Zhao Zihao then told me in detail about the Feng Shui Bureau of Ganghui Plaza [Jie Ming Tang] and the Bagua Ancient Well deep inside the place.
I didn't expect that the truth inside would be so complicated and shocking...
The story starts from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, 1,800 years ago.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, warlords were fighting, the people were in dire straits, and nine out of ten houses were empty.
The entire population of China has dropped by 90%!
There is a poem that says: White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles. One of the hundreds of things left behind by the living people will break people's hearts just thinking about it.
It shows the tragic scene of that era.
In such troubled times, the court has become a complete decoration, luck has completely disappeared, and the way of heaven is in chaos. It is a time when demons and monsters run rampant and evil cultivators emerge in endlessly.
After all, without the control of the imperial court, the decent monks each have their own masters and are busy fighting for the world...
Who has time to take care of ordinary people?
Even if the demon eats an entire village and town, and the evil cultivator sacrifices hundreds or even thousands of people to gain power, this is a situation that would never be allowed in the world in normal times. In the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, it was just daily life.
As for the area where the current international metropolis Shencheng is located, at that time, it was just an uninhabited wilderness.
Even most of the urban area east of Shanghai is still submerged in the sea!
After all, East China is an alluvial plain of silt, and geologically speaking, the land formation time is very short.
During the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, demons and ghosts were rampant in Shencheng.
Not long after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the second year of Chiwu after the founding of the Soochow Kingdom, a mysterious monk with extremely profound Buddhist teachings and very powerful power came to Wu County in Soochow - this is actually the place where the Sun family made its fortune.
Sun Quan's wife, Queen Pan, believed in Buddhism and read Buddhist classics every day. When I heard that an eminent monk had come to Soochow, I immediately went out of the palace to look for him.
After finding the mysterious eminent monk, he not only treated him with courtesy, but also expressed his intention to build a temple for the eminent monk.
In fact, at that time, Buddhism had just been introduced to China for more than a hundred years, and its influence was not yet strong. Even an eminent monk would be very grateful to receive such courtesy and love from a queen of a dynasty.
So he expressed his willingness to help eliminate all the demons and ghosts in the core area ruled by Soochow and restore peace to the country of Wu!
This mysterious eminent monk walked in the area known today as "Jiangnan" or "Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai" and began to help the Wu Kingdom clean up demons and ghosts.
It took about three years to clean up the core of the area ruled by Wu State relatively cleanly.
Only the last and most powerful monster is left - a very powerful evil dragon!
This evil dragon did not gradually form from rivers and lakes, but came from the East China Sea.
The eminent monk once speculated that it was probably a highly venomous sea snake that turned into a poisonous dragon by chance. Therefore, it is much more powerful than ordinary dragons.
It is huge in size and very powerful. The poisonous mist it spits out can not only easily kill hundreds or thousands of people, but can also make the land barren of grass and even cause stones to corrode and melt!
There are also all kinds of strange and strange magic that make people hard to guard against.
The poisonous dragon is cruel and likes to eat people. They often wander from the sea to villages and towns along the coast, eating people wantonly. It gave the Soochow court a great headache!
Before the mysterious monk arrived, the Soochow court had actually issued a reward order to recruit capable people to conquer this poisonous dragon.
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and in total, there are more than a dozen monks who are known as strong ones. It’s just that I basically just brought food and meals to the poisonous dragon...
Until this mysterious monk appeared!
He fought with the ferocious evil poisonous dragon for three days and three nights. Both sides chased each other, fighting and running, and the fight was back and forth.
They fought all the way to the present Shencheng area - at that time it was a small fishing village in Wu County under the jurisdiction of the Yangzhou Governor's Department.
Here, the mysterious monk finally seized the opportunity, smashed the magic weapon even though he was injured, crazily increased his power, and gave the evil poisonous dragon a crucial blow!
It was this blow that severely wounded the poisonous dragon to the point of death, completely losing its combat effectiveness. He could only crawl in the grass, unable to move.
However, the mysterious monk himself does not have enough mana to kill this poisonous dragon!
He has also considered whether to use the power of the imperial court to help?
But I felt that if this happened, many innocent soldiers would definitely die.
What's more, when he fought with this cruel poisonous dragon, there was no human habitation for more than ten miles. If you go to move the reinforcements yourself, it is very likely that the poisonous dragon will take the opportunity to escape or regain its strength.
Then, everything will be in vain!
In desperation, the mysterious monk had no choice but to seal the poisonous dragon first.
Use Buddhist formations to slowly grind it to death! Or wait until your injury recovers before taking a long-term approach.
As a result, the mysterious monk spent his remaining power - this was actually burning his vitality and consuming his soul!
But there is a saying that a scholar will die for his confidant. Although he is not a "literary official" but a monk, his state of mind is similar.
The queen of Wu State gave him such an opportunity, so of course he would reciprocate the favor and help Wu State get rid of this last evildoer!
So, after sealing the evil poisonous dragon, he told Queen Pan to build a pagoda at the place where the poisonous dragon was sealed to strengthen its seal. In order to avoid trouble if the poisonous dragon breaks out of the seal while he is recovering from his injuries.
It was possible to suppress it again. After all, the evil poisonous dragon must have continued to weaken in the sealing formation, while he was constantly recuperating and getting stronger.
But what the mysterious monk never expected was that he underestimated the poisonous dragon!
This venomous snake in the sea has extraordinary venom and has always been a nightmare for coastal fishermen. After cultivating to become a dragon, the toxicity is so strong that it is simply unbelievable!
Although the mysterious monk had profound Buddhist teachings and profound magical powers, he had never lived by the sea. It may be mistaken to compare the venomousness of venomous snakes on land and in the mountains to venomous snakes in the sea.
So in the final battle, there was a little misjudgment. This led to him misjudging the severity of his injury - instead of slowly improving and recovering, it actually worsened day by day.
More than a year later, the mana has weakened to less than half of normal conditions!
At this moment, the mysterious eminent monk knew. He may have made a mistake, and his life will be short.
This made him very distressed - after all, if he opened the seal again at this time, he was not sure that he would be able to kill the evil poisonous dragon.
If the other party escapes, then everything will be over! With no choice but to continue to maintain the power of the sealed pagoda.
But the biggest problem is that if he dies, just relying on a sealed pagoda is no longer safe...
Then, he came up with an idea.
