Zhao Ran first opened "Shangqing Jue", which is a Taoist book that specifically talks about how to inhale and exhale Qi. According to Master Xiao Zhuo's letter, there is no good or bad method. The depth of learning depends on one's nature.
.The so-called good fortune actually means 70% chance and 30% hard work. In other words, even the most basic Taoist skills such as "Shangqing Jue" can be used if the cultivator happens to be suitable and is quite diligent.
Cultivate to the utmost depth and achieve the highest state of harmony.
Zhao Ran glanced at it and knew that this was actually the exercise that Uncle Xiao Zhuo and Dazhuo taught him at Changchong Mountain. However, the blank spaces in the book were densely packed with comments and insights written in small regular script. Zhao Ran
I have to thank the two uncles again for their kindness, but it is a pity that he has no ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cannot practice Qi. To him, this technique is no different from useless paper.
Then I opened "Zhengyi Fufa" and after reading it for a while, I was immediately overjoyed!
The so-called talisman means the combination of Tao and Qi, which is performed in the form of runes. In terms of form, runes can be roughly divided into fuwen, yunzhuan, Lingbao talisman, and talisman. Fuwen is a combination of two or more characters.
Yunzhuan is the changing shape of clouds, and Lingbao talisman is a rune composed of dotted lines. The above runes are added with images of gods to form a talisman diagram.
In terms of efficacy, it is nothing more than exorcising evil and ghosts, summoning gods and generals, eliminating disasters, conquering and killing, etc.
When Zhao Ran was in the Sutra Hall of Wujiyuan, he went down to preside over or participate in fasting rituals many times. He used many talismans, but most of them had no effect. The reason for this is that there is no internal refining method. If you want to refine a
Apart from the materials, the most important thing about Zhang Youfeng's talisman is to inject Qi into the talisman using the method of internal refining. It is said that "the talisman has no formal shape, but is inspired by Qi". It doesn't matter if the talisman is crooked and shapeless, as long as there is Qi injected into it,
It can guide the talisman to work.
There are three levels of inner refining and injecting Qi: Ancestral Qi, Tiangang, and Golden Light. From first to last, each level is more powerful than the last. With the same talisman, if you use the Tiangang territory to refine and inject Qi, its effect is far superior to that of the Ancestral Qi.
If the inner refining realm reaches the golden light level, no matter how ordinary the talisman is, its effect will be extremely powerful.
"Zhengyi Talismans"** contains seventy-two of the most basic and commonly used talismans, divided into nine levels, with eight talismans at each level, corresponding to Taoist priests, Taoist priests, Huang Guan, mage, Taoist masters, and refiners.
, Great Refiner, Real Person, Heavenly Master (Great Real Person) ninth level.
Seeing this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded: Darling, this "Zhengyi Talisman" can actually be used up to the level of Tianshi. Is it so easy for the Taoist sect to allow the highest level spells to spread without any restrictions? In
Doubtful and worrying about gains and losses, Zhao Ran quickly flipped through the last part of the Taoist book. The spark of joy in his heart was extinguished immediately like cold water being poured on his head.
Zhao Ran once again had a deeper understanding of the two characters: talisman and talisman are not the same thing! A talisman is a rune. This is true, but a talisman needs to be taught. If runes are the basis for practicing law,
, then the treasure robe is the qualification for practicing magic. In other words, if you want to refine a talisman, you just need to know the refining method of the rune. You have to find the appropriate materials and complete the writing of the talisman in the correct way.
In the process of writing the talisman, I successfully internally refined Qi. There is no mistake in these steps. Well, do you think this talisman can be used? Then you are totally wrong! If you have not gone through the Taoist talisman ceremony,
If you don't have the talisman position, then the talisman you refine will not take effect!
What is the rank of Lu? The rank of Lu is the level of Taoist monks, that is, the nine levels from Taoist to Tianshi (Great Master). Zhao Ran always thought that this was just an honorary title given to monks by the Taoist sect, or that the Taoist sect
An artificial division of monks' cultivation. It wasn't until today that he realized that it was not that simple.
At first, Zhao Ran had a hard time understanding why a ritual and conferring a talisman position could make the talisman effective, but not vice versa. So he carefully read the full text of "Zhengyi Talisman" from beginning to end again, this time including the annotations.
After reading it, he had a vague understanding. It seems that the Taoist rituals are not just a form, at least this form is real and effective. Through the rituals, it can be compared with the Taoist rituals.
Ancestors and immortals in the heaven communicate in a certain way, thereby giving the communicator some magical power.
He couldn't help but think of the days when he presided over fasting rituals in various places in the county. Looking back now, he couldn't help but feel ashamed - he was really ignorant and fearless at that time.
Well, the problem now is that Zhao Ran doesn't even have the most basic job of "Taoist priest", and the talisman he refined is still useless. With an uneasy mood, Zhao Ran quickly looked back and finally saw a line of annotations
, the ink marks were obviously left recently, Uncle Zhuo said, let Zhao Ran learn to refine the eight first-level talismans first, and when they come back, try to let Zhao Ran participate in the talisman awarding ceremony at Huayun Pavilion. Of course, the premise is that
Zhao Ran must meet the conditions for being awarded the rank of "Taoist".
What conditions can be used to confer the position of "Taoist priest"? Taoist practice pays attention to four major steps, namely, refining Qi to transform, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao. The first step is to practice refinement.
Qi is divided into two steps. When Yuan Jing combines with Qi and turns into light Qi, it can be awarded the Taoist priest's position, or it can be said to enter the Taoist realm. When the essence and Qi turn into the elixir fetus, it can be given the Huang Guanlu's position.
, or called entering the Huangguan realm.
But before that, you must first do a good job in swallowing and absorbing, so that the Qi in the body reaches a certain level, that is, when you feel the swelling of the Qi sea, you have entered the Taoist realm and can be awarded the Taoist priesthood.
What Zhao Ran is practicing now is the "Innate Merit Sutra". Cultivating the power of merit is not about absorbing the Qi from the aura of heaven and earth. He doesn't know if his feelings and situations will be the same as those described in the Taoist cultivation realm. But the "Innate Merit Sutra"
》 also made it very clear that the progress of cultivation is also divided into four major steps: refining energy to transform, refining gas to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao. In this case, Zhao Ran speculated with hope, I hope
Can my own cultivation be consistent with cultivation in the "traditional sense"?
Put the "Zhengyi Fufa" aside and then open the "Utensil Making Manual".
It is also an introductory book on weapon making. There are no big principles to explain, and there are no general tips. It directly lists the refining methods of thirty-six commonly used magic weapons, including swords, seals, rulers,
There are types of handkerchiefs, ropes, sand, nets, bottles, etc. Each type has three or four examples. For example, a flying sword, from material selection to formula, to refining, warming, opening, imprinting into consciousness, etc.
Wait, every link is explained very clearly. There is no refining method for the Five Elements Divine Array that Zhao Ran was given before, but each of the magic weapons can be refined by referring to a certain magic weapon listed in the book.
.
What makes Zhao Ran happy the most is that there is a glossary at the back of the book, which is an explanation of the terms. This time, Zhao Ran finally understood what "half-yin fire" is and what "dragon and tiger complement each other".
From the beginning to the end, there was no suggestion that weapon refining required the profession of Lu, which made Zhao Ran greatly relieved. If weapon refining also required the profession of Lu, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.
Zhao Ran can now study talismans and learn to make utensils, and his life is suddenly enriched. Because of the three permanent aid stations at Yangmayi, Liuzhuangyi and Charity Hall, a fairly stable amount of merit is cultivated every day.
, so I don’t have to worry about these “mundane matters” to lay the foundation for the time being, so next I just start practicing with all my heart.
Zhao Ran threw all the trivial matters in Fangtang to Jiang Zhiheng. He practiced talisman making in the morning, tried to refine magic weapons in the afternoon, and sat quietly in the evening to meditate on the inner breath diagram taught to him by Zhu Qigu to restore the mana consumed during the day. At the same time, he took the time to
Convert the power of merit into your own magic power.
As the leader of Fangtang Hall and Zhao Ran's deputy, Jiang Zhiheng was puzzled by Zhao Ran's behavior. At first, he was directly excluded from Fangtang affairs and almost marginalized, and then suddenly took over all Fangtang affairs.
, regained his "power", and was made uncomfortable and uncomfortable by Zhao Ran during the ups and downs. It was really a world of ice and fire. However, after going through the process of "appealing" to Wujiyuan Supervisor and Sandu and other senior officials, he has already
He really understood Zhao Ran's intimidation power, so he didn't dare to complain. He could only take over Fang Tang's baton again with full of doubts, and worked hard, for fear that Zhao Ran would find his own flaws.
It’s just that his complicated thoughts were completely beyond Zhao Ran’s eyes. Now Zhao Ran has “lofty ambitions” and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the “business” that a monk should do, which can be regarded as opening a new chapter in his Taoist career. (
