"Well, at such a critical juncture of Yixuan, He Wuben wanted to urgently urge Mr. Fang to leave quickly and flee for your lives, but at this moment, it was the time of life and death, and the ancestors of the Huang family were instructed by the masters to build this mysterious and mysterious five-story compass compound for nearly 300 years, once the life ban was implemented, no one had ever been able to escape from this purgatory......" He Wu, who was destined for He Qiao'er, sighed, "I, the He family, worked hard for the eight generations of the Huang family, but in the end I suffered such a disaster, this kind of blood hatred, the He family has no time with the Huang family!" My He family has been punished by God because of the ancestral craftsmanship, and the people are thin, and when it comes to my generation, there is only one vein of my beloved daughter Qiao'er, and He Wu's heavenly calamity can catch up with the rare 'stacked fate' and 'evil luan matchmaker' and reincarnate in front of people, so I must make my He family's great grievances public! In this way, even if Huang Er, Huang Sanye, and the two old thieves can escape the punishment of the law, they can't escape the eyes of God! Mr. Fang, as long as you can escape—as long as you can escape safely, He Wu's great revenge will be avenged by itself—Heaven will punish the Huang family!" ”

I smiled bitterly, I want to learn from him the cause and effect of all this to resolve the disaster, but he depends on us to take revenge, and the relationship between exploitation and exploitation exists anytime and anywhere. I looked at the time, and immediately said: "So, Senior He, let's talk quickly, what is the purpose of the Huang family to build this strange compass compound, just to kill people?" His Huang family's secret is top secret - what is the wax coffin, you tell me all this, Fang Yin may be able to find a glimmer of life from it, if he can get out alive, it will be good to make this period of adventure public, and the generational grievances between the old predecessors and the Huang family will be resolved one by one! ”

"The Huang family was instructed by the master to build this five-story compass compound, to resist aggression and official and bandit rebellion, although it is a purpose, but not the main purpose, it is really for my He family's ancestral craft - wax coffin, this word is too unfamiliar to the world. But if I say another word, Mr. Fang and the people in the Xuanmen will definitely know - people do it! ”

Hearing this, I was full of wit, and I also heard the four deputy county magistrates Zhao next to me exclaim: "People, people, people?" ”

People dry. It turns out that the family heirloom craft of his He family is a producer!

The producer has been in China since ancient times, and it has been recorded in ancient books such as "Lü's Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States Policy". During the Warring States Period, there was Gao (gao) Tao people in the land of Chujing who could make "people die for three years without decay", which should be the earliest corpse embalming technology in China, which is mixed with mountain pine resin, unique soil and some spices, molded all over the body, and then dried by wind. The better the materials and craftsmanship, the longer the "human dry" can be stored in the world. The craftsman who made the production was also called "Gao people". However, this rare and rare method of embalming corpses in our country is far from mummies made by ancient Egyptians. Two

There is a huge difference. Mummification involves hollowing out the internal organs of the corpse, stuffing it with embalming materials, and then the corpse is sealed in layers of special cloth, which can indeed keep the corpse undecomposed for thousands of years. However, the ancient people of our country paid attention to the ideological realm of "the unity of heaven and man", and often attached to the human body itself, believing that even if it was a single hair, their body had its heaven and earth significance. The human body, especially the internal organs, is a small universe arranged according to the essence of "Zhou Yi", especially the ancients also believed in "Reincarnation in the Afterlife", can a corpse without internal organs have an afterlife? Therefore, in ancient times, there was a "Gao people" craftsman who would never remove the internal organs of the corpse when inheriting the enlightenment of "the unity of heaven and man" and making the dried corpse, which is the biggest difference between the production of human stem and mummy, after the death of the person, the internal organs of the person are very perishable, and the internal organs will be decomposed on the surface of the corpse as soon as the internal organ rot water comes out. From this point of view, the ancients in China were far more proficient in complex corpse embalming techniques than the ancient Egyptians. But it is precisely because the producer does not remove the internal organs, so the storage time of the human dry is not as good as that of the mummy. Ancient Egypt has unearthed 3,000 years of incorruptible mummies, and China's human dry production technology can only keep the corpse unchanged for a hundred years. But if you compare it well, the mummy has been hollowed out and is extremely ugly, but the human stem is like a complete and lifelike living body, which is enough to admire the wisdom of the ancients in our country.

Another difference between a producer and a mummy is the purpose of both parties. The ancient Egyptians made mummies so that the corpse would not decay for thousands of years after burial, but the people made by the ancients in our country did not do it for burial, but placed it in front of the hall for the descendants to lay the foundation to worship and admire! Dead people, the first priority is to bury in the ground, but in history, there are always some rich families who are reluctant to bury in the soil, so they ask the Gao people to make the corpses of their loved ones into human dry, and place them in front of the hall for descendants to worship on festivals and festivals. It is precisely because the "human dry" is not used for burial, so this kind of unearthed cultural relics are rarely found in archaeology, and this technique is rarely seen in historians' classics, and is only secretly circulated in Xuanmen Taoism.

Later, about the time of the Tang Dynasty, the production process of human stem gradually spread to Taoism and Xuanmen sects, the Taoist Mai faction inherited this method is the most effective, they developed the "condensation of the corpse soaking pool" technology, with the Taoist alchemy to wax the corpse, this wax is made of pine resin condensed for hundreds of years and thousands of years on the mountain of the sun, boiled into a liquid, the corpse is disemboweled, soaked in the stomach, after soaking for 7749 days, the internal organs of the corpse have already coagulated, and then sealed the corpse with Dan liquid, repeatedly waxed, Before the Tang Dynasty, a corpse could be preserved for a maximum of three to five years, and after that, the embalming time of the corpse was increased for ten or fifty years. In addition, this process of the Mai Taoist school perfectly solves the collapse of the face of the human stem and the state of air drying, so that the human stem is vivid with the living person regardless of body shape and face. The original method of making human dry is because the corpse is air-dried, and even if the corpse has been embalmed, the face of the corpse will be bent and blackened until it completely presents the appearance of a dried corpse. The reason why the rich people can give more remuneration to the Gao people, the first thing to depend on is the integrity and similarity of the human stem, after such technological innovation of the Mai Taoist school, the integrity and fresh quality of the face of a human stem have been greatly improved, according to the "Li Tang Tongxuan", a well-preserved human stem is placed in front of the hall, "those who come are worshipped, and they do not know that they are not living creatures."

However, the technology of the producer was gradually lost after the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty, with the change of war during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the annihilation of the flashy wind in the world, the folk customs of pragmatic farming flourished after the war, and most of the monarchs during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms believed in Buddhism, and most of them opposed the craft of storing the corpses of living people in the world without burial. Naturally, the scholars did not dare to disobey, and the people lost the main source of income for the wealthy and eventually dispersed, and this craft was on the verge of being lost. In the Song Dynasty, the situation did not improve. On the one hand, Cheng Zhu Lixue of the Song Dynasty also imprisoned this primitive idea of making people. The original purpose of the producer was to pay homage to the ancestors of the wealthy clans, not to bury them, and in some ways it was tantamount to a family heirloom treasure. The more the government and the world are opposed, the more valuable this kind of thing is, and a well-preserved human gangan with a history of nearly 100 years can be fried for thousands of taels of silver in the middle of the Song Dynasty!

It was at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that the producer's technique gradually lost its original theme and thought, because of the stimulation of material desires and money and wealth, and thus moved towards the confrontation with history and heaven and humanity. The well-preserved and lifelike human stem has since lost its own purpose of existence - for future generations to pay homage and admire, and it has completely become a friendship

The cultural relics that are easy to turn over have become the collections in the secret rooms of the wealthy officials of the Ai Curious Collection. With Zheng He's seven trips to the West, Southeast Asia and Western countries and the Ming Dynasty have become more and more close, and China's human dry production has also spread abroad, foreigners will never care about it as a sacrificial article, they will only love the perfect collection value and lifelike embalming technology...... It was also at this time that "human dryness" was rarely used in all kinds of metaphysical classics, and it must be known that money and material desires were a major rejection in Xuanmen thought.

"The ancestor of my He family met the Taoist Mai master Tianchong Dao ...... at the end of the Ming Dynasty," He Wu sighed again when he said this, and hundreds of years of past events floated between words.

It turned out that at that time, the He family was poor and unreasonable, and they were desperate and only met the head of the Tianchong Road, and the head of the Tianchong Road said to the He family that there was a craft that could make the He family get rid of poverty, and the family could enjoy fine clothes and food. However, this craft is detrimental to yin morality, if you want to dissolve the catastrophe, you must find a pair of "monarchs and ministers", the ministers take care of the king's life, the king adds the life of the minister, the monarch and the minister offset the two lives, and it takes a long time to resolve the catastrophe, this craft is the producer's work. The head of Tianchong Dao is a master of Taoism, and he has inherited the essence of Mai Taoism's human production. However, in the view of the Mai Taoist school, the production of human beings is the behavior of the living trampling on the dead, and the death of people should be put into the earth for peace, and staying in the world is often inconsistent with the way of heaven.

At that time, a human cadre who was intact and could be preserved for more than ten years could be sold for hundreds of taels of silver under the secret, and all of them were purchased by the rich and noble families of the official eunuchs. Moreover, these wealthy officials have a special hobby for a certain type of people: boys, virgins, and beautiful women. These rich and noble families wanted to rely on these people to worship themselves in the earth and ascend to heaven, or as their own "" items, similar to today's inflatable dolls. A lifelike beauty can be sold for thousands of taels of silver.

Tianchong Daoist asked He to inherit this craft, and the He family is the "minister's order", so it is necessary to find the person who is the "king's order" for them, so that the two can offset each other and resolve the crime of several days.

It was in the winter of the year when the war was raging at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Tianchong Dao was running around, hungry and cold, and fainted in the ice and snow. The ancestor of the Huang family happened to be passing by, and he gave the only pie in his hand to the head of Tianchong after not eating for three days. In order to repay the favor to the ancestor of the Huang family, the head of Tianchong Dao coincidentally calculated that the ancestor of the Huang family has the "king's order", so he can inherit the "minister's order" of the He family.

"Tianchong Dao Chang will be the Mai Taoist School unique human production skills to my He family ancestor, but the" Jun Chen "has a share, the minister has to work for the king, my He family has to serve the Huang family since this generation, we make money for him, then we must also be taken care of by their grace, a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing, enjoy Zhong Ming Ding food. The two sides complement each other, so that each other can enjoy wealth and prosperity - this is fate, since my He family ancestor wants to change the poverty of the family, he has accepted this rank pattern. What's more, in that era of war and chaos, there was really no other way to quickly change your fate. ”

He Wu's tone turned sharply, and his words became sonorous, "Tianchong Dao has long passed on the 'minister's order' - my He family ancestor does the craft, and also passed on the 'monarch's life' - the drawings of the Huang family's Gaozu's 'compass yang house'." This is the origin of this five-story compass yang house. In the view of the Mai Taoist School, human stem must be made in a dense place, and it cannot see the sky, only the five-layer compass Yang Mansion can suppress several catastrophes. Tianchong Dao Chang knew that after the Huang family built the five-story compass Yang Mansion and before leaving, he repeatedly explained many matters, and I and the Huang family must abide by it, otherwise, as soon as the heavenly machine is leaked, the heavenly crime should be punished, which is the 'three lives of the monarch and the minister' - first, the origin of the human corpse in the production of human cadres can only take the people who starved to death on the road or the soldiers who died in the war, and the people who starved to death were the 'dead', which is the origin of my He family's secret craft of 'wax death'. Tianchong Daoist said that it is already a big damage to Yin morality for the producer to do it, not to mention that he has to kill people again to do it for the producer! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were people who were starving or dying in battle everywhere on the road, and the head of the Tianchong Dao only allowed us to take these nameless and ownerless corpses to make people dry, and we must not be forced to kill the living with evil thoughts. Second, the 'minister' He family must do their best to the Huang family, and they must not disclose anything to any third party. The secret producer can only be known by the He and Huang families, once it is known by a third party, the life of the monarch and the minister will be reversed, and if this third person does not die, the party of the monarch's order will suffer a catastrophe. Third, the 'king's order' Huang family must treat the people of my He family well, take care of the children of my He family, and let us get the general service of princes and nobles...... Speaking of this, He Wu

The words are sad, and it is the sad place that has been spoken.

I sighed lightly, it turned out that the most exquisite Mai Dao production process in the history of our country was inherited by the people of the He family! However, this craft has also been lost...... Immediately, I sighed: "According to the 'Three Lives of Monarchs and Ministers' set by the head of Tianchong Dao, the eight generations of your He family have worked hard for the Huang family, but until your generation, the Huang family's head of the family, Huang Erye, Huang Sanye, obviously violated the third article - the 'monarch's order' Huang family must treat the people of the 'minister's order' He family well......"

"But what makes it even more difficult for me to escape the blame is that we also violated the first ......"

"Oh?!" I was instantly startled, pinched my fingers, and soon realized that this should be the reason why He Wu was trapped in the "Thunder and Fire Tribulation"!
