Chapter Sixty-Eight: Washing Hands in the Golden Basin of the Ledger

Zhang Sanye is the old master in the tomb robbery line at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he hangs three talismans alone, and the giant mostly calls him Zhang Sanlianzi, his real name is unknown, even if he served in Kunlun Mountain, his body was in the official face, and he only used his real surname and buried his real name. (Read "Green")

  But Zhang Sanye's true name, even his disciples' families don't know much, why is this? Just because everything he has done in his life is a forbidden act, black and white are all familiar, and he also has his name in the green forest.

  Before the Republic of China, China was still an imperial system, if you committed a mortal crime, it was possible to punish the nine clans, one person committed a crime, his relatives and friends will be implicated, so the people in the green forest, have never used their real names, only by the name, nickname commensurate, even if some people are famous in the world, but until death only left a nickname in the world.

  Although Zhang Sanye has a lot of cases, he was rewarded by Emperor Xianfeng when he was young, and he is also skilled in the world, and he has made countless princes with rare antiquities obtained from the inverted fight, and the officials dare not touch him at all, so the party members under him are extremely numerous, and the family wealth is countless, and the heroes from all over the world are willing to make friends with him.

  At that time, the power of the group of thieves in Xieling was declining, and many people did not know that the third master was touching the gold school to comfort Zhang Sanlian, and although the thief at that time had a higher status, his reputation was far less than that of Zhang Sanye, so his move was bigger than the movement of the thief to withdraw the gang, and it was a grand event in the green forest at that time.

  Who doesn't want to open their eyes? And on the fifteenth day of June of the lunar calendar, sure enough, the guests were full of people, gathered together, and all the people who arrived were Jiangyang thieves, green forest ringing horses, tables and chairs were lined up from the main hall to the gate, and the sides of the corridor were also crowded with people, and many people of low generation could only stand on the side, and there was no place for people to sit.

  After arranging up to sit on the second generation, we must first open an incense hall, knock on the ancestor Wusheng Zhenjun, and start the incense ceremony. In fact, this is also a formality, but the common rites are inevitable after all, and they dare not slack off and despise, seeing that the moon in the sky is round, and the stars are almost out of the medicine, so please go out of the mountain thief to sit under the main hall of the gods, the master of ceremonies on both sides carried an incense burner in front of the hall, which inserted nineteen pillars of incense, the formation of incense is the first three and the last four, the left five and the right six, when the middle inserts a column of incense.

  After a gong and drum, the salute was imminent, and the underworld characters who watched the ceremony were suddenly silent, and at this time, Zhang Sanye came out and knelt in front of the thief. At that time, the green forest road was easy to enter, it was difficult to pull out the incense, ordinary people did not dare to pull out the incense, and the ordinary thieves wanted to wash their hands and did not do it, unless it was the father or wife and children who had a big incident, and the person in charge of the family had to go back, so he dared to mention the matter of washing his hands in the golden basin. Although Zhang Sanye's identity is different, it is still inevitable to have this set of cutscenes, first of all, he must state the reason for pulling incense in front of the thief. (Literature read "Green")

  Zhang Sanye first explained the reason for pulling out the incense and withdrawing from the gang, which is nothing more than saying that now he is riddled with old diseases, and his wife and children are implicated, it is difficult to do any more murderous acts.

  After hearing this, the thief hurriedly helped Zhang Sanye up, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the third brother for washing his hands in the golden basin, the flow of radical circulation is commendable." In the world, both black and white are in dire straits, and it is really not easy to survive until this day. ”

  So Zhang Sanye, accompanied by the thief, came to the front of the hall, stood by the incense burner, and recited the chanson: "The sky is full of stars, and the mountains are in the middle; has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and has been taken care of by many brothers; Today, the younger brother is leaving, and I am willing to ask the brothers to be more tolerant; The younger brother went back to support his mother, and he was still connected with the lives of his brothers; The soldiers came to report to the younger brother, and there was fire and water to pass the brother; There is loess below and there is heaven on it, and the younger brother and the brothers are in a thread; The iron hammer crushes the teeth and does not open, and the steel knife cuts the courage unchanged; The younger brother has a false saying, five lightning strikes are difficult to complete; I wish Kuixing to gather golden light, and the incense of Changsheng covers Kunlun, and it will be passed on forever for the way of heaven. ”

  No matter who pulls incense on the green forest road, they must read this eulogy, saying that their family has an old mother to support, which is the reason for taking "a hundred virtues and filial piety first", no matter what people are prevented from, even if there is a big excuse, it is impossible to stop people from doing filial piety. Although the third master has been lonely and has no father and mother since he was a child, he still has to recite the ode according to the original text, and it cannot be changed at all, and in the process of reciting the hymn, there can not be a word of error, nor can he stop halfway to think about the words, otherwise it will be regarded as guilty and ill-intentioned, and the surrounding thieves will immediately come forward and add up the knives and chop the praiser into meat sauce.

  There are 19 sentences in the whole eulogy, each sentence is recited, and a big stick of incense is pulled, and when Zhang Sanye's eulogy is finished, the incense in the furnace is also finished. At this time, the helmsman immediately clenched his fists and congratulated him: "The third brother is easy to go, when is you homesick, come back and drink a glass of water and wine." "This can be regarded as a ceremony, and from then on, Zhang Sanye has nothing to do with the secular affairs of Lulin Road. All around the crowd came forward to congratulate at the same time, firecrackers were set off outside the house, drums were playing, and the next person immediately opened the table.

  During the banquet, the group of thieves pushed the cup to change the lamp, and someone proposed: "Today is a big day for Zhang Sanye to pull out the incense and withdraw from the group, heroes from all walks of life gathered, and the banquet is full of wine and delicacies, so it is not happy, but there is nothing to drink, this is called binge drinking, it is difficult to have fun, our green forest road is mostly rude men, bearded husbands, and we can't follow the example of literati and ink writers to carry out the wine order, how is this good?" Boy courage, you may wish to ask all the masters to tell the proud experience of life in public during the banquet, when it comes to strange, brave, or ordinary people can not reach, our generation should drink a big bowl to praise it. ”

  The group of thieves roared and praised, Zhang Sanye was originally a person who was born, he knew that this was the opportunity for everyone to take the opportunity to hear about their own affairs, just in time to be happy today, where else could there be any excuses, so he said it during the banquet. (Literature reading "Green") However, Zhang Sanye hung talismans and touched gold, all of which were private deeds, and he didn't want to confide in front of the public, but just pinched his head and tail, and told everyone a few adventures in his life.

  Zhang Sanye was originally a famous family, after the defeat of the family since childhood in the countryside, when he was a teenager to participate in cracking several strange cases, in Jiangnan Pingkou became famous, and later became an officer, fought with the Taiping Army, also suppressed the twist, and followed the Zuo Lord to suppress the Xinjiang rebellion, life has been on the battlefield for a long time, more battles, life adventures are countless.

  The deeds of the third master, any paragraph that is told, it is "said that the stars and the moon are not glorious, and the road breaks the rivers and flows backwards", and everyone was fascinated by it. After he spoke, he asked the rest of the seniors to tell their own traces in turn according to their seniority, and the group of thieves crisscrossed the north and south, traveling thousands of miles, in addition to killing people and setting fires, they also did a lot of major things about unloading the mountains and fighting backwards. Their experience is also more sensational, the people in the green forest prefer to sell these heroic things, it is really the speaker's eyebrows fluttering, the listener is fascinated, and I don't know how many empty wine jars have been overturned during the banquet, this meal is hearty, from the dark to the next day, only to get drunk and disperse.

  After more than a month of neatly handling the things on the black and white roads, Zhang Sanye returned to his hometown with his relatives, and he still had to pick up the talisman and seal the gold in front of the ancestral master's throne, and he didn't plan to be a captain of the gold school in the future.

  There are only three ancient talismans in the world, which are passed down from generation to generation. Zhang Sanye has a son and a daughter, and has four disciples, except for the daughter, a total of five brothers and sisters. The Zhang family is a master of feng shui, and the people who are qualified to hang talismans in the world are nothing more than Zhang Sanye and his group of disciples, at most, there are far less than ten people, but there are only three real talismans, and it takes a lot of brains to pass on the golden talismans to whom.

  Zhang Sanye's four disciples, all of them have outstanding points, one is the elder Lichen who became a monk in Wukusi Temple in the future, the old elder Lichen has not yet been shaved, and he does not leave his real name in the green forest, and no one knows his common family name. This person has been a thief who has been flying eaves and walking on the wall since he was a child, and he was nicknamed "Feitian??", and he never missed a big mansion by stealing a mansion, and the light skill of turning his head was extremely good, and the technique of finding the dragon and dividing the gold and setting the acupoints was taught by Zhang Sanye. He is as fiery as fire, good at managing the injustices of the world, and often has the heart to help the world and save people.

  The other is the gold abacus, the merchant family was born, knows how to Qimen pins, is shrewd and smooth, rare is to be upright, but self-esteem is too high, do not put ordinary people in the eyes, a pure gold made of the abacus never leave the hand, abacus beads and frames are engraved with the number of heaven and earth. His abacus is not used to settle accounts, but to calculate the five elements of the number of the five elements, occupying the eight directions, he and Zhang Sanye met in their early years, and their friendship is extraordinary, half master and apprentice and half friend.

  The third is Sun Guofu, who is a child of a family, just because he was born with yin and yang eyes, and since he was a child, he "can see ghosts", so he was thrown out of the house and wandered in all directions, and was later met by Zhang Sanye and accepted as an apprentice. This person is kind-hearted, full of economy, and a Taoist mind, in other words, he is more traditional and conservative, although he has learned to be full of skills, but he is unwilling to do the business of fighting for profit, and he never participates in the act of sharing spoils and gathering righteousness in the green forest, so he uses his real name and surname wherever he goes.

  The last old man, is Zhang Sanye's closed disciple, there is a nickname called the iron grinding head, full of hard kung fu, once fell into the grass for the coward, and into the twist, before killing countless people, but Zhang Sanye said that his temperament is very much like a brother in his early years, thinking that he is strong and honest, so he was included in the door.

  On this day, Zhang Sanye called his disciples' children and grandchildren to the front of the hall, put the three ancient talismans in a jade plate, and told everyone that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and today it is better to pass down the golden talisman, and there is no feast in the world. But there is one, learn to touch the golden lieutenant's dragon search trick and divide the gold to set the acupoint, but do not hang the person who touches the gold talisman to go to the fight, once or twice may be able to get away with a life back, but the ancient rules are broken, sooner or later you can't avoid the fatal catastrophe, if you don't listen to the master's words, and when you die one day, don't blame the teacher for not making it clear.

  The disciples of the disciples all knew that Zhang Sanye was smart and the world, (all the words that were said by Sese were not true, so they naturally did not dare to disobey, and they all stepped forward to bow down, and they all said: "Who the three gold ancient talismans are passed on, it is all up to the master, and the disciples have nothing to say." ”

  Zhang Sanye nodded, in fact, although there were five disciples including his son, in fact, who to give the golden talisman to had already been decided, and he first let his son withdraw from the room. It turns out that the secret art of touching gold, inherited for thousands of years, has a lot of internal rules, and the true charm is not passed on to its descendants, which is one of them.

  It is completely different from the undisciplined folk thieves, this rule is out of the inverted bucket for profit and extremely damaging yin blessing, even if it is to touch the gold school captain to steal the treasures of the ancient tomb, most of them are to help the world and save the people, but those treasures are not ordinary things seen in the world, revealed in the world, will lead to open and secret grabbing, to get to the bottom of the matter, the person who inverts the tomb to take the treasure will eventually create a lot of evil, so there is a "do one generation, rest three generations" said. From the generation of the third master's son, to the generation of his great-grandson, he can no longer do the business of hanging talismans and robbing tombs, otherwise he will be sent by heaven, cut off his children and grandchildren, and lose his family.

  In such a business, the only people who can hang the talisman are the four apprentices of Zhang Sanye. Among them, Sun Guofu, the "yin and yang eye", is a talent without a crown, he is not willing to fight at all, and is willing to make some ordinary livelihoods, or open a museum to teach apprentices, or play hexagrams for others, and choose the two houses of yin and yang, anyway, he has a lot of skills, and he does not have to worry about his livelihood.

  Zhang Sanye saw that the "Yin and Yang Eyes" had made up his mind, so he took out a book, which was called "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques", which recorded in detail what Zhang Sanye knew and learned in his life.

  The secret art of touching gold is actually a branch of "Yi", the ancient hexagram of Zhou Tian has a total of 16 characters, and only the gossip is left in later generations, and this gossip is divided into innate gossip and acquired gossip. It is said that the congenital gossip is obtained by the Fuxi Emperor from the tortoise shell pattern, and the acquired gossip is performed by King Wen of Zhou, in fact, they are all made by later generations, and the two are not much different, both belong to the number of heavenly hexagrams with "dragon" as the image, so Zhou Yi who interprets the hexagram should belong to the dragon hexagram. In this gossip refutation, although there are various phenomena of rise and fall, but when you study it carefully, they are all the number of revitalization, so from the beginning to the end of "Yi", it is all about the Qianyuan Heavenly Dao.

  The ancients believed that the ancient hexagram was too complete, and all the mysteries of creation between heaven and earth were vented, so they would be jealous of the ghosts and gods, and leave it ominous, so they destroyed half of the sixteen hexagrams, and no longer existed in the world.

  Zhang Sanye once stole the ancient mound of the Western Zhou Dynasty, from which he found out the Zhou Tian hexagram that had been lost for thousands of years, so he used the sixteen-character ancient hexagram as a guide, and wrote the art of feng shui yin and yang into it, and wrote a book of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Techniques", in which yin and yang, feng shui each accounted for half, the yin and yang chapter is the number of calculations, the principle of creation, and the feng shui chapter is the Qingwu dragon hunting, feng shui - only this half volume, it covers the dragon search trick and the art of dividing the gold and setting the acupoints, and the Chinese dynasties and generations of funeral and funeral customs are a collection, which can be described as "exhaustive study of the principles of heaven and earth, A family of its own".

  In front of the four disciples, Zhang Sanye ripped off half of the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", leaving only half a volume of Feng Shui secret art, and incinerated half of the Yin and Yang secret art into ashes in the brazier. Everyone was puzzled and asked the master how mysterious this book was, and why it was burned? From now on, there will no longer be no more ancient hexagrams of Zhou Tian in the world?

  Zhang Sanye said with a smile: "Farming in the dry land, running boats on the waterway, and no fruit growing on people's heads, this is all the way of heaven and heaven, and the rise and fall of the world has always been a certain number, but who can peek into the mystery?" It can only be said that there may be immortals, anyway, it is not what we people in the world should know, although this heavenly opportunity is deep and subtle, but staying in the world will inevitably cause a lot of trouble, only burning the sacrifice genius is right. Then he passed the remaining half of the remnant book to Sun Guofu, the yin and yang eye, and instructed, "Touching the feng shui secret technique of Jin Xiaowei, there is no way, and the three major dragon veins in the north, south and middle have been explored, leaving this half of the remnant book in the world, and it may still have its place in the future. ”

  Yin and Yang Eyes Sun Guofu hurriedly thanked Shien, tearfully accepted the remaining book, and left the Shimen to travel away. In the end, Zhang Sanye said to the remaining three people, Lichen, Jin Abacus, and Iron Mill Head, it seems that touching the gold ancient talisman will fall on the three of you. Today is not an auspicious day, and when I was waiting for my son, I worshiped my grandfather, and then I wore a talisman to grant gold.
