Chapter 133 Magical Weapon
After Zhao Zhen took office, he did not go to Xixi Village. He was free to do rural affairs. The books were handed down from Dong Laodao's Niutoushan Taoist Temple. After watching it for two days, he felt dizzy, and Zhao Zhen resumed his usual routine. He only carries a Taoist book with him. After practicing martial arts and dealing with local affairs, he reads it slowly. When he encounters something unclear, he even makes a special trip to visit Dong Laodao.
It is not that I gained nothing from studying behind closed doors for the past two days. There are many talismans and seals, all of which contribute to the prosperity of the country and the people, and the peace of my family and myself. Zhao Zhen found the [Shangqing Great Cave Sutra Urn] he was taught from the "Temple of Heaven Jade Grid" and used the "Laojun Riding an Ox Picture" to take office. Not only did he skip the sixth and seventh-grade titles of "Taishang Sanwudu Gong Sutra" [瓓], the fourth and fifth-grade titles [Zhengyimenweweijing瓓], the third-grade title [Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra瓓], and the second-rank title [Shangqing Three Cave Five Thunder Sutra Ruins] were directly awarded The first-level title [Shangqing Dadong Sutra Urn] is generally not taught externally. I thought it was the lowest level of seal writing, so I never told Dong Laodao about this, and I never thought that it was the highest level. From then on, there would be no obstacles to the promotion of legal positions, and all Taoist and magical powers could be practiced, with few taboos.
Due to taking up the profession of Taoist priest, Zhao Zhen found a weapon treasure from the treasure house, a [Cunning Horn] made from the horn of the auspicious beast Cunning, which can increase production and make dogs friendly. 【Soapwood Dagger】Three handles, can kill ghosts, exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits. The [Bluestone Lion Paperweight] and [Bluestone Jade Dragon Penstand] made of bluestone both have the effect of warding off evil spirits, suppressing evil spirits, and shining the Buddha's light, and the [Bluestone Pagoda] has similar effects. The rest are not available to Taoist priests.
Looking around, it turns out that the two pieces [Fire Rat Fur] and [Lightning Strike Jujube Wood] given by Dong Laodao can be used to make magic weapons. The Fire Rat Fur is easy to say. This fur has not been used yet. There is one It was about the size of a piece of cowhide, with two feet of white hair attached to it. Although the skin was thin, a third-level reed leaf gun could not penetrate it. Zhao Zhen planned to ask Wang Qiao to take off the white hair on it and spin it into cloth to make a robe. He wanted to make the skin into inner armor, but unfortunately he didn't know what kind of cutting and sewing to use, and none of the treasures and weapons in his hands could be cut. This skin.
As for the [Lightning Strike Jujube Wood], Dong Laodao specifically explained that this piece of Lightning Strike Jujube Wood can be used to make magic weapons and tokens, which can control the heavens, subdue demons, protect all spirits, patrol the three realms, pray for sunshine and rain, and destroy temples. Kill spirits, chase dragons and pray for rain, drive away thunder and spread lightning. Zhao Zhen also saw in "Zhu Lei Gong Killing Law": "There are three styles, the way of wood, with jujube wood as the top, sandalwood as the middle, and persimmon wood as the bottom."
Can make various styles. Although Zhao Zhen has never seen the actual artifact, he has seen several types in Taoist records in the past two days. In the rituals of the Zhai Jiao ceremony, in addition to the high-level masters performing step-fighting and kneading and chanting incantations, there are also a wide variety of magical instruments used on the Zhai Jiao altar, such as tokens, magic swords, canopy rulers, etc.
Of course, there are many materials used to make magical instruments, not only wood and bamboo, but also metal, jade, spirit animal skins, teeth and bones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and everything with spiritual energy. The shapes vary, including Dharma seals, Dharma swords, tokens, nectar bowls, Dharma rulers, whisks, flags and flags, etc. Even common rooster blood and black dog blood can drive away evil spirits.
Zhao Zhen also saw several tokens made of lightning strike wood, altar wood, and canopy ruler shapes from his inauguration dream. Their top shape is round and the bottom part is like heaven and earth. They have different uses and are engraved with different runes. . For example, the front and back sides of the Five Thunder Order are mostly engraved with the names of the Three Purities, the Five Thunder Order, or the images of officials and generals; on both sides, the names of the Twenty-Eight Constellations are engraved.
Zhao Zhen has seen four of different shapes. The first one is engraved with the five thunder orders on the front and the five thunders on the back. On the left and right, there is a thunder order, which will scare ghosts and gods thousands of miles away; the top is engraved with life and the bottom The second one is engraved with the order of five thunders, and the back is engraved with the picture of a Taoist priest driving away ghosts. The left and right sides are engraved with the order of five thunders, and ghosts turn into sand. The top is engraved with Sheng, and the bottom is engraved with Kun. The third one is engraved with the order of five thunders, and the back is engraved with the order of five thunders. Carve out evil spirits and return to the right path. The soldiers on the left and right will turn around according to the order and the generals will protect me. The top is engraved with life and the bottom is engraved with evil. The fourth one has five thunder inscriptions on the front and back. When the order is given on the left and right, the generals will appear. The top is engraved with five thunder inscriptions. It is the Qian Gua talisman with five thunder inscriptions on the bottom.
The altar wood is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, with a slightly raised top surface and a flat bottom surface. It is painted red with lacquer. The four characters "All Gods Xian Ting" are engraved on the front, and the four hexagrams Qiankun and Kanli are engraved on both ends; the canopy ruler, The shape is four-sided, and the six sides are engraved with the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the sun and the moon, the names of Emperor Ziwei, the names of Marshal Tianpeng, the Southern Dipper, and the Big Dipper. They can use the magical power of Marshal Tianpeng to ward off evil and avoid disasters.
Dong Laodao also provided a method for making the Five Thunder Orders, which was obtained from the "Shangqing Lingbao Jidu Dacheng Golden Book": There is a Five Thunder Order token, five inches long and five minutes wide, and two inches wide. Four inches thick, five minutes thick. The sword body is carved with a dragon and a pan on the front, and there are thunder runes on the back. The names of the twenty-eight constellations are engraved on the four sides. Choose an auspicious day, make it according to the style, and hold it in a brocade bag. When performing the Dharma, the order is struck on the altar, relying on the name of the ancestor, issuing orders, calling for wind and rain, summoning gods and generals, or descending to the altar, or escorting the souls of the dead, or exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons.
Zhao Zhen looked at the piece of lightning-struck jujube wood at hand. The forearms were long and short, and the calves were thick and thin. Not only did he want one of the Five Thunder Orders, but Dong Laodao also shamelessly asked for one from him. Zhao Zhen couldn't refuse, so he agreed. After all, he wanted Dong Laodao to write the talisman and seal script.
After removing these two Five Thunder Orders, Zhao Zhen had not thought about what to do with the remaining Thunder Strike Wood. After taking office, Zhao Zhen was a little confused.
Zhao Zhen originally thought of becoming an official first, which would not only enhance his control over the fantasy world, but also speed up his class promotion.
Now he accidentally entered the Taoist priest profession, which disrupted Zhao Zhen's own plan. Although Zhao Zhen didn't understand the profession of Taoist priest, he knew that the future of this profession was better than that of the manor owner. After all, when the school ranked the seats, he was only ranked third with the bonus of the fantasy world. The one in front of him is the Taoist profession, and the fantasy world is still uninhabited. Now that he had the opportunity to become a Taoist priest, Zhao Zhen was naturally reluctant to waste it.
Since he didn’t know what to do, Zhao Zhen didn’t hesitate. He took the [Fire Rat Fur] and [Thunder Strike Jujube] and rode to Xixi Village. He called Guang Hui, Pei Xuan, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Dong Laodao and Wang Qiao all came to sit down in the front hall. Zhao Zhen expressed his thoughts. Regarding the [Fire Rat Fur], he only asked Wang Qiao to pluck out the white hair on it, weave cloth, and cut clothes.
With the remaining rat skin, Pei Xuan came up with an idea: "Master of the village, why don't you call brother Tang Long to make a pair of scissors out of fine iron such as meteorite iron and black gold? Cut it open." Zhao Zhen said: "There is no rush for this. I heard from brother Tang Long that the brothers' simple knives can be made in the next few days. When the brothers' weapons are finished, it will not be too late to make scissors. ”
As he said that, he discussed with everyone about [Thunder Strikes Jujube Wood]. Zhao Zhen talked about the regulations of the Five Thunder Orders. After everyone discussed it, Pei Xuan painted the carved dragon and flat sword on the front. On the body, Dong Laodao drew the Lei Ling rune on the back, and the twenty-eight names around the four sides of Xiao Rang's book were finally carved by Jin Dajian, and then the altar was set up and consecrated.
After everyone agreed, Zhao Zhen sent someone to the carpentry workshop to take out two wooden boards that were five inches long, five inches wide, four inches wide, and five inches thick. Let Pei Xuan and Dong Laodao draw it, and then Xiao gave the book the title.
Zhao Zhen pointed to the remaining materials and said to Guang Hui: "Brother Guang Hui, you are also from the Buddhist family. Do you want any magical tools?"
Guang Hui said: " Master, although the Sa family is a disciple of Buddhism, they only practice martial arts and not Buddhism. With a pair of iron fists and a pair of swords, the Sa family is not afraid of any ghosts."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
In addition to the remaining large material, after taking the wooden sign, Zhao Yuanli also took back the surrounding small materials. Zhao Zhen picked it up and handed it to Guang Hui, saying: "Brother Guanghui, these few scraps I asked my brother to carve a rosary, and my younger brother meditated and chanted the rosary to make it a meditation object. It is also a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits. ”
Guang Hui said: "Master, it's all about Sajia. You can do it in a day or two."
Dong Laodao said: "Master, you have a good idea. The most important thing in meditation is to be calm. We, the Taoist priests who are just starting out, need to meditate on the flow of beads. "Tai Xuan Jin Suo Liu Zhu Yin" says: Day and night are spinning, the sky is endless, like the endless flow of water, and the stars are round like beads, so it is called Liu Zhu."
“The numbers are mostly 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 81, 108, 365. Twelve represents the twelve thunder gates, twenty-four represents the twenty-four energy, and twenty-eight represents the twenty-eight. Thirty-two stars represent the thirty-two heavens that save people, thirty-six represent the number of evil spirits produced by Tiangang, and eighty-one represent the eighty-one transformations of Laojun, and also represent the ninety-nine pure yang energy of one hundred and ten. The eight beads are the number of the stars in the sky, and they are also the number of the thirty-six heavenly gangs and the seventy-two evil spirits. The three hundred and sixty-five beads represent the degrees of the stars. The Taishang Sanyuan Liuzhu Sutra says: It uses three hundred and sixty-five white pearls, round and clear, as big as tung seeds, corresponding to the degree of the stars and the period when the sun and the moon meet. Master Guanghui can make it according to this number, so that it is in line with the fortune of the village owner. "
After hearing this, Guang Hui said: "It is indeed different from Buddhism. After I finish carving, I will not string them up, but just send the beads."
Here, Pei Xuan, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian discussed it. Since they were all making magic weapons for the first time, and the lightning-strike wood was precious, they would make mistakes. After some discussion, the three people first found some ordinary jujube wood and started practicing. .
It wasn't just one day that everyone took action.
After another two days, it was ready. Zhao Zhen held it in his hand, and even though it was not consecrated, he could already feel the power of thunder. Just wait for the auspicious day of the zodiac to open the altar and perform the ritual, and the Five Thunder Order will be completed.
