When the elders pass away, the younger generations must wear sackcloth and filial piety, which vary according to the distance of blood.
The grandchildren should wear a filial piety hat, while the female relatives should wear a filial towel. Nephews should wear filial piety hats with two horns, and female relatives should also wear filial towels. As for the son, a white cloth strip should be wrapped around the head and a knot should be tied in the left front, commonly known as the "wrench".
As for the thing in front of me, the cloth is white cloth, the bricks are red bricks, and a three-foot strip of cloth is wrapped around a part of the bricks, and it just tied a knot.
Looking at this object, everyone present felt chills down their spines. Wu Chao even dropped it with a bang, and he was so frightened that he fell down.
"Could it be something that hates victory?"
The two monks looked at each other, and initially judged that this matter had exceeded their own capabilities, so they quickly contacted their superiors and notified the Tianshi Cave in Qingcheng Mountain.
Around the afternoon, a group of people from both sides came, all of them were innate monks.
The one on Mount Qingcheng is called Wu Zhenzi, who is in his forties, and is a high-level practitioner of Guan Nei. He held the brick with the dust whisk, looked at it for a moment, nodded and said: "It is indeed a thing of disgust!"
Dislike (read pressure) wins, which originated from ancient witchcraft and has a long history.
Simply put, it uses some props and specific forms, such as peach plates, straw figures, jade plaques, copper coins, etc., to achieve a curse.
The curse is the core of the victory-weariness technique. The famous Nailhead Seven Arrows book in "Fengshen Yanyi" has obvious traces of disgust.
Generally, when this thing is mentioned, the impression is extremely bad. In fact, it is also divided into people. Good people cast spells to bless and eliminate disasters, while bad guys cast spells to commit crimes.
"In the early stages of recovery, I occasionally heard about this kind of trick, but I haven't heard of it since then... When did such a master who hates victory appear?" The official monk was also very surprised.
"Wear filial piety, wear filial piety exclusively, coax people to hide in their own walls, relatives will die one after another, and funerals will continue. This is a means of destroying the family. It is extremely vicious and cannot be used unless there is a deep hatred."
Wu Zhenzi turned to Wu Chao and asked, "Are you sure you have no grievances or enmities with others?"
"..."
Wu Chao didn't say a word, almost dumbfounded. The cousin reluctantly responded: "We have always been a family of duty, how could we have the guts to start a grudge against others? Besides, this brick was obtained from Mount Qingcheng..."
"Are you saying that Benguan acts to harm people?" Wu Zhenzi frowned.
"Don't dare, dare not!" The cousin quickly apologized.
Wu Zhenzi said again: "But since I got it from this view, I will go back and investigate and give you an explanation. Right now, it's better to destroy this thing!"
"Brother, are you sure?" the official monk asked.
"Fortunately, this thing may have used some tricks to change the bricks into talismans, and it's normal for mortals to not notice it."
He said it was okay, but he was full of confidence, and immediately asked someone to find an iron pan, poured oil and set it on fire. After a while, the oil pan boiled, and there was a sizzling sound.
He took out another talisman and stuck it on the brick, chanted a mantra, and threw it casually.
boom!
When Brick fell into the oil pan, there were bursts of wailing, like a ghost, and at the same time, puffs of black smoke rose with a foul smell. After frying for a long time, Wu Zhenzi was overjoyed and said: "Okay, the magic power of this thing has been removed."
As he spoke, he pointed his fingers, and the oil pan was turned off, leaving only a charred and blackened brick lying in it.
The officials immediately cleaned up the mess, and the two corpses also cast spells to appease them. Their faces were not bruised, and they appeared peaceful and peaceful.
"Let's bury the second elder first, we will do our best to find the murderer, and we will inform you as soon as we have any news," the monk advised.
"..."
Wu Chao was in a daze, he didn't hear anything, and when he saw that everyone was about to leave, he suddenly felt a surge of hatred towards Qingcheng Mountain. If it weren't for you to release the talisman, how could there be a tragedy? And that Feiyun Guan, and that Taoist, are all from your Qingcheng Mountain!
He is introverted and cowardly by nature, full of hatred but dare not show it, and hangs his head without saying a word.
The official personnel could not persuade him any more, so they left silently. Wu Zhenzi didn't care, he just put away the black brick and took it back as a witness.
…
Qingcheng Mountain, Tianshi Cave.
This temple was built during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a stream on one side. It is very quiet with towering ancient trees. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was restored and expanded again, and the scale was even more magnificent.
According to legend, Zhang Daoling once preached the scriptures here, so the statues of Zhang Daoling and his 30th generation grandson Xujing Tianshi are enshrined in the cave. There is also an ancient ginkgo tree in front of the cave, about 70 meters high and more than 1,800 years old. It is said that it was planted by Zhang Tianshi.
At this moment, the abbot Wu Mingzi is under the tree, talking with Wu Zhenzi about the victory of weariness.
"I just asked Yuanhe Junior Brother, he indeed gave Wu Chao a few days ago a healing talisman, he only told him to hang it on the bedside, not hide it in the wall, so I asked for one. "
Wu Zhenzi took out the yellow talisman and put it on the stone table. Wu Mingzi swept his mind, nodded and said, "Yuanhe is stupid and can only take care of the small temple at the foot of the mountain, but everyone knows his hard work. Although this talisman is not perfect, It also has seven or eight effects, so it should be fine."
"Since it's not Yuanhe, it may be that Wu Chao was unknowingly dropped by someone on the way home and bewitched. He's an ordinary person, so it's not difficult."
"That's right, I don't know who Wu Chao has provoked to make such a murderous move."
The two of them agreed that something happened on the way home, and they didn't consider that it was the intrusion of outsiders. Because in holy places like Maoshan, Wudang, and Qingcheng, Taoist monasteries will set up large formations, and those with bad breath are not allowed to enter, let alone cause trouble inside.
"Brother, shall we continue to investigate?" Wu Zhenzi asked.
"Although it has nothing to do with Yuanhe, it is the talisman of this concept after all..."
Wu Mingzi thought for a while, and said: "Continue to investigate, that Wu Chao is also a poor man, you take this thing that hates victory and destroy it completely, so there is no need for trouble again."
"yes!"
Wu Zhenzi bid farewell to the abbot, left on his own, turned around on the mountain road, and came to a secluded area.
He took out the brick, wrapped it with a whisk, squeezed it with his right hand, hoo!
Immediately, a blue flame erupted from the brick, but the whisk was not damaged at all. After about half an hour, the brick gradually melted, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Wu Zhenzi nodded, wiped his body and left, but he didn't notice that a wisp of black air suddenly gushed out of the void, and disappeared into the ground.
…
From Wu Chao's point of view, it was a big event of family destruction, but from Qingcheng Mountain's point of view, it was nothing more than a small disturbance.
More than ten days later, all the fasting festivals in various places ended, and a wave of prestige was greatly harvested. Qingcheng Mountain is no exception. With various activities that benefit the people, its prestige in Bashu has skyrocketed.
Wu Chao was eagerly waiting for the news every day, and the official and Wu Zhenzi did check, but there was no clue. Not to mention the present, even in the era when there was no extraordinary power in the past, unsuspecting cases piled up every year.
This day and night, quiet room.
Wu Zhenzi read a few Taoist scriptures, sat on the couch as usual, and practiced quietly. Speaking of which, he is also a disciple of the lower court of the Taoist Academy. After he has cultivated to be innate, he faces two choices: either stay or let him go.
He knew that his aptitude was mediocre, and it was useless to stay, so he came to Tianshi Cave and became a high-level mage. Compared with the boring life in the Taoist monastery, this place is very moist and admired, and it didn't take long for it to feel like a fish in water.
In the dead of night, the mountain breeze is gentle.
In the summer of June, the land of Sichuan was already very hot. Wu Zhenzi used the Meditation Jue to cycle through the sky over and over again without being affected, and he responded to the phrase "the mind is calm and cool naturally".
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, a thin cry came into his ears. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sound became more and more intensive.
Wu Zhenzi closed his eyes and opened his eyes. He recognized the direction after listening for a while, and flew to the backyard of the palace. There is a big house standing there, which is a warehouse for storing Lingmi, vegetables, melons and fruits, and meat (Zheng Yi can't help eating meat).
With a very bad premonition, he pushed open the door suddenly, and was immediately startled by the scene in front of him. He felt his spine tremble, and he stood there in a daze.
