CHAPTER XVII
After the third uncle said this, for a while, all the eyes in the room looked at me in surprise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Three, what do you mean by this?"
I suddenly panicked in my heart, after all, I have always concealed the matter of Bozhong, if the third uncle said what he said...... What the hell is that! For a series of things that happened to me, the final stage of progress was the coming of the Bo to see me. This third uncle didn't say a word since I entered the door, but he actually saw this rank directly, and it seems that I have to re-evaluate the ability of this old man!
"Hehe, young man, you don't have to be nervous, that person and I have some origins", the third uncle took a sip of tea unhurriedly, as if recalling something interesting, "He has a very strange temper, but it is rare for me to have such an afterlife." He must have told you to stay away from me, hehehe......"
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't react for a while, that day Bozhong appeared strangely, I was actually more angry and questioned, what he said, I really didn't care too much. Now the third uncle said so......
I was shocked in my heart, and suddenly remembered that day, Bo Zhong said that there would be people surnamed Hu or Lu who would be unfavorable to me during this time, and asked me to leave immediately when I saw it, and gave me a red bell, saying that if the other party forced me to stay, I could ring the bell for help!
Could it be that what he said was the third uncle in front of him?!
But I always thought that Miss Wei had been calling him the third uncle, so he should also be Wei, isn't that true?!
I was even more apprehensive, and stumbled to ask: "Dare to ask the third master, your surname ......"
As soon as this sentence came out, I realized that it was wrong, and when I asked this, didn't I indirectly admit that I had already met with Bozhong!
Sure enough, the third uncle smiled meaningfully and said, "The contemptible surname is Hu"
My first reaction was that these people were colluding to play me! But think about it again, no, because there is no reason at all, these people are coaxing one by one, and they gang up to tease me as an ordinary person with no identity and no background? It doesn't make sense!
It would be even weirder if it wasn't a conspiracy to play me! My feeling at this time is really that there are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping overhead
How to describe this feeling?
It's like if you're walking down the road and suddenly there's a guy A, and he beats you up, and then forces you to listen to him, and says wait a minute, you're going to run into another guy B, and B is a bad guy, and if you can't beat him, call me to save you, and then pat your ass and leave. You thought A must have come out of a mental hospital, but when you come home, you find that there is really someone waiting for you, and that person says to you, ah, yes, I'm B, but I'm good friends with A, he's joking with you, I'm not going to hit you.
How can I take this? I really feel like it's not that they're playing with me, it's God playing with me! If it is possible, I really want to go back to Beijing immediately to the Lama Temple to put three pillars of incense, and ask God, I am such a simple, harmless and kind person, why do you want me to play?!
A sense of powerlessness rose in my heart, and I was really disgusted and helpless with these people. I'm really annoyed.,What's the trick for everyone to show clearly.,Even if I die, let me die to understand.,This one by one to talk about half of the stinky disease.,Is it still contagious?!
I took a sip of tea and drank it to the sky, and sneered, "Third master, no matter what grievances you have with that master, it really has nothing to do with me, and I can't care about it, right?" That master set up a situation to harm me, and I was unharmed, but my brother was strong and sturdy! Yes, you are all powerful people, and I, a flat-headed little people, can't be provoked and can't beat it, but ...... I've come all the way to you as a junior, can you please tell me everything that happened? You told me, even if I was hit by a car and killed right away, I would be able to die, wouldn't I? You guys are playing with me with a bait tied to a string, hehe, this is a bit unauthentic! ”
I admit that my words are indeed a bit excessive, and some are a little indiscriminate, but once the temper of the singleton comes up, I can't control it so much.
When Brother Wu heard me say this, he stood up and reprimanded: "Jin Hai! Don't be rude! ”
Brother Wu has always taken great care of me, and he has always been caring when he speaks, and he has never spoken so harshly, I already felt guilty about hiding it from him, and the anger was immediately extinguished! But I have already said the words, and it is difficult to collect the water, not to mention that I don't think I am wrong, so I can only lower my head and say no more.
Unexpectedly, the third uncle laughed at this time, picked up the fair cup and poured me a cup of tea himself, "Hahaha is okay, young people should have the anger of young people!" Good! All right! ”
The third uncle said two good words in a row, and I was a little confused by what he said, and I didn't know how to react for a while.
"This little brother Jin is a bright person, he is really likeable! Okay, since you have come all the way to me, the old man will answer all his questions today, and he will never hide it! The third uncle turned his head to look at Miss Wei and Brother Wu, "The little girl took the latter to walk around the garden, Alan planted a small piece of vegetables and vegetables, let her lead you there, pick some and come back at noon to stay and have a meal together."
Miss Wei understood that the third uncle wanted to talk to me alone, and he didn't dare to go against the old man's wishes, so he didn't stay any longer, and went out with Brother Wu.
The door was closed again, and only me and the third uncle were left in the huge study, I was actually a little nervous in my heart, firstly, this old man's aura was too strong, and I could barely calm down with Brother Wu, which would leave me alone to face, and I would inevitably feel worried. Second, because the truth is about to be revealed, I have been confused for so many days, and I can finally know the truth, and at this time it feels like the day when the person sentenced to death finally fell to the day of execution, and he almost stretched out his head and stabbed it!
The third uncle didn't start immediately, but just looked out the window at the "rustle" of the green bamboo, and his expression was a little unpredictable.
I didn't dare to disturb, so I just sat and waited for the old man to speak.
After about half a burnt of incense, the third uncle turned his gaze back and suddenly said, "Let me take a look at your thangka first."
I hurriedly handed it over with both hands. The third uncle's hand trembled slightly, and he took it and slowly stroked the engraving on the cylinder, his expression was difficult to distinguish, but it could be seen that there was a slight excitement in his eyes that had always been calm.
The third uncle rubbed it, sighed, and said slowly: "This thing, in fact, my ancestors also kept it for a while, it was in the empty mountain period of the first hundred years after the last appearance of the twin boys......
"Empty Mountain Period?" I was puzzled.
"Yes, their people call it the Empty Mountain Period. But I'm going to start from the beginning, and I'll ask you a few questions first."
I nodded, "Excuse me!" ”
The third uncle continued to rub the words on the cylinder, and was not in a hurry to open it, "Do you believe the words of ghosts and gods?" ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head, "I didn't believe it before, but during this time, my experience completely subverted my outlook on life, and now I believe it a little."
"Hehe, this is normal, the reason why people don't believe in ghosts and gods is because these things are ethereal, you can't see or touch them. But if you don't believe it, it doesn't mean that there is none, I have been in China for thousands of years, and the theory of ghosts and gods has been around for a long time, and now it has become a system, but it is not completely made up, but there is always some gap with the real existence."
The third uncle then asked the next question, "Since you have believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, do you know where the underworld, one of the Three Realms, is?" ”
I hesitated and pointed to the ground, "Isn't it underground?" ”
The third uncle shook his head mysteriously and continued to ask, "Have you heard of the legend of the Queen Mother of the West?" ”
"I've heard of some, I remember reading the Book of Mountains and Seas There are clouds in the 'Three Hundred and Fifty Miles to the Northwest, called Jade Mountain, which is where the Queen Mother of the West lives. The Queen Mother of the West is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, and she is good at howling and fluffy hoopoe, which is the power of Si Tian and the five remnants, and the others are not too well understood."
The third uncle nodded approvingly, and then said, "Where is the Jade Mountain?" ”
"Kunlun?"
"That's right! It is Kunlun Mountain, and there are clouds in the "Naturalist Chronicles" "The north of Kunlun Mountain turns down 3,600 miles, and there are eight mysterious and secluded capitals, and there are 200,000 miles. There are 3,200 shafts on the ground, and there are records of 'immersion in yellow water' and 'Kunlun weak water', do you have any associations? ”
Yellow water and weak water? Weak waterI know, I once read a version of Journey to the West, which describes that the weak water flies on the dragon and does not come, the feathers can sink to the bottom, only Zhu Bajie has the ability to swim over, this old man said so secretively, it can't be me and talk about Journey to the West, right? !
I thought about it again, and suddenly thought of some connections, and asked hesitantly: "Is it related to Huangquan and Naihe?" ”
The third uncle nodded, "At that time, the description of Kunlun Mountain was completely the prototype of today's underworld, so it is not difficult for us to see that in ancient times, people regarded Kunlun Mountain as the land of the underworld......"
It dawned on me that this was the case!
The third uncle continued: "I don't know if you know this sentence describing the Queen Mother of the West in the Book of Mountains and Seas, have you ever noticed that the Queen Mother of the West has the right of 'Si Tianzhi and Five Remnants'?" 'Powerful and Five Remnants' are all star names, "The Book of Rites? "Moon Order" Zheng Xuanyun, 'In this month, the day is strong, the Pleiades have the gas of the corpses of the Great Tomb, and the ghosts come out with it, it is the Lord of the Great Tomb, and the Pleiades are the Western Lodge, so the West Queen Mother is also 'That is to say, the West Queen Mother is the Lord of Kunlun and has the Division of the Hades. ”
"In addition, there is also a supplementary evidence, as the ruler of the netherworld, in addition to the function of punishment and killing, he should also have the mana or magic weapon of soul rejuvenation or immortality. You should not be unfamiliar with this, there are a large number of classics recorded, in the northwest Kunlun Mountain where the Queen Mother of the West lives, there is an immortal tree, legend has it that this tree blooms for 3,000 years, bears fruit for 3,000 years, and is refined into medicine for 3,000 years. There is a book in the "Reading the Spiritual Training" "Yi invites the medicine of immortality to the Queen Mother of the West, and Chang'e steals to run to the moon, and there is a mourning, and there is no way to continue", and the story of Chang'e running to the moon is spread from here. ”
"So, do you know that in the pre-Qin period, since there were a large number of records that the underworld was in the Kunlun Mountains, why did the concept of the underworld suddenly move to the underground? Where exactly is this underground? ”
I was dizzy when I heard it, and I really wanted to say to the old man, don't look at me as a college student, in fact, in terms of attainments in ancient culture, I am no different from illiterate, you really don't have to be polite to me, what conclusions are not good to say directly, why do you keep using these obscure words to guide me?
I shook my head weakly, saying I really didn't know.
The third uncle probably didn't really think that I would say something, and continued indifferently: "Buddhism was introduced to China during the Han Dynasty, and reached its peak through the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. That is, the punishment. After that, all the word of mouth or the scriptures recorded that the underworld became terrifying. ”
