Chapter 386 The Golden Dharma of the Flesh Body 2
At the time, I asked Fatty Lin what the use of these kinds of living Buddhas in their physical bodies was.
Lin, unusually, didn't show off and explained it to me.
First, it gathers primordial yang and stores essence and vital energy.
Secondly, it was used to suppress vengeful spirits.
Thirdly, it serves as a transit vessel, facilitating the master's practice through borrowing a corpse.
Lin Pangzi also said at the time that if his guess was true, most of the vital energy that Luo Yufu obtained by absorbing the vital energy of those male stars would have been obtained by this master.
Out of curiosity, I asked Fatty Lin how to select people and how to refine them.
First, the selection criteria are as follows: the candidate must be a pure yang boy aged between twelve and sixteen, whose birth chart must also be entirely yang. The candidate's destiny must not be harsh or fierce; he must be clean, gentle, and easy to control.
These kinds of teenagers are extremely difficult to find; I even said at the time that it would be hard to find one in ten thousand.
The key is to ensure that those selected have no future problems; that's the most difficult part.
Later, when Fourth Aunt inquired about the progress, Fatty Lin specifically mentioned the matter of this mummified Buddha in order to illustrate the difficulty.
As a result, the fourth wife said that she knew where these kinds of teenagers were found.
When we asked her where she found them, Fourth Sister said she swindled them from small countries like Nepal and Bhutan.
When Fourth Wife said that, we both realized that this was not an isolated case.
Otherwise, the fourth wife wouldn't have answered so readily.
Fourth Sister didn't pay much attention, saying that these gurus in Hong Kong would lure some teenagers from those small countries every year.
She didn't know what they were going to do with them, but she did know that every year a group of teenagers were lured here and then disappeared.
At that time, both of us brothers fell silent. As for the mummified Buddha, Fatty Lin didn't have any solid evidence, only suspicions.
Since Fourth Aunt said that, we are more than 50% certain that the physical form Xiao Ba saw was not a wax figure, but a real person.
After the selection process is completed, the next step is to seal the soul.
To sever the seven emotions and lock the six senses.
How can we sever the seven emotions and lock the six senses?
They were given a drug to make them mute, so they couldn't shout.
The ears, eyes, and nose are sealed, the limbs are bound with Vajra ropes, and soul-locking needles are inserted; this is to sever the seven emotions and lock the six senses.
This approach is exactly the same as what was done to Shen Yuehong, except that the method used to deal with Shen Yuehong was not as skillful.
It's possible that not enough people have been killed yet. Once more people are killed, the skill level will naturally increase.
If we do it now, I doubt that Shen Yuehong could be buried underground for fifty years and still not come out.
The third step is "sitting in meditation and passing away." This doesn't mean that when the time comes, one will naturally pass away; rather, it means sitting in meditation and living a full life.
The authentic mummified Buddha is one whose body dries naturally after he or she has passed away in meditation.
This is an evil practice, so it results in the person sitting and dying.
What does "sitting dry" mean?
The person was placed in a sealed golden niche, which was airtight and had no ventilation. The bottom of the niche was lined with quicklime, saffron, cinnabar, and soil from the grave.
Then they chanted the Corpse-Drying Curse day and night, causing the boy to dehydrate, starve, suffocate, and dry out in the dark.
Fatty Lin said the whole process would take 49 days, and even if the person died, their soul would still be conscious.
The boy could clearly feel his body withering away little by little.
The entire process can no longer be described as simply inhumane.
The opening of the niche is considered successful only if the body does not decay, collapse, or smell after the niche is opened.
After the success, the corpse, which looked like a withered tree, was taken out, its whole body was painted with gold paint, its face was covered with gold leaf, and it was dressed in a kasaya, disguised as a physical body, and placed in the main hall for worship.
To outsiders, this appears to be the physical form of a guru; they have no idea that it is the mummified corpse of a young boy who was burned to death and whose soul was imprisoned.
Looking back at the soul-locking needle cast in red copper, I couldn't quite describe my feelings.
"You're free!"
Shen Yuehong held up the severed head in her hand, stared at it for a moment, and then threw it to the ground.
With a loud bang, the head shattered.
The instant the head shattered, a wisp of blackish-red gas spurted from the mummified corpse's neck.
At the same time, the eighteen Buddha statues that had been silent suddenly began to shake, with red and black wax flowing from their eyes, and strange red light emanating from the vermilion ground, revealing intricate patterns.
Shen Yuehong looked a little bewildered. She glanced at the trembling Buddha statue, then at the ground glowing red, and finally fixed her gaze on us, giving us an inquiring look.
"That guru stored a wisp of his soul within the corpse!"
Fatty Lin reacted quickly, rushing towards the headless physical form while shouting, "Sister Yuehong, get out of the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chest cavity of the physical body suddenly burst open, and a cloud of golden-black mist rushed out, within which several ferocious human faces could be vaguely seen.
"The Soul-Locking Array is broken, and the Yin Fiends return to their rightful place!"
The moment the human face burst forth, the dried corpse suddenly stood up, and a hoarse voice came from its headless body. The human skin drums located in the four corners of the hall were struck again, and streams of viscous black blood seeped from the surrounding walls.
"Still dare to cause trouble?"
Shen Yuehong didn't dodge or flinch, but instead inserted her hand directly into the chest of the dried corpse's image and pulled it outwards sharply, tearing the dried corpse in two.
This scene stunned me.
In the popular anti-Japanese war dramas of the past two years, there is a ridiculous scene where people tear apart Japanese soldiers with their bare hands.
Shen Yuehong's move was even more outrageous than tearing apart a Japanese soldier with her bare hands; she directly tore the dried corpse in half.
"what!"
With the sound of bones cracking, a faint black shadow burst out from the dried corpse and fled towards the mandala behind it.
"Trying to run away?"
Fatty Lin arrived just in time. With a wave of his hand, a talisman shot out, striking the shadowy figure with a "poof" sound. The talisman instantly ignited, transforming into a ball of orange-red flame.
The dark shadow was almost scattered, leaving only a faint layer that slipped into the mandala through the crack in the door.
As the dark figure slipped away, the central hall descended into complete chaos.
The human skin drums located at the four corners made a loud, thumping sound, and the eighteen joyful Buddhas trembled violently, as if something was trying to crawl out.
"Madman, Nier, the human skin drum and the Buddha statue are filled with vengeful spirits. Use red ropes and talismans to suppress them first, and we'll deal with them later. If anything inside escapes, everyone in the building will suffer!"
Fatty Lin tossed out a sentence to Shen Yuehong: "Sister Yuehong, let's go after them!"
After saying that, he led Shen Yuehong into the mandala.
Long Nier and I exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, we took out the talisman and the red rope and began to suppress it.
Long Nier, wielding a tiger-tail whip, lashed out at the trembling Buddha statue with two lashes.
After drawing the talisman, first attach the talisman, then bind it.
Xiao Ba wasn't idle either. With his short legs, he rushed to the four corners, took out a talisman from his vest, and used it to suppress the four human skin drums.
The vest was made by Long Nier. It had a small pocket in the front, which contained not only Long Nier's sleeping potion but also Fatty Lin's talisman for warding off evil.
After working for nearly ten minutes, the situation was finally stabilized.
Once the situation stabilized, we immediately rushed to the back.
Upon entering the mandala, they saw that the Banma master was being trampled under Shen Yuehong's feet, while Fatty Lin slumped to the side, panting heavily.
