Chapter 82 Draw a talisman, one stroke!
There are three thousand roads and eight hundred doors on the side.
Fu Xiu was often criticized by some conscious orthodox cultivators in the ancient world of practice, thinking that it was a niche category and not a real method of great Tao.
However, the talisman lineage can still occupy a place in the cultivation world while the Danding School is becoming increasingly popular, which also shows that talisman cultivation is not useless.
On the contrary, since it is difficult to get started with the Dao of Danding, it is not as quick as Fu Xiu, under the influence of the idea of quick success and instant benefits, using Fu to enter the Dao has become the choice of some people.
After all, talismans originated very early and had a long history. Before the pre-Qin period, talismans were passed down in the world. At that time, witches summoned gods and impeached ghosts through talismans, and suppressed demons and demons.
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiping Road emerged, using Fushui to cure diseases and save people, quickly united the people's hearts, and then launched the mighty Yellow Turban Army uprising, leading to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, it was at that time that the talisman lineage became a thorn in the eyes of the rulers for a long time and the target of key suppression. Over time, the talisman school gradually declined and could not become the mainstream.
Either it is lurking among the people or it has become a method to assist in practice among major schools.
Over time, people like Shuiyue Sanren, who are completely based on talismans and practice in Taoism have become very rare. Without reference from previous generations, they can only rely on their own exploration and research. This may also be the main reason why Shuiyue Sanren finally stopped at the bottleneck and could not break through.
Qi Xiang felt that Shuiyue Sanren was really a genius, with great talent and great talent in the world. He only relied on a magical text, and after his own deduction, he gradually evolved into talismans with endless uses.
Now Qi Xiang is holding her breath and concentrating her mind, and is outlining one of the very simple and practical runes.
Qi Xiang's movements were a bit unfamiliar when he picked up the pen. However, when the tip of the pen moved, it seemed as if it had been tempered for thousands of times, and the movements became very familiar without any obstacles.
The uniform and slender lines are like flowing clouds and flowing water, very smooth and beautiful.
Qi Xiang was very attentive and focused on outlining.
The bright red runes gradually appeared on the yellow paper.
Runes seem simple, but very complex.
While Qi Xiang was concentrating on drawing, the surrounding environment quietly showed subtle changes. A faint flow of slight traces of restlessness and traces of restlessness in the air.
Suddenly, the wind blew outside the window, and the flowers, plants and trees in the manor seemed to be pulled by some force, and began to tremble gently, with branches and leaves shaking.
After a while, a faint white air suddenly emerged from the green leaves.
The white air is as thin as silk, and it is thinner than hair, which is difficult to capture and see with the naked eye.
However, in a huge manor, there are many flowers, plants and trees, and the leaves must be tens of thousands. Each leaf and one qi are constantly accumulating and superimposing, which is a very considerable number.
At this moment, if someone outside visits the manor, he will see a strange scene.
When the sun was blue and white, and the sun was hanging high, the flowers, plants and trees in the manor suddenly cage a faint mist. These mists were like smoke and clouds, floating and changing.
The fog is like clouds, and the clouds rise and the wind comes.
At this moment, the wind suddenly changed, and from a faint breeze, it turned into a strong wind. The wind and clouds surged, covering the sky and the earth, the wind and clouds changed, vast and endless.
The strong wind swept through, and in a blink of an eye, a huge vortex formed in the living room, shaking the doors and windows and pounding.
Qi Xiang was in the center of the vortex, and a touch of white hair and cold sweat oozed out of her forehead. Not only did he feel the pressure on his body, but the brush in his hand was as heavy as a pound, and he was almost unable to hold it.
Although he knew early in the morning that the way of talismans must not be that simple, he did not expect that he underestimated the difficulty of drawing talismans, which made it difficult to get on the verge of the tiger now.
In Qi Xiang's understanding, the essence of the talisman is to form a small magnetic field on the paper through specific talismans to induce the karma changes of the vital energy of heaven and earth, thereby achieving a certain purpose.
But there are many things in the world that are easy to know and difficult to do.
For example, now, Qi Xiang’s steps to paint runes are correct, and he is about to form a spiritual field on paper, but he underestimated the pressure caused by the changes in the vital energy of heaven and earth.
The pressure was as strong as a mountain, which forced him to not even stand up straight. The pen was as heavy as a pound, which made him unable to hold it, lift it up, or move it.
The bright red runes on the paper are faintly flowing, and the mist that looks like smoke and clouds is constantly injected into it. Under the nourishment of the fog, the runes seem to become fresh and full of vitality.
But the talisman was not successful, and it was just the last one.
As long as the last stroke is filled, the magnetic field of spiritual power will be completely sealed on the paper to form a spiritual talisman.
Qi Xiang knew this well, but he was powerless. He had tried his best, gritted his teeth, and even had the strength to feed his breasts. The veins on his arms burst out, the blood vessels were tied bit by bit, and the palms were even more burning, and a layer of skin was almost worn off.
But no matter how hard he tried, the pen tube in his hand was like a towering tree, and he was the ant that overestimated himself. No matter how he lifted and pressed it, he could not shake the big tree at all.
It’s like downloading a file, the progress has reached 99%, but the last point is unbearable and stuck there. It’s very tragic and ecstatic.
Qi Xiang’s mood is like this, she wants to cry but she can’t stop.
At the helplessness, he could only waste it like this, watching the heaven and earth vital energy that had finally gathered together dissipated little by little and disappeared...
Half an hour later, Qi Xiang felt her whole body relax and the huge pressure disappeared. However, he couldn't be happy, and showed a crying and laughing expression on his face. Then he pressed the brush hard in his hand to make up for the last stroke of the runes on the paper.
The runes were formed, and a virtual light shone, floating like water waves, and it appeared on the paper. But in the next second, a puff sound was heard, and the talisman paper was spontaneously ignited without fire, and instantly turned into ashes.
Not only that, when the fire flashed, the brush in Qi Xiang's hand was directly broken and broken into slag.
Qi Xiang had expected it and let go of his hand early and was not hurt.
"Oh, I can't think carefully..."
Qi Xiang did not clean up the messy table, but reviewed himself as soon as possible. After some reflection, he realized his mistake. His biggest mistake was that he was too anxious!
I am eager for quick success and instant benefits, and feel that after I get the inheritance of Shuiyue Sanren, I can have smooth sailing.
Unexpectedly, there is still a difference between theory and practice.
Qi Xiang pondered and reflected on his own mistakes, and then reviewed the gains and losses of painting talismans. After a while, he suddenly remembered that not only cinnabar is the key to painting talismans, but also the pen and paper cannot be different.
"Pen……"
Qi Xiang remembered the reason why Shuiyue Sanren chose to live in seclusion in Taihu Lake.
Because there are not only a bustling city like Suzhou on the edge of Taihu Lake, which is convenient for purchasing various materials. More importantly, Huzhou was a famous pen-making hometown in ancient times.
Huzhou Hubian is known as Hui ink, Duan ink and Xuan paper. It is the most standard four treasure accessories in the minds of the ancients.
The pen used for the Shuiyue Sanren painting talisman back then was specially customized by a pen-making master in Huzhou. Unfortunately, Qi Xiang did not find any trace of the pen in the cave room at the bottom of the lake.
I don’t know if the transaction was broken or was washed to the bottom of Taihu Lake and lost.
"Forget it, make another one."
Qi Xiang thought about it and decided to take a trip to Nanxun.
It is mainly Shanlian in Nanxun, which is the birthplace of Hubian. According to legend, Meng Tian, a general of the Qin Dynasty, lived in Shanlian for a period of time, improved the brushwork technique, picked rabbits and sheep's hair, and embraced them in the public, which led to the grand occasion of the pen name in the future.
Of course, Qi Xiang said it was nonsense about this legend.
After all, during the Qin Dynasty, Jiangnan had not been developed yet, so maybe Shanlian was a wasteland. As a general, Meng Tian did not have this leisure and leisure to settle in this deserted place?
Besides, Qi Xiang knew better that Hu's pen name was well-known all over the world, which happened after the Song and Yuan dynasties.
During the Song Dynasty, the economic development of Jiangnan gradually formed a land of fish and rice, with a collection of literary styles. At that time, Shanlian had intertwined water and roads like nets, and the transportation of vehicles and ships was very convenient, and it was rich in high-quality bamboo for making pens.
It may be a coincidence, or it may be a guide. Anyway, the people of Shanlian made full use of their own advantages and worked hard to develop pen techniques. After two or three hundred years of accumulation, Hub pen finally became famous all over the world and became the best of all pens.
The road to becoming famous in Hubi is not achieved overnight, it is the result of the endless struggle of many generations.
The legend that Meng Tian settled and taught the people's pen making techniques, which made Hu pen famous was clearly an erase of the unremitting contributions of the people of Shanlian for hundreds of years.
After some twists and turns, Qi Xiang came to Nanxun.
Nanxun is a jurisdiction in Huzhou, but during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the silk industry, the rise of silk reeling industry and the development of business in Nanxun made Nanxun’s economy prosperous and prosperous. The rich and powerful gentry gathered in the town, and almost all made their fortunes by operating the silk industry. It is known as the Four Elephants, Eight Cattle, and Seventy-Two Golden Dogs.
Over time, there was a rumor that Huzhou was a city, not as good as Nanxun town.
After all, Qi Xiang lived in Huzhou for a few years and was not unfamiliar with Nanxun. After all, Nanxun is not as prosperous as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is also a famous tourist destination.
As a typical famous water town in Jiangnan, countless tourists come to Nanxun every year.
Take a small black boat and walk down the winding river path. On both sides of the river, there are simple white walls and black tiles buildings, small bridges and flowing waters.
Walking between ancient towns, you can not only enjoy beautiful natural scenery and scenic spots, but also travel through time and space, witnessing ancient images that have almost disappeared into the long river of history.
The interweaving of time and space between modern and ancient times, and that sense of disorder actually creates an indescribable charm.
Qi Xiang wandered around the ancient town, and was a little immersed in it, almost forgot the purpose of this trip...
I recommend a book, written by a rebirth of a cultural master, a friend, and his new book period needs grades. If you are convenient, please help me collect it. Thank you.
