Chapter 7: The Old Demon of Black Mountain!

Chen Xiang stopped his movements and slowly sat cross-legged in the center of the altar. With Chen Xiang's movements, those small firemen who had been overtaken also sat down cross-legged, and then began to chant the verses in the Bright Bible together, and suddenly a holy and great aura rose from the altar, slowly spreading, and finally covered the entire Lanruo Temple, driving away the cold and terrifying atmosphere before the Lanruo Temple. At the same time, through this ceremony, the current Lanruo Temple team was completely kneaded together, and there was a prototype of a team for the time being, and Yan Chixia gradually returned to her heart and became a member of Lanruo Temple.

Only now does Chen Xiang have the confidence to receive pilgrims normally, and not to be unbearable, and the pilgrims are hurt by unjust souls.

Then these little golden fire people and their golden pills also flew around, throwing themselves into every corner of Lanruo Temple, some into the pond, falling into the fish, some falling into the plants and flowers, in short, all entered the living organism, which can be regarded as rubbing into the reincarnation again, and re-integrating these souls that have been excluded from reincarnation into the reincarnation, which can be regarded as the completion of merit.

Moreover, with the input of more than 400 souls, these grass, wood, fish, and beasts in the entire Lanruo Temple have even more powerful souls, and it can even be said that they have directly opened their spiritual wisdom, and they can immediately cultivate! There is no need to wait for hundreds of years, waiting for these plants, trees, fish and beasts to evolve, it only takes a short year or two for Chen Xiang to have a team of believers composed of monsters!

Chen Xiang didn't waste any time, he linked these more than four hundred souls with Bright Sky Rose, instilled the first weight of the Bright Divine Skill into their minds, and began to take them to cultivate together. At the same time, he always kept an eye on their cultivation progress, once anyone had cultivated the first level of the Bright Divine Skill, Chen Xiang would transmit the second level of the Bright Divine Skill to him in time. In this way, there is no need to instill too much at once, and it will not hurt these souls who are still very fragile.

Suddenly, with the hard work of these more than 400 souls. The sky above the entire Lanruo Temple is full of golden brilliance, grand and solemn, and Jinhua City dozens of miles away can be seen! It also caused people around to talk about it.

After completing this work, Chen Xiang sighed with satisfaction, Lanruo Temple has changed from a ghost temple to a main temple, so it is logical to whitewash his identity next, and at that time, the Cihang Pudu True Scripture can bring Chen Xiang a snowball-like effect, so that he can quickly improve his strength and reach the peak of the Golden Immortal as soon as possible!

After the end of the day. Hei Tiezhu asked with some anxiety: "Host...... There's still a small half of the incense candle paper money left here, you see, what to do? ”

Chen Xiang squinted his eyes and said: "Let's put it first, if these incense candles and paper money are not burned sincerely, they will only burn garbage, and on the first day of this month, we will hold a temple fair and invite these nearby villagers to participate." At that time, it was given to them to burn for free, and as long as they offered it to the Arhats of Light with sincerity, our gods would be able to receive real incense offerings. ”

Hei Tiezhu silently agreed, and began to pack up the incense, candles, and paper money with the three scholars. After a while, he was stunned and asked, "Host, is our Bright Arhat Divine Sect a branch of the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Chen Xiang asked suspiciously, "White Lotus Sect? What is that? ”

Yan Chixia was puzzled when she saw Chen Xiang. He also spoke: "At first, I also suspected that this sect was a branch of the White Lotus Sect, but I didn't expect that the host didn't know about the White Lotus Sect. Let me give you a brief introduction. The White Lotus religion has its origins in the Pure Land sect of Buddhism. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Pure Land Buddha Association was prevalent. It is mostly called the White Lotus Society or the Lotus Society, and the presiding officers are both monks and lay believers. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mao Ziyuan (legal name Cizhao), a monk from Kunshan in Wu County, founded a new sect on the basis of the popular Pure Land Association, called the White Lotus Sect, that is, the White Lotus Sect. The early White Lotus Sect was officially banned, and Mao Ziyuan was exiled to Jiangzhou. However, it was spread because of the simplicity of the teachings and the simplicity of the practice. By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, although it was still regarded as a "demonic evil party" by some local governments and Buddhist monks who regarded themselves as orthodox, it had been spread everywhere, and even spread to the north under Mongol rule. After the unification of China by the Yuan Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was recognized and rewarded by the imperial court and entered its heyday. Lushan Donglin Temple and Dianshan Lake White Lotus Hall were the two centers of the White Lotus Sect in the Yuan Dynasty.

The White Lotus Sect has formed a large number of professional believers with families, called the White Lotus Taoists. Because he is "a monk at home", he does not shave his hair and does not wear monk's clothes, and he is also known as a Taoist or a monk with hair. In the Yuan Dynasty, the hall nunnery composed of the white lotus Taoist people spread all over the north and south, and there were thousands of disciples who gathered in the hundreds, and there were dozens of few, and the scale could be compared with the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple. The temple enshrines Buddha statues such as Amitabha, Kannon, and Dashi Zhi (collectively known as the Three Saints of Amitabha), praying for royal blessings and longevity, hosting Buddhist events for local communities, and also doing some good deeds such as building roads and bridges. Many of the temples own land assets, and the presiding officers often succeed from father to son, and the property of the hermitage is actually the family property of the presiding officer. Some leaders colluded with the government, befriended the powerful, and became a local tyrant.

Later, the White Lotus Sect continued to evolve, and there were many folk religions, including Jinchan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Mixed Yuan, Wenxiang, Luo Dao, etc. They do not belong to each other, their doctrines are quite different, and their organizations, rituals, and activities are different, but they bear the imprint of the White Lotus Sect to a greater or lesser extent. The rulers believed that they were still in fact the White Lotus Cult, and they were also loosely referred to as the White Lotus Cult in the rivers and lakes.

Due to the large number of factions, the gods worshiped are extremely complex, including the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, the Hades of Hell, the sages of the world, and so on; And the most revered is still Maitreya Buddha. Later, there was a worship of the childless mother, and there was the so-called eight-character mantra of "vacuum hometown, childless mother". It is said that the lifeless old mother is an ancient Buddha who has no birth and no death in heaven, and she wants to return her earthly children to the heavenly realm to avoid calamity, and this heavenly realm is the vacuum home. Each sect has its own scriptures, called treasure scrolls, which are often preached to believers. The content is huge, but we can also see the influence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism on the White Lotus Sect.

That is to say, the White Lotus Sect can be presided over by a layman who is not a monk, and the sect is mostly based on the theory of equality, and it is mainly spread among the poor people. It's just that the rituals and concepts of Lanruo Temple are very different from those of the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, I do not dare to make rash conclusions. ”

After listening to Yan Chixia's explanation, Chen Xiang also felt that his newly established sect had a great similarity with the White Lotus Sect, and couldn't help but think about it, and asked, "What is the strength of the White Lotus Sect now?" ”

Yan Chixia shook her head and said: "Xu Hongchang, the leader of the White Lotus Sect of the previous dynasty, led the rebellion in the Qilu generation with the White Lotus, and occupied 28 counties in Sanzhou when the power was at its greatest, with more than 200,000 people, but in the end it was suppressed, Xu Hongchang himself died and the clan was wiped out, and the treasure of the town sect, the White Lotus, was also missing. Other sect members also wandered around, lurking underground, many White Lotus sect members began to live an ordinary life and returned to the normal life of religion, and some extremists could not bear to fail, and tried to make a comeback at any time, in order to achieve their goals by unscrupulous means, many people also became evil cultivators. Acting radically is despised by the right way. There are even a lot of grievances and grievances with each other. …… It was in the Jingnan generation that my master met the remnants of the White Lotus Sect who had become an evil cultivator and was killed. ”

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yan Chixia to have such a past, but he still asked the question he was most concerned about: "Then where did the white lotus held by Xu Hongchang end up?" ”

Yan Chixia glanced at Chen Xiang, calmed down, and said, "It is said that it is still in the hands of a certain White Lotus Sect Sect. The authentic style of this White Lotus Sect is very low-key, and it has never participated in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, so it is not known what happened in the end. ”

After listening to the past of the White Lotus Sect. Chen Xiang also nodded, it turned out that this White Lotus Sect still had such a past, but he was lonely and unheard. Kou Zhong shouted, "Heaven and earth are unkind. With all things as dogs, if the emperor Lao'er brutalizes the people, there should also be chivalrous people to eliminate the evil and rescue those oppressed people! The people of the White Lotus Sect did nothing wrong, but they were wrong and lost the war in the end! Xu Ziling retorted: "As long as it is a war, there will be bloodshed and sacrifices, if you can change the situation in a peaceful way, it is better not to use violent means." Wan Wan sneered and said: "If things in this world could be changed in a peaceful way, the world would have become a paradise a long time ago, how could there be so many injustices?" How can there be those of us martial arts people who fight the sword world? Disputes between people can never be resolved peacefully, Xu Ziling, you are too naΓ―ve. Shi Fei Xuan said: "Naturally, you can't say sunshine in the middle of the night, and you can't say summer flowers in winter, but in the long run, light will always come, and summer flowers will always bloom. ”

Saying that, everyone actually began to argue, Chen Xiang laughed, and said: "Whether it is violence or peace, it is a means, and the ultimate goal is just to achieve the ideal state of existence and promote your own values to everyone." Whether it is war or peace, it is a state of human life, just an intensity, a relaxation. In fact, many wars are ultimately caused after peaceful means have failed. Saying that, Chen Xiang's tone couldn't help but turn heavy: "Thinking of our people, they are the people who are the best at patience in the world, as long as they can survive, they will not rise up, and they will not use the means of rebellion." If the people are forced to this position, it is enough to show that peaceful means will not work at all, and those emperors and generals should also reflect on themselves. ”

After being quiet, he noticed that almost everyone was looking at him, especially a few natives such as Yan Chixia, Hei Tiezhu and Ning Caichen, who were even more scorching at him, as if his words were all in their hearts. Among them, the black iron pillar has been living at the bottom of society, with no way out, no land, no culture, no skills, only being a hooligan to survive. After listening to Chen Xiang's words, they even squatted on the ground, and choked up, as if they were deeply touched.

Ning Caichen and the other three scholars also lived at the bottom of society, so they naturally knew the suffering of the people at the bottom, and couldn't help but sigh. Yan Chixia was also a scholar back then, it was precisely because she was not used to seeing the corruption of officialdom and was discouraged by her career that she worshiped under the swordsman's door, and since then she has walked the rivers and lakes, and after listening to Chen Xiang's words, she was also touched, and nodded silently.

Chen Xiang continued: "Although we are not a White Lotus Sect, we also pay more attention to the people at the bottom, and it is also our obligation and responsibility to unite the masses and find a way for the poor people to live. When necessary. It is also reasonable to use some thunderbolts, but it is important to remember that you must not abuse violence indiscriminately, and you should not only think about solving problems with violence when you encounter them, which will not solve the problem at the root of the problem. ”

When everyone heard this, they all knelt on the ground and made a promise to Chen Xiang, and since then they have also laid the basic route of Lanruo Temple and become a small sect that has integrated into the local area. Then. Chen Xiang sent Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Hei Tiezhu and others out to publicize to the surrounding people that there would be a temple fair in Lanruo Temple on the first day of the first lunar month, and there would be many household necessities, and there would be many rare treasures, as well as many glass products, everyone was welcome to go.

Wan Wan and Shi Fei Xuan also went to Jinhua City, spent a lot of money to invite two troupes, and agreed to come to perform in front of Lanruo Temple on the first day of junior high school. And among the dock workers and textile workers, the news of the temple fair of Lanruo Temple also spread.

After all the people had left. Yan Chixia found Chen Xiang alone, and asked with some doubts: "Host...... There's one thing I've always wanted to ask you. I have always heard that the demons and monsters in Lanruo Temple are the old demons of the ghost king Black Mountain who are sheltered here, so I have been paying attention to it in my heart, and I have been here for nearly half a year. But he didn't observe the slightest collusion between Lanruo Temple and the old demon of Montenegro, so he was also a little relieved in his heart, and at the same time he was a little uneasy in his heart. The fifteenth day of next month is the Midyear Festival, and the ghost door will be wide open. It's also the time for the old demon of Montenegro to come out to patrol, and if you don't prepare, I'm afraid you'll encounter a very troublesome danger. ”

Mention of the old demon of Montenegro. Chen Xiang was also shocked in his heart, according to his understanding of this Lanruo Temple, the so-called demons and monsters of Lanruo Temple colluding with the old demons of Montenegro must be true! It's just that I came through and didn't know it! I couldn't help asking, "What is the strength of this old demon of Montenegro?" ”

Yan Chixia saw Chen Xiang's heavy face, and her heart was also tight, and said: "The old demon of Montenegro was originally a mandrill in the mountains, the previous dynasty collapsed, and when the dynasty was changed, he took the opportunity to collect unjust souls, snatched souls everywhere, accumulated 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals, and became a force in the underworld. The demons and monsters of this generation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are basically controlled by him. The strength of the individual is comparable to that of the earth immortals. ”

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Earth Immortal Level?" ”

Yan Chixia saw that Chen Xiang didn't understand, and knew that this host was not very familiar with the world's power system, so she took the initiative to explain: "Ordinary monks are divided into Qi Lian, Foundation Building, Jindan, Yuanying, Merge, and Dacheng. After Dacheng, you can survive the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the Heavenly Realm, if you have no way to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to the Heavenly Realm, but you can survive, you are called Earth Immortals. The existence of the earth immortal level is already the most powerful level in our world, not to mention that there are 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals under him, and his power is outstanding, and he is the strongest ghost general of this generation. Therefore, although this old demon of the Black Mountain is an evil demon, the righteous path is powerless against him. ”

Chen Xiang himself has already reached the Jindan in his body, or his soul has reached the Yuanying realm, and he has not reached the combination and Dacheng, so the powerful existence of the Earth Immortal is naturally impossible to fight at all! Moreover, Chen Xiang can feel that it seems that only when his physical body also reaches the realm of Yuan Infant will his overall realm be further improved! In other words, it is impossible for him to quickly improve his level! But the other party is indeed three realms higher than the enemy, and there are still 100,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals under his hands! How could Chen Xiang deal with such a powerful and disparity in strength?

Chen Xiang's face suddenly became ugly, and when she saw Chen Xiang's face, Yan Chixia suddenly burst out laughing! He laughed and said, "I always thought that you were fearless and could do anything!" I didn't expect you to have a time when your face turned blue!! Ahahahaha! It's ridiculous!! Chen Xiang patted Yan Chixia angrily and said, "What's so funny?!" The old demon of Montenegro is too powerful, we can't kill him at all! If you are not careful, this hard-won foundation will be destroyed! As he was talking, Chen Xiang's face turned better again, and said: "You can still laugh out loud, there must be some way to fight against that powerful ghost general, let's talk about it, what method do you have?" ”

Yan Chixia shrugged her eyebrows, pursed the corners of her lips, and said, "What else can I do?" If you want to fight against such a powerful enemy, there can only be three ways, one is to invite more powerful righteous knights to come to help, the second is to lay out a formation that can use the power of heaven and earth, and the third is to obtain a powerful magic weapon that is enough to level the strength gap between the two sides, or directly target the other party. The first way, I can help on my behalf, but I'm afraid I can't invite too many strong hands, at most it's a master at the Yuanying level, and I'm afraid I can't do it if I want to fight against the old demon of Montenegro, and the second and third methods, I can't do anything. ”

Chen Xiang frowned tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Very good, it's good if you have a way." It seems that you are still relatively famous in the rivers and lakes? Tell me about the sects and forces in this world. Yan Chixia nodded and said, "Now the righteous path can basically be said to be three mountains, five mountains and eighteen gates, and the three mountains are Emei Mountain, Wudang Mountain and Taihang Mountain. The five mountains are Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Song and Mount Heng, and the eighteen gates are Taiji Gate, Laojun Gate, Tianshi Gate, Pure Land Sect, Tiantai Sect, Jinshan Temple, etc. In fact, the one who really leads the right way in the world is Mount Emei. And my master is an outer disciple from Xiyue Huashan. If you want to say that the most powerful monk in the vicinity, I am afraid that it is the Fahai monk of Jinshan Temple. The evil cultivation sect is the five sects and four emperors, respectively referring to the Ghost King Sect, the Gu Poison Sect, the Blood Demon Sect, the Ruthless Sect and the Tantric Sect, and the four emperors are the Ghost Emperor Beibei Ghost King, the Demon Emperor Hydra Xiang Liu, the Gu Poison Emperor Green Robe Ancestor, and the Wuxiang Emperor Heavenly Bitter Old Man. These four ghost emperors have all reached the level of the Nine Tribulations Earth Immortals, even Tianwei can't help them anymore, they are too powerful, it's just that they haven't been born much during this time, even if one or two of their disciples and grandchildren come out, it is enough for the entire rivers and lakes to be uncomfortable, not to mention their deities. Any one of them could cause destruction and turmoil in the entire world! ”

Chen Xiang asked curiously, "Emei faction?" Who is in charge this year? What is the magic weapon of the town faction? And the Heavenly Master Gate, why did it degenerate to the extent that it was counted with other small gates? ”

Yan Chixia continued: "The Emei faction was founded by the old Taoist of Changmei in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and now the head of the sect is Qi Xiaoyao, and I am in the realm of Dacheng, just waiting to ascend, there are seven disciples under the door, each of whom has reached the level of Jindan, and it is a magic weapon with deep luck and a body." The magic weapon of the town faction is the Liangyi Dust Array, as well as the purple and green twin swords, all of which are super magic weapons that can casually cross the level and kill people. As for the Heavenly Master Sect, I don't know why the people are weak, and the contemporary Heavenly Master Zhang is naturally dull, the treasures in the family are not cultivated, and he is rigid and self-serving, and has fallen into a third-rate sect, if it weren't for his Heavenly Master Sect still has a background in the fairy world, I don't know when it will be destroyed early. You must know that although the evil cultivators have bad methods, they also want to cultivate and ascend, and if they can not be offended, they naturally refuse to offend. However, the magic weapons and formations of the Heavenly Master Sect are also second only to the Emei faction, among which the actual strength of the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal and a pair of evil slashing male and female swords may be surpassed, but the user is too fleshy to exert his actual strength. There is also the Demon Suppression Hall of the Heavenly Master Gate is also very famous, which suppresses three hundred and sixty-five stars and powerful demons in the past dynasties, which is also very famous. ”

Chen Xiang nodded, he was a person from another world, and he didn't have any respect for Zhang Tianshi, and he didn't necessarily have to deal with him in the future, so he had a certain idea about Tianshimen. But Chen Xiang didn't think about this Yangping Zhidu Gongyin and a pair of evil swords, what he wanted was the full set of formations of the Demon Suppression Hall and the three hundred and sixty-five stars suppressed in it and the powerful demons of the past dynasties. (To be continued......)
