Chapter 4: The Charm of the Spirit
Grandpa's words were like a shovel that frantically dug into the fortress of atheism that I had been holding on to for more than 20 years, so much so that I couldn't calm down for a long time after watching the video. Putting down my phone, I took out the books my grandfather had left me from under my pillow, and looked at the three big words on it, and the last bit of doubt on my mental face also dissipated. Letting go of those worries in my heart, I slowly opened the Celestial Master Record in my hand and looked at the contents on it very carefully.
This time, the content I read is called the Ghost and Spirits chapter, which is a description of the ghosts and ghosts that the Heavenly Masters have surrendered in the past generations and the methods they used in the Celestial Master Record. After completely letting go of the mustard in my heart, I found it very easy to read these books, and I did not forget to remember them.
It is not a general term for all ghosts, in addition to the records in the book, it is not excluded that there are some ghosts that have not yet been discovered, and there are no wonders in the world, which is not impossible. The most ghostly ghosts described in the book are ghosts, and most of the ghosts have three possibilities for the formation of ghosts.
The first is the person who dies horizontally, that is, most of them die in accidents or murder, because it is not a normal yang life exhaustion and death, so this kind of person will have great resentment after death, so the human soul in the three souls will be corroded by this resentment, so that he is unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate, but stay in the world and become a lonely soul and a wild ghost. However, if this kind of lonely soul and wild ghost harms people and absorbs the essence of people, it will become a demon, and so on, after absorbing the essence of enough people, it will become a red-clothed ghost. It is also mentioned again and again in the book, well, if the strength does not meet the red-clothed ghost in time, then one word, run!
And the second type is that there are too many people who die, and the bodies are discarded in one place after death, forming a mass grave. This has not happened before. For example, Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State in the Battle of Changping, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, killed more than 200,000 prisoners of the Qin State in one night, and there was a large-scale battle during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression that caused tens of millions of deaths, and it was impossible to bury every deceased properly with such a large-scale death, and in most cases all the corpses were buried in a huge pit, which also formed a mass grave.
If this kind of mass grave is located in a place with better feng shui, it may not have any problems, and at most it will form a few little ghosts to make trouble, and if it is a little bit of a trivial person, it can be easily solved. But if it is in the place of extreme yin, it is very likely to form a geodemon hole, where the local resentment is almost several times or dozens of times that of the outside, and the resentful spirits formed in this place can directly turn into red-clothed ghosts, and their ferocity is far greater than that of ordinary ghosts.
And then the third type is different from the above two, most of the above two are formed by the accumulation of resentment, which can also be said to be a natural formation.
The third type is artificial, according to the book, the ghosts of people who have just died are directly created into the level of ghosts, and the method required is to take the living to bear the cruel punishment, and then poison them to death with all kinds of poisons. Immediately after that, the corpse of the deceased is put into a red dress and placed in a pre-prepared magic circle, most of which are taken by women, and even pregnant women, it only takes seven days to form a red-clothed ghost, and the degree of fierce ghost meal turned into in this way is far greater than the previous two.
This kind of refining red-clothed ghosts with living people began in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, legend has it that Master Xuanzang went to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, and on the way back, he passed by the Tongtian River and was placed by the turtle spirit, and part of the true scriptures were lost in the process. Later, the lost part of the true scriptures were lost to the people, and in this way, a very powerful technique was slowly formed.
Among them, the most famous is the head-lowering technique, which is also good and evil, and a good head-lowering master can cure the disease and save people, and seek good fortune and avoid evil. And the head lowering master who has a bad heart will use the head lowering technique to cause trouble everywhere and the people to seek benefits from it. This head-lowering technique was introduced to China from abroad, and after several generations of polishing in China, there were also some appalling techniques, such as this method of refining powerful ghosts with living people, which belongs to the head-lowering technique, and it is also the most widely spread evil art in the land of China.
It is said that at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a very famous head reduction master, and at the same time, this head reduction master was also the only black-clothed shaman in history who was favored by Genghis Khan.
Legend has it that when Genghis Khan was young, he led his army to fight everywhere and caused so many murders that in his later years, he was haunted by grievances and was about to run to Huangquan Road, when a shaman dressed in black appeared and quickly helped him free himself from the pain of being haunted by his souls. Later, Genghis Khan learned from the shaman that he was originally a head-lowering master, and he was very famous in the Jiangnan area, but when everyone mentioned the head-lowering technique, they thought of some cruel and bloody methods.
Later, he was forced to enter the far north, which is now the Mongolian Plateau. There he joined shamanism and became a shaman. After several years of repeated study, he finally combined the head-lowering technique with shamanic witchcraft, but because shamanism was strictly regulated, and what he practiced was not pure shamanic witchcraft, he could not obtain the title of white-clothed shaman, so he put on black clothes and became the first black-clothed shaman in shamanism.
It is also since Genghis Khan solved the problem of haunting souls, the black-clothed shaman is like evaporating from the world, and since then, the number of head descenders has quickly shrunk sharply in China, and at the same time, there are also shamanic shamans who have decreased, although people don't know why this happens, but they will also record this story. It is also because of this that it has given Maoshan Technique and Daomen Daoshu the space for the rapid development of Taoism.
Although these forces such as Maoshan and Daomen grew wildly and rapidly during that period, there was always a force hidden in their heads that made them feel like a bull roaring when they said their names, and that was our Heavenly Master's Mansion. Although there are only two Heavenly Masters in each session, and there are no extra disciples. But the prestige of the Heavenly Master still reverberates in every inch of China.
These contents are recorded in detail in the Celestial Master Record, and I watched it with relish, and unconsciously spent an afternoon in the dormitory, uh, during this period of time, I have read almost all the contents of the Ghost and Soul chapter, and I have almost memorized most of it, but at the end I left this sentence: I would rather fight with the zombie than haunt the ghost. Looking at this sentence in the clouds, I couldn't figure it out for a while, and then I felt a rumbling sound in my stomach before I reacted that I was hungry, and when I saw that the time was almost seven o'clock, I also shook my head helplessly Who made this book have such a big magic, I couldn't stop when I saw it.
Anyway, put away the book in his hand, turned around and looked at Yang Dali below, he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it. This guy is still the same as noon, just in that seat for a day of League of Legends, scolding and scolding while beating back, he looks quite energetic, it really makes me drunk.
