In the Taoist thunder method, the Shenxiao sect pays special attention to the Five Thunder Method. The origin of the Five Thunder Dharma explained by the Shenxiao Sect is as follows: In the fifth and sixth volumes of "Tao Fa Hui Yuan", the fire master Wang Zhenjun said: In the past, the heaven and earth were divided and all things were cultivated. , Wandering in life and death, wronged for thousands of tribulations, harmed by evil demons." The true king then asked the God of the First Dynasty politely, and learned "the way of mixing three lights and purple texts" and "the secret of five thunders to resist evil and kill demons", so the true king died in the world and performed the five powers. Lei Dafa and the divine institution of the Five Lei Dusi were born accordingly. Wulei Dusi is located in Leicheng in the Brahma Qi above the blue sky of King Yuqingzhen's palace. It is the place where King Yuqingzhen governs. Among them, ministers, ministers, and ministers are assigned duties and divisions. They govern the production of all things, promote the four seasons, regulate yin and yang, record good and punish evil.

It is also said that "Since the Five Thunders are clear, you should know the headquarters of the Lei Mansion. Now that you know the headquarters, you can respond immediately when you ask." It is also said: "The Five Thunder Envoys are the special commander of Lei City, and they are responsible for taking charge of the Five Thunders. In Guan Shen Division, whenever there are frequent winds and rains, excessive Yang, reckless wars, or famine, all these are caused by the request of Emperor Zhen. In all cases, the Yushu is responsible for spreading the division, and also leads the generals of the three divisions to judge and punish the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods in the three realms. "Kang Li Shu."

Under the Five Lei Dusi, each has a large number of divine soldiers and generals. However, among the many gods of the Lei Division, the most famous ones are Deng Bowen, Xin Hanchen, and Zhang Yuanbo, according to Taoist scriptures. They are the three coaches of the Thunder. From the "Thunder General Edict" we saw today, we can see that these three marshals are ranked at the top, the first three: "Look up to the generals of the Thunder City. Fu Yuanfa and all the officials." Marshal Deng is commanded by the law of fire.

Led by the Three Thunder Commanders, plus Pang, Tao, Liu, Gou, Bi, Qin, Zhao, Dong, Yuan, Li, Sun, Bai, Wang, Yao, Zhang, Huang, Jin, Ji, Yu and other heavenly kings, as well as the lightning god, the wind god, and the twenty-four heavenly kings who urge the clouds, help the rain, and protect the law are collectively called the twenty-four days of the Lei Department.

Among the Taoist Thunder Methods, the Shenxiao sect pays special attention to the Five Thunder Methods. The origin of the Five Thunder Dharma explained by the Shenxiao Sect is as follows:

In the fifth and sixth volumes of "Tao Fa Hui Yuan", the fire master Wang Zhenjun said: In the past, the heaven and earth were divided and all things were cultivated. The true king of Yuqing condensed the golden palace, " I pity all sentient beings for drowning in the sea of ??misery, wandering around in life and death, being wronged for thousands of eons, and being harmed by evil demons." The true king then politely asked the God of the First Dynasty, and learned the "Way of the Mixture of Three Lights and Purple Wen" and "The Secret of Five Thunders to Control Evils and Kill Demons." The True King passed away from the mortal world and performed the Five Thunder Dharma. The Divine and True Organization of the Five Thunder Dusi was born accordingly.

Wulei Dusi is located in the Leicheng City in the Brahma Qi above the blue sky of King Yuqingzhen's palace. It is the place where King Yuqingzhen rules. Among them, ministers, ministers, and ministers are assigned duties and divisions. They govern the production of all things, promote the four seasons, regulate yin and yang, record good and punish evil.

It is also said that "Since the Five Thunders are clear, you should know the headquarters of the Lei Mansion. Now that you know the headquarters, you can respond immediately when you ask." It is also said: "The Five Thunder Envoys are the special commander of Lei City, and they are responsible for taking charge of the Five Thunders. In Guan Shen Division, whenever there are frequent winds and rains, excessive Yang, reckless wars, or famine, all these are caused by the request of Emperor Zhen. In all cases, the Yushu is responsible for spreading the division, and also leads the generals of the three divisions to judge and punish the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods in the three realms. "Kang Li Shu."

Under the Five Lei Dusi, each has a large number of divine soldiers and generals. However, among the many gods of the Lei Division, the most famous ones are Deng Bowen, Xin Hanchen, and Zhang Yuanbo, according to Taoist scriptures. They are the three coaches of the Thunder. From the "Thunder General Edict" we saw today, we can see that these three marshals are ranked at the top, the first three: "Look up to the generals of the Thunder City. Fu Yuanfa and all the officials." Marshal Deng was ordered to fight the fire, and Xin Tianjun, a fierce official with silver teeth.

"Feijie repays the envoy Zhang...". Volume 82 of "Daofa Huiyuan" "Three Commanders of Thunder" contains the "Facts" written by Bai Yuchan, the real person of Qiongguan Ziqing, about the three commanders of Deng Bowen, Xin Hanchen and Zhang Yuanbo. Bai Yuchan said that when performing the thunder method, the master puts Deng Shuai in the heart, Xin Shuai in the guts, and Zhang Shuai in the kidneys. The three commanders cooperate with the five thunder gods to use yin and yang to create and counteract the effect, and chant the Mulang mantra to cover it, which can cause the mountains to collapse and the valleys to collapse. It boils, thunderbolts are fired quickly, and lightnings fly. Bai Yuchan calls this thunder method "the mainstay of Fahai and the foundation of later learning."

According to Bai Yuchan, the origin of the three commanders is very right. After the ancient emperors Fu Xi and Huang Di, Fu Xi had two sons. The eldest son, Zhu Rong, was the official of Nan Dou Fire. The second son, Yu Guang, was the current god of fire, Deng Bowen. Huang Di was originally the son of the God of Thunder. Therefore, the book of Taoism says that his mother "is the Great Holy Mother of Yuantian, and Xuanyuan is the emperor of Ziweiyandu. She is also the ancestor of the judgment of Thunder." "Now Xin Hanchen and Zhang Yuanbo are the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and they are responsible for directing the destiny of the thunder talisman." "

These three commanders are descendants of emperors, and they are in charge of the three thunder tribes. Therefore, they came to the world at the right time and are very powerful. Volume 56 of "Dao Fa Hui Yuan" says: "There is a great god of fire in the thunder tribe. , surnamed Deng, given name Bowen. In the past, Huangdi defeated Chiyou and was granted the title of General of Henan. When the great god saw the Yellow Emperor ascending to heaven, he abandoned his throne and went to Wudang Mountain to practice for a hundred years, and was able to rise and fall with the energy. I also saw that people in the world were not loyal and filial, killing, invading and bullying, using the strong to bully the weak, and the king assisted Bi and could not control them. Then he made a great wish day and night, wishing to become the divine thunder and kill this evil rebel on behalf of heaven. He kept thinking about it and became so angry that he suddenly transformed into a phoenix with silver fangs and a red-haired orchid body. He held a thunder drill in his left hand and a thunder hammer in his right hand. He was a hundred feet long and had wings on his armpits. When spread out, everything for hundreds of miles was dark, and his eyes let out two rays of fire. , shining for hundreds of miles, with dragon claws on its hands and feet, flying around Taixu, devouring spirits and monsters, and killing demonic dragons. He was named the Great God of Laws and Orders by God and was subordinate to Divine Thunder. "

The same book Wuqi also records his life, and his deeds are roughly the same. It is said that he transformed like a ghost and looked like a bat. He also said: "At noon on May 5th, he ascended to the house of Huoling in Nangong. It is the most powerful. When calamity breaks out, it can use its two wings to stir up four waves of water, flooding the hills of Kunlun and collapsing mountains, rivers and the earth. Those who practice the Dharma should offer sacrifices to this god on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It can drive away evil spirits, shake the mountains, and deal with plagues, ghosts, and poisonous mandrills. Everyone who hears the name of this god will be frightened. This god likes to drink the blood of animals. You should draw its shape, make offerings and pray to it, and it will be efficacious at will, which cannot be measured. If goose blood is not available, use sheep blood instead. There is also the Biaohuo Talisman, which can ward off evil spirits, cure all kinds of diseases, and eliminate plagues. It is hung on the door of the hall to control the house, eliminate disasters, and ward off all evils. ”

In addition, according to the "Tai Shang Shuo Chao Tian Xie Lei Zhen Jing": "In the past, Marshal Deng Lei of Thunder, practiced in Yuzhen Mountain for fifty-two years, reported to the Jade Emperor, and stated the enlightenment of Chengtian." , help educate and save people, make a great vow to destroy the unfaithful and unfilial people in the world, and stop demons from harming people, do not cause harm to evil spirits, save lives and save people from death. Suddenly, after his work was completed, he was ordered by God to summon him to his majesty. He was given a golden elixir to swallow and turned into a phoenix-shaped wing. He was still named the Great God of Laws and Orders of Fire."

Thunder Method to Pray for Rain. In the art, the most frequently used curse is the "Mulang Curse". This curse has many inheritances, with different lengths and different versions. Bai Yuchan said: "There is a red chicken in the "Book of Thunder" by Ye Fashan, the master of Tang Dynasty. , Purple Goose Talisman, throw it into the southeast water urn, and recite the Mulang Mantra to cause rain. "As mentioned before, Volume 82 of "Daofa Huiyuan" "Three Commanders of Thunder" contains the "Facts" written by Bai Yuchan, a real person of Qiongguan Ziqing, describing the schools of Deng Bowen, Xin Hanchen and Zhang Yuanbo. Bai Yuchan It is said that when performing the thunder method, the master puts Deng Shuai in the heart, Xin Shuai in the guts, and Zhang Shuai in the kidneys. The three commanders cooperate with the five thunder gods to use yin and yang to create and counteract the effect, and chant the Mulang mantra to cover it up, which can cause the mountains to collapse and the valleys to boil. Thunderbolts strike quickly, and lightnings fly. Bai Yuchan calls this thunder method "the mainstay of the sea of ????dharma and the foundation of future learning." Mulang Mantra is a must-use spell in the thunder method. Volume 46 of "Ten Books on Wuyi Collection" and Volume 87 of "Daofa Huiyuan" are included in "Lei Fa Yi Xuan Chapter" records "Tai Chi Lei Altar Sacrifice to the Four-Dimensional Divine Method". It says: "On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, write the Red Rooster and Purple Goose talisman with a yellow stick measuring one foot and two inches, burn incense and recite the Mulang Mantra a hundred times, and sink the talisman into the northeastern water. The next time he returned to the clean room, four people were given blood food and offered wine to drink. He summoned the four gods including Yulei Haoshi and offered wine to them, who then appeared in the form of chickens and geese. The next time I saw the divine form, I prayed at will, and in the year of drought, my prayers were answered. The Five Thunder Sutra says: These four gods are the water spirits in the beginning of time. King Yu controlled the water and made the town four-dimensional. The essence of Yiyun Bagua is responsible for clouds and rain. If you worship it every year, it can cause clouds and rain. "

The article "Mulang Curse for Rain" in "Qingyi Leichao" says: "In the summer of Gengwu in Tongzhi, someone came to the capital from southern Yunnan and wrote a piece of "Mulang Curse" by hand. It is said that the Han army Zong Xiaowu Sima Mountain, so that Chu and Han people can pray for rain and keep this mantra. Praying for rain must be divided into four seasons. To pray for rain during spring drought, set up the altar outside the east gate, facing east. The same is true for the third time. There are three deities on the altar. On the left is the position of Fengyun Leiyu God, in the middle is the position of Mulang Taiyi Sanxingyu God, and on the right is the position of Ziqingbai Zuxianshi. The sacrificial offerings include Yuanjiu, sake, rice cakes and preserved fruits. In order to pray for rain, I wrote a poem and burned it in front of the city god. Recite the mantra sincerely, three times a day, or four or five times, forty-nine times each time. On the third day, there will be no rain; on the fifth day, there will be no rain; on the fifth day, there will be no rain; and on the seventh day, it will be said that there will be a great rain. When it rains, the sacrificial objects still shine in front of them.

The deity described by the words "with red hair, giant wings and red eyes" in "The Curse of Praying for Rain" is Marshal Deng, the law of burning fire, and the sentence "the law of burning fire will turn the sky over" also refers to Marshal Deng. Bai Yuchan's two-line annotation on the "Mulang Curse" in the second volume of "Wuyi Collection" is: "The red hair is huge, the wings are bright, the eyes are bright, Marshal Deng, the commander of the law of fire, has red hair, fleshy wings on both sides, and silver teeth are shining." day". "The law of burning fire orders the sky to be turned over, and the law of burning fire orders Marshal Deng to fly across the surface of the sky."

Another coach is the fierce official Xin Hanchen, also known as the "Thunder Thirty-three Days Governor Qingdi Tianjun". Volume 81 of "Tao Fa Hui Yuan" records its image as follows: "A futou with ox ears, red hair, iron face, silver teeth like swords, clad in green cloud fur, soap boots, holding a book in the left hand, a thunder pen in the right hand, with a "Huo Guang." His subordinates include Southern Barbarian Thunder Envoy Ma Yulin, Southern Barbarian Thunder Envoy Guo Yuanjing, Western Barbarian Thunder Envoy Fang Zhonggao, Northern Barbarian Thunder Envoy Deng Gongchen, and Central Barbarian Thunder Envoy Tian Yuanzong. In addition, Marshal Xin also has many transformations to show his power to the world.

Xin Tianjun, the Taoist God of Thunder. Qingjia records: "The twenty-fifth day of the sixth lunar month is the birthday of Xin Tianjun. Tianjun is the chief secretary of the Lei Department. All those who serve in Lei Zhai will eat vegetarian food on the solstice to pray for God's blessing. Also on the Xin day of the month (i.e. Every Xin day) and the sixth day of the lunar month, the common saying is that there are three Xin days once. On the sixth day of the lunar month, meat is not allowed, so it is called 'Xin Zhai'."

Xin Tianjun, also known as Marshal Xin. "The Encyclopedia of Searching the Gods of the Three Religions" says: Marshal Xin, named Xin Xing and given the courtesy name Zhenyu, is said to be from Yongzhou. He lives in the Thunder God Mountain. Every time he wakes up, he thunders loudly and destroys everything. However, in summer and autumn, it hides. It enters the ground and changes into the shape of a chicken. One day, Xin Xing went into the mountains to collect medicine to treat his mother's illness. He suddenly saw chickens walking in the mountains, so he caught five of them, but he didn't know they were thunder gods. My mother was killed by thunder. Xin Xing was in so much pain that he picked up a wooden stick and hammered the thunder chicken, but he still didn't know that the chicken was the incarnation of the god of thunder. The god was moved by this and thought of his filial piety. He transformed into a Taoist priest and gave him guidance, asking him to apologize and giving Xin Xing twelve fire pills. Unexpectedly, after Xin Xing swallowed the fire pill, he turned into a thunder god, stepped on the five thunder drums, and ascended to the sky. The Jade Emperor conferred the title of "Marshal of Thunder" and was ordered to travel through the sky to destroy evil spirits and evil spirits.

The story of Xin Tianjun's ascension during the day spread throughout the countryside, so a temple was built to worship him, and he practiced vegetarianism on this day, which was called Xin Zhai and Youri Lei Zhai, which has been passed down to this day. During the Southern Song Dynasty, talisman magic was popular in the world, especially Lei method, which was the most influential in society and became the mainstream of Taoist magic. During the Wuyi Mountain period, Bai Yuchan was already well-known for his skill in the Dongyuan Thunder Technique. Bai Yuchan once visited Luofu Mountain and was taught "The Secret of Thunder" by Chen Nan, the real person of Cuixu. However, Bai Yuchan also recounted an adventure in which he learned the Dharma from Xin Tianjun. Perhaps many people did not notice it.

Volume 147 of "Dao Fa Hui Yuan" "Dongxuan Yushu Thunder Technique" also records the teaching of the White Jade Toad Thunder Technique. According to the "Facts" at the beginning of the volume, Bai Yuchan wandered to the Guangnan mountain road and met a strange man who appeared in disguise, claiming to be Xin Jun, the thunderous official, and taught him the Dongxuan Yushu thunder method. Later, Bai Yuchan was taught the secret of Dongxuan at sea. The legend that Bai Yuchan obtained the Dharma from Xin Tianjun is more mysterious than the theory that he obtained the Dharma from Cuixu Zhenren. Most of the thunder method teachings in the Taoist scriptures have a magical color.

From Xin Tianjun's "Affidavit", we can see his bravery and supernatural power:

The thunder and fierce official god, the power of Jiutian Ting. When entering and exiting the three realms, he is loyal and diligent in assisting the emperor.

Thousands of meters tall, he was named Lei Bu Zun, commanding all the Lei tribes, and the god of wind and rain.

Thunderbolt mother of lightning, powerful yaksha group. The left and right inherit the destiny, and assist the Five Thunder Lords.

I follow the Jade Emperor’s orders and can save people in the world. If anyone accepts it, I will appear immediately.

Please go to heaven and report to the emperors. Invite me into the underworld, as far as the palace of seclusion.

Invite me into the water house, and the waves will turn around. Please help me in the Yang Realm and save all sentient beings immediately.

Please help me save the severe drought and the heavy rain. Please let me catch the spirits and destroy the ghost camps.

Please help me save the birth, so that mother and child can leave as soon as possible. Be with me from beginning to end, and become a minister of the Jade Emperor.

It can be seen that he can enter and exit the three realms, act on behalf of heaven, and save all people.

The Hunyuan Ruyi Method of the Southern Song Dynasty, referred to as the Hunyuan Method, was the Thunder Method sect with Xin Tianjun as the main method. "Tao Fa Hui Yuan" Volume 154 "The Six Heavens of Hunyuan Miao Dao One Qi Ruyi Dafa", the leader of his master's sect Hunyuan Kaijiao Daci Puhui Road Zhenjun Dading, Hunyuan Yan teaches Yiqi Miaodao Lei Real time hit. "Tao Fa Hui Yuan" Volume 155 "Hunyuan Six Heavens Ruyi Dafa", its main dharma is called the Patriarch Hunyuan who taught the One Qi Miao Dao Pu Hui Lu Zhenjun, and the Patriarch Hunyuan Kai taught the One Qi Miao Dao Pu Ji Lei True Lord. The master sect and the main method are all consistent. These two Hunyuan Ruyi Dharma are actually the Hunyuan Dharma mentioned by Bai Yuchan.

The characteristics of the Hunyuan Dharma are to summon the Thunder King Xin Tianjun. The spells include the Thunder Summoning Curse, the Thunder Summoning Curse, and the Xin Tianjun Summoning Curse. You need to use the Thunder Talisman and the Xin Tianjun Iron Hat Talisman. It can be seen that Hunyuan The method is also one of the schools of thunder method. The Patriarch of the Dharma Master taught and assisted the Heavenly Master Zhenjun of the Yuan Dynasty for three days. During the practice of the Dharma, he ordered Generals Shang Yuan Tang, Zhong Yuan General Ge, and Xia Yuan Zhou General. These three Yuan generals are the divine generals in the rituals of the first chapter of the Zhengdao, so they are also It can be seen that the Hunyuan method is one of the talismans of Zong Chengzheng. This is already a digression.

The third coach, Thunder Flying Swift Envoy Zhang Yuanbo, is also known as "Taiyi Swift Swiftness Messenger", "Thunder Six Straight Talisman Flying Swift Retribution Messenger", "Nine Heavens Command Gang Shen Flying Swift Retribution" Envoy Zhang Shenjun".

His image changes over time, which is quite magical. For example: "Red hair, Xie Zhi crown, green face, three eyes, fire, scarlet robe, green flying belt, golden armor, holding a fire halberd, ghost shape, with fangs on the side. Barefoot, riding a fire dragon."

Other signs may appear: "Meat horns, red hair, green face, double eyes, eagle's beak, green body, double flesh wings, dragon claws hands and feet, red skirt and flying fairy belt. Such as summoning the God of Thunder, holding the edict Summon the Thunder God soap flag, hang a giant ax on your waist, and shake the flag.

For example, when Shaoki summoned Lei back to the altar, he placed a flag on his waist, wielded a long-handled giant ax with both hands, opened a path for thunder, and violently slashed, leading thousands of thunder gods to come with a roar like clouds. For example, if you call for a zhangzou, you will have your feet crossed, with a red forehead, red face and round eyes, red robe and green boots, holding the zhangzou on the left and an ax on the right, like a straight talisman. God, all follow it. "

There are six messengers under him, and he looks like a ghost, "The tip of a pig's nose, fleshy wings, purple hair and golden eyes, naked, red, with gold bracelets on his hands, feet, and wrists, a golden flower on his forehead, and flesh He has horns, a white skull, a scarlet windbreaker, and a green flying belt. He holds an official document in his left hand and a soap flag in his right hand. There are golden characters on it to summon the God of Thunder. The foot of the flag flutters towards Sunda. It flies down from the Sunda side on golden thunder and lightning sparks. ”
