Chapter 772: Brick Dai Xiao
Zhong Lingyu, a disciple of the Qingwei faction, has outstanding qualifications, and has always been in the first echelon since the establishment of the Taoist Academy. Although it is not as dazzling as Lu Yuanqing and others, it is also highly respected, and was even regarded as a candidate for abbot for a time.
For more than 30 years, from acquired to congenital to human immortals, step by step is very down-to-earth. No one expected that Yu would incarnate and die at the pass of impacting the immortals.
"Life is easy to end in the morning, and the world is impermanent and bad. β
The thirty-six friends of Qi Yun left one by one, and in a few decades, those companions who were not qualified enough to be trapped in the innate realm all their lives will also reach the time when their longevity is exhausted.
It is conceivable that apart from Lu Yuanqing, Zhang Wumeng, Sikong Chan, Zhang Shouyang, and Chao Kongtu, how many are left? Even Bai Yunsheng has an unpredictable future.
However, it is gratifying that the second-generation disciples have lived up to expectations.
Although only He He was promoted, the overall level was there, Fei Qin, Lin Siyi, Xu Ziying and others were still very young. Just like the scholars in their twenties in ancient times, sooner or later they would get the title of the Jinshi and the title of the gold list.
The fall of Zhong Lingyu shocked the whole country, and the holy places of Taoism such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Wudang Mountain, and Baiyun Temple held many days of Jiao. Hundreds of abbots of the high meritorious path performed rituals, sacrificed to the souls of the dead, and prayed for blessings to ward off disasters.
Especially the Qingwei faction, it even held a Luo Tian Jiao.
Luo Tian Dajiao can be called one of the most solemn activities in Taoist rituals, and the pattern, meaning, and sacrifice period are all grand and huge. This time not only to mourn Zhong Lingyu, but also to clarify a broader theme:
One protects the country and blesses the people, the second is to spend the requiem of death, the third is to eliminate disasters and disasters, and the fourth is to pray for blessings and thanksgiving. Even if the common people are sick or in calamities, they can go to rub the talismans.
Therefore, both the government and the private sector are fully supportive. Daomen's hand is quite good, it was originally a feeling of sorrow and sorrow, and it immediately became a model of deep understanding of righteousness and practice.
As for other colleagues, Zhai Jiao will not participate, and will mostly visit privately. For example, in Phoenix Mountain, You Yu came to the door in person, and Long Qiu came to greet Gu Yu.
To put it mildly, they are all companions who seek immortals and ask questions, and it is inevitable that Zhi will sigh and hurt them.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Bashu, Qingcheng Mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain is known as the fifth cave heaven, Zhang Daoling once preached here, the origin has been a long time, and it has undergone many changes.
In the Jin Dynasty, Qingcheng Mountain belonged to the Southern Heavenly Master Dao, and in the Ming Dynasty, it became the Quanzhen Longmen Sect, and until now, it still belongs to the Dantai Bidong Sect of the Longmen Sect.
In the past, the Daomen was chaotic and negligent in management, and it was obviously the Quanzhen Dao, but there were dozens of large and small Dao Palaces on the mountain, and the largest one was called the Heavenly Master Cave, well, it was still a popular attraction.
After the unification and purge, the Taoist Association came forward to coordinate, and Quanzhen handed over his nationality to Zhengyi, and changed back to the Heavenly Master Dao, and merged the various palaces and temples to be under the management of the Heavenly Master Cave.
It was early in the morning, and it was just dawning.
Qingcheng has long been overcrowded, especially a mountain path leading to the Heavenly Master Cave, squeezed and pressed into a long dragon. Zhong Lingyu fell, and Zhai Jiao was held everywhere, and Tianshi Cave was no exception.
It's seven days, and today is the last day. In addition to the normal rituals, the palace will also distribute a certain number of talismans every day to cure diseases and dispel evil spirits, and the town house is safe, with different types.
The people nearby are flocking to it, if you can't imagine it, Lama Temple grabs the head pillar incense to understand!
In a short time, the sun rose and the sky was bright. The Taoist priests finished their morning classes and began their ritual activities. As soon as the gate opened, thousands of people poured in, and hundreds of talismans were swept away.
Among them, there is another man, named Wu Chao, who lives in Dujiangyan City, according to which he is more than 20 kilometers.
He's been grabbing it since day one, and he hasn't grabbed one yet. It's not easy to hire people to rank this thing, and there are no scalpers, after all, the fairy talisman is beneficial to yourself.
It's the same today, Wu Chao watched the last talisman being taken away, and it was painful.
His family was poor and had no money to buy, so he only ate a bowl of spiritual rice at the annual meeting of the unit, and by the way, he broke a few spiritual bananas and went home for his children to eat.
So a free talisman means a lot to him, but the reality is cruel, so he has to go down the mountain and go home in despair.
Along the way, there were many non-chieftains similar to him, and there were also a few European bigwigs, who were smuggling with demonic runes. He secretly scolded in his heart: They are all poor ghosts who rely on people's alms, you just grabbed a bowl of rice, what is there to be proud of?
That's true, but my heart still longs for it very much.
Talking in pieces, Wu Chao soon arrived at the foot of the back mountain, and there were no people around him, Qingcheng Mountain was secluded, the woods were hidden, and there was the sound of birdsong from time to time.
He continued down the path, turning two corners, and a quaint door wall suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
Wu Chao was stunned, oh, there seems to be a small view here, what is it called Feiyun Temple, which also belongs to the Heavenly Master Cave.
And when he passed by the gate, he saw that it was quiet and pleasant, and the demons sent him in. The courtyard is not large, with three houses, for a small god.
There was a big tree in the courtyard, and a Taoist priest was sitting drinking tea, and when he saw him, he greeted: "The monk is well." β
"Uh, I'm good, I won't bother you, right?"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. β
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to give up his seat and said with a smile: "The monk just came down from above?"
"yes, I didn't grab the talisman today!"
Wu Chao sat on the stone bench, only to feel cool, and couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.
"There are hundreds of talismans, and there are tens of millions of people, so I can't force them. β
"I know, but I've been here for seven days...... Anyway, it's not going well!"
Seeing his kind face and indifferent temperament, he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Don't hide it, it's not easy for us poor people to get something." My mother was sick a while ago and it was difficult to heal, so I wanted to beg Zhang Fuqi to go back, alas......"
"Oh, I don't know what kind of disease you have?" asked the Taoist priest.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a long-term recuperation, good food and drink. β
Wu Chao shook his head again and again, his face helpless.
ββ¦β¦β
The Taoist priest was silent, and suddenly said: "You are also filial, and there is a talisman here in the poor road." β
Symbol?
He immediately raised his head, only to see the other party take out a yellow talisman and put it on the stone table, "The poor Dao mana is low, so I can only take care of this small temple, but I don't dare to slack off on weekdays, and I practice the mystical law diligently." This talisman was made by me personally, and even if it is not as good as a few senior brothers, it can have seven or eight successful effects. If you don't like it, give it to ......"
"Thank you, Chief, thank you!"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Chao had already clenched the talisman tightly in his hand.
Not long after, he came out of Feiyunguan, still in a trance for this unexpected joy, and sighed that he was lucky and had the help of nobles.
Qingcheng Mountain is really an important place for Taoism, and all the Taoist chiefs are talents, and they speak well...... Ahh
On the way back, he kept pinching this talisman, the material and rune patterns were exactly the same as those he had seen in the Heavenly Master Cave, and he also exuded a faint warm aura.
Seven or eight are successful, it's okay!
In the afternoon, Wu Chao returned home. The family has a large number of people, including parents, children, and a family of cousins who came to live in it, a total of nine people.
No way, rich people are mostly similar, and poor people are poor in their own way.
When he told him about his adventure, his family was very happy, and according to the instructions of the Taoist leader, he put the talisman in a cotton bag and stuffed it into the wall, and it would be healed in three days.
After that, the whole family paid attention to the mother's state all the time.
That Dao Changguo is a pure and good person, and the talisman is indeed effective. The next day, my mother's complexion improved significantly and she no longer coughed. On the second day, he was able to walk around the ground, his appetite was restored, and his body had strength. On the third day, his complexion was ruddy, and he looked no different from ordinary people, but he was a little thinner.
A big stone fell in his heart, Wu Chao was happy, and the two of them made love lightly that night.
He lay on the bed and thought silently, the Taoist said that he could be healed in three days, and today was the third day, so tomorrow should be all right. Just take a break tomorrow, get up early, and go to the morning market to buy a fresh fish.
Her mother loves fish and hasn't made it for her for a long time......
Thinking about it, Wu Chao fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took, in a daze, I suddenly heard an exclamation from next door, and after a while, there was an even stronger cry from the old father.
He was suddenly agitated, and hurriedly ran to the next door, and saw his mother fall to the ground, her face turned purple, and she had long lost her breath. The old father collapsed on the bed, crying until his voice was as terrible as a ghost's howl.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The time of death was around four o'clock in the morning, no obvious signs of death were found, and if you agree, we would like to take the body back for a closer examination. β
Due to the strange and sudden death of his mother, Wu Chao called the police as soon as possible, and when he heard about it, he also sent two monks to come. Nowadays, the division of labor within the police is clear, and ordinary people are becoming more and more in logistics and civilian work, and the front line is basically monks.
And they checked it, and preliminarily determined that it was an unnatural death, or related to magic, and at this moment several people were making interrogation notes in the living room.
As he spoke, a wife's cry suddenly came from the back room.
"Dad!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Chao stood up and rushed over like crazy, seeing that the old father was also lying on the bed, his face was purple, and he went with his mother.
The two civil servants and monks were also shocked, the death of one was terrible, and the death of two was even more serious, and it was inevitable that they would think of murder, extermination, and the like.
"Don't cry in a hurry, this matter is not trivial! Once this thing happens, it can't be prevented, and it must be solved as soon as possible!"
One of them grabbed Wu Chao, pulled him up, and said in a loud voice: "Think about it, have you offended anyone recently, or encountered any strange things?"
Wu Chao was about to collapse, shocked and sad, and his facial features were twisted into a ball and looked particularly hideous.
"We are all honest people, what can we hate...... Strange things, strange things, strange ......"
He jerked free of the man, rushed to a wall, his fingers dripping with blood, and dug down a trap with a small recess and a cotton bag.
"This!
He took the cloth bag and pulled the rope, "I begged in Qingcheng Mountain, I begged in Qingcheng Mountain!"
Ga!
Wu Chao's voice stopped abruptly, and the seal fell off, revealing the objects inside.
Not a charm, but a brick wrapped in a white cloth.
The white cloth was unusually white, white and dazzling, terrifying, and it slammed into everyone's optic nerveβit was a filial piety scarf for wearing linen and filial piety.
(I'm going to break out this month!!)
