Nine idlers

Chapter 18 Zhongyuan Ghost Gate (This chapter is free)

In the world of practice, besides the orthodox Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, there are also heretic sects, among which those with considerable influence are the lower classes, they are Wen, Wu, Nong, Physician, Actress, Witch, Beggar, Hooligan, and Prostitute.Among them, Xu Changqing and the Meng family belonged to Wen, and what they did belonged to the master's staff. The Zhong family and the Shi family belonged to the shaman class, walking between the world and the world of practice, and Hu Yueniang belonged to the prostitute.Although the people of the lower ranks do not practice the Dao, their influence in the secular world is far greater than those of the authentic ones.

Among the entire lower-class forces, the two families of prostitutes and actresses are the most despicable.Although these two sects are the most lowly and lowly, it does not mean that they are the weakest side sect forces. There are many strange people in these two sects, even if the three sects are authentic, Hu Yueniang is one of them.

Hu Yueniang was originally an aristocrat from Beiping, and her family believed in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Since she was a child, she practiced the Six Accomplishments of Tantric Buddhism with a master of the Black Sect.Later, she was imprisoned by the master of the Black Sect with a secret method, and forced to practice joyful meditation. She took away her cultivation base and natal yin, and died on the spot.But what the Black Sect master didn't know was that Hu Yueniang had already practiced the bardo achievement of the Six Achievements Method, and immediately took the body of a Bada Hutong girl after her death, and came back to life like a corpse.

Due to this accident, and the fact that her natal soul was poisoned by the black sect master, her temperament changed drastically, and she willingly started the business opened by the Pengmen every night. Later, she He also designed and framed the black teacher, regained his cultivation base, and made the bones and true spirit of the black teacher into a set of powerful magic weapons. Made a name for himself.

It turned out that she had been establishing influence in the north all along, and because she offended a certain dignitary, she was wounded by an expert of the Tibetan Nyingma sect invited by that dignitary, but instead of killing her, the expert gave her a This Dzogchen Heart Sutra is to make up for the lack of its six attainments.

In order to avoid conflicts with many famous sects in the north, she drifted to the south, and worshiped under Feng Sanniang's sect, a prostitute, and learned from the Yin-Yang Acacia Golden Elixir of Taoism. In the end, he became the well-deserved head of the prostitution.Under her leadership, the unorthodox prostitutes began to change the situation, and gradually used their own advantages to make friends with powerful people. A large number of prostitutes who possessed heresy skills such as fox charm became concubines of some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, expanding the prostitution. Impact.Moreover, the prostitutes no longer only accept some prostitutes who are full of morality as disciples. In those hook bars, as long as they are a little bit famous and beautiful, they will be accepted as peripheral disciples by the prostitutes. The door has become the strongest force in the lower class.

Later, Hu Yueniang accidentally fell in love with Xu Changqing's master, who was the owner of Yizhuang in the previous generation. Xu Changqing's master did not dislike Hu Yueniang's background, and wanted to use the method of yin and yang harmony to form the golden core road, so he became a Taoist couple.And Hu Yueniang also reciprocated. After becoming Master Xu Changqing's Taoist companion, she became a good wife and mother, and she seemed to be good.

Although Xu Changqing didn't like Hu Yueniang very much at the time, he didn't hate her as much as he does now.But when Xu Changqing's master passed away because the golden elixir had expired, Xu Changqing found out that his mistress was actually having an affair with a young Taoist disciple who came to worship in the master's mourning hall.Xu Changqing, who was mad at that time, resorted to the Taoist's strongest Shangqing Shenxiao Wulei gun, and smashed the Taoist disciple to death on the spot. Hu Yueniang lost [-]% of her cultivation, and fled to Suzhou's lair to hide for ten years dare not come out.As for why Xu Changqing didn't go to her Suzhou lair and kill her later, it was mainly because he wanted to abide by his master's last wish and not to embarrass Hu Yueniang, which shows that his master also knew that Hu Yueniang was definitely not a person who could keep her chastity 'The Lord.

Due to the great reduction of Hu Yueniang's cultivation base, the power of the prostitutes has weakened, and several other low-level forces have also begun to imitate the prostitutes to establish a unified sect. Chamber fights.As for the other low-level forces, although they are still scattered, they have found some inspiration from the rise of the prostitutes, and gradually combined with the secular dignitaries to influence everything in the world from the other hand.Hu Yueniang can be said to have contributed a lot to the low-level heresy that is so active in this era. Therefore, among the heresy that only sees benefits, Hu Yueniang also has a lot of personal prestige, and she can be regarded as a person who can talk.

"Master," Xu Changqing put a stick of incense on his master in front of the memorial tablet of the nine-time idlers in the past, and said to himself: "The woman who came this time must not be as she said, for those things. The Magical Artifact! Since it’s not for the Magical Artifact, then what is she doing here at the risk of being injured by me again?”

Xu Changqing closed his eyes for a while and thought for a while, then opened them suddenly, and said with a sneer: "So, she wants to use the true power of Buddhism and Taoism in this Water and Land Ceremony to repair the cracks in her body. In the past ten years, I have almost comprehended the Dzogchen Heart Sutra of Tantra."

"Do you want to stop it?" Xu Changqing's face showed hesitation again, and he sighed after thinking for a long time, and murmured: "Forget it, let her go! After all, she is still in the middle of heresy. Small prestige, offending her too much, is not good."

Xu Changqing made up his mind, turned and left the house, and walked into the yard.At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, and the water and land ceremony by the river on the side of the mountain city has also begun at this moment. Even if Xu Changqing doesn't use his divine eyes, he can clearly see that there are more clouds in the sky with his Taoist eyes. There are quite a few holes, and countless hungry ghosts from the underworld drilled out of the holes one after another, floating towards the dimly lit place below.The Hungry Ghost Festival in July and a half is a chance for heaven to give hungry ghosts who have not entered the six realms of reincarnation a chance to eat their stomachs, and it is also a chance for ordinary people to accumulate merit.According to the custom, on this day, every family will put various offerings at the door of the house, then set up a brazier, burn some Mingqian Mingyi, and spend it for the hungry ghosts in Huangquan to keep out the cold.

Although Xu Changqing didn't know whether Mingyi Mingqian could be used in Huangquan, he knew that it was true that hungry ghosts came out to eat offerings.After the ghost gate was opened, many hungry ghosts rushed towards Peach Blossom Mountain. It seemed that the peaches on Peach Blossom Mountain that didn't bear fruit until July seemed to be very popular with hungry ghosts.After the hungry ghosts passed through the peaches, the painful expressions on their faces seemed to be relieved and filled with a sense of satisfaction. The black energy entangled in the hungry ghosts also left their ghost bodies, attached Peaches on top.After all the peaches were eaten by the hungry ghosts, those hungry ghosts who hadn't eaten the peaches could only make horrible ghost screams, and after circling twice in the sky over Peach Blossom Mountain, they flew towards the mountain city unwillingly.

When the hungry ghosts left, a large group of white-headed crows began their long-awaited meal for a year, and they fell down overwhelmingly, occupying the peach trees, and quickly pecking at those that had been eaten by the ghosts. peach.Among the crows, the hundreds of white-headed crows, which are the largest and have a sharp black horn on their heads, did not grab the peaches on the mountain, but quietly parked on the eaves around the Yizhuang, all the way. Pairs of fiery red eyes are staring at more than 2000 human face peaches placed on the bamboo shelf in the middle of the yard.

It is not the first time that Paperman Zhang has cooperated with Xu Changqing. He and his disciples spent a day building a Jiugong bamboo frame in the yard of Yizhuang. More than 2000 lanterns were all hung on the bamboo frame. The nine sets of boys and girls and crane paper bundles were fixed on the shelf according to the nine palaces.There is also a relatively short bamboo stand under the bamboo stand, on which are placed those peaches with human faces, and the resentful souls in those peaches with human faces seem to be affected by the yin energy of the gate of hell, and are constantly struggling, like It's like wanting to rush out of the peach.

At this moment, Xu Changqing was standing in front of the incense altar with a mahogany heart sword in his hand, reciting mantras such as calming the mind, reassuring the soul, eliminating disasters, and crossing karma in sequence. Under the false finger of the peach wood sword, the real essence flew to the sky above the human face peach, releasing the power of the spell.The resentful souls in the peach on the human face gradually settled down, and at the same time, under the action of Taoist power, the peach emitted a faint silver light,

When Xu Changqing walked faster and faster, his body seemed to become a huge black hole, absorbing all the thin aura of this world into his body.If you look carefully, you will find that the trees around Taohua Mountain are leaning slightly towards Yizhuang. At the same time, above the sky of Taohuashan, with the center directly above Yizhuang, there is a rather large swirl of clouds.

"Decree of Tiangang, the true spirits of the four directions, for my use, protect my Dharma body, hurry up like a law, get up the altar!" Following Tiangang's steps to the last step, Xu Changqing used his steps to gather the heaven and earth aura that was extremely mixed. As for himself, he had nowhere to vent, making his body almost burst by the aura of heaven and earth.The long gown on his body, which is already regarded as a spiritual treasure, absorbs the aura of heaven and earth as much as possible under the efforts of the inner and outer circulation of the gown, and tempers himself, and the Tai Chi Eight Diagrams hidden on the back of the gown also emerges.After chanting the mantra, without any hesitation, he transferred the aura of heaven and earth into the mahogany sword, turned it into pure Dao power, and then divided it into more than 2000 strands of Dao power, and injected them into the lantern, the paper man and the paper crane in turn. .

I saw that with the injection of Dao power, more than 2000 lanterns lit up together, and the nine sets of paper piercing figures and cranes fixed on the bamboo frame according to the nine palaces turned into two wearing bellybands and tied up. The fairy boy with shofar braids and a huge crane, holding on to the bamboo frame, were suspended together under the action of Taoism.

Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, pinched the dharma seal with his hands, circulated his true energy, drew amulets towards the pile of human faces, and read: "The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual, Dao Qi will last forever, break the dharma, and awaken the spirit!"

The talisman painted by Xu Changqing in mid-air emitted red light and instantly grew larger, covering the pile of human-faced peaches, and then the power of the talisman melted into the peaches.I only heard the sound of popping one after another, the peaches were split from the middle of the painful faces, and a ghost with a face full of relief came out of the crack, suspended on the peaches and the dangling Between the lantern frames, the blue light from the ghost's body made the surroundings plunge into a blue color.In addition to the released resentful souls coming out of the peaches, more than 2000 resentment from the souls also rushed out, which shocked all the white-headed and black-horned crows around.

More than 2000 strands of resentment collided in the yard with sharp eyes. Xu Changqing pointed his sword at the jasper gourd on the side of the incense altar. Zhu Sha quickly drew a spirit-gathering talisman on the talisman paper, folded it into a small cube, ignited it by running the real fire, put it into the gourd, and said: "Resentment from all directions, listen to my order, and accept it!"

Under Xu Changqing's Taoist order, the grievances around immediately seemed to find a home, and they all rushed into the gourd. When the last grievance was absorbed into the gourd, the plug suspended in mid-air fell down. , just plugged the mouth of the gourd, and then he smeared the gourd tightly with cinnabar, and he was relieved.

At this time, one by one souls floated under the lantern frame, undulating and swimming, but the lantern frame seemed to have an invisible barrier, blocking any wandering souls who wanted to get out of the frame.Those paper boys and cranes also emitted a faint golden light, gradually spreading the light to the entire bamboo frame, it looked like the bamboo frame was made of gold.

"You are all resentful ghosts wandering in the yang world. They should have been burned for a hundred years in the fiery hell to get rid of their grievances." Xu Changqing cupped his fists at those souls and said with a solemn expression: "I am a nine-year-old idler with the spirit of heaven. The virtue of being good at life, I can't bear the pain of the burning fire, so I use my body to help you get rid of your grievances. Taking advantage of today's day when the Zhongyuan Ghost Gate opens, I will send you into the six realms of reincarnation and reincarnation. I hope that your next life will be peaceful An An, all the best."

Those ghosts seemed to be able to hear Xu Changqing's words, and they all bowed to Xu Changqing gratefully, opening and closing their mouths as if they were saying something grateful.

At this time, at the place where the Water and Land Ceremony was held at the foot of the mountain, a huge and pure Buddhist and Taoist power criss-crossed upwards, soaring straight into the sky. The independent ghost gates in the sky gradually expanded under the influence of this Buddhist and Taoist real power. Fused together, it finally turned into a huge ghost gate covering the entire Chen Jiachong.And Xu Changqing, through the Taoist Heavenly Eye, saw that as the true power of Buddhism and Taoism continued to rise, the little samsara divine light in the center of the ghost gate became bigger and bigger, from the size of a small fist to a ball of light as big as a house. Many hungry ghosts who were already full rushed towards the ray of light impatiently.
