"I have often heard that it is not a man who is diligent in seeking knowledge, but a man who knows diligently seeks man. But I know its fallacy, and its knower is not seeking people, but is actually out and chasing people away. Its carved and ruthless, such as eagle dogs chasing rabbits. ”
—— Xuanjun, 2nd century AD
Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, written by the ancient Chinese philosopher Hsan the Greater. The book was written around the second century AD and is said to have been originally titled the Seven Secret Codes of the Earth, but its original text has long since disappeared, and only this faithful and detailed Chinese manuscript is known.
The oldest edition is divided into seven volumes, each equivalent to a chapter, with different contents and different themes. Each volume contains one or more incantations.
Cthulhu One of the Seven Chapters of the Secret Scriptures of the Xuanjun
Chinese Version:
Very accurate version, close to perfection, with great power (part of the scriptures are introduced).
Prologue: Those who worship the Tao, such as those who are immersed in the Tao, know the things that they all know, and do not know the way. I have often heard that not man is diligent in seeking knowledge, but he who knows is diligent in seeking others. But I know the fallacy. His knowers are not seeking others, but are out and out of the way. Its carved and ruthless, such as eagle dogs chasing rabbits.
Heavy clouds cover the sky, the rivers and lakes are gloomy, and the swimming fish are dazed. Suddenly, bo ming eats and moves, and is blessed with heaven, that is, it is done, and the fish is killed, and the same is true of those who follow the path. Gai looks at the carver's bright healer, hears the symphony of cong's healer, and the mind heals.
Volume 1: About the achievements of the Yellow Emperor, his amazing inventions and medical skills.
Scripture: A burning fire can burn all things, but where does the fire exist when things die? The way of one breath can meditate on all things, but where is the way of death?
Dung beetle turn pills, pills into and thoughtful, and there are worm white people stored in the pills, Russian shell and cicadas. Peter does not think, peter worm white? The crab is left behind, the crab has been souped, and the left foot is still moving. It is the life and the death, and the one breath gathers and scatters. There is no birth or death, and man counts life and death.
There are dead people, there are dead sitters, there are dead sleepers, there are dead sick people, there are dead medicine people. Waiting for death, there is no difference between A and B. If he who knows does not see life, he will not see death. Man's aversion to life and death is a great calamity. For example, if a person is averse to life and death, and if he has a super-life and death mind, he will stop being called a demon, not a Tao.
Those who count the life and death either know that they have died, or that they have nothing to die, or that they have or do not have to die, or that they do not have or do not have. Or the one who rejoices, or the one who is afraid, or the one who is in charge, or the one who is supernatural. The more I became more and more affectionate, I was overwhelmed. I do not know that my life and death, like the hand of a horse, like the wings of an ox, have nothing and nothing.
Incantation: Fairy Sand Returns the Soul (Resurrection of the Dead)
Volume II: Ritual Ghoul and Ghoul Beliefs.
Scripture: If you eat a great victory, you will live, and your form can be extended; there is no moon and fire in the night, and no one can see me, and the form can be hidden. What do you want to know, what do you want to do?
There are people who are born one day and die, there are people who are born for ten years, and there are people who have been born for a hundred years. He who is not dead, although his actions are wise, is called life, not death. The one who is still alive, the one who is in the dead egg, and the one who is also human, although the heavens and the earth are great, he does not know. Those who count the heavens and the earth are all known to me. For example, the hand does not touch the blade, and the blade does not hurt people. My way is like a sword, cutting things with a blade is profitable, and holding a blade in a hand hurts.
Spell: Contact with ghouls
Cthulhu Ghoul
"These creatures cannot be called complete humans, but in many places they are close to humans. They stood upright on two feet and leaned forward, looking like a group of dogs; the rubber-like skin disgusted people. ”
——H． P． Lovecraft, Pickman's Model
The Ghoul is a humanoid monster with stretchy skin like rubber. Their feet were like hooves, their faces were like dogs, and they had pointed claws, and they spoke in a rapid, crying voice. Because they often forage in graves, their bodies are mostly covered with fungi that grow in graves. Lovecraft's ghouls are terrifying creatures that live in a network of underground tunnels in cities; they make pacts with witches and sometimes attack humans. After a long time, humans may turn into ghouls.
Volume Three: Celestial Ghosts.
Scripture: The multitude is the soul destroyer, and the gold is more than the wood is insufficient; the saint is the soul of the soul, and the wood is more than the gold. The hidden soul of Gailuo is there, and the wandering of the soul is therefore. Those who see the soul of those who do not distinguish between the souls, those who analyze the heavens and the earth separately, and those whose souls are in the habit of the soul. The dreamer has no distinction between the one who analyzes, the one who analyzes the other and the other, and the one who analyzes the other and the other. Fire is born of earth, so God is in business; native gold is deliberately born of boldness. What God moves, not named God, named will; what is moved by the will, not named, named. But the saints know that I have no self, and that I know nothing, all because of thoughts and calculations. It is from all things that I have sex for, not for them. Sexual people, the heart is not cute, and the heartless is unintentional. If there is no fire, there is no soil, and if there is no intention, there is no recklessness. If there is no soil, there is no gold. One does not exist, and all five are extinct. It can muddy the heavens and the earth and all things as the soul, and Si can muddy the heavens and the earth and all things as the soul. All that is created is my soul, and where all that is created is my soul, there is nothing to serve me.
The power of man, there are creators who can conquer the heavens and the earth, such as winter thunder, summer ice, dead corpses can walk, dead wood can be hua, beans can shoot ghosts, cup fishing, painting doors can be opened, earth ghosts can speak. It can muddy the heavens and the earth and all things as the soul, and Si can muddy the heavens and the earth and all things as the soul. All that is created is my soul, and where all that is created is my soul, there is nothing to serve me.
The heart hides the evil one, the spirit ghost takes it, the heart covers the man and the woman, the adulterous ghost takes it; the heart hides the worry, the Shen ghost takes it; the heart hides the relaxed, the crazy ghost takes it; the heart hides the ally, the strange ghost takes it; the heart hides the medicine bait, the object ghost shoots it. He is in his essence, and this is his essence, and if the two essences fight each other, God should do it. Those who are taken by ghosts, or solve strange things, or solve strange things, or solve things, their people are proud. It is not known that the ghost is in the bow, but the way is in the bow, for a long time, or dead wood, or dead gold, or dead rope, or dead well. Only the saints can be gods and not gods, and they can serve all things and hold on to their chances, they can meet them, they can scatter them, they can rule them, and they should respond to all things every day, and their hearts are silent.
Spell: Demon Trap (Summon/Control BaiAki)
"There, rhythmically flapping, is a group of tamed and trained, bastard-like winged creatures... That's something completely different even compared to crows, moles, vultures, ants, or rotting human corpses—I can't recall, I can never recall. ”
——H． P． Lovecraft, The Feast
Baiaki usually served the "Yellow King Hasta". Baiaki can fly in space, each carrying one person; in order to resist the vacuum and cold in the universe, the rider must use appropriate incantations or golden wine. Baiaki have no bases on Earth, and they generally only appear when they are summoned for missions or as horses.
Cthulhu Baiaki
Volume IV: Earth Ghosts and Their Relationship to Earthquakes.
Scripture: Ru sees the head of the snake, the one who has no arms and fish scales, the earth cow and wooden horse, the ru is not strange, this strange is not as good as the dream, the dream is not aware, there are ears and eyes, there are hands and arms, and the strange is especially strange. Big words cannot be spoken, and great wisdom cannot be thought. If the dragon is like a dragon, if the snake is like a turtle, if the fish is like a clam, the dragon can do it. Jiao, jiao, can not be a dragon, nor can it be a snake for a turtle for a fish for a clam.
But those who are not sincere are difficult to be confident, and it is easy to believe things, so if they pretend to do so, there are mantra reciters, those who have gods, those who have ink characters, and those who change their fingers, they can all serve the gods and change all things.
The Tao is to nothing, and those who return to the Tao with things get a breath; the things are to have, and those who are lucky with the Tao are all in the week. His Holiness the Enlightened One can assist the world, and the one who has attained the Tao alone can establish himself. Those who know that what is not time can be bound can take one day as a hundred years and a hundred years as a day; those who know what is not able to hinder can take one mile as a hundred miles and can take a hundred miles as a mile; those who know that there is no qi can transport qi and can summon wind and rain; those who know that the invisible can change into form can be easy to birds and beasts. Those who have attained the enlightenment can not be tired and light, and can ride the crane; those who have attained the tao, the material can not drown, the body is meditative, and can sit on the whale. To have is not to have, nothing is to have. Those who know this Way can control ghosts and gods; those who know this Way can enter the golden stone; those who know this Way can enter the golden stone; those who know this Way can serve the stars; those who know this Way are ancient and modern, and those who know this Way can become dragons and tigers in their wombs; people are me, I am people, and those who know this Way can peek into the lungs and livers of others; things are me, I am things, and those who know this Way can become dragons and tigers in their wombs. Knowing the image changes from the heart, and by looking at the mind, one can become a baby girl; knowing the qi is born from the heart, so as to absorb the spirit, it can become a furnace. With this victory, the tiger and leopard can be ambushed; with this same thing, water and fire can enter. Only the people of the Word can do it, and they can do it and not do it.
Spell: Ground Gang Kao Summoning Hoop (Contact with the Ground Drill Demon Worm)
Cthulhu Drill Worm
"A bunch of surging tentacles, growing on that soft gray-black bag-like body... Apart from the pile of stretched, groping tentacles, it has no distinctive features to identify. No, yes – yes, there's a lump at the front of this thing... It was a vessel for its brain, or its nerve center, or some other pathological organ that innervated this terrible, disgusting creature. ”
—Brian Ramley, "The Devil Who Ran the Ground"
Their slender worm-like bodies are always wrapped in mucus, and some kind of chant-like sound always accompanies these creatures.
These mighty diggers can survive for a thousand years and will carefully protect their offspring; the Drill Worm has many unusual abilities that bear no resemblance to any creature on the planet. The most important of them is the great ShuddEr Meyer (one of the old rulers).
Any growing-up Worm can communicate telepathically, so they can connect with any individual in their clan and perceive thoughts wherever they are. But only adult Ground Drill Worms can telepathically control creatures of other races.
Volume V: Deep Divers and Their Human Believers along the South China Sea Coast; Time and Space; The Tyndalus Hound and Liaodan.
Scripture: The earth puppets are also made, there are nobles and lowly, and there are soldiers and women. Its texture, its loam, people. The dead turtle has no self, can see the great knowledge; the magnet has no self, can see the power; the bell and drum have no self, can see the big sound; the boat and car have no self, can see the far journey. Therefore I am alone, though I am wise and powerful, and I have deeds and sounds, but I have not tasted me.
Like the drum, the shape of the drum, I have it; the one who makes the sound of the drum, my feelings. The stalk is gone, the afterglow is still there, and it will never exist. The shape of the drum is like my essence, and the sound of the drum is like my god. The rest of the voices, the soul of Judah, the knowing husband and the coming, then the five elements of the qi, I have no reason. Then all things in heaven and earth are my spirit, my god, my soul, who dies, who is born?
The green bird is chitose and chitose, and the peach is five and the heart is five. Cultivators learn cattle to be fierce, hunters learn to be brave, fishermen learn to be shen, and warriors learn horses. All things can be me, I am one body, the inside becomes a cockroach, the outside is a lice, the fistula is a turtle, the fistula is a rat ant, I can be all things. The innuendo can kill me, and the ignorant are also me, then under the heavens, I am everywhere. Although the heavens and the earth are large, they are colored and tangible, and there are many and square. I have no color, no form, no number, no square, and the heavens and the earth exist.
Water can be dissolved and merged, and no one is refined; fire is anointed by god, and there is no self. There is no one in the essence, so the rice is shelled and preserved, and the god has no self, so the ghost sees the god by the object. The all-sperm forget right and wrong, forget the gains and losses, in this one is not the other, the one who holds the god is obscure, the strong and weak, and the other is not.
In oneself, the form is self-possessed, its movement is like water, its stillness is like a mirror, its response is like a sound, it is like death, it is silent, it is the same, it is lost, it has not tasted the ancestors, but it has tasted with others.
Spell: Contact with the Tindarus Hound
Cthulhu Tindaros Hound
"'They're thin and hungry!' He screamed. All the evil in the universe is concentrated in their emaciated, hungry bodies. Then again, do they have bodies—I only look at them for a moment; I'm not sure. ’”
—F. Berkkenap Lang, The Tyndalus Hound
The Tindarus Hound lived on Earth in the Primeval Era, when life on Earth had not yet evolved and even single-celled organisms did not exist. They dwell in the "angle" of time, and in the form of "curve" (please understand the words "angle" and "curve" literally. The time and space of human life are "curved", and the time and space they live in are "angled", in short, that is, the dimensions in which the two are located are different). Other creatures that are ancestors (i.e., ordinary creatures, including humans) are different. This concept is difficult to understand and is only applicable to the Tindarus Hound. They will hunt for prey among ordinary creatures such as humans, and travel across time and space to chase sacrifices. They are immortal.
Volume VI: The Cold Plains and the Unknown Kadath in Central Asia.
Scripture: Xi Shoots xi xi xi qin xi yi, in the end there is nothing that can be obtained in one breath, but the tao is formless and has no way, so it can be obtained in one breath.
The ancient good turtle can show the ancient in the present, the ancient in the present, the high school, the high in the lower, the small in the large, the large in the small, the one in the many, the many in the person, the person in the object, the person in the object, I show the other, the other in the other. It is the Tao, which has come and gone, its past, its high and coverless, its low without load, its big without outside, its small without inside, its outside without things, its no one inside, its near no self, its far no other. Indisciplineable, incomprehensible, incomprehensible, inconceivable. But it is deficient, so it is the Word.
Spell: Phantom Walking Spirit Ascension (Gate of Cadas)
Cthulhu Kadas
"Hey! A- Shatanaigar! Let's go! Send the earthly gods back to The Secret Place, Cardas, where they often come and go, and pray to everyone not to meet My thousand other forms. Farewell, Randolph Carter, you have to be careful; for I am Nyarattop, and I am the Chaos of Volta. ”
Cardas is the dream.
Book VII: Naiaratoti popularizes its innumerable forms; lalayer's ascension and Cthulhu's return; Asatos as the beginning and the end; the ideal form of gods and creatures—a bureaucratic sequence of various divine beings and creatures.
Scripture: There is nothing that is not heaven, nothing that is not life, nothing that is not God, and nothing that is not yuan. If things are like this, are they not like people? Everyone can know the heavens, everyone can know the gods, and everyone can be fatal. Not the other heaven is this not the heaven, the other god is not god, the other is not the life, the other is not the yuan. It is the one who is good at my way, that is, in one thing, who knows the heavens and the gods, and who is fatally created. Learning, wandering in different names, analyzing the same reality. Get it, get it right, forget the name. Therefore, if you hear the Tao in the dynasty, you can die at night.
Mantra: Contact Naiyaratotipu
Naiaratotipu, the God of The Outer Gods. With more than a thousand different forms, it often incarnates as a tall, slender, cheerful, dark-skinned man. Without much introduction, people who know the story of Cthulhu basically know him.
English translation:
At the end of the 19th century, the English version was translated. Legend has it that the name of the so-called "Secret Classics of the Seven Chapters of Xuanjun" is what people called it in the second half of the 19th century, after the book was smuggled out of China. Presumably, several copies of this translation should have been copied at the time, but today it is completely invisible.
