Chapter 16 It is better to do evil than good
"What?" I couldn't help but exclaim, if this is the case, maybe there are some clues hidden in his residence, and maybe the two secret techniques of the Lu family are among them...... Li Hongchen seemed to be very satisfied with my expression, and his red lips bloomed to reveal his white teeth: "That place, it's right here." ”
As he spoke, he handed me a note.
I took the note and glanced at it, my eyes narrowing.
What was written on this note turned out to be Xiuwu County...... The town where I belonged to my childhood orphanage.
Mother actually lived in Xiuwu?
I put the note away and nodded, "Indeed a useful message, thank you." But ......"
I stared at Li Hongchen's beautiful face, frowned, and said, "Since you know that place, I'm afraid that all the useful things in it have been taken away by you, right?" ”
"Not really."
Li Hongchen shook his head: "I can guarantee that only our Li family found that residence, and only we have entered it." But we'...... Nothing. ”
I stared at Li Hongchen's eyes and saw the firmness in them, so I relaxed, sighed and said, "You can't find it, how can I find it." ”
"Not necessarily."
Li Hongchen pulled her hair behind her ears: "Your mother is a talented and intelligent person, and the things she hides can only be found by the person she wants to leave behind, such as you." ”
I shook my head secretly when I heard this, my mother tried her best to get me out of the tomb robbery world and avoid all incidents, so naturally she wouldn't leave any clues for me alone, but I must go to this martial arts, even if it is to find my mother's footprints.
I nodded: "What about the second news?" What is the origin and purpose of the ghost seal? ”
Li Hongchen smiled slightly, and actually took out a ghost seal from his neck, this ghost seal is also in the shape of a jade seal, the appearance is dark, but there is a hideous ghost head carved on it, and the evil ghost roars to the sky, which is quite strange.
Li Hongchen took off the ghost seal around her neck and showed me the side engraved with words.
That's a 'work' word.
"Do evil rather than good."
Li Hongchen's red lips lightly opened: "I only told you the origin of this ghost seal, but I didn't tell you the origin of these six words." ”
"Oh?"
I was interested, "What's that story?" ”
Li Hongchen pursed his lips and smiled, and continued: "You should know that this ghost seal appeared in the Tang Dynasty, right?" ”
I nodded, "Yes." ”
Li Hongchen also nodded, looked down at the ink-colored ghost seal, and said slowly: "But it really has divinity, but it was in the Song Dynasty after these six words were engraved." ”
"Oh?"
I was stunned for a moment, and even asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Hongchen put away the ghost seal and hung it around his neck.
During this period, the bottomless ravine in my chest was exposed intentionally or unintentionally, and I saw it intentionally or unintentionally.
I just felt like my eyes were being sucked in, and I didn't want to move them away.
Until there was a sharp pain in my waist, I exclaimed and turned my head to look, but I saw that Lin Fanyin's glass-like eyes seemed to be full of tears, and his mouth was pouting.
I nodded to Fanyin awkwardly, turned my head to Li Hongchen and said, "You continue to speak." ”
Li Hongchen glanced at me deeply, smiled meaningfully, but continued without delving: "This ghost seal is actually originally an ornament, but the material is a little special. And when Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, built a haunted Chang'an, it is impossible to verify whether this ghost seal really came in handy for suppressing ghosts. But at that time, for some reason, the ghost seal was cleverly divided into six, which could be separated or spliced back to the original. Even if it is exquisite, it cannot be said to be a treasure to ward off evil spirits, but can only be said to be a delicate plaything. But since these words were carved in the Song Dynasty, it has become a treasure to suppress evil. Speaking of which, there is still a legend. ”
I don't have any hobbies, but I have a soft spot for these supernatural stories, and I hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly!" ”
Li Hongchen smiled mysteriously: "Do you know who wrote the words 'rather do evil than good'?" ”
I knew that she was selling Guanzi, but I still shook my head cooperatively: "I don't know." But to be able to say such a counterintuitive thing, it should be two hundred and five. ”
Li Hongchen said playfully: "I know that you will definitely not guess that the person who said this is a famous Qing official of the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng Bao Qingtian!" ”
Hearing this, there was only one thought in my head: "She's playing tricks on me." ”
Li Hongchen also saw my face, and hurriedly said, "You can listen to me first and finish the story." ”
I nodded, "Say it." ”
Li Hongchen said: "In the Song Dynasty, there was a Seshui Village. There are poor mountains in front of the village, and there are bad water in the back, and even the best foot sellers have made a detour, and the villagers are isolated from the world, and the poverty is down, and one generation is not as good as the next. And in the middle of this Sesui village, there is a little lame man, who was born with a disability and has difficulty moving. barely survived on 100 family meals. When others were working in the fields, he went to the river to dig up stones, and limped and piled them up. Others thought it was strange and asked the little cripple why he did this. The little cripple said that he would build a bridge to connect the outside world and make the village rich. At first, others scoffed, but day after day, the spirit of the little crippled man touched everyone, and the village spontaneously began a mighty bridge-building operation. But one day, when the little cripple was working, two lightning bolts suddenly fell from the sky, which burst the stone apart, and coincidentally broke the little cripple's eyes. Everyone was frightened, and they were even more pitiful for the bumpy fate of the little cripple. But the little cripple quickly came out of the shadows, groping every day to deliver food to everyone. Soon there was another landslide, and the little cripple was hit on the way to deliver food, and his two arms were smashed to pieces. But the little cripple is still strong, and he will not die, so he rubs on the construction site every day, and uses his head and mouth to do his part for the project. Everyone was moved by him and called him a living saint and a little immortal. But not long after, the little cripple was pushing stones by the river, and a demon thunder fell on the sunny sky, directly slashing the little cripple, and splitting it into ashes alive. This angered everyone, and the villagers all pointed at the sky and scolded angrily, saying that God is unfair and good people are not rewarded. It happened that Bao Zheng's case had passed since then, and when he saw that everyone was pointing at the sky and scolding the sky, he stopped asking in fierce words. After listening to the villagers tell the whole thing, Bao Zheng shook his head again and again and sighed: "I can't imagine that God is so unfair! As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote down the six big characters of 'Rather do evil than good', and left gloomily. After the case was handled in the capital, Bao Zheng was summoned by the emperor. Bao Zheng hurriedly ran into the palace, but saw that the emperor was worried. Bao Zheng inquired and found out that the harem concubine gave birth to a prince, and she was born with a ghost seal in her hand, engraved with the words 'rather do evil than good'. Bao Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Gongsun Qi, a feng shui master at that time, to answer. Gongsun Qi looked at it with yin and yang eyes, and said with a smile: "This prince was originally a wicked man of the ninth generation, and he repented in his previous life, and went through the tribulations of heaven without being moved, not only making up for the sins of his previous life, but also creating immeasurable merits, so he changed his life against the sky, cast as a dragon fetus, and incarnated as the son of heaven." This is karma, the principle of reincarnation in the cycle of heavenly principles. ”
When Bao Zheng heard this, he felt that the six words he inscribed 'rather do evil than do good' were too superficial, so he made a presumptuous assertion without knowing it, and was ashamed, so he asked the emperor for the ghost seal under the pretext and handed it to Gongsun Qi.
Maybe the ghost seal is contaminated with Bao Zheng's righteousness or the emperor's dragon energy.
This ghost seal has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
And why the ghost seal of the Tang Dynasty appeared in the belly of the concubine of the Song Dynasty is unknown.
