Chapter 29 The Last Guardian: Happy New Year to All Friends
After a while of talking, I gained Ouyang Yiming's trust, and then I pointed to the two towers in the center of the map and said: "Wushan and Yushan are equivalent to the eyes of the yin-yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram, and these two towers are probably the
It is used to calm the spiritual energy of Wushan and Yushan so that they will not produce strong fluctuations. Once there is a problem with these two towers, it will cause the entire Tai Chi Blessed Land to lose its balance. At the least, it will weaken the luck and cause continuous disasters, and at worst, it will cause earth-shaking.
A catastrophe, the losses caused by the conflict between dragon and tiger will be even more terrible."
Ouyang Yiming's expression was ugly, as if he was thinking about something. I continued: "According to my observations in the past few days, most of the ground in Fuzhou is siltation layer, and there is a large amount of groundwater. It is very unstable. Once the Feng Shui pattern is broken,
The quickest and most direct response is that the ground in many places is sinking and groundwater is rising. Then many buildings will collapse and waterlogging will occur in many places."
Ouyang Yiming asked in surprise: "You mean someone is going to blow up the two towers?"
"No, I just guessed that someone wants to destroy Feng Shui, and the most likely starting point for destroying Feng Shui is these two towers! I heard that a monk died mysteriously here, and a series of supernatural events happened in a villa near the White Tower. Isn't this true?
It's an accident, it was done by the same person or the same group of people. A Japanese who knew magic died near the White Tower last night, and I found this map from him..."
Ouyang Yiming's face changed drastically: "Then what will they do?"
I spread my hands helplessly: "I don't know, so I came to ask you to find out the origins and legends of these two towers. Maybe I can guess what the enemy wants to do."
Ouyang Yiming looked at me with a very strange look, and then looked at Ling Fengpiao, which made both of us feel a little scared, and then he said solemnly: "I'll tell you a secret, I am the guardian of Uta."
!”
"Tower guard?" Ling Fengpiao and I both widened our eyes.
"Yes, my distant ancestor was a monk who returned to secular life for unknown reasons and took on the responsibility of guarding the Uta. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Every generation of the Ouyang family must have a male who practices ancestral martial arts and secretly protects the Uta. So far, it has been
More than two hundred years. Alas... My rebellious son refuses to practice martial arts, let alone be a tower guard. He has been against me since he was a child. Now he simply hides away from home and does not come back. He is doing some family planning.
After he gave birth to a daughter, he will not let her have another one. I don’t even have a grandson, and the inheritance that has lasted for hundreds of years will be cut off in my hands!"
Ouyang Yiming was very sad and lost. Ling Fengpiao and I looked at each other. No wonder Ouyang Zhenfei's father was always away from home. Ouyang Zhenfei was not a descendant, so she didn't know anything.
Ouyang Yiming added: "The White Pagoda also has a guardian family. The surname is Cao. He is a descendant of Taoism. He started guarding the tower at the same time as my distant ancestors. Now it is no longer the legacy. Even the residence has changed to a foreign surname. Alas..."
I can understand his sadness, because my master often feels this kind of desolation and helplessness, and too many inheritances of hundreds or even thousands of years have been cut off in their generation.
Ouyang Yiming calmed down and collected his emotions and said: "The original name of the Wu Pagoda is 'Chongmiao Baosheng Strong Tower'. Because the tower is made of granite and bluestone and is black in color, it is called Wu Pagoda. It was first built in the 15th year of Zhenyuan of the Tang Dynasty (
799), it was destroyed in the sixth year of Qianfu (879) in the Tang Dynasty. In the third year of Yonglong in Fujian (941 AD), Wang Yanxi, the seventh son of Wang Shenzhi, the king of Fujian, rebuilt the nine-story pagoda on the old site. When it reached the seventh floor,
Wang Yanxi was killed by his subordinates, so there were only seven floors and a height of 35 meters. Each floor of the pagoda has a relief Buddha statue, embedded with a stele of the name of the pagoda, a record of the pagoda's construction, and a stele of blessings and inscriptions. The original name of the white pagoda is 'Repaying Favor Dingguang Duobao Pagoda'
It was built by Wang Shenzhi, King of Fujian, in the first year of Tang Tian Dynasty (904). It is about 41 meters high. It is built with bricks on the outside and wood on the inside ledge. It has seven floors and octagons and is covered with white ash on the outside, so it is called the White Pagoda."
The words "Jianlao" and "Dingguang" make it clear that they are used to suppress Feng Shui. I am even more certain about the role of these two towers. Because the towers were originally Buddhist buildings, the names of the towers have Buddhist words, but this does not mean
To prevent it from being used to suppress Feng Shui.
Ling Fengpiao said: "Since it is confirmed that someone wants to destroy these two towers, shall we call the police?"
I looked at Ouyang Yiming, and he was also looking at me. We were all hesitant. This matter is of great importance, and it is best to call the police, but people like us - monks, Taoist priests, onmyojis, martial arts people, supernatural beings
People and so on are very repulsive to the public security and will not rely on official power. And this is just our guess. If no major incident occurs after reporting the police, we will be implicated. If a major incident does occur, the public security will not be able to solve it at all, so
Calling the police is not a wise move.
I said, "We have no evidence and we don't know when the other party will start. We can't call the police yet."
Ling Fengpiao suddenly said: "I don't understand Feng Shui, but I heard from my master that towers are generally used to suppress ghosts and yin energy. Today is the Ghost Festival and it is the night of the full moon. If the little devil takes action, it must be
Tonight."
Ouyang Yiming suddenly said: "By the way, I saw it in an ancestor's chronicle (notes) that special attention should be paid to the night of the Ghost Festival, which is tonight! And there are legends of treasures under these two towers. The White Tower
When the pagoda was built, a radiant orb was found under the foundation, so it was called the 'Dingguang' pagoda. It was probably buried underneath it later; it is said that there was an elixir under the pagoda... There are relevant records in my ancestors, which were lost during the Anti-Japanese War.
Well, I was still very young at the time, so I’m not sure.”
I started to get nervous, destroying Feng Shui and stealing treasures. Isn't this what evil spirits like to do the most? The matter is so urgent, and it involves the safety of millions of people. How can I, a civilian, make rash decisions?
After getting Mr. Ouyang's consent, I called Captain Wang and told me my guess, but I concealed the details of the ancient map found in the Japanese Onmyoji.
After making this call, I began to regret it. It makes sense for strangers to not want to contact the police. Captain Wang simply didn’t believe that someone would destroy the Black Tower and the White Tower, let alone that these two towers would affect the entire city. Not only did he not believe that
If I asked, we would have to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, and the police car would come to pick us up, so I was gloriously "entered into the palace for the second time". Isn't this asking for trouble?
The three of us were taken to the police station and separated for questioning. We were questioned repeatedly. They did not regard us as the heroes who had uncovered the spies, but as lawless elements who spread rumors and caused trouble and chaos.
We kept struggling from morning to evening, but the police still had no intention of letting us go, and they couldn't see Captain Wang. I got so angry that I made a big fuss and finally got Captain Wang out. As soon as he came in, I hurriedly said
: "Even if you don't believe me, you should temporarily control the 'Taiwanese photographer' and send a few people to guard the two towers, and Ouyang Zhenfei should also be protected. Maybe..."
Captain Wang sneered: "You don't need to teach me. I have already checked. The photographer is a real Taiwanese. He entered the country with a legal status and did not do anything illegal. I also sent people to keep an eye on the two towers."
Okay, now you should just worry about yourself, confuse the public with your lies, falsely accuse Taiwan compatriots, disrupt social order, hum..."
I resisted the urge to curse. A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences. I will be the unlucky one after scolding him. I could bear it, but Xiaoxue couldn't bear it anymore: "Master, let me punish him. These scoundrels are so abominable."
!”
"No, please don't mess around!" I don't allow Xiaoxue to show up casually, and I don't even dare to communicate with her easily when walking on the road, for fear that I will accidentally bump into an expert, and be perceived as evil, which will add a lot of trouble.
"Then let him be confused for a while and then let us go, okay?"
I didn't object because I really couldn't stay any longer.
I didn't see Xiaoxue take any action, but Captain Wang suddenly became confused. His eyes were straight and he was distracted. He apologized to me repeatedly, saying that he had arrested the wrong person, and then told the clerk that we could leave and immediately go through the relevant procedures.
I left. Although his subordinates were a little confused, they didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly sent me out.
I was a little surprised: "Xiaoxue, what spell did you use on him?"
Xiaoxue was very proud: "Hehe, it's just a small confusion technique. It can charm, confuse, demoralize, etc. What I am best at is controlling people's minds and emotions. However, my cultivation has not recovered yet and I cannot affect it.
As a profound person, as for these little catchers in the yamen, they are just ordinary people, so aren’t they easy to catch?”
I said seriously: "Spells cannot be used on ordinary people, and it is even more taboo to use them on 'public' people. You must get my consent before you can use them."
"Okay, okay, I knew it earlier!" Xiaoxue said with a loud voice.
Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Yiming came out soon, and their faces were ugly. Ling Fengpiao cursed: "I'll kill him first, I won't call the police even if the house is on fire!"
Mr. Ouyang also sighed repeatedly: "Oh, times have changed. Even the son I gave birth to doesn't believe what I say, let alone a big cap?"
I asked: "Old man, what should I do now?"
"What else can I do? As long as I can still open my eyes, I have to watch Uta. No matter if they send people there or not, I have to guard it anyway."
I am in awe of him. He has been guarding Uta for generations, not for fame or profit. In fact, no one knows their existence. It is just for a responsibility or belief. What is most lacking in this impetuous era is this kind of person.
"I'll go with you!" I intuitively knew there would be no peace tonight.
"I'll go too!" Ling Fengpiao said.
Ouyang Yiming was very happy and put his hands on our shoulders respectively: "Okay, you are all good children, let's go!"
On the way, I called Mr. Lin and told him that I had come out because he had called me before. I told him to help solve the case at the police station. Mr. Lin confirmed that there were several people guarding the White Tower. It seemed
Like plainclothes police or armed police, Captain Wang took precautions even though he didn't believe what I said.
