Volume 2 Plane Hegemony Chapter 291 The Aftermath of the Destruction of the Buddha in the Troubled Times
Thinking of what Wang Fulai said about the chanting sound that came out late at night, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Although Wang Fulai was also very frightened, he was still unwilling to give up the mansion that had been built with a lot of money, and wanted everyone to carry the coffin away and bury it elsewhere.
Everyone brought ropes to carry the coffin, and several strong men tried their best, but the coffin did not move, and everyone was afraid and did not dare to try again, so they had to give up.
Although Wang Fulai was reluctant to live in this mansion, he couldn't carry the coffin, and he didn't dare to live in the same room with the deceased anymore, so he had no choice but to move and temporarily live in a relative's house.
However, to Wang Fulai's surprise, this disaster was unavoidable, and the dead monk seemed to be entangled with Wang Fulai, even if Wang Fulai moved elsewhere, the sound of chanting would reach his ears in the middle of the night, disturbing his mind and keeping him awake at night!
Mental trance during the day. One day of bad luck, walking on the road, he was hit by a carriage and almost died.
Wang Fulai was overwhelmed, begging God and worshiping Buddha everywhere, asking Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits, and asking monks to cross over, but to no avail, and finally physically and mentally exhausted, and people were getting thinner and thinner!
When he was desperate, he suddenly heard about Luo Hongzi's feat of slaying the demon dragon! So he rushed to this peach blossom village to invite a real person.
After listening to Wang Fulai's narration, Luo Hongzi thought for a moment and asked: Are there any temples in your county in the past few hundred years? If you are not sure, you can check the county records first!
Generally speaking, the dead don't haunt the people in the yang world for no reason! If you go and check the county records of this county, you may be able to find out the monk's life history, so as to meet his request and get rid of the entanglement.
Wang Fulai hurriedly thanked him, and after saying goodbye to Luo Hongzi, he rushed back to the county seat in a hurry. After returning to the county seat, I looked for the county chronicle and found that there was indeed a relevant record on it!
It turned out that in the previous dynasties, there was a temple where Wang Fulai's mansion was located, the abbot in the temple was greedy for money, deceived the believers in the name of the Buddha, and wantonly collected money, after the country changed hands, the new emperor ascended the throne, hated the greed of Buddhism, ordered the purge of Buddhism, the abbot was denounced, arrested and imprisoned, and was sentenced to death and killed in the wilderness.
After the abbot died, the believers could not bear to see his corpse in the wilderness, so they raised money to make a thin coffin for it, and buried it in the backyard of the temple, and then the wind of destroying the Buddha intensified, the temple was destroyed, razed to the ground, not long after, the place where the temple is located has become a wilderness, and there is no trace of the temple.
Wang Fulai rushed back to Peach Blossom Village overnight and told Luo Hongzi the truth about the information he had consulted.
Luo Hongzi taught him a way, reciting the abbot monk's good fortune, and asked him to throw the gold ingots in his coffin. Wang Fulai cried and begged Luo Hongzi to accompany him!
Luo Hongzi had no choice but to agree, and returned to the mansion in the county town with Wang Fulai early the next morning. I personally watched Wang Fulai put a piece of gold in the coffin of the abbot monk, and waited to see what changed!
But there was no movement for a long time, so that night Luo Hongzi and the three accompanied Wang Fulai to live in his mansion.
As a result, the sound of chanting at night was really a little quieter, and there was nothing to say until dawn. After the dawn, Wang Fulai asked people to carry the coffin again, the coffin moved slightly, but it still could not be lifted, so he had to continue to throw money into the coffin, every time he threw some money, the coffin was a little lighter!
Until the monk's bones were buried with money, the coffin could be lifted, and Wang Fulai promised him that after the burial, he would change a golden silk nanmu coffin, and the person who carried the coffin suddenly felt much lighter.
So the workers hurriedly carried the coffin out and carried it to a nearby wasteland, and then replaced it with a nanmu coffin and buried it with the money.
The matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, and Wang Fulai was very grateful! He wanted to send some gold and silver to Luo Hongzi, but Luo Hongzi politely declined! He only told him to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future, otherwise his wealth would not last long.
On the way, Luo Hongzi said with emotion: Although I am a cultivator, I am quite resistant to being destroyed by the Buddha! I don't know when the sequelae of destroying the Buddha in this troubled world will appear.....
There must be a lot of destroyed temples and temples nearby, and I have a request, hoping that Brother Bai Jiao can accompany me to find out the bones of those monks who were killed and bury them for overburial. I wonder if the Baijiao brothers can agree?
The white Jiao said: Since you have been helping me accompany me all the way, why worry about this little thing! I will accompany you.
Seeing that Bai Jiao agreed to his request, Luo Hongzi happily went to the vicinity to find those bones and ruins!
One day, I came to a place called "Rain Mountain". Bai Jiao and Na Lin Hei'er just wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Luo Hongzi, who observed it and said: There is a demonic spirit in this temple.....
Bai Jiao asked incomprehensibly: Where is the demonic qi? Why didn't I see it!
Luo Hongzi said: I don't lie to you, this place does have demonic energy, and the demonic energy is very great! I am a cultivator, so I can naturally see it, and I can't blame you if you can't see it! Strictly speaking, you have it in you. Maybe it's because you turned into a dragon and purified the demonic energy on your body!
Bai Jiao nodded and said "oh" and then said no more! This demon subduing and subduing demons is originally a skill that cultivators are good at, and there is no need to understand it himself!
It is also strange to say that this Yushan Temple is located in the depths of Yushan, although it is far away from the world, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, but it is still the peak of incense! People who come to burn incense and worship Buddha every day are endless.
Looking at these pilgrims who came to burn incense, Luo Hongzi decided not to go in first, and see what the situation was before making plans!
With the gradual increase in the number of people who came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, Luo Hongzi couldn't see the reason for him for a while. So he pretended to be a tourist and went up to inquire about the situation with a pilgrim who had come to make incense.
It turns out that this Yushan Temple was originally a thousand-year-old temple, because the previous dynasty destroyed the Buddha, the monks in the temple were slaughtered, and no one repaired it for a long time and it was dilapidated! It has been abandoned for many years. Later, a group of monks came out of nowhere, renovated the temple, and entered the temple to serve the Buddha.
It is strange to say, since then the temple often shows the traces of the Buddha, there is a golden light shrouded in the night, the sky above the temple often shows the shadow of the Buddha, there is a Buddha chanting faintly in the clouds, the voice is solemn, the people who see all kowtow and worship.
What is even more bizarre is that there are countless jackals, tigers, leopards, and other fierce beasts in the temple, but these fierce beasts do not hurt people! When they see someone coming, they bow their foreheads and bow down, as docile as cats, and they have no anger. Seeing the monks in the temple, they were even more humble and obedient, prostrating themselves to show respect, quite spiritual!
Whenever there are monks open the altar to preach, the beasts will gather under the stage to listen, the demeanor is pious, according to the monks in the temple, these beasts are inspired by the Dharma, gather in the temple, listen to the scriptures and enlighten the Tao.
After the people of the mountain village learned of this, they were convinced that there was a Buddha in the temple to protect them, and they flocked to burn incense to worship, and the monks in the temple also opened the temple door to recruit pilgrims, and since then the incense of Leishan Temple has flourished, and the pilgrims are like a stream.
After asking about the situation in the temple, Luo Hongzi also felt puzzled! Could it be that he was dazzled? It was impossible! Even now he felt a demonic aura.....
What the hell is going on? While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a young man walking by in a hurry, lost in spirit. Looking at him, he seems to be worried, and there is a strong air of death between his eyebrows!
Luo Hongzi hurriedly stopped him, because he also knew some knowledge of physiognomy in his own cultivation, and seeing that this person's physiognomy would immediately have a sign of impending disaster!
The man was losing his soul when he suddenly saw someone blocking his way, and he couldn't help but feel irritated!
Luo Hongzi chuckled and told the young man what he had seen, and the man looked shocked! Because the hexagram Luo Hongzi said contained his current predicament. So he immediately bowed to the ground and begged Luo Hongzi to save his life!
Luo Hongzi helped him up and asked why. I just heard the young man start telling him about his situation!
His name is Zou Taojin, and he is a native of a village at the foot of Yushan Mountain. His five-year-old son disappeared some time ago and was searched for two days and two nights, but nothing was found. Zou Taojin's wife died not long after giving birth to her son, and he and his son usually depend on each other for their lives, and they are very affectionate!
After his son disappeared, he didn't think about tea or dinner, and he was worried about his son's safety! When he heard that Yushan Temple was very effective, he decided to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for his son's early return, hoping that the Buddha would bless his son to return as soon as possible.
On the erection day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zou Taojin came to the Yushan Temple, and sure enough, it was as rumored! There were many fierce beasts in the temple, but they did not hurt people. Seeing Zou Taojin's foreheads showing goodwill, he was very docile! However, he found that those fierce beasts all had scars on their bodies, and they seemed to be often whipped with whips.
Some of the fierce beasts have deep scars on their bodies, which shows that they are extremely ruthless, and I don't know who did it in this temple with mercy!
Zou Taojin shook his head, came to the Buddha hall, there were several monks in the hall were chanting, he stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, burned incense and prayed, kowtowed three heads devoutly, finished worshipping, turned around and went out of the hall door.
When he came out, he glanced back at the monks, but felt a little strange, although the monks had solemn faces, their demeanor was a little wrong, and their eyes were rolling when chanting, which was very funny and a little terrifying.
Out of the Buddha hall, Zou Taojin walked outside the temple, then heard a sound behind him, looked back, it was a little wolf, the little wolf looked at Zou Taojin tightly, his eyes were tearful, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't make a wolf howl when he opened his mouth!
Zou Taojin didn't care and continued to move forward, but the little wolf kept following Zou Taojin, Zou Taojin was puzzled, reached out and touched the little wolf's head, and the little wolf jumped and jumped around Zou Taojin.
At this time, a monk in the temple saw this, stepped forward, picked up the little wolf, said the Buddha and said: "This wolf is young, there are no rules, disturbing the donor, the donor is not strange." ”
Zou Taojin hurriedly said: It's okay, the monk took the little wolf away, the little wolf struggled and wailed in the monk's arms, screaming very miserably, it seemed that he was very afraid of the monk, something went wrong, and remembered many abnormalities in the temple, Zou Taojin had a faint bad premonition in his heart!
There is some ulterior secret hidden in this temple, and when I think of this, I am a little scared in my heart, and I hurriedly walk out of the temple gate.
That night, Zou Taojin had a nightmare, dreaming that his son was scarred, crying and saying "Daddy save me, daddy save me", Zou Taojin woke up from the dream, missed his son, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
On the second day, Zou Taojin thought about it and felt that something was not right, so he went up the mountain again to find out.
After listening to Zou Taojin's narration, Luo Hongzi thought about it and whispered: There is a problem with this temple, and the monks inside should be monsters!
Zou Taojin looked at Luo Hongzi in horror and asked, "Then was my son captured by these monsters?"
Luo Hongzi comforted: It's okay, you just follow me, if your son is in their hands and not dead, then I promise you that I will help you rescue him.
Zou Taojin was grateful to kneel down for Luo Hongzi, Luo Hongzi hurriedly helped him up, and whispered: This is not the place to talk, let's change places and prepare and start acting.
So the four of them came to a secluded place, which was also outside the walls of the monastery, and no one would pass by.
Luo Hongzi opened the altar and asked Zou Taojin for a close thing of his son, but Zou Taojin was puzzled, but he still opened a sachet from his chest and took out a handful of hair from it. It was specially cut out when I was a child and kept as a souvenir.
Zou Taojin pulled out a strand of hair from it and handed it to Luo Hongzi, Luo Hongzi took out a piece of yellow paper, asked his son's eight characters, and then wrote Zou Taojin's son's birthday eight characters on the paper.
Then he wrapped his hair in paper, folded it into a paper crane, and blew on the paper crane, and the paper crane flew up and flew towards the courtyard wall!
"Follow this crane, and you will find the place where your son is. Luo Hongzi said.
Seeing this, Zou Taojin was amazed! Then, Bai Jiao used a spell to hold up several people and entered the courtyard wall together. Zou Taojin and Luo Hongzi walked together and followed behind the paper crane, all the way inside.
Along the way, Zou Taojin still said in disbelief: "Buddhism is pure, how can there be demons?"
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Luo Hongzi made him close his eyes, and then wiped his eyes. Then Zou Taojin opened his eyes and was stunned! I saw the black qi rising in the temple, the demon wind gusting, where is the solemn pure land, but the dark and terrifying place.
Luo Hongzi said to Zou Taojin: "The demonic spirit here is overwhelming, this temple has been occupied by demons, I am afraid that the monks inside are not human, and they will follow me in for a while, and they must be careful." ”
Zou Taojin nodded, quite frightened in his heart, followed behind Luo Hongzi and entered the temple. The paper crane turned around and came to an abandoned monk's house and stopped in front of the door. Luo Hongzi pushed open the door of the house, only to smell a fishy smell coming to his face!
Zou Taojin stretched out his head to look inside, only to see that the house was stained with blood, and there were many children's corpses on the ground, and there were traces of gnawing on the corpses, and some had been gnawed into a white bone, which was very terrifying.
Luo Hongzi walked into the house, pointed to a little wolf lying in the corner, who was beaten all over his body and bruised, and said to him: "This is your son." ”
Zou Taojin was a little surprised, and he didn't know why people said this.
Luo Hongzi took out a fan from his waist, and the fan surface of the fan was densely painted with many charms, and the word "Imperial Decree" was written in the middle, which was not like an ordinary fan!
Luo Hongzi held a fan in his hand and fanned the little wolf, and in an instant, the little wolf turned into a child, which was Zou Taojin's son.
"It is an unforgivable sin to turn a child into a fierce beast and do such a thing that hurts nature and reason. Luo Hongzi said angrily!
When Zou Taojin saw his son, he hurriedly stepped forward to check on his son's condition! He put his hand in front of his son's nose to test it, his breath was faint, and he was already in a state of near death! Zou Taojin hugged his son and wept bitterly, and he was very sad.
Luo Hongzi hurriedly stopped: "Don't cry, follow me out of the temple, I have my own way to save this son." ”
Zou Taojin has seen Luo Hongzi's ability and trusts Luo Hongzi's words very much. He picked up his son and followed Luo Hongzi towards the outside of the temple, it was still early at this time, and he did not meet the monks in the temple on the way.
But on the way, he saw a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, Luo Hongzi fanned the fierce beasts with a fan, and those fierce beasts all became children.
Coming to the outside of the temple, there is a mountain jujube tree next to the temple, Luo Hongzi asked Zou Taojin to pick a jujube, Luo Hongzi held the jujube, read the words, and then handed it to Zou Taojin, asking him to feed his son to serve, Zou Taojin was puzzled, "A jujube can bring his son back to life?"
Seeing that Zou Taojin was suspicious, Luo Hongzi smiled and said: "My spell jujube technique can make white bones and flesh, and the dead will be able to revive your son." ”
After Zou Taojin listened, he put his mind at ease, and fed the dates to his son according to Luo Hongzi's instructions, and after a while, his son really woke up leisurely, and the scars on his body disappeared, Zou Taojin was overjoyed when he saw this, and he was busy kowtowing to Luo Hongzi to thank him.
After the son woke up, he hugged Zou Taojin and cried non-stop, coaxed for a long time before stopping, and then told what happened to him, because he was still young, and he was frightened, his speech was slurred, and it took a lot of effort to understand!
It turned out that he was captured by the monks in the temple, I don't know what kind of magic he used, he turned it into a little wolf, raised it in the temple, and ordered him to bow down on his forehead when he met someone, so as to show the magic of Buddhism in the temple.
The rescued children also complained one after another, telling about what happened in the temple, the monks in the temple were vicious, beating the children at every turn, and if they dared to escape, they were beaten to death, and after being killed, they were thrown into the abandoned monk's house.
"And...... And those monks eat people, I saw them eat the dead in that dark room. A child said with fear in his eyes.
"This group of demons is so vicious and resentful, but why do they occupy this temple and do everything possible to lure pilgrims to come and worship?" Zou Taojin was puzzled and asked Luo Hongzi.
Luo Hongzi said hatefully: "It's nothing more than coveting incense, demons and the like, you can also increase your Taoism by smoking incense, but you have done such a hurtful thing for this, the sin is unforgivable, and it will not be forgiven, I will do the way for heaven today, and destroy demons." ”
Luo Hongzi walked to the front of the temple, stepped on the steps, chanted a mantra in his mouth, danced the fan, and there was a faint flash of thunder and lightning on the fan!
