Definition[2]

The nine magical characters 臨兵鬪者皆陳列在前 implying that the armed forces are arrayed against the powers of evil. After reciting these words, four vertical and five horizontal lines, forming a grid, are drawn in the air to show that the forces are arrayed. It was used among Taoists and soldiers, and is still used in Japan, especially when going into the mountains.

Definition[3]

(修法)成自九字印明之咒術。又名六甲秘祝。即唱臨、兵、鬥、者、皆、陳、列、在、前、之九字後,畫四縱五橫之直線於空中也。又有縱橫法之稱。此為禳災害制勝利所修之一種咒法也。原行於道家或兵家之間。抱朴子內篇第四登陟篇曰:「入山宜知六甲秘祝。祝曰:臨兵鬥者皆陳列前行。凡九字,常當密祝之,無所不避,要道不煩,此之謂也。」往生論註卷下曰:行師對陳,但於一切齒中,誦臨兵鬥者皆陳列前行。誦此九字,五兵所不中。抱朴子謂之要道者也。或謂此九字之九,為陽之滿數,故以陽數伏陰氣云。蓋此法非佛教之所詮,及後世,以為兵法之秘傳而傳之,又混入真言密教之一部,日本遂有承之者。其作法稍為複雜。手結金剛針印,口唱臨。手結大金剛輪印,口唱兵。結外獅子印,而唱鬥。結內獅子印而唱者。結外縛印唱皆。結內縛印唱陳。結智拳印唱列。結日輪印唱在。結實瓶印唱前。次結刀印,如次畫四縱五橫之形於空中。但線須各為直角,而其各線皆斜於同一方向,亦無妨。或謂九字咒與縱橫法,實為兩事,後人誤合為一。軍林寶鑑上速用篇說縱橫法曰:「正立門內叩齒三十六通,以右手大拇指,先畫四縱,後為五橫訖。即咒曰:四縱五橫,吾今出行。禹王衛道,蚩尤避兵。盜賊不起,虎狼不行,還歸故鄉。當我者死,背吾者亡。急急如律令。咒畢即行,慎勿反顧。」特佛徒亦用之。
