Chapter 60 Learning Talismans
The master counted the money very quickly.
10,000 yuan, "swish, swish, swish" was all ordered in a short time.
Seeing me standing nearby, he took out five hundred yuan and handed it to me:
"Xiao Qin! Take this."
I looked at the five hundred yuan handed over by Master and said with some surprise:
"Master, what is this?"
Master said with a smile:
"You are my apprentice and also my employee.
You just resigned there, so you probably don't have much left.
This five hundred yuan will be used as a living allowance, and you can occasionally bring me breakfast or something!"
Master Yun Danfeng spoke softly, and when I heard it, I felt a little touched in my heart.
I came to this big city alone to make a living, did a lot of work, and endured a lot of hardships.
I have tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
The bosses are eager to squeeze out all their employees and deduct whatever they can.
Master is like me, so he asked me to work to pay off my debts and work for him.
In fact, he saved my life, but in disguise, he offered me a high salary.
I've only been working for a few days, and you found a reason to give me a subsidy. He's really kind.
After getting along with him for a few days, I felt that this old guy had a really good heart.
Not only is he truly capable, he is not arrogant.
He also has his own set of rules of conduct.
Do your best to help those in need.
He also showed no mercy to the wealthy and evil-minded people.
And protect the calf.
I feel like staying with him is actually a very wise choice.
"Thank you, thank you Master!"
Master just smiled:
"Put it away. I'm in a good mood today as a teacher. I'll teach you some real skills."
When I heard that Master was going to teach me real skills, I became excited:
"Great Master, what do you want to teach me?"
The master picked up the pen and yellow paper he had just used to draw the symbols, and said quietly:
"Teach you how to draw a Taoist talisman. You see clearly, I will only draw it once!"
My eyes widened and I nodded repeatedly.
After saying that, the master did not hesitate and stained some cinnabar ink:
The pen fell onto the yellow paper and he muttered in a low voice:
"Tai Shang Tai Xing is constantly adapting to changes.
Exorcise evil spirits and bind evil spirits, protect life and body.
Wisdom is clear and the mind is peaceful.
The three souls are eternal, and the soul is never lost."
Master writes like a dragon and a snake, from beginning to end, in one go.
After reciting the incantation, a talisman has been drawn.
After finishing the painting, Master put down the ink pen!
He picked up the yellow talisman and said to me:
"This is the simplest evil-suppressing talisman seal.
When drawing talisman, you must be calm, sincere and clear-minded.
Don’t regret it once you start writing, and finish it in one go.
You follow what I just read and draw a line and I'll take a look."
I have read what Master just said in "The Encyclopedia of Talisman and Seal Script" before, and I have some impressions of it.
At this moment, I whispered a few words in my mouth silently, and barely remembered it.
He nodded and took the cinnabar pen and a brand new piece of yellow paper.
I took a few deep breaths but still didn’t start writing.
In my mind, I kept digesting what Master said, with a calm mind, a sincere heart, and a clear mind.
The master didn't rush me, he just stood beside me with his pipe in his mouth, struck a match and lit it.
I adjusted for two or three minutes, repeating in my mind the movements and painting techniques that Master had just done.
Finally, I took a deep breath and looked at the yellow paper with great concentration.
Start writing according to the spell drawn by the master.
As soon as I started writing, Master's eyes glanced over.
Although my speed is not as fast as his, I still learn well.
He also muttered in a low voice: There are stars in the sky, there is no end to the emergency...
From the beginning of the symbol to the end, it is done in one go.
After drawing this talisman, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like I had sprinted for 100 meters, and my breathing was a little short.
But he didn’t know what was good or bad, so he looked at the master next to him:
"Master, what do you think of my painting?"
But the master next to me grabbed me and drew the charm.
He showed a hint of surprise and said:
"Not bad, your boy is really good at eating this bowl of rice.
The first time I drew the talisman, I asked you to draw it, hahaha..."
When I heard what Master said, I looked surprised.
Master approves of my appearance.
Let me continue to draw according to the talisman. I need to close my eyes and follow the drawing.
I said "hmm", picked up the pen and continued drawing.
But then I drew two more lines, but they both failed.
Every time I get to the end of the painting, I feel like I'm feeling stuffy in my chest.
The curse either left stains or failed to be completed in one go.
After five draws in a row, only three were successful.
Finally, I felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and I was out of breath for no apparent reason.
Master said that the reason why I am like this is because I don’t have enough Qi.
Drawing symbols is not a simple imitation.
It is necessary to achieve "calm mind, sincerity, and clear heart", and be enlightened and full of energy.
Immediately afterwards, Master also taught me a breathing method of three long and three short.
When I have nothing to do, I always follow this method.
As time goes by, the energy will be enough.
Then I wouldn't be like me now, where I start to feel tight and weak after drawing four or five talismans.
I remember every word of Master.
After resting for a while, I drew the talisman in the shop again.
But the success rate is only around thirty or forty.
But even so, Master is very satisfied with my performance.
He kept praising me.
Saying that I have wisdom, his disciple is not wrong or anything.
There was not much business this afternoon.
I practiced in the shop all afternoon.
Although I am just drawing symbols, it is really tiring to draw this thing.
Obviously I just drew dozens of talismans, but when I got off work, I was even more tired than when I worked the night shift...
