Master saw my shock and said: "A peace talisman can block many things. I can't use the magic of changing fate to extend your life, but a peace talisman can make him free from illness and pain." , no accidents, very smooth, this can be regarded as a life-saving means. General peace charms can only resolve some minor troubles, but powerful peace charms can indeed be used for a long time and block many bad things. I want to draw I give you, Uncle Li, a peace talisman that is not a heaven-defying magic to change your destiny, but a very heaven-defying one."
I'm a little silent, Silver Talisman, is Master sure? In fact, I know that the relationship between their senior brothers is extremely deep.
But there is no need for me to comment on Master's work. I pondered for a while, and simply stopped dwelling on this topic and said to Master, "Master, why is there something like gem powder mixed in the cinnabar?"
"Gem powder? What does that mean? Real gold powder is sometimes used. If you ask me why, I really don't have a big theoretical basis to tell you. After all, I once said that some things are just handed down from our ancestors. , I just want to do this, and I won’t go into details about the reasons. But there is one thing you can think about. Do you know about Western warlocks? Or they are called magicians. When they use their skills to communicate with the five elements, they need a magic weapon. The staff, the head of the staff, is often a gem. The higher the quality, the better, the purer the better, and the bigger the better. What do you think about this?" Master looked at me with burning eyes.
I looked up and said, "Perhaps a gem can gather the aura better and amplify this effect?"
It is true that talismans are ever-changing and their functions are complex, but the reason why a large part of talismans work is to condense the aura or disperse the aura. The reason why cinnabar is the first choice for drawing talismans is because cinnabar is the There is an inexplicable fusion with the aura.
To put it simply, it is like something painted with cinnabar. The red color is so dazzling and eye-catching. Even if you look at it for a long time, you will feel like you want to escape, or even feel dizzy. This is a feeling of the aura being affected, which is an effect that no red pigment can achieve.
Some things are so simple to explain, but they are also subtle and cannot be explained in words, they can only be understood.
Master heard my opinion on gems and said: "Well, you understand it well, so a gem is a stone. Why is it so hard for everyone to resist? Do you like it? It is not given a monetary value like gold. But it is also praised to the sky, is it because of its rarity? Obviously not! What about rare ores? Can you sincerely like those things? Obviously not! This is because the aura of the gem itself affects human beings. "
"Well, that's true, but Master, I would rather the iron block have an aura." I said seriously.
"Why?" Master felt confused. He was originally going to drink. When he heard what I said, he stopped drinking and the hand holding the bottle stopped in mid-air.
"Because women all love gems, and those things are so expensive. If I marry a wife in the future, what should I do if she wants me to give me a ring with such a big gemstone?" I made a pattern about half the size of a fist with my hand. Then he sighed and said, "If it's made of iron, I don't have a problem with it being covered all over her body."
This question is really annoying. I'm not a rich person. Looking at Master's behavior, I don't think I will be rich in the future. If that's the case, I'm not allowed to ask Chengzhen to borrow money in the future? The richest people are those who have the same pulse.
The master stared at me blankly for a long time, and suddenly kicked the stool under my butt. I didn’t react and fell straight to the ground. The master cursed and said: "***, how dare you look down on Shanzimai?" , Crying about poverty, right?”
I didn't cry poor, but now my butt hurts so much that I almost cry.
After returning from Tianjin, Master entered a state of seclusion. There were so many talismans to draw, which was indeed a big burden.
Chengxin, who lives in another city, has come to visit me frequently recently, 4 or 5 times a month, and every time he comes to deliver some pills.
Some of these pills are for replenishing qi and blood, and some are for replenishing spirit and mind. They are all used to replenish Master.
As for Chengzhen, he also came here and brought a lot of money. That means that during this period, the precious ingredients will be used by my master according to the recipe prescribed by Master Chen, so there is no need to worry about money.
I know that these are several of their fellow apprentices who have united together and made up their minds to make a heaven-defying peace talisman for Uncle Li.
I can't help much, but I have become more and more diligent in my practice. I feel that my strength is really low and I can't share the burden for Master until now.
A month later, I was basically finished with school affairs and successfully passed my defense. In the past month, Master’s achievements have also become richer.
The yellow symbols are in pieces.
The blue symbols are divided into 7 pieces. (In addition to the 5 bought, Master also has two that he saved before)
The purple talisman is divided into 3 pieces.
All that's left is the silver talisman.
On this day, Master called me to me very seriously: "Sanwa'er, you are my disciple. Do you know where your greatest talent is?"
"I know, my spiritual sense is strong, but I think it's of no use other than opening my eyes." I said.
Indeed, I feel that apart from being able to open the Heavenly Eye, it is really not very useful. Hand techniques, drawing talismans, formations, etc., these all require the accumulation of time, careful study, understanding, and improvement of skills. It cannot be done at all. Use tricks.
"That's wrong. I teach you things step by step, starting from the basics. But if I teach you some things, you are luckier than many people and you will get started quickly." The master said seriously.
"Then why don't you teach me?" I was a little dissatisfied and couldn't figure out what the master was thinking.
"Just because you are too young and your mind is not yet mature, teaching you is like putting a knife in a child's hand, as I once said to you, do you understand?" Master said to me seriously.
"I'm not a bad person!" I didn't like hearing this, so I couldn't help but make my words a little impulsive and angry.
"Of course this has something to do with good and bad, but actually what I'm worried about is not this, but because you are still inexperienced. What if you are taken advantage of by someone with bad intentions? What if you are impulsive and don't consider the consequences? You know, I am a metaphysic. There are many taboos about blood vessels. If you are not careful, you will be contaminated by cause and effect, and you will regret it. The damage caused may sometimes be worse than a bomb. Have you forgotten about the Tomb of the Hungry Ghost?" Master was very serious this time. More serious than ever.
I lowered my head and thought, but I also knew that what Master said was serious. Just like when I was fighting in the streets and alleys of Beijing, if I got angry, maybe I would use what I learned to harm others? Is there any use in regretting afterwards
Not to mention other things, after I harm others, I will also suffer a strong backlash, plus I am a child...
I couldn't help but sweat dripping down my face. Master allowed me to let him go during those days. Wasn't it a test of my xinxing? I didn't know any powerful magic skills at that time, but if I wanted to lure a wandering ghost, I could do it...
But I didn’t, and I just walked through those years!
Besides, Master is really protective of me. What if I know some less troublesome spells
Fortunately, after going through so much, my character has probably been tempered. At least I won't be like before, where I would impulsively get into a fight when others provoke me.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Master asked when he saw that my face turned pale.
"Master, I understand. In those years, you told me to train your mind. Now I really understand." Yes, a transparent stone will always be transparent in the stream. If it is thrown into ink Woolen cloth? After picking it up, if it can wash away all the dirt and return to transparency, then this is considered a settled xinxing.
Master really has good intentions. He endured heartache and pressure all those years and still let me practice!
This is a harsh Taoist approach, but it is also unavoidable. Of course, some pulses, which originally do not focus on the nature of the mind but only seek the purpose, cannot be counted among them.
"Now that you understand, I can tell you why spiritual awareness is important! At least there are several very powerful and important methods in Taoism. Spiritual awareness is the most critical. The skills of these methods can still be ranked behind. As long as oneself As long as you can bear it," the master said calmly.
"What is it?" I couldn't help but asked anxiously.
"It's like the art of inviting gods, it's like the art of the upper, middle and lower three grasses!" the master said seriously.
I was shocked all of a sudden. I had seen Master perform Xia Mao's technique, which was so powerful, but Master had never told me about these techniques in detail. Even the books about these techniques were carefully put away. , so that’s it!
Am I naturally better suited to practice these techniques
