the last priest

According to legend, Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world as the emperor. He used the world-famous Heshibi to make a jade seal, which is called the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.Later, this jade seal became the symbol of the emperor. Whoever holds the jade seal in his hand will be the real emperor. After several wars and baptisms, his whereabouts were unknown during the Song Dynasty.

This jade seal symbolizes the supreme power in the world and can command the world. It is also rumored that there is a similar thing in the underworld, which is called the "ghost seal".

"Ghost Seal": The symbol of the supreme power in the underworld, it can command all ghosts in the underworld, and all Yin soldiers and generals who see the "Ghost Seal" will follow their orders.According to legend, this ghost seal is in charge of Dongyue Emperor, who controls the period of life and death and rules the ghosts.This Dongyue Emperor is also called Taishan God. According to the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Mount Tai is located in the east, where the sun rises, so he controls life and death.The emperors of all dynasties, starting from the first emperor of Qin, had to climb Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and worship Dongyue Emperor, who is also the supreme god in the underworld.

As for the existence of such a god, no one knows. The Tianzheng Church where Cha Wenbin belongs also worships Emperor Dongyue. The so-called "Ghost Seal" is nothing but a legend to the world.Now, when he was told that the strange thing in his hand was the "ghost seal", he was indeed about to be stunned.

"If you don't tell me what the secret is, how can I unlock it?"

Xiao Baoya was silent for a while, and finally said: "Well, I don't know too much. This 'ghost seal' should have been obtained by people in the pre-Qin period, and the pre-Qin was able to be powerful because of this thing. A jade seal was put here, the reason should be to suppress an evil devil, and that devil should be buried in the mound in front of us. The first emperor got a Chuan Guoxie when he lost the ghost seal, in order to take it down "Ghost Seal", this devil took nine of our lives, but now we have to put back this "Ghost Seal" for only one reason: last time, one of our most important people followed you to Kunlun and had an accident. Putting back the 'Ghost Seal' and opening this ancient altar will fully restore him."

Cha Wenbin raised his eyebrows: "Kunlun who went with us? Who? Old Wang? Where is he?"

Xiao Baoya smiled slightly: "He will not invite you here. Mr. Cha, what happened after you went there is still a mystery, and even we are at a loss. All I know is to invite you. You come to open this altar, he said, only you can open it."

"Then who is he in your mouth?" He, could it be that person?That man who used to be in Fengdu?

"That's all I can say. He only told me that this 'ghost seal' needs to be worshiped with a person's blood. As for who this person is, I think it should be one of you. Don't everyone say Mogao One zhang, the height of the road is one zhang, Mr. Cha, the prerequisite for putting this jade seal in is to dig up this pile of soil first, it's up to you today!"

This pile of loess is indeed ugly. Hearing what he said, Cha Wenbin really found traces of digging in a corner on the east side.

"What about those people who died? Didn't you have nine, why is there only that 'Master Snake' here?"

"Master Snake and I ran to the entrance of the cave by luck, and the other eight died on the bridge you crossed. I don't know why people fell into the ditch and caught fire. They were all burned to death."

"Just dig, shit, what else can you jump out of?" Chaozi made a gesture and was about to move the mound, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "No, if you want to move this mound, you can't move it." It’s popular, what did you use to dig it back then?”

"Shovel, what else?"

"We should try digging with wood. Among the five elements, only wood can overcome soil. Since there is something under it, it will inevitably cause problems if people touch metal. Let's find two pieces of wood."

Chaozi found some pieces of sticks that were used to make caves in the past. It seemed that these things were quite strong.

There is no water here all year round. According to the theory, the soil should be very dry. I didn’t want to pry a few sticks and found that there was still a little moisture in the soil. When the soil under the skin was peeled off, there was that kind of wet soil containing moisture.

Cha Wenbin felt that something was wrong and quickly stopped and said: "Stop first, why does this soil look so fresh, it's just like being buried."

"Never mind him, dig it out first, if something goes wrong, brother Wen Bin, just burn him a talisman."

"I'm afraid it's a wet thing inside." Cha Wenbin was a little worried, if there was water in the coffin, it would be easy to change.Because water is the origin of foreign things, with this thing, the possibility of accidents will be greater.

"Look! What a hell, that wooden stick is alive!" Dashan called.Just now, when Zha Wenbin yelled to stop, he inserted a wooden stick he used for work into the soil, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that a green sprout came out of the wooden stick.

The tender shoot grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were still a few tender leaves that were curled up, and the rotten wood actually came alive!

"A dead tree comes in spring! Could it be that this soil has the function of bringing the dead back to life?" A piece of wood that was about to rot had been placed on the ground for thousands of years, but once it was inserted into the mound, it was full of vitality.This scene, not to mention Cha Wenbin, had never been seen by anyone.

Since the wood can live, what about the people buried in it?Zha Wenbin didn't even dare to think about it now. There is such a miraculous thing in the world. Is it because the soil is unusual or this place is unusual.

They immediately took another stick and stuck it in. After a quarter of an hour, the stick sprouted buds and opened leaves.

When they went to pull up the two sticks again, they found that the roots of the sticks had started to come out from the bottom of the sticks. They believed that within a day, the two sticks would really become towering trees!

Xiao Baoya asked: "It must be a ghost! Mr. Cha, can you do something?"

"It doesn't have to be a ghost. There is only one thing in the world that can make a dead tree spring again, and that is the legendary one: Houtu!"

"What is Houtu?"

"I'm also guessing, I'm not sure. The ghost seal that Xiao Baoya mentioned belongs to Emperor Dongyue. He is the god emperor in charge of the Yin Division, and there is also a god in charge of Yin and Yang, called 'Hou Tu', who can give birth to all things. Also known as the mother of the earth. Emulating the heavens and emulating the earth, the emperor's land is only the fourth god among the "four emperors" of our Taoist gods. "Records that she was born of the great god Gong Gong. It is said that a cup of loess in her hand can make the dead wood spring. The heavenly emperors rule the world together. In the Five Elements Palace, the earth is the center, and she is also the center god."

Cha Wenbin continued: "Although I believe in Taoism, I don't know whether the origin of these myths and legends is true, but since there is such a saying, it is very likely that there really is a kind of soil that can make dead trees rejuvenate. Yin soil is formed by the collection of Yin Qi in the world."

According to the "Sou Shen Daquan of the Origin and Development of the Three Religions" records: the heaven and the earth are not divided, but are mixed into one; the first judgment of the second instrument, the positioning of yin and yang, so the clear qi rises and becomes the yang sky, and the turbid qi descends to become the yin land.For those who are in the shade, the five yellows multiply together, and the five qi condense, which can make the dead trees spring.

"What should I do?"

"Since this is the case, if someone is really buried in it, I'm afraid it's an immortal body. You should guard it first, and I'll find out after I try it." As he spoke, Cha Wenbin spread out a large bunch of things from his pocket, and put the things north and south Put candles and incense sticks in the positions of the four shrines, and then take out gold utensils, clear water, charcoal fire and small pieces of wood and place them in front of the god cards in the four directions.

The god card was wrapped in black paper, and on it were the names of the four true gods written in the juice made from white glutinous rice. Only a blank god card was inserted on the pile of loess.

Take out five copper coins to wrap the wicks of the candles, and then light them together. I saw that the copper coins on four of the candles melted and lowered their heights as the flame burned, but they were always at the top of the candles. The candle on the loess will fall automatically as soon as the copper coin is burned.

Cha Wenbin picked up the dropped copper coin, tied it with a red thread, and then gently inserted it into the loess pile. The other end of the thread was tied to his right middle finger. It stopped beating.Zha Wenbin pulled the red thread abruptly, and the copper coin flew out like flying. When it landed, the copper coin had been broken from the middle and became two halves.

"There is a master, alive, big murderer!"

The simple six words suddenly brought the atmosphere of the scene to freezing point. . . . . .
