I also tried pricking my middle finger with a needle, and the seven little paper figures were stained with my own finger blood.
Mrs. Chen asked me to write my name on paper. She said it was for easy identification, so I made a total of nine paper figures.
Grandma Chen said that today happens to be the third day of the third month of the yang year, so you can make paper figurines with souls. At that time, a total of 7,749 paper figurines will be placed under the incense burner of the altar for blessing. Whose paper figurine was successfully blessed?
, then who will belong to this soul-possessed paper man?
I handed the paper figure to Mrs. Chen and came to the master's side. At this time, the master was solemnly holding a brush and drawing talismans on the table.
This time he used ink to draw the talisman instead of cinnabar, and the paper was the same yellow paper as before.
"Boy, look carefully. Every talisman has at least three parts. The talisman head, the talisman bladder and the talisman foot. The talisman head is the main symbol to identify the school. The talismans used by different schools often have different talisman heads.
Generally, there are Sanqing talisman heads, Maoshan talisman heads and Liuren talisman heads. The Sanqing talisman head starts with three hooks, indicating respect for the Three Pure Ones. The Mao San School also mainly respects the Three Pure Ones, but there are slight differences in the starting strokes. The three strokes of the Maoshan School
The hook is more slender."
"In fact, the ones that have been handed down to this day are mostly folk sects, which are likely to incorporate spells from various schools. Even our master agrees with this. When his master was still alive, he also knew the Liuren method.
Master also knows a little bit about some of the talismans in the Meishan Sect and even some of the Buddhist practices. So, strictly speaking, we should be the folk Maoshan Sect."
After the master finished speaking, he made a stroke on the paper with a brush and said something in his mouth: "One stroke moves the world, two strokes the ancestor's sword, three strokes the evil spirit moves thousands of miles away."
When the master finished speaking, a slight drop of sweat broke out on his forehead.
It can be seen that when he painted these three strokes, he concentrated all his strength.
"When drawing a talisman, you must gather all your strength, recite the mantra while drawing and visualize it, and attach the essence of your body to the talisman paper. Only in this way can the power of the talisman drawn be shown. This is why it is so important to practice Taoism.
The reason why people should practice Qigong is because people who practice Qigong tend to have stronger thoughts than ordinary people, and the talismans they draw are also more powerful. There are many types of talismans of the Maoshan Sect, and their usage varies greatly. These masters will not be slow in the future.
I’ll teach you slowly.”
After the master finished speaking, a talisman was finished. Finally, he suddenly picked up his pen and sketched the foot of the talisman. This talisman was really powerful.
"That's right! Master's drawing of this talisman is very impressive." I praised it from the bottom of my heart.
The master shook his head and said: "What does it mean to be good? It can only be considered average. Drawing amulets is a very serious matter. You must burn incense, purify your body, purify your heart, purify your mouth, and purify your mind. Theoretically, you should choose the ones drawn at Zi hour and Noon hour.
The talisman is the most spiritual. Because the Zi hour and the noon hour are when the Yang and Yin of the heaven and earth are in harmony, and they are very spiritual at that time, which is consistent with the magnetic field information of the way of heaven, and the talismans drawn are often more powerful."
"However, Master doesn't have that much time anymore. He can only draw it first. I think it will take until two o'clock at noon to finish drawing the talisman to be used tonight."
Hearing what Master said, I felt very sad. Thinking about it, it was not easy for Master to draw a talisman. But I kept causing trouble for him.
That being said, some questions in my heart are still unresolved, so I still have to trouble him.
I smiled and asked Master: "Master, the talisman you drew last time was made of cinnabar, why did the talisman you drew this time only use ink?"
The master sighed helplessly and said: "Oh! I have almost used cinnabar, so I asked Lao Yuan to buy it for me. The materials used to draw talismans are very particular, and cinnabar is usually used. Because cinnabar is the same color as human blood,
It has a certain effect of avoiding evil and suppressing evil. Ghosts do not have blood and energy, and they are often afraid of human blood and energy, so cinnabar is the first choice for drawing talismans. When there is no cinnabar, ink is considered, and the effect is slightly less. But in the end the power of the talisman
It still depends on the spiritual power of the person who draws the talisman."
As the master spoke, he suddenly closed his mouth again and began to draw the second talisman.
After finishing the painting, he took out a seal from the cloth bag on his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, and stamped it on the talisman.
"This is called sealing. Some talismans need to be stamped, especially those that are not drawn with cinnabar. Only after they are stamped can they have spiritual power and can communicate with the gods in heaven. Quickly, burn this talisman.
Now, swallow it with water. This talisman is called a requiem talisman. Your soul is not stable now. Eating this requiem talisman can help you requiem."
After saying that, the master brought another bowl of water, then took the requiem talisman and burned it in front of me. The ashes of the talisman fell into the water, and finally asked me to swallow the talisman.
Master told me that this is one of the seven major uses of talismans, called the Talisman Swallowing Method. This usage is generally used to treat diseases.
"What are the other six uses?" I asked curiously.
"The other six types are: wearing amulets, washing amulets, placing amulets, burying amulets, decoction amulets, and affixing amulets. I will teach you slowly when I have time later. You go take a bath first. I am going to let you know at noon.
You draw two talismans yourself, it's time to teach you some real skills."
Master winked at me and said.
I had no choice but to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I watched Master draw the talisman for a while, and before I knew it, it was 11 o'clock at noon. Master looked at the time and said "Okay!"
He then called me to the altar that had been set up long ago.
Master asked me to offer a cup of tea in the incense burner of the altar, put three sticks of incense on it, kowtowed three times, and then knelt in front of the altar to look at the statue of Master in silence and recall the image of my master, Uncle Yu.
I meditated for five minutes before Master asked me to get up and then taught me to draw the talisman seriously.
He said that it is best to draw the talisman in one go and without any confusion.
I followed Master's instructions and drew a talisman while holding my breath.
It was a very simple symbol. I just wrote the word "囧" on the paper and then made three circles around it.
After the master saw that I had finished the painting in one go, he stamped a seal on it. The master said that this was the seal of Master Xia Maoshan. There are many kinds of seals, including the Five Thunder Seal, the Celestial Master Seal, etc. He would teach me more when I have time.
I.
Seeing myself finishing it in one go and having the seal stamped on it, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.
I asked Master if this talisman could be used to catch ghosts.
The master smiled and said that this is just the simplest and most practical "Nine Dragons Transform into Water 'Swallow'" character. He said that as long as the talisman is burned in a bowl, the fish bones stuck in the throat can be melted.
.
After listening to Master's words, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, thinking that this talisman was too simple.
Master probably saw what I was thinking, so he smiled and said to me, "Although this talisman is just a small talisman, it is actually quite powerful once you practice it. In the past, some acrobats could swallow chopsticks with their mouths.
The 'Nine Dragons Transform into Water Curse' is a widely circulated spell among the Meishan sect, and is rarely used by Maoshan disciples. However, there is no harm in learning it."
Hearing this, I felt a little happy again. I thought, if I learn this thing, I will be able to swallow chopsticks in the future. If it is a class reunion or something, it will be very cool to show off!
As soon as I thought this, Master's next words severely affected my self-confidence.
He said that the "Nine Dragons Transforming Water Curse" is not effective even if you can draw the talisman. You still need to learn the spell and use it in conjunction with the spell.
So, I asked Master again how to recite the mantra.
Master told me the spell on the spot.
"Listen carefully, the incantation for Nine Dragons to turn into water is very simple. You can memorize it in one minute.' Look at the blue sky with your eyes. The master is by your side. In the three bowls of nine dragons, the apprentice is using Qigong. I follow the order of the Supreme Lord.
swallow!"
While Master was teaching me how to chant, he picked up the bowl and made a gesture of swallowing water.
I thought he really wanted to demonstrate it to me, but he put the bowl down, smiled and explained to me: "Today, I just teach you the Maoshan method, one of the thirty-six small spells, which can be used to introduce the door."
Right! However, I want to tell you that learning the spell is not something that happens overnight. Even if you can recite the Nine Dragons Water Transformation Spell now, you still can't transform fish bones or chopsticks."
"Then what should I do to achieve the purpose of turning into chopsticks?" I asked.
"This requires your ability to observe the teacher's silent image. Only when you have reached a certain level, chanting the mantra will be useful. Therefore, you must practice the mantra well. In fact, you need to practice the visualization in Qigong first. And you must strictly observe the precepts.
, do not eat three kinds of meat, beef, snake meat and dog meat. Vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Do three things in daily life: clean mouth, clean body, and clean mind. That is, don’t curse others, don’t commit sexual misconduct, don’t steal, don’t think wildly, draw it like this
The talisman produced will have great power."
Master said so much in one breath, it made me feel that the Maoshan magic is getting more and more difficult. To recite a mantra, you have to practice Qigong well. What is this?
However, what Mrs. Chen said next made me feel pleasantly surprised.
Mrs. Chen stood up and knelt down in front of the altar three times, then placed the paper figures under the incense burner, and then chanted aloud.
After a while, she stood up again, took down the pile of small paper figures from under the incense burner, and then looked at them one by one.
Finally, she took one of the small paper figures and shouted happily: "Qiao Yang! Come here quickly. Your soul-possessed paper figure has been blessed by the master. Here! Did you see this paper figure?
A small hole was burnt in the Dantian area, which was burned by the falling incense ash, which means that the master nodded and approved that your soul consciousness is attached to this paper, and the master will use his magic power to protect you."
I took a closer look and saw that something had really burned a small hole in the paper man.
"No, you just put these paper figures under the incense burner. How could the incense ashes burn them? Impossible!" I asked Granny Chen suspiciously.
At this time, Lian Xiaoru came over. She patted me lightly on the shoulder and explained with a smile: "Just because it's impossible, it means this is Master's blessing!"
"Yes!" These words suddenly made me realize.
As a result, Mrs. Chen scolded me and my master. She said that I was just like my master, both ignorant and not as smart as her apprentice Xiaoru.
These words made the master so angry that he started to argue with Mrs. Chen on the spot. The two argued for a long time before they gave up.
In the end, Mrs. Chen lowered her face and took the initiative to say hello to the master. She went to the master to specifically discuss going to Sankesong in the afternoon.
After a while of discussion, the two finally decided to go to Sankesong at four o'clock in the afternoon. The master said that four o'clock in the afternoon was an auspicious time today and suitable for resolution.
The travel plan was finalized. Uncle Yuan specially chartered a car for us, brought us the magical tools, and prepared to set off.
However, as soon as we went out, my cell phone rang. The beautiful policewoman Lin Min called me and asked me to go to the police station. She said that there was new progress in Zou Li's case and she needed me to confirm some things.
