Chapter 027: The Tenth Demon Tower (2)
In the spiritual world, where there is yin, there will be yang, and there is no good retribution for no reason, and there is no calamity for no reason.
This is like borrowing luck, when I traveled to southern Xinjiang in the past, I once saw someone wrap a silver treasure with a treasure bag, put a charm in it, and then throw the bag on the street, if someone picks it up, coveting the property in the bag, it will be borrowed by the spell caster for good luck and even life, and the caster, the reincarnation of cause and effect, will eventually suffer some kind of backlash because of the luck.
Since ancient times, the Pagoda of Eternal Life has been regarded as a symbol of auspicious blessings, and it is said that the spirits of the deceased who are enshrined in it can be transcended and their souls return to peace after death.
But in fact, hundreds of years ago, someone discovered that another function of the Immortal Pagoda was to build a corresponding tower under the Immortal Pagoda with the help of the principle of yin and yang.
This tower, called the Tenth Demon Tower, is different from the Immortal Tower, the Tenth Demon Tower, is a vicious curse.
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of Jing'er Palace?"
"Jing'er Palace?"
The senior brother was puzzled for a while and said, "I've heard a little." ”
I continued: "The Immortal Pagoda we see, if it is reflected on the surface of the lake, will show exactly the same shadow in the water, and the principle of the Jing'er Palace is the same, except that the other part is not a shadow, but another tower built underground, exactly like the Immortal Pagoda in our eyes. ”
The senior brother snorted and said, "I know, but what does this have to do with the Immortal Pagoda, how do you know that there will be another pagoda under this Immortal Pagoda in front of you?" ”
"Senior brother, have you ever seen a ten-story pagoda?"
"This ......"
The senior brother was speechless for a while, and replied, "I really haven't seen it." ”
"As the old saying goes, the water is full, the water is full, the moon is full, the earth is full of civil engineering, the reason why you need to avoid the full number, is because the legend, the gods in the sky or the underworld, their residence is full, in order to show piety and respect to the gods, it is the emperor's palace, and they dare not build a full number of rooms, why is the immortal tower built by the king for Princess Hanji is ten floors?"
The senior brother was silent for a long time before he said, "Even so, it can't be said that this is related to the Tenth Demon Tower. ”
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, I smiled and said, "Then do you know what the origin of the Tenth Demon Tower is?" ”
Legend has it that the Ten Demon Towers correspond to the Ten Halls of the Hades.
And the Ten Halls of Yama are the gods who control all the ghosts in the world.
After the death of earthly people, most of the souls are a cloud of ignorance and ignorance, but there is a kind of ghost, because of the great grievances and pain suffered before death, or because of the deep obsession with some people in this world, this kind of feeling, will be a powerful force, enough to condense the soul, it is possible to make the dead who should be ignorant and ignorant remember the people and things in their lifetime.
If this kind of ghost is affection for people in this world, it is better to say that if it is hatred, then the person who is entangled will be tormented and will never die.
Therefore, those who have committed sins can build a ten-generation demon tower and enshrine the statues of the ten halls of Yama in the tower, they can suppress the evil spirits and have peace.
One tower and one floating life, one layer and one reincarnation, and ten layers of pagodas, which means that the resentful souls who are sealed in the tower will be born for ten lives, and the soul will not see the light of day, and there is nowhere to extend the grievances.
"If this is the case, then why didn't the king seal the bones of the thief and the baby in the tower, and do so much to do with it?"
The senior brother thought for a moment and asked such a question.
Seeing that he didn't give up, I was also helpless, so I could only explain: "Senior brother, do you remember that the history books say that there was a plague in the southern land? ”
The senior brother replied angrily: "Three hundred years after the founding of the Southern Territory, during this period, it is recorded in the single round of history books, I don't know how many plagues have occurred, how do I know which one you are talking about?" ”
"When I mention the plague in the South, that's the first thing that comes to mind."
I replied lightly: "There is no plague that is as strange as that time, when there were thousands of casualties around Gyeonggi, but there are only a few words in the history books, only saying that it is related to a heavy rain." ”
"Maybe ......"
The senior brother thought for a moment: "It was that heavy rain that caused the flood, you know, whenever after the flood, there is often a plague in the place. ”
"Even if there is really a flood that causes a plague, why don't the history books go into detail and explain in detail, the plague with the greatest casualties in the history of the southern border, isn't it worth the historian's pen and a few more words?"
"And why do you say that?"
I snorted lightly: "I'm afraid that there are some things that I have to remember, but there are some words that can't be passed down to the world." ”
In fact, the first person to use the Tenth Demon Tower was a general in the south.
The general was brutal by nature, and when he was ordered to go on an expedition, he once declared a personal vendetta and led his troops to kill the lives of his entire family.
Later, the surviving sons and daughters of the family grew up, painstakingly arranged, deliberately approached, the elder sister became the general's concubine, and the younger brother became a musician in the general's mansion.
They originally wanted to take revenge, but their identities were discovered, and the two were caught by the general, and at that time, a warlock was supported in the general's mansion, I don't know whether it was out of experiments, or the psychology of protecting the lord, the warlock told the general that the two sisters and brothers had a deep grudge against him, and they were afraid that they would linger after death, which would be unfavorable to him and the people in the general's mansion.
In order to prevent such things from happening, he suggested that the two sisters and brothers be tortured and killed in the tenth demon tower, and on top of the demon tower, the immortal tower was built, and the immortal tower was built for her spiritual position because of the violent death of the concubine.
Later, the general died in battle, and the owner of the mansion rotated several times, and the head of the house at that time did not know what had happened before, because the land needed to build a new mansion, and thought that in the immortal tower, it was only a lowly concubine who was enshrined, so he ordered the upper immortal pagoda to be demolished.
Eventually, they discovered the Tenth Demon Tower buried underground, and also released the resentful spirits that were locked in the tower.
As a result, the revenge of the resentful spirits of the siblings was stronger than before because they had not seen the light of day for many years.
At that time, the sky in the south was changing, and a black fog was like a huge whirlpool, shrouding the sky over the royal city, and the people of Gyeonggi closed their doors, and their king in the south thought that this was a man-made disaster, and it could only be solved by people, so he ordered all the people in the general's mansion to be locked in the mansion and wait for death, hoping to calm the anger of the resentful spirits.
The residents who lived nearby heard the terrible screams coming from the general's mansion, and those people seemed to be entangled in some terrible thing, panicked, fled in all directions, kept banging on the door of the mansion, but never came out, until dawn, those only faint cries for help gradually disappeared, and finally fell completely silent.
A few days later, when the people opened the gate of the General's Mansion again, they saw that the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the flesh of those corpses seemed to have been eaten by wild beasts, and only the skeleton stained with fragments of flesh remained.
The black fog did not dissipate immediately, but it rained heavily for several days in the royal city, and the rain was mixed with red and smelly blood, and wherever it went, the grass and trees withered, and the livestock died.
This is the origin of the plague in the South.
If a resentful spirit was locked in the Tenth Demon Tower, maybe the result would not be so tragic, but after all, it was the warlock who was conceited and thought that his Tenth Demon Tower could trap two resentful spirits at the same time, which eventually led to such an uncontrollable situation.
Therefore, even I can't imagine that if three resentful spirits are blocked in a tenth-generation demon tower, not to mention whether it can be sealed with the power of the tenth-generation demon tower, once the resentful spirits rush out of the tower, then, the hatred and power accumulated by the three resentful spirits will probably destroy the entire royal city in an instant.
At that time, the Heavenly Government Yuan also said this to the king.
After all, the Tenth Demon Tower is different from any kind of resentment resolution technique, if it weren't for the fact that the hatred is as deep as the sea, and the resentment cannot be dissolved, I think, no one should be willing to try this way.
"It was a man-made disaster, but in the end it caused a natural disaster......
Senior brother sighed silently.
I smiled coldly: "It's a man-made disaster, it's a natural disaster, why does the Southern Imperial Court want to cover up this matter?" ”
Senior brother didn't speak, and I said again: "This kind of thing, appalling, even now when we mention it, we all feel frightened, and analyze the ins and outs carefully, it seems that it is a man-made disaster caused by that general, but how can it not be caused by the southern court, immorality and lack of government?" ”
"Having said that, because of the enmity of one family, it will cause the disaster of tens of millions of people, and those people who died in vain are really innocent."
"Senior brother." I took over: "Do you think that those people who died in vain are innocent, but how can you ever think that those who are locked in the mansion waiting to die, they are all innocent? ”
"Since it was the general who committed the sin, but the general died in battle, and the hatred was dissolved, what is the fault of the remaining in this matter? But they were locked up in the mansion, seemingly to appease the wrath of the spirits, but they were just a group of people who pushed others to death for their own survival. ”
"It is a crime for the general to kill the whole family, and to torture and kill the two sisters and brothers in the Tenth Demon Tower in an extremely cruel way; It is a crime for the southern court to be careless and careless, to connive at the commission of such a crime by its vassals, and then to deliberately sacrifice the lives of innocent people in exchange for the peace of the royal city; As for the people, it is not their business, and they think that they have nothing to do with it, but it is also a sin that someone dies to protect their lives, and they acquiesce in this forced sacrifice. ”
"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, the court law, even if you don't save you when you die, there will be no punishment, but this is the truth of man, not the truth of heaven, in terms of heaven, a place breeds evil, whether it is a person who commits a crime, or a person who allows this crime to happen, it is a crime, and the crime should be punished, and that's it."
The senior brother was speechless, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Is this ...... Is it the world of warlocks? ”
I smiled and said, "Senior brother, I said earlier, the so-called warlock, it's better not to be curious. ”
"I really don't understand what you're thinking."
Senior Brother sighed and said, "But I believe that you are not a person who has no affection in his eyes, only Tianli Dao Law. ”
Hearing this, I curled my lips slightly and replied, "Senior brother, if I were really that kind of person, I wouldn't be here." ”
