Chapter 62 The Tomb Guardian
Ouyang Xuanzi was with me, and we were all standing there. After a while, Ouyang Xuanzi turned around and looked around. It was clear that many things were clear when dawn was dawn, but the atmosphere on the mountain was really wrong. It was actually foggy, and the fog quickly spread toward the top. If it continues like this, there will be no need to wait for the sun to come out. At that time, the sun will be no longer visible here.
Ouyang Xuanzi took my hand and walked forward, and I asked Ouyang Xuanzi: "Are we going up?"
"Since you've all come, of course you have to go up. If you don't go up, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable?" Ouyang Xuanzi said and chuckled. I asked Ouyang Xuanzi what she was laughing at, but he didn't tell me.
Walking up further, I saw a temple located in the mountains shortly after.
The so-called temple is the place where Taoists practice. If it is a temple, it is the place where monks become monks.
After walking up for a while, I reached the stairs. Ouyang Xuanzi took me to the top of the stairs, and arrived at the door of the temple. I raised my hand and knocked on the door of the temple. However, no one came out of the temple for a long time. Later, Ouyang Xuanzi pushed open the door and walked in by himself.
When we entered the door, we saw someone coming out. A young man who was not young and about twenty years old saw us and said, "Who are you? Why did you come into our Taoist temple? You don't know any rules at all. Why did you come in without knocking on the door?"
"We knocked on the door. No one came out, so we came in." As I spoke, I looked at the other person's feet. The other person had a pair of feet, so I felt relieved.
"You knocked on the door, and you should wait for me to open the door for you before coming in. You didn't wait for me to open the door, and you came in. Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable?" The other party's words were concise. I didn't like to talk, so I remained silent. Then I heard him say to us: "What's the matter with you? Are you here to find my master Zhang Tian? If so, I will tell you the rules first. If you think it's appropriate, stay and wait for my master to come back. If you think it's not appropriate, you can leave. The door is there."
The other party raised his hand and pointed at the door. I looked impatient when I looked at the other party. I had any excitement, and I also had a master.
"What's the difference?" Ouyang Xuanzi asked a little unhappy, and the other party looked at it: "Of course it's different. We also have to eat. We have to help the world with our worries, and it's not like this."
"You want to say that we can't come to visit Master Zhang Tian with empty hands?" Ouyang Xuanzi didn't seem to be a fool either, and the other party nodded: "This is the rule. Everyone who comes to ask for advice will not be able to see my master without the 20,000 yuan car fee."
"Then I didn't bring it with me today?" Ouyang Xuanzi said. The other party looked at me and Ouyang Xuanzi in a cold manner and said, "Then please come back."
"What if I don't go back?" It was obvious that Ouyang Xuanzi was a little unhappy, and the other party ignored it and said, "That's your business. The beggar is still saying this to me when it comes. Do I still want him to wait inside?"
"This is really a dog-eyed person. Let's go. There is nothing good about him here. He won't talk like that if a fire burns in the evening. He won't say anything. People's wealth is not given by heaven. He has no virtue. Let's go."
When I was talking, I was already pulling Ouyang Xuanzi away. When the person on the opposite side heard me say this, he walked in front of me a few steps and asked at me: "What did you just say? Believe it or not, I told my master to let your ancestors suffer poverty?"
"You said go, let me see if I am poor." I said as I was about to quarrel with the other party. When I thought of how people could be as knowledgeable as dogs, I turned around and planned to leave, but the other party asked me relentlessly, who were they talking about, so we confronted each other. However, I didn't say anything, and I kept listening to the other party talking to me. As I was talking, Ouyang Xuanzi said, "Since your master is not here, we are leaving, you don't have to say something here anymore. Your mouth will rot sooner or later."
"you……"
Before the other party could come out to stop him, Ouyang Xuanzi pushed the other party away, pushed the other party aside, and fell to the ground. Then he heard that the other party was oh, oh, and I didn't hesitate, and walked outside. When we went out, I asked Ouyang Xuanzi: "How can there be Taoist temples here that are neither high nor low?"
"After the sun was covered, the Taoist temple here came out. Master Zhang Tian would not create a Taoist temple like this. This person should be the tomb guard here."
Tomb guardian?
I have heard of the tomb guard boy. I used to go out to rob the tomb with my master. It was said that the tomb guard boy was a child who specialized in guarding the tomb. Generally, large tombs with different levels will have tomb guard boys of different levels. The higher the specifications, the higher the tomb guard boys in the tomb.
These tomb guards are different. Some are five or six years old, while others are in their teens, but they are rarely seen in their twenties.
"Aren't the tomb guardians all in the tomb chamber? How could they be here? I heard from my master that the tomb guardians lived in the life of eating pearl powder and other things. When they were about to use them, they were actually dead. Then they sealed their seven orifices and locked their souls in their bodies, so that they could not come out of their bodies. They were like living dead people, but they were also controlled. Because they were instilled with the obsession of protecting the tomb and protecting the tomb owner before they died, they only had one obsession, which was to protect the tomb owner and protect the tomb owner here."
"Hong'er was right. Some tomb guardians were not raised like this. Some tomb guardians were people who swore loyalty to death during their lifetime. These people were those who were kept by the tomb owner. When they knew that the tomb owner would die soon, they would automatically ask for their orders to die in front of the tomb owner. After getting them, the tomb owner first burned the talisman paper into ashes and mixed it with mercury for them to drink. Soon they were poisoned by mercury. After they died, they would not let anyone know. Special people put them into a coffin. After raising corpses for 49 days, they became zombies. After the zombies survived, the talisman paper in their bodies would have a strange effect, making them recall the scene before they died. This is a very profound Taoist method. Once they succeeded, they would continue to serve the tomb owner just like when they were alive, and then wait for the tomb to death.
