Chapter Eighty-Eight: Preserving the Dead and Prolonging Life

As the sun sets, it's warm.

On this day, Tianyou passed through a village and town, and suddenly felt that the corpses in a manor were angry!

The courtyard of this manor is tall and the gate is closed, and Tianyou finds that there is a corpse in the courtyard through the eye of heaven, so he knocks on the door to find out.

After knocking for a long time, a butler-like figure opened the door.

"May I ask what the strong man is knocking on the door?" The butler asked.

"I saw that the corpse of your house was angry, so I came to ask if I could help." Saying that, Tianyou made a Taoist bow.

When the butler heard this, after a brief period of surprise, he nodded and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go and tell the master." ”

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to walk out again, bow down and salute, "Master Dao, my lord is invited!" Come in! ”

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, Tianyou felt unusual, the courtyard here was deep, slightly dilapidated, and lifeless. The layout of the entire courtyard is laid out according to the Liujia Military Avoidance Bureau in Qimen Dunjia, so such a large mansion of hundreds of years can be maintained for so long in the troubled times of the year without being destroyed by the war, but this is not the strangest thing, because generally speaking, it is not uncommon for people who know Taoism to use Taoism to set up the situation at home, but this skyrocketing corpse is incomprehensible.

As he walked into the small courtyard of the deep house, Tianyou couldn't help but be surprised, lush green bamboo, green dyed bones cold, hairy leaves, west wind together, echoing with birdsong, biting good sound. Tianyou looked at the small pond not far away, the golden water halo, the reflection of green bamboo, and the clear and bright light are intertwined, which is the feng shui pattern of Fenglaiyi, which can ensure the safety of the house.

Feng Shui focuses on nourishing words, harmonizing yin and yang, condensing into a magnetic field, and accumulating over time, blessings and longevity are continuous, but there is nothing that can be done about the infinite changes in the future. The reason is very simple, the feng shui pattern transforms into a small world, but someone still needs to suppress it, and the unity of heaven, earth and man is the great consummation. Only people can adjust according to future changes, and if people have problems, no matter how good the feng shui pattern is, it is a dead thing.

Now the corpse in this disaster is angry, and the pattern of Fenglaiyi in the garden is just a decoration, in the final analysis, the feng shui pattern is just the icing on the cake, and it cannot be sent in the snow.

Halfway through, the housekeeper asked Tianyou to wait in the hall first, and then went to ask the master to come out.

So Tianyou sat in the hall, quietly waiting for the arrival of the master, and after a while, the owner of the house walked out with the support of the housekeeper, and he was not young, at least sixty years away, his eyes were deeply sunken, and he could see that he had not slept well for many days.

The master sat down, and no one served tea, which was a miracle that there was not even a servant in such a large house on weekdays.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, the master always looked like he wanted to talk and stopped, Tianyou was in a hurry, so he simply picked out the words and asked the master directly: "Presumably the old man is also a member of the Xuanmen, I don't know why the corpse at home is angry?" If you need help, you are willing to help! ”

When the master heard Tianyou's explanation, he sighed helplessly and said, "Then you can come in with me and have a look." ”

Passing through the hall, there is an altar, and the doors and windows of the wings on both sides are locked. Tianyou observed the ground while walking, and saw that there was a thick layer of lime on the ground, and the master did not lead Tianyou to the altar, but asked someone to open the door of the left wing room and let Tianyou see it himself.

As soon as the door of the wing room opened, there was a person who was heavily bound by cinnabar rope lying on the bed in the door, and there were still corpse charms hanging on the tents on both sides of the bed.

The master stood at the door and coughed, beckoned Tianyou to go out with him, came to the hall and sat down again, the master said: "Now you should know why the corpse is angry, right?" ”

Tianyou nodded and said: "It's not difficult for the old man to deal with a walking corpse, why put the corpse in the room and not deal with it?" "Tianyou obviously didn't take this matter to heart.

But the master's last sentence made Tianyou's heart tremble, and the master burst out of his mouth a few words: "The corpse on the bed is my wife." ”

It turned out that the owner of this house went out on a long business trip three months ago and didn't go home for half a month. But when he returned home, he was greeted by three corpses, one large, two and two small, his wife and two sons had been assassinated two days ago.

In this case, even a cultivator couldn't control his emotions, and cried at the corpse of the old and young in the middle of the night, but in the second half of the night, he came up with a way that he usually didn't dare to think of to protect the corpse and prolong his life.

The so-called preservation of the corpse and prolonging life is to use the herbs of Qimen to prevent the corpse from decaying, and then use Taoism to bring back the soul that has left the body and return to the body, so as to bring the dead back to life. This kind of magic has always been only seen in ancient books, and has never been seen in real life to do it, and it is also recorded in the classics that this method greatly hurts the heavens and the peace, so it is useless to carry it, if it is forcibly used, the present world will fall, and the punishment after death belongs to the forbidden art.

However, the owner of this family began to prepare, the herbs are stored in his own cellar at home, so there is no need to buy or pick them, but to support the corpse, there must also be lime and charcoal to absorb yin qi, which is why when Tianyou walked to the back hall, he found a thick layer of lime on the ground.

Everything was ready, and the owner of the house soaked the three corpses into three large vats, put in the herbs, burned them alive, and when the corpses were finished, they were scrubbed clean, placed on the bed, and began to summon spirits.

If you have just died, the soul has not gone far, but it has been dead for two or three days, I am afraid that the soul has already arrived in the ghost gate, and it will not be easy to chase it back, so the master recruited in the vicinity for a long time and did not recruit, and finally had to get out of the yin by himself, to find their mother and son, and I don't know where, and finally found their mother and son, and took their mother and son back to yang.

After some formalities, it was not easy to redirect their souls to their bodies, but in the three days after they were introduced, the soul union was not very stable, so they had to cover their souls with a seven-star lamp, so as to avoid the soul leaving the body again.

But in these three days, the situation did not go as smoothly as the master thought, although the corpse returned to its soul, but it did not regain consciousness, although it breathed, but it did not think. On the third day, as soon as the seven-star cover was removed, the owner was shocked, although the man was alive, but he was not popular, in short, he was a walking corpse.

The master only understood at this time that the records in the classics were not complete, probably for fear of indiscriminate use by future generations, so there were some key steps that were not written, and now people are alive, but they are no different from dead people, and the terrible thing is that once the walking corpse is refined, if you want to keep it, you have to drink blood. In order to prevent the spread of the situation in the house, the master sent all the servants home, and went out every day to find fresh dead people, and fed the mother and son with blood, on the one hand, to see if there was any other way to cure them.

After a period of time, the three of them did not get better, but intensified, seeing that they couldn't hold it down, the master had to endure the pain in addition to his two sons, but in the face of his own wife, but how to do it, the wife and he were both in a master to learn art, childhood sweethearts, and finally married by the master to become husband and wife, for decades, supporting each other, and now to get rid of it by himself, it is really unbearable. But keeping it at home, one day raising a tiger will be a problem, so it has been delayed until now.

The ins and outs of the matter have finally been figured out.

Tianyou couldn't help but think of Nalan Bingruo, if he used the method of preserving the corpse and prolonging his life, Bingruo would definitely hate himself, and he would live by sucking human blood and stealing, it would be better to die!

"Old man, if it is late, there will be changes, you have to think about it carefully, becoming a walking corpse is probably more painful than dying!" Tianyou sighed.

"Maybe this is the will of God, the old man himself is really difficult to start, hey, I hope that Daoyou will do this for the old man!" The owner of the house hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying.

Tianyou nodded and said, "The old man really understands the righteousness!" Saying that, Tianyou took out three silver needles from the treasure bag, went to the wing, the master walked to the outer hall and waited, half an hour did not arrive, Tianyou walked to the outer hall, asked the master to see, at this time the master saw a complete corpse.

After the matter was done, Tianyou was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye and left, and the host had no intention of keeping guests, so he thanked Tianyou again, and let the housekeeper send Tianyou out.

However, when Tianyou was resting in the inn, he heard an unusually noisy sound!
