Chapter 49: The Test
Seeing that I didn't know how to answer, the old man walked to my bedside and picked up the broken book, flipped through it casually, and praised me, "It's a good book." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hundreds of miles of Pyongyang heaven and earth, there are no rivers and no fate, if you have slept here, dare to ask where the immortal residence is?" The old man seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to ask me, his eyes were removed from the book, and he gave me back the book with a long sigh.
I've been reading this book since I was a child, and the content in it has long been memorized, but some things are more obscure and difficult to understand, and the reason why I take it with me when I'm okay is not how much I love to learn and study, but it's just a habit that I've developed for a long time.
I remember that once when the school organized an outing, I brought such a book with me, and when others were happily relaxing, I flipped through the book to pass the time, and was seen by a classmate at that time, and said that I was a feudal superstitious anti-human.
Judging from the current situation, you can only chew and meditate on the things covered in the book, or you can only communicate with the older generation of experts, and want to find a confidant of the same age? All I can say is 'hehe'.
I haven't seen this poem before, I haven't heard of it, I believe that even if I search on Baidu, I can't find such a poem, but I can hear the meaning of this poem, this poem is actually a kind of jargon, every sentence is related to feng shui, Kanyu, the last sentence can be said to be testing me, if I can roughly answer it, it must be an insider.
I was surprised when I heard this poem, but I didn't expect that although this old man was not good-looking, he was actually a connoisseur, and he was still a great connoisseur. It's a blessing for me to meet this kind of person, I've always wanted to find someone to have a good conversation, but I haven't had that opportunity for so many years, and now there is such a senior master here, how can I let it go easily?
The general meaning of his poem is that the general tombs are buried in the treasure land of feng shui, and the so-called treasure land of feng shui must have mountains and rivers, and the strange terrain composed of mountains and rivers is conducive to blessing future generations, and the place is the most suitable place for burial. As long as you know some knowledge of feng shui, many people can judge the burial place of the tomb according to the shape of the mountains and rivers, and even if there is an error, it is not far off.
The plain area is a flat river, and there is no trace to be found at all, is there no feng shui treasure land in the plain area? The answer is no, according to my grandmother, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shijiazhuang once unearthed a stack of fragments in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the reason why it is called a fragment, is because this set of paper files is seriously damaged, most of them have been eroded by moisture, according to the remaining sporadic written records, because the plain area is soft, mostly sandy structure, coffins and corpses are not conducive to preservation, it is difficult to achieve 'millennium without decay, Eternal existence in the world', so some powerful people would rather choose the tomb in the deep mountains and old forests, of course, the financial, human and material resources spent are nothing to them, and only their kind of people can afford to play this kind of burial game, ordinary people eat is a problem, this kind of thing does not need to think about it.
The fragment records that in the 47th year of Qianlong, after the case of Shandong Governor Guotai and Yu Yijian emptying the treasury, Hongli ordered He Shen, Liu Yong and Qian Feng to investigate the case.
Regardless of Cathay's high position, he was a powerful party, even his family members were all local dignitaries, and Wen Shou, who was the governor of Sichuan at that time, was his father, and it is said that his father loved money as much as his son, and also loved to raise strange people. Sichuan is a very mysterious place, since ancient times, the Miao people there will have some mysterious 'evil arts', the so-called evil arts, not just Gu arts, the general Gu arts are Bai Miao is good at, if the Gu magic is mysterious, then the black Miao's spell is even more incredible. And Cathay's father, Wen Shou, has a high priest in the Miao village, and he is the legendary black Miao priest!
Wen Shou is very important to the son of Cathay, when he received the news, immediately turned to the high priest for help, raising soldiers for a thousand days with soldiers, the high priest understood this truth very well, at that time he said: "Ling Lang has now been dismissed from his post and investigated, after the autumn asked to behead, time is not much, only to find a large tomb to bury its pillows, bedding, clothes and shoes and socks in the original tomb coffin, when he was beheaded on the seventh day of the soul to seal his soul in the coffin, and then cast a spell on the coffin for three years, you can bring the dead back to life for three years." ”
Wen Shou was convinced of the high priest's ability and felt that what the high priest said was very reasonable, so he entrusted the high priest with carte blanche to handle it.
At that time, Sichuan was vast and sparsely populated, and there were few large tombs in the deep mountains, so the high priest set his sights on the neighboring province of Hubei, and there may be no concept of feng shui in his concept, because one night in Hubei, it is said that he watched the stars at night, so he designated a place and ordered people to excavate, and sure enough, there was a huge ancient tomb under the flat land.
After the fragment was unearthed, it not only triggered deep thinking in the archaeological community, but also caused a sensation among some feng shui masters, who never thought that there was really a big tomb in the plain area, but few people could understand the night stargazing mentioned in the fragment, and the wisdom contained in it was not something that ordinary people could relate.
On the seventh day of Cathay's beheading, the high priest removed the tomb owner from the coffin, then put Cathay's sleeping pillow, and made a clay figure with the temple's incense ash and tripping water.
Four bronze tripods were placed around the coffin, which was the circle arranged by the priest, and then the priest crossed his knees in front of the coffin and began to cast a spell. After all, Cathay was a sinner in the imperial court, and according to the law at the time, family members were not allowed to set up a mourning hall, so Cathay's father Wen Shou began to eat fasting and abstain from alcohol, secretly set up incense tables in the cellar, and prayed for incense every day whenever he was free.
It took three years to resurrect Cathay, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and two years later, Wen Shou died, and everything he had done before was defeated.
The high priest also entered the Yellow Spring on the day of Wen Shou's death, and he never told the master Wen Shou one thing, in fact, the high priest's formation is called blood sacrifice to return the soul, and the high priest's essence blood is used to return the soul of Cathay, once Cathay is resurrected, it is the death of the high priest, which is an evil spell that changes his life against the sky.
There is only so much information recorded in the fragment, and regardless of the authenticity of the blood sacrifice and the resurrection of the soul, it is enough to answer the old man's question from the astrological search for dragon points in the plains revealed in the scroll.
I smiled and hugged my fist at the old man and answered three short sentences in the jargon, and the old man was stunned for a long time and laughed out loud.
I said, "Star Shift, Liuhe, Immortal Gate Open." ”
