“The art of talismans is broadly divided into three stages and nine grades. The highest transcends the three realms and alters the universe; the middle moves mountains and seas, commands gods and bans ghosts; the lowest calls wind and rain, manipulates the five elements. Although you, my disciple, have already formed your golden core, since your Taoist techniques are not yet unlocked, you must start with the art of talismans. The lower stage is further divided into three grades, the lowest of which is the talisman of yin-yang, the four symbols, and the five elements. It is the most basic of things. Let me demonstrate for you first…”
Zhang Shisan was overjoyed. Earlier, he had claimed that Master Ku had already instructed Mei Qing in the Six Phases method. Now, he seized the opportunity to teach, pulling Mei Qing into his guest room to impart the art of talismans.
In his mind, he thought that it would take Mei Qing at least three to five months to grasp the basics of talisman art. By then, his disciple’s wife would have been rescued, and even if Mei Qing didn’t continue to follow him obediently, it wouldn’t matter.
Beside him, a small jade inkstone had appeared at some point, with finely ground cinnabar. A stack of yellow paper lay before him. Zhang Shisan held a small brush, swiftly drawing a talisman. He chanted a spell and threw it towards the northeast, saying, “Gui Wei generates Kan, the water spirit commands! Swiftly!”
As soon as the talisman flew out, it transformed into a ball of clear water. With a wave of Zhang Shisan’s hand, it turned into a mist and disappeared.
“See? This is the Water Spirit Talisman,” Zhang Shisan said, stroking his sparse beard with a proud smile.
Mei Qing’s eyes widened in amazement. He had always thought talismans were merely for combat, unaware of the intricacies involved.
Seeing Mei Qing’s reaction, Zhang Shisan’s smile widened. He handed the talisman paper and brush to Mei Qing, saying, “How about it? Want to give it a try?”
Mei Qing was eager. He took the brush and paper, not rushing to start but instead recalling Zhang Shisan’s movements in his mind.
While most Taoists were familiar with drawing talismans, Mei Qing was a complete novice. His only experience was with a tracking talisman, which had turned out disastrously. If not for a secret technique, it would have been useless.
The Earth Spirit Crane Talisman he used today, though named a talisman, was more akin to a magical tool, closer to the art of controlling objects rather than a true talisman.
Though Mei Qing lacked practical experience in drawing talismans, he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Unburdened by preconceived notions, his understanding of talismans was unique among cultivators.
When examining Sun Busan’s talisman, Mei Qing had subconsciously equated talisman drawing with calligraphy.
No cultivator had ever thought this way. While talismans were written in cloud script, this script was vastly different from ordinary seal script. Few could recognize it, and the script used in talismans was even more complex. Since no one could read it, how could they discuss its writing techniques?
Mei Qing was different. He recognized cloud script and, after his experience translating texts at the Dongyue Temple, had a deep understanding of it. Though the script in talismans varied greatly, its essence remained the same. For example, the Water Spirit Talisman Zhang Shisan had drawn was based on the cloud script for “water” and “Kan,” with slight variations. To Mei Qing, it was almost like writing.
However, Zhang Shisan’s brushwork had subtle nuances, with a flow of true energy that animated the talisman, forming a small, self-sustaining magical array.
Recalling the vitality he sensed when examining Sun Busan’s talisman with his spiritual sense, Mei Qing realized that the true power of a talisman lay not in the script itself but in the true energy infused by the creator.
This true energy, guided by the creator’s spiritual sense, formed a symbolic array on the paper. Through chants and hand seals, it manipulated the flow of yin-yang and the five elements, producing various magical effects.
Thus, Mei Qing focused his mind, guiding his true energy through the brush under the light of the sun and moon. Following the intent of Zhang Shisan’s talisman, he swiftly drew a Water Spirit Talisman.
Zhang Shisan watched silently, a smile on his face, already planning his next move.
The Five Spirit Talismans were basic for any beginner. They had little practical use but served as an entry point, much like practicing strokes in calligraphy. This was why Zhang Shisan dared to teach Mei Qing before formally accepting him as a disciple. The first-grade talismans were common knowledge among all sects, not a secret.
Though simple, without proper guidance, it was impossible to succeed.
As the saying goes, “Drawing a talisman without knowing the key points only amuses the spirits; knowing the key points startles them.” The art of talismans involved many details, from the flow of true energy to posture, brush techniques, and the sequence of strokes. Even the simplest five-element talisman took beginners at least a month or two to master, with most attempts ending in failure.
Thus, while Zhang Shisan demonstrated the talisman, he deliberately omitted the key points, waiting to see Mei Qing struggle and come begging for guidance, thereby securing him as a disciple.
Seeing Mei Qing’s approach, Zhang Shisan was certain he was a novice. His strokes, transitions, and techniques were all wrong. Though his brushwork was smooth, indicating careful observation, many details were missed. Zhang Shisan planned to criticize Mei Qing before gradually revealing some secrets to bind him.
However, what happened next completely surprised Zhang Shisan.
Mei Qing’s brush moved like a dragon, completing the talisman in one go. As he finished the last stroke, a faint water spirit energy emanated from the talisman.
It was a success!
Though not yet activated, Zhang Shisan’s keen spiritual sense immediately detected the vibrant energy, realizing that despite Mei Qing’s seemingly chaotic and rule-breaking approach, he had succeeded.
How was this possible?
Zhang Shisan’s eyes widened, and he stammered, unable to speak. Mei Qing’s posture, intent, brushwork, and talisman form all defied convention. How could he have succeeded?
Was it sheer luck, a once-in-a-century coincidence?
That must be it. Zhang Shisan nodded inwardly, unable to find any other explanation.
Thinking he had the answer, Zhang Shisan looked up to speak to Mei Qing but saw him holding the talisman and chanting. Upon closer inspection, Zhang Shisan was nearly infuriated.
Mei Qing, with his strong spiritual sense, knew he had succeeded. Unaware of the difficulty others faced, he thought success was natural. Naturally, he tried to mimic Zhang Shisan, chanting the spell and attempting to activate the talisman into water.
But strangely, after chanting the spell several times and throwing the talisman, no water appeared. It had no effect.
“What’s going on?” Mei Qing frowned, puzzled. “Did I draw it wrong?”
“You fool, you’re killing me!” Zhang Shisan suddenly smacked Mei Qing’s neck, glaring. “Is this how you activate a talisman? Do you think it’s like flying a kite or throwing paper money? How did you not just die from stupidity!”
Confused, Mei Qing listened as Zhang Shisan explained.
Successfully drawing a talisman was only the first step. Activating it required further considerations, especially for five-element talismans, which aligned with yin-yang and the five elements. The timing, hand seals, and direction of activation all varied based on the hour.
Zhang Shisan extended his left hand, explaining the hand seals joint by joint. He taught Mei Qing the chant: “When forming the seal, first determine the yin-yang hour based on the year, month, day, and time. Then examine the four symbols and five elements before using the talisman. The finger seals have their own sequence. As the saying goes, ‘The wild horse leaps the stream, counting from Yin to Dog; one day passes one palace, without Hai, Zi, or Chou.’ This is the Mountain-Pushing Palm Seal. You must follow this chant, determine the position, and then activate.”
Mei Qing finally understood. The five-element talisman not only required true energy in its creation but also needed to be activated in harmony with the time, environment, and direction to be effective.
Like a thin paper window, once Zhang Shisan pierced through, there was no more difficulty. Mei Qing focused his mind, his golden core’s true energy flowing through his body onto the talisman. Following the direction, he formed the seal and chanted, “Gui Wei generates Kan, the water spirit commands! Swiftly!”
The talisman floated up, transforming into a ball of clear water that fell to the ground, leaving a wet mark.
Zhang Shisan was once again speechless.
Zhang Shisan was overjoyed. Just now, he had claimed that Master Ku had already instructed Mei Qing in the Six Phases method, and now it was his turn to take the lead in teaching, grabbing Mei Qing into his room to begin instructing him in the talisman techniques.
In his mind, once Mei Qing started learning talisman techniques, it would take at least three to five months before he could even begin to grasp the basics. By then, his apprentice’s wife should have been rescued, and wouldn’t Mei Qing naturally continue to follow him for instruction?
Beside him, a small jade inkstone had somehow appeared, with fine, high-quality cinnabar ground upon it. A stack of yellow paper lay before him. Zhang Shisan held a small brush in hand, swiftly and precisely painting a small talisman. With a hand seal, he threw it toward the northeast, chanting the incantation: “Gui Wei generates Kan; water spirits are the rule! Quick!”
As the talisman flew forth, it transformed into a mass of water. With a wave of Zhang Shisan’s hand, it turned into a misty vapor and vanished.
“See that? That’s the Water Spirit Talisman,” Zhang Shisan said proudly, stroking his sparse beard.
Mei Qing’s eyes widened. So this was the wondrous power of talismans! He had always thought talismans were merely for fighting and killing, never realizing there were so many subtleties involved.
Seeing Mei Qing’s expression, Zhang Shisan’s smile widened. He handed the brush and talisman paper to Mei Qing. “Well? Want to give it a try?”
Mei Qing had been eager to try for a while. Upon hearing this, he naturally didn’t hesitate, grabbing the paper and brush. He didn’t rush to start but instead silently recalled from beginning to end how Zhang Shisan had drawn the talisman earlier.
As for drawing talismans, anyone who entered the Daoist path would naturally be very familiar. But Mei Qing was a complete novice. His only prior attempt had been the tracking talisman, which had gone terribly wrong. Without relying on secret techniques to force success, he wouldn’t have been able to activate the talisman at all.
As for the Earth Spirit Crane Talisman he used today, though it bore the name of a talisman, it was in fact more akin to a magical artifact, or more accurately, a form of spirit-commanding technique, not a true talisman in the conventional sense.
Though Mei Qing lacked the most basic practical ability in drawing talismans, he did possess a wealth of theoretical knowledge. Without any preconceived notions, his understanding of talismans was likely different from any other cultivator in the world.
While examining the talisman from Sun Busan, Mei Qing had instinctively equated drawing talismans with calligraphy.
No cultivator in the world had ever thought of it this way. Although talismans were said to be written in cloud script, this script was vastly different from ordinary small seal script, and no one in the world could read it. Moreover, the cloud script used in talismans was far more complex than the standard version. Since no one could recognize the script, how could there be any discussion of writing techniques?
Mei Qing, however, was different. He could already recognize cloud script, and after his experience translating texts at Dongyue Temple, his understanding was extremely profound. Though the cloud script in talismans varied greatly, they all followed a fundamental principle. Take the Water Spirit Talisman Zhang Shisan had just drawn—it was based on the cloud script for “water” and “Kan,” with only slight variations. To Mei Qing, it was almost no different from writing ordinary characters.
However, the brush techniques Zhang Shisan employed were quite profound. The strokes’ beginnings, transitions, turns, and endings were all meaningful, subtly imbued with true essence that animated the entire talisman, forming a small, self-sustaining magical formation.
Recalling the vibrant energy he had sensed when observing Sun Busan’s talisman with his mind’s eye, Mei Qing realized that the true power of a talisman did not lie in the script itself, but in the essence of the talismanist that was infused into it.
This essence was guided by the talismanist’s spiritual intent, forming a symbolically significant magical array on the paper talisman. Then, through incantations and seals, the flow of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements was activated, producing various magical effects.
Thus, Mei Qing followed his own understanding, focusing his mind on his dantian, guiding the essence from his golden core through the brush tip under the illumination of sun and moon. Following the design Zhang Shisan had drawn, he confidently swept the brush across the paper. Before long, he had completed a Water Spirit Talisman.
Zhang Shisan had been watching with a smile, saying nothing, but already plotting in his mind.
These Five Elemental Talismans were the first every beginner learned. In themselves, they held little practical use, but like learning calligraphy by practicing strokes, they served as the foundation for further study. Precisely for this reason, Zhang Shisan had dared to teach Mei Qing before formally accepting him as a disciple. Because these lowest-grade talismans were common knowledge shared by all sects and not considered any sect’s secret.
Although simple, without a master’s guidance, one could never succeed through random attempts alone.
The art of talismans is broadly divided into three tiers and nine grades. The highest tier transcends the three realms and can alter the course of the universe; the middle tier can move mountains and seas, command gods, and suppress demons; the lowest tier can summon wind and rain, and manipulate the five elements. Although you, my disciple, have already formed your golden core, since your Daoist techniques are not yet unlocked, you must start with the art of talismans. The lowest tier is further divided into three grades, with the first grade being the most basic, involving talismans of yin and yang, the four symbols, and the five elements. Let me demonstrate for you first…
Zhang Shisan was overjoyed. Earlier, he had claimed that Master Ku had already taught Mei Qing the Six Phases method, and now it was his turn to take the lead in teaching. He brought Mei Qing to his guest room, intending to teach him the art of talismans.
In his mind, he thought that it would take Mei Qing at least three to five months to even begin to grasp the basics of talisman-making. By then, his disciple’s wife would have been rescued, and even if Mei Qing didn’t continue to follow him obediently, it wouldn’t matter.
Beside him, a small jade inkstone had appeared at some point, with finely ground cinnabar on it. A stack of yellow paper was laid out in front of him. Zhang Shisan held a small brush, swiftly drawing a talisman. With a flick of his hand and a muttered incantation, he threw the talisman towards the northeast, chanting, “Gui Wei generates Kan, the water spirit commands! Swiftly!”
As soon as the talisman flew out, it transformed into a ball of clear water. With a wave of Zhang Shisan’s hand, it turned into a mist and disappeared.
“See? This is the Water Spirit Talisman,” Zhang Shisan said, stroking his sparse beard with a proud smile.
Mei Qing’s eyes widened in amazement. He had always thought talismans were just for combat, but he had no idea there was so much depth to them.
Seeing Mei Qing’s reaction, Zhang Shisan’s smile widened. He handed the talisman paper and brush to Mei Qing and said, “How about it? Want to give it a try?”
Mei Qing was eager to try. He took the brush and paper, but instead of rushing into it, he silently recalled every detail of how Zhang Shisan had drawn the talisman.
For anyone who had entered the Daoist path, drawing talismans would be second nature, but Mei Qing was a complete novice. His only experience with talisman-making was the Tracking Talisman, which had turned out disastrously. If it weren’t for a secret technique that forced it to work, the talisman would have been useless.
As for the Earth Spirit Crane Talisman he had used earlier, although it was called a talisman, it was more akin to a magical tool, or more accurately, a technique of controlling objects, not a true talisman in the strictest sense.
Although Mei Qing lacked practical experience in drawing talismans, he had a wealth of theoretical knowledge. And because he wasn’t bound by any preconceived notions, his understanding of talismans was likely different from any other cultivator in the world.
When examining Sun Busan’s talisman, Mei Qing had unconsciously equated talisman-drawing with calligraphy.
No cultivator in the world had ever thought of it this way. Although talismans were said to be written in cloud script, this script was vastly different from ordinary seal script. No one in the world could recognize it, and the cloud script used for talismans was even more complex than the usual cloud script. Since no one could read this script, how could they discuss the method of writing it?
But Mei Qing was different. He was already familiar with cloud script, and after his experience translating texts at the Dongyue Temple, his understanding of the script had deepened to an extreme level. Although the cloud script on talismans was highly variable, its essence remained the same. For example, the Water Spirit Talisman that Zhang Shisan had just drawn was based on the cloud script for “water” and “Kan,” with slight variations. To Mei Qing, it was almost like writing characters.
However, Zhang Shisan’s brushwork during the drawing process was quite intricate, with subtle changes in the strokes, transitions, and connections, all infused with a flow of true essence that seemed to form a small, self-sustaining magical array.
Recalling the vibrant energy he had sensed when examining Sun Busan’s talisman with his spiritual sense, Mei Qing realized that what truly made a talisman effective was not the script itself, but the true essence infused into it by the talisman-maker.
This true essence was guided by the talisman-maker’s spiritual sense, forming a symbolic array on the paper, which, when activated by incantations and hand seals, manipulated the flow of yin, yang, and the five elements to produce various magical effects.
With this in mind, Mei Qing focused his mind, drawing on the true essence from his golden core under the influence of the sun and moon, and guided it through the brush. Following the pattern Zhang Shisan had used, he swiftly drew a Water Spirit Talisman.
Zhang Shisan watched with a smile, saying nothing, but he had already made up his mind.
The Five Spirit Talismans were something every beginner had to practice. They weren’t particularly useful in themselves, but they served as a foundation, much like practicing basic strokes in calligraphy. This was why Zhang Shisan dared to teach Mei Qing talisman-making before formally accepting him as a disciple. The first-grade talismans of the lowest tier were the same across all sects and weren’t considered secret teachings.
Although simple, without a master’s guidance, it was nearly impossible to succeed by oneself.
As the saying goes, “Drawing talismans without knowing the secrets only amuses the ghosts; drawing talismans with the secrets startles the ghosts.” The art of talismans was highly intricate, involving the activation of true essence, body posture, brush techniques, stroke order, transitions, and more. Even the simplest five-element talisman would take a beginner at least a month or two to master, and even then, success was rare, with most attempts ending in failure.
So, although Zhang Shisan had demonstrated the talisman to Mei Qing, he deliberately withheld the key details, waiting to see Mei Qing struggle and come begging for guidance, which would be the perfect opportunity to make him formally accept him as his master.
Seeing Mei Qing’s approach, Zhang Shisan was even more convinced that he was a complete novice. From the way he held the brush to the transitions and connections, nothing was done correctly. Although the strokes were smooth, indicating that Mei Qing had observed carefully, there were many subtle details he had missed. Zhang Shisan was already planning how to criticize Mei Qing and then gradually reveal some secrets to him, to firmly ensnare him.
But what happened next completely surprised Zhang Shisan.
Mei Qing’s brush moved like a dragon, flowing effortlessly. As he completed the final stroke and lifted the brush, a faint water spirit energy emanated from the talisman.
It was a success!
Although the talisman hadn’t been activated yet, Zhang Shisan’s keen spiritual sense immediately detected the vibrant energy on the talisman. Despite Mei Qing’s seemingly haphazard and rule-breaking approach, he had somehow succeeded.
How was this possible?
Zhang Shisan’s eyes widened like copper bells, and he stammered, “You… you… you…” but couldn’t find the words. From his posture to his brushwork and the talisman’s form, Mei Qing had broken every rule, yet he had succeeded.
Could it really be a coincidence, a once-in-a-century fluke?
That must be it. There was no other explanation. Zhang Shisan nodded to himself, convinced that this was the only possible answer.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Shisan looked up at Mei Qing, about to say something, but then he saw Mei Qing holding the talisman and muttering an incantation. Upon closer inspection, Zhang Shisan was so angry he almost lost his temper.
Mei Qing, with his strong spiritual sense, knew immediately that he had succeeded. Unaware of how difficult it was for others to master talisman-making, he thought success was only natural. He then tried to mimic Zhang Shisan’s earlier actions, chanting the incantation and attempting to activate the talisman to turn it into water.
But strangely, no matter how many times Mei Qing chanted the incantation and threw the talisman, it produced no water vapor and had no effect.
“What’s going on?” Mei Qing frowned, deep in thought. “Did I draw it wrong?”
“You fool, you’re driving me mad!” Just as Mei Qing was pondering, he felt a slap on the back of his neck. Zhang Shisan glared at him and said, “Is this how you activate a talisman? Do you think it’s like flying a kite or throwing paper money? How did you not just die from stupidity!”
Mei Qing, confused, could only listen as Zhang Shisan ranted and explained.
It turned out that even after successfully drawing a talisman, activating it required additional steps. Especially for five-element talismans, which corresponded to yin, yang, and the five elements, one had to consider the flow of energy based on the time of day, carefully examine the five-element directions, and adjust the hand seals and the direction of the talisman accordingly.
Zhang Shisan extended his left hand, explaining the hand seal technique to Mei Qing joint by joint, and then taught him the incantation: “When forming the hand seal, first determine the yin and yang based on the year, month, day, and hour, then examine the four symbols and five elements before activating the talisman. The hand seal has its own sequence. As the saying goes, ‘The wild horse leaps across the stream, counting from the tiger to the dog; one day passes through one palace, without the pig, rat, or ox.’ This is the Mountain-Pushing Hand Seal. You must follow this incantation, determine the time and position, and then activate the talisman.”
Mei Qing finally understood. The five-element talismans not only required true essence to be infused into the script but also needed to be activated in harmony with the time, environment, and direction to be effective.
Like a thin layer of paper, once Zhang Shisan had explained it, there was no more difficulty. Mei Qing focused his mind, drawing on the true essence from his golden core under the influence of the sun and moon, and guided it through the talisman. Following the correct direction, he formed the hand seal and chanted, “Gui Wei generates Kan, the water spirit commands! Swiftly!”
The talisman then floated up lightly, transforming into a ball of water that fell from the air, splashing onto the ground and leaving a wet mark.
Zhang Shisan was once again speechless.
Thus, though he had shown Mei Qing an example, Zhang Shisan had deliberately withheld the key techniques, waiting to see Mei Qing’s failure and then have him beg for instruction, thereby convincing him to become his disciple.
Seeing Mei Qing’s manner, Zhang Shisan was even more convinced that he was a complete novice. Every stroke and turn was wrong. Although the brushwork was smooth, clearly indicating careful observation, many subtle details were missed. Zhang Shisan had already begun to plan how to mock Mei Qing and then slowly reveal some secrets to hook him in.
But what happened next greatly surprised Zhang Shisan.
Mei Qing’s brush danced like a dragon, completing the talisman in one breath. As the brush left the paper, a faint aura of water essence emerged from the talisman.
It worked!
Though not yet activated, Zhang Shisan’s spiritual sense was extremely sharp. He immediately sensed the vibrant energy from the talisman, realizing that despite Mei Qing’s seemingly clumsy strokes and complete disregard for convention, the talisman had somehow succeeded.
How was this possible?
Zhang Shisan’s eyes widened like copper bells. He stammered, “You—you—you—” unable to speak. Mei Qing had not followed any of the proper techniques in posture, brushwork, or talisman form, yet somehow succeeded.
Could it be sheer luck? A rare coincidence?
Certainly! It must be a once-in-a-century fluke that happened today. Zhang Shisan nodded inwardly, unable to find any other explanation.
Convinced of his answer, Zhang Shisan looked at Mei Qing, intending to speak, when he saw Mei Qing holding the talisman, muttering incantations. Upon closer inspection, Zhang Shisan nearly became furious.
Mei Qing, with his strong spiritual sense, had already sensed the success of his talisman. Unaware of how difficult it was for others to begin drawing talismans, he naturally assumed success was normal. Next, he naturally tried to mimic Zhang Shisan’s earlier actions, chanting the incantation and attempting to throw the talisman to transform it into water.
Yet strangely, after repeating the incantation several times as Zhang Shisan had done earlier, and throwing the talisman, not a wisp of water vapor appeared. The talisman was completely ineffective.
“What’s going on?” Mei Qing frowned in thought. “Did I draw it wrong?”
“You clumsy fool, you’re going to kill me with frustration!” Just as Mei Qing was pondering, he suddenly felt a slap on the back of his neck. Zhang Shisan glared, his beard bristling. “Is this how you activate a talisman? Do you think activating a talisman is like flying a kite or throwing paper money? Why aren’t you just born stupid!”
Confused, Mei Qing could only obediently listen as Zhang Shisan ranted and raved, explaining the technique.
It turned out that even after successfully drawing a talisman, there were still specific methods for activation. Especially with the Five Elemental Talismans, which harmonized with Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, one had to consider the time of day and the corresponding elemental directions. Depending on the hour, the hand seals and the direction of the talisman’s release varied.
Zhang Shisan extended his left hand, explaining each joint of the finger seals, and taught the incantation: “When forming the seal, first determine the Yin or Yang time based on year, month, day, and hour, then observe the Four Symbols and Five Elements, and only then can the talisman be used. There is another method for forming the seal. It is called the ‘Wild Horse Leaping Gully’ method, counting from Yin to Gou. One palace per day, avoiding Hai, Zi, and Chou. This is the ‘Mountain-Parting Palm Seal.’ You must follow this incantation, assess the timing and direction, before you can use the talisman.”
Mei Qing suddenly understood. The Five Elemental Talismans required not only the infusion of true essence in their creation but also the proper timing, environment, and direction for activation to be effective.
Like a veil being lifted, once Zhang Shisan explained it, there was no longer any difficulty. Mei Qing focused inward, channeling the essence from his golden core, guided by the interplay of sun and moon, and directed it through his body into the talisman. Following the correct direction, he formed the seal and chanted: “Gui Wei generates Kan; water spirits are the rule! Quick!”
The talisman floated lightly into the air, instantly transforming into a mass of water. It scattered from midair, splashing onto the ground, leaving a damp mark.
Seeing this, Zhang Shisan was once again speechless, unable to utter a word.
