643 - Old Stories of Genzong
After the old man said this, he no longer paid attention to us, but turned around and looked at the stammering fairy who was tied up by five flowers, and suddenly smiled deeply, and when he spoke, everyone in the room was shocked and overwhelmed-
I heard the old man say in a deep voice to the stammering fairy: "Master, your old man is finally willing to come back......"
"Master, master?!"
Suddenly, the hall was full of shock, and everyone's stunned eyes converged towards the stammering fairy at the same time, and the stammering fairy, who had not said a word since he entered the house, and had been burying his face on the ground, finally raised his head faintly under the gaze of these several pairs of shocked eyes, glanced at the old man who was smiling at him, sighed, and said: "Hey, I thought I could avoid you, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you......"
"Master, what's going on?"
The four disciples of the Source Sect didn't seem to believe what they saw by their ears and eyes, and immediately asked in surprise towards their master, and after a while, they saw the old man wave his hand and signal everyone to shut up, and then raised his hand and pointed respectfully at the stammering fairy, and said with a smile: "It's time to introduce you, now this strange thing in front of you is none other than your master, and it is also my ancestor of the Yin Yang Dao Source Sect since modern times......"
"Old Ancestor Wen?"
Ma Hong was the first to exclaim, and then asked, "Master, are you old and confused?" You say, you say this thing is the 'Wen Old Ancestor' ancestor who is enshrined day and night in our main hall? ”
"That's right," the old man nodded solemnly, and replied: "During the Republic of China, my Yuanzong Yinmyoji was cut off for a while, and then a strange person 'Wen Laozu' came out to regroup for the Yuanzong and accept me and the other four senior brothers as apprentices, inheriting the Yuanzong magic, which made my Yuanzong renew the incense, 'Wen Laozu' is actually his pseudonym, and the word 'Wen' is the same as '媪 (ao three sounds)', which is the real name of this beast. Although this beast does not seem to be beautiful or amazing, it is actually a rare and exotic beast in the world, and it has survived for thousands of years. According to legend, during the reign of Qin Mugong, there was a hunter in Chencang who inadvertently caught a thing on the mass grave, like a sheep but not a sheep, like a pig but not a pig. When the hunter entered the court, he met two children, and one of the children said: "The name of this thing is 'Yuan', and he often hides in the ground to steal the brains of the dead, and he should be killed", and the girl was so angry that he said human words when he heard it, and said to the hunter: "These two boys are named Chen Bao, and the male is the king, and the female is the bastard", and the hunter went to catch the two children when he heard it, but the two children turned into a pair of pheasants and fled, and the hunter went to see the one again, and he had already fled...... Later, when Qin Mugong learned of this, he sent a large army into the mountains to search for Chen Bao, and finally caught the hen, which gradually became one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. After the hen was caught, it quickly turned into a sacred stone, and Qin Mugong ordered people to place the stone between the two rivers of Chencang and Wei, and Chencang, which was later known as Baoji in Shaanxi...... The woman mentioned in this ancient allusion is exactly this beast ......"
"Master, you, what do you mean, our master...... It turned out to be a ...... Is it a monster? ”
"What about demons?"
The old man twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "In this world, there is only good and evil, so why bother to divide more gods, monsters, and ghosts?" Although this woman is a monster in the mouth of the world, and she is good at eating human brains in ancient times, she is not evil in nature, and she is an old friend of one of my ancestor masters in the Yuan Sect in the previous dynasty......"
"His name is Song Shufang......"
Yuan, who had been silent, finally opened her mouth with a long sigh, and then said: "These are still what I told you at the beginning, since you and I are destined to meet again today, and you have spread out this matter to talk about it, then let buddy, no, let this ancestor himself explain it......"
After saying this, Yu was silent for a while, and after a long pause, he sighed secretly, and finally explained his karmic entanglement with the Yin Yang Family Source Sect-
During the Warring States Period in the Middle Ages, the Central Plains contended with a hundred schools of thought, the Yin and Yang family once became the head of the hundred schools, and the people were all over the world, and then Qin Shi Huang annexed the six countries to unify the Central Plains, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers of burning books and pit Confucianism, resulting in the vitality of the Yin and Yang family was greatly damaged, and then to the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 'deposed the hundred schools of thought, respected Confucianism alone', and used the army armor to strangle the hundred warlocks, which eventually led to the end of the 'nine streams extinction of the five', and the Yin and Yang family also suffered a great disaster.
When the catastrophe was approaching, the disciples of the two branches of the Yin-Yang family's 'origin and source' fled overseas one after another, and then gradually formed today's Japanese Yin-Yang Shinto, and the source sect stuck to the Central Plains and was unwilling to leave the homeland, which led to the survival of thousands of years and the cracks, and was on the verge of stunts several times, and the Yin-Yang family and the Taoist family had a grudge since ancient times, which made the situation of the Yin-Yang family in the Central Plains even worse.
Time is rising, when it comes to the former Qing Dynasty, after the painstaking management of the modern Yin and Yang family, although the Yin and Yang family can not be called to reproduce the glory, but also under the years of operation, the disciples gradually increased, and there is a great tendency to restore the lintel, and then to the end of the Qing Dynasty Tongzhi years, the source of the sect passed on to the hands of an ancestor named 'Song Shufang', the disciples have been many hundred, revival is just around the corner.
However, the good times did not last long, as the so-called 'blessings and misfortunes must be relied on', the Central Plains chaos in the same three years, the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' ignited the war, and the war spread all over the Central Plains in an instant, and the world was in turmoil and demons, and the people were not able to live for a while, and the people lived in fear, which was a catastrophe for the common people.
In order to survive this catastrophe and save the common people, the people of the Yuan Sect took the lead in going to various parts of the Central Plains under the leadership of Song Shufang, eliminating demons and saving the world at the cost of dying, and the number of disciples under the sect decreased sharply in a few years, most of them gave up their lives for the Tao, or their will was not strong and apostasy, and finally from the original more than 100 disciples to less than 10 disciples in the whole sect.
And it is this on the verge of extinction of life and death, the source of the sect suffered another disaster, because of the friction with the Taoist disciples when traveling to the folk to transform the common people, and finally led to the end of the Qing Dynasty Heavenly Master Dao, Yin and Yang Dao 'two ways to fight' the situation, Fu Zheng three mountains sent more than 1,000 disciples to strangle the source sect people, and finally the source sect was defeated, at that time there were only a few people left by the Daomen one by one to exterminate the Daomen, and finally all the disciples died, the ancestor Song Shufang also died with a martyrdom, the source sect has been extinct again since then, until decades later in the Republic of China period was continued.
And where this continuation came from, it starts with the chance between Song Shufang and Yuan (that is, the stammering fairy).
According to the stammering fairy, he has a penchant for sucking the brains of the dead since ancient times, so he has been entrenched in the mass graves of cemeteries all over the year round, and he is very happy in his heart whenever there is a war, because the war is together, and there is a steady stream of new things to his mouth for him to enjoy, and when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in turmoil during the Tongzhi period, it undoubtedly provided him with such an excellent opportunity.
At that time, where there was a war, Yuan would wait for an opportunity to move to 'make a living', and it was at this time, after a war, that Yuan happened to meet Song Shufang, who went to the battlefield to spend his soul, and had a big fight.
Although he was a thousand-year-old beast, he was defeated by the Demon Elimination Array of the Source Sect, and was finally captured by Song Shufang, who thought that he would die, who would have thought that Song Shufang did not take his life, because he saw that his nature was kind and his conscience was not clear, and he actually took it with him day and night to educate him carefully, and finally not only to remove the demon nature and change the evil and return to the right, but also to become close friends with him.
And Song Shufang knew that human life was short, but this strange beast had a lifespan of thousands of years, and when he thought of the weak inheritance of the Source Sect and the danger of the disciples, he made a bold decision to entrust all the spells and spells of the Source Sect that he had inherited to Yu Yuan, so that when the Source Sect encountered an accident again, someone could also carry forward the magic and continue the incense.
As a reward for Song Shufang's grace not to kill, she responded to Song Shufang's request, but she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at that time.
In the two years after that, Song Shufang taught the magic array spell in the sect, although he was a strange beast and could not perform these exorcisms, but he did not dare to slack off one by one, two years later, the 'two rivalries' ignited the fire of the exorcism world, Song Shufang gave up his life to testify that he died at the hands of Maoshan disciples, and he was sad and indignant, but at that time, the entire Daomen was patrolling everywhere to search for the whereabouts of the disciples of the Source Sect......
In order to achieve Song Shufang's entrustment during his lifetime, he began to look for suitable candidates to inherit the mantle of Yuanzong, and finally selected a total of five people, including Bai Wei, Ma Hong and other masters, as the heirs of Yuanzong, and selected the little-populated Wulong Mountain as its dojo, and began to pass on the Yuanzong technique from generation to generation under the pseudonym of 'Wen Laozu', which made the Yuanzong inheritance continue again.
And after giving the five disciples everything to the five of them can take charge of themselves, she retired from the heavy responsibility, and when she left, she told the five disciples not to reveal their identity as strange beasts, so as not to attract the talk of fellow Daoists and leave a stigma of 'demon and evil preaching' for the Source Sect.
After the five disciples should go down, Yuan retreated from the mountain, inevitably being discovered his relationship with the source sect, and since then he has never stepped on the mountain gate of Wulong Mountain, and has never mentioned to anyone the matter of preaching on behalf of 'Song Shufang'.
During the Republic of China, wars broke out, and four of the five disciples were lost in the troubled times, and finally one person remained to inherit the magic to this day, which is now the master of the 'Seven Uniques' of the Source Sect, that is, the old man with a childish face in front of us......
After she finished talking about the cause and effect of the past, everyone present except the old man was speechless, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, I heard a long sigh and said, "Hey, why do you recognize me today?" If it weren't for the fear that something would happen to Xiao Liuzi and Bai Wei, I wouldn't have gotten one step closer to Wulong Mountain if I died! I thought that I would only come to Wulong Mountain to report to you, so that I could hurry up and save them, and I would leave quickly, but who knew that I was caught by your three stupid apprentices, and even hung me on a tree to make me unable to get out, it was really a bad fate, a bad fate, ......a bad fate."
