Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

"When you enter my Maoshan, remember the Ten Commandments. One is to avoid greed, two is to avoid hesitation, three is to avoid carelessness, four is to avoid using public power for personal gain, five is to avoid blasphemy, and six is ​​to avoid helping evil and killing..."

Shi Jian, wearing a purple robe and holding a Ruyi, performed a precepts ceremony for Shen Yan, who was kneeling under the statue of Sanmao Zhenjun.

Shen Yan held the Dharma crown in both hands, put it on his head solemnly, and shouted loudly: "Disciple, remember this!"

Shi Jian nodded with satisfaction. After the conversion and ordination ceremony, Shen Yan officially became a disciple of Maoshan. Shen Zhongde looked at him in Taoist robes and felt a little reluctant.

After staying with Shen Yan in Maoshan for three days, Shen Zhongde took Zhang Gui down the mountain and returned to Baicaotang in Chang'an.

After the morning class that day, Shen Yan followed Zheng Zibu to the field, carrying a hoe. The hoe was too small for his current body shape.

"Brother, what do we usually do in Maoshan?"

Zheng Zibu smiled and said, "Reciting scriptures, hoeing the land, drawing talismans, curing diseases and exorcising evil spirits. Although we don't travel the world like other sects, we still have to go down the mountain to gain experience every year."

Shen Yan asked curiously: "Brother, what does a spirit body look like? Is it scary?"

Zheng Zibu replied earnestly, "Of course they are not scary. Junior brother, you must remember that the spirits you see are the relatives that others miss day and night."

After a day's work, Shi Jian left Shen Yan alone at night.

"Yan'er has been in Maoshan for a while. Are you used to it?"

"A very good master. Senior Brother Zibu and Senior Brother Yuhang are all very nice to me." Shen Yan replied with a smile.

Shi Jian nodded and said, "Yan'er, do you know the talismans of our Maoshan lineage?"

Shen Yan's eyes lit up: "I know Master, everyone says that my Maoshan talismans are the best in the world, Master, do you want to teach me?"

"Well, I want to teach you the art of making talismans. In fact, all means in the world are carriers of Qi. The key lies in the heart of the practitioner. If the heart of Tao is not strong, even if you have a heaven-reaching cultivation, you will eventually fall into the mud."

After Shi Jian finished speaking, he walked towards the altar that had been set up outside the door and started to practice Qi: "I will show you the process of making talismans. Watch carefully."

Shi Jian was seen holding a peach wood sword in his right hand and a sword in his left hand, chanting the Six Jia Mantra: "I call on the Six Lords Yuanyang Jiazi Gods to come and go quickly. I hope you can prove my body and summon the Supreme Lord Laozi to hurry and obey the order."

"Second, in compliance with the order of the Supreme Original, the Six Jia Gods took in the divine pen, put a bottle of Tianchi water in the inkstone, lightly ground the Nine Stars divine ink, and hurriedly obeyed the order."

Shen Yan saw that the Qi on the altar kept gathering on the peach wood sword, and was input from the tip of the sword into the four treasures of the study, on which a layer of light golden light was flowing.

Shi Jian lightly picked up the talisman brush, first drew the talisman head, then drew the talisman core, and finally drew the talisman foot in one go. Then he bowed three times to the void: "Disciple Shi Jian, I sincerely thank Liujia God for helping me get this talisman. I hope that the talisman I draw will be powerful and powerful."

After the three spells, a talisman was completed. Shi Jian held the talisman and said to Shen Yan, "This is the Jiachen Wenqing Breaking Evil Talisman. To test whether a talisman is successful, you need to input your own Qi into the talisman. You can try it." After saying that, he handed the talisman to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan took the talisman and input Qi into it. He saw a faint golden light flashing on the talisman: "Master, I see golden light flashing on the talisman. How do you use this talisman?"

After listening to him, Shi Jian took him to a distance and said to him: "Input your own Qi into the talisman. The power of the talisman is determined by how much Qi you input. The hand holding the talisman pinches the sword gesture, throws the talisman at the target, and uses the command sound as a trigger."

Shen Yan mobilized the Qi in his body and continuously input it into the talisman. He felt that after inputting half of his own Qi, the whole talisman became extremely hard. Shen Yan shot the talisman towards the rocks in the distance and shouted loudly: "Command!"

A rock as big as a cow exploded into pieces. Shen Yan opened his mouth wide, obviously shocked by the power of the talisman.

"This is almost as powerful as the C4 bomb in my previous life. Unfortunately, my Qi is still too small. A talisman of this power will use up all the Qi after using two pieces." Shen Yan thought to himself.

Shi Jian was very satisfied with this and began to teach Shen Yan the process of making talismans: "To make talismans, you first need to open a magic altar and integrate your own Qi with the entire magic altar. You need to chant the corresponding magic spell for the kind of talisman you need to draw. Yan'er, go and try it."

Shen Yan walked towards the altar and lit a censer of incense. He then used his own energy to cover the entire altar, feeling every part of it.

Shi Jian instructed from the side: "Pick up the wooden sword and inject Qi into it, chant the Liujia Divine Mantra"

Shen Yan imitated his master and chanted the magic spell and then injected Qi into the four treasures of the study. After two spells, he picked up the talisman pen and began to draw on the talisman board beside him.

Shen Yan was completely focused during the whole process. Ever since he started practicing the Five Animals Guiding Technique at the age of three, he knew that he was different from other people. No matter what he was doing, he would always devote himself to it, as if his mind was always clear, which was very similar to Wu Gensheng.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and Shen Yan completed the first talisman in his life. Shi Jian, who was standing by, was stunned. He did not expect that his apprentice would succeed in drawing the talisman for the first time, and in less than half an incense stick of time.

After reciting the spell to send the gods away, Shen Yan input Qi into the talisman. Golden light surged, and he held up the talisman happily: "Master, I succeeded."

Shi Jian also stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Good, haha, you have the demeanor of my teacher back then."

After that, he took out the six-way talisman board and handed it to Shen Yan: "These are three Jia spells and three Ding spells. Yan'er, remember not to be impatient for quick success. After three years, I will teach you the other six."

Shen Yan knelt on the ground with his hands holding the six-way talisman board: "Thank you, Master, for the Dharma."

From then on, Shen Yan devoted himself to studying talismans every night. With the improvement of his realm, one burner of incense could make 7-8 talismans. Shen Yan was quite satisfied with this number, although it could not compare with the Tongtian Talisman.

As he delved deeper into the art of talismans, Shen Yan felt that the Tongtian Talisman was a bug. He also tried to draw talismans in mid-air, but before the talisman head was even hooked up, his Qi dissipated into the air.

six years later

Shen Yan was practicing in the back mountain. Two years ago, he had mastered the twelve Liuding and Liujia talismans. The twelve talismans were capable of attack, defense, and control: Jiazi Wenbo Ruijin Talisman (cutting), Jiaxu Wende Stopping Foot Talisman (entanglement control), Jiachen Wenqing Breaking Evil Talisman (explosion)...

During the practice, Shen Yan discovered that combining the talisman with his Ghost Gate Needle had unexpected effects. Wrapping the talisman around the needle and using the needle as a carrier of Qi could make the talisman remain effective for a long time after leaving the body, achieving delayed activation. The tiny needle also made the talisman faster and more concealed.

When using certain specific protective spells in combination with silver needles to stimulate the acupoints, the effect can be doubled. Shen Yan has tried to use the Dingyou body protection spell to stimulate the acupoints. Within half an hour, his Qi sea doubled in size and he was able to block any attack from his senior brother Zheng Zibu. However, after a while, he became exhausted.

This can be used as a means of saving Shen Yan's life. It can block Zheng Zibu's attack for half an hour, which is easy for a small bullet to handle.

"Brother, Master is calling you to the front hall."

When Shen Yan heard the shouting, he turned around and saw that it was his junior fellow apprentice Tang Nian'en. He then stood up and walked towards the front mountain.
