Chapter 14: Mountains and Seas
Before the Republic of China, people believed in feng shui very much, especially the place where the ancestors were buried, and they should not be hasty. Usually, if an ancestor dies, people will find a piece of feng shui to bury the ancestor and use the feng shui of the spiritual land to bless future generations. And looking for the dragon point, all to have the real dragon of the place is precious, first look at the dragon across the gorge, and then look at the gorge after the star top of the cave. Identify castrations.
Of course, don't think that dragon hunting is really so simple, the above words may not be understood by ordinary people who are extremely poor for half their lives, and what laymen are not familiar with is that dragon hunting must also understand celestial phenomena.
Among the works written by Yang Gong Yang Yunsong, the originator of feng shui, there is a classic of the Dragon Shaker, which is enough to show the importance of the stars to the terrain
"The peaks are named after the stars, and the stars are formed under the mountains. The word dragon god is the key to finding the mountain, and the god is the spirit and the dragon is the quality. There are dragons in the high mountains of Modao, but they come to the flat ground and are distorted. The flat earth dragon starts from the high veins, and the star peaks rise high and fall ...... the caves. If the greedy force is not assisted, how can Gao Ling live in a dragon. Although the auxiliary is to enter the acupoint, the acupoint is different with the shape. The acupuncture points follow the stars as pincer milk, and the size of the shape and god follows the Dragon Sect."
The meaning of this passage is simple: the mountain peaks become the power of the earth, and the image of the heavens. Corresponding to the stars in the sky, if there are stars to assist in the palace, then the land is a real dragon, if there are no stars to assist in the landing, then no matter how good the mountain is, it is just a virtual appearance.
It is also because of people's belief in the feng shui of the yin house, which later derived a profession among the people...... Geomaster. This kind of person is particularly proficient in the physiognomy of the five techniques of mountain medicine and fortune, and specializes in finding dragon points for people. Although he is not a Taoist priest, his skills are still not to be underestimated, and even the skills of individual people can be called against the sky.
In Sanlitun in Yanjing, there is a legendary story of an old earth master, or rather, this is a tragic story, which has a great relationship with the four characters of mountains and rivers and dragon veins.
This story happened at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, burning, killing and looting in the capital.
The old land master who returned to seclusion can also be regarded as a person with considerable wealth and fame in Sanlitun. At the time of the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, all his family members fled and left the capital.
Only this old earth master stayed alone. Not only that, but he also did something that everyone didn't expect.
It's not to die resolutely, and it's not to stay and spit on those foreign devils. Instead, he set up a banquet at home, sent invitations to greet many officers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and even took out the treasures and ancient paintings treasured at home and presented them to these foreign devils.
At that time, many people scolded this old earth master for being a traitor, a big traitor, and saying anything.
However, the morning after the Eight-Nation Coalition officers went to the banquet, nearly 200 bodies were found in the old master's home.
Without exception, they were all officers and soldiers who had gone to the banquet last night, and when people entered the room to check, they saw the old earth master dying in the middle of the hall, although he was bleeding, but he was smiling.
It was only then that people realized that they were wrong, very wrong. This geographer is not a traitor, but a martyr. What he set up was a silent feast that put people to death.
It's just that people are also confused. What kind of ability does this old earth master have to be able to put people to death silently?
At first, people looked at the old earthmaster's bleeding appearance, thinking that the old earthmaster was poisoning these foreign devils. Later, people rummaged through the corpses, and it turned out that not only did the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army show no signs of poisoning, but even the old earth master was only bleeding from the seven orifices, and there was no black and blue on his body, and no trace of toxin was detected by pricking with a silver needle.
At that time, this incident became a strange news in Sanlitun, some people said that this old earth master was a god to the world, and some people said that this old earth master was a god and a law, and he couldn't get used to what the Eight-Nation Alliance Army did, so he died with these foreign devils with supreme practice.
However, rumors may not be true. Although people keep speculating, every speculation has nothing to do with the truth
It wasn't until a year later that people vaguely deduced the truth through the words of Lao Di's former friend when he was drunk.
It turned out that this old earth master was not the reincarnation of some immortal, and he didn't know any Taoism. What he borrowed was the power of the dragon veins in the Forbidden City. As early as a month before the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, when he watched the stars at night, he had already learned that the Forbidden City would be broken when the crape myrtle star fell.
Later, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army really washed the capital with blood, burned, looted, and slaughtered a large number of innocent people. Seeing that the magnificent rivers and mountains were so spoiled by these Hu people, innocent lives were actually harvested by these tigers and wolves.
The dignified Heavenly Empire was trampled on by these wild ministers, and at this time, no one stood up to save the crumbling Qing Dynasty. In the imperial court, people's hearts have long been decayed, and outside the society, the country has long been disfigured.
This old earth master is a person after all, and he can't change the rise and fall of the dynasty, nor can he change the hearts of this rotten people. All he could do was to fight for his life and shed the last drop of blood for Yan Huang, hoping that his death could awaken people's hearts that had long been numb.
Since he is a geomaster, what he is best at is Chalongguan sand. This old earth master is no exception, what he is best at is finding the dragon vein, the Buqi Array. It is precisely because he is a geographer that the location where the Yang Mansion was built has excellent feng shui, and it is the place where dragons are born in the Nine Dragons.
In order to set up this bureau, he built six small towers within a hundred miles of the dragon land, corresponding to Lian Zhen, Greedy Wolf, and Wenqu...... These seven stars. Use this as a formation to gather the dragon vein qi into your home.
On the night of the banquet, the old earth master triggered this heavenly killing array, and took advantage of the momentum of the mountains and rivers to silently kill all the officers who went to the banquet.
However, the occult arts practiced by cultivators are all aimed at saving people in the world, and once they use their techniques to hurt others, they will be punished by heaven. And this old earth master even killed hundreds of people with a formation, this move against the sky, do you say that the sky can not be angry?
Therefore, the day of the death of the coalition army is also the time when the old earth master is punished by heaven. However, although this old earth master went against the sky and killed hundreds of people through the dragon vein pit of mountains and rivers, he still had no regrets at the last moment before he died. This can be seen from the smile on his face, although he is bleeding from all his orifices.
All in all, this borrowing the momentum of the dragon veins of mountains and rivers is a technique that is extremely against the sky in physiognomy, and it is a formation that calls for wind and rain in ancient times. Although mysterious and powerful, it has the effect of lifting the flesh and bones of the dead, but it is dangerous and abnormal, and if one is not good, it will put oneself in a place of no return.
"Don't worry, the momentum of the mountains and rivers and dragon veins I am talking about is different from that of the legendary old earth master. I'm just creating the terrain to correspond to the heavenly potential, and using the steam of the Nine Yin Stars to resolve the yang evil qi in this dead house, there is no earth master so against the sky, and it is not so dangerous? Seeing my pale face, the fat man hurriedly explained to me
The legendary old earth master used the power of the dragon veins of mountains and rivers to kill hundreds of people of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and in addition to borrowing the power of the sky, he also borrowed the dragon qi within a radius of hundreds of miles. Although the formation laid out in this way is against the sky, to put it bluntly, it also empties the automobile transportation in the nearby places. It is the practice of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, which is both beneficial and detrimental. Therefore, the fat man will not do this kind of practice, what he uses is the method of borrowing the power of heaven in the power of the dragon veins of mountains and rivers.
Speaking of which, I am also getting more and more confused, although I know that the old earth master in the story also corresponds to the time of heaven when he borrows the dragon veins of mountains and rivers, but what kind of borrowing method is this simple borrowing of heavenly potential?
"The earth leads to the sky!" The fat man pointed to the sky with one hand, and then said: "Twelve days later, it is the day when the Taiyin Star has the most vigorous trajectory, as long as I lay down the Nine Yin Array here, I can attract the Xuanyin Qi to descend and wash this house again." ”
"Just ......?" The fat man frowned, a little hesitant
I couldn't resist the curiosity in my heart and asked, "Just what." ”
"It's just that although this Nine Yin Array can wash away the yang, everything has advantages and disadvantages. If I don't withdraw this Nine Yin Array within three days, this homestead will change from a yang land to a yin land...... When the time comes, it will be much more terrifying than a corpse breeding ground. ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "Then you can withdraw the Nine Yin Array in three days?" ”
"I think so too, but I don't know why, I vaguely feel that something is wrong!" The fat man frowned and muttered to himself
I was about to ask him what he thought was wrong, when suddenly a panicked scream came from the silent night sky.
The scream was a female voice, and the whole sentence was only three words.
"Help......"
The voice came so suddenly, with panic and despair, that after a few seconds, it stopped abruptly, as if it had never been there, but the fat man and I actually heard it.
The first thought that came to my mind was that someone had an accident, and something big had happened. If it is a bad person, the victim's voice for help will never be so short. But the voice appeared for such a short time, and the owner who couldn't speak well of the voice had already encountered an accident in just a few seconds.
At about the same time, the fat man and I quickly got up and traced the source of the sound.
