Chapter 40: The Bardo House

"Little brother, you must be wrong, I still know a little bit about your brother in this bardo house, and I have also run the way of the bardo house before. How can what we see now be a bardo house? The bald head said disdainfully to the old cat.

I whispered to the bald head what is the matter with the underworld? He just said it succinctly, that is, a house for the dead.

But after the bald head finished speaking, he was immediately denied by the old cat. After that, the old cat told us about the bardo house in detail.

The so-called "bardo house" is not a yang house where the living live, nor a yin house where the dead live, but a house in between, where the living and the dead live together. In Gu Shenzi's "Bo Yizhi", it was recorded that the bardo house: "There is a bardo house in Chang'an, which lives in the south and faces the north, and there is often a fire in it, and the fearful dare not approach." ”

The strangeness of this kind of house is that it uses the yang energy of the living person to supply the yin energy in the house, and then uses the yin energy in the house to supplement the production of yang energy, so that the two reach a uniform state, that is, there is yin in yang, and yin with yang. For ordinary people, the yang energy on the body is usually very prosperous, except for people with yin in the eight characters, there is almost no yin energy on the body of ordinary people.

Of course, this does not include those who are about to die. Some people in the future of calamity, although they seem to be unharmed, but if you look closely at their faces, you will find that this kind of people, their seals are ivory-shaped dark yellow spots, and there are all kinds of abnormalities in the twelve signs of the face, and the prominent manifestation is the phenomenon of disorder in the palace sequence. This kind of person has yin qi in his body, and the yin qi is concentrated in the center of the eyebrows, which will affect people's spirit or physical health, which lays the groundwork for the next catastrophe. Experienced Mr. Xiangmian will dissolve the yin qi for those who have light yin qi. But those who have a very heavy yin energy in their bodies will tell the truth that this is the destiny of heaven, and there is nothing they can do about it, so that they can arrange the afterlife.

And people who live in this kind of bardo house, the yang energy and yin energy on the body complement each other, sometimes the yin energy is occupied, sometimes the yang energy is occupied, and the whole person is also in a state of alternating people and ghosts, sometimes for people, sometimes for ghosts, and can wander in the two worlds of yin and yang. In the Yin-Yang Technique, this kind of person is called "Ear Man". Since ancient times, the most well-known ear people, is shuttling through the two worlds of yin and yang, catching the black and white impermanence of lonely souls, according to the thief, the two of them are also known as the black and white second master, many thieves who have turned to rob the tomb, every time before going to the ground, they will worship the black and white second master. In addition, there are some people who seek immortals and cultivators, and they will also use magic to turn themselves into this kind of ear person, the purpose is actually very simple, that is, to extend their life expectancy conditionally.

It does not mean that as long as the dead and the living are placed together, the living will become eared people, and the house they live in will become a bardo house.

First of all, to build a bardo house, it is necessary to choose an address, to put it simply, all places that meet the living conditions of the yin house or the yin house are not suitable for the construction of the bardo house, because this kind of place cannot maintain the yin and yang qi in a balanced state, so that one of the yang or yin qi will occupy a dominant position, so as to achieve the purpose of balancing the two in the bardo house.

Therefore, like the place where we are at this time, not only is the yin qi heavier, which is the land of extreme yin, but also the terrain qi veins are broken and the shape is not continuous, this kind of place is the most suitable place for the construction of the bardo house. In this kind of place, if you build a yang house or a yin house, it is not possible to build a small foundation and build the foundation of the house. In most cases, the house will collapse shortly after it is built. The reason is very simple, whether it is to build a yang house or a yin house, it is necessary to make the yang or yin qi dominate, such as the yin house, the yin and yang qi can not be fixed, the house will lack the main body of the "qi", the house is short of gas, and the shape is only a matter of time.

Moreover, the living and the dead in the bardo mansion are related by blood! Because only when the two are related by blood, can the yang and yin qi between them better complement each other. In the bardo house, most of them use the corpses of their deceased ancestors as an introduction to refining corpses, solidifying the corpses on the "nine balconies", and covering their faces with nine forbidden copper faces to prevent the corpses from suddenly rising in the process of refining corpses. Every ninety-nine eighty-one days, it is necessary to refine the corpse for 7749 days, without interruption, and after repeating it nine times, the corpse refining will be effective. Some feng shui masters who are crazy about prolonging their lives even do not hesitate to refine their children into living corpses, because children have extremely high spirituality, so in this kind of bardo house, the ear people are easier to cultivate, and the yin and yang in the bardo house are also more balanced.

If ordinary people live in the bardo house, they will be unwell and die violently after a few days, or they will affect their children and grandchildren, or cut off their children and grandchildren. It is recorded in Sui Fei's "Persona": "There is a bardo house in Lixian County, and a senior Confucian and several guests stay in it. At night, I heard the sound of dialing outside the window, and I didn't stay overnight for the time being, so it was broken. ”

The old cat pointed to the location of the door and the eaves and told us that if we look closely, it is obvious that this house has been renovated, and this house should have had two doors before, so there will be two pull marks on the threshold, which is what was left when the door was installed. The two doors here are supposed to be "return doors". It is a kind of door that is used to distinguish the path of yang and yin people. The first door is called the "heavy gate", and this second door is called the "return gate". According to the old saying, this heavy door can only enter but not out, and the return door is just the opposite, it can only go out but not enter. Whether it is a person or a ghost, they can enter through the heavy gate, but this time the door is different, and only corpses can be walked through the door, so on both sides of the door, there is a gap for one person to pass through. The gap at the top of the door was set up for the corpse's ghost to pass through. The corpse has a soul but no soul, and the yin soul has a soul without a soul, and the two cannot pass through the door at the same time, so there is such a design, and the yin soul can only pass through the gap.

It is said that Wu Ping, the king of Wuping, among the ten kings of the underworld, is the city of vain death under his control, and the city gate is this kind of return gate. In fact, the heavy door and the return door should be in two opposite directions that are far apart, so that it can also be convenient for people to enter and exit freely, and there is no restriction on only entering and not exiting or only entering and exiting. Or two doors are joined together, that is, the heavy door is covered with the return door, so that the "double door" is formed, and this kind of door can also enter and exit freely.

The house was not originally a dome octagonal design, but a "sun roof" structure, and these eight corners were all changed on it when it was remodeled again. So you can see the color of the eight corners of the roof, which is a little darker than the dome in the middle.

The "Sun Roof" structure is also one of the symbols of the bardo house, and in this structure, the edge of the roof is no more than seven steps away from the center. The distance of seven steps is precisely for the soul to return to the soul. After death, the first seven can return to the soul. If there are people who practice alchemy, after refining the corpse in the past few days, the yin soul will borrow the corpse to return the soul, so that the corpse can remain in a state of bardo body. And the structure of the sun top is to gather corpse qi.

In Lao Mao's opinion, the houses here were built at least once as bardo houses, but they were later forcibly changed. In his professional terms, it is the feng shui that breaks the bardo house.

Before the old cat finished speaking, Lin Xihui suddenly interrupted him and asked him in a low voice, "Is there a possibility that the original layout and structure of the entire village of Tassi was in the way of the bardo house, I said it simply, that is, is it possible that Tassi is a "large" bardo house?!" ”
