"Since Daoist friends can't sleep, and Lao Qu can't sleep either, why don't Daoyou and Lao Qu go out of their bodies together tonight and explore the reality of Yinyi River Dragon King Terrace?"

Faced with the invitation issued by the abbot of the White Dragon Temple, Jin An'an was surprised.

"Why did the abbot think of going to Dragon King Terrace today?" Jin An asked.

Amitabha.

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple still folded his hands in front of his chest, shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "In the days when Lao Qu was framed and imprisoned in the dungeon by the same cannibalism, I didn't expect so many big things to happen in the city, just today, when Lao Qu was rescued from the dungeon, someone handed a letter to Lao Gu. ”

"That letter was sent to the White Dragon Temple yesterday by Lord Yin of the Prefecture, and when the civil unrest in the White Dragon Temple was pacified today, this letter was found in Hui Chang's house, and then handed over to the old man. ”

"The content of the letter is basically that Lord Fu Yin intends to gather capable people and masters from all walks of life in these two days to quell the scourge of the Dragon King case. ”

"So Lao Qu wanted to go to Longwangtai in person to explore the reality of the Yinyi River, so as to make some preparations in advance. ”

After the abbot of the White Dragon Temple finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Originally, the old man still had some concerns about this trip, and I am afraid that the road ahead will be a little dangerous when I go to Longwangtai this time." It's just that I didn't expect to meet Jin'an Daoyou outside the temple, which is really unexpected. ”

"Jin'an Daoyou's clever ability, naturally there is no doubt about it, if Jin'an Daoyou helps, tonight's big thing can be done, so Lao Gao wants to be cheeky and invite Jin'an Daoyou to go to Longwangtai with me. ”

"If you really talk about it, Lao Wei is also touching the light of Jin An Daoyou. ”

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple has a high appreciation for Jin'an.

Ahem, Jin An was praised by the abbot and his face was red, but fortunately, he was now in an out-of-body state, and the lack of capillaries on his face made him blush and look embarrassed.

However, Jin An was indeed a little moved by the proposal of the abbot of Bailong Temple.

It's just that when he thought of the waterway that Longwangtai was dozens of miles away from Fucheng, Jin An hesitated slightly.

Right now.

A primordial voice sounded in Jin An's head, and Jin An's face was surprised.

He bowed and thanked the golden Buddha statue, and then agreed to the invitation of the abbot of the White Dragon Temple.

Master Huizhen in the Buddha statue just now promised him that if Jin An could trust him and the White Dragon Temple, Jin An could entrust the safety of the Five Visceral Taoist Temple to him and the White Dragon Temple.

If he is Master Huizhen, then the Five Organs Taoist Temple is there.

For Master Huizhen and the abbot of Bailong Temple, Jin An is relieved and trusted, because all those who have evil intentions or plot against him dare not look him directly.

And the two of them in front of him treated him calmly and sincerely, which showed that the two of them were eminent monks.

Since he had Master Huizhen's promise, Jin An, who had long been curious about Longwangtai and Longwang Temple, immediately agreed to the invitation of the abbot of Bailong Temple.

Subsequently, a Taoist priest in a five-colored robe, and a monk in a robe, the Buddha Dharma, flew together under the dark night void to the Yinyi River Dragon King Terrace, dozens of miles away.

However, Jin An was a little curious.

Longwangtai is hundreds of miles away from the city, even if it is a straight-line distance of dozens of miles, after the abbot of the White Dragon Temple in front of him is out of his body, how did he swim out of such a long distance at night?

Because he has three sealed Liuding Liujia talismans, he has tried, and his current night tour limit is about 100 miles.

Soon.

Jin An got the answer.

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple in front of him is holding a Buddhist treasure, which is a string of Shakya Zen beads.

The string of Zen beads is particularly large, engraved with the Buddhist swastika.

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple folded his hands in front of his chest, while plucking the Zen beads, while reciting the Buddhist scriptures, he saw that the Buddha light was golden on the Zen beads, and he rode the wind and waves together, and swam out of the city at night ten zhang high from the ground.

"Abbot, can I?"

As soon as the spirit came out of the city, the river wind was howling, and the wind was fierce.

After nightfall, the sound of the waves of the Yinyi River is monstrous, and a large amount of yin and evil water vapor is wrapped in the sharp wind on the river, sweeping in all directions, which can hurt people's souls.

Fortunately, Jin'an and the abbot of Bailong Temple are not ordinary people, one is the abbot of the temple who is powerful in Buddhism, and the other is confident that he has twelve Shinto souls, so in the eyes of ordinary people, the river wind and damp cold water vapor that can fall people's souls are commonplace in the eyes of the two of them.

As long as you don't think about it, if you don't take the initiative to get under the water, and if you don't take the initiative to dip into the yin and evil water, you won't cause any substantial damage to the soul.

When out of the city, a monk's spirit floated along the river bank all the way to the direction of Longwangtai.

But at this time, they passed by the place where the bride's clothes were salvaged ashore in the daytime.

Jin An was surprised to see that at night, there was a young girl in a red wedding dress floating on the river.

"Could it be that there are upstream villages offering sacrifices to the Yinyi River to marry the water god Niangniang for the Dragon King?"

Jin An frowned in displeasure.

"Jin'an Daoyou, let's go over and take a look. ”

The abbot of Bailong Temple couldn't bear to pronounce the Buddha's horn and said to Jin'an.

Jin An nodded, and when the two got closer, they realized that this was not a corpse, but actually a soul, and the woman's soul floated motionless under the water, but she refused to leave.

Jin An was surprised.

"Abbot, why do I think that this woman's age and appearance are so similar to the water god Niangniang who was salvaged from the river by the head of the government yesterday?"

"Could it be that this soul belongs to the water god lady who was salvaged from the river yesterday?"

Water is not only the Yellow Spring Road, which can cross people down the Yellow Spring, but also the mysterious, which can trap the souls of the dead and prevent the dead from drowning or dying in vain from running ashore to make trouble.

Because people who drown in the water either commit suicide or die in vain, and death in vain is resentful, and suicide is also a battle of intrigue.

Therefore, the person who drowns in the water is more likely to run out and make trouble.

That's why Jin An guessed the above.

He guessed that it was because the soul couldn't catch up with the body, and after the body was salvaged ashore, the soul was still trapped in the water, so it kept lingering in place and refused to leave.

"Amitabha, Lao Qu has also heard some recent events in Fucheng today, but he has some impressions of the water god Niangniang who was salvaged ashore yesterday. ”

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple pondered for a moment and continued: "Why don't we take away the soul of this female donor for the time being today, and after confirming the provincial branch of the water god Niangniang tomorrow, if it is really the same person, we will return the body of the female benefactor." ”

"These three souls and seven spirits can't find the bones, just like duckweed without roots, a wanderer who has left home, and the final outcome will only be a lonely soul and a wild ghost, dead without eyes, with a breath of resentment in his throat. And with this resentment, people cannot be reincarnated, and they will never enter reincarnation in this life. ”

"This female benefactor is also a bitter person, trapped in a sea of suffering, but she can't help herself, she is also victimized, and she dies unwillingly, which is pitiful enough, there is no need to be a lonely ghost. Amitabha. ”

Jin An naturally has no opinion on the proposal of the abbot of the White Dragon Temple.

Then, I saw the abbot of the White Dragon Temple beside him, and took out a bronze bowl engraved with swastika from the wide cuffs of the robe.

"Amitabha. ”

"When is the time for retribution? ”

"Don't be obsessed, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. ”

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple squatted down on the bank of the river, dragging the cuffs of the robe with one hand, and holding the swastika copper bowl in his hand with the other hand, and gently scooped it against the river.

Something strange happened.

The swastika bronze bowl seems to be as big as the sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers, and it seems that the volume is not large, but it is gently scooped in the river water, and the river water and the soul are included in the swastika copper bowl together.

Jin An looked at the scene in front of him with a strange light.

In the swastika bronze bowl, the clear water is faint, reflecting the bright moon above the head. The swasshka bronze bowl is obviously only the size of two or three palms, but it can give people the feeling that the bright moon shines in the secluded ancient pool, giving people a trace of the ancient pond polished by the years, and the soul of the young woman floats quietly in the ancient pool.

It seems that the heritage of this White Dragon Temple is really rich.

Even Buddhist magic weapons can be brought out by the soul out of the body.

After taking away the souls of the dead in the water, the abbot of the White Dragon Temple put the swastika bronze bowl into the cuff of his robe, and it seemed that the monk did not seem to be worried that the water in the swastika copper bowl would spill over.

Then the two continued their night tour along the river.

At this time, the river bank was dark, silent as the gate of hell, the river surface was deep, pitch black, generally one or twenty zhang deep, and even the deepest part reached forty or fifty zhang water depth.

Therefore, the moonlight projected on the vast river surface was swallowed by the deep river water, and there was not even a little sparkling reflection of the water.

"According to the past, all kinds of ships on the Fucheng River Road come and go densely, prosperous, even after late at night, the river passenger ships, merchant ships are still in an endless stream, the wharf is even more lit like day, porters, ox carts are busy unloading all day long, it is really ......the same as a city that never sleeps."

"But look at the present, the ever-bright lights on the wharf are extinguished, the boats on the river are gone, the livelihood of the porters on the wharf has plummeted, and the wives and children are waiting for their husbands to make money to support their families. ”

The abbot of the White Dragon Temple said with great embarrassment.

After all, Jin An has only been in Fucheng for a few months, and Jin An may not be so deeply touched by the prosperity of Fucheng, but the abbot of Bailong Temple, who grew up in Fucheng since he was a child, is the most familiar with Fucheng and the person who has the most profound feelings about the changes in Fucheng today.

......

......

Yinyi River.

Big turn.

Dragon King Temple.

In the past few days of rain, the upstream river water has swelled, and the narrowest bend of the Yinyi River where the Dragon King Temple is located is located, the river water is monstrous, and the rushing river water roars like a dragon and tiger, which is deafening.

Every time the river collides with the cliffs on both sides, it sets off a ten-zhang high wind and waves.

The sky is falling apart.

Majestic.

Under the deep night, I can't see the color of the river at night, but if it is in the daytime, this angry wave river must be like a yellow turbid dragon that winds for thousands of miles, penetrating the sky and the earth, and the mountains and rivers are majestic.

It has been several days since the case of the Dragon King going ashore, and after the case of the Dragon King going ashore, the Dragon King Temple here at the big corner of the Yinyi River has already been completely controlled by the government.

The government posted a notice outside.

Roughly speaking, it means that in recent years, some people have used the case of the Dragon King to confuse the public and spread rumors, resulting in the people of Wuzhou Mansion who do not know the truth to be bewitched, and the number of people who come to the Dragon King Temple to offer incense is increasing day by day, which has caused several serious stampedes and riots. The Dragon King Temple was temporarily controlled by the government and temporarily closed to the public.

If there is a trespasser!

If there is a person who collides with the government to handle the case!

If there are rumor-mongers!

The light one will be punished with twenty rods, and the heavy one will be punished on the spot!

Today's Dragon King Temple has been strictly guarded by a circle of officials and soldiers, and ordinary people can't enter it without a letter from above.

Even at night, there are still many officers and soldiers patrolling outside the Dragon King Temple, and torches illuminate the Dragon King Temple.

It was raining in the sky.

The rain continued to fall, and even the officers and men on duty and patrol were a little upset.

Everyone just likes to listen quietly to the sound of rain when they are at home, and the raindrops tinkle on the mossy alleys and stone steps. No one likes to rain when they're out and about, because mud on the road and wet shoes can easily ruin the mood.

When the spirits of Jin An and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple floated to the Dragon King Temple, they saw the scene in front of them.

This is the first time Jin An has seen the Dragon King Temple, and it is also the first time he has visited the Dragon King Temple so closely, this Dragon King Temple is built on a protruding platform on the cliff wall.

The overall style of the Dragon King Temple is that a large hole was carved out of the cliff wall by the temple builders, and then the temple was built into the cliff cave, only the eaves and lintels were exposed.

And on the platform, there are four dragon pillars carved from white marble.

The four dragon pillars, each of which has two or three people hugging each other.

This is the dry bone pile that nailed the dragon king under the Yinyi River.

And the platform that protrudes from the cliff in front of you is the Dragon King Terrace.

At the top of the four dragon pillars, each has an iron chain as thick as a finger, and the iron chain hangs in the air and extends into the dragon king's temple.

At night in the Dragon King Temple, the river wind is howling, such as the countless souls who have been drowned by floods since ancient times in this river, and the ghosts trapped underwater cry wolves and howl to avenge their grievances.

Even if the candles in the Dragon King Temple are bright and a lot of candles are lit, it still gives people a sense of gloomy energy that flickers and flickers.

Perhaps this is the common problem of all temples in the world.

The temple is neither a Buddhist temple nor a Taoist temple, and it is easy to become a place to hide dirt and dirt and attract wild gods, so some smaller temples usually give people a sense of yin house.

The two spirits flew into the Dragon King Temple, but they were unhindered all the way.

One of them is a senior monk of the White Dragon Temple, adhering to the incense of a temple and the wish of all beings, and the other is the Shinto breath of the twelve righteous gods, this Dragon King Temple can only be regarded as a local temple, and there is no tablet of the righteous gods, so naturally the two gods and souls can not be stopped from entering and leaving freely.

After entering the Dragon King Temple, the furnishings inside are very simple, because the cliff wall is hard and the cliff cave is difficult to excavate, so there is only one big hall in the cliff cave, which can be seen at a glance.

The main hall is the size of two rooms, and as soon as the soul enters the main hall, the first thing you see is a huge dragon head facing the door of the main hall.

The dragon head is carved out of the cliff wall, the dragon head is the gray-white of the rock, carved vividly, the head horns are grand, the head is born of scale armor, the eyes are round and angry, and the world is angry.

As if it was about to break free from the cliff and tilt towards the world, it was nailed to the monstrous resentment under the Yinyi River, raining down majestic rain and flooding the sky.

On both sides of the huge stone-carved dragon head, on the left and right sides are a row of candle iron frames of the kind commonly found in temples.

Each row of iron racks was divided into several layers, and at the moment they were all lit with candles.

And on the dry ground of the Dragon King Temple, there was a female corpse, the female corpse was wearing a red wedding dress, she was young, and she should still be a young girl between fifteen or sixteen years old.

There were still a lot of water stains on the ground under the body of the big red wedding dress, and even the wedding dress on her body had not yet dried, and it looked like it had just been salvaged from the river.

"Abbot, isn't this another poor woman who was sacrificed to the Dragon King by the ignorant people to be the water goddess, praying for good weather and the Dragon King's anger?"

Jin An had an ugly look on his face.

This is a matter of human life.

Amitabha, the abbot of the White Dragon Temple sighed, there is one more deceased in this world, and there is one more innocent soul in the sea of suffering.

At this time, the night outside was getting darker, which made the officers and soldiers in charge of standing guard a little drowsy.

Whimpering –

At this moment, there was a lively sound of gongs and drums and suona, and the sound of suona was festive, like a welcoming team walking in the night.

And the sound is getting closer.

It actually came from the side of the Dragon King Temple.

Who doesn't marry during the day, but has to marry at night?

I am afraid that this marrying man is not a living person, but a dead person!

Jin An and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple looked at each other in surprise, and Jin An frowned: "Abbot, I have a conjecture. ”

The abbot of Bailong Temple also frowned at this time: "Amitabha, Lao Gao also has a conjecture, but I don't know if it is the same as your conjecture with Jin'an Daoyou." ”

"Why don't you say it first?"

Jin An was not hypocritical, and directly said his guess: "The Dragon King marries!"

"There are villagers along the coast who sacrifice young girls to make the water god Niangniang for the Dragon King, and now the corpse is salvaged from the river by the officers and soldiers, I am afraid that the Dragon King plans to come to the Dragon King Temple to forcibly marry!"

After listening to this, the abbot of Bailong Temple sang the Buddha's horn, and it turned out that Jin An was the same as he guessed.

Jin An's eyes sneered: "Today, I want to see what kind of way this dragon king is marrying, I will let it turn into a funeral today." ”

Amitabha, the abbot of the White Dragon Temple, sang the Buddha's name, indicating that he also agreed.

At this time, the whimpering suona marriage voice was closer, and it was strange to say that there was such a big movement outside, but none of the officers and soldiers on the night vigil noticed anything abnormal.

The officers and soldiers of the night watch did not even make a single movement.

At this time, the sound of gongs, drums, and suona of the marrying team has walked outside the door of the Dragon King Temple, and then the two of them were surprised, the welcoming team was unobstructed, and the officers and soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the temple did not stop at all, and the welcoming team entered the Dragon King Temple.

A large sedan chair was carried by the sedan chair driver and entered the Dragon King Temple.

In front of and behind the palanquin, followed by a large group of people beating gongs and drums, and at the front of the road were several faceless men.

There was a woman sitting in a large sedan chair.

Although the woman was covered with a red hijab and couldn't see her facial features clearly, she could see the details of her clothes, body shape, and patterns on her clothes, and the woman in the sedan chair was clearly the corpse of the woman in the red wedding dress on the ground of the Dragon King Temple.

This is the ghost of a woman who fell into the water!

After the welcoming team entered the Dragon King Temple, they did not see Jin An and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple, and they continued to walk towards the corpse of the woman on the ground.
