Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen
"Wen Bin, what's the explanation?" Old Wang asked.
Zha Wenbin said lightly: "The Gate of Death belongs to the soil, flourishing in autumn, especially Wei and Shenyue, who meet in summer, imprisoned in winter, and die in spring. Jukun Palace Fu Yin, Ju Gen Palace Reverse Yin, Ju Xun Palace The palace enters the tomb, the Juzhen Palace is restrained, the Juli Palace is prosperous and fierce, and the Jukan Palace is forced to be fierce. Coming here, there is only one consequence, and that is a narrow escape!"
Although Chaozi knew that Zha Wenbin was a man of knowledge, he never believed in fate. He said, "Is it really that mysterious? I don't believe it anymore."
Cha Wenbin turned around and smiled: "If you can open this door and wait for people to come, you won't be afraid that you can walk out alive. It's just a reason why Shitou's father died here. It's just a matter of fate. "
"Is there a solution?" Old Wang asked.
"There is no solution, everyone lives in peace. The soul-calling banner has been set up. This place is not what should exist in the world, but comes from the reappearance of Shura Hell. To put it bluntly, someone imitated the appearance of the underworld to create such a place, which can gather all the underworld. Sha, so when we came here, we didn’t see half of the dead souls. Most of them were trapped here after death. This is also called the soul gathering place. I think it’s probably related to those evil ghosts. Only they need such things. Even if ordinary people can get out of this place, they will have to lose ten years of life, and you and I are no exception."
Zha Wenbin's words poured cold water on everyone's hearts. He had just been born and entered the gate of death and life. He also lost ten years of life for no reason. This is the best portrayal of destiny.A person always has to go through some ups and downs in his life, and the horoscope will be harder after passing. If you can't get through, you will die in hell.
Just like they shouldn't have come to such a place, and they couldn't find the necessary reason to come, but when they came, they came, and once they came, they accepted it, everything was arranged in the dark.Looking back, there is no way out, there is no way out.
"Then what exactly is this place?" Chaozi was already a little impatient, this trip was the most difficult, much worse than the last one.
After thinking about it, Zha Wenbin continued: "The change of seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter is not only what I inferred before, but more because of being born here. But we are going the wrong way."
"Reverse, what will happen then?"
"Go backwards."
Zha Wenbin only felt that the soul-calling banner on the square was a bit dazzling. If this was a challenge to the Tao, would he, a small village Taoist, have the ability to resist?
It is always the hardest thing to do things without a clue, just like they don’t know why they came to this place, only relying on the dispensable information collected by Lao Wang, the sacred tree, is there really another one? ?
Lao Wang also lost his mind. It would be impossible to find things in this place. Now how to get out safely is the top priority.The sun was about to set, and a red glow sprinkled on the lakeside not far away. It was as beautiful as golden light. No one could associate such a place with death and the underworld.If he died here, it would be a beautiful place, he thought.
"What's next?" Old Wang asked, wondering what to do next.
"Wait." Cha Wenbin gave such an ambiguous sentence.What are you waiting for?He knew it in his heart.
The night came as expected, the high fire made everyone's faces glow red, and there was delicious meat stewed in the pot, but except for the meaty face, no one else had an appetite.
Cha Wenbin looked at the weeping faces of the crowd. He is a person who can't lie, and he can say what he knows.No one would build ruins at the gate of death, even if it was a tomb, they would not build it here, because that would turn the deceased into a complete evil spirit, let alone protect the descendants.
Looking at the scale of this ruins, I am afraid that people who are not at the level of emperors do not have this ability, at least it is the power of a small border country.
Where there are mountains and water, dragons are supposed to come out, not to mention using a lake like a sinking abyss as an introduction, even a real dragon in the sky can't help but come down and roll.But the people who built this place just came and did the opposite. They insisted on setting up a dead position on this mountain, and then Shen Yuan became Feng Yuan. Cha Wenbin now thinks that they can escape that catastrophe. It was pure luck.
Who can have such a big hand to build such an isolated world?This question is something he needs to consider.For five thousand years in China, no matter which dynasty or country or ruler they are in, they will always look at Feng Shui when building a place of this scale. This timeless architectural method has continued to the present.
Feng Shui is invisible, but it can influence your life and even the fate of a country.
The mountain wind was blowing, sweeping past everyone's ears like howling ghosts.The soul-calling flag was swaying in the wind with a "crash", and Chaozi suggested several times to chop it up. Who wants to sleep with this thing floating above their heads?But Cha Wenbin refused, he only said that there is a time when you cut it.
No one ate dinner, and Hengroulian picked up a bargain by himself. In the end, he simply didn't even give them any soup left, and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at the kid's eating, Chaozi really didn't dare to compliment him. He chewed the biscuit and muttered, "It's a pig!"
On the contrary, Cha Wenbin watched him eat cheerfully, and waited until he finished eating before saying, "Big brother, are you full today?"
The fleshy face wiped his mouth in embarrassment and said: "I'm full, I'm full, I see you don't eat, it's a pity to waste it, I'll just..."
"Go to sleep when you're full. Can you sleep under the flagpole tonight?" Cha Wenbin still said with a smile.
As soon as the others heard that he had arranged it in this way, they all immediately became vigilant. Zha Wenbin has always been cautious in his work style and never made jokes. Everyone in that place knows that he will not sleep well.
The fleshy face can only be eaten and has great strength, but that doesn't mean he is stupid, he also knows that the thing is for dead people, and sleeping on it doesn't mean he is a dead person?
However, the more stupid the person looks, the smarter he is, he said unexpectedly: "Brother Wen Bin said he can sleep wherever he wants."
"That's good!" Cha Wenbin laughed, and then handed him a bandaged towel, which seemed to be wrapped with something, "Go to sleep first, if I don't wake you up, don't get up, no matter what what happened."
After the bag of things, Hengroulian went straight to the soul-calling banner. There was a large flat bluestone under the banner. As soon as Hengroulian spread the sleeping bag in his backpack, he started snoring after a while, which really made a group of people feel ashamed.How sleepy and courageous it is to be able to fall asleep!
"Then shall we go to sleep too?" Old Wang asked.In fact, he really didn't want to go to sleep, and he was afraid that Cha Wenbin would arrange him, so he simply asked.
Cha Wenbin took out all the things in the bag, and gave some of the ingots to Lao Wang and said, "We don't sleep, we just sit and warm ourselves."
Where is Lao Wang willing to accept this thing?He repeatedly waved his hands and said, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that he refused to accept it, Zha Wenbin took one out and threw it into the fire. The ingot made of yellow paper was instantly reduced to ashes: "Accompany them."
"Who? They? Who are they?"
Zha Wenbin threw a few more ingots and fiddled with them with a small stick to make the ingots burn faster.
"It's not them, it's them, those invisible 'friends', I don't know if anyone usually comes to pay homage to them. Burn more paper money, sleep on other people's land, at least they have to pay some rent."
This is Cha Wenbin, who can't stop talking to death!Old Wang's face suddenly turned pale, and he turned his head vigilantly to look around. Except for one or two bamboo leaves that occasionally floated over, there was really nothing else.
"Don't look at it, you can't see it." Cha Wenbin lowered his head and burned the paper, "It's a treasure to stay overnight, and I hope everyone, don't grab it, everyone has it." After finishing speaking, he simply stood up , throwing up a handful of ingots in his hand. "Huh", a gust of wind blew, and the flames on the fire were also beating, and the paper money was floating in the air, and then scattered in every corner.
Zha Wenbin took out another stack: "Take some to burn and buy some peace for the first half of the night, so that we can watch the moon in peace in the second half of the night."
Lao Wang also took a stack silently, and looked up, where is the moon?It must have been covered by the dark clouds, he only felt the chill behind him, and he only cursed in his heart: "Zha Wenbin, can you stop scaring people like this!"
Not far away, the snoring sounded like thunder, and the soul-calling banners fluttered like dancing. This joint performance made Cha Wenbin smile slightly.
From time to time, Cha Wenbin stimulated their nerves by throwing some paper money, which also turned the mountains and plains into a sea of paper money.The mountain wind swept the papers and scattered them all over the place, but Cha Wenbin said seriously that it was the brats stealing money, which made Chao Zi laugh out loud and Lao Wang rolled his eyes again and again.
Good steel must be used wisely, so the paper money must be used well.Sure enough, in the first half of the night, no matter how loud the mountain wind was blowing, the candle standing in the small circle drawn with lime in front of Cha Wenbin was still burning vigorously.
Cha Wenbin said that this candle was lit for Hengroulian, so that he could see it while walking in the world below, which meant that he had already gone.
When Lao Wang heard this, the muscles on his face kept twitching. When did he, Zha Wenbin, start doing these things like taking other people's lives to make way for himself?There is no guarantee that it will be me next time.He covered his clothes and pulled the collar tighter, for fear that he would betray him once he fell asleep.Because he was thinking about who has the stronger relationship here, Chao Zi and Wen Bin are real brothers, and Zhuo Xiong is a comrade-in-arms, and he is the only one left in his hometown after all, so he is left as an outsider.Although everyone says they are brothers, if you really have to sacrifice at a critical time, then you have to be the first dish. Besides, this place was brought by his old king. ?
Thinking of this, he simply asked Chaozi for a few cigarettes, and after taking a few puffs he choked again and again, just to keep a clear head.
"Then will he be okay?" Zhuo Xiong asked, pointing to his sleeping face.
Zha Wenbin didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that Lao Wang's nervous appearance had completely exposed his inner world, and the chaos in the nest was what he was most afraid of.A saying that Master often talked about during his lifetime is: "Ghosts are not terrible, what is more terrible than ghosts is the human heart."
Along the way, the entire army has almost been wiped out several times due to mutual speculation or wild thinking. It should be said that this problem should be corrected.But the old saying is good: the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!Lao Wang is a person who has been in the arena for so many years, so he can understand if he is a little bit wary.
Cha Wenbin looked at Lao Wang intentionally and said: "It's okay, I just let him rest. That banner is the eye of the big formation, but we can't move it. It's like a landmine buried here, but we can't find out how to do it." The way to dismantle it, if you do it rashly, the mine will explode."
As soon as Chaozi heard about landmines, he became excited, and he had encountered them quite often on the border.He said, "What will happen if it explodes?"
Cha Wenbin smiled and said: "If it blows up, we can see these 'friends' who robbed money. I let the big guy sleep there, the purpose is to let him block the eye and buy us time to clear the mine. .This is a door of death, no matter how you go, you will die. The designer of this land did not leave a way out for himself from the beginning, and I'm sure he also put his own life here."
Old Wang sighed: "Oh, that's all. Hearing you say that, he is dead anyway. But didn't I remember that if there is a gate of death, there must be a gate of life?"
Zha Wenbin was baking shoes. After walking for a day, the sweat on his feet made the shoes damp, and the stench in the shoes made him unable to open his eyes, so he squinted and said, "Yes, there is death. There must be life. But there is an exception in this world, that is, in the underworld, where there is only absolute death, unless you can find reincarnation, that is also a matter of the next life. We are now in an absolute death position, so I call this a gathering place."
"This person used Shenyuan to lure the dragon, sealed the Yuan to kill the dragon, and sealed the incomparably upright real dragon spirit within a hundred miles. The dragon is the most noble representative, but also the most evil representative. Good and evil Evil is always on the opposite side, just like a mirror, the farther you stand, the farther away you are from yourself in the mirror.”
"To put it another way, the more upright a dragon is, the heavier the evil spirit it will turn into after killing it. Not all dragon veins in the world are good Fengshui, but all the most fierce places have green mountains and green waters. On the contrary, those The mass graves seem more peaceful."
Listening to Zha Wenbin's preaching, Chaozi always found it so interesting, and he interjected vigorously: "I understand, just like the most beautiful flower in the world, the fruit it bears is often the most poisonous, such as poppies!"
"Then you still say that he has already gone down, just to scare us." Old Wang muttered.
"He's different from us," Cha Wenbin explained, "He is Zhang Fei alive, with the courage to be one man and one man, and only he can prevent the gate of hell from opening. And none of you can do it. I showed him that his life is hard and he can bear it. If someone else goes there, he will be a corpse when the sun comes out tomorrow morning. Don’t worry, he will stay by Gray Beard’s side for a long time Yes, he has a different breath from ours, and when he wakes up, that is when we find out the specific location of the lock."
Time passed by minute by minute, and every minute of waiting seemed like a long century. There is nothing more tangled than waiting, because the result will never be revealed until that moment, and only Cha Wenbin knows What is he waiting for.
It is now midnight, and the temperature outside has dropped to the lowest point. Cha Wenbin stretched out his hands and flipped back and forth on the fire. The Seven Star Sword beside him was deeply inserted into the soil, and the blade kept swinging. , Excited to make a "woo hoo" sound.
This time, he only took out a piece of paper money and squeezed it in his hand, the wind made it tremble non-stop.With a release of the index finger, the piece of paper money floated straight into the air like a kite that was unthreaded. It seemed to have spirituality in the air, and after a few circles, it slowly floated towards the middle of the square.
Cha Wenbin looked at where it fell with a serious expression. When the paper money wobbled and floated above the soul-calling banner, his heart was already in his throat.
"This is money for his life!" Cha Wenbin murmured. He was praying that the paper money would fall where it should. Became a real executioner, a murderer who gambled with his brother's life!
"Get up and prepare the guys for me, Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, prepare the explosives for me!" Cha Wenbin shouted loudly, his hand was only a few centimeters away from the Seven Star Sword on the ground, his fingers kept moving, It was as if waiting for the time to draw the sword.
"Huh!" The candle in the circle in front of my eyes suddenly jumped, and the yellow flame, which was originally the size of a thumb, instantly became the size of a green mung bean, showing signs of going out at any time.
Everyone remembers what he said, when the lights go out, people die!
All breathing stopped at this moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the seemingly extinguished candle.At this moment, the fleshy face that was sleeping on its side suddenly turned over and turned face up, and the loud snoring sounded like thunder.This is Zhang Fei. He still drank, ate meat and snored in the palace of the king of hell. If there were not such an upright man, how could he guard the gate of hell!
The piece of paper money had been floating above the soul-calling flag for a long time, and now it seemed to have found its target, and it fell down quickly. One of Cha Wenbin's feet was ready to sprint, and he said silently in his heart: "It must fall, it must fall!" Because this piece of paper money is for this master to buy roads below, as long as he can hold it, his life will be safe; No guarantee!He found out that Wenbin was only 10% sure, that is, he would go to the underworld to snatch him back after entering the samadhi.
If there are two or three accidents, he is still sure, but where is this?Dead door!That is in the palace of Hades!Can Cha Wenbin survive?A Ksitigarbha king spent his whole life saving the underworld, let alone a little Taoist priest.
When the paper copper coin slowly landed on Yintang with a swollen face, his thunderous snoring stopped abruptly, and the mung bean-like candle flame ignited with a "boom" as if it had regained oxygen, Cha Wen Bin's hanging heart finally let go.
I don't know when, the dark clouds in the sky have already dispersed, and a round of golden moon shines brightly on the earth.The moon viewing that Cha Wenbin mentioned is finally here!
This "appreciating the moon" is not the other "appreciating the moon". There is no moon cake, no rice wine, let alone those elegant moods.
Zha Wenbin sat cross-legged, lit two candles in front of him, and inserted three sticks of incense. Everyone knew that he was going to open an altar to practice.
Zha Wenbin raised the evil spirit bell in his hand, pointed at the Big Dipper with a talisman on the Seven Star Sword, and sprayed forward violently with a sip of strong wine in his mouth, a blue-purple flame slowly burned forward along the hilt, like a Xiao Zilong walked around the sword.
When the flame reached the tip of the sword, Zha Wenbin recited: "The human world is elusive, but the immortal world is boundless; the ghost world is joyful, and it is the gate of life; the immortal world is the life, and the ghost world is the end. All ghosts are happy together, and the endless hell begins!"
With a "boom", the talisman instantly ignited into a ball of flames. At this moment, he seemed to be holding a burning dragon in his hand, roaring as if it was about to rush into the sky.
Cha Wenbin stepped on the seven stars, changed his steps like the wind, stepped on the Big Dipper with his shoes, and pointed his sword in the air. Cha Wenbin recited: "There will eventually be thousands of ghosts in the Quanmiao Mansion in the north. But if you want to stop people, cut off the gate of life. Ah Ren Sing Dongzhang to capture Bei Luofeng. Recite demon spirits and cut off the six ghosts. All the weather is turbulent, and my Dao will prosper!"
After the talisman paper fireball burned out, Zha Wenbin took out a silver needle and slowly inserted it into the Baihui acupoint.Excuse me, Zha Wenbin doesn't even know how many times he still has lives to borrow, this is the injection of needles from Baihui, which means to suppress the acupoints of the three yang and five hui in the body, and seal all the openings that may allow his soul to escape.The consequences of doing this are also extraordinary, to concentrate all the strength to explode at one point, what is sacrificed is the confidence accumulated in the past, and this is the second time he borrowed his life in just a few days.But this life has to be borrowed, if you can't get out, you will die!
Using the ground as the scabbard, he stood the Seven Star Sword beside him, and Cha Wenbin took out a bronze gossip mirror from the gossip bag.A mirror is the one that best reflects the real thing, what is at one end is what is at the other end.Only it will not deceive the eyes, so the mirror has the theory of warding off evil spirits. It allows ghosts to see their own appearance and realize that they should no longer appear in the world.
Cha Wenbin turned the mirror towards the moon, then kept switching angles, gesturing on the ground, he was trying to reflect the light of the moon!
Use a mirror to reflect sunlight and draw circles on the wall. I believe many people have played this, but have you ever used a mirror to reflect moonlight?If you play it and be seen by an older person, you will definitely be scolded.
The way here is that the sun's light illuminates the living, so those things cannot come out during the day, and the moonlight is just for those things to be illuminated, and there may be something that you don't want to see in the mirror suddenly. thing!
And he, Cha Wenbin was using this taboo to find what he wanted.
The white moonlight shines on the desolate land, and the ground is the afterimage refracted by the mottled broken wall.At this moment, the soul-calling banner was infinitely elongated, and its projection gradually changed as the moonlight changed its position.When you and I are completely confused by this warm scene, unexpected things will happen unexpectedly.
Finally, at the time of the twilight, when the yin energy was at its peak, the projection of the soul-calling streamer completely became a point and merged with his own stake. "The time has come! Everyone is ready!" After Zha Wenbin yelled, the gossip mirror in his hand suddenly turned upside down, and a faint ray of moonlight was quickly refracted onto the ground.It is very faint, so faint that it is almost impossible to distinguish it with the naked eye, because the moonlight is too weak, too weak for us to find its refraction point.
The lack of light on the ground does not mean that there is no light in Cha Wenbin's heart. In his eyes, the circle of light reflected by the moonlight quickly swept across every inch of the land he locked on. Finally, when this point reached the northwest direction of the summoning banner When Cha Wenbin was on the very unremarkable broken stone, he stopped, and a scene that surprised them appeared!
On the ground full of moonlight, there is a black existence!
Zha Wenbin's hand moved slightly, and the broken rock reappeared, still lying there quietly, but when he reset the mirror on his hand again, the place that was originally a rock fell into darkness again.
Existing like a black hole, it devours all reflected light sources between heaven and earth.The setting is too ingenious, Cha Wenbin sighed in his heart.The original moonlight cannot be absorbed, this is because it cannot reveal its exact position, but the refracted one is fine, because it cannot resist the power of condensing the moonlight to a point and spraying it out, just like a delicate dessert. In front of a greedy and hungry person, how can you keep him from moving!
"Right there, shoot!" Cha Wenbin held up the mirror and pouted.He knew it would be many years before this scene reappeared, because it was very clever.
Zhuo Xiong raised his hand to shoot, but at this moment, the bullet that was originally full of power seemed to be pierced into a ball of cotton, silently without even making a sound of impact.
A moment later, if you have to talk about the time, it can only be calculated in milliseconds. The originally dark area was suddenly covered with moonlight again, and the faint gunpowder smoke was rising into the sky. A hole the size of a bowl was left forever on that stone. superior.
"It's here." Cha Wenbin led them to the edge of the rock, pointing to the point of impact and said.The purpose of Zhuo Xiong's shot is to leave a mark. For the calculation of Dao, the ancestors who are proficient in astronomy and geography can be accurate to the last six decimal places. It will only be a little bit, and if it is off by a degree or two, the lucky house will become a haunted house.
The stone looked like a girder stone in an old house, used to support the pressure from above the door frame, which meant that it was a door.
No one would build a mansion in the dead position, just imagine which generation of kings would be happy to live in a ghost den?Then there are only two other explanations for this place: the altar or the tomb!
Although this piece of knowledge is not Zha Wenbin's strong point, it is Lao Wang's strong point. What he does is archaeology!
Old Wang said: "From the perspective of terrain and landform, this place is indeed suitable for building an altar. First of all, the terrain here is the highest around, and the smoke and fire rising from here can be seen from every corner. scene, but I didn’t find the sacrificial platform on the site. The most important part of the ancient people’s sacrificial site is at the position of the evocation flag, which should be the highest. But judging from the scattered building wreckage at the site, it seems more like a The main hall, because there are cornerstones of beams and door frame stones all around, if you speculate boldly, maybe this is an ancient Yizhuang."
Cha Wenbin just looked at the layout and said: "This place gathers the resentment of the world, gathers the unparalleled evil spirit, and does not hesitate to use the real dragon to turn it into hostility. The people who build it should be worthy of the word evil. I want to do this kind of work." Only those who practice the ghost way can make it, so Dashi Shitou will appear here."
"What exactly is the way of ghosts?" Old Wang had never heard of this way before, and only after following Zha Wenbin did he encounter such heretical people one after another.
Zha Wenbin shook his head and said: "I don't know the technique, it's just some personal understanding. The world should be divided into three ways, namely the human way, the heavenly way and the ghost way, which represent the highest practice in the three worlds. People in this world should practice The way of humanity, learning filial piety, understanding things, distinguishing good from evil, and being loyal to the king, is humane; and the way of heaven is to explore the fate of heaven, the reincarnation of the three realms, try to spy on the endless variables of all things, master the rules of nature, and try to change the originally set destiny. This is what Paizhengtian Dao and righteousness are for. Dao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang. Life and death, mastering good and bad luck, grasping the operation of heavenly principles, and history's surplus and deficiency."
"However, the correct path is often confusing. When facing choices on the path of life, you must carefully consider and don't choose the wrong path! Therefore, ghost paths represent wrong paths. Wrong paths give people a good feeling at first, but the more you go, the more you go. You will find that the more evil it is, the demons, ghosts, and demons dance wantonly. At the beginning, the way of heaven and humanity feels really difficult to walk, and people feel very confused, but the more you go, you will find that the sky is turbulent, and everything is for me. use!"
"Then your deduction?" Old Wang asked.
Four words came out of his mouth firmly: "Ghost Dojo!"
"Huh!" A gust of cold wind hit, and the soul-calling flag was so excited that it seemed to have met a proud opponent, it rolled wantonly, and the direction of the flag fluttering was facing Cha Wenbin.
Buddha has temples, Taoism has Taoist temples, Christianity has churches, and all religions in the world have their own buildings. Since ghosts have some incense and can still be passed down to this day, they should also have their own headquarters.
Whether it is the layout or Fengshui here, it is very in line with the academics of this way, that is, the extreme cathode evil.
In the past, it seemed that going against the way of heaven and the way of humanity was outrageous, evil spirits, and should be punished, just like the extermination of ghosts that the Maoshan Sect was good at, but they rarely took measures.Because they think that since you are dead, you should return to another world, what are you doing here?However, Zha Wenbin's Zhengtian Dao is not like this. His sect pays more attention to "inaction".
This is a word his master often talks about, and it is also the ultimate goal of people who seek the Tao in the world. "Wuwei" is "Wuji", and there are very few people who can break through Taiji, let alone Wuji.
In Cha Wenbin's view, "inaction" does not mean doing nothing and acting rashly, but to guide our daily actions with the fundamental principles of the human way, and to help people find ways to conform to nature and follow the objective development of things. law.In the face of the laws of nature, people should not act rashly.The operation of heaven and earth follows the Tao, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, the Tao follows the nature, conforms to the laws of nature, and does not talk about worldly fame and arrogance, so as to calm the mind, wash away distracting thoughts, and get rid of it. False views, cultivate your own character, and then you can do what you want.At this time, the way of humanity is no longer the way of humanity, but the way of heaven.
The so-called reincarnation, in Cha Wenbin's view, is nothing more than a humane pursuit of a concept of self-comfort and self-restraint. Simply put, "reincarnation" is dominated by time and space.
Man, because of the control of time, he has to experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, and cannot escape pain and troubles. Because he is bound by space, he has no way to move freely. He has to walk according to the ground, and cannot fly freely.Why?Because he did not get rid of the constraints of time and space.
Time and space are what we call the sixth consciousness - "distinguishing consciousness"; the seventh consciousness - "attachment". Because we have a strong concept of time and strong space constraints, we are forever bound in the cycle of life and death. of ordinary people.
And Zhengtiandao means to break through the self-cognition of space and time, break the shell that has been restraining the self, and find a new world just like Pangu opened the world back then.Breaking it is easier said than done. Since life and death are the laws of nature, people must also be subject to them, so some people try to escape through longevity.
But in the past five thousand years, we have heard that a certain person lived for three hundred years, and a certain person lived for five hundred years, but have you ever seen someone who has lived from five thousand years ago to the present?No, even a person who has lived for two hundred years is not in our existing data.
Since this physical change cannot be broken, one must pursue a breakthrough at the spiritual level, that is, after death.Some people seek decent reincarnation in the next life by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, while others find another way by doing evil.
Tai Chi is only a description within the scope of our understanding and exploration, so yin and yang are opposite, and good and evil are both!What if it goes beyond Tai Chi?Cha Wenbin dare not imagine, this is contrary to everything he has learned, what kind of world is there on the edge of Wuji and Taiji!
When Cha Wenbin looked at the big ghost seal on the summoning banner, he thought of the man on the lake. He used these words himself to make those Di people unable to stand up forever, and why didn't he kill them with the soul-killing nail The man in red?
Righteousness and evil, the way of ghosts and the way of heaven, this is the first time he has been shaken!
Righteousness and evil are two extremes. When the ultimate of evil is surpassed, what will it be?Is it right?
Thinking of this, Cha Wenbin suddenly had a bold idea: "Old Wang, we may not die!"
As soon as Lao Wang heard this, he was like a dying fish lying on a rock in summer being sent back to the cool water. Cha Wenbin's Taoist robe asked: "Are they willing to let us go?" Lao Wang heard that this is a ghost dojo, so he almost carried it back at that time. Among the ghosts who appeared before and after, which one is easy to provoke? ?Not to mention coming to other people's old den, it's not like meat buns beat dogs and never return!
Zha Wenbin's consciousness began to blur, and he didn't know why he had this kind of thought. This kind of thought was terrible. It was a re-subversion of Zhengtiandao's cognition and violated the ancestral precepts. He quickly recited it silently in his heart. Meditation mantra.
When everything returned to the howling cold wind, Cha Wenbin took a deep breath, looked up at the sky that was about to be covered by dark clouds again and said: "Light the torches, stand in the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and everyone Take the torch as the unit, and keep watch until dawn. Before the sun rises, you are not allowed to open your eyes. No matter what you hear or feel. Even if someone is singing beside you or tickling you, Don't open your eyes, just sleep. There are three talismans here, which are your natal talismans. I will make them according to your birth date. As long as the talismans are not lost, everyone will be safe tonight."
If you don’t listen, you have to listen, and if you don’t want to do it, you have to do it. This is the charm of Cha Wenbin. No one has ever raised any objections to his words. He also had to take his own talisman and run to his own place, because he, Zha Wenbin, was the pillar here.He had to wait until dawn, and only by waiting until dawn could he be sure to open that lock and open that unknown world.
The day is theirs and the night is theirs.
Cha Wenbin walked lightly under the summoning banner, a feeling of deja vu came over him, have you seen it?He swore he hadn't seen anything other than those earthworm-like twisted characters.
The fleshy face on the ground was still asleep, innocent like a child, he never knew what fear was, and he never knew what betrayal was, the purest fear in the world was nothing more than that.
Cha Wenbin was holding a lighted incense in his hand, shaking it gently at his nostrils, and said with a smile: "Wake up, big brother."
The fleshy face may feel a little itchy, and he kept digging his nostrils with his fingers. After a sneeze, Cha Wenbin was looking at himself with a smile.
"Woke up?"
The meaty face scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm sleeping soundly, what's the matter, brother Wen Bin? I'm drinking and eating meat with someone in my dream."
Cha Wenbin handed him a life talisman that belonged to him. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he gives it or not. Even the most evil thing in the world cannot occupy his heart. This has been proved by Shi Po. Their desire is the reason why they can succeed.
"Here, sleep under the torch in the corner over there. It's warmer over there. It's windy and cold here. Let me take over."
He looked at the other three with their fleshy faces, sitting cross-legged or sleeping on their sides.He never asked why, because Cha Wenbin was Zhuo Xiong's elder brother, and if Zhuo Xiong listened to him, he had to listen to him too.
Holding his torch, he soon went back to sleep, licking his lips from time to time, as if he had tasted more wine and meat.Zha Wenbin glanced at the four torches, his one burned the most vigorously, while Lao Wang's was a little dim in comparison.
When they all fell asleep, at least with their eyes closed, Cha Wenbin took a jug of wine and sat on the cold boulder where the fleshy face had slept. Looking at each other, drinking a sip, and living life recklessly.
When the wind blows, the robe moves.
If you decide to go, the hardest part of traveling is over.
Spreading his palm, Cha Wenbin poured his own blood on the stone, and the crater blasted out by the bullet quickly filled a bowl.Since I am righteous and you are evil, let me sacrifice the blood of righteousness to your banner!
拔剑而起，虎啸龙吟，七星剑剑锋带血，查文斌如同天神一般砍向招魂幡……
第一缕阳光洒在他们四个人的脸上，眼皮受到光线的刺激开始微微抖动，这一夜他们泪流满面。
没有人知道怎样去还原这个夜，如果有人说听到过鬼的哭声，那么他们就是在这种声音中待了整整一夜，伴随着的还有查文斌不停重复的那句：日出之前不要睁眼。
招魂幡已经被砍翻在地，如同一块破碎的抹布，原本猩红的大字此刻血迹干涸之后已成了黑色。
幡上有人蜷缩着，不知是死是活，满地的符纸还在诉说着昨晚的壮烈，原本那块让横肉脸平躺着的大石也早已被炸开，一个黑漆漆的大洞里还在冒着缕缕青烟。
超子把查文斌抱在怀中，查文斌七窍流出的血都凝结成了黑色的血块，鼻孔中还尚有一丝温热的气息。
孤独与绝望是此刻每一个人都能感受到的，苍凉与悲伤弥漫在这片曾经郁郁葱葱的竹林。
老王推着手里的注射器，这里面是保命的强心针。此时，查文斌的脉搏已经相当微弱了。无线电的信号如同被人给屏蔽了一般，在这儿他甚至无法向自己的总部求援。
所有人都呆呆的，是的，没有了他，这支队伍就找不到方向，没有了他，这支队伍就失去了灵魂。
查文斌太累了，累到以至于他闭上眼睛便再也不想醒来了，太累了，就这样一直睡下去该多好。他走在一条开满鲜花的小路上，黄色的泥土有着浓郁的家乡气味，闻着花香四溢，看着彩蝶起舞，前方便有一座小拱桥，他甚至能听到桥下流水的声音。
在桥的那一头，有一位白发苍苍的阿婆正在向自己招着手，手里还端着一碗热气腾腾的汤。他也饿了，饿到迫不及待地想冲过去，那位阿婆看上去是那样慈祥。
“文斌，文斌，你不能走！”他听见自己的耳旁有人在喊，回头看看，除了白茫茫的一片再也没有其他，他只好继续往前赶，再走几步便能喝到热汤了，因为他太冷了。
“文斌哥，你醒醒啊，文斌哥！”咦？是超子和卓雄的声音，在哪儿呢？怎么这儿前面都看得清清楚楚，转过身去看却是白茫茫的雾？
走到桥前面，查文斌的右脚突然落不下去了，他只觉得这个地方好像什么时候来过，很熟悉，但又偏偏不是这个样子，就是想不起来。
对面那位婆婆还在向自己招手呢，嘴里不停地说着：“来、来、来。”
去还是不去？查文斌犹豫了。
突然，他只觉得胸口一热，不，应该说是发烫。
他把手缓缓伸进胸口，是那块太阳轮！它很烫！
查文斌只觉得很奇怪，这东西带在身上，一直都是冷冰冰的，怎么会烫呢？
当他拿出来准备看一看的时候，耀眼的白光一闪，几乎让他睁不开眼睛。转瞬间，整个世界再次陷入一片黑暗。
当他再次睁开双眼的时候，哪里还有什么鲜花小路？四周全是白幡，横七竖八地躺着，到处都是飘荡的纸钱，而眼前那座破木桥上，一排排双眼迷茫的人正从那位阿婆手上接过碗一饮而尽。他下意识地收回了自己的脚，瞥了一眼桥头的石碑，上面是三个大字：奈何桥！
他现在也不是一个人了，在他的身边各有一“人”押着自己，他终于明白了，这是已经踏上黄泉路了！
他想走，往回走，可是腿却像是被灌上了铅水一般动弹不得。
黄泉路，以前来过，那是救别人。他知道自己终有一天也会踏上这条路，只是没想到来得如此快，如此突然。
看着两位面无表情的阴差，查文斌想想还是算了吧，早走晚走都是走，只要跨过这道桥便能看见他们了，那些逝去的亲人，可爱的女儿，他欠他们的，太多太多。
在行走的人中，有的人哭丧着脸，有的人面无表情，有的人一脸不舍，唯独他，一脸淡然，或许他真的看破生死了吧。
站在桥上，脚下是奔流滚滚的忘川河，也看不见深浅，只需再走五步台阶，便到了望乡台。据说站在望乡台上，能最后看一眼人世间，那是给你最后念想的地方。
查文斌此刻已是心无旁骛，只准备喝一碗那孟婆的汤，便去了。
可阴差说这是规矩，无论是谁，帝王也好，平民也罢，都得上去看一看，免得下了地府要还愿，不如现在就瞅上一眼。
也罢，查文斌想想还是站了上去。
这是一个不起眼的小土堆，据说脚下是用家乡的泥土铺着的，谁站上去就会成为谁的家乡。
查文斌站了上去，只回眸一看，便看见自己的那四个兄弟正围坐在那招魂幡下大哭。查文斌欣然一笑：还好，你们都还活着，赶紧出去吧，这儿不是人该来的地方。
再一看，画面已成了一所学校，有一位年轻的姑娘正抱着一个满头鲜血的孩子急匆匆地跑出校园。
查文斌的眉头一皱，等等，这不是冷怡然冷姑娘吗，那孩子是？
不，这不正是自己的儿子吗？What's up with him?怎么都是血？不行，我要去看看！
回头还有路吗？没有了，这是黄泉路，这条道只能向前走，不能向后退，不然地府里面不是乱了套了？
一旁的孟婆正在催着他赶快下来喝汤，后面还有很多人排队呢。这样的人，她见得太多了，哪一个人在见到亲人围着自己尸体哭得肝肠寸断的时候，不想再回去活上几年？
“不！我要回去，我要回去尽一个做父亲的责任！我还得活着！”查文斌在望乡台上呐喊着，可是他已经过了奈何桥，这里是阴间界了，有多少王侯将相都曾站在这块小小的乡土上这样呐喊过，可又有几人能够如愿呢？
规矩，是不能容你篡改的，否则便是乱了轮回，乱了天道！
查文斌真的有些不舍了，原本他以为他真的看淡了，哪知那儿还有自己的儿子，还有自己的亲人，已经失去了女儿，还要再失去他吗？
No!我要活着！
见他在上面站得太久，两位阴差便请他快点下去，见他迟迟不动，便亮出了锁魂勾！
“没有人可以拦得住我，包括阎王老子！”
一个阴差毫不客气地说道：“你已经死了，这里是阴间，别再磨蹭了，快点下来。你这样的人，我们见得多了！”
查文斌翻出大印，作势就要拍打，不料那阴差哈哈一笑道：“你以为这样就行了？若是如此便可重生，你的那些师祖们怕早已活了几千年了。活着的时候我们还惧你三分，人死灯灭，又何来的道？别抵抗了，早点进去吧，你虽是死于非命，但又不同常人，手上的东西奈何不了我们，也救不了你，乖乖地跟我们走！”
查文斌冷笑一声：“若是这样，小道便得罪了！”说罢，手中一纸黄符便飞了过去。
一切都不是他所想，这张符咒像是一张厕所里的草纸一般，甚至比不上一片破树叶，轻飘飘地便落在了地上，毫无反应。
“啪！”一个阴差将手中的降魂幡狠狠地砸在了查文斌的脑门上，他只觉得自己的灵魂都要被震碎了。
吃了一记闷棍，查文斌这才明白，这儿不再是他的世界了。命魂一去，一切都化为了梦幻泡影，认命吧，或许真到该结束的时候了。
他颤颤巍巍地接过孟婆汤，手抖得厉害，再看一眼奈何桥，查文斌心想罢了罢了，来世再见了。
就在他举碗准备一饮而尽之时，突然左手握着的太阳轮猛地一热，烫得他撒手就想扔，却怎样都扔不掉。温度越来越高，似乎要把整只手都给燃烧起来，他痛苦地大叫着，那是来自灵魂深处的大叫，无名的业火在燃烧着他的心脏，在燃烧着他的魂魄。
“啊……”他痛苦地呐喊着，在奈何桥头翻滚着，手中的孟婆汤早就不知被扔向何处，所有人的亡魂都在这一刹那被眼前的白色亮光遮住了眼睛，所有的阴差都在这一刻匍匐到了地上。
沈渊湖畔，方竹林，查文斌的尸首上方，一片黑云和白云交织在了一起，不停地旋转着，旋转着，一枚巨大的太极图案云图慢慢集结，慢慢地向下压。
滚滚红尘东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。
查文斌的眼前便是忘川河，如今他便站立在这阴阳两界的河边，只是他再也没有机会回到桥的那一头了。
因为黄泉是没有回头路的，这一点查文斌自然是清楚万分，但是他还知道这忘川河的另外一个秘密：
一些痴情人为了来生再见今生最爱，可以不喝孟婆汤，那便须跳入忘川河，等上千年才能投胎。千年之中，你或会看到桥上走过今生最爱的人，但是言语不相通，你看得见他，他看不见你。千年之中，你看见他一遍又一遍地走过奈何桥，喝过一碗又一碗的孟婆汤，又盼他不喝，又怕他受不得忘川河中千年的煎熬之苦，受不得等待的寂寞。
喝孟婆汤，了前尘旧梦，断前因后果。忘尽一世浮沉得失，一生爱恨情仇，来生都同陌路人相见不识；跳忘川河，污浊的波涛之中，为铜蛇铁狗咬噬，受尽折磨不得解脱。
千年之后若心念不灭，还能记得前生事，便可重入人间，去寻前生最爱的人。
但是有一个办法却可以，那便是跳入忘川河。
据说在奈何桥还没建造之前，这儿便是通向阴间的必经之路，只要你想轮回投胎，就必须得过这条河。
那时候的忘川河还有另外一个名字叫作“三途河”。
三途河也叫作三途川。传说中，“三途河”是生界与死界的分界线。因为水流会根据死者生前的行为，而分成缓慢、普通和急速三种，故被称为“三途”。
就像生与死只有轮回可以跨越一样，渡过“三途河”的方法也只有一个，那就是“三途河”上的渡船，除此之外别无他法。
然而渡船是要付船费的，没有路费的魂魄将不能登上渡船，就算登上了，也会被船夫丢进“三途河”。这也就是后来为什么人死之后，我们一定要在他的棺木前放一个盆烧纸钱。
但凡是来悼念的亲人朋友，都须诚心地烧上一沓纸钱，便算是给他们的过路费。那香烛也主要是孝敬阴差和船夫的，烧的人一定要心诚，所以往往都是跪下来烧的。
那些无法渡河的魂魄在轮回欲望的驱使之下，会涉水渡河，但是“三途河”的河水不但没有浮力，而且还具有能够腐蚀魂魄的剧毒。那些下水的魂魄将永远没有上岸的机会，只能变成“三途河”里的水鬼。
永远无法转生的痛苦和彻骨冰冷的河水使那些水鬼对其他还有轮回希望的灵魂产生了妒忌，只要有魂魄落水，它们就会一拥而上，将其拉入河底也变成和它们一样的水鬼。
所以自从有了奈何桥，便再也无魂下这忘川河，因为这里边的罪实在是没哪个魂能受得了的，即使有少部分人知道这儿的那个千年传说，也大多熬不过此等岁月，人的灵魂早就被无尽的痛楚折磨得支离破碎。
查文斌此刻便站在桥头，内心深处有一股意念在指引着自己走向河边，无数的冤魂在下面撕心裂肺地号叫着，十殿阎罗无不鬼哭狼嚎，犹如罗刹再现。
“扑通”一声，他一头栽进了血水滚滚的忘川河，转瞬便消失在了河流之中。只留下河道两岸一簇簇的彼岸花还在风中摇曳，它们开得是那样鲜红，这也是黄泉路上唯一的色彩，被誉为“火照之路”，魂魄就踏着这些花儿通向幽冥地狱。这也是长明灯的另外一个由来，油枯灯灭，花谢人亡！
在翻滚的忘川河里，查文斌只觉得自己身上钻心地痛，被包裹在一圈白色的亮光之中。那些相遇的恶鬼纷纷躲避，有的来不及闪躲瞬间便化成了一缕青烟。
挣扎中，他看到一个道士模样的男子正坐在一条船的船头，身披蓑衣，单手持着钓竿，却不见线上有钩子。
这落水之魂，岂容得它逃？
无数阴差驾着帆板犹如恶鬼一般从上游急速而下，眼看就要追上查文斌，不料那道士模样的青衣男子却将手中的竿一扬一提，查文斌便被他给钓上了船。
“去吧，以我忘川三千渡，换你阳间十年命！”说罢，那青衣道人大手一挥，查文斌如同断了线的风筝再次栽进了忘川河……
天不知何时又再次黑了下来，一黑一白两朵云彩开始剧烈地碰撞着，闪电如同蛟蛇一般在天空肆意挥舞，轰鸣的雷声轰炸着每一个人的耳膜。
下雨了，黄豆般的雨点如同冰雹一般砸向他们每一个人的脸庞。
无声的哭泣，泪水与雨水混为一体，再也没有人能分得开。
超子的双膝已经麻木，他不信他的文斌哥就这样离他们而去，他是那样无所不能，他怎么可能会这样寂静地死去，暴尸荒野！
“他走了！超子，你起来！他已经走了，我们不能再让文斌淋雨了，你起来！”老王的喉咙已经沙哑了，这样的劝阻已经持续了整整一天。超子就这样跪在查文斌的尸首面前，不曾离开半步，旁人也别想靠近半步。
卓雄和横肉脸也如木桩一般分跪在两旁，这三个人已经任凭风吹雨打，不吃不喝整整一天了。
老王明白，再这样下去，他们永远都不会走出这片林子，将会全部埋葬在这里。不是他舍得查文斌离去，而是眼下最重要的任务是活着，也只有活着才对得起文斌的牺牲。
他苦口婆心地劝道：“孩子，我知道你们难受，我也难受，但是文斌走了，我们还要活着，我们还要继续，听我的劝，我们要一起带着他离开这儿，让他落叶归根才是当务之急啊！你们不能再这样了，就是文斌在九泉之下，他也不能安息啊！”
“滚！你给我滚！”这是超子今天说的第一句话，双手被他紧紧地攥成了拳头，骨头捏得“咯咯”作响。
“我……”老王一时语塞，他明白超子心里怨恨什么，但他还是说道，“回去之后，要打要骂我随你们的便，但是眼下我们真的不能再拖了，快点起来吧！”
“你要是怕死，可以先走，没人会拦着你。”连一向说话稳健的卓雄都说出了这句话，老王知道他们完了，在失去查文斌之后就彻底完了，一支没有灵魂的队伍注定是行尸走肉，任何一个风浪就能把他们掀翻。他缓缓闭上眼睛心中默念道：文斌啊，等等我们，兄弟几个很快就下来陪你。
不知何时，天空开始放晴，当乌云散去，天的边际出现了一抹晚霞。连片的火烧云看似要将湖水都烧干，映红了天际，也映红了每一个人的脸。只可惜此等良辰美景再无人有心欣赏。他们三人还在查文斌跟前跪着，只有老王在一旁默默地烧着纸钱，虽然那也是从文斌的包里翻出来的。
也不知是雨水还是汗水，从超子的发尖汇聚成了一个晶莹的水柱，透过它，夕阳是那样美。这滴水珠挂在他的发尖已经摇摇欲坠，几次想落却没能落下，就像他们不舍得查文斌离开一样，它也不舍得。
老王嘴里一边念叨着文斌你一路走好，一边添着新的纸钱，地上的纸灰已经烧了厚厚一层，个别纸钱尚未烧得完整，他便拿了小棍子去挑一把。就这样一挑，也不知是哪儿突然起了风，一张还在燃烧着的冥币呼呼地就往天上飞去，他也跟着站了起来，一直看着，看着……
“滴答！”超子额头那一滴汗水终于落了下来，恰好落在了查文斌的嘴角，如果有人看见，一定会发现地上的查文斌嘴角微微抽动了一下。
“咚！”这个汉子再也撑不住了，倒向了查文斌的怀里……
