Chapter 27 Staring directly at the gods
The expression of the old team leader suddenly became extremely strange. He looked at Zhao Qi in astonishment, as if to make sure that he was not joking.
After a while, the old leader said somewhat unconfidently:
"No one has asked to sing Nuo opera for many years. Are you sure you want to sing?"
"That's right!"
Zhao Qi nodded:
"It must be a Nuo opera. I know that the ghost opera was a Nuo opera wizard a long time ago.
If we talk about this era, who else can sing it? You are the only one who performs Nuo opera.
I wonder if the old leader can take on this job and whether he can sing in this show? "
The old leader nodded excitedly, with a confident look on his face, even his voice. All with a slight tremor:
"Of course I can sing. This treasure at the bottom of the box is passed down from our ancestors.
I thought that life would not bring us death, so we have to take this unique skill with us to the grave.
Since the customer has spoken today, there is no reason not to agree!”
“It’s settled now!”
The old boss quickly called a few old guys to the side. Convey the conversation just now with Zhao Qi to them.
And Zhao Qi also came to Lake and others and said in a deep voice:
"We are almost ready. The next thing to do is to find a geomantic treasure land to be used as a place to ascend the list of gods. "
When it comes to Feng Shui, Cai An comes naturally. Interested, he pointed to the compass that Zhao Zhao Qili had been holding and said:
"Mr. Zhao, is this the three-yuan compass you are holding in your hand?
As far as I know, Probe Feng shui should be the three-in-one compass.
The Sanhepan is also called Yang Gongpan. There are three layers of twenty-four mountains on the pan. It is a comprehensive pan that combines modern Feng Shui situation and Li Qi.
I don’t understand why you chose to use a three-yuan plate? "
Cai An is indeed an expert, and these professional terms he said made Lei Ke and others beside him confused.
There was something in Zhao Qi's eyes when he looked at Cai An. Praise, although it is just a few words, it fully shows that Cai An is in the wind Achievements on the water.
However, Zhao Qi did not agree with Cai An's point of view. With a flick of his wrist, the magnetic needle in the three yuan disk began to rotate crazily, and then Zhao Qi looked up at the top of his head. sky, he just said slowly:
"The three-in-one disk is indeed miraculous in exploring the terrain and feng shui, but the three-in-one disk matches the twenty-four mountains with the stars. Although it is more complicated, it is also more comprehensive.
The three-in-one disk is also called twenty The four-day astrolabe can easily determine the eight major terrains."
While talking, Zhao Qi looked down at the compass and then walked in a direction. Others were confused when they saw this. Come up.
“On the east side is Bawu, with the auspicious star of Yinquan shining high, and on the south side is Taiyin, with the emperor’s seat echoing it from a distance.
It means that there is a Feng Shui treasure cave hidden in this mountain, just opposite the Luanjia star. Below, this is a star that does not show good or bad luck, but also a star that harmonizes with the mean. ”
After passing through a forest, Zhao Qi stopped. After observing for a moment, he nodded:
"This is it!"
He has a good relationship with Cai An. Lin Feng lowered his voice and asked beside Cai An:
"Professor Cai, is what Zhao Qi said true?"
Cai An also carefully observed his surroundings at this time. , a moment later, a bit of surprise appeared on his face:
"It's really like this. Look at the mountains in the distance echoing one after another, like a blue dragon sitting in the sky.
Surrounded by three mountains and connected by the North Water, it is an important place for Feng Shui.
But Zhao Qi's Feng Shui attainments are obviously Above me, it is extremely difficult to locate Feng Shui through the three-yuan disk.
What's more, it's only evening, and the stars in the sky are not obvious. Unless we can accurately know the positions of the 24-day stars and deduce the changes in their movements at different times, we can't define the Feng Shui place so easily. ”
Cai An looked at Zhao Qi's figure in shock. It was hard to imagine how such a young person could have such profound knowledge of Feng Shui.
Since ancient times, each dynasty has had experts who specialize in observing the sky to infer the fate of the country.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was the Taishi Ling in charge of the celestial calendar, and in the early Tang Dynasty, there was the Taishi Bureau, which was later changed to the Tiantai.
During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was the Si Tianjian, which was a parallel institution with the Taishi Bureau and the Taishi Academy.
There is a huge difference between celestial feng shui and ordinary feng shui. It not only requires the user to be proficient in feng shui and terrain, but also requires a detailed understanding of the distribution of celestial phenomena and the calculation of the laws of celestial changes.
It's no wonder why Cai An is so surprised. After all, such an ability is too unexpected for a young man in his twenties.
After confirming the location of the Conferred God, Zhao Qi personally returned to the place where he came from, brought the fox demon over, and once again made it a prison. After being trapped there, he began to make other preparations.
First, he directed the agents and soldiers to cut down some trees from the forest and build a small altar.
The square dimensions of the altar must be accurate to the millimeter.
Secondly, place an offering table directly in front of the altar. In the middle of the table is an incense burner and next to it are three bowls of liquid.
The three red liquids are black dog blood, rooster blood, and strong liquor.
Just from this point, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Qi is cooperating with the Nuo opera to carry out the ceremony.
Under the command of Zhao Qi, various colored silks and satins were tied on both sides of the simple altar. The different colors were intertwined together, making the altar look indescribably weird.
All this is because of Nuo opera, which is not an ordinary opera. It originated from the Fangxiang-style exorcism ceremony in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Fang Xiangshi was a god commonly believed by the people at that time, and he was a god who could dispel diseases and ward off evil spirits.
His palms are covered with bear skin, his eyes are golden, and he wears black clothes and red clothes. He holds a spear and a shield to cure the country's diseases.
During the funeral, Fang Xiangshi expelled Fangliang. The ceremony of Fang Xiangshi in the palace was called Da Nuo. Even in the Tang Dynasty, it became one of the military rituals.
Later, after Jiang Ziya became a god, there were all kinds of gods that are now known to people in the world.
So Fang Xiangshi’s Nuo ceremony is the earliest ceremony in history that can connect the sky and the earth.
The Nuo opera evolved from the Nuo ceremony.
This is why Zhao Qihui chose to use Nuo opera as the beginning of the leading ceremony.
He wants to tell the world, and according to the destiny of heaven, he will ask for the list of gods and canonize the fox demon into a god.
Of course, it is not necessary to use this ceremony every time when the ceremony of conferring gods will be held in the future. This will be determined according to the feng shui of the place, the objects used to confer gods, and ancient legends.
The 'Nuo opera' used in this ceremony is known as a ghost opera among the people, mainly because of the weird body movements, and the various masks are mostly related to religion. Related to ghosts and gods.
Visually, there is always a kind of psychological pressure on people.
Nuo opera has almost been lost in modern times, but the status of Nuo opera in ancient times was no less than that of Peking Opera in modern times.
There has always been a saying among the people:
Wearing a Nuo opera mask, people can look directly at the gods!
