Chapter 21: Death
A week has passed in a flash.
A few days ago, the mayor of the town invited Uncle Nine to get together with the priest, and he wanted the two to ease their relationship, but they broke up unhappily, and the voice of the choir in the church every morning was consciously controlled after being disturbed by Ye Yi for a few days.
However, the reopening of the church could not be stopped, on the contrary, with the frequent distribution of some items and the novelty attracted many townspeople to listen to the scriptures and believe in religion.
Most of the people in China have this kind of idea, 'foreign monks will recite scriptures' and so on, which is quite lively.
Later in the evening.
In front of the statue of the patriarch in the ancestral hall in the backyard, there was smoke, and Ah Xing and Xiao Yue were sitting on the futon and reading scriptures below.
Ye Yi walked in from outside the house with a white paper lantern, stood behind the two, and the two continued to chant for a while before stopping.
"Senior brother, a hundred times the "Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Tianzun Says the Sutra of Saving Suffering" has been recited. ”
"Okay!" Ye Yi nodded, "You guys stand aside." ”
Handing the lantern to Ah Xing for him to hold, Ye Yi walked to the altar, and there was a wine jar on the offering table under the statue of the patriarch, and a soul-calming talisman was attached to the mouth.
The talisman was lifted, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the wine jar.
A female ghost dressed in white fluttered around and showed her shape, the female ghost was beautiful, but she was as white as dark paper, and if you looked closely, it was the female ghost Li Xiaohong that Ye Yi caught that night when she returned to Jiuquan Town.
The female ghost was dressed in red when she was killed, and her resentment deepened into a powerful ghost, and she also killed a lot of people, and her temperament became fierce.
However, Ye Yinian was pitiful in her life, and the people she harmed were all people who killed her in her lifetime, which can be regarded as the rotation of cause and effect, so she did not make a ruthless move, but asked Ah Xing and Xiaoyue to read "" for her a hundred times to eliminate her resentment.
At the beginning, Ah Xing and Xiao Yue formed a cause and effect with her, and now chanting sutras for her to eliminate resentment and understand cause and effect, and at the same time, it is also a merit for the two of them.
Since the great changes in heaven and earth, the aura has declined, and cultivation has become increasingly difficult, but there is still a part of the Heavenly Dao system that has not changed, and that is merit.
Merit for those who cultivate immortals can protect themselves from disasters, and can also help them practice, Ye Yi was only a few hundred when he was in the ancestral court of Maoshan, but there were tens of thousands of disciples in Maoshan who were recorded.
Leaving behind more than ninety percent of the outer disciples, the reason why the inner disciples and even the true disciples who should have been practicing in the door like the ninth uncle left the Maoshan Ancestral Court and walked down the mountain was to accumulate merit and help their own cultivation.
"Thank you for chanting for me!" Li Xiaohong's eyes were clear, without the crazy resentment of the previous days, although the aura was still gloomy, but there was a touch of softness.
"No problem. Ye Yi shook his head, looked at her and said, "Although we have recited sutras to eliminate a resentful karma for you, you still have some sins in your body, and you still have some hardships to suffer after entering the Netherworld." ”
"The slave family knows, but it's better to thank a few Taoist masters, otherwise the slave family won't even have a chance to be reincarnated. Li Xiaohong had no fear and seemed very calm, "The slave family's own sins naturally have to be repaid." ”
"It's hard to see what you see. Ye Yi praised it, he also has a lot of sinners, but there are not many people like Li Xiaohong who accept that he needs to be punished in order to be reincarnated after going to the netherworld.
"Alright, it's almost time, it's time to hit the road. Ye Yi raised his hand to her and made a little weaker, and Li Xiaohong turned into a puff of green smoke and fell into the lantern in Ah Xing's hand.
A faint green flame ignited out of thin air in the white paper light basket.
Ye Yi swiped twice in the void, and a black word 'soul' appeared on the white paper of the lantern, and the flames that were originally a little vague and uncertain immediately became a lot stronger, and stabilized after shaking twice.
"Let's go. With that, he led the two of them out the door.
There were no more people on the street, and Ye Yi led them to the entrance of the town on the empty street.
Coming to the land temple at the entrance of the town, Ye Yi stopped.
"Senior brother, what should I do next?" Ah Xing asked curiously, it was the first time he had seen a ghost enter the underworld like this.
"Hang the lantern. Ye Yi pointed to the earthen wall outside the gate of the Land Temple.
Ah Xing answered and hung up the lantern, and Ye Yi found nine vermilion-colored incense sticks out of nowhere.
After lighting the incense with a wave of his hand, Ye Yi took the two of them to bow and said, "Labor and respect the gods!"
After that, he put the incense in the incense altar and said hello and left.
"Senior brother, is this okay?" Ah Xing asked with a puzzled look on his face after walking a few steps.
It's too simple, shouldn't you have to read a lot of scriptures and pray?
Next to her, Satsuki also kept nodding.
Ye Yi gave him a blank look, stopped and said, "You two look behind you." ”
Ah Xing and Xiao Yue looked behind them curiously and exclaimed, "Ahhh ”
"Senior brother, what's going on?" Xiao Yue asked, pulling Ye Yi's sleeve.
"In addition to ensuring the safety of one party, the land god has the responsibility of sending the yin soul into the yin division, and she has been sent down by the land god. ”
Ye Yi reluctantly explained, and said, "In the future, if you catch a ghost who is not a heinous crime, you can also learn from my plan today." ”
"Got it?"
"I know, senior brother!" Ah Xing and the two immediately responded.
Ye Yi led the two of them to continue walking back.
Since the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, heaven and earth began to change greatly, first the aura continued to decline, and then there were problems with the spiritual bridge of heaven and earth, and the connection between heaven and man gradually became difficult.
At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Court Immortal Buddha had occasional mortal life, but at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no immortal Buddhas who could descend into the world, and the result of forcibly landing in the world was to fall into the mortal world.
The mana is completely gone, the immortal bones are removed, and they fall into the catastrophe of birth, old age, sickness and death, and then re-enter the reincarnation, among hundreds of millions of mortals.
After the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Lingtai Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Court Immortal Buddha suddenly all disappeared, completely cut off contact, not only that, but even the ten halls of Yama and the bull head and horse face in the reincarnation of the underworld were also gone.
Today's reincarnation system and the Shinto system of the city god land in various places, in addition to the canonization of dynasties, there are also the major sects that have been newly established for hundreds of years.
After all, the major sects are the Taoist inheritance of the immortal Buddha left in the world before it disappeared, just like the Shangqing faction where Ye Yi is located, there are nine old immortal seals left in the sect, which can be recorded in the land of the city god, the history of yin gods and ghosts.
Let's just say that the land of Jiuquan Town was canonized by an ancestor of the Shangqing faction three hundred years ago.
The three of them returned to the door of the house, and just as they were about to enter, Ye Yi suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the church.
"It smells of blood, this smell?"
"You two go back to the house first, don't wake up Master, I have something to do. ”
Before the two of them could react, Ye Yi's figure faded, gradually dissipated, and reappeared dozens of meters away.
