Chapter 109: The Qi of Beginning
"Okay, the words are good and the meaning is even better!"
The grandfather looked at this couplet with joy and praised loudly.
Although Lingqing didn't know how to write calligraphy before, when he later acquired calligraphy skills as a scholar, his level could only be said to be average.
But he had been copying scriptures on the mountain for nearly three years, and each word and every stroke contained his understanding of the Taoist scriptures.
Now this calligraphy naturally has a sense of elegance and elongation, with clouds and dragons looming.
In addition, when writing this couplet, Lingqing also injected his own understanding of evil spirits, disaster relief, longevity, auspiciousness and other meanings into it through the technique of talisman water.
It can be said that this couplet is enough to be called a peace charm.
"Grandpa is so complimentary."
Although Ling Qing looked very satisfied, he said modestly.
Next, after Lingqing finished writing the word "福" in his own couplet, he also wrote a word "福" for each family in the Ling family and asked them to post it on the central hall.
He also sent Lingji, a delightful little guy, to deliver them to each door one by one.
In the evening, I had my evening classes early and sent Grandpa and Lingji home.
After declining their warm invitation, Lingqing returned home and placed the food he had brought on the table.
Put the dumplings that the aunt made for lunch into the pot and put them out after they are cooked.
This is his New Year's Eve dinner this year.
It was much better than when he was away from home in previous years.
At that time, most of them were just a pack of frozen dumplings.
After eating, Lingqing did not go to bed as early as usual.
He does not intend to stay up until the end of the year, but is prepared to take this opportunity to capture some spirit of innovation.
By the way, it also adds some blessings and auspiciousness to the Ling family and even Shanngling Village.
Chu means to remove; Xi means night.
New Year's Eve means New Year's Eve, which means that the old year is gone and replaced by a new one.
This spirit of renewal is the replacement of the old with the new, and the renewal of all things.
It has the effect of washing away the old dust and renewing the image.
No matter it is stored, it will be accumulated in the future to condense the corresponding principles and laws.
You can also use this gas to cleanse yourself or magical objects, it will have miraculous effects.
When I was in the dungeon before, Lingqing had not yet learned the spirit-binding method, and had not yet established the foundation.
There is no way to retain such treasure.
Now I naturally want to try it.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ling Qing, who had put on the Wanxiang Yiqi robe, got up and came to the courtyard.
"Duo!"
With a slight tap of his feet, the ground trembled slightly, and a three-foot altar slowly rose from the ground.
The altar is divided into three levels, with flags fluttering in the wind, exactly like the Ling Fu Xuan Altar he built.
Of course, this is not the mysterious altar in his body, but the altar established with the help of the mysterious altar method.
For those who choose to forge the Taoist base of the magical altar, the general method is to use mana to activate the seeds of the talisman and turn them into spell runes to attack.
After that, a Dharma altar is erected and the Dharma is performed on this altar.
The spells contained in Taoji can be used as components of scientific rituals and exert corresponding effects.
Because they are used to protect the body and summon talisman flags and decrees, together with the two artifacts in hand.
Even the magic book "Book of Nature" was used by him to suppress the altar on Qingyun Mountain.
There were not even any offerings or ritual objects displayed on the altar.
So now the altar is empty.
However, it is enough to suppress the altar with the spiritual treasure talisman.
Then he waved his sleeves and recited a mantra, and the talismans under the altar shone with light.
Suddenly, fog concealment, camouflage, danger omen, resistance to energy damage, wind of restraint, mountain pace, vine trip, body protection...
Wait for the spell to be activated and spread throughout the courtyard wall, protecting Ling Qing and the altar.
Although no one around Shanngling Village should be able to hurt him, be careful.
Originally, the turn of the year refers to the time when Hai and Zi intersect, which is 11 o'clock.
But now people generally believe that 12 o'clock is the turn of the new year.
This universal consensus, with China and China praying together, is enough to smooth out the deviations and make the replacement of the old and the new take place at 12 o'clock.
When everything was ready, it was almost early morning.
Accompanied by the roar of firecrackers in the village, Lingqing made seals with his hands, recited divine mantras, and walked around the altar with a steel step under his feet.
As he began to fast and practice Dharma, his spiritual mind and breath merged into the treasured flags on the Dharma altar.
With the help of the power of the altar and the protection of the spiritual treasure talisman, you can prevent yourself from being shocked by firecrackers and thunderbolts.
Then he constantly evokes the expectations, blessings and prayers of the people around him for the New Year.
Suddenly, Lingqing stopped, stood still in front of the altar, and the magic formula in his hand changed.
"Come!"
With a loud shout, a wisp of white or red smoke rose from every house in Shanngling Village and its surrounding villages.
One after another, humane prayers, under his guidance, continued to brew, gathering all the energy around Shanngling Village at the lower altar.
He also took out the Qi Shu of the Ling family individually and placed them at the middle altar.
"Duh!"
Lingqing shouted again and reached out towards Qingyun Mountain to grab it.
A breath was caught in his hand, and at the same time, the shadow of Qingyun Mountain emerged in his heart.
It merged with this breath, became a little more solid, and was placed under the treasure flag on the altar.
By the time everything was ready, it was already approaching early morning.
After thinking about it, Lingqing stretched out his hand and a hundred and ten copper coins flew out of the tiger skin pouch on his waist and landed on the middle altar.
With his powerful spiritual sense, he could already hear the sound of a countdown coming from a nearby TV.
“5…4…3…2…”
"1!"
When the countdown ended, pillars of red gold light rose up from the land of China.
In the sky, there is a mixture of the atmosphere of eradicating old dust and opening up all things, turning into a golden auspicious cloud.
When Lingqing saw this, he also quoted the magic formula and collected the prayers on the altar, and a beam of light rose up.
Together with that atmosphere, it turned into an auspicious cloud.
"Happy New Year!"
"It's Chinese New Year!"
"..."
Amidst the blessings, the auspicious clouds drifted away and turned into strands of auspicious breath, falling like rain towards China.
In an instant, the evil spirits, filth, bad luck, old energy and other negative atmospheres that had accumulated on the earth for a year suddenly dissipated like water and snow.
Some of the breath spreads along the light beam toward each house.
Looking at the auspicious clouds above Shanngling Village, Lingqing suddenly activated his magic power to shake the altar.
"Buzz~"
With a soft chant, the altar trembled, and the treasure flags on the altar immediately made a sound.
"Huhuhu~"
The auspicious clouds falling in the sky fell on the altar like a dragon sucking water.
At the same time, Ling Qing pinched the Juling Seal, and the eight red inscriptions on the treasure flag shone brightly.
The breath that promotes the replacement of the old and the new, and the renewal of all things, is transformed into strands of golden and red silk threads coiled and flying under the binding of the treasure flags.
"Boom~"
Ling Qing split his hand and made a thunderous sound.
Immediately, the auspicious clouds and half of the golden and red silk threads collapsed, turning into an aura with auspiciousness, blessing, renewal and other meanings.
Chapter completed!
