Chapter 376: You Are Brothers
The frightened old woman in the mural with one hand over her face opened her fingers and stared at the corpse on the ground with the eyes that emerged from between her fingers, with a smile in her eyes that could not be concealed.
I could clearly see that the old woman's tongue was bright red and was licking the corners of her mouth. It was as if she saw not a bloody corpse, but a fat pig that had just been slaughtered, and she wanted to quickly peel it and put it in the pot and feast on it beautifully.
Dakang swallowed with a grunt: "What is this?" ”
"It's not filial piety." I said in a deep voice: "In ancient times, there were twenty-four filial pieties that everyone praised, but of course there were also feared unfilial piety pictures. This picture is "God Condemns the Rebel". ”
What God said about the rebel son was: There was a rebel who treated his mother like a maid. He slept sweetly with his wife in his arms every morning, but he asked his old mother to carry water and cook, and when he was a little unsatisfactory, he scolded and scolded. He also gave birth to a child, who was just a few months old. The old man took his grandson and did housework, and he was very busy.
One day, the old mother was busy in the kitchen with her grandson in her arms, and the little grandson kicked and scratched and was scalded by the hot water. The old mother was terrified, so she fled. The rebel jumped like thunder, carrying a knife to chase and kill. There is a Guandi temple not far from home, the old mother fled into the temple, hid under the god case, and chased after the rebel son with a knife violently, and was in great danger. Suddenly, the statue of Zhou Cang on the throne jumped down, stopped the rebel at the door, and slashed the rebel in two with a knife. After Zhou Cang beheaded the rebel son, he still stood at the gate of the temple, one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, and did not return to the throne. This caused a sensation in the neighborhood, and more than 1,000 people came to watch.
When I spoke, Tan Yue and the others also looked at the unfilial piety: "The god who kills people is really Zhou Cang." ”
I didn't wait for Tan Yue to finish speaking, then turned to Dakang and said: "You try, push the words on the nine-square grid to 'Rebel Son Present'." ”
Dakang looked at me for a long time before he stretched out his hand to push the Jiugong grid, and when he stopped, there was a soft sound on the side of "The Divine Punishment of the Rebel", and the bluestone wall skin instantly exploded with a layer of cobweb-like fine lines, and when the wall skin fell off, a picture was revealed on the wall.
This time, there is only one man with bare legs. The man's legs were covered with wounds from peeling flesh, and his feet hung in the air one after another, as if they were too painful to land. A yellow dog standing at his feet was dragging its bloody tongue and licking the flesh from the man's feet.
I pointed to the man on the painting: "Do you see clearly?" Isn't that person a bit like the corpse we just saw? ”
Dakang couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "It should be him!" What kind of name is this 'rebel son is now reported'? ”
The retribution of the son of disobedience is now reported by the rebel son:
The mother of this rebel son was old, and she was still used as a maid to instruct her, cooking and cooking, and she was exhausted.
One day, a friend came to the house, and the rebel asked his mother to cook noodles. Because the firewood is relatively wet, the fire is not vigorous, and it cannot be cooked well for a while. The rebel kept urging and scolded at the same time. The old mother was in a hurry, and she brought it out as soon as it was cooked, but she forgot to put salt. The rebel lost his temper and threw the hot noodles at his mother, burning the old man's feet. The old mother was so sad and sad that she couldn't help crying, and even the neighbors were indignant.
After a few days, when this rebel was boiling tung oil, he was burned by tung oil, his skin was broken and his flesh was rotten, and he couldn't be cured, so that he died of pain. People say that the retribution of heaven is so fast!
Tan Yue's brows furrowed more and more: "How can such a thing appear in the dungeon?" It doesn't make sense! ”
I put my hands behind my back and said, "What I'm thinking about now is not whether these pictures make sense. Rather, will all three of us move on to the next picture? ”
"What did you say?" Tan Yue was startled and then quickly retreated, and suddenly opened up the stance, Ling Yun and Liu Huan also seized a favorable position at the same time, surrounding Dakang and Chang Ke in the middle.
Dakang and Chang Ke instinctively moved, at first as if they were ready to lean back to each other, so as not to be attacked on their backs, but soon stood in place with a wry smile - neither of them trusted each other.
I said with a normal face, "Should I call you two 'brothers'?" Or should I call your names? ”
"What did you say?" Ling Yun looked at my face in surprise: "You are brothers? ”
Da Kang nodded and said, "In terms of blood, we are indeed brothers. It's just that half-siblings. ”
Chang Ke also said in a deep voice: "If possible, I really don't want to have a brother, and I don't even want to have anything to do with that person!" Brother, how do you see that? ”
I said indifferently: "From the clay man told me that the three poisonous curses in Lijia Village were deliberately laid for me, I was thinking, what is the purpose of the other party's deliberate three poisonous curses?" ”
"Tan Yue said that the Three Poison Curses have been lost for many years, and those who can make the Three Poison Curses reappear in the world must have an extremely deep background. Since such a person wants to ambush me, there are a thousand ways, why do you have to make a three-poison curse? ”
I said in a deep voice, "Until then, I had always fallen into a misunderstanding. In my impression, I have never offended a Buddhist warlock, how can a Buddhist warlock do something to me? It wasn't until I saw this unfilial picture that I figured out something. ”
I pointed to the picture on the wall and said, "The people who are ambushed nearby must have both Confucianism and Buddhism. Filial piety is the core of Confucianism. But unfilial piety is all about retribution, and retribution comes very quickly. This is what Buddhism often calls the retribution of the present world. ”
"I didn't offend the masters of Buddhism, but the Confucian people did offend, the Sheng family ......"
I stretched out my hand and tapped my head: "The word 'Sheng family' was just a flash of inspiration in my head at the beginning. When I think about it, it's not like that at all. What is the most vicious part of the Three Poison Curses? It's to make people lose their minds, kill people like crazy, and kill everyone he can see. ”
"Even if I go crazy, Tanyue and they won't kill me. If someone uses a trick to lure them away, this will not be a battlefield between me and them, but a battlefield between me and the two of you. ”
I said in a deep voice: "Isn't King Shengcheng's plan of 'nine sons competing for food' just asking his nine sons to devour each other like Gu worms? However, at that time, I was not sure if my judgment was right. ”
I looked at the mural on the wall again: "It wasn't until I saw the unfilial picture on the wall that I was sure that we were brothers. ”
"King Sheng Cheng is not making filial piety here, it is not for fun, he is casting some kind of mind control spell. I remember that there is a saying among the older generations: filial piety, filial piety, filial piety is obedience, obedience is filial piety. ”
To put it bluntly, children must listen to their parents and not resist at all, otherwise they will be disobedient. When all the unfilial piety intentions appear, King Sheng Cheng may be able to control us and kill each other. If we resist, we will end up as ghosts in the midst of unfilial piety. ”
I looked at the two men and said, "Am I right?" Where are our other six brothers? ”
Dakang laughed miserably: "You're right! Actually, I really envy you for not knowing the truth of the matter so late, and I have been tormented by the truth for twenty years. For as long as I can remember, I knew that sooner or later I was going to eat my brother. ”
"I don't want to eat people! Cannibalism, I can't do it! But I can't get out of control either. So the best kung fu I've ever practiced in my life is to run away. Keep running until you escape. In the end, running around and running again. ”
Dakang pulled his clothes suddenly, revealing the flame mark tattooed on his chest: "With this thing, I can't run." I don't want to die, so I have to come back. ”
After Da Kang sighed, he turned to Chang Ke: "Brother, what about you?" ”
Chang Ke's eyes darkened: "You have at least run, I can't even run." You can't see any True Qi fluctuations in me, it's because I've never cultivated those things. I practice Haoran righteousness, and I learn Confucianism and authenticity. But now I have to do what animals do. ”
I looked at Chang Ke: "Dakang is afraid of death, I can understand it." Are you also afraid of death? Haven't Confucian people always been fearless of life and death? And why do you do it when you know you're not doing what you're doing? That's what Confucianism teaches? ”
