Chapter 12: The Usefulness of Spiritual Awareness
Master saw my shock and said: "A peace charm can block many things, I can't use the art of changing your life against the sky to add longevity to your Uncle Li, but a peace charm can make him disease-free, painless, accident-free, very smooth, this is also a means of saving life, the general peace charm can only resolve some small troubles, but the big effect of the peace charm can indeed be used for a long time, blocking many bad things, I want to draw a peace charm that is not against the sky, but very against the sky to give you Uncle Li." ()”
I'm a little silent, silver talisman, is Master sure? Actually, I know that the relationship between their brothers and sisters is extremely deep.
However, Master did not need me to comment on what he was doing, so I pondered for a while, and simply did not dwell on this topic, but said to Master, "Master, why do you have to mix precious stone powder or something like that into the cinnabar?" ”
"Gemstone powder? If you ask me why, I really don't have a big theoretical basis to tell, after all, I once said that some things are just handed down from my ancestors, and I just want to do it, but I won't go into details. But there is one thing you can think about, know the warlocks of the West? Or they are called magicians, when they exert their skills and communicate with the aura of the five elements, they need a magic staff, and the head of the staff is often a gem, the better the quality, the purer the better, the bigger the better, what do you think about this? Master looked at me with burning eyes.
I looked up and said, "Maybe a gemstone can better gather the aura and amplify this effect?" ”
Indeed, the talisman is ever-changing, and the functions are also complex, but a large part of the talisman works, either in the condensation of the aura, or in the dispersion of the aura, the reason why cinnabar is the first choice for drawing talismans, the reason is because cinnabar has an inexplicable fusion of the aura.
To put this thing in a nutshell, for example, the thing painted by cinnabar, the red is so dazzling, eye-catching, and even after looking at it for a long time, there will be a feeling of wanting to escape, and even dizziness. It's a feeling of being affected, something that no red pigment can achieve.
Some things are explained as simple as that, but they are also subtle, not to be spoken, only to be understood.
Master heard my opinion on gemstones and said, "Well, that's a good understanding, so why is it so hard for everyone to resist a gemstone that is a stone?" Do you like it? It is not given the value of money like gold, but it is also held up to the sky, is it because it is scarce? Apparently not! Are there all kinds of rare ores? Can you really like those things? Apparently not! This is the aura of the gemstone itself that affects humans. ”
"Well, that's true, but Master, I want the iron to have an aura." I'm serious.
"Why?" The master felt inexplicable, he was originally going to drink, but when he heard what I said, he stopped drinking, and the hand holding the bottle stopped directly in mid-air.
"Because women love gemstones, that thing is so expensive, if I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, what if she wants me to give me a ring with such a big gem?" I gestured a half-fist-sized pattern with my hand, then sighed and said, "If it's iron, I'll have no problem with her hanging all over her body." ”
This question is really annoying, I'm not a rich person, looking at the master like that, I don't think I will have much money in the future, if that's the case, I can't ask Chengzhen to borrow money in the future? Xiangzimai is the richest.
The master looked at me stunned for a long time, and suddenly kicked over the stool under my buttocks, I didn't react, and fell directly to the ground, and the master scolded and said: "***, dare to look down on the mountain word vein, cry poor, right?" ”
I didn't cry poorly, but now my butt hurts and I'm crying.
After returning from Tianjin, Master entered a state of retreat, and he had to draw such a symbol, which was indeed a big burden.
In another city, Chengxin has been coming to my door a lot recently, 4 or 5 times a month, and each time he comes to deliver some pills.
Some of these pills replenish qi and blood, and some nourish the spirit and dedication, all of which are used to replenish the master.
As for Cheng Zhen, he also came here and sent a lot of money, which means that during this time, the precious ingredients were used by my master according to the recipe prescribed by Uncle Chen, so there is no need to worry about the money.
I know that this is a few of their brothers and sisters, united, and determined to make a peace talisman for Uncle Li.
I couldn't help much, but I became more and more attentive in my practice, and I felt that my strength was really low, and I couldn't share it with Master until now.
A month later, the affairs of my school are basically over, and the defense has been successfully passed, and in the past month, Master's achievements have also been enriched.
The yellow symbol is 20.
The blue symbol is 7 sheets. (In addition to the 5 tickets bought, Master also has two that he saved before)
Purple symbols form 3 pieces.
All that's left is the silver talisman.
On this day, the master called me to me very seriously: "Sanwa'er, you are my disciple, do you know where your greatest talent is?" ”
"I know, I have a strong sense of spirituality, but I don't think it's useful except to open my eyes." I spoke.
Indeed, I think that in addition to being able to open the eyes of the sky, it is really not very useful, the tricks, the drawing symbols, the formations, these all depend on the accumulation of time, to learn carefully, to comprehend, to improve the skill, not to trick at all.
"Wrong, I teach you things step by step, starting from the basics, but there are some things, if I have the heart to teach you, you are luckier than too many people, you will get started quickly." Master said very seriously.
"Then why don't you teach me?" I'm a little dissatisfied, and I don't understand what this master is thinking.
"Just because you are too young and your heart is not yet mature, teaching you is like a metaphor I once gave you, like putting a knife in a child's hand, you know?" Master told me very seriously.
"I'm not a bad person!" I don't like to hear this, and I can't help but have a bit of impulsiveness and anger in my words.
"Of course, this has something to do with good and bad, but in fact, what I'm worried about is not this, but because you are still inexperienced, what if you are taken advantage of by someone with a heart? And what if you get impulsive and don't think about the consequences? You know, there are a lot of taboos in my metaphysical lineage, and if you are not careful, you will be contaminated with cause and effect, and you will regret it. And the damage caused, maybe sometimes more powerful than a bomb, forgot about the Hungry Ghost Tomb? "Master is very serious this time, more serious than ever.
I looked down and thought about it, but I also knew that what Master said was serious, just like when I fought everywhere in the streets and alleys of Beijing, if I was angry, maybe I would use what I learned to harm others? Is it useful to regret it afterwards?
Not to mention anything else, after I hurt others, I myself will also suffer a strong backlash of cause and effect, plus I am a child
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, Master let me go during that time, wasn't it a test of my heart? At that time, I didn't know any great spells, but if I had the heart to lure a wandering ghost, I could do it
But I didn't, and I went through that time!
Also, Master is really protective of me, what if I know how to use a less troublesome spell at all?
Fortunately, after going through so much, my heart is probably sharpened better, at least not like before, as soon as others provoke, I will impulsively want to fight.
"See what I mean?" Master saw that my face was turning pale, so he asked.
"Master, I understand, in those years, what you said to me about practicing the mind, now I really understand." Yes, a transparent pebble will always be transparent in the stream, but what if you throw it into the ink? After picking it up, if you can still wash away the dirt and return to transparency, this can be regarded as a fixed mind.
Master is really well-intentioned, and after years of enduring distress and pressure, he also let me practice!
This is a kind of harshness of Taoism, but it is also unavoidable. Of course, there are some pulses that are not focused on nature and only seek the purpose, so they cannot be counted in them.
"Now that you know, I can tell you what is the importance of spiritual awareness! At least there are a few very powerful and very important means of Taoism, and Lingjue is the most critical, and the skills of these means can still be ranked behind, as long as they can bear it. Master said lightly.
"What is it?" I couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"It's like asking for divine magic, just like the art of the upper, middle and lower three Mao!" Master said seriously.
I was shocked all of a sudden, I had seen the master perform the tricks of the grass, it was so powerful, but the master had never told me about these techniques in detail, and even the books about these techniques were carefully put away, I see!
Am I naturally better suited to practice these techniques?
