A fake spirit tablet found by the bedside
A client asked about a talisman by his wife’s bedside. I told him it was a fake, and what to do with it.
The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.
Client
I bought two
买了2
I’ll take photos when I get home later
一会回家我给照照片
Zongyuan
Xin Hai is a deity figure. Before this, you had fake deity or Buddha statues that were never consecrated
辛亥是神仙，之前请过没有开光的假神佛
Wu Hai combination means ribbons, red paper. You bought fake luck-transfer papers, talismans, things you stick up
午亥合是飘带，红纸张，买过假的什么转运纸，符，贴的东西

Go look through things when you get back. You can still find them this year
回去回头翻翻，今年还找得到
They were stored in the Chen year, in a drawer
辰年入库的，在抽屉里
Mm 😀
嗯😀
This is the thing to look for. The rest aren’t as urgent
这个要去找找，其他还不是太要紧
Because this feeds the growth of wood
因为这个会促进长木
Client
I think there’s a talisman in my wife’s bedside table. I can’t even remember when it got there
我看我媳妇床头里好像有个符，都忘了是啥时候的了
I’ll check when I get home
一会回家我看看
There’s this talisman in my wife’s bedside table, I don’t know when it’s from
我媳妇床头橱这个符不知道是啥时候的

The paper for the family guardian spirit was supposed to be replaced, I haven’t written the new one yet
保家仙的纸要换还没写
Zongyuan
It’s flat too
也是扁的

Is that a ribbon
是不是飘带啊

It really is
真是
Zongyuan, what should I do with the family guardian spirit setup at home
师父，那我家的保家仙应该咋处理一下啊
Wow, this is so [emoji]

It really is on paper

Take it down on a Chou day and burn it at the back northeast corner of your house
丑日摘下来家里后面的东北角烧了就行
If there’s a mark on the wall after you take it down, paint over it
摘了如果墙上有印子 再刷一刷
Client
Burn it outside the yard then
院子外烧吧
Zongyuan
Yes
对
Client
Burn it outside the yard then
院子外烧吧
Okay okay
好的好的
Zongyuan
Today is a good day for it
今天是个好日子
It’s the Xu hour now
戌时了
Having this enshrined in your home makes you more prone to inflammation. The house also gets moldy more easily
你家里供了这个 会比较容易发炎的，
家里也容易发霉
The inflammation usually shows up on the skin, private areas, feet, scalp
发炎一般是皮肤，私处，脚部，头皮
Client
Moldy
发霉
Zongyuan
It’s all connected, isn’t it
是不是万物一体啊
Client
Yes yes yes
有有有

Yeah, this is incredible
是，太牛逼了

Zongyuan
Where do you and your wife have inflammation
你和太太哪里发炎
With this fox spirit here, when you burn incense for the Three Pure Ones, have you ever had the incense break, or gotten burned by it
有这个狐狸在，你给三清上香是不是断过香，或者被烫过
Client
I have nephritis, does that count
我肾炎算不，
Zongyuan
Yes
是的
Client
My wife gets skin and hair follicle inflammation all the time
我媳妇皮肤，毛囊老发炎

Zongyuan
That’s the fox and snake energy. One has scales, so dry peeling skin. Snakes also correspond to the reproductive system. Snakes don’t actually like living in water long-term, especially pythons.
就是狐狸和蛇的毛病，一个都是鳞片嘛，就起皮，蛇也生殖器代表，蛇实际不喜长期在水里生存，尤其蟒蛇。
Client
I got burned. When I was lighting the second incense stick, it burned me a few times
烫过，就是上第二根香时候，烫过我几次
Zongyuan
Mm, that was it trying to remind you, over and over
嗯，就是反复提醒你
Client
Zongyuan, how do you tell Xin Hai is a fake deity
师父，辛亥咋看是假神的
Zongyuan
Xin is the metal within Si
辛是巳中的金
It’s the dharma, the outward form of the deity
是法
That’s the real deity on the surface
这是真神
But underneath there’s a Hai hidden
但是下面藏着一个亥
Inside, wood is growing in secret
里面偷摸长木了
Isn’t that a spirit creature wearing a deity’s hat
是不是套着神仙帽子的精怪啊
So either it’s a wild animal spirit, or it was never consecrated, never had official recognition
那么要么是野物，要么没开光，没有官方认证
Client
Whoa, I want to say incredible again
卧槽，我又要说牛逼了
Wow, wow
牛牛牛，
Xin is the dharma that people see on the outside. The hidden wood in Hai is selfish intent, so it’s actually harmful
辛是外界看见的法，亥中甲长木是私心，实际是坏的
Zongyuan
So go look at how your family guardian spirit paper is pasted up
所以你的保家仙咋贴的你看看
Client
It’s on newspaper [emoji]
报纸[emoji]

“Cultivating immortality and attaining the Tao”
修仙得道
Would a real deity need to brag about that
那实际神仙还需要标榜自己不
[emoji]
[emoji]
Saying you “cultivated immortality and attained the Tao”
说自己"修仙得道"
The faker something is, the more it has to pretend
越是假 越要装
Client
That’s what it’s claiming to be
追求的目标
Means the more you don’t have something, the more you talk about it
说明越是没有，越是要提什么
Auspicious date selection
