Drawing talismans and refining objects are the most common things in Taoism. They are not only easy to use but also easy to carry.
The most common things people see in the world are runes and talismans. Many people believe that runes and talismans can drive away evil spirits, cure diseases and save people.
A piece of yellow paper, grind cinnabar into ink, or write, or outline a pattern. After the painting is completed, there are many ways to use it. Some are burned, some are dissolved in water and drank, some are folded and worn on the body, and some are used. Adhered to the wall or window
Always, just use it however you want.
Anyway, when ordinary people use these things, they are basically just a half-entry, or they have psychological effects.
But in fact, this thing is very different.
Runes are of course the best thing to make. Not to mention yellow paper, you can just write them on the wall, on your hands, or on your clothes. Runes are usually injected with spiritual energy when writing words, and use the power of the words themselves to create It has the effect of soothing people's hearts and calming spirits.
For example, for girls, the most commonly used rune is "安", and the Baozi cover is for protection. For boys, the most commonly used rune is "子". If a person's energy is scattered, he can use "Ju", "Zhen", "Lian", etc.
Also, when suppressing some evil spirits or using drugs, "Suppression" will be written on the opening of the seal.
The production and use of talismans are much more demanding and particular.
Talismans are actually equivalent to depicting a formation. Whether it is large or small, it is still a formation.
This is not just about drawing on paper. Neat writing is the first criterion. There are also many requirements for rune materials, such as paper. The longer it lasts, the better. For the infusion of spiritual energy, the better the fluidity, the better the quality. high.
Cinnabar is not just ordinary cinnabar, but requires a lot of scarce jade powder, medicinal materials, and even animal blood.
The strokes must be written with a spirit to create the talisman courage, and the aura must be contained enough to ensure the effect.
Of course, the biggest difference in the usage of runes and talismans is that runes can be used by anyone. Even a three-year-old child can wear a piece of rune paper to provide proper protection.
And talismans are basically used for fighting. Either throw it out as a bomb, use it as a trap, or make a formation to defend a place, etc. Ordinary people may suffer great harm if they accidentally encounter it, let alone use it.
Generally in rural areas, there will be some wandering Taoists, who will tell themselves how many generations of Taoists they are, or brag that they are practitioners of both Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. They will tell ordinary people's fortunes, or make formations, or Improve the layout of the house.
It's all nonsense
Look at them, chatting, looking for a piece of yellow paper, and simply drawing a talisman. Not to mention all the twists and turns, the materials used are the most common yellow paper and cinnabar, how can that be of any use? .
But just like that, he is still regarded as a god by his boss's surname, which is really incredible.
This is what many old sayings say, if you draw a talisman but fail to draw the orifice, it will make the ghosts and gods laugh. If you draw a talisman but do not draw the orifice, it will make the ghosts and gods scream in surprise.
Why do you say that? That's because even ghosts and spirits are conscious and intelligent. You can't treat them as fools, right? When someone dies, he or she returns to death. It’s not like he or she has become a vegetable or a plant ghost. You can do whatever you want with it?
Even if you don’t talk about ghosts, when you go to the supermarket to buy things, you either scan the code to pay or give money. You can only buy things with real money, right?
If you take a random drawing of fake money or a fake QR code and scan it to the boss, no matter how serious you are, even if you are wearing a suit and leather shoes, it will still be a joke, okay? Don't talk about the boss, other things to buy People will also be laughed to death by you.
Where are the ghosts? You look dignified and serious, hold a talisman respectfully, crookedly like a child's graffiti, and then use it to scare ghosts or throw it to the other party...
Stupid or not? Are you stunned? Two or two?
There are also talismans, which can be drawn in advance and carried with you, but they must be packed in special containers to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking. One is to affect the effect, and the other is to prevent harm to ordinary people.
This will be more convenient if you encounter an unexpected situation or if someone is in need, you can take it out and use it directly.
It’s just that the scope of application will be relatively limited. Because talismans, if you want to achieve the best effect, generally need to be adjusted according to the time, place, environment, the situation you need to face, and the person using it. Make adjustments, additions and subtractions to the details of the sketch.
So in fact, the actual talismans used will be slightly different for each one.
Otherwise, a lot of embarrassing things will happen. You can't just draw the talisman for several days and only discover it when something happens or you arrive somewhere.
Why? No, I can’t use this one. It’s raining today and I’m holding a fire talisman array. Wouldn’t that be too embarrassing and embarrassing?
Most of the time, those people want to save face. Since they can't redraw the talisman in front of everyone, they can only make do with it and wait for luck to work.
With good luck, I solved the problem and was praised by others. I have done a lot of good deeds, so I smiled, bowed to everyone, and said, "You're welcome. It is my duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao." Then I collected my money and left with peace of mind. .
What if it has no effect? As he was beating, he pretended to shout, "The monster is so powerful. Even if I die here today, I will eradicate you as a scourge for the people!!!"
Then he pretends to fight for a few rounds. In the end, he really can't beat him, so he just shouts
"Don't be so rampant, you monster. I'll take a break after I recover, and then I'll fight you to the death." Then he hurried back to prepare things again.
It’s just that, either the boss is stupid, seeing how hard he works and how determined he is, he is willing to die to help everyone solve their problems. Not only is there no joke or dissatisfaction, but he feels that he is really working hard, and in the end he pays more?
How can this be reasonable?
Then there were some thieves who gradually learned this routine. Whenever something happened, they would just use their hands and feet and say, "This is not going to be easy. I'll be more prepared when I get back..."
It takes three years to learn well and three days to learn bad...
Then, you can often see some Taoists or monks who eliminate demons and protect the Tao. As long as they feel that the person asking for help is incompetent, even the simplest things will be complicated. Ghosts or monsters that can be easily solved with a talisman can also be solved. It takes dozens of rounds of fighting, a day and a night, and a few mouthfuls of blood to get rid of the troublemaker, so as to win sympathy and praise, and get more rewards.
It really fits that sentence, there is no absolute black and white in the world. It is not easy to learn well, but once bad learning slips away, the identity of a Taoist priest, after being harmed by those who make a fortune, gradually loses the support of the people, like a rat crossing the street, everyone screams for beatings.
When it comes to drawing talismans, if you want to achieve the best effect, you need to adjust the characterization of the talisman adaptively according to the time, place, environment, and things. The thickness of the lines, the degree of spiritual energy infusion, etc., must be drawn individually. It needs to be produced on-site every time to be effective.
But if something is urgent and you don't have time to draw, and you can't sit still and wait for death, then you can only choose to use basic talismans or formations to buy yourself time to escape.
Or, choose to use spiritual weapons, which are weapons that have been refined in advance, which solves the problems of efficiency and self-protection to a great extent.
Refining means refining a weapon to deal with ghosts and evil spirits. Having a handy weapon is like having a good gun in the army. It is definitely a different situation.
Ghosts are most afraid of peach wood, jujube wood or lightning-strike wood. Monsters are most afraid of fine iron, especially weapons made from meteorites. The most effective way to protect yourself is jade, and the best way to suppress it is to use high-density boulders.
Ancient Taoist priests basically used whisks and swords. After all, they looked full of fairy spirit and were convenient to use. Although there are other commonly used utensils, the relative proportion is still much smaller.
But Yu Peng cannot do that. Yu Peng lives in modern times. If he carries a sword on his back every day or inserts a bamboo flute around his waist...
Either everyone thinks he is a cosplayer, or he is acting cool and handsome, or he thinks this child is mentally abnormal, or he is joking. They will ask, which mental hospital did you run out of?
For a while, after returning from school in the evening, Yu Peng had been trying to refine some spiritual weapons that he carried with him under the guidance of Taoist Luo Zhen.
Pendants that gather spiritual energy are the best to refine. Not only is the structure simple, it is also easy to operate.
This type of pendant is usually in the shape of a drop or a gourd. Good jade or trees with good spirit-gathering effects can be used for refining, and they are the most commonly used materials.
By carving a spirit-guiding array or a spirit-gathering array on the utensil, through the narrow mouth channel at the upper end, the surrounding spiritual energy is absorbed and stored. After the spiritual energy is fully stored, it will be evenly dispersed outward through the narrow mouth. At this time, you can give People wear and use it.
The continuously emitted spiritual energy can help ordinary people replenish their energy and spirit, reduce the incidence of diseases, and keep them in a good mental state.
Some people will also make square or round Tai Ping Wu Shi tiles, or make them into zodiac signs, animals, etc. There are no fixed standards and requirements for this, but in terms of the shape of the objects, water drop-shaped and gourd-shaped jades are the most popular ones. It is good for storing spiritual energy and restraining the escape of spiritual energy.
Other forms of spiritual weapons are not easy to control in terms of storing and emitting spiritual energy. Moreover, it requires frequent infusion of spiritual energy to maintain its function and effectiveness, which seems a bit troublesome.
It's like boiling water to pour tea. A basin, bucket, or iron box can be used, but the most convenient and practical one is to use a kettle.
Spiritual tools to exorcise evil and avoid ghosts are much more complicated. They need to inject the spiritual power of the maker into the tool, which is often called the idea. The idea forms a spiritual magnetic field with a natural frequency. When amplified, it is the main factor that prevents ghosts from approaching. .
If the thought you leave in the artifact is "Do not disturb the living soul", then it will be difficult for strange ghosts with no blood relationship to get close to it. Once it gets close, the spiritual power emitted by the spiritual weapon will push it away.
But the ghosts of your relatives can still come close to you through dreams or protective measures.
If your intention when it comes to the artifact is "get out of here", then no matter whether it is a ghost related by blood or a strange ghost, it will not be able to enter this range. But the bad thing about this spiritual artifact is that you can block other ghosts. Ghosts are evil and don’t come near
But you can't prevent the other party from swearing outside the range.
Are you really a ghost who doesn't know how to curse?
More advanced protective spiritual weapons can not only nourish the body and soul of the wearer, but can also warm and nourish the ghosts related to the blood. They can also form a spiritual energy for the wearer when encountering some sudden threats or injuries. The shields resist disasters, and some can even convey distress messages to the creator or the recipient of the message bound to the frequency.
There are also offensive spiritual weapons. There are many types of these. They can be said to be all-inclusive. They have targeted effects in dealing with various evil spirits, demons, etc., but in the final analysis, they are divided into two kind.
One is one that can be used continuously and does not need to explode, and the other is one that can output but can also be used as a bomb when needed.
Moreover, as long as the spiritual weapon is a living person, there are also many requirements for the wearer.
For example, the wearer must first acknowledge the maker in his heart, and cannot say good things with his mouth but curse in his heart.
People's inner thoughts are also conscious thoughts. When thoughts rotate in the brain, corresponding magnetic field reactions will occur. The result is that this spiritual weapon is supposed to protect the wearer, but it treats the wearer's thoughts as evil thoughts to eliminate them.
It might break the wearer's spirit.
In addition, the wearer's inner recognition of the person who made the spiritual weapon will also have a certain impact on the effectiveness of the spiritual weapon.
After all, if there is a concerted effort to cooperate, if one party is holding back or distrusting, it is hard to say what the result will be.
Yu Peng is still young and can still try to make ordinary spiritual weapons. However, with Yu Peng's current ability and spiritual proficiency, he cannot smoothly make advanced protective spiritual weapons and offensive spiritual weapons. come out.
After trying it a few times and breaking the fine jade, I no longer dare to try it casually.
