Chapter 57
The rough meaning of the stake is to sacrifice to a living person. When it comes to stake, one person must be mentioned. This person is Lu Ban, the founder of the carpenter. It is rumored that Lu Ban has a classic book called "Lu Ban Book" and is passed down from generation to generation. This Lu Ban Book is the "Missing One Door" mentioned by Mr. Yin and Yang.
In addition to recording Lu Ban's craftsmanship skills, this book also records a large number of taboo laws, and these taboo law enforcement are almost all related to fortifications. Legend has it that Lu Ban knows the hard work of the lower-level craftsmen and has no power or power. He is afraid that these most laborious people will be bullied, so he left behind these taboo secret techniques to support and protect the lower-level craftsmen. There is a saying among the people that building a house cannot offend craftsmen, otherwise they will use the taboo Lu Ban's technique during the construction process. After building the house, the owner will receive a curse and suffer disaster.
Compared with other metaphysical classics left in ancient times, one is missing can only be considered a partial essay. One is that the secret talismans involved in this book are related to construction, so most of the people who study this book are craftsmen or related professions, and the audience is limited. The second is that most of the craftsmen at the bottom of the class in ancient times and even now are not very high in cultural literacy, and most of the craftsmen in ancient times are not even literate. Therefore, the content in Lu Ban's book is relatively simple and quick, and there is no need to have very profound metaphysical knowledge and cultivation. It only needs to be done accordingly. There is a saying: Lu Ban's method, 48, but although there are many magics, it only requires word-of-mouth between masters and apprentices to pass on word of mouth, and find a secluded and desolate place, which can be quickly completed in 49 days. This is a bit like going to Lanxiang to learn excavators, and you can get a certificate in thirty days. For such a book, most people in Xuanmen think it is "difficult to enter the elegant hall, and it is only for folk bans."
In addition to these two reasons, there is another important reason that Lu Ban's books are partial books. Studying Lu Ban's books is the same as being a Yin-Yang Master. If you are destined to have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, you will even write at the beginning of the book of Lu Ban: Those who read this book will have to lose their children and grandchildren, and those who do not do will have to lose their children and grandchildren. In ancient times, people's sects all emphasized that one of the same clans and one of the same clans is the same clan. If the ancestor has a few sons under his knees, it will have to lose their children and grandchildren. This is equivalent to losing one of the people in the sect. Therefore, missing one of the sects also has this meaning.
This is similar to the Sunflower Book where you must castrate yourself if you want to practice this skill. If you practice the Sunflower Book, you can at least become a top master. If you lack one, you cannot be a meal, so there will naturally be fewer and fewer people who study it. I talked to my grandfather before. My grandfather said that he had stayed at a family house when he was traveling with the old blind man. The owner of that family had an authentic book called "The Missing One". Unlike the handwritten versions in the market, the owner of the family's master's book was passed down from the Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were a famous carpenter during the Ming Dynasty and had participated in the construction of the Ming Dynasty Palace.
At the beginning of the book of the original book, there is no such thing as the person who studies will lose his descendants or grandchildren if he uses it. However, there is also a warning: magic and Taoism, stealing the secrets of heaven, and being evil by heaven, will be hindered by scholars.
Grandpa didn't dare to continue to flip the words after reading this line, which shows the strangeness of "The Missing Door". The emphasis on stakes is said to be from "The Missing Door". Generally, stakes are more common when building bridges. Why do stakes need to be stakes? There are two other statements. One is the saying of God, which means that before building a bridge, you need to find a pair of boys and girls. The boys are buried alive in the first pier at the end of the bridge, and the virgins are buried alive in the last pier at the end of the bridge, forming a pattern of connection between the beginning and the end. In this way, this pair of boys and girls who died in vain became the guardian saint of the bridge.
The corresponding to the gods is naturally the "ghost theory" - the ancients believed that people who were beheaded in half could not swallow their last breath during their lifetime, and they often had deep resentment. In order to avoid evil, two pieces of corpses were usually buried at both ends of the river. On the one hand, the river was used to dispel resentment, and on the other hand, the surging river meant endless resentment. Once the bridge was built on the river, it meant connecting the two corpses, forming evil, and entering evil, just like Wu Yaozu, becoming corpses evil to harm one side. Lu Ban invented the method of killing a stake, burying the living person on this bridge to control evil.
But whether it is the gods or the ghosts, the stakes of life are all sacrifices for living people, and the method is too cruel. In the old society, the people's lives were destroyed like grass. Now in the new society, this method should have been abandoned. It is precisely because of this that I was very surprised when I heard Ma Shenxian say that Monk Jingyuan beat the stakes.
"Do you think that a sympathetic monk would use an extremely and cruel method like a stake?" Ma Shenxian looked at me and asked.
I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to answer.
"It's indeed a harm to the heavenly harmony." Ma Shenxian said, and after saying that, he sighed, "But the situation at that time was really forced. If you don't make a living stake as a sacrifice, you will not be able to calm down the evil spirit of the twin snakes underground. The school cannot be built. Not only did the students not have school to study, but those leaders did not agree. At that time, it was already a great courage for Monk Jingyuan to dare to stand up. He had no other way except to do this. Monk Jingyuan naturally knew that his doing this would definitely hurt the heavenly harmony. His lifelong hard practice would turn into evil consequences. Therefore, Monk Jingyuan entrusted his disciples before the stake to chant scriptures and chant sutras for the deceased in the future to repay the evil he had planted."
"So the fountain in front of our school's comprehensive building was the place where the stakes were slaughtered back then?" I asked.
"That's it." Ma Shenxian said.
"Although I do not agree with Monk Jingyuan's actions, I can understand his actions at that time. Since he had asked his disciples to recite scriptures to save the ups and downs, the wronged souls who were beaten to the stake have also become reborn as the cycle of rebirth. Why are there still evil ghosts hurting people?" I asked in confusion.
"Hey, it's all a sin!" said Ma Shenxian.
Ma Shenxian said that at that time, Monk Jingyuan suggested to the leader that only abortion stake could ensure the completion of the project. Although the leader was shocked, he could only agree with this approach. However, where should the boys and girls be found in the new society? The new society is not as dark as the old days, and it is impossible to buy a pair of boys and girls to bury them alive. Therefore, the problem of boys and girls has become the biggest problem in front of him. The leader said in anger, asking the people below to find the boys and girls who have staked within three days.
Under layers of pressure, the task finally fell on the head of the Liujiazhuang village party secretary near the school. There was a widow in Liujiazhuang. The widow had a pair of twins. The secretary Liu had no choice but to steal the helpless twins of widow. He just made up enough for the boy and girl, buried alive in the ground and made a stake. As compensation, he sent the widow a food coupon and cloth tickets, and then allocated two acres of responsible land as compensation.
"The village party secretary only thought that the widow was an orphan and widow had no support, so he took the child. But no one knew that the biological father of the twins was a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield! The widow was also extremely savage. After knowing that his child had died innocently, she used her life to issue a vicious curse and hit her head on the foundation. Children, you are also a metaphysician. You should know how resentful it would be if a person had no way out and used his life to make a bloody oath!" Ma Shenxian sighed.
After hearing this, I was already trembling and crying.
I also don’t know how resentful the blood oath I made with my life can be!
My mother was also hanging in front of her grave at the desperate situation!
"Okay! Awesome! After the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, they should not use it to beat the stake. The orphan and widowed mother and family of three died overnight! One is like a stake! The other is helpless!" I said, clenching my fists and gritting my teeth.
"After Monk Jingyuan found out, he knew that he had committed a heinous crime and was unforgivable. He cried all night long. When someone went to find him the next morning, he found that he had already transformed. He left a blood-written word to kneel in front of the mother and son, and repay his evil consequences forever. Therefore, the stone tablet in the fountain was sealed with the body of the old monk Jingyuan kneeling. On the one hand, he did kneel in front of the mother and son to atone for his sins. On the other hand, Monk Jingyuan is a monk who was a Taoist. With his golden body, he can suppress the evil spirit of the mother and son." Ma Shenxian said.
I raised my head and prevented the tears from falling. I closed my eyes and wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes and said, "So, the next expansion of the school, I have found someone to see the Feng Shui pattern. I deliberately built all the buildings in a specific direction, so that the fountain of the comprehensive building becomes the school's Feng Shui eye for gathering energy. I want the bright and righteous spirit read from the school's students' reading to offset the resentment of the mother and son's three evil spirits? No wonder the mother and son evil spirits with resentment under the fountain, but I can't feel a trace of yin energy!"
"Yes, the next Feng Shui direction of your school is something I can afford." Ma Shenxian nodded and said.
"This is why the girl was killed innocently seven years ago. You know that it was a ghost and resentment that hurt people but didn't take action, and the school chose to calm down the situation?!" I looked at Ma Shenxian and asked.
"Everything is a sin." Ma Shenxian closed her eyes and said.
"What a bad thing! Maybe you all feel guilty about the mother and son, and you know that they died in vain. But what was wrong with that girl seven years ago? Should she die? Should she pay for the mistakes made by Monk Jingyuan? Was she not raised by her parents in life?" I said.
"My friend, don't be excited. You know the cause and effect. Whether it is Monk Jingyuan or me, there is nothing to do with it." said Ma Shenxian.
"This is all excuse. Since I have practiced Taoism and entered Xuanmen, although I am young, I also know that those who practice Taoism should be the first in the world, dare to be the first in the world, and take the people of the world as their own responsibility. Although the words are empty and cannot be practiced in their own hands, you should know the right and wrong cause and effect in your heart. You are a member of Xuanmen, and your body is above me. Others call you a word called Ma Shenxian. This body of Taoism has also brought you a lifelong fame and fortune. Since you know the cause and effect, you should try to calm down your resentment and avoid disasters, but you are helpless and indifferent. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than that the matter is difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, you will lose your life wisdom. How can you get glory and wealth? Find a little girl to practice in this pure place and prolong your life?!" I sneered.
At this moment, I was really angry.
The martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, the three who died tragically, the senior sister who died for the innocent, Li Xue, who was in trouble at this time, and my mother who was forced to die!
"The child of Huangkou is looking for death! It's not your turn to scold me!" My words finally made Ma Shenxian furious!
