Chapter 10: The Chicken Leads the Way
Ninth Uncle smiled in relief when he saw how determined I was, so he taught me the introductory Taoist techniques, and the basic elements of drawing talismans.
In nature, there are five types of qi: wood, fire, water, earth, and gold, and all things are changed from these five types of qi. The so-called Taoist art is about borrowing these 'qi' from nature with certain techniques, and doing things that ordinary people cannot do. The most basic method of gathering qi in Taoist arts is to use charms. If you want to borrow nature's qi, you must first be able to practice qi, as if the human body is a container, ordinary people's bodies are a dead core of the bottle, can not hold qi, but the people who learn Taoism can do to empty the bottle, so as to borrow the external qi and improve their own cultivation.
Nine uncle told me after these reasons told me to remember, go back to practice. After all, this kind of spiritual cultivation is not an overnight thing, and then nine uncle and taught me how to practice the method of painting symbols, it turns out that the general learning Taoist painting symbols, generally have to bathe and purify the body, and to open the altar sacrifices to the gods. Then there are a lot of complicated procedures, and finally the five incantations. They are: pen spell, water spell, research spell, ink spell, and vermillion spell. After drawing the talisman, the tip of the pen up, the pen head down, with the whole body's energy concentrated in the pen, with the pen head hit the talisman paper for three times, and then use the vajra sword finger edict talisman, edict when the finger force, showing a kind of divine power has been attached to the talisman on the sense of majesty, and finally will have been drawn talisman paper, lifted around the stove smoke for three times, and so on, the talisman painting ceremony is considered to be completed.
Ninth uncle taught me the charm of the art is not so complicated, as long as the first to the sky after worship Lingbao Tianzun, and then start the pen spell, water spell, ink spell, after the completion of the drawing of the charm and then worship Lingbao Tianzun can be.
But it is simple to say, but it is much more difficult to do. With my small body now, it is really a ghost drawing.
Unconsciously, two days had passed, and I remembered almost everything, so I had a chat with Uncle Nine, listening to his life experience of demon slaying, and then I told him what the world was like outside now. I told him that the few telephones in their time, now called cell phones, were cordless. Uncle Nine was shocked, "A hand chicken?" I didn't hear what he was surprised about, and I told him again that young men and women out there now love to use computers, that is, computers to chat and play games on the Internet. It's very convenient to communicate. Ninth Uncle was surprised again after hearing this, "Computerized chickens? How is it that chickens nowadays can draw silk and make webs just like spiders?" I heard this joy in my heart, thinking that this old mountain gun. But I can't blame him, after all, he has been dead for forty to fifty years.
I held back my laughter and said to him, "Master, realize that this machine is not a chicken." Ninth Uncle still couldn't figure out this kind of high-tech stuff, and my ability to explain it was limited, so I had to laugh and skim over the matter, just then, a cock crowed. In this quiet seepage of the shadowy city is so ear-piercing, nine uncle looked at me, said with a smile: "Quickly go, this is to take you home yellow chicken."
I looked at Uncle Nine, I can't imagine that this old man is quite humorous. Sure enough a big yellow chicken came running from the north, visible from a great distance and getting bigger and bigger. I swear to God, I have never seen such a big chicken, it is as big as a horse.
Looking at the yellow chicken closer and closer to me, I looked back at Ninth Uncle, and suddenly had some reluctance to part with him. He saved me and taught me a lot of things in these ten days. I wondered what would happen to him if I left. I then asked him, "Master, what are your plans if I leave?"
Ninth Uncle looked at the 'One Step More' train station, smiled at me again, and said to me, "Now that I have my mind over it, of course I'm going to go where I should go."
The place that Ninth Uncle was referring to, in fact, anyone with a little brain understands where it is. I asked him again, "Will I see you again?"
Nine uncle looked at him in front of this only ten days of this little disciple, from inside the clothes out of a folded paper handed me and said to me: "will, this is my birth date, wait for you to go back to the road and then open, as long as your power to a certain realm, every month at the night of the fifteenth at the time of the ugliest, as long as the well water coated a mirror, and call my name after you can be meet with me in hell through the mirror."
By this time the big yellow chicken had run up to me and suddenly stopped, then I heard my father's voice coming back to me as he called my name.
At this time Ninth Uncle said to me, "Ride up quickly, if you don't go up after your family has shouted you nine times you will never be able to go back. It is the parting of the sudden sadness, I immediately fell to my knees, the nine uncle respectfully kowtowed three heads and then flew to jump on the big yellow chicken. At this time nine uncle I said to: "on your way back, there must be wandering spirits want to pull you down, remember, no matter what happens, do not turn back."
I sat on top of the yellow chicken, by this time my father had already called out my name eight times, seeing that I was going to leave, I cried out in tears and said to Uncle Nine, "Thank you! Master! Thank you for saving my life!!!" After that, my father's ninth call sounded, yellow chicken seems to don't something pulling began to run back quickly, I was feeling mixed feelings, but I don't dare to turn back, only to hear nine uncle's voice behind me: "Remember, don't turn back, go back to practice hard, don't use the magic spells to cheat people's money! Remember, clean yourself up!!!"
Ninth uncle's voice resounded in my ears, unconsciously these words of his were deep in my soul, and I did not forget them until later. I opened the piece of paper, only to see a few lines written on it: 'Wei Fengjiao, born at the ugly hour on the 27th day of the 12th month of the year Imjin.' I thought to myself no wonder this old man let me open this paper only on the way, this so feminine name is really too inconsistent with his image, the original this old man is afraid of losing face. I put the paper in my pocket.
I put that piece of paper in my pocket, then use both hands to hold this big yellow chicken, you do not say that this chicken ran really fast, fast to me can not see the things around, as if the stunt effect, I simply put both eyes closed, only to hear the sound of the wind and I brushed past.
"Little Fei, where are you going?" Suddenly my grandmother's voice came from behind me, I had a jolt in my heart, could it be that I've arrived? No, the yellow chicken hasn't stopped yet, maybe this is the trick that Ninth Uncle told me the wandering spirits use to try to pull me down. Can't turn back can't stop. Turning back would be ruined, so I pretended I didn't hear it.
After a while, the sound disappeared, I opened my eyes and found that I was no longer in the Yin City, the big yellow chicken is still running, the scene in front of me is somewhat similar to the countryside where we went out sketching, surrounded by a green, but there are no flowers, but there is an inexplicable floral aroma, this aroma seems to have a kind of magic, so that I have a kind of want to jump off the yellow chicken to look for the source of this aroma. I panicked and pulled my collar upwards to cover my nose. In my heart, I thought, "Shit, how come the road home is so uneventful.
I was afraid that something would happen again. The good thing is that this big yellow chicken is like a chicken blood, running or so soul, suddenly, the road in front of a person, I look, shit, this is not Yang Xu? He waved his arms and shouted at me: "Where have you been ah, we are waiting for you to drink it!" Said he blocked the way of the big yellow chicken, the big yellow chicken as if he did not see something in front of him, still in seventy yards of speed to continue to run, popped the sound of him knocked away. Yang Xu who was knocked away and dumped on the road behind me screamed miserably, "Cui Zuofei, save me!"
I did not ** him at all, hands clutching the big yellow chicken laughed loudly, "Save your mom save, chicken brother, bumped really fucking cool!" I probably understand, these wandering spirits probably can enter my brain, and then use my family and friend's to change out of the illusion. But the IQ of these wandering spirits is too low, don't they know what friends are for? Friends are for stepping on! Haha, besides, I know Yang Xu as well as a farmer's uncle knows a turd. How dare this yin-yang man block the car?
