Chapter 52: The Darkness That Runs Through History Books
In the twelfth year of Jiajing's reign, there was a rebellion by Hei Yi in the Forbidden City. Not long after the birth of Emperor Jiajing's first child, he encountered Hei Yi and died in October during continuous heavy rains. He was granted the title of Prince Aichong.
Things like Heiyi do not belong to gods or practitioners, but to unknown auras. Therefore, the national prestige and Doulao's starlight cannot act on such things that are not even ghosts.
"皚气" means disaster and evil atmosphere.
When evil spirits appear, evil spirits will arise. Its shape is like a hazy mist, which changes based on the five elements. It has no fixed attributes and often appears as "black evil spirits".
Black Eyes have appeared many times, throughout history books, originating in the Han Dynasty, in the Tang and Song dynasties, and in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It is like a dark shadow floating behind the entire history, and it is very strange.
The most famous thing in modern Ming Dynasty is the "Ten Days of Blood Rain" that happened in the 10th year of Zhengde. This incident was reversed. There were swindlers pretending to be black and using the strange phenomenon of the Ten Days of Blood Rain to defraud money. As a result, they met a real person who transformed into a human being.
Hei Yi, the liar was naturally killed by Hei Yi. The people thought that Hei Yi was a good man who could slay demons and defend the law. When Hei Yi left that town, the whole town was turned into a sea of fire that night, and no one survived.
Immediately afterwards, Hei Yi seemed to take root in the Forbidden City, wandering around from time to time, and Tiancao Yinsi could not catch him. He was not afraid of swords and ignored water and fire, which made people in the palace panic for a while. However, Emperor Jiajing's second prince, Prince Zhuang Jing, later
He also became seriously ill.
At that time, Shao Yuanjie, the master of Longhu Mountain, was old and had difficulty suppressing and expelling the weird things in the palace. Shao Yuanjie's treatment was ineffective, so he recommended Tao Zhongwen to the emperor.
Tao Zhongwen, now known as Ming Ting, called him the greatest demon Taoist in the world. At that time, he claimed to be the successor of the Shenxiao sect of Taoism.
Tao Zhongwen used talisman water to spray his sword, which eliminated the evil spirit in the palace and cured Prince Zhuang Jing from chicken pox.
However, this incident was the beginning of Jiajing learning about the curse.
Tao Zhongwen learned that the eldest son of Emperor Jiajing, Prince Aichong, died within a few months of his birth in the twelfth year of Jiajing. Combined with the incident of Prince Zhuangjing this time, Tao Zhongwen observed Prince Zhuangjing and told Emperor Jiajing, you
I have been under a curse, and this curse was brought about by Hei Yi.
If the two dragons do not meet each other, if they do meet, they will surely die.
As long as Jiajing lives, the prince will die. Prince Zhuang Jing seems to be fine, but in fact the source of the curse has not been cut off.
However, the good times did not last long, and Tao Zhongwen traced the source of the demonic atmosphere in the palace to no avail. In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, Tao Zhongwen, the Great Demon Dao, discussed with Emperor Jiajing and concluded that Prince Zhuangjing was destined to die and could not be saved, so he ordered the eunuch to
They sent the prince's treasures to the palace of Emperor Longqing, who was not the prince at that time.
Later, as expected, on the day when Prince Zhuang Jing came out to study and give lectures, he fell ill and died, and the position of crown prince passed to the later Emperor Longqing.
In order to prevent the sudden death of Emperor Longqing at that time, Tao Zhongwen used a kind of evil magic. It cannot be said to break the curse, but it can only be said to use extreme means to deal with the extreme curse!
Emperor Longqing's younger brother later wanted to compete with him for the position of prince, but he also died suddenly.
This is the method Tao Zhongwen used to deal with the curse.
"The descendants extend the law."
Except for Emperor Longqing, all his brothers died, and only he survived as a true dragon. Tao Zhongwen placed the lives of others on Emperor Longqing, causing the yang pole to generate yin, and then reversed the yin and yang, so that the curse would be reversed again,
That is to say, to the royal woman, the yin life is replaced by the yang life.
However, this curse could not be lifted. Later, when Emperor Longqing and his concubines were doing group sports, the Yin Qi recoiled, causing him to become physically uncomfortable, and he eventually burped.
As a result of rebelling against yin and yang, Emperor Wanli who succeeded Longqing had almost all his daughters die when they were born, with only two daughters alive. This is the consequence of rebelling against yin and yang. The yang ones live and the yin ones take their place. Of course,
, since women are not real dragons, there are some cases of survival.
But Tao Zhongwen told Emperor Jiajing that although your descendants borrowed their lives, when they were saved, they found that their names were missing from the Three Laws Book of the Underworld.
existed.
Needless to say, this strange phenomenon is still a matter of magic.
This curse is absorbing the "emperor's order" from the Yang world. Of course, this emperor's order is not the emperor himself. Emperor Jiajing also had this doubt. Tao Zhongwen responded that the reigning emperor will not be harmed because the real dragon is like the extreme sun. The curse
It is extremely yin. Extreme yin and extreme yang are in balance. To break the balance, we can only start with "weak yang" such as "hidden dragon".
Emperor Jiajing asked Tao Zhongwen how much skill it would take to collect the souls of the Tian family and even remove them from the underworld?
Tao Zhongwen just said that he was far from having such ability. He neither knew the opponent's purpose nor how to fight back. Later, while tracing the clues, Tao Zhongwen calculated that the source of the black fire was Dongyue Temple.
There is something under the temple. However, this temple was built by Zhang Liusun, the great master of Xuanjiao during the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Jiajing's first reaction was to demolish it, but Tao Zhongwen frankly said that this temple could not be demolished and could not be demolished.
Moreover, this temple was located here. Tao Zhongwen found something strange. That is, Dongyue Temple seemed to be a "stronghold" for attracting something, but on the original layout, a new layer of layout was added. This layer of layout is the town seal.
This technique can make the previous formation invalid.
So Dongyue Temple became an ordinary sacrificial temple.
These two formations were both made by the great master of Xuanjiao, which means that he first released them to guide them, and then released them to seal them.
But now, the formation below has actually taken effect, but the formation above has not been destroyed. This strange phenomenon, Tao Zhongwen said, is that the person being attracted has found this formation and is trying to establish contact from somewhere far away.
, so it is a reverse formation.
Of course, nothing can be excavated by ordinary digging techniques, and he is afraid of causing problems if he blows it up. Tao Zhongwen admitted frankly that his ability is certainly not as good as that of the great master of Xuanjiao, so Tao Zhongwen thought of a way and asked Emperor Jiajing to move it from Zhenwu Mountain.
He built a statue of Bai Mian Zhenwu and suppressed the problems here with the "Hongwu Technique of Welcome God".
However, the white-faced Zhenwu is not a simple thing. Tao Zhongwen said bluntly at the time that the white-faced Zhenwu was used to block the Dongyue Temple, which was to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. This thing seemed to have a greater use, and it was not originally in Zhenwu Mountain.
But once it was brought, it was brought, regardless of whether it was suppressed or something. Since it can be taken away by Zhenwu Mountain, I, the Ming Dynasty Emperor, cannot take it?
Taoist priests can touch it, but emperors cannot?
But the emperor was also a Taoist priest.
Tao Zhongwen and Emperor Jiajing built a "Grand Gaoxuan Hall" with a Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Dharma Thunder Altar inside. This is the home of the cardinal Shenxiaofa. The Forbidden City is the extreme yang, while the Dongyue Temple is the extreme yin. The collision of yin and yang leads to fertility.
Thunder, thunder in turn suppresses evil spirits, so fasting and praying are always performed to circulate the thunder cardinal and protect the Forbidden Palace.
