Chapter 742: Tears Rained Down
"Lin Qing, what's wrong with you? Lin Qing?"
"Xu Lifeng, don't scare me?"
"Fun, fun?"
Along with the commotion in the crowd caused by the men rushing out, there was the shouting of others.
Some people who are okay also feel a chill in their hearts when they are in it and watch what is happening.
Especially the people around those who rushed out, they felt a chill in their backs.
However, there were still some people in the audience who remained calm and were not affected in the slightest, and their eyes looked at Su Wen on the podium with some expectation.
Almost all of these people were good believers who had participated in the Obon festival last year.
He Baichuan, Li Yaozu, and even Liu Zaishan were among them, and many people with names and surnames in the East China Sea were present, and they set their eyes on Su Wen.
Qi Xiao found that as these people rushed out, some of the revenants in the air also began to stir, and several more revenants threw themselves into the bodies below.
On the other hand, there are still revenant souls appearing in the hollow in the air, and there are thousands of revenants floating in the air at this time with large stomachs and distorted faces. If these are like the ones just now, there must be a big mess on the scene.
A revenant spirit flew to the head of a person next to him, and then directly drilled into his body, this action made Qi Xiao a little nervous, and hurriedly dodged to the side.
"ONG"
Suddenly, a voice came to everyone's ears. Ordinary people just hear this voice and don't feel anything.
But Qi Xiao saw the revenant spirit that had just burrowed into the body of the person next to him suddenly fly out upside down and return to the air, looking ahead with a frightened expression.
The sound just now was made by Su Wen.
"Poof!" Poof!" There were several sounds, and the few people who rushed out just now all fell to the ground, and all the souls on their bodies flew upside down, looking in the direction of the pulpit with a frightened face, like the souls in the air.
Qi Xiao quickly helped the person who almost collapsed next to him, and it took a long time for the man to recover.
Su Wen stood there looking ahead, his hands folded: "Amitabha!"
The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the audience. After hearing the name of this Buddha, a trace of clarity also appeared in the eyes of all the deceased souls.
Years, decades of torment in hell have caused many to lose their minds, and it was not until they heard this Buddha horn that the desire in their minds was temporarily suppressed and some of their original memories were retrieved.
The people who have just been taken by them are their descendants.
Bloodline.
It is because these descendants have given their names to this Obon festival that they have this opportunity to come out.
Qi Xiao watched as the souls in the sky above regained their composure, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Holding the man in one hand, he turned his head to look over, and the person behind him was pale, and it seemed that he had been scared just now.
Watching the souls of the dead come out of the hole, there were five thousand people in the field, and at least two or three thousand souls were floating in the air, Qi Xiao looked at these souls corresponding to a certain person, and even several souls were only turning around on one person's head, and he also had some guesses in his heart, could it be that these were the ancestors of these people?
Thinking of the yellow paper with names written on them handed in by many people before this puja in the Pure Heart Temple, Qi Xiao felt even more like this in his heart.
This is the purpose of Obon, to reduce the karma of those people's ancestors. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why those dead souls are blocked out of the void, and these dead souls can come in and find someone.
Qi Xiao remembered that Su Wen had asked him for three drops of blood and that sentence before, and he must have a chance to meet his parents.
But why haven't they shown up yet?
Qi Xiao raised his head, carefully looking at each of the souls floating out of the void, and each one floating towards him made him look at it with hope, followed by disappointment.
"Where are your parents?" Qi Xiao watched the speed at which the ghosts appeared slower and slower, and almost all the air was filled with the ghosts, and his heart became more and more anxious.
At this moment, Qi Xiao saw a numb and distorted figure flying in this direction. He had seen it many times with hope just now, and he had been disappointed many times, but he still looked at it with hope, and the face he saw this time was no longer unfamiliar, but a familiar face.
Just looking at the numbness and distortion on that face, Qi Xiao opened his mouth, couldn't say a word, and tears came out like a spring.
When the figure reached the top of Qi Xiao's head, a pair of numb eyes finally regained a little agility, looking at the faces below that had become more mature, and the expressions on their faces were also a little richer.
A look of memory flashed in his eyes, and then he stared closely at Qi Xiao below, his eyes showing excitement.
"Dad...... Dad, Dad" Qi Xiao said softly, tears like rain.
……
After all, there are still very few people who can see like Qi Xiao, and most people only feel that the temperature around them drops rapidly, which makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
But I always felt as if something was important to me that had happened.
The strange feeling of being connected by blood made them not know what was going on, and they frequently looked around.
Su Wen was above, and when he saw that there were no more hungry ghosts in the air, he shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"
The cause of today is the fruit of the future.
Do it yourself, take it yourself.
It is not without cause today, and right and wrong are not without effect. ”
What Su Wen said, everyone below knew it, but most people didn't know why Su Wen said such things.
Only a few people speculated that Su Wen's words were both a warning to them and to those "people" who had the opportunity to come here.
It is an admonition, but also an exclamation.
After Su Wen said this, he grabbed the rice in front of him and threw it into the air.
As if receiving a signal, those hungry ghosts in the air suddenly rushed towards the vicinity of the pulpit, opened their mouths wide, and wisps of breath that could not be seen by ordinary people fell from those grains of rice into the mouths of hungry ghosts.
Each hungry ghost had an expression of greed, lust, and joy on his face.
Rice, dough, fruits, everything was thrown out by Suwen.
In the air, these hungry ghosts in the hell are hard to eat, and they are finally able to drink and enjoy this hard-won meal.
"Next, all of you will recite the Jizo Sutra with me, to remove the karma of all the devotees present and absent who are still in the path of hungry ghosts, and may they be free from the sea of suffering as soon as possible. ”
After Su Wen finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the pulpit.
It's just that everyone below is rubbing shoulders, and there is no place for them to sit for a long time, so they have to stand one by one.
"The supreme and profound subtle Dharma, hundreds of thousands of calamities have been encountered, I have seen and heard it today, and I am willing to understand the true righteousness ...... it."
With the opening of the Sutra, everyone began to recite it.
Everyone put their hearts and minds into it, except for one person, Qi Xiao, who was there all the time looking at his father, and his mouth was open. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
"I failed to avenge you. Qi Xiao opened his mouth and finally said a word.
"You're so good, it's really good, it's me who is sorry for you, I can't blame anyone else for my affairs, it's my own choice. Now that I see you, I'm relieved......"
Such a familiar voice sounded in his ears, making Qi Xiao's tears fall again.
