What is Jingguan?
Liu Ruxiang explained: "In ancient times, people drank hair, drank blood, captured, killed, and cooked people. Jingguan was one of them. The winning side cut off the heads of the defeated army and piled them up layer by layer into a hill to destroy the enemy's momentum and inspire their own side. Bloody.”
"The "Zuo Zhuan" records that 'Jun Yong built a military army and collected the corpses of the Jin Dynasty as a palace. When the ministers heard that they had defeated the enemy, they would show it to their descendants so that they would not forget their martial arts.' "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty" recorded that 'the first captured more than 100,000 people, Build a capital with a view to the south of the city."
Listening to Liu Ruxiang's explanation, I couldn't help but feel numb. If more than 100,000 people were beheaded and piled up to form a temple in Beijing, wouldn't it really be like a mountain?
Looking at the pile of skulls in front of him, Liu Ruxiang said: "Looking at the size of this capital, at least more than a thousand people were killed. Maybe there are still some underneath that have not been unearthed."
Huang Weizhong sighed: "Now, is it your two masters' turn? How long will it take to do this?"
Liu Ruxiang smiled slightly: "This place is not simple. Simple methods may be difficult to work. You must first collect the evil spirits nearby, otherwise there will still be endless troubles."
Wang Mingyin stroked his long beard and asked, "What do you think Mr. Liu has to say?"
"Master Wang, please rest first and let me take away all the evil souls here." Liu Ruxiang smiled lightly.
Then he called me to pick up the box and follow him down the pit.
Wang Mingyin felt that she was being disliked and was a little annoyed: "You, what do you want to do? You can just save this evil soul directly. You and I can work together as a team and jump into the sea of fire. Can you still solve it?"
Liu Ruxiang whispered to me: "In the morning, you saw them picking up the ancient weapons of Lao Shizi, saying that they were using them to calm down evil spirits. I told you, your master and I never do business at a loss."
"There are many evil souls here, and it would be perfect for my master to collect them and raise them as Yin soldiers to house and suppress evil spirits."
Liu Ruxiang asked me to open the wooden box, take out a mat from it, spread it out on the ground, and then invite me in turn to the portrait of the trance, the dried meat of the three animals, and the incense and candles.
After the altar was set up, Liu Ruxiang asked me to get another small porcelain jar the size of a fist from the box.
This is a small blue and white porcelain jar with some patterns painted on it. The general content is: many little people are killing each other with swords.
"This is the altar for raising soldiers. It will be enshrined at home in the future. Remember not to move it, otherwise it will be disturbed and it will be bad."
"In various folk teachings, soldiers and horses are basically raised. Soldiers and horses are used for many purposes. They can be used to calm evil spirits, fight magic to protect the body, and accumulate Yin virtue. Some people even raise soldiers and horses so that they can follow them after death and command a group of Yin soldiers. , Even in the underworld, he can still dominate and bring blessings."
"There are many ways for folk mages to drive soldiers and horses. Summoning souls to raise soldiers in places where there are many dead people is just one of them. They can also be inherited from the master. The master can use methods to pull out a part for the disciples who have left the master."
"Of course, there is another way. You don't have soldiers and horses yourself, but you can borrow troops from the Yin Temple (City God's Temple), but it requires a large number of animals for worship. Some City Gods are willing to give them, and some are not willing to give them, which is also more difficult. "
Liu Ruxiang talked about a lot of useful knowledge at once. I didn't understand some parts, so I immediately asked her: "Master, can I raise soldiers and horses?"
Liu Ruxiang thought for a while and replied: "You can raise it, but not now. I have to wait until you have completed your precepts and become a monk. I will just give it to you directly then."
My excitement was immediately doused by this basin of cold water.
"Don't take it too seriously. To put it bluntly, these things are actually souls. Whether it's the Taoist Thunder Technique or the Taoist Dalu, these evil things can be destroyed easily."
"There are also restrictions on raising soldiers and horses. How many soldiers and horses can be raised depends on each person's destiny. Some people can only raise a few, and some can raise thousands. However, the power of soldiers and horses depends on their finesse. Moreover, The Yin soldiers also need to provide food and grass, and they need to perform rituals and spells to provide food every day. At the end of the year, the soldiers and horses need to be dispersed, so that the Yin soldiers can go out, and they can not be recalled until the New Year is over."
I was stunned for a while. How come this Yin soldier is just like a human being and still needs to take a vacation?
Liu Ruxiang smiled: "It is originally the human soul."
After the chat ended, Liu Ruxiang grabbed a handful of red soil from the ground and slowly stuffed it into the blue and white porcelain soldier raising altar.
Wang Mingyin and Huang Weizhong stood on the edge of the lake, watching us prepare the execution ground below.
Wang Mingyin was a master of the Jiangdong sect. He now understood it and knew that Liu Ruxiang most likely wanted to recruit Yin soldiers. However, because he was not the core disciple of the family, he did not even have the skills to train Yin soldiers, so he could only think in his heart. Gritting his teeth secretly.
Soon, Liu Ruxiang's execution ground and altar were all decorated. Liu Ruxiang grabbed a large handful of lit incense and inserted it under the Jingguan to worship.
These dead people are, after all, the ancestors of Zhuang people.
Then, a bowl of rice was taken and placed under the altar. A small flag stick was inserted into the rice, and talismans and seals were placed on the side.
Find an open space and put a dustpan on it. Place five bowls and five pairs of chopsticks in the five major directions of east, west, south, north, and center. Place five slices of bacon and five lit incense sticks in the bowls.
Liu Ruxiang put on the master's robe and a martial arts mask. She held a jade slip in her left hand and a dagger in her right hand. She danced and sang scriptures.
This article is very familiar to me. I was reading it in Shi Gong's Classics a few days ago. It's called "The General Soldiers of the Five Caves".
After a while the dance was over, Liu Ruxiang took out the wild rice talisman and began to throw the wild rice talisman for divination.
Maybe many people have never seen what Fu Jiao looks like, so I will describe it to you. (Put the picture of the talisman in the comment area, or search it yourself)
There was a very popular TV series some time ago, in which a man named Gao Sheng used this kind of thing to do divination by throwing wild rice.
The overall development of our Shigongjiao was influenced by Taoism, and the universal magic weapon such as the talisman is basically similar, made from the roots of bamboo. During the Qinglong month and Qinglong day, dig out the roots of mature old bamboos.
When digging, you must leave a root that cannot be broken, and then make the root of the bamboo into a horn-like thing.
Liu Ruxiang threw wild rice balls to divine fortune according to the five directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, and after divination, he would eat the piece of bacon in the bowl of that direction.
At this time, I knew that the soldiers and horses in this direction were put away. It was not until all five directions were passed and Liu Ruxiang had eaten five slices of bacon that she removed the magic weapon and the magic field and put them away.
"Actually, there is still a step to raise soldiers and horses that has not been done, but time is tight now, and there are no old roosters on the mountain, so it is not too late to take them back to the bottom of the mountain to do it." Liu Ruxiang smiled and put away the small blue and white porcelain altar.
Seeing that the ceremony of adopting soldiers and horses was completed, Master Wang Mingyin walked down from the lakeside.
