Chapter 337: The Immortal Shows the Way
When the two so-called immortals appeared, this time Huang Chengzhi's master knelt down directly. Kneeling is called a crisp, not only kneeling, but also kowtowing, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
The two mysterious people asked Huang Chengzhi's master to get up and asked him, why has the porcelain coffin not burned out after so long?
Huang Chengzhi's master had to tell the truth, because he wasn't sure if the events of that night were real, and now he was sure, but he also had to be sure if the two immortals were going to burn the porcelain coffin.
After getting a positive answer, Huang Chengzhi's master looked embarrassed, he said that he couldn't do it, he didn't have the skills, besides, no one would burn the porcelain coffin, no technology, no words, and no conditions, or burn two Yongle blue and white flowers for the two of you?
When Huang Lecheng said this, everyone who was originally nervous was almost amused, and they forgot about the current situation.
Wei Chiran leaned against the porcelain coffin and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, your ancestors are really poor enough." ”
Huang Lecheng hurriedly said: "No, that sentence was added by myself, anyway, that's what it means, as a result, the immortals said no, they have to ask for a porcelain coffin, if they do it, then Huang Chengzhi's master will become an immortal, just like them." ”
After the two so-called immortals finished speaking, they told him that if he didn't do it, he would not be able to avoid the disaster.
Who knows, it didn't take long for Huang Chengzhi to happen and he was thrown into prison with his master.
In prison, Huang Chengzhi's master informed the immortals, and Huang Chengzhi also saw the two so-called immortals that night, plus the previous master's story, Huang Chengzhi was convinced, but the difference between Huang Chengzhi and his master is that as long as he agrees, he has to do it no matter what, and in addition, he likes to get to the bottom of it.
Huang Chengzhi later asked the immortals, why did they burn porcelain coffins? So what does the porcelain coffin do? Is this used to become immortals? He even thought, is it something like an immortal sitting in a sedan chair?
Immortals, especially the immortals in Taoism, before Buddhism entered, what dragons and deer they rode were called sedan chairs, and later they were called mounts, but the title of sedan chairs was still retained, after all, there were immortals who flew with imperial swords, and some immortals were stepping on Ruyi, or even clouds, which were all regarded as a kind of sedan chair.
The immortal didn't explain so clearly to Huang Chengzhi, but just told Huang Chengzhi that what he guessed was eight or nine, they needed a porcelain coffin, and if there was no porcelain coffin, they would not be able to leave this place, and promised to provide conditions for Huang Chengzhi, as long as he fired successfully, sooner or later, they would come back and help Huang Chengzhi become an immortal.
When Huang Lecheng said this, Wei Chiran said "Huh".
Xie Meng asked, "Wei Chiran, what did you think of?" ”
Wei Chiran touched his broken wrist and said, "Those two people said something like a sedan chair, can it be understood as a means of transportation?" ”
Hou Wandao: "If it's a means of transportation, then what is the building outside?" Cover people's eyes? ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Mr. Huang, did they really tell your ancestors that they couldn't leave this place if they didn't have a porcelain coffin?" ”
Huang Lecheng said: "It's true, the ancestors passed it down like this, and the firing process is very complicated, the reason why it is complicated is not only because it is troublesome to fire this kind of large porcelain coffin, but more importantly, to add a thing they want to the porcelain coffin, that is, those very fine filaments in the porcelain coffin." ”
Everyone immediately understood that it was the filaments they had seen before.
In the process of Huang Chengzhi's firing, the fiber filament was added according to the method of the two so-called immortals, and the experiments were repeated many times, and finally it was a success.
Although Huang Chengzhi did not become an immortal, he made great progress in his craft, and later became a famous porcelain artist.
Huang Lecheng said: "This story, our Huang family has been passed down from generation to generation, passed on to my generation, we are four brothers, my father chose me to inherit his mantle, because only I like it, after I kowtowed in front of the portrait of my grandfather, my father gave me the information of the family heirloom, let me read it well, and at the same time, I also told me the story, to be honest, the first time I heard the story, I thought, it's too bizarre, impossible, and I am also a staunch atheist." ”
I did hear my father Lian Jiuqi say before, saying that Huang Lecheng was really an atheist before inheriting the family craft, but then he began to change, as for how it changed, Huang Lecheng didn't say.
Huang Lecheng got the ancestral information from his father, which in more understandable terms, is the secret book of firing porcelain. Because he had studied with his father in his early years, he was very surprised after reading these secret books, because they recorded not only the secret methods of firing porcelain in the official kilns in the past, but also many unheard of ways, such as adding other things to the firing process.
Where else might something else be added to fired porcelain? Under the high temperature, either it will crack, or there will be other conditions, but when Huang Lecheng tried to do that, he found that it was really feasible, and the method was very different, and it had nothing to do with the traditional firing method, and it could not be related.
Huang Lecheng asked his father, did his ancestors learn these from the so-called immortals?
The father admitted it and said that these must not be known to outsiders, because the ancestors said that the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and there is no telling when, this immortal will come back, and the descendants of the Huang family may still become immortals.
At that time, Huang Lecheng was skeptical, but he was just focused on learning the cheats, and he didn't care about the immortals.
But what Huang Lecheng didn't expect was that soon after, he met the immortals.
Huang Lecheng met an immortal without any signs, just like Huang Chengzhi's master met an immortal back then-
One day, Huang Lecheng took a nap at home, it was summer, and it was hot at noon, so he picked a cool hall and lay directly on the chair, originally planning to read a book and sleep for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep within half a second.
And soon after falling asleep, he dreamed that he found himself lying in a smoky lake, with water under his feet, but the water did not stick to his shoes, and the sandals floated on the water, and what was even more amazing was that the dream was so clear that it was as if he had moved from the hall of his home to another place in an instant.
Huang Lecheng got up and looked around, very dazed, he didn't know what was going on, he subconsciously slapped himself, this slap went on, he really felt pain.
If this is a dream, who can control their actions in the dream? Sometimes you can even think of a dream as a story or script that has already been written, and you are just playing a role in it, and you don't have the right to take the lead. But Huang Lecheng can clearly control his behavior.
Just when Huang Lecheng didn't understand what was going on, the water in front of him suddenly surged, gushing out two fountains, and then the fountain turned into a human form, and made a sound, directly telling Huang Lecheng that the two of them were the immortals that Huang Lecheng's ancestors met back then, and the purpose of coming back this time was to fulfill the promise of the year and cross Huang Lecheng to become an immortal.
Huang Lecheng was stunned, but he still didn't believe it, after all, he was a modern person, completely different from his ancestor Huang Chengzhi at that time, although he couldn't explain what was in front of him, but he still needed these two so-called immortals to prove it.
The two immortals said two things, first, Huang Lecheng would get an illness and do a minor operation; Second, Huang Lecheng's fiancée will tear up the marriage contract and leave Jingdezhen with others for Shanghai.
After speaking, Huang Lecheng woke up, he found that he was still in the hall, he was the same as his ancestor Huang Chengzhi, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, I don't know what was going on.
But at that time, Huang Lecheng's father had passed away, and he couldn't find anyone to say about it, so he could only write it in his diary as a strange dream.
However, it didn't take long for Huang Lecheng to really get sick, it was cholecystitis, he went to the hospital for a minor operation to cut the gallbladder, and during the hospitalization, his fiancée did not come to see him, he thought in his heart that he had really seen the immortal in his dream? Are the prophecies of the immortals right?
During Huang Lecheng's hospitalization, his fiancée never came, as if the world had evaporated, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he immediately went to his fiancée's house, and the future father-in-law and mother-in-law apologized to him, saying that the girl in his family was ignorant and did not want to stay in this small place, so he eloped with his college classmate, a man, to Shanghai.
Hearing this, Huang Lecheng not only did not feel sad, but laughed and left with a smile, at that moment, his fiancée's parents thought that he was stimulated and went crazy directly.
After Huang Lecheng returned home, he put incense on the portrait of his ancestors and kowtowed, saying that if there were really immortals, he would show up and see him again.
It's strange to say, the moment he kowtowed down and looked up again, the situation in the room changed, the portrait was still there, just hanging in the air, the surrounding tables, chairs, benches, incense burners, tribute platforms and everything were gone, only the painting and the futon under Huang Lecheng's knees were left.
The surroundings were still the same as last time, and there was smoke.
And the two so-called immortals, this time they just formed a human form with smoke and came out to see Huang Lecheng.
Huang Lecheng was convinced this time, and completely believed in the existence of immortals.
The fairy told Huang Lecheng that the reason why they came back to pick him up was mainly because of the promise they made back then, they didn't expect that this time would be hundreds of years, and, most importantly, they knew that Huang Lecheng was going to have an accident, so they decided to take him to become an immortal before he had an accident.
Huang Lecheng pondered, since the immortals all said that they were going to die, it was better to go with the immortals, in case he died, he didn't go to heaven, but went to hell, wouldn't it be over? So, say yes in one bite.
And the two so-called immortals told him that there was a necessary hard condition, that is, he must burn a porcelain coffin for himself, and the ways and methods left by his ancestors were clearly written in the secret books, give him half a year, let him burn the porcelain coffin, handle the aftermath, and come to pick him up when the time comes.
Huang Lecheng said this, looked at the torture and said: "After that, I think you also know, I don't have any friends, so I have an unusual relationship with your father, so I called your two fathers and sons, who knows how your father doesn't believe it, it doesn't matter, I think, I have to leave whether you believe it or not, but, I didn't expect the accident to come so suddenly." ”
Wei Chiran, who was not far away, asked, "Mr. Huang, do you remember how you died?" ”
Huang Lecheng said: "I remembered it just now, I remember that something hit my head, and then, I just seemed to be standing next to me and watching, yes, it's like an out-of-body soul, no, that's an out-of-body soul, I saw it very clearly, someone found out that I was stoned to death, and then called the police, the police came, investigated the scene or something, and after that, my consciousness became blurred, and I didn't remember anything until I woke up just now." ”
Wei Chiran just nodded, but he was thinking about something else in his heart, he was very concerned, why did the first transparent person obviously hit him, but he stopped? Why?
In addition, whether it is Huang Chengzhi's master, Huang Chengzhi himself, or Huang Lecheng, he always feels a little familiar with the process of seeing the immortals, but he can't say where this familiarity comes from.
