Chapter 97: face man

Views:

The little fox has grown into a big fox. Xie Lingya touched the back of its neck a few times while he was talking, and it looked like it was smiling as it narrowed its eyes.

The fox jumped back to the windowsill from Xie Lingya's arms, went out to play with it, turned around and held some things in front of Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya saw a few dead earthworms and a few pine nuts, "...Huh?"

The fox touched the earthworm with its paw and barked a few times.

Xie Lingya looked at it for a long time, "Wouldn't you be asking me to eat?"

Fox nodded.

It is winter now, and it is more difficult to find food in the wild. Unlike other seasons, you can find big and fat prey. A few earthworms and pine nuts are already the best things a little fox can find in a hurry.

Xie Lingya: "…"

Gratitude is gratitude, I'm a little speechless...

Xie Lingya was embarrassed and said: "Thank you for entertaining me like this, but I'm full, I'll keep the pine nuts, eat the earthworms yourself."

Fox hesitated. Wouldn't that be impolite.

Xie Lingya: "It's okay, really, you can eat."

He was young and couldn't help the temptation. The fox grabbed the earthworm, ate it in a few bites, and continued to stare at Xie Lingya with his head up.

Xie Lingya was a little hesitant with a few pine nuts in his hand. He didn't know when the fox picked them up. When he turned around and saw Shi Changxuan staring at him, he stretched out his hand and asked, "…Do you want to eat it?"

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Shi Changxuan's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his cold eyes, and he took the pine nuts slowly after a long while.

He punched the pine nut a little, but the pine nut was pointy without opening. He peeled it off and ate one, frowning.

Xie Lingya took a look, wow, the pine nuts have not gone bad, right

Just as he was thinking, Shi Changxuan pushed another one into his mouth.

This action was so fast that Xie Lingya didn't even react. Just as he was about to vomit, he felt that the taste was not right.

The pine nuts are rich in rosin, thin and oily, and a little salty. Most importantly, they are cooked…

Xie Lingya Khan said, "I'm afraid it was 'picked up' by the Master?"

He thought it was hiding in the fox cave. He should have thought that the fox had nothing to do with the pine nuts, but the hot spring villa had a lot of fruit bowls.

After the little fox family was seen stealing skulls by Tang Qi, they experienced several things later, and Tang Qi had a very different attitude towards them. Usually they are not called to approach, but now in winter, if foxes can't find food, they will approach here. The workers during the construction and the staff of the scenic spot who were preparing before the opening were all instructed not to be frightened. , hurt the fox.

Xie Lingya ate all the pine nuts, poured water for the fox to drink, scooped water for a bath, and asked, "Where are your parents?"

The fox's ears moved, and the two hind feet tried to bend inward, folded together, and sat with their tails padded behind them, posing in a nondescript posture like sitting.

Xie Lingya differentiated it, and said hesitantly, "...It's not cultivating, right?"

No amount of little foxes can express it, Xie Lingya thinks most of it is like this. And the real fox became enlightened after listening to the scriptures, and it is a good thing to know that he has cultivated the Tao, but...

Xie Lingya Khan said: "You let them learn to do what you can. If your legs are short and it's difficult to meditate, don't cross your legs."

If someone saw a fox meditating with its hind legs upright in the mountains, it would probably be frightened to death.

Xie Lingya was sitting on the class beside the hot spring pool, bending over to bathe the little fox, while Shi Changxuan sat on the wooden bench beside him in a daze, probably still didn't understand why the world had changed because he was only half a minute late.

After bathing and drying the fox, its hair was fluffy and was rubbed back and forth by Xie Lingya. At this time, he heard the doorbell rang, and he stood up and opened the door.

After bending over for a long time, my waist really hurts. Xie Lingya held the lower back to open the door. Hai Guanchao was standing at the door, "...Well, Ning Wanlai and Cheng Xin said that they won't be able to come tonight. If something happens, they will come back tomorrow."

Xie Lingya: "Okay."

Tang Qi sent a lot of coupons, and they couldn't use them up, so he also sent others.

Hai Guanchao didn't leave after speaking, but glanced at Xie Lingya's waist a few times, and said with some regret: "You don't know how to take care of yourself when you are young, and when you are old, ask me to prescribe medicine."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "Nonsense, I just got tired of bathing the fox inside."

Hai Guanchao glanced behind him, but saw Shi Changxuan's figure, and said, "Shi Daochang bathes the fox with you?"

Xie Lingya: "No, he sat next to him and watched."

Hai Guanchao thought for a while and said, "You mean, Mr. Tang opened a hot spring suite for you, and brought a private hot spring pool, and you two left the water, and then one bathed the fox and the other watched? Is this a fox? Or a vixen, so charming?"

Xie Lingya: "…"

Hai Guanchao showed a helpless smile and consciously saw through the truth.

Xie Lingya also sighed, closed the door directly, and said, "If you don't go back and spend a lot of time, I will fail you."

"Clap" the door was locked in front of Hai Guanchao, "..."

The next day, Ning Wanlai and Cheng Xin also joined the team to soak in the hot spring. Xie Lingya introduced Ning Wanlai to Lian Tan, and said that if there was any ritual in the temple, he would take him with him.

It took Ning Wanlai a while to realize that Xie Lingya was introducing business to Lian.

Seeing Ning Wanlai's expression, Xie Lingya laughed, "Look at what I am doing, Master Lian Tan has a high level of cultivation, and it is more efficient for you to do more rituals."

If it is to do meritorious deeds, and it doesn't matter which Buddhist or Taoist school, the Dharma deeds that Baoyang Guan can do for him are limited.

Ning Wanlai had no faith, of course he wouldn't care, he was just surprised, but Xie Lingya wouldn't mind if he didn't mind him.

Seeing the little monk Tanqing again today, Xie Lingya chatted with him a few more times and asked him how he was watching the drama. The little monk showed a little bit of joy and said that the drama is really interesting, and he also saw other things in the related list. The video of the sect of Buddhism, the great insight, the network is really amazing.

"Although the TV series is good, don't be addicted." Lian Tan was present, and Xie Lingya ended with education, admonishing the little monk to relax moderately, and not to damage his eyes, and he had to wear glasses when he turned back.

Ning Wanlai also invited Xie Lingya to do something for a victim, those who were killed by Bao Yuesheng and Ma Xiaochuan before.

After so long, the case was finally closed.

Bao Yuesheng committed suicide in fear of the crime, and other people also confessed after being arrested. Except for the skull, where are the bones of the other parts of the victim. Because so much time has passed, it took a long time for the remains to be collected and examined to be the victim's.

Due to the peculiarity of this matter, Cheng Xin also reported to his superiors and asked someone to do a ritual.

Xie Lingya naturally nodded in agreement.

Two days later, Xie Lingya was invited to do something for the victims of the skull surgery. Otherwise, even if these tragically dead souls avenge their revenge, they will not be able to reincarnate in the future. Xie Lingya specially brought Xiaoliang and Guo Xing, who brought Xiaoliang to train successors, and Guo Xing to observe.

Cheng Xin took out the bags containing the bones, "They were all found in the barren mountains, and they searched for a long time along the way."

This is also because of Cheng Xin's insistence. Because of Ning Wanlai, he knows how miserable those grievances are, so he must take back all their remains.

In addition to these, there are also skulls from the original garden, put together in one place.

Guo Xing was the one who didn't understand the most. He only felt that these corpses looked gloomy. It was the first time he saw real human bones. He asked with some hair: "Brother Xie, how did they die?"

Cheng Xin knew this better. He and Ning Wanlai faced the owner of the corpse directly and read the autopsy report. He said, "When they were alive, they were kidnapped by various methods because of their birthdays. He was imprisoned, fed only sesame oil, and finally fasted. At this time, he used such a big nail to nail all the joints, and poured vinegar into his head and limbs. After he died, it turned into dry bones, and then he put the skull away, To imprison the soul. At this time, plant flowers on it, and use the pain of the roots sprouting in the brain to make the deceased for their own use.”

What he knew before was that these unjust souls continued to suffer because of plant roots growing in their brains after they died. Although Xie Lingya mentioned that they were tortured to death, he did not expect such a cruel method.

Xiaoliang and Guo Xing also turned pale when they heard it, they didn't know there was such a vicious spell.

"So these perpetrators are also very miserable now. The wronged souls are ordered to take revenge, and they must be entangled." Xie Lingya deliberately alerted them, "Some evil mages use their abilities to do evil, but the gods observe the human world, and the gods take revenge, and the ghosts take revenge. , can't escape."

Xie Lingya set up an altar, inserted a soul-calling banner, placed three meat and four elements, and recited "The Great Sutra of Taishangdong Xuanlingbao Rescue Suffering and Eradicating Sins", because there were female victims, according to custom, add "Taiyi Rescue Tianzun Said" The Mysterious Sutra of the Blood Lake in Fengdu.

Xie Lingya drew the spirit officer's eyes on the center of his eyebrows, closed his eyes, but seemed to be able to see the grievances in front of him. Their clothes were ragged, their joints were oozing pus, their bodies were stained with blood, and they were chained, because they were escorted by eunuchs to take revenge.

The hardships they suffered during their lifetimes are still making them miserable, so they are even more resentful when they take revenge. Even if the remaining enemies are in prison, they cannot let them go every night.

They couldn't help themselves, with a sinister look on their faces.

Xiaoliang and Guo Xing gasped low beside them. Since they were watching, Xie Lingya certainly opened their eyes to them. This kind of situation made them a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Xie Lingya recited the scriptures, so that the pain of the wronged soul disappeared, and his expression gradually calmed down.

"Transcend the soul of the long night and be reborn in the Land of Elysium."

After Xie Lingya finished reading the last sentence, he turned the food into them, folded some new clothes and burned paper money.

The dead souls have washed away the blood on their bodies, the wounds are no longer pus, the damaged skin has healed, and there is much less hostility in their expressions. When the injustice of this life is over, they can be reincarnated and live a new life. .

The ghosts were originally a little chaotic, and they wanted to take revenge. At this time, one of the female ghosts woke up and asked, "Master, how are my parents?"

Cheng Xin dug out the information, Xie Lingya knew that this female ghost was only nineteen years old when she died, and she was the only daughter in the family when she was in college. He replied, "After you disappeared, your parents searched for you for a long time, and they adopted them a few years ago. An orphan, now five years old, and after finding your bones, they built a tomb for you - although the bones can't be returned to them yet - and brought your sister to worship you."

Tears poured out of the female ghost, and she was much relieved to know that her parents had not forgotten her, nor ruined her life because of grief. During the time they were trapped, they didn't know the year, and they couldn't think. After escaping, they were dazed, and they didn't wake up until now.

Xie Lingya spoke to the grievances one by one, which made them release their last concerns. Most of the grievances had not seen their families for the last time or had regrets before they were kidnapped many years ago.

Guo Xing saw this situation next to him, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a hand, he was uncomfortable, moved, and had an indescribable urge.

Xie Lingya burned the paper money, pointed at the token, and the emissary escaped with the wronged soul and rolled up the paper ashes.

The ashes fell one after another, and Xie Lingya breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no tiredness between his brows.

Of course, this can't stop Guo Xing from making up his mind, he said a little excitedly: "No wonder it is said that saving the dead is a matter of infinite merit, Teacher Xie, you..."

Not only to escape, but also to rescue them!

Although Guo Xing heard Xie Lingya mention it, he was even more shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. Although doing these things, nowadays, maybe not many people will know about it, and they will not see the real liberation of the grievances, but there must be someone to do it.

Guo Xing felt an impulse, "Teacher Xie, I am willing to inherit the Lushan method and maintain the peace between Yin and Yang!"

Xie Lingya: "…"

Xie Lingya said, "Why is your sense of mission so heavy? Wouldn't it be better to watch it a few more times?"

It's not that Guo Xing is too easily moved. Xie Lingya was also very moved when he first participated in the death ceremony. Of course, he had a lot of scenes at that time.

Guo Xing immediately said: "I don't think it is necessary, I want to quickly take responsibility!"

Everyone was a little embarrassed, especially Xiao Qian, who was deeply touched. Although everyone's starting point was different, he also wanted to learn Dao Fa right away.

Xiaoli said to Guo Xing, "You better take a look."

You must read more to think clearly, this is just a ritual.

It was not too early after the end of the puja, and Guo Xing kept asking him where those grievances might have gone now. Xie Lingya simply said: "You should go back to Baoyang Temple tonight to rest. Those grievances should either go to enjoy the food first, or go directly. Today's revenge is in prison."

"Oh." Guo Xing couldn't restrain his excitement, "What about the ghost we met in the elevator last time, did you save him?"

"He doesn't need to be rescued, he died normally, he just went the wrong way, I sent him to the underworld." Xie Lingya explained.

They told Cheng Xin not to send it, and walked slowly, seeing if they could get a taxi.

There are no pedestrians on the road at this point. The vehicles coming and going are either private cars or trucks. For some reason, there is no taxi, and there is no car nearby.

Gradually, there were fewer private cars, and the street lights on both sides of the road dimmed.

Xie Lingya touched Liu Lingtong on his shoulder and stopped.

Xiaoliang and Guo Xing were puzzled and looked back at Xie Lingya.

At this time, clap, clap, the sound of metal dragging and colliding sounded.

The expressions of the two young people changed, especially Guo Xing, who looked around nervously. His physique made him feel that something was wrong, but he could not see the problem, and he had no certainty to solve it. The unknown was even more frightening.

Fortunately, today was going out to do something, Xie Lingya backhandedly pulled out the Three Treasures Sword on his back, and protected Xiaoliang and Guo Xing behind him.

Whoa - whoa -

The voice was closer.

A rickety shadow appeared, and a strong bloody smell came over.

When the shadow gradually became clear, everyone could see its appearance - this thing really can't be called him or her, its head is much smaller than its body, its pointed mouth and cheeks, like a mouse, its belly is bulging , with a chain on his body, and a skull on top of that small head, which looks like a bigger hat to it.

The strong bloody smell made Guo Xing almost vomit, and the terrifying and strange appearance also made him unacceptable. This thing looks even more terrifying than the ghost just now!

Guo Xing asked with a white face: "This, what is this?"

Xie Lingya didn't speak, and Xiaoliang frowned and said, "I don't know either."

He was a little ashamed that he didn't recognize this thing.

But the next moment, Xie Lingya also said: "Damn it, I don't know it either, what's the thing, the rat spirit who had a car accident?"

What made him even more uncomfortable was that as soon as the good dragon saw this thing, he jumped from his wrist to his arm and hid. He was worried that this guy was very powerful

The strange creature in the shape of a mouse made a "squeak" sound, and it looked like a mouse and leaked air, and its two eyes slid around Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya was trying hard to recall whether he had seen any information about similar creatures, and it rushed up with the chains. Despite the chains on his body, he moved quite fast. He stretched out his hands and jumped up, trying to trap Xie Lingya.

"Ouch." Xie Lingya moved quickly, and as soon as he dodged, the mouse spirit landed on Guo Xing, hugging him with all four limbs, and the chain was hanging on him.

The small amount also grew, and he hid to the side and was not held. Only Guo Xing, with a confused face, leaned in front of him with a sharp mouth, and the strong fishy smell sprayed on his face, making him almost a somersault. The sticky feeling on his body also made him want to die on the spot.

Guo Xing struggled desperately, but the rat spirit was tightly wrapped around him, and his stomach was still against him, he felt that the rat spirit's belly was like a balloon filled with water, dangling next to his body, and he didn't know what was inside. what.

"Damn it! Let me go!" Guo Xing's face and it were about to come together, and he shouted hoarsely.

At this time, Xie Lingya took the opportunity to grab the chain of the rat spirit, wrapped it back, restrained its neck, and pulled it from behind. Shaking left and right.

Seeing this, Xie Lingya stabbed a sword into its stomach and opened a hole.

In an instant, a gushing spring of blood spurted out!

Chi—

Guo Xing was drenched with sticky blood. He wiped his eyes a few times, but he felt something was hanging on his hand. He barely opened his eyes and saw that it was actually an intestine!

Guo Xing fell to the ground: "I vomit!!!"

Xie Lingya didn't care about him, and tore the rat spirit with its dismembered belly from him, holding his head and drawing a talisman on the skull above its head, "The devil returns to justice!"

The skull fell to the ground with a snap, and the mouse essence softened, and the heart, lungs and other internal organs were still flowing out of the stomach. This rat spirit doesn't seem to be as powerful as Xie Lingya was worried about.

Xie Lingya let go of his hand and looked carefully again. At this moment, where does the mouse spirit still look like just now

Xie Lingya stretched out his hand and squeezed, "Face?"

That's right, it should be dough. It's a dough man. The body is shaped like a human, the head is shaped like a mouse, and the facial features and clothes are painted with paint.

As for those guts...

Xie Lingya took a closer look, "It doesn't seem to be human internal organs—"

Guo Xing also had a string of intestines hanging on his hand. He was sitting on the spot with blood on his face.

A small amount of sympathy came over and squatted down, wiped him with a tissue, and wiped the eye area, "If you look at me, I will tell you to take a look..."

Doing this line of business is more than just overreaching on the altar.

Guo Xing felt very uncomfortable: "..."

Xie Lingya had already started to make Shi Changxuan's video call. After connecting, he told him what happened just now in a few words, and then turned the camera to something on the ground, "Senior brother, do you know what this is?"

Shi Changxuan recognized it, but he had some doubts, "... From the appearance and production, this is Lingga. That is, a ghost figurine in human form, with many ghosts. But it is usually used as a carrier to make Tantric monks Beheaded in a ritual. Its body is filled with cow blood and other animal internal organs. The chains on its body are also designed to lock ghosts, and they should be suppressed by special containers, so it is difficult to escape."

To put it simply, this is a bit like the "little man" in the activity of pumping the villain with the sole of the shoe. It is a representative of evil. When the ceremony is going to be performed, make one, and have the gods bring the ghosts on it, and then kill them. .

There is no doubt that this is man-made, but the use is not harmful, so how did this thing escape from the ceremony

More importantly, this is Jiyang, which is 108,000 miles away from the realm of Tantric Buddhism. How can anyone perform the rituals of Tantric Buddhism here. Xie Lingya also felt that he had never sinned against Tantric people. The only person he had friendship with in Buddhism was Lotus Tan of Pure Land.

Xie Lingya thought about it, and thought of another question. He pulled the snake off his arm, and lifted it upside down and asked, "This mouse isn't that powerful, so what did you hide just now? You can only spit out water. timid??"
