As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

Speeding all the way against the morning wind, the light of the soul rushes towards his face. Only when he closes his eyes can he see how crowded the world is.

As the sun set, the outline of the county could already be seen. Gu Zhou and Wuxin chatted endlessly. Sometimes he answered passively, and sometimes he took the initiative to talk about his own experience. Living for thousands of years made his life experience extremely rich.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Zhou frowned and looked, and there were seven or eight skinny beggars kowtowing. In the middle of them was a tall stone Buddha. The person was cut down with a single knife, and the face was neat.

The seven or eight beggars had been hungry for many days and were out of breath, but all of them looked extremely fanatical.

Wuxin, who had closed her eyes all the way, opened them suddenly, walked forward quickly, kicked the stone Buddha down, and then stomped a few times to smash the stone Buddha to pieces.

Those beggars suddenly raised their heads, each of them looked ferocious, their eyes were red, and they roared like wild animals.

Gu Zhou snorted coldly, all the beggars were struck by lightning, and they stood there floatingly as if they had lost their souls. After a few seconds, the redness in their eyes dissipated, and they regained their humanity. on the ground.

"Go get some food yourself!"

Gu Zhou took out a handful of oceans and sprinkled them all over the sky, one ocean for each person.

The beggars looked at a piece of ocean in their hands, showed ecstasy, and ran towards the county town.

The least of them starved for three days, and at most five days, they were about to starve to death.

And Wuxin seemed to be venting his anger, and stepped on the stone Buddha with all his strength, gnashing his teeth, with a ferocious expression on his face, as if the stone Buddha had a deep hatred with him that could not be washed away.

It wasn't until the stone Buddha was crushed to pieces that Wuxin sat on the ground slumped, panting heavily.

Uncle Jiu was even more surprised. This Wuxin, Wuxin, Soulless, and Soulless walked in the world. Logically, he should have supernatural abilities, but his physical strength seemed to be no different from that of ordinary people.

"Monk Wuxin, does this stone Buddha have a grudge against you?"

Gu Zhou knew in his heart that this stone Buddha bewitched those beggars to worship, it must be evil, but it was crushed by Wuxin, and there was no way to check it.  …

"Many years ago, I once entered a mountain village."

Wuxin got up, regained his composure, patted the dust off his body, and told what he saw many years ago.

"The mountain village is very remote. Due to the severe drought, the harvest was very poor. People in the village began to starve to death, and the trees and grass near the village were all eaten up. Some people began to look for food in the deeper mountains. "

"Someone went hunting and never came back. One day, a villager went hunting in the mountains. He went there for two days. Everyone in the village thought he was also buried in the belly of a beast deep in the mountains."

"Unexpectedly, on the third day, he came back. Not only was he all right, but he also brought back a lot of prey. He also told the villagers that there were wild beasts killing each other in the mountain, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain. Then the villagers followed him into the mountain to find each other. Sure enough, they brought back a lot of beasts, and the villagers were full."

"Since then, no one in the village has starved to death, but no one has ever left the village. They burn incense and worship Buddha at home every day. They don't have to do anything, they don't need to hunt, they don't need to farm, and they can eat enough. "

"People from the surrounding villages were curious, so they went to this village to check it out. After a while, other villages became like this village. They didn't need to hunt or farm, and they could eat their fill. What they had to do every day was 5.2 Burn incense and pray."

Uncle Jiu sneered: "You don't have to work, but you can burn incense and chant scriptures every day, so you can survive starvation? It's a big joke in the world. There must be evil spirits doing evil!"

"But when I passed this mountain village, I found that these villagers were all hungry and skinny, but they didn't know it. There were old people chatting in twos and threes at the village head, some children were playing and playing, and some women were doing front work. It looks like it’s about to starve to death, it’s like eating and drinking, living a leisurely life, and everyone has a weird smile on their faces.”

Wuxin paused, and took a long breath: "I saw their looks and smiles, and I was horrified. They saw me and warmly greeted me to enter the village. Each of them was dying of hunger, but they didn't know it." .

Chapter 150

"Imagine the scene where some so-called 'people' who were on the verge of starvation, skinny, or even starved to death greeted me warmly. They warmly invited me to have a vegetarian meal. I resisted the urge to run away and followed a group of people. A dead mummy went back to his house for dinner."

"When I arrived, I was stunned. This fasting meal has nothing to do with rice. The so-called fasting meal is to burn incense and kowtow to a faceless stone Buddha. I said you have been bewitched. This is not rice, and the mummified corpse is unknown. So, he smiled and said that he had prepared a sumptuous meal, and asked me why I didn’t eat it.”

"Then how did you do it?" Gu Zhou became interested and asked.

"I said I wasn't hungry, and then I ran out on the pretext that I wanted to take a stroll in the village. I walked around the village quickly and found that every household enshrined a stone Buddha. Those who were on the verge of death didn't know that they were People who are about to starve to death, starving to death like mummies don’t know that they are dead, and still live as before, the difference is that they no longer need to eat, and what they eat is to worship the stone Buddha as a meal.”

"I was in a hurry and said that the stone Buddha was evil. Those 06 people from the village went berserk on the spot, as if I had killed their whole family, all of them had red eyes and rushed towards me like wild beasts, trying to tear me apart."

"Fortunately, I have some ability, so I ran away, and then went to a few mountain villages around to check, and found that many mountain villages have fallen into the same situation. I starved myself to death, starved to a mummified corpse without knowing it."

"How did you solve it in the end?"

Gu Zhou believed that Wuxin was not someone who stood by and watched.

"Of course I had to find a way to solve it, so I started to investigate the origin of the stone Buddha, so as not to let such evil spirits spread, but one day, I went to the mountain villages to check and found that those mountain villages had been razed to the ground, and only A pile of ruins, the villagers didn't even leave a body."

Wuxin sighed deeply: "I have never given up investigating the origin of the stone Buddha, but since then, the stone Buddha seems to have disappeared, and I have never seen the stone Buddha again."

Gu Zhou frowned slightly: "All those beggars are the same as those villagers? Worshiping the stone Buddha and thinking that you are eating?"

"That's right! I'm going to continue to investigate the stone Buddha, you two, let's take my leave!"

Wuxin cupped his fists nondescriptly, and then left straight away.

Realizing that Uncle Jiu hadn't spoken for a long time, Gu Zhou looked at him, but saw that he was deep in thought, and thought: "Uncle Master, do you have a clue?"

"This stone Buddha reminds me of a ruined Buddhist temple, Wuxiang Temple. The practice philosophy of this Buddhist temple is that all appearances are non-existence. If you want to enter Wuxiang, you need all appearances."

"All appearances are good appearances, evil appearances, Buddha appearances, devil appearances, and sentient beings appearances, and finally reach the state of no appearance."

"30 years for Buddhas, dragons and elephants, 60 years for sentient beings, cattle and horses."

"One year, the abbot of Wuxiang Temple saw an abandoned baby at the gate of the temple. After raising him, the abandoned baby turned out to be a born Buddha. , if you want to achieve the status of sentient beings, you need to walk in the world of mortals."

"So the Buddha of the Wuxiang Temple bid farewell to the presiding officer. After traveling in the world of mortals for three years, who would have known that what the Buddha saw in the world of mortals were all mortals fighting for power and profit and killing each other."

"Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony and lust are countless sins. At the beginning, he upheld the Dharma and persuaded people to be good, but he could persuade one, ten, but not a hundred or a thousand. 1."

"So the Buddha thought that the world is full of darkness and filth of human nature, which cannot be changed."

"These selfish and cannibalistic human beings are hopeless, and even the world in which they were born is sick."

"He believes that there should be right and wrong in everything. Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. If you are guilty, you should be punished. If you are sick, you should be cured. Human beings don't try the despair of the last days, and they don't know their own insignificance and ignorance."

"Buddhism is not omnipotent, and it cannot overcome the suffering and evil in the world, so his thinking has undergone extreme changes, and he put forward a shocking concept."

"Since the hell is empty and the demons are in the world, let's destroy the world. With the power of destroying the world, clean up the world and clean up the so-called sins, making the world a vast expanse of whiteness. It may be painful before cleaning, but after cleaning, it will be You can scatter beauty in a world that is as white as paper, and put an end to evil from now on.”

The corners of Gu Zhou’s eyes twitched. Isn’t this shit just crazy? There are also some people who are extremely world-weary in modern times who have this kind of thinking. It is usually the product of extreme dissatisfaction with the status quo of life and extreme boredom. The reason hates human beings themselves, and believes that human beings are a race that destroys the balance of nature and should not exist.

They want to destroy everything in sight.Because the psychology of extreme hatred of society cannot be vented and alleviated, it gradually evolved into hatred for all existence.

"The world is filthy." Gu Zhou tutted.

Uncle Jiu was stunned, and nodded: "That's right, his extreme ideas deviate from Buddhism, which aroused the vigilance of Wuxiang Temple. The whole Wuxiang Temple debated with him again and again, trying to persuade him to turn around, but in the end everyone was defeated by him." In desperation, he had no choice but to imprison him in 587. One day, he found a chance to escape, and not long after, Wuxiang Temple became ruins."

Gu Zhoudao: "Isn't this just madness? I'm stuck in my own world and can't extricate myself, and I have my own set of meticulous logic chains. This kind of person, just arguing with him, can't make him change. Let me do it." Said to directly destroy his logic chain with violence."

"Only by violence?" Uncle Jiu was taken aback.

Gu Zhou chuckled: "Slap him once, don't change it? Beat him again? If you don't change it, keep beating until he changes his theory. If you don't change it? If you want to destroy the world, destroy you first."

Uncle Jiu said helplessly: "Wuxiang Temple believes that he will definitely become a Buddha and become a patriarch. As long as there is a chance, they will not kill him."

"What happened after he escaped?"

Gu Zhou asked.

Uncle Jiu continued: "Naturally, he will continue to spread his idea of ​​destroying the world, and establish himself as the Buddha of destroying the world, that is, the sect of the Buddha of destroying the world. The idea is that human nature is inherently evil."

"The Mieshi Buddha Sect fundamentally subverts the Buddhist concept. On the one hand, human nature is inherently evil, and on the other hand, it is persuading people to be upward, which cannot be reconciled. Therefore, the eight major sects of Buddhism Zen, Tantric, and Pure Land Sects rarely unite to strangle the Mieshi Buddha Sect and clean it up. portal."

Chapter 151

Gu Zhou nodded. There may be filth in Buddhism, but the overall idea must be to persuade people to be good, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"Although he is a natural born Buddha, those eminent monks who have attained the Tao of Zen Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism are not necessarily weaker than him. The background of the Mieshi Buddha Sect is far inferior to the eight major sects of Buddhism, and they were strangled to death without exception."

"Buddhism has successfully cleaned up the sect. Most of the believers of the World-Mie Buddha Sect are dead or disabled. The World-Mie Buddha has disappeared."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Jiu shook his head: "But I don't know whether the Stone Buddha has anything to do with the Mieshi Buddha Sect. If there is, it means the Mieshi Buddha Sect has revived."

"If the Mieshi Buddha sect revives, the major sects of Buddhism must be the easiest. If it can be confirmed, let them know at a certain time...the county is here."

Speechless for a day.

After resting for one night, the two continued to set off. After passing by the city gate, Gu Zhou heard two people talking:

"Have you heard that another Buddha in the flesh was born in Lingci Temple?"

"Another flesh-body Buddha was born. A flesh-body Buddha was born in Lingci Temple three years ago."

This person was a little surprised.

The two gradually moved away, their voices gradually disappeared, and they were drowned in the noisy crowd.

Gu Zhou felt something was wrong.

Flesh Buddhas are eminent monks who have passed away, and each of them is one of the top ten eminent monks with perfect virtues and blessings. Even if a flesh Buddha is born in the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, it is a sensational event among the eight major sects of Buddhism.

That is such a precious and rare thing, Gu Zhou of Lingci Temple has never heard of it, which proves that this Lingci Temple is not a big sect of Buddhism, but a sect that dominates the whole place like Qingyun Temple.

"Don't meddle too much in Buddhist affairs."

Uncle Jiu just said something lightly, and with a wave of his right hand, eight armored horse talismans were attached to the four hooves of the two horses. The speed increased in vain, and they galloped towards Xiangxi.

What Gu Zhou didn't know was that Wuxin had already entered Lingci Temple.

…………

A day later, the two finally arrived in western Hunan, and the terrain became more and more remote. Sometimes there were no people for dozens of miles.

As night fell, and there were still forty or fifty miles away from the town, Gu Zhou and Uncle Jiu were not in a hurry. Anyway, they were both very human. If there were ghosts and ghosts in this barren mountain, they would be the unlucky ones.

The wind gusts in the mountains and forests make the leaves rustle, projecting ghostly shadows with teeth and claws in the hazy night, and the wild beasts roaring in the mountains make people chill.

Suddenly, Gu Zhou and Jiu Shu dismounted together, and led the horses to the side of the path.

It turned out that there was a "jingling bell" in the distance, which was faintly visible in the sound of the wind, like a soul-destroying bell, which made people's hair stand on end.

Both of them knew clearly that this was the bell for exorcising corpses.

According to the rules of exorcising corpses, if you encounter exorcising corpses, you should avoid them.

As members of the Maoshan sect, the two should abide by the sect's rules.

Then, a hoarse and deep voice mixed with the ringing came: "The yin man is on the road! The yang man avoids!"¨!"

Of the five Maoshan veins, only the one of the corpses is transmitted from the outside to the inside.

Zombie hunting first originated in western Hunan. 800 years ago, a corpse-hunting person visited Maoshan Mountain, and eventually ascended to immortality.

The terrain in western Hunan is complex, barren, and hilly. Some foreigners died in western Hunan, and the Chinese nation had a deep concept of returning to their hometowns for burial. The corpse exorcisers, using the corpse exorcism technique, took the corpses back to their hometown for burial.

Gradually, the art of driving corpses is no longer limited to western Hunan, nor is it limited to simply driving corpses back to their hometowns.

There are many people who died in vain, their lives were not exhausted, they were brutally murdered, their resentment was deep, and their resentment was hard to quell after death, the worse their death, the more resentment they would have after death.

The corpses of these extremely resentful people are easy to turn into corpses, or turn into ghosts, and ordinary people dare not approach them at all.

At this time, it is still necessary for a professional exorcist to come forward, suppress the resentment, control the corpse, and prevent it from becoming a corpse.

But after all, there is still the danger of corpse transformation.

Among them, the collision of yang and yang energy causing corpse change is one of the greatest dangers.

And because the corpse has a lot of resentment, if the yang people are weaker, they will also be hit, resulting in serious illness and even death.

So the corpse chasers chased the corpses at night and rang the bell to remind the Yang people not to approach.

Dangdang Dangdang!

He yelled, shook the bell, and approached slowly from a distance.

"Hey, why does this voice sound familiar?"

Uncle Jiu frowned and recalled:

"It's a bit like your four-eyed uncle's voice, but I saw him not long ago, and his voice is not like this."

Gu Zhou shook his eyes, and saw a group of pedestrians appearing in the dense forest path a hundred meters away, forming a long snake formation. At the front was a tall and thin man with a mustache, glasses, and short hair in a yellow Taoist robe. man.

The man is holding a box that looks like a shrine in both hands. There are dense bells hanging around the box, and there is a lamp in the box.

Behind him, there are seven or eight "persons" who describe their behavior as strange, each of them is connected together by straw ropes, wearing a grassland, wearing a bamboo hat, and a black cloth is hung on the bamboo hat, completely covering the face in the black cloth I can't see their faces clearly.

But through the gaps in the shaking black cloth, one can vaguely see a talisman on their foreheads, and their walking style is different from that of ordinary people, jumping straight forward.

"' It really has four eyes, how did the voice become like this?"

Uncle Jiu also saw clearly the face of the corpse exorciser, who was the four-eyed Taoist from Maoshan's lineage of worshiping gods.

As for why the four-eyed Taoist of the divine lineage was invited to chase away the corpses, it can only be explained by the fact that this lineage is too decayed, and there is no real person who is of the same generation as Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian.

The one with the highest cultivation level is Simu (Li Qianzhao), who has not yet broken through to the state of Qi Transformation God, and still needs to drive corpses to maintain his cultivation.

As for the reason for the decline of the Godliness lineage, Gu Zhou has also heard about it, and it has something to do with Shi Dakai, the Wing King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
