Chapter 8: The Yin Soldier Restrains the Soul
Speaking of this shroud, I am reminded of a story I heard before. It is said that a new clothing store has opened on Wangfujing Street in Beijing, which sells all Tang costumes, and it stands to reason that business will be very good when this popular retro is popular, but this clothing store is an exception. No matter how big the flow of people on the street is on holidays, it is always deserted inside, some people say that the Tang costume in the store is like a shroud worn by a dead man, but the shopkeeper says disapprovingly: "What you see is only the surface, but at night, heh!" It's not me who blows, the whole street business counts me best. They said, "The devil will come and buy it at night." β
The shopkeeper laughed it off. The shopkeeper really didn't lie about this, as long as his shop was at night, the business was very good. Every moonlit and breezy night, when there are only a handful of people waiting on Wangfujing Street, there will be an endless stream of customers in the store, and the store owner even has plans to invite a buddy.
Later, he even closed during the day and opened at night.
Soon, the month arrived. That night, the owner of the shop saw off the last group of customers who were buying clothes, and then closed early, because it was a whole month of opening, and he had to count the money to see how much he had earned.
The shopkeeper held the money box, got home early and took a shower and began to count the money in bed, counting and counting, he suddenly found that the money he earned this month was full of dark coins!
He didn't dare to count them anymore, and hurriedly burned all the boxes of dark coins.
The next day, he ~δΈ~ζ¬~read~ε°~ said~ ybdu didn't dare to open again, and soon closed the shop. Because he knew that all the people who had bought his clothes in the past month were ghosts, and his clothes were mistaken for shrouds by ghosts.
Of course, this is only a story, but this story also shows that the dead need such clothes in the underworld.
Getting back to the point, I found out that Zhang Zhenren was not only wearing a shroud, but also even the shou shoes and hats were ready, a Qing Dynasty melon skin hat was placed next to his pillow, and the shou shoes were worn on his feet.
You must know that dead people's items such as shrouds and hats are different from what we normally wear, so I can't admit my mistake.
Seeing that Zhang Zhenren wore all these things on his body today, my whole body was immediately blinded. I couldn't say anything in horror, could it be that Zhang Zhenren made a mistake? Or did he count on what he wanted?
Zhang Zhenren's expression was very relaxed, and he said: "Don't make a fuss, there will be a catastrophe tonight, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pass." So I've got to tell you something tonight, so I can get on my way. β
Although I had been prepared in my heart for a long time, I couldn't help but tremble when I heard this. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word. Although we have only been together for a few days, he is my master, as the old saying goes, one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father, and he also saved my life.
After a long time, I asked him, "Master, is it because you saved me that day that you have today's calamity?" β
Zhang Zhenren was silent for a long time, and then finally told me what happened.
It turned out that on the day I jumped off the building three days ago, Zhang Zhenren forcibly hindered the black and white impermanence to detain the soul because he saved me, which made him make a big mistake. At that time, he himself knew that if he saved me, he would be guilty of the punishment of hell, and he had to be taken back to the underworld to be punished. However, when he saw my face and found that my face was extremely Dao Yuan, the so-called Dao Yuan, also called Xianyuan, is the so-called Taoist monk life. Seeing this, he couldn't help but lend a helping hand. In his own words, the Maoshan faction can't be without a successor, in case I don't even have a disciple when I die, then I will be ashamed of the ancestor, how about I have to accept a disciple before I die, so as to inherit my mantle.
In the end, Zhang Zhenren saved me, so naturally he was burned, and on the night we returned to Zhang Zhenren's hometown, black and white impermanence came to detain the soul, which was actually Zhang Zhenren arrived early in the morning, so he also deliberately separated me and let me practice courage, the purpose was not to let me know these things.
On the first night, Zhang Zhenren fought a spell with black and white impermanence and escaped. On the second night, he moved the ancestor out, and finally begged for the sake of the Maoshan patriarch for the sake of the black and white impermanence, and gave him a day of leniency, and tonight is the deadline, he must go to the underworld to report!
After listening to Zhang Zhenren's story about the cause and effect, my heart was full of guilt. It can be said that this is entirely because of me, otherwise he would not have suffered the current catastrophe!
Maybe in order to eliminate my guilt, Zhang Zhenren said that the reason why he saved me was also to be able to accept an apprentice, and he did it all for the Maoshan faction, telling me not to think too much.
Of course, in order for me to pass on his mantle and carry forward the secret art of Maoshan, Zhang Zhenren taught me the Maoshan Sect that night.
Some people may ask, what can I learn in such a tight time?
Yes, I was also skeptical at first. Later, after listening to Zhang Zhenren's explanation, I realized that the secret method of Maoshan mainly relies on talismans, spells, arrays, and methods, and the magic used is not effective, so it depends on whether it has been transmitted to the law. As long as the Dharma is taught, then the mantra recited in the mouth will have spiritual thoughts in the future.
Of course, there is no way to do it. After teaching the method, Zhang Zhenren then gave me an ancient book called "Maoshan Secret Technique"!
Zhang Zhenren told me that this book "Maoshan Secret Technique" is a secret book of my faction, which includes feng shui, divination, charms, formations and other techniques. The secret techniques in this book can be used to find dragon points, catch ghosts and subdue demons, and small can settle down in the town house, fortune telling, so I want to study carefully, so I can carry forward my faction in the future!
However, he also told me that in the inheritance of the Maoshan School, in addition to this "Maoshan Secret Technique", there is another thing, that is, the Maoshan Palm Seal, also known as the Yin and Yang Qiankun Seal.
However, the Yin and Yang Qiankun Seal has long been lost, and the specific Zhang Zhenren does not know when it was lost, only that there has been no such inheritance seal for hundreds of years.
Hearing this, I asked him if this Yin and Yang Qiankun seal was very important.
When I asked this, I knew I was knowingly asking. Sure enough, Zhang Zhenren rolled his eyes: "It's all called the seal of the master, can it not matter?" Your master once talked about this seal of the head of the family, saying that this seal is the only magic object left by the ancestor when he ascended to heaven, and this thing can wander in the two worlds of yin and yang, among which the opportunity of Qiankun can change the five disadvantages and three deficiencies in our body. Therefore, it is called Yin and Yang Qiankun Seal! β
I also understand the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, the so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies actually refer to a numerology. The five disadvantages are nothing more than widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability. As the so-called old and without a wife is said to be a widow, old and without a husband is said to be a widow, old and childless is said to be alone, young and fatherless is said to be lonely, and disabled is said to be disabled; And the three shortages, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than money, life, and power.
The reason why the five disadvantages and three deficiencies occur more often to people who learn the Tao is mainly because people who learn the Tao are either fortune-telling and physiognomy, or can explore feng shui, and leak too many heavenly secrets, and the punishment of this kind of person by God makes them unable to enjoy the complete numerology like normal people. This is also the reason why fortune tellers are blind, feng shui masters are short-lived, and those who learn the Tao are childless. As a warlock, five disadvantages and three shortcomings cannot be avoided fate.
Now that I'm a warlock, what about my life? "We, the warlocks, have always been guilty of these five evils and three shortcomings. Because of this, everyone in the Yin Yang Qiankun Seal of my faction wants to take it for themselves, and I think the Yin Yang Qiankun Seal was lost for this reason! Then, Zhang Zhenren obviously saw my doubts and told me bluntly: "I have already calculated it for you, your life is committed on the five disadvantages and three deficiencies - life, so Yang Shou will not be too long." If I'm not mistaken, your life will be in three years' time, so you need to be careful. β
Hearing this, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart, maybe this is a sad feeling, right? You know, I finally escaped the ghost of the ghost before, I thought that I would be fine if I worshiped Maoshan Mountain, but I thought that there was a shortage of life, and it was only three years, isn't this playing with me? "You don't need to worry too much, the mystery of numerology is not a fortune that can determine a lifetime. As the saying goes, Fu Lu can change at will, so as long as you do good and righteous in the future, pave bridges, build roads, and do good deeds, your life can also be changed. Of course, if you can find the seal of the head of the house, then your lack of life can be resolved. "In order not to make me pessimistic and disappointed, Zhang Zhenren said." Master rest assured, I will definitely try my best to retrieve the magic weapon inherited by my faction. I nodded, but I knew in my heart that I couldn't get it back for hundreds of years, and how could I possibly get it back?
In this way, Zhang Zhenren explained for two or three hours without detail, until when the time came, Zhang Zhenren urged me out of the bedroom, and then closed the door tightly, telling me that no matter what noise happened in the next room, I was not allowed to enter the room for half a step!
Shortly after that night, I saw two figures, one white and one black, entering Zhang Zhenren's room. The two men were nine feet tall, and I couldn't see them, but I knew they must be black and white.
As soon as Black and White Impermanence entered the room, there was a whipping sound in Zhang Zhenren's room. I know in my heart that Zhang Zhenren is being punished in hell!
I knelt outside the door like this, gritting my teeth and listening to the sound of the leather whip in the room, I wanted to rush in more than once to bear this punishment for him, but thinking of Zhang Zhenren's advice, I had to kneel outside the door and cry silently. The sound of this whip on a person is heard until the rooster crows
After dawn, I rushed into Zhang Zhenren's room. I saw that he was no longer able to fight, he was covered with scars from head to toe, and there was no good place.
Of course, he had stopped breathing
