According to the "True Forms of the Five Sacred Mountains", the Supreme Lord of the Dao resides in the Heavenly Court, overlooking the four directions of heaven and earth, observing the length and width of rivers and oceans, and examining the height and undulation of the Five Sacred Mountains.
Based on the morphological patterns of the mountains and water sources, he witnessed the winding and turning of the mountains and rivers, the undulating hills, and the towering and long mountain ranges, which seemed to meander like words.
Therefore, based on these natural phenomena, true and accurate names were established, and their entire image was secretly preserved on a mysterious high platform, becoming tokens of divine truth.
The original purpose of drawing these maps was to help practitioners understand the abodes of immortals and spirits, find famous mountains and scenic spots for gathering herbs and refining elixirs, ward off evil and disasters, and summon the descent of gods.
So, where exactly are the records about the correspondence between heaven and humanity hidden?
The answer lies in images such as the Hetu, Luoshu, Taiji diagram, and talismans.
In Taoism, all kinds of internal cultivation talismans, spiritual cultivation talismans, healing talismans, exorcism talismans, etc., as long as they are closely related to human life activities and physical health, can be classified as human body talismans.
There are many types of these talismans, but those inherited by the Jingming School, Shenxiao School, Qingwei School, Tianxin School, Donghua School, and Beidi School are the most unique.
Other Taoist schools also widely use human body talismans to assist in cultivating internal energy.
For example, the Qingwei School possesses numerous talismans, including the Five Elements Life-Preserving Talisman, the Meridian Opening Talisman, the Qi Character Talisman, the Armor Character Talisman, the Life-Connecting Talisman, the Spirit-Connecting Talisman, the Calamity-Resolving Talisman, the Harmony Talisman, the Truth-Connecting Talisman, the Food-Talisman, the Qi-Consuming Talisman, the Nature-Enhancing Talisman, the Vision-Enhancing Talisman, and so on. These talismans each have their own effects, helping practitioners to enhance their internal strength, open their meridians, and strengthen their spirituality.
The Tianxin Sect possesses a series of mysterious talismans, such as the Three Lights Talisman, the Heavenly Emperor's Life-Saving Talisman, the True Fire Nine-Pointed Talisman, the True Water Ten-Pointed Talisman, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Emerging Sun's Crimson Radiance, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Emerging True Sun's Jade Void, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Bright Sun's Radiant Light, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Cloud Yang Fire Cloud's Crimson Radiance, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Cave Sun's Bright Light Dragon's Galloping Flight, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Supreme Divine Light's Unparalleled Void and Clarity, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Beginning of the Primordial Mystery of the Pure Splendor, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Primordial Radiance of the Clear Light, the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Crystal Light's Clear and Bright Radiance, and the Inner Landscape Diagram of the Golden Light's Clear Void Containing Truth, etc.
Each inner scene illustration contains profound Taoist philosophy and mysteries. By studying these illustrations, practitioners can comprehend higher levels of Taoist understanding.
The Donghua School possesses its own unique Five Sprouts True Script, a type of rune imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, said to be able to stimulate the body's inner potential, granting extraordinary power and wisdom. These unique human talismans from different Taoist schools showcase the diversity and profundity of Taoist culture.
These runes are dazzling, each containing endless mysteries and enigmatic power. Among them, the Jade Infant Divine Transformation Talisman can invigorate the spirit, the Heavenly Gang Righteous Qi Talisman can uphold righteousness and dispel evil, the Azure Emperor Soul-Protecting Talisman protects the soul and spirit, the Crimson Emperor Qi-Nourishing Talisman nourishes the blood and qi, the White Emperor Soul-Serving Talisman soothes the mind and spirit, and the Black Emperor Blood-Circulating Talisman unblocks the meridians.
The eighty-one grade talismans, eighteen jade talismans, twenty-four true talismans, and twelve meridian talismans each possess unique supernatural powers, either assisting in cultivation techniques, enhancing physical fitness, or regulating the flow of internal energy. As for the Five Emperors' Demon-Nurturing True Talisman, the Five Emperors' Demon-Controlling True Talisman, and the Five Heavens' Great Demon-Subduing Evil Jade Script, these are specifically designed to suppress evil spirits and heretics, possessing astonishing power.
"Little master... this is too profound! I'm still a baby..." The little white fox Tianyao cried pitifully.
