"That pockmarked face didn't trick me. He really has something valuable!"
Xu Dao held the blank talisman paper and thought about what happened when he threw it into the fire.
Once the talisman paper originally filled with writing was burned by fire, the words on it gradually separated from the paper, and there were signs of merging into talisman types.
A conjecture appeared in Xu Dao's mind. He thought about it for a moment, feeling surprised and happy in his heart.
If it is what he thinks, the talisman in front of him is really a secret treasure that can help him achieve enlightenment and become an immortal!
Involuntarily, Xu Dao felt a little worried in his heart, fearing that his joy would be in vain. But when he realized this, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Xu Dao put this worry behind him and thought: "You will know once you try it!"
Immediately, Xu Dao swept the ground, flattened the unmarked urn on the ground, and pressed it with stones. Then he took out cinnabar, talisman pens and other objects from the bag he carried with him, and placed them one by one in front of him.
After taking out the things, Xu Dao did not immediately start drawing talisman. Instead, he sat cross-legged and calmed down.
He silently recited the Taiyin Moonlight Breathing Mantra in his heart three times, then tapped his teeth seven times, and then rubbed his warm eyelids with his hands nine times... He repeated this, and after about a quarter of an hour, Xu Daofang opened his eyes and took a breath from the gourd.
Pour water, grind cinnabar, and prepare to draw the talisman.
Lifting the talisman pen, Xu Dao pondered for a moment. He held the pen and closed his eyes slightly, first visualizing a bright moon in his mind. The moon was as white as the moon, as bright as the Mid-Autumn Moon. It was like a laurel tree and a toad palace. It was a round lump.
Something that shines brightly.
The Taiyin Moonlight Breathing Method is a common practice method in the White Bone Temple. You only need to visualize the moon wheel talisman to gather the moonlight. If the Taoist practitioner practices accordingly, the moonlight can be swallowed into the mouth, dispersed and refined into true energy.
.
Xu Dao had already mastered it. After the visual pattern gradually emerged in his mind, he felt the moonlight falling from the sky like goose feathers in pieces, falling to the ground, and the snow turned into frost, dyeing the forest silvery white.
When he opened his eyes again, in Xu Dao's eyes, the sky and the earth were filled with silvery white, and there was moonlight everywhere. As he breathed in and out, he could vaguely capture the moonlight entrance.
But Xu Dao suppressed his breathing and did not swallow the moonlight. He immediately held the talisman pen, tapped the cinnabar, and drew the core talisman of the Lunar Moonlight Breathing Method on the yellow paper.
Talismans are derived from the patterns of heaven and earth. They have many functions of communicating with heaven and earth, summoning gods and impeaching ghosts, and suppressing demons and demons. Their styles are countless and strange.
Among them, there are Fuwen ones, which are composed of two or more small characters, and a few are formed by the combination of multiple horizontal and vertical strokes; there are Yunzhuan ones, which imitate the changing shapes of clouds in the sky or the style of ancient seal scripts; there are also complex ones.
Various shapes composed of dots and lines... there are many.
Xu Dao's hand-painted talismans at this time were mainly based on the pattern of a bright moon, using lines to draw laurel trees, and using words to build toad palaces. They were complex, mysterious, and required only one stroke to draw.
When Xu Dao first practiced this method, it took him a lot of effort and time just to memorize this picture correctly. Fortunately, he is now familiar with it, and he is concentrating on it today, and he succeeded in it in one stroke.
Stopping writing, Xu Dao exhaled a breath of white air.
The unwritten paper has changed from blank to mysterious. The runes on it are red and the coils are twisted and twisted. At a glance, it seems that there is a delicate crimson moon falling on the rune paper.
Seeing that the core runes of the Tuna Method had been successfully drawn on the talisman paper, Xu Dao's heart suddenly became filled with anticipation and nervousness.
He took a deep breath, shook decisively, and threw the talisman into the fire.
Bang! The charcoal exploded, the flames were raging, the talisman paper entered the fire, and the patterns on it really twisted and squirmed!
Xu Dao opened his eyes wide and stared at the fire.
The talisman paper was red, burned by the flames, and showed no signs of burning. However, the cinnabar-written runes on it gradually melted, and then separated from the paper bit by bit, floating three feet above the paper.
Gradually it turned into a crimson moon pattern.
In Xu Dao's pupils, the moon wheel pattern kept rolling and changing, and the words "Taiyin Moonlight Breathing Method" faintly emerged.
"Really! This is the talisman!" Seeing this scene, Xu Dao's breathing became heavy.
The scene in front of you is very similar to the scene of the condensation of talisman recorded in the Tuna method. Once the moon wheel is formed and solidified, the practitioner can imprint it on the Yin God, which is called planting the talisman!
But something happened that made Xu Dao palpitate. Although the moon wheel pattern kept rolling and changing, and the lines gradually became clearer, it reached a certain point. The moon wheel pattern could never be further condensed, let alone transformed from virtual to solid.
The symbol is planted.
Xu Dao stared at the scene in front of him, with thoughts running through his mind.
Within a few breaths, the moon wheel pattern continued for a while. Although it appeared for a longer time than the "picking and cutting" just now, it eventually disintegrated and disappeared.
Xu Dao's heart sank, he took out the talisman paper from the fire, stroked the blank paper again, and became silent.
Although the joy in his heart has disappeared, he is not completely disappointed.
"Based on the situation just now, this unmarked talisman is indeed a treasure, and it is possible to produce talisman seeds." Xu Dao speculated.
"But I don't know why, something is missing, and the talisman cannot be truly condensed."
He looked at the characterless talisman in his hand and suddenly remembered that in order to prepare a truly effective talisman, he not only needed to be able to draw the rune patterns by hand, but also needed the corresponding talisman paper, talisman ink, and cultivation!
The more powerful the talisman, the higher the requirements for these, and sometimes it is necessary to use a special talisman pen.
Although Xu Dao had successfully drawn the runes on the talisman paper just now, he was not making talismans, he was just copying them.
Only Taoists with Qi refining and above have the ability to draw talismans when the true qi leaves the body. However, Xu Dao is just a Taoist boy and cannot actually draw talismans.
Xu Dao pondered and thought: "The uncharacterized urn is already a piece of talisman paper, and I only have an ordinary talisman pen in my hand. It is impossible to find anyone else to try. I can only try one or two more on the talisman ink."
Already."
The ink used to draw talismans does not necessarily have to be cinnabar. Anything with spiritual energy can be used. Xu Dao has seen people in Taoism using gold powder, monster bone powder, spiritual liquid and other materials to draw talismans.
Xu Dao glanced at his cassock, and then looked away. There was only cinnabar in his cassock, and it was ordinary cinnabar, which had no magical effect.
However, it was not impossible for Xu Dao to find another kind of talisman. He squinted his eyes slightly, took the small bowl where cinnabar was ground just now, poured out the cinnabar inside, and then put in new cinnabar powder.
Xu Dao took out a small knife, placed his left hand on the mouth of the bowl, then gently cut his fingertips and dripped blood into the bowl.
When blood meets cinnabar, the bowl becomes brighter and brighter, giving off a dazzling feeling.
Ink is used to draw talismans, and human blood is also a material. Especially Taoists who have breathed in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are quite spiritual, and the blood in their bodies is more suitable for drawing talisman.
Mixing blood with cinnabar to make ink, Xu Dao calmed down and visualized the moon wheel pattern again. He lay on the ground, stroke by stroke, and concentrated on drawing on the uncharacterized urn.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Dao stopped writing, and a bright red talisman paper suddenly appeared in front of him. The moon wheel pattern on it was a bit weird, but it was much more vivid than before.
Xu Dao didn't know if he was successful in drawing the talisman, but he could only try again. Then he put the talisman paper into the fire and burned it.
Soon.
The handwriting pattern on the talisman paper became distorted again, gradually separated from the paper, rolled in mid-air and appeared, with the tendency of condensing into talisman types.
Xu Dao stared and found that the pattern produced from the talisman was much more solid this time, and he was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
In a few breaths, the word "Taiyin" quietly emerged and solidified...
