The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 122 My son died unjustly

However, Zong Ze told his wife about the heresy gangsters who used sorcery [the art of making animals] to harm people.

Zong Chen never thought that there are such bizarre things in the world, especially hearing that people are slaughtered and eaten as livestock, which immediately made her a little disgusted, even looking at the steaming mutton stew in the wooden basin Some have lost their appetite.

Of course, the way the Zongze family looked at Ergou also changed, and the disgust was beyond words.

Er Gou smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Zong, do you know the origin of [The Art of Making Animals] that has been passed down in the world?"

Zong Ze frowned and said, "I really don't know the origin of this kind of sorcery, but if you want to say that 'the art is not good or bad, only the heart is lost', then please don't talk about it!"

But Er Gou shook his head and said: "The so-called 'skills are neither good nor bad, only people's hearts are lost' is a lie. The correct statement should be 'good skills are evil, and people's hearts are lost!'." No one can deny the fact that [art] is magic, but the source of [art of animal creation] is not magic, you must know this."

When Zong Ze heard this, he sneered and said, "Oh? Now Zong is all ears."

Er Gou ignored the yin and yang in Zongze's words, but said: "The source of [The Art of Creating Animals] is [Borrowing Animals to Substitute Shapes] among the 36 great arts of Taoism. The good fortune is to prevent the invasion of ghosts and gods. It’s just that some Taoists who were tempted by evil spirits stole the fur of [borrowing animals to replace forms], and then transformed them into [the art of making animals] that harms people.”

Then Ergou recounted the origin of "borrowing animal form", that is, the tragic story of Guankou Yang Erlang's father.

Speaking of which, the story of the Yang family is more touching than what Zongze said about the evildoers who harmed people with sorcery. After all, it involves the love between humans and gods, as well as the twists and turns of life and death. There are plots and plots. Tears, whether these stories are true or false, based on the barren entertainment life of the natives of the Song Dynasty, they are an unrivaled killer weapon.

Of course, this is also indispensable for Ergou's excellent storytelling ability, which is at least much better than Zongze's dry narrative.

Zong Ze is not easy to fool around, but he was still affected a little bit, he just sneered and said: "You don't have to use clever words to coax my family. Ten years ago, I traveled to Sichuan and Sichuan. That Guankou Erlang Don’t I know that he is the second son of Li Bing, a sage of water control in the pre-Qin period, how did he become Yang Erlang?!”

But Ergou sneered, and said: "Mr. Zong, since you have traveled all over the world and know the story of Li Erlang, you should also know the story of Yang Erlang cutting the mountain to save his mother! Don't say that you don't know."

Zong Ze said: "Zong Ze disdains lying and deceiving. I have heard the legend of Yang Erlang cutting the mountain to save his mother, but I have never heard of it like you say."

Ergou smiled and said: "Those legends are told to the people of the world, and they are always true and false. What I am talking about are ancient Taoist secrets, and they will not be the same as what the public hears. Just like you What you have experienced today, you will soon know how different the facts are from the rumors."

Zong Ze was a little speechless, so he could only point to Lai Fu and said, "As you said, you big dog didn't come here to harm someone?"

Ergou said: "Of course! This child is a poor man. When I saw him, he was being attacked by evil spirits. In desperation, I had no choice but to save him with the method of [borrowing animal form]."

Then he made Laifu appear human and told him his origins, but concealed Laifu's original name.

It's okay for others to hear it, but Zong Chen was a little agitated and asked in a trembling voice: "Wait! Brother Chen, you said that Laifu was given a name because someone else gave him a name. Invaded by evil things, but is it true?"

Ergou nodded and said, "Exactly."

Wearing only Ergou's robe, Laifu was munching on the chicken and nodded repeatedly, saying: "There was a bad woman who deceived my parents and gave me a name, and then I..."

At this point, he suddenly rolled on the ground, turned into a dog again, and continued: "It's so dangerous! A terrible monster is coming to eat me! Fortunately, my master saved me and I was safe."

Mrs. Zong Chen asked with some trembling: "What about naming... and giving the word... are there any taboos?"

Er Gou sighed and said: "There are indeed some unknown secrets. Mr. Zong and Mrs. Zong should know that the names of people in ancient times are separated. The official name can only be given when the man has grown up, and then he has been successful in studying. Given the words given by the elders, the two are one in front and one in the back, which is the truth. It’s just the reason, but ordinary people can’t hear it.”

Zong Chen said resolutely: "No! I have to listen!"

Ergou opened his celestial eyes, looked at Zong Chen's nature, then looked at Zong Ze squarely, and said, "Okay! Madam listened, but your children couldn't hear it. It's not beneficial for him to wait for the children to know about such secrets. I don't want to hurt your family."

Zong Chen immediately said to the old servant: "Uncle, please take Ying'er and Xin'er out!"

The two children were a little bit reluctant. They never had enough to eat, but they also wanted the dog to change.

Ergou said to Zongze and his wife: "Mr. Zong, Mrs. Zong, let me talk in another place. Let the old man and the child eat here first."

He said to Gou Laifu again: "Laifu, take care of them and don't let evil spirits approach them!"

At that moment, the three of them went out of the room where they could eat, but went to the bedroom of De Zongze and his wife. Er Goucai said: "Earlier, Mr. Zong did some research on my origin. , Zai Zhi, down to the people of Li, they were all kept in the dark, ignorant.

This world is very dangerous. The source of danger is not only the neighboring countries around the Song Dynasty, but also the shadow behind us. Deep in people's hearts and dreams, there are terrible evil spirits, peeping at people's hearts and souls all the time.

It's just that there is an invisible portal between humans and demons. When a person is named, this portal will appear in the person's mind and dreams. If the person is underage and the soul is too weak, The portal will be slightly fragile, and powerful demons will have a chance to break through the portal.

However, a person being given the word represents another meaning. It is equivalent to declaring that the person is ready to fight against the evil spirits. The invisible portal will automatically disappear, and the people's mind and dreams will lose their innate protection. You can only rely on acquired cultivation and will to fight against evil spirits. "

Having said that, Ergou looked at Zongze and said, "Mr. Zong once asked me who I am, and I can tell you that I am a demon suppressor! Since the birth of human beings in ancient times, demon suppressors have been committed to protecting human beings." , To fight against evil spirits, we have been passed down from generation to generation, and we have never slackened the slightest bit!"

Zongze was shocked and confused, but asked: "You claim to be a demon suppressor, but why haven't you known about it?"

Er Gou sighed: "Evil demons are as vicious as tigers and wolves. Most people in the world are worse than pigs and sheep when facing them. At least pigs and sheep can resist a little bit. Only a few elites among humans have the ability to fight against demons. Finally The key point is that the invasion of evil spirits is impossible to guard against. There is a saying in Buddhism, I see the Buddha, and the Buddha also sees me! This is actually talking about evil spirits. When a person knows the existence of evil spirits, the evil spirits also know the existence of this person .”

Zong Ze murmured: "I hear the demons, and the demons also hear me...?"

At this time, Zong Chen's family suddenly heard a mournful cry, and wept loudly: "My Fang'er! You died so unjustly!"

Zong Ze's expression was shocked when he heard it, he suddenly remembered that his eldest son Zong Fang was given a letter in advance when he was 15 years old, and he couldn't afford it due to illness soon after, and finally died young, could this be the reason?

There was sadness in his eyes, and he looked at Ergou angrily, but said: "You said there are too many loopholes in what you said, but I don't believe it!"

Er Gou said: "Reading can clarify one's ambitions, and fame can protect oneself. A person who has succeeded in studying can keep all evils from invading, and with the protection of fame and official status, it can protect the family around him even if he takes a decent name." Infringed. Just like your two children, although they have proper names, as long as they can stay with Mr. Zong, they will not be harmed by evil spirits.

If you call it a common people's house, you just pick a decent name, but you have to suffer from evil spirits, this is my own experience.Therefore, ordinary people often give their children humble names, which can avoid evil spirits, so they are easy to support. "

Zong Chen suddenly pointed his halberd at Zong Ze and said: "At that time, Fang'er was ill and in a daze. You had to go build the embankment of the river, and you just abandoned him! But you let my child die unjustly! Wuwuwu——"
