Xiaopang then said: "According to the 'Wumen World's First', this bead is called 'Suihou Zhu', also known as 'Spirit Snake Pearl'." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is said that after Feng Yueteng cured Wang Fatzi, the 'Wumen World Pioneer' asked Feng Yueteng how to avoid the spirit snake through the valley of death, Feng Yueteng shook his head and said: "This 'valley of death' is also called 'spirit snake valley', which hides many male spirit snakes, these male spirit snakes are small, fast, and their whereabouts are strange, making people unguardable, unless they can find the legendary 'spirit snake pearl', otherwise this 'valley of death' can only be a dead end." It is said that although the male spirit snake is fierce and poisonous, the female spirit snake is a psychic snake, and this 'spirit snake pearl' is the thing to which the female spirit snake belongs, which can drive away the male spirit snake, but where is this 'spirit snake pearl' There are different opinions, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it for a while."
Due to the time was very urgent, at that time, the 'Wumen Tianxia Xian' did not ask Feng Yueteng more about the 'Spirit Snake Pearl', and after bidding farewell to Feng Yueteng, they took their people to the "Black Forest" to the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town", but because the "Black Forest" road itself was relatively far, coupled with the delay in the "Valley of Death", they arrived at the "Snake Swamp Ghost Town" several days later than their opponents, so that their opponents seized the opportunity and almost missed the big event.
The second time 'Wumen Tianxia Xian' heard about the "Spirit Snake Pearl" was in Lin Yin Temple, and it was several years after the "Snake Swamp Ghost City" bandit. "Wumen world first" after the success, settled in Hangzhou near the West Lake, do the bandit fight since ancient times is a disgraceful thing, known as "stealing graves and digging graves, cut off children and grandchildren" of the livelihood, although many people are out of helplessness, but after all, there is a sense of guilt, so 'Wumen world first' often go to the Lin Yin Temple to participate in Zen and burn incense, give alms and make wishes, accumulate more yin virtue, for a long time, it has become a very good friend with the abbot of Lin Yin Temple "Guangci" master. One day, "Wumen Tianxiaxian" inadvertently mentioned to Master Guangci the matter of "Spirit Snake Valley" and "Spirit Snake Pearl", but Master Guangci had seen this bead, and knew very well about this bead, according to Master Guangci, this Spirit Snake Pearl is not something that ordinary people can get, and people who get this bead will be killed if they don't get it right.
It turned out that Master Guangci was a monk at the Reclining Buddha Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing when he was young, when he had just been liberated and the society was still very unstable. One day, Guangci was chanting in the meditation room, when suddenly a person broke in from outside the door, and after this person broke into the house, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious. When Guangci saw that this person was seriously injured, he put this person on the bed, and at first glance, it turned out to be a Taoist priest. I saw that this person's face was pale, his eyes protruded forward, he took off his shirt to check, and found that there were three paw prints on his back, Master Guangci immediately understood, this person must have been scratched by a zombie, and he was poisoned by corpses, and there was no cure, so he had to feed this person some antidote and healing herbs to temporarily stabilize the spread of corpse poison. After a while, this person woke up, took out a silver box from his arms and handed it to Master Guangci, and said with tears that he should not have listened to his senior brother's words, and now not only did he incur the disaster of killing, but also affected his senior brother, and begged Master Guangci to help hand over this silver box to his senior brother, the jade pine Taoist of Shanxi Zilin Temple, and after speaking, he died with a whimper.
Guangci buried this person in the back mountain of the Reclining Buddha Temple, overtook the undead, and then according to the instructions of this person before his death, he took this silver box to Shanxi, and finally found the Yusong Taoist of Zilin Guan, told the Yusong Taoist of the person's death, and handed over the silver box to Yusong. Yusong Dao sighed and said: "My junior brother is good anywhere, he is competitive and competitive, and he ended up with today's result, this is the will of God." After speaking, he clasped the bottom of the silver box with one hand, and pushed it with the other hand, opening the silver box, and Master Guangci saw that there was a bead in the silver box, which emitted fluorescence. According to Yusong Daochang, this bead is called "Suihou Pearl", also known as "Spirit Snake Pearl", which is the treasure of Suiguo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, also known as "Suihou Bi", and "He's Bi" and called "Spring and Autumn Two Treasures".
"Huainanzi" and "Sou Shen Ji" have records: Spring and Autumn Period, Suiguo has a place called Broken Snake Hill, one day, travel with Hou, see a big snake was broken in two, Sui Hou saw that the snake has some spirits, so he ordered the accompanying people to treat with medicine, the snake can move immediately, this big snake is a female spirit snake, also called the mother of the spirit snake. A year later, this big snake pearl came to repay Suihou. "The pearl is inch, pure white, and the night is bright, such as the light of the moon, can be candle room, so it is called 'Sui Hou Zhu', also called 'Spirit Snake Bead', and also said 'Bright Moon Pearl'. There is a pond with Dr. Ji Liang in the south of the hill.
According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, this "Suihou Zhu" was given to Li Chunfeng by the Tang King, and it was recorded in Li Chunfeng's Taoist classic "Golden Lock Liuzhu Introduction": "The pearl of the spirit snake, the return of Yuan and Li, all Vientiane are rested." The three talents are acquired, the Tao is born, and what others take, it is not as good as ten days, and they fall into reincarnation". According to Taoist legend, this Hou Zhu was obtained by Li Chunfeng, and became the Taoist treasure "Spirit Snake Bead", which recorded the location of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice tombs. "Sancai" in Taoism refers to "heaven, earth, man", but also refers to "people, gods, ghosts", in addition to the "three talents" people, other people get the "spirit snake beads" can only bring disaster, less than a month, will die, fall into the nine reincarnation.
It turned out that the head of Yusong Dao had a friend, who was a mountain movers, and the mountain movers were engaged in tomb robbing, and were good at the art of life restraint, and their whereabouts were hidden and difficult to find, and they rarely communicated with outsiders, but what they did was only to obtain "Danzhu", not for property.
One day, when the mountain mover came to visit the chief of Yusong Dao, he mentioned the three major sacred pearls of China--- the dust beads, the dust beads, and the red pills, among which the dust beads are made of mysterious materials similar to jade, which are said to be obtained by the Yellow Emperor to sacrifice to the sky, and the legend is that it was later used to accompany the burial of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the tomb was destroyed by the peasants after the Maoling, and its whereabouts are still unknown; Chidan is the most legendary, legend has it that the Dan comes from Sanshen Mountain, has the miraculous effect of rebirth, has always been the secret collection of the palace, lost in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The mountain movers have been looking for "dust beads". According to this "mountain mover", the "three major divine pearls" are still available to ordinary people, while the Taoist treasure "spiritual snake beads" are not available to ordinary people, and only the "three talents" can get this "spiritual snake beads".
Yusong Dao Chang has a junior brother, the Taoist name is "Feng Lingzi", this Feng Lingzi is very smart and studious, upright, the Tao is quite deep, and the martial arts are strong, but there is one thing, Feng Lingzi is naturally arrogant, always likes to compete with others, so Yusong Dao Chang did not persuade Feng Lingzi, but Feng Lingzi did not listen. When Feng Lingzi listened to the Taoist about the three divine beads and the spirit snake beads, he made up his mind to get this Taoist treasure spirit snake bead and make Zilin Temple a Taoist holy land. Yusong Daoist has high morality, has a half-immortal body, and must be in difficulty, persuading Feng Lingzi not to do this, people outside the "three talents" will definitely be killed if they get the spirit snake bead, but Feng Lingzi does not believe it, and insists on finding this spirit snake bead. Daoist Yusong had no choice, and told Feng Lingzi that if something happened to him after he got the Spirit Snake Bead, he must ask a Buddhist to bring the Spirit Snake Bead back to Zilin Temple, and he would deal with the matter afterwards, so as not to affect others.
Needless to say, this Feng Lingzi is the person who broke into Master Guangci's meditation room and died of corpse poison in his body, as for how he found the spirit snake bead and what dangerous things he encountered, no one can know. After Daoist Yusong and Master Guangci finished talking about the Spirit Snake Bead and Feng Lingzi, he sighed again: "Heaven and earth have their own cause and effect, and the calamity is destined to be inevitable, I have calculated that I and my junior brother will have this calamity, please bring it because the Buddha and the Tao are connected, and the Taoist treasure may be able to show grace to the Buddhist disciples, please forgive the master." Now that this snake bead is in my hands, and I consider myself not to be a person of the 'Three Talents', I should bear this calamity and send it back to where it belongs, so that others will not be killed again." According to Master Guangci, a few years later, when he passed by Shanxi, remembered this incident, and went to visit the Taoist of Yusong again, the Taoist priest of Zilin Temple told him that the Taoist of Yusong had disappeared a few years ago, and since then, the spirit snake bead has not been heard from again.
Xiaopang told the story of 'Suihou Zhu' for almost an hour, that is, the story of the Taoist treasure 'Spirit Snake Bead', and then held this bead in his hand and told me proudly:" Brother Dong, I said that buddies are blessed with great life and great creation, Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the Tao is quite deep, this spirit snake bead is said to be only good if the people of the three talents get it, and the others have already given the fart to cold and die, I have been getting it for more than a month, and I have already passed what the Taoist method said, but I am still sitting here dignified, what does this mean? I found someone to calculate a hexagram yesterday, saying that I was born in the first day of October, the eight characters are in line with the number of ghost talents, and the soles of my feet are secretly stepping on the seven stars, maybe it is which immortal turns, I will show you", and he will take off his shoes after speaking.
"Damn, don't mind, I believe it, please don't take off your shoes", I smiled: "However, I think it's quite appropriate to say that you are a ghost"
Xiaopang didn't take off his shoes at this time, and then said: "Brother Dong, the place where the tombs of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are recorded in this spirit snake bead, and it is a secret traffic map. Li Zhi three generations of emperors reuse, there must be a lot of good things in the tomb, although this spirit snake bead is a Taoist treasure, but there is this kind of killing Taoist method, it is estimated that no one dares to buy, since it is in the hands of buddies, and buddies are just the life of ghosts, this is the will of God, indicating that the things in the tomb of these two old men are destined to be left for our buddies. Brother Dong, how about it, share the blessings, let's go on a trip together, and make enough money. Really, in order to reassure you, let's look at the seven stars on the soles of my feet", he said and took off his shoes again.
I hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I got it with kindness." But the last time I went to Yuquan Mountain, I knew that this thief is just playing with my life, and I won't do this anymore no matter how many good things there are."
Xiaopang said: "Actually, it's not just about money, Brother Dong, 'Wumen Tianxiaxian' also told me one thing, you don't need me to take off my shoes after listening to it, you yourself must be crying and shouting that you want to go"
