Chapter 119: The First Appearance of the Ghost Path
The humanity is slim, the fairy road is boundless, and the ghost road is happy. When life is the door, the immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble. The fairy road is often auspicious, the ghost road is often self-murderous, the high and clear spirit is beautiful, the sad song is in space, I hope that the heavens will come into being, and I don't want to be humane and poor.
In the northern capital of Quanmiao Mansion, there are 10,000 ghost groups, but if you want to curb people's calculations, cut off the door of human life, a person sings a cave chapter, takes the north Luo Yu, reciting the demon spirit, and kills the six ghost peaks, the weather is swinging, and my Tao is prosperous!
This article comes from the classic "Immortal Tao Sutra" of the ancient Lingbao school of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, which is the earliest recorded document of the "ghost road". It is said that there are six peaks in the mountain, each peak has a palace, there are six palaces, so the clouds are six ghost peaks. Ichinomiya goes back thousands of miles around the world. There is a demon king who claims to be a man, and he is required to kill a ghost every day, and he offers his left ear, which belongs to the yang, so the demon king takes it to practice spells, and this kind of spell is called "ghost road".
Regardless of whether the record in this text is true or false, this text has been recited for thousands of years, and can be checked from generation to generation, although there are elements of exaggeration of legends, but according to the theory that the text must be based, there are more or less opinions on the existence of the word "ghost way" in the hearts of various sects and sects. But there are only a few people who have seen the "ghost road", the development of Taoism has gone through thousands of years, and it has long been decayed, whether it is the Ziyang Hall in the famous mountains and rivers that were once worshipped by the world, or the country roads scattered with unknown folk origins, now, they have degraded too much compared to their ancestors.
I think that Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master Chuangzheng was in Qingcheng Mountain, killed more than 10,000 evil ghosts in Shu, cleared the plague and evil diseases, and benefited the world. And set up the rules of the following thousands of years: the master of the people is in the day, the ghosts are in the night, the yin and yang are separated, each has its own division, and the violator is a law, and he will be punished!
Since then, the world is peaceful, and the yin and yang are separated from each other and dare not be easily offended, and then there are six ghost peaks and demon kings A ** harm, Taishang Laojun gave Zhang Daoling a "Zhengyi Alliance Prestige Talisman", three or five slashing evil male and female swords, Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin, flat crown, eight seals, square skirts, and Zhu shoes. Zhang Daoling then used the left for the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the right for the thirty-six scriptures, set up ten unique spirit flags, ringed the bell and knocked on the chime, cloth dragon and tiger gods, and cast mana.
Alone, the white-clothed sword entered and exited nine times on the six ghost peaks, killed eighteen back and forth, collected a total of eight ghosts and gods, annihilated the six demon kings, killed the demon kings, and the ghosts and demons were extinct.
There are many records about this history in later generations, and the people in the Daomen all admire Zhang Tianshi when they talk about this matter, but what if they are afraid that Zhang Tianshi will come out of the ghost road after flying immortals? Fortunately, there are many ghosts in later generations, only sporadic records of those who practice secretly, and most of them are ambushed by decency, and the appearance of ghosts is mostly as follows: fear of light, more like darkness, half-cooked food, face like white paper without blood, nails long and curved, and a body of evil spirit.
"It's hard to conclude based on one-sided statements, and people are long gone." Thinking of his uncle named Ye Huan, Cha Wenbin couldn't help but think: Could the old lady of the Jiang family be a ghost cultivator?
"The old lady is buried behind here, not far from here, do you want to go and see it?" Hu Genglin pointed to the back of this ruin and said: "It's only two miles away from here, saying that the old lady chose the location herself, close to home, and they went to the grave." ”
Cha Wenbin was a little suspicious when he heard this, and he asked, "Is that the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family?" ”
"No," Hu Genglin said: "The ancestral cemetery of the Jiang family is in Longshou Mountain, it is strange to say, it turns out that the Jiang family also has an ancestral hall, but the old lady did not let people put his tablet into the ancestral hall before he died, and only he was buried in that land, and made a rule that the descendants of the Jiang family were not allowed to be buried near there." ”
"Oh? That's a little weird, go check it out. ”
It's strange to say, there was no grass on this Gobi, but the tomb of the old lady of the Jiang family was different, with a circle of shrubs growing lushly, and it really looked like a hill from a distance. The cemetery covers an area of two rooms, the mound of sealed soil is four or five meters above the ground, the whole tomb is in the shape of an inverted funnel, and the surrounding area is surrounded by a circle of stones, which is more than one meter high.
This kind of project is not small in all dynasties, if it is in the past few hundred years, at least it is a specification that can only be enjoyed by a master of three grades or above, which is enough to show how strong the Jiang family's financial resources and talents were.
"What's missing here?" I pointed to the stone wall and found that the stones had gone somewhere, and that the loess had fallen down to form a landslide.
That Hu Genglin hurriedly pulled it with his hands: "Ouch, I haven't found it here, if the old lady blames it......"
"Something is wrong, Wen Bin, come and take a look." I found that the missing stones were not lost, but scattered not far away, a little messy, and many of the stones had been broken to the size of a fist, which was obviously destroyed by external forces.
Cha Wenbin thought the same way as me, he said: "Someone stolen? ”
Although this Zhu Zihao and the owner of this tomb have never met, after all, they are the ancestors of the same origin and the same ancestry, and when they heard that their ancestors were picked up by others, they were naturally sad, and immediately roared: "Which son of a bitch raised it?" ”
Cha Wenbin stretched out his hand and rubbed the soil and said: "The mound is still very new, it is estimated that it will not be long after drying, such a large cemetery is very eye-catching on this Ma Pingchuan, and no one is taking care of these four places, and it is also reasonable to be targeted." "In those days, it coincided with a wave of antique fever in the market, newspapers and broadcasts were full of this information, and the supervision in those years was far less strict than now, so tomb robbery was very rampant, and the destructive power of tomb robbers with the help of modern instruments and gunpowder was more than dozens of times that of Li Yazi, who were holding Luoyang shovels before.
I said, "It's known as an antique beach, and there may be people who come to visit it, check it out to see how much damage has been done." ”
Peeling off the outer layer of loess, a snakeskin bag was pulled out after a while, which is the kind used to hold fertilizer in the countryside, I pulled the bag, "bang", a sound of loosening of the soil, and sure enough, under the bag is a black thief hole, enough for an adult man to enter and exit.
One is his ancestor, the other is his old master, then Hu Genglin cried silently when he was old, and Zhu Zihao was also slumped on the ground, so both of them were dumbfounded, how could it be stolen?
I looked, the snakeskin bag must have been used to transport soil, this is good, eighty percent of it is already a mess, I thought about either reporting the case, this is not long anyway. But then Cha Wenbin muttered a sentence that shocked my heart, he squatted on the ground and said: "It's strange, the drag marks in this thief hole are only the traces of the bag but there are no footprints on the outside, only the inside, is someone in and not out?" ”
"That?" I thought for a moment and said, "I'll go in and have a look." ”
"No!" Cha Wenbin stopped me and said: "It is not uncommon for tomb robbers to die in the tomb, it is very likely to be a landslide, if you go in, you may encounter danger, or go to the official first, I think Zihao is here, they dare not care, so they simply find someone to come to some machinery and equipment and directly bulldoze it to save trouble." ”
Back in the township, this matter really got attention, Zhu Zihao invested on the grounds of looking for relatives, and now the ancestral grave has been stolen, isn't that a hornet's nest? The county immediately sent people down to investigate, and Cha Wenbin demanded that he act today in the name of destroying feng shui and needing to be immediately reburied. The county brought in an excavator to assist, and no less than dozens of cadres were present.
At noon, the ancestors were worshipped, incense and candles were lit, and with a slogan of "up", the excavator began to work, and the few meters high sealed soil went to more than half in an instant. As more and more parts were revealed, the machine stopped.
"I can't dig it!" The little master of the excavator jumped down and said, "It's all granite, and the machine is going to break." ”
Unexpectedly, two meters down from this sealed soil, it turned out to be granite! What is even more surprising is that this kind of stone is not produced here at all, and after the floating soil above is removed, some uneven stone surfaces are exposed, which seem to have been artificially carved.
The construction stopped halfway through, so where did the leader put his face? immediately sent someone to deploy manpower again, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "Wait, the best time for grave digging has passed today, and I have to start again another day." ”
Although these leaders have received advanced education and naturally cannot engage in feudal superstition, tradition still needs to be respected, especially this kind of thing. The master of the family is this suggestion, of course he can't disobey it, as long as the Hong Kong businessman is happy, he can serve whatever he wants, and with a wave of his hand, the large army retreated back.
I don't understand why Cha Wenbin wanted to shout to stop, but he said with a calm face: "I dug a mine, and I'm going to get into trouble." ”
"What do you mean? Can't we move this grave? ”
"It's not that I can't move, but once I move, it's a big trouble, so I went up and took a few looks, and put down a ghost head carved from a whole piece of granite on the head of this grave. This thing is called a person, according to legend, it is the supreme demon king, I estimate that this old lady Jiang is eighty percent of his believers, this kind of person calls himself a ghost, and he does something disgusting and dirty in private, especially good at using witchcraft. Most of these graves will have some bad things, and if they are opened rashly, something will definitely happen, so I will leave those people first. ”
"In that case, then we will also withdraw, no matter how bad it is, get some explosives to calm it down." When I said this, I didn't have any scruples about Zhu Zihao, your ancestor used to be like that, and I don't think he would have much of an opinion.
"No, this is the only clue, I don't want to break it." He paused and said, "That shadow does resemble him......"
