Chapter 225: The Legend of Soul Borrowing
Fa Dian smiled: "As the last Yellow River monk, I will never allow anyone to do this kind of thing under my nose!" This is a change of life against the sky, contrary to common sense! ”
"You...... If you put it simply, let's just say what should we do now? Rush in to stop them? I asked anxiously.
Fa Dian shook his head: "There is no need to be in such a hurry, this kind of sacrifice must be carried out at night, and some other sacrifices must be prepared, they will definitely not be in time tonight, so be it!" You call the police first, if it really doesn't work, I'll go out again! ”
Alarm? I didn't expect Fa Dian to say this, I was a little disappointed in my heart, and I thought he would pat his chest and shout: You rushed into me with me, just stand aside and watch how I cleaned them up with three punches and six kicks......
The two of them walked to the mouth of the alley, and I took out my mobile phone to call Liu Liwei and briefly told me about the old man being skinned by his family.
Liu Liwei, who was on the other side of the phone, pondered for a moment, and asked me to stare at it from a distance, not to act rashly, he would call the local police station first, and at the same time let Hao Minyuan come with the criminal police team overnight.
The two of us found an abandoned house to sit down on the steps, just a toss, I was tired and frightened, after deducting the phone, I felt that my legs were weak at this time, and my palms and feet were sweaty.
At this point, I estimate that it will take at least half an hour for the people from the town police station to rush over, and the two of them chatted while looking at the black gate from a distance.
As soon as I sat down, I asked about the skinning of the river, in fact, in addition to curiosity, there was a more important reason: I knew that my father's skinning was related to this ancient ritual of sacrificing to the river.
This time, Fa Dian did not sell Guanzi, he told me:
Although the ritual of sacrificing the river has been there since ancient times, especially the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River and other major river basins, it is more popular, the original river sacrifice is to pray for good weather and pray for a good harvest in the coming year, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the feudal superstition color reached its peak, the river sacrifice ceremony has become a sacred and solemn sacrificial activity, at that time the large-scale river sacrifice ceremony is used "human sacrifice".
The ancient things cannot be reproduced, but the real situation is a hundred times crueler than the "Hebo marries his daughter-in-law" in the primary school textbook.
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, this kind of sacrificial activities gradually fell off the altar, although such as Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and other Ming monarchs also held large-scale river worship activities, but its nature is similar to the Feng Zen activities, has completely changed the taste, purely the emperor to express his reverence for nature, but also to show the peace of the country.
The more than 80 years of the Yuan Dynasty was definitely a regression in the history of Chinese civilization, especially in the northern region, when all the Han people lived under the iron hooves of the Mongols, and its misery could not be described clearly in a short language.
Just one example.
In the early Ming Dynasty, because of more than 100 years of conquest and massacre, Shandong's population plummeted by two-thirds, especially in the northern part of our area, which directly became a deserted nature, so Zhu Yuanzhang and several generations of emperors had to migrate the population of Shanxi, Henan and other places.
Troubled times are reckless!
At that time, there was a secret organization in the Yellow River Valley, known as the "River Ghosts", whose original purpose was to "drive out the Tartars and return the rivers and mountains", but after decades of development, the nature completely changed, and they mastered a very powerful set of witchcraft, including the later terrifying corpse exorcism and witchcraft similar to the Thai 'national head-descending technique).
But the weirdest and most powerful thing is a kind of witchcraft called soul borrowing, that is, using qualified and skinned people to sacrifice to the river, so as to borrow the soul from the river god to continue his life.
It is said that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old "monster" who lived for 260 years in this area, which used this evil witchcraft.
The life span of all things in the world is predestined, and the length of life is a fixed number.
By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, this mysterious organization seemed to have disappeared, and they faded from the people's view, but became more insidious and evil, often using human sacrifices to the river.
Where there is evil, there will be justice. Yunxuan Pavilion
The Yellow River Taoist and the Yellow River monks also appeared almost in the early Ming Dynasty, the two sides were like two incompatible forces, constantly fighting and fighting, until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a very powerful monk and Taoist priest in this area, they united and the evil organization for a decisive battle.
The result can be imagined, but the Yellow River Daoist and the Yellow River monks were also greatly injured, and they collapsed so far.
In the past two or three hundred years from the fifteenth year of Kangxi to the present, the entire Yellow River valley has been very peaceful, but the masters of each generation of Yellow River Taoists and Yellow River monks will warn them that the river ghosts have not completely disappeared......
Fa Dian's master was the last generation of Yellow River monks, and he was the last generation.
The Yellow River Daoist has disappeared, and as for the uncle, although he has mastered the Taoist skills of the Yellow River Daoist, he is no longer a Taoist.
He had heard the master say that the most powerful kind of soul borrowing technique is to sacrifice twelve skinned people to the river in the order of "heavenly stems", which can extend the life span of at least a hundred years, and if there are pure yin and pure yang bodies among these twelve people, they can even make people immortal.
Maybe it's just an evil legend!
As I was listening, I heard the roar of cars coming from the entrance of the village, and I was stunned for a moment, and when I saw two cars coming, I hurried into the middle of the street.
The police car stopped in front of me and jumped out of more than a dozen people, led by a fat man who had seen twice before, and it was estimated that all the people from the entire police station had come out.
When the fat man saw me, he hurriedly ran over.
"Brother, what's the situation?"
I "shh
Only the director and deputy director of the town police station have the right to match the gun, he glared, pulled out the robbery, and more than a dozen subordinates also tightly clutched the rubber rods, and soon everyone gathered on both sides of the gate, and the fat man glanced at a tall man behind him, the tall man nodded, took two steps back, and rushed forward.
"Bang dang!"
The door was slammed open, and almost at the same time, everyone, led by the fat man, rushed in with a loud shout, and we followed.
The ten or twenty men in the courtyard dressed in white cedar all stared straight at us, and there was not the slightest difference or fear.
This time the fat man was also stunned, thinking that after rushing in, it would be a game of "cat and mouse", so they had to scream or dodge a few times! Who knew that the other party would not cooperate.
After the two sides looked at each other for half a minute, what I never expected was that more than a dozen men in filial piety shirts instantly showed their hideous faces, and then pounced towards us with their teeth and claws.
What's going on?
The fat man and the others were obviously unexpected, and slowly retreated to the gate.
"You ...... What do you do? Don't you know that arrest is a crime on top of a crime? ”
However, it was as if they couldn't hear, and not only that, but I also noticed that everyone's eyes were gradually turning blood-red.
