Chapter 4, Thirty-six Counties, Seventy-two Town Soul Towers!
"Demon Dao" Situ Hanging in the Sky "is the national teacher of the dynasty, the first disciple of the first gate faction "Qianyuan Palace" in Dongzhou.
This person is well-versed in Lianshan, Tibet, and Zhouyi. He is good at divination, alchemy, and supernatural powers.
What's more, Situ hung his evil words to bewitch the Great Chu Emperor, seek immortality, and cultivate the way of "Yin and Yang Harmony", causing the Great Chu Emperor to ignore the government.
Situ hung in the air, mutilated Confucian scholars, and executed all those who disagreed with him. The emperor does not go to court, and the national teacher dominates the court. Seventy-two soul towers were built in various parts of Dachu to fish and flesh the people.
Thirty years later, today, it is estimated that the demon Dao Situ is already in the sky.
However, now the Great Chu Dynasty is still surnamed Chu. As for the matter of the imperial capital, I have never heard of it anymore in the borderland." After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the already cold "Storm Horse Flower Tea" on the table and drank it all.
"Grandpa, is the emperor looking for immortality, is he going to cultivate immortals?
The old man was stunned, looked at Lin Yusheng's little face and said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, emperors have been looking for immortality, but they are all because the killing is too heavy, which is against the way of heaven. Sima suspended the construction of seventy-two soul towers, clearly to transform the yin soul and find good results for His Majesty. It is really a way to hide the heavens and cultivate ghosts and evils. Situ Lao Thief used the soul towers of Dachu to plunder boys and girls, peek at their Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang, and a certain Yin and Yang combination technique.
The 36 counties under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu Dynasty all have a town soul tower, and we have a town soul tower in Guangling County. As for the exact location, it is not known. The farther away this demonic thing is from us, the better.
Yusheng, the village is a place of suffering, and most of the villagers have never left the village. You are curious about the outside world, of course, driven by innocence, grandpa, I have already told you about the outside, do you still want to go out and have a look?"
The old man laughed again, and added solemnly: "Many children have disappeared in Guangling County in the past few years, and it is estimated that they are all related to the Soul Tower.
Lin Yusheng nodded solemnly and said, "It's better for us to rely on the mountain village, eat well, dress warmly, and sleep soundly." Grandpa, I know the teachings, don't run around.
Then after listening to my grandfather's deeds of Da Chu, I will go back and continue to study the Huayang Sutra."
The old man asked again: "After reading the Huayang Sutra for two years, have you made any progress?
Lin Yusheng replied: "Grandpa, what is written in the scriptures: Hug Yuan Shouyi, through the mysteries. All laws are one, not peculiar. What does it mean? Is "hugging Yuan Shouichi" holding my hands around my chest like holding a big watermelon? I practice this method every day, but I don't feel anything. Also, what are the ten thousand laws, and how can they be one, and what are the wonders of the future?
The old man was also asked, he was a Confucian bachelor, and he couldn't understand this Taoist classic "Huayang Sutra" for decades.
The old man smiled and said: "Have you ever read in the scriptures that sincerity can all things be one, and then meet to look at Beidou in the south." At this point, you have to forget one another, and you can be the same as creation. That's a commentary.
When you go back, it is better to study the Huayang Sutra well, which will be of great benefit to the improvement of your mental character. Okay, go home, your father and mother are coming back from work. Remember not to run around, especially not to run out of the village without permission, you know"?
"Grandpa, I know!" Lin Yusheng replied as he ran towards home.
But what I thought in my heart, it wasn't as well-behaved as it said.
Lin Yusheng returned home, and his grandmother Lin had already prepared the meal. My father and mother had just returned from working in the fields. Lin Yusheng hurriedly carried a bucket and scooped up water for Lin Dazhu to wash his hands.
"Daddy, let me go to the field tomorrow to hoe weeds, swing a sword at home every day, and read very boring."
Lin Dazhu said with a smile: "No! No, I finished all the work in the field today." I'm going to try my luck tomorrow in the back mountain, and I'm going to look for a "mallet" in my treasure land! The year before last, the six-pint leaf was found in a treasure land, son, do you want to dig a small mallet with your father tomorrow? Hahaha laughed, Lin Dazhu teased his son, ".......
"Where are you two muttering, why don't you come over and eat." Mother Ah Lian shouted.
After dinner, Lin Yusheng returned to his hut and continued to meditate and comprehend the world. Running the true qi for a small week, the real qi is circulating, and it is gradually getting better.
Pranayama, closing the gong and opening his eyes, it is estimated that it has taken three hours to achieve the luck, and it is late at night. Tonight is the fourteenth day of the month, the waxing gibbous moon. Walking out of the hut, looking at the night sky of the Big Dipper, the Big Dipper was stunned, standing in the courtyard, watching the starry sky Beidou for a long time.
Suddenly, a touch of brilliance on the horizon quietly disappeared into the back mountain, if it weren't for Lin Yusheng's cultivation of internal strength, the unobstructed acupoints of the Dumai Yintang and his astonishing eyesight, or he had been facing south, visualizing the direction of the Beidou. If ordinary people would not be able to perceive the subtle changes and strangeness in the night sky.
"At midnight, there was a flash of light. Looking at this subtle streamer sinking into the depths of the back mountain, Bai Mang Mountain! My father once said that when I was born, I was born with a solar eclipse, and the fire flowed in July, and the daytime meteor also fell into the depths of the back mountain. At this time, the same subtle streamer also fell to the back mountain, is there any treasure in the back mountain."
The Book of Mountains and Seas: The sky descends and flows in one place, and there must be strange treasures here.
Lin Yusheng reviewed the records in the classics to confirm this extraordinary celestial phenomenon.
There was a creak, the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Yusheng, what are you doing standing there, don't go to sleep yet." Lin Dazhu called.
"I see, Daddy, I'll pee and go back to sleep."
Lin Dazhu scolded softly: "This stinky boy is always chattering. But then I thought about it, my Lin Dazhu's son is the reincarnation of Fuxing, how can Fuxing not be magical."
The two of them, walked to the fence of the yard and relieved themselves. When Lin Dazhu put the water halfway, a cool breeze suddenly blew, and Lin Dazhu snorted coldly, this is not good........ "July Sanfu, where did the cool air come from, and the old man peed a shoe."
Lin Dazhu scolded repeatedly: "Bad luck".
Lin Yusheng froze, not daring to laugh.
Both of them yawned and were sleepy. Lin Dazhu patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget to get up early to dig the mallet." Then they went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
In the early morning, the masculine rooster crowed, Lin Dazhu, Lin Yusheng, father and son got up early and had a meal. Ah Lian also lightened pitcher plant water on her son to prevent mosquitoes and insects. Each of them carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and walked all the way along the sheep intestine path stepped out by the villagers, heading towards Baimang Mountain.
This way, Lin Dazhukou is like a river hanging on the river, talking about all kinds of magic of that treasure land. Lin Yusheng listened to his father's eyebrows flying, and also echoed: "Dad, we will definitely be able to dig it today, big stick mallet"!
The father and son climbed up the mountainside, and Lin Dazhu pointed to a depression in the depths of Baimang Mountain and said, "Yusheng, you look over there, yes!
"Dad, what's over there? There don't seem to be any trees, it's black like a big pit."
"Yes, that's it! It's bare, there are no trees. That black pit has not grown grass and trees for more than eight years, and it is a dead land."
Lin Dazhu had seen the depression eight years ago, and the depression had not changed in the past eight years. It has always been a black soil turned out, showing a basin shape, and the villagers are afraid to approach, unanimously believing that it is an ominous place, a Jedi, a place of death.
