The beginning of all this begins with the Taishan Zen Ceremony held by Song Shenzong!
In fact, long before "The Romance of the Yang Family" and other books were written, the stories of the Yang family generals had been circulated in the Taishan area. The Ming Dynasty scholar Lu Cai said in "Yang Liulang", Volume 1 of "Lan Sheng Ji Tan": "Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty granted the title of Mount Tai, and the military minister Yang Liu Lang saw a woman in red clothes coming out of the Lingyan cave. She came forward with a stick of incense. Yang drew an arrow and shot it before disappearing. He took the incense and presented it to the emperor. The emperor commended her and ordered Liu Lang to patrol the land. Jingli Temple was built to represent the miracle. There was a large number of pine trees. During the Hongzhi period of this dynasty, the prefect sent an old man to pay for it. The old man was injured by a tiger and his home was burned. Today there is the tomb of Yang Liulang at the foot of the mountain."
According to Lu Cai's visit to Mount Tai in the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, there is a volume of "Taishan Manuscript", which records his chants on Mount Tai, and ten volumes of "Records of Visiting Scenic Spots", which records many anecdotes and legends he heard on Mount Tai. "Yang Liulang" is one of the anecdotes collected from Mount Tai.
It can be seen from this that the story and the appearance of the Yang family generals in Taishan are closely related to the major event in the early Northern Song Dynasty - "The Book of Heaven Fengzen".
In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty held a grand Zen ceremony in order to wash away the humiliation of the "Chanyuan Alliance" and declared that he would enshrine Fu Rui, the "Book of Heaven".
In October of that year, Song Shenzong granted Mount Tai the title of the first mountain of the Zen Society!
In that major case at that time, Yang Yanzhao was the bodyguard who accompanied Song Shenzong to Fengchan. It was at that time that Senior Yang met someone!
Rather than saying that he is a person, it is more straightforward to say that he is a god!
In the above story, there is a description of this incident, but the description is not complete. It is said that Yang Yanzhao once met a person, and the two of them talked in secret for a long time on Mount Tai!
As for who that person is, Senior Yang himself doesn't know. He can only vaguely tell that it is an old man, and he has always called himself after Mount Tai, so let's call him Old Man Taishan!
After meeting Senior Yang, Old Man Taishan explained to him the secret of this wordless monument!
In this stele is a monster that he sealed a thousand years ago, and he also used some methods to refine this stele to suppress the monsters, which are the realm demons and wordless sky stele that we see now. !
The old man once said that the demons are born from heaven and earth. As long as there is evil in people's hearts, the demons will be immortal. Therefore, they can only be suppressed, but they cannot be completely eradicated!
But the seal is not omnipotent. Sooner or later, it will be broken. And the day the seal is broken, the demon may be born again. Therefore, he needs a person of high moral character to station in this monument to suppress it. With the Realm Demon's Formation Eyes, if the Realm Demon moves abnormally, you can detect it immediately and take measures!
Since the demons are the demons of the human heart, those with unstable minds will never be able to take on this important task. After careful consideration, the old man felt that Senior Yang was the best choice!
When Senior Yang learned about the dangers of this monster, he immediately decided that he was willing to take over and suppress this monster!
Therefore, after Senior Yang died, his soul did not fall into reincarnation, but was led by the old man to come to this stone monument!
The space inside the stone tablet was refined by the old man, so it contains a powerful force that can suppress the realm demons. Under the influence of this powerful force, the soul of Senior Yang has become stronger and stronger. Over the centuries, In a matter of seconds, it reached the level of gods and ghosts!
Senior Yang once asked the old man, since you know that this realm demon will one day escape from the seal, and the realm demon is so dangerous, why don't you come to suppress him personally?
The old man just smiled and said that he had more important things to do, and in comparison, the demon seemed not so important!
At that time, Senior Yang was like a curious child who wanted to ask about everything, but the old man just smiled and stopped talking.
I just leave one sentence, if the matter reaches a situation that cannot be handled, that is to say, it is difficult for Senior Yang to suppress the demon on his own, and when that happens, someone will come to help him.
Therefore, when the realm demon was about to break the seal, Senior Yang had been waiting for someone to help him. That's why Duke Bingling came later!
At this point, Senior Yang's story is basically clear. All the key points come from that mysterious old man!
Senior Yang's hundred-year guarding, Duke Bingling's spiritual knowledge coming from afar, everything was arranged by that old man!
He has the ability to suppress demons and has insight into the future. Who is this old man?
And at this moment, my eyes suddenly opened, and wherever I looked, I still saw Senior Yang’s warm face.
"Little guy, this is my story. I hope you can remember it, because after today, Yang Yanzhao may never be seen again!"
Senior Yang gently patted my shoulder and said.
At this moment, I no longer knew what to say, so I could only bow and salute: "Senior, I will never forget it!"
After hearing my answer, Senior Yang nodded, then stood up suddenly, waved the spear in his hand, and took another step forward!
"Bing Linggong! I'm afraid we have to fight our last, but can we still fight?"
Senior Yang laughed and said boldly!
Lord Bingling also smiled heartily: "Why not? I only have one spiritual consciousness left, so what do I have to fear? Fighting with all my strength is my last glory! It's nothing more than a dead end!"
After hearing the heroic words of the two seniors, the demon laughed loudly from the side, and the laughter was full of sarcasm!
"I'm afraid you know better than I do whether it's a fish that dies and a net breaks the net, or an egg that strikes a stone." The demon laughed.
Senior Yang disagreed, raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Oh?? You have to pay the price for being arrogant for no reason!"
"I forgot to tell you, the one who sealed you was afraid that you would become a monster, so he left a big gift for you!!"
