1. Healing and Cooling (寒熱之道)
The Cold/Fever Talisman (寒熱符) belongs to the Healing/Cooling category. In traditional Liuren practice, "Fever" is often viewed as an excess of "Internal Fire" or a spiritual intrusion that destabilizes the body's natural temperature.
- Snow Mountain Logic: Often used in conjunction with "Snow Mountain" (Xue Shan) incantations to instantly "cool" burns or spiritual heat.
- Qi Stabilization: The talisman works to restore the balance between the Yin and Yang within the body's meridians.
2. Social Protection: The Petty Person Fu (小人符)
The Petty Person Talisman (小人符) belongs to the Relational/Harmony category. For the Liu Min (Vagabond) class, navigating complex social environments and protecting oneself from "Backstabbing" (Xiao Ren) was a matter of survival.
| Target Issue | Mechanism | Result |
|---|
| Office Politics / Backstabbing | "Cutting" the negative peach blossom or harmful connections. | Neutralizing the petty person's influence. |
| False Accusations | Invoking the Zhu Ke (Host/Guest) advantage. | Turning the tide of public or professional opinion. |
| Hidden Enmity | Revealing the "Snake in the Grass." | Making the hidden enemy's actions transparent. |
3. Lineage Conduct: Righteous Practice (正法戒律)
The use of Petty Person talismans is governed by the lineage principle of Righteous Practice . We do not use magic for malice, but for protection and the restoration of social balance.
- Righteous Defense: These tools are for shielding oneself from unprovoked harm, enabling a practitioner to continue their path without interference.
- Conduct: A practitioner's power is maintained through ethical behavior. Harmful misuse of Petty Person magic will eventually "close the altar."
4. Combined Application
In the modern workplace or family environment, physical health and social stress are often linked. Practitioners often use these two talismans together to treat both the "Heat" of the body and the "Friction" of the social environment.
Technical Tip:
When deploying the Petty Person Fu, visualize the Liuren Xianshi placing a "Mirror" between you and your detractors. Their negative energy is reflected back to their own source, while you remain centered and cool (Xue Shan).
