Chapter 281: Preparation for drawing symbols(1/2)
When Wang Siqi and the others left, Lin Bufan opened his eyes and suddenly had the idea of closing the Maoshan Hall. Lin Bufan really didn't want to continue driving. Lin Bufan felt that opening this Maoshan Hall was more tiring than being a ghost. Being a ghost is physically tired, but now Lin Bufan is tired, and the Maoshan Hall opened by Lin Bufan has not made much money yet.
Lin Bufan stood up and walked to the cabinet on the first floor to open the door of the cabinet. Today is Sunday, the day after tomorrow, the fourth day of the eighth lunar month, Lin Bufan promised Zhao Ming to move his grandfather to the grave that day. There are still three days left for Lin Bufan to prepare everything he should prepare.
Buddhists mainly recite mantras when doing rituals, while Taoists rely mainly on magic tools and mantras when opening the altar.
Lin Bufan first took out a token. The shape of the token is round and below, symbolizing the heaven and earth. The token is a sacred magic weapon used by Taoists to send gods. It has the function of warding off evil spirits and can also be used to send thunder gods. The shape and pattern of the token are not exactly the same as the pattern. For example, some are engraved with dragons or swords, some are engraved with "Five Thunder Orders" and "Total Calls of Ten Thousand Gods", etc., while Lin Bufan is the token of Laojun, with portraits of Taishang Laojun on both sides.
Next is the Three-Clean Bell. The Three-Clean Bell is called the Emperor Bell, the Dharma Bell, the Dharma Bell, and the magic weapon used by Taoists when they are practicing rituals. The Emperor Bell has a handle, and the handle end is called "Sword", which is in the shape of "mountain". It is a symbol of the Three-Clean Emperor, representing the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and the Taiqing Daode Tianzun. The Emperor Bell has the function of subduing gods and exorcising demons. When the mage casts a spell, it shakes with a single hand handle, and its ding-tinging sound means "vibrating the magic bell, gods and ghosts, Xianqin". An important magic weapon in Taoist rituals. One of the indispensable magic weapons in Taoist rituals (divine meetings).
There are also magic swords and magic swords: also known as "sword", "divine sword, divine sword, Hui sword, spiritual sword, seven-star sword, green dragon sword, and demon-slaying sword." On both sides of the steel-forged sword body, each of them is inlaid with bronze seven-star patterns, and there are dragons and talismans near the hilt of the sword. Taoism believes that swords are powerful magic weapons to kill demons and demons. Zhang Tianshi's family treasures are the swords and the Tianshi Seal. Usually, the seven-star sword with thin swords is used together with two hands, and sometimes they can be held in two hands, also known as "double swords" or "combined swords". There is also a wooden sword with talismans engraved on the sword, which is mostly made of peach wood carvings that can ward off evil spirits, also known as "peach swords". When Taoists practice magic, there are also people who use kitchen knives instead of magic swords. Lin Bufan planned to use the money sword left by his master as a magic sword.
When opening the altar, you also need to sacrifice lively. Generally, you will choose a big red-crowned rooster as a sacrifice. This is a must. If the family is in good condition, you can also roast a suckling pig about 100 kilograms as a sacrifice, and then it is a offering. What is the offering? In fact, it is a steamed bun. It is generally used when celebrating ancestors and houses with beams. The offering to worship ancestors is a black dot on the steamed bun, and the offering to be on the beams of the house is a red dot on the steamed bun.
Next, you need to prepare the talismans required for opening the cauldron. The talismans required for relocation of graves are called the talisman. There are two types of evil spirits, one is called Baisha and the other is called Xisha. Conflict Baisha refers to attending or encountering funeral ceremonies, cremation ceremonies, funeral banquets, funeral ceremonies, funeral ceremonies, grave removal ceremonies, grave repair ceremonies, etc., and the evil spirits that are provoked are Baisha. Conflict Happy Evil refers to attending or encountering engagement ceremonies, marriage ceremonies, wedding banquets (including the woman's wedding banquets), contacting wedding supplies, etc., and the evil spirits that are provoked are happy evil spirits. Common symptoms of Chongsha are high fever, low fever, unrestrained whole body, weakness of limbs, sore back pain, dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea, lack of energy, drowsiness, anxiety, irritability, dizziness, chest tightness
Shortness of breath, difficulty in calming down, nightmares, nightmares sweating, loss of appetite, dark circles of eyes, dry hair, cold hands and feet, etc., and the above symptoms cannot be completely cured and continue to recur. When the above situation occurs, they are the most common symptoms of collision with evil spirits. Not only do you need to go to the hospital for treatment, but you also need to check with Taoist priests like Lin Bufan and others. Take two-pronged approaches and treat them simultaneously to avoid delaying the condition. There is only one purpose, which is to send away evil spirits and recover as soon as possible. Real diseases and deficiency diseases complement each other and harm each other. As long as you prescribe the right medicine and find the root of the disease, you will definitely cure the disease. Treating the actual disease only blindly, but not the deficiency disease, will naturally not be able to recover; treating the deficiency disease alone, regardless of the deficiency disease, is also futile.
Generally, people who like to fight against evil are people with unclear horoscopes. The so-called people with unclear horoscopes usually refer to those who have not been born at the time of reservation, premature birth, caesarean section, etc., all belong to people with unclear horoscopes.
At this time, Lin Bufan took the yellow talisman paper, wolf pen and cinnabar in the drawer to the table and started drawing the talisman. The total number of evil-controlling talismans required for opening the cage is 108. It represents thirty-six heavenly gangs and seventy-two earthly witches. When Lin Bufan thought that he would draw 108 evil-controlling talismans, he would be hurt. Lin Bufan thought that it would be great if the second pillar was here at this time. That silly boy liked to draw talismans the most. Besides, the evil-controlling talismans are not a high-level talisman, and the second pillar should be able to draw it. Although the boss does not believe in these, Lin Bufan cannot fool others. Even if he is doing a show, Lin Bufan will do enough for others.
Lin Bufan sat on the chair and drew more than fifty evil-suppressing talismans in one breath. At this moment, Lin Bufan's clothes were completely soaked in sweat. Although drawing talismans could not consume much of their own Taoist power, drawing 50 photos in one breath would be a bit too exhausted in the body's power. Lin Bufan first wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hands, then got up and walked to the sofa and poured himself a cup of herbal tea and drank it.
Liu Mei, Liu Qian, Erbiao and Brother Feng went to the second floor to play poker as soon as they appeared. Today, the four of them did not rush to go upstairs after they appeared. They surrounded Lin Bufan in the middle and looked at Lin Bufan with all concentration, which made Lin Bufan feel a little puzzled.
"Is there anything on my face?" Lin Bufan asked them while touching his face. The four of them didn't say anything but shook their heads at Lin Bufan, which meant that there was nothing on Lin Bufan's face.
"Then why are you four watching me if you don't play poker?" Lin Bufan asked in confusion.
"Liu Qian, tell me." Liu Mei stabbed Liu Qian and said.
"Let Brother Feng talk about this!" Liu Qian pushed Brother Feng to Lin Bufan.
"Erbiao, please tell Master Lin about this." Brother Feng took a step back and pushed Erbiao in front of Lin Bufan.
"Sister Liu Mei, I think it's better for you to say this." Erbiao hid behind Liu Mei after saying this.
"What are you going to do? Just say what you have to do, don't hide it." Lin Bufan said to the four of them angrily.
"It's like this, Master Lin. I've been tired of playing poker these days. Can you cook a pair of mahjong for four of us?" Liu Mei said to Lin Bufan embarrassedly.
"Okay, it's a bit late today. I'll do this for you tomorrow." Lin Bufan nodded and agreed. When Lin Bufan finished saying this, the corners of their mouths were raised and laughed at the same time.
"Thank you, Master Lin." Liu Mei said politely to Lin Bufan.
"It's okay, is there anything else for you four?" Lin Bufan said to them.
"We're fine again. You can rest, Master Lin, let's go upstairs to play poker." The four of them walked upstairs with a happy look on their faces.
Looking at the four of them, Lin Bufan, shook his head, there is a saying, "The today you wasted is the tomorrow that the people who died yesterday hoped for. The four of them also want to live well. Lin Bufan only has less than two months left for them. Lin Bufan will satisfy them as much as possible, because Lin Bufan doesn't want them to leave with regrets when they are reincarnated.
Lying on the sofa, Lin Bufan couldn't help but put his eyelids down. During the two days of Maoshan Hall decoration, Lin Bufan woke up almost every day at five o'clock. Then Lin Bufan was busy for a whole day and didn't even have time to take a nap. I didn't know how Lin Bufan was sitting on the sofa and fell asleep.
That night, Lin Bufan had a very strange dream. Lin Bufan dreamed of Wang Siqi. Wang Siqi in the dream was no longer a yin and yang face. The green mark on her left had completely disappeared. What appeared in front of Lin Bufan was a fair and flawless face. Wang Siqi looked at Lin Bufan and kept crying. Lin Bufan asked her why she cried, but she didn't speak.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Brother, please open the door." Foreman Wang, the leader of the decoration team, knocked on the door of Maoshantang. It was already six o'clock in the morning when Lin Bufan opened his eyes.
Lin Bufan got up from the sofa and opened the door of Maoshan Hall and put the people from the decoration team in.
"Why are you here so late today?" Lin Bufan asked yawning.
"Actually, we came at five o'clock. I lay on the door and saw that you were sleeping, so I didn't have the nerve to wake you up." Foreman Wang rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.
"I'm a little tired these days. I didn't notice it at all when you come today. I'm sorry." Lin Bufan scratched the back of his head and said to Foreman Wang embarrassedly.
"Big brother, I'm curious about something. Can I ask you?"
"Foreman Wang, please tell me what you have to do."
"I see that the business of opening a Taoist hall is very popular, with cars parked in front of the door and behind the door. Your business..." Foreman Wang paused when he said this, and Lin Bufan also understood what he said.
"My Maoshan Hall has been open for less than two months, so there are not many customers." Lin Bufan said awkwardly.
"Big brother, I can tell at a glance that you are a good person. This is my business card. If you don't open this Taoist temple in the future, you can come to me. At least it's okay to make a living." After saying that, Foreman Wang handed a business card to Lin Bufan.
"Okay, thank you." Lin Bufan said as he looked at the business card in his hand.
"Then I'll go up to work first, let's talk later when we have time." After saying this, Foreman Wang walked upstairs.
Lin Bufan just carefully measured Foreman Wang. His thick eyebrows meant that he was a honest man. There was an inch wide distance between his eyebrows, which meant that this person was broad-minded and not care about minor details. If the two eyebrows were connected together, it meant that this person was very stingy. Foreman Wang looked kind and was indeed a person worth making friends.
Lin Bufan didn't plan to go out today. Lin Bufan had to finish painting the unfinished evil talisman. There was not much time left. Logically speaking, the family who moved the grave should come to take Lin Bufan to see the two graves. Since Zhao Ming and Lin Bufan discussed the grave relocation, there has been no news. People have not taken the grave relocation seriously at all, and Lin Bufan is too lazy to care about so much.
Because the sound on the upper floor was too loud, Lin Bufan first found two cotton balls to block his ears, then picked up the wolf pen on the table and dipped it in a cinnabar to continue drawing the talisman. Before Lin Bufan could draw ten talismans, the third brother ran in.
"Brother Third, why are you here so early?" Lin Bufan looked at the clock on the wall before seven o'clock. It is said that the third brother usually goes to bed after three o'clock. Lin Bufan was a little surprised when he came so early today.
"Don't ask me why I'm here so early. What are you doing upstairs? Ping-pong." The third brother walked upstairs as he said.
"Don't go up there, the upstairs is being renovated." Lin Bufan said to the third brother.
"You old boy is not sick, are you? This house is well up and downstairs? Besides, we rented it, not bought it, you also loaded and unloaded it for others after decorating it. Also, where can you get the money for decoration?" The third brother frowned and pointed at Lin Bufan and said.
"I don't have the money to decorate this house." Lin Bufan said powerlessly.
"Then what happened?" The third brother was a little confused.
"It was the landlord who paid for the renovation."
"Impossible, the landlord here is my friend's friend. He is famously stingy. He will definitely not be so kind to pay for you to decorate." The third brother did not believe Lin Bufan's words at all.
"Because the landlord here is no longer the previous landlord."
"The landlord here is no longer the previous landlord. I don't understand what it means." The third brother repeated Lin Bufan's words and said.
"The store house we rented has been bought by Wang Siqi."
"Does Wang Siqi you mentioned often drive Mercedes-Benz to your yin-yang-faced girl?" asked the third brother.
"That's right, it's him." Lin Bufan nodded and said.
"Does she buys this place to support you?" The third brother's face was filled with joy when he said this.
"San brother, what are you talking nonsense?" Lin Bufan said to the third brother angrily.
"It's not bad, in fact, that girl has nothing but ugly. Their money is enough to fill this shortcoming. To be honest, I think you two are quite suitable. We have agreed that if you have money in the future, you can't forget your third brother." The third brother said this with a wretched smile.
"Okay, don't say these useless things anymore. Has the boss who moved the grave contacted you?" Lin Bufan pulled the topic away.
"That boss called me yesterday. They said that they would send a car to pick you up the morning after tomorrow. You just need to prepare your things and wait in Maoshantang." The third brother sat on the sofa and said to Lin Bufan.
"Actually, it's best to take me to their two cemeteries first." Lin Bufan said cautiously.
"I don't think that's necessary, so don't care too much. Just wait until the day after tomorrow." After saying this, the third brother began to fiddle with the tea set on the tea machine.
For some reason, Lin Bufan felt a little uneasy and always felt something was going to happen. Lin Bufan shook his head and began to continue drawing talismans. When it was past nine o'clock in the morning, Bai Haoteng brought Wang Hetong to Maoshan Hall.
Bai Haoteng nodded politely at the third brother, saying hello. The third brother also nodded at Bai Haoteng. When the third brother saw Wang Hetong behind Bai Haoteng, his face turned pale.
"Stern brother, are you here too?" Wang Hetong walked to the side of the third brother with no surprise and sat down.
"Ah, I just arrived." As the third brother said this, sweat as big as beans flowed down his forehead.
"Brother Third, the crab you invited us that day was so delicious. Let's go and eat it at noon today." Wang Hetong gave a charming look at Brother Third when he said this.
"Let's talk about it another day. I have something to do. You guys, you guys." After saying this, the third brother walked out of Maoshan Hall in shame. His tea was just half brewed. In fact, the third brother is not stingy. He is definitely the kind of person who has a penny to spend for you, but he feels that the money should be spent on the place where he should spend it. The more than 2,000 spent at lunch that day made the third brother feel distressed. He feels that there is no need to spend so much for a meal. In fact, let alone the third brother feel distressed about this matter, even Lin Bufan feels distressed about the more than 2,000 yuan.
"You two came here very early today." Lin Bufan said to Bai Haoteng and the others with a smile.
"I went back to bed last night, so I came here for breakfast today." Bai Haoteng smiled. His smile was not as natural as before. At this time, Bai Haoteng smiled a little reluctantly.
"You're done, Senior Brother Bai, don't I know who you are! You didn't sleep the other night last night, right?" Wang Hetong said with a pout. After Wang Hetong said this, Lin Bufan could also see Bai Haoteng's deep dark circles hanging on his eyes. He was so cheerful that he seemed much decadent.
"Brother Bai, why are you doing this?" Lin Bufan looked at Bai Haoteng and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Lin, don't persuade him anymore. Senior Brother Bai likes to be stubborn. Anyone who advises him is in vain. You should let him think about it yourself. When he figures it out, he will come out." After Wang Hetong said this, he walked to the sofa and took off his shoes and lay down. Then she took out the snacks under the tea machine. They were hazelnuts, pistachios, and melon seeds. Wang Hetong ate them while fighting for the landlord. Her carefree personality is indeed enviable.
"Brother Bai, don't stand at the door, hurry up and sit down." Lin Bufan pointed to the sofa and said to Bai Haoteng.
"Okay." Bai Haoteng nodded and walked to the sofa with expressionless face and sat down.
"Yesterday, one of my little brothers gave me some fresh tea and you can try it." Lin Bufan threw the tea that Sun Wei gave him in front of Bai Haoteng.
"Brother Lin, don't worry about him, let him get stuck in the slightest position." Wang Hetong said to Lin Bufan while knocking on melon seeds.
"Brother Bai, what do you think is that you can't think about it? Your mentality is not good." Lin Bufan said to Bai Haoteng while making tea.
"Oh, I don't want to think so much, but I am such a person. I love to get through some things with myself." Bai Haoteng said with a frown.
"You can't learn from He Tong's character. You don't take anything to your heart. You should eat and drink." Lin Bufan said to Bai Haoteng with a smile.
"She is the best in my life, I'm afraid I will never learn it in my life." Bai Haoteng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Are you two praising me or burying me?" Wang Hetong raised her head and shouted at the two of them.
"Praise you, praise you." Lin Bufan and Bai Haoteng said together.
"This is almost the same. I'm sorry you don't dare to bury me, hum!" Wang Hetong continued to eat after saying this.
As soon as Wang Hetong finished speaking, Bai Haoteng's phone rang. At this moment, Bai Haoteng looked nervous because he knew that the call must have been called by the elders of the Taoist Association at this time.
Bai Haoteng took out the phone and looked at the phone in a daze. He didn't know whether it should be answered or not.
To be continued...
