Chapter Ninety-Six: The Wolf and the Sheep
According to the elders of Feng Qiyun, there are four jade rings left by Jiang Ziya in this world, which record the nine hexagrams in the last hexagram, which are said to be able to understand the heavens and be omnipotent. After Jiang Ziya's death, he hid these nine hexagrams in four jade rings, the first of which had been taken by the fat man from the dream, and the second was obtained in the underground palace of the Yin Mountain Dharma Vein in Hongcun, for these two jade rings Cha Wenbin did not pay too much attention to it, and only carried it with him as an object, he knew that he could not solve the mystery by himself, but he didn't expect that the whereabouts of the third one would be so soon.
It is unknown how credible Ye Huan's words are, but he is a good person, and he has always kept his promises. Now that he is threatening the Miao family, he is just looking for a random reason, but after the Yuan Qinghua was thrown to the ground and shattered into countless pieces with a "snap", Cha Wenbin has begun to dislike their way of doing things.
Cha Wenbin got up and said, "I don't want to see you, please go away, there is not enough reason to convince me in this matter." ”
"Why?" Ye Huan tilted his head slightly and said, "As far as I know, your wife seems to be pregnant, check boy, congratulations, you will be a father soon, it's really gratifying!" ”
Like a thunderbolt, Cha Wenbin didn't even know it, with a flustered look on his face, Ye Huan said: "Don't worry, since it's a happy event, everyone is happy, but you should understand that the father and son repay the debt, there are some things that you can do, why be so stubborn like Old Man Ma." ”
Walking out of this door, Cha Wenbin's heart was mixed, there were joys and worries, happy that he was about to become a father, and worried about the last sentence of Huan, "The Taoist priest hunts ghosts and ghosts all day long, and in the end, you can't catch a ghost fetus by yourself?" This sentence is threatening, Cha Wenbin knows that if he attacks the baby in his womb who has not yet landed, it is impossible to prevent it, and if Ye Huan's cultivation really wants to do this kind of thing, he has no choice. Now that I have become a family, I didn't expect it to become my own fetters, maybe this is a sign that a man is slowly beginning to mature.
Where is Yuhuan? I don't know!
Everything depends on themselves, back in the tunzi, Miao Lan specially caught an old hen and prepared to kill and stew for them to eat, but Cha Wenbin said: "Is there a rooster?" ”
Miao Lan was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." "Kill the rooster, keep the hen, and the chicken blood will help me put it in this jar."
Cha Wenbin was sharpening wooden skewers in the yard, which were all sawn down from peach trees, two inches long, the fat man was sweating, handed over a glass of water and said, "Cha Ye, let's just go to the pit, don't be so nervous, right?" ”
"I always think there's something wrong with that fox," Cha Wenbin stopped and said, "Stone, every time my fox's eyes are blank, I think that the fox can have the ability to take people's hearts." ”
"That chicken blood is evil spirits." "It's not all, the fox loves to eat chicken the most, that thing is useless to it, it is said that there used to be a nine-tailed fairy fox in this Qingqiu country, but everything that goes out of the horse is completely different from the Taoist gods and ghosts I have come into contact with, the power of shamanic witchcraft is that they are almost pervasive in mind control, making people unguardable, and all kinds of insects, birds and beasts that you think are inconspicuous may be deadly."
For example, you and I both know Maoshan Taoists, there is never a shortage of Nanyang head-lowering techniques in film and television works, there are about two billion people in this world who believe in Christianity, and there are also one billion Buddhists, as well as halal Islam. Compared to these well-known religions, another sect called shamans is always easily associated with witchcraft superstitions, and the word "dancing god" is the best explanation, wearing masks, dressed in colorful costumes, lighting a raging fire in front of the altar, chanting incantations that no one understands, and body movements are both exaggerated and frightening, perhaps this person is the old king of the village, an authentic peasant who is idle at home on weekdays. But he said he could communicate with the gods.
As everyone knows, shamans are one of the most primitive religions, in that era when there was no science, they were able to divinate and seek medicine, and they were able to pray that they were the founders of ancient medicine, and the only way to communicate with nature.
In modern times, shamanism is one of the least well-known religions, and its history far exceeds that of the three major religions, and even the origin of local Taoism is inseparable from it. Everything that is natural to the forces of nature, including wind and clouds, water and fire, trees, animals, is alive in the eyes of the shaman, and in that distant era of theocracy, the high priest was the head of the tribe, and the totem was the symbol of the spirit. Now that shamanism is in decline and little known, it doesn't mean that they have disappeared completely......
The origins of the Northeast, with its finest black soil and the best grain in the country, have long been a mystery, and it is one of the few places where shamanism can survive to this day.
In the night, several figures touched the sand again, opened the covered entrance, and the breath of death suddenly rushed to the face. Dozens of lives have fallen under this thin soil, if there is no resentment, then there is really a bodhisattva living in the soil.
Holding a handful of incense, Cha Wenbin bowed around the entrance, which is called worshipping the mountain. Each mountain has its own mountain god and land, Savage Tun is no exception, there was originally a land temple and mountain temple here, people who rely on the mountain to eat the mountain will always burn incense and worship during the New Year's Festival, but unfortunately, those clay sculptures and temples have been destroyed a few years ago.
This is a large handful of incense, about a dozen sticks, a circle of worship, the fire of the incense head can be described as prosperous. The fat man thought that this was a procedure for no one to go through three roots, but Cha Wenbin put the incense at the entrance of the thief cave and shook it twice, at this time, a strange scene happened:
The smoke from this incense does not go up, but "swishs" and has to drill down, as if there is a suction force below, but in fact there is not even the slightest wind.
The fat man whispered, "Dad, there are still ghosts down here." ”
No one knows if there is a ghost, but if it is not clean, it is certain, Cha Wenbin took the incense and inserted it into the ground next to the entrance, and every time he inserted it, he would leave a plum blossom-like pattern, which is the "plum blossom pile"!
After about seven or eight insertions in a row, Cha Wenbin stopped, and he still carefully observed the pattern formed on the ground. The incense has its own length, and the color and quantity of the incense dots left on the ground are different each time, which means that there will be different results. By observing the number and color left by each handful of incense, with the Yin and Yang Nine Palaces Technique, this is a method used by the plum blossom to ask for directions, which belongs to a more clever type of divination in Taoism.
While pinching his fingers and frowning, Cha Wenbin kept wandering at the entrance of the cave, until after a cigarette, Father Miao was a little anxious, so he asked: "Wenbin, what is the result of your dangling?" ”
Cha Wenbin shook his head and said: "One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, between swings, blessings and disasters are unpredictable." This hexagram makes me a little unpredictable, but it is a bit of a sense of wealth and danger, but if you take a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe, and it is really a bit dangerous. ”
"Then you're not going?" In fact, the fat man didn't want to go, except for the main coffin, which was an empty chamber, and he proposed: "Or we go to the fox hole that the second child found that day, that place should not have been patronized." ”
"You think, such a tomb itself is difficult to find, but over the years, there have been people who have refused to give up, but have gone forward one after another." He asked Father Miao again: "Based on your experience, is this tomb really easy to find?" ”
"It's hard to find," Father Miao shook his head and said: "Savage Tun is far away from the downtown area, and it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to lock such a tomb in the vast mountains of Xing'an Mountains, and there are no landmarks in Tunzi at all, and there is not a single item that has flowed out here." ”
"So!" The fat man said: "There is a problem here, since it is such a difficult pit to find, why are there so many groups of people?" Son, most of the people here didn't go out, that is to say, the news of a group of people coming in will be blocked, and how did the subsequent people learn about the situation here? ”
This is a very conventional but easy to ignore logic, if this tomb is stored on the Guanzhong Road, it is not surprising that there is such a situation, everyone knows that the Guanzhong loess burial emperor. But this place, it is no longer appropriate to describe it as a bird that does not, it is always the Miao family that has spent hundreds of years before and after, and several generations of painstaking efforts have found some clues one by one, thinking of those people in the tomb, such as Chen Huanan and others, are not ordinary people, so who are they bewitched?
"I'm starting to feel a little bit unworthy of these people's deaths now," said Father Miao: "A well-dug trap, the wolves drove the greedy sheep into it one after another, and the result was that the sheep didn't eat the grass, and the wolves didn't eat the sheep. ”
