Chapter 22: Horcrux Keepers
After a day and a night, the old shopkeeper kept a pile of hand-picked broken porcelain pieces and handed them to his son. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He mysteriously instructed the little shopkeeper: "You can't keep these porcelain pieces, you take them, bury them under an old willow tree, don't let people see them, remember! ”
After saying this, the little shopkeeper took the porcelain piece given by his father, weighed it, and found that there were more than ten catties, so he opened it again and took a look.
He found that most of those things were in good condition of late Qing white porcelain, and if you looked closely, it seemed that they were still things from the official kiln, and it was estimated that you could buy a good price if you found a porcelain saw.
This kind of thing has to be thrown away, and no one understands it. Therefore, when Xiao Tong's shopkeeper saw it in his eyes, he inevitably asked in his heart.
Faced with the little shopkeeper's incomprehension, the old shopkeeper Tong did not answer immediately, he just stroked the head of the little shopkeeper in a pleasant face, and asked him to deal with the porcelain pieces first, and then talk about it when he came back.
When sending his youngest son out, the old shopkeeper specially said: "There are some things I have prepared, otherwise I can't tell you clearly......
In this way, with the question in his heart, the little shopkeeper ran out of the house, and after burying the porcelain pieces indiscriminately according to his father's instructions, he ran back with the excitement of discovery.
When he got home, the old shopkeeper had already gathered his disciples to sit together, and when he saw that his youngest son had arrived, he opened his mouth and talked about the cause and effect of the shipwreck and the porcelain piece.
As soon as he spoke, the old shopkeeper threw out a straw paper atlas that he had drawn by hand from his sleeve.
The old man pointed to the things in the atlas and said: "Everyone is careful and long-sighted, and the things in this atlas are remembered. ”
As he spoke, he first handed the album to his son.
The little shopkeeper looked at the picture album drawn by his father and found that there were some "charms" outlined with a red cinnabar pen, which were somewhat similar to the edicts drawn by the Taoist priest.
But...... It's not exactly the same.
The little shopkeeper found that the things that had been drawn by his father were between words and pictures, and he couldn't read the meaning at all, and the talismans looked more like little scarlet grimaces.
Those grimaces are male and female, happy or smiling, very vivid and vivid, but they are full of eerie horror, I really don't know what kind of meaning and emotions the people who created these pictures want to express.
Faced with such a strange thing, the little shopkeeper scratched his head and asked his father: "Daddy, what is this! Why do you throw away the porcelain with this painting?"
In this regard, the old shopkeeper lowered his voice and said to all the descendants: "This thing is called the Soul Fixing Painting, it is a talisman that locks and suppresses the unjust souls and wild ghosts, and the containers and treasures that draw them are pressed with spirits! ”
"Black-headed Esoteric Sect?" all the apprentices of Lao Tong's shopkeeper were stunned: "What is a black-headed Esoteric Sect?"
"Hey!" the old shopkeeper sighed, and then said: "It is a cult that has existed since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it is said that they recite the 'Regardless of the Sutra', practice the 'Creation and Killing Method', participate in the 'Joy ‖ Zen', and practice the 'Fruit of Bliss', which is one of the cults favored by Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
While speaking, the old shopkeeper Tong told the disciples the story between this black-headed secret sect and the Horcrux Cultivator.
According to legend, the person who founded this Daomen was Yang Lian Zhenjia, the first demon monk in the early Yuan Dynasty.
It is rumored that this person is the general capital of Jiangnan Buddhism canonized by the Yuan Court, who is a high-ranking and powerful person, and has a very deep cultivation of Buddhism, but he is proficient in "heavenly magic" and "happy ‖ and music Zen", and is obsessed with "Zhenben technique" and tomb robbing.
Compared with him, Sun Dianying, who stole Cixi's tomb back then, is equivalent to a child who fishes glass balls from the latrine!
It is said that in order to steal the funeral vessels of the Southern Song Dynasty emperors, he went so far as to dig through the tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty emperors in the name of Zhenben, and also poured out the corpse of Song Lizong for three days and three nights, and poured mercury from it.
After eating and frying, people still have new tricks, and finally made Song Lizong's skull into a wine vessel and sent it to Yuan Dadu to ask for merit from Emperor Yuanting.
If you think that this is considered crazy, then you really underestimate this No. 1 demon monk of the Yuan Court, because later he did a very awesome thing, which can be called the crown of ancient and modern times!
After everything was over, the Yang Zongjiao used 30,000 manpower and material resources to mix all the bones of the emperor of the Song Dynasty with the bones of pigs, cattle and sheep, and cast them into a thirteen-zhang high "Zhenben Tower", which stood in the Forbidden City of the Southern Song Dynasty, in an attempt to suppress the royal spirit of the south, so that the people of Jiangnan could never turn over.
In a word...... He was very frenzied, and he didn't look like a Buddhist monk.
With such a founding ancestor, it is not difficult for us to imagine what kind of thing this "black-headed esoteric sect" used to make horcrux cultivators is.
The black-headed Esoteric Sect behaves strangely, believing that the more people you kill, the more extensive your cultivation will be, and these 'Soul Cultivators' they make are evil things that are made in order to improve their own cultivation.
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper of Lao Tong sighed and said: "The soul nourishing device is an evil weapon, and most of the ones contained in it are some human bones and corpses, and the resentment is very deep, remember not to provoke blood." ”
At this point, the little shopkeeper was frightened by his father's words, but when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.
It seems that the words of the father, where there is something that cannot be explained.
The little shopkeeper thought back to the broken porcelain pieces he had thrown away, and immediately became full of questions.
He remembered very well that most of the patterns with grimaces engraved on the faces he threw away were porcelain from the Qing Dynasty, and some of them were particularly well-done.
In the face of these, the little shopkeeper who didn't know the doorway said to his father full of questions.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he sneered, and then told the little shopkeeper: "This black-headed secret sect has not been broken since the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and they cleverly use people's desires to survive in the troubled times." ”
Speaking of which, the old shopkeeper explained the general history of this secret cult to his apprentice's son.
It is said that in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, the black-headed Esoteric Sect was the most rampant, and they took advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Yuan Shun's famine, and used heavenly magic to disrupt the government, which was very beautiful for a while.
Later, because of the change of dynasties, Esoteric Buddhism lost its position, and it was dormant for a long time, and during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a big case of demon fox coming out at night and colluding with the Japanese Kou, which was almost subverted, and was suppressed by Jinyiwei and the "two major factories", which stopped for hundreds of years.
Later, this kind of feudal association of folk secret associations rose again with the White Lotus uprising at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Boxer Rebellion in Beijing, but those people changed their coats and entered the Tao from Buddha, but what they did was still those who took life and killed, and ** chaotic women.
It is said that many ministers and concubines in the late Qing Dynasty believed in it, and they mostly used the evil magic in this 'soul cultivator' to compete for favor and frame the harem, which made the court of the Qing Dynasty into a miasma.
There is even speculation that since the reign of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty this night, there are problems with the part under each emperor, and the three generations of the Qing Palace have not heard the children's cry, I am afraid it has something to do with the evil art of the black-headed Esoteric Sect.
...... After telling me about the past, the shopkeeper seemed to sigh in his heart, and then he walked back to the glass lattice of his shop, and took out a locked wooden box from under the counter. (To be continued.) )
