Soul Gathering Lamp Primer

June of the fourth year of Xianning

Guangwu earthquakes are frequent, the heavenly master envoy, said that there are river demons in the local rebellion, after Emperor Wu of Jin listened to the letter, sent a secret army to Guangwu overnight, it is said that a branch of this army, dressed not in the armor of the soldiers, but the bright yellow immortal doctor uniform, a full twelve people of the Taoist army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everywhere the group went, it was an ancient Tan in Yuehua Village, Guangwu, Tongyue Tan. It is said that there is a thousand-year-old river demon living here, and every time it breaks out, it will make Guangwu earthquake and shake the mountain.

On the night of the arrival of this army, nine of the twelve Taoists sat cross-legged and chanted mantras in the nine directions of Gu Tan, and it is said that they recited the mantra for 7749 days, without eating, drinking, or moving, and even the lips of the mantra were closed, and only the buzzing sound could be heard coming from the mouth of the dantian, and the scene was very magical.

Why is there only nine people doing it? The Taoist army of twelve people, although one of them is dressed the same as everyone else, but the dust in his hand is like a fairy weapon, with the mantra of everyone, the dust is shaking in the hands of the old Taoist, at first it was only a small trembling, it is not easy to find if you don't look carefully, but the more time passes, the amplitude of the dust trembling gradually increases, and on the 49th, he even needs the support of the two Taoists around him, one left and one right, in order to be able to stabilize the body of the cross-legged.

On the night of forty-nine days later, the moon was like a light and shallow hook, embellished in the sky, and the lights on the side of Gu Tan were swaying more fiercely than before, and a general with a noble posture and high spirits, dressed in copper-gray armor, walked to Lao Dao's side and asked in a low voice, "How?" ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and his white beard and white hair shook lightly with this movement, and he hung down obediently for a while, thinking that he had passed a gust of wind without paying attention.

After a while, the old Taoist said four words with the breath of dantian: "Let's look at tonight." ”

As soon as the words fell, a quiet ancient Tan water surface, all the Suo Suo flooded countless blisters, these blisters are as big as the size of a little thumb fingernail, "rustling" sounded, with this change, Tan Bian 9 Taoists jumped up together, tightened their minds and did it loudly, Huang Fu was thrown into the water like snowflakes, the blisters became bigger and bigger, the sound became louder and louder, and the water surface was like a shower pouring down. This state lasted for three hours, with the largest blisters like an adult's head and the loudest sounds, like the sound of a landslide.

The two little Taoists beside Lao Dao had already shaken out a few blood lines from their mouths and noses, but they still closed their eyes and stabilized the dust. In the end, only to hear the sound of "bang" on the water surface, the water column soared into the sky, and the old Tao flew away with the dust, and the water column and a mass of white as a veil in the water column were all collected into the dust.

The variables are only in a moment, and the movements of the old way are extremely clean and neat, and if the generals and soldiers behind him blink at this time, they may not be able to see the mass wrapped in the water column.

The general who had talked to Lao Dao before couldn't wait to come to Lao Dao's side, and his surprise was overflowing: "It's done, it's done, it's done." ”

The dust that trembled violently before, now hung loosely on the side of the old road's arm, as if the previous forty-nine days were just a dream. The general couldn't wait to come up and watch the dust, but was blocked by Lao Dao: "Not now, the demonic spirit has not been extinguished, and I need to wait for seven days to wait and let it happen." ”

The general was already looking at the old Taoist, and hurriedly ordered someone to clean up a secluded place for the Taoists to take turns guarding.

If you want to say that the demon is a big thing, "collecting" is a big head, accounting for eighty percent of the success, and the "town" is relatively simple, as long as you look at the dust and don't touch it, there will be no big deal. Lao Dao was very relieved about these disciples, and in addition, he spent too much mana, so he went back to the camp with the general to rest.

The 9 Dao people who were in charge of chanting the mantra before the Dao Army were divided into three groups to take turns guarding, and they had done too much of this kind of thing before, although the demon power was not as powerful as this one, but since it had been subdued, there would not be too much difference, so no one took the vigil too seriously.

After six days in this way, on the seventh day, the sergeants had begun to pack up their equipment and prepare to set off, and it had been almost two months since they came to this poor place with mountains and bad waters, and there were many people who were not accustomed to the water and soil. This last round of demon guards are two senior brothers of the Tianzi generation and one junior brother of the other generation. These two senior brothers are in the Taoist temple on weekdays, this time it is enough to follow the elder out of the mountain, and on the last day is obviously a little irritable, plus this army later fished up a lot of treasures in Gu Tan, I heard that the last day is ready to be distributed to the people of their Taoist army.

The two senior brothers were afraid that the good things would be picked up, so they couldn't sit still anymore after noon, and after telling the little brother not to let his eyes light up, they secretly went down the mountain and went straight to the barracks.

This Beyou Taoist is used to being bullied by his senior brothers on weekdays, and he doesn't care very much, he just holds his breath and concentrates, looking at the dust, and doesn't think about anything. After half an hour like this, there was a sudden thunderstorm in the sky, and then it was cloudy for a while, so I didn't panic, I took out a large piece of oilcloth from my side, and covered it around the dust, as if I had built a small house for this dust.

In the past, when I was catching demons with the elders, I dealt with it like this on rainy days, and I sat back in my place after everything was done, and I was calm again. At this moment, the whisk seemed to move, and he couldn't help but be startled, stared at it for a long time, and was about to think that he was dazzled, but the whisk moved again.

Don't be shocked by this, jump up and put on a posture of being ready for battle.

After a while, there was a burst of sobbing in the dust, and the voice was a girl, and the crying voice was extremely soft.

Don't be shocked: "Demon, be honest." ”

The sobbing sound seemed to pause, and then I heard the girl's voice coming: "Xiaodaoren, you have all been deceived by the elder, their real intention is not to collect demons, there is an ancient magic lamp in this waterhole, I am just the soul of this magic lamp, a few years ago your emperor did not know where to hear about this waterhole, so he often sent troops to commit, this time it is in the name of collecting demons to try to obtain the treasure, I know that the soul will be separated, and I will tell you the truth with the last wisp of hairspring, the ancient magic lamp must be ignited with blood after leaving the waterhole, Otherwise, the sky will collapse, and the lives of the people of Guangwu will be in danger. I hope that the Taoist must light the magic lamp, and the lives of all the people will be in your hands. ”

After that, the girl seemed to have experienced heart-rending pain, and screamed violently, and after a while, the sound was gone, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed in an instant, and I couldn't help but hear the sound of the senior brother and others running up the mountain in a hurry.

When I turned around, I saw that it was the elder who rushed up the mountain with a group of senior brothers, and the two senior brothers who had just suppressed the demon with Beyou were following behind, and it seemed that they had sneaked down the mountain and were discovered by the elders.

Lao Dao first ran to the stone steps to check the dust, and saw that there was no change in the dust, so he sighed with relief, turned around and asked, "What strange things can happen?" ”

This old Taoist just ran up from the barracks, wearing a new set of Ming zodiac robes, the cuffs and waist are sewn with gold thread, at first glance it looks extravagant, his outfit is a gift from the noble general, and don't grow up in the view since childhood, I haven't seen anything in the world, and I was shocked by this dress at once.

Then he remembered what the girl in the dust had just said, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and the words turned between his lips and teeth, and then he lied, and said to the old man: "It's okay, everything is as usual." ”

Lao Dao turned around and reprimanded the two senior brothers, and then instructed the other senior brothers to look at the dust together, and greeted him: "You go to the bottom of the mountain to rest and eat something." ”

Don't help but think about the ancient lamp in your heart, so you also went down the mountain with the elders.

The army sent by Emperor Wu of Jin was a royal army, and they did catch a lot of treasures in Gu Tan, but they didn't know that the ancient artifact that the emperor said was a lamp, so they piled up all the treasures in the box and prepared to go back to the court to ask the heavenly master to distinguish them.

That noble general is used to seeing treasures on weekdays, and he doesn't really care about these, he came out so much in order to add an official to the knighthood after returning to the division, although the old way repeatedly told him to take care of the things caught in the ancient Tan, he only dialed a few relatives to take care of it.

Said to be a caretaker, not really, the soldiers almost all went to these treasures to watch, but it was one of the 9 ways of catching demons, after he returned to the barracks, he found out where the treasures were stored, and went over to see.

There are really a lot of treasures, all the boxes brought have not been loaded, and some inconspicuous treasures are still scattered on the stone steps outside the boxes. Among them is a bronze lamp, the size of a child's fist, composed of seven hollow small lamps, in the middle is a coiled dragon pillar, the bottom is a phoenix bathed in blood, in that dynasty is an ordinary style to see.

At first, he didn't think that this lamp was the ancient magic lamp that the dust demon girl said, so he went to the boxes and rummaged through them, but there was really no artifact, it was the shape of the lamp. Don't help but focus on the bronze lamp again, he squatted down and looked carefully at the lines on the lamp, and found that there was a sharp thorn in the mouth of the coiling dragon on the coiling dragon pillar that adsorbed the seven openwork lanterns.

Don't let this person actually be very simple, he grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, and his biggest trouble was just being robbed of a few buns by his senior brother, so he had already made up his mind at this time to "save the people and water and fire", and without much hesitation, he stretched out his finger to the dragon's mouth on the bronze lamp. The stinging sensation under the action of a needle is actually not strong, don't just feel the itch of your fingers, look down, "ho" eyes wide, the sharp needle in the dragon's mouth down, until the dragon pattern is dense, has been densely packed with silk threads full of bright red blood, blood from the dragon pattern swimming, rapid spread all over the ancient lamp body, and finally fell to the base of the tray on the phoenix bath blood map, don't help but feel half of the arm is numb, but the fingers seem to be bitten by the dragon's mouth, the skin and the tip of the needle are tightly adhered to, how to separate. Until the blood dyed all the fire in the phoenix bath red, the bronze lamp suddenly flashed, and the seven hollow lampshades turned like a turntable that had been activated, and at the same time, the seven wicks in the hollow lamp all lit up.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and a burst of azure waterspouts rose from the depths of Gu Tan, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, and the soldiers who were originally ready to attack at the bottom of the mountain were swept into the water column one after another.

Don't be dumbfounded, and sit on the ground with a weak body. One by one, the soldiers and horses were swept into the sky, and they couldn't help but feel that they were in trouble, and hurried to the old man's tent.

But where are the old tents, which have been swept into the water hose along with the chariots and horses. Don't help holding your head and grabbing the rocks fiercely, and fainted after a while.

Don't wake up, people are still on the edge of the waterhole, the sky is blue and blue, as if it has been washed by water, and a few white clouds are lazily falling in the sky, making people feel leisurely.

After a while, I remembered everything like a soul returning to my place, and I couldn't help but sit up at once, only to feel that my back hurt, as if I had been flattened, and I was a little dizzy.

He settled down, twisted his neck to look around, it didn't matter, not far away a girl in green clothes was smiling at him, the girl he had never seen before, the azure clothes and the waterhole were the same color, if you didn't look carefully, you thought that only one face was outside the water.

"Are you awake?" The girl approached him, asking him as she went.

As soon as he spoke, he couldn't help but hear it, wasn't this the voice made by the dust demon girl? I yelled in my heart that it was not good, it seems that I was fooled, and he doesn't know if he can bless the people after the lamp is lit, but he will definitely be able to release this demon girl.

But no matter how you blame yourself, you can't afford to be angry in your heart, because the girl in Tsing Yi is so beautiful, and she has a smart state, which makes people feel that she is natural, and she can't be compared with a demon at all, but like an elf who only transforms into the world.

It turned out that this girl in Tsing Yi had never lied, she was born to guard this ancient magic lamp, and it took thousands of years to transform into a soul. The lamp soul is grateful not to save each other, and the seven wandering spirits in the seven lampshades transform into the seven spirits of the human body, and finally appear as a girl. And don't use blood to light up the ancient lamp, it will be connected to the soul of the ancient lamp, people are burning the lamp, people go to the lamp to extinguish, if the lamp is extinguished, the girl in Tsing Yi who has transformed into a human form will also be wiped out.

Don't bear the girl's ashes, voluntarily stay in Yuehua Village, and live by the water. and the girl in Tsing Yi became a fairy couple. A few years later, the two gave birth to a pair of children, and the family lived in seclusion in Yuehua Village, no different from ordinary people.

However, Emperor Wu of Jin was not reconciled, and once again invited the Heavenly Master to go out of Beijing and went straight to Yuehua Village. The girl in Tsing Yi felt the throbbing of the magic lamp, and knew that it was impossible to escape this catastrophe, so she told the secret of the ancient magic lamp according to the truth, it turned out that the seven carved lanterns on the magic lamp were called "soul gathering lamps", which can collect the world's wandering souls, the more wandering souls collected, the stronger the power of the lamp will be, and the people who have the soul gathering lamp will be able to dominate the power will also be very strong.

The girl of the green lantern was afraid that it would be a disaster for the world if the wicked people obtained the soul gathering lamp, so she removed the seven soul gathering lamps from the dragon pillar and handed them to Bu You, so that she could escape from Yuehua Village with her children. And told him that although he would be wiped out, the seven soul-gathering lamps could guide him to take his wandering soul back to the ancient lantern, and then he would be able to come back to life and reincarnate as a human.

Don't help but listen to his wife's advice and flee with his children. But until the end of his life, he couldn't collect all the souls of the green lantern girl. In the last few years of his life, he gathered five young men with extraordinary virtues, and together with his own sons and daughters, they took the soul lamp to the road in seven directions to collect the last lamp soul in the world.

In the end, it is a mystery whether you see your beloved wife or not, this story has been passed down from generation to generation, but anyone who is engaged in Feng Shui Yin Yang Tao has heard it more or less. The name of Beyou was spread at the end of the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when there was a Maoshan Taoist priest named Hui Kao, who claimed that the ancestor was Beyou, and also confirmed the existence of the soul lamp, according to historical records, Hui Kao was burly, his strength was surprising, his limbs seemed to have divine power, he could see stones through the mountains, he could float and walk, and a stone lamp often fell on his chest, and the lamp was not extinguished when he walked.

Also in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a general under the command of Xu Huaqing, the governor of Fujian land, surnamed Feng Mingge, was Xu Huaqing in Qinghai to quell the rebellion, in the battle of Maqing Snow Mountain won a good general, it is said that this person can walk sideways, without the help of both hands can walk on foot on the cliff, this person is as light as a swallow, the skeleton is surprising to be able to imitate the animal to run, when encountering wolves in the snow mountain, this person limbs linkage, with the wolves and run wildly, the wolves are the head. Like Hui Kao, Feng Ge also has a bronze pendant on his chest, which is not extinguished by external force.

During the same period, there were two strange powers, and they both wore inextinguishable bronze lamp pendants on their chests, which couldn't help but attract the attention of all walks of life in the government and the opposition at that time, so the rumors about Beyou and the seven soul-gathering lamp disciples began to diverge.

Among them, the most widely spread in the yin and yang world is the saying "lamp soul dies", which probably means that collecting these seven lamp pendants can bring people back to life.

Of course, since ancient times, all dynasties and generations have had the existence of the elixir of "immortality" or "resurrection from the dead", but with the passage of time, time has also confirmed that these elixirs are to deceive those emperors and nobles.

It is still unknown whether the Soul Gathering Lantern can break the law of life and death, but time has proved another point, the Soul Gathering Lantern and the people who wear the Soul Gathering Lantern pendant, whether in the world or in Feng Shui Yin and Yang, are considered to be outliers.
