Chapter 6 The Way of the Seal
The person who painted was another roommate of Hua Yu and Mu Ziyu, named Yu Chun, wearing a brown shirt with a cloak, ordinary appearance, his personality was kind, not good at words, obsessed with painting, and he was Hua Yu's last batch of disciples.
Mu Ziyu saw that Yu Chun didn't find the two of them, so he rolled his eyes and sneaked behind him, making a gesture about to make trouble.
"You're back!" The sudden voice made Mu Ziyu's movements stiffen, and then his face was deflated, and then he walked to Yu Chun's side and said, "Senior Brother Yu, you are painting again!"
At this time, Yu Chun also finished painting, carefully put the freshly painted painting aside, and then scratched his head and greeted the two with a generous face: "The two junior brothers are back."
Mu Ziyu waved his hand "um", and Hua Yu also asked with a smile, "What is Senior Brother Yu painting again?"
"I just paint casually, I draw whatever I see, but I always feel that everything is not good at drawing," Yu Chun said embarrassedly.
Hua Yu set his eyes on the painting in his hand, and saw that the painting was as large as the mountain peak and the small courtyard, as small as the dust and insects, all of which were included, like a miniature version of the small courtyard and its surroundings, everything seemed to be real, as if it was about to run out of the painting.
For Yu Chun, Hua Yu has always admired him. Although Senior Brother Yu has always been at the bottom of their group of disciples, and even many of them in the same batch have already 'entered the Dao Kaiyuan' and entered the inner gate, but Senior Brother Yu still has not entered the Dao. And Senior Brother Yu always said that he was stupid and had poor understanding, and others also laughed at him for being stupid. But Hua Yu felt that he was a wise and foolish person.
Because Senior Brother Yu can clearly position himself, he understands that his qualifications are poor, so the stupid bird flies first, works harder than anyone else, has high requirements for himself, will concentrate on doing everything well, and seriously study all the basic knowledge of the outer door.
Others don't know, but Hua Yu does clearly know that his foundation is so solid that all the disciples of the outer sect can't compare.
For the cultivation skills such as talismans, medicines, instruments, and arrays, everyone is eager to learn all of them, but Senior Brother Yu thinks that he is not wise enough and his ability is limited, so he only focuses on the talismans.
Senior Brother Yu also has great wisdom and perseverance, Senior Brother Yu is obsessed with painting, when he encounters something difficult to understand, he often tries to draw it, in his words: "I have poor understanding, many things can not be understood quickly, but as long as I can draw it well, then I can basically understand, because for a thing that I don't understand at all, I can't draw well." ”
From these, it can be seen that Senior Brother Yu is a wise and foolish person. Although Hua Yu himself understands these truths, it is difficult to do them, so he has always admired Senior Brother Yu very much.
After carefully putting the painting in his hand, he smiled at Yu Chun and said, "Senior brother, your painting is already very good, senior brother continue to work hard, we believe in you."
After Hua Yu finished speaking, Mu Ziyu also encouraged and encouraged, "Senior Brother Yu, you don't have to be too anxious, isn't there still a few years, we believe that you will be able to successfully enter the Dao Kaiyuan and enter the inner gate before the 20-year period."
The outer disciples of Taixuanzong are in batches of ten years, and they are held every twenty years. Disciples who are still unable to enter the Dao Kaiyuan after twenty years of initiation will be sent down the mountain gate and assigned to the various branches of the sect, far away from the core of the sect.
Because it will be time for Senior Brother Yu's batch to graduate in three years, Hua Yu and the others are very worried about him. As for himself, he doesn't seem to care.
...
Hua Yu returned to the bedroom, first took a nap in bed, and then began to do what he had to do every day, which was to practice the art of talisman seals.
The talisman seal is the foundation of the entire path of cultivation, running through all aspects of spells, refining weapons, and formations. If the rune seal is compared to words, then spells, refining tools and formations are good sentences in the article, and no matter which one is inseparable from the rune seal.
In order to learn the Fu Seal well, then it is necessary to understand the origin and development history of the Fu Seal.
Fu Seal first originated in the era of gods and demons in the Yuan Dynasty, Taiyuan Dao Ancestor in order to facilitate the exchange and inheritance of all ethnic groups, to create three thousand laws of divine text. The Three Thousand Laws Divine Text carries the true meaning of the Great Dao, and has infinite power and immeasurable supernatural powers.
After that, all the ethnic groups of heaven and earth followed suit, and various scripts such as dragon and phoenix chapters, cloud pattern thunder seals, bird seals, insect texts, star texts, mountains and rivers inscriptions, etc., came into being. Each of these texts has its own advantages and serves a great purpose.
However, the Three Thousand Law Divine Text is too lofty and can only be comprehended by powerful people, and it is simply a book of heaven for ordinary beings, and it is not applicable. However, each ethnic script has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not suitable for all races.
Therefore, the Terran Yuan Rune Dao people comprehended the three thousand avenue divine inscriptions and the characters of various ethnic groups, created the way of runes and seals common to all races, and summed up the two hundred and forty basic runes, and the twelve hundred and sixty-nine thousand six hundred runes composed of runes, which are one yuan.
And Yuan Fu Zhenren also opened up a precedent for the Tao of Fu and walked out of the world of cultivation.
Later generations have continued to improve on the basis of the Yuan Fu Zhenren, bringing forth the new, constantly discovering new basic runes, and creating new runes. At present, there are three hundred and five basic runes, and there are countless runes, carrying forward the way of runes.
Moreover, after the Yuan Fu Zhenren, the Terrans also invented ordinary words that had no supernatural power and only literal meanings, which were used for ordinary communication.
At present, Hua Yu's disciples who have not yet entered the Dao mainly learn and practice the three hundred and five basic runes, as well as the combination rules and taboos of the runes, etc., as for the runes, they only learn a simple one.
Don't look at just a few hundred basic runes, this is knowledge that every cultivator can't learn for life. These basic runes are not like ordinary writing, as long as they can be written.
Runes need to be practiced continuously, often missing a thousand miles, and also to understand the role and meaning of each part of the rune, the connection between the parts of the rune when the rune is formed, and the artistic conception should be paid attention to when drawing the rune is like calligraphy, and some master painters also have to integrate their understanding of the avenue into the rune seal.
Anyway, the way of the rune seal is broad and profound, everyone has their own understanding, the same rune seal is drawn by different people, but it is different.
Hua Yu dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, first closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, meditated and practiced qi for a while, and after adjusting the state to the best, he sat down at the desk by the window, spread out the talisman paper, lifted the talisman pen and began to draw talismans.
Hua Yu is going to draw the basic runes that calm the mind and calm the nerves, and divide the runes into basic, intermediate and advanced according to the number of runes, the complexity of the runes and the functional power of the runes.
And each level of the talisman is roughly divided into five grades, such as the lower grade, the middle grade, the upper grade, the best and the best according to the level of the talisman.
Hua Yu ran the exercises, adjusted the vitality in the dantian into the rune pen, and then landed the rune pen on the rune paper and began to draw the rune. The basic talisman seal of tranquility is composed of nine runes, and the talismans are drawn in one go, and there is no hesitation.
Start the pen, walk like a flowing turn, and finally put down the pen, the whole rune flash at the moment of the pen, and return to normal after a while.
The rune seal as a whole looks bell-shaped, not only the basic rune seal of tranquility is this shape, although almost all the runes that make up the rune seal are very different, and the arrangement and combination of runes are also ever-changing, but the final shape is the shape of a bell.
Because the Yuan Fu Dao people found that the shape of the bell is the most suitable shape when they created the Fu Seal, and the structure of the bell is the easiest to mobilize the maximum power between heaven and earth with the smallest force, people speculate that because the bell is a sacrificial ritual vessel, it was originally used to sacrifice heaven and earth, and its shape itself is the shape of the avenue.
And the way of the seal, to put it bluntly, is also borrowed from the power of heaven and earth, the bell-shaped structure, like a sacrifice to heaven and earth, so it is the most suitable.
