Chapter 16: Chen Tianshi
Jiang Li asked, but grandma didn't say anything, just shook her head, and then walked into the stove house to cook on the fire.
Grandma ignored Jiang Li, and my father also felt a little embarrassed, looked at Jiang Li apologetically, and then asked: "My mother is a little stubborn, but Master Jiang, are you mistaken, my father is an honest farmer, these things are all used by you, how can my father have these things." ”
Jiang Li handed the seal to his father and said, "Take a good look at this seal." ”
Dad turned over the law seal and looked at it several times, but he didn't see anything, so he asked Jiang Li: "What's wrong with this thing?" ”
Jiang Li pointed to the seal and said: "Yin Niu is the white tiger, the white tiger is the symbol of the heavenly master, the four sides of the seal are engraved with the stars, the sun and the moon, the ornament is engraved with the picture of the heavenly master and the tiger, and the bottom of the seal is engraved with the words 'Chen Tianshi seal', which is clearly the seal of Chen Tianshi." ”
My dad and I were so confused that we couldn't understand it.
Dad said: "But this thing is not necessarily the old man's, the old man is still wearing a Taoist robe, and this magic sword, if he has these things, I should have seen them, these are all put in his coffin after his death." ”
At this time, Jiang Li told me about a past incident of Taoism.
He said: "Zhengyi originated from the Heavenly Master Dao, also known as the Five Bucket Rice Dao, the founder is Zhang Tianshi, and it has been divided into three sects: Maoshan Sect, Pavilion Soap Sect, and Dragon and Tiger Sect, among the three sects, the Dragon and Tiger Sect was originally the strongest, and the Taoist disciples were also the most, but fifty years ago, there was a contradiction at the top of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and the deacons and supervisors in the sect fell apart, resulting in the then head of the sect Chen Tianshi leaving the Dragon and Tiger Sect with the Heavenly Master Seal and the Qiankun Law Sword, and the Dragon and Tiger Sect gradually declined. At that time, the head of the sect surnamed Chen, only served as the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect for one year, and there was no record of the origin and name of this Chen Tianshi in the Dragon and Tiger Sect, if this Chen Tianshi was really Chen Xiao's grandfather, the mystery that had not been solved for fifty years could be solved. ”
"That doesn't prove that my father is this Zhang Tianshi." My father continued to refute, I don't know why, he still didn't want to believe that this Chen Tianshi was my grandfather.
Jiang Li smiled: "Seeing the Heavenly Master Seal and the Qiankun Magic Sword means seeing the Heavenly Master himself, the Heavenly Master's ability is extremely high, and no one can take away these two things, so I want to ask Grandma Chen Xiao about Grandpa Chen Xiao." ”
Dad was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I'll ask." ”
After saying that, he walked into the stove house.
It didn't take long for the sound of my father and grandmother arguing in the house, and this noise frightened the baby in the house, and I started crying.
I was about to get up and take a look, but Jiang Li's eyes asked me to sit down.
After about ten minutes, grandma walked out with the pot, and my father followed behind grandma.
Grandma put the pot next to her and found a place to sit down, stared at Jiang Li with a difficult face, and said: "At that time of communization, I had to earn work and eat, there were too many people in the house, and that little work could not support the family at all, Chen Xiao and his grandfather's three brothers all went out to wander outside, and they went out for three years, I don't know what happened in these three years, after Chen Xiao and his grandfather came back, he gave me a wooden box and asked me to help keep it, and said that no matter what happened, the box could not be opened." ”
"You've seen what's in the box, haven't you?" Jiang Li asked grandma.
Grandma sighed: "Look, it's a robe and two things in your hands, his grandfather gave me a dream to burn the box on the day he lost his breath, I said in my heart that I didn't burn it if I thought about it, where did I know that when I looked at it this morning, the contents of the box were gone." ”
We listened carefully, and that's all Grandma knew.
Grandpa and his three brothers have been out for three years, and no one knows what happened after they went out, but it is obvious that this Heavenly Master Law Seal and this Qiankun Law Sword are my grandfather's things.
Jiang Li said after hearing this: "It seems that your grandfather is the head of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Chen Tianshi, but I don't know why he suddenly left the Dragon and Tiger Sect and went into hiding in this small mountain village. ”
I was shocked by this news, and in my impression, my grandfather was an honest farmer, who went to work in the fields when the weather was good, and took me to all the houses in the village to chat with me when the weather was bad.
Taoist Heavenly Master, how noble his identity is, he can't be combined with the image of a farmer like a grandfather.
I remembered the words on my grandfather's coffin, and immediately told Jiang Li, saying, "Grandpa's coffin has the word King Wu on it." ”
Jiang Li frowned after hearing this, but he didn't dwell on the word Martial King, but rubbed his temples and said, "This matter is troublesome." ”
Dad said, "It's very hot under the coffin, and they have roasted all the oil out of my father's body and run down the coffin, what are these people going to do?" ”
Jiang Li beckoned me over, stared at me a few times, and said, "During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a person named Yin Changsheng, who was a Taoist genius who studied some spells that penetrated the heavens and the earth, integrated them into the book "Reverse Yin and Yang", and handed them over to his disciple Guiguzi for safekeeping. After Yin Chang's death, his disciples sorted out the "Reverse Yin and Yang" and divided it into vertical and horizontal spells, including the art of war, strategy, astrology, and spells, but now the spells derived from this book have long been lost. According to ancient Taoist records, there is a spell in the book of Reverse Yin and Yang to bring the dead back to life, which requires a series of things such as Heavenly Master Oil, Yin Child's Heart, Ghost King Soul, etc., supplemented by a formation to resurrect the dead, if Grandpa Chen Xiao is really that Chen Tianshi, then his oil is Heavenly Master Oil, and the baby in the house, born of the dead and the living, his heart, that is, Yin Child's heart. From what is known so far, someone is using this spell to resurrect someone! ”
We don't know anything about the history of Taoism, and what he says is also mysterious, so we can only be regarded as bystanders.
However, Jiang Li's next sentence pulled me into it, he said: "Heavenly Master Oil, Yin Child's Heart are all there, and the rest is the ghost king's soul, the ghost king is the king of ghosts, and it is said that only Yin Si has a ghost king, and it is not easy to find the ghost king in the yang world, unless it ...... Nourish the soul with the human body. ”
Dad understood Jiang Li's words, stared at my stomach, glared at my eyes and said in shock: "Master Jiang, are you saying that Chen Xiao is the ghost king they raised in his belly?" ”
Jiang Li's face was heavy and he said: "It's me who is careless, so many ghost boys enter his belly, and he will definitely not coexist peacefully, this is the same as Miao Jiang's Gu cultivation, put all the Gu worms together, the last one to survive is the Gu King, and the last one to survive in Chen Xiao's stomach will also be the ghost king." ”
I looked down at my stomach and my heart was pounding.
Jiang Li pressed my shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as the master is here, even if the Nine Shadows Yama comes, I won't let them touch me at all." ”
I nodded, and Jiang Li then said to my father and grandmother, "You stay at home first, I'll take Chen Xiao out for some things." ”
They now regard Jiang Li as the last straw, Jiang Li is whatever he says, and let us leave.
When I went out, I looked up at Jiang Li slightly and asked him, "Master, is my grandfather really a heavenly master?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Li replied with certainty, "There is one thing that I have to tell you, because your grandfather was born as a yin boy, and your grandfather can't escape this matter, or so to speak, your grandfather is one of the masterminds behind this matter." ”
I immediately said, "But my grandfather told us to kill the baby." ”
Jiang Li thought for a while: "Perhaps, he regrets doing these things, but once some things start, they can't end, even if he doesn't do them, there are people who continue to do them." ”
"And who do they want to resurrect?"
Jiang Li didn't answer my question directly, but pointed to the sky and said, "God knows." ”
I was talking and walking with Jiang Li, and before I knew it, I had reached the end of this ditch.
At the end of the ditch is a stone wall, above is a weir pond, but also my mother took me to jump down the weir pond, usually after the weir pond is full, it will open the gate, the water in the weir pond is released, and the perennial months have washed out such a stone wall.
Jiang Li and I stood in front of this stone wall, and Jiang Li said: "This stone wall is not washed out by water, but artificially chiseled, and the more terrifying thing I am talking about is in it." ”
The stone wall is ten meters high and smooth and flat, which would be difficult to chisel out if it were human.
Besides, in front of the stone wall is a waterhole, the waterhole is very deep, and there were children who drowned in this waterhole before, and later the adults in the family regarded this place as a forbidden place, and we were not allowed to come here to play.
At that time, there were good villagers who came here to measure it with bamboo poles, and the waterhole was five meters deep, and the bottom was full of stones.
If it's artificially chiseled, it's hard to figure out what they're doing with it.
"Hold your breath and don't breathe, come down with me and have a look." Jiang Li said to me suddenly, and then let me take a deep breath, he covered my mouth and nose and jumped into the pool.
