Chapter 55 Shichongzhuang

In the current situation, everything has nothing to do with Qi Junyuan.It would be understandable if he took advantage of Qin Shengsheng's opportunity to get away from him and leave.But he seemed to be entangled in the vines and couldn't get out. Seeing these inexperienced white labels wandering around, he still couldn't leave them with peace of mind.In addition, he always felt that there were certain secrets hidden behind all kinds of abnormal phenomena, just like Qin Shengsheng and the others chasing the crowd of crazy corpses, it was definitely not as simple as watching the excitement.

I don't know why, Qi Junyuan, who is very calm, has a strong desire to find out the answer this time.It may be because he failed in the assassination of Tangzhou and almost fell, or it may be that he was not mentioned in all the "Lumangjian" and "Luanmingzhang" that he learned afterwards.In other words, first he almost died, and then he lost his identity and trace.This was a mistake that had never occurred in Lihen Valley, so he wanted to know where the mistake happened, whether it was accidental or man-made.This was also one of his intentions to let Qin Shengsheng and the others leave on purpose.

It was almost three changes, and there was no change or movement.Although Qi Junyuan's figure was still unmoved, his heart was already turbulent.Did I miscalculate again?Being tricked by Qin Shengsheng and the others?Dumped by the mad corpse?Even Fan Xiaotian didn't seem to move, and no one appeared again.Could it be that someone who didn't find Shangdeyuan left himself here alone in a fit of anger? Just when Qi Junyuan was in a state of turmoil, a red light flashed suddenly in Ban Zide's courtyard, and a huge blood-red Kongming lantern rose slowly.Immediately, a fire ignited inside the gate of the courtyard, but it was a swaying blue flame, which was very strange.

The door of Banzi Deyuan slowly opened, and a person came out from the door.This man has short hair and no beard, his face is wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and he looks a bit like an old lady.If you look closely, the masculine features are quite obvious.What was even weirder than his appearance was the robe he was wearing. This robe was too big, stretched out to the size of two sheets.What's more, the surface of the robe is covered with weird human-shaped patterns, stretched, curled, and twisted, like a killing field and hell.It is estimated that it should be a robe for some kind of evil ritual.

The man walked out of the courtyard gate, walked a dozen steps, and stood in the middle of the horse path.The strange eyes with flashing green light glanced around, and then let out a strange laugh, and the voice was like a night owl flying in shock, worse than crying.As soon as the laughter stopped, the man shouted: "Hi! It's been a while, why don't you come in?" The voice was as scary as a knife cutting the bottom of a pot, and it spread far and far in the silent night. Qi Junyuan's heart tightened: Did you say this to me?Have you already fallen in the eyes of others?

"Actually, it's right not to come in. So what if these rotten corpses come in? The name of the Great Nuo Master is not blown out. If you are afraid of your method of moving bones, I won't look for you." It's bad luck for Shangdeyuan." From the words, it can be heard that this strange man is the Great Nuo Master among the five masters. It can also be heard from the words that Qi Junyuan didn't show his face, so he still hid among the willow branches and remained motionless. Something has started to move outside the village, and there are a lot of them in a wide range.The rustling sound came, no less than the sound of water flowing in the nearby Zhuang River.Although the sky is very dark, although Banzi Deyuan is far away from the Zhuangkou, but from the front gate, you can still see a large black area slowly pressing towards the Zhuangkou.

The great Nuo Master's face was slightly wrinkled, and the palm hanging by his side twirled the Fire Burning Heaven Finger Art, and then slightly lifted it up two inches.Following the gesture of the great Nuo master, the blue flames in the courtyard suddenly jumped two feet high, and the blood-red Kongming lanterns rising in the courtyard also suddenly drifted towards the door. A large black mass has slowly approached Zhuangkou, gathered at the gourd waist of Chunxi Bridge, and started commotion.At this moment, a crisp bell rang in the darkness not far away.With the continuous ringing of the bell, the black mass became orderly and then regular, but at the same time, the speed also began to accelerate, like a black torrent rushing straight towards Zhuangzi.There is no human voice, just like ghost soldiers attacking Shangdeyuan.There are only a lot of broken sounds, that is, the wooden fences, flagpoles, and stairs in Zhuangkou were all flattened at once.

The Nuo Master gestured again, and the blue flames in the yard jumped high again, and spread out in all directions, forming a big circle-shaped flame.And the blood-red Kongming Lantern began to move rapidly out of the courtyard, and passed the place where the Nuo Master was standing, and went straight to meet Zhuangkou. The Kongming Lantern floated for a long distance, stopped suddenly, and then hung directly above the Zhuangzhong horse path, and began to rotate slowly.When the huge Kongming lantern passed the big willow tree where Qi Junyuan was hiding, Qi Junyuan took a closer look at the strange lantern.The outer cover of the lamp is different from the usual Kongming lanterns, with many characters and symbols on it.But now that it is turned, Qi Junyuan feels a bit like a prayer wheel in a Tubo temple.

Qi Junyuan's feeling is not wrong. Although this Kongming lantern is not a prayer wheel, its origin is similar to that of the prayer wheel.Although the Great Nuo Master is from a foreign race in the southwest, the exercises he uses are exactly one of Tantra.When Chinese Buddhism was first introduced to Han, it was divided into Miscellaneous Division, Taizang Realm, and Vajra Realm.Among them, the miscellaneous and secret parts are mostly rituals and mantras, focusing on supernatural powers and the method of driving ghosts and gods, which is the embryonic form of Tantric Buddhism.The main reason why Han Tantra did not become as popular as Tibetan Tantra was that the practitioners at that time misunderstood this part of the content.He only paid attention to the study of the Miscellaneous Secret Department, so that relying on the exercises in it gradually entered the evil way.But Tibetan Buddhism pays attention to the study of Vajra Realm, that is, the Supreme Yoga Tantra.This part of the development was relatively late, and it was only introduced to the mainland during the Song Dynasty. It did not have an impact, but it formed a scale of inheritance in Tibet.

In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Tantrism of Han Dynasty was already in a state of abnormal practice. It was regarded as a demon religion by the world at that time, and its development had begun to transfer to small tribes in remote areas.Therefore, some tribes and villages of ethnic minorities in later generations have their own unique religious beliefs, which are likely to be formed from this mutated Hanmi.Wu Leye's "Records of Faith and Yu Duozong" in the Southern Han Dynasty, and "Different Laws and Secret Views" by Cao Shou, a native of Fujian in the Northern Song Dynasty, both have records related to Han Chuan Tantra.In particular, there is such an example in Cao Shou's "The Secret View of Different Laws", which says that the master chanted a mantra to make the living things smaller and then bigger, and then took the meat for others to eat.It can make the flesh-eater's abdomen feel like a knife is twisted, and the pain is unbearable.In the end, there are often only two results, either to die from pain, or to commit suicide, so as to avoid more torture.It can be seen from this that those who practice miscellaneous secrets at that time have completely belonged to evil spirits and heresies.

Qi Junyuan actually didn't know the characters and symbols on the Kongming Lantern very well, he was just curious about the control of the Kongming Lantern.It is normal for this light to rise into the air, and it can also be done when it stops at a certain height and rotates itself.But it can be done and stopped whenever it wants, and it can be done at any speed, but I don't know what technique the great Nuo master uses to control it.Moreover, Qi Junyuan took a closer look and confirmed that there was no wire connection between the Grand Nuo Master and the Kongming Lantern, and there were no special devices or falling objects on the Kongming Lantern, so it was impossible to figure out what kind of control method was used. In fact, this is the difference between the Qi family and the Xuan family.Qi Junyuan's thinking is always looking for methods from the various principles of the power of utensils and the use of string buckles, but the great Nuo master is the spirituality that is injected into the Kongming lantern.This is actually the same as the golden needle driving mad corpses, the difference is only in the spells used and the injection methods. The method of controlling the movement of objects with mind and spirit is very common in the earliest practice methods of Buddhism, Taoism, and magic, and the method of magic is the most convenient, fast and effective.This is why psychic psychics are far more difficult than enchantment.However, once the cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism breaks through a certain limit, they will enter another realm completely, and the energy driven by them cannot be countered by the magic school. There are many types of mind control techniques, but they are all too mysterious, and there are very few people in the world who can learn and use them.In addition to this, there is another kind of control method that is equally feasible, that is insect control, and later generations also have it called Gu control.Du Fengqi from the Tang Dynasty mentioned in "Fengyunxuan Miscellaneous Talks" that some evil magicians use their own essence, blood, vitality to cultivate insects, and the insects can communicate with their masters.Then place it on the object, and use the mind to drive the action of the bug to realize the desire to control the object.These insect-like creatures are collectively known as "heartworms".The so-called "heartworm haunting" and "heartworm chaos" originally referred to the phenomenon that these mages could not control the insect-like creatures in a certain state. Now, regardless of whether the Great Nuo Master used the mind spell or the mind worm to control it, Qi Junyuan's knowledge would not be able to see the mystery of it.However, Qi Junyuan is clear about one thing, that is, this Kongming lantern that moves according to the instructions is by no means as simple as being used for lighting.Its true purpose is either to resist and destroy, or to guide and drive. The black masses were getting closer, and as they approached, there were constant sounds of collapsing and collapsing in Dongxian Village, and at the same time, dust billowed up, blurring the red light and blue fire that had just been lit in Zhuangzi.It should be that the accelerated black shadows touched the knuckles (concealed weapons) all over the village, and these knuckles obviously couldn't stop them. Qi Junyuan didn't need to look closely with the help of clear light, he could confirm that those intruding shadows were not normal people just from his vague walking posture.Yes, those people are indeed not normal people, but dead people who are still frantic, and the mad corpses rushed to the village!
