This heavenly master is not serious - Chapter 441 Immortal Bones Turned into Ink
Inside the Tianshi Mansion.
Xu Yang drank tea, ate snacks, and waited patiently.
Suddenly, Xu Yang’s expression changed slightly.
He raised his head and looked far into the depths of the Tianshi Mansion, and vaguely felt a force coming from somewhere. He couldn’t help but laugh, and secretly thought: “It seems that these old guys in the Tianshi Mansion can’t make up their mind. I went to ask Patriarch Zhang Daoling for advice.”
Waited another 20 minutes or so.
Zhang Jiyu hurried over holding a golden nanmu box.
The golden nanmu box is engraved with Taoist inscriptions, and there are also exquisite carvings on it, giving it a sense of age at first glance.
“Master Xu Tian.”
Zhang Jiyu opened the box, took out an ancient book, and said: “I have discussed it with all the ancestors. With your current cultivation and realm, Xu Tianshi, the [Three-hole Dharma Ribbon] is not of much use to you, but there is another place in my Tianshi Mansion.” There are [Twenty-Fourth Grade Dharma Ribbon], which are the twenty-four kinds of immortal Taoist talismans compiled by the ancestor before his ascension. I hope it can be helpful to you, Xu Tianshi. It can also be regarded as something that our Longhushan Tianshi Mansion has done for the human world. It’s as little as I can do.”
Xu Yang solemnly took over the ancient book.
But on the cover of the ancient book, there are ten big characters written “Zhengyimengwei 24th Grade Dharma Ribbon”, and in the lower right corner there are three small characters “Zhang Daoling” and the seal of “Yang Ping Zhi Du Gong Seal”.
The [Yang Ping Zhi Du Gong Seal] of Longhu Mountain is the same as the [Tai Shang Jing Ming Dharma Master Seal] of Jing Ming Dao. Gongyin] has a greater origin.
There are many folklores about “Zhang Daoling”.
It is said that Zhang Daoling once received a message from “Tai Shang Lao Jun” in his dream. This [Yang Ping Zhi Du Gong Seal] and the [Three Five Evil Slaying Male and Female Swords] passed down from generation to generation in Longhu Mountain [Tianshi Mansion] are Tai Shang Lao Jun. taught.
Xu Yang opened the [Zhengyi League Wei Twenty-Fourth Grade Dharma Barrel].
On the first page, the talisman recorded is called “Evil-killing Talisman”.
The origin of Taoist talismans can be traced back to the ancient witchcraft. According to legend, the “spells” in the talismans are actually the blessings of “shamans” in ancient times when they offered sacrifices to the gods.
Taoists believe that talismans are the secret magic weapon that communicates between humans and gods, so they cannot be drawn casually. They must master the essentials and methods. Therefore, there is a widely circulated saying among Taoists, which is: If you don’t know how to draw talismans, you will cause trouble. The ghosts and gods laugh; if you know how to draw the talisman, the ghosts and gods will scream in surprise.
There are hundreds of ways to draw talisman. Some require making secrets, remembering the gods and writing them down, while others require walking and fighting, reciting incantations… They are very particular about laying out paper, studying ink, and handling pens.
The purpose is to communicate with the gods through the medium of “talisman”, to control the gods and drive away ghosts, to pray for blessings and disasters, to cure diseases and save people, and to suppress evil and drive away evil spirits.
The composition of Taoist talismans can be roughly divided into five parts: the talisman head, the talisman belly, the talisman gall, the talisman foot, and the talisman tail.
Xu Yang carefully studied the “Zhengyi Alliance Twenty-Fourth Grade Dharma Ribbon”. In addition to the “Evil-killing Talisman” recorded on the first page, there is also a lot of basic knowledge about “Talk”. These things are from the ancestor Zhang Daoling. The handwriting he left before his ascension recorded his life’s hard work and insights on “Fu Tao”.
However, Xu Yang became more and more confused as he watched.
Ah this…
What are they all about?
“Since ancient times, each sect has worshiped different ancestors on the talisman heads, so they are also different. The symbols seen on many talisman heads are different and have different meanings. Some represent the founders of the Three Qing Dynasties, and some represent the three realms. Public (land, city god, ancestor)…the talisman head is an edict. If it is a talisman to kill evil, it is the god who kills people. If it is to pray for wealth, it is the God of Wealth…”
“The talisman is the soul of a talisman. Whether a talisman can fully exert its effectiveness depends to a large extent on whether there is a talisman guarding it.”
Xu Yang: “???”
He was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “Is Zhang Tianshi good at Talisman Dao?”
Zhang Jiyu was stunned and didn’t understand why Xu Yang asked this. He smiled and said: “Pindao has studied Talisman Tao before, but he is definitely not as good as you, Xu Tianshi. I can only say that he understands it slightly.”
Xu Yang thought for a while and then asked: “What is Tianshi Zhang’s understanding of Futou and Fudan?”
Zhang Jiyu looked thoughtful.
Xu Yang’s talent in Talisman Dao is well known to everyone in Daxia Taoism. Although Zhang Jiyu thinks he is proficient in Talisman Dao, he cannot compare with Xu Yang, so Zhang Jiyu thinks that Xu Yang is “testing” himself. The talisman.
He thought carefully and expressed his understanding of “Tao”.
Seeing Xu Yang’s thoughtful expression, Zhang Jiyu asked carefully: “Master Xu Tianshi, did I say something wrong?”
“No no.”
Xu Yang came back to his senses and said quickly: “Master Zhang, lend me this [Zhengyimengwei 24th Grade Dharma Ribbon] for a month to study, and I will return it after one month.”
The ancestors had already spoken, so Zhang Jiyu would not refuse to borrow it.
Xu Yang quickly left the Tianshi Mansion and flew directly to Wucheng. He came to Wucheng’s “National Service Hand-made Food Restaurant”, which is a time-honored “halal” restaurant. Although it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was still possible because of the The “Hui people” here in Wucheng do not have the habit of celebrating the New Year, so most of the “halal” restaurants are open, and business is more prosperous than usual.
Time-honored restaurants like “Guofu Hands-on Gourmet Restaurant” hold wedding banquets almost every day. That is to say, Xu Yang booked it for the evening, and it has a good reputation. Otherwise, if people in the 70s or 80s come to eat, they may not be able to book it.
As soon as Xu Yang arrived, he sensed Niu Pang’s aura approaching Wucheng quickly.
soon.
Niu Pang, Ma Long, Thunder God, Lightning Mother, Clairvoyant, Shunfeng Er, Kui Mulang and other twenty-eight constellation immortals and many other gods all landed at the door of the hotel.
Xu Yang went out and greeted him personally.
The first floor of the hotel is very large, with more than a dozen tables, and 72 gods, Ma Long, and Niu Pang. Counting Xu Yang, there are only 75 “people” in total. When everyone sat down, Xu Yang called the kitchen to serve the food.
The dishes were ordered according to the standards of a wedding banquet. Each table had eighteen dishes, a combination of hot and cold meat and vegetables, a white fungus soup, and a sweet glutinous rice.
Before everyone moved their chopsticks, Xu Yang stood up and raised his glass in a toast.
After toasting, Xu Yang opened his mouth to tell the news he had received from Lord Cui.
“What?”
“More than three hundred living planets have been sacrificed to blood?”
“How many people will die?”
“Damn Jiuyou Monster…”
The immortals were extremely angry, and the clairvoyant people even slapped the table and stood up, saying: “Master Xu Tianshi, what should we do? Just say something, and we will go through fire and water, even if we die!”
The immortals stood up and expressed their opinions one after another.
Even Shunfeng Er kept saying “Aba, Aba”.
Xu Yang said: “More than three hundred life planets have been sacrificed by blood. The power of the blood sacrifice has been transmitted back to the Nine Netherworld space and time, greatly increasing the power of the Nine Nether Blood Sea. The Blood Emperor has the possibility of escaping at any time… According to what I know You know, all the Nine Nether Demons in the world are now gathered in the three major human realms of Xuanhuang, Kunlun and Yuanjie, and they are trying to make blood sacrifices to these three realms.”
“What?”
Kui Mulang said in shock: “Xuanhuang Realm, Kunlun Realm and Yuan Realm are the three human realms closest to the heavens. They have profound heritage. Many powerful immortals have been born and many immortal traditions have been left behind. Six hundred years of human history The isolation between heaven and man has not affected these three realms, but the Nine Nether Demons actually attacked these three realms at the same time. It seems that the Nine Nether Demon Clan had a lot of Nine Nether Demons who smuggled into the human world back then!”
Lei Gong said: “Each of these three realms is vast and has a population of hundreds of billions… If the Nine Nether Demon Clan really succeeds and sacrifices blood to these three realms, I am afraid that they will immediately It can provide enough power for the Blood Emperor…”
He looked at Xu Yang and seemed to understand what Xu Yang meant, and asked: “Master Xu asked us here. Could it be that he wants us to take action and secretly assist the three realms?”
Xu Yang smiled and said: “This is not my intention, but His Majesty’s. His Majesty demoted you to the mortal world, but did not cut off your immortal bones. He even asked you to bring all the magic weapons to the human world. Isn’t this intention obvious enough?”
The immortals looked at each other.
Lei Gong was surprised and said: “Why didn’t your Majesty say anything? He gave a direct decree, and we can kill the three major realms immediately.”
“Abba aba, ba ba ba, ah ah ah!”
Shunfeng Er stood up and said after a moment, Balabala.
The immortals all looked at the clairvoyant, and the clairvoyant translated: “What Lao’er means is, how can I blatantly break the heavenly rules set by your majesty? Now that we have been deprived of our immortal status and demoted to the mortal world, naturally we cannot He is considered a person from the heavenly realm, so taking action now will naturally not be considered a violation of heavenly rules.”
A god asked when we should set off.
Xu Yang said: “There is no need to rush this matter. Let’s take a long-term plan. The three major realms have profound foundations. If they were to be breached, they would have been breached long ago. Let’s eat the food first…the food is going to be cold!”
On the dinner table.
Xu Yang suggested that everyone wait for seven more days.
“In these seven days, I will rush out a batch of Taoist talismans. Maybe I can help a little.”
“In seven days, I plan to go to the Western Hell… When I come back from the Western Hell, I will go to the three realms to join you.”
After dinner.
Xu Yang asked Malong District to book a hotel and temporarily accommodate the seventy-two gods.
He returned home, contacted the old man, and said: “Grandpa, I borrowed the [Zhengyi League Wei 24th Grade Dharma Ribbon] from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and I want to learn the Taoist talismans recorded on it, but The quality of the talisman paper and talisman ink in my hand is somewhat poor, and it is difficult to perfectly carry the power of this level of Taoist talismans. Grandpa, you know many people in the Taoist sect, can you help me find some good talisman paper and talisman ink?”
On the other end of the phone, Xu Zhiyuan said: “The [Zhengyi Alliance Twenty-Fourth Grade Dharma Barrel] of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is said to be the twenty-four kinds of Immortal Grade Dharma Urn compiled by the Patriarch Zhang Daoling before his ascension. It can carry immortals.” I’m afraid it’s hard to find the talisman paper and talisman ink used in the Falu in the human world… Grandson, you have a good relationship with Taoist Chengming, maybe you can ask him.”
“That’s right. Why did I forget about this old immortal?”
Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.
In addition to Chengming Daojun, there are also princes.
Although the Spirit Management Bureau has not been established for a long time, it is backed by the country after all. It has also excavated many “secret ruins” over the years. Some of the resources and treasures it possesses are no greater than those of Taoist sects such as Longhu Mountain and Maoshan that have been passed down for thousands of years. Send a mission.
Early the next morning, Xu Yang got up early, prepared gifts, and went to Zongsheng Palace.
Today is February 10, 2024, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The heavy snowfall on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month has not yet melted in the mountains and fields.
Today, it has not snowed in Wucheng, but it is snowing here in Xi’an.
Xu Yang came to Zongsheng Palace and took out the prepared gifts.
Chengming Zhenjun smiled from ear to ear and said, “You finally have a conscience and haven’t forgotten this bad old man like me… Over the past few hundred years, fewer and fewer people have come to pay New Year’s greetings to me, old man.”
Xu Yangxin said, if it weren’t for looking for talisman paper and talisman ink, no ghost would be willing to come to your place during the Chinese New Year.
But on the surface, he said some auspicious words, which made Lord Chengming laugh continuously.
He was really happy to see the old Taoist priest, and Xu Yang explained his purpose.
The old Taoist priest was not surprised at all. He deliberately scolded with a straight face: “I know you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing… I heard that you went to Longhu Mountain yesterday. Could it be that you borrowed [Zhengyimeng] The powerful twenty-fourth grade Dharma basket]?”
Xu Yang chuckled and said: “The old man is really a clever man.”
“It’s all a fool’s errand!”
True Lord Chengming stared and said, “Yesterday, a disciple from our Zongsheng Palace happened to go to Longhu Mountain, and he saw you entering the Tianshi Mansion.”
After scolding a few words, the old Taoist priest said: “Our Zongsheng Palace does have some high-quality talisman paper and talisman ink that can withstand the power of the immortal talismans. Unfortunately, our Zongsheng Palace’s inheritance of talismans is not very good. , those talisman papers and talisman inks have been left in Daozang Hall to eat dust all these years, please wait a moment, I have sent a message to the disciples to get them.”
soon.
The headmaster of Zong Sheng Palace sent talisman paper and talisman ink.
There are three altars of talisman ink. According to the words of an old Taoist priest, these three altars of talisman ink are valuable. The main material is grinded from immortal bones. There are also eight large bundles of talisman paper. One bundle should contain thousands of sheets. Each piece can be cut into 10 pieces suitable for drawing symbols.
Xu Yang put away the talisman paper and talisman ink and thanked him.
Chengming Zhenjun said again: “The boy from now on dug out a secret ruins a few years ago. The owner of the secret ruins was once a Taoist talisman master, and he collected many fine talisman papers and talisman inks. It’s just that Maybe something went wrong in his cultivation during the process of proclaiming himself. If you go to Baihua Mountain, you might be able to get a batch of talisman paper and ink.”
Naturally, Xu Yang would not let this opportunity go.
He came to Baihua Mountain, found the prince, and explained his purpose.
The prince said: “There is indeed a jar of talisman ink and two bundles of talisman paper stored in the treasure house of the Spirit Management Bureau. So… I will call my former secretary and assistant and ask them to send the talisman paper and talisman ink.”
Although the prince resigned and retired.
However, his influence within the Spiritual Management Bureau is still as strong as before.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost 99% of the top management of the Spirit Management Bureau were trained and promoted by him, and they naturally obeyed the prince’s words.
A phone call from him.
20 minutes later, the talisman paper and ink were delivered.
After Xu Yang got the talisman paper and ink, he didn’t stop and returned to Wucheng immediately.
After having lunch at home, he said: “Ladies and gentlemen, I plan to retreat for seven days and concentrate on studying the Tao of Talismans… During these seven days, no matter who comes to me, I will ask them to wait. After seven days, I will leave the retreat on time and take the Ladies, go to the Western Hell and become immortals!”
