Chu Ying didn't even let go of the token when he was sleeping. Being disturbed by her, the others couldn't sleep either. Tang Sancheng had always been curious about the token in Chu Ying's hand: "The token is struck by lightning."
Made of aged jujube wood, the size is uniform and should be selected
Choose an auspicious day on the lunar calendar and make it according to Taoist rituals. The names of the twenty-eight constellations are engraved on the four sides of the token.
There is nothing wrong with the Eight Stars being the symbol of Taoism."
"I saw on TV that Taoist priests usually use peach wood swords, command flags, command arrows, command tokens, and other things when making altars. What are those things?" Cong Yang asked.
"You should be talking about the Tianlian ruler and the altar wood." Tang Sancheng said: "These things are what ordinary Taoist priests need to use when holding ritual orders. In fact, the practical tokens mainly draw on the ancient military use of tokens.
Use it as a command for Taoist priests when performing rituals
It is a symbol of the ghosts and gods obeying their orders. Raising the token and shouting means that the corresponding heavenly soldiers and generals can be summoned to the altar for dispatch; putting down the token and slamming the table means giving orders to the ghosts and gods, but the effect depends on it.
It depends on the Taoist priest’s ability.”
"So, if this token belongs to Taoism, then it has something to do with rituals?" Shen Bing asked curiously: "Then what's going on with the altar-suppressing wood?"
"Zhentan wood is also called Zhentan wood, Zhentan wood, Zhentan wood, Zhentan wood, etc. Its appearance is similar to a rectangular wooden block, and some are made in the form of a slightly raised top surface; the bottom surface is flat and painted vermilion. Usually, the top surface is
The four characters "All Gods Xian Ting" are engraved on the surface, and the four hexagrams Qiankun and Kanli are engraved on both ends. Some of the tops are also engraved with talismans, which can be used to suppress Taoist rituals when performing Taoist rituals.
The altar wood is usually used by high-level masters. The method of use is to pick up the altar wood with the right hand and suddenly slap it on the altar, making a loud bang. Its meaning is somewhat similar to the gavel wood in ancient Chinese official offices.
It serves as a deterrent." After Tang Sancheng finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ying who was sleeping and said, "Could it be that there is a religious practice in that place?"
"We won't know until she wakes up." Cong Yang yawned. He was obviously very sleepy, but he couldn't fall asleep because of this curiosity and was so worried.
Chu Ying slept soundly. She didn't slowly open her eyes until three o'clock in the morning. She only felt that her whole body was sore, but her mind was extremely clear. When she opened her eyes and saw everyone sitting around her, she felt a little...
Shocked: "Why are you all up?"
"Miss, it's already noon." Cong Yang said angrily.
Fu Yu was the most considerate and came over with breakfast: "Although it's almost noon, you didn't eat anything in the morning. You must be hungry."
"No, no need." Chu Ying was polite and stood up. Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, she also understood in her heart how eager these people were to know the process: "Yelang Ancient Country, I really went there.
Yes, but are those people really human?"
Such an opening sentence made everyone stunned. Chu Ying immediately laughed: "I didn't mean that. I really don't know what to say..."
Yesterday, Chu Ying followed the old nun to a secret room alone. There were some strange paintings on all sides of the secret room. Chu Ying didn't even recognize them, and she felt uneasy. This was the first time she left the team to ask for help.
Going to experience some unknown things, Chu Ying, who had been insecure since she was a child, became more and more frightened. She kept grabbing the corner of her clothes with both hands, as if the corner of her clothes was her support.
In the middle of the secret room is a desk. There is a small incense burner on the desk. There is no incense inside, only some incense ashes are left inside. The old nun asked Chu Ying to kneel in front of the desk while she took out the incense and lit it first.
, brought another oil lamp, lit the incense fire and said, "Close your eyes first, and be sure not to open them. Do you understand?"
Chu Ying nodded and immediately closed her eyes as ordered. She smelled the smell of incense, heard the old nun chanting words, and heard the sound of "swish". When Tang Sancheng heard this, he felt like something was turning on.
As for the actual significance of the burning of incense, I don’t know. It may also be just a pretext to spread suspicion, making Chu Ying think that he entered the ancient Yelang Kingdom inexplicably.
When Chu Ying smelled the fragrance, his head became heavier and heavier, as if he was about to fall asleep. Then he heard the old nun say to him: "If you are sleepy, it doesn't matter if you fall asleep."
After hearing this, Chu Ying became more and more relieved. She really fell asleep, and her whole body relaxed. The sweet smell made her feel very comfortable. She slept soundly, and she didn't remember much about what happened next. She just felt
For a while, my body was floating
Usually, after a while, she felt cold, and there was a bright light in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she was already outdoors, lying on the ground, and her eyes happened to see the moon in the sky. The light that attracted her just now attracted her to open her eyes.
The light that opens your eyes comes from the moon.
Chu Ying was startled, and fear immediately came over her. She sat up, hugged her body and looked around. This sight scared her out of her mind. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. She was lying on the bed now.
On top of a huge plant, this plant is like an octopus, with countless stems and leaves facing towards
It stretched out in all directions, like the claws of an octopus, and the shadows at night made the mountains look ferocious, and all kinds of plants looked like ghosts. Everything was extremely gloomy. Chu Ying wanted to stand up, but found that her body was stuck. She just thought
Calling for help, his body suddenly became empty and he was plunged into darkness.
The description just now gave everyone a chill in the back of their heads. No matter how you heard it, you thought it was a pregnancy tree, and the place where Chu Ying was stunned was in the center of the pregnancy tree. Does this look like the relationship between the child and the mother? Just thinking of this, everyone
It just happened to feel weird...
Besides, Chu Ying was still in shock, and something strange happened again. She just felt that her life was in danger, and she couldn't think about anything. She could only let it go. Chu Ying heard a sound of soft footsteps in the darkness, and she asked weakly
Said: "Who is it?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to guide you." The voice was very gentle. As he got closer, Chu Ying realized that she was holding a lamp in her hand, but the lamp was very dim. The person's face was covered with a black cloth, only revealing the
A pair of eyes, but judging from the body shape, this person is a woman, and her age cannot be heard in her voice.
The man held Chu Ying's hand. As soon as he touched the man's hand, Chu Ying got goosebumps. The man's hand felt a bit like tree bark, rough and hard, not like a cocoon.
That kind of hardness made Chu Ying's body shiver. Feeling the reaction of Chu Ying's body, the man said: "Didn't I say that you remember something? It seems that you don't remember the scene when you came here."
"I..." Chu Ying was speechless for a moment: "I'm sorry, I'm just surprised."
"You said the same thing when you first came here. It seems that some characteristics of people will not change after reincarnation." The voice was not angry, but still soft: "If you come back here again, maybe
It’s destined, you forgot something and it’s here, you can take it back.”
Chu Ying was led by the woman and became more and more accustomed to the environment there. She smelled a smell, something like the smell of juice secreted by plants. Slowly, Chu Ying discovered that she was actually walking in a tree trunk.
The tree trunk was hollow, completely transparent, and very huge. Chu Ying stretched out his hand and found that there was still a lot of room. Even when he stretched out his right hand, he could not touch the edge.
The woman noticed Chu Ying's actions and didn't take it seriously. She just said, "Why, have you remembered something?"
It seemed that when she was unconscious, the old nun had already told her what happened to her. Chu Ying said: "Not yet, but I have a feeling of familiarity. Is the thing I dropped... a jade ring?"
At this time, the woman was finally shocked. She sighed: "It turns out that reincarnation is real."
"Is it really a jade ring?" Chu Ying was lucky enough to be fooled and was very excited. Her intuition told her that she would find the answer here, and now she is moving in the direction she expected.
"Let's go." The woman said calmly: "Now that we're all back, is there anything else I don't want you to know?"
The further we walked, the stronger the smell here was, the smell of plants. Qixie asked Chu Ying to describe the smell. She thought about it for a long time and just said it was like the smell of juice that flows out after crushed leaves.
This kind of smell really made Qixie Lian think of nothing and had no choice but to give up.
Chu Ying followed the woman and kept walking forward. He felt that the space was getting bigger and bigger, and the smell of the plant also changed. Originally there was a fishy smell, but now there was a fragrant fragrance, and Chu Ying inhaled it.
After a breath, her mind suddenly went blank, and there was a familiar feeling, like a huge stone hitting her heart. Her heart began to contract again, and with it beating violently, the shadowy figures in front of her were shaking. Chu Ying remembered it at that moment.
everything!
Chu Ying suddenly stood still, and the woman turned around: "What's wrong?"
"I remembered, you are Tong." Chu Ying clearly called out the woman's name, and the woman looked a little excited: "You..."
"You are Tong, you were the one who led me here, right?" Chu Ying said.
"In that case, have you also remembered our contract?" Tong said: "Over the years, your descendants have been coming here as promised, but that power has become weaker and weaker."
"Could it be that I..." Chu Ying didn't know who she was anymore: "What are you going to call me now, Yuhuan? Or Chu Ying?"
"It was the same person originally." Tong said: "I only know the person standing in front of me now. When you heard about the pregnancy tree, you came here after all the hardships as a weak woman.
It's really amazing that a noble concubine has such resilience. It's a pity that although the contract was successful, you encountered unexpected events and did not allow you to give birth to a son and a half for him, and you were wandering overseas."
