Chapter 121: The Qingwei faction begs for rain
"Nope! I have my world, and in two years, we'll meet again, trust me! β
Zhang Shan rejected me directly. I looked into her gaze and felt that this woman was so strange and distant. Although she is still Zhang Shan, she is no longer the same person as the entrepreneur in Mengcheng, Anhui Province.
With the soul of Suzaku, her temperament has changed drastically, and now she feels that she is the Suzaku of the underground, a member of the Suzaku family that brought light to the underground world. And ruling the underworld is her first priority, because she has the soul of Suzaku.
I don't know if it was right or wrong to replenish her soul at that time.
Now she is strong enough to control the entire underground world, which is 700,000 square kilometers!
The underworld has four poles, and the place is supported by four basalts, each with a huge black stone pillar covered with runes on its back. These are the four support points of the underground space, and I don't know which era it is, which big deal made a big deal.
And Zhang Shan is now the uncrowned king of the underground world. There are many of her people here, that is, in addition to the hundreds of 'servants', there are also a strange number of various exotic beasts and strange-shaped indigenous underground people.
"If you have the opportunity, you will bring me your son, and I will raise a new king, and let him inherit this great inheritance in the future."
Zhang Shan glanced at me after saying and left, without looking back. She walked up to her people, raised her hand, and the various beasts and people who sat on the ground resting, and cheered aloud. For a time, the sky over the entire village was filled with all kinds of shouts and howls.
It seems that she is a successful leader and a king who is loved by all peoples. Watch her ride on the poor beast and gradually move away. My mood was also lost.
She asked me to bring my son, who was only four years old and didn't understand anything. If brought here, will she be able to take care of it? Thinking that my son will learn to drink Maoru's blood in the future, my back is cold.
The son of the patriarch of the servant clan next to him came over and said, let's go! I'll take you to the exit.
On the way, I learned that his name is 'δΈ£', just one word, no surname and no generation. 'δΈ£' and 'ι ' have the same sound. He said that if he had to ask him what his surname was, he could call him 'Li Pi', because he was the 'Jiuli tribe' in the 'Jiuli Tribal Alliance', and the 'Jiuli tribe' was surnamed Li.
The 'Jiuli Tribal Alliance' has eighty-one chiefs, and Chiyou is the big chief. And Chiyou also has eight brothers, so it is called 'Jiuli Clan', and Chiyou's real name is 'Li Greed'. In this way, Li Cheng is a descendant of Chiyou?
Unexpectedly, the 'Servant Race', who has lived underground for hundreds of years, turned out to be the descendants of Chiyou. This is a nation with explosive combat effectiveness. 'Chiyou' was originally a kind of Gu worm that lived in the stomach of people, and it was also the totem idol of the Jiuli clan.
At that time, the 'Yellow Emperor' united with the 'Yandi' tribe and fought with 'Chiyou' in Zhuolu, which is now the southern suburbs of Zhuolu in Hebei.
It is said that Chi You rode a giant panda during the battle, and was able to call the wind and rain, creating a fog that disoriented the Yellow Emperor's army and thus unable to defeat him.
Later, the Yellow Emperor invented the guide car, which could identify the direction in the fog, and only then did he defeat and kill Chiyou. After Chiyou died in battle, he ascended to heaven as a 'star'.
And 'calling for wind and rain and generating fog' is not exactly the Tianxin faction's 'clouds and rain'?
After walking for another two days, we came to a dark waterhole at the foot of the mountain to the southeast. Li Pi said that this is where the 'servants' came in hundreds of years ago.
He said that this waterhole is connected to the Jinsha River, which is now being built with a dam to store water for power generation. The county town as a whole has been relocated to the mountains, and now the dam has not been completed, and the river is very shallow.
The county seat he said is called Suijiang County, and the entire Suijiang county has been relocated to the mountains, and now there are many new residential areas on the mountains. The old county seat has been demolished and will be flooded in the future, and the Suijiang River belongs to Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, separated from Sichuan Province by the Jinsha River.
Now the Jinsha River is building a power station dam, and there is no water storage, and when the water is stored, the water is 100 meters deep, and this outlet will be submerged.
After saying goodbye to Li Cheng, I put the spirit bodies of the stone rune and several of his junior disciples into the rune paper, and rode the black unicorn with my uncle Chenghuangye. The black unicorn has a water-repellent function, so I use it to open the way.
Descending to the deep pool, the black unicorn emitted a green light around its body, and it swam forward for dozens of meters before finding a hole. The hole was knee-deep and walked ten kilometers before it came to the exit.
It was night outside, and the sky was pitch black and there were no stars. The black unicorn stepped on the waves and ran towards the shore. It is a small mountain village called Shizhugang, with only a few scattered houses, and there is a provincial road in front of the small village.
I heard the rooster crow in the village, and it was almost dawn. The black unicorn got into my palm, and I was put into the jade bottle by my uncle, and the rest was to go back to Jiangxi.
I spent a long time in the darkness when I finally heard someone call me. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the brown sugar girl. She saw that I was really awake, and she looked around with her eyes to make sure that I was really awake.
Brown Sugar helped me up and saw a group of people standing outside the door. Jiang Ming, the fat man, my master, a large group of my uncles, my parents, and the four children pulled by my parents.
Everyone was staring at me as if I had no clothes on. The brown sugar girl next to me gently patted me with her hand, and I grabbed it, and I couldn't shake it off after struggling desperately, and then her face was flushed.
Two older children yelled 'Daddy'! He rushed over and climbed into my bed. My son sat on my lap and said Dad, you finally woke up, and Mom said you have been asleep for half a year, and you should wake up.
My daughter came and took my hand and said Daddy, let's go out. I touched their faces, and they were chubby, delicate and smooth, and their eyes were big and bright.
At the door, Jiang Ming left with the masters and uncles, and went to the living room on the first floor to drink tea, leaving the space for me and my family.
The niece held her little daughter and pulled her little son over. The youngest son had to climb into bed, but he was too small to climb up. The eldest brother and sister helped pull him up, and he also sat on my lap, saying that my mother usually doesn't let me come to play with my father, but today my father woke up, so he will play with us.
The little mouth is so sweet!
Looking back at the brown sugar girl, I saw that her eyes were red, she wiped away her tears, and asked me to accompany the child, and she went to get porridge for me to drink. Watching her leave, the niece handed over the youngest daughter again.
I picked up my little daughter, she had just learned to walk, she didn't recognize people very well, and looked at me cutely. But the youngest daughter is most like a brown sugar girl, the eyebrows, eyes, and face are all like a copy.
It was very sunny outside, and I tried to get out of bed, put my feet on my slippers, and slowly feel the feeling of being grounded. I haven't walked for half a year, and I'm still a little dizzy when I stand up. Or maybe it's the sequelae of the yang god out of the body, and the soul and body have not yet fitted.
Slowly stood up and walked to the door, followed by a group of little kids. My niece brought me a cup of cold boiling, and I took it and said thank you. The voice is hoarse, and the vocal cords are a little atrophied.
I asked my niece, are you having fun at the Taoist temple? She said that it was okay, and she went to play in a group with her sisters and brothers every month, so she was happy!
When asked how she was doing, she said that she had passed on all her dreams, but she felt that she didn't have Huigen, so her progress was slow.
I said don't worry, this Taoist technique, which pays attention to chance, must be practiced more, and you don't have the foundation, so the things you can accept are limited.
The niece has never been exposed to Taoism, although the dream has passed on the theory, but the cultivation depends on the individual. It is impossible for the master to pass on his life's skills to her.
Brown Sugar Girl brought a bowl of egg and lean porridge, I drank it in one gulp, and then went downstairs to find the master.
A group of children ran behind, and I followed the hallway to the staircase, step by step. The children in the back were laughing, and Yongan shouted, saying that Dad learned Yongping to go down the stairs! Yonghui pointed at me right behind and laughed.
The youngest son, Yongping, is more than three years old, and when he goes down the stairs, he is holding on to the handrail one by one, and he is not as flexible as the eldest brother and sister, and he is always laughed at.
I recited the mantra for piercing through the wall, and in an instant I vanished and appeared in the living room. Ah! The living room was full of people, all drinking tea and chatting.
Say hello to the master, and then to the uncles, and then nod to Jiang Ming and the fat man, and I will find a place to sit down. I took the tea handed over by the fat man, blew it, and drank it.
The tea slowly travels down the esophagus to the stomach, and then the sweet and bitter taste spreads from the stomach to the whole body. It's so comfortable!
A few children came at this time, looking for their father everywhere, saying that his father was gone. The niece coaxed the children to the yard to play in the mud and sand, and the living room quieted down.
The master asked me how I felt, and I said that the spirit body was actually in a very good state, and that there was no physical constraint, and that my skills could be fully exerted.
Uncle Chenghuang has already told us about our experience, so everyone knows about it. Seeing that I didn't have anything to do, the master and uncle said goodbye and left. I sent them out and watched them go up the path and back to the Taoist temple.
The fat man next to me pulled me back and sat down again, and said Daheng, hurry up and tell us what the underworld is like!
Jiang Ming was also interested in listening, he had already found medicine to detoxify me, saying that what I had was made of yellow skin and hair was 'Soul Scattered'.
It turned out to be 'separated from the soul'? It is said that this kind of 'soul separation' refined with yellow skin and hair can make people's souls leave the body, and people become vegetative people.
That Fan Jiayang was really vicious, and the handful of yellow hair that he sprinkled on me during the fight turned out to be gone. This kind of burnt and smelly thing can be regarded as one of the hidden weapons!
I asked Jiang Ming how Fan Jiayang was. Jiang Ming said that if he was sent to the prison in Inner Mongolia, it would be impossible to come out in this life. I've been away for more than half a year, and now that the National Day has passed, I don't know what's going on in the sunny world.
While drinking tea, I told them what had happened in the underworld for the past six months.
Jiang Ming said, if that Yan Aaron hadn't died, next time we would have formed a group of flesh bodies and destroyed his entire family. The fat man said next to him, "Go together!" Let's go! You can't always leave me alone!
The fat man and Jiang Ming accompanied me for a day, and when they saw that I was fine, they dispersed. Everyone has a family, and they always have to work and eat!
In the evening, I found the master and released the master Shi Fu Daoren and his junior disciples, so that they could reunite with a group of old people. As for how to arrange it in the future, let them discuss this.
After recuperating in the Taoist temple for a month, Jiang Ming called and said that he had a task and had no money to take it, and asked me if I would participate.
What task? He said there had been an eight-month drought in the southwest, which had a great impact on the harvest. This time, the General Administration organized a group of capable people to go to the southwestern provinces to prepare for the secret opening of the altar and call for wind and rain.
And such a thing? I don't usually watch the news or mobile phone, so I don't know much about current affairs in China. Since it's people's livelihood, let's go! Try your best.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ming came over with his two junior brothers. I took my niece Su Yun and my sister Xiaolan here, and set off with me.
To enjoy the clouds and rain, you must give the Taoist priest the five thunder scriptures and the three caves and the five thunder scriptures of the three caves and the big cave scriptures before you can open the altar. Only Zhang Tianshi has taught the Great Cave Sutra, so only the Taoist priests who have given the first two Sutras can participate.
In addition to conferring Taoist priests, each sect also has its own secret method, and this one has to show its own magical powers. If you call for wind and rain, there are three schools in Taoism that can be said to be professional households.
It is the Shenxiao faction, the Tianxin faction, and the Qingwei faction, and these three factions are called the 'Leifa faction'. The Lei Fa sect was separated from the three sects of Fu Gong.
The Shenxiao faction focuses on the thunder method, but the talent has withered, and it is difficult to find the descendants of the Shenxiao faction in the north and south of the river. At present, there are two Taoist temples in Suzhou that belong to the Shenxiao School.
The Tianxin faction focuses on the clouds and rain. But it is basically lost, Huaxia is huge, and it is difficult to find the Taoist temple of the Tianxin faction. Maybe I'm the only descendant of the Tianxin faction.
The Qingwei faction was one of the Leifa factions that branched out from the three sects of Fu Zheng during the Southern Song Dynasty. Among the Leifa factions, the Qingwei faction is the most orthodox inheritance.
The next day we came to Zhaotong City in Yunnan. The General Investigation Bureau divided all the Taoist priests who had the ability to call the wind and rain, and each group of three people went to different prefecture-level cities to practice.
Jiang Ming and I are each in one group, and there is another group that is said to be from Xiaogan, Hubei, and we don't know each other. By the time we got to the ground, there were already people ready to open the altar.
This is a remote place between Daguan County and Yanjin County in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province, called Dousha Town. The high mountains and cliffs here, except for the relatively flat road, are left with slender terraced fields in the distance. Dousha Town used to be the ancient tea horse road since Chinese history, and it was a necessary place for the ancient southwest Silk Road.
What is the Ancient Tea Horse Road?
The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a transportation route formed by the tea and horse trade in the ancient interior and border areas of China, which is divided into Sichuan-Tibet and Yunnan-Tibet. The Ancient Tea Horse Road exists in southwest China, and is a non-governmental international trade route with caravans as the main means of transportation.
The Ancient Tea Horse Road is divided into Shaanxi-Gansu, Shaanxi-Kang-Tibet, and Yunnan-Tibet, connecting Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet, extending into Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and India, until it reaches the Red Sea coast of West Asia and East Africa.
We came to the Ancient Tea Horse Road on the edge of Dousha Town, where the mountains are towering, full of stone mountains and low shrubs. The trail has become a tourist attraction, and occasionally a few young people can be seen visiting.
There is a large platform of thousands of square meters, and below the platform is the deep Grand Canyon, and the canyon blows a cool breeze. The platform was converted into a parking lot, but there were no cars.
In addition to our two off-road vehicles that start with Cantonese, we only see a Toyota domineering from Hubei Province.
After parking the car and packing up our belongings, we followed the deep horseshoe prints of the ancient road and headed east. These trails have a big drop, and the soles of your feet are stone nests that have been smooth by the caravans for hundreds of years. On either side are bushes several meters high.
After walking a few hundred meters, I saw a platform of several hundred square meters. There was a middle-aged Taoist priest who was fiddling with the altar, and a young man and a woman who accompanied him looked back at us.
According to Jiang Ming's information, these three people should be from Xiaogan, Hubei, and they are the descendants of the Qing Hui faction. They were begging for rain, and we couldn't bother, so we found a shaded place and put our belongings down.
The ancestor of the Qing Hui faction was Huang Shunshen of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the text of the rune and the Dao Lei Law is mostly written by Huang Shunshen.
The works of Qingwei Taoism preserved in the "Orthodox Daozang", such as "Qingwei Yuan Descending Dafa", "Qingwei Shenlie Secret Law", "Qingwei Zhai Method", "Qingwei Dan Law", "Qingwei Xuanshu Recital Ceremony", etc., are all from the hands of Huang Shunshen and his disciples.
This middle-aged Taoist chief has a majestic appearance, wearing a yellow Taoist uniform and a square hat. He took out a book of the Zhai Jiao ritual scriptures and put it on the altar, and washed his hands in the clean basin beside him.
The two young men and women lit incense and candles and burned yellow paper. The middle-aged Taoist leader picked up a piece of yellow table paper with cinnabar characters written on it and read out the prayer for rain on it. After reciting the scriptures, put it on a candle and light it.
At this time, the sky began to darken, and dark clouds obscured the sun.
My two junior sisters, as well as Jiang Ming's two junior brothers, both looked up at the dark clouds in the sky in surprise. Jiang Ming tossed a cigarette over, I lit it, took a deep breath and spit it out.
The middle-aged Taoist priest picked up the Sanqing bell in his left hand and the peachwood sword in his right hand, and began to recite the prayer for rain scriptures in a circle around the altar. I saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and there was a posture of mountain rain coming, and the wind was rising.
We hurriedly took out our umbrellas and stretched them out. The wind was getting stronger, the sky was cloudy, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
The middle-aged Taoist priest pointed his sword to the sky and recited the incantation.
"Five emperors and five dragons, descending light and wind, spreading and moistening, assisting Lei Gong. , the water is the most dynasty. The rune commanded you, and Chang Chuan obeyed. Those who dare to violate it will not be tolerated by the thunder axe. Haste as a law. β
There was a 'boom', and the thunder became more pronounced. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed, and it rained heavily.
