There is a body in the coffin.
It's normal to have corpses, but what's not normal is that this corpse looks so weird.
Because the body in the coffin was very fresh, and it didn't look like a dead person, but like a living person sleeping.
This corpse looked to be about fifty years old, wearing a monk's robe, standing in the coffin.
Suddenly seeing such a person standing in the coffin, Uncle Hu Zi and I were startled. After being stunned for a while, we took a few steps back, and the coffin board suddenly fell heavily to the ground.
Guo Xiaotong and the others soon saw the body in the coffin, and they all looked shocked.
"Master... is this a human or a ghost?" Uncle Hu Zi was also a little panicked. He held the dagger tightly in his hand and stared at the corpse in the coffin.
I stood four or five meters away from the coffin and looked at the body again. I was convinced that this person was indeed dead and there was no trace of life in him.
When I took a closer look at the old Taoist in the coffin, I suddenly found that his hands were a little weird, as if they were making seals.
So I walked towards the body again.
But Uncle Hu Zi grabbed me and said, "Master, be careful, I'd better go over."
"It's okay, don't worry, everyone, the person in this coffin has been dead for a long, long time."
As I said that, I came to the corpse again, looked at his hands, and suddenly discovered that the seal on his hands turned out to be a very rare Tiangang demon-suppressing seal.
Next to the body, there are two things.
A wooden box and a thread-bound ancient book.
Nothing else.
I went over and opened the wooden box, but it was empty.
After looking carefully, I found that the box seemed to be used to store paintings, so I took out the painting of a lady and put it in the box. The size was just right.
It seems that this picture of a lady was originally packed in this box.
"Master Wu, did this man die not long ago? Why isn't he rotten at all?" Li Poxiao asked boldly.
"I don't know either. Let's take a closer look."
With that said, I put down the wooden box and picked up the book.
After opening it, I saw a seal on the title page. As soon as I saw the seal, my eyes widened.
Because the words on the seal are "Pingyuan Taoist Master", which is exactly the same as the seal on the painting.
Could it be that the person in front of me is the Pingyuan Taoist who painted pictures of ladies?
This man has been dead for more than a hundred years?
Thinking of this, I find it incredible that after more than a hundred years, a corpse is still intact, as if it was asleep. How did this Pingyuan Taoist do it?
"Master, be careful. Why do I feel like the body can come back to life at any time?" Uncle Hu Zi reminded from the side.
Not to mention it was him, I felt the same way and was always wary of this corpse.
But I was quickly attracted by the words in that ancient book.
This book was written by Taoist Priest Pingyuan himself, and what was recorded in it turned out to be about enchanting spirits.
As soon as I saw the words in the book, I couldn't wait to read it.
The text in this book is similar to classical Chinese, and all are in traditional Chinese. When I was in school, my grades were not very good, so it was really difficult to read this kind of text.
If I had known earlier, I would have studied hard.
However, I can generally understand what is recorded above.
Since the text above is too harsh and obscure, I will not narrate it according to the original text.
This is what is recorded above.
Charms are all born because of poor Taoism, and several people have died because of this. They all made big mistakes because of poor Taoism's momentary greed. I wish to seal the Charming Spirits with death so that they will never come out again!
More than a hundred years ago, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was war and chaos everywhere, foreign enemies invaded above, and banditry by officers and soldiers below. The people were in dire straits and miserable.
Taoist priest Pingyuan is the master of this Taoist temple.
In that era of war and chaos, Taoist priest Pingyuan was able to live alone in this Taoist temple deep in the mountains and forests.
It seems as if the years of war outside and the hustle and bustle of the world have nothing to do with this Taoist temple.
One day, Taoist priest Pingyuan went down the mountain and met a mother and daughter who had fled from other places.
The mother and daughter looked like they belonged to a wealthy family. They were wearing silk and satin, but their bodies were stained with blood.
When I met the mother and daughter, I found that the mother was injured and had a knife on her body.
After asking, I found out that their family was fleeing from other places and encountered bandits blocking the way.
The child's father and accompanying servants were killed by bandits, and everything was robbed.
In order to protect the mother and daughter, the whole family died.
When the woman saw Taoist Pingyuan, she begged him to take in their mother and daughter.
Taoist priest Pingyuan was also a kind-hearted person, so he brought the mother and daughter to the Taoist temple.
But the child's mother was stabbed and fled all the way, bleeding a lot. Not long after arriving at the Taoist temple, she died.
Taoist priest Pingyuan buried the child's mother and took the little girl to live with her.
In addition to this little girl, Taoist Master Pingyuan also has several apprentices who take great care of this little girl.
This child was already in his teens when he came to the Taoist temple.
After a few years, Chuluo became more and more beautiful.
Several apprentices had some thoughts about this girl, but the little girl fell in love with Taoist Master Yu Pingyuan.
The girl's name is Cheng Ling'er, and she is very smart. When Taoist Master Pingyuan first met the little girl, he found that she had wisdom and was very suitable for practicing Taoism.
Taoist Master Pingyuan is a descendant of Zhengyi Dao, and Taoists who practice Zhengyi Dao can get married.
As Cheng Linger grows up day by day, she becomes more and more beautiful.
Taoist Priest Pingyuan could still treat Cheng Ling'er as his disciple at first, but later he couldn't control himself anymore.
At this time, Taoist Priest Pingyuan suddenly thought of practicing a technique of his own with Cheng Linger, called Shuangxiu Hehe Technique.
It is said that if you practice this technique successfully, you can rejuvenate yourself, stay young forever, and prolong your life.
But this was an extreme drain on Cheng Ling'er.
This Shuangxiu Hehe technique is a technique that collects yin and replenishes yang.
Once this technique is successfully practiced, Cheng Ling'er will most likely die.
But at that time, Taoist Master Pingyuan was a little obsessed, and Cheng Ling'er was grateful to him for saving her life, and she also felt attached to him.
So Taoist Priest Pingyuan and Cheng Ling'er practiced the Shuangxiu Hehe technique together.
After practicing this technique, Cheng Ling'er looked more and more haggard day by day, but Taoist Pingyuan became more energetic and much younger.
Less than two years later, Cheng Ling'er died.
At that time, Taoist Master Pingyuan had achieved some success in practicing this technique.
