402, Catch raw hides, stranger armor (1/2)
“Being in a small country like Dongliu Island, there are so many things that you haven’t understood.
Many things you thought were impossible,
It has already been successfully implemented by others. "
The 'father' looked at his son with a bit of pity and guilt in his eyes.
It seems that he could not let his son be born in the country of Tang Dynasty.
For him as a father, this is a huge dereliction of duty.
Axiong continued: "Since Master Jianzhen came to Dongliu Island, the 'Shintoism' of Dongliu Island has learned from many rituals brought by Master Jianzhen and created various rituals to worship the gods.
Today's Shintoism and the methods of controlling evil mastered by novice monks and nuns,
This is the mainstream method of controlling evil in Dongliu Island.
That is to say, Li Gui is wrapped in the "divine skin" specially made by the "Banhan Ghost Craftsman" for the gods.
So that the wrapped Ligui can enjoy the sacrifice of the real Sakaki wood with the "consciousness of the dead".
Through various rituals,
So that the devil can live in the shrine,
Driven by 'psychics' such as priests and onmyojis.
But they can only control the gods. They are the so-called attendants of the gods. It often happens that the gods do not obey their orders and move freely. Therefore, this method of controlling ghosts can be said to be a simple and extremely inefficient method. Law.
Besides,
On Dongliu Island, and even all over the world, there are people who were attacked by Li Kuai for unknown reasons but survived, and accommodated Li Kuai on their own.
Such people are extremely rare everywhere,
In Dongliu Island, he is known as the 'man who controls ghosts and gods'.
In the Tang Dynasty, this kind of people were attacked by evil spirits for a long time, and even their parents and relatives died violently due to the evil spirits in their bodies, which caused their temperament to change drastically. Ordinary people often did not dare to have much contact with them, so they called them "bad people" .
Later, the Tang Dynasty specially set up "bad commanders" to gather bad people from all over the world and use them to solve the serious and strange invasions in various places.
A born bad person,
After all, they are a minority.
In the process of accommodating Li Jui, every bad person
Its own lifespan is constantly being consumed.
They often only live three to five years before dying of their own strange resurgence.
But when they were alive, the treacherous power they released frightened everyone in the world.
Therefore, in Dongliu Island, if any noble family can hire a person who can control the evil spirits as a minister, the whole family will benefit from it - the person who can control the evil spirits is not like the Onmyoji who is the orthodox "Yin Yang Liu" in the court. included,
Most of them do not have fixed official positions.
Active in the shadows behind the major nobles.
The imperial court of Dongliu Island was not like the Tang Dynasty, which had the power to contain this force - even now, "people who control ghosts and gods" are gradually spreading around, causing conflicts among nobles and riots in various places. "
‘Father’ paused slightly,
Looking at Su Wu,
After Su Wu nodded, indicating that he fully understood what he said, he continued: "Hundreds of years ago - I don't know which year it was.
A bad commander somewhere in the Tang Dynasty discovered that one of his bad guys had been alive for more than fifteen years.
He is already the third bad coach he has experienced.
This discovery greatly surprised him.
He felt that the iron law of "a bad person cannot live longer than five years" might be broken at this time.
Then he discussed with the bad guy under his command,
discuss,
Privately study the root cause of why it can accommodate Li Gui for fifteen years without dying.
——He did not report the matter to the court,
It is also because if the matter is reported to the court and the court sends special personnel to study it, it will certainly speed up the research, but it may also lead to his subordinate being manipulated by the court and eventually falling into a situation where he can neither survive nor die.
Instead, he harmed his men.
The bad handsome man has a heart-to-heart relationship with his bad guy, who also regards the bad handsome man as his father and brother.
After joint research between the two,
Finally found,
The reason why this bad man was able to survive for fifteen years after containing Li Ju was because the Li Ju he contained was placed in the epidermis of his body, without intruding into the texture or causing harm to the five internal organs - this is a This is a huge accident, but is there some inevitable principle hidden in the accident?
The bad handsome man continued his research without giving up.
During this period, experiments were conducted on various animal leathers and even the skins of death row prisoners.
Often, as soon as the harsh and strange charm invades the cortex,
This causes all kinds of skin to wither.
He was so disheartened that he left a single skin bag hanging at home and put his research on hold.
One day after that, a close friend of his neighbor, a painter who specialized in painting images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for temples, died unexpectedly. The painter was so heartbroken that he drank heavily at home all day long and gradually gave up his work.
The wife really didn't want her husband to continue to be so decadent, so she asked a bad handsome neighbor to persuade him.
The bad commander invited the painter to his home and had a drink with him.
After three rounds of drinking, the bad commander did not forget the purpose of his trip. He saw the painter sighing and talking about his life. His best friend died in the prime of life. He was also heartbroken, so he advised the painter - why not paint a painting? Is the Jiuchong Palace out?
I often hear people say that if I have good painting skills, the world in the painting can become a real world, and people can be attracted to live in it. Their nature and soul can be preserved and they can live long in the world.
After hearing this, the painter suddenly had an idea. He found paper and pen, and started writing on a leather bag left by the bad guy on the wall.
On the spot, he sketched out many patterns that were difficult for bad guys to understand, but were greatly shocked.
The chaotic patterns pieced together and took shape,
It actually makes a skin feel like "alive"!
After painting, the painter fell into a deep sleep.
The bad handsome man sobered up,
Take that skin and do a lot of experiments.
Finally found out,
This skin bag can hold Li Gui - but it needs to be worn on a living person. If a living person puts on this skin bag, he will not be able to sense his own internal organs, hands, feet and limbs, and his own consciousness will be pinned on that skin bag. , relying on that skin to sense various external conditions and control one's physical body. "
Axiong stopped talking,
Looking at Su Wu,
Su Wu was entranced by what he heard and didn't react for a while.
Datang may have mastered an incredible method of controlling the evil forces!
This method,
It must be different from the general concept of "containing deceit within oneself\
,"But the other way around,
Let Gui tolerate yourself!
What are the benefits of asking Li Gui to tolerate himself?
He raised his eyes and looked at his 'father': "Father, why didn't you say anything?"
"I see that you are fascinated by what I heard, so I will give you time to digest it." 'Father' smiled and continued, "The skin bag made by this bad handsome man and the painter together is called 'catch rawhide'.
This generation of human armor is made with crude craftsmanship and crude materials.
As a result, if a bad person wears this armor, although he can protect himself from the pain of being attacked by the evil spirits, the damage to the armor's skin often occurs during the fight with the evil spirits.
Later, the bad commander presented this armor to the court.
After vigorous research by the imperial court,
Select various materials,
A highly skilled Taoist priest traces the talisman on three layers of leather tanned and sewn together: elephant skin, donkey skin, and cowhide.
Then perform various rituals and sacrifices,
Please give me the truth,
It becomes a ‘shengrenjia’.
Anyone who tolerates bad things can put themselves in a "vacuum" and isolate themselves from the energy of heaven and earth by wearing this armor. Their vitality is sealed and their lifespan is greatly extended.
Since then,
A bad person wearing a ‘stranger’s armor’,
Many talents come to an end.
There are a few bad people,
My own 'human being' has changed in the process, and it can even make it live for more than a hundred years - I am one of the very few bad people who have experienced strange changes in my own life! "
The 'Shengren Armor' can only exert its special effect if it is worn by someone who can accommodate Li Wei.
At the same time, once the 'Shengren Armor' becomes strange, it will most likely extend the user's life.
But listening to ‘Father’s’ tone,
‘Change’ doesn’t seem to be a good thing.
Su Wu quickly made a summary in his heart.
As his eyes flashed, he heard 'Father' continue: "Change is not a good thing - anyone who has experienced it knows that the pain of consciousness sometimes belonging to oneself and sometimes changing into something very strange is something that no one can understand.
Father, in order to fight against this pain,
Only then did he choose to free himself from the wrapping of the stranger's armor and engraved the 'Ink Picture' on his body.
Take advantage of Li Ju's power to fight against the invasion of Li Ju by the human armor.
In fact, when I was in the Tang Dynasty, ink painting had gradually become popular among the prostitutes, actors, sidemen, and soldiers at the bottom.
‘Ink Painting’ and ‘Shengren Jia’ are similar in approach but equally effective.
If the 'Ink Pattern' pattern can be engraved on the 'Human Armor', so that the two can restrain each other, this method may be more perfect - unfortunately, there are thousands of skins in the world, but there is not one that can. Carrying these two powers at the same time..."
Su Wu listened to what his 'father' said and thought thoughtfully: "When the Tang Dynasty was strong, it mastered the two skills of 'Ink Painting' and 'Born Human Armor' at the same time, and used the power of the central court to control tens of thousands of people. Can't we imprison all the wicked ones in the world?
Is there still a bright world in Kyushu where "there is no mystery in the world"? "
'Father' was stunned when he heard this.
After a while,
With a look of pain on his face, he murmured: "I almost did it... I almost did it...
The Chinese legal system began with the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, and has experienced chaos for a long time.
As for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when it finally reached its peak,
The Holy Emperor is wise and powerful, and all the officials in the temple are working hard to govern. It will soon be possible to achieve an era of great governance in which "the world is free from treachery" and the world will be clear——
But who would have thought?
Li Gui can be imprisoned for a short period of time,
But he cannot be imprisoned forever!
No matter how clever the methods of imprisonment are, they will always find flaws and they will always escape from the 'prison'! "
A look of fear appeared in Ah Xiong's eyes,
He said in a low voice: "The ghosts imprisoned in Daming Temple have realized the thoughts of boundless believers in Daming Temple. The great vow of 'all living beings are Buddhas' has swept across Yangzhou and the surrounding places, and all living beings have turned into ghosts!
Countless evil spirits gathered together,
The ghosts and Buddhas are resurrected...
At that time, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism became more and more intense.
The Taoist gate overwhelms the Buddhist gate.
Master Jianzhen lost the Daming Temple, so he traveled eastward to Dongliu Island——
He wants to practice his Hongyuan on Dongliu Island,
I don’t know where he is now? "
A pale green charm filled the eyes of 'Father'. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Su Wu, his face already looked like a sly one!
Su Wu and A Xiong looked at each other,
His expression was calm as usual.
The fire is burning in the eyes,
Behind the head stands a golden cobra with its heads standing side by side and spitting out snake letters!
"Hum!"
A loud shout!
The charisma that gradually accumulated in A Xiong's eyes disappeared completely.
