Luo Yunyan became curious: "Who has been dead for more than ten years?"
The nun curled her lips and said, "That one over there, everyone in our temple knows him, the old Marquis of Yongding. It's quite pitiful, both of his sons are dead. The youngest son was even the top scholar in the imperial examination. What a pity."
However, this old marquis is a pitiful man and there must be something hateful about him.
His wife, the biological mother of his youngest son, was forced by him to come to Yunlan Temple and kneel down to chant sutras for his concubine and eldest son. She knelt for ten years and died in our temple. She must have been dead for more than ten years.
Luo Yunyan glanced at him from a distance again and asked curiously, "He's been dead for more than ten years, and you're only here to take a look?"
The young nun said, "I heard from my senior sisters and aunts that the Marquis of Yongding came here just after his wife passed away, but he went back halfway up the mountain. His daughter comes here often."
The wife of Marquis Yongding's last wish was to be buried in the cemetery of Yunlan Temple, where all the nuns who passed away in our temple are buried. She hoped to be buried there as a layman.
Because Marquis Yongding was not there, only his daughter was there. His daughter said that she would follow his last wishes, and he had been dead for two days, so our presiding nun took care of the ceremony.
She had lived in the temple for ten years, getting along well with everyone. Three or five close nuns wept breathlessly, and her daughter knelt before the spirit for three days. But the Marquis of Yongding never showed up.
On subsequent memorial days, I only saw her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and never the Marquis of Yongding."
Luo Yunyan asked curiously, "Then why did you suddenly change your mind and come sit here again?"
The young monk said, "Who knows? Maybe he's just grown old and his conscience has been awakened?"
Luo Yunyan said, "Those without conscience will always be without conscience. Where can we find out?"
The young nun said, "What you said makes sense, benefactor. Perhaps there is another reason."
Luo Yunyan added, "It sounds like her daughter still misses her mother."
The young nun said, "It's not easy. When the Wang family got into trouble, the Marquis of Yongding swapped his legitimate and illegitimate daughters for new wives. Now the legitimate daughter is still living a good life.
The concubine's daughter married into the Rongguo Mansion with a grand wedding, and this year she probably emptied out the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but it still doesn't work out."
Luo Yunyan asked, "Wang family? Who is this legitimate daughter?"
The nun said, "Shen Zhaoshu, the legitimate daughter of the Yongding Marquisate, married the current Minister Wang."
Luo Yunyan suddenly realized that this was Wang Xipei's mother. She also felt that the name Zhao Shu sounded familiar, so she asked, "What's her brother's name?"
The nun thought for a long time, and finally seemed to pull out a name from her memory: "It seems to be Zhaoming."
Luo Yunyan was almost petrified by this, so in the illusion, she saw the wife of the Marquis of Yongding and the siblings Shen Zhaoshu and Shen Zhaoming.
Was Shen Zhaoming really killed later?
Are these people and things real?
I said goodbye to the little nun and walked towards the temple at a brisk pace. When I arrived at the front of the temple, I saw a winding path, just like the one in the fantasy.
Once they reached the flat ground, they could see two, no, four, large water vats. Luo Yunyan looked around and found the rest of the scene was exactly the same as in the illusion.
Luo Yunyan felt confused and didn't know whether she was in a false illusion or the real world.
Zhang Baiyi and the abbot of Yunlan Temple went down the mountain and, according to the abbot's request, first selected several families with six to eight people suffering from the disease.
The nun went to these families and took the birth dates and horoscopes of everyone.
Finally, he said to Zhang Baiyi, "I know you are anxious, so I will tell you first.
All patients with amnesia have had their five elements taken away from them. This kind of seizure is easier to happen between family members.
Everyone is born with different five elements in their destiny. Some are born with all five elements, while others may only have four or three, for example, some lack gold or water.
And when the five elements are taken away from the person, they are replenished to his or her relatives. If the person with amnesia lacks gold in his or her fate, but has water, wood, fire and earth, then if his or her relatives lack water, wood, fire or earth in the five elements, all the elements will be taken from him or her.
Until all five elements of the amnesiac patient are taken away and supplied to other relatives.
People who have lost all five elements have a collapsed destiny and are unable to mobilize their three souls and seven spirits. They are the best candidates for the three souls to leave the body.
In order to make them lose all five elements and match them perfectly so that their relatives can use them, generally speaking, there should be more than five people in the family, or at least five people.
For example, a person with amnesia is lacking in gold in his destiny, but his relatives are also lacking in gold, and there are two or three relatives like this. The gold they want is exactly what the person with amnesia lacks, so they cannot be matched.
Therefore, almost all patients with amnesia come from large and prosperous families.
Because there are so many people, the likelihood of a match increases. If these few people don't match, maybe two or three more people will match them.
This lonely old man sent to the charity was one of those rare individuals born with a flawed destiny, lacking all five elements. Being born with all five elements is rare, but being born with flaws is even rarer. His files reveal that this old man had mental issues since childhood.
People with Tianqiu have incomplete minds, weak consciousness, and are very likely to have their three souls leave their bodies.
Now, each prefecture and county can verify it on their own. Please ask someone who understands the Five Elements to see if it is true."
As Zhang Baiyi continued giving orders, he asked, "Have you found the root cause now? How can we return the soul to its place?"
The nun said: "This is a problem. The five elements have returned to their positions, and the souls have returned to their places.
But in order to restore the five elements to their original places, one must first identify which relatives in a large family have taken away their five elements, compare their birth dates and eight characters, determine who took away what, and then perform a spell to restore them to their original places.
This will prevent the fate of the amnesia patient and his relatives from being changed.
But if I help them return to their place one by one in one day, it will take twenty years for the last one among the eight thousand people to return to his five elements and regain his lucidity.
I ask all the prefectures to recruit monks, nuns, and Taoists within their respective prefectures who are proficient in this art. If there are twenty of them, it will only take twenty days to decipher the Five Elements of four hundred people.
Within Kyoto, there are approximately sixty people who know this technique from Tianyuan Temple, Lingtai Temple, and Yunlan Temple combined. After they cure Kyoto of the soul-destroying syndrome, they can be sent to help throughout the territory."
