My years as a fortune teller

I don't know why Uncle Xuanhe didn't go directly to Hunan, but first went to Wudang Mountain in Danjiangkou City, Hubei.I have no objection to this, nor can I offer an opinion.Wudang Mountain is originally a famous Taoist mountain, and it is not uncommon to worship Emperor Zhenwu after coming here.

Look at the Fengshui Qierfeng of Wudang Mountain competing to worship Tianzhu Peak, the highest in Wudang, forming a mountain of worshiping mist in thousands of mountains.In addition, it is bounded by the Du River in the west, the Nan River in the east, the Han River in the north, and the Jundian River and Manan River in the south.The scenery here is unforgettable.

When you arrive at Wudang Mountain, you have to mention the Taoism here. The name "Wudang" first appeared in the "Book of Han".After the Ming Dynasty, due to the ruler's respect for Zhenwu, Wudang Mountain was named "Taiyue" and "Xuanyue", and became "No.1 Mountain in the World".

In the past dynasties, there are countless people who admired the mountains, pilgrims, and lived in seclusion. According to legend, Yinxi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ma Mingsheng and Yin Changsheng in the Han Dynasty, Tao Hongjing and Xie Yun in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yao Jian, Sun Simiao, and Lu Dongbin in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Tuan in the Five Dynasties, and Song Dynasty Hu Daoxuan, Ye Xizhen, Liu Daoming and Zhang Shouqing in the Yuan Dynasty all practiced here.In particular, Zhang Sanfeng of the Ming Dynasty made Wudang Mountain famous both at home and abroad.

Before the Qing Dynasty, the ancients' respect for Emperor Zhenwu reached a kind of fanaticism.Many devout believers fell off the cliff while burning incense on the two-meter-long dragon head of Nanyan Palace in Wudang Mountain.Even in the Qing Dynasty, local officials had to explicitly prohibit such fanatical religious behavior.

Moreover, at that time, believers in Wudang Mountain had a special form of worshiping Zhenwu, which was called suffering and offering incense.The pilgrims use a five-inch long metal sword to pierce through the ribs, cheeks or collarbone, and then endure great pain, climb the Baili Shinto, and go to the Golden Temple to seek God's mercy and blessing.No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said in "To Xu Shoushang" on August 1918, "I used to say that the root of China lies in Taoism."

Follow Uncle Xuanhe and enter Wudang along Guanshan Town, Danjiangkou City, at the south foot of Wudang Mountain, which is commonly known as the back garden of Wudang Mountain.It is not only picturesque, but also has a primitive and mysterious atmosphere.

Don't look at Master Xuanhe who is almost a hundred years old, going up the mountain is the same as walking on the flat ground.He told me as he walked, "Little fat man, don't look at the densely packed Taoist temples in Wudang Mountain. Now the Quanzhen sect is the main one. Many years ago, this place was the authentic Sanshan dripping blood generation."

"Oh!" I panted heavily, and said, "Master Uncle, I know this. Master mentioned it to me when I came last time. It seems to be the No. 30th generation Zhang Jixian, who taught the Dharma to Sa Shoujian. Dharma inheritance from the time of the patriarch."

"En!" Master Xuanhe replied, "Sa Zu is the first generation successor, but there is another successor who is Wang Shouxin. After that, the Sanshan Dropping Blood Sect became the altar of Zhengyiwan Dharma. Shenxiao and Qingwei The two factions also passed on this."

I nodded and said to Uncle Xuanhe: "The last time I accompanied Master to Longhu Mountain to pay homage to Heavenly Master Zhang, I remember that Uncle Yu Da showed us a handwritten classic "Tiantan Yuge". It clearly recorded From the Sanshan Dropping Blood Sect, the order of inheritance."

"Hey!" Uncle Xuan He glanced at me, and then said: "Three generations of celestial master Zhang Hong has a relationship with the ancestors of our school, so Shi Zu of my school added a lot of words to this."

"No way!" I looked at Master Xuanhe in front of me in surprise, and said, "Then Master is also the inheritance of the Sanshan Dropping Blood Sect? I thought the inheritance of the Sanshan Dropping Blood Sect is now over." !"

Uncle Xuanhe smiled, and said to me: "This is recorded in "Reprinting Xuanmiao Guanzhi", Yuliu's lineage, Beizong Sanshan Dropping Blood School, called Wudang, Heming, Dragon and Tiger, Xuanmiaoguan The character Sanshantong... When it comes to your descendants, most of them have lost some inheritance due to war or other reasons. Either add it and continue to inherit it, or inherit it on the original basis."

I nodded, and I saw Master Xuanhe looking at the Golden Palace above and said: "Come on, little fat man, we are going to have dinner after worshiping Emperor Zhenwu. Today I will take you to an old friend and try it." Vegetarian cabbage dumplings."

"Really!" Hearing what the uncle said, I couldn't help but burst into tears.I haven't suffered much from following my uncle, but I'm much more restrained when I eat.They are not allowed to eat this or that along the way.If we followed Master and Teacher, such a situation would never happen.

After half a day of struggle, we finally arrived at the Golden Palace.The Golden Palace is located on the top of Wutianzhu Peak at an altitude of 1612 meters. It was built in the 14th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1416 AD).It is three rooms deep, 5.54 meters high, 4.4 meters long, and 3.15 meters wide, all made of copper and gilt.It is a rare copper architectural masterpiece in the world.

Looking at this hall made of pure copper, I couldn't help sticking out my tongue.In the hall, there is an altar in front of the screen on the back wall, a seated statue of Emperor Zhenwu, a golden boy holding a book on the left, a jade girl Duanbao on the right, two generals of water and fire, holding flags and holding swords to guard the hatchback.Under the altar, there is a statue of Xuanwu, which is a combination of Jinwan.On the top of the altar hangs a goldsmith's forehead, on which the four characters "golden light and wonderful appearance" are cast in the handwriting of Aixinjueluo Xuanye, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty.

After Master Xuanhe sighed, he took three sticks of incense from the incense table.I also hurriedly took three sticks of incense, and imitated Master Xuanhe's way to worship Emperor Zhenwu together.

After paying homage to Emperor Zhenwu, Uncle Xuanhe and I withdrew and said, "When I was still in my teens, I came here once with Master. In a blink of an eye, I will be old. !"

After I finished speaking, I didn't know how to comfort Master Xuanhe for a while.So he whispered: "Uncle, shall we continue to worship in other halls, or go directly to one of your friends?"

Uncle Xuanhe smiled and said: "Go to one of my friends first, and then talk about it after eating. We are not here for a day, we have enough time. I will definitely take you to a few more places and visit some seniors." Senior."

"Okay!" It's my favorite thing to visit seniors, so I said with a smile, "It's better to take me to visit some high places, so that I can learn something." Uncle Xuanhe smiled and didn't answer.

After four days in Wudang Mountains, we set out for Hunan.When we arrived in Hunan, we went to Nanyue Hengshan successively. According to the "Star Book", Nanyue Hengshan is the corresponding star (the star of the night, and the star is in charge of the life of the people in the world. Therefore, it was also called Shouyue Hengshan in ancient times. The Holy Land of Longevity. It was only after arriving here that I realized that Zhu Rong is not only the god of fire, but also the god in charge of fortune, wealth and longevity in the world.

Before leaving Hengshan, with the help of Master Xuanhe's friends, I rubbed a copy of the "Monument of King Yu" stone inscription. Since the "Monument of King Yu" was discovered, the characters on it have been called "ghost characters" because they are difficult to recognize.

After descending from Hengshan Mountain, we went to another famous mountain——Xingde Mountain.This mountain is also a famous Taoist mountain in Hunan, and its inheritance is orderly.There are many ancient tombs in the mountains, and the remains of the eventful Xingde Mountain Taoist priests buried in the tombs.Among the many tombs, the tomb of Zhang Daohui, the founder of the mountain, is the most attractive.

After descending from Xingde Mountain, we went to Xiangxi, which is dominated by Shiwan Dashan.Uncle Xuanhe asked me on the road: "Little fat man, what do you know about the land of western Hunan? Tell me about it!"

I rubbed my nose, looked at Master Xuanhe in surprise and said: "This is too simple! Xiangxi includes one city, which should be seven counties. Mainly the Miao people in Xiangxi, followed by the Tujia and Han people. , Hui people, etc. This place is rich in three evil Gu poisons, exorcising corpses and falling flower cave girls. Master brought me here this time, is he planning to experience exorcising corpses or Gu poison?"

Uncle Xuanhe tilted his head and looked at me and said, "You know a lot, kid. It seems that you didn't miss the information before you came here. Then guess what our purpose of coming this time is to find one of the three evils. ?”

I looked at Master Xuanhe and said with a smile: "Uncle Master is too praiseworthy. I did study or find other books before I came here. If you have to guess, I think the best thing is to drive corpses." Suspected."

Uncle Xuanhe nodded, and said to me: "That's right! Since you know so much, I don't need to hide it anymore. Our destination this time is in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Western Hunan, looking for the so-called The corpse-hunting old man who is the "King of Corpse". I just don't know if he is still alive!"

Upon hearing Master Xuanhe's words, I grabbed him and said, "Uncle Master is not mistaken, he is actually here to find some old evil thing. I have heard from Master that he has both righteous and evil characters." eccentric."

Uncle Xuanhe smiled and said to me: "Shui Laotao actually mentioned him to you. It's really not easy. Think about it. If he was alive, he would be in his [-]s. , I am not as old as you!"

"Ah?" I looked at Master Xuanhe in surprise and said, "I never thought that Master Master had seen this old monster in his early years! Master Master, please tell me about him, I am very interested in this."

Uncle Xuanhe glared at me and said: "You are so big or small, even your master will respect you as an old man when he sees him. You are only a little old man, you are an old monster who opens his mouth, and an old monster who keeps his mouth shut. What he heard, he turned you into a mummy. A mummy that can see everything in the world, but can't move, eat or drink. It is bitten by corpse insects and chewed by rats every day."

Hearing what Uncle Xuanhe said, I felt chills all over my body.I felt goosebumps all over my body, and my hairs stood upside down one by one.Shrinking his neck and looking around, he took a few breaths.

Uncle Xuanhe looked at me and said with a smile: "Why are you so scared! I tell you that you'd better be honest from today on, and if you talk nonsense, be careful and I'll take care of you!" Take out something like an iron ruler.

I leaned over to look at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Master, this is a Luban ruler, right? I haven't seen it like this before? Ordinary Luban rulers are thicker than this one, and the scales on them are different." Bring it over.

Unexpectedly, Master Xuanhe used an iron ruler in another hand and tapped heavily on my palm.Immediately there was a burning sensation in my palm, which spread down my arm.

I shook hands while rubbing each other.I heard Uncle Xuanhe say: "If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand. This is the ghost king's ruler used to measure ghosts. It is very different from the Luban ruler. If you are obedient and honest to me, wait until later I will pass on this unique skill to you, if you are not honest, you can just wait for me." Hearing Master Xuan He's words, I was startled.

Uncle Xuanhe also ignored me, and said to me as he walked: "Corpse chasers also need to rest, so there is a hotel for corpse chasers to rest. But no matter whether it is a hotel or in the wild, I am afraid that I will be hit by Yin Qi." The gate of ghosts. It attracts the ghosts in the gate of ghosts, so the corpse may also change. So an expert designed this ghost king ruler based on the appearance of Luban ruler."

After listening to Master Xuan He's words, I nodded.It turns out that there are so many doorways hidden in the small ruler.Uncle Xuanhe saw that I stopped talking, and said to me with a smile: "Tonight, I will take you to experiment, and I want you to know how powerful the ghost king ruler is."

I nodded excitedly when I heard it. Any preaching is not as solid as on-site practice.Moreover, not everyone has the opportunity to see something like the Ghost King Ruler.Thinking of this, I felt a little joy in my heart, but I also knew that a little bit of this Ghost King Ruler had other magical uses.Otherwise, Master wouldn't be so careful! ...
