People worship their ancestors: I'm just burning some paper money, how did I become a Taoist ma
Chapter 24 Experiment with Daoist Techniques
As Li Mu swept away the scattered plaster dust, he stared at the marks on the wall!
In his previous life, when he was a Taoist priest, his master taught him the hand gestures and incantations for palm thunder. He practiced them countless times, but each time he was just going through the motions.
Master said, "Sincerity brings results," but he had been sincere for over ten years and still hadn't seen the palm lightning explode into a fart.
Once you're born into this world, the first time you seriously try, you succeed.
That palm strike just now seemed to have taken away some of his strength.
At this moment, there is a deeper, indescribable "emptiness" in my body, as if something has been taken away.
"It seems this thing can't be used casually," Li Mu muttered, then started thinking about other things.
The Palm Lightning is usable now, but what about the others?
The Five Thunder Orthodox Method—that's an advanced version of the Palm Thunder, with greater power, but also greater energy consumption.
Talismans – Are talismans effective? Talismans for peace, wealth, and protection were merely formalities in past lives; can they truly be effective in this world?
Will chanting spells like the Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra, the Golden Light Mantra, and the Earth God Mantra have any real effect?
Can simple formations like the Bagua formation or the Four Symbols formation be used to protect the site of a ritual?
Li Mu became more and more excited as he thought about it, but after a few seconds of excitement, he calmed down.
I can't try it at home anymore.
That palm strike just now has already alerted the property management. If we make an even bigger commotion, the police might have to come knocking.
"I need to find a secluded place," Li Mu thought for a moment, then picked up his phone, opened the map, and started looking!
Soon, Li Mu's gaze settled on a cluster of unfinished buildings. He knew the location; it wasn't a bustling area, but it was a large area of unfinished buildings that had been abandoned and overgrown with weeds. The place was secluded enough!
"That's it." Li Mu made his decision.
……
The next morning, Li Mu set off on his electric bike.
He carried a large bag filled with talismans, cinnabar, a writing brush, incense, candles, yellow paper, and other necessary materials!
Before long, Li Mu arrived at the unfinished building he had chosen. After circling around the construction site fence, Li Mu discovered several holes!
After finding a place to park his electric scooter, Li Mu carried his backpack and walked to a hole. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he crawled inside!
Just as Li Mu knew, the construction site was in a mess, overgrown with weeds. Although there were tall buildings standing in the middle, it still gave off a sense of emptiness!
"A good place." Li Mu looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
He put down his bag, found a relatively flat spot, and began to prepare.
First item: Talismans.
Li Mu took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and drew a "peace talisman" on it with cinnabar.
This is a talisman he drew countless times in his past life; he could draw it even with his eyes closed.
After finishing the drawing, he folded the talisman and placed it on a stone. Then he stepped back a few paces, made a hand seal, and chanted:
"By the Supreme Lord's decree, protect this body. May evil spirits not invade, and may all diseases not befall it. So be it!"
The talisman remained completely still.
Li Mu frowned and tried again.
It still doesn't move.
"No..." He thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
A talisman cannot be used simply by drawing it and chanting incantations; it requires one's own spiritual cultivation to infuse it.
The Palm Thunder technique uses one's own body as a vessel, with magical power emanating directly from the palm. Talismans are different; the talisman paper is the vessel, requiring the practitioner to "infuse" the Dao Hang (a magical technique) into it.
Li Mu closed his eyes and recalled the methods his master had taught him in his previous life.
"When drawing a talisman, keep one thought in mind; when the intention is there, the energy follows; when the energy is there, the talisman is complete..."
He took out another piece of yellow talisman paper, picked up a brush, and dipped it in cinnabar. "Everyone Worships Ancestors: I Burned Some Paper Money, How Did I Become a Celestial Master?": Explosive word-of-mouth, rave reviews!
This time, he didn't rush to write. Instead, he closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and calmed himself down.
After adjusting himself for a moment and concentrating, Li Mu felt a warm energy in his dantian, flowing down his arm, through his wrist, and to the tip of his pen.
The moment the feeling of "qi" reached the tip of the brush, Li Mu opened his eyes and began to draw on the talisman paper.
Each stroke flows smoothly and effortlessly.
When Li Mu finished the last stroke, he felt the brush in his hand vibrate slightly, as if something was transmitted from the tip of the brush to the talisman paper.
The bright red cinnabar patterns on the talisman paper were now faintly tinged with a layer of golden light.
"It's done!" Li Mu was overjoyed.
He placed the talisman on the stone, stepped back a few paces, and began to chant incantations and make hand gestures.
"By imperial decree, the Supreme Lord, protect him..."
Before the words were even finished, the talisman suddenly burst into flames.
It wasn't ordinary burning—the flames were golden, there was no smoke, only a faint sandalwood scent.
After the talisman burned, a faint golden mark remained on the stone, which lasted for three or four seconds before slowly dissipating.
Li Mu stared at the fading mark, his mouth agape.
"Does the amulet... really work?"
He didn't know if the talisman had any "protective" effect, but it at least proved one thing—talismans could be used in this world.
Next, he tried "wealth-attracting talisman", "house-protecting talisman", and "evil-repelling talisman", and each one was successful, but it cost him a lot.
Purifying Heaven and Earth Mantra.
This is one of the most common Taoist incantations, used to purify the environment and dispel evil spirits.
Li Mu stood up, formed a hand seal, and chanted:
"Heaven and earth, in their natural order, disperse all impurities. Within the cave lies profound mystery, radiant with the primordial energy. The mighty spirits of the eight directions command me to be natural. The divine decree of the Spiritual Treasure is proclaimed to the Nine Heavens..."
By the third time he read it, Li Mu felt that the air around him seemed to have become "fresher".
It's not a psychological effect.
It's hard to describe the feeling—it's like opening a window in a stuffy room and letting in a rush of fresh air.
"The Purification Mantra is effective," Li Mu thought to himself.
Next comes the Golden Light Mantra.
"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. Through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers..."
After reciting the incantation, Li Mu felt as if a thin, warm, and comfortable layer had been covering his body.
He looked down at his hands; there was nothing there, but the feeling of being "wrapped" was very real.
"The Golden Light Mantra can summon the righteous energy of Heaven to form a protective shield, resisting the invasion of external evils, yin energy, and filth," Li Mu speculated. "With the blessing of the Golden Light Mantra, I'll feel much safer going to any dark place."
Afterwards, Li Mu tried some other methods, and as long as he concentrated, he was basically successful!
……
Around noon!
Li Mu took out bread and other food, along with a bottle of water, from his bag. After eating a little and recovering for a while, he began to try the last item—the formation.
The formation needs to be set up; it can't be done in a short time.
Li Mu found a relatively flat open space and arranged a simple Bagua formation on the ground using gravel.
The Bagua Formation is the most basic formation in Taoism. It consists of eight directions, each corresponding to one of the eight trigrams, with the Taiji symbol at the center.
After setting up the formation, Li Mu stood in the center, made hand seals, and chanted:
"The Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams determine good and bad fortune, and good and bad fortune give rise to great undertakings. I now arrange the formation, and evil spirits cannot invade..."
