Chapter 13 Heaven, Earth, People, Gods and Ghosts, the Five Great Barriers of the Tao Sect

"The talisman is based on the power of heaven and earth."

Opening the page, eight big characters came into Jiang Xuan's eyes, followed by some brief introduction to Fu Lu.

What made Jiang Xuan's pupils shrink rapidly was not the overall introduction to the talismans, but the introduction of the five talismans in the book.

"The First Interpretation of Talismans" records that Taoist talismans can be divided into five types, namely heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts.

Tianlu is the manifestation of Tao.

No one knows when the first Tianlu appeared.

It is recorded in the book that those who obtained the Great Way script all knew that they could write the Great Way script in an ignorant way.

Of course, even though they understood it, they still couldn't describe it in detail. They could only imitate a tiger and a cat, trace out the incomplete characters of Tiandao, and named it Tianlu.

The Tianlu made in this way can only be regarded as a defective product of the Taoist inscriptions, but it also has great magical powers, and even a slightly more complete Tianlu can help people realize the Tao.

Then continue to simplify and simplify these defective products, and they will become the talismans in the hands of ordinary people.

After the heavenly jar, there is the earthly jar.

The earth urn is a talisman used by Taoists to absolve the lives of ghosts, gods, and earth creatures.

According to the book, the list of gods in The Romance of the Gods is the urn for the gods who forgive their lives.

It's just that the Conferred God List is exceptionally powerful, even more powerful than the ordinary Tianlu.

After the earth urn, there is the human urn.

Renlu is the talisman known to ordinary people.

Heal diseases and save people, summon gods and impeach ghosts, suppress demons and demons, relieve disasters and stop harm.

Wait, wait, etc., these are all things that humans can do.

The sacred urn after the human urn was actually made by Taoist priests.

But compared to what humans can do, what gods can do is more like a myth.

Calling for wind and rain, moving mountains and reclaiming seas, picking up the stars and the moon, etc., can all be accomplished through a small sacred vessel.

This situation looks like man taking over the power of God.

Therefore, the ancients called these powerful talismans individually the divine talismans.

As for the last ghost, it was the reason why Jiang Xuan's pupils shrank.

The ghost urn is not a talisman used by ghosts, nor is it a certificate leading to the underworld. It is also made by humans and is one of the five major urns of Taoism.

What surprised Jiang Xuan about this thing was not its name, but its material.

Although the other four kinds of talismans also have material requirements, even though the materials for making the heaven, earth, and god talismans are more precious, they are nothing more than wood, animal skins, or gold and iron, which are not beyond Jiang Xuan's understanding.

But what about Guilu?

This guy literally uses ghosts as traps.

After the Taoist priest catches the ghost and uses various methods to process it (páo zhì), the ghost can be divided into two parts.

One part true spirit, one part ghost body.

The true spirit will be saved by Taoist priests.

Those Taoist priests don't know and don't care whether the transcended true souls go to the netherworld or other places.

As for the ghost body that is left with only instinct, it will be continued to be processed by the Taoist priests, turning it into a carrier that can withstand the power of the talisman, and finally become a series of ghost talismans with unpredictable power.

Compared with disposable talismans such as human and divine talismans, ghost talismans are more unpredictable and can be used repeatedly.

Even as long as the source is not harmed and it is cultivated for a long enough time, the power that Guilu can exert will be even more powerful.

So in this world, it is common for little ghosts to harm people, but Taoist priests also catch ghosts and make talismans, which is really outrageous.

Seeing that the more powerful the ghost written in the book, the more powerful the ghost would be after being made into a ghost, Jiang Xuan suddenly became very frightened after thinking about it.

Those famous ghost places must have been raised by some Taoist priests themselves!

Usually, they are raised first, and when those ghost kings become famous and fat enough, they go down the mountain to slay demons and demons.

When the time comes, you will gain both benefits and reputation, truly killing two birds with one stone.

"Don't dare to think, don't dare to think."

Shaking his head to suppress the sudden thoughts that came to his mind, Jiang Xuan continued to look down.

Then he discovered that the talismans in this world were not much different from the talismans he remembered in his previous life.

Before making a talisman, you need to calm your mind and choose an auspicious day.

Ning Xin Jing Shen is easy to understand. After all, making talismans is always a delicate job.

If you are distracted and miss your mark when writing, the effectiveness of the talisman will be greatly reduced or even rendered ineffective.

As for choosing an auspicious day in the zodiac, it is mainly for the qi of heaven and earth.

The symbol can be divided into two parts.

The first step is to draw a blank talisman.

The blank talisman is to draw a minimalist version of the Tiandao script on the talisman material, which is the talisman Taoist script, or runes for short.

This step is the simplest. In Jiang Xuan's opinion, even a machine or an ordinary person can complete it.

It's just that this era advocates doing it yourself, so when Taoist priests draw talismans, they do every step by themselves.

After drawing the blank talisman, if you want the talisman to have magical abilities, you need to use true energy and mana as a bridge to integrate the energy of heaven and earth into the blank talisman.

In this step, you need to choose an auspicious day.

For example, before and after the Waking of Insects, it is particularly easy to attract the energy of heaven and earth with the attribute of thunder.

At this time, when you draw the lightning talisman, not only will the talisman be more powerful, but the success rate will also be higher.

However, if the drawing time of the thunder talisman is changed to winter, the success rate will be low, and the power of the drawn thunder talisman will also be surprisingly low.

Therefore, choosing an auspicious day in the zodiac does have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort when it comes to painting talismans.

He read "The Preliminary Interpretation of Talismans" in one glance and ten lines. When Jiang Xuan came to his senses, the sky was already dark.

After walking outside the house and looking at the setting sun that had sunk below the horizon, Jiang Xuan simply walked to the edge of the bitter bamboo.

——-

Natal spiritual root: Innate bitter bamboo ("Tai Chi Heart Sutra" proficiency 13%.)

Susukada: one acre

Fertilizer: 0 packs

Feed: 0 packs

Spiritual beast: Tianhu-ginger glutinous rice balls

Spiritual plants: leeks, spinach, celery, soybean sprouts, lettuce.

————

The bitter bamboo was the same as before, with only one branch and one leaf. Jiang Xuantong did not have the skills to draw talismans because he read "The First Interpretation of Talismans".

In the entire displayed information, only the four characters "Colonel Xuanqiu" in the "Spiritual Beast" column have changed.

I think it's because just reading through "The First Interpretation of Talismans" does not mean you have learned the art of drawing talismans.

To hang it on a branch and turn it into new leaves, you probably need some hands-on experience.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan waved to Jiang Wu who was just going up the mountain:

"Tomorrow morning I will go to town to buy some wolf brushes, yellow talisman cloth, ritual smoke ink and pure Yang cinnabar. I will prepare to draw the talismans in a few days."

"The First Interpretation of Talismans" records three basic methods of drawing talismans.

The first one is the "Light Body Talisman" that draws light energy and greatly increases people's movement speed;

The second type is the "Purification Talisman" that can cure some minor ailments;

The last one is the "Evil-Quitting Talisman" that can get rid of evil spirits.

These three kinds of talismans are all basic talismans and are used by newcomers to practice their skills.

If you can't even draw these three kinds of talismans, then don't even think about continuing to delve into making talismans.

Jiang Wu, who had just reached the top of the mountain out of breath, suddenly fell down when he heard this:

"Brother, are you really going to give me a set of gravity charms?"

Smiling and waving his hands, Jiang Xuan immediately said:

"I haven't even started making talismans yet, how can I draw a gravity talisman?"

"But if you really want to put a few gravity charms on yourself, then I won't be able to satisfy you."

Jiang Wu shook his head crazily:

"No, no, no, I'm fine now. I feel like I've become a lot stronger by the end of the day."

"If big brother you put a few more gravity charms on me, it will probably be too much and not enough."
