Chapter 42: Drawing Talismans
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/
Small bridges, flowing water, grasslands, ancient maples, stone tables, small bridges, flowing water, mountains and water colors form a charming landscape. The ancient maples embraced by three or four people are lush and leaves grow on the grass on the river surface, lush and green. The huge tree canopy covers a large area of sunshine and casts a large area of shade on the grass. The river breeze gently caresses, which is cool and pleasant.
A small wooden bridge connects the banks of the river. Under the huge ancient maple is a round stone table and four stone benches. After breakfast, Zhou Shaojin carried the pen and ink and paper alone, walked through the river to the ditch, walked over the wooden bridge, came under the ancient maple, and placed things on the stone table. This place has a place name in the village, Gu Fengping!
It is named after this huge ancient maple tree. This stone table and stone bench were also made by people in the village in the past. Zhou Shaojin was not clear who did it. In his memory, since he can remember, the stone table and stone bench have been here. In the past, people in the village went into the ditch to chop firewood. Whether adults or children, they would sit down here to rest when passing by Gufengping, especially in summer, because there is huge ancient maple shade against the river, and the big trees attract wind, this place is a completely sacred place to enjoy the cool air. In the past, people had almost no interruptions from morning to afternoon.
Of course, as time goes by, Gu Fengping has long been deserted. In the final analysis, the number of people in the village has decreased and the improvement of living standards. In the past, there were many people in the village, whether it was the elderly or children, or young men who were strong, were basically at home. In addition, the village was poor. Whenever I had time, every household in the village would go into the ditches and go up the mountain to chop firewood. One was used to burn firewood at home, and the other could also sell some money for wood. But now, in the village, any middle-aged and young men who were able to work had basically gone out to work as long as they were not studying. Few people were willing to stay at home. Even if they stay at home, there would not be many people willing to go up the mountain to chop firewood at the ditches and go up the mountain to chop firewood.
The most important thing is that the conditions have improved. Although the village is not rich, it is no longer as poor as before. Some small money can still be taken out. For convenience, many people in the village use coal fires to cook, and the firewood needs are greatly reduced. In this way, few people will go up the mountain to chop wood, and naturally there are not many people entering the ditches. In addition, the distance from the village to the ditches is not short, and it takes about an hour to walk. Therefore, even in broad daylight, there are basically no one passing here all day. Because of the decrease in people's travel, the weeds in the lawn are much higher than what I remember before, and they have lost their knees. The weeds in the roots of the ancient maple are rare and low.
Take out a piece of white paper you brought and lay it flat on the round stone table. Press the four corners of the white paper with small stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Then place the ink and brush.
Gu Fengping is now sparsely populated, and it is rare for twenty-four hours a day. For Zhou Shaojin, it is a good place to practice ghost suppression talisman. After purchasing the method of ghost suppression talisman, he thought of it here. It is sparsely populated and it is under the ancient maple, which is quiet and cool. What you need most to practice is quiet and undisturbed. In addition, he himself also wants to keep the secret of his practice and cannot be known. This place is the most suitable place for him.
However, for the sake of safety, he decided to go to the top of Luoyang Mountain early in the morning when he was practicing his body, because if he was in Gufengping, it was sometimes difficult to guarantee that no one would pass by here in the early morning. Although few people come to Gufengping now, there are definitely not. For example, some hunters enter the mountain early in the morning. If they are seen, they are always suspicious, and they don’t need to draw talismans. If someone passes by, he can see it from afar. When people are curious, they can be prepared to find a reason to practice brush calligraphy by themselves. Moreover, he is now admitted to Peking University and is already a celebrity in Songzhu Village. Everyone knows that the Zhou family has produced an amazing student named Zhou Shaojin. After being admitted to Peking University, he said that there will be no doubts about practicing brush calligraphy by himself.
Under the ancient maple, the breeze is pleasant. Even in the hot summer, it will not feel hot here for twenty hours a day.
Zhou Shaojin stood by the stone table, picked up the moist brush, glued it with ink, and the tip of the pen gently fell on the white paper on the stone table, and the original white paper was dyed with a little Yin Hong.
This is red ink. Perhaps influenced by previous ghost films, I saw that the talismans drawn by the Taoist priests used red ink. In fact, Zhou Shaojin knew that the power of the talisman mainly depends on the person who drew the talisman and the materials used for the talisman. For example, the same person uses ink and dog blood to draw the talisman. There is no doubt that the talisman transformed into dog blood is definitely far better than the talismans drawn with ink. As for ink, all colors are the same.
Staring at Bi Jian who fell on the white paper, Zhou Shaojin thought about the way to draw the ghost-suppressing talisman in his mind.
Three steps of talisman: drawing the shape, drawing the spirit, and spiritual guidance!
The first step is to draw the shape and draw the shape of the talisman. Because the talisman is composed of specific shapes and characters, it is in line with the rules of heaven and earth. It is necessary to draw its shape completely and accurately. The complete shape of the ghost-suppressing talisman has long existed in Zhou Shaojin's mind. The first step he needs to do now is to draw the ghost-suppressing talisman in the shape in his mind.
The second step is to draw the gods. This is to draw the charm based on the first step of drawing the shape. This step is very lingering and difficult to express accurately in words. Simply put, it is a state of state. Drawing the charm of the talisman and the rules of heaven and earth is in line with the rules of heaven and earth. It means that when drawing the talisman, the talisman is secretly in line with the rules of heaven and earth. At this time, the talisman is no longer a simple shape drawn by yourself, but a rule rune drawn in line with the rules of heaven and earth, with certain power. At this point, even if the talisman is almost completed, even if you use ordinary tap water to draw the talisman, as long as you reach the step of painting the god, you already have some power. The only difference is whether the talisman is powerful or not.
The third step of spiritual guidance is to inject energy into the talisman to make the power of the talisman stronger. This step starts from the time of drawing the talisman, which depends on the things used to draw the talisman, such as drawing the ghost-suppressing talisman. If the talisman is transformed from the blood of black dogs, rooster blood or some powerful creatures, then the talisman will have some powerful abilities of the creatures to which these blood belong, making the power of the talisman more powerful.
People who draw talismans can also use their own blood to draw talismans. For example, some monks are powerful themselves, and the power contained in their blood is far stronger than that of ordinary people. If monks use their own blood to draw talismans, the power of the talismans must not be underestimated.
Zhou Shaojin can now draw talismans completely with his own blood. Although he has just achieved some foundation building, he has refined qi and the power contained in his blood has exceeded that of ordinary people. Using his blood to draw talismans can greatly increase the power of the talismans. Of course, it is better to draw ghost-suppressing talismans with black dog blood or rooster blood, because black dog blood and rooster blood are all the most yang things, specifically to restrain ghosts, especially those black dogs and roosters who are big enough in age.
Soon, according to the way of drawing the ghost-suppressing talisman in his mind, Zhou Shaojin drew the ghost-suppressing talisman, but he was a little dissatisfied and frowned, because although he said that the ghost-suppressing talisman was drawn intact, the shape was not very neat.
With the pen dipped ink, Zhou Shaojin began to try it for the second time. The shape of the ghost-suppressing talisman was very similar to those on TV. In his opinion, he probably didn't make up all the talismans in those ghost movies.
After spending more than a dozen breaths, Zhou Shaojin painted the second transformation of the ghost-suppressing talisman. The process was smooth and flowing, and he did it in one go. He didn't know whether he had strong learning ability or because the shape of the ghost-suppressing talisman was deeply imprinted in his mind. After drawing the ghost-suppressing talisman the second time, he found that he could not see any difference with the shape of the ghost-suppressing talisman in his mind.
The third time... The fourth time... The fifth time...
Moisten the pen, dip ink, draw the talisman, and the process of the pen is done in one go. In a row, the ghost-suppressing talisman was drawn for the tenth time. Zhou Shaojin stopped writing for a while, and saw that on the white paper, the ten ghost-suppressing talismans were arranged neatly in two lines. Except for the first ghost-suppressing talismans drawn, the other nine shape symbols were almost the same.
Zhou Shaojin nodded with satisfaction. He had completed the process of drawing the ghost-suppressing talisman. He was confident that at this time, as long as he had a thought, he could accurately draw the ghost-suppressing talisman, whether it was with a brush or other things.
"The first step is to draw the shape, and the next step is to draw the spirit."
He lifted the brush in his hand and started to do it again. This painting lasted for more than an hour, as if he was in a state of madness, devoted himself to the painting talisman, and there was no external object in his heart. The white paper with ghost-squeezing talismans on the front and back was thrown one after another on the ground, and the stack of white papers he brought had been reduced by nearly half.
Zhou Shaojin stood by the stone table. From a distance, he was like a statue at this moment, staring at the brush in his hand, and the brush was sliding on the white paper like a dragon. At this moment, Zhou Shaojin fell into a mysterious state, his mind was blank, without any thoughts, as if all his energy was gathered on the brush in his hand.
After another half an hour, Zhou Shaojin suddenly stopped writing, and on the round table in front of him, a piece of white paper was spread flat, with only a ghost suppression talisman in the middle, which looked exactly the same as the ghost suppression talisman drawn on the white paper scattered on the ground under Zhou Shaojin's feet. However, if you look closely, you will find that the ghost suppression talisman in the middle of the white paper on the stone table in front of Zhou Shaojin seemed to be brighter, as if there was a faint fluorescence between the lines.
Zhou Shaojin put down his pen and slowly picked up the white paper on the table with both hands. Then, he didn't see any too much movement. With a "bang", the ghost-suppressing talisman in the middle of the white paper in his hand suddenly burned, and a ball of flame rose, and then the flame quickly spread throughout the white paper. Zhou Shaojin let go of his hands, and the white paper fell, but it had burned to ashes before it landed on the ground.
"The heart and mind are harmonious, and the charm is created by itself!"
