Chapter 823 Grand Master
Chapter 823 Grandmaster
The shouting of Lao Bai and the others outside disappeared at some point.
The mountain breeze beat against the papered windows, making a rustling sound. It was not noisy at all, but made the main hall feel even colder. Against the dim candlelight on the altar, the face of Taoist Sanqing looked a little enigmatic.
I don't like this kind of environment. When I renovated the Zhenwu Temple last time, I wanted to replace the windows with glass ones. Unfortunately, Brother Yaozi and the others didn't agree. After removing the old doors and windows, they stubbornly stuck window paper on the new ones.
Planting things will always make the hall dim and gloomy, especially at night, giving people a sense of desolation and desolation, making people kneel here and see nothing but their own inner world.
The same is true at this moment.
I can clearly hear my heartbeat that is accelerating, getting stronger and stronger, so that it gradually exceeds the load of my body. I feel that my throat is dry and hoarse, my head is a little dizzy, and I may faint at any time!
Snap!
Luo Chenzi's hand lightly hit me on the shoulder, and I immediately woke up.
"You are too ambitious..."
His eyes were bright and he looked at me gently. He was probably the kind of person he was talking about. Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. He paused and then said with a smile: "You, the official lineage, have this kind of mentality."
If you are serious, you are contentious and aggressive, so you have reached a dead end. The whole world cannot tolerate it. Since you have joined our Taoist school, it is also your destiny and opportunity. It will be good for you to learn more about the way of inaction.
, Never miss the time God gives you. Never take it by force before the time comes. Remember these sixteen words, it will be good for you. I have gone through a long life, and these sixteen words are all I have gained.
, only by remembering it truly can a person live a long life.”
I could hear the meaning behind his words, but at this moment, I only had four words left in my mind: "Tianguanjuque", so how could I think about these things?
"The Book of Ten Thousand Burials" has always been in my hand, but I still can't read the two sacrificial texts on Tianguan Juque and Xuanhuang Nine Burials at the back. It can be said that I have made no progress at all. My dad said that the last two chapters are the only one that I can read.
It's a real skill, but I don't know it at all. How can I not be impatient?
Swallowing hard, I tilted my head and looked at Xing Guili carefully, as if I knew him for the first time. I pondered for a moment and asked: "This thing... knows the memorial inscriptions of Tianguan Juque?"
Xing Guili shook his head like a rattle. He was probably frightened by my gaze. He quickly shrank his neck and hid under the altar table and refused to come out. How could he still look like he was harassing me all night long?
I felt disappointed, and then looked at Luo Chenzi with some hope: "Grandmaster, you..."
"I don't understand either. The sacrificial text is unique to you ritual officers. It is very mysterious. Even you ritual officers have lost the inheritance. How can I, a Taoist priest who has become a lonely ghost long ago, understand it?"
Luo Chenzi laughed and said: "Besides, in my era, the Heavenly Officials have been eliminated."
Yes, if this patriarch really lived in the late Ming Dynasty as the legend says, there would still be more than a thousand years before the last Heavenly Official. By then, the Heavenly Official had long since disappeared, and the Ceremonial Officials had almost become a thing of the past. How could it be possible?
Do you understand the ritual text?
I secretly sighed that I was thinking about Tianguan Juque and I was so distracted that I went crazy.
Luo Chenzi noticed the disappointment on my face and asked leisurely: "Have you ever been to the Demon Tomb of the Last Heavenly Official? How do you think that Demon Tomb compares with the Tomb of the First Emperor?"
"How does it compare to..."
I said absently: "The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is adjacent to the Li Mountain in the south and the Weishui River in the north. Together, the several burial pits cover an area of about fifty or sixty square kilometers, which is equivalent to seventy or eighty square kilometers using current calculation methods.
The Forbidden City is so big. In terms of area, the Tomb of Monsters is not even comparable to the First Emperor's Mausoleum. However, if compared with the main underground palace of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, the area should not be much different, but it is a stacked tomb building.
The burial pattern is much deeper than the Tomb of the First Emperor!"
"As long as you have an idea."
Luo Chenzi nodded and said: "It's just that the Mausoleum of the First Emperor was built with 700,000 prisoners and it took forty years to complete, but what about the tomb of the last Heavenly Official? He
If he is not the First Emperor, where can he find hundreds of thousands of prisoners and spend decades in cultivation? Have you ever thought about this question? Moreover, the Demon Burial Tomb is for burying things that cause trouble in the world. Those things are great evils, but they will not stand.
Waiting for you to be buried alive there, that is to say, the Demon Burial Tomb was almost completed at an extremely fast speed, but how on earth was it completed for such a large Demon Burial Tomb?"
I'm not a fool, of course I have thought about these questions.
I even asked Ma Yao, but the confused ghost couldn't explain clearly. She only said that the top of her head was covered with darkness, like black clouds. For a while, she and the Yin slaves were in chaos. When they came back to their senses,
Come, she has been suppressed to the bottom. In a rage, she rushed up and met the last heavenly official who was dying. After the two talked, I don’t know what the last heavenly official promised to her. It must be related to me. Then
She honestly returned to her place and buried the monster in her own grave.
All in all, she didn't see the entire tomb construction process, she only knew that... it was very fast, incredibly fast!
I rubbed my nose and asked in confusion: "Could it be that...this matter has something to do with Xing Guili?"
Luo Chenzi smiled and said: "Exactly, it is said that the secret of Tianguan's tomb building lies in Tianguan's giant tower, and the key to Tianguan's giant tower is Xingguili! In the era I lived in, there were still
There are some documents related to this, and I have seen that the heavenly officials during the Qin and Han Dynasties must have torture ghosts and slaves around them!"
"In addition to eating honey, this thing can also build tombs?"
I still found it unbelievable. The more I looked at the strip of sand under the altar table, the more absurd it became. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I ignored the etiquette that the Fourteenth Patriarch reminded me and acted wildly in front of the Patriarch.
He grabbed the loose flesh on the chin of the prisoner and dragged him out from under the altar table. The man was so tearful that his eyes almost bulged, and he was still dodging backwards.
"So, that's why you refuse to leave?"
I asked: "Come on, tell me, how did you Xinggui Li help Tianguan build the tomb?"
"I, I, I...I don't know either!!"
Xinggui Ligou's face was full of grievances, and he said weakly: "I definitely can't do it. Isn't this... a question that needs your guidance? Can you blame me if you can't understand the Tianguan Juque chapter?
?”
This... seems to make sense!
But, why do I always feel like something is not right?
After thinking about it for a moment, my face turned gloomy and I said, "Really, I don't know? I don't know how to help Tianguan build a tomb, and I don't understand the Tianguan Giant Que Sutra. How could you stay so determined?"
"Um...can you put me down first? It doesn't look decent at all for you to pull my double chin like this. Let's talk in a more respectable way, okay?"
"..."
I glanced at his chin, which was layered like a layer cake, and wondered if you had some misunderstanding about double chins. But I let go.
Xing Guili shook his face and said seriously: "Yes, I really don't know any of the things you said, but I know that there are Xing Guili in the underworld who have followed Tian Guan.
Guan... seems to be able to make Xing Guili undergo some transformations. I don't know exactly what changes they are, but it doesn't look like this... funny!
If you want to say how I know, it should be a long, long time ago. I haven't run up here yet. I also don't know how many years you have in the world. How can I put it? I was still very young at the time. I was in vain. There was trouble in the city.
, it is said that an extremely vicious guy has started to cause trouble, and the ghost spirit is so high that the officials can't hold it even with the big soul-locking shackles, so they invited me to suppress that thing...
But, that thing was so powerful that it could avoid me accurately without giving me a chance.
Later, a wind blew up in Wusi City. After the wind passed, the ghost's ghost energy was completely sucked out of him, and he lay half-dead on the ground.
An old official said that the wind in Wusi City was brought by another Xinggui Li. That Xinggui Li was taken away by a Heavenly Official a long time ago. After the Heavenly Official died, he returned to the Yin Division and rarely appeared. If
It's not that I can't control that evil spirit, and I won't invite him.
To this day, I still clearly remember what the old official said. He said, if I had not failed to meet the Heavenly Official, that would be it. I would always be a dog who loves honey and cannot get on the stage..."
The City of Wasted Death is the sixth hall of the Ten Halls of the Underworld, also known as the Great Calling Hell. Those who are disobedient and unfilial will basically be punished here.
If that's the case...it really makes sense!
Seeing me thinking, Luo Chenzi said: "Once you, the ceremonial officials, become heavenly officials, you will definitely go down there, like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. The dangers are unpredictable. Just to find this torture ghost official. I once
I heard that many Heavenly Officials never came back because of this. These things may not have been carefully recorded in your family's handwritten notes. After all... your family education is extremely incomplete, especially when it comes to Heavenly Officials.
But in fact, more or less, there are still many clues left.
Daoxuan once told me that a black and white Yin Yang stone was dug up in your home. This should be brought back from the underworld by some of your seniors, and it is also proof!
I don't want to interfere too much with your growth, and I can't interfere!
A descendant of the Ceremony Officer has entered the Taoist sect. You are the first one in thousands of years. There is no precedent. I don’t know how to guide you. Think about it carefully. In fact, Tao Xuan is better than me at teaching apprentices. He only gives you a general direction.
The rest is for you to figure out, this is right, and you have done a good job. You have been thinking about how to combine Taoist skills with your ritual officer skills. If it were me, I might not be able to do it as well, so I have been thinking about it.
Until now, I have only paid attention to your growth without interfering.
Now that you have met this Xing Guili, I see that Daoxuan and you don't know the meaning of this thing, so if you want to send it back to the underworld, you almost miss the big event, so you have to show up."
It was rare for him to say so much. I quickly stood up and saluted. Without his guidance, this punishment ghost slave would definitely be sent away by me and my master. There was nothing we could do. It was so unlucky that a living person would be infected with this thing. It is worse than the god of plague.
The relationship is serious. Even if I am not afraid of it coming back to bite me, I am worried that if I stay with it for a long time, one day when I go out, a fully loaded front-wheel drive vehicle with a front-wheel drive and a rear-wheel drive vehicle with an eight-wheel drive will speed past my head. Practitioners are also made of flesh and blood, but
Can't help it!
If this is really sent away, what if one day I can really marry the Seven Pearls... Doesn't it mean that I have to imitate my ancestors and go to the underworld? Not to mention the chance of falling into trouble, the key point is extremely rare, I will think about it after I go down.
It’s hard to find one!
"However, this thing is only harmful to you now, not good. With it, I'm afraid you won't live to become a heavenly official."
Luo Chenzi said with a smile: "Let him accompany us dead people in this hall for now. It can be regarded as a palace beast!"
It couldn't be better!
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was really worried about carrying this stupid, shameless dog with me wherever I went!
"Okay, you go back and rest. With this thing here, you shouldn't stay in this hall for too long!"
Luo Chenzi waved his hand, and when I stood up to leave, he suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about this anymore. I will tell Daoxuan. At this time tomorrow, you come here again. I have some skills here that I can teach you."
You one or two."
