The talisman paper that spontaneously ignited in the air was specially issued by the Xizhenwu Palace. It is said to have been made by the Huayun Pavilion. It is the "true talisman" and the most valuable thing among the various magical instruments carried by Zhao Ranjin.
Zhao Ran's wrist trembled, and he performed a cool sword gesture, inserting the mahogany sword behind his back. In order to practice this move, Zhao Ran suffered a lot. In the first month, his ears, back of his head, shoulders, etc. They were all bruised by the mahogany sword. Now it is the first time to use it, and the effect is extraordinary. It can be regarded as a good practice.
Take down the copper bell from the altar, shake the bell, step on the Jiugong Step, and mutter something in your mouth. This is the stage of Bu Gang Step Dou. The so-called Jiugong Step means walking in the four directions, four corners, and the center. There are nine directions in total. The four square directions are Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong, and Duixi. The four even corners are northwest Qian, southwest Kun, southeast Xun, and northeast Gen. The center is Yin and Yang Fish. To put it bluntly, it is the Eight Diagrams plus the palace.
There are many kinds of footwork in the Jiugong Step, but that is a classification of Taoism and martial arts. As for Zhaijiao, only one type is required, that is, the rotation method. Zhao Ran started from the yin and yang fish position in the middle palace and stepped into the first palace, which is the northwest In the Gan position, turn your body right and enter the second palace, which is the due north Kan position, then turn left and enter the northeast Gen position, go down in sequence, and finally return to the middle palace.
Zhao Ran took a step forward in the Nine Palaces, which once again aroused the low voices of Luo's relatives, because his figure turning around was very ornamental. Unfortunately, there was only Zhao Ran here. If the nine people walked together, they would be like butterflies in flowers. , the effect is better!
The correct way should be that all the Taoist priests take their magic weapons and walk together in the nine palaces, and the person in charge of the altar holds the spiritual tablet. But since there is only one person, Zhao Ran needs to complete it separately. He first walks around with the bell and then beats the wooden drum. Walk around, then take the bronze mirror and walk around, finally hold the fly whisk in your arms, hold the Beiyin Fengdu Great Emperor Spirit Tablet in both hands, and walk around again.
Zhao Ran completed all the next steps smoothly. This was the first time that he presided over a religious ceremony alone, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After the fasting ceremony, Zhao Ran packed up the magical instruments and supplies and prepared to go back to the mountain. After listening to Fang Zhihe's gossip, he knew that this Luo Xiang eunuch was quite stingy, and he did not expect to have extra bookkeeping, but he didn't want Luo Xiang eunuch to say that he wanted to leave. He didn't have to worry, he had already held a banquet in the inner hall.
It was not meal time at this time, but Zhao Ran went out early and did not bother to have breakfast. He happened to be hungry at this time and had nothing to do anyway, so he was happy to have a meal.
The meal was very simple, consisting of two meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of millet. Zhao Ran took out his chopsticks and started eating. Luo Xiang's eunuch sat beside him, and the butler was waiting in front of him.
After Zhao Ran finished eating, he saw that Luo Xianghuan was still by his side. He guessed that the other party must have something to say, so he said, "Donor Luo, do you have anything else to discuss? Just ask, but it doesn't hurt to talk."
Luo Xianghuan sighed and said: "Taoist Zhao, it's hard to explain this matter. I wonder if Taoist Zhao can send a message on behalf of Luo after returning to the mountain, asking Jiang Gaogong to come down the mountain?"
"Oh? What happened?"
"There seems to be an evil spirit in my house. I hope Jiang Gaogong will come down the mountain to drive away the evil spirit..." At this moment, Luo Xiang's eunuchs were about to go through the original route.
Three days ago, the grandson of a concubine of the eunuch of Luo Xiang suddenly fell into sleep. He asked a doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. He only said that it was caused by cold and high fever. However, he prescribed medicine and drank it, but it did not improve at all. At that time, the Luo family did not take it seriously. The thing is, this kind of fever syndrome cannot be cured immediately with just one dose of medicinal decoction.
But who would have expected that the child would be dead before he could make it through the night. The Luo family invited the couple to do an autopsy, but they didn't find anything special about it. They just said that it was a sudden death. Such a death method was really unclear, and there was an immediate uproar in the house.
Rumor has it that there is an evil spirit in the house and the child was killed. Therefore, the Luoxiang eunuch was just thinking about asking Jiang Gaogong to perform a ritual to suppress the evil spirit.
Zhao Ran listened to the meaning of Luo Xiang eunuch's words. Whether there was "evil evil spirit" was actually just a guess. Otherwise, Luo Xiang eunuch would have rushed to Wujiyuan to ask someone to do the magic, and he would not be still hesitating now. Jiang Gaogong's ability
Zhao Ran knew very well that if he could memorize the Taoist sutras thoroughly and be familiar with the rituals of fasting and rituals, then that was for sure, but if he could say that he could perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, Zhao Ran could only laugh at it.
Zhao Ran knew that what the Luo Xiang official wanted most was peace of mind, so he pondered for a moment and said: "Donor Luo, I came to Wutang for the first time today. I can see this place of heaven and earth. The green mountains on all sides are beautiful but not steep, and they are stable and unshakable.
This so-called four-image large shape, the clear pond at the bottom of the valley is in the shape of three talents, occupying the key points of heaven, earth and people, and the most important place for Lingjun. I heard that the two young masters in Lord Luo's house have been elected from high school. It must be thanks to Fang Lingjun's gift.
It is not difficult to become a Japanese scholar. How can something evil come from such a beautiful place?"
Luo Xiang's eunuch was stunned for a moment, with a happy expression on his face. He stared at Zhao Ran and asked, "So Taoist Zhao is also good at Feng Shui?" Ten years ago, he returned to his hometown to buy a house. By chance, he invited an unknown gentleman to take a look at it.
Feng shui, that gentleman also said this, so he decided to build a farmhouse here.
Zhao Ran's ability to read Feng Shui is mediocre, but he can read Qi. As long as he enters a state of concentration, he can see the direction of Qi in the things in front of him. To be honest, this should be a more advanced Feng Shui skill.
Zhao Ran knew that for such mysterious and mysterious things, you must first appear confident in yourself before you can inspire others to have confidence in you, so he did not explain it. He stood up with a smile and said: "Please ask Donor Luo to lead the way. I will take a look at this house."
.”
With the housekeeper in front and Luo Xianghuan personally accompanying him, he started looking again from the main entrance of the house. Gradually, a group of Luo family members followed behind him, all wanting to come and witness this strange event with their own eyes.
Zhao Ran's knowledge of Feng Shui is superficial. Although he has memorized a few books, this skill is different from ordinary Taoist books. If you want to study and apply it, you can't just memorize it. Of course, he also knows that the house cannot be "lonely and proud".
He should not "sit Gui to Ding", not "water and fire conflict", and not "live at the mouth of Baichuan". He also knew that "three Yangs should be prosperous", should be "high at the back and low at the front", should be "warm in the southeast", and should be "warm in the southeast".
"Hide the wind and gather the energy". But in reality, how to understand it and how to configure it is by no means as simple as imagined.
To give the simplest example, if a house is due south and north, the apartments will rise and fall. Generally, the direction of the house cannot be arranged. However, if it is a family with strong luck, such as the emperor's house, the direction of the house should be arranged due south and north.
On the contrary, it is a good thing, because the fortune of his family can completely suppress the dangers. Not only will there be no difficult situation, but it can also highlight the majesty of ruling the world. However, ordinary small families cannot stand such a house.
.This is the truth that the way to use lies in one mind.
Zhao Ran's book knowledge is not easy to show off, he doesn't dare to show off, and he doesn't know how to show off, but it does not prevent him from concentrating on looking at the Qi. Looking at the patio, wing, pavilion, and garden everywhere, he can feel the smooth flow of Qi.
He nodded and praised a few words, looking vaguely like a master.
When he came to the back garden, Zhao Ran felt that something was wrong. The Qi of this garden was very strong, and the flow was like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, so that the Qi was always in the garden without leaking out. It should be in the mountains, rocks and waterside pavilions.
He had put a lot of effort into the arrangement. But looking over and over, he always felt that there was something wrong, so he slowed down and moved forward slowly, feeling the past minute by minute.
Walking under the rockery, Zhao Ran finally felt the problem.
The rockery is about ten feet high, close to the water, and built with lake stones. These lake stones are leaky and hollow, and have strange shapes. They must have been specially collected by Luo Xiang officials. The water vapor rises upward and is absorbed by the hollow lake stones, but
The rockery is in the shape of an embrace, blocking the escape of water vapor, forming an excellent situation that does not leak. Zhao Ran used this to verify the description in the book and knew that this was a top-grade Feng Shui layout.
But the problem just happens to be here - in the flower bed between the rockery and the pool, there is a strange flower growing, with nine leaves, more than six petals, and three fruits hanging between the stamens in the middle. This flower extends from the root to the fruit.
, all bright red and translucent, without any variegation, looking extremely gorgeous.
Zhao Ran looked at the flowers attentively, and saw that the stamens exuded strong vitality, which seemed extremely vigorous. It was this Qi that broke the leaky layout of the rockery pool and disturbed the balance, causing the Qi here to suddenly change.
Stagnant, suddenly rapid, and seemingly chaotic.
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "This is it."
Thanks to brother yangzhigang for the reward, and I wish everyone a happy new year!
