Chapter 31: Opening the Eye of the Underworld
'Ghost Mask' in has another name.
Qin Feng knows that the black and white photo of the ghost mask in the folk is called 'Nuo opera'.
Nuo opera, in the folk is the Chinese opera genre, is based on folk rituals to absorb folk songs and dances, theater and the formation of a form of opera.
Nuo opera originated in the Shang and Zhou period of Fang Xiang's exorcism activities, after the Han Dynasty, and gradually developed into a ceremonial ritual with strong entertainment colors and musical components.
Around the Song Dynasty, Nuo instrument due to the influence of folk songs and dances, theater, began to diffuse into the Nuo opera aimed at rewarding the gods still want.
Nuo opera is a synthesis of history, folklore, folk religion and primitive theater.
While the Feng Shui community in the 'Nuo opera' is represented by a kind of sacrifice, this ghost mask, is the ancient witchcraft, the mask worn by the sorcerer. Feng Shui community collectively known as 'Nuo'.
Nuo, the ancient book is interpreted as driving away ghosts and epidemics.
In ancient times, Nuo instrument ordered by the Son of God solemn rituals, gradual development to the folk, experienced by the epidemic, pay God, secularization of the three stages.
Han Wei period, the scale of Nuo activities have become more grand, the ceremony of the square phase of the increase to 4, each with 12 yellow door disciples and beasts, 120 escorts, the rest dressed as a variety of God Ripley's actors up to thousands of people.
With the rise of Taoism and the end of the Han Dynasty Buddhism into China, exorcise ghosts and epidemics and pay God Naji.
The protagonist Fang Xiang's give way to the blue dragon, white tiger and Buddhism in the vajra, Rex and other guardian deities.
Religious secularization, its function to pay God for entertainment, the traditional inviolable gods and goddesses, a change for Nuo Nuo, Nuo mother; and then change into the stove, stove mother; to the late Tang, even beggars have been added to the ranks of Nuo Yi.
Of course, these are just folk 'Nuo theater', in the Feng Shui community, 'Nuo' is actually a practice of art, different from the mountain, medical, physiognomy, life, divination traditional metaphysics five arts.
Similar to a branch of the heritage of sorcery.
Qin Feng's mind flashed out these thoughts, which is still in his previous life, he was in the southern province of western Hunan, encountered a tribe with a 'Nuo' inheritance of the tribe, only to know so much.
And this ghost mask Nuo opera, obviously, is a treasure, a very special treasure, was photographed, there is such a strong impact of the divine sense, only treasure has this ability.
"Locked in the Dragon Well actually salvaged Nuo teach heritage of magic treasures, this is interesting." Qin Feng murmured, curious about that Locked Dragon Well in the capital city.
After returning to the dormitory, Qin Feng temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and simply washed up before going to bed.
Qin Feng decided to take advantage of his vacation to see what secrets were hidden in this Dragon Locking Well.
As for the ghost mask inside the black and white photo, Qin Feng was not expecting anything, although this thing was a magic treasure, but, after being gotten rid of from above, he really didn't have the ability to get it out himself.
The next day, early morning.
Qin Feng woke up, simply wash up, today did not go out for morning exercise, casually ate something, then walked out of the school gate, today will go to see the situation of the Locked Dragon Well.
This Locked Dragon Well in the capital city was not hard to find, it was right there in Beixinqiao.
This place had become a tourist attraction in the capital city.
Qin Feng stopped a cab and it only took half an hour to arrive here.
Early in the morning, there were no tourists here, this is a piece of ancient house tourist area, belonging to the four nine city, the development of the capital city, this place, but also built a conspicuous stone bridge, written on the Beixinqiao, Qin Feng knows that this is just a modern building built by the descendants of the name of the certificate for this place.
Anciently called Beixinqiao, has long since disappeared in the river of history.
Surrounded by a square, Qin Feng didn't say much, Beixin Bridge looked a bit cold, Qin Feng looked at the situation, just what he wanted.
Taking a step, Qin Feng walked towards the Locked Dragon Well.
The Locked Dragon Well had been repaired and the well was sealed.
Around the well, were four stone pillars, while the mouth of the well was repaired into an octagonal shape, right in the center of the well, a well cover was fastened on, the cover was bronze, with words written on it, introducing this historical trace, and on the edges of the well, there were also some patterns of dragons carved in relief.
Of course, these were just what an ordinary person could see with the naked eye.
Qin Feng walked to the side of this dragon locking well and squinted his eyes as he surveyed it.
"It's actually a Daoist cultivator who placed the seal." In Qin Feng's eyes, this Dragon Locking Well wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.
First of all, this octagonal shape was actually a small sealed bagua formation.
Qin Feng squinted his eyes as the breath in his body revolved, and with a flip of one hand, a talisman appeared within the palm of his right hand, sticking to his palm.
"Urgent order, Three Qing Hua Tianzun, pardon." In a low voice, Qin Feng recited the mantra.
The talisman in his palm instantly transformed into a white light, Qin Feng raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers in a sword finger, crossing over his eyes.
As the sword finger slowly moved across, the white light in Qin Feng's palm, gradually disappeared, at this moment, Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a superb light, but the next second it returned to normal.
What Qin Feng was performing was a secret Taoist technique, which was commonly known as opening the eyes of heaven.
In Feng Shui it was also known as Yin Yang Eyes, the ability to see ghosts with the naked eye.
Ordinary people in general, and even some cultivators whose cultivation realm was not enough, could not see ghosts, although it was said that there was a divine sense that could perceive them, but they could not see them.
Qin Feng's cultivation is not enough, only the realm of qi cultivation, naturally, there is no yin and yang eyes yet, so he used this secret technique, using the secret technique to open yin and yang eyes for a short period of time is a more superior method.
In folklore there are actually a lot of earthly methods.
For example, using cow tears to wipe on the eyes, can also briefly open the yin and yang eyes, but this method is a little difficult to do, because not all cow tears have this effect.
It must be the kind of yellow ox in the countryside that has been used to plow the land from birth to adulthood, and this kind of yellow ox must be free of any disease before it dies of old age, only then will the old yellow ox excrete the earth's qi in its body through its tears.
This kind of old buffalo, plowing for a lifetime, can be said to be every day and the earth contact, its own stained with the gas of the earth, has a certain spirituality, the body has the ordinary buffalo does not have a special aura, like the general rearing of the buffalo is not at all such an effect, even if there is no old age and death of pain and disease, and also left behind the tears, the same is useless, because this kind of buffalo in the body does not have the gas of the earth.
Qin Feng did not choose the cow tears this approach, the first is this approach does not last long, the second is now this cow tears would have been very rare, it is very difficult to get, perhaps some of the old cultivators still save this kind of thing, of course, the most important reason is that Qin Feng at the moment in the hands of the cow tears simply do not have.
The most important reason is that Qin Feng doesn't have any cow tears in his hands at the moment.
