Mystery Leaks

Chapter 180 Finding the God Orbs
"Since Huang Chao has obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it represents the destiny. Why did the kingdom of life and death die in just a few years?" I asked hastily.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and China was in chaos. The land of China was bloody and rainy, and the Han people who were killed went south to flee for their lives. This was the reason for the great development of the south of the Yangtze River. The south was a barren land before.

"This is a historical mystery, and the history of Fashixing is also unclear. It is said that Huang Chao is not a man of destiny. He just borrowed the power of strange things to take shortcuts and wiped out the Tang Dynasty, which still had some destiny. , was backlashed, and fell from the peak in just a few years, life and death in Tiger Wolf Valley, and the country was destroyed. The second said that Huang Chao got the destiny, but a mysterious force interrupted him, and the result was that Huang Chao died, representing the destiny The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo was also broken; of course, there are other theories, too." Huang Mao said.

"Chuan Guo's heavy weapon is broken?"

I muttered something and looked down at the Nine Star Wheel.

The Nine Star Wheel is obviously incomplete and incomplete. If the fate of the two respect devices is the same, then the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is really broken.

"Wait, isn't this Jade Seal of Chuanguo man-made? What does it have to do with the destiny?" I asked hastily. It is clearly recorded in history that Qin Shihuang ordered Prime Minister Li Si to use He's Bi to make the seal, and the words carved on it were also written by Li Si. .

"The key lies in He's Bi. It is recorded in historical records that He's Bi is a piece of jade, but it is not. It is the same as the round beads on the Nine Star Wheel. It is a divine stone left over from Nuwa's refinement of stones to mend the sky. It fell into the world and was wrapped in In the stone skin, it was mistaken for jade; it is a sacred object, much larger than the sacred stone on the nine-star wheel." Huang Mao explained.

"Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky?"

I couldn't help frowning, this is a myth and legend, it is so illusory that it is hard to believe its authenticity.That was the prehistoric era, or the tribal period when people drank blood and knotted ropes to keep track of events.

According to the records of the age of mythology, the Great God Pan Gu opened up the world and split the world with a big axe. The clear ones floated up and became the stars, the sun and the moon in the sky, and the turbid ones sank and became the earth.

And after Pan Gu split the world, he also ran out of fuel, and after death, his body turned into mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, everything in the world, and his soul became the ancient gods of the heavens.

Among them are Empress Nuwa, who has a human body and a snake tail, and her elder brother, Fuxi, who also has a human body and a snake tail.

But the ancient gods of the heavens are not limited to just the two of them, there are also the water god Gonggong, the fire god Zhurong, the emperor Zhuanxu... and so on.

Gonggong, the god of water, and Zhuanxu, the emperor, were at odds with each other. They fought for seven days and seven nights, breaking Buzhou Mountain.

But Zhoushan is the pillar supporting the heaven and the earth, so the sky collapsed, a big hole appeared, the flood poured down, and the divine fire came from the sky. The world was in chaos, and the people were mourning. Tian, ​​cut off the limbs of Shenao to replace Buzhou Mountain, and only then did the catastrophe of destroying the world be put to rest.

Not long after that, Nuwa also ran out of fuel and disappeared into the long river of history.

The divine stones she practiced were not used up, and some of them were left in the world, creating many myths and legends. The Monkey King in Journey to the West is said to have been conceived from the divine stones.

But the problem is...these are all myths and legends!
What is a myth is a wild fabrication with little truth.

What is certain is that human beings are the primates of all things, and they were definitely not created by Empress Nuwa. This is an obvious attachment.

"Nuwa's creation of man and her refinement of stones to mend the sky must be false, but you should remember this kind of legend, it will not be fabricated out of thin air, most of them have prototypes, according to the general reasoning of the Fashixing, the female Wa was supposed to be the leader of a matrilineal clan tribe at that time, and Gonggong and Zhuanxu were also the leaders of a certain tribe. Gonggong and Zhuanxu caused some catastrophe due to the war, and Nuwa finally came forward to settle it. , can only be passed on by word of mouth, you add some oil, I add some vinegar, and finally it becomes a mythical story." Huang Mao said.

I nodded, this explanation is sound.

This is very similar to the myth of Guan Gong and Guan Yu. Guan Yu is definitely not a god. He was just a general under Liu Bei's military group in the Three Kingdoms era, and it was later generations who added fuel to the myth of him.

Guan Yu is the prototype, and Guan Caishen is a myth, but the difference is that Nuwa's mythology is more intense, because there was no writing at that time, and even if there was, there was no suitable carrier.It doesn't want pen and ink, and can record something very accurately and in detail.

"What kind of disaster is that?" I tried to ask, Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky, but the well-known myths and legends must have caused a major accident, otherwise future generations would not remember it like this.

Hu Lai pondered for a while, and said: "There is such a saying, I also heard from an old senior, that Nuwa's refining stones is not to mend the sky, but to block the passage of some evil things to come to the world."

"Evil thing?" My heart skipped a beat. If so, the truth might be more scary.

"That era was dominated by practitioners. Nuwa, Fuxi, and all the mythical characters were practitioners, and none of them were very powerful. They went to heaven and earth, and they were omnipotent. They could be called gods. It’s not exactly made up.”

Hu Lai looked at me and said: "In other words, if you were born in that era, you would definitely be a spiritual genius. People who are suitable for cultivation, the stronger the curse, until they become unlucky people."

Thousands of alpacas ran wildly past in my heart. The proud son of heaven in the age of mythology has become a cursed person now, and he is far inferior to ordinary people.

Lonely, young, poor, everything makes people desperate!
For now, these three curses have only come true, and I am afraid it will be even more severe in the future, because I have lost the blessing of my grandfather.

"Then this ominous man's curse, can it be undone?" I asked hastily.

Now that this word has appeared, it means that there were many people like me in the past, and it may not be certain that some people have solved it.

"Man-made curses may be solved, but heaven's curses are difficult. I've never heard of them being solved successfully." Huang Mao hesitated for a moment and said.

I immediately despaired, what he said was right, grandpa was the leader, even he couldn't help me get rid of the curse, and my life and death were still uncertain, which shows how powerful this curse is.

Maybe it won't be long before I will be killed by this continuous stream of tricks.

After all, he has been targeted by the ghosts of the underworld, and the book of life and death probably shows that his lifespan is exhausted.

In a sense, he is already dead.

"However, this nine-star wheel may give you a chance!"

Hu Lai's words gave me a shot in the arm, he said: "Your grandfather left this for you, it must be of great use to you, but the problem is that there is only one plate left of this thing, and the spirit beads and nine The first orb is missing. Fortunately, you found one. If you can gather the remaining nine, you may be able to lift the curse. Next."

I nodded heavily, and after sorting things out, things seemed to be much clearer.

The most central spirit bead was found in the tomb, and the other spirit beads may also be found in the tomb.

Grandpa took me to Jinpen Township, perhaps for this purpose.

If this is the case, then the key left by grandpa is very important to him.

Originally, I wanted to destroy the key, because Chen Laogen said that opening the tomb would be a catastrophe for Jinpen Township and would kill many people.

But now...it seems that he is on the side of the tomb robbers and must open the tomb.

This change made me a little flustered, it was a complete 180-degree turn, and I couldn't catch it.

I'm afraid grandpa also wanted to open the tomb and collect the nine sacred stones, but he failed and his whereabouts are unknown.Otherwise, Feng Qiantou wouldn't scold him, saying that all the disasters were brought by grandpa, that grandpa was not a good person, and that he ruined the Feng Shui of Jinpen Township.

The truth is, Grandpa risked being stabbed in the back and the villagers in Jinpen Township suffered catastrophe, just to find a way out for me.

And he didn't know anything about it.

At this moment, I even felt very useless. After living for more than 20 years, I was cheated by Xu Jiaojiao’s family just after making a little money.

It's almost like trash.

"Hu is right. Since this thing can reveal the curse mark of an ominous person, it will definitely be able to remove it. You must keep it safe, and don't let others take it away, especially the group of tomb robbers. If there are priceless treasures, they will definitely kill people and get them." Seeing that I was a little depressed, Huang Mao also encouraged me.

I said yes again and again, opened the cover of the TV, put the disc back, closed it again and tightened the screws.

"By the way, you are an unlucky person, don't mention it to anyone, or you will be in danger." Huangmao warned.

I naturally said yes, but when I saw the grimace mark on the palm of my hand, I couldn't help but feel troubled, and said, "Is there a way to cover up this curse mark?"

The palm of the hand is different from other parts of the body. If it is exposed, one hand will be found. It is okay to wear gloves, but you can’t wear them all the time. You have to rely on repairing skills for a living. Wearing gloves is not realistic.

"Wipe it with incense ash every morning and evening, it's fine, ghosts and gods won't accept your incense, so you can only worship your ancestors, heaven and earth." Hu Lai said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, this is easy to handle, the ancestral house enshrines the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Meng family, and there are plenty of incense ash there, and it is right to wash the incense ash in the morning and evening, it is not troublesome.

Afterwards, Hu Lai and Huang Mao comforted me a few more words, saying that Grandpa helped me find the roulette of the Nine Stars Wheel, there was hope, and they left.

I sent them out and closed the shop again.

Sitting on the bed, my mood was ups and downs for a while, and things happened to me one after another during this period of time.

I found out the reason why my grandfather disappeared, and revealed my own secrets, but in the face of it, the future is even more confusing.

At this moment, I really had no way out.

I can only do my best to try, if I win, maybe there is still a way out, if I fail, everything is over, and I have to do it as soon as possible, because the ghosts of the underworld will come to hook my soul at any time, and by then, it will be beyond redemption.

The old people said that if the soul of the dead does not arrive in the underworld for a long time to reincarnate, they will be sent to the Jiuyou Hell. Thinking about the legendary Nether Purgatory, my heart can't help trembling.

That kind of fate is definitely not what I want!

……

After a while, I went to the old house and found that what Hu said was true. Once the incense ash was wiped off, the curse mark would fade away. After rubbing it several times and then washing it with water, the mark would disappear into nothingness.

I hurriedly offered incense to the ancestors of the Meng family, and asked them to bless me. I must let myself lift the curse, and at the same time find the whereabouts of my grandfather.

Different from extinguishing incense in temples, offering incense to the ancestors of the Meng family, including grandpa, has never been extinguished. According to Huang Mao, only the ancestors of the Meng family and heaven and earth can still receive their own incense.

Thinking of this, I think it is necessary to try it out, not afraid of [-], just in case, what if I make a mistake?

I immediately took a few incense sticks and closed the door, and rode my bicycle to the Earth Temple in the east of the township.

The earth temple only had people come back to offer incense and worship during the festivals, or the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. Usually no one came, and it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was already in a semi-abandoned state.

When I arrived at the place, I looked around carefully and saw no one, so I lit a stick of incense, said a few words of blessing, and inserted the incense into the incense altar.

What left me speechless was that as soon as the incense was let go, it was extinguished, and thousands of alpacas ran past in my heart.

It's really unbelievable!
