The emperors of the Chinese dynasties have believed in Buddhism and believed in the Tao, but the only purpose is to live forever. It is believed that after the monastic cultivation of The Buddha reaches a certain level, it will become "immortal." And there will be magic and spells. In fact, not only the emperor, but also ordinary people. It's just that you can't do it with the same fanfare as the emperor. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were very good, and many emperors died of indiscriminate Dan medicine, including Li Shimin. The following matter is also related to Taoism, related to the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that in the twelfth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, in a certain county of Yangzhou. There was a man named Zhu Guang'an. The place where he lives is the ancestral home. Zhu Guang'an felt as if he had collided with some gods. Strange things often happened in the ancestral house, and in just a few years, his wife, children, servants, etc., all died, leaving Zhu Guangan alone in the family. Zhu Guang'an was afraid that he would die one day in vain, and in desperation, Zhu Guang'an could only sell his ancestral home to Qin Ying, a native of the same county. Qin Ying also knew that many people died in this house, but he bought it because the house price was cheap. It is also strange that Qin Yingshengzhong moved into Zhu Guang'an's ancestral home with his wife and children for only three or four years, and the people in the family died almost the same, Qin Ying was also scared to death, and had to sell at a lower price, but the problem is that now the whole county knows that this house is a murderous house, and the owner is unlucky. No one dares to buy it.
Of course, there are also bold people in this world, this Yangzhou has a bully named Youyin, who is a county magistrate, but behind him there is a group of thugs, often doing some extortion, killing people and goods. A violent gang was formed. In today's parlance, it's the underworld. You Yin lives on the same street as Qin Ying. On this day, when You Yin was passing by the door of Qin Ying's house, he saw a green gas on the roof of Qin Ying's house, straight into the clouds. Yu yin can look at feng shui, and after careful observation, Yu Yin can see that there may be treasures buried in the ground of this house. But the previous owner was not blessed, but he would die because of the baby. And qingqi is the essence of the baby, and the baby is now rushing out of the essence, which means that the baby is going to appear in the world. Of course, this kind of green qi was only visible to him.
Just when You Yin was thinking about how to take the house for himself, he saw that Qin Ying wanted to sell the house at a low price. You Yin bought it along the way, and after Qin Ying moved away, You Yin couldn't wait to move in. Yu Yin looked at the room again and found that the green qi was bubbling up from the center of the hall and rising. Yu Yin was very excited and felt that he was going to make a fortune. That night, he let a dozen little brothers start planing at the place where the green qi came out, and kept planing. When the people dug to a depth of seven or eight feet and found a stone slab, they removed the stone slab and revealed a stone cabinet. Everyone lifted the stone cabinet up with all hands and feet.
This stone cabinet has a peculiar shape. There are several iron cables tied to the stone cabinet, and what is even more strange is that the gaps in the stone cabinet are all poured with iron juice and are not ventilated. The six sides of the stone cabinet are printed with seven large purple seals, the text is a big seal, these handwriting Youyin naturally do not know, Youyin let people open the stone cabinet, the little brothers spent several hours to open the stone cabinet. Yu Yin personally went to open the lid of the stone cabinet and saw that there was a large copper pot inside, and there was a copper plate upside down on the pot, and the gaps were all cast with molten iron, which could not be opened at all, and on the copper plate, there were nine large seals on it. These seals are all ancient seal characters. Yu Yincai was fascinated, and let people chisel open the gap to take the copper plate away, and then saw that there was silk underneath. Yuin reached out to uncover the silk. Everyone held their breath and stared at each other, afraid of missing any detail.
As soon as You Yin lifted the silk, a large monkey actually jumped out of it, which was actually a living creature, which was really unexpected. The monkey seemed to be frightened and made a sharp cry. Immediately, they disappeared in smoke, and everyone went back to see what else was in the copper pot. Everyone saw that there was a small stone slab in the copper pot, on which were carved a few lines: "On July 15 of the first year of zhenming, Bao Zhiyuan, a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, locked up a magic monkey here." If anyone opens the stone cabinet and releases the magic monkey, the whole world will be under the heavens, and the person who opens the stone cabinet will be punished by the destruction of the whole clan."
Zhenming was the era name of Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen Hou, and was the king of the fallen kingdom. When Zhang Li saw these words, his heart was hairy, and he hurriedly asked people to still bury the stone cabinet, level the ground, and restore the original state. And the little brother who wants to be present keeps it a secret. Unexpectedly, as Maoshan Daoist Bao Zhiyuan wrote. After 117 years, in the winter of the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out into great chaos in the world. The prosperity of the Sheng Tang Dynasty was suddenly in vain. But just the year after Yu Yin opened the stone cabinet, all the people of the stone cabinet died, and the house became a death trap, and no one dared to live in it from now on, and finally the house collapsed.
I am clear water, the watchman of history. Looking forward to your attention and comments.
