Chapter 1021 Six Paths! (12)
Under the first stone wheel, the skeletons of many livestock gathered densely.
Judging from the state and posture of the skeletons, these livestock were sacrificed alive at the bottom of the first stone wheel and buried alive!
The white bones piled up in the deep pit. There was nothing else under the first stone wheel except the skeletons of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses. Su Wu then opened the second and third stone wheels to check.
Under the second stone wheel, there were many statues of gods buried.
Those statues of gods were buried deep in the soil for decades, and after being excavated, they were still lifelike.
Statues of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, folk wild religions, and secular gods all stood in the deep pit.
Under the third stone wheel, there were many "human corpses" buried - Su Wu stood on the fourth stone wheel, looking down at the layers of corpses in the deep pit, their faces remained the same as before their death, as if they had solidified their state before their death, with a solemn look in his eyes.
These corpses look like real people, but if they are dead people, how could they be buried in the soil for decades without any signs of decay?
The soil here is moist and water-soaked, but it is not a suitable environment for preserving corpses.
"Pseudo-human corpses..." Su Wu whispered to himself.
——The "human corpses" buried in the deep pit are actually the corpses of pseudo-humans.
The "pseudo-humans" that originally resided in the corpses have long disappeared, only the skin they shed has remained and was buried under the third stone wheel of the Changsheng Archway as a foundation!
At first glance, the pseudo-human corpse does not look much different from a living person, but if you look closely at its facial features, you will find traces of stiffness, unnaturalness, and adjustments in its facial features, and even some traces that do not look like what a human should have. It will not be the "appearance" that a human should have, which will be reflected in the details of its body!
When the 'pseudo-human' remains in the body, the 'pseudo-human corpse' can cover up the traces that are different from humans.
But now these 'pseudo-human corpses' are the skins shed by the former pseudo-humans, and they can't cover up the abnormal traces. Even ordinary people can see the difference between them and real dead bodies by observing them for a few more times!
Under the fourth stone wheel, there are human bones that have been cut in half and decayed to only bones and tattered cloth;
Under the fifth stone wheel, there are also shriveled corpses covered with lime and salt. Among these corpses, there are livestock, cattle and sheep, as well as wild beasts such as tigers, leopards, jackals, and several human corpses. These specially treated corpses also show signs of decay to varying degrees in the deep pit, but have not yet completely turned into skeletons.
Many corpses have one thing in common, that is, they are all empty-bellied.
Not only did the bodies have nothing in their stomachs, but one had a small head and a big belly, one held a pile of gold, silver and copper coins in his arms, and one held many scrolls. Su Wu picked up a few scrolls that had not yet completely decayed, and spread them out, and saw some naked female beauties embroidered on them.
The "paper" that carried these pictures of beauties was a piece of human skin!
"Hungry ghosts with insatiable desires.
Hungry ghosts in lust, gambling ghosts, hungry ghosts." Su Wu looked at the human corpses mixed in with the corpses of many animals, and he already understood what these corpses under the fifth stone wheel represented.
They were empty in their stomachs, and there were gambling ghosts and lust ghosts among the corpses. From this, it can be seen that the corpses under the fifth layer did not actually point to a specific type of animals or a certain type of people. They pointed to the same thing, that is, hungry ghosts with insatiable desires.
Under the sixth stone wheel, there was also a statue of Buddha with a haggard appearance, a kind face, and deep eye sockets.
This 'Buddha' was covered with mottled mud.
Su Wu peeled off a few pieces of mud, revealing the hideous and jagged bone spurs underneath.
He peeled off the mud of the entire Buddha statue, revealing the hideous bone spurs underneath, and the image of a demon with an extremely terrifying and evil appearance, with grinding wheels, guillotines, knife mountains, and oil pots stacked on its spine!
"One thought leads to Buddhahood, one thought leads to hell." Su Wu understood the meaning of this Buddha's solemn appearance on the outside, but hell on the inside. He opened the seventh stone wheel, and there was only a skull under the stone wheel.
There were long hairs wrapped around the skull, and a square 'flag head' decoration was faintly visible between the hairs.
Judging from the hairs on the skull and the 'flag head' decoration used to fix the hairs, the skull under the stone wheel belonged to a woman, a banner woman.
It is even possible that she was a noble woman of the Qing Dynasty, or even a concubine in the palace!
Su Wu looked at the tresses with hair tangled in them, and inexplicably recalled the video footage he had seen when he first practiced the ‘Monkey Heart Fist’ – the ‘woman’ standing at the door of a main room, combing her hair into a ‘small bun’, waiting for the men outside the yard to enter the room.
He then opened the eighth stone wheel.
Under the eighth stone wheel, there was nothing.
But when the eighth stone wheel was opened, these connected deep pits collapsed again because there was no stone support. As the deep pits continued to collapse, another large pit collapsed on the far left side of the first stone wheel – in the large pit, many human bones stood in a forest, and countless human bones opened their claws and lifted up a headless skeleton wrapped in silk tattered cloth!
Su Wu looked at the skull heads in the seventh stone wheel pit, then looked up at the headless skeleton that was lifted up by many human bones beside the first stone wheel pit, and frowned: "The body and head are separated. The corpse of a woman - between the body and the head, there are six stone wheels with different meanings...
The first stone wheel symbolizes the animal realm, the second stone wheel symbolizes the 'god realm', the fourth stone wheel symbolizes the human realm, the fifth stone wheel symbolizes the hungry ghost realm, and the sixth stone wheel symbolizes the hell realm.
The third layer of stone wheels filled with the corpses of pseudo-human beings symbolizes the 'Path of Asura'.
Asuras, "non-celestial beings", are called "non-celestial beings" in Buddhist scriptures. In fact, there is not much difference between these creatures and "gods". In order to distinguish them from the gods, they are called non-celestial beings, but their nature is fond of killing and destroying - In the understanding of some "people" in the capital, the "corpse of a fake human" is a non-tian opposite to the god?
Those people's understanding of the 'Shen Dao' is also different from what is recorded in Buddhist classics.
The "Tao of Gods" they thought actually included Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and even all kinds of folk gods - Buddhism's own "Tao of Gods" should actually be called the Tao of Heaven and Humanity. The Tao of Heaven and Humanity does not include the three religions or even the wild folk religions. Gods only exist as so-called 'celestial beings'.
These six paths are no longer the ‘six paths of Buddha’.
These Six Paths elevate the way of heaven and humanity to the level of the way of gods. Is this just to contrast the ‘pseudo-human’ – the ‘non-god’…”
Su Wu approached the headless skeleton that was held up by standing human bones. Under the tattered silk covering the female skeleton, there was a shriveled and black fetal corpse inside the pelvis.
All the flesh and blood from its body had melted away, leaving only white bones, but the fetus in its belly had not yet completely corrupted.
Even the details of the fetus being born missing a foot were clearly visible to Su Wu.
"One foot is missing..." Su Wu's eyes moved slightly.
He thought of the consciousnesses of those who died under the four strange death tribulations on the missing person wall, and their bodies were often mutilated...
Snow-white strands of hair floated from Su Wu's ears to the sky. Those strands of hair kept climbing towards the zenith, causing Su Wu's figure to rise from the ground. He climbed straight to the zenith and looked down at 'Wan Mountain' from the sky. , overlooking the many deep pits that cut off the feng shui dragon veins of Wanshan, and the area connected by many bone pits and statue pits, even if he is in the sky and overlooking the earth, it is still very conspicuous!
——In the rotten Feng Shui situation, the Qi veins of Kanli imbalance and Feng Shui imbalance accumulated at the position of the eighth stone wheel opened by Su Wu. The breath followed the nested stone wheels and instilled into the woman of the seventh stone wheel. The skulls of the skeleton then passed through six channels and slowly gathered into the headless woman's corpse next to the first stone wheel, gathering on top of the withered baby in its belly!
This repeated cycle has not changed at all, even after Su Wu demolished the longevity arch and overturned the stone wheel!
In the rotten Feng Shui situation, a new ‘Feng Shui situation’ has emerged!
‘It’ is nested in the rotation of the earth’s feng shui, and it is already integrated with this place!
The imbalanced Kanli Feng Shui seemed to have merged into the withered baby's body, but in fact, it was transferred to the unknown place with the help of the 'symbol' of two parts of the body and six paths in the middle!
What are the intentions of the people behind all these plans?
Is he still a human being?
Who is he? !
Su Wu fell back into the mountain forest and filled up the big hole in the mountain again. The longevity archway that had been completely uprooted by Yinggui also fell back to its original position. He restored everything in this place to its original state.
This Feng Shui situation embedded in the earth's veins cannot be changed once the situation develops.
Moreover, even if Su Wu could break the Feng Shui situation here, the capital sent masons to various places to build such immortal archways. Even if they exhausted their efforts and destroyed one of them, it would have no effect.
On the contrary, it will make the people behind the scenes pay attention to themselves prematurely.
However, Su Wu found many clues by digging up the longevity archway.
The most critical clue among them is the bannerwoman who was pregnant but was brought to Wanshan to be martyred as a person in the longevity memorial arch. This woman can serve as the carrier of the entire "Six Paths", and her status must also be extremely important. She is tall and has some background. She may be an aristocratic woman living in the capital.
According to the time of the construction of the Longevity Arch in Wanshan, we might be able to find out the origin of this noble woman and get more clues accordingly.
Soon after the area around the Changsheng Arch was restored to its original state, Li Xiongbiao, Wu Wenyuan, Li Heihu and others also gathered one after another.
Several members of the Li family looked at the orphans sleeping peacefully on Nian's back, and all smiled.
“This archway looks eerie.
Inozi, what do you think of this archway? Did you find any clues? "Li Heihu looked up at the word 'immortality' on the plaque on the towering archway, and turned to ask Su Wu.
