The sword is the devil

Chapter 431 Shanyin Ghost Festival
Hou Tiao completely dismissed the opportunity to open his mouth to Li Chuping to get access to the underground storage. He knew very well that if he didn't understand the ghost festival, he would never be able to open his mouth.

Immediately began to collect information about the Shanyin Ghost Festival in Sikong Mansion, not only from past records, but also from the mouths of colleagues.

Except for Li Chuping, he has no relatives in the Sikong mansion, but when he has a mouth, he speaks only when he eats. It is not surprising that there are many polite people. There are many people in the Sikong mansion with weird tempers, and there are also many people who are arrogant and withdrawn, but Wen Zhili is willing to help newcomers There are many.

Ask more and open your mouth more, and if you have enough etiquette and attitude, there is nothing you can't understand. There is no big secret about the Shan'in Ghost Festival.

The Shanyin Ghost Festival, once every 12 years, is a festival in Splendid Continent that does not belong to mortal humans; in the mortal world, there are countless festivals and festivals about ghosts and the destination of people after death, Shangyuan, Qingming, Chongyang, Fengdu Wait, each region and each country also has its own traditional habits.

But the Shanyin Ghost Festival is continent-wide, and it is exclusive to the underworld. In the world, only human monks can participate, as well as the souls of ordinary mortals who died during this period.

To put it simply, there are countless ghost festivals in the Splendid Continent, but only the Shanyin Ghost Festival is a festival where real ghosts and ghosts participate.

This is the essential difference.

Every 12 years, the government of the underworld will hold such an event. The purpose seems to be to coordinate communication between the world and the underworld, deepen mutual understanding, eliminate strangeness, and prevent each other from seeing each other as a dangerous road to hell.

Of course, this saying has a long history, and I don’t know how far it has changed now?
A more reliable statement is that the underworld needs yang energy to be neutralized and adjusted every once in a while to achieve internal balance in the underworld. This balancing process takes twelve days, once every 12 years.

At that time, the dark atmosphere of the underworld will pervade the entire Splendid Continent, and it is the season of spring at the end of winter. In the mortal world, it will appear as a haze for more than ten consecutive days. When ghosts run.

Ghosts keep pouring out and roaming the continent. Eventually, the ghost group will gather in a certain area between the mortal world and the underworld, and start their festival. This is probably the process.

Ordinary people can't see them, and they won't appear in front of the world, and they won't interfere with all kinds of things in the world; in the eyes of Hou Tiao, this process is more like a kind of ghost messenger from the underworld coming out to breathe the wind and get some sunshine. gas process?
The underground ghost messengers are the absolute protagonists of this festival,

Human monks are the supporting roles of this festival; due to the restrictions of Yin Qi and ghost fog, high-level monks cannot enter; or this is also a compromise reached between the underworld and the world of human cultivation, and only practitioners in the three realms of Tongtian can participate.

Hou Tiao had entered the Tongxuan Realm for less than 12 years, so he couldn't feel the Shanyin Ghost Festival last time, but this time it was just right.

Not every cultivator of the three realms of human beings is eligible to participate. They must be allowed by the sects of the national forces and hold a special talisman to be allowed to watch this grand meeting of ghosts.

As far as the realm of practice is concerned, in the Yin Qi Ghost Mist, one must be at least at the second level of the sky to move freely. If you want to take it easy, you'd better send monks from the third level of the sky to participate.

Supervise, observe, abstain from certain unpleasant events;
This is not a good job, because there is no profit, and the underworld ghost messengers don't seem to be a good role to deal with. They always have such a feeling of saying that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes, and they are envious and jealous. In it, there is a certain complacency and exclusion.

Fortunately, there are only twelve days, so there is no delay.

"Shanyin Ghost Festival is originally an interaction between the underworld and the human world. It is normal for ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and order maintainers of the underworld to practice. They need to be contaminated with yang energy to adjust."

An old repairer who sits in the class is very leisurely, and he is ready to be a teacher when he is old. In Sikong Mansion, there are not many people who are willing to solve problems, but even fewer people are brave enough to ask questions.

"Is it true that all ghost messengers from the underworld will come? Doesn't that mean that I can see the living King of Hades on the Shanyin Ghost Festival?"

Lao Xiu just laughed, "How is that possible? The high-ranking officials in the underworld will not come. They are strong enough, and they don't need to come to the yang world to be contaminated with yang energy. Don't say anything about the ten halls of Yama. It is the judge below, Meng Po, who is black and white. Bull head horse noodles, they are also unnecessary.

But there are more small officials in the underworld. It is said that there are twenty-four divisions: Yinyang Division, Quick Report Division, Gongcao Division, Merit and Demerit Division, Zhufu Division, Plague Division, Induction Division, Punishment Division, and Merit Examination Division...

These small officials have limited cultivation, low strength, and usually have no chance to come to the world, so such a ghost festival is needed to adjust the balance of yin and yang.

Well, judging from the past history, it is generally black and white impermanence or a bull-headed horse-face who is responsible for guiding and commanding, and they are the highest-ranking officials of the underworld that can be seen.

But their strength is not the same as human cultivation, there is a big gap between them, so no one can tell what level they are at?
According to the guesses of those who have been there, maybe black and white impermanence is on Jindan?The bull head and horse face should reach the two realms of heaven and queen?This matter is incomparable, the set of things in the underworld is not comparable to the cultivation system we are familiar with. "

Hou Tiao was puzzled, "It's just an exchange meeting, what could be unexpected? They keep their own worlds, and there is no conflict of interest. Why is it so serious?"

Lao Xiu played with the taste: "This is a theoretical thing, maybe it is like this in history; but you have to understand that everything is changing, human beings are changing, and ghosts and ghosts are also changing, so how can there be any unchanging rules?

Just like our Yanmen Quanzhen, how many of the rules left by our ancestors are we still adhering to?

Therefore, the current ghost messenger is no longer the original ghost messenger, and there are many unsatisfactory places;
Similarly, there are also monks from different sects in the mainland during the Ghost Festival, and the relationship between them is hard to describe. On such an occasion, what do you think will happen?

Coupled with the large gathering of souls who died in the mortal world during the past 12 years, all kinds of appeals for grievances, ghosts crying and wolves howling, it is not an ordinary chaos.

There are even some talented monks who can break into the scene without a talisman, tsk tsk..."

Hou Tiao was a little speechless, "So confused?"

Lao Xiu sighed, "So, in history, various sects randomly sent a monk to show off and support the table; the disciples they sent later became more and more capable, because they had to face many unexpected accidents.

This is also a way to expand the inheritance of Taoism. For example, if a large number of ghosts gather, if they can fall in love with a different and powerful Taoism, then they may have a soft spot for this Taoism after reincarnation in the future... etc. and so on and so forth. "

Hou Tiao shook his head, "Everyone has gone to the underworld, why do you want to bring them back to the world again, isn't it superfluous?"

Old Xiu spread his hands, "Who knows? I heard that it's a soul-friendly initiative from the underworld, to give these dead souls a last chance to see their relatives and friends in the mortal world, so as to reassure them."

Hou Tiao, "Then what if you see your enemy is still alive and well?"
