Chapter 12 Telling Secrets: Looking for the Stone Chamber
The Taoist thinks that he is really a good guy and has no idea about Yangshou.
He originally wanted to scare Zhong Sheng, but the other party agreed immediately, like a hammer hitting a cotton bag, unable to use his strength.
"Yang life is limited, and yin blessings are endless. If yang life is not enough, use yin virtue to fill it."
"Fortune can also be divided into yin and yang. If there is no virtue in the human world, disaster will occur after death; if there is no virtue in the underworld, future generations will suffer disaster."
"Do you know what yin virtue is? After your death, you will be underground and enjoy the incense and offerings of descendants. If your yin virtue is shallow, you will not only have to endure suffering, but you will also be unable to protect your descendants, and you will have no descendants."
"Have you thought clearly about such serious consequences?"
"Is there any need to think about it?"
Zhong Sheng thought to himself that his second uncle was a hero among ghosts and would be conferred as a god or saint in the future and would have a high status.
It is true that I am a second-generation official, but it is a pity that I am from the underworld. If I were in the human world, I would not get any light.
In his opinion, there is no difference between yang longevity and yin longevity, whether lacking virtue or not.
"Master, just tell me how I can help my second uncle get out of trouble."
Seeing that he was determined and unwavering, the Taoist sighed that the Zhong family was full of talents.
"Listen carefully, Zhong Kui hit a pillar and died, and the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, ordered a grand burial."
"However, the villain is causing trouble, the evil monk advises, and the red cloth is used to download the corpse, which ruins his moral character."
The big red cloth is so festive. What’s the problem?
Zhong Sheng didn't know why and asked the Taoist.
"Do you know that humans and ghosts have different paths, and things in the world of the world and the underworld are reversed."
"The same goes for red and white things. People like red, ghosts like white."
"On festive occasions, people are dressed in red and colorful. This is the kind of excitement that only exists in the human world. But in the underworld, it is better to be plain and white."
"When a person wears white clothes, it is an ominous sign; when a ghost wears red clothes, it is a sign of great misfortune." The Taoist stopped and asked him.
"What do you think the red dress looks like?"
Zhong Sheng shook his head, not understanding.
"Afterbirth, the baby is raised in the mother's womb and is completely wrapped in a layer of afterbirth, dripping with blood and as red as clothing."
"The afterbirth is a reincarnated layer of flesh membrane, which can only be reborn after it is broken out."
"But if the ghost of the newly dead is buried wrapped in red clothes, he has no way to be reincarnated. He is trapped in the body, accompanied by decay and decay. He suffers all the time and will never be freed."
Snap!
Zhong Sheng was so angry that he trampled the stones under his feet on the spot, "Who are the little demon monks? I will tear them to pieces."
Such vicious methods have harmed his second uncle, and Zhong Sheng has no sworn relationship with them.
He gritted his teeth and flew to Chang'an immediately to cut the opponent into pieces.
"Don't be impatient. If you want to kill someone, rescue your second uncle first."
Zhong Sheng is very anxious. It involves the future of his second generation official. Can he not be anxious?
He originally thought that there was someone underground who would run rampant in the future and hit whoever he wanted. Uncle Clinker was stuck at the beginning and would never become the King of Ghosts.
The Taoist said softly, "If it hadn't been for these words of criticism back then, I would never have cared about other people's business."
"That's all, it's fate. You broke into the mountain and blocked my practice. Everything is destined."
"Listen to me, without further delay, you must rush to Chang'an immediately."
Zhong Sheng lifted up his sleeves and said, "I'm going to snatch the horses."
Although Zhongnan Mountain is not too far from Chang'an, it can't be reached in a short time. You have to ride a horse.
The Taoist stopped him and said, "Why are you so anxious? I have a method that is faster than any other horse in the world."
"Have you ever heard of the soul leaving the body?"
Zhong Sheng nodded, and then his eyes widened. He was playing such a high-end game, but I don’t know how!
"The soul can leave the body and travel thousands of miles. It requires an expert to do it. Of course you can't do it."
Zhong Sheng nodded repeatedly, "Does the master want to go there personally?"
How strange?
The Taoist shook his head and said, "Zhong Dao has this fate in his destiny. I can't interfere. You must go."
"I just said that fifty years of life will be lost, and it falls here."
"I can forcibly catalyze your upper, middle and lower dantian to reverse the situation and give you the opportunity to leave your body overnight."
"If you don't practice cultivation, after one night, you will definitely spend most of your life and turn from a high-spirited young man into a dying old man."
"Boy Zhong, now that you know the truth, are you still willing?"
Zhong Sheng noticed that the ape grabbed his wrist, stared at him with big eyes and shook his head.
You advise me not to go?
Grandma and sister-in-law are still at Du Ping's house, waiting for news about the return of their second uncle.
He burned down his house on the spot and swore to protect the Zhong family. How could he break his promise?
Zhong Sheng breathed out softly, "Master, tell me what to do?"
The Taoist pointed in a certain direction and said, "When you enter the deep mountains from now on, don't take detours when you encounter valleys and streams, just go straight forward."
"After passing three piles of stone towers, there are two big dead trees with tangled branches and arches like gates."
"After passing through the dead tree, there is a stone room. Over there is the quiet room where your spirit comes out of the body."
Zhong Shengxin wants to go to such trouble?
"The soul is out of the body, the body is weak, and it is extremely vulnerable to external evil, so you must find a safe place."
"That stone chamber is a spiritual cave in Zhongnan Mountain. It was once the cave of ancient Qi refiners."
"Now, it is occupied by two ghosts. If you want to use the stone chamber, you must kill the two ghosts first."
Zhong Sheng said nothing, raised his sword and stood up, "Master, please wait first."
After he took a few steps, he heard the ape chirping and jumped to catch up.
"Good friend, let's go together and help you."
The Taoist behind him said leisurely, "Remember, the two ghosts are rampant and strange. They will use all kinds of illusions to confuse you. Be careful not to kill them, and you will die in the stone room."
Zhong Sheng marched all the way, and if, as the Taoist said, there were valleys, streams, and many jagged piles of rocks along the way, he did not go around, but flew straight across them.
Taking monkey wine and practicing martial arts made him not only powerful but also as light as a swallow.
"The pile of stones is like a tower, and the characters are distributed. Yes, this is it."
There were three stone piles in front of Zhong Sheng. There were no dangers along the way, but he finally arrived successfully.
Looking not far away from the pile of rocks, we can see two big dead trees leaning toward the center, their lush branches intertwined into a dome like big hands clasping together.
Just as the Taoist described it, the guard is like a gate, as if it has existed since ancient times to welcome the uninvited guest like Zhong Sheng.
"Where is the stone chamber?"
Zhong Sheng looked around and saw that dead and dead leaves accumulated year after year, turning into sludge and sewage, covering the original appearance of the earth's surface.
Dead trees, old vines, and climbing rocks grow wildly, with no visibility.
"Zhiguzhi."
Zhong Sheng was worried about where to start, and the ape beside him pulled him excitedly and pointed in a certain direction.
In a corner where dead vines are entangled, the vines are intertwined with each other, growing and merging without distinguishing each other, growing into a majestic vine mountain.
Could it be that the stone chamber grows inside this vine?
Zhong Sheng stepped forward and used an ancient sword to cut the vines. The century-old vines were as tough as steel, but they still broke under the sharp sword.
Half a day later, the stone chamber was finally exposed to Zhong Sheng.
Zhong Sheng looked at the stone chamber, and his eyes were in a trance. He seemed to see two boys, one black and one white, sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, meditating with their eyes closed, looking solemn.
The 'two ghosts' the Taoist calls him actually look like a boy.
