【Chapter 224】The Three Immortal Relic Clan
Ancient China has always had a lot of legends of demons and monsters, and fairy stories abound, but at the end of most of the stories, either the demons were punished, and they were all happy, or they were in the immortal class, and the heavenly court listened to the seal, so in the whole myth and legend, there are very few humanized colors, anyway, it is not right to stay in the world, let alone breed offspring.
But this can't be said that there really isn't, because there are very few people who know the Dao, these so-called immortals, in fact, have descendants who are still thriving in this world, and the largest family in the middle has a total of three branches, which are known as the three immortal relics.
The first branch is the Zhong family, the Zhong family has been witches for generations, witches are not only a profession of presiding over sacrifices, they are also doctors and think tanks of the entire tribe, communicating with heaven and earth, and talking to the dead, so the Zhong family is good at using ghost arts.
The ghost magic here is not the same kind of ghost magic used by the ghosts, they achieve the effect of the ghost magic in a special way, using the formation and spell seal as the medium to transplant the ghost magic. This is all due to a certain generation of Kui of the Zhong family, which is the credit of Zhong Kui as we all know.
The Zhong family has three major stunts, one of which is four martial arts: ghost snatching hand, judge finger, Hades fist, and life-killing palm.
Among these four martial arts, Hades Boxing is an introductory boxing method, and the Zhong family basically knows how to do it, but most of them have not practiced qi cultivation, so their strength will be greatly reduced. The life-killing palm is the female martial arts of the Zhong family, feminine and ingenious, the main defense is not the main attack, but the counterattack is deadly, pay attention to one blow, do not seek to hurt the enemy, and take your life directly, so if you don't make a move, you will take your life.
The judge refers to the martial arts based on the premise of qi cultivation, and pays attention to the fact that it arrives first before the qi arrives, and refers to the end if the qi (opponent) is reached, when encountering an opponent who cannot be a hard enemy, the judge refers to the ability to attack from afar, kill people with qi, and be good at group battles.
As for the ghost catcher, it is the secret skill of the patriarch of the Zhong family. No more than three people in each generation can use it at the same time, and it is generally passed on to the grandson after the grandfather resigns the position of patriarch, and the merit is given from generation to generation to train successors for the family. The ghost catcher is the hand of the immortal from the Zhong family, that is, the Zhong Kui we are most familiar with, specializing in capturing evil spirits and ghosts, up to the ghost king and ghost handsome, down to the ghost pawn and ghost soldier, and entering the ghost body with qi, then this ghost can only be obedient and obedient.
The second is ghostcraft. To this day, no one knows how the ghost magic of the Zhong family is performed, some people say that it is inherited by the blood of the Zhong family, and only the descendants of the Zhong family who have the blood of the Zhong family on their bodies can launch this kind of ghost magic.
Some people say that the Zhong family used ghost bones when they performed ghost arts, and used ghost bones as a medium to transform their own magic into ghost magic through a kind of energy conversion. Some people also say that the Zhong family made a deal with ghosts and sold Yangshou to ghosts in exchange for using ghost hands to perform ghost magic.
This statement can be seen in the sacrificial contract in which the Bronze Order summons the two ghosts of impermanence and the golden weight, but it has not been further confirmed. In short, the ghost art of the Zhong family is all hearsay, and no one has made a conclusion on it so far.
Third, among these three stunts, only the head of the Zhong family can use the ghost technique, which is also called a ghost puppet. This technique not only requires the user to achieve a certain level of qi cultivation. It is also necessary to be proficient in more than four kinds of ghost arts, and at the same time, there is another requirement that is extremely demanding, that is, the condition that the Zhong family's ghost art can be passed on in a single line, and no one can steal it, that is, blood.
I want to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family. It must be from a yin and yang family, and how many generations of families have to eat this line of food, and the girl herself must be pure-blooded. In order to ensure that the dilution of genes by the children born to the Zhong family will be supplemented by another gene in the other party's bloodline, so that this bloodline will not be diluted by half at once, causing some specific genes in the bloodline to decrease sharply.
So what is ghost art? It refers to everything that can control the ghost's thoughts, behaviors, etc., and turn the ghost into his own puppet for his own use, Xing Song's manipulation of the evil ghost in the 731 base is the ghost art!
And it is the generation of Zhong Kui who created the ghost catcher, who is also the culmination of the three unique learnings of the Zhong family, and after his death, he became a ghost immortal, a true monarch of the town house, a true monarch of the exorcism, an emperor of the exorcism, and a saint of the town house. But as his descendants, the Zhong family still continued the bloodline and became the first of the three immortal relics!
The second branch of the three immortal relics is rarely known, because this clan is quite strict, does not enter the world, pays attention to self-cultivation and self-discipline, never contaminates the life in the world, and lives a self-sufficient life in a corner.
No matter what the world is, this family lives in such a peaceful life, indifferent to anything, stubbornly refusing to lend a helping hand to anyone, and at the same time never wanting to get anything else from this world, this remnant family, surnamed Xiao.
The Xiao family has never produced immortals, and there are no generations to go up, the ancestor is a scholar, and there are also people who have been officials for several terms, there is no history of great wealth and nobility, and they have never been down, it is such a family, what does it have to do with the three immortal relics? In fact, the origin is a chance encounter between Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi.
The time can not be examined, but a number of wild histories and classics point out that it is the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling chased and killed Tai Sui to a place, the people here are not rich, but the folk customs are simple, it was late at that time, Zhang Daoling planned to find a family to spend the night.
Go to the poor people's house, the poor can't eat, even if Zhang Daoling is allowed a place to sleep, Zhang Daoling will also be hungry. If you go to a rich house, the threshold for a rich family is high, and you are not allowed to be humiliated. So Zhang Daoling found a small family to bother.
After calling the door three times, the door of the house opened and a little old man came out of it, about sixty years old, looking like his body was still strong, but his eyes were not very good, and he was very close to Zhang Tianshi to see what the person standing in front of him looked like.
After Zhang Daoling explained his intentions, the little old man enthusiastically let Zhang Tianshi into the house, and then beckoned Zhang Daoling to sit down, poured a bowl of water for Zhang Daoling, and talked after taking two buns. But when the two were talking, Zhang Daoling heard someone reading, so he asked who the little old man was.
The little old man sighed and said that he was his unsuccessful son, who did not practice martial arts, but wanted to get ahead by studying, and the whole family was maintained by the little old man alone, so that he left some fields and real estate on his ancestors, so as not to be poor.
Zhang Daoling listened to the sound of reading the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu, and unconsciously wanted to see the owner of this voice, so he informed the old man that he had entered the inner room, and saw a young and handsome young man, shaking his head and reading bamboo slips by the light of the oil lamp.
As soon as the young man saw someone coming in, he naturally knew that he was a guest who had just come to the front hall, and seeing that this person was dressed slightly differently from the others, he bowed his hand, and the two of them began to talk. This young man secretly admired Zhang Daoling's profound knowledge, and was also surprised that Zhang Daoling's understanding and extension of Taoist thought.
And Zhang Daoling was also surprised by this young man, although this young man has shallow experience, he has unique insights into Taoist thought, and his desire for knowledge is very strong.
It's as if Zhang Daoling has eaten the apricot meat cleanly, thinking that he knows a lot about apricots, but this young man actually asked what is in the apricot kernel and whether he can eat it, which is a kind of thinking of seeking innovation and change, which makes Zhang Daoling have a new understanding of himself and Taoist thought.
In this way, the two talked very happily, and before they knew that the sky was about to dawn, the two knew that Lu Dao had been chatting non-stop for a night, although the time was very short, for a while there was a sense of affection, and thus it became a year-old friend.
The young man learned that Zhang Daoling came to kill Tai Sui, and knew how vicious and vicious Lu Dao Tai Sui was, so he offered to help Zhang Daoling get rid of this scourge, but Zhang Daoling's mana was already extremely strong at that time, and this young man was a weak scholar, how to fight this?
Zhang Daoling also knew that if he wanted to lure Tai Sui into his trap, he must have a bait, but if there was a slight mistake, this young man would definitely die. But this young man's repeated requests, Zhang Daoling had no choice but to agree ruthlessly, and things went very smoothly, while Tai Sui was removed, Zhang Daoling also saw the courage of this young man.
And the young man was also shocked by Zhang Daoling's spell, so he asked to worship Zhang Daoling as a teacher on the spot. But Zhang Daoling took this young man as a friend, how could he be an apprentice, so Zhang Daoling thought of a way, the two of them were called senior brothers, let this young man call himself senior brother, and he would teach this young man his own skills.
But it didn't take long, Zhang Daoling's cultivation was consummated, and the heavenly court issued an edict, and after the catastrophe, he became an immortal, ranking first among the four heavenly masters of the heavenly court. Before he ascended, he also handed over this young man to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and he never hid his personal money. And this young man's surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Rang!
Before Zhang Daoling feathered, he taught his son Zhang Heng the double sword of male and female demon slayer, which was the Second Heavenly Master. And when Taishang Laojun received Zhang Daoling's three-five demon sword, he also passed down a bag of spells, which was Zhang Daoling's enlightenment, because the spells in the bag were all written by Taishang Laojun himself, and the richness of the immortal family's righteousness and the mystery of the Taoist law were all in it, and in the end, this bag of spells was left to Xiao Rang.
Therefore, Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi left two branches, one is Zhang Heng who inherited the mantle of Zhang Tianshi, and the other is actually Xiao Rang!
But Xiao Rang's qualifications are mediocre, although he already knows Taoism well, he can't break the last layer of window paper no matter what, and he has not been able to achieve positive results in his life, until Xiao Rang dies. But although Xiao Rang failed to become an immortal, he studied the spell left by Taishang Laojun quite deeply.
Then, after several generations of descendants summarized and studied, they finally reached an unprecedented height in their understanding of the Taoist spell technique, making the Xiao family a spell master! The thunder charms, shower charms, house charms, amulets and so on derived from them have their own effects and are varied.
Chen Blind paused when he said this, then looked at Luo Wen, who had already understood something, and said, "And I am the Xiao family." (To be continued......)
