Chapter 9 Consultation
The sky was already dark, and the sky was full of stars. Ma Fan looked up at the starry sky and found a vague disk hanging in the sky, which could be two or three times the size of the moon seen on the earth. Moreover, Ma Fan seemed to be able to see the shadow of the palace on the moon. In his previous life, humans landed on the moon and said that these were mountains on the moon. However, in this world, Ma Fan saw all kinds of incredible things, which were not explained by science. Moreover, the larger moon than the earth is enough to show its difference. Ma Fan was actually in the mood to doubt whether there was a Moon Palace on the moon and Chang'e was coming.
Looking at the round moon in the sky and the stars shining in the sky, Ma Fan once again wondered whether the Three Kingdoms he had traveled to was still recorded in history. After all, the moon was sparse, and this was written by Cao Cao. The starry sky of the Three Kingdoms should not be so different from that of later generations, but at this moment the stars in the sky were able to compete with the moon, which was a bit strange.
"I haven't rested so late, nor practiced. What else should I think about the moon?" A thick voice came from behind, scaring Ma Fan. Ma Fan turned around and saw that Niu Shun had come behind him at some point.
Ma Fan said: "I didn't think about anything, just look at the moon. Uncle Niu, why haven't you rested yet?"
Niu Shun said: "I saw you running here alone, in the wilderness, and there are ghosts here. I'm not at ease, so I come and take a look. In fact, your cultivation is higher than mine, so I shouldn't worry about you, but you have lost your memory these days and can't draw talismans. Besides, it's a doll again, and I'm always worried."
Ma Fan felt shocked and said immediately: "Uncle Niu, thank you, I made you worried!"
Niu Shun said: "Stop saying such stupid words, why do we still say such words? Since there is nothing wrong, hurry up and go there. It is always safer next to Li Qushuai."
Ma Fan said: "Uncle Niu, I don't want to rest yet. Why don't you teach me how to draw talismans? Yesterday I felt that my cultivation was still there and I had entered the coagulation period. If I could draw talismans, you wouldn't have to worry about me like this."
Niu Shun was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Has it entered the coagulation period? At that time, Qu Shuai said it would take two years. It seems that you are more genius than Qu Shuai imagined, okay! Then I will tell you about drawing talismans, but the talismans are too wide. Although I have only come into contact with some superficial things, I don't know where to start for a while, so let me think about it."
Ma Fan said: "Uncle Niu, just teach me how to draw a talisman and what is most useful. I will practice it tonight and I will be able to help a little after I become proficient and master it."
Niu Shun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Shaoqushuai, you think of drawing talismans too simple. As the saying goes, "Drawing talismans without knowing the tricks, it will make ghosts laugh. Those who draw talismans know the tricks and are shocked by ghosts and gods. If you don't understand the root of Taoism, draw talismans casually, then just fake talismans. You must know that the Taiping Taoist talismans begins with "talismans, the true faith of heaven and earth, and people all use red ink, paper and pen. I'm alone, dot the spiritual light, and thoroughly understand the sky. Why not belong to the talisman? It can be void, water, fire, rubble, grass and trees, food, existence, or disposable, or changeable. This is called Taoism.' The talisman technique is based on essence, energy and spirit, and uses talismans to exert their own cultivation and receive extraordinary magical effects. Where can you master it overnight?"
Ma Fan said, "It's so complicated. Uncle Niu, just pick it up and tell me. Anyway, I will know sooner or later. I can master as much as I can. It's nothing if I can't draw it for a while. It's always good to know more."
Niu Shun nodded and pulled Ma Fan down and said, "First of drawing talismans, you must understand the connotation of the talisman, know the specific meaning of each stroke, and cultivate your virtue, so that you can draw true talismans. Otherwise, the talismans drawn are just a manifestation and have no effect. When the skill reaches a certain level, you can reach the state of innate spiritual light transformation talismans. This is an innate true talisman. I have only heard of it, and I don't understand too much, so I won't talk about it. Learning talismans must start from the basics and start step by step. You must not think that your merits are complete just now and you can draw as you wish.
The tools for drawing talismans are generally cinnabar pens. However, because the paper is too expensive and consumes too much, our Taipingdao usually carves objects such as animal skins and wooden blocks with carving knives. Of course, some people rely on drawing, but these are not important. What is important is the process of drawing talismans.
The process of drawing talismans is a process of sincere heart, and a condensing energy from the outside, gathering spiritual energy at the top of the talisman painting tool, condensed at a point, and drawing a specific mantra pattern, instead of drawing a pen and ink according to the same painting."
Speaking of this, Niu Shun looked at Ma Fan. Seeing that Ma Fan was not impatient, he listened carefully, and knew that Ma Fan had listened to it, he was secretly happy in his heart. He then said, "The talisman is divided into four key points: talisman, mantra, seal, and Dou. The talisman is a book talisman, which is a concrete rule summarized by countless ancestors, so the generation of each new rune is extremely difficult. Most of the various runes circulating now are passed down by ancient saints and those powerful golden immortals. Mantra is a spell. Mantra can help communicate the world and gods, better exert the power of the talisman, and makes it easier for people to borrow the power of the heaven and earth. Seal is a hand seal, representing the authority and seal between heaven and earth. Dou is a step Gang, divided into five elements, seven stars, eight trigrams and other different gyps.
, represents the power of different functions. However, the main and secondary are all just auxiliary things. There are many auxiliary things. If you are a beginner or lack of cultivation, in addition to using the spells and spells and footwork, you usually need to look at the time, burn incense and bathing at the beginning. Anyway, you have to find a way to adjust your energy and spirit to the best state to draw the first true talisman. After you draw the first true talisman, even if you find the trick to draw the talisman, it will be much easier to draw the talisman in the future. You can gradually save things such as burning incense and bathing and watching the time. You can draw talismans anytime and anywhere. If you have higher cultivation, you can draw talismans skillfully, and even the steps and even spells and seals can be slowly eliminated.
Although you, Shaoqushuai, were able to draw talismans at the beginning, but now you have lost your previous memory and are no different from re-learning. However, you have a relatively high level of cultivation, so you can save money by burning incense and bathing, choosing good days and auspicious days. However, you must learn spells, tricks, seals, and footwork, otherwise you will not be able to draw true talismans.”
After Ma Fan Niu Shun's words, his heart sank. It seems that drawing talismans is not a simple thing, but it is also easy to practice Taoism, and everyone will become immortals. On the contrary, it is more reasonable to work harder and hard work rewards. Only by paying one point will you gain something.
