Chapter 152 Shocking News
Qian Xuanzi lived in an example of a very chaotic page in modern Chinese history. All kinds of people took the goal of saving the nation as a chicken's arrow and were doing things to poison Chinese culture. The whole country was like a huge gasoline barrel. It is said that later, some people used several fake bombs to force a county to return to the anti-military army. It can be seen that the Beiyang government was no longer able to manage some areas at that time, so some foreigners heard the news that they came to China from all over the world to make money and seek treasures.
In the eyes of foreigners, China is extremely mysterious, and the most mysterious thing in China is its local religion Taoism. Therefore, there are a group of foreigners who are very enthusiastic about various things in Taoism. At that time, some countries like to expand and were particularly attentive to the treasures of ancient countries. For some reason, they actually learned the secret of the three orbs of the Shenxiao Sect.[]
After all, foreigners are very unfamiliar with Chinese culture. Although they have abundant resources, it is impossible to find treasures independently. Moreover, they translated that this treasure carries an extremely sinister curse and requires a strange key to be lifted.
After their multiple inquiries, they found more than a dozen descendants of the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, including Songlan and their relatives. Songlan and the other friends were upright and naturally refused the foreigners at once.
However, the relative of Songlan's second friend was bribed by a large amount of money. However, the relative's ancestor was a branch of the family and had little information. He worked with foreigners for more than half a year and only found some unimportant clues.
Just when they were almost desperate, the relative heard the news that Songlan Eryou translated the notepad. Although the relative did not know the specific matter, he could guess some.
After inquiring from many sources, he confirmed that Songlan Eryou was indeed translated something related to the Shenxiao Sect, and then brought foreigners to Songlan Eryou's house to force them to hand over the thing.
At that time, foreigners were extremely powerful on the ground in China, and a clergy from an ordinary church could instruct the county magistrate to do things. After Songlan drove away the relative, he expected that the matter would not be over easily. He was afraid that foreigners would collude with the government, so he handed the notepad and letters to a servant in the city, and gave a lot of money.
The escort was an orphan since childhood, without a wife, children and relatives, and was once a thief. After receiving a large sum of money, he quickly left the local area. Before leaving, his two friends Songlan once said that if one day after leaving, he heard that foreigners died suddenly in the city, the root of the disaster had basically been cleared. Then wait a few more months and you can come back.
At first, the escort didn't understand what it meant. In the third month after he left, more than a dozen foreigners died suddenly in the city. It is said that all had no scars. Their posture was extremely strange, as if they were doing some ritual. Later, I heard that the relative of Songlan's second friend, had died suddenly with more than a dozen family members of their family. Their death was extremely miserable, and they died of blood from Qi Kong.
The escort knew that Songlan's second friend used a trick to lure foreigners into performing a certain ritual, which attracted the evil spirits and evil spirits to kill the foreigner, and then used a certain forbidden spell to kill the relative's family. However, this method was too sinister, and the person who cast the spell would die in desperation. The relative was guilty, but the whole family might not be guilty, so Songlan's second friend would inevitably die because of using the forbidden spell.
Moreover, as long as a foreigner escaped, he would not let Songlan down. The escort waited for several months, but Songlan did not appear again. He guessed that Songlan's second friend would be in danger.
The first half of the letter from Songlan and his friends said the same as the bodyguard, the second half talked about the place where the notepad was hidden, and then another secret was told.
More than ten days later, Qian Xuanzi and a few scholars stood in front of a side hall gate, thinking about something. The few of them looked worried, and they could tell at a glance that they had encountered some problems.
The partial hall worships the Taiyi Lie of Ku Tianzun in the Ten Directions. He is the first Taoist god to save suffering. Similar to the Buddhist Guanyin and Ksitigarbha King, the mount of Ku Tianzun is a nine-headed lion with a very ferocious appearance. In the dark partial hall, the eight small heads of the nine-headed lion looked at the eight pale smiles, which made people feel chilled at first sight.
"That thing is really here?" Qian Xuanzi shook the pen on his hand. "There are people coming and going here every day. If there is such thing hidden, how can it not be discovered?"
More than ten days ago, Qian Xuanzi learned in the letter of Songlan's second friend that to uncover the mystery of the three pearls, one thing must be found. What is the specific thing? Zuoqiu's notepad did not explain it, but only the location of the hidden thing. Zuoqiu also said that there was also an extremely vicious creature hidden in the place where such things were hidden. If such things were taken away, the creature would definitely be released, so no disciple of the Shenxiao Sect had touched such things for hundreds of years.
Qian Xuanzi was young after all, and Song Lan's two friends did not dare to entrust the matter to him completely, so they wrote down the addresses of three friends from Taoist sects to Qian Xuanzi, asking them to help Qian Xuanzi. These four people were not actually Taoist priests. They were all Taoist priests. They were all Taoist priests before. After seeing the letter, although they were unsure, they did not refuse and followed Qian Xuanzi to the place where they hid.
"The Shenxiao Sect is closest to the royal family, and the means of hiding various secrets are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If we don't have this letter, wouldn't we even think it's here?" A scholar in a white shirt said: "I just looked at the atmosphere of the side palace. There is a great evil hidden under the yang aura. It must be that this is correct."
Qian Xuanzi looked carefully, but still couldn't see where the yang energy and evil spirits mentioned by the Baishi Man were. He said to an older Qingshi Man next to him: "Senior Liu, do you see anything?"
The man who was called Senior Liu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao is right, it's here. The letter says that under Taiyi's seat, there are all six evils. It should be said that that thing is among the nine-headed lion."
The white-shirted man, who was called Brother Zhao, said, "I'll just say, I'll take out the statue of the gods now, take out the things below, and the little Taoist priest took the things, and we'll send the Buddha to the West."
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as you thought." The man in the green shirt took out an iron needle from his sleeve, swayed in the void, and said, "The vicious energy here is so heavy. Even if we don't move it, it will come out in a few years." Hearing the man in the green shirt say this, everyone else, including Qian Xuanzi, changed his face, and the man in the white shirt licked his lips. It can be seen that he said he was not afraid, but he was actually nervous about the "it" than most people.
A thin middle-aged man who had not spoken next to him said, "This Taoist temple has long been gone. The Taoist priests are all drunkards. They don't care about us after giving them a few dollars. They also said they wanted to sell the statue of the god to us. We need to find helpers, but the local area may not be able to find it."
Seeing that a few people were not very motivated, the man in the white shirt lowered his head. The man in the blue shirt smiled again and said, "It is not appropriate to ask outsiders for help in this matter. Besides, with the four of us with such skills, it is difficult to find any helpers. I just think that the things in the nine-headed lion are neither demons nor ghosts, and the breath is chaotic. It would be nice if it can be conquered. Then, let's lock the door of the side hall. Brother Zhao, you can split the big head of the nine-headed lion with one palm. The three of us will adapt to the situation. The little Taoist priest should not come in. The four of us just surrounded it on all sides. If you have one more, it will be difficult to move. If there is any major accident, you can also go to the front hall to call someone."
Qian Xuanzi thought for a while and said, "Several seniors, I'd better go in together. The Taoist priests in the front hall can't help much. If there is really something wrong, I'll have to go in and help."
The man in blue shirt smiled bitterly and said, "Little Taoist, I'm going to say that the strange aura in this side hall is extraordinary. The weird things I see usually add up are not much more than here. I keep you outside just in case. Something really hurts the four of us. You can also find other helpers to investigate this matter in the future. If we are wiped out, it will be vain."
Qian Xuanzi felt that what the man in Qingshi said was indeed reasonable, but he was a little unwilling to accept it, so he said, "But...I..."
The man in white clothes was a little anxious and interrupted him, "Why don't you understand the truth? Let's go in and keep you outside. This is a perfect solution. If you don't know what's wrong with it, then Songlan and his two brothers will die in vain."
When Qian Xuanzi saw that the man in white clothes said that, he stopped talking. After seeing Qian Xuanzi agree to the pad, he pulled out a pair of gloves from his sleeve and put them on his hands. The gloves were very thick and were inlaid with many smooth metal sheets in the shape of fish scales. Under the sunlight, it was just slightly reflected, and it seemed that there was something that could absorb the sunlight.
When the man in the white shirt saw that Qian Xuanzi stopped talking, he said, "If there is something inside, don't come in later. The side hall is too small. If you come in, we will be dragged to death."
While several people were talking, a slightly fat scholar next to him had not participated in the discussion. Seeing that everyone was ready, he said, "Okay, let's go in. I have to prepare some more after entering."
About half an hour later, several people set up the side hall. The fat scholar who didn't speak turned out to be a master of mechanism and was very good at setting up crossbows. Although the side hall was not big, he also arranged more than a dozen small crossbow arrows. If there was any abnormal movement in the nine-headed lion, he only needed to move the mechanism, and these crossbow arrows could be launched instantly and shot to the location of the nine-headed lion.
After all this was arranged, several people closed the door of the side hall. As soon as the door was closed, the man in white coughed and said, "What does this taste like? Why didn't he have it just now?"
Then the man in white clothes said coldly: "Don't worry about it, split the big head quickly." Then there were a few muffled sounds in the side hall, as if the sound of using iron sand palms and other kung fu to split something.
Then there was the sound of the crossbow arrow shooting. Qian Xuanzi knew that the extremely terrifying thing must be alive and had been released. He was a little nervous, but he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, someone bumped into the gate of the side hall from inside, and then there was no sound.
