Chapter 32 32: Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp
"Brother, what do you mean by what you said earlier, 'Integrity and intelligence can make you a god'?"
Compared to her parents, Chen Min was obviously much more curious about knowledge. While waiting for lunch, she asked about Chen Jin.
Chen Jin replied: "Integrity refers to being fair and upright, and does not do things that are unkind to one's heart; smart means, better understood, that when doing things for others, one knows how to pay attention to methods, knows how to deal with them appropriately, and is not rigid or pedantic. To be a person If you can do this, you will have extraordinary courage and strong thoughts, and ordinary ghosts and gods will not be able to harm you. ”
Chen Min blinked: "I am also very bold. I dare to walk at night, dare to go up the mountain to cut firewood alone, and dare to kill mice and chase away snakes and insects. But I can't deal with what happened last night."
Chen Jin looked at her: "You must have been afraid at that time, felt very scared, right?"
The girl nodded quickly: "Yes, I saw a ghost hiding in the darkness. It came in through the window, and I immediately wanted to run away, but couldn't move. I was so scared at the time."
Chen Jin explained: "It is precisely because you are afraid that you lose your courage. Once your anger is weak, the other party will press forward and suppress you."
Chen Min said with a grimace: "But I have never experienced anything like this. When things happen, it is difficult to be completely unafraid."
Chen Jin nodded slightly: "This is the problem. The four words 'integrity and intelligence' are simple to say, but it is actually very difficult to actually implement them. Just like some people have read a lot of books and understand a set of principles, but When encountering an accident, being in danger, or encountering various temptations, this person’s thoughts will be confused and he will make wrong choices.”
Chen Min stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and said a little embarrassedly: "That's true. One time I went up the mountain. I originally planned to pick up a bag of mushrooms and then go back home. But I saw a wild rabbit on the road and immediately threw the bag away. I went chasing hares on the roadside, but when I came back, I found that the mushrooms had been taken away. I was very angry. ”
Chen Jin chuckled: "Throwing away watermelons and picking up sesame seeds, many people will make such mistakes."
Chen Min asked again: "What is 'throw away watermelon and pick up sesame seeds'?"
Chen Jin told her that story.
Chen Min listened with great interest and sighed after listening: "Actually, this monkey is right. Who doesn't want something better? It's really difficult to control it."
Chen Jin remained silent, saying these things to the girl without any intention of preaching.
It was because of his defective state of mind that he failed to cross the tribulation and had to be reincarnated.
The "wishful thinking" in this man's heart is like mosquitoes breeding in the gutter, and it seems that they can never be wiped out. Just after a batch was eliminated, once encountered, they flew out again "buzzing".
After lunch, Chen Jin left his uncle's house, but did not go home immediately. Instead, he walked along the village road and wandered around the countryside.
Now, he has caused some topics in the village. When the villagers saw it, they all said hello: "Chen Shuchi, why do you have time to visit the village today?"
"Chen Shuchi, where are you going?"
"Chen Shuchi, do you want a wife?"
They are all words that are neither salty nor bland and not very nutritious.
Chen Jin smiled and went his own way.
On death row, I heard from the old writer that this dynasty should be a world where Shintoism was prosperous, sects were numerous, and heresy was prevalent.
Very messy.
Looking at it this way, Chen Zexiang only produced a goddess who raises ghosts, so that's fine.
The main reason may be related to the ancestor gods in the ancestral hall.
Although the divine aura seems to be quite thin, it is there after all.
In the Shinto system, all gods have a strong sense of domain. As the saying goes, "One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."
Once a conflict occurs, it will be a fight for incense.
In Chen Zexiang, it is difficult for other religious sects to get involved. Because of this, most of the people who live in this place are people with the surname Chen. They have a clan concept and are naturally exclusive.
The family god toad invited by the family of township head Chen Jiande is a special case and does not conflict with the ancestral god.
Thinking of this, Chen Jin came to the door. Unexpectedly, Chen Liang was not at home. He went to the city yesterday and has not returned yet. Chen Liang was not there, and the others were unfamiliar and had nothing to talk about. Chen Jin had no choice but to say goodbye and return to the hillside.
Seeing him coming back, Wangcai immediately stepped forward to greet him, wagging his tail.
During the day, it is inconvenient for the old wolf to show his face, which is a good time for the dog to show his attentiveness.
Although the two guys cooperated in hunting, they cooperated perfectly, but when it was time to compete for favor, they were not ambiguous at all, and they both wanted to show their loyalty in front of Chen Jin.
Chen Jin entered the room, sat down, took out something and placed it on the wooden table.
This is a light.
It was the loot collected in Daxian Temple last night, which was an unexpected gain.
When I first got it, this lamp was quite dirty. It had not been wiped or cleaned for an unknown period of time, and it was covered with a thick layer of soot and dirt.
After getting it back, Chen Jin carefully cleaned it and finally "revealed its original shape."
This lamp is an ancient bronze vessel with a very clumsy and peculiar shape. The lamp base is a turtle lying on the ground with all four limbs, and the lamp body is a statue of an evil ghost with a green face and red hair.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The statue of an evil ghost steps on the turtle's head with one foot and kicks the other foot backwards. A concave lamp is cleverly formed at the heel.
You can place the lamp oil and wick here and light it to create a lamp.
This is Kuixing's kicking lamp.
Scholars in ancient times would use such lamps to illuminate their reading whenever possible.
The meaning is "high literary fortune, leading the way".
The statue looks vicious, but it is not an evil ghost, but the image of Lord Kuixing.
The legendary Wenquxing belongs to the Kuixing sequence.
There are also myths and stories saying that Kuixingjun descended to earth and transformed into "Kui", who was good at catching ghosts and driving away evil.
Therefore, lighting the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp at night also has the function of warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters.
But I don’t know where Goddess Chen got this ancient bronze lamp, but she obviously didn’t know the goods. She probably saw the statue as sinister and thought it was a ghost artifact, so she placed it on the altar to add to the gloomy atmosphere of Daxian Temple.
The obvious pearl is covered in dust.
This ancient lamp has nothing to do with the shape of the lamp. It is very similar to other lamps of the same type.
The key lies in the material the lamp is made of and the charm contained in it, which is very rare.
To be sure, it must have been used by some literary master before.
Ao's body was originally engraved with a five unique poem, but the vicissitudes of time and wear and tear made it difficult to distinguish many of the writings. Only the four characters "Lights of Ten Thousand Houses" were vaguely recognized.
Chen Jin doesn't care about the story of the ancient lamp. What he cares about is the function of the lamp itself.
And prepare to refine, forge and promote it, and finally make it into a real magic weapon, which can cultivate one's body, nourish one's nature, calm one's mind and clear one's mind...
Don't underestimate these functions. With the blessing of this lamp, Chen Jin's soul hidden in the spiritual platform will be like a fish in water.
And some Taoist and magical powers can also see the light of day and come in handy.
Unknowingly, this book reached a new high of 87th on the new book list. Thank you for your hard work, my family!
