Fu Dao is so broad and profound that even a master of Taoism who has been immersed in it for many years, let alone Chu Chen, would not dare to say that he has a thorough understanding.
Chu Chen was new to the talismans, so there were naturally many things he didn't understand.
But, he didn't want to hide his clumsiness.
In Master's eyes, he should be "talented".
In this case, there is no harm in showing your talent appropriately.
"I work hard every day on the basic skills of calligraphy. I study hard and practice hard, and I have some experience."
"oh?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping had a calm expression on his face, but he was actually interested in his heart.
He also understood that this disciple was calm and humble, not a boastful person.
The little ghost boy who was "smelling" the delicious food and "satisfying his hunger" also responded in a timely manner, shining brightly on the "wingman team".
"Master, senior brother practices very hard on weekdays. We have used up all the yellow talisman papers at home. Today, senior brother left office early, and we also went to the street to buy some talisman papers and cinnabar."
"Hmm~"
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly after listening to the little ghost boy's words, feeling quite satisfied.
He was quite satisfied with this disciple he picked up along the way.
Regardless of temperament or Taoist aptitude, he is the best choice.
Taoist priest Xu Ping was a reserved person. Even if he was satisfied, he rarely showed it. He just nodded lightly and opened his mouth to test Chu Chen.
"Then let me ask you, how to write a spiritual talisman?"
Chu Chen fell into thinking. This question was big and not easy to answer.
These days, no matter how late he leaves office, Taoist Master Xu Ping will spare some time every day to teach the art of talismans.
What Taoist Xu Ping talks about every time is quite fragmented, straight to the point, and every word is precise.
However, the Taoist priest has never seriously talked about the whole process of writing amulets.
Chu Chen needed to sort out the bits and pieces of what he had learned in the past, clarify the context, and then summarize it.
It seems simple, but in fact it shows the most basic skills.
How he has learned during this period and how successful he is in the art of talismans can be known at a glance.
Chu Chen pondered for a while, finished drafting, and then spoke:
"Each spiritual talisman can be divided into three parts, namely the talisman head, the talisman foot, and the talisman belly."
Taoist Xu Ping nodded slightly.
"The talisman head is also called the talisman base. There are three hooks on the talisman head, which represent the Three Purities. The three hooks below the edict represent the city god, the land, and the ancestor. Each family has different talisman heads, such as praying for rain, praying for fire, and The character "rain" is the talisman head. There are many kinds of talisman heads, so use them as appropriate."
The Taoist priest continued to nod.
"Let's talk about the foot of the talisman. The foot of the talisman and the head of the talisman are of the same origin. What prefix is used for the head of the talisman? The foot of the talisman also has the corresponding prefix. In addition, the foot of the talisman is quite important. The strength of the divine power in the talisman all depends on the ending. Therefore, the foot of the talisman must be written Concentrate your mind, use your strength to cut off the red ink, and your spirit will be in harmony."
The Taoist priest still just nodded.
"The last thing is the belly of the talisman. The belly of the talisman is the key to the spiritual talisman. Just like the human internal organs, whether the spiritual talisman has divine power depends entirely on the belly of the talisman."
"The belly of the talisman is also called the talisman's orifice and talisman's gallbladder."
"The so-called aperture is an orifice in the profound entrance. The great creation of heaven and earth is always in one orifice. If a person can know this orifice, all methods can always be accessed. If you don't know the orifice of writing talismans, you will make ghosts and gods laugh. If you know the orifice of writing talismans, you will be shocked. The ghosts and gods call..."
Chu Chen talked eloquently and talked about the knowledge he had learned these days.
Taoist Xu Ping nodded repeatedly, feeling quite satisfied.
He has talked about this all the time, and occasionally mentioned it, but it is very difficult to be able to summarize it yourself and say it clearly and coherently.
I have to say that the apprentice studied hard.
Taoist priest Xu Ping continues to take exams:
"Then what are these talisman orifices and talisman gallbladders? How can they be written on yellow paper?"
Chu Chen responded fluently and spat out:
"This orifice is an extraordinary orifice, the universe and the earth are combined together."
"The talisman is the true faith of heaven and earth. If you want to write a spiritual talisman, you must use my essence to combine with the essence of all things in heaven and earth. With my spirit, combine with the gods of heaven and earth. Paper can perform thousands of ways!"
"good!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping gave a rare compliment.
The little ghost on the side was quite surprised when he heard this. The master rarely praised people in person. For example, he was so pitiful. He never praised him once, but only disliked him.
Seeing that his master was very happy, Chu Chen had an idea and asked for advice on how to write the "Tiger Transformation Talisman".
He has learned this "Tiger Transformation Talisman" from the Heart Temple and has firmly mastered it.
But, this is far beyond the scope of ordinary geniuses, it is too abrupt.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, you still have to go through the process of asking your teacher.
After consulting the master and mastering it, everything will fall into place, and the "monastic genius" character will no longer run away.
"Haha, I guessed it."
Taoist Master Xu Ping rarely showed a smile: "I knew you would ask for advice on the magic of [Blowing Hair to Become a Tiger]."
After dinner,
The two of them first took a bath to purify themselves, and then went to the altar of the pure room together.
Taoist Master Xu Ping gave a detailed explanation of the key points of practicing the magic "Blowing Hair into a Tiger", the key points of altar sacrifice, the keys to the "Tiger Transformation Talisman", etc., and then left.
"Little devil, help senior brother cut the paper tiger."
"Okay, senior brother!"
Chu Chen sent away the little devil, then went to the altar and tried to write the "Tiger Transformation Talisman".
Calm down your mind and gather your energy.
Visualize the majesty of the altar, and the sky is filled with thunder and fire, burning all over your body.
"Liujia Yangshen, come and serve me."
"Liu Ding Yin Shen, come and serve me."
"The Four Direct Masters, come and serve me."
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
Chu Chen concentrated his mind and thought about the arrival of the Six Ding Liujia gods and gathered at the altar.
Then, he stared at the cinnabar in the cup with wide eyes, recited a secret mantra, took a breath of oriental air, blew on the cinnabar, and burned the cinnabar with incense.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen held the writing brush, visualized the writing brush turning into a divine sword, and cursed:
"The magic pen is spirited, the calligraphy talisman sends the spirit, pointing out the life of people, pointing out the death of ghosts and ghosts, as urgent as laws and orders."
Then, he dipped his hands in ink again and cursed:
"The divine ink is spirited, changing the dead and injecting life, the magical pen is enlightening, all ghosts are extinguished, all things flourish, and the rush is like a law!"
After making a series of preparations, Chu Chen pinched the Tiger Talisman with his hand, stepped on the "Yinwu", and began to write the "Tiger Transformation Talisman".
The most important thing about Shuling Talisman is the "talisman aperture".
Chu Chen visualized the black tiger transformed by Deng Tiejian, focusing on the paper, quickly cutting the talismans, and finished it in one go.
A "Tiger Transformation Talisman" was written.
"It's done."
A faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face. With the inheritance from the Heart Temple and the explanation from the master, the whole process of writing the talisman was quite smooth.
"Senior brother, I cut the dead man's cover paper into a paper tiger. Take a look."
Chu Chen was dumbfounded when he saw it.
The paper tiger does have a look and feel, but its shape is chubby and plump, which makes it really cute.
Good guy, I want a fierce tiger, not a fat tiger.
Chu Chen lamented in his heart.
But, he didn't care.
The paper tiger is a side detail, so don’t worry about it.
Next, he took the black tiger hair.
Needless to say, it came from the black tiger transformed by Deng Tiejian.
He collected some, and his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, also helped him get some.
Next, Chu Chen began to sacrifice "tiger hair".
He stepped on the word "Yin Wu", pinched the Tiger Technique with both hands, took a breath of Eastern Qi, burned the "Tiger Transformation Talisman", and recited the Tiger Transformation Mantra seven times:
"Reborn, change misfortunes into auspiciousness, follow me as I should, stay by my side, let it go with great power, take it in and hide it. I follow the law of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou to take pictures!"
Chu Chen visualized the temple of the heart and sacrificed tiger hair.
Half an hour later, the "Tiger Transformation Talisman" and "Paper Tiger" all disappeared.
Only a handful of tiger hair exudes gleaming glory.
Each of these tiger hairs can transform into a tiger.
The power of the transformed tiger is linked to Chu Chen's cultivation.
The stronger his cultivation is, the more magical the tiger becomes.
