My years as a fortune teller

When Taoism was founded by Zhang Daoling, some witchcraft that recruited ghosts from the upper body were removed from Taoism.Later, when Master Ge Hong rectified Taoism, he excluded some similar sects and Taoism.That's why Ge Zhenren said in his book that there are many Taoist sects, most of them are people who drink blood and so on.

During the Tang and Yuan dynasties, sects such as the Sanhuang Sect that recruited ghosts were once banned, and scriptures were burned.Therefore, under the resistance of the government at that time, and the rectification of Taoist religious affairs, the Sanhuang sect lost its inheritance.

The rulers at that time allowed praying to the gods and praying for blessings, Tianshi Dao and Maoshan Dao for self-cultivation, and did not allow the Three Emperors School of recruiting ghosts.So Taoism such as raising little ghosts appeared in Maoshan, and it was quickly banned in the faction.

Old Zhao said as he walked, "Religious magic has been a double-edged sword since ancient times. It has its good side and its bad side. It is similar to the Three Emperors School. It would be good if all the magic spells were used to save people." Yes. But the human body’s own yin and yang are not balanced, if the upper body of a ghost or a practicing animal is upper body, the unbalanced yin and yang will continue to be destroyed. Therefore, it is reasonable for colleagues in the Taoist school to regard Chumaxian as an evil sect."

I nodded, and was about to continue discussing when I heard a "creak".Following the sound, Old Zhao pushed open the gate of the Palace of the Three Emperors.Without even looking, he walked in.

I was about to go in when someone pulled my arm.When I looked back, it was Guo Yulin who was pulling my arm and not wanting me to go in.He nervously looked inside, then looked around and kept waving his hands.

I smiled, blocked his hand and said, "If you are afraid, stand over there under the sun with Cui Erye and wait for us. We will go in and burn incense sticks and come out." Then I turned around and raised my legs to go in up.

In the entire hall, there is not a single guarding Taoist priest.A thick layer of dust covered the incense table and the Three Emperors Immortals.But the candles on the altar had already burned out, and there was no oil in the oil lamp.There is only a handful of incense on the table.

Seeing this, I turned around and went out, and said to Guo Yulin, "Please go around and buy me some vegetable oil or linseed oil. Then buy some candles and ingots. By the way, if there is no vegetable oil or linseed oil, you can buy some salad oil. "To be honest, I took out 300 yuan from my body.Guo Yulin didn't say anything, turned around and left.

I also ignored Cui Erye and came to the main hall again.Old Zhao found a broom with a bald head from nowhere.Start to clean the dust on the table and the spiders in the corners.

Hearing me coming, he immediately raised his head to greet me.Pointing to a piece of blurred text on the wall, he said to me: "Boy, look here, do you feel a little weird?"

I struggled to read for a long time before I could see clearly what was written on it: "Emperor Yunlong, Taoism is rising, Zhang Lie is upright, beautiful in Taiqing... Six Ding and Nine Qi, the secret is true..." Although many words are vague It is not clear, and it is in traditional characters.So I can only see this sentence clearly.

But just these few words still made me break out in a cold sweat.I whispered to Old Zhao, "Why is this the Three Emperors Curse written here?"

Old Zhao nodded and said, "That's right, this sentence is exactly the same as what was recorded in "Orthodox Daozang". You are looking here!" He pointed at this incomplete picture.

I leaned on the wall and looked at it for a long time, and I could see it clearly.I was even more surprised by this picture. I opened my eyes wide and said to Old Zhao: "This is a picture of the upper body of a ghost! Who drew it here?" Just as I was talking, there was a sound of footsteps.

Old Zhao Tou and I separated immediately and walked back and forth to the door to have a look.It turned out that Guo Yulin came with a barrel of oil and a plastic bag.

I hurried over to take the oil barrel and plastic bag from him, and Guo Yulin immediately hid aside in fright.I smiled and came to the altar with oil and a plastic bag.

Old Zhao also put down his broom, came over and poured vegetable oil into the small oil bowl with me.There is also a lamp twister inside, so we light the oil lamp according to the trend.Then the candle was lit again.

Guo Yulin's errands made me happy, and he even bought some fruits and steamed buns.I also placed them on the altar in turn.Old Zhaotou and I knelt on the ground and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and then melted the ingots on the spot.

When everything was burnt out, I stood up and turned around, and suddenly found a person standing behind me.This person came without a sound, and he came out of nowhere and stood behind me, which startled me.

I looked it up and down: over 50.He is not tall, about 1.6 meters seven.A typical pork loin face with a pair of inverted triangle eyes.Although the eyes are small, they are full of light.The eyebrows are thin and short.The bridge of the nose is sunken, and the tip of the nose is huge and fleshless.There is a notch on the lip.Just a few whiskers under the chin.There is almost no hair on the head, and a pair of big protruding ears look very unsuitable for me.

I was staring in a daze when I heard the old Zhao head say: "Hi master, my nephew and I are here to visit relatives. We saw a temple here, so we came here without saying hello. I'm really sorry!" bow.

It was only then that I realized that this person was wearing Taoist robes.Immediately, he bowed and apologized like the old scholar Zhao, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The Taoist grinned, and said vaguely: "It's okay, you come to burn incense for the Third Emperor. It is also your filial piety, and the Third Emperor will protect you." (For convenience, the northern Shaanxi dialect in the book is expressed in Mandarin)

When the old Zhao heard this, he put his palms together and said, "Thank you!" I also hurriedly followed his example.Old Zhao touched me with his arm, and gestured to me with his eyes.It took me a long time to understand, and I quickly took out a few hundred yuan and handed it to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist bared his yellow teeth and accepted the money with a smile.Old Zhaotou and I clasped our hands together, and slowly exited the door of the main hall.At this time, a strange smell floated into my nose, and I looked towards the Taoist priest, and it seemed that there was an inexplicable air around him.

Old Zhao and I glanced at each other, and led Guo Yulin back quickly.After walking for a certain distance, Old Zhao suddenly stopped.Looking back at the temple in the distance, I said, "Did any of you see how that person got in?" I knew that I was asking Cui Erye and Guo Yulin this question.

Both of them shook their heads, and Guo Yulin said, "We didn't see anyone go in through the door, did they go in from the back of the main hall?"

I shook my head and said, "Impossible. I turned around when I went in. There was only a wall behind, and there were no windows. How could he go in?"

Old Zhao smiled and said, "Little Guo, have you ever seen this Taoist priest before? Has there been no Taoist priest guarding this temple?" Guo Yulin shook his head.

Old Zhaotou asked me again: "Boy, what do you see? Do you feel the strangeness of this Temple of the Three Emperors? And what do you think of the person in Taoist uniform?"

I smiled and said, "I wanted to ask you too, but you asked me first." Pointing to the Temple of the Three Emperors, I said, "Look at the surrounding vegetation, but the closer the main hall is, the less vegetation there is. And The surrounding earth veins are broken and connected, which shows that there is no land that will die."

Old Zhao nodded when he heard this, and then said: "This kind of terrain is good or bad for making a tomb. There is no vitality in building temples and Taoist temples here. Right!"

I immediately said: "Yes! But I couldn't see that old guy. What's the problem? But his naked eyes show that his cultivation base is very high!"

"Yes!" Old Zhao said, patted me and said, "Not only is his cultivation level very high, but he is also not young. It should be said that he is older than what we saw. It should be There is a person who is over a hundred years old. His cultivation level is no smaller than that of your old guy." I knew that the last sentence was for me

"What?" "No way?" Cui Erye and Guo Yulin shouted together in surprise.I wasn't that surprised, I guessed it from the light in his exposed eyes.

Old Zhao did not answer them, but continued: "I smell a long-lost scent from him, it seems that I have met an expert again."

I smiled and said to him: "You are talking about corpse and evil spirits! If I guessed correctly, I smelled a strange smell when I went out just now. When I saw him, there was always a smell on my body that I could not say no to." Clear your breath."

Old Zhao laughed and said: "It seems that your nose is still very good. You are right, it is this smell. It seems that our opponent this time should be him!"

As soon as Guo Yulin heard that he was dragging me, he asked what was going on.How can this matter be explained clearly in one or two sentences!So I told him to wait until I got back.

Back at Guo Yulin's house, his parents were sitting and chatting in the yard.So I took Guo Yulin to the front of the two old men and asked them about the Sanhuang Temple.

Unexpectedly, when Guo Yulin's father heard that we had gone to Sanhuang Temple.Surprised for a while, even said that we should not go where.It's amazing to startle the gods inside.I smiled and handed the old man a cigarette.Ask him to tell you about the Sanhuang Temple.

The old man took a deep breath and said to me: "When he was a child, the Temple of the Three Emperors existed. But it was not called the Temple of the Three Emperors at that time. It was called the Temple of Grandma Huang. The Hall of the Three Emperors was just the last hall inside. There is a short Taoist priest in his 50s who is not tall." When I heard that it was called Grandma Huang Temple and the short Taoist priest, Lao Zhaotou, Cui Erye and I all looked at each other.

The old man was smoking a cigarette, and slowly continued to tell us about this weird Temple of the Three Emperors.It turns out that the "Grandma Huang" temple was full of incense in those days, and there were many people burning incense and making wishes in the surrounding area.When it came to the Cultural Revolution, the Red Guards from the county school came to destroy the Four Olds.But when they entered the temple, the Three Emperors at the back were gone, only the statue of the Yellow Emperor in front.Looking for the Taoist priest everywhere, the Taoist priest disappeared.

So the Red Guards burned the statue of Grandma Huang and smashed the temple.Only the Three Emperors Hall in the back is still intact.It was left empty all the time, and some of the bravest ones ran to steal the contents.

After the Cultural Revolution ended, one night there was a sudden light inside the Three Emperors Hall, and the surrounding people were afraid and did not go there.The next day, the village boldly ran to take a look, and the missing Three Emperors Palace had returned.

Everyone thought that this was the manifestation of the Three Emperors, so they all secretly went to worship.But it didn't take long for strange things to happen!Dozens of young people got strange diseases one after another, and several of them died one after another before they could be sent to the hospital.

Just when everyone was wondering, a 50-year-old Taoist priest appeared again...
