Da Mao Peak, Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace.

The view was built in the Western Han Dynasty, dedicated to the big Mao Zhenjun Mao Ying, the Yuan Dynasty called the Shenghu Temple, the Ming Wanli built the temple, gave the name of the Nine Heavens Wanfu Palace. At this moment, in a quiet room in the inner courtyard, Wu Songbai, the abbot of the Maoshan faction, sat in front of the desk, holding a scroll of Taoist scriptures, and was looking at it in a daze.

"Stomp, stomp!"

There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the court, and Shaoqing stopped outside the door and said, "Abbot, people have arrived in the town." ”

"Well, ask Jingyi to entertain the guests and prepare some fasting feasts. Wu Songbai commanded.

“……”

The man outside the door didn't move, and hesitated: "Abbot, they are extraordinary people, should we express it?"

"Do you want the mountain gate to be opened, the abbot to welcome you, the high merit to wait, and the fairy music to sing together?" Wu Songbai quipped.

"Uh......"

The man was speechless.

"Alright, let's go get ready. ”

"Yes!"

The man retreated, and he shook his head, turning the pages and continuing to study.

Just two days ago, there was a word of mouth from Phoenix Mountain that he was going to visit in the near future. The whole faction was panicked, but Wu Songbai didn't care.

It is said that Maoshan and Tianshi Dao are both Fu Gong Three Mountains, but the situation is much more miserable. During the Japanese-ghost war, it was still a revolutionary base, but unfortunately it was swept away by the enemy, set fire to the mountain, and almost destroyed the three palaces and five views. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhengyi was naturally at a disadvantage due to its special attributes, and Maoshan was a disadvantage among the disadvantages.

Catching ghosts and raising ghosts, refining corpses and driving corpses, proper feudal superstition!

Therefore, the official suppression of the Maoshan faction was extremely serious, so much so that for decades, the faction was on the verge of extinction. Thanks to the previous abbots, they endured the humiliation and did their best to preserve some inheritance.

Later, even if the government allowed religious freedom, when the Heavenly Master's Mansion regained its prestige, the Maoshan lineage still did not dare to publicize it, and only closed its doors to cultivate.

And it was during this period that there were many big ** people in the people, swaggering and deceiving under the guise of Maoshan......

Perhaps it is this kind of experience that has caused the painting style to be completely different. Just like Zhang Jintong, as a leader of Zhengyi, he is too worldly and accustomed to camping, so he is really better than Wu Songbai.

………

"What a fairy family!"

Gu Yu walked slowly on the mountain road, looking at the strange rocks, the deep caves, the white mist, and the winding streams crisscrossing each other, and couldn't help but admire.

"When the world mentions Maoshan Mountain, the capital is the treasure land of Xuanmen, but they forget that it is beautiful, no less than the famous rivers of Wuyue. Jing Yi said with a smile.

The man is in his twenties and has an amiable attitude. He is also a disciple of Wu Songbai, but his talent is not as good as Chao Kongtu, and he was not selected to enter the Taoist Academy.

"The two complement each other in the first place. Gu Yu responded.

“……”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Zhai rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention at all. Xiao Jin was in a hurry next to her, and she couldn't wait to use her step magic technique and fly up directly. She couldn't help but hug her sister and signal her to be calm.

That's right, this trip is a bit special, because Little Soap also came with him - his mother had an accident, and no one could refuse a filial child.

So the three of them came, leaving only Long Qiu in Shengtian, and Yang Qing also had the evil pill to contain him, so there was no obstacle for the time being.

They walked for half an hour, and then they arrived at the Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Blessings Palace.

This palace is built on the mountain, the momentum is magnificent, just overlooking Maoshan Town. There are four halls inside: the first one is the Lingguan Palace, the second is the Tibetan Scripture Building, the third is the Taiyuan Treasure Palace, there is the Yingxu Taoist Courtyard in the east, there is the Yihu Taoist Courtyard in the west, and the fourth one is the table platform and the two temples.

The table table is also known as the flying platform, and according to legend, Mao Ying is here to fly the crane. The second temple is for Mao Ying's parents, the east side is the Taoist house and the living room, the west side is the Yiyun Building, and the upstairs displays the "four treasures of Zhenshan", which are the jade seal, the jade gui, the jade charm, the Ha inkstone, all of which are treasures of the Song Dynasty.

They walked along the Lingguan Palace, and when they passed a small square, Gu Yu couldn't help but turn his head and look at a middle-aged woman who was sweeping the floor.

The woman was plainly dressed, her face was miserable, and she looked slightly strange.

"Is that a layman in the Guanli?" asked Gu Yu.

"She was originally a wealthy family in Maoshan Town, and a few days ago her father-in-law opened the first seven, and her youngest son somehow fell into the evil spirit. It was not easy to raise at home, so I discussed with a junior brother and sent him to live in the mountains first. The mother took pity on the child, so she gave up her home to accompany her up the mountain, and took the initiative to help clean it on weekdays. Jingyi said.

"How's that kid?" asked Xiao Zhai.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm young and not used to it. The abbot said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it all depends on one's own creation. ”

"Oh......"

The two of them nodded, glanced at the woman again, and then continued on their way.

While speaking, Jingyi led them to the front of the living room, and then said goodbye. They went in by themselves, there was no one inside, and after waiting for a while, they saw a round-faced old road coming out from behind the screen.

This feeling at first glance was much better than Zhang Jintong, and the three of them hurriedly saluted: "But Wu Songbai's senior?"

"Hehe, sit!"

Wu Songbai stretched out his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, he sat in the main seat first, looked at it unabashedly, and praised: "Sure enough, it is well known, and there are dragons and phoenixes among people...... This little friend is also extraordinary, which is rare. ”

It's a little soap.

People praised it, and my sister and brother-in-law wanted to thank her back, but Xiao Jin couldn't help it, and said directly: "Senior, my mother was caught by a ghost, we came to ask for a way to save her, I hope you will give me advice!"

"What are the symptoms?"

"It's like schizophrenia, afraid of light, always yelling, and very, very hungry. When we found out, she had been eating for a day and a night, but her stomach was completely fine!"

"That's all?" asked.

Well?

Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, as if she still couldn't look down on the ghost, and said, "Yes, that's all! Senior, can you cure it?"

"Little things, don't worry. ”

Wu Songbai pretended to be forced to speak, paused, and said with a smile: "You came by coincidence, just in time for the meal, I specially prepared some food, and we talked while eating." ”

With that, he got up and led the way, and went straight to the hall.

“……”

Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai are also amazing, the old man can, he really feels a little superior.

…………

Zhai is vegetarian food, green vegetable tofu, flower roll steamed buns, and a bowl of melon slice soup.

The outside is a hall, and the inside is a private room, and a few people sit around the table. Wu Songbai picked up the chopsticks and explained: "Today is the fasting day, you can't eat meat, I have wronged you." ”

"It's okay, we don't eat much meat either. Gu Yu said.

"That's not the right word, but I love meat. ”

Lao Dao sandwiched a piece of tofu and chewed it into his mouth with soup and water, looking unpleasant.

Scold!

Seeing this, the two liked this temperament and moved their chopsticks one after another. This dish is really delicious, and half of it is wiped out in a blink of an eye.

"Senior, I don't think you're surprised when you mentioned the ghost upper body just now, have you already seen a ghost?" Gu Yu asked.

"I haven't seen it, but I know that this ghost will come out sooner or later. ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Sumire.

"Do you know what a ghost is?" Wu Songbai asked.

"Is it the soul of a person after death?"

"Roughly speaking, but according to the Taoist concept, all mortals have three souls and seven spirits, which are a whole, and they are collectively called gods. The souls of the living are condensed, and of course sometimes separated. For example, when a baby is frightened, it will cry or have convulsions, and in severe cases, it will also suffer from mental disorders. Just because the baby's soul has not been completely run-in, it is easy to collapse. ”

Wu Songbai wiped his mouth and said, "Why did that person die? First, the essence of the physical body is weakened, and second, the spirit of the soul cannot be condensed. After death, the spirits usually coalesce for seven days, after which they are separated.

The so-called ghosts generally refer to two kinds, one is a new ghost within seven days, and the other is a wandering spirit after seven days. The former still retains memories of his life, while the latter is only a fragmentary part, either with little sanity or unintentional ignorance.

Although they exist in the human world, yin and yang are separated from each other, do not interfere with each other, and it is difficult to communicate. It must go through a ritualized procedure, such as the first seven of the people, or the Taoist priest's practice of summoning spirits, before it can be seen.

Of course, there is another kind, called the ghost of vain.

Burning, flooding, burying alive, starvation, whipping, abuse, suicide, etc., are all called death in vain. These people's grievances are extremely heavy, their obsessions are strong, and their scattered souls will be attached to the most important artifact in their lives and will last for a long time. If someone touches or offends, they will not forgive.

Your mother is supposed to be a starving ghost. ”

“……”

Gu Yu frowned and pondered, and asked, "Senior, then according to you, during the period of depletion of spiritual energy, do ghosts still exist?"

"I think there is, because it is impossible for a person's soul to disappear, and if there is a soul, there must be a ghost. It's just that the time of existence is greatly reduced, such as seven days becoming a day, and even just after death, the spirit is separated. Wu Songbai groaned.

"Where did the separated soul go? Six realms of reincarnation?" Little Soap was dumbfounded.

Well?

Wu Songbai looked at her strangely, and then at the two parents: Mom and Dad couldn't bear to look at her, and felt embarrassed.

He knew it in his heart, but he still explained: "Hell and reincarnation are all Buddhist sayings. Taoism's cultivation is to ascend in the daytime and become an immortal in this life, not to mention any reincarnation. Although there is a book of "Lao Jun's Void and Nature", which talks about the concept of the five realms of reincarnation, it is obviously poisoned by Buddhism and cannot be counted. However, Taoism also has corresponding theories, and the "Book of Transformation" has clouds: all things, one thing, all gods, one god, the Tao is the best.

All things in this universe are Taoized and one.

When a person's soul is scattered, it will recombine with other scattered souls to become a new divine soul, that is, a new life. In fact, the soul of a person can be transformed into the soul of an animal, and the soul of an animal can be transformed into the soul of a human. ”

"Senpai!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhai suddenly asked: "If you know a person's three souls and seven spirits, can you wake up her 'past life' through spells?"

"This ......"

Wu Songbai thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, it can, but those who can do this, I'm afraid that they are characters who can penetrate the heavens and the earth, who can really break through life and death, and the gods are omniscient, the qi is no different, and the form is omnipresent, which is what the Sanfeng Dao people say......"

"If you go along with it, if you go against it, you will be immortal, only upside down in between!" Gu Yu continued.

"Hahaha, exactly!" laughed the old way.

Several people chatted for a long time in the dining hall, and they revolved around the topic of ghosts and reincarnation.

Wu Songbai has not yet arrived at the congenital, but his knowledge is very deep, and communicating with him, Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai are ashamed of themselves. And this old-fashioned temperament is free and easy, informal, which makes people feel good.

Of course, in the end, he also showed some careful thoughts, "Since there are ghosts and monsters, I will not let Maoshan do it, but I am old, so I still ask my apprentice to go with you." ”

(The recommendation has finally reached a million!)
