Chapter Twenty-Six: The Debt of a Hundred Years Ago
I handed Master a cigarette and asked, "Master, didn't you say that this corpse was buried by a person who died in the place where the corpse was raised, and this place where the corpse was raised must be on the dragon vein. Did it absorb the surrounding corpse qi and the dragon qi on the dragon veins? Could it be that there is a dragon vein in the mass grave in the back mountain? ”
Master lit a cigarette and shook his head: "The feng shui of the mass grave in the back mountain is not bad, and there was indeed a dragon vein hundreds of years ago. But later, the mountain was opened and the road was built, and a good dragon vein was destroyed. . . ”
I looked at Master: Master, if you have a dragon vein, why would it become a mass grave? The master smiled: "Although the dragon vein is a dragon vein, it is not a real dragon vein, so it can only become a mass grave." That corpse is estimated to have also absorbed the corpse qi in the mass grave and the dragon qi in the dragon vein. ”
"Are there several types of dragon veins? Tell me, Master! "I poured Master a cup of tea, and then begged Master to tell me about the dragon vein.
Master took a sip of tea, nodded and said to me, "The dragon vein is the ultimate purpose of Feng Shui, just like when we go to the mountain sect to find immortality. However, finding the dragon vein is much easier than looking for immortality. As the saying goes, the branches of the dragon should be distinct. Don't weigh lightly among the branches. The secondary division is the body of the true dragon and the mountain of entanglement. Every true dragon will be entangled in many ways. There are many riches, and the secret protectors are expensive. But if you are in the cave under the entangled mountain, that is, the distortion of the dragon's breath, it is also very unlucky, recognize the real dragon, and then look at its Shuikou Dynasty case, Mingtang Dragon and Tiger, and determine the place of the knot. The power of the dragon is precious, and the demon is lively. Heavy ups and downs, bending the mystery, things drifting, fish jumping and kites flying, is for the birth of the dragon, and the burial is auspicious. If the veins are like thick and stubborn, and the otter is low, like dead wood and dead fish, it is a dead dragon, and if it is buried, it will be a great evil. Therefore, the dragon veins are also divided into strong dragons, weak dragons, fat dragons, dragons, shun dragons, reverse dragons, advanced dragons, retreating dragons, sick dragons, robbing dragons, killing dragons, real dragons, fake dragons, noble dragons, and cheap dragons. ”
Speaking of this, the master took the teacup and drank it all: "Actually, we don't know much about feng shui at the mountain party, because we don't need it at all. However, it is still a breeze to know a few dragon veins. Our mass grave in the back mountain was originally a true dragon vein a hundred years ago, and now it has become a dead dragon vein. ”
I asked, "Master, what happened a hundred years ago?" How can a real dragon vein become a fake dragon vein? ”
The master leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh, and then said, "A hundred years ago, the corrupt feudal rule and heavy exploitation of the Qing Dynasty government led to the intensification of class contradictions. In particular, after the Opium War, the Qing government stepped up its looting of the people in order to pay war reparations. Ruling is more corrupt. Corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry also took the opportunity to extort the people. The toiling masses who could not bear the suffering revolted one after another, thus breaking out the historical Taiping Rebellion. Although the Qing government was mediocre at the time, it quickly organized Qing troops to fight against the Taipings. After several bloody battles, the Taiping army was almost completely annihilated. And the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan fled with the remnants of his defeated generals to avoid the pursuit of the Qing government. At that time, there was a Taiping army general named Yanwang who took hundreds of Taiping troops to hide with us, occupied the back mountain and set up camp. Legend has it that the king of geese was three meters tall, with a big waist and a round waist, and was as powerful as an ox. His weapon is a dragon's head knife, which can be described as a god-like existence on the battlefield. ”
I couldn't help but exclaim: "Since the Taiping Army has such a fierce general, why would it be defeated?" What happened to the Wild Goose King? Master glared at me: "Don't interrupt, listen to me first!" I hurriedly covered my mouth and waited for Master to continue.
Master took out a cigarette and handed it to me, and lit one himself. Then he continued: "The reason why the Taiping army was defeated was entirely because their Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was ineffective in commanding, and the soldiers under his command were all rabble. No matter how many people there are, they can't defeat the orderly Qing soldiers! Besides, the Qing soldiers already had muskets and cannons at that time. And the weapons of the Taiping army are still all broadswords and spears. How can the Taiping army be undefeated? I nodded, "Yes!" In the face of advanced musket cannons, no matter how powerful the sword is, it is useless. ”
Master glanced at me and continued: "At that time, the wild goose king fled to us with the remnants of his defeated army, and then occupied the back mountain. Attempt to continue the confrontation with the Qing soldiers. Unexpectedly, in order to invite merit from the Qing court, the patriarch of the village at that time sent someone to secretly inform Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Hunan army. Zeng Guofan, who was worried that he couldn't find the Taiping Army, was overjoyed, so he personally led tens of thousands of Hunan soldiers and horses to surround our town. The remnants of the Taiping army hiding on the mountain saw that they could not escape, so they rushed down the mountain under the leadership of the wild goose king and defeated the Qing soldiers who attacked the mountain.
Due to the dangerous terrain of the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Hunan army, was also very troubled at that time, so he confronted the Taiping remnants on the mountain for nearly a month. Later, the patriarch of the village proposed a sinister idea to Zeng Guofan, that is, Zeng Guofan first pretended to withdraw the Hunan army attacking the mountain. Then the patriarch led several respected old men in the village to go up the mountain to meet the king of geese. never mentioned the affairs of the Hunan army, and deceived King Yan and several generals down the mountain on the grounds of condolences to the soldiers of the Taiping Army.
In the village, the patriarch put on a few tables of rich and delicious food, saying that he would pick up the wind and wash the dust for the king of the wild goose and others, but the king of the wild goose and others did not know that there was a deception, and there was a lack of food on the mountain. So I ate it boldly, but I didn't expect all the drugs in the wine and food. King Yan and the others were thrown to the ground on the spot, and they were captured alive by the hidden Hunan army on the spot.
And the Hunan army, which pretended to be withdrawn, also launched a fierce attack on the mountain, and because there was no command from the king of Yan, the Hunan army quickly attacked the mountain. Then there was a day and a night of slaughter. The entire mountain was covered with the corpses of the remnants of the Taiping army, and the blood stained the mountain red. After confirming that all the remnants of the Taiping army had been killed and that no one was left alive, the Hunan army set another fire on the mountain. The fire burned for three days and three nights.
In the barracks of the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan led people to escort King Yan and others to the mountain that had turned into scorched earth, intending to execute King Yan and others on the spot. Zeng Guofan had a strategist who was proficient in feng shui and said to Zeng Guofan: This mountain has the vein of a true dragon, and there will be a true dragon son here. Zeng Guofan was suddenly shocked: the Qing Dynasty has not exhausted its qi, how can there be another true dragon emperor. So Zeng asked the advisor what to do. After thinking about it, the strategist told Zeng Guofan to skin all the captured Yan Wang and others alive and bury them alive at the location of the dragon vein on the mountain, and use their grievances to dissipate the dragon qi in the dragon vein. Zeng Guofan ordered it to be done on the spot. ”
I looked at Master dumbfounded: "Huh? So many people are all skinned and buried alive? Then they must be angry! It's no wonder that the good True Dragon Vein has become a dead Dragon Vein. ”
Master sighed: "Yes! So it became a mass grave from then on, and the Qing Dynasty still collapsed. Therefore, it is very likely that the corpses that appeared in the mass grave were changed by the Taiping army who were killed here a hundred years ago. However, if we want to deal with it, we really can't deal with it with the two of us, and we can only set up a formation, maybe we can get rid of it. ”
I looked at Master: "Formation? The master nodded: "Yes, I have already calculated, tomorrow is the day of the three breaks, the day of the great murderer, and it is suitable for setting up a formation." You can go to the back mountain with me tomorrow! I nodded, "Okay!" I'll go tomorrow and see what that corpse looks like. ”
