Chapter 4: The Secret of the Secret Marriage
In 1968, Li Xiaoqing lived with the old Taoist priest for more than a year, and the two left Yanjing at the end of the year and began to go south, going to Sichuan and Shu to visit the old man's old friend of the Zhengyi faction of Heavenly Master. In this era, the sect was torn apart, and the only ones who dared to promote the Tao in private were the Quanzhen faction and the Zhengyi faction. Among them, Quanzhen is mainly based on cultivating the nature and cultivating the truth, not Shang Fu Gong, vegetarian, growing hair, becoming a monk, and not marrying, and is mainly released in the north. The Zhengyi faction is dominated by talismans, except for fasting days, they generally do not taboo food, get married, and do not grow hair; that day, the Taoist friends of the master and the old man Hui had an appointment, and they hid from Yanjing to the mountains of Xishu early.
Hui Lao Taoist priest didn't bring any food stamps, at that time, you had to carry the national food stamps when you went out of the province, otherwise you would have no food to eat, and you would have to starve, but since Li Xiaoqing followed the old man, let alone starving, he never left the meat at all, and there was something delicious at all. But for weddings, funerals, and weddings, everyone has to have a lot of blood and hold a few tables of wine banquets.
Li Xiaoqing followed the old Taoist all the way, as long as the old Taoist priest met someone who died, had a birthday, a child was full moon, built a new house, married at home, red and white ceremonies, weddings and funerals, the old Taoist priest put on his Taoist robe and went to eat, without saying a few words, people gave the old man cigarettes and toasts, and the old man did not refuse to smoke and drink, and put them in his pocket. The old man is like having a dog's nose, he knows where someone is marrying a daughter-in-law and where his father and mother are dead, and he holds a gossip plate all day long.
This Li Xiaoqing naturally became the little apprentice of the old Taoist, but Li Xiaoqing didn't talk much and didn't like to talk much, and Li Xiaoqing felt that the old Taoist priest was sometimes quite unauthentic, and when he met a rich man, he didn't even feel like a master outside the world.
The reason why Li Xiaoqing followed the old Taoist priest was that this person wholeheartedly taught Li Xiaoqing Taoist classics and techniques, and the second was that after Li Xiaoqing learned these classics, he was able to understand the three exercises in his body. This is a good thing, Li Xiaoqing feels that his internal strength has grown every day, especially the tendons and bones, half a year ago, he suddenly could look inward, and saw every tendon and vein in his body, and every pore breathing and running.
After that, Li Xiaoqing studied Taoism and practiced kung fu at the same time, and the old man also knew that Li Xiaoqing had a profound qigong method, and Li Xiaoqing also intended to teach a few tricks, but the old man was not rare.
"My foundation for this age has been completed, you give me the qi trick, it's useless for me to practice, then my kung fu will have to be scrapped and restarted. Li Xiaoqing also knew that this old man should have a good set of tricks, but people didn't care about it.
Today, the pseudo-master and apprentice duo followed a group of people who greeted their relatives and prepared to go to dinner. But the expressions of the team sending relatives and welcoming relatives were very heavy, these people spoke loudly with a Hunan provincial accent, and Li Xiaoqing had never seen a marrying in the middle of the night. As soon as he wanted to ask, the old Taoist priest stopped him and said: This is a "bone corpse" Look at those bride prices or something, most of them are paper paste.
However, the "goose cage", "wine sea", dragon and phoenix cakes, elbows, and happy fruits sent by the man to the woman are all real, but the clothes and jewelry are papier-mΓ’chΓ© utensils. The family will definitely set up a table later.
"Master, why do I feel that this atmosphere is a little wrong. β
"Well, this coffin is too yin, the woman didn't send her relatives, it is estimated that the corpse is not coming in the right way, you look at the coffin, it is still a blue charm, it stands to reason that the person who drew the charm is okay, but the head of the charm is written nondescriptly, it is definitely written in a hurry. (The material of the talisman is roughly divided into five categories: gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow, the golden talisman is the most powerful, and at the same time requires the caster's Taoism to be the highest, and the power consumed is also the largest, silver is second, purple, blue is secondary, and the lowest power is yellow, which is also the most ordinary talisman, most Taoist priests can only stay in the use of yellow talismans throughout their lives due to their general understanding.) οΌ
"Is that a ghost charm?"
"No, the things in Fu Seal Town are more fierce than the ghosts, the coffin is painted on both sides of the five beasts and seven stars (green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, Xuanwu, lion (foxy), the seven stars refer to the Big Dipper), the person who sealed the coffin is proficient in the five beasts and seven stars body protection method, suppressing the evil spirit, this technique is ancient, it is estimated to be the coffin of the light year. β
"Master, there is a doorway for this coffin?"
"The doorway is big, if this coffin is moved to someone's ancestral grave, no matter how good the feng shui of your ancestral tomb is, it will suffer. β
"Master, let's take care of this?"
"I can't care about it, in this era, no one dares to take care of such a big scene, the family is either a big party, or the few people in front of me are walking with the wind, they should be in the army. The old Taoist priest said lightly.
"I'm going to ask this family what's going on. Li Xiaoqing trotted over.
After a while, Li Xiaoqing ran back and said, "Senior, their village has a history, and the second child of this family is Wang Erchun of the Hunan Provincial Revolutionary Committee, who did it for his second mother and father. β
"That's interesting. β
"When his stepmother died in Yu Province, at that time the Japanese ghost occupied Yu Province, his father took him back to his hometown, and after the liberation, he caught up with this major event in the past few years, Wang Erchun was the first to rebel in the factory, and knocked down the director of their machine tool factory, and later forced the party secretary to step down, and the people became famous all of a sudden. β
"I said, no wonder those Red Guards didn't come to make trouble with them, saying that they wanted to defeat the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but they did it themselves in the village. The old Taoist priest said this, but walked up to the gang with steps.
"Fellow, is this bride a hand-over? or is it a comprador by someone?"
"Well, I'll tell you the truth, this matter is going to be arrested, and no one cares about us in this poor and remote place. But this bride is the original match, the king of our village, before he died, he had to be buried with his second wife, but at that time there was no money, and he was reluctant to go so far to move the grave. β
"Isn't it over if you move the grave, why do you have to get a secret marriage?" Hui Laodao then asked
"Ma San from our village said that three generations of his family showed feng shui to the people of our village, can there be any mistakes?"
"What is the relationship between Ma San and that Erchun?"
"It's been a lot of trouble in the past few years, although Erchun said that he was protecting him, but he didn't mix well, Ma San's father was captured by Wang Erchun and died in the cowshed in the city. As he spoke, he pointed to the Taoist priest who was walking at the front with a spirit flag, this man had a blue nose and swollen face, and had obviously been beaten.
The old Taoist priest walked over without saying a word, but Ma San was startled. The two talked with their faces close to each other, and after talking for a while, Hui Laodao patted Ma San, Ma San gritted his teeth, and then walked away. Li Xiaoqing didn't know what the two of them whispered, and he was anxious for a while.
After a while, the old man came back with a sad face, and he hurriedly walked up and asked.
"Master, this coffin is definitely not the second wife of the old man Wang. β
"You may have dug it out of some grave, you say. β
"Then why did Ma San do such a desperate thing?"
"Xiaoqing, that person is not a good thing, let's go straight after the meal. β
"Seniors, I always feel that there is something strange about this. β
"What's weird? Ma San's father is a fortune teller in their village, a few years ago, he was beaten into a cow ghost and snake god, and the family's land was also confiscated, and now Wang Erchun found Ma San and asked Ma San to help take a look, Ma San didn't agree, and was beaten. Now Ma San can let go of Wang Erchun, and now there is no rule on this road, which is like us back then. β
Then the man did so cruel to his children and grandchildren. β
"People are afraid of the present world report, in fact, the future world is scary, this Ma San's feng shui can have a set of people, but this person's heart is not right, this hand is too vicious. This Hui Lao Dao pinched his beard and said with a big grin.
"Senior, let's take a look later?"
"No, it's none of our business. β
"But Ma San chose this thing to be buried, isn't the village going to suffer?"
"Ma San can find this skeleton, which shows that this kid is well-connected, who knows what ruthless people are behind him. β
As soon as he entered the village, he beat gongs and drums, and the whole family was considered rich, and he entered the ancestral hall and placed the ancestors, and set up the flowing water seat, and the old man still ate and took it, and finally left with Li Xiaoqing.
"Then why did Ma San go?"
"The coffin went up. β
"Senpai, how do you know?"
He had a wedge pinned to his waist and a candle with him. β
"Shall we take a look?"
"Let's go, then. Originally, the two of them walked to the entrance of the village and saw Ma San sneakily going out, Li Xiaoqing hurriedly dragged the old man to take a look.
This Ma San was next to the coffin in the backyard, muttered a few words, lit a candle on the coffin board, and then smashed a hole in the right foot of the coffin with a wedge, stuffed a wine bottle, and saw the green corpse water flowing into the bottle. The candle on the coffin board flickered and seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
"This corpse is so poisonous!" The old man and Xiaoqing hid outside and took out two yellow talismans, and a fire suddenly lit up in their hands, and after burning the talismans, they immediately stuffed them into the bottle, and without saying a word, they poured a sip into Li Xiaoqing, and drank it themselves.
"Senior, that man's face is green. β
"Do you think anyone can draw this Lingbao Spring Talisman? He sucked corpse poison, and he didn't live for more than ten years before his whole body festered and died. β
"Did he take a bottle of corpse poison and prepare for it?"
"See the jar over there?"
"He's going to poison him, and if he succeeds, won't all the people who are making fun today die here?"
"This old corpse gathers poison and yin, the poisoned person is half of the body, the skin is itchy, and the serious person is festering and dies, and now the plan is to stop him. β
"I'm going to subdue that guy. β
"You calm down first, there is another yellow talisman on the blue talisman, and the yellow talisman is a fire-gathering talisman, if he is cornered, the monster in the coffin will inevitably be released, and then things will be difficult to do. The old Taoist priest said flatly.
"Senior, can't you control the things in the coffin?"
"It can be cured, but it's too hard, and I don't have time to set up the formation, I'm afraid that the dirty thing will run away, I'll give you a talisman, and you go to him and take off the fire talisman." β
The old man read in his mouth: "The Northern Emperor's paper, the book talisman fights evil ghosts, dare to disobey, the soul is scattered, and the urgency is like a law" You carry this talisman, if that thing comes out, it can also protect you for a while.
"Hmm. Li Xiaoqing took the talisman seal, climbed to the roof with his right hand, lifted the tiles on the roof, watched the horse san poison wholeheartedly, suddenly broke the roof, fell on the coffin board, and tore the fire talisman on the blue talisman with his left hand.
"What person!" Ma San's hand shook, and the green corpse water suddenly fell on his feet, and the right foot immediately began to melt, and emitted a foul smell, and after a while, the bones were exposed.
"You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. Li Xiaoqing looked at Ma San and said.
"Is it you? I knew it was you. Ma San sat on the ground sluggishly, and the rotten feet began to be covered with corpse spots, and after a while, they grew to their waists.
"Even if you have a great grievance, you can't do such a hurtful thing. Hui Lao Dao walked out and took it
"Haha, you're talking. If your whole family dies, can you still say that?" Ma San said helplessly.
