Chapter 11: Spirit Bones

Zhang Qing was very careful holding the book, as if holding a fragile product, turned the page, his face suddenly became ugly, quickly turned the second page, his face was even more ugly, the more he turned back, the more ugly it became, until he turned to the back, his face was ugly like a ghost, Wang Xiaohu and William Lin looked at each other, they didn't understand what the old man was doing, and just about to ask, Zhang Qing sighed deeply, put the book on the tea case, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and was silent for a while before saying: "Do you want to know what happened to Lu Dao in the Forbidden City?" ”

"What I don't want to know is the mallet!" William Lin replied.

Zhang Qing shook his head with a smile, ignored him, his eyes were still staring at the ghost record, and said: "After the two of you disappeared, the Forbidden City was very anxious, and I couldn't find it for a long time, so I ......was invited to come."

Zhang Qing told him about his arrival in the Forbidden City, Wang Xiaohu and William Lin suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Qing was anxious to ask for copper coins when he saw them, it turned out that they were back, but the copper coins disappeared, so there was only one possibility, and the copper coins were left in that half of the room.

Zhang Qing said in a deep voice: "There are nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half houses in the Forbidden City, because in ancient times, the number of yang was the largest, and a large number of data on the palace building were used by the yang number, as large as the number of palace seats and rooms, such as the three major halls, each hall has 5 rooms, 7 rooms, 9 rooms, and 11 rooms; As small as the number of beasts and components on the top of the palace, such as 11 beasts on the top of the temple of Taihe Palace. 1 is the smallest among the yangs, 9 is the largest among the yangs, and 5 is in the middle. 9999.5 is in line with the emperor's ideal of "Ninety-Five". And because the emperor is called "Long live" and "Long live the Lord", everything else cannot exceed the number of 10,000, so the highest number of palaces where the emperor lives can only be 9999.5. But no one knows where that half of the house is, and legend has it that there is a big secret hidden inside. ”

"My Zhang family was invited to the imperial city as an offering since the Shunzhi Emperor, and I have been looking for that half of the house for two hundred years, only when there is really a big secret inside, I never thought that the last half of the room was used to ward off evil spirits, and the ghost record is not an ordinary book, but a supernatural thing that suppresses the ghosts of the imperial city, you brought it out, the mysterious half of the room, and left my copper coins there, the key to which I don't understand very well, but I think it is to replace the ghost record to stay in half of the room to suppress the soul.

Wang Xiaohu felt very embarrassed, after all, it was Old Man Zhang who saved the lives of his brothers, and also caused him to lose six such precious copper coins, so he couldn't help but say to him: "Master Zhang, our brothers are not people who don't know what to do, since your copper coins fell in that half of the room, this book will be given to you as compensation." ”

Zhang Qing sighed and said: "This book is wonderful, although I can see the appearance of the book with secret techniques, but when I open the page, there is no handwriting inside, and only the two of you can see the content inside, outsiders can't see it at all, if you want to get back the copper coin, you still have to fall on the two of you, dare to ask the two little friends, do you remember where the half of the room is?" ”

Wang Xiaohu pointed at William Lin helplessly and said: "I still remember before, I was interrupted by this kid, and I didn't see a paragraph, and I don't know where the half of the room in Ludao is." ”

Zhang Qing was stunned, looked at William Lin who was hanging and was a little annoyed, and after a while, he sighed dejectedly: "That's it, that's it, it's also fate, and I can't get back my six copper coins if I don't stop messing around with you." However, the two of them have taken the underworld road and can come back, and they are not ordinary people. ”

Zhang Qing was obviously a little perfunctory, put down the book, leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the teacup, a little absent-minded, William Lin looked at him, his blue eyes rolled, this person in front of him is a master, if he misses it, it will be difficult to meet again, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, I have been unlucky recently, you break it!" ”

"Oh, let's hear it!" Zhang Qing couldn't imagine that there were still twists and turns.

William Lin Zhilu said that Zhang Qing is a real master, and he has driven a Land Rover, can he be worse? I told him how to tattoo Tang Seng, and Zhang Qing couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, so he felt that William Lin was really a wonderful person, he was a knowledgeable person, and he felt a little strange, even if ordinary people were tattooed with Tang Seng, they would only be unlucky once or twice once in a while, and they would never be unlucky all the time, so they couldn't help frowning and said to William Lin: "Stretch out your hand and I'll take a look." ”

William Lin stretched out his hand, thinking that Zhang Qing was going to show him palmistry, but unexpectedly Zhang Qing grabbed his hand, looked left, looked right, pinched and pinched, and measured the width and thickness of his right hand, and said after five or six minutes: "Your spirit bone is really rare, no wonder something will happen." ”

"What is a spirit bone?" William Lin hurriedly asked.

Zhang Qingdao: "There are four spirit bones, one of which is called the body of an immortal. Liang Jiangyan of the Southern Dynasty "Yunshan Praise, Yin Changsheng": "Yin Jun cherishes the spirit bones, and the wall is a treasure." Day and night on the side of the mountain, the fruit of the golden pill road. Hu Zhiji's note: "The Legend of the Immortals": 'Yin Changsheng, from Ma Mingsheng received the golden liquid elixir, which was into the alloy liquid of Huayin Mountain, and he was not happy to ascend to heaven, but he took half a dose for the earth immortal. ”

Second, it refers to the innate quality of enlightenment. Song Zhang Shangying's "Treatise on the Protection of the Law": "In the monks and laymen, there must also be spiritual bones, and only those who bear the transcendent amount of Yiqun can be thorough." Third, it refers to tortoise shells. In ancient times, it was used for divination, so it was called. Volume 75 of "Art and Literature Gathering" quotes Song Yanyan's "Da Zheng Zhen" of the Southern Dynasty: "There is no lazy erritual, and the spirit bones are knowledgeable." Fourth, it refers to the Buddha relics. Ming Liu Ji's "Fei Xue Lu": "Relics, according to the Buddha book cloud, Sri Luo or Sheliluo." This cloud bone body, also known as the cloud spirit bone, is the so-called bone division, commonly known as the relics of light. ”

"Guess what you are?"

William Lin has been in China for many years, Chinese is not worse than the locals, generally as long as it is not a dialect, you can understand it, but Zhang Qingwen crepe said some ancient Chinese, it is a little cloudy, but after pondering, I also understood a rough, turtle bone is the king eight shells, definitely not, the relics are also burned after the death of the monk, obviously not so, hehe smiled: "My skeleton is strange, either the first or the second." ”

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's not wrong, you are the first type, a good material for cultivating and practicing the arts, if you enter the Tao before the age of twelve, you must get twice the result with half the effort, but unfortunately you missed the ......."

William Lin was not interested in cultivating or anything, and hurriedly asked, "Master, since you are so clear, you can break it for me!" ”

Zhang Qingdao: "I'll take a look when you take off your clothes." ”

William Lin took off his clothes, revealing his back, and a Tang monk riding a white horse was tattooed on his back, looking ahead, lifelike, as if he was a living thing.

Zhang Qing couldn't help but laugh, and said to William Lin: "Tattoos are also particular, but not blind, you have to tattoo according to your five elements numerology, and you have to choose a place such as a male fire life, the body is very weak, choose a firebird, that is, a fire phoenix or a golden crow, etc., then you must tattoo the left, it is best to protect the heart, not the back; If it's just weak, then it should be tattooed on the arm, not on the body. If it is a man with a strong fire life, then you can't tattoo a fire bird, and it is correct to tattoo a white tiger. Fire overcomes gold, and its own exuberance can be resisted. I will be of great help to your economic undertakings. If you are a person who opens a casino and is strong, a gluttonous or one-horned pixiu with a positive tattoo in the middle of the chest and abdomen is absolutely domineering. Ghosts, generally suitable for those who are weak and gloomy, are only suitable for the back and arms, and must be covered by clothing. A resolute and violent person is also suitable for tattooing ghosts, the so-called crushing ghosts, and the position of the tattoo cannot be tattooed......"

Zhang Qing was stunned when he heard Wang Xiaohu and William Lin, they couldn't imagine that there was so much attention to a tattoo, and what they didn't know was that Zhang Qing only said a small part, in general, if the tattoo is not careful, the evil consequences will accompany him for a lifetime, but for Zhang Qing, these are just small paths, as long as they are calmed with cinnabar, it is not a big deal. He walked behind William Lin with a smile, and there was a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose that could barely be smelled.

Zhang Qing suddenly restrained his smile, and with a bang, he pinched his right hand and slapped it towards William Lin's back, just listen to the snap! With a crisp sound, William Lin was slapped down by this slap and lay on the ground, Zhang Qing stared at it, and saw that the Tang Seng behind him showed the same color as blood, and his face couldn't help but change, and asked: "Tang Seng behind you, who gave you the tattoo?" ”

William Lin was originally very angry, jumped up and wanted to scold, but seeing that Zhang Qing's face was wrong, he thought for a while and said: "I got a tattoo in a tattoo shop called Xenodimension, and the tattoo is a master in his fifties. ”

Zhang Qing sighed, shook his head and said: "You calamity, I can't break it, boy, you have been calculated, the dye of your tattoo is made with the pollen of the other side flower with cinnabar pattern, and it must be the other side flower that has grown on the grave for at least twenty years, this kind of flower is called ghost flower, the most ominous, you are eighty-one difficult, one difficulty is indispensable." ”

William Lin was startled and said, "I said that I can't wash it off even if I wash it twice, Master Zhang, you are a master with great ability, you break it, you break it......"

Zhang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It's better for you two to be my protΓ©gΓ©s, let's slowly figure out a way." ”

Wang Xiaohu was silent and didn't speak, William Lin's blue eyes rolled, and he muttered: "This ......" He didn't think about refusing at all, he just wanted to pretend to be reserved, and when Zhang Qing persuaded him again, he went down the ladder, and he also seemed to be different, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qing smiled, took out a business card and put it on the tea case, and said: "The twisted melon is not sweet, since you have concerns, just when I didn't say it, I have already paid for the tea, and there is something to do, so I will go first." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving William Lin in place, dumbfounded, I didn't expect Zhang Qing, the old man, to be so stubborn, he showed a little hesitation, turned around and left, and hurriedly reached out to drag it, and shouted in his mouth: "What are you in a hurry to go, I will agree if you ask again!" ”

William Lin wanted to chase him out, but he was dragged by Wang Xiaohu, and said to him in a deep voice: "A good master is rare, and a good apprentice is also rare, he turned around and left, he didn't take you seriously at all, what are you doing on the pole?" ”
