Chapter 52: Cursing and Connecting with Gods please vote for me
"If this is the case..."
After listening to this, the old Taoist looked thoughtful: "It sounds like a Rakshasa bird."
"Rakshasa bird?"
"A kind of evil spirit born in the air of death is not really a bird, but it often changes into the shape of a bird. It has sharp claws and teeth, is good at change and deceit, and often comes out to harm people at dusk and dawn." The old Taoist still sat there.
On the steps, his posture was very unscrupulous. "I have never seen a poor Taoist before. I just heard that someone in the next village was killed by it when I was young and had not yet gone up to the mountain to become a Taoist priest. Later I became a Taoist priest and learned from my master."
I heard about the foundation of this thing.
"This thing can fly because it is Qi itself, but it cannot fly high because it is death Qi. Death Qi is turbid and can only sink to the ground. Swords and arrows do not cause much damage to it, only when it changes shape.
Only then will there be greater damage.
"The energy of death is related to human corpses. It gets the art of transformation from people, and it also gets the ability to spy on people's hearts."
The old Taoist said for a while and couldn't help but sigh:
"There used to be a lot of this stuff during the war, but I haven't heard of it for many years. I didn't expect it to pop up again now."
"So that's it."
Lin Jue understood his sigh.
Taoist Yunhe should have lived for several decades. Although not as long as most dynasties, it was still enough to see some ups and downs. In his eyes, the changes in the world may be faster and more concrete than those of young people.
"You are smart enough to be able to detect something wrong. You have practiced Taoism in the past few days, and you have just learned a few spells. You must be able to fight against this evil." The old Taoist said like an ordinary villager chatting at home, "Your junior sister is about the same.
, despite her young age, she actually knows it very well. She is extremely talented in the Five Elements. She is good at learning the Five Elements spells, and the Five Elements spells are the best at fighting... This is good, this is good, in a few years you will go down the mountain and leave.
, I don’t need to worry too much about you as a teacher.”
"Junior sister is indeed smart." Lin Jue did not hesitate to praise her.
"It's a pity that what we practice is the Yin and Yang spiritual method, and the Five Elements spiritual method is the most suitable for her. If there is the Five Elements spiritual method, combined with the Five Elements magic, and her character is in troubled times, she will probably have some achievements in the future."
"Five Elements Spiritual Technique..."
Lin Jue murmured and repeated.
The spiritual methods in the world are different but interoperable. You can also use the five elements magic to practice the yin and yang spiritual methods, and you can also use the yin and yang magic to practice the five elements spiritual method. However, since the two correspond to each other, it is naturally the best.
It's just that now, like the Danding Sect in the past, the Spiritual Method Sect has gradually declined and been replaced by the Fulu Sect. The magic spells in the world are scattered across the land, and they are all very rare. Even the fire-hating technique passed down from generation to generation to the magicians who travel the world.
Only two-thirds were obtained. How many idiots yearn for the immortal way but can't find it. It would be great if they could practice spiritual methods or learn a spell, but how can they choose the spiritual method that suits them.
At most, I will go down the mountain and travel around the world from now on. If I am lucky enough to find a spiritual method that suits me, I can change my practice.
It doesn't matter if you lose some moral character.
"Right——"
The old Taoist finally stood up: "When you came down the mountain before, I told you that in addition to the residual soul of Yin Qi, I would teach you a simple and easy-to-use spell. This is what I will teach you."
"What spell?"
"Have you ever heard of 'cursed ban'?"
"I've heard of it."
How come you haven’t heard of the forbidden method?
In this day and age, the most widely rumored magic spells are nothing more than fortune telling, fortune telling, drama, talismans and curses. The reasons are either simple and common, or it is difficult to distinguish true from false. More often than not, they are both simple.
It's so common that it's hard to distinguish between true and false.
No matter where you go, you can hear about the efficacious fortune-telling, where some people ask for immortals, and where there are people who use curses to eliminate demons and cure diseases. Lin Jue often heard such rumors from the village elders when he was in Shucun.
It's really hard to tell the truth from the lie.
Among these, Cursing and Imprisonment is the only one that can be invited by the imperial court and the royal family into the public domain.
Fortune-telling is only half of it. Occasionally, someone can rely on fortune-telling and fortune-telling to get an official position in the court, and some even become state counselors, but there is no specific position.
The curses are different.
The imperial court had the official position of "Doctor of Curse and Forbidden Medicine", which belonged to the Imperial Medical Office. From the ninth rank, there were also "Doctor of Curse and Forbidden Health" under his command, which shows how common it is.
"The imperial court has doctors and students who are forbidden to curse because this skill is simple and easy to learn. Many people can learn it, and it has almost no lethality on people. Most of them can only be used as assistants to eliminate demons and exorcise evil spirits.
There is no threat to the royal family. But don't underestimate it. Many 'masters' in the mountains rely on it to ward off demons and exorcise evil spirits. If we talk about ensuring the peace of the people, haha, in total, it is probably even worse than those in the legend.
There are more magical powers that reach heaven and earth.
"What I taught you is called the Appearance Spell, which can make spirits appear. You will definitely need it when you come down the mountain.
"Memorize the spell first, then learn the tricks.
“Listen well——
"The sky and the earth are vast, and the heroic spirits here obey my orders, and their spiritual light is like a wash, shining through the eternal darkness. When demons and ghosts come, do not hide your form and avoid the light. The yin and yang of the three realms will appear when my curse comes out.
"Do it again..."
It was the one that the third senior brother read that night.
Lin Jue immediately repeated.
…
"The world is vast, and the heroic spirits here obey my orders..."
Back in the room, Lin Jue was still mumbling, trying to remember this spell deeply.
We now know that the common fairies and ghosts in the world are not that powerful. If powerful monsters and ghosts harmed people in the world, they would have already caused huge waves. Therefore, most of the fairies that people often encounter are not necessarily much more powerful than humans, and may even be
It's not better than humans, it's just that it's either unpredictable and elusive, or it's changeable and hard to distinguish, or it's good at hiding and hard to touch and see.
You can probably guess how those folk experts use the method of curse and ban to eliminate demons.
If you don't use a curse to urge it to leave, you use a curse to make it appear, or to trap it, and then hand it over to swords, guns, sticks, bows and arrows, oil and fire. It doesn't matter if it is simple or crude, it is a good remedy if it is easy to use.
And this spell is really simple——
In front of the master, Lin Jue only recited the mantra for the third time, and he had already achieved the effect of the mantra. At this time, the mantra has already had an effect, but the effect depends on the degree of attainment.
When he returned to his room, he took out the ancient book.
I still don’t know the origin of this ancient book, but I am becoming more aware of some of its characteristics.
The ancient book is not afraid of being lost. Even no matter where it is placed, as long as he needs it and calls out his thoughts, it can appear by his side, just like it has spirituality. Naturally, he can also let it go away. At the same time, after groping for so long, he gradually
After mastering the trick of listening to the "discourse" of ancient books, you don't have to listen to it from the beginning every time. The control method of all these is like the legendary treasure magic weapon controlled by the mind.
At this time, I opened the book again and turned to a new page:
Cursing is also a medical skill.
Medicine and witchcraft have the same origin, and there are many methods of cursing and tabooing. They all use spells to expel evil spirits and cure diseases, dispel yin and catch ghosts. They should not directly hurt evil spirits, nor hurt people.
To list the many spells in detail, they can be roughly divided into several categories: urging treatment, exorcising evil, dispelling yin, manifesting, trapping, and possessing objects. The spells often change with time, and are different in each dynasty and each generation.
Lin Jue pinched the paper.
There was a voice in my head, explaining the essential principles of the mantra, as well as some key points of practice and insights.
The spell is just not recorded.
Maybe there are too many mantras to remember, or because they change frequently, I don't remember them.
There seems to be another page ahead?
Lin Jue turned forward——
Theosophy, program science and ritual.
Gods have existed since ancient times, and later they gradually formed Shinto. Those who serve the gods can communicate with the gods through fixed procedures and rituals, or express themselves to the gods, or seek divine power.
Lin Jue pinched the page of the book again.
Suddenly there was another sound.
I almost know——
The method of communicating with gods originated from ancient rituals in which princes and nobles prayed to heaven. Later, as more and more gods and believers appeared in the world, the gods imitated the rituals of praying to heaven and created their own exclusive rituals. Later, orthodox gods gathered together
When you go to the Nine Heavens Fairyland, build a palace and form a system, you will have standard rituals, that is, the rituals and procedures for inviting gods.
But there are gods not only in the sky.
It exists in the human world as well.
Some are local and social gods, some are officially recognized, some are gods created by the people themselves, and some are simply goblins and ghosts, claiming to be gods, and it is difficult to determine good and evil.
These gods also have believers, servers, and even temples, and they also need to communicate with each other.
Therefore, we refer to the rituals of orthodox gods.
Some changes are significant, and some changes are negligible.
Lin Jue also knew the reason why his master warned him not to arbitrarily imitate the Talisman Sect to place incense tables and set up altars.
"The new monks of the Fulu Sect have learned the strict rituals of the altar, so they will not make mistakes. Most of the monks of the Fulu Sect who have good practices have a 'lu'. If they are recognized by the gods in the sky, they can naturally invite their own gods accurately. But if you are an ordinary person,
If you also put up an incense table on the altar, it's not necessarily the case.
"If you are not careful, the ritual will go wrong.
"Most of them can't invite the gods.
"This is a good thing.
"If you really invite me -
"It should be noted that the righteous gods are busy and will never respond to mortals at will.
"Someone who has dealt with an evil god before and has something related to it on his body may invite it here; someone who is in the incense place of a certain evil god may also invite it here; someone who invites someone nearby
This supernatural spirit and ghost, someone invites the ancestors who have never rested in peace;
"Most of it is not a good thing.
"..."
So says the words in ancient books.
The "evil gods" mentioned here should refer to gods that are not recognized by the court and heaven, and do not necessarily refer to evil gods.
"These words...this ancient book...seem to come from when the Fu Lu Sect was just rising."
Lin Jue thought silently in his heart.
This method of communicating with the gods was of little use to him, a Taoist who practices spiritual law, but it did help him understand a lot of knowledge, making the image of the gods in his mind gradually clearer and richer.
It turned out that the gods were extremely illusory in his mind.
Lin Jue stopped by to check on Lord Yili.
It seems that he is the true king under the command of Emperor Yujian, and Emperor Yujian is a widely believed deity here. There is a statue of his old man in the Tianweng Temple in Fuqiu. Thinking about it this way, Qiyun Mountain may be the main god worshiped besides Tianweng.
This is the Jade Mirror Emperor.
