Chapter 3: The Secret of the Painting

"In my previous life, Guo Guifei left a trace, in this painting?" Vivi felt incredible, but when she thought about it, it was a dream, and anything weird that happened in a dream was very common.

It's a bit ridiculous though.

But listening to Xie Jing's unhurried and eloquent words: "Back then, Emperor Hui begged a magician from Penglai Immortal Island to cast a secret technique, so that the deceased person could be reincarnated as a human immediately without the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation, and come back from the dead. โ€

"Is there really six reincarnations?"

"Of course, the six realms are the Heavenly Path, the Humanity, the Animal Path, the Asura Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path. Every reincarnation is a painstaking practice. โ€

"That is to say, after death, people may be gods, ghosts, or flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and they may not necessarily be human beings in the world!"

"Everything has its own cause and effect!" Xie Jing sighed, "And the secret technique of the Penglai Fang Warlock is to change his life against the sky, take advantage of opportunistic tricks, and confuse the laws that the Six Realms have been balanced for a long time. โ€

Wei Wei said curiously: "Changing one's life against the sky, since some people have benefited from this, there must also be people who have been damaged." โ€

Xie Jing nodded yes, "This secret technique is a forbidden technique that does not enter the world, it is against humanity, back then, Emperor Hui was also forced to do so, and he was forced to do so~~"

"Then didn't Guo Guifei use secret techniques to be reborn back then?"

"It's too late", speaking of this, Xie Jing's old face, which had never seen joy and anger, suddenly grieved, "Niangniang is a poor person, you passed away in the palace for more than three months before you were carried to the western suburbs by those slaves for burial, and Emperor Hui had the opportunity to see you for the last time!" It's a pity that you have passed away for more than 100 days, and the Yuan Shen has been out of the body for too long, and the secret art has no effect! Fortunately, it is Niangniang, your resentment is too deep and too deep, you are bitter in your heart, Emperor Hui feels sorry for you, found a lot of places, used a lot of methods, through the last trace of resentment you left in Shaowu Palace, secretly asked the master to make a spell for three years, and only then did you detain a soul, and your three souls and six spirits are still tossing and turning in the world. โ€

Wei Wei listened to Xie Jing's words, and felt a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't say, thinking that this was fortunate that the secret technique didn't work, otherwise Guo Guifei escaped reincarnation, and where would I be Bai Weiwei now!

"If this Penglai secret technique wants to be successful, it also needs to have some conditions. The key is the first step, which is to cast a spell on the first seven days of the deceased's death to restrain the soul, and for 7749 days, the caster recites the Heart Sutra of the Prajaparamita Sutra 9981 times. This is to appease the deceased's original spirit, so that the three souls and seven spirits will not be dispersed, and then choose a suitable artifact, detain the soul in it and raise it, and wait for the opportunity to reincarnate as a human. โ€

"And what is this artifact? What is serendiity? โ€

"You have already seen this artifact, it is the old man's "Yunyang River Hidden Map", there is a portrait of you on the painting, and it is a thing from your and my era five hundred years ago, just enough to leave the rest of the adoptive mother, as well as the old man's original spirit."

"But this painting is clearly a copy of Professor Wu, not your real handiwork, which is very strange to me."

"No, this is the old man's painting. The old man has lived in this painting for hundreds of years from the six realms of reincarnation, and has cultivated a little magic that can be used to do it, and I have remade an identical "Yunyang River Hidden Map", replacing Professor Wu's copy of the painting, and then applying a little trick, so that Professor Wu inadvertently returned my new painting to the gallery, so that I can leave this old painting to bring to Niangniang. And there is no need to worry about any problems later, because both paintings are from the hands of the old man, but this old painting is the object used to detain the soul back then. โ€

Wei Wei thought to herself, "No wonder when I saw this painting, I thought that Professor Wu's copying skills were too superb, and it turned out to be a genuine ยทยทยทยทยทยท."

"It seems that Niangniang is quite skilled in painting skills in this life," Xie Jing said approvingly, "As for that Professor Wu, this time it was through his hand that he was able to find Niangniang smoothly, and the old man does have some connections with him!" Moreover, the old man who copied the painting saw it, and it can indeed be fake! โ€

Speaking of Professor Wu, Wei Wei suddenly remembered that Jiaying was going to return the painting tomorrow, and Wei Wei told Xie Jing about it.

"Well, Niangniang, you must find a way to keep this painting by your side tomorrow, and delay it for some time, this painting is very important to Niangniang! The old net worth and life will have to rely on the mother to help! โ€

"The task is so heavy!" What excuse do you have to leave a painting? Wei Wei's brain flashed, "Old Xie, what about Professor Wu's copy painting that you replaced, won't it be seamless for me to return it this time!" โ€

"So good, very good!" When Xie Jing heard this, he hurriedly crossed his hands in front of his chest, turned his palms to the sky, and silently recited the Sanskrit mantra that Wei Wei couldn't understand. โ€

Wei Wei looked amazing and stretched out her hand to take it, "Xie Lao Aicai, he actually properly collected Professor Wu's paintings." โ€

Xie Jing smiled and said in a deep voice: "I just talked about the artifact to detain the soul, so what about this opportunity, it is better to say that it is the body that contains the primordial god." As for human beings, it is generally the soul and the body that become one in order to stand in the world. The physical body is fleeting, but the consciousness of the divine soul can last for a long time, just like the old man, who has no physical body now, but can communicate with you with the help of foreign objects, and connect with the outside world, but there are limitations. โ€

Vivi nodded in agreement. There are still many things in this world that have not been discovered by human beings, and there are many phenomena that cannot be explained by modern science. Human beings live in a perceptible three-dimensional space, and at the same time are affected by time, and the theory of strange forces and gods that used to be considered ghosts and fairies can now be understood in terms of dimensional space, parallel space, and space-time interlacing.

Xie Jing continued, "There are only three kinds of physical bodies sought by the secret arts, one is the unborn fetus or the baby within seven days of birth; the second is that the body that has died within seven days can carry the memories of the original owner during his lifetime at the same time, but it is necessary to ensure that the body is not damaged; The third is to take away the body of a living person who has been conscious, but it may be difficult to implement this secret technique on the living, and if you are not careful, the living and the dead will be wiped out", speaking of this, Xie Jing stopped and looked at Wei Wei fixedly, "And you are different, you are the reincarnation of the concubine, you are one, although you are a living person, but there is no such thing as taking away, casting this secret technique, just let Niang Niang your missing soul return to the original god, three souls and seven spirits gather, you can recall the past in your previous life." โ€

After speaking, Xie Jing turned around and sat down on the Luo Circle chair beside him, took a few breaths, stretched out his right hand tremblingly to the inner arms of the long shirt, and carefully took out a sweet white glazed porcelain bottle the size of a goose egg with a short mouth and a round body, the glaze of the bottle was as white as jade, warm and luster.

Xie Jing leaned over and held the porcelain bottle with both hands, "Niangniang, the things in this bottle are very important, the decay has been preserved close to the present, and I dare not slack off, I invite you to come this time, I want to hand over this thing to you!" โ€

Wei Wei was startled, and asked repeatedly: "Could it be that the bottle is Guo Guifei's spirit?" โ€
