"Cultivating immortals is a road against the will of heaven. There are many dangers in it. If you are not careful, you will put the practitioners in a place of no return. If you cause human trouble again, it will be a loss."

"Now that the wings are not full, don't act rashly. Send orders to let them hold back. If anyone violates them any more, exile him." Graphite ordered.

"Yes, Lord!" Yunxiao and Chun Huayang bowed and led their orders.

Liuxian used the earth escape technique to dig a temporarily resting cave underground. Yue Yao hurriedly took out a poison-avoiding pill from the space ring and swallowed it. His face became much better.

"Brother Yue Dao, that graphite is a Mayi Immortal. If I awaken, I would definitely not use such tricks. Now I can be sure that he does not have the strength to fight against us, so I let the Bishanhua come out to do tricks. But graphite has not yet awakened, how did the Bishanhua get the cultivation and magic of the Bishanhua?" Huang Muyuan asked in confusion.

"Their magic is quite superficial, but they are just a lot of tricks, which makes people unable to defend themselves." Donghuang Mian said.

Yue Yao smiled: "Graphite and others searched for the immortal weapons scattered in the world, so they naturally would not let go of some spells that flowed into the people."

"Folk spell?"

"Yes, it is folk magic! For example, when taking a grass in front of a person, after chanting a spell, he will turn into a snake, and then scare the people around him; or when taking a stone, after chanting a spell, he will throw it into the river, and it will turn into a fish. In the past, a Taoist used this spell to throw it into the rice field and make a prank; or when using a table, he stood up with a single foot, and then chanting the spell, the table will turn itself. Or when he sees the rice of life, he will deliberately chant the spell and cast the spell, and let the table turn itself.

People cannot cook rice no matter what, and rice is always raw; or when people burn fire, there are smoke everywhere. In order to tease the chef, they put some things at the door, but the cigarette in the house cannot be out, which is extremely choking. Or if you stand a plate, put some chess pieces on it, throw cats or mice inside, it will only keep going around in circles, and you can never get out. This is not a formation, such changing techniques are called illusions. They have the content of magic but are not pure spells."

Yue Yao said, recalling: "Most illusions are harmless and are often used as Taoist teasing. Each has its own principles. Some are certain and difficult to explain spell phenomena, some are chemical phenomena, some are common in modern times and some are uncommon: for example, the unusual thing is that makes the egg shell fly up, and the internal chemical reaction involves detailed chemical reactions; for example, the noodles are put in a pot, which is originally in water, but disappears in a blink of an eye; for example, a common tortoise shell carved with words, which disappears after a while. In ancient times, this was either done with rice paste or with drugs, which was essentially chemical change. So this kind of thing makes sense."

"There are some that are not clear, but are related to physics or chemistry. For example, if you take a leaf and cut it into a fish, apply it with a fish gall, put it in water, and it will swim by itself. Although it is said that it is related to the pressure of bile and water, objective research has not seen it. For example, take a fish oil, apply it on a small metal jewelry, and stroke it in the middle of a bowl of water, and the water will separate and it will be difficult to close for a long time. Although it seems to be explained from a physical perspective, they are rather contrary to common sense."

"There is another type that is even harder to explain, such as the instant melon technique. A seed is placed in the soil and watered, and the melon can grow in less than an hour. Although the operation method and process use drugs, no one knows why the principle behind this phenomenon is. Others, the Dead Tree Flying Spring Technique is also similar to the production methods, but no one knows what the principle is."

"In general, the most unexplainable thing is pure spells. For example, when people are carrying coffins, they can make the coffin heavy by matching spells. Two people can lift them, but it is very difficult for several people to lift them. Also, when they see bees collecting bees and release bees, they will fly over and gather together, and then through spells, they can fly in a designated direction or attack others."

"It's more like the technique of calculating snakes. Before entering the mountain, you can choose the designated grass and chant the spell and tie the five knots. When you enter the mountain, you won't encounter poisonous snakes. Even if you encounter a small snake on the road, you will still be hiding there and will not move, and you won't attack people. This kind of spell is still used in some places in remote areas. For example, there is a technique of odor collection, which is usually done by a fixed word of taboo and talisman. After being left there for a month in summer, the body of a human body will not become odorous. It's also like the common technique of collecting or collecting ghosts in folk gods and witches. For example, a doctor always has a fever but cannot cure it, and it's good to catch the shock."

"If someone suffers from a mental illness, they can't cure it. Using the method of collecting ghosts can make people return to normal in one go."

"The last type is magic. Magic is more common. Although there are always magical things, its principle is easier to find. The level of magic is no longer reflected in objective phenomena. Most of them depend on the techniques of magicians who practice extremely fast for a long time. It emphasizes that skills and many factors are combined, so it is an art."

"We can clearly feel that there is a strong rural custom, because they have little to do with the great way, but mostly related to clever things. Because of this, these operations are rarely mentioned in the Dharma, and the operation methods are completely different."

"The third is to use the method of collecting shock. In folk methods, you usually use an egg or a bowl to put rice on the head, then use the egg to catch the shock on the person's head, or cover it with a rice bowl with a red cloth, and then chant mantras around the head, or stand chopsticks to ask ghosts, etc. The effect is better and you need to burn some dark money. You can obviously find that they have a strong witchcraft color. Because they are all used to save people, they are not considered evil methods, but they are also not Taoist Dharma."

"The Taoist Dharma is much simpler to deal with these situations. If a child is surprised, he can solve it by directly using a mantra and a talisman. If a simple method cannot be solved, it can be easily solved by opening a cauldron and processing it, but the whole process will not be mixed with too strong folk witchcraft colors."

"From the Taoist Techniques in some local schools, there are many folk witchcraft-colored things. Most of them are because of the lack of rituals and the lack of cultivation of the wizards, so they have to use these means. However, these means are objectively not Taoist Dharma. Although they are not opposed to the use of them for treatment, it is necessary to note that although these means are effective at times, they are helpless when they are not effective."

"So where do folk magic come from?" After hearing Yue Yao's words, Huang Muyuan asked curiously.

Yue Yao thought for a while and explained: "Some are from witchcraft, and some are fragmented fragments of Taoism. Their origin is difficult to test. I guess it is either because of the historical heritage, or because the master and disciple just intercepted the fragments that he thought were easier to use, which led to serious incompleteness of this inheritance."

"This kind of phenomenon is more obvious in folk Dharma teachings. Of course, there are still many Dharma teachings that have a complete inheritance, but as of the current situation, some Dharma teachings are obviously incomplete. Taking the small Tiangang Palm as an example, you can think of the Great Saint of Tiangang by pinching the hand gestures on your hands, and then absorbing the Gang Qi. After practicing this, it can be used to treat diseases and exorcises evil. Many practitioners have excellent results in practice."

"This method is obviously a small piece cut from the Taoist Tianxin method, and then I only practice Tiangang, but this method is problematic. Only practicing Tiangang but not the sun and moon. If the qi is not harmonized by Yin and Yang, it will have side effects. Therefore, many people will not be able to use their own body after practicing this palm technique too much."

"The laws of Tao are different. If you follow the laws, and not talk about the merit of prolonging life, at least you will have no problem ensuring your health. Normal people who practice Taoism basically don't have to hire a doctor. Ordinary people who occasionally get cold can cure themselves. As for serious illness, they basically won't get it."

"Of course, in reality, it depends on the actual situation. You cannot see a Taoist going to see a doctor, and it is said that he cannot practice his own skills. Getting sick is a matter of probability. Practicing Taoism can reduce the probability, but it does not mean that you can avoid getting sick at all. You need to achieve a higher level of skill in not being sick at all."

"Other situation is that if some Taoists study too much about a certain priority and do not practice cultivation and health preservation skills, this is no different from ordinary people, so it is normal to suffer from illness. Moreover, there are many taboos for folk kung fu, such as some Dharma schools avoid eating bullfrogs and fish, and some schools cannot eat meat completely, and some schools need to be poor and poor, and these problems do not exist in Taoist kung fu."

"There are people who practice Dharma that eating beef will lead to ineffectiveness. In fact, this statement does not exist for the Dharma, because there was no saying that eating beef was not allowed in the past. Not eating beef was because of the influence of foreign cultures. They believed that cows were the incarnation of gods and were sacred and could not be eaten. However, with the evolution of culture, people believed that cows were one of the representatives of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so they did not eat them to show respect. This is a respect for the nature of heaven and earth. If you are a disciple, you should abide by this dogma."

"So, both in the system and in the positive sense of people themselves, there are many differences between the orthodox kung fu of Taoism and folk kung fu, which is largely reflected in the side effects of cultivation. In folk magic practice, although some practitioners claim that the times have progressed, they do not need to be picked up."

"But in fact, some folk practitioners will encounter this problem without realizing it, and their luck will become worse and worse. This is also the reason why folk masters of magic often use very inconspicuous places, usually a very inconspicuous vulgar person, but in fact they are very high in the level of Dharma."

"Although it seems that many folk Dharma teachings are not complete, they cannot be denied. There are many ideological essences in folk magic that are worth learning. As for the simplest one bowl of water for a thousand diseases, many diseases will be cured after being treated by folk monks with a bowl of water. Although some psychological factors cannot be ruled out, their real effects cannot be explained by just psychological factors."

"The most worth learning is that folk magic often uses a simple small magic repeatedly so that it is used very carefully. In fact, as long as Taoist priests who know how to be a Taoist temple can do it, the water is just used to purify the filth, and the rest is poured out at will. Many mages have practiced for a long time, but they don't know that if they practice it thoroughly, just a little water can be used to cure diseases and exorcises. If they use it more carefully, it can also be used to improve the Feng Shui aura. Its effectiveness is extremely powerful, but the premise is to practice more."

"There is an objective phenomenon: a practitioner who has been in the Tao for many years is not of high level and has no ability to give people the impression. If you say he doesn't know, he can actually know everything, but it just doesn't work. Some folk monks don't know much, but they are very effective as soon as they are used. Why is this?"

"The reason is that if the folk law is a point, most of the Taoist law disciplines are one surface. In terms of mana, the use of limited mana on a point will naturally be stronger than that on a surface, but the use of a point will ultimately be limited. If there is enough mana, the effect of covering on a surface will be much greater than the effect on a point."

"Most of the practitioners today do not practice every step seriously, and then they are eager to practice the entire Dharma. Not only that, but a large number of believers also need to do it together. As a result, the magic power is more dispersed, and the effect of a temple is often not as good as ordinary folk monks to solve problems on one person in just two seconds. This requires reflection."
