Chapter 32: Sui Zhu's Secret
Lin was shocked when he heard the name of the orb, and then fell into a confused and thoughtful look, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered about the origin of this jade necklace. It turned out that Lin Qihan's family was from the "Marquis of Sui" in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and his surname was changed to Lin in order to avoid disasters and return to the mountains and forests. According to the old people in the family, it is true that the "Sui Hou" was offered a treasure pearl, but about the pearl of the Sui Hou, the world only knows one but does not know the other.
According to the old people, what "Sui Hou" saved in the slag area was not a huge giant python, but a newborn dragon, that is, a small dragon that did not give birth to horns. Xiaolong accidentally lost his mana because of his greed in the mortal world, and was almost hacked to death by the hunter as a giant python monster, but fortunately met the "Sui Hou" to save it, the Xiaolong family was grateful, and gave the treasure under the sea to the "Sui Hou", therefore, the jewel that the world pays attention to is not produced in the "Sui Hou" fief slag water, nor is it as simple as only shining and huge.
Legend has it that the dragon gave birth to nine sons and did not become a dragon, each with its own advantages, "Sui Hou" saved this little dragon, it was the youngest son of the dragon's sixth son, Baxia, who was usually the most favored by his father, so Baxia gave the jewel in his dragon shell to "Sui Hou". It looks like a pearl similar to the pearl of the night, but it is actually a real jade pearl, and its greatest effect is to bring the owner back to life. When Xiaolong gave the orb, he also asked the "Marquis of Sui" to swallow a piece of dragon scales on his body, and told him that the Zhou Dynasty was running out of energy, and if one day misfortune encountered disaster, he could go somewhere by the East China Sea to find him for protection.
The original "Marquis of Sui" was a very powerful one among the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was a virtuous and benevolent corporal, and the people of the fief lived and worked in peace and contentment, and lived a rich life, which won the hearts of the people and had a good reputation, and the Zhou Dynasty in the same period fell into an eventful autumn after Queen Zhou Li. First of all, a great turmoil broke out in the national capital Haojing, and the courtiers ousted King Zhou Li from power, and then King Zhou Xuan came to power and the royal family was briefly prosperous, but in order to ensure that he had no worries when conquering Huaiyi, he crusaded against Chu again, and the relationship between the Zhou people and the Chu people was tense again. So, the state of Chu wanted to win over Sui Hou and incite him to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty together, and installed some Chu eyeliner around Sui Hou.
Because the historical Zhou Dynasty was built by the surname Ji, the fiefs were either relatives or children of the Zhou royal family, and its ruling system was based on clan blood relations. The Chu land was controlled by the Chinese forces outside the Zhou Dynasty system, and it was different from the nature of other clans and meritorious feudal states from the very beginning, and it was also different from the feudal state of the original Dongyi tribe, and it was only a very fragile nominal monarch and vassal relationship with the Zhou Dynasty, and the degree of obedience to the Zhou Dynasty was far less than that of other vassal states.
In addition, the geographical location of its fief was at the southernmost point of the Zhou Dynasty, far away from the north of the military, political, and economic center at that time. For various reasons, the people of Chu have long been resentful of their own situation, and they want to dare to be the first to proclaim themselves kings in the world, always pay attention to the dynamics of the Zhou royal family, and wait for the opportunity to rise again.
The matter of the "Marquis of Sui" getting the jewel was soon known by the Chu people, and they deliberately publicized the matter, which caused the princes of various countries to covet and compete, and also made up rumors that the person who won the pearl won the world. "Sui Hou" suspected that he would soon be convicted of the jewel, so he ordered people to look around for the huge night pearl, and really found a jewel that was very similar to the jade pearl. Sure enough, a few days after getting the jewel, "Sui Hou" was suspected of disobedience by Zhou Tianzi, and was innocently convicted and imprisoned.
After the ministers persuaded Zhou Tianzi to no avail, the family handed over the fake pearl to the imperial court, and finally got the "Marquis of Sui" pardoned and released from prison. After being released from prison, the "Marquis of Sui", who saw through the world and was disheartened by the Zhou Dynasty, led his family and Yuzhu to leave the capital on the grounds of going to the fiefdom to inspect, and later secretly ran to the East after several tosses and turns, seeking the protection of Xiaolong and never asking about the world again.
After the "Marquis of Sui" arrived in the East, he received the enlightenment and teachings of the Dragon Family, and began to devote himself to cultivating immortals and visiting the Tao to stay away from the red dust. At the same time, he also had an epiphany of life, wealth is like floating clouds, the truth of impermanence in the world, in order to prevent his descendants from being convicted of jade beads, he split the priceless jade beads into small pieces, and made twenty-two heirloom jade necklaces to protect the health of his children and grandchildren.
The number of jade beads and jade plaques in each jade necklace is 21, representing the ten places of Buddhism, the ten places of self-cultivation and the Buddha fruit. According to the Buddhist scriptures, the ten places in Buddhism are: the land of joy, the land of detachment, the land of light, the land of flame and wisdom, the land of invincibility, the land of the present, the land of travel, the land of immobility, the land of good wisdom, and the land of Dharma clouds. The ten places of self-cultivation mean the ten paramitas, namely: giving, precepts, forbearance, diligence, meditation, prajna, convenience, wish, strength, and wisdom, and the Buddha fruit refers to the fruit of long-lasting practice.
The purpose of this is to let the broken jade bead retain the magical function of allowing the owner to heal illness and prolong life, although it has lost the miraculous effect of bringing people back to life, but it can still be made perfect in another way. That's why after being attacked by a poisonous rat's tail, he only had a tingling sensation in his neck, but he was not as sick as Yang Jianwen and Principal Bai.
"Ah Han, why did you give me such a valuable necklace? Finally understood why Ling Jing was so excited! ”
"I couldn't save Lin Hua at the beginning, and now I definitely don't allow you to have anything to do. I promised him that he would take good care of you, this necklace was supposed to be given to Lin Hua, and now that it has chosen you, you are qualified to wear it! ”
"It chooses me? How does it choose me? Why should it be given to Lin Hua? What the hell are you talking about? ”
I asked anxiously, Lin Suo looked at the mosquito and the source walking in front, lowered his head and thought about it, and then slowly spoke after a while. The dragon scales that Lin said "Sui Hou" swallowed that day gave his children and grandchildren a special function, which means that as long as they are the descendants of the Lin family, they will be born with a certain special function. And according to this characteristic, when "Sui Hou" made twenty-two jade necklaces, the Oriental dragon was lit several times, making the necklace have another mysterious power.
That is, only when the descendants of the "Sui Hou" clan wear a magical jade necklace, its magical function of dispelling illness and prolonging life can be brought into play. At the same time, the special functions of the descendants of the "Sui Hou" clan can be activated, highlighted and powerful. And other people who do not have the blood of the "Sui Hou" clan, even if they wear this jade necklace, it is impossible to achieve the effect of dispelling illness and prolonging life.
First of all, the color of the jade plaque and jade bead will be black and dark, as if it has been soaked in sewage. Secondly, the blackened necklace will make the wearer's skin ulcer and pus, and the ulcer will also emit a strong odor that makes it impossible to breathe closer. Eventually, the necklace will disappear until the true owner is found.
