When I heard that a courier had arrived, my first thought was that my magic weapon token had arrived!
I quickly got up to pick it up, and when I opened it, I saw that it was tightly wrapped inside. After peeling off the layers, there was indeed a token inside!
Now that I think about it, it was great at that time. At least the express delivery was delivered to your door, so you didn’t have to go downstairs to get it yourself...
I took the token and showed it to them excitedly.
Uncle Ma walked over slowly, took the token, looked at it twice, nodded and smiled: "This is very good, it looks like a serious thing at first glance, the best lightning strike jujube wood, senior brother has also been careful, carving it for you like this Too many taboo words.”
To be honest, I don't recognize this token. It's quite similar to the one I received, but not exactly the same.
There are indeed many taboo words engraved on it, but I don’t recognize most of them.
Let me briefly tell you about this Taoist taboo.
The original meaning of the word "taboo" is to avoid scruples. In ancient times, if the names of emperors or some dignitaries could not be written directly, they would be avoided by changing the words, blank words, missing pens, etc., so it was called taboo.
In Taoist belief, gods also have special taboos, because gods are also respected persons and cannot call people by their first names.
This taboo word is an important part of Chinese Taoist cultural knowledge, also called secret taboo. It is an important part of Taoist culture. Together with the token and the seal, it is called the three treasures of Taoist culture.
The taboo character is the code name of the immortal in the Taoist immortal genealogy. It can also be called the symbol of the immortal. It is usually only the word without the sound, which can be written but not read.
Among them, Ziwei taboo is the most commonly used and well-known taboo word. Let's take this as an example.
Ziwei Tao is the taboo name of Emperor Ziwei. His full name is Ziwei Taihuang Taihuang, one of the four emperors of Taoism. He controls the latitude and longitude of the sky, directs the sun, moon, stars, gods of mountains and rivers, and the four seasons of solar terms and other natural phenomena. He can call for wind and rain, and control thunder, lightning, ghosts and gods.
There are many ways to write Ziwei taboo. Generally speaking, the most commonly used one is Shangyu and Xiaqi, which is a combination of the word "Yu" for cloud head and the word "軻" for ghost foot. It has the functions of Ziwei emperor.
Ziwei taboo is equivalent to the message from Emperor Ziwei. It means that Emperor Ziwei is coming in person, and all the elves and ghosts will avoid it.
Many people have some understanding of Taoist culture and know that many Taoist secrets start with the word "rain". Why is this?
Because in Chinese characters, the words prefixed with rain are mostly related to weather, nature, and astronomy, such as: snow, thunder, frost, fog, hail, etc.
The ancients worshiped nature, and the shamanistic culture of ancient ancestors ascribed divinity to these natural phenomena. Taoism also inherited this feature. In order to avoid taboo names for gods and show respect, they used the prefix "rain" plus a combination of words. method expressed.
Therefore, the prefix "rain" means the sky and celestial phenomena.
The word "軻" under Ziwei also has a meaning.
As the saying goes, people are afraid of death and ghosts. Ghosts are dead, and ghosts are afraid of them.
Therefore, there is a saying in ancient times that if you write the word "軻" and stick it on the door, all sneaky things will be far away, and it has the function of exorcising evil spirits.
This "軻" itself has this power, so adding the prefix "rain" makes it even more powerful.
Some people may be curious, can one word be so powerful?
In fact, all words and languages with ancient heritage can communicate with the gods.
There is a certain scientific nature to this, because words and language also have magnetic field effects, which can be explained by metaphysics as the effect of mind power.
Why do we usually say auspicious words and write auspicious words? Everyone likes good fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness, and no one likes to die miserably. When riding in a car, we cannot say "collision", and when riding in a boat, we cannot say "overturn". These are all A manifestation of mental power.
Therefore, everyone must be in awe and not talk nonsense.
Oh, by the way, if there are supernatural events at home and evil spirits always appear, you can get a Ziwei tabi card to wear, which has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and ensuring peace.
At that time, I held this token and looked at it over and over. I liked it very much. Ma Yunfeng also came over to look at it, and then said to me: "This doesn't seem to be the Five Thunder Order. Why don't I see the Five Thunder Tab?"
I shook my head: "I didn't see it either. I only know Sanqingba and Ziweiba here. What are the others?"
I really can’t recognize all these taboo words. When Uncle Ma taught me, I spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Qi Men Dun Jia gave me a headache just looking at it, let alone asking me to recognize a lot of useless taboo words. .
Because I am not a Taoist, these are of little use to me. I just need to know a few.
Uncle Ma glanced at me: "Damn it, why didn't you study hard in the first place? There are no Five Thunder Tabs on it, but you can't see this big Lei Zu taboo?"
My eyes widened: "Ah...it seems to be true. Blame me. Blame me. I was dazzled and didn't see clearly."
Lei Zu is the Heavenly Lord who is universalized by the sound of thunder from the Nine Heavens. He has the taboo word of his old man, so why should he use the five thunder taboos?
Uncle Ma exposed me mercilessly: "What didn't you see clearly? You just forgot. Let me tell you, your token is amazing. The three taboos above are the taboo of the Jade Emperor, taboo of the Emperor of Heaven, taboo of the Earthly Emperor, taboo of Ziwei, taboo of Lei Zu, and taboo of Beidou." The seven-star taboo, the six-star taboo of the Southern Dipper, the taboo of the five mountains, the taboo of the sun, the taboo of the taiyin... there are many other taboos, you are just making an order from the emperor!"
I was shocked, this, this, this...sounded like it was more powerful than the Five Thunder Orders?
But I didn’t understand what the Emperor’s Order was for. I just thought it was pretty awesome. I looked at it over and over again and asked Uncle Ma: “Can I use this precious magic weapon?”
Uncle Ma said: "That's a good question. Normally you can't use it, so when I told my senior brother, I only asked him to carve one side of the Five Thunder Order. I don't know why he carved one side for you, which is more powerful. The Emperor’s Order, but that’s not important. Since he carved this for you, it means you have this opportunity.”
Ma Yunfeng also said: "That's right. Besides, the order you received was given to you by the gods. It proves that you have the ability to control this order. It was approved by God. What are you worried about?"
I looked at the emperor's order in my hand with joy, and thought to myself, haha, the general altar has been recognized by heaven, and Mr. Hu San has long been a god above, with official status, so the order given to me by the general altar is equivalent to God has given permission.
However, I still prefer the name of the Five Thunder Orders of Divine Fire, so I sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the token in my hand, and started to visualize.
Although this token was carved from jujube wood struck by lightning and had been blessed by consecration, it is a mortal thing after all. It will definitely be no problem against ordinary evil spirits, but it will definitely be a bit difficult to deal with Liu Laosan.
So now, I first need to integrate the five thunder tokens of the main altar into it. By then, the spiritual power of this token will increase slowly, and then it will be completely awesome!
