My Taoist Career

The old man Jiang took a full 2 ​​hours of bathing this time, not to mention scrubbing carefully, he also specially shaved, tidied his hair, and soaked in hot water for an hour.

In the end, after the old man Jiang finished tidying up, he actually put on a Taoist robe, and his demeanor was completely different. Where did he look like he was molesting the old man?People who don't know take a closer look and think it is a middle-aged Taoist priest, and they give people a convincing feeling, and they will feel that this person has a lot of things in his belly.

"Move the table to the yard, I want to make incense!" Standing in the yard, old man Jiang said loudly.

Old man Jiang has given orders, how dare my parents neglect me?The two hurriedly carried out the square table in the middle of the main room, because they were in a hurry, the two were out of step, and almost fell into a fight, and saw their eagerness.

When the table was set, Old Man Jiang took the cloth bag he brought, pulled out a piece of yellow cloth from it, and spread it neatly on the table with a flick of his shoulders. My dad couldn't help shouting One sentence: "Good work."

The old man Jiang didn't care at all, he just turned his head and said to my dad: "When I do it later, don't yell. The way is about mind and heart. If you yell, I have broken my skills, so I will change it." You come to do this ritual."

How does my dad know how to do things?After being 'threatened' jokingly by the old man Jiang, he quickly shut up.

After Mr. Jiang told my mother to bring the things she asked her to prepare yesterday, he took out a small exquisite stove, a stack of gold paper, and famous incense from his bag, and arranged them in a special way.

Then he took out some small paper-cut objects, such as soldiers, generals, armored horses, etc., and arranged them in specific positions.

At this time, my mother brought a plate of steamed buns with red dots in the center, a plate of fruit (only green oranges), and a cup of tea for old man Jiang.

Old man Jiang put them away one by one, and finally took a bowl of clean water from my dad, and a simple altar was ready.

In fact, my master himself is a person who doesn't like the Dharma altar very much. He often keeps it simple. This is the difference between private inheritance and famous sects. He is a little random in many details.

As for those soldier vests, although he has sacrificed and refined them, but his strengths are not here, so he rarely uses them.

The main purpose of setting up the Dharma altar for my master is to show respect to the ancestors of Taoism, and one must be devout before worshiping.In addition, it is necessary to go to the watch before pinching the hand.

After the altar was set up, my master took out nine sticks of incense, lit them, bowed three times respectfully, and then inserted the incense into the altar.

Then, he paced slowly in the yard, finally selected a spot, and dug a small hole. After the small hole was dug, my master took out a handful of black and white stones from the cloth bag.

There is nothing special about these stones, but if you look carefully, they are very smooth, and there is a layer of old light that can only be produced by rubbing with your hands.

Holding stones in his hand, my master walked around, occasionally walked to a place, and dropped a stone. He walked through the yard and the room, and finally stopped in front of the courtyard gate, and dropped several stones in succession. a pebble.

After finishing these, my master walked back to the small hole dug just now, took out a copper coin, thought about it, and put it back.Then he took out another piece of roughly carved jade and thought about it for a while.

Finally, my master sighed and put the piece of jade into the pit.

Seeing this miraculous scene, my mother couldn't help asking my father in a very low voice: "What do you think Master Jiang is doing?"

My father happened to see an old Taoist doing similar things in someone else’s house when he was a child, and he replied to my mother in a very low voice: "When I was young, I heard from the old people in the village that this was setting up an formation."

In fact, my dad is not too sure. After all, God knows if he has real skills when I met that old man when I was a child, but this time he was really fooled. My master is just setting up a formation, a soul-locking formation.

Copper coins and jade are both one of my master's frightening and nurturing instruments. I finally chose jade because it is relatively gentle to use jade as the eye. Copper coins themselves are extremely harmful to ghosts and spirits. Too much has been passed around in people's hands, and the yang energy is too heavy!

Taoism generally persuades ghosts, exorcises ghosts, and suppresses ghosts, but it will not easily destroy ghosts. After all, the loss of souls is the most miserable thing in the world.

God has the virtue of good life, my master doesn't want to be too disobedient in the eyes of the formation, because the original intention of the formation is only to lock the lonely ghosts in this yard and prevent them from running away.

After setting up his eyes, the old man Jiang began to close his eyes and meditate. The whole person stood there feeling a little blurred. .

In just a short while, old man Jiang opened his eyes, and the moment he opened his eyes, his aura suddenly exploded, and then he made a handprint with both hands at a speed that my parents were dazzled and couldn't see clearly.

The handprints seemed very complicated to my parents. To use their words to describe it, it is impossible to see which finger is which finger, and know that the joints are intertwined and form a strange figure.

When the handprints were formed, the parents found that Jiang's mouth began to mutter words, speaking very fast, and very irregular phrases. What is on your mind.

Finally, the old man Jiang shouted for a while: "End the formation."

Immediately, my parents felt as if something had fallen in the formation where old man Jiang was.

To set up the formation, you must invite the commander to hold the formation. This is the key. The commander must cooperate with the Taoist exercises, mantras, formulas, and thoughts at the same time. Whether it can be successful or not depends on the skill of the formation.

The so-called running mantras are unique Taoist mantras, which are divided into "Zhu" and "Curse". "Zhu" blesses itself, while "Curse" is mostly used when performing exercises. Word of mouth, and the comprehension and explanation of the person who imparts it, is the most mysterious.

As for the formula, the handprint that old man Jiang made just now is also a kind of complicated kung fu. Ordinary people may not be able to form it even if their fingers are broken. unique verve.

To put it simply, Cunsi is to concentrate mental power and condense the thoughts in the mind. Just now, old man Jiang was asking for the commander of the formation, and the commanders of different formations are different. , Thinking in my mind, all the mental power must be tied to this commander, this is actually the application of ideas.

Inadvertently, Old Man Jiang showed my parents the real Taoist unique knowledge, the secret technique in the metaphysics mountain!

After forming the magic circle, old man Jiang withdrew his momentum, and he didn't look tired at all, his eyes were bright and calm, as if the soul lock circle was just a pediatrics.

After asking my mother for a sip of tea and swallowing it slowly, the old man Jiang walked up to the altar, took out a talisman pen, a box of cinnabar, and a stack of yellow talisman papers from his bag, but he did not see any movement.

But at this time, I in the house started to cry again. The old man Jiang gave a light sigh, turned to the direction where I was crying, made a tactic with his hands, tapped the center of his eyebrows, and slowly closed his eyes. It took a long time Open it again.

This time, the old man Jiang's expression showed a little tiredness, and he just said: "There is such a fierce thing? I didn't open my eyes yesterday, so I didn't notice it. Seeing that I am forming a battle, why not?" Are you going to fight back like crazy?"

Old man Jiang's babbling was a normal voice, of course my parents who stood aside heard it, and the mood that was relaxed at first became tense again.

But the old man Jiang was not nervous, walked to the altar, and put the stack of yellow talisman papers back into his bag. This time he took out a few blue talisman papers, and his expression became a little bit Calm down.

After recovering from the exhaustion just now, the old man Jiang asked my mother for a small plate, and carefully adjusted the cinnabar.

After the cinnabar was adjusted, Old Man Jiang put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes again, and muttered something.

This time, what he recited was just the general formula for calming the mind and clearing the heart. It was nothing extraordinary, but before drawing the talisman, the most important thing was to keep the mind as calm as water and complete it in one go.

After all the preparations were done, the old man Jiang picked up the talisman brush that had been dipped in cinnabar, took a deep breath, and then wrote down decisively. That tone.

In order to avoid distraction, writing talismans is usually done by chanting mantras, holding the breath without vomiting, and the emphasis is on the effort of completing it in one breath. During this process, the power of thought is transmitted from the talisman pen to the talisman paper. Use special formulas for Jiesha or Luoshen to endow a talisman with 'life', or understand it as activating the talisman.

Drawing talismans is old man Jiang's forte. Although it is a blue talisman, it is not too difficult. After the talisman is drawn, old man Jiang puts down the talisman pen, but does not move the talisman. He just waits for it to be placed on the table. Let it dry quietly.
