Taboo Master

Chapter 264 Zhong Kui's Bone

I finally saw Mr. Yang again, but it was in a small mirror. His voice and smile were still the same, but there was an eternal separation between heaven and man, yin and yang.

Mr. Yang seemed to be wearing a black robe at this time, and there was a faint layer of mist on the mirror, so he couldn't see clearly, but he could see his face clearly. Also, he was wearing a mask on his head. The weird tall hat, with a half-smile on his face, is looking at us kindly from the mirror.

Yang Chen was so excited that he couldn't say anything, he kept staring at Mr. Yang in the mirror, he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, Ah Jiu watched coldly from the side, and reminded: "Hurry up."

I hurriedly recovered, stepped forward to salute respectfully, and said, "Grandpa, we're here to see you."

My grandfather's cry came from the bottom of my heart. For some reason, when I saw Mr. Yang, I couldn't help but think of my grandpa. Tears were about to roll in my eyes, and I almost choked up when I called out this grandfather.

Mr. Yang is in another world, but he smiled at us, without even the slightest sadness, he said with a smile: "Children, I am very happy that you come to see Grandpa. If there is something important, please tell us quickly." Well, while I'm still free."

Yang Chen said in shock: "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? What do you mean you are still free now?"

Mr. Yang said: "You child is still impatient. To tell you the truth, after I arrived in the underworld, because of my merits and virtues in this world and the face of Master Lu Ban, I was not punished in front of Yan Luo Temple. I have an errand, and I will stay in the underworld in the future, and I won’t be reincarnated for a while. But after I officially work on an errand, I’m afraid I won’t be free.”

I couldn't help but be happy, very happy for Mr. Yang. You know, those who can stay in the underworld as errands have certain merits and virtues. Reincarnation, that must be a remarkable person.

Most importantly, in this way, even though Mr. Yang said that being an official is not free, I believe that there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, especially with the help of that Guo Ba. I think that Mr. Yang is already an official. Guo Ba was originally on a errand, and now he must be an official errand.

Sure enough, as I expected, Mr. Yang went on to say that he and Master Ah Jiu had a friendship, and thanks to Master Ah Jiu’s help this time, the two will work together and take care of each other. Let us not feel sad for him , and don't miss it.

Yang Chen asked again what kind of job he was in the underworld, but Mr. Yang's expression darkened, telling him not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, these are all underworld secrets and cannot be said nonsense.

After their grandfather and grandson had finished talking, I hurriedly told Mr. Yang all the things I had encountered in these days. Although there was Ah Jiu next to me, I also There is nothing to shy away from, after all, the opportunity to meet Mr. Yang is very rare.

I tried to downplay this experience as much as possible, but Yang Chen and Ah Jiu were still dumbfounded. Needless to say, Yang Chen, even a cold-tempered person like Ah Jiu had a look of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he was very curious and yearning for everything I described, and even his eyes froze when he heard it.

I ignored them, and tried to explain everything as clearly as possible in the simplest way. After hearing this, Mr. Yang frowned on the other side of the mirror. I hurriedly took out the skull and put it In front of the mirror, I asked Mr. Yang: "This is the skull. You can see it clearly if you keep looking at it?"

Mr. Yang moved his eyes down, nodded slowly, indicating that he could see clearly, but he only looked at the skull for less than five seconds, and his face suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "This, this is... ..."

I trembled all over, and said anxiously: "What is this, did you see it?"

Mr. Yang's complexion kept changing. Even though it appeared from the mirror, he could still see clearly. He stretched out his hand, calmed down and said, "Is there a depression in the middle of the forehead of the skull caused by the impact?"

I hurriedly lowered my head to check, but I didn't pay attention to it before. When he said this, I realized that, as he said, there was really an obvious depression in the middle of the forehead of the skull similar to what he said, as if it had been forcibly It's the same as the one that came out, but the color of the skull is black and purple, so it's hard to distinguish if you don't look carefully. .

"Yes, there is a depression, it looks like it was hit." I nodded and said.

"That's probably it..." Mr. Yang suddenly took a deep breath, which made me wonder, is there still air in this underworld?

But he closed his eyes again, as if searching for something in his memory, we stared at the mirror anxiously, after a while, Mr. Yang opened his eyes, looked at us very seriously, and suddenly said: " With regard to this skull, you now have two options."

My eyes widened, why is there a choice?
Mr. Yang continued: "One is to throw this thing away immediately, preferably in a place where no one will ever find it, and the other is to hide this thing on your body so that no matter what happens, it cannot be snatched away."

I was shocked in my heart, and a chill came out of my body involuntarily. Mr. Yang's voice was quick and firm, with unquestionable determination, but why did he let me do this?
I stubbornly asked Mr. Yang, what is the origin of this thing, Mr. Yang's expression was fixed, as if he was unwilling to speak, but under my persistent gaze, he finally told me: "This thing should be from the legend. Zhong Kui bone."

"Zhong Kui bone?" Yang Chen and I exclaimed at the same time, what the hell is this?
"That's right, Zhong Kui's bone, that is, the bone of Tianshi Zhong Kui." Mr. Yang said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, we were dumbfounded at the same time, because this Zhong Kui was very famous when he mentioned it. I think not only I know, but many people know. The yin and yang judge of evil ghosts, in Taoism, Zhong Kui is also called the Celestial Master, a great god-level figure who is good at catching ghosts and eating ghosts.

Speaking of Zhong Kui, according to the folklore, he was originally a talented and learned scholar in the Tang Dynasty. , with sincerity.

Zhong Kui went to Beijing to rush for the exam and was the champion of high school, but because of his ugly appearance, he was rejected by the emperor, so he was not hired, and his champion was dismissed.Zhong Kui argued hard to no avail, deeply felt that the world was unfair and there was no way to serve the country, so after cursing the emperor, he angrily bumped into a pillar and died.

After Zhong Kui's death, his spirit remained, and he fell into dreams every night, yelling at the faint king and having no way.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong was ill. One night, he dreamed that a little ghost stole the treasure of Concubine Yang Gui.

This big ghost has shaggy hair and beard, a terrifying face, a horn belt on his head, and a blue robe with one arm exposed.Rushing into the palace, he grabbed the little devil with his hand, bit the little devil whole, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Xuanzong was terrified and asked who this person was.The big ghost claimed to be Zhongkui in Zhongnan Mountain, but Emperor Gaozu himself named him the God of Exorcism, and then he told the story again, saying that he was deeply buried by Gaozu, and he vowed to eradicate all demons for the Tang Dynasty.

After Tang Xuanzong woke up, his illness quickly recovered.So he asked the painter Wu Daozi to draw a picture of Zhong Kui according to what he saw in his dream, and named Zhong Kui the "Sage King of Blessing the Town House", and ordered the world to hang "Zhong Kui Blessing the Town House Picture" to protect blessings and eliminate evil spirits. To bless peace.

In fact, Zhong Kui should be a god, a god bestowed by the emperor himself. At that time, the imperial power was supreme, and the emperor was the son of heaven. The god bestowed by the emperor was naturally recognized by the Jade Emperor.Therefore, this Zhong Kui's status is really not low. In the Yin and Yang worlds, as long as there are evil spirits and ghosts, he can control them, catch them, and even eat them.

His authority is very special. He is not an official of the underworld, but he can manage the evil spirits in the world. He is not an official of the world, but he can manage the injustice in the world.

But at this moment, the skull of the bullish Mr. Zhong Kui and his old man will appear in front of us. This has to make me amazed, and a big question mark floats in my heart: this skull, Could it be Zhong Kui's skull?Isn't this nonsense!

Mr. Yang saw my doubts, and said in a positive tone: "That's right, it is Zhong Kui's bone. The depression on his forehead is enough to explain it. Few people know about this thing. According to legend, this is the skull of Zhong Kui's body left over from that time. In the human world, with incredible magic power..."

Mr. Yang said that although this Zhong Kui was a ghost-hunting celestial master with a great reputation, and he was an upright, upright and kind-hearted person, the skull he left behind was not a good thing.

After Zhong Kui's death, he was named the Holy King of the town house, the celestial master of catching ghosts, and even his physical body had mana, so some people with bad intentions secretly packed up his remains, and finally chose his skull, practiced it, and became a ghost. It is said that someone used this Zhong Kui bone to gather ghosts and achieve their illegal purposes.

So strictly speaking, this thing should be an evil thing now.

Therefore, it is said in the world that the appearance of Zhong Kui's bone indicates that disasters are about to happen. Wherever this Zhong Kui bone goes, there will be uneasy ghosts, and all of them will be sucked by Zhong Kui's bone. victims of the law.

Mr. Yang's words are very shocking, but I am a little puzzled, if the celestial master Zhong Kui really has great supernatural powers and really exists in the world, then he can endure someone using his skull to do evil?

I was about to raise this question when the door behind me was suddenly kicked open. I turned around in astonishment, and saw a figure rushing in with a cold wind, pointing at the mirror and cursing viciously: "You, you fart!"
