Chapter 202: The Origin of the Necklace
The Taoist priest was disheartened, but he also felt strange, and even raised his head and asked what the idol was, but when he didn't expect it, the idol actually moved!
The Taoist priest was startled, and hurriedly prepared to protect himself, a stone statue of the god, said to move, no one can calm down.
Who knows, the Taoist priest, who has always been proud of his talent and intelligence, was broken by the stone statue hooked his fingers!
What happened in the middle, no one knows, but later people heard that after the Taoist priest lived in the Taoist temple for one night, he actually returned to the court, and when he returned to the court, he became exquisite and eloquent almost overnight, and in a short period of time, he gathered a large number of his own forces in the court.
The Taoist priest was more and more valued by the emperor, his status became higher and higher, he did not have to worry about food and clothing, and the emperor also built a Taoist temple for him and accepted a large number of disciples.
But even so, the Taoist priest was still not satisfied, and finally, he began to plot a rebellion.
At that time, he already had some proud protégés, and after learning the news that he was going to rebel, some people expressed their willingness to follow Master to do the right and wrong for heaven, while some people insisted on their own concept of right and wrong.
For example, the old man is about to talk about this person now.
I don't know why, the old man didn't tell me his name, and even when he told the story, the protagonist in it didn't have a name......
However, the old man told me that it was their ancestor who stood out from the crowd and was unwilling to go along with his master, since he was their ancestor, anyway, I don't know how many generations were ranked up, so I simply called him Shizu.
The ancestor tried his best to dissuade his master, but his master had a violent personality and insisted on going his own way, and the master saw that this was not going to work, so he went to persuade the emperor, but the emperor was deceived by the Taoist priest at that time, and he didn't believe what others said at all.
Not only that, but the emperor also told the Taoist priest about the fact that the ancestor went to make a "small report", and because of this, the ancestor was driven out of the division, almost as if he was fleeing for his life, and evaded all kinds of pursuit along the way, and finally fled to the mountains.
From the very beginning, Shizu had doubts about the gods enshrined in his temple, because it was not any of the gods they had ever seen, and later, Shizu knew that it was not the so-called Taoist true god at all, but a guy named Xuanyuan Yiran!
Yes, that's right, it's him, the general who has been plotting to rebel since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, thousands of years have passed, and the obsession in his heart has not been let go......
That's right, if you can let go easily, it's not called obsession......
Shizu dragged all kinds of relationships and forces to inquire, of course, there was no shortage of officials in the court who really served the country and the people, and they learned of the ambition of the Taoist priest and began to stop it in every possible way.
Through the investigation of various forces, they finally found that the Taoist priest who returned from the mountains was no longer the Taoist priest before, but was possessed by Xuanyuan Yiran, Xuanyuan Yiran's obsession that lasted for thousands of years, still did not let go, even as a wandering soul in the world, he still had a heart that wanted to be an emperor.
Later, during the Ming Dynasty, water transportation was prosperous, and several upright officials in the court deceived the Taoist priest into the boat under a pretense, and on the boat, they used the necklace in my hand now to suppress Xuanyuan Yiran's soul, and suppressed Xuanyuan Yiran in the body of the Taoist priest, and after that, even people and boats sank into the sea together.
Since then, my master has been incognito, only accepting a few disciples in his life, and always after a certain age, the apprentices are dismissed, and the master teaches not to accept disciples in a big way, and not to publicize them.
The legacy of the master has been passed down to the present, and even the old man in front of me, he doesn't even have an apprentice.
Of course, I won't talk about it in front of him, otherwise, he will hold me again and force me to be his apprentice.
The old man talked for a long time, and only explained to me the identity of the ship and the corpse, that is to say, this boat is equivalent to the tomb of the Taoist priest, but others are buried in the soil, and this Taoist priest is buried in the water.
So how did this chain come about?
I asked the old man, but the old man shook his head and said, "I only know that the pendant on this is the god of war, the second son of the dragon, Ke Ke Sha." It was he who suppressed Xuanyuan's soul. ”
I've heard of this, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different, for example, the prisoner cow, is the eldest son of the dragon, and loves music, so the Chinese guqin will be engraved with the appearance of the prisoner cow. Another example is mocking the wind, good hope, so most people's houses will stand on the eaves of the house to mock the wind all the time.
And this Jianxi, the most aggressive and awesome of the nine sons of the dragon, is usually engraved on the hilt or ring of the knife, which can restrain all evil.
However, I think that what can restrain Xuanyuan Yiran is not only this necklace, but the power left by our ancestors on this chain.
However, the Taoist priest was also miserable, he was not favored from the beginning, and in the end, he even took his life.
The old man said that the chain was made of ancient black iron, and it should not have been oxidized, but it had been in the belly of the fish for too long, but now it had returned to its original state.
After saying that, the old man took the necklace, touched the eyelid on it, and put it on my neck.
"Take it, since the third child wants to give it to you, it will definitely be good for you."
I looked at it and tucked it into the collar, this thing is too high-profile, and if I go out like this, some people will definitely think that I am from the underworld.
The old man's story had been told for too long, and the fish were all marinated, and when he brought the basin, I smelled a fragrance, of course, not the smell of meat, but the fish was still raw.
The old man took the fish out of the basin, cleaned up the spices on it, sniffed it, and seemed to be quite satisfied with his results.
I saw him put the fish in the pot, then turned to me and asked me with interest, "What do you think is the best way to make fish?" Braised or steamed, or sweet and sour? ”
Anyway, I'm not going to do any......
People who don't have the ability are not qualified to be picky.
This is a sentence that the third master often told me when he was a child, and it was when I secretly told him that my grandmother's cooking was not as delicious as his, because the third master said it many times, and I have long remembered it.
I looked at the fish that had changed, looked up, smiled at the old man, and replied, "You can do whatever you like, I don't pick any flavor you like!" ”
