Chapter 142 Powerful and cunning
The wheels were rolling, pressing over the rammed earth ground, and the sound of questions and answers came from the carriage.
"What is the difference between Taoist instruments?"
"The metaphysical thing is called the Tao, and the physical thing is called the instrument!"
"Why is this solution?"
"The great way is invisible, so the old metaphysical things are tangible, which is the physical one."
“What should I do?”
"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for it to move; he has the great way in his heart and encourages himself at all times!"
The scholar asked urgently, and Fang Dou also answered quickly.
After asking and answering each other, I walked for several rounds in a row before I stopped.
Hongluan was holding a tea bowl next to her, and her eyes were filled with light. Fang Dou's progress was too fast and had exceeded her level.
After a long time, scholar Yan Sixian sighed slowly, "I only know today that the principle of learning is endless. Until now, what I have learned is limited and I can no longer teach you!"
It has to be said that Fang Dou is the most outstanding study seed he has seen in his life, and even only the legendary ancestors can compare with him.
It’s a pity that after spending time together, Yan Sixian understood that he was not interested in famous teachings.
Take the identification of Taoist instruments as an example. Fang Dou only wants to master the physical famous instruments, but does not want to belong to the famous Taoist Buddhism.
"What a pity, it's a pity!"
At this time, Fang Dou stood up, "Brother Yan, during this period, you have taught me all your knowledge. I am extremely grateful and I am willing to call you the Master."
"No, no!"
Yan Sixian waved his hands repeatedly, "I have limited knowledge and cannot be your teacher!"
"Although you and I don't have the name of a master or a disciple, I have the reality of a master or a disciple. Please accept my worship!"
Yan Sixian was held down and forced to accept Fang Dou and bow.
He thought to himself that Fang Dou did not forget etiquette, which shows that the teachings during this period have a subtle effect on him.
"Fang Dou, drink tea!"
Hongluan quickly stepped up and felt a little distressed, "I started studying before dawn, didn't drink a sip of water, and my throat had already dried up!"
Fang Dou took the tea bowl and said, "Give me a bowl to Teacher Yan!"
Suddenly, the carriage stopped and the curtain was lifted.
"There is the Kushui Bridge ahead, with strong winds and waves. Be careful, please get out of the car and walk!"
Fang Dou, Hongluan and Yan Sixian got off the carriage and had been waiting for a long time when they saw Qian Yuanwai.
"Several people, Kushui Bridge is no better than other places. Sometimes when the wind and waves come, the horses can wash away. We can walk along the railings, which is safer!"
When Yan Sixian heard the three words "Bits Bridge", he immediately became interested and began to quote scriptures.
“I’ve seen it in the book.”
"Originally, the river was filled with evil waves, and it swallowed pedestrians and fishermen every few days. In the rainy season, white bones rolled in the waves, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling!"
"Later, local people donated money to build this bitter bridge."
"However, after more than ten years of continuous repair, it has not been possible. It has been washed away by the river hundreds of times!"
"It is precisely because of this that a righteous act that was shockingly noticed later!"
"The local righteous man Li Er donated his own children to sacrifice and finally calmed the river."
"The bridge is built and named it 'Ku Shui Bridge'!"
Yan Sixian shook his head and said, "The common people in the countryside do not understand the great righteousness of the scriptures, but they can give up the small self as the big self, which shows the achievements of the local government's education."
Hongluan looked a little bad and asked Fang Dou in a low voice, "What is the sacrifice?"
"Buried alive!"
Fang Dou pointed under the bridge, "Living children, buried under the bridge, will never be reborn!"
"ah!"
Hongluan was so scared that her face turned pale.
"This is a stake, and the people have nothing to do with it!"
Mr. Qian came out to explain, "I used to be here when I was doing business, and the local people were suffering!"
"The river water rises dozens of times a year, not only can the fields along the coast not be planted, but also the lives of pedestrians coming and going."
"I wanted to build a bridge back then, but many people who were so poor that they only had half a pair of pants left, scraped out the last little rice in the rice jar and donated it, and gritted their teeth to build the bridge."
"Building a bridge is not that simple. It's like falling into the river, being swept away by evil waves, and countless people died."
"Every time the bridge collapses just as it is about to be built, and so many people are so desperate that they cry day and night!"
"I know later, there were experts who would give sacrifices to boys and girls to dissolve the evil spirits here."
"It was done later!"
When Qian Yuanwai talked about this past, everyone was silent.
Fang Dou came from the era, breaking the feudal superstition, similar situations have long been extinct for many years, and I didn't expect to see them here.
Hongluan couldn't help sobbing. She thought she had a pitiful life, but when she thought of the innocent child who was buried alive under the bridge and would never be reborn, she felt sad.
Yan Sixian pondered for a moment, "Sacrifice for giving up the small self and achieving the big self, this is sacrifice!"
"But, such a barbaric and backward living sacrifice should be eliminated. When I pass the imperial examination and preside over the presidency, I will definitely eliminate all the stubborn diseases!"
Mr. Qian looked outside not far away, and was covered by dark clouds. The Kushui Bridge was like a dormant beast, with evil waves rolling below, flying high, almost rushing to the bridge deck.
The bridge deck was wet, and it was very slippery when stepped on it. It was quiet around, and there was no pedestrian.
"Let's be careful."
"I heard that before, someone took a carriage across the bridge, and even the carriage was washed into the river, and it was swollen after being fished out!"
Fang Dou took the lead, Qian Yuanwai, Yan Sixian followed behind, Hongluan was protected in the middle, and grabbed the guardrail and moved forward in a small step.
The bridge was slippery and the face was filled with fine water droplets, which made people breathing difficult.
Beside me, there is a surging river water, squeezed and washed like a millstone. No matter how good the water quality is, it will not be able to survive if it falls.
Suddenly, a green light flashed on the bridge deck.
An ominous feeling came to my heart, and Fang Dou shouted quickly, and retreated quickly.
The green light came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the monster with its true appearance appeared, like a human-headed and cowed, was a bull ghost.
The bull and ghost raised their hooves and smashed them hard towards Fang Dou's chest. The drizzle around them was splashed on their bodies, as if they were physical.
A golden light shone around Fang Dou's body, wearing a big golden robe, yearning for both claws, and fighting with the bull and ghost.
Rumbled, thunder exploded on the bridge, Fang Dou flew backwards, and Niu Gui stood still.
Qian Yuanwai, Yan Sixian and Hongluan, as soon as they pushed under the bridge, they saw Fang Dou flying backwards.
The power of the bull and ghost is far beyond Fang Dou's imagination. Where did the monster come from?
"Moo!"
The bull and ghost roared, and the black smoke was shrouded under his feet, and the entire bitter water bridge vibrated.
"Brother! Wake up."
"Sister, where are we?"
"Wake up, wake up!"
Two tender voices sounded, and the source of the listening source seemed to come from the bottom of the bitter water bridge.
This is a boy and girl who sacrificed previously, who was activated by the resentment and began to reappear in the world.
The bull and ghost have the ability to control the souls. When walking in the world at night, there are hundreds of ghosts following you.
This time it took action on Kushui Bridge to take advantage of the shocking resentment of boys and girls to deal with Fang Dou.
This pair of boys and girls were buried alive in the bridge and suffocated to death. After death, they were trampled on for many years, and their resentment was already terrifyingly strong.
If there were no masters who left Fu Zhao to suppress him, there would have been a riot and persecuted pedestrians.
This time, Niu Gui came and stepped on the Kushui Bridge with one foot. He saw two runes carved on the wooden stake at the bottom of the bridge, one yin and one yang, suddenly split into two halves.
