Chapter 75: The Story of the Secret Realm
The two old men drank the boiled water happily and forgot about scolding us two.
Shi Qi sat next to the veteran thief: "Grandpa Yuan, I don't understand what happened in Yangjiacun. Can you explain it to me?"
The veteran thief put down the water glass: "Let Gouzi talk first, and I will talk about what he doesn't understand."
OK!
The principles of the veteran thief have not been lost, otherwise, I would despise him to death.
While biting the steamed bun, I said, "We have to talk about the matters in Yangjiacun one by one."
"Let's talk about the Yang family tree first. The three people who were removed from the family tree should be warlocks, and their status is not low."
From the Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for officials and officials to be removed from the family tree.
In ancient times, punishments could implicate the nine clans, and officialdom battles were extremely dangerous. The clan leader went to the government to sign and sign and remove the clan members from the family tree, which was also a precautionary measure.
However, the method of removing the family tree also depends on the identity of the person involved. Those who are officials, especially those who are high officials, will create a new family tree. Those who are officials will be removed directly.
However, being expelled does not prevent them from living with their families and communicating with relatives. If everything goes well in this life, they will naturally be added back in the future.
This is what happened to Song Jiang in "Water Margin"!
In ancient times, there was another type of person who was removed from the family tree, and that was the sorcerer.
It is not uncommon for wealthy families to believe in Buddhism and practice Taoism, but there are very few people who become sorcerers. Once someone really becomes a sorcerer, the clan leader will remove him from the family tree in the name of "monastic practice".
The reason is the same as for officials. The status of sorcerers in ancient times was more embarrassing. Once they were accused of deceiving the public with evil words, it was better.
It will implicate the nine tribes.
The reason why most warlocks were alone had something to do with the system at that time.
I continued: "If, according to the teachings of magic, a warlock cannot fulfill his filial piety and righteousness after leaving home in this life, he must return to his family in the next life to repay the kindness of upbringing. Those three warlocks will most likely be reincarnated and return to Yangjia Village."
"At that time, the person who raised the red light was looking for three warlocks."
"I suspect that among the sorcerers who went up the mountain behind their backs, there were members of the Yang family."
The veteran thief stroked his beard and said: "Well, that's not bad! Then let me ask you, why do the people who want to bring villagers back to the village pretend to be warlocks?"
"In order to stimulate the memory of the reincarnated person's previous life." I responded: "Legend has it that people will drink Mengpo soup before reincarnation, erasing everything in the previous life and allowing them to live a new life."
"However, the memory of past lives is not irrecoverable, especially for those who were warlocks in their previous lives, the memory is easier to activate. Perhaps those people did not want to take away everyone in Yangjia Village at the beginning, but just wanted to target specific people.
On several people."
"As a result, they found no trace of the warlock. That's when they massacred Yangjia Village."
The veteran thief nodded: "Yeah, not bad!"
"What's the second thing you want to say?"
I said: "The second thing I said is, what is the place behind that door?"
"After my rotary knife broke into that gate, it flew to nowhere?"
"That place shouldn't be the underworld. If it's a space created within the Yin-Yang barrier, I don't think it's like it. I have to figure out where those who hold the door are going, or what they're trying to draw out, in order to
Let’s go to the next step to verify it?”
"Yeah!" The veteran thief nodded and said, "You don't understand this, but I can't blame you. Because more than 70% of the warlocks have never been exposed to this kind of secret space."
The veteran thief said: "The underworld is far bigger than you think. In addition to the hell controlled by the underworld, there are many small areas abandoned by the underworld."
"The yin-yang barrier in these places is relatively weak, and strangers can also enter and exit. These independent spaces are often occupied by powerful ghosts and gods and become their own territory. In the art of magic, these places are called: mysterious ghost realms."
"There are mysterious ghost realms! There are big ones and small ones. The big ones are comparable to a country, while the small ones are about the same as a large shopping mall. The scene inside depends on the preferences of the ghosts and gods occupying the space."
I asked back: "Compared to a country? Is there really such a big space for ghosts and gods?"
The veteran thief became more enthusiastic again: "I told you to read more books but you didn't listen. If you asked me this in front of outsiders, I would blush. Let me ask you how big is the underworld?"
"You don't know, do you?"
"Then let me ask you: How big is hell?"
"You still don't know, do you?"
"I'm telling you, remember it."
"Let's take the Buddhist "Hell Class" as an example. There are eight major hells recorded there, and each hell has sixteen smaller hells. These hells are not like buildings, stacked one on top of the other.
The heights are staggered into different spaces.”
"The eighteen levels of hell taught by Buddhism are not calculated based on the upper and lower space, but the number of levels based on the time of torture. In the first hell, 3750 years in the human world are one day, 30 days are one month, and 12 months are one
Years, ghosts who go to hell need to serve 10,000 years in the first prison. That is 13.5 billion years in the human world. For each level of hell, the torture time will quadruple."
"If we calculate it this way, if the ghosts go to hell, they can only go in and out. After thousands of years, how many ghosts will be in there? Is the place small enough?"
"The Taoist description of hell is probably similar."
"Hell is just a part of the underworld, it does not represent the entire underworld. Think about how big the underworld is? So! Let me tell you, there is too much space that the underworld cannot control."
"As long as those ghosts and gods don't rebel, hell won't bother to care about them."
When the veteran thief said this, he couldn't help but curse: "Where did you learn all that Kung Fu? Yin Yang Tan Ma?"
"Does that mean you're going to explore the underworld? What's there to explore in the underworld? Just find a psychic and you can find out about the underworld. Why are you risking your life to find out?"
"Yin Yang Detective Horse actually probes the space of ghosts and gods."
I couldn't help but be slightly startled: "Is there another way to say this?"
There is no such expression in the "Tan Ma Jue" I studied! Otherwise, I wouldn't be confused by a gate.
Shopkeeper Xu was also shocked and said: "Now there is still Yin Yang Detective Horse? Isn't this sect a long time ago? Could it be that the third master is also..."
"I'm not... I'm not..." The veteran thief waved his hands and said, "My grandson has another inheritance!"
The way shopkeeper Xu looked at me, he immediately became excited: "The third master is indeed worthy of his reputation! This yin-yang detective horse can spy on the world and assassinate ghosts and gods. The third master is very powerful!"
"Thank you, thank you..." I said politely, but in my heart I was complaining like crazy: My reputation is well-deserved! That was all created by the veteran thieves.
Now I finally understand why wherever Song Jiang goes to report his number, someone will bow to him and call him brother. It’s all about bragging by spending money! He gives small favors to others, and those people brag on his behalf.
Chapter completed!
