Chapter Ten: The Secret of Deceit(1/2)
The beginning of life after time travel begins at home.
But Yu Xian has one advantage, his mentality is excellent.
Anyway, I can eat well, drink well, sleep well in the Marquis Mansion, and have no mortgage, car loan or betrothal gift loan.
The happiness index has defeated 99% of people in this world and that world.
The only thing he needs to do is to live cautiously and avoid this wave of infighting among the top officials of the dynasty with the Weiyuan Hou family.
After the Jiaofangsi murder case came to an end, the Civil Service Group temporarily ceased operations.
On the emperor's side, it was as if nothing had happened. In fact, he had never confronted the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion about this case from beginning to end, so he was considered safe.
All parties maintain a tacit understanding to maintain this delicate balance.
Let the adults take care of the big things, I am still just a child.
Early the next morning, he practiced martial arts and became familiar with the capabilities of this body. In one word, it was doubly exciting!
Who wouldn't want to have a young body, strong skin, tough muscles, and a handsome face?
According to memory and popular science in books, he currently belongs to the eighth level of martial arts, and the penultimate existence among the ninth level of martial arts.
He once thought that he was a young genius, but when he learned that his sister had reached the second level of martial arts at the age of twelve, he became emoticon.
"Your father reached the second level at the age of thirteen, and your mother was even worse than them at the age of fifteen." Mrs. Qin smoked her pipe and spoke lightly.
She and Marquis Weiyuan had such excellent genes, and the children they gave birth to had a good growing environment, and were blessed with the best medicinal materials and techniques. It was just like playing to achieve the second level of martial arts in their teens.
Yu Xian only entered the second level at the age of seventeen, and was already at the level of a crane.
"You were still lazy and playful in the past. Your father is right, I dote on you too much."
Mrs. Qin took the last puff of her cigarette, threw the pipe to the maid, then shook her hands and feet wrapped in the training clothes, nodded and said: "I will play with you today for my mother's sake, hey!"
Looking at the love on his mother's face, Yu Xian felt particularly healed...
The old lady was chanting sutras and chanting Buddhist scriptures in her room. When she heard her grandson's loud and high-pitched shouts, she sent someone to inquire.
When the servant came back after asking, he only said that Mrs. Hou was playing with the young Lord Marquis. The mother was kind and the son was filial, and they were enjoying themselves happily.
In the afternoon, I dragged my tired body to my second uncle's house next door to read and make excerpts.
He does not have the kind of photographic memory. To ensure the efficiency of reading, he must take notes.
In one afternoon, he learned everything about the system of the eight major schools.
Only in the library could I find books on the popular science and trick system.
The art of trickery was severely banned by the Dajing Dynasty, and it seems that even related books are not allowed to appear.
But the more blocked, the more curious I become.
So he went to ask his second uncle, who gave him a strange look.
"Why would you want to know this?"
"I have nothing to do, I am quite curious."
The second uncle thought that the child might be bored due to the confinement, so he thought for a moment, got up and closed the door and window.
"After the beginning of the imperial dynasty, all the books on trickery across the country were basically burned to the ground. As for the reason, I won't say much about it, and you shouldn't mention this topic to anyone outside."
"Don't worry, second uncle, I'm being cautious now."
The second uncle nodded slightly and pondered some more. Just when he was about to listen, the second uncle said: "You especially can't mention to the old lady and your father and mother that it was the second uncle who told you these things. You must agree."
Second uncle."
What a deep psychological shadow this family has caused to my second uncle.
Yu Xian solemnly promises.
The second uncle then revealed some information to Yu Xian.
"The purpose of our martial arts practice is to make the body impeccable and reach a higher state. In the same way, Confucianism and Legalism are about cultivating morality, Buddhism and Taoism are about cultivating the mind, the heavenly and earthly masters of the Tiandihui are cultivating the mind, and the shamans are cultivating the mind.
The religion believes in the power of nature.”
"After the trials and summaries of countless sages, these schools have reached the ultimate level of practice, and they can all become saints... As for the trick, they can also become saints, but the method is more special. It is essentially the art of soul refining, strengthening the soul, and finally achieving
Eternal and immortal.”
Yu Xian suddenly realized.
Simply put, all roads lead to Rome.
Some people walk, some ride horses, some drive, and some take boats.
As for the trick, it focuses on refining the soul to become a saint, and its nature is quite like a person flying directly over!
Totally cheating!
"But this school has been extremely controversial since its inception. The art of soul refining is extremely dangerous and sinister. Just imagine, if the soul can leave the body at will and possess Taoism, how can ordinary people resist it?" The second uncle's expression
with distinction.
"However, as far as I know, when Guidao was first founded, its original intention was relatively good."
The second uncle suddenly changed the topic, "Mr. Gui Mingzi, who founded the trick, hopes that all living beings will know that there is still a soul after death, and that the soul can repay kindness or revenge, so that the world can have taboos in doing things, stop fighting, stop evil, and stop killing.
Be good and follow good deeds. But it is a pity that many later deceivers not only failed to carry forward this moral principle, but went astray and caused many injustices."
Yu Xian can probably understand why Emperor Tianyuan wanted to ban the trick.
This is a practicing group that is completely free from secular laws!
This is the same as whether the knife wielder is chopping firewood and vegetables, or killing people and committing evil.
However, the nature of trickery makes this a school of thought that can easily go astray.
In addition, when talking about soul revenge, we have to mention that the Meritorious Group and Emperor Tianyuan took away countless lives in the process of conquering the world.
If it is true as what the propaganda claims, the evil ghosts who demand their lives from the rulers can circle the continent.
Based on these two points alone, the deception is destined to be blocked.
"At present, except for those countries in the north, the existence of trickery is still allowed. It is difficult to find traces of tricksters in our country of Dajing, but it does not mean that there are no hidden ones. If you find it, you must report it to the official immediately." The second uncle said seriously.
: "Even a ninth-grade trickster corpse collector can cause a lot of casualties."
"Is a ninth-grade person so powerful?" Yu Xian asked in surprise.
The second uncle said: "Corpse collectors themselves don't have much spiritual skills, and are almost the same as ordinary people. As the first stage of entering the mysterious path, they need to often deal with corpses, so as to be contaminated with the energy of accumulating souls. You can understand it as death."
gas."
"The trickster who can't stand the aura of death will be eliminated, and those who persist can practice the art of blood spirit, then find someone who is determined to die, sign a contract with each other's blood, and promise to collect the body of the deceased, and the contract will be fulfilled.
After that, the corpse collector will have the opportunity to gain psychic abilities and advance to the eighth level."
"But if the corpse collector fails to fulfill the contract, the soul of the deceased will burst out with resentment and turn into a blood spirit until the corpse collector is killed. Although the blood spirit has no actual harm, it can quietly blend into the blood of ordinary people and disrupt
People’s minds can even lead people to do evil.”
As Yu Xian listened, he felt that this blood spirit seemed like a virus.
He also noticed the word "ordinary people" and asked, "What about the practitioners?"
"It can't get into a monk's body. Even an eighth-level warrior like you, as long as the Yang Qi is enough, the blood spirit can't do anything." The second uncle said: "But ordinary warriors can't directly destroy the blood spirit, and they can't even see through it. Only you can
Only those of my parents’ level, or those of the Buddhist sect, can handle it.”
"Then what should I do if I encounter a blood spirit?"
"Either be wise and protect yourself, or kill the person parasitized by the blood spirit."
The second uncle thought for a while and then added: "Or you can learn a Buddhist method of salvation... But your father will definitely not agree. He is most annoyed by Buddhism and Taoism."
Yu Xian's heart moved.
He does not know the method of salvation.
But he can ask for salvation.
Speaking of asking for a lamp, he almost forgot to look at today's almanac.
[The third day of September in the nineteenth year of Tianyuan,
Suitable for: opening canals, making stoves, visiting patients, felling trees, sweeping houses
Taboo: Marrying, offering sacrifices, encoffining, burying, coffin moving]
In my spare time, I focus on the column that should be used today.
First rule out unrealistic efforts to dig ditches and build stoves.
There are still a lot of trees in the Hou Mansion, so it should be no problem to cut down one.
There were so many people, so I turned around and asked who was feeling unwell today.
Cleaning the house is even easier.
"Wu Que, if there's nothing else, my second uncle will be busy first."
