Fang Xushan was just pulled out of the illusion, and after a while, he realized what Xie Lingya meant, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "I saw an evil spirit whipping a rotting corpse, and then someone told me, That's my past life."
Xie Lingya imagined that this scene might be more frightening than the mountains of bones from his previous life.
The illusion is too real, and now Fang Xushan's face turns pale when he thinks about it, "That evil thing deceives me, and if I believe in it, I will get the Arhat Fruit."
"Why do you still have a professional title? If I ask if there are five insurances and one housing fund, it will give me back and forth!" Xie Lingya thought that he was a liar and couldn't believe it at all.
Taoists: "..."
"Leave that aside, are you all okay?" Xie Lingya asked.
The Taoist priests were only mentally stimulated in the illusion, and maybe they were shaken, but fortunately they got away in time.
Xie Lingya went to help Shi Changxuan again. After using the Liujin Fire Bell, his legs were weaker, and Lian Tan was still sitting on the ground in meditation.
Xie Lingya stood by the window, looked out, and saw a figure hovering over the woods floating down, it was the Eastern Ghost King. He glanced at the situation in the room and said, "Just now, this king can't get into that room."
"I just said I didn't see you." Xie Lingya said, "Can you help me to search around? Look for anyone."
He was still holding out hope that perhaps Daoist Hongyang did not flee far.
"What kind of person?" the ghost king asked.
This is a difficult problem, they have never seen the face of Daoist Hongyang. Xie Lingya thought for a while, and brought the book left in the house, "There may be scriptures like this on me, and it is more like a practitioner, not a monk or a Taoist."
"Try it." The ghost king nodded, jumped up, and then fell down again, "That..."
Xie Lingya lifted Liu Lingtong up, "Come on, call the king."
Liu Lingtong: "..."
Liu Lingtong: "Come on, come on..."
The ghost king let out a gloomy laugh, rolled up a few fallen leaves, and flew away.
As soon as he left, Liu Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the coercion of the ghost king, it produced a tense feeling similar to that of a human being holding his breath.
On the other side, Fang Xushan looked at the soul of the room, and after searching for a while, he saw the soul of Jiang Yuqi who was cowering in the corner.
"Jiang Yuqi?" Fang Xushan shouted.
"..." Jiang Yuqi's soul had only fear and confusion on his face, but he didn't agree, but it was much better than the soul that looked like wood around him. He was only taken into the body by the evil Buddha for a few hours, and he did not completely lose his mind like other souls.
Fang Xushan breathed a sigh of relief and could save him, and put him away with a willow tablet.
At this time, Lian Tan slowly woke up. He glanced at the soul in the house, as well as the broken Buddha statue on the ground with hair and nails, "This is..."
It's not that Lian Tan doesn't recognize him, but he hates it very much.
Before Liu Lingtong mentioned "human soul pretending to be dirty", pretending to be dirty actually refers to a ritual. After the new statue of God and Buddha is finished, before the consecration, a symbolic internal organ is installed in the hollow interior, so that it can obtain the divine power. knowledge.
Buddhists usually put Buddha relics or guru clothes, antique Buddha statues and other items, and different factions have different things.
This evil object, which is not a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, is filled with human hair and fingernails. Everyone immediately knows how the Red Yang Dao steals the soul and why it harms people. Naturally, it is to increase the cultivation of evil objects.
I don't know how such an evil Buddha gave birth to spirituality in the first place, but after that, in order to continue to make offerings and expand its abilities, they put human souls in them to increase "spiritual consciousness".
The human souls used are also people with beliefs. Because the Hongyang Taoist teachings are mixed with several religions, the people selected also have various religions and factions.
Previously, it was shown to everyone in the fantasy world, all of which were Buddhist methods. After listening to Lian Tan, he said, seeing the bones of the old body, it is the magical power that Mu Qianlian, one of the legendary ten disciples of the Buddha, showed.
It can be seen that the evil Buddha is indeed proficient in knowledge. Is this knowledge instilled by Daoist Hongyang, or is it given by the souls of those Buddhists in his body? unknown.
What is even more terrifying is that this is a vicious circle. When the evil Buddha has the ability, it can harm more people and deceive more believers, and its power will be stronger.
Xie Lingya couldn't help but think of a question: "...How many such evil creatures do they have?"
Daoist Hongyang kept the evil Buddha, it is hard to say whether they are confident that they will be defeated by the evil Buddha, or there are other evil things, and they are not attached to this one.
Everyone was speechless for a while.
This Buddha statue is hard enough to deal with. If it wasn't for Lian Tan in the corpse forest outside, it would take a while for them to break free. After encountering the deity of the evil Buddha, either their willpower is as firm as Shi Changxuan and Lian Tan, or they are like Xie Lingya. Can break the law with violence.
At this time, the ghost king had returned, squatted outside the window and said, "There is no such person in a radius of dozens of miles."
"Run." Xie Lingya sighed.
"... Anyway, this matter is too complicated, I want to report it." Fang Xushan said solemnly. I thought it was just a few victims before, but when I see it here, it's more than that!
And speaking of the corpse...
Everyone walked out of the small building, looked at the forest, and saw a pile of bones.
"The corpses turned out to be vidra ghosts. These vidra ghosts have no souls and have been surrendered by me, so they have returned to their previous appearances." Lian Tan said, he was very anxious before, and he did not explain completely, "If you practice evil methods The more profound it is, the more vicious the ghost of Vidra will be cursed."
These bones made Xie Lingya think of the scene in the fantasy, and he turned his eyes away and said, "It's time to call the police, collect fingerprints in the house, maybe you can find someone. However, how to explain to the police?"
"I'll call the Provincial Religious Affairs Bureau first." Fang Xushan muttered. Of course, this kind of thing is for the good of the government, and it was supposed to be reported to the higher-level Taoist Association. After seeing the evil Buddha, everyone understands that this matter has not become a big problem yet, but if the signs are not stopped in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Call more people, there is still a room of ghosts to be saved." Xie Lingya said coldly, "Monks and Taoists must have them."
- The beliefs of ghosts here are different. Of course, you can't use Taoist methods to transcend them. You have to respect the beliefs of the ghosts before they were alive. Otherwise, you say that people believe in Buddhism and send them to the East, which is not good.
The monks and Taoists were busy and made phone calls.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were sitting on the steps outside the building to rest. Xie Lingya asked him, "Are you okay?"
Shi Changxuan shook his head, "Nothing."
The ghost king floated in the air, and said with a shy face: "I searched for a long time, and even invited the wandering ghosts and wild ghosts to look for it together. It's very tired."
Xie Lingya: "...I didn't ask you."
The ghost king smiled, as if to signal, so he had to say it too.
Xie Lingya: "Of course, thank you. I'll burn some offerings for you later and you can leave."
"It's nothing, I'm familiar with Teacher Xie once and for all." The ghost king looked like he wanted to come over to chat.
Xie Lingya stood up with his sword and propped himself beside him, "Alas... I'm so tired."
"..." The ghost king's body rose straight up and floated to the roof at a constant speed.
…
The city police department was shocked.
They have never done such a strange case, the content is unknown, they only know that it seems to be a murder case.
When I got to the place after the order, a suburban forest was full of bones, and it seemed that there were old and new. It makes people wonder if the ground was originally an ancient cemetery, how could so many bones be dug up, anyway, all of them had to be picked up and sent to the crematorium.
Then, I have to check the information of the house next to me, from the owner of the house to who is coming in and out, extract the fingerprints, hair and other objects inside, and find out the identity of the relevant person...
The strangest thing is that when they arrived, they found that there were several Taoist priests and a monk at the scene, and then two groups of people came one after another, also Taoist priests and monks.
A group of Taoist priests and monks, occupying one side of the small building, began to perform rituals.
Everyone thinks that this is superseding those bones, right
It was scary to clean up so many bones at night, and it was even more strange that there were people chanting sutras nearby.
Everyone guessed that there was something strange about the case, and it was understandable to find some religious people to save it, but why did they find two groups of people? The two are also peaceful enough. There is negotiation and negotiation, and they are done separately.
In the middle, there are old monks and young Taoists sitting together drinking hot water and chatting a few words from time to time.
This is Lian Tan, Xie Lingya, and Shi Changxuan. Xie Lingya is persuading Lian Tan to go to the hospital, "They all vomited blood, and they fell so hard that their ribs didn't break, right?"
"At that time, I was holding a sword to show the immortal image, and I couldn't hurt the root." Lian Tan said.
This is in line with what Shi Changxuan said at the time, it really is Mingxian with a sword.
Xie Lingya asked, "Master Lian Tan, do you automatically become a swordsman master once you hold a sword to show your immortal appearance?"
Xie Lingya was a little envious. He had learned Tai Chi Sword, and he usually used the Three Treasure Swords, which were also very common and ordinary tricks.
"How is that possible!" Lian Tan said, "I taught myself, I participated in martial arts competitions in my early years, don't talk about ghosts when I was young, seven or eight strong men can't get close! Like you, I can play fourteen or five. indivual!"
Xie Lingya: "…"
Xie Lingya was depressed and refused to admit defeat, "I am also a strong man!"
Lian laughed without saying a word, and added, "Now that I am old, I can only find a little bit of the feeling of the past when I practice."
Xie Lingya looked to the left, his spiritual officer's eyes were still there, and the Taoist priests in the Jade Palace were sprinkling water with willow branches.
Looking to the right, the monks clasped their palms together to recite the mantra, the sandalwood incense curled up, and the ghost in front of them also folded their hands and closed their eyes to listen to the scriptures.
The two sides murmured incantations at this moment, but they did not intend to collide.
The moon has not yet come out, Xie Lingya looked at the sky, and finally felt a little gratification in his heart, hoping that these innocent deceased can get rid of their suffering. There is evil and there is good. There is always evil in this world, but fortunately there are so many people who are willing to protect it.
Xie Lingya tilted his head and rested on Shi Changxuan's shoulder.
Shi Changxuan turned his face and put his hand on Xie Lingya's face.
This feeling made Xie Lingya's memory of being suppressed that night surged up again. Xie Lingya's heart jumped, and he wanted to step back, but his body froze for some reason, maybe it was because his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
This time Xie Lingya opened his eyes, he saw Shi Changxuan's eyes, although he didn't look at each other last time, but this time he saw it, but he felt it was as strange as he imagined.
What's in here? With a strange feeling, Xie Lingya saw his finger move up and put it on his forehead, rubbing the red cinnabar away.
Shi Changxuan's eyes were serious, and he wiped most of the cinnabar.
Xie Lingya could only move at this time, and sat up blankly, "...Thank you?"
Shi Changxuan smiled at him.
Wiping cinnabar, this seems to be just an ordinary action, but it is as disturbing as the last time. Xie Lingya suddenly felt that the strangeness might not be his illusion, but what was it
It was time for the group to leave the Jade Palace.
Jiang Yuqi had woken up, but his memory was a little damaged. He was taking medicine to recover. He also told about his encounter with the preacher in the urban area.
There are quite a few strange folk sects of this kind. Jiang Yuqi heard a bit of truth at the time, but after a closer look, he realized that it was nonsense. However, he didn't notice at the time that the other party quietly collected his hair and then ingested his soul.
The case was also under investigation, and there was still no result in a day or two. Xie Lingya told Fang Xushan that the matter had been reported to the higher-level Taoist Association anyway, and he and Shi Changxuan were bound by the need when needed. As for now, they left with the group first.
When I left the Jade Palace, I was not as relaxed as I came here, and still carried a trace of anxiety about Hong Yangdao.
In the car, the members of the questioning group also asked about what happened last night. They vaguely heard the narration, but it was better for Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan to be at the scene.
Xie Lingya explained it in detail, and also reminded everyone to pay attention in the future. When encountering people who are suspected of Hongyang Dao, be careful to protect yourself.
"It's still convenient for monks in this regard, just get a manicure." Zhang Daoting touched his hair, "Although the weather is hot, I'd better put on my hat."
Xie Lingya: "...It makes sense."
…
This road goes to the next station, and there is another day or two to go, and I get off for dinner halfway.
Xie Lingya stretched and received a call from Fang Zhe, "Hello?"
Fang Zhe said, "I sent you the sword."
"Okay, thank you." Xie Lingya said, "I found it inconvenient to go out without a magic weapon."
Xie Lingya not only feared that there would be a place to use the magic weapon in the remaining days, but also talked about the Hongyang Dao on the phone. Although there is no sign of Hongyang Dao's activities in Jiyang, who knows.
FangZhe said shyly: "...Actually, I've been researching Taomu people recently. Combining the mechanism and the technique of substituting, making the Taomu people automatically drive magic tools, I have already achieved some results."
Xie Lingya was shocked. It was said that Lu Ban could build a wooden man and drive a car automatically. There was also the successor of the "Book of Lu Ban" that Shi Changxuan's parents met, and he also threatened to study the automation of exorcising ghosts.
It seems that this is the unavoidable dream of the descendants of "Luban Book", and Fang Zhe has also embarked on this path. If successful, wouldn't it be a big help, especially in a situation like the corpse.
Xie Lingya praised: "It's amazing, modern people think it's the lust of the ancients, how can the wooden man move on his own. Fang Zhe, what magic did you use?"
Fang Zhe: "… rechargeable battery?"
Xie Lingya: "..."
Fang Zhe said innocently: "I taught myself the principle of making robots, and put the device on the peach wood man. The core is actually the replica technique. You should know about the replica technique, right? The magic weapon, the magic weapon will recognize it as the body."
Fortunately, no one heard it just now. Xie Lingya looked around and said solemnly: "Of course I know, what kind of phantom technique I'm asking about! I'll study with you when I go back!"
FangZhe: "Oh..."
Xie Lingya still had lingering fears after hanging up the phone.
There are two or three small restaurants in the parking area. This place is very remote. The restaurants are run by villagers, so they only receive passing vehicles.
The Taoists scattered into the restaurant, Xie Lingya and several others also walked into one of them, and the proprietress brought the menu enthusiastically. While ordering food, a male voice in the back kitchen said in a rough voice: "What are you doing, come wash the dishes quickly! You know you're lazy!"
"Orders!" The proprietress responded quickly, and added, "You write it down on paper, I'll come and get it later."
She said and hurried to the backyard.
It seems that the relationship between the store owners is not very harmonious, everyone just had a flash of thought, ordered the dishes themselves, and the lady boss came to pick up the order.
"I'd better go for a walk, I've been sitting for too long just now." Xie Lingya sat at the dining table for only two minutes, then she couldn't help standing up, walking around the front and back of the house, covering her lower back with her hands.
The proprietress was washing vegetables in the backyard, and when she saw Xie Lingya, she gave him a simple smile.
Xie Lingya also laughed, "I've been walking for a long time, and my back hurts after sitting for a long time."
"Back pain?" The lady boss's smile became more enthusiastic, "Have a cup of tea."
Xie Lingya didn't think about it, "No need, I'm not thirsty."
"No, my tea is medicinal tea," the proprietress wiped her hands, stood up and said, "It can cure many diseases."
The faint smile on Xie Lingya's face froze, and then he said, "What kind of tea can still cure diseases?"
"It was given to me by an eminent monk." The proprietress took out some tea leaves. Xie Lingya didn't understand tea, so she couldn't tell what kind of tea it was. She held it and said, "My husband has rheumatism. Man, I feel better after drinking it."
Xie Lingya thought that the person who yelled at her before was her husband, and she was speechless for a while, and said, "What eminent monk gave it? Which one taught?"
"It seems to be from the Hunyuan School, not all Buddhists." The proprietress didn't care much, "This tea is really good, and the first pack is free and not expensive."
The Hunyuan faction is not another name for Hongyang Dao. It seems that people from Hongyang Dao once came to preach here, and some people really have a good impression. Moreover, they are confusing, and most people think they are authentic Taoist priests and monks.
This is what they are most worried about. Hongyang Dao pretends to be upright and tempts believers with medical treatment and small profits to gain trust, but over time, it is time for them to collect money and practice evil methods.
The tricks of liars have changed from ancient times to the present, just like those who deceive the elderly to buy health care products and give free gifts first.
Xie Lingya wanted to persuade her, but he was afraid that he would be shocked, so he first asked, "Do you have the contact information for that Hunyuan monk? I want to buy tea."
"Aren't you with those Taoists? You also buy tea from monks." The proprietress was surprised and happy, "I don't have his contact information, and I heard that he is going out of town. I don't know when he will come back. I'll let you know. However, is there any use in trying to buy tea first? Just listen to me, aren't you afraid that I'm lying! I'll make you a cup."
"No, no, I can't drink it now." Xie Lingya didn't want to drink it, who knew how the tea was made. The monk went out of town, afraid that he would go to the place where the Jade Palace is located? It's a pity, I thought I could find someone here.
The proprietress thought for a while and then said, "The eminent monk also taught me a way to cure diseases, or I will give you a try. You don't need to drink tea, just eat jujube."
Xie Lingya: "..."
Xie Lingya: "...what do you eat dates?"
"I've learned it a few times. I don't know if it's good or not, just use the jujube to recite a spell, blow air, and then you eat the jujube." The lady boss said, seeing that Xie Lingya's face was not very good-looking, and said, "Hey, you are young. Do people think this is a feudal superstition? In fact, some old recipes are really useful. My mother-in-law used to treat people with reeds..."
Xie Lingya said slowly: "I don't think this is a feudal superstition, because this is the unique skill of our ancestors."
Boss lady: "???"
He also gave Xie Lingya some jujube, and he could curse out a basket in ten minutes.
Sazu walks the world, relying on the thunder technique and jujube spell he received. Among them, the jujube spell was passed down to his old man by the thirtieth generation Longhushan Tianshi. I don’t know how many people he saved and completed Sazu’s study of medicine. things that could not be done. After it was developed by him, many Taoists also learned this method.
With this curse method, Hongyang Dao dares to take it as their thing and use it to buy people's hearts.
"Madam Boss, if there is any problem, you still have to go to the hospital. Also, the main reason for the conflict between husband and wife must be found." Xie Lingya said a few words to the Boss lady, then turned around and went to find someone else. It is best to inform the local government and give the villagers a little bit of popular science. .
Xie Lingya thought that the people of Hongyang Dao were really going further and further on the road to death. His ancestors and masters were really violent. If you don't believe me, ask the ghost kings from all over the world...
