Journey to the West, there are nine golden crows in me

Chapter 288
With a sway of his body, Jiang Chen's figure left the meeting hall and came to a huge square.

This square, located halfway up the mountain, is a natural stone platform with a large area, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Before Jiang Chen came here, more than [-] disciples from the Shangqing lineage had all gathered here, silently waiting for Jiang Chen's arrangement.

Zhang Heng and others had already prepared the altar that Jiang Chen needed. It was made of high-quality white jade.

In front of the altar, there stood a cauldron, which was none other than the oven of heaven and earth refined by Jiang Chen with the power of heaven and earth.

On the altar, there is a statue of a god enshrined, not Empress Houtu, but her incarnation, one of the four emperors, Houtu Huang Dizhi.

Empress Houtu has been reclusive for many years, and there are almost no legends about her in the Three Realms. Jiang Chen couldn't find her idol, so he had to make the next best thing and enshrine her incarnation.

However, the problem is not big, the avatar is an extension of the body, and worshiping the avatar is not much different from worshiping the body.On both sides of the statue, there are two treasures, namely the Nether Banner and the Salvation Lamp.

Whether Jiang Chen can successfully send ghosts into reincarnation, the key lies in Empress Houtu and these two magic weapons.Not to mention the Nether Banner and the Salvation Lamp, both are treasures of the ghost realm.

Then Empress Tu, she created the six realms of reincarnation with her body, and is the real master of reincarnation.As long as her consent is obtained, it is not an easy task to open the reincarnation channel and send those ghosts into reincarnation.

Therefore, Jiang Chen worshiped Empress Houtu this time, not the sage of the Qing Dynasty.Such things as reincarnation are obviously more professional in Empress Houtu.

Daozu came in person, and he was not as good as Houtu Empress.

Glancing at the group of disciples below from the corner of his eye, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Today, the poor Taoist has a great merit to share with you. Are you willing to help the poor Taoist?"

The disciples below heard the words, although they didn't know what great merit it was, but they thought that since the patriarch said so, it must be a good thing, so they ordered to reply: "The disciples are willing to help the patriarch."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Jiang Chen ordered again: "You are here to recite the Sutra of Saving People, so as to help the poor achieve success."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chen turned around, facing the altar, and saw that he first lit the lamp of salvation with the power of his merit.Then, he took out three long incense sticks from the storage device, lit them with the light of the saving lamp, and inserted them into the oven of heaven and earth.

In the end, Jiang Chen bowed three times to the statue of Empress Houtu, and then picked up the ghost banner on the other side of the statue.

At this time, all the disciples had already followed Jiang Chen's instructions and chanted the Sutra of Salvation of Human Beings in unison. The faint Taoist sound echoed among the green mountains, as if resonating with the heaven and the earth.

After reciting the scriptures a hundred times, Jiang Chen seemed to feel that the time had come. With a sudden force in his hand, a faint divine light burst out from the Nether Banner. Immediately, ghosts flew out of it, either standing in the void, or standing in the sky. on the top of the mountain.

In an instant, the temperature in Qingcheng Mountain dropped a lot, as if it had entered a cold autumn, the temperature was frighteningly low, and people shivered inexplicably.

Hundreds of millions of ghosts appeared together, and the yin energy emitted by the vastness was so terrifying, that is to say, the living people on the mountain were all monks, with cultivation bases, and they had already recited the Sutra of Saving Human Beings a hundred times and obtained the power of heaven and earth blessing.

Otherwise, if he is rushed by this powerful yin energy, even if he does not die, he will suffer a serious illness, which will damage his foundation and greatly reduce his lifespan.

After all the ghosts emerged, Jiang Chen bowed again to the statue of Empress Houtu, and said, "The empress is above, and Jiang Chen, a monk from the lower realm, has something to report. There is chaos in the Netherworld today, and there are evil spirits causing harm to the world, so that Hundreds of millions of ghosts stay in the world and cannot be reincarnated."

"That's why, Jiang Chen begged His Majesty to show mercy outside the law, open the reincarnation channel, and send these innocent ghosts to turn around and reincarnate."

"Your Majesty is merciful, Jiang Chen pays respects."

The sincere voice, accompanied by the curling green smoke, rose into the void and spread to an unknown place, where Houtu Niangniang practiced.

Immediately, Jiang Chen felt that an incomparably stalwart will descended, and the statue of Empress Houtu in front of him was completely different, as if it had come to life.

A pair of eyes full of great love and compassion emerged from the statue, first glanced at Jiang Chen, and then at the ghosts all over the mountains and plains.

huh~~ huh~~
Inexplicably, there was a wind blowing from the mountains, bringing its whistling sound.

Afterwards, the void here was distorted, and countless rules emerged, mysterious and mysterious, twisting together with the void.

Gradually, a huge, pitch-black vortex manifested, exuding a mysterious aura.This is the passage of reincarnation, the passage of reincarnation opened by Empress Houtu herself, ancient and mysterious.

Rumble!
The vortex rotates, emitting a huge suction force, rolling the boundless wind and cloud, absorbing all the hundreds of millions of dead souls on Qingcheng Mountain, and reincarnated.

Reincarnating through this reincarnation channel, there is no need to drink Mengpo soup. There is a mysterious power of reincarnation surging in the channel, which can wash away all memories and ensure that these ghosts are as clean as a piece of white paper before reincarnation.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiang Chen gradually felt relieved. With Empress Houtu taking action, even if the problem of hundreds of millions of ghosts is solved, he will also reap some merit.

Helping hundreds of millions of ghosts reincarnate and reincarnate, the merit that can be obtained is not small.

……

…………

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the number of ghosts on Qingcheng Mountain became less and less, and the number changed from hundreds of millions to millions. It is estimated that they will all enter reincarnation in a short time.

But Jiang Chen looked at it, but felt something was wrong.He suddenly discovered that there are a group of ghosts who are resisting the power of reincarnation and do not want to be reincarnated.

Empress Houtu is merciful and will not force others. Since these ghosts do not want to be reincarnated, Empress Houtu will not force them either.

After being picked up three times, these ghosts were still unwilling to enter the channel of reincarnation, so Empress Hou Tu didn't care about them and let them stay in the world.

Looking at the ghosts who resisted the power of reincarnation, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.A surge of anger welled up in my heart, everyone is dead, why should I be so attached to the world, reincarnate earlier, and start all over again, wouldn't it be good?
But anger was anger, and Jiang Chen still couldn't say a word after all.It is very normal for ghosts not to be reincarnated, and it has existed since ancient times.Otherwise, where did so many ghosts come from?

Isn't it just those ghosts who don't want to reincarnate, who take the netherworld as their home and live there.

As for why these ghosts do not want to reincarnate, there are many reasons, such as nostalgia for the world, or obsession, or unable to let go of certain old things, etc.

In short, there are many reasons.
