Chapter 60: The Four Wonders of Talismans, the Nine-Fingered Talisman Demon

Yujing City, Purple Mountain.

The Five Spirits Rainbow Light was driving on a long and endless mountain road, and the lush greenery on both sides kept flashing past the car window.

"Zhang Fan...you're not really into Jiang Lai, are you?"

Jiang Hu asked without turning his head while driving.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Fan took a glance and naturally would not tell him about his relationship with Jiang Lai in Zhenwu Mountain.

"I advise you not to... have an office romance." Jiang Huyu said seriously.

"why?"

"Have you ever seen a movie?" Jiang Hu changed the subject and asked instead.

"what movie?"

"It's... a movie in which a company boss threatens an employee's wife!" Looking through the rearview mirror, Jiang Hu's eyes revealed a look of infinite reverie.

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a strange look on his face: "Is it a movie with a simple scene, performed by two or three people?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Jiang Hu's tone immediately became high, as if he had met a soulmate: "Have you seen it?"

"..."

Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, formed a seal with one hand, clenched his four fingers, and only raised the middle finger, pointing it at Jiang Hulu, with great vigor.

Taoist Seal, International Edition!!!

"Why do these practicing families like to stay in the mountains?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but say as he looked at the scenery outside the car.

If you want to live in a place like this, you can't just have money.

“There are dragons in every mountain, river and sea. Riding the wind and crossing the moon, you can glimpse the traces of immortals… Most of the mountains and rivers in the world are adjacent to dragon veins, not to mention famous mountains like Purple Gold Mountain, which is blessed with beautiful scenery and is a great place for cultivation!” Jiang Hulu said without even turning his head.

It is said that when King Wei of Chu, Xiong Shang, conquered Yue, he buried a golden bell on a high mountain outside Yujing City to suppress the royal aura, so the mountain was named Zhongshan.

Later, the Jin Dynasty moved south, and Emperor Yuan of Jin, who often saw purple clouds lingering on the top of the mountain, began to call this place Purple Gold Mountain.

"The Shen family is a family of talisman makers, so the temples they choose are naturally different... Only the spiritual energy of Yujing can produce such a strong incense."

"Talisman..." Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.

Talismans are one of the most important means of Taoists, comparable to spells, secret incantations, etc.

Zhang Fan has only been practicing cultivation for a short time, and has not had time to study this area.

"Hu Lu, you are from the Fu Lu Sect, right..." Zhang Fan looked at Jiang Hu Lu who was driving and asked, "How powerful is this thing?"

"The talisman is a sign from heaven. All the immortals will descend upon the talisman!" Jiang Hu thought for a moment and spoke.

The so-called talismans are contracts signed between Taoists and the gods and ghosts in heaven, which can command the natural power of ghosts and gods.

The "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Jing" says that talismans, in the name of ghosts and gods, have the ability to assist the true teachings, summon all spirits, control life and death, maintain disasters, and pacify the five directions.

"This powerful talisman is no weaker than the complete Beidi magic, and may even be more powerful." Jiang Hulu said in a deep voice.

Zhang Fan has just mastered the [Tian Peng Ya], which is only a minor technique in the [Beidi Method]. The complete [Beidi Method] is a supreme method comparable to the [Five Thunders Method].

Even so, some powerful talismans can be used to fight against it with just one.

"So powerful? Then why not just use talismans directly?" Zhang Fan's eyes lit up.

If you carry some powerful talismans with you, you can walk around freely.

"The more powerful the talisman, the more advanced the cultivation required..." Jiang Hu shook his head.

All talismans have words on them, but ordinary people cannot understand them.

For example, there are as many as eight main fonts involved in drawing talismans, such as cloud seal, phoenix seal, dragon seal, light seal, etc. Some also involve star maps and deities.

The runes drawn in each font may represent different ghosts and gods or ancestors to be summoned, and their functions are also different, including saving the dead, prolonging life, summoning thunder, etc. Therefore, to cast a talisman, one not only needs to be familiar with the meaning of each rune, but also needs to remember the corresponding spell.

These runes are like circuit diagrams. The person who performs the runes needs to understand them very well in order to inject his true yang into the correct path and form a pathway.

"Therefore, every talisman master has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations before he can grow up."

Jiang Hu glanced back and chuckled, "Making talismans, drawing talismans, and performing talismans... these are all required courses. It is more difficult to master the key points than to master a magic technique..."

The book of alchemy says that if you don't know the trick to drawing talismans, you will only make ghosts and gods laugh. If you know the trick to drawing talismans, you will make ghosts and gods scream.

"You need to practice repeatedly for a long time just for [one character]."

The so-called "one character" means that a talisman has only one character. It is the simplest and most basic.

Some powerful talisman masters can even draw the [hundred character] in an instant.

"The hundred character!? Can such a small piece of paper do that?" Zhang Fan showed a strange look.

"A talisman master of that level is beyond your imagination." Jiang Hulu's face showed longing.

Although, usually, he sneered at talismans, but at this moment, Zhang Fan saw the light in his eyes through the rearview mirror.

"Hundreds of talisman masters...some of them you may not meet in your lifetime, and some of them have even created their own talismans." Jiang Hu sighed.

"A talisman that belongs to you alone?"

"Yes, creating something out of nothing... creating a talisman that is unique to the talisman master himself, that is the ultimate dream of every talisman master." Jiang Hu's voice was low but trembling.

The true self is unique, and the biggest dream of every talisman master is to create his own [True One Talisman].

"Have you seen it?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I haven't seen it...but I've heard of it..." Jiang Hulu was driving the car, looking at the mountain road, with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

In Taoism, there are tens of thousands of talisman masters, and they can be found in every mountain and temple.

However, Jiang Hu had heard since he was very young that among the many talisman masters, there were four who were the best and all of them had created their own [True One Talisman] before the age of thirty.

These four are known as the "Four Wonders of Talismans".

Jiang Hu grew up in the mountains listening to the legends of these four people, but among these four people, the one he admired the most was...

"what?"

"Do you know what the ten fingers of a person can do?"

As he spoke, Jiang Hu held up his hands and his ten fingers moved flexibly.

"Drive carefully and hold the steering wheel tightly." Zhang Fan panicked and said hurriedly.

"Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the heart can reach the sky..."

"The talisman master uses his own strength to communicate with the power of gods and ghosts in heaven, so his fingers are our lives." Jiang Hulu said in a deep voice.

Whether it is making talismans, drawing talismans, or performing talismans... these ten fingers are indispensable.

"But……"

"Among the four great masters of talismans, there is one whose fingers are incomplete..."

At this point, a terrifying gleam flashed in Jiang Hulu's eyes.

Being able to reach the pinnacle with his crippled body, and often boasting about the world with his talisman skills, that man was an extremely unique existence among the [Four Great Masters of the Talisman Skill]. His methods and his vicious reputation were like a bright lamp, illuminating the way for thousands of talisman masters to forge ahead...

This of course includes Jiang Hulu.

"His name is..."

"Nine-Fingered Talisman Demon!!"
