After I heard this, I glanced at Meng Changqing and saw that Meng Changqing didn't say anything, so I didn't say anything, and I had to be wary of anyone. |.|
Shen Fu was also unwilling to tell us too much, and did not discuss this topic in depth.
On the way back, we met some villagers who rushed over. Seeing us, we hurriedly asked Shen Fu what he was screaming just now. Their scalps were numb from hearing it in the village.
Shen Fu told the villagers what happened just now. After listening to the villagers, they first strongly thanked Meng Changqing and Shen Fu for their kindness, and then looked at Meng Changqing and sighed, saying that people often came here before, and they came here for nothing. After a while of destruction, I left. I thought we were the same as them. I didn't expect that the people who came were more powerful than the other, and they were the gods sent down from the sky.
When the villagers said this, Shen Fu and Meng Changqing were very happy and didn't say anything. Rural people like to compare powerful or admired people to heavenly soldiers and generals.
After returning to the village, the villagers welcomed them into the village chief's house, and chatted with Meng Changqing and Shen Fu. I ran back to the sleeping room by myself. I just pointed the brush to the air and started to draw. I have seen a lot of Fu, but I have never drawn it.
After painting for a while, I felt bored, and seeing that Meng Changqing hadn't come back, I went to Xiaoxiao's side and secretly took out the book "Walking Horses in the Water" under her pillow to read.
This book is not thick, only about sixty or seventy pages, and it is a manuscript, not a printed one.
The book is divided into five volumes, namely Dragon, Cave, Sand, Water, and Direction. The title page introduces some things related to Feng Shui.
I flipped through the pages one by one, not missing a single word, read a sentence and meditated for a while to understand the meaning of it.
The next day I went outside when the rooster crowed and I didn't see them coming back. After watching them all night, my eyes were full of soreness and pain, so I put the book back under Xiaoxiao's pillow, ran out and stretched for a while, and then went to Find Meng Changqing and the others.
Meng Changqing and the others chatted late with the villagers in the village chief's house last night and didn't come back, so they opened a shop and slept there.
When I went, he and Shen Fu were preparing glutinous rice, yellow flags and other things, and said that they would go to the ancient temple to find the person who chanted sutras at noon.
After the preparations, Meng Changqing asked Shen Fu which sect he belonged to. Shen Fu did not hide this question, saying that he belonged to the Maoshan sect.
The practice of Zhengyi is different from other sects. Taoist priests of Zhengyi don't need to become monks, they can practice at home by themselves.
Shen Fu told Meng Changqing that he completed his studies while cultivating the Tao. He has been in the Tao for five or six years, and he is still a layman.
Meng Changqing said that it is good to study more, and then he also reported his family name, saying that he is from the Jingming Daoyuzhen sect.
When he worshiped Meng Changqing as his teacher, he introduced to me the current distribution of Taoism. It is divided into five branches. Judging from the number of disciples under the sect and the degree of incense, Quanzhen Taoism far surpasses other sects. It is the True Dao, then the Taiyi Dao, and finally the Jingming Dao.
Jingming Dao has been on the decline for nearly a hundred years, and up to now, only Yuzhen's sect is left. As for the factions under the Zhengyi faction, there are still many factions, and Maoshanzong is the largest faction under the Zhengyi faction.
After breakfast, Meng Changqing and the others wandered around the valley, trying to find clues. At around nine o'clock, the two of them returned to the village with a bundle of mahogany trees on their backs.
After arriving at the village, let us put their respective burdens on the peach trees on their backs, and then went to the ancient temple.
The villagers knew that they were going to find the thing that chanted scriptures, and they were surprised, so they all followed, and I was naturally one of them.
The weasel's body was still in the corner, and it was already covered with mosquitoes in just one night. When the villagers saw it, they dragged it out and buried it.
As soon as Meng Changqing and the others entered, they planted yellow flags and peach stakes in the yard. Afterwards, the corners of the walls were filled with sandalwood. For a while, the white smoke lingered in the ancient temple, and it was easy for people to have the illusion of being in the clouds.
After the sandalwood was burnt, they took their compass and searched in the Taoist temple. They walked around and stopped outside the outermost house on the left. It was the same room that the weasel ran into yesterday. .
We waited outside. Meng Changqing and the others went in first, and after a while they came out to let the villagers find hoes. Both of them changed into Taoist robes here.
What Shen Fu put on was a yellow Taoist uniform, while Meng Changqing still wore his purple Taoist uniform.
Shen Fu was stunned for a moment when he saw Meng Changqing's clothes, then he bowed respectfully and called his uncle, Meng Changqing also bowed in response, and after the villagers brought the hoe, they called the villagers to enter the house.
The house was similar to Meng Changqing's house in Anshunguan, except that it was a little messier.
There is a picture of Sanqing hanging on the inside of the room, and below is an altar. There are a few half-burned incense sticks on the incense altar, and there is a pile of relatively fresh fruits next to the sandalwood. I guess that the second grandma came here to worship not long ago. Pass.
Behind this incense altar is a spiritual tablet, on which there is no identity and origin written, only a "Lu Hao's spiritual tablet" is written.
Meng Changqing and the others asked the villagers to remove the altar and dig it down from directly below.
When I saw him, I said, "He might be a Taoist priest here, and he just recited scriptures here after he died. I don't think it's appropriate to dig him out like this. Anyway, I'm with you guys. You guys are too cruel."
"Although he is unintentional, if he continues to read here, what if another Uncle Huang appears after a while?"
What he said left me speechless, but he just waved his hand and said, "Go dig it, dig it, go dig it." Then he muttered, "You guys are the ones who are wicked."
Meng Changqing gave me a white look and told me to squat down and play in the mud.
After I retreated to the side, the villagers continued to dig up the soil here, and there was nothing to be seen after going down three or four meters. When the villagers were about to give up, someone shouted that they saw something strange.
Meng Changqing and the others hurriedly went to check, and then continued to dig there, and a vermilion coffin appeared in front of everyone.
The coffin has not yet decayed, it is about two meters long, and the body of the coffin is covered with runes drawn with cinnabar, which are extremely esoteric and difficult to understand.
Shen Fu looked at the coffin back and forth, and then said: "Looking at this technique, it seems to be from the hands of the Taoist ancestor Meng of the Maoshan sect. I think it's strange. Let's take a closer look before opening the coffin."
Meng Changqing nodded in agreement, and then asked Shen Fu about the Taoist surnamed Meng that he said.
After Shen Fu knew that Meng Changqing was a Taoist priest of Jingming Dao, he had no reservations about him, saying that the Daoist surnamed Meng was the former head teacher of the Maoshan Sect, named Meng Weiye, who left the Maoshan Sect because of an accident, and took away the Maoshan Sect's disciple. The Great Cave Seal of the Qing Dynasty, because an ancestor of the Maoshan sect told him that Meng Weiye had been here. The purpose of his coming here this time is to look for the 'Shangqing Great Cave Seal', and to inquire about Meng Weiye's news by the way.
Meng Changqing nodded after hearing this, and did not tell him that Meng Weiye was his grandfather's business, but said: "Since it is written by Maoshan's head teacher, it means that the things inside must not be simple. It is a good thing to be cautious."
After the two of them agreed, they took out more than a dozen copper coins and pasted them around the coffin, and then chanted a spell to press the contents inside the coffin. A few minutes later, they checked the copper coins and found that the color had not changed, so they concluded that the contents of the coffin were gone. Negative breath, and then waited for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang Qi is the heaviest at 3:00 noon, so even if the things inside are powerful, they will be more or less affected by Yang Qi. This is also the reason for beheading at 3:00 noon in ancient times.
Before the opening of the museum, the two of them invited everyone out. When I was about to go out, Meng Changqing called me in. He said with a smile on his face that he would let me stay there and see more things. Let me go out and try my hand.
In rural areas, there is a saying that the coffin should be sealed no more than three times, which means that the nails in the coffin can only be knocked in three times, and all the nails must be knocked out.
The same is true for the opening of the museum. It takes three clicks to open the lid. I don't know the reason for it. The tradition left over from the past naturally has its reasons.
Meng Changqing and Shen Fu had a clear division of labor. Shen Fu recited the mantra of saving souls while Meng Changqing went down to open the museum.
In less than ten minutes, dozens of nails were pulled out, and then Meng Changqing suddenly lifted the lid of the coffin.
As soon as it was opened, a gust of Yin Qi gushed out from inside, Meng Changqing leaned slightly, and then covered his face with his big sleeves.
Shen Fu also took a few steps back, the inside of the room was instantly filled with a dark wind, even the weeds outside the room were swept away.
The villagers outside were startled and exclaimed, and then asked if the people inside were okay.
Meng Changqing came out of the pit in two or three steps, and waited until the gush of Yin Qi dissipated before telling the outsiders that it was all right.
After the yin inside cleared away, Meng Changqing and the others came closer to take a look.
There was nothing else in the coffin except a corpse wearing a purple Taoist robe. After a second or two, a wisp of white smoke dissipated into the air.
Seeing the green smoke, Meng Changqing and Shen Fu looked at each other, and both sighed that it was terrible.
I hurriedly asked what was the matter, Shen Fu turned his head and said to me: "There was a ray of obsession in this coffin, and it was affected by Yang Qi just now when the museum was opened, causing it to completely dissipate."
After hearing this, I thought it was a good thing, so that no one would chant scriptures inside, and I wouldn't have to worry about the second uncle Huang.
Shen Fu said solemnly: "There is a lot of articles under this coffin. We made a mistake. The runes on this coffin do not seal the people in this coffin. The runes on this coffin and the people inside are just seals." It's just a part of it, the real sealed thing is still under this coffin."
"Then what to do?" I asked.
"The rune and the obsession inside the coffin have been destroyed, and the things inside must not be sealed. Now we can only release him and deal with him manually."
