Chapter 56: Cinnabar Stone
I have always been timid and afraid, without my grandfather by my side, I was even more cowardly, and looked at Zhang Zewen resignedly, "Do you have to go?" Is there any other way to get my fire back? β
Zhang Zewen said in a serious tone, "If I had another way, would I bring you here?" β
I really can't refute that.
Zhang Yao next to him also spoke, "Chen Tian, don't be afraid, I feel that this place is not yin and evil, but full of yang, if there is really danger, it is impossible to have no yin at all." β
Even Zhang Yao came to persuade me, so I had to nod my head.
Zhang Zewen took us to the front of the stone bridge, he looked up at the sword hanging on it with his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "It's really a good thing, this is not an ordinary sword, this is a dragon sword!" β
"Dragon Slayer?" Zhang Yao and I asked in unison.
Zhang Zewen told us that this is a folk characteristic hanging sword bridge, not what I think is used to deal with jackals, tigers and leopards, this huge ancient sword, also called 'dragon sword'.
It is said that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, there was the practice of hanging weapons under the bridge, the carpenter and the founder of the building Luban, Tatami left a strange book "Luban Book", which recorded 480 kinds of spells and spells, which were used reasonably in the building, and could play a role in removing disasters and evil spirits and killing demons.
The stone bridge is built in the mountains and it is indeed easy to attract the demons and monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests, this kind of dirty thing likes to cling to the branches of the mountains and forests, some ghosts and monsters have made trouble, deliberately collapsed the stone bridge, resulting in the death of many people, in order to prevent these ghosts from making trouble, Lu Ban hung a huge bronze sword under the stone bridge, and the stone bridge has not fallen for a hundred years since then.
This 'dragon sword' is very common in the countryside of Sichuan and Chongqing, every few waterways, there will be a stone bridge with an ancient sword, because after a long time, many villagers do not know the origin of this 'dragon sword'.
Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, once worried about being plotted against the world, he looked for the land of the dragon vein, and later encountered the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so he guarded the sword here, and the Sichuan-Chongqing region has always been considered to be the 'land of dragon prosperity', and it is because of this.
Zhang Zewen said in a heavy tone, "This place is indeed different from other places in your village, the whole climate is comfortable, the soil is fertile, and more importantly, it is wrapped in a positive yang qi, it is estimated that there is something hidden under this stone bridge, so that the Dragon Slaying Sword must have its purpose here." Now that the fire is extinguished, you need this yang energy to replenish it, but this 'dragon slaying sword' can't be touched, so when you walk for a while, you must pay attention, otherwise it will cause disaster." β
Zhang Yao and I looked at each other, both of us are timid people, and when Zhang Zewen said this, I was even more worried.
I looked at the bottomless river under the stone bridge, and wherever there was a road to walk, I wondered if Zhang Zewen was deliberately manipulating me.
"Brother Zewen, there's no way to go here?" I'm confused.
Zhang Zewen looked at the river in front of him and nodded, "It's really no way, and the water thing has to be done with rain." β
Suddenly, Zhang Zewen's face changed suddenly, and he returned to his previous indifferent expression, raising his hand to pinch the seal and pinching the trick, "Taiyuan Hao Master Thunder Fire Essence, gather Yin and Yang to guard Thunder City."
Guan Bo ascended to the abyss court in a hot manner, and the wind and electricity evoked ghosts. Floating in the Taihua life of the public guests, God has a hurry to go. The rain in the sun is instantaneous, driving the dragon to power out of Xuanhong. I am in a hurry with the curse today, this is the name of the Jade Emperor's order, and those who dare to refuse are not lightly guilty. Haste as a law. β
"Edict!"
At the sound of an order, I only heard a sudden 'boom' sound from the sky.
It was still a sunny day, but suddenly there were dark clouds, and the black and oppressive dark clouds came and pressed in the direction where we were, and I looked up at the dark clouds above my head, as if I could reach out and touch them, and we were very close.
"Whoa-".
Before we could react, a sudden downpour of rain soaked all three of us.
But a very miraculous thing happened, just not far from us, the stones in the ditch all flowed down the water, except for one stone that was countercurrent, and the water around avoided this stone, as if it was deliberately made out of the way, I have seen a lot of beautiful stones, or the first time I have seen this red stone.
Zhang Zewen suddenly smiled, jumped and fell into the water, but after a while, he picked up the unusual stone and walked over.
I stepped forward curiously, "Brother Zewen, what is this?" β
"Stinky boy, ...... you" Zhang Zewen looked at me with a frightened face, I looked back, only to find that my head happened to touch the 'Dragon Slaying Sword', just now Zhang Zewen told us not to touch this sword, otherwise something bad will happen.
I turned pale with fright, trembled and asked, "Brother, what can I do, I didn't mean to!" β
Zhang Zewen's expression was very solemn, as if this matter had reached a serious point.
Roarββ!
Another strange sound came from the river.
Suddenly, there was a splash in the middle of the river, and several of us were almost overwhelmed by the force.
A half-meter-tall tiger suddenly rushed out and looked at a few of us.
The people in the village are really right about jackals, tigers and leopards, and there is really such a thing here.
My legs were almost weak, and this thing was going to eat people, and I had to come down in one bite, and there were no skin and bones left.
The tiger turned its face to look at me, and that look was definitely like seeing a meal on a plate, and my saliva was dripping, and I guessed at the time that it must have seen my fine skin and tender meat and wanted to eat me first, so I was so frightened that I ran back.
Unexpectedly, the tiger rushed directly and ran after me, its speed was extremely fast, and in a few seconds, a paw slapped at me, pinning me to the ground and unable to move.
"Roarβ" it cried out in extreme excitement.
Suddenly he opened his mouth and struck me in the head.
I was so frightened that I closed my eyes, thinking that I would die, and that I should not feel pain, because being half-dead is the life of sin.
However, the next scene will never be forgotten in my life.
The tiger actually stuck out its tongue and licked my face in extreme disgust, and its eyes were slightly pouted, as if it was very happy.
In just half a second, it suddenly roared, rushed towards the hill at a very fast speed, and soon disappeared in front of our eyes.
Zhang Zewen walked towards me, "It seems that this tiger has taken a fancy to you." β
"Huh?" I asked, trembling.
Zhang Yao smiled, "Okay, don't scare him, this person is very timid." β
I was stunned and looked at Zhang Zewen in great surprise.
Zhang Zewen handed me the stone in his hand at this time, "This is an excellent cinnabar stone, and there is a tiger guarding it, plus the feng shui here is excellent, a tiger with human nature is actually guarding a cinnabar stone, which is also strange." β
"In the past few days, you have used cinnabar stone to draw talisman water to drink, and if you drink it for nine days in a row, your fire will come back, and it will not be extinguished so easily." Zhang Zewen told me earnestly.
My head was buzzing, I didn't know what was going on, I just knew that I still had the wet saliva of the tiger on my face, and it was extremely disgusting.
I resignedly said, "Why didn't that tiger eat me just now?" β
Zhang Zewen said, "This tiger has lost its wildness, it is more domesticated, and it must have been raised, but we took its cinnabar stone, and it didn't get angry, but ran away as if it was finally liberated on this day, which really made me scratch my head, I guess ask your grandfather if he knows." Because strangely, this tiger didn't come to us, but you were the first to come to us. β
I'm also puzzled, the tiger means a few things, but it didn't eat me, and I'm already grateful.
Just when several of us were puzzled, the disappeared grandfather came out of the woods next to him, riding the tiger that had just run away, sitting on the tiger domineeringly, and swaying away.
Grandpa laughed, "I have been looking for it for a long time, but I haven't found it, but I was found by you three little dolls." β
"Grandpa!" I was extremely excited, but I didn't expect my grandfather to come back again, "Grandpa, I miss you so much!" I couldn't help but shout out, my heart was full of grievances, where was there no fear when I encountered what happened last night.
Grandpa raised the corners of his mouth and jumped down from the tiger, "When I was in the Daomen, I had a relationship with it, and when I was expelled from the Daomen, I looked for it for a few days, but I never found it. It used to be the mount of the old heavenly master, and the Dao Sect artificially snatched the Dao Ancestor Qi in its body, and I rescued it after I found it, and there was a cause and effect fate. β
