Chapter 1033: Half-man, half-ghost (2)
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your things." Xu Changqing waved his hand, signaling Huo Cheng to be calm, and said, "Since these five spirit gods have been taken away by me one step ahead of me, it proves that these five spirit gods have no fate with my ninth-class lineage, and I will not force it. What's more, even if I force it away, these five spirit gods have been refined by you, contaminated with your Taoist aura, and will not be as good as my wishes." As he said, he turned to look at He Suqiu and said, "Justice Huo said that with the convenience of this shop, he has obtained a lot of treasures, which can be seen from the mountain stones, so I want to see if there are suitable treasures here that can fill the gap in my magic weapon."
He Suqiu looked at the treasure on the table and did not dare to touch it. After all, he was half a human and half a ghost. The Sunyou God and Yeyou God in the seven-star bracelet of Xu Changqing are both the orthodox guardian gods worshipped by Taoist sects. They are much more authentic than the ghost-turned spirit gods in the string of stone tablets on Huo Cheng's neck. Even if the divine power is banned in the magic weapon, it can still cause harm to He Suqiu. In addition, the best thing about the Zhang Tianshi's lineage is to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits. At that time, Master Zhang Tianshi used this magical method to destroy mountains and destroy ghosts in Qingcheng. Therefore, when the Sunyou God and Yeyou God worshipped in the Heavenly Master Mansion, they naturally absorbed some methods of controlling ghosts and gods in the Heavenly Master Mansion. Such a righteous god is equivalent to a nemesis to any ghost-like evil spirit.
Although he didn't get started, He Xuqiu's eyesight naturally could see the extraordinary and flaws of this treasure. Although he was famous for eating the esophagus, his eyesight to observe things is also a unique in the world of cultivation. According to legend, he has a secret method of observing things, which can see through the details of all spiritual objects. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is not completely nonsense. At least from this small shop, he has collected so many treasures that were rare in the past, and he can see his strong eyesight and extraordinaryness.
He Suqiu looked at the seven-star bracelet repeatedly for a long time, and finally looked at Xu Changqing with a slightly complicated look, and wrote with his finger: "If I read it correctly, the gods in this bracelet of Senior should be the gods worshipped by the Tianshi Mansion, right?"
Xu Changqing said in a little surprised: "The method of observing things I have taken is indeed some tricks, and you can see the depth of the magic weapon without touching it!"
"It's not that the younger generation has a way to observe things, but that the younger generation has seen the same offerings to the gods." He Suqiu wrote, and then stood up. He moved a few large boxes of miscellaneous items in the corner of the wall without any concerns about outsiders' observation, revealing the floor. From the naked eye, there was no strange place in the floor, but if you look at it with the Dharma, you will see that there were some talisman arrays engraved on the surface of the floor. The power of these talisman arrays not only formed a layer of illusion on the surface of the wooden board, but also formed a huge force inside the wooden board. If you have different methods of opening the door, ordinary people will never be able to lift the wooden board.
He Suqiu's fingers quickly slid on the wooden board and drew a pattern that looked like a symbol but a symbol. The wooden board shook slightly, and the formation force scattered on the surface also converged in. He Suqiu, who untied the magic array, raised the wooden board, revealing a vertically downward hole under the wooden board. Then he drilled in. After a while, he hugged three exquisite boxes of different sizes and buried it again.
He Suqiu carefully placed the box in his hand on the table, and then pushed one of the long boxes that were obviously filled with a scroll to Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing looked at the long box and did not open it immediately. The box itself was very exquisite. There were carved around it with patterns with obvious Taoist symbols such as turtles and cranes, clouds and dragons, and hidden figures, which made people feel that they were in harmony. However, on the lid of the box were engraved with various evil and evil ghost patterns. Moreover, in the center of the evil ghosts, the Taishang Zhengyi Shang Ling Bai Ghost Summoning Talismans, the direct descendant of the Tianshi lineage.
Xu Changqing thought of a record that he saw in a story about the notes of a Ming Dynasty literati. In this record, he mentioned an item, so he guessed: "Is this the box that Zhang Yuchu sealed hundreds of ghosts back then?"
He Suqiu nodded and wrote: "It's that box."
Although Xu Changqing has seen countless magical things in the Three Realms of Kunlun, I still feel a little incredible when I see this box, because this box has always been just a rumor recorded in folk legends, and the Tianshi Mansion has never admitted that there is such an item, so many people, including Xu Changqing, think that this box does not exist. However, now a box that does not exist in Xu Changqing's knowledge is placed in front of him, so it is hard not to surprise him.
In the eyes of the world, most people think of the origin of the Tianshi lineage of Zhang Daoling when they hear the title of Zhang Daoling. After the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms was circulated, Zhang Lu's name was gradually become well-known. After that, Zhang Tianshi was mediocre and had little reputation. Their existence was just an accessory to the title of Zhang Tianshi. Even if a cat and a dog were sitting in their position, there was no difference. However, among these Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Jixian of the Song Dynasty and Zhang Yuchu of the Ming Dynasty were definitely two great masters who inherited the past and opened the future. They also made their names remembered by the world like Zhang Daoling and Zhang Lu. Many people even believed that the Zhang Tianshi lineage should be divided into two sections, the front end should have been cut off when it reached the Yuan Dynasty, and the latter section should have started from Zhang Yuchu.
In the record that Xu Changqing read, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he summoned Zhang Yuchu into the palace and issued an order to let Zhang Yuchu do something, which was to wipe out the ghost kings in the Yin land in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, China was in chaos and people lived in vain. There were countless people who died of war. Due to the aftermath of Liu Bowen's killing of the dragon, the souls of these ordinary people and the soldiers who died in battle could not reach the sky or enter the earth. They could only wander in this world. Over time, ghost domains were formed in this place where the yin energy in this world were scattered.
After Zhu Yuanzhang entered China, he focused on the people's livelihood and had a stable dynasty, and did not take action to solve these ghost realms. Instead, because the practice world intervened in the replacement of the Chinese dynasty at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was very concerned about the various sects in the cultivation world. After ascending the throne, he immediately used the power of the Human Emperor to attack the cultivation world. Liu Bowen's killing of the dragon also had a great impact on the cultivation world, causing each sect to fall into an unprecedented decline and had no time to take care of the star-studded ghost realms on the land of China.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, the ghost realm in China not only did not decrease, but because Zhu Yuanzhang massacred the meritorious officials of the court in his later years, these meritorious officials and generals turned into ghost heroes and dominated the country. Their power had begun to affect the present world. In the world of cultivation, they colluded with various evil demons and heretics, and their power was strong enough to compete with the authenticity of immortals and Buddhas in the world of cultivation.
Reflecting on this, Zhu Di issued an order to ask Zhang Yuchu to clear the ghost realms on the land of China. What was the process of Zhang Yuchu's cleaning the ghost realm? It was not recorded in the scriptures of the cultivation world or the secular world. It was only mentioned in some folk legends, and it was full of all kinds of ordinary people's imagination, which made people in the cultivation world look like a joke. But one thing that is certain is that before Zhang Yuchu's death, the ghost realm on the land of China had almost disappeared, and it is unknown whether there was any connection.
In folk legends, Zhang Yuchu broke through the ghost realm and captured the thirty-six ghost kings who were in trouble with the world. He sealed these ghost kings in a painting, then put the painting into a box, sealed it with a talisman, and finally placed it in the forbidden area of the Tianshi Mansion to be worshipped day and night, in order to dissolve the evil spirits of these evil ghosts and become the guardian ghosts of the Tianshi Mansion.
Almost all those who hear this legend in the world think it is false, because this legend is so similar to the plot of the beginning of the chapter in Water Margin. The difference is only the location, the number and the existence of bans. It is obvious that the person who compiled this legend referred to the novel "The Legend of Water Margin". The Tianshi Mansion also handled this matter very strangely. He neither admitted this matter nor denied it, but just let it go with the flow. Therefore, many people maliciously speculated that this was a rumor deliberately spread by the Tianshi Mansion, just to show its reputation in the secular world and collect humanitarian power. After all, at that time, the cultivation world had discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was rapidly exhausted, and the power of humanitarian power began to dominate. If it could not adapt to the changes in humanitarian power, then the sects in the world could only perish in the general trend of heaven and earth. This situation was somewhat similar to the era in which Xu Changqing was now.
Although the talisman on the box in front of me was real, there was no magic power on the box, and there was no difference from an ordinary wooden box. Xu Changqing opened the cover of the box and saw a scroll inside. The scroll itself was simple and unpretentious, and there was nothing worth noting. It just emitted a faint aura of gods on the scroll. Although it was very weak, it was extremely pure. Like the God of Day and Night Tour, it was definitely a god of gods who had been worshipped in the country all year round.
Xu Changqing took out the scroll and held it in his hand to spread it. As the scroll opened, a powerful and righteous appearance of Zhong Kui appeared on the paper. With Xu Changqing's eyes, he could naturally see that this Zhong Kui appearance was not painted, but dyed, and the black that became painted dissipated from the paper, forming such a Zhong Kui appearance, and this black is not ink but the ghost energy condensed by countless evil spirit essences. Just estimating the size of Zhong Kui appearance, if you want to form such a painting, at least tens of thousands of evil spirits will need to be the natal ghost energy of tens of thousands of evil spirits.
"What a pity! What a pity!" Xu Changqing looked at the scroll in his hand and sighed: "If I had been worshipped for another hundred years, I am afraid that Zhong Kui in this painting could evolve from virtual to real, and evolve into an innate god, and a god in the country. Unfortunately, everything is ruined now."
