My name is Zhang Ruoxu, my Taoist name is Yangsheng, I am a Feng Shui Yin and Yang master, and I make a living in the Jidao Tianshi Pavilion.
There are all kinds of wonders in the world. The undead human beings and ghosts are all around us. I have traveled with my master for more than ten years. I have seen a lot and have experienced a lot. I have killed demons, ghosts, and spirits...
After so many years of slaying demons and defending the Tao, I always saw many strange events. The evil demons I offended were too many, which naturally affected the Yangshou. The master faced a great disaster just after he turned fifty.
The origin of my Taoist name is quite sophisticated. My horoscope is pure Yang, and the five elements of wood are the most prosperous. Therefore, the master gave me the Taoist name Yang Sheng, which is also connected to Yang Sheng. He made a divination for me and said that I have a Yang destiny that has not been seen in thousands of years. I am evil. nemesis.
When I was 22 years old, my master was just 50 years old. On the Double Ninth Festival of that year, he calculated that he had been a Feng Shui Onmyoji master for thirty years.
After the master calculated it, he couldn't help but frown and sighed helplessly.
Seeing the melancholy look on the master's face, I asked curiously, but he did not answer directly. He just shook his head helplessly and said: "Fate, it's all fate, you can't control it at all."
Not long after, he fell seriously ill and became paralyzed and twitched from time to time, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
The master's illness is very strange. Every full moon night, he has a strange look on his face, makes evil sounds, and is very afraid of people.
It is the master's abnormal behavior that makes me puzzled. His cultivation is so profound that no matter how powerful the evil spirit is, he will retreat. Who is the monster that bothers him? It can torture him into such an embarrassing state. .
I always wanted to do something for the master, but he always refused flatly and said that it was his destiny.
In this way, the master has been fighting the disease for several months, and I can only worry.
After the full night of the 16th month of every month, he would become more haggard, his eye sockets would become deeper and deeper, and his spirit would become more and more depressed. His January would be like an ordinary person's year, aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After every full moon night, when I go to the master's practice room, I will find that the facial features of the demon statue hanging on the wall will be driven into peach wood nails, first the eyes, then the ears, then the nose, mouth, and now Even a big peach wood nail was driven into his heart.
Five full months have passed, and the green-faced and fanged monster in the portrait has been inserted into eight wooden nails of different sizes, and the green light under the portrait has become increasingly faint.
At first, I didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until I turned to page 440 of the Five Elements Dharma Book - the sealing of the five senses, that I realized that the master was locking the monster at the cost of his own life.
However, it was all too late. The last peach wood nail was driven in, and the master had no chance of survival. I could only look at the master with tears in my eyes, enveloped in an indescribable sorrow, and I could only feel sorry for the master.
"Yang Sheng, don't be sad. This is the master's job to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Come and help the master complete the last ritual."
In this way, I arranged everything according to the master's instructions, and soon it was the night of the sixth month.
That night, the master who was sitting on the futon meditating called me over again and asked what time it was.
"It's almost Haishi!" I replied.
The master looked at the wind chime hanging in front of the door again, and suddenly a strong wind rushed in...
"Thirty years, thirty years, and what is supposed to come has finally come." The master's eyes suddenly glowed with energy, and he sat majestically with a fly whisk in hand.
"Disciple, light the seven-star magic lamp."
I responded and lit the seven wicks filled with tung oil in sequence.
The master shook the whisk twice, started to form seals with his hands, and silently recited the mantra: "The sky is broken and the earth is missing, the five divine methods, the soul escapes the earth spirit, and the five layers of locks."
"One lock, no eyes; two locks, no ears; three locks, no nose; four locks, no mouth; five locks, no heart."
After saying this, the master struck the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and heart with his hands in the seal. A ball of black energy emerged out of thin air and was inhaled by the master, and then a mouthful of bright red blood spurted out.
"Master!" I was anxious and rushed forward immediately. As soon as I touched his shoulder, he was bounced away by a strong force. My eyes went dark and I didn't know anything.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight. I sat up with a convulsion, rushed to the master who was meditating with his head down, and started shaking desperately. As I was shaking, I was surprised to find that the monster in the painting on the wall had disappeared. Only eight holes were left.
The master finally woke up. He was very haggard. It was obvious that he was exhausted from fighting the monster last night.
"Master, are you okay?" I asked caringly.
When the master saw it was me, he pointed in front of me and asked me to kneel down and listen to the instruction.
"Yang Sheng, master's end is approaching and he won't live long."
My eyes turned red and tears could not help but fall.
"Listen, from now on, you are the head of the Jida Sect." The master's voice suddenly became strong, and he handed me the Bagua Purple Jade hanging around his neck.
"Now I have three things and three tips to tell you. You must remember them."
"First, I don't have more than three hours left to live. I will have my soul set up at noon the day after tomorrow. All guests who come will have to offer a stick of incense, but the gifts must not be accepted. Do you understand that all guests must leave at noon?"
"Yes, master." I nodded quickly and agreed.
"Second, at midnight tomorrow, a green ghost will come to pick up my soul. When the time comes, you must hold the ghost pointing needle and follow the direction of the ghost pointing needle for eight hundred and eighty steps. No one step more, no less. Then dig a foot into the ground, dig out the bluestone tablet inside, transport it back, find someone to engrave the tablet for me, and then you have to dip my inscription in the blood of a boy's chicken."
"Yes, master." I didn't dare to hesitate at all.
"When digging bluestone, there will be illusions. Don't be affected. No matter what you see, don't pay attention. Just dig bluestone with peace of mind, because the monster under the bluestone is not a good thing. Remember."
Although I was a little confused, the master's words were the truth, so I had no choice but to agree.
"By the way, these are three tips. You open the first tip bag after I die. I'm afraid that your yang energy will not be able to suppress evil spirits. This tip bag will help you."
I nodded, and the master coughed and continued, "The second tip is about your other four senior brothers. You five senior brothers are all the strongest people in the five elements. Together, we are invincible."
"Open the third bag of tips for me now."
Following the master's instructions, I opened the third bag of tips.
"The blue stone tablet leads to the ten halls of Yama, and the coffin is raised on the spot. The coffin is buried in the Gen Tomb of Aofeng, and there is peace."
I was stunned after reading the tips and couldn't help but admire, "How great, master. Even Yama, the underworld, found a tomb for you and went on a ghost mission to carry your coffin."
The master did not respond, and continued: "The last thing, after I die, you must carry forward the Jidao Tianshi Pavilion. The master has another regret, and that is the acupuncture point of the Ren family, which was selected by the master to prosper the descendants. , but the luck of the Ren family has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. From now on, when the descendants of the Ren family come to you, they must do their best to help."
I nodded seriously, not daring to be careless.
The master smiled and asked me, "Disciple, do you remember this in your heart?"
"The master's words are precious, and the apprentice will keep them in mind."
Only then did the master smile knowingly, "Then I will have no regrets in dying for my master."
But at this time, I threw out a question, "Master, apprentice, there is still something unclear. Although you can suppress the monsters by using the five senses seal, it will also make you escape into the realm of transformation and cannot reincarnate. Doing so will cost you too much." Bar?"
"Hey, as I said before, this is fate."
"Disciple, you have to remember that when I go to the funeral, just hold the bluestone tombstone and walk on the road to Gen's position in Aoshan. No matter what happens on the road, don't look back and don't pay attention. Remember! Remember!"
"Yes, master." I kowtowed to the master.
After saying that, the master took a long breath and slowly closed his eyes.
"Master." I called him softly, but he didn't respond.
I put my hand in front of his nose. He was no longer breathing and his body was completely cold.
Master, he has passed away!
At this time, the green lamp on the table behind the master went out, and the eight-hole painting also spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes in a moment.
