C32 Self-training
Alright, I'll teach you the first Tao technique, "Self-Refinement", which is also the most basic dao technique. It has the effect of strengthening the body, you listen carefully, what do I say, how do you do it — focus on the heart, relax and nature, light lips and teeth, breathe slowly, straighten the beard and beard, flat eyes, gather the divine light, reach the heavenly temple, enter the heart, descend to the Qi acupoint continuously, use it not quickly, the dantian energy is warm, the kidney is like soup, carry the Qi circulation channel. "
"What's a Heavenly Heart? And what does the Divine Court mean? " I asked.
"Tianxin is the Tianxin Acupoint in my hand, while the Holy Mansion is the very center of my hair. First, I need to focus all of my attention on the Tianxin Acupoint in my hand, and then I will focus my attention on the Divine Temple Acupoint..."
I stood upside down on the wooden stake. Under Daoist Master Qingfeng's repeated and patient instructions, I actually slowly felt a wave of hot air coming out of my dantian and flowing through my entire body. The numbness in my arms and the congestion in my brain caused by standing upside down had also slowly lessened …
"Focus, don't let your thoughts run wild!" Daoist Master Qingfeng interrupted my thoughts.
Just like this, I did as Daoist Master Qingfeng said, one step at a time. I leaned on this wooden stake for nearly an hour before he untied the rope tied to my feet.
At this moment, my arms were already shaking from the pain. If not for the fact that my legs were tied up and I wasn't able to hold on, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Seeing that the rope was untied, I hastily jumped off the wooden stake and sat on the training table as I panted heavily. His arms were also shaking uncontrollably.
"That's it? In the afternoon, I will teach you how to draw the first talisman. After you learn it, I will not go to's place to draw the female ghost tomorrow. Daoist Master Qingfeng said to me.
When I heard this, I got a burst of excitement in my heart! In the blink of an eye, the tiredness and aching pain in his body had lessened by more than half. He was finally going to learn Tao techniques! Furthermore, after learning it, he could go find that ghost girl for actual combat tomorrow.
During lunch time, after the excitement had passed, I couldn't help but become a bit more nervous. If I go deal with the ghost girl by myself tomorrow, what if I can't beat his? This ghost isn't a human. Without the restriction of the law, if I can't beat his, how can she let me live? That would be no different from courting death.
No, I'll have to ask Daoist Master Qingfeng for a life-saving magic item in the afternoon just in case.
In his heart, he thought, "My hands are faster at chopping vegetables..."
After having lunch with Daoist Master Qingfeng, before I could say what I was thinking, he pulled me into a room that resembled a study room.
In this small room that was about ten square meters, there was only a black wooden square table. On the stone table, there were all kinds of yellow charm papers, calligraphy brushes, inkstone tables, inkstone pots, teapots, etc …
The walls of the room were covered with all sorts of charm papers.
Daoist Master Qingfeng walked in front of the table and poured the ink from the inkstone into the inkstone. Then he took out a small handful of red powder from a nearby box and sprinkled it into the inkstone.
"Master, what is this red powder?" I walked closer to Daoist Qingfeng and asked.
"Cinnabar, you don't even know that." Daoist Master Qingfeng did not even raise his head as he earnestly stirred the ink stone with a brush.
"What's the use of cinnabar?" Do you want to use it to draw talismans? " I asked.
"Evil Repellent, Detoxification." After Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, he saw that I still didn't quite understand, so he continued:
"In China, from ancient times to modern, from the highest officials and nobles to the lowest common people, almost all of us regard this cinnabar as a sacred treasure. "Among them, its scarlet red color is one of the main reasons why my countrymen like it. And another reason is that it can ward off evil!" What is evil? For example, in the dead of night, one could not open the window to sleep. If one opened the window to sleep, if one heard that someone had changed their name late at night, once they agreed, they would definitely be haunted by Demonic Ghosts! We Taoists call this phenomenon evil spirits, demons, or demonic beings possessing the body. The cinnabar, on the other hand, can be repelled or countered. "
Hearing this, I understood most of it. I really didn't expect that this little cinnabar would have so many functions.
"Come look, I will teach you to draw the first talisman, which is the talisman that you must use to exorcise Lin Sen tomorrow, the Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram!" Daoist Qingfeng waved his hand at me and told me to stand to his left.
After I walked over, Daoist Master Qingfeng dipped his brush into the ink and wrote on a yellow talisman paper on the table. Although the strokes were slow, they carried the air of the clouds, stopping the calligraphy.
Look closely, from top to bottom, this first stroke will be drawn with the luck of the heavens, then with the filial piety of the children, then with the righteous soul, finally with the son Chen He Wu A, all of this must not be decided! When drawing the talismans, one must be sincere, one must want to remain calm, and one's body must be righteous, and this Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram will be fine! After Daoist Master Qingfeng finished speaking, that Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram was also finished painting.
"How is it? You try it. " Daoist Master Qingfeng said as he handed the brush to me.
Brother, I still don't understand it at all. Can you let me draw it now? This was no joke.
Accept it or not?
After hesitating for a while, I still took the brush from Daoist Qingfeng's hands. No matter what, I definitely can't let him laugh.
Soaked in ink, I found a piece of talisman paper and started to watch Daoist Master Qingfeng draw on the gourd with the Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram.
"Pah!" Daoist Qingfeng smacked my head.
"How did you draw it?!" Are you drawing talismans or crabs?! He had to straighten his body! When drawing talismans, you must avoid using both your heart and mind. You must treat this talisman as your entire world, and if you do not draw properly, the entire world will disappear, and you must use this mentality to draw! " Daoist Master Qingfeng scolded me angrily.
I had to change a new sheet of paper, take a deep breath, concentrate, and draw.
After a long while, he finally managed to draw this extremely complex Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram. After he finished drawing, Daoist Master Qingfeng picked it up, took a look and said:
"It cannot be broken in the middle. Continue drawing."
Just like this, under Daoist Master Qingfeng's' coercion ', I started to draw Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram again and again. No matter how hard I tried, how carefully I drew them, all of the talisman couldn't satisfy Daoist Qingfeng.
Until my pen hand began to tingle and my heart began to grow restless and bored.
I really didn't think that being a Taoist would be so bitter.
But then I thought, this Daoist Priest Qing Feng has been accompanying me in the room practicing this talisman drawing technique with me. He wasn't even annoyed. Why should I be?
Thinking about this, I clenched my teeth and continued to persevere. It wasn't until the sun set and the night painting was finally revealed that Daoist Master Qingfeng, who was sitting at the side, took out my talisman paper and looked at it for a long time before lightly nodding his head.
When I saw this, I was overjoyed and hurriedly began asking,
"Master, is my painting good enough?"
Daoist Master Qingfeng was stunned. He raised his head, cast me a glance, and said,
"Don't think too much into it. I was just dozing off. Continue painting..."
The phone's QQ third row in the top five expressions, is my current mood!
"Master, I want to rest for a while." I looked at Daoist Master Qingfeng and said, "I really can't take it anymore. I've been painting for five to six hours and my fingers are starting to tremble."
After Daoist Master Qingfeng heard this, he didn't make things difficult for me and nodded.
Like an amnesty version, I placed my brush on the desk and stretched out my right hand, which was already aching from the pain.
"Master, why do you have a completely different attitude towards the rich and the village people?" I asked while moving my right hand. I was bored.
Daoist Master Qingfeng stood up and poured a cup of tea from the table. He then took a sip and said to me,
"Because of one word — conscience. People can never not cheat in their entire lives, but remember not to hurt their conscience. Those who live in the lowest rung of society may be poor, may be ignorant, so the last thing they guard that they should be proud of will be their conscience. With a conscience, they will know when to stop and when to stop. Do you think Master can be a little less courteous to good people? "
After listening to Daoist Master Qingfeng's words, I finally understood a little. What he said was indeed very true. If a person has been protecting their conscience for their entire lives, then they would be a good person.
"Have you had enough rest? "If you're done, then hurry up and continue drawing." Daoist Master Qingfeng interrupted my thoughts.
Helpless, I picked up the brush again, dipped it in ink, and continued to draw according to Daoist Master Qingfeng's Zi Chen Wu Jia Diagram.
I had no idea how many I had drawn. I only remembered that when there were only a few sheets of thick yellow paper left on the table, Daoist Master Qingfeng asked me to stop.
"Alright, it's a bit difficult for you to learn this talent of yours in one day. Alas, in this era, there aren't many people as smart as your master anymore …" While saying this, Daoist Master Qingfeng deliberately put on the appearance of a genius.
I had the urge to punch him!
"Go and cook first." Daoist Master Qingfeng said to me.
After dinner, Daoist Master Qingfeng brought me to the room where I used to draw talismans. He didn't let me continue to practice drawing talismans, but sat on a chair, looked at me and said,
"Thirteen, let me ask you something. What is the most important thing for us Daoists to do in the Three Realms and maintain peace between the Yin and Yang Realms?"
I lowered my head and thought for a moment.
"Eliminate harm for the people?"
Daoist Clearwind shook his head.
"Save the common people?"
Daoist Clearwind continued to shake his head.
"Keep your conscience?" I asked.
Daoist Clearwind still shook his head.
"What is that?" I really don't know. " I asked, discouraged.
"It's very simple. There are only three words to it: Live." Dao Master Qingfeng looked at me and said with a smile. Although he was smiling, his tone didn't contain the slightest hint of a joke.
"You should know that in our line of work, it is a very dangerous job. As long as you are a little bit careless, you will never be able to recover. Of course, this is still too early for you." Dao Master Qingfeng looked at me seriously and said.
"Which sentence?" I asked.
