I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 116 Symbols (Happy New Year's Eve to everyone)

Hearing that his son wanted to wait for him to go back later, Chen Zhonghua and Jiang Meixian looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

They came to Liuyuan County to look for Chen Hai. Their main purpose was to inform Chen Hai that he had been admitted to a university.

For them, their son's admission to university is the best reward for them.

No matter how hard and tiring they are on weekdays, they will only feel that it is worth it.

In a few days, it will be the day when their family will serve wine for Chen Hai to go to university, and in a few more days, at the end of this month, Chen Hai will have to leave for Kyoto.

If you don't find Chen Hai and tell him these things, Chen Zhonghua and his wife won't feel relieved at all.

What if my son never goes back and misses going to college, so what should I do!

"Xiao Hai, what else do you want to buy? We'll go there with you!" After a moment of silence, the husband and wife nodded, and Jiang Meixian spoke.

"Some items like yellow paper and cinnabar, I make money in the county, all rely on these!"

"Dad, Mom, I let you go back first because I was afraid that you would not be able to wait."

"If you're not in a hurry and go shopping with me, there's no problem!"

Chen Hai nodded and responded.

It's just to buy something, and it's not to do bad things. There is nothing he can't let his parents know.

"Yellow paper again, cinnabar again?"

"Xiao Hai, you are going to be a college student soon, and if you still do these things, don't you be afraid that others will say that you practice feudal superstition, and won't you be allowed to enter the university?"

Displeased, Jiang Meixian warned Chen Hai with a straight face.

"Mom, don't worry, I do things properly!"

"I just want to see if I can earn back the tuition money by getting these things."

"I really want to go to Kyoto to go to university, I must be honest!"

With a hippie smile, Chen Hai quickly explained.

To be admitted to university by myself is what my parents have always expected of me.

But he knew that he really didn't have much talent in reading.

On the other hand, when it comes to matters such as Taoism cultivation, he has a lot of whimsical ideas in his head, and he can easily immerse himself in the world of Taoism.

However, it is enough for Chen Hai to be clear about this kind of thing, and he will definitely not really say it in front of his parents.

"I read your notification letter. The tuition fee of your school is only 200 yuan."

"You have already put 4000 yuan in my place, and you have already earned back that little tuition fee!"

"If you really lack money, your dad and I will find a way, and you can just go to school with peace of mind!"

Still pouted, Jiang Meixian complained with a displeased face.

"Mom, don't worry about me. Kyoto is the capital, and it's expensive there. I'll make more money and put it in my hands. There's no harm in it!"

"You are my son, I don't worry about you, who cares about you!"

"Mom, I'll just do some shopping and go home. I won't go anywhere until I go to school in Kyoto. I'll just stay at home every day. That's okay!"

……

Although she was nagging, but in terms of actions, Jiang Meixian didn't act too aggressively.

Chen Hai had paid special attention to the shops selling fragrant paper wax before, and there were two near Wenchang Pavilion where he was now, a little past, near the Yuanjiang Wharf.

The price of cinnabar is not bad, but the yellow paper is not expensive, but the talisman pen cost Chen Hai a full 30 yuan.

According to the shop owner, this pen is made of real wolf hair.

Of course, whether it is true or not, there is no way to know.

Seeing Chen Hai coming out of the scented paper wax shop carrying big and small bags, Jiang Meixian naturally babbled again.

To this, Chen Hai didn't refute, but just pretended to be silly and laughed twice.

When the family returned to Chenjiaping's house in Wuyang Town, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

A few days later, it will be the day when Chen Hai is admitted to university and serves drinks.

They have to pick up the cook, and they also need to find helpers. Chen Zhonghua, Jiang Meixian, and Chen Zhonghua have a lot of things to do.

As soon as they got home, the two went out again immediately.

As for Chen Hai, he went back to his room, found those few pages of broken books, and began to ponder slowly.

In Liuyuan County, when he lived in a hostel, he actually took out those few pages to read.

It's a pity that, after pondering over and over again, he still has only a half-knowledge of those paragraphs of text.

Staying in his room, he tossed and read the contents of the few pages of the fragmented book several times.

If he didn't understand the meaning, that's all. He was still a little dizzy.

"The ancients said that only by practicing can the truth emerge. How about I try to draw a few times according to the pattern of the Taoist talisman on the page?"

Frowning, Chen Hai thought silently.

Among the two types of dao talismans on the page, the filthy talisman is only suitable for drawing at noon.

Because of that time period, between the heaven and the earth, the yang energy is the most violent.

If the filthy talisman is successfully drawn, it will absorb a trace of violent yang energy and store it in the Taoist talisman. Only in this way, this kind of Taoist talisman will have the miraculous effect of eradicating the filth in the world.

It is already past four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it is not suitable for Chen Hai to draw dirty talismans.

It is another kind of corpse talisman, which is barely suitable for drawing in this time period.

Frowning, after a long silence, Chen Hai stood up.

He went to the main room outside and took a look. Before his parents came back, he moved a small dirty square table at home into his room.

When drawing talismans, an altar is generally set up to perform sacrifices, which is the so-called "general altar style".

Under normal circumstances, three cups each of fruit, tea, and wine are used to serve on the altar as an altar.

Chen Hai is a savage, and the ceremony before drawing the talisman was perfunctory.

On the orange tree in front of the house, he picked three sour green oranges.

He picked out some of the leftovers from yesterday at home for refreshment.

As for the wine, he scooped a ladle of cold water out of the tank, found three small wine glasses, and poured a little each.

Before drawing amulets, one needs to purify one's mind, body, face and hands.

In this regard, Chen Hai did a good job. He took a few minutes to take a cold shower before returning to the simple altar he had set up.

He concentrated and calmed down, cast away distracting thoughts, and let his expression become focused.

Pen and ink, yellow paper, cinnabar, etc., were all ready when he moved the table into his room.

Other successful Taoist priests have to swear to the gods before they can actually draw a talisman.

The so-called swearing to the gods is to ask one's own patriarch to explain the purpose, motivation, and intention of drawing the talisman.

This step was directly omitted by Chen Hai. After all, he has never relied on his patriarch since he practiced Taoism. What he relied on was himself.

However, just in case, he still visualized for a while, in his mind, there was that vague and ferocious shadow like a leech.

When his slightly closed eyes reopened, the wolf hair brush had already fallen into his hand.

After dipping in the ink mixed with cinnabar, Chen Hai had already written a stroke on the yellow paper in front of him.
