"Purple gold talisman?"
Xu Xiake stretched his waist and glanced back inadvertently. The talisman on the stone door was clearly visible.
"Brother Xu, aren't you a Taoist? Why is this talisman different from the yellow talisman?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the talisman seals. These talisman seals were more than twice the size of ordinary yellow talismans. They looked like small flags. They were as long as half an arm and as wide as the mouth of a bowl. The texture of the talisman seals was unusual and closer to fine-grained cloth. , pure purple cover, gold and silver hot edges, with Bagua symbols inlaid on the top and bottom. In the middle, a gold paint pen is used to draw dragons and snakes, and Taoist runes are drawn. Then cinnabar is stamped and gold nails are fixed. The whole door is matched with seven upper and eight lower symbols. The chain makes this door very weird.
Xu Xiake is obsessed with Taoism, and the first sight of this talisman seal was already unusual. He heard from his master that the Taoist talisman seals are divided into five grades, purple, gold, red, blue, and yellow. These orders refer to the talismans. The material of the runes also refers to the spiritual power of the runes.
The purple talisman is the highest. The sky has the Ziwei Yuan in the North, and the people have the Forbidden Palace in the North Pole. Purple, whether in the sky or on the ground, represents the supreme. The uniforms bestowed by the heavenly masters of the past dynasties are pure purple, and the talisman seal is purple, borrowed from it. In fact, it is the power of heaven and the power of heaven and earth to express the talismans and suppress evil.
Yellow paper is much more common. Low-level Taoist priests often use yellow paper to draw talismans. People asking for yellow talismans are similar to asking for Bodhisattva pendants and protective bracelets. They are all about finding a spiritual sustenance when they are unhappy. Even if it really involves killing evil and suppressing evil, they only have It has slight power, just because it is useless and can be used by any Taoist priest. It seems cheap and ordinary.
Xu Xiake took advantage of Yue Guanchao's mention of this matter and explained to everyone: "It means something has been suppressed here!"
"That's not right. The style of this place should be that of a sacrificial hall for the ancestors of the Wu tribe. How come it has Taoist talismans and seals affixed instead? These two things are not from the same era at all. The donkey's head is wrong and the horse's mouth is wrong. It can really be useful. ?"
Song Siyuan understood that there was no Taoism in ancient times, and Huanglao Taoism only appeared in the Han Dynasty. These things must have been added later and were forgeries.
Xu Xiake shook his head, obviously not agreeing with his idea: "Song Qianjin, Taoism was inherited from Huang Lao's learning. It is indeed only more than two thousand years ago, but the history of witchcraft is very long. The witchcraft has been with the ancestors for nearly ten thousand years. , but gradually differentiated with the development of the times, one of them is Taoism."
He paused and his tone became extravagant: "Taoism just completely removes the vicious, bloodthirsty, and cruel things in witchcraft, and then uses Taoism to sort out usable curses and prophecies. To be precise, it refines witchcraft and adds its own To put things in, you are essentially borrowing the power of spiritual cultivation to achieve your own goals, just like dancing. Dance was also a type of witchcraft in ancient times, called witch dance. It was a ritual for worshiping the heavens. Later, it gradually differentiated. , formed an ornamental dance!"
"Witchcraft or Taoism, it's like a prescription for treating a disease. Although the medicines are different, the result is that the medicine cures the disease. Do you understand?"
Xu Xiake's words made everyone nod their heads. Yue Guanchao observed the Fu Zhuan and asked everyone: "Then we are still going in? Since it can be sealed by the Taoist sect, it is obviously left by Li Tangren."
"Of course you have to go in!"
Mrs. Zhang quickly interjected. She looked at Xu Xiake and complimented: "The little Taoist priest is very knowledgeable and talented. Why don't you also show us what the talisman is? If it gets in the way, we can deal with it. I will give you a big thank you after the incident is completed."
The old witch was afraid that Yue Guanchao and the others would back down, so she agreed first. Xu Xiake looked at the current situation and realized that he might not be able to find the Soul Palace if he didn't go in.
He walked into the stone door and approached the talisman. After seeing the seal on the talisman clearly, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What's wrong?"
The little Taoist priest's move frightened the people around him into getting into a posture.
"This talisman seems to have been left behind by Chongxu Guan!"
"Ah?" Yue Guanchao heard this and his heart skipped a beat: "What the hell, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Why is there the mark of Chongxu Temple here?"
"That's right."
Xu Xiake took another step forward and picked up the Forbidden Talisman. The cinnabar seal will not lie.
"Look, the year of this cinnabar seal is the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and there is also the name of the first Chongxu Celestial Master Ziyuan Zhenren, which shows that it is indeed true!"
Song Siyuan looked carefully at the place pointed by the little Taoist priest. There were indeed traditional seal characters clearly appearing, but it was a bit blurry for too long and a few lines were broken.
"I didn't expect that the Dao Seal of Chongxu Guan would actually appear here!"
Xu Xiake only thought that Chongxu Temple was the Northwest Celestial Master Temple, and never thought that the Taoist temple was also mixed with the Ancestral Soul Palace. Looking at the date of the Dao seal, it shows that these things were set up by the first generation of Celestial Masters in the Taoist temple. It is very likely that Chongxuguan appeared to suppress the Soul Palace.
"This can only mean that even Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang can't understand the things in the Temple of the Ancestors, and they need to rely on the Heavenly Master to suppress them with the Purple Gold Talisman."
Song Siyuan could only guess this way. Now it seems that the myth of Youdu Ghost Gate is correct. These ancestors of the witch gods may have lived here for generations, and at the same time they suppressed something in the Gao Mediator Temple. After they left, Li Tang occupied this place to build a new tomb. He was afraid that the suppressed things would escape again, so he added another suppressing talisman.
