Bad People Started as an Undercover Xuanming Sect

Chapter 38 Chapter 38
Since ancient times, where there is life, there is death, and where there is death, there is fear.

Out of the fear of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and the pursuit of power, money, sex, and desire.

Human beings often do some unimaginable and evil behaviors and give them supernatural explanations.

This type of behavior is commonly referred to as "folk magic", that is, witchcraft.

Among them, the vast majority of "sorcery" can be classified into nine categories: summoning souls, holding spirits, exorcising evil spirits, nightmare towns, lowering heads, witchcraft, illusions, qigong, and life extension.

[-]. Evocation.The so-called summoning the soul, as the name suggests, means to summon the soul.

This soul can be the dead soul of a dead person; it can also refer to the soul thrown away by a living person after being frightened.

The former is a funeral ceremony with a long history in China. China has always paid attention to the return of fallen leaves to their roots. People worry that the souls of those who died far away in foreign lands will not find a way back, so they will use the "spirit calling" ceremony after their death to bring the dead souls back.

There is a saying in ancient books: "Make people go up to the north of the house, greet the soul of the dead, and make them return to their bodies."

Yiyun: "In the ancient times, when a person died, they were made to use their top clothes to ascend to the house, and they walked to the north and called: "Gao, a certain recovery." Then they used their clothes three times and lowered them to cover the corpse."

Calling souls can be divided into "recruiting souls" and "calling dead souls".

Recruiting dead souls, as the name suggests, is to attract the dead souls of the dead.

And this brings another problem: because people have a natural fear of ghosts, ghosts have always been considered inauspicious in China, and contact with ghosts will bring disease, bad luck and death to people.

Even the dead souls of relatives are no exception.

The folk custom of "Hui Sha" reflects people's fear of ghosts.

Huisha means returning to the soul, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of "first seven", which means that the soul will return home seven days after death.In order to avoid the infestation of ghosts, people invented various rituals to prevent the dead from returning to the residence of the living.

The shaman achieves this purpose through some kind of psychic medium, communicates with the dead, and brings the dead back to life.

"Enrolling souls" means "calling out souls for living people". "Calling dead souls".

The "soul" of traditional culture generally refers to a healthy, growing and positive "yang energy".

Soul, Yang Qi also. —— "Shuowen"

Life begins to turn into a soul, and since the soul is born, it is called the soul. —— "Zuo Zhuan Seven Years of Zhao Gong"

Witchcraft is weird and unpredictable, and all kinds of records are recorded in the books, which is creepy to watch.

Zhang Yuanqing has spent the past five days studying the art of Twelve Caves Witch Gu, which has benefited him a lot.

Among them, he also got the essentials of witchcraft and incantations, and he just needs to master them in the future.

Outside the mountain hut where Zhang Yuanqing lived, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

"Why, what kind of wind early in the morning brought the Master of Eleven Cave here?"

A hearty laugh came from outside the room, saying: "Sir, you have good ears, I admire you."

The corner of Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand. The wind surged, and the door of the room was blown open by a gust of air.

The Eleven Cave Master walked in slowly with a tall and straight figure in a black robe.

Zhang Yuanqing pointed, and on the table seven feet away, the lid of the teapot slipped silently, and the roasted tea leaves fell down.

Then there is a transparent arc, and the water gurgles into the lake.

Zhang Yuanqing sent out his kung fu from the air, his true energy rose, and the tea boiled within a few breaths.

A ray of fragrant breath floated out, lively and fragrant.

Eleven Cave Master's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help admiring: "Good internal strength."

"Eleventh Cave Master didn't stay in your cave, but came to my humble house instead. What's the important thing here?"

Looking at the secret method of the ancient scroll, Zhang Yuanqing picked up a tea bowl to drink with the Master of Eleven Caves, and said slowly.

"I'm here for something important. Master Dadong ordered me to send all the rare books and fragments of Twelve Caves, as well as the treasured secrets of witchcraft."

Saying that, Master Eleven Cave put a heavy package in front of Zhang Yuanqing.

The linen cloth was untied, revealing the decayed and blackened bamboo slips.

A corrupt and rotten smell rushed over.

"These bamboo slips are old and not easy to preserve, but the copied and engraved books are also crooked and the scriptures are incomplete, so we can only watch these ancient techniques and secrets being lost."

"Fortunately, the gentleman is here, it can be said that he has done us a great favor in Shierdong."

"Please accept my worship."

Eleven Cave Master stood up and respectfully thanked Zhang Yuanqing.

For Shierdong, inheritance is second only to the iron law of avoiding the world. The disaster that almost wiped out the entire Raojiang area 300 years ago has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the ancestors of Shierdong.

In order to protect the tens of millions of people in Raojiang, Twelve Caves can only escape from the world, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

The Twelve Caves have been passed down from generation to generation for 300 years, and there is no thought of birth in my heart, only the legacy of the ancestors has become the top priority.

Others can't imagine how much benefit Zhang Yuanqing has brought to Shierdong, probably second only to Li Chunfeng's life-saving grace back then.

"Why does a man have to go through so many twists and turns, if the master of the cave doesn't dislike it, why don't you have a drink?"

"Okay, I'll get it."

The two hit it off and hated it too late to meet each other.

A drink lasted until late at night.

----

one year later.

Zhang Yuanqing came to the Twelve Caves General Altar again with a manuscript in his hand.

A dark room, flickering on and off.

Twelve futons, twelve cave masters.

Zhang Yuanqing sent the manuscript and said, "Everyone, it's done."

Master Dadong was overjoyed when he heard the words, spread his five fingers, and sucked the manuscript in Zhang Yuanqing's hand with his true energy.

"Nailhead Seven Arrows Book? Plague array?"

The Book of Seven Arrows with Nailheads is a manuscript written by a strange person in ancient times, which records the strange art of "Seven Arrows with Nailheads", which is actually the most terrifying and vicious forbidden art, killing people invisible.

In the witchcraft secret method, first, the human form is printed with a bronze mirror, and then there is a book with the seal formula.

Set up a battalion, set up a platform in the battalion, make a grass man with the name of the enemy written on his body, a lamp on his head, a lamp on his feet, fight with his feet, burn the seal of the letter, take a bronze mirror and stand on the grass man three times. Chi place, worship three times a day, a total of seven days.

After 21 days, the enemy's three souls and seven souls will be scattered. At this time, if you shoot an arrow at the grass man, if you shoot the enemy's body, the grass man will spurt blood.

On the first day, the arrow shoots the head of the grass, which destroys the spirituality.

Nailing the left and right hands in two or three days broke the two veins of Qiankun.

Nail the left and right feet for four or five days to cut off the vitality of the ground.

The navel is nailed on the sixth day, and if it is broken, it will go to the inner government.

Nail the heart for seven days and take people's lives.

Vicious and terrifying, killing people invisible, completely severing vitality.

The Plague Formation is the unique secret method of the ancient Poison Masters. Once it is used, the plague and disease will rage, and the victims will die in a miserable state, festering all over, and it can cause fatal damage in a wide range.
With this, the second art of voodoo reappeared in the world after a thousand years.

Zhang Yuanqing said: "These two techniques are powerful, extremely vicious, and harmful to peace. I hope Twelve Caves can be put on the shelf, so as not to be learned by people with ulterior motives."

Master Dadong's expression turned serious, and he bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuanqing: "I would like to obey your words."
