Chapter 2: Leaving a Few Old Papers Behind
Zhao Zongming front foot just left, his sister-in-law heart muttered up, Zongming brother's house in the end what new things? Why won't you let people see it? Why won't they even open the door? Women's curiosity is very heavy, not to say that modern people say that curiosity can kill the cat, I'm afraid that this woman's curiosity up, enough to kill a god.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Zongming's sister-in-law finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and thought that if I don't open the door, I can always take a look inside through the window. So they went to the front of the room, reached out to open the window, the window was closed from the inside, could not be opened, Zhao Zongming's sister-in-law secretly thought that this Zongming is also a bit too careful, even the window is closed tightly, it seems that the things inside are really important. This is more let her feel curious, so stretch out the index finger dipped some spittle, in the window paper gently point, will point open a small hole, come up to the front of the one-eyed look inside, can not help but be surprised, only to see that the house is full of paper tied people, horses, weapons and other things, those paper people wearing armor, paper horse is also neatly draped, although the size of the head are very small, only the bowl of rice as big as the, but alive, such as a real person in general.
Zhao Zongming sister-in-law do not understand the reason, to get up and leave, just that the eyes just left the window paper on the hole, only to feel the air around them as if they were sucked in the general, rapidly rotating from the small hole to the house drilling, very fast speed, the wind is getting bigger and bigger, and instantly will be cracked open the window, whistling to the house to drill, the house was suddenly shouting and horse hissing chaotic, not long before you can hear the weapon! Crashing, armor touching the sound of gold and iron, the sound is mixed with more and more loud, deafening.
Zhao Zongming sister-in-law scared to rush to their own house to shout, just run out a few steps, will hear the rumbling sound, that Zhao Zongming's top of the house has been lifted out of the whole, countless paper people paper horse with weapons wearing armor flying in mid-air, in mid-air to become like a real person real horse size, densely covered more than half of the sky, look at it, it is just like a million armies flying in the mid-air in general.
At this moment, the surrounding within a hundred miles of the people were stunned by the scene in the sky, have discussed this is not the heavenly soldiers and generals to come down to earth?
Coincidentally and coincidentally, at this time the current emperor is dozens of miles away from the mountains to play, see this scene is also extremely shocked, and hastily asked under the able, the emperor's men naturally also have that person who is in possession of a strange art, pinch a finger to calculate, can not help but be shocked, and hastened to say: "Emperor, this is the folk there are strange people practicing that demonic art, tied out the paper people and paper horses have become an army, to rebel ah! "
The emperor was afraid to hear, which covered the sky with millions of people, really want to rebel, although the court also has a million troops, but this person can tie paper into an army, and so the troops can be a constant stream, and is not the court can resist? The emperor hurriedly said, "Do you have a good plan?"
The courtier who wielded a strange art counted half a day, and looked up at the sky to observe for a long time, a happy face, said: "Your Majesty's blessings in heaven, I have a strategy to break the thief."
The emperor was overjoyed, and asked, "The minister quickly said."
The courtier replied: "this paper man paper horse has not been coated with butter, if it is coated with butter, it is not afraid of water, fire is even stronger, there will be no enemy, fortunately, just paper man paper horse, to be the minister casting spells to seek rain, rain, will be able to do this paper thousands of army poured into a pile of mud."
The emperor's heart is a little bit more comfortable, urged: "that the love secretary quickly beg for rain to fall, watered these paper made of thieves army."
The minister said: "I will cast a spell to beg for rain, please the emperor immediately send an army to that Handan city south thirty miles of the Busan River bend of the double river village surrounded, that the demon must not escape."
After the courtier finished speaking, he ordered people to fetch a set of utensils and cast spells to seek rain, meanwhile the emperor also immediately deployed the ten thousand troops accompanying him to rush to Shuanghe Village at a rapid speed.
This side of the emperor's courtier imperial army a busy not to mention, and say that Zhao Zongming is to go to Handan city to buy butter, just bought a good butter hire a car to drive back, suddenly see the sky flying up paper army, under the heart of the alarmed, pinch a finger counting, will know the original reason for it, hastily abandoned the carriage, hastily cast spells to fly home, just landed in the future yet to come to the recovery of the paper paper people and paper horse spells, but heard the sky rumble thunder, the sunny day under the hot sun, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky, the sky. Under the sunny day, the sky suddenly fell heavy rain, those paper people and paper horses were watered by the rain, they have fallen, turned into a pile of papier-mâché.
Zhao Zongming know that it is too late, but also calculated that the imperial army has been rushed here, if they run, relatives and family members will inevitably be implicated in the scourge of extinction, they made up their minds not to go, hoping that by virtue of their own strength, can save the lives of loved ones.
At the time of the failure, Zhao Zongming's mind was suddenly clear, and suddenly realized many words in the Book of Other Places that he once did not understand. But that book has said in many places, the practice of the art of good, do not do evil, easy not to raise the scourge of the sword, otherwise the beginning of the war, the flames of war, the people lost their homes, the ultimate victim is still the poor people, and how many innocents will be in the war, how many soldiers were killed or injured? How can heaven allow those who practiced the magic in this book to do anything? Therefore, this time Zhao Zongming's great cause has not been accomplished, there is ultimately the will of heaven in it.
As for Zhao Zongming also thought of something, no one knows, in short, Zhao Zongming suddenly realized everything, twenty-six years old, has been like a hundred-year-old man full of vicissitudes of feeling, will Zhao family dozens of people called to the main hall at home, said faintly: "Zongming line of the great sins of the things that are not allowed by the heavens, and now the defeat has become a foregone conclusion, but Zongming although there are mountains and oceans, turning over the clouds and rains! Although Zong Ming has the ability to move mountains and seas and turn the tide, he can not raise chaos and harm the world, and now he is afraid of a piece of realization, knowing that today he will ascend into the immortal world, but for the Zhao family to leave a catastrophe, the crime of revolt, will certainly be decapitated, Zong Ming before ascending, he will have to talk to the present day Prince of Heaven on the conditions that it can not hurt my Zhao family members."
Zhao family people heard this, a piece of panic, even if you Zhao Zongming has that great ability, you are going to ascend, and how can you guarantee the safety and security of life and loved ones in the world?
At this moment, 10,000 imperial troops have rushed to Shuanghe village, the village surrounded, to be attacked Shuanghe village, suddenly the fog around the sudden rise, the soldiers near at hand but do not see each other. It turned out to be Zhao Zongming's spell to stall for time.
Zhao Zongming spell will be the imperial army blocked with the village, then to the family said: "Zong next year only twenty-six years old, got this strange book, learn this strange art, should be punished for evil and good, subdue the demons and remove the devil, for the sake of heaven, but because of greed and made a big mistake, can no longer be with the world, special will be a strange book to stay with my Zhao family, the book of the book of the strange art, subdue the demons and remove the devil, and more good deeds, but the book of the art! The only thing is that this book of magic is too mysterious and marvelous, all people have greed, fear that the future generations will do unrighteous acts, Zongming will remove the first half of the immortal law of the mighty art, leaving the chapter of subduing demons and eliminating the devil, but where my Zhao family children and grandchildren, everyone can practice, in order to get rid of the world's sins and evils, and to protect the peace of a party."
After saying that, Zhao Zongming took out the Book of Foreign Lands from his bosom, and tore off the first half of it with a wave of his hand, and a stream of bright fire strangely emerged from the tip of his right forefinger, burning that torn off part. After Zhao Zongming burned that half of the book, the whole person disappeared into the chair, leaving only half of the Book of Foreign Lands with the chair.
At this time, outside the village, the emperor and that minister with strange ability have already rushed to the temporary set up in the middle army tent, discussing how to break this strange fog. That fog is also strange, as long as not close to the village, there is no fog, if you want to enter the village, immediately lost, close your eyes and walk around, and then walked out, simply can not enter the village.
But that the emperor and the courtiers are worrying at the time, the tent suddenly appeared out of thin air an elegant young man, feather fan spandex scarf, clean face like jade, red lips and white teeth, it is Zhao Zongming.
The tent in the crowd was shocked, there have been generals have shouted to pull out their blades, but found that they could not move at all, Zhao Zongming to the emperor slightly salute, not panic, said blandly: "grass Zhao Zongming under the coincidence, to get the most precious book, learn the magic, a time of greed lost his mind, want to conspire against the emperor, now the big thing has been defeated, the emperor has its own heavenly blessing, Zongming inside the guilt of a million, today! The heart suddenly realized, is already away from the world of ascension of the people, on the occasion of ascension, especially come to the emperor to ask for forgiveness, hope that the emperor forgive my Zhao family people, fortunately the great disaster has not been brewed, but also ask the emperor to open up the grace outside the law."
A speech said without haste, Zhao Zongming frankly stood with the tent in front of the emperor.
The courtier who carries the strange art can not help but be annoyed, rebuked: "Bold thief, see today's son of heaven does not kneel, commit the unforgivable crime still dare to talk with the son of heaven in front of the matter of extra-judicial open grace, when it is really ten evils are not amnestied, come on people, will take down the rebel, out of the chopped."
This courtier is equipped with strange magic, naturally not afraid of Zhao Zongming, but this underneath the people and the emperor will not be able to, those who listen to the order, want to go up to catch Zhao Zongming, body but can not move, the emperor is feeling like sitting on pins and needles, the invisible pressure pressure on his forehead bean beads of sweat beads of sweat rolled down, the back has also been soaked through.
Zhao Zongming slightly raised his hand, the courtier only felt like pressure on the body of a thousand pounds of weight, could not help but cry out in pain, withered on the ground, Zhao Zongming gently shook his head and said: "Today, Zongming will be ascending, the emperor naturally do not have to worry about the Zongming conspiracy in the future, and the Zongming destroyed the strange book, leaving the Zhao family only left to subdue the demonic and demonic way, if the Zongming ascension after the emperor so hurt my Zhao family life, Zongming will certainly return to earth, exterminate the evil, and the Zhao family. Zongming will definitely return to earth and exterminate your royal family of Zhu, today's words have come to this, Zongming will go."
After saying this, Zhao Zongming turned into a piece of colorful light and left from the tent.
Outside the tent, double river village in the fog dispersed, as if there has never been a fog in general.
Inside the tent, the emperor was shocked, asked his capable ministers, how to act, the capable ministers sighed and shook his head, helplessly said: "Zhao Zongming's magical arts have become heavenly, is already an immortal, since the words of the Zhao family's children and grandchildren will no longer practice magical arts, the emperor will not be able to condemn his family. And sent people to watch this Zhao family, if someone again practicing the art of rebellion, and then kill, I think that Zhao Zongming even if you know, but also have nothing to say, the emperor is now the son of heaven, if the action is upright, I think that Zhao Zongming is the gods, but also can not hurt the emperor's dragon body."
After these words, the emperor can only nod his head, ordered to notify the local officials, always keep an eye on the Zhao family, then in 10,000 imperial guards and ministers escorted, hurriedly left the double river village.
Since then, the Zhao family more than the practice of magic, subduing demons, punishing evil and promoting goodness, generation after generation of strange people, generation after generation of wisdom. However, time has changed, to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi learned of this, sent to ask the Zhao family, to help the court to get rid of the Western demons, the Qing royal family of the people of the mediocrity and incompetence, the people of the Western countries as a demon or devil. The Zhao family is not used to the Manchu government, naturally refused to go to help, the court will secretly send people to steal the "book of foreign lands", after several failures, even directly sent troops to seize, "book of foreign lands" in the fight was destroyed, only a few pieces of paper remain. Zhao family got away from the people then incognito, away from home, until the Qing government fell, only one after another back to Shuanghe Village, until now.
However, after this disaster, the Zhao family has no more strange people appeared, the reason is that the "book of foreign land" only a few pages of the remaining fragmented paper, which although there is a brief record of the evil things, but there is nothing to get rid of the method, so there is no more magical skills in the Zhao family's descendants.
Whenever my grandfather thought about it, he would sigh and lament. However, my father and I never felt any pity, my father was young from the army, went to war, that is really educated by Chairman Mao's atheist thought, sweeping away all the ghosts and snakes, any ghosts and ghouls are nothing, what to be afraid of?
I naturally do not believe that we are also a good young man in the new socialist China, upright, from childhood to accept the teachings of my father, coupled with the education of the school teacher, these strange and bizarre things made up out of thin air, but also often joked with Grandpa, "Grandpa, since there are so many strange and bizarre ghosts and monsters in the world, that our ancestors in addition to so much that people The demons and monsters do not know to come to revenge our family?"
Whenever this issue is mentioned, grandpa will always proudly lift up his face and say disdainfully, "The immortal in our family ancestry ascended to the sky, once dreamed to the future generations of children and grandchildren, he descended the blessing to the children and grandchildren of the Zhao family descendants, born with the righteousness of the immortal family, any evil things do not dare to hurt my Zhao family members, and also can not hurt."
Although these do not believe, but this sentence always makes people listen to the unexplained happy, said we surnamed Zhao was born with the immortal gas, double the face is not?
The young and frivolous me, in any case did not expect, in my life experience, actually really encountered the "foreign land book" in the record of those so-called evil sins of foreign objects.
