The two old men drank boiled water and forgot about scolding the two of us.

Shi Qi sat next to the old thief: "Grandpa Yuan, I don't understand the affairs of Yangjia Village, can you tell me about it?" ”

The old thief put down the water cup: "Let the dog speak first, and I'll talk about what he doesn't understand." ”

Yes!

The principle of the patriarch thief has not been lost, or I would have to despise him to death.

I bit the steamed bun and said, "We have to talk about the things in Yangjia Village one by one." ”

"Let's talk about the Yang family tree first. The three people who were removed from the family tree should be warlocks, and their status is not low. ”

From the beginning of the Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for officials to be removed from the genealogy.

In ancient times, the punishment may be even more dangerous than the nine clans, and the officialdom battle is extremely dangerous, and the patriarch first went to the government to sign and draw a seal to remove the clansmen from the family tree, which is also a precautionary move.

However, the way to remove the family tree is also determined by the identity of the person concerned, and the person who is an official, especially a big official, is to start a new family tree. The one who is a ruler is directly removed.

However, expulsion does not prevent them from living with their families and interacting with relatives, and if they are safe and sound all their lives, they will naturally add them back in the future.

Song Jiang in "Water Margin" is like this!

In ancient times, there was another kind of person who was removed from the family tree, and that was the warlock.

It is not uncommon for high-ranking families to believe in Buddhism and cultivate the Tao, but there are very few people who become warlocks. Once someone does become a warlock, the patriarch will remove him from the family tree in the name of "ordination".

The reason is the same as that of officials and officials, the status of warlocks in ancient times was even more embarrassing, once they were charged with the crime of bewitching the public, it would be better, if they were guilty of a felony of "using witchcraft to bewitch and rebel", they would inevitably implicate the nine clans.

The reason why most warlocks were alone was not unrelated to the system of the time.

I continued: "If, according to the saying of the Magic, a warlock cannot fulfill his filial piety when he leaves home in this life, he must return to his family in the next life to repay the kindness of his upbringing. Those three warlocks are very likely to be reincarnated back in Yangjia Village again. ”

"At that time, the person who picked the red light was looking for three warlocks."

"I suspect that among the warlocks who went up the mountain with their backs back to the door was the Yang family."

The patriarch stroked his beard and said, "Well, that's okay!" Then I ask you, why do people who are looking for villagers to return to the village pretend to be warlocks. ”

"To stir up the memories of the reincarnated person's past lives." I responded, "Legend has it that before people are reincarnated, they will drink Meng Po soup to erase everything from their previous lives and make people live again. ”

"However, memories of past lives are not irretrievable, especially for people who were warlocks in their previous lives, and memories are more likely to be activated. Perhaps, at the beginning, those people didn't think about taking everyone in Yangjia Village away, but just wanted to target a few specific people. ”

As a result, they found no trace of the warlock. Only then did Yangjia Village be slaughtered. ”

The old thief nodded: "Well, it's okay!" ”

"What's the second thing you want to say?"

I said, "The second thing I said is, what's behind that gate?" ”

"When my spinner knife hits that gate, I don't know where it flies?"

"That place shouldn't be the underworld, and if it's a space opened up within the yin and yang barrier, I don't think it's like it. I've got to figure out where those people are going, or what they're trying to lure out, so that I can go to the next step and find out, right? ”

"Hmm!" The old thief nodded and said, "If you don't understand this, you can't actually blame you." Because, more than seventy percent of the warlocks have never touched this kind of secret space. ”

The patriarch said: "The underworld is far bigger than you think, and in addition to the hell that the underworld is in charge of, there are many small areas that have been abandoned by the underworld. ”

"The yin and yang barriers in these places are relatively weak, and the living can also enter and exit. These separate spaces are often occupied by powerful spirits and become their own territory. In the arts, these places are called: Ghost Mystery Realm. ”

"Ghost Mystery! There are big and small, the big secret realm is comparable to a country, and the small one is similar to a large shopping mall. What kind of scene is it depends on the preferences of the ghosts and gods who occupy the space. ”

I asked rhetorically, "Comparable to a country?" Is there really that much room for ghosts and gods? ”

The old thief was energetic again: "If you tell you to read more books, you won't listen, if you ask this in front of outsiders, I will have to blush." I ask you how big is Hades? ”

"You don't know, do you?"

"Then I ask you: How big is hell?"

"You still don't know, do you?"

"I tell you, you remember it for me."

"Let's take the Buddhist "Hell Product" as an example, where there are eight hells, and each hell has sixteen small hells. These hells are not like buildings, stacked on top of each other, but divided into different spaces. ”

"The eighteen levels of hell that Buddhism talks about are not calculated by the upper and lower levels of space, but by the time of torture. The first prison is 3750 years on earth, 30 days is a month, and December is a year, and the ghosts of hell need to serve 10,000 years in the first prison. That is, 13.5 billion years on earth. With each floor of hell, the time spent on punishment has to quadruple. ”

"If that's the case, the ghosts will only be able to enter and exit from hell, and after thousands of years, how many ghosts must be in it? Is the place small enough? ”

"The Taoist description of hell is probably similar."

"Hell is only a part of Hades, not the whole of Hades. Think about how big Hades is. So! Let me tell you, there is more space for the underworld to manage. ”

"As long as those demons and gods don't rebel, Hell won't bother to deal with them."

The patriarch thief couldn't help but scold when he said this: "Where have you learned that kung fu?" Yin and Yang Exploration Horse? ”

"Is that for you to go to the underworld? What is there to explore in Hades? Just find a psychic medium and ask about the things in the underworld. Do you still risk your life to spy on you? ”

"Yin and Yang Tanma is actually spying on the ghost and god space."

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "There is still this statement?" ”

There is no such expression in the "Exploring Horses" I studied, wow! Otherwise, I wouldn't be overwhelmed by a gate.

Shopkeeper Xu was also shocked: "Now there is still a Yin and Yang Tanma? Isn't this one extinct long ago? Could it be that the third master is also ......?"

"I'm not...... I'm not ......" The old thief waved his hand and said, "My grandson has another inheritance!" ”

Shopkeeper Xu looked at my eyes, and suddenly rose by three points: "Little third master, it really deserves its reputation!" This yin and yang exploration horse can spy on the world and assassinate ghosts and gods, the little third master is amazing! ”

"Awards, awards......" I was polite, but I was complaining frantically in my heart: I deserve my name! It was all the momentum that the patriarch thief created for me.

Now I finally figured out why Song Jiang went to report the number, and some people bowed their heads and called them brothers. That's all money to brag - brag about it! He gave others a little favor, and those people bragged for him, didn't "timely rain" come like this?
