Chapter 126: Bald Gate
The ghost gate in the south of the Yangtze River has a long history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info And in earlier times, the so-called ghost gate was just a few warlocks who called the soul of the wandering party in order to frighten the foolish village women and made up, as a result, the southern and coarse people believed it to be true, and only regarded the ghost gate in the mouth of the warlocks as some kind of evil sect that harmed people and took souls, out of fear, the ghost gate became more and more intense until the last out of control, provoking Suzhou Mansion regardless of the officials and people, everyone was in danger.
If Lu Yu monks and Taoist priests must be regarded as "ghost gate" disciples, the government will be beaten into tricks, and finally sentenced to death, so that the temples in the south of the Yangtze River do not exist, the Taoist temples do not exist, and the miasma of black smoke and miasma appears.
The so-called three people become tigers, let alone thirty people, three hundred people? Suzhou Mansion has become a ghost domain in the world, but instead of reflecting on themselves, mortals blame the evil things of the goblins on the "ghost gate" that is obviously nothing.
There are even better deeds, and even claim to have been to the ghost sect, knowing where its location is, and then taking care to draw on the paper, probably indicating a direction - Jiaxin Xiuyun Temple.
Xiuyun Temple was founded in five generations, after the wars and turmoil of various dynasties, but it can be passed down all the time, and each generation of presiding elders are well-known powerful monks, no one within a radius of 100 miles does not admire, every time to flood and drought, Xiuyun Temple will also open a warehouse to release grain to help sentient beings, save tens of millions of lives in a belt, under the gratitude of Dade, since then the incense is vigorous.
But when the glory passed, when the Hu people ruled the country in the Qing Dynasty and did not believe in Buddhism, the status of Xiuyun Temple also plummeted, and the ghost gate in the south of the Yangtze River was extremely famous, and everyone was eager to get it, so when the good guy came to Xiuyun Temple with the villagers and officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers actually did not hesitate to kill the generals, and the blood stained the Daxiong Treasure Hall in an instant.
In the case of self-defense to no avail, the thirty-third generation of Xiuyun Temple presided over the remaining disciples and desperately repelled the invading officers and soldiers, and finally the door was locked, and in the Daxiong Hall, in front of the solemn Buddha of the treasure elephant, they set themselves on fire together......
…… The fire continued for days, burning the remains of the monks and the land on the top of the mountain together, and the resentment caused by it never mattered of things, and there was never a single grass on the original site of Xiuyun Temple.
Time flies, no one remembers the word Xiuyun, the local villagers see that the soil does not grow grass, just like a monk without hair, and think that there was a "demon monk" who was annihilated here, so he called it Bald Village to satirize the monk bald donkey.
Before the tea and dinner, he was a talking point, talking and laughing, so unhappy, so bald, bald shouted for more than 20 years.
It wasn't until 20 years later, after dinner that the leading man who lived in Suzhou Mansion that year, suddenly ran out of the door like crazy as if he had an emergency, screaming and yelling, and running out of the door like crazy, all the way with only one hand, he grabbed his head and bled for nearly 100 miles, and even felt no pain when his feet were worn out to reveal white bones, and when he was finally found, he fell on the land called "Bald Gate", and his body was stiff.
Next, the massacre began quietly, with the death of the leading man, the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, who approved the dispatch of troops, was also kidnapped, and finally was cut open alive and hung on the old locust tree in front of the former Xiuyun Temple.
The prefect of Suzhou could not protect itself, so what about the soldiers who were directly involved in the massacre of the monks? The answer is no.
The secret avenger is very patient and very resourceful, as if he obtained the roster of the slaughterer that day, according to the roster, one by one tied the soldiers to the ruins of Xiuyun Temple, and then burned them alive with an open fire, deliberately leaving a place of miscellaneous ashes for people to "visit".
As a cruel hunter, his revenge even extends to the next generation, for those soldiers who are injured due to causes, died early and cannot take revenge directly, revenge falls on their children or friends, with the same method, maybe overnight, more than a dozen people may be missing in Suzhou City, and the corresponding Xiuyun Temple ruins will have more than a dozen corpses turned into charcoal, regardless of men, women, old and young are not spared.
Even if the imperial court issued a letter ordering the arrest of the culprit, the avengers came and went without a trace, like a ghost in the dark night, unable to catch it, without showing traces, and after years of painstaking investigation without results, the officials could only write a few lines vaguely - "The demon spirit is very reasonable, the heavens are clear, and it is fair." ”
It's fair to say, after the new prefect read these lines again, he didn't say anything and slapped the "closed" seal on this appalling case.
The government is over the case, but the people who live around the "bald gate" are afraid, and they have chosen to leave their hometowns and move their families, so that the "bald gate" will become more and more desolate and more terrible, and after another 20 years, people will no longer dare to talk about the "bald gate", thinking of the souls who were burned to death and hanged on that land, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and changed their mouth to call it the ghost gate! Hundreds of ghosts gather, a hell on earth!
I don't know when the ghost sect really appeared, as a real sect......
It's just that this sect is too mysterious, and it is still impossible to determine whether the establishment of this ghost gate is related to the demise of Xiuyun Temple, whether the founder of the ghost gate is related to the monks of Xiuyun Temple, although there are many conjectures, and the versions are different, but for so many years, no one has really come into contact with a disciple of the ghost gate (except for my father, because he never admits that he is), until today I have accidentally met three people of the ghost gate at the same time - now the master of the ghost gate - Schisandra, and a pair of daughters of the current head of the ghost gate - Atractylodes, Atractylodes.
Ten days ago, the two of them stole the Soul Stealing Blade held by Schisandra and went down the mountain privately, hoping to intensify the internal contradictions of the Blood Law Sect and achieve the goal of disintegrating the Blood Law Sect from within by falsely transmitting the Blood Law Sect's master's sound book.
(In other words, the real Blood Law Sect didn't think of letting the Autopsy Sect replace the position of the third ghost at all, and the "oracle" that the old shaman was holding in his hand before was actually forged by these two people at all.) )
But then the accident ensued, just when they dropped the first forged oracle and were about to leave, they found that the autopsy door was actually doing the kind of dirty business of instructing evil spirits to abduct and sell children.
Although Hongqi is a cruel person, but also has a chivalrous courage, he immediately decided to stay and save these children, but at this time, I came out and claimed to be the ambassador of the Blood Law Sect, which made the two sisters very puzzled and suspicious, only when I was the villain who came to stir up the situation, so I unceremoniously took me first, trying to get some clues from my mouth.
In the end, it was a mistake, so that I got the treasure of their ghost sect and was taught a lesson by my own master and uncle......
The next thing is what happened before, in short, all the causes and consequences, including the fact that Schisandra recognized me as the master, were just all kinds of coincidences and misunderstandings.
Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a different kind of Hongqi, if she could have been more polite to me at that time......
