Chapter 114
Hei Wuchang, who hadn't enlightened his mind yet, raised his mourning stick angrily and wanted to greet me, but this time he was held back by Bai Wuchang at the side.

Heiwuchang was angry, and he said: "You say you, thanks to you are still a Mr. Yin-Yang, you have lived in this village for several days, and you can't even see a hundred grievances. There are graves in the four directions of the village. Don't you find it strange?"

I nodded: "When I first came here, I found it strange that the village was surrounded by grave mounds, but later I thought it was a coffin-carrying game by the four ghosts, so I didn't think much about it. Why, are the grave mounds around here still Is there anything else important?"

Heiwuchang began to blame me, and he said, "You didn't ask the villagers. There are four major cemeteries in this village. Those with wooden life are buried in the east, those with golden life are buried in the west, and those with fire life are buried in the west." It is buried in the south, and the man of water life is buried in the north, wood, gold, fire and water are four elephants, and these four elephants form the four eyes of the Hundred Resentments Yin Locking Formation, don't you see it at all?"

Once I heard him talk about the four elephants, and then heard him say that the graves in the east, northwest, and four directions of the village are all buried according to the four elephants of wood, metal, fire, and water, I finally realized it.

Sixiang, in Yin Yang art, refers to wood, fire, gold and water. As the saying goes, Taiji produces two forms, and two forms produce four forms. Taiji is one, which means chaos. Liangyi refers to yin and yang, and yin and yang give rise to four forms.In traditional Chinese culture, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu represent the four elephants. Qinglong represents wood, white tiger represents gold, Suzaku represents fire, and Xuanwu represents water. They also represent the four directions of east, west, north, south, and south respectively.In the 28 constellations, the four images are used to divide the stars in the sky, also known as the four gods and the four spirits.The traditional orientation of China is that the south is at the top, which is different from the modern north at the top. Therefore, when describing the orientation of the four elephants, it will also be expressed by saying the left green dragon (east), the right white tiger (west), the front red bird (south), and the back basalt (north). , and echoes with the Five Elements in terms of orientation (east wood, west gold, north water and south fire).

That is to say, the grave mounds in the four directions of the south, east, west, and north of this village are all consistent with the five elements of the deceased's fate, so it is not the ghost carrying the coffin of the four ghosts, but the four spirits, namely Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Among the guardian gods, they are a kind of gods specially used to guard the gates of Taoist temples.For example, Tianshi Cave (ancient Taoist temple) in Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist resort, in front of the majestic mountain gate, there are two temples on the left and right. God.

Thinking of this, I was shocked at the moment, knowing that I had indeed caused trouble, and I said, "This is really the Hundred Resentments Locking Yin Formation? The four spirits are the gods guarding the formation?"

I was enlightened by Heiwujian, gave a cold drink, and then continued: "Not only that, in the theory of yin and yang, the four images refer to the natural phenomena of the four seasons, which are called Shaoyang, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Taiyin respectively. It is the so-called Taiji Two appearances, two appearances give birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip. The four images here represent a spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night. It’s a world, and it’s daytime outside, so they dare not come out to make trouble.”

I broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and thought to myself, why didn't I take a good look at it at that time?But at the same time, I felt very wronged. Why didn’t they tell me that when I asked the villagers why there were so many graves around them, they were buried according to the four elements of gold, wood, water and fire?

At this time, Heiwuchang continued to teach me.

It turned out that the reason why there is no water here and the river is dry is that the springs were deliberately driven away.Because Feng Shui is very particular, water can gather Qi, this place is very murderous, resentful, dark, and fierce. If there is more water, it will be great. Who can suppress the gathering of those ghosts?Therefore, there should be no water here, so that murderous, resentful and fierce spirits cannot gather.

However, now I don’t understand anything, so I drove the spring back again. The water can gather energy, and the murderous spirit and resentment can be gathered. In addition, I have broken the Yin Yin Formation of Hundred Resentments, and the village will not be in chaos. No wonder.

Speaking of this, Hei Wuchang was so angry that he had nothing to say, but Bai Wuchang on the side smiled and said: "You are really brave, you live here and break the geomantic omen, you break the formation, and you send water. It seems that you want to create a In a treasured place of geomantic omen, help those ghosts escape!"

Hearing this, I was so ashamed that I really wanted to find a hole and drill into the ground.I thought to myself that I was really talented, and I still don't know if I got into a catastrophe.

Bai Wuchang continued: "This village is indeed a vicious place, but most of its grievances are due to the yin hole in Xiaotubao. Although the water here is cut off, the qi cannot gather, and it is composed of four elephants in the south, east, north, and west. The Hundred Resentments Yin Locking Formation is suppressing, but it is still inevitable that the resentment will be exposed, but it has been restrained a lot. After you saw it, you thought it was the place where the 'four ghosts carried the coffin', so you didn't think about it. Condensing the evil dew, it takes a lot of resentment to form, and this village has been around for more than a hundred years, and there is such a place in the village that is so dark, it is reasonable to say that it has long been extinct, but why is it still there? living?"

That's right, the evil dew can condense in the small soil bag. It is reasonable to say that as many people as there are in such a place, as many people will die. This kind of place is absolutely unable to keep the living.

At this time, Bai Wuchang went on to say: "This is your mistake. You only believe in Taoism and Dharma, but you don't consider the truth. Big mistake of yours."

Listening to Bai Wuchang's passage, I finally understand, indeed, I have paid too much attention to the principles of the Five Elements these years, and have not thought about its rationale.

At this time, Cao Qilong on the side suddenly said: "Since this is not the four ghosts carrying the coffin, why are the souls carried away by ghosts at night?"

Hei Wuchang couldn't help but stretched out his mourning stick to beat Cao Qilong, which frightened him. In the end, Hei Wuchang just pretended to beat someone, but didn't really beat him. He cursed: "This village is a coffin. Go to the altar, if you don't grab it, you can still invite you to go as if you were asking the uncle!"

"Arrest someone to go to the altar?" Upon hearing this, Cao Qilong and I were startled.My heart said, why would ghosts arrest people and go to the altar?
Both Black and White Wuchang did not answer us, but said: "In short, you will know later, you have caused this trouble, and you have to clean it up yourself." After finishing speaking, the two disappeared in place...

After Black and White Wuchang left, we were still in place for a long time.Cao Qilong asked me: "Junior brother, what should we do now? How can we do something for the villagers with such good intentions, but cause such a big trouble? Even the two masters of black and white impermanence have been recruited. It seems that we are really poking fun this time." Lou Zi!"

I was even more discouraged, because I thought I knew yin and yang and understood Taoism before, so I made a big fuss.This time, the Hundred Resentments Locking Yin Formation is regarded as the four ghosts carrying the coffin, this is really the rhythm of death.So he sighed, and said to Cao Qilong: "There is no other way now, let's find a way to remedy it! According to Black and White Wuchang, all this is caused by that little bumpkin in the center of the village, so we have to Just take that little bag of dirt."

"But the two masters of black and white impermanence also said that it is a place where all kinds of grievances accumulate, even in broad daylight, grievances and dews can be condensed, do you think we can handle it with just the two of us?" Cao Qilong was a little scared.

I naturally understand what Cao Qilong means, indeed, we are not at all sure about such a dangerous place.However, misfortune had already broken out and could no longer be avoided.Immediately I said: "It's a big deal, death, it's impossible to leave the villagers alone for the sake of life?"

Cao Qilong stomped his feet and made up his mind, saying: "Okay, anyway, I have a small life, and I will die sooner or later. We have nothing to worry about in this life. Today, I will play with those evil spirits."

I smiled wryly, yes, I have nothing to worry about.He exchanged a glance with Cao Qilong, and then ran towards the small dirt bag in the center of the village...

Soon, we came to the small soil bag not far away. Looking at the small soil bag in front of us, our expressions suddenly changed, because the place was completely changed at this time.I saw that the lights were brightly lit there, and there was a big long table on a small soil bag, an incense burner was placed on top of the long table, and pig heads, whole chickens and other sacrifices were placed in front of the incense burner, but people's heads were pouring under the stage, as if It seems that someone is engaged in sacrificial activities in front of him.

"What... what's going on here?" Cao Qilong was shocked immediately.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a person!" After I finished speaking, I walked slowly towards the little dirt bag...
