Learn three ways of Dharma and practice three swordsmanship. It feels very powerful.
"Master, what should I learn next?"
I asked eagerly.
Master did not answer immediately, but asked me to kowtow to my ancestor and express my gratitude.
I said "Yeah" and kowtowed three more times to the Patriarch.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the sword. I will practice well and live up to my master's standards."
When Master saw me kowtow, he picked up three peach wood swords that had fallen on the ground.
He looked at it and then said to me:
"Xiao Qin, the Patriarch gave the sword three handles, corresponding to the five elements of gold, fire and wood.
From now on, you will cultivate these three magic swords and correspond to the three sword-opening talismans and seals..."
Master began to explain it to me in detail.
I have just started getting started. Although I read some books about the Five Elements and Bagua in the shop before, I still couldn’t understand it for a while.
After listening to the end, I finally understood the general idea.
This sword-giving ceremony to worship the ancestor actually depends on the attributes of the five elements that the initiate is suitable for cultivating.
When you learn to practice swordsmanship, you will use the talisman with that attribute to "open the sword".
Once the peach wood sword is opened, it can be used to deal with dirty things with twice the result and its power is doubled.
Under normal circumstances, a person basically only corresponds to one attribute of the five elements.
Rarely, there will be two types.
So it is very rare for me to have three attributes corresponding to myself.
According to Master, the more corresponding attributes of the five elements, the broader the learning path.
The five elements of heaven and earth, the five elements and the five laws.
Each attribute corresponds to a major category, and there are many spells and talismans.
If you are of water attribute, you are not suitable for learning fire attribute talismans.
If used forcefully, the effect will be greatly reduced.
On the contrary, if it corresponds to this five-element attribute.
Then after casting the same talisman, the power will increase.
The ancestor gave me three sword handles, indicating that I correspond to three attributes.
Then I can learn the three kinds of sword-opening talismans of gold, fire and wood, and the three kinds of wooden sword talismans.
Once I master the three sword-opening talismans, my strength will definitely be higher than those of the same level.
After listening to Master's explanation, I became even more surprised.
"Master, then you can teach me three kinds of sword-opening talismans!"
As long as I can learn real skills to make myself stronger and lay the foundation for extending my life, I will not miss it.
Master nodded:
"Okay, but you have to eat the food one bite at a time.
I happen to correspond to the fire element among the five elements.
I will teach you how to use the fire element to open the sword and use the talisman tonight!
After you learn it, I will teach you the other two lines."
I nodded repeatedly beside me, impatient.
The master asked me to get some paper and pen, and placed a very ordinary peach wood sword for sale on the table.
He said to me seriously:
"Xiao Qin! The reason why this peach wood sword can exorcise evil spirits and control the house is because it is extremely strong and yang.
If you see those evil spirits, you will avoid them.
But if you want to make the Taomu Sword more lethal, you have to use the Sword Opening Talisman.
Use charms to communicate with your own five elements.
The process of using your own Five Elements Qi to "attach" the peach wood sword is called opening the sword.
Today, my master, I will teach you how to use the fire element to open the sword and use the talisman."
"Okay Master."
I widened my eyes and nodded in response.
Remember every word Master said to me.
The master picked up the pen and continued:
"Look, listen clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the master was stained with cinnabar and began to draw talismans on the yellow talisman.
He chanted aloud in his mouth;
Pure and clear, with a low heart.
Look at the Nandou on the right and the Seven Stars on the left.
The gold-charactered urn indicates that you will be able to learn and practice well.
After the master finished reciting, the spell in his hand was just completed.
I silently recited the terminology that Master came up with when drawing the talisman and memorized it firmly.
Master, put down the cinnabar pen at this time.
Twist the sword-opening talisman and the ordinary mahogany sword next to it, and slide it onto the mahogany sword's body.
Then he chanted two words "open the sword".
As soon as he finished speaking, the drawn charm burned with a "buzz" sound and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
The mahogany sword in the master's hand, which was used for sale, did not appear to have changed at all.
But standing next to me, I could clearly feel a little warmth.
I carefully touched it with my hands.
Master didn't move either and let me touch him.
But when I touched it, I found this ordinary peach wood sword.
It actually had a temperature, as if it had just been roasted over fire.
I looked shocked and said to Master in surprise:
"hot!"
Master smiled and nodded:
"Yes, this is the effect after opening the sword.
It's okay for us to touch it, but if we touch dirty things, we will be burned in an instant.
Once you have completely mastered the sword-opening talisman and are proficient in it, you can knit your fingers to open the seal.
It doesn’t have to be so troublesome to draw symbols with your hand.
Now, try it yourself."
I took a deep breath and my heart surged.
I used to watch Uncle Jiu's movies and found that sometimes Uncle Jiu would touch the body of the peach wood sword with his sword fingerprints, and the power of the peach wood sword would become stronger.
I had just watched the fun before and thought it was for the show's effect, but I didn't expect there was real skill in it.
That action is to add magic to the Taomu Sword...
The master looked calm and put down the peach wood sword in his hand.
Flick it lightly with your finger.
The peach wood sword that was still warm just now suddenly cooled down and turned ice cold.
Although Master only showed off his skills, this is definitely his real ability.
I picked up the cinnabar pen and yellow paper and went through the essentials and movements that Master just said in my mind.
Then he picked up his pen and started drawing symbols...
