Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 43: Celestial Eye Talisman

…

After offering good incense to the ancestor, the master and the apprentice used dust-repelling charms to clean the entire room, clean up the dead branches and leaves in the yard, and trim the weeds in the medicine field, and the night became thicker.

They are already capable of fasting and do not need to eat.

After finishing his work, Xu Junming took two deck chairs and placed them under the pomegranate tree in the backyard, and the master and apprentice sat down respectively.

There are stars in the cloudless sky, and the full moon as big as a silver basin casts a faint silver glow, covering the earth with a beautiful white gauze.

"Master, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

Four eyes nodded, a look of memory on his face.

"I think at the beginning, your master liked to sit here and look at the moon, and then tell me and your uncle some strange things in the practice world. Now think about it, more than thirty years have passed in a flash."

Turning to look at him, Xu Junming hesitated for a moment.

"Master, how did the master pass away?"

"have no idea!"

"have no idea?"

Four Eyes nodded.

"Back then, your master's cultivation had reached the innate perfection, and he went down the mountain to practice in order to seek a breakthrough. In the next two years, the soul lamp in the Hall of Transmission suddenly went out. Our sect has been searching for many years but there are no clues. Master Xun used the 'Dayan Divine Calculation' 'Calculating the secrets, I can only calculate that the place of death of your master is in West Kunlun."

"But the West Kunlun Mountains are thousands of miles long, and there are no less than a thousand mountains. If you want to find someone out of thin air, let alone looking for a needle in a haystack. After the sect searched for three years without any results, it gave up."

"Didn't Master's soul return to the underworld?"

"No!"

"So you make one trip every year to West Kunlun to find the whereabouts of your master?"

"Hmm!...Not just me, your uncle will also go to West Kunlun every six months to search for three months! It's a pity that we have no clues at all for so many years."

His eyes turned around.

"Jun Ming, after your uncle and I pass away in the future, the task of finding your master's whereabouts will fall on you."

"Yes, this disciple must do his best to find the whereabouts of his master."

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Xu Junming quickly changed the topic.

"Master, all disciples of our sect are qualified to choose one Taoist method and three talismans to practice in the Sutra Pavilion. In addition to the 'Shen Da Zhen Jue', which three talismans did you choose?"

"Do you know why my teacher is called 'Four Eyes'?"

"Isn't it because you are wearing glasses?"

Of course, Xu Junming only said this in his heart, and still shook his head on the surface.

"Come and see!"

A double image of a pair of pupils suddenly appeared in the four eyes, and a burst of light that was more than a foot long made Xu Junming subconsciously avoid his eyes.

"This is called the 'Tianmu Talisman', and it is one of the thirty-six talismans in my Maoshan Mountain. If you can practice it to the peak, you will have a hundred miles of land within your sight."

Xu Junming was a little envious. His bronze mirror could break through illusions and preserve reality, but it couldn't be seen at a glance.

"What level have you reached?"

"The fourth stage of the white fundamental talisman is only a little short of achieving the blue fundamental talisman. In terms of the 'Tianmu Talisman' alone, no one in this sect can surpass you, master, and me!" Simu said proudly.

"Master is really amazing!"

Xu Junming complimented him at the right time.

"of course!"

"What are the other two talismans...?"

"The pagoda talisman and the puppet talisman! The former coincides with the way of the central Wutu, which is extremely hard. If it is practiced and used, it can form a golden light pagoda outside the body to protect the body and eliminate enemies. It has endless magical uses. It is a pity that I am not qualified as a teacher. I am limited, and I have never been able to understand the three flavors, and I have never started to learn it.”

After sighing.

"As for the puppet talisman, it is my Taoist method of refining the guardian gods and Tao soldiers!"

Si Mu stopped talking and said nothing more.

Obviously, this 'puppet talisman' is the same as the 'pagoda talisman' and has no entry level.

Knowing that his master had a good reputation, Xu Junming did not criticize him.

"Master, what three kinds of talismans does Master Lin practice?"

"Your uncle practices the 'Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman', the 'Ghost-Slaying Talisman' and the 'Sacred Foot Talisman'. Except for the 'Ghost-Slaying Talisman', he has not started with the other two."

"No wonder my uncle likes catching ghosts so much!"

After muttering, "Master, is there any difference between the Demon-Slaying Talisman and the Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman?"

"The Demon-Slaying Talisman is one of the basic talismans of the Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman. It coincides with the Western Gengjin Way. I taught you the 'Golden Sword Talisman' and 'Iron Sword Talisman', and the more recent step is the 'Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman'. At the same time, the demon-slaying sword talisman is also a true talisman among the thirty-six talismans of our sect that can be practiced to the level of 'red talisman'."

Xu Junming suddenly realized that no wonder he could not integrate the 'Demon Slayer Talisman' after he understood the 'Xuanyin Ghost Slaying Sword'. It turned out that the two were fundamentally different Taoist methods.

The demon-slaying talisman belongs to the Western Gengjin, which is the golden path.

As for the 'Xuan Yin Ghost-Slaying Sword', the emphasis is on Xuan Yin, not on the sword; the sword is a form, but it is fundamentally the way of Xuan Yin among Taiyin, Shaoyin and Xuanyin.

After getting rid of the confusion in his heart, Xu Junming felt that the spiritual platform was clear and he had more understanding of the 'Xuanyin Ghost Slaying Sword'.

"Next time I see Uncle Jiu, I must learn the 'Demon Slayer Sword Talisman'." Xu Junming thought to himself.

"Master, I have only heard you say that we have thirty-six talismans in Maoshan, but I have never heard you say it in detail. Today I have a chance, please tell me about it."

Four Eyes nodded.

"Tomorrow I will take you to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to select exercises. I will take advantage of today's opportunity to tell you about it. ... In addition to the several talismans mentioned earlier, I, Maoshan, also have soul-binding talismans, earth-opening talismans, Mountain-bearing talisman, water-proof talisman, fire-proof talisman, golden body talisman, giant power talisman, fire-crow talisman, Taiyi talisman... Hutian talisman, soul-leaving talisman!"

"The Pot Heaven Talisman? Is it the method to open up the cave?" Xu Junming's eyes lit up.

The treasure he longs for is space treasures such as storage bags. When the time comes, he won't have to carry a heavy deerskin bag all the time.

After looking at him with four eyes, he nodded.

"Although the Hutian Talisman is wonderful, I advise you not to try it?"

"Why?"

"The Hutian magic talisman contains the Tao of the cave, which is obscure and profound, a hundred times better than other methods. Countless seniors of the sect have spent their whole lives, but they have not been able to get in. Even if they have a little understanding, they are only at the white talisman stage. At this time, Hutian The talisman has neither a way to kill the enemy nor a way to protect oneself."

"Even if you want to refine the treasure of the cave, you need an innate spiritual creature with the five elements gathered together. But such a treasure is rare. Your master and I have never heard of it even though I have been practicing Taoism for a long time!"

Judging from Xu Junming's expression, it was obvious that he didn't take his words to heart. Si Mu was not surprised by this. Young people are arrogant and arrogant, especially when their apprentices have excellent qualifications and amazing understanding, and their arrogance is better than ordinary people.

If he doesn't suffer a little loss and hits the wall, he won't look back just by what he says.

But he didn't know that Xu Junming had a treasure that could help him achieve enlightenment.

"Master, can you teach me the pagoda talisman and the puppet talisman?"

"You are my disciple, so if you want to learn, it's okay. But again, you can't bite off more than you can chew. You have to weigh the trade-offs carefully!"

Although Simu loves face, his method of teaching his disciples focuses on guidance rather than imposing rules, which is completely opposite to Uncle Jiu.

This method is just right for Xu Junming.

"Thank you, Master, for your teaching. I will definitely remember it in my heart!"
