However, which mantra to practice first became a difficult problem for Xu Luo.
There are many Taoist mantras, and there are 108 basic mantras for praying for blessings and exorcising evil spirits alone.
This does not include the magical spells used in battles such as slaying demons and eliminating monsters.
There are many mantras, but human energy is limited, so we have to focus on them and cannot learn all the mantras.
Although there is no limit, if a Taoist priest learns too many mantras, it will inevitably dilute his energy. Instead of being proficient in all of them, it is better to stick to one mantra and practice it to perfection.
Because energy is limited, there should not be too many mantras to choose from, so what to learn becomes very important.
Xu Luo's gaze lingered over each divine spell.
Suddenly, when he saw a set of magic spells, Xu Luofu felt strongly that he should choose this magic spell.
The Supreme Lord’s decree will liberate your lonely soul.
All ghosts and spirits, all living beings are blessed.
Those with a head transcend, and those without a head live.
Killing with spears and swords, jumping into the water and hanging by a rope.
Die in public or in secret, die unjustly and unfairly.
Creditor, enemy, and son who is asking for your life.
Kneel before my stage, and the eight trigrams will shine.
I will leave you and be reborn in another place.
Whether you are a man or a woman, you have to take responsibility for yourself.
Richness or poverty is brought upon yourself.
Command all of them to be reborn quickly.
Command all of them to be reborn quickly.
Xu Luo recited this magic spell unconsciously.
This is the mantra for salvation.
"Why did you choose this?"
Just for a moment, Xu Luo felt that he was in a trance. In a daze, he chose the mantra for salvation and recited it in its entirety.
This feeling of sudden enlightenment made him feel very strange.
But Xu Luo had a feeling that choosing the mantra for salvation at this time would be of great help to him in the future.
I was originally still struggling with which mantra to choose to learn. Since I chose the mantra for salvation first, I naturally cannot miss the other accompanying ones.
This world also has mountain goblins and wild monsters. After people die, their obsessions linger, so naturally there will be strange things.
Therefore, the spells for killing ghosts, driving away ghosts, and preventing ghosts are complementary to the spells for salvation.
This is true offense and defense in one.
In addition to these four, Xu Luo also chose the Heart Purification Mantra and the Body Purification Mantra. These two are enough to keep him busy for some time in the future.
The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on yourself!
Taoist Tiandu really just led his three disciples into the Taoist school, and then let them practice and study Taoist scriptures on their own.
Although Tiandu Peak is desolate, it still has a complete collection of Taoist scriptures, interpretations by predecessors, and annotations.
If you don’t understand something, go ask Tiandu Taoist and he will answer you.
But most of the time, the Taoist priests from Tiandu are not at Tiandu Peak, so even if you want to ask, there is really no one to ask.
Why was Xu Luo given the dragon and tiger incense after the bell rang eighteen times?
This is an extremely rare treasure, not something that can be obtained by ringing the Taoist bell eighteen times.
Compared to other people who successfully entered the Tao under the careful teaching of their elders, Xu Luo was able to successfully enter the Tao without anyone's careful teaching. He relied on self-exploration and only received occasional guidance from Taoist Tiandu. This was even more rare.
That's why I made an exception and gave him the Dragon and Tiger Incense.
The complete collection of divine spells includes spells, hand gestures, corresponding steps, and the cultivation experience of predecessors.
Compared with Taoist scriptures, the mantras are completely fool-proof. As long as you follow them, there will be no problem. The only difference is the level of proficiency.
Obviously, Taoist practitioners are naturally unwilling to spend a lot of time on these things.
The Taoist scriptures do not use this method because the Tao is not something that can be spoken lightly.
Everyone has a different understanding of Tao, especially beginners, who are not allowed to read the annotations of their predecessors.
This is to prevent their cognition from being influenced by the annotations of their predecessors.
Once you are affected and go astray, the road will be cut off.
Only when you have a certain understanding of the Taoist scriptures, and know what they are and why they are, can you read other people's annotations.
Otherwise, if you know the facts but not the reasons behind them, and then read other people's annotations and just follow what others say, you will make a fool of yourself.
Xu Luo discovered that when he practiced the mantra for salvation, it was very smooth and he completed it fluently while he was awake.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve already completed it before without realizing it, so now it’s going very smoothly.
Or maybe it was because the dragon and tiger incense was lit, which made my ears and eyes clear, so it went more smoothly.
No matter what the reason, for Xu Luo at this moment, the mantra for salvation was not as difficult as rumored.
After completing the initial practice, the next step is to master it proficiently. Practice makes perfect, so that you can perform the mantra for salvation in the shortest time possible, which is considered a small success.
If one has achieved great success, there is no need to recite the mantra at all. One only needs to chant the mantra to liberate the souls of the dead.
Xu Luo has not reached this point yet. Now the first thing he needs to do is to master this magical spell. The greatest success will be to be able to do it without the need for hand gestures.
Of course, if you can perform it just by silently reciting it in your mind, this is the realm you are pursuing at the moment.
In addition to the mantra for salvation, the other three mantras, namely the mantra for killing ghosts, the mantra for driving away ghosts, and the mantra for preventing ghosts, are less difficult to practice than the mantra for salvation, and can also be easily performed.
Only when he came to the Heart Purification Mantra and the Body Purification Mantra did Xu Luo lose the feeling of being assisted by God. He performed them haltingly, but failed because they were not smooth enough.
It was not until this time that Xu Luo realized that practicing the magic spell was not as easy as he had imagined.
The mantra's vocal scales, gestures, hand seals, steps, breath, etc. need to be coordinated well. If there is a problem in any link, the mantra will fail.
Even if you recite it haltingly, it won't be enough. Lack of fluency means no effect.
Xu Luo tried again and again, but there were problems with coordination every time.
It's not that the spell was recited but the gestures were too fast or too slow, but the gestures and spell were coordinated well but the steps were not.
It may seem like a simple spell, but the coordination of steps and gestures does vary greatly, and these need to be used according to local conditions. Newbies can only learn lessons from repeated failures and try again and again before they can succeed.
Especially since Xu Luo had experienced the ease of practicing the Four Divine Mantras for transcendence, experiencing the difficulty of the Heart Purification Mantra and the Body Purification Mantra was simply the start of a nightmare.
There is no harm without comparison. It’s okay if you don’t know it at the beginning, and you can treat it normally.
With the comparison at this time, it is naturally very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after trying again and again, I finally succeeded once or twice out of ten times, which is a good breakthrough.
Practice makes perfect. With the experience of success the first time, you will naturally become more skilled and your success rate will get higher and higher.
Xu Luo is quite confident about this.
At worst, you can just use the same attitude as before, when you prepared for the three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation test, and use the tactic of solving a lot of questions to deal with it. You will always be able to overcome the difficulties.
