Chapter 12: Bloodshed
After listening to the master's words, my heart seemed to set off a stormy wave! Because I could never have imagined that there was such a complicated relationship in this.
Seeing my shocked look, the master laughed twice: "What's the matter, don't you feel shocked?" We banknote designers still have such a background, right? Of course, not all those who make paper money can be called dark money designers. You must be able to use divine money and know the Dharma to call this ......"
It is said that the master originally had four brothers in the same family, named Jiang Tian, Jiang Di, Jiang Xuan, and Turmeric. The four of them are like brothers and sisters, and they all follow their ancestors to learn the skills of making dark banknotes. On the surface, they are the largest shop in a prefecture-level city in southern Sichuan that sells paper money, wreaths, couplets and other funeral supplies, and secretly they are a school of inheritance in the Taoist mountain lineage of talismans.
However, as the four brothers grew up, everyone's personality changed and was different. The master himself is calm and atmospheric, and he has the demeanor of a senior brother, and when the master is not there, he is the backbone. The second Jiang Di is honest and simple, loyal, and not good at words. The third Jiang Xuan, with a gloomy and extreme personality, is also an apprentice that the master doesn't like very much. The fourth turmeric is much younger than the three of them, like a little brother.
The complicated growth process and the matter of the master didn't say much, but mainly talked about the grievances between him and the third junior brother Jiang Xuan......
It was fifteen years ago, the master was forty years old, and the master had passed away. The remaining four brothers and sisters split up and opened their own funeral stores in different parts of the local area, which can be regarded as starting their own practice.
One day, Jiang Xuan found his master and said that he had heard that he had found a very strange cemetery outside the city, and every night there was a place that glowed red, like blood. Occasionally, people who passed by on a night walk were so frightened that they didn't dare to approach at all, and gradually there was a rumor that it was haunted. Some people also say that there is a problem with the feng shui of the cemetery, so the ghosts inside are not at peace and make trouble.
The master himself is dealing with this thing, so naturally he is different from those ordinary people. Hearing Jiang Xuan say this, the master frowned and thought for a while: "Third junior brother, listening to your description, could it be...... Bloody?! ”
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, I also think that this may be the blood in the cemetery, this is a good thing, as long as you get it, the nine magic banknotes in the twenty-seven divine banknotes handed down by our master will have the hope of refining.
The master snorted coldly: "Third junior brother, the Divine Paper is a relatively evil method, and the master has never passed it on to us. When you sneaked into the master's house to peek at it, I helped you hide it, and now it is impossible to help you get your hands on the blood. ”
Jiang Xuan seemed to have expected that the master would refuse, so he naturally came prepared, so he was not in a hurry, he just smiled and said, "Senior brother, the master they don't know, but I do." Ten years ago, you went to a village to help, and you met a woman, and you have a daughter, I went to see it not long ago, and they are all nine years old, and they are quite beautiful......"
As soon as this sentence came out, the master's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and the whole person exploded at once. Like a lion who was suddenly awakened, he grabbed Jiang Xuan's collar: "What are you going to do with your turtle son!" Don't mess with my daughter! ”
Jiang Xuan was not angry when he was yelled at by the master like this, but still smiled and said, "It's okay senior brother, their mother and daughter are fine." Look at you, it would have been nice to tell our master about this directly. Again, help me get bloody, everything is easy to say. ”
The master had a gloomy face, let go of Jiang Xuan, and sighed: "Third junior brother, you have been extreme and stubborn since you were a child, I thought you were young and ignorant, how do you know that the more you grow up, the more serious it will be, I knew that you would be like this, I won't stop the master when he wants to drive you away." ”
"Actually, I'm also very grateful for my brother's help, but it's always been my dream to learn the Nine Methods, and I must get my hands on the bloody blood. So, tonight, the coffin shop at the west end of the city has met. Jiang Xuan said with a faint smile, turned around and left, leaving the master in the funeral supplies store with a cloudy face......
When I heard the master talk about this place, I was very curious. In the master's story, there are too many things that I have never heard the master talk about before, including the so-called 27 magic money methods that the master said not long ago when he was treating the fat baby, so I curiously interrupted the master to ask him what these things were.
The master was going to make it clear to me today, so he explained very carefully: "Ordinary people who make paper money will also make dead people's money that is burned to ordinary people." If you have a little bit of Taoism, you will make some low-grade gold and silver money. Only we can call the designer of the dark banknote, not only can make paper money, gold banknotes, silver banknotes, but also make magic money! My master's name is Jiang Long, and the Jiang family has been good at making dark banknotes and some Taoist talismans since the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, due to some special reasons, the Fu Gong branch was divided, and many inheritances appeared, but they were incomplete. In order to avoid the pursuit of the government, the Jiang family hid among the folk craftsmen who made paper money. Of course, it's not just our clan that's doing this, there are a large number of other Dao sects or families that are also doing this. These twenty-seven divine banknote methods are actually part of the Taoist talisman techniques preserved by the Jiang family when the Taoist mountain character vein talisman was split. Because there were a total of 27 kinds at the beginning, it was called the 27 Divine Money Method! ”
I see!
Master's words opened my eyes. Things that I had never imagined before were revealed in front of my eyes little by little. The designer of the dark banknote turns out to have such a deep origin and secret.
"What is that villain's uncle Jiang Xuan asked Master to help you get blood? What does it have to do with the Twenty-Seven Divine Money Method? ”
"The twenty-seven divine banknote methods, according to the difficulty and power of use, are divided into nine upper gates, nine middle gates, and nine lower gates. The specific content is too complicated, you can learn it slowly by yourself, and I won't go into details here. For example, the stand-in paper I used when I rescued the fat baby just now is the simpler one in the lower nine doors. ”
I listened to it in my heart, but I didn't expect that such a miraculous method just now was actually the simplest and lowest level among the twenty-seven divine money methods. How strong is that? It's exciting to think about!
"At the beginning, Jiang Xuan asked me to help refine it, which is one of the more powerful and vicious of the Nine Sects, called the Divine Money. I don't know exactly what the effect is and the refining process. Because there are some poisonous things in the Twenty-Seven Divine Banknote Method, which are too hurtful to the heavens and harmony, your ancestor Jiang Long has not passed on a few of our senior brothers at all. Even if it is handed down, what our four brothers have learned is different, for example, I have learned two kinds of the upper nine courses, two kinds of middle nine courses, and four kinds of lower nine courses. Jiang Xuan's slashing magic money was secretly seen when the master didn't check it. All I know is that refining this kind of divine money requires blood. ”
When the word "bloody" was spoken, the master's face changed slightly, as if he was showing some jealousy and nervousness.
I didn't ask the master what the blood demon was, because I knew that the master would definitely say that it was related to his past with his uncle Jiang Xuan.
The master smoked several puffs of dry tobacco before he spoke in the smoke: "The so-called bloody evil is a kind of powerful ghost, which is very rare. It must be in a place where there is a lot of yin qi and dead qi, at least five pregnant women who are more than eight months pregnant die tragically within three days. The common resentment and blood light of the pregnant woman and the formed fetus, mixed with a large amount of negative energy such as yin qi, dead qi and miasma, and finally the grievance is monstrous and the blood light becomes a disaster, and a large number of lonely souls and wild ghosts become a collection of powerful ghosts! ”
