Chapter 1,117 Hunting a god to verify what has been learned
"Is Dongchang coming?"
Two-quarters of an hour after Chen Hong appeared at the Dongchang Yamen, Jinyiwei sent a messenger south.
Before Chen Hong's men left the gates of Beijing, the letter had already been delivered to Lu Bing, and then to Li Yan.
Li Yan knew that Jiajing's patience was almost exhausted, so he put down the letter calmly and said to the affable, businessman-like man in front of him: "Let's continue to discuss the way of talismans."
The man was Zhu San from the Thirteen Taibao. Hearing the news, he was quite solemn: "Sir, please be more careful. Eunuch Chen is not a kind person. He suddenly took over Dongchang, and he might do evil things..."
Since he said it so directly, Li Yan also gave the other party some reassurance: "Where does this Eunuch Chen rank among the eunuchs of the Bureau of Ceremony?"
Zhu San thought thoughtfully and replied: "In the last place."
Li Yan asked: "Then why don't you use the second and third-ranked father-in-law to take over the East Factory?"
Zhu San's eyes flickered: "Well..."
Li Yan asked again: "Does Jin Yiwei have a bad impression of Eunuch Chen?"
Zhu San had already said bad things before, so there was no need for Zhu San to hide it: "In the ceremonial department, Eunuch Lu is the most generous and generous. Eunuch Teng, Eunuch Meng, and Eunuch Huang are also kind-hearted people. Eunuch Chen is a little impatient.
The foreign ministers and I all know this."
Lu Fang, Teng Xiang, Meng Chong, Huang Jin, and Chen Hong are the five most powerful eunuchs in the palace at present. They say they are kind and generous, but in fact they are just masks. In the harem battles, they use all possible means to gain the upper hand.
There are no simple and kind-hearted eunuchs...
But obviously, Chen Hong couldn't even pretend well and gave the foreign ministers the worst impression.
Li Yan said: "In this case, if Eunuch Chen takes over, I'm afraid he will be eager for quick success!"
Zhu San already understood: "Sir, you saw it accurately..."
When Chen Hong takes over the affairs of Dongchang, he must recruit a talented person from Jinyiwei. If he were to handle the affairs normally, he would actually be the most unsuitable candidate. Wanzai is best at making use of the people around him, so you won't be unaware of this.
So if Chen Hong, who was originally unqualified, was suddenly asked to take over Dongchang, there was only one possibility: Lu Bing was playing the red face and came to invite people to Beijing, while Chen Hong was playing the bad side and came to bring people to Beijing.
And since Jinyiwei is in front and Dongchang is behind, it shows that His Majesty pays more and more attention to this miracle doctor. Is it the end of being a white-faced person...
Zhu San turned the word "abandoned son" around in his mind, and then looked at the indifferent miracle doctor in front of him, becoming more serious.
Chen Hong is a fan of the authorities, but not everyone can see clearly from the outside. This man can see everything from just a few words, which is really amazing!
Li Yan didn't care about Chen Hong. He was concerned about Jiajing's psychological state to measure the best time for him to enter the capital. Now he returned to the original topic: "I would also like to ask Qianhu for advice on the way of talismans."
Zhu San drew a talisman and stuck it on the door, which made the room warm as spring without any feeling of heat. Li Yan was very interested in this and was talking about it just now.
Zhu San also put aside those thoughts and returned to the way of talismans: "I don't dare to give you advice, but the way of talismans is indeed not easy. Sir, are you really prepared to explore it?"
Li Yandao: "I have been in contact with it for a long time, and it is closely related to my path of Taoist medicine."
"The first level of Taoist medicine focuses on physical treatment, the second level focuses on health preservation, and the third level is spiritual treatment, using Taoism, morality, talismans, divination, fortune-telling, mantras, sacrifices and other methods to help patients recover internally and externally;"
"Therefore, the means are also divided into five pieces: one pair of hands, one needle, one handful of grass, one furnace of pills, and one talisman."
Zhu San suddenly realized: "That's it!"
In addition to his own Jindan Dao, Li Yan is currently involved in two minor fields, one is alchemy, and the other is talismans.
Taoist talismans have a wide range of functions. They can be used to write elixirs on paper, dissolve them in water after burning, and let the patients drink them. They can also be used to perform ritual rituals, such as writing talismans on seals and playing memorials to the gods. They can be used to summon generals to invite gods, drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits.
It is used to take care of the underworld and refine the souls of the dead. It can be worn on the body or attached to the bedroom door, which is another use.
He is most concerned about Fu Shui. The real Fu Shui in history is a simple decoction combined with the belief in ghosts and gods.
After the patient drinks Talisman Water, he will feel a kind of psychological comfort. Once his body recovers, he will become more and more convinced of Talisman Water.
In the extraordinary world, Fu Shui is the only choice for treating a large number of people. In comparison, elixirs and acupuncture can treat a single patient. When there are too many people, the efficiency is far less than Fu Shui.
There are many talisman techniques in "Shenxiao Dharma Ribbon". Li Yan has indeed started to study it early, and recently he has taken aim at Zhu San's talisman experience.
Zhu San was not unwilling to teach, but he was a little hesitant: "Mr. Li also knows that the governor cares about the golden elixir. If he knew that I disturbed Mr. Alchemy, he would definitely blame him..."
Li Yandao: "I am very aware of Governor Lu's concern, but haste makes waste in everything, and the golden elixir path cannot be achieved hastily. It is still in the preparation stage, and it will still take some time until it is actually refined."
Thinking that Tao Zhongwen, a heavenly master, was eager to offer longevity peaches, but this person was doing everything as usual, Zhu San said sincerely: "Mr. Li is really indifferent, okay, I will show my shame. This is the picture of "Yun Zhuan"!"
When a talisman diagram was unfolded, nearly a hundred talismans appeared on it. Li Yan looked at it and couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!"
Taoist talismans are divided into fuwen, cloud seal script, spiritual talisman, talisman pictures, etc. according to the graphics. At this time, Zhu San combined the "cloud talismans" and "talisman pictures" to make it extremely gorgeous.
Many ethereal strokes disappear and disappear, changing erratically. Sometimes they are bright and majestic, and sometimes they are foggy, mysterious and bizarre, turning into a picture scroll floating in the air.
Li Yan quickly distinguished the two and figured out the mystery: "Is this the difference between fighting gods and exorcising ghosts?"
Zhu San gestured and said: "Yes, this one is a talisman for communicating with gods, and that one is for driving ghosts. With Mr. Taoist attainments, it is not difficult to master them, but now that the gods and Buddhas have disappeared, many talismans have new tricks."
Li Yan said happily: "I was just about to ask for advice."
Although he has returned to the ancient method in alchemy, it does not mean that he looks down on the new method. On the contrary, many ideas in the new method are not only worth learning from, but are also more suitable for today's environment.
Otherwise, the talismans in "Shenxiao Dharma" are very complete, and there is no need to ask for help from others. It is really limited by the environment, and it is difficult for the talismans that were powerful in the past to be effective now.
Zhu San began to explain in detail, and along with the cloud diagram, he took photos of the "cloud baskets" one by one in front of him and analyzed their composition.
Li Yan listened carefully, and after a while he nodded and said: "After the gods and Buddhas disappeared, they no longer responded directly, but there were still imprints left in the world. The new method of talismans starts from here. In this way, in the subtleties, we can compare
It’s much more difficult than before.”
Zhu San smiled and said: "Sir, you have a keen eye, but you also give opportunities to practitioners like us who do not have authentic inheritance. In the past, the success of the talisman depended entirely on the authentic Taoism, and the side followers were the butt of ridicule, but now we focus on personal cultivation!"
The talisman is composed of five major elements: "talisman head", "main god and Buddha", "talisman belly", "talisman foot" and "talisman gallbladder".
"Futou" is an edict, which differs from sect to sect. You can immediately identify whether it is a direct practice or a heretical practice;
Needless to say, "the main deity and Buddha" is the name of the deity and ghost to be invoked;
The "talisman belly" is the function. What is the purpose of drawing this talisman?
The "talisman foot" is closed, locking the magic power in the talisman;
"Fu Dan" means isolation, preventing irrelevant forces from invading.
Under normal circumstances, the first three look at the quality of inheritance, while the latter two test the ability to draw talismans.
But now, the five major elements have changed.
The first three become the key, while the latter two become less technical.
Because no matter how good the talisman is inherited, even if it is painted by the "Three Talisman Sects", it will not get a response from the gods and Buddhas. If you want the talisman to be effective, you have to adopt the method of virtualizing the gods and ghosts and communicating with the imprint of heaven and earth. This step is in
It is keyly reflected in the "talisman head", "main god and Buddha" and "talisman belly".
So when it comes to this, Zhu San feels proud.
Li Yan is also an explorer without a sect, so he naturally agrees: "This is indeed more fair... So is the Divine Forbidden a derivative enhancement based on it?"
Zhu Sandao: "Exactly
In this way, divine restraint does not exist in the ancient law, and it is only because of the endless changes in the way of talismans that the foundation of divine restraint is established."
Li Yan now knew how to crack Tao Zhongwen's "Spirit Locking Ring" using the orthodox method. No wonder the progress was slow. It turned out that he had not found the right method.
Similarly, his "Seven Needles to Control the God" Divine Restriction was imitated very well, but he knew what it was and didn't know why, so of course there was no progress.
Now we start from the basics, starting from the energy of heaven and earth, and with the guidance of the practical school, we can say that we have made rapid progress.
In just two afternoons, when Li Yan took up his pen and wrote in one stroke, he showed the effect of a "cloud basket" that expelled toxins and healed wounds. When he burned it in a bowl of water, he looked at the talisman water filled with medicinal energy. As a teacher,
Zhu Sanda was deeply moved: "Sir, you are truly a genius. I am afraid that all I have learned in the past twenty years will be wiped out in a few days!"
Li Yan saluted: "Thanks to Qianhu who gave me the know-how about talismans, which saved me a lot of detours... The Thirteen Taibao are all talented people!"
Now among the Thirteen Taibao, he has seen Zhu Zhong, Zhu San, Zhu Si, Zhu Qi, and Zhu Twelve, all of whom are capable of acting independently. It must be said that the Jin Yiwei under Lu Bing's command is indeed full of talents.
And Zhu Shisan, who has not yet reached the championship, but has already shown outstanding talent, had a brilliant future, but was brutally killed by leeches. It is a pity...
Zhu San also thought of his young sworn brother, with a look of deep hatred. Yunlu flew out, arranged a soundproof space, and said in a hateful voice: "That Japanese leech killed Xiao San, I don't know.
Sir, is there any way to kill him and avenge my brother?"
Li Yandao: "A god who can transform into someone else at any time is much more threatening than the enemy on the surface. Now that it is confirmed that the leech is on Tao Zhongwen's side, we must destroy the other side first."
"Captain Lu also asked this question before. I didn't give a clear answer at that time because I couldn't confirm the other party's whereabouts and couldn't make any guarantee."
"Now that Dongchang is heading south, my hopes are greatly increased..."
Zhu San was puzzled: "What's the point of this?"
Li Yandao: "Dongchang's dispatch will make Tao Zhongwen realize that his Shoudao has not stabilized the situation, and the Dragon Girl is still a huge threat."
Zhu San understood: "That's true. Your Majesty is someone who is easy to deceive. He was too naive to try to stabilize his position with a Shoudao who didn't know what was true or false!"
Jiajing is extremely difficult to fool, especially in terms of Taoism. Emperor Qin and Han Wu were deceived by alchemists, but throughout the entire Jiajing Dynasty in history, the only two Taoist priests who died a good death were not easy. In this world, they really have
The power of gods and Buddhas is even more difficult to deal with.
Li Yan continued: "Will the Dragon Girl be satisfied with the Taoist spiritual food prepared by Tao Zhongwen this time?"
The corners of Zhu San's lips raised: "Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Although in the hearts of Lu Bing and the Thirteen Taibao, the Dragon Girl is noble and majestic, it does not hinder the recognition that this miracle doctor Li has an unparalleled influence on the Dragon Girl.
In this way, unless the Taoist spiritual food is the spiritual fruit of heaven and earth, and you are really embarrassed to say no against your conscience, you can still pick out the thorns.
Li Yan concluded: "Since the Dragon Girl is still a huge threat and difficult to bribe, what will Tao Zhongwen do?"
Zhu San was startled at first, and then he looked horrified: "Sir, do you mean that Tao Zhongwen will attack the Dragon Girl?"
Li Yan asked, "Isn't it possible?"
Zhu San murmured to himself: "Yes, yes, he dared to attack the governor. He really wanted to keep his position as Heavenly Master and did everything possible. Why didn't Dragon Girl dare to do it? But how could he do it...sent
Leeches?"
Li Yan said: "It's not necessarily absolute, but it's the most likely."
"Leezi is originally a Japanese god. During the process of rescuing the dragon girl, I had a fierce conflict with the Japanese practitioners. The Ruyi Pearl also helped me wipe out a group of thieves..."
"If the leech succeeds, they will only think it is the revenge of the Japanese. How can they think of the great tomorrow's master? For this thief, it is absolutely possible to give it a try!"
Zhu San's eyes flashed with light, and he wanted to report it to Lu Bing immediately and arrange an ambush: "What you said, sir, is reasonable, then we can
Just sit back and wait for the rabbit!"
Li Yan poured cold water on him: "The situation of the Japanese god is still uncertain, but to deal with the unpredictable dragon girl, Shui Zizi will mobilize all his strength, and will not just rely on a weak incarnation..."
"So it's probably difficult to just sit back and wait. The leech's magical power is most conducive to latent observation. If there is the slightest movement, it may be noticed by it and then escape..."
"Fortunately, if the other party wants to take action, they will also choose a time when they can best shirk responsibility. This allows us to seize some opportunities and make arrangements!"
Zhu San took a deep breath and calmed down: "I understand, what our Jin Yiwei should do now is to pretend not to know, rather than being clever and setting up traps. But in this case, we can only rely on Mr. to protect the Dragon Girl..."
Li Yan smiled: "Learning the way of talismans is the help of Qianhu. Since I embarked on the road of Taoist medicine, I have learned a lot of skills. It's time to verify it."
Zhu San was silent.
Hunting a god to verify what you have learned?
In this vast world, I am afraid that only this Taoist doctor who revived Shinto can say this naturally without any arrogance, right?
