The third chapter: the general principle of spells]

In the second quarter, the use of the general principles of the spell

The types of spells thousands of methods applied are legion.For example, the application of method of a spell, meditation, quietly read, read aloud;Have books and burying or burning, and so on.Use of operator of methods is more, under wear, one to the affected area;Have put in or put in a strange place.Have burned to ash, ash dissolve in the water, with waterWash your hairSurface, wash the body, or sprayed with water to wipe, whole body;Have food, food operators and the table (paper) directly eat "swallow", after the operator shall be burnt powder insoluble in water and drink it "drinking symbol"."Drinking symbol" and hot drink and cold drink etc.In addition, there are buried underground, into the water, and so on.While applying spells methods differ in thousands ways, but in the application of some common principles must be followed.

First, with "qi"

Scribbles need deposit, luck, application of spells also need gas.Mr Hu Fuchen in the wei jin immortal Taoism - holding tastes in study "points out:" the Taoist with spell forbidden evil often should cooperate and saving, such as qi and spell, that said when the spell to make themselves into the qigong state function, ge hong to the tiger's 35 the method is an example.He said: '35 the method, when must be oral, pen can't resign.A method, which, as such, I make three zhangs, longer and in the tiger's head, because of the breath, the tiger is to go.If both the SuShan, women take head, her breath to sting on the white tiger ", is also without fear.Method, and with his left hand with a knife breath, draw a square, wish: the Yin of the mount heng, mount too Yang, thieves can't afford to, not the tiger, musquash not over, close to Jin Guan.Due to the cross with a knife on the white tiger in the ten day, nor fear also.'(" stakeholders ") "Bai Yuchan also talked about in the" song XuanZhu note ", instead spells such as spell by rain, to the itself of five viscera qi yuan god, is the five thunder.According to the principles of the five elements based on their air, sea and air, make the goldwater begets, want to water all over the sky, can rain;Shipment within their chi that elemental opposite grams, can thunder;Rage magnate binocular, against your heart, can play the lightning: want to own sun be the spirit of heaven and earth again intoThe fire, boiling gas word, can achieve the goal of qi qing.To make the application efficacy of spells, even the most simple spell should also be applied to

Gas to cooperate.Like folk secret * * * convert to a practice rule of "easy chanting practice" is like this: if you have a very busy man, or a sick person...Then in the morning or at night, wash clean, to the west, or worship, worship or as a yi, thrust his hands folded, sincerity "namo amida Buddha" six words, do not pass, does not limit times, as long as uncomfortable don't do a breath read slowly and gas long breath sound more than a dozen, or shortness of breath a sigh of relief several voice, or even read ten breath...Do as this way, can also repair to the western heaven, because is amitabha 48 big wish a wish of the heart.

Second, with action

Spells of, don't like * * * o god, in the promise, just cult, or by offering incense for, and relying on a certain means to positively influence the outside world.Because of this, when applying spells, tend to take some action to cooperate spells make the role of objects to be applied a spell, this is the so-called "curse".Curse including yu step, make finger gestures during incantations, spit saliva, bobbing, etc.

Yu step is Taoist practice of a special step, when the legend dayu water conservancy "the south China sea, see the horse spell, can make the stone turn.The bird was banned, often as step.YuSui replication, order into the operation.According to Mr Hu in the explanation in the book, the words of the "white tiger" of Taoism in "blue dragon, white tiger, rosefinch, black" class code, later on, and the meaning of "white tiger" with in the refers to the position, not really to earth and a sword and tiger.We separated, all test.Because the yu made yue yu step.Since the last time, the good way, the requestor to emerge, push the initial step yu is not complicated, such as ge hong "holding tastes in the article" recorded in the yu step by step method as follows:

Left before for left, right, left is right, left over right, right is left.Left time for left, right, left is right, so three steps, when a full zhang two feet, followed by nine.Or is it

Is set, the right foot in the former, the left foot, right foot before time after, with the left foot from right foot and, is a step.After right foot before, times before the left foot, right foot from the left foot and, is a two step also.Before after the right foot, left foot from right foot and, is three steps.So, step yu bi yi.For the best, all appropriate step know yu.

Step by later, yu in the form of more and more complex, not only the pace has a variety of exquisite, and to keep moving spell, save to various deities with step, or want to own feet stars, connection gods, pray that god will remove curse rid disaster, bless peace.The holding tastes in the article mentioned "three-step nine trace" yu footwork.Is further complicated by the form of yu step.Yu step itself seems to be on scribbles ShiFu.

Make finger gestures during incantations is application of spells should be a gesture.Its effect is can really evil.Too clear jade book said: "pinch (i.e. device - led) tactic, so tong really evil, servants will treat each different.Gang travelling more than seven hundred mu, the wielder is not much today.Four dimensions, and the four fingers root by section number twelve, according to the twelve Chen separated: gossip, seven stars, jiugong, three sets of each main it does."That is to say, make finger gestures during incantations of different gestures, intraoperative have different functions in different spells.Such as called god want to use Chinese print this gesture.The method for the little finger from the fourth refers to the back, with middle finger hook, thumb choke refers to section 3, 4 middle finger pinch palm horizontal stripes, two, four fingers straight.It symbolizes the holding Chinese printing, it is said that this can be called "command all the ghosts and gods and thirty-six will" to subdue the evil spirits.And as detained to: left horizontally, then, the little finger first approach the fourth finger from four fingers back into the middle finger, hook device palm, middle finger and thumb pressure turn big finger pressure on finger.Its role is detained demon evil to the altar or state prison burning, more used for exorcism evil spirit.

To match the chanting of the action of a known as "source" according to the mountain of make finger gestures during incantations gestures.This is a must read some spell with one action.Method is the fingers under pressure by the nose, between two nostrils.The ancients says this action have spirits ghost town."Yun shu qi sign" volume allocation method of the secret key to halt the evil big wish 9 "is said:"...And knock tooth tee, but open eyes.Xu to left hand source, according to the mountain ghost well behind closed doors...Nose down the hill source, is the spirit of my whole body and Zimbabwe, true evil government.Back really so born evil, so fixing all evil is true, in my luck was taken, so the auspicious omen."

Third, cooperate with "curse"

Applying spells should cooperate with "qi" and the action not only, but also cooperate with certain items, make use of the spells have possessing it.Such as the han nationality and some minority are often on the sword engraved or write the mantra, or face the sword chanting to burn operator scribbles, think only in this way can the sword with town demon talismanic powers.At this time of the sword is equivalent to the spell itself.

When applying spells to cooperate with the characteristics of certain items, more outstanding to reflect on the curse anaerobic wins.Curses sorcery principle of anaerobic - is the sympathetic magic (induction law) and the imitative witchcraft symbol (law).Think of sympathetic magic, analogue to heal, if red plants can cure disease, blood yellow plant can cure jaundice, etc.And think that any part of the human body can be induced with whole body, from human hair, nails, etc., as long as the wizard curses, can make the person evil, disease, and even death.Imitative witchcraft think, will someone contact with shi to curse, you can apply to the person.Symbol or a puppet someone, use a needle to poke the puppet is to kill the man.Film raise the red lantern in the young servant is used by this art, but his idol is used puppets rather than a puppet.25, a dream of red mansions written. Shiva to zhao aunt to the piece of paper, paper with scissors hinge for two person, and zhao aunt, he had written two person's date of birth in the above;Got a piece of blue paper hinge five green surface;And in one place, take the needle nail.Will be sent two paper men call zhao aunt five ghosts in the bed of the yi in every one of them is finished.Said she only practice at home, its efficacy.Here is occasionally used in the paper toy.

Cursed with a curse of content not only prevalent in the han nationality, is prevalent in some ethnic minorities.Wa, for example, in the past at the time of the shooting to curse rivals, want to come back from the enemy's steal a thatched house head to curse.Dai people died for a curse each other in the past, from the other side to steal footprints, hair or clothing fragments and curse after cutting paper men together, on the other side bamboo building, or steal each other's nails and paper-cut nailed on.Yi's charm person a remainings instead of in the past with a knife remainings cutting, was considered to be the enemy cut it.Or will a straw and a chicken tied together, the wizard and bale together chicken take in your hand, mouth read "curse", cursed be cursed like chickens died.Read classics, the family, to kill a chicken cooked cooked food.And then by the wizard to plunge into a Bi people cut with the knife, of those who had been a curse to chop down dead.

Four, all kinds of taboos

Use spells is not a simple matter of the random, it often has a variety of strict taboo, mustn't cross the step.If you have violated, spells will not be accurate.

(a) ablution

Use spells by ghosts and gods, and ghosts and gods very like clean, so pray the gods with a dusty, hands or mouth is never do not clean.More formal use spells, therefore, the first thing to meditation bath, wash gargle, and read "I wash to month, to day is, fairy auxiliary himself and herself with shape, 20 BaSu, merged with us, thousands of evil than indecent by gas and qing" clean body such as the curse.

Some ablution just before perform spells or can be, when others want to be in to perform spells will begin in a few days ago.Holding tastes, climb wading, records of operator take up the mountain to fasting before seven days: "ordinary people into the mountain, all should zhai jie 7, without impurity, take up mountain operator out of the door, as a general method of three to five."In the scripture, collected Taoist scriptures, regulations on applying spells preoperative need ablution also many, specified in these verses "had to wash gargle will perform spells at such a time."

(2) the level of application of spells

Many spells level of applying has strict rules, what people what kind of character, what kind of spell must carefully observe.Such as amulet is the operator of the most common, but a talisman worn by all kinds of people there are different.Recorded in dunhuang in the note, the 2498 volume of different status of three kinds of people wear three different charms:

(3) the application of spells moral requirements

The stand or fall of moral self-cultivation spells is applied to the efficacy has the effect that cannot ignore.Some Taoist classic often emphasizes the right spell to "the mind is" gas, called garlic street good merit ", only so, use spells to efficacy.Otherwise, without the merit, although with FuNian spells always without inspection.To do under the guise of spells righteous man "" things, spells not only efficacy, will kill the people.On the other hand, the spell is difficult to make a moral man.The and taiping guang ji ", each has a story to illustrate the point.The story of taiping guang ji says in the tang dynasty, the western hu monk, can spellThe deadTo a stranger.Emperor taizong ride to take strong brave attempt to HTML, such as die of words, such as speech.The emperor to tell too Chang Shaoqing Fu Yi.Yi, this method also.If I smell do righteousness, to curse, will not do.Emperor called monk zhou yi, yi to sleep.Surroundings, hu monk suddenly after the fall, if for the strike, not recovery.

Fashion ", "dead set of degrees of xishan nature, KaiFengFu prepare coffin back to life" spoke in such a thing: character of the, always been XiXue, quite safe.But there is one thing: learned this method, some also work at random.All service are not to and take the disaster.When song qian years, fujian fuzhou has a too Chang Shaoqing Ren Wenjian firstborn, called Ren Daoyuan.Young seeking, from a teacher, is a OuYangWenBin, teach five thunder as the teachings, built the altar at home, and the pedestrian, so the efficacy...Later ShaoQing has not, tao yuan hit the father ren...Chunxi has thirteen years in the first month 15 night, beicheng meet straight all the residents, is Zhang Daozhe temples, and build strategy big jiao huang an altar, please Ren Daoyuan for switching, presided over the altar.That day to watch people, far more than get mountain sea.And two women, the double Huan updo, upright, abundant god and graceful, now BingDi lotus.Ren Daoyuan looked up and saw, stunned dazzled greatly, out of her wits, there is also what jiao gu altar don't dip, fasting is not fast, then said: "two darling please, reliable and convenient to take a look inside."Two women and a way: "thank you for your mage".Is light LianBu, walk in the door, tao yuan staring eyes, look look, mouth principal way: "raised lanthanum skirt darling."Cover from fujian province, is called the woman do that wipe a bosom lanthanum skirt, filed, means to touch her breasts, is icy, wherein, look for a bargain to speak.A woman of them positive color way: "jiao mages do, how to say fairly good words?"Pull the companion, turn round and then walk.Yuan will say with smile: "see hurrying, with wireless mage knot why hinder!"Two female ears red, mouth mumbling micro scold.Stay jiao bi, tao yuan soon left behind some itching, and take the pain.Called his family to see, I saw a red bud, such as millet, fingers according to go, do not endure pain.

Home the next day, the mood is not happy.Every two days...Tao yuan night dreamed that god would hold iron scourge to chase, tao yuan dismayed, god will come, surrounded by the nine town the next turn, he hurriedly, a whipping behind, suddenly.Since then boil the increased, head bilges as KaoLao.Two drum call call every night, like be a whip.Will be full, get 20 Liang Kun (tao yuan wife's nephew - led) at home, dreamed that god would give him a way: "you to early even, urgent arrival home, see my tao yuan."Kun started up, busy arrival home.Tao yuan a see cried: "meet only have this for a while."Wear clothes to bed, suddenly fall.Seven or eight families were up, quietly just like a hand pulling, flapping on the ground.Take a closer look, have the airless...

This story, although with clear ideas of karma, but also enough to find that application of spells and the moral cultivation of important relationships.

(4) spell do not have the slightest mistake

Recite the mantra must use skilled.Because the spell has a mysterious, powerful forces, and so there can be no joke about it.To spell in Chinese ancient books often have heart to honesty, read aloud to practice ", "the same appropriate is sincere heart," and so on.If mantra read a wrong a word or even a few words, or the before and after some/frame sequence read upside down, then, on many occasions, the spell will complete failure, sometimes even counterproductive, to recruit from the song dynasty."Spoils the trinity of" hou monks because of the ChengGan operation "this is the very good annotation: a name is hou yuan the woodcutter meet makes awarded spells by up the hill cutting wood, hand spell the makes the acquisition.Is not in January, its operation.Called ghosts, and changes everything, service encounter with vegetation, murmured, then more is a step then.Avatar to the already, will go out, since someone help from.So receive better village young YongHan for will, want to stage an uprising.Because I don't listen, after shen jun told, remembered the failure, the emperor scolded.Since then hou yuan xiao spells by gradually forgotten and will remember to do also not very spirit.Are all from these previous henchmen, don't know, together do not come loose, also push him to give priority to.Self-reliance, is autumn led the people, where bing otani robbery.Just bing distribution, accidentally received after, many know, surrounded by several heavy.Hou yuan nasty, ShiFu chanting, spark is ineffective, was beheaded in array, party and hence.Hou yuan ShiFu chanting is ineffective, although has the reason of gods punishment, but he learned to spell "forgetting", it is also an important factor cannot be ignored.

(5) using operator taboos have time

Scribbles have time taboo, taboo with operators also have time.Some operators to cooperate with their star life in use, shall not be violated, if there are violated, not only not check, will also suffer from woes things.Such as wel so Jupiter in your (both men and women who 1, 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85 years old, are the years of Jupiter jun), must serve value too Jupiter in jun, insurable safe.Ann with red paper write traditional characters, choose in the first month of the date of kyrgyzstan, when at home.If wrong this year with every star in the sky of the sky not only onstar won't skies, will cause the infortunes into the palace, from financial ruin, family affair, not with people.Dunhuang suicide note "in the 2856 incidence of book character of the act of pushing sick days at the beginning of the ghost was swallowed by a lever sequence with use.Zhang tianshi illnesses operator method, it is according to the lunar calendar date.The same day the sick, the southeast of the on the road, is god create you damn fool.Fever headache, sit down and rise up, eating tasteless.Step five, with yellow paper southeast forty inverse, namely the more.Scribbles, swallowing, doors, ji.

In addition, the application of spells and sacrifices, multiplier, food and other aspects of taboos.Because the sacrifices and multiplier is held in the use of such things god spells require, so they have the divine nature.Can't literally touch on them, otherwise it will affect spells of efficacy.

Food taboo refers to the use of the spells can't eat something.Such as qiang nation is specified spell can't eat dog meat, or spell not only invalid, also against the spell itself.
