Mantra

Chapter 115

It turned out that in the second year after Zhao Huo returned to his hometown, he learned from many sources that his eldest brother did not have a good life after following Li Zicheng.

After Li broke into BJ, he was full of vigor, and immediately swung his troops eastward, and fought Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan "a piece of stone". Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui betrayed his country and sought glory, and cooperated with Manqing Li Yingwai, killing Li Zicheng by surprise, and even extinguished him. dream.

After being defeated by Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng fled back to BJ City. After he ascended the throne in the Forbidden City in a hurry, he ignored the people and fled to his hometown in Xi'an with his troops.

Before retreating, this Li Chuang showed his bandit nature again.

When he was defeated and angry, he vented his anger and sent someone to set fire to the Forbidden City, and even murdered a group of court ladies and survivors from the former Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Dao, the eldest brother of the Zhao family, also died in that military disaster. Not only did he die, but he didn't even find his bones during the killing and burning.

The death of the eldest brother of the Zhao family greatly shocked the heart of the second brother, Zhao Huo.

Suddenly, Zhao Huo felt that his idea of ​​"building a stronghold to protect himself" in the troubled times at all costs, was so fragile and childish in the face of "wars and man-made disasters".

While lamenting the tragic fate of his elder brother, he also suddenly realized that even Li Zicheng, who has millions of soldiers and has one foot in the Golden Palace, will be overthrown overnight in a shocking change. Now, how could the poor family of Pao Ding stay out of the matter by relying on a few earthen guns and swords?
Suddenly, Zhao Huo thought in despair that it was impossible to build a stronghold to protect himself and the Zhao family lineage.

And if we want the whole clan to continue to live peacefully on this land, we must rely on a more powerful force...

Suddenly, Zhao Huo thought of a "book" and a legend, and the power of gods and ghosts contained in that legend!
In short...he thought of a solution that was not a solution!

With such thoughts in mind, Zhao Huo called together more than 200 people, men, women and children from the whole village of Zhaojialou on a moonlit night.Tell everyone a shocking news...

Zhao Huo said that when he was born in troubled times, in order to protect himself, he would violate the taboos left by his ancestors. According to the legend, he created a "yin-eating beast" called Huoweilian, and relied on its power to protect the safety and prosperity of the Zhao clan. .

At first, his idea was unanimously opposed by the Zhao family.

The experienced seniors of the Zhao family told Zhao Huo that the "Huo Wei Lian" was just a legend heard by a cook and could not be taken seriously.

In that legend, there was an ingenious Pao Ding in ancient times who would use the "Secret Techniques of the Mohists" to refine such a monster. It was born from the collection of Yin energy from the world, and it is the master of Yin soldiers and the leader of all cats. It can be used well. , You can settle down and make money, but if you don't use it well, you will exterminate the family and invite disaster.

But since it is a legend, how can it be taken seriously?Zhao Huo wanted to use the legendary monsters to guard his house, he must be stupid!

Moreover, taking a step back, no one knows the specific details of the creation of "Huowei Lian". If he acts rashly and self-defeating in the end, won't it cause trouble for the upper body and bring disaster to the whole family?

Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhao Huo sneered for a while, and took out a book from his arms under the surprised eyes of everyone.

He put the book in his palm and told everyone: "This book is called 'The Forbidden Law of Food'. It was one of the forbidden books that I took out of the palace during the chaos when I fled the capital. The method of making Huoweilian is in it."

While speaking, Zhao Huo handed the banned book to the clansmen for review, and at the same time told the reason for the book.

He told everyone that this book is very miraculous. It was originally written by a "miscellaneous family" expert in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. , It was also checked and put into storage by Emperor Zhou.

This book is divided into three parts, the first part is dietary taboos, the middle part is the method of eating poisonous poison, and the second part is the principle of using food to raise animals to create monsters. It is all-inclusive and extremely ingenious.

But also because the book talks about witches, gods and monsters, after the "disaster of witches" in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, it was listed as a banned book by successive dynasties and was not allowed to be published. Even the book in Zhao Huo's hand, It is also a copy of the "Yongle Dadian" written by Ming Chengzu.

At this point, Zhao Huo was not without madness to encourage his clansmen to say: "The method of cultivating Huowei Lian is written in this wonderful book that covers everything. Let's follow the book, how can we go wrong?"

When it came to the content of the book, Zhao Huo praised the benefits of Huoweilian again.

He said that this thing understands human nature, eats the spirit of ruin, and can keep one party safe. The most important thing is that as long as you master the method of controlling it, you can ensure that the entire Zhao family is safe and sound in the chaotic world, away from the flames of war...

Under Zhao Huo's constant instigation, the members of the Zhao clan quickly changed their minds. They practiced sacrifices, practiced cat demons, and recruited Yin soldiers according to the "Food Forbidden Law".Finally, Huoweilian, a monster with worms on its tail, was created.

Having said this, I suddenly realized.It turned out that all of this was due to the ancestors of the Zhao family.

After more than 300 years, the Zhao family no longer needs Huoweilian's protection, and this unattended wild cat king has also become the "one tyrant" near Zhao's building, and he doesn't know what kind of monster he is. All the way to snatch women and grab luggage business.

This "yin-eating beast" that originally protected the village has become an "unscrupulous ghost" that harms people.

It is true that the predecessors planted trees... the later generations set fire!

After listening to Zhao Shuihe's words, the doubts in my heart should be dispelled, but at this time, I heard something strange from her words.

These things can be regarded as the ugliness of her Zhao family, right?Since it's a family scandal, why did she tell me so clearly as an outsider... Could it be that she has taken a fancy to me?
Involuntarily, I asked Grandma Zhao again: "Why did you tell me so clearly? You really don't treat me like an outsider."

"Of course I don't treat you as an outsider." Zhao Shuihe smiled strangely at me and said, "You are the only apprentice in the Lunan Zhao family. If you don't tell you about the master's inheritance, why do you call me grandma! And...you have to Do something for me."

What Zhao Shuihe said gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Let me do something for her?I feel like there's nothing good about it.

Therefore, I took a step back involuntarily and said, "What do you mean? I told you in advance that I can help you with anything, but don't expect me to pass on the family line of your old Zhao family."

"Get out!" My words made Zhao Shuihe anxious. She swung her fist and slapped me. After scolding shamelessly, she told me: "I have a task for my brother, I want you to help me turn off the light." The king and the master behind it."

What she said was exactly what I wanted.

This monster must be destroyed, otherwise it will haunt me with a group of cats and grandchildren all day long, and I will not be able to sleep well.

So I nodded and asked her further if she had any specific solutions.

But just when Zhao Shuihe was about to tell the wonderful timing in her heart, the mobile phone in her schoolbag rang suddenly.

Zhao Shuihe quickly took out his mobile phone, stared at the group of numbers on the screen, and frowned quickly.
