Chapter 4 The Ghost of the Bagua Tomb Tower (4)
I remember hearing a story from my grandfather, it is said that during the Warring States Period, there was a monarch of a small country named King Huaide, who killed all those who opposed him in order to consolidate his position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After killing the officials and the people, he felt that it was not enough, so he ordered people to drive all the monks of his country (that is, later Taoist priests) to the mountain, and then set a fire under the mountain, saying that these people were the culprits who endangered his country and were the source of evil. The fire burned from the bottom to the top, and the fire burned for a day and a night, and almost all the monks on the mountain died. King Waide also ordered the place where the priests were to be cleaned up, and a huge number of books were cleared.
King Wyd ordered the soldiers to burn the books in public, and at noon on a sunny day, when the soldiers threw torches into the books, suddenly the clouds were thick, and for a time the wind was fierce, and the books flew all over the ground, and the people who had good deeds picked them up and opened them, and found that every page was empty. So he shouted: It's all white paper, it's waste paper. Others also picked it up and looked at it, and it was indeed a blank slate.
The soldiers also thought it strange, but they did not dare to disobey the king's orders, so they had to go down and grab the books and destroy them. There were a few people who were bold enough to secretly take a few books home, and it was strange to say that things were strange, and then these people who picked up the books and brought them home disappeared inexplicably, some people said that these people discovered the secrets in the books and became immortals, and some people said that they were arrested by the government and killed.
No matter what happened to these people, people became more and more enthusiastic about this kind of book, calling it "Heavenly Book, Divine Script" and a series of other names, but later a person saw the name of this kind of book "Ming Shu" in the history books, and this was recognized by people.
"So you say this book is an inscription? Xiaobao" Gu Ming said with a smile. I replied: "I just remembered it suddenly, and it just fits perfectly, but the book still has page numbers, and the writing and materials are so new, if you want to say that it is an inscription, it must be a pirated inscription." ”
At this time, Gu Ming said, "Hey, do you think you will use a special method to make the text appear", so we used all kinds of messy methods on TV, and the book was almost damaged, and there was still no text to emerge. The two of them sat on a chair and stared at the "book" on the table in a daze
"I said this store is really deserted, I've been watching the game here for so long, and I still haven't seen any customers coming" Suddenly a voice rang out, interrupting our thoughts, I looked up at him, and then at the TV in the store, which was playing an NBA game. Just wanted to ask when this person came. I saw Gu Ming jump up: "Weird!! ,", he paused and said to me, this is the weirdo he was talking about,
I took a serious look at this person, wearing a brown T-shirt, five-point pants, white sneakers, and black big-framed glasses, he should be about thirty years old, and he felt like an ordinary person, not like a weirdo who can know other people's past.
"What's weird, young man" "And call me Teacher Cong, from today onwards, both of you are Taoist priests"
"Huh? Taoist sister, in broad daylight, you have watched too many TV series, you are sick. We're not sick, we're all such big people, playing cosplay? "I'll be right back
The self-proclaimed teacher Cong coughed, then snapped his fingers, and the book on the table instantly returned to his hand. We were all stunned, and he smiled slightly, "Convincing or not?" Gu Ming was the first to disagree, snatched the book, put it on the chair, and sat down. Come on, you're changing one, if you're..."Before he finished speaking, another snap of his fingers sounded, and the book returned to his hand.
"But what do you mean by suddenly appearing and saying that you want us to be Taoist priests, we are not three-year-old children, we will do whatever you say. And I haven't had much business lately, I'm dying of poverty, what kind of ghost Taoist priest can I sit with you, can I make money" I quickly added
This teacher Cong replied: "Actually, I found you when you were very young, but you may not have any impression, as for the little stone lion, there is a lot of things in it, Tang Erbao's grandfather should know this better than me", when he said about my grandfather, I was also surprised, but thinking of my grandfather's expression, I felt that things must not be so simple. But I thought about it again and said, "You said you came to us when we were young, and it feels like you're not much older than us!" How old are you?"
He smiled mysteriously and said the two words I hated the most in my life, "Guess!! ”
"By the way, there is also that book, Tang Erbao analyzed it almost the same. This book should be called "Inscription Book Replica" or Taoist Book to be exact, which records some basic Taoist techniques and law decisions, but you shouldn't be able to see it, I thought that your family would tell you something related, but I didn't expect the older generation to keep it so thoroughly. "I thought about it, my dad has a conversation, and my grandfather came from the north with a few fellow villagers, and one of them is Gu Ming's grandfather, so I have known Gu Ming since I was a child. But what did my grandfather do before he came to Fujian, my dad didn't say anything, let alone anyone over there, from the teacher paused again, "As for the money" He directly pointed his finger at Gu Ming, I just thought that Gu Ming is a rich child, so there is no big problem in this regard for the time being, but I don't know what Gu Ming's thoughts are, I just wanted to go back and ask him.
As a result, Gu Ming had already run in front of Teacher Cong, and said with an extremely pleading look: "What kind of magic is this, such a god, teach me quickly, I want to learn." “。 Seeing this, I think Gu Ming is even more fine.
The teacher suddenly lowered his voice and said: "The problem left by the older generation, you descendants can't run" I was a little surprised when I heard it, and replied: "What is the problem." "But now is not the time to discuss these issues, I will teach you how to read the words on this book first, as for Gu Ming, you don't need to read this one, I have another book here" As he spoke, he took out another book, with a fiery red skin written with the words Fang Shandue.
Gu Ming didn't pretentiously, he took it directly, opened it and saw that it was full of neatly written words in block letters, and I couldn't help but wonder a little: "Why is he such a clear book, and I haven't written anything." ”
It seems to feel my resentment, from the teacher smiled: "Those who can work more, those who can work more, come, Xiaobao looked at the cover of this book, and slowly read the four words "clear eyes and clear eyes", so that the mouth and heart are consistent", I read it a few times, I felt like a madman, nothing. I read it again, and suddenly, a word appeared on the cover, and I couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
He said again: "You take a look at it, if you don't understand anything, you can ask, we will set off in a few days" I couldn't help grinning when I heard him say this, indicating that I didn't understand anything,
"Go, where are you going?" Gu Ming and I asked at the same time
"Let's go to the Bagua Tomb Tower to catch ghosts", he smiled and said very blandly, as if talking about an inconspicuous little thing.
