"So serious? What kind of technique is the Dongyuan exorcism? How can it be listed as one of the top ten forbidden techniques? "Well, the ten forbidden arts, listen to the bunker.

Lin Yin said: "Because this kind of exorcism technique is too domineering. "The Dongyuan exorcism method was born in 1645, that is, the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

In 1645 AD, under the leadership of Duoduo, the Qing soldiers divided their troops into Bozhou and Xuzhou, advanced to the south, and quickly occupied Xuzhou, Bozhou and Xuyi, and took advantage of the situation to go down to Huai'an, seize Sizhou, and cross the Huai River.

On April 19, the Ming general Xu Dingguo led many Duo divisions to Yangzhou, which was heavily surrounded by the Qingshui army. The guard general Shi Kefa led the army and the people, held the lonely city, and at the same time, asked Emperor Hongguang for help, Hongguang should not, and Yangzhou was in a hurry.

On 21 April, Li Qifeng, the general commander of the Ming Dynasty, and Gao Qifeng, the deputy envoy of the supervising army, withdrew their camps and surrendered, and the situation became even more critical. Shi Kefa and others held out until April 25, but were finally broken by the Qing troops because they ran out of ammunition and food. Shi Kefa failed to kill himself and was captured. When Duoduo was lured to surrender, Shi Kefa said categorically: "The city survives and survives, and the city dies and dies." My head can be broken, but my state cannot be bent", and he was brutally killed. Under such circumstances, Shi Kefa's subordinates still led the rest of the troops to continue the fierce battle until the last drop of blood was shed.

After the Qing army occupied Yangzhou, it was slaughtered.

The records of the ten days in Yangzhou are all from the "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" written by Wang Xiuchu, a survivor at that time. This is a small book of less than 8,000 words. The book was banned from circulation by the Qing court for a long time, leaving most people ignorant of the massacre for 250 years.

It was not until the eve of the Xinhai Revolution that patriotic students studying in Japan went into the libraries of Tokyo and Osaka, and printed and imported books such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" and "Jiading Massacre of the City" and other books that were banned from the "Four Libraries" and disappeared in China for 250 years, but survived because of their influx into Japan. (Lu Xun's "Miscellaneous Notes") According to the "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou", after the collapse of the city defense on May 20, the residents of Yangzhou City had to resign themselves to fate. It was pouring rain and there was no daylight. It was as if the Heavenly Father shed tears for the tragic plight of this city.

Some of the inhabitants were busy burning incense in preparation for the arrival of the invaders, while at the same time hiding their gold and silver treasures in abundance. They could only make these cautious preparations, but they were powerless to resist the Manchus, Mongols, and Han Chinese who had surrendered to take over the city. Wang Xiuchu wrote: "Everyone is on standby, and they are willing to be bound at the first thought. ”

The traitors led the Qing soldiers from one rich to another in the commercial city.

The Qing soldiers first asked for silver, and then they wanted everything.

Until daylight on the 20th, there were no personal injuries. But as soon as night fell, the sound of slamming doors, whipping and howling of the wounded could be heard. The fire spread that night, but in some places the fire was extinguished by the rain.

On May 21, the Qing soldiers issued a notice promising that those who had been hiding would be pardoned if they could turn themselves in, and many of those who had been hiding in their homes came out. But when they came out, they were divided into piles of 50 or 60 people, and under the supervision of three or four soldiers, they were tied up with ropes. Then he began to stab them with a spear, killing them on the spot. Even those who fall to the ground are not spared.

"The women wore long ropes around their necks, and they were as tired as beads, and they fell step by step, and they were covered with mud; The ground is full of babies, or lined with horses' hooves, or by human feet, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and the crying is full of wilderness. ”

Yangzhou has become a slaughterhouse, with a bloody stench of corpses and mutilated corpses everywhere, and all social norms no longer exist. The women of Yangzhou City, who were famous for their beauty, were willing to sacrifice themselves to the Qing soldiers, and the most important thing was to redeem their lives with their bodies. Gradually, a wave of madness swept over the invaders. Any woman, willing or unwilling, can be caught and subjected to hordes of soldiers**.

Some of the townspeople served the Qing soldiers like slaves, cooking for these invaders and cleaning them. Since such a person's life could be forgiven, the rest of the people tried to join in, but were denied. At the same time, the Holocaust continues.

"When a death comes, no matter how many or few people in the south, they all bow their heads and bow down, leading their necks to be stabbed, and no one dares to escape."

Those who jumped from the walls and tried to escape either broke their thighs or fell into the hands of hooligans and stragglers. They took them and tortured them and demanded that they hand over their treasures.

In the city, some people hid in garbage heaps, smeared themselves with mud and dirt, hoping to avoid people's attention, but the Qing soldiers stabbed the garbage heap with spears from time to time until the people inside squirmed like animals and blood flowed from their wounds. The fire spread, and those who were still alive because they were hiding in their houses or basements were either consumed by the merciless fire, or they ran out into the streets in fear and were killed by the Qing soldiers who were still slaughtering the city.

Even those lonely and helpless citizens who had been let go by the regular Qing army and wandered naked in the streets were stopped by groups of stragglers ("I don't know whether they were Qing soldiers, town soldiers, and rebellious people") and beat them to death.

It was not until the Qing army received an order from King Yu that the sword was sealed.

Later, more than 800,000 corpses were collected by the monks in the city.

In just 10 days, 800,000 unarmed civilians were killed in the entire Yangzhou city, and the resentment in the city was naturally boiling. The souls of those poor people did not rest in peace, and they all stayed in place and mutated into all kinds of demons and ghosts that people had never heard of. The monk recited the mantra for half a month, but he still couldn't calm the boiling ghost resentment in the city. As soon as night fell, the city was full of ghosts crying and ghosts, and evil spirits collided.

At this time, a Taoist priest called Dong Yuan Zhenren appeared. Although this man is a Taoist priest, he does not have half of the benevolence of a cultivator. He believes that people should live in the yang world, and ghosts should go back to the underworld. He couldn't get used to seeing the thousands of resentful ghosts in the city stranded in the world, and without saying a word, he would use an extremely brutal exorcism method to beat all the miserable ghosts stranded in Yangzhou to the ground.

If the Qing soldiers led by Duoduo carried out a bloody massacre in Yangzhou, Dongyuan Zhenren carried out a second massacre of the ghosts of Yangzhou after that.

That Dongyuan Zhenren is a very mysterious person. This is the only one written about him in the books. He did not belong to any sect and did not accept disciples. After his death, this brutal exorcism was not handed down. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, some tomb robbers entered the tomb of Dongyuan Zhenren, and his book "Dongyuan Zhenjing" was rediscovered.

In the humiliating years when China's door was opened, there were no more resentful souls who died in vain than Yangzhou back then. There are people everywhere who use the exorcism method created by Dong Yuan Zhenren to brutally exorcise evil spirits. Both Taoists and Buddhists advocate letting the soul rest in peace and re-enter reincarnation. This kind of ghost-killing violence is not to be shamed in the same way.

It's just that at that time, there was a war and it was impossible to standardize. It was not until the end of the war and the end of the great catastrophe that the National Taoist Association regained its strength and issued normative provisions on all aspects of affairs. Among them was the prohibition of domestic Taoists from using ten brutal techniques recorded in ancient and modern literature. The Taoist Association has the right to excommunicate and punish sects that defy the ban.
