1. The Art of Air-Writing (空中書符)
The Flying Talisman (飛符 - Fei Fu) is an advanced evolution of the Flower Character technology. For the Liu Min (Vagabond) class, who might be caught in emergency situations without paper, ink, or even water, the ability to "Fly" a talisman through the air was the ultimate survival skill.
2. Functional Ritual Dynamics
Flying a talisman involves the synchronization of the Sword-Finger , the Breath (Qi) , and the Intent (Yi) .
| Method | Metaphysical Action | Practitioner Requirement |
|---|
| Fei Fu (The Dart) | "Launching" a materialized intent directly into a target. | High-level Dajiao internal Qi cultivation. |
| Air-Writing (Kōngzhōng) | Drawing the "Gall" (Dan) in the visual field. | Developing the "Immortal Fetus" (Spirit Eye) sensitivity. |
| Incantation Projection | Vibrational "Firing" of the secret mantra. | Stability of the Zong Jue authority. |
3. The Unity of Body and Spirit
Efficacy in Fei Fu is predicated on the Unity of Human and Divine (Shen Ren Yi Zhi) . At this level, the practitioner's physical finger acts as the "Celestial Brush," and the surrounding air serves as the "Universal Paper."
- Authorization: The practitioner must be a verified Dajiao disciple or higher to have the internal "Voltage" needed to launch a Flying Talisman.
- Emergency Use: Used for immediate protection, sudden healing (see Hemostasis, Section 27), or rapid spirit confusion (see Section 21) in high-stakes environments.
- Invisible Action: This method allows the practitioner to work magic in public spaces without any visible material signs, maintaining the "Liu Min" cloak of invisibility.
4. Lineage Mastery: The Mind as the Seal
The Flying Talisman demonstrates that the highest level of magic is a function of Internal Authority . Once the practitioner's connection to the Altar is stabilized through Dajiao , the need for physical ink and paper diminishes in moments of emergency.
- Direct Projection: The practitioner visualizes the talisman as a completed "Seal of Light" arriving at the target.
- Altar Mandate: The air-written character is backed by the full authority of the Liuren Xianshi , acting as a direct command from the celestial office.
- Conduct: This high-level skill is contingent upon Ding Xin (Internal Focus). A scattered or arrogant mind cannot project enough "Fa-Qi" to make an air-written talisman effective.
Technical Tip:
When deploying a Flying Talisman, focus on the Sincerity of the command. The Sword-Finger is merely the physical pointer; the true "Seal" is formed in the stabilized mind of the practitioner. If you feel even a moment of doubt, the "Dart" will lack the spiritual weight needed to penetrate Sha.
