Chapter 16: The Three Heavenly Coffins
The Liujiadian Brigade is the largest brigade in the Playground River Commune, with more than 200 registered laborers, and the brick kiln is a big project, and it used forty percent of the labor force to participate in it at once, and as a result, there is no one left to lie down, and the whole brigade is panicked, basically all production plans have been suspended, and they are waiting for further instructions from their superiors.
Walking to the entrance of the village, Zhang Guozhong secretly leaned into Captain Liu's ear: "Just say that my master is an old Chinese medicine doctor invited, okay?" ”
"Medium! Middle! If you two can come, it is the benefactor of my old Liu family, the benefactor of our village, saying that it is my father! ”…
At this time, the test results in the city were also delivered, and the living samples from the patient did not contain any suspicious germs, and the samples had been sent to Beijing for further testing.
The medical team from the city asked the villagers to use a simple fence to enclose a circle not far from the village, even if it was a quarantine zone, and the militia stood guard around it, and the isolation could not be lifted until the results of the appraisal by the higher authorities confirmed that it was not an infectious disease.
Sitting in front of those grinning patients, Ma Zhenren frowned.
"Master, are you sick?"
Ma Zhenren shook his head.
"What did that get it?"
Ma Zhenren continued to shake his head, Zhang Guozhong was also confused, could it be that there are other things in this world besides great immortals and bacteria?
"Captain Liu, take us to see that grave..." At this point, the crux of the matter is no longer the patient, but the ancient tomb.
In the evening, Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong were led out of the fence by Captain Liu from the other side of the isolation zone (the militia who watched the isolation zone did not let them go, and the young man who was beaten by Captain Liu's two big-eared scrapers had gold stars in his eyes, and he obediently let him go without saying a word). Sneaked to the edge of the ancient tomb.
The scale of the tomb is not large, the tomb well is only 5 steps square, there are two tomb roads, all of which are dug in a mess, it seems that it is a husband and wife burial tomb, or two people are buried, one of the tomb roads is more unique, there is a "sitting coffin" inside, that is, the coffin where people are buried in a meditating posture.
"Follow me, don't touch anything!" Ma Zhenren and Zhang Guozhong went down to the tomb, first illuminated the ordinary coffin with a kerosene lamp, it seemed that there was nothing strange, and then the two came to the front of the coffin, and illuminated it with a lamp, only to see a line of words engraved on the coffin: Sitting in the coffin, rather than eternal.
Seeing this line of words, Ma Zhenren hurriedly took a few steps back, almost leaning against the cliff of the tomb. "This is the tomb, let's go!!"
Descending to the tomb is the tomb that has been descented.
When Zhang Guozhong heard this, his head was also sweating, and the lowering technique is what the common people often call "lowering the head". This thing is recorded in the "Maoshan Shuzhi".
Descending art originated in the late Song Dynasty, is a kind of magic that uses the special power of the five elements of yin and yang to mutilate the creatures that trigger certain necessary conditions, such as some witchcraft in Japan in later generations, with a hair and a straw man can kill people, it evolved from the descending technique.
The earliest descending technique evolved from the Maoshan technique, which was invented by a person named Luo Youchang, who was once the disciple of the Maoshan Sect at that time, and later because of the unauthorized use of the spells in the Maoshan Sect for personal gain or revenge for grievances, he was taught by the Maoshan Sect at that time, Lu Xiangling Lu Zhenren, and was expelled from the division after breaking his legs.
After Luo Youchang was expelled from the division, not only did he not repent, but he was full of resentment, and then passed on this resentment to everyone, and simply gave up the study of Maoshan Technique, and began to concentrate on some of the spells of Maoshan Technique as a harmful technique, and recruited people with unrighteous minds.
The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty that was extremely unconfident in its rule, and tried all kinds of ways to prevent rebellion in the Central Plains, among which the Yuan Dynasty government used a spell to suppress rebellion. Legend has it that Yuan Renzong loved to educate Li Bali Bada, once recruited hundreds of teachers to descend in various state capitals, set up a hundred "descending platforms", listened to the folk complaints with the technique of "tailwind ear", and the people who were listened to all ended up festering all over the body, at that time, the common people around the country even reached the point of talking about the color change, and the folk song "Qingyang Song" once wrote: "The street pavilion has no intention of talking about the court, and the three watches died tragically in the moon dew house." This means that if you inadvertently say something dissatisfied with the court during the day, you will die tragically in a dilapidated house that leaks everywhere at night. It is precisely because of the support of the ruling class that the technique of descending has been unprecedentedly developed in the Yuan Dynasty, and a good "descending master" who uses the technique of descending can get 35 taels of silver per month, which is an absolute high income at that time.
However, not everyone can use the technique as pure as fire, the technique is a kind of spell against the sky, every time it is cast, it will break the longevity of the sun once, most of the descendants are only forty years old and will die without illness, and eventually it also led to the loss of the descending technique, to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much left of the real sense of the descending division, out of the psychology of dying for money, there is no one who can easily not shoot two silver, but even if it has reached the decline of the descending technique, any entry-level descending technique, it is enough to torture a normal person.
Ma Zhenren sat on the edge of the tomb and pondered for a long time, his expression stiff as a sculpture. Zhang Guozhong didn't dare to speak, for fear of interrupting his master's thinking. "Sir, can my son still be saved?" "Shhhh Don't speak, my master thought..."
"I said why did the yellow flagpole break...," Ma Zhenren muttered, "Is there a map?" Ma Zhenren looked at Captain Liu.
"What map?" Any words of Ma Zhenren are Captain Liu's lifesaver at this moment.
"It's the map here, the more detailed the better."
"Yes! Yes! I'll have someone find it for you! After that, Captain Liu trotted back to the edge of the isolation zone, and after a few big-eared scrapers, a militiaman obediently trotted back to the village.
After about two bags of cigarettes, a militia boy with a gun on his back came with a map of Tianjin, which had just been removed from the wall of the brigade headquarters, and the four corners were still hung with wall skins.
The map was spread on the ground, with the help of oil lamps, Ma Zhenren found the location of the tomb of Zhao Le in the Ming Dynasty and the location of the tomb in front of the eye, compared the distance with the cigarette bag pole, and took the two tombs as two fixed points, determined an equilateral triangle on the left and right, and crushed two pieces of black at the apex of the two triangles on the left and right with soot.
"Captain Liu, you take people to this place." Ma Zhenren pointed to the cigarette ash on the left, "Look for me within a radius of three miles, and if you find a tombstone or a grave mound, come and tell me, don't move, my apprentice and I will go here to find it, and you send a few people to follow me." ”
"Yes, medium!"
"Also, if you really don't, tell me, even if there is one that looks like a grave, tell me, remember, you must not dig yourself!"
"Medium!"
The next day, the surplus labor force in the village was all gone, and Captain Liu and Ma Zhenren's apprentices divided into two roads, and each set off to Ma Zhenren's two triangular vertices marked on the map.
Zhang Guozhong learned that although the descending technique originated from the Maoshan technique, there is a set of relatively independent theories, and there is also the saying that the tomb bureau of the Maoshan technique is mostly to prevent the ghost of the deceased from dispersing, prevent the corpse from changing, or imprison the soul to prevent it from harming the township, and the tomb function in the surrender technique is only one, that is, anti-theft. At present, this tomb bureau is actually the three evil bureaus in the descending technique, the so-called three evil bureaus, which are composed of three tombs, each tomb has two coffins, one of which holds the real tomb owner, called the "heavenly coffin"; One is to put the living person into a sitting coffin and bury it next to the main coffin, which is called "sitting sha", and use this grievance to protect the tomb. In the descent, "black clouds, red fire, and clear water" is the theoretical basis for casting, which is equivalent to "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" in Maoshan or Yishu, and what the Liujiadian brigade dug up at this moment is the "black cloud bureau" in these three evil bureaus, and the nature among the villagers is also "black cloud falling". The blazing bureau that buried Zhao Le is the "Red Fire Bureau" in the descending technique, and the other "Qingshui" bureau will definitely form a complete Three Evil Circles with the first two tomb bureaus in an equilateral triangle arrangement, but as for how the Three Evil Situations are cast and what kind of principle they use to exert their effects, even Ma Zhenren is not very clear, after all, Ma Zhenren has not studied this evil crooked way in depth.
And that Zhao Le's tomb, it is very likely that there are also two coffins inside, thinking of this, Zhang Guozhong naturally understood, it turned out that Liu Chongde, the feng shui gentleman in the Ming Dynasty, was the successor of the descending technique, and the identity of Mr. Feng Shui was just a disguise.
