Even if you don't know how to paint and calligraphy these days, you have to buy a set in the study.
However, Lei Wu practiced calligraphy a lot, and it could be seen from the row of brushes hanging on the pen holder and the scent of ink wafting all over the study, and there was a stack of rice paper on the table in the middle of the study.
"Master Ye, the brushes are all ...... here."
For these brushes in his collection, Boss Lei is still a little confident, "See for yourself which one is suitable, I will grind it for you......"
Ye Tian was not polite, stepped forward and chose a slender wolf pen used for writing small letters, held it in his hand and played with it, and couldn't help but praise: "The Kanto Liaowei made of rat tail from the Northeast? It's still an ivory pen barrel, Mr. Lei, your brush can be regarded as an antique......"
"Hehe, Mr. Ye has good eyesight, this wolf brush was added later, but the pen barrel is an old object......"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Lei Wu's face showed a bit of pride, and he was only hit in front of Ye Tian again today, but he didn't expect that a brush would give him some face.
"Master Ye, look...... Which inkstone is better to use?"
On this Huanghuali desk, there are also four or five square inkstones, which look like they are old in terms of style.
"Forget about the inkstone, I use cinnabar to make talismans, not graphite ......"
Ye Tian shook his head, took out the small pack of cinnabar he bought in Tongrentang from his pocket, and said: "This thing is cinnabar, Mr. Lei, find a small bowl and pour some warm water."
Cinnabar is also known as cinnabar and cinnabar, and the powder of cinnabar is red, can last for a long time, and can be used as a pigment.
For example, in 1972, a large number of painted printed silk fabrics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, many patterns were painted with cinnabar.
However, cinnabar is most famous for its medicinal use, and in ancient times, it became cinnabar as "Dan", after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the alchemy that arose in search of the elixir of immortality was actually just refining cinnabar.
Of course, cinnabar does have medicinal effects, sweet and cold is heavy, concentrated in the heart meridian, cold can clear heat, and heavy can calm timidity. It can treat restlessness, palpitations, insomnia and other diseases.
Because cinnabar has the effect of nourishing the spirit and calming the soul, it has also become one of the supplies used by Taoism to draw talismans to ward off evil spirits.
Of course, in Ye Tian's view, exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits is all nonsense, but the talismans are written in cinnabar, and with the five-element formation to stir up the vitality of one party, it has the effect of attracting good fortune and avoiding misfortune, and breaking evil spirits and eliminating disasters.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a simplified version of the magic weapon, but the general use time is not long, it can only last for about three months at most, after this time, the talisman will lose its effectiveness.
Although Ye Tian's master mainly specializes in feng shui physiognomy, there are also methods for making talismans in the inheritance he has obtained, but Ye Tian used to draw and play in his spare time, and it was the first time that he was preparing to make talismans like today.
Ye Tian poured the ten grams of cinnabar that had already been ground into powder, and the small half bowl of water suddenly became thick, showing a bloody red color.
After about a minute, his right hand quickly dipped the tail of the brush in a bowl filled with cinnabar, and then wrote on a piece of yellow paper spread in front of him.
When Ye Tian was writing quickly, his forearm was almost motionless, only his wrist was forced, and the characters appeared on the yellow paper one by one, each character was not connected, but it looked like it was integrated.
At the same time, Ye Tian also chanted a spell in a low voice in his mouth, and with his voice, the surrounding heaven and earth energy quickly condensed at the tip of the pen, and the characters written in the bright red cinnabar actually faintly showed a golden color.
According to Taoism, talismans are carriers for opening up the energy field of heaven and earth and communicating information in the spiritual world, and their particularity requires that the person who draws the talisman must have certain Taoist skills.
When drawing talismans, they must also be combined with secret spells, so that the drawn talismans have mana and effects, as the saying goes: drawing talismans without knowing the tricks will make the ghosts and gods laugh.
Taoist talismans are widely used and are used to treat people, drawing talismans on paper with alchemy books, burning them and dissolving them in water, allowing patients to drink them, or sealing the talismans for patients to wear.
There are also talismans used to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, which are worn by people or pasted on the bedroom door, and used to relieve disasters and stop disasters by throwing talismans into river embankments to stop floods, or writing talismans to relieve droughts, etc.
As for the Taoist priests' fasting rituals, they are inseparable from talismans, or write talismans on the chapters and tables, report to the gods, or use talismans to summon the gods and ask them to kill ghosts, or use talismans to care for the underworld and refine the souls.
But no matter what kind of talisman, the ideological foundation of talisman is based on the belief in ghosts and gods, and it is said that it has the effect of summoning gods and denouncing ghosts, suppressing demons and subduing demons.
However, on the surface of modern technology, the use of talismans to treat diseases is occasionally called "small tests", not because they expel the "ghosts" that cause diseases, but for other reasons.
Based on Ye Tian's understanding of talismans, those patients with mild illnesses, because they believe in talismans and drink talisman water, cause a psychological situation that the ghost has been driven away and the disease has been escaped, which is similar to medical psychotherapy.
However, talismans also have another effect, that is, the Taoist priest needs to have good internal refining skills, and when writing talismans, luck is on the talisman, and it is used to cure diseases, and it produces a certain curative effect.
Modern qigong has been proven to be able to cure certain diseases, and this method of treating diseases with talismans and qi is also effective for some patients.
He used the formula to drive the surrounding heaven and earth qi and inject the auspicious qi into the talisman, and its effect was much stronger than using talisman to carry qi.
Although Boss Lei on the side couldn't understand the meaning of the characters, he could feel Ye Tian's calligraphy skills from the powerful strokes.
When Ye Tian drew the last stroke, Lei Wu couldn't help but shout loudly: "Good words!"
On the one hand, Lei Wu has the meaning of flattering Ye Tian, but on the other hand, he really admires it, with Ye Tian's penmanship, as long as he writes something that others can understand, it may be called calligraphy.
"Good words?" After hearing Lei Wu's words, Ye Tian said angrily: "Boss Lei, can you understand?"
"Ahem......
Boss Lei didn't expect the flattery to hit the horse's feet, so he coughed a little awkwardly and said sarcastically: "I don't understand, but Master Ye's pen is flowing like water, and this is something that can never be done in more than ten years......"
"It's useless, this painting is costly!"
Ye Tian shook his head, this kind of talisman he drew, there is a name in the inheritance called the Peach Blossom Treasure Slashing Fu, using the power of heaven and earth energy to cut off the promiscuous peach blossoms, resolve the peach blossom tribulation, separate third parties or competitors, and eliminate emotional competition and resistance.
However, although Ye Tian knew how to make talismans, there was a bit of incongruity between reciting the formula and drawing the talisman with his hands, but this first talisman was scrapped.
Generally, simple talismans are called "compound text" and "cloud seal", most of which are composed of two or more small characters, and a few are formed by a combination of multiple horizontal and vertical twisted strokes.
The talisman Ye Tian is now making is a "spiritual talisman" that has long been lost in the magic world.
This kind of talisman is extremely complex to draw, and the person who needs to make it can communicate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I am afraid that in addition to Ye Tian in the world, even the contemporary heavenly master of the Heavenly Master Dao cannot be drawn.
After giving a little explanation to the thunder mist, Ye Tian restrained his mind, adjusted his breathing, and continued to draw, the thunder mist on the side held his breath, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of disturbing Ye Tian.
However, "Master Ye's" craftsmanship in making talismans was a bit trendy, and after drawing three in a row, all of them were scrapped, continuously mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth, causing Ye Tian's forehead to sweat and his breathing to become a little rapid.
Boss Lei poured a cup of tea with a wink and handed it over, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ye, do you want to take a break before drawing?"
"It's okay, I haven't drawn this thing for a long time, the next one should be okay......"
Ye Tian shook his head, and after standing still at the desk for a while, he started drawing again, this time he moved his pen faster and faster, and before Boss Lei could see it clearly, dozens of lines of complex runes jumped on the paper.
"Done!"
As Ye Tian stopped drinking, Lei Wu found a flower in front of him, and the yellow paper full of runes actually flashed with dazzling golden light, although it was only a fraction of a second, but it was already shocking to Lei Wu.
"It's finally done, it's actually more difficult than making a magic weapon......"
Casually dropping the brush, Ye Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, this Peach Blossom Treasure Slashing Talisman did consume a lot of his mind.
"Well, yes, although the yellow paper is a little worse, this talisman can be used for half a year......" Reaching out and pinching the top of the talisman, after taking it in front of him and examining it carefully, Ye Tian nodded, which was quite satisfied.
"Master Ye, this ...... Is this done?"
Watching the golden light disappear, which was full of yellow paper full of ghostly drawings, Lei Wu had actually believed 90% in his heart, he was sure that he was definitely not blinded just now.
"That's right, this talisman is the contemporary Zhang Tianshi, I'm afraid you can't draw it, you carry this talisman with you, any evil energy can be blocked from the body!"
Holding this talisman, Ye Tian couldn't help but show an arrogant look on his face, this thing was definitely not cheaper than a magic weapon in the eyes of a knowledgeable person.
