"Why haven't you walked for so long and haven't arrived, it seems to be similar to a trapped soul array that I accidentally entered before, and the road has always been in front of me, but I can't finish it. ”

Yang Chengzi replied: "We shouldn't be in the formation, there is not even a tree in this area, the formation cannot be completely hidden, and we have not seen any traces of the formation, nor have we felt the fluctuations of the aura of the formation." ”

Chen San was anxious, "It won't be a ghost hitting the wall, you are a Maoshan Taoist here, we can still encounter a ghost hitting the wall?"

Yang Chengzi shook his head, "Impossible, I didn't feel the soul near us, and the soul bell didn't ring, there is no such powerful demon that can make us hallucinate from miles away, and you have ghost eyes, and ghosts can't stop you when they hit the wall." ”

At this time, Sanyu was a little scared, and took a few steps forward to put Yang Chengzi's hand on his chest and looked left and right, Yang Chengzi was a little unaccustomed, but seeing Sanyu's scared look, he didn't refuse her, Chen San saw that Sanyu was scared and lit a few big torches, and several people sat down in place.

The master looked at the town in front of him, frowned, and said, "It seems that we didn't go the wrong way just now. ”

Yang Chengzi looked back at the master and asked, "Has the master seen any clues?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have personal experience, so I didn't expect us to run into this. ”

"Oh, I wonder what the master is talking about?"

The monk nodded and spoke.

It has been recorded in the Qur'an, hundreds of years ago, several monks violated the eight precepts of Buddhism and were punished by the abbot, punished them for cultivating their minds and doing asceticism, went to the ancient temple of Loulan more than 3,000 miles away from the temple, borrowed the Tibetan Heart Sutra in the ancient temple until they could memorize the entire scripture before returning to the temple, several monks knew that they had violated the eight precepts, and the sins were heavy, and they had no complaints about the asceticism of going to the ancient temple of Loulan.

According to the abbot's guidance, several monks walked all the way east for nearly 2,000 miles, and arrived at a land of sand dunes, which was full of wind and sand, without a single tree, and as far as the eye could see.

Along the edge of the dune land, several monks walked all the way, and it was only a half-day walk to cross this barren place, but after walking for a short time, they saw a city in the middle of the dunes, and the monks all thought that they must have taken the wrong path, and only one of the young novices decided that the abbot pointed out the wrong path.

Later, only the little novice arrived at the ancient temple of Loulan and told the abbot there the reason, as well as the whereabouts of the other monks on the road, and the abbot of the ancient temple of Loulan told him that there was no city there at all, and the monks only saw an illusion, and there was no return.

Chen San became excited when he heard that there was no return, "Master, why is there no return, don't scare me." ”

The master explained, "The abbot of the ancient temple called that city the Boundless Hell, and that city came and went, but those who wanted to enter it never returned. ”

"Then let's go back, don't bother with that, there are still big demons in the town to seal. ”

Yang Chengzi calmly looked at the way they came and said, "I'm afraid I can't go back, no wonder it's called Boundless Hell." ”

They looked in the direction that Yang Chengzi looked, several people were shocked by the scene in front of them, after coming out of Wucheng, they have been walking along the road, although the road is not neatly paved with stone slabs, but the road is full of people, at a glance you can see that there is a big road under your feet, at this time, by the moonlight, you can't see any trace of the road.

As if trapped in a barren desert, with nothing but the endless, Sanyu hugged Yang Chengzi's hand tighter.

Chen San relieved himself and looked at the city on the other side, and said tremblingly: "Since we can't go back, let's go forward, maybe there is something we can do if we enter the city." ”

Yang Chengzi asked the monk with his requirement: "Master, do you think this will be a phantom demon for thousands of years, the story of the Quran is hundreds of years ago, if it is a phantom demon, it has been nearly a thousand years now, I have never encountered a phantom demon for hundreds of years, maybe it is really as Chen San said, which big demon may not be said." ”

The monk nodded, "There are too many things in the world that we haven't touched, and the city in front of us has always kept a distance from us, monk, I don't think it's a dead thing." ”

Chen San was also surprised, "Yes, that city has been so far away from us, we have been walking for almost an hour, such a distance, we should not have seen this city at that time, it has been keeping a distance from us." ”

Monk Sui Chang continued: "Since it is a living creature, whether it is a human or a ghost, there is always a way to deal with it. ”

"Then what are we going to do, it may not work to walk, we have been walking for so long and it is so far away from us, is there any way you can hurry up to the front of that city and see what it is. ”

Yang Chengzi took out a few pieces of yellow rune paper from his arms, "I'll let Huang Fu explore the way first to see if this city is only so far away from us." ”

Vertical finger chanting, three yellow talismans scattered into the air, the moment the yellow talisman was about to fall, it flew towards the city in front of him as if it was being pulled, as the yellow talisman quickly skimmed away, it disappeared all of a sudden, and the city in front of him did not move for a long time.

Yang Chengzi's eyes widened suddenly, and Chen San saw him in this kind of counter-emergency, "What's the matter, what did you find?"

Yang Chengzi frowned and turned his head and replied: "I can't let Huang Fu come back, and I can't perceive Huang Fu anymore, so I disappeared one mile in front, this thing has indeed been in front of us, and it can limit the distance I can cast, my pathfinder can probe dozens of miles at night, and the pathfinder has not detected any ghostly energy, which means that the cultivation of this thing in front of me is much higher than mine, and I am afraid that I am not an opponent at all by relying on my Dao technique alone." ”

When Chen San heard Yang Chengzi say that this monster was so powerful, his heart began to feel a little weak, and he swallowed his saliva.

"We haven't fought yet, don't destroy your morale, there are a lot of us, there will be no danger for the time being, let's think about how to fight it head-on, if it doesn't show up all the time, it can starve us to death." ”

Yang Chengzi nodded, "Maybe it just wants to starve us to death so that it can take our bodies." ”

Sanyu asked a little depressed, "If we all die, what does it want us to do?"

Chen San said with a smile: "If you want your body, you must be going to seduce men, so that it can take the bodies of many men." ”

Sanyu looked at Chen San's lewd smile, his face was disgusted, and he cried out with a sad face: "I don't want to die, I don't want to seduce men." ”

"Don't listen to Chen San's nonsense, he scares you, if this thing really just wants a body, then it must be me and the master's, even if our body is dead, as long as there is still a spirit, the Dharma and Taoism in the body will not dissipate, and the powerful monster can enter our body to perform the spells that we can perform in our lifetime, although it is against the way of heaven, but this can indeed allow it to come to this world in the flesh. ”

Chen San looked incredulous when he heard this, "When a person dies, his soul will never be dispersed, I heard that there is a ghost who hooks the soul." ”

"It will indeed hook the soul, the average person dies, the soul is directly hooked away, but there will be a soul left in the body, this spirit we call the evil spirit, it is the evil result of people in the world for decades, how long the evil spirit will disperse, depending on how big the evil result is, how deep the sin is, but at most seven hundred and forty-nine days the evil spirit will dissipate.

Once the evil spirit is gone, the corpse can no longer be used on the body, and it cannot use the spells left over from the body, so in order to live in the world as a human body, it is necessary to constantly search for a new body. Yang Chengzi explained.

"Then isn't it over killing people with the stolen body, there will be a new body to use, why bother to trap us here. ”

Yang Chengzi shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work, the person who dies is very resentful, and the evil spirit left in the body will leave the body in a few days and become resentful or resentful, and it can't go on without the evil spirit, so it can't be a person who dies horizontally." ”

Hearing this, Sanyu interjected and asked, "Isn't starvation death a horizontal death?"

"That is a desperate death and death of illness without resentment, it is not a horizontal death, only those who are murdered are considered to be a horizontal death, and they must be unwilling before they die, and some even die blindly. ”

"Then what does it want a human body to do, a good ghost doesn't do it, what kind of fun is it making. ”

"Then you have to ask it, there are many possible reasons, if it is really a big demon and has not yet responded to the catastrophe, the most likely is that it wants to borrow a human body to get rid of the six reincarnations and the heavenly tribulation.

Except for the great demon who survived the heavenly tribulation and the same life as the sky, any living creature has a lifespan, the length is just a short, as long as it finds a body that can be put on the body, then it can survive in the world through that body, before the evil spirit in the body dissipates, it does not need to pay the price of life, as long as there are enough people, then it can live forever, no longer have to suffer from the six reincarnations. ”

"And this kind of thing, it turns out that there are still benefits to being a ghost, and if you are not careful, you don't need to be reincarnated. ”

Yang Chengzi smiled: "It sounds simple, but these are my guesses, what is going on, we will not know until it comes." ”

"You've figured it out?"

"We can't go head-to-head with it right now, we can't do anything about it if it doesn't show up, since we can't find it, let it come to us. ”

Chen San was surprised when he heard this, "How could it come to us by itself?"

"If my guess is correct, then it wants the body of one of me and the master, and if we die, it will surely come and take possession of that body. ”

"Ouch, you're really good at eating meat, but if you die, who will kill this demon?"

"We're just faking our death, the purpose is to lure it over, and as long as it comes, we can trap it. ”

Yang Chengzi turned around and discussed with the monk as usual, "Master, I don't know if Buddhism has a simple formation that can trap it for a while, the formation arrangement of the Maoshan faction takes a lot of time, if the master has a suitable formation, he will bother the master to lay down the magic array, I will make other preparations." ”

The monk replied: "There is no need to fake death, Buddhism has a large array that can hide people's anger, and we only need to enter after I finish arranging the magic circle, and we can't perceive our anger outside the formation, as if we are dead." ”

"There is such a formation?"

The monk nodded, "As soon as you write the birth date on your clothes with finger blood and put them outside the formation, the monster will take the clothes for us, and the clothes will not be angry, and if you don't feel angry, it will come over."

Spread an eight-armed Arhat array under the clothes, as long as the monster gets close, the eight-armed Arhat will temporarily seal it, as long as it has no entity, it will not be able to break free from the seal for a while, then we have a chance to kill it. ”

"The master is really a Buddhist monk, the use of the Buddhist formation can be used to the point of doing whatever he wants, since we don't have to fake death, then I don't need to prepare, when the master finishes laying the magic circle, we will wait for it to appear on its own. ”

"These two formations are very simple, after the Great Phaseless Array is deployed, everyone just lies in the formation and pretends to be dead and waits. ”

With that, the monk got down from the recliner and limped in front of them.

The city in front of him looked particularly strange in the moonlight, he frowned, turned around and took a string of Buddhist beads from his hand, and untied the Buddha rope of the Buddha beads, and eighteen Buddha beads were scattered in his palm.

"Come, take a few each, take me as the center, put these eighteen Buddha beads into a circle, the interval should be about the same, these eighteen Buddha beads are made of Nanshan cedar wood with an unusual fortune of heaven and earth, as a magic weapon of the phaseless array, it can completely cover the anger of all of us with the formation. ”

Several people were curious to take the Buddha beads and look at them carefully, the beads were red under the firelight, and they couldn't see their original color, and ordinary beads were about the same, and they couldn't see why, so they began to find a place to put these beads.

After several adjustments, the large circle placed with Buddha beads was completed, and the monk wrote a few lines of scriptures with stones outside the circle, Chen San and they couldn't understand it, and they didn't dare to ask when the master was busy.

After writing the scriptures, the monk got up, folded his hands and began to recite them.

Just when Chen San felt that the master had been reciting for a long time, a huge golden illusion appeared behind Monk Suichang, and before he could see it clearly, the golden illusion rose into the air like a golden dragon, rushing straight down towards the scriptures on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the scriptures completely absorbed the golden illusion, leaving only residual golden ripples on the ground.

Chen San was dumbfounded for a long time, and he used a lot of magic techniques, but he didn't have a foundation in Taoism, and he didn't remember what happened when he used the magic techniques, this was the first time he had seen this kind of shocking technique, and he couldn't close it for a long time with his mouth open.

The others didn't open their eyes to see this illusion, and the monk turned around and saw Chen San with his mouth open, and said with a smile: "I like your appearance that I haven't seen the world, it's exactly the same as when I was breastfeeding, hahaha." ”

When Chen San heard the master's words, he realized that he was laughing at him, and swallowed his saliva.

"You have time to teach me, it seems to be very powerful. ”

The monk shook his head, "Young man, there is still a place for you to be nostalgic in the world of flowers, one day you will no longer be nostalgic, monk, I will teach you again." ”

Chen Sanyi rolled his eyes when he heard this, "You two are really brothers, one always wants me to be a Taoist priest, and the other wants me to become a monk, so I don't do it, I haven't even gone out to see this flower world." ”

"Then you get out of the way, don't get in the way of my formation. ”

Chen San moved the ground in embarrassment, and the monk returned to the circle and sat down.

After everyone entered the circle, he said to Yang Chengzi: "Write the eight characters of your birthday, after writing the eight characters, you will throw your clothes into the arhat array after you finish reciting the spell, and I will put the phaseless array here on the array, and everyone will lie down together and it will be done." ”

Yang Chengzi and the master untied their coats, and the two of them bit their fingers almost at the same time and wrote their birthdays on their clothes with finger blood, Yang Chengzi threw their clothes into the air at the same time, and recited the spell with his fingers, and the curse was stepped on with his right foot.

The two coats were like two people, and they fell into the arhat array arranged with a "bang".

Chen Sanna really looked at it, looked at the clothes, and looked at Yang Chengzi.

"No, no, no, how do I look at those two clothes as if they were two people wearing, like two people falling down. ”

Yang Chengzi looked at the city in front of him and said: "This is the magic of Maoshan, the turning technique, the escape technique, if you go up the mountain and enter the Tao, I can teach you." ”

Chen San rolled his eyes and sat down, lying straight next to the master and no longer spoke.

When the monk saw that the spell had been completed, he said: "Everyone is lying in the circle and don't go out, the circle is not too big, they are all crowded, make room for the female doll." ”

Sanyu sat down obediently and looked at the monk with a smile, "It's still the master who knows how to hurt people, unlike Chen San who knows how to be angry with me when he has the opportunity, hum!"

Chen Sanyi was a little tired when he lay down, and he wanted to sleep, so he ignored Sanyu.

The monk sat cross-legged in the middle, and when he saw that everyone was already lying in the circle, he folded his hands and closed his eyes, took off the beads around his neck and wrapped them around his thumbs, still reciting the scriptures he did not understand.

I don't know how long I thought about it, if it weren't for the fact that the master fell down and just pressed Chen San's legs, Chen San would have fallen asleep by the sound of this scripture.

The two formations have been laid out, the anger has completely disappeared, and the clothes that replace the master and Yang Chengzi are also in the arhat formation, and everything is ready to wait for the phantom demon to appear.

On the desolate land, a large circle of people were lying there, fortunately, it was not yet autumn, but the wind was still a little cold on the body, Sanyu lay on the side for a long time and began to shiver with cold, there was no bedding or blanket, she wanted to squeeze to the side of Yang Chengzi, but was stopped by Chen San in the middle and couldn't squeeze through, looked up at Chen San, and slept like a dead pig with her eyes closed, I don't know if it was a real sleep or a fake sleep.

The wind is blowing, it looks very desolate, I haven't suffered any grievances since I was a child, and now I ran out to find Yang Chengzi, although my father and mother agreed, but this condition is really unbearable, and the villagers just sleep in a bed, so there is a bed to sleep in, now it's good, not to mention the bed, there is no blanket, I think of the soft and warm bedding at home, and Cui'er to talk to herself.
