Chapter 3: Ten Thousand Ghosts Walk at Night
Many families in Yangcheng City will worship ancestral tablets, which is rare in first-tier cities, so Taoist priests in Yangcheng make more money than in other places. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Taoist priests who come out of this place to do things, some are outer disciples of the real Taoist sect, and many are fake Taoist priests. But the fake Taoist priest doing white things is nothing more than doing the same as not doing it, the soul of the deceased returns to heaven and earth and turns into qi, there is no harm; As long as they are not large-scale activities that have too much impact on the business of the Daomen, the Daomen will generally turn a blind eye.
After all, if you encounter something that needs to be solved with real skills, after the people of Daomen solve it, your reputation will naturally be higher than those fakes, and even those other businesses will also be booming. The business cards they left were all the fixed phone numbers of the office, and the office would naturally decide what level of Taoist priests to send according to the situation of the incident.
Recently, most of the Taoist priests in Yangcheng City are not very happy.
There is still a slight difference between the true Taoist priest and the false Taoist priest, and the difference is that they attach to the tablet to allow the soul of the deceased to rely on it, so that he can get enough incense from his family to maintain his consciousness within seven days.
Once you become an earth ghost, you have given up the opportunity to be reincarnated, because the earth ghost's dependence is incense, once the incense of the descendants is broken, then the earth ghost will become weaker and weaker, and finally return to the state of just leaving the body, returning to the aura of heaven and earth.
Among them, there are a few earth ghosts who have cultivated into ghosts and immortals, and it is something else.
The reason why the Taoist priest in Yangcheng City is not very happy is that the vitality associated with the ghosts that he left on the tablets in those customers' homes has a little abnormal feeling, and this abnormal feeling is very subtle, as if your stomach is uncomfortable, but this discomfort is not pain or hunger, it is difficult for you to describe what kind of discomfort it is.
It doesn't seem to affect you, but it exists.
A Taoist priest has this feeling, that's nothing, the key is that all Taoist priests who have taken over the white business have this feeling, then it is not an ordinary thing.
Someone did something to the ghosts of the whole city.
In this regard, the Daomen branch of the entire Quang Nam region is like a great enemy. You know, how terrible is it that someone, or maybe a demon or a monster, can command a group of ghosts?
This matter cannot be ignored, but firstly, there is no oil and water to fish, and secondly, this kind of thing that makes people's scalps tingle just thinking about it, ordinary outer disciples will not rush to send it to the door by themselves.
If it was usual, the inner disciples stationed in the branch should go out together to see what was going on, they were reluctant, but they had no choice. After all, they do less work than the outer disciples, and the visibility of their practices is not as high as that of the outer disciples, but they receive a higher salary than the outer disciples, so that they can take action when such a fatal thing happens.
However, now there is a mausoleum in the Daomen branch in the Guangnan region, and he has come to practice, and the dangerous things naturally meet the requirements of experience. In addition, Ling Mohan rarely socializes with people, and he is alone when solving things, and when such a strange thing happens, the inner disciples look at Ling Mohan is simply a golden statue.
"Ling Zhenren, this time the matter is strange, we don't dare to rush to the ......" After the senior management of the branch said the strange phenomenon, he expressed his willingness to ask you to take action very euphemistically.
"It's really weird." Ling Mo Han said, "I will solve this matter, as before, you need to prepare a map for me to navigate." ”
In fact, Ling Mohan is not a road idiot, but as an otaku who has a limited number of shots after going down the mountain, and most of the time he says that he is not good at talking about it and is practicing in his room, Ling Mohan has no chance to recognize the way. In addition, modern technology is very developed, so there is no need to give up the easy.
Daomen is advancing with the times and has developed the Sanqing map app, which is different from ordinary maps, and the directions on it are marked according to the sexagenary branches, and different types of plates can be called up when needed.
In addition, placed on a special handheld special Daomen computer, it can also display the Yin Qi Index, Yang Qi Index, Five Elements Harmony Rate and other values. This special computer with a variety of Daomen APPs is particularly popular among fake Taoists, and it brings a lot of external water to Daomen.
But to get back to the point, Ling Mohan came to Yangcheng City with his Daomen handheld computer, his magic weapons, talismans and swords, and found a hotel to live in.
Earth ghosts are also ghosts, and although they are harmless, they must also abide by the laws of ghost activities. When Lingmohan arrived in Yangcheng, it was broad daylight, and the sky was blue, so if you want to find the reason for the gathering of ghosts, it is not at this time.
As a figure who has become a core disciple at a young age, Ling Mohan is obviously not interested in leisure and entertainment, and after entering the hotel room, he first set up a formation in the room. This is also due to his habit, this formation is not an ordinary formation, but a famous killing formation. This array is called the Ten Fallen Killing Array, and you can know the power of this array from this head.
After arranging the Ten Meteors Killing Array, he laid out a defensive formation, which was to prevent him from being taken advantage of if he launched the Ten Meteors Killing Array.
After doing all this, he began to meditate and run the secret exercises of the Shangqing Gate, waiting for the night to come.
Yangcheng is located in Quang Nam and is famous for its city that never sleeps. The sultry weather in the south makes people in this city have the habit of walking in the shade at night and eating supper. The famous night market snack street is the most crowded time at two o'clock in the morning, so at eleven o'clock in the evening, that is, the middle of the night and the hour of the hour mentioned in the Daomen timer, Ling Mohan can still easily recruit a taxi while standing at the door of the hotel.
"Hit the meter, start here, go around the city, and then follow this road, to this place, and then go around here." Ling Mohan took out his Daomen handheld computer, clicked on the app to show the driver the map, the map marked with color on the route is preset, is a circle around the outer ring of Yangcheng, and then drive into the center of Yangcheng City around the old city, and avoid the route of the easy traffic jam area.
The taxi driver was a very familiar old fritter, and after glancing at the map, he started the car, and he had nothing to say:
"You're not a local, right, but you're very good at navigating, and you can customize the route, I drove so long before, some guests are afraid that our taxi will take a detour, and they will also take the map to navigate and see, you let me go around this should be to see the night view of our Yangcheng, right? Their navigation is not as advanced as yours, and you can't plan your own route, what is your map called? I'll also download one to play with when I go back. ”
After finishing speaking, he waited for a while, and found that Ling Mohan didn't pay attention to him, thinking that this guest was really weird, he had met a guest who didn't like to talk, but others would at least uh-huh, this guest was good, and he didn't even have a syllable.
However, the route chosen by this guest is not much traffic jam and the distance is long enough, and two red banknotes are indispensable for a trip, such a business is not every day, don't talk about it.
Thinking of this, the driver glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and found that he was looking at his PDA, and there seemed to be some small black dots on the map.
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and he drove like this for about an hour, when he suddenly heard the guest stop.
"Oh, it's two hundred and fifty-nine pieces." The driver pressed the meter, and the ticket gate began to spit out the invoice. Taking advantage of this vacancy, the driver glanced at the big lap computer in the palm style of the customer's hand like an apple, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, there was a black swirl-like thing on the computer map, and many small black dots were still moving in all directions towards the center of the whirlpool.
Ling Mohan took out 300 yuan and said "no need to look for it" and got out of the car, leaving the driver stunned in the car.
Judging from the Daomen map app, all the ghosts in Yangcheng City have gone out and are traveling not far ahead, and this scale is not a hundred ghosts walking at night. Now the city is so densely populated, although the proportion of people who worship the ancestral tablet has dropped significantly compared with the past, but because the total population is not the same as in the past, for example, the population of Yangcheng is 10 million. So even if only one in a thousand people worship the ancestral tablet, it is still a nocturnal journey of ten thousand ghosts.
Ling Mohan's eyes flashed sharply, he found an alley where no one was around, pinched a stealth duel, and Edgeworth flew towards the center of the whirlpool.
When I arrived at the place, I was stunned.
Such a large-scale night walk of ten thousand ghosts, in his imagination, it was either the birth of the ghost king, that is, there was something terrible in the yin and yang worlds, but he didn't expect that after he came to the center of the whirlpool, he found that these ghosts were just lining up in front of a powder stall.
The two "ghosts" who sell powder and those who burn powder are also very familiar, a man and a woman, wearing bright three-color clothes, and the man has a hat on his head, isn't this the city god of Yangcheng?
Ling Mohan did not eliminate the effect of stealth execution, because this effect was ineffective against ghosts, he walked over and stood in front of the powder stall, the cultivator's yang energy was already stronger than ordinary people, and the ghosts in front of the long line staggered, and the team was suddenly a little chaotic, a ghost with a missing eye and another gray-haired ghost scuffled together for the position problem, and the city god who cared about collecting money couldn't ignore Ling Mohan's existence now, he stopped collecting money, and chanted to Ling Mohan:
"I am a local ghost, and I am incense and become an immortal; Although he is not in a high position, the Taoist chief cannot chase it. ”
This means that he is a local city god, selling rice noodles in the underworld for ghosts to eat, and this mausoleum and cold can't control him.
Ling Mohan ignored him, turned sideways and took two steps to look at the soup pot of powdered soup.
Southerners like to eat rice noodles, about this food, when it originated, and under what circumstances it originated has been difficult to verify that it was invented by refugees, and some say that it was invented for the sake of soldiers' habits, but it was probably when the northerners moved to the south, because the south did not grow wheat, and the northerners were not used to eating rice, so the rice was ground into flour and steamed into a strip-shaped staple food to replace noodles.
Unlike those ghosts who have strong soul power, have not been assimilated by the qi of heaven and earth, and finally eat roadside incense and stay in the world, most of them still have memories before they were born, know who their blood relatives are, and enjoy the worship of blood relatives.
And these ghosts are all southerners, although southerners like to eat rice noodles, but the offering table to worship ancestors will not offer rice noodles. Roast pig, chicken, and fish are offerings. Of course, this is not to say that these three things are bad, but I eat these things every time, not to mention the ghosts, even the ghost fairy city god, and it is also greasy.
But just a bowl of noodles made these ghosts leave the tablet where they live and pour out of the nest, no matter how you look at it, it's unlikely, this thing is still weird.
If you want to know what this is all about, you probably have to leave your soul. After the soul leaves the body, it is no different from the ghost, and only some ghosts can eat and smell the smell, and the soul can also smell and eat after leaving the body.
But there are so many earth ghosts here in front of him, once his soul leaves his body, he may be taken away by other earth ghosts or even city gods at any time.
Chenghuang said that he is a "ghost fairy", but the essence is still a ghost, but he has absorbed the wish of a place and enjoys the worship of the locals, so he is much stronger than ordinary ghosts, and even has some abilities that ordinary ghosts do not have, such as touching and moving objects.
It seems that the only way to act is to leave the physical body in the hotel tomorrow and contact the outer disciples stationed in the city to protect the Dharma for themselves.
Thinking like this, Ling Mohan was about to turn around and leave, but found a detail that he hadn't noticed before.
After some of the ghosts came here, they didn't line up to eat noodles, but floated to the right of the noodles stall.
Ling Mohan's heart moved, and he followed this group of ghosts.
