Chapter 22 The Jiang Family
In three years, I have learned a lot of information about the spirit seed, and it is much easier to read the "Three Realms Fu Linglu", and I will tell me when I encounter the Dao Quanzi who I don't understand, but there are some special questions that he can't answer, and most of them I comprehend in the spiritual ginseng.

"What's going on with the old house on Tsukuba Road?" I was reminded of the past three years ago in Beijing, which was the first time I had encountered a bizarre event.
"I went to the Hades Mansion to search for the Dilu, and then asked some undead who had not yet been reincarnated, and got some useful information."
During the Red Turban Uprising in the Ming Dynasty, there was a Jiang family in Beijing, which is now Beijing, and the situation in the capital at that time was very chaotic, and every household was worried about being raided, but the Jiang family at that time was smooth sailing, and the yamen did not dare to offend him easily.
The reason is that there is a person in the Jiang family, Jiang Ziwu, the youngest son of the second master of the Jiang family, Jiang Ziwu, the second master of Jiang's real name is Jiang Zhishan, known as the second master of Jiang Jiashan, Jiang Zhishan himself is also friendly, there are three daughters, almost forty years before there is a younger son, the youngest son was born in the middle of the night, there was no crying when he was born, and the family was not scared, Jiang Zhishan burned incense and kowtowed, and only at noon did there be a cry, and the family showed a smile.
Jiang Zhishan also took the name of two hours and named it Meridian, and then Jiang Zhishan was even more virtuous and accumulated, and he was even more famous in the city.
When the meridian is over the first year old, the family holds a big wedding wine to entertain the guests, no matter who it is, there is food and wine to eat and drink when they enter the door, and there are many beggars in the neighborhood who come to get naked, and they also eat and drink, and no one goes out.
At noon, Jiang Zhishan's wife sat in the main house with her little son in her arms, and he entertained guests at the door, and his face was happy and he never closed his mouth, when the doorman came to report that there was a taxi who wanted to see the head of the house.
Jiang Zhishan thought about it and didn't know any monks, thinking that maybe it was a passer-by who came in to ask for a bowl of wine, so he ordered the doorman to invite people in.
The Taoist priest who came was wearing a purple and gold hairpin with a bundle of hair on his head, wearing a white robe, holding a whisk, wearing double-face shoes on his feet, and embroidering a Qingyun pattern on the upper.
Welcomed the Taoist priest into the house and asked the reason, the Taoist priest laughed, "Poor Dao Lin Feng, Daoist Xuanzongzi, I came here today to see my disciple."
Jiang Zhishan was a little confused when he heard it, so he asked, "I don't know which one Daoist Lin is talking about?" ”。
Xuan Zongzi looked at the meridian held in Jiang Zhishan's wife's arms and smiled silently, nodding again and again, Jiang Zhishan's wife saw Xuan Zongzi looking at her youngest son, and hurriedly hid back, Jiang Zhishan seemed to have guessed who he was referring to.
"My son is still young, I dare to ask, I don't know when he has a master-apprentice relationship with the Taoist?"
"Uncle Jiang doesn't have to panic, I have my own destiny with this master and apprentice, this time I came to visit my beloved apprentice, two to congratulate, and three to give my beloved apprentice a meeting gift, which is a little heart for the teacher", after speaking, he took out a jade pendant from the bag, which was engraved with two cranes lifelike.
"Poor Dao lives in Yunheguan, I will come to visit again in three years, and I will take this son to the mountain to practice when the time comes", after saying goodbye to everyone and leaving the Jiang family.
Yunheguan is extremely famous in the local area for hundreds of miles, every year many dignitaries and nobles will go to the view to burn incense and ask for blessings, and some people want to ask for the view to take in the heirs as apprentices are difficult to make a wish, the view of the children in the view are called fairy children, not to mention the longevity, and Xuanzongzi is the master of the Yunhe view, it is difficult to see each other at ordinary times.
Sending away Xuanzongzi, Jiang Zhishan trembled with a jade pendant in his hand, this is a great fortune and a great opportunity, but it is impossible to ask for it, and it is even more beloved to see his son's meridian.
At first, my wife didn't agree to watch the meridian, but how could a woman at that time have the status to speak, and she didn't dare to squeak when she was scolded by Jiang Zhishan, how could this kind of great blessing be missed.
Three years later, on the day of Ziwu's birthday, Xuanzongzi really appeared at Jiang's house again, but this time there was a little fat doll around him, and Xuanzongzi promised Jiang Zhishan that he could go up and watch Ziwu once every three years, and he could not go home until Ziwu went out to watch the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, Ziwu was already sixteen years old when he went down the mountain, and he had a stunt at that time, and the boss of the Jiang family died due to illness, Jiang Zhishan inherited the Jiang family's business, relying on the applauded connections to make the Jiang family's career bigger and bigger.
Ziwu's return made the Jiang family shine even more, looking at the face of his son Jiang Zhishan, who had not seen him for many years, and aged a little, Ziwu kowtowed to his parents and swore that the Jiang family would never die, and the family business would be passed on from generation to generation.
Meridian said and did it, he himself is extremely intelligent, and in the Yunhe Temple taught the true transmission of the Dao, in the first forty years of the name has been greater than the master Xuanzongzi, at the end of Xuanzongzi's life, Xuanzongzi personally gave the meridian road number "Zhixuzi", and handed over the position of the Lord of the Yunhe Temple to him to take care of, and after explaining everything, he went to the immortal.
The departure of the master did not immerse Ziwu in pain, at this time he had already seen through life and death, and once found a book in Xuanzongzi's book pavilion "Soul Continuation", this book he had been thinking about for a long time, but when Xuanzongzi was there, he specially told him to just pass on this book, let alone learn this book.
According to Xuanzongzi, "Continuing the Soul" originated from the Warring States Period, left by a monk, which was all about the Taoism of raising ghosts and continuing the soul, because the Taoism was too evil, extremely damaging to yin and yang, it was listed in the banned book by decent people, and this book is also the only remaining fragment, which is Xuanzongzi's obsession and was not willing to destroy.
Ziwu once inadvertently opened this book, saw some content, was found by Xuanzongzi was extremely angry, and punished Ziwu to face the wall for three months to practice Taoism to eliminate evil thoughts, but he didn't expect that Ziwu had been thinking about this book in his heart.
After painstaking research, Ziwu finally verified his idea, although this book is detrimental to Yin Virtue, but it has great benefits, that is, to continue life.
In order to avoid being suspected by righteous people, Ziwu elected a disciple to take over the position of the master in the name of seclusion, and he returned home and never asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
At this time, the Jiang family is in charge of Ziwu's eldest brother, that is, the eldest son of his uncle's family, although Ziwu does not ask about family affairs, but no one in his family dares to underestimate his identity, in the family he selected a favorite descendant to teach the Tao, and this Taoist teaching is included in the family secret method, only a few people know.
It is also because of this that the Jiang family has been safe and sound, there have been troublemakers who do not know anything to trouble the Jiang family, and the next day they found that they died violently in the wilderness, and after several incidents were related to the Jiang family, there were no more troublemakers coming to the door, and the officials also came to the door to inquire a few times, but they couldn't find any news, not to mention a few crazy, and since then no one has dared to come to the door except the Jiang family.
Since then, no one has seen Jiang Ziwu, some people say that he is dead, and some people say that he has become a crane, and many people have died in the life and death of the Jiang family, but no one has ever seen Ziwu's funeral, as the family business slowly weakens, there are fewer and fewer people in the Jiang family, and sometimes there are more people who die than they live.
During the Qing Dynasty, the people's lives were not bad, and it was a common thing for the old people to leave when a new life came, but it was very strange near an old house, the neighbors in the township did not see the new baby born, but the dead were very frequent, there were hundreds of people who died in one year, but only one family was fine, that was the Jiang family.
After a long time, there were constant rumors, rumors spread, and finally when it came to the Jiang family's cultivation, some people said that the death of the neighbor had a great relationship with the Jiang family, the Jiang family was raising ghosts, and the death of the neighbor was that the soul was taken away by the Jiang family, and there was everything.
But at that time, people believed in this very much, so in addition to the neighbors around the Jiang family have moved far away, and some people have moved out of the capital, the matter spread to the yamen, the county order heard that it was anxious, and there was such a thing within my jurisdiction, so it was okay, and immediately sent people to Jiang's house to search, but in addition to a large number of enshrined ranks, no one looked at it, and the county order angrily ordered people to smash the ranks, dismantle the door plaque, the courtyard, and finally put a seal on the gate.
But a day later, the next day, someone found that more than 10 members of the county order's family had died in their own house, with no scars on their bodies, and their faces showed a look of horror, as if they had seen something terrible before they died, and they were scared to death at first sight.
The matter finally reached the prefect, and the prefect did even more desperately when he heard it, and asked someone to set fire to the Jiang family compound, and the Jiang family, which had been based for hundreds of years, was burned clean by a fire, and since then there has been no violent death, and this matter has been forgotten for a long time.
It wasn't until after the liberation that a house suddenly appeared in the north of Beijing, which is now Dianchang Road, that is, where we went, and the family of this house was also surnamed Jiang, an ordinary villager, a family of five, the couple with three children, living by farming, and one of the children was called Jiang Tongquan.
