Chapter 168: Slave
"Going in the shade?"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest glanced at each other.
Unexpectedly, the senior monks of Bailong Temple actually came to the door for this purpose.
After being surprised, Jin An shook his head and apologized to Master Shanneng and said that he and the old Taoist priest would not go to the yin.
After listening to Jin An's answer, Master Shanneng just looked at Jin An and smiled without saying a word.
Jin An instantly understood.
The gaze was slightly surprised.
The monk in front of him is really worthy of being a senior monk from the White Dragon Temple, and he actually knows how to walk in the yin.
But Jin An didn't give an answer immediately, but asked Master Shanneng in confusion, why did he look for them?
The good mage did not hide it, and bluntly said that when he went to the yin, the body was in the yang world, and the soul went down to the underworld, and the body at that time was equivalent to an empty shell in the yang world, facing danger, without protection and resistance.
If there is an enemy or a real murderer at that time, and suddenly kills and destroys the body, then the soul will not be able to return to the yang world for the rest of his life.
So Master Shanneng found Jin An and the old Taoist, as well as the He family.
If Jin An and the old Taoist priest are unwilling to accompany him to the underworld, then he also wants to ask Jin An and the old Taoist priest to protect his body for him.
so that his body will not be plagued and destroyed.
Master Shanneng's words are not false at all, and now in Lingqian Township, there is no one who has the most strict protection than the He family's ancestral house.
Just the dozen or so descendants of the guards brought by the eldest lady, who can not only fight in close combat, but also can bend the bow and pass through Yang in a hundred steps, and there are dozens of people in the He family's courtyard.
These nursing homes are well trained.
That's enough to be compared to a local army.
And why Master Shanneng chose to go to the Yin in Lingqian Township, instead of choosing to go back to the White Dragon Temple, where the masters of the Luohan Hall of the Vinaya Academy gathered, and then go to the Yin again, was because Master Shanneng was worried about the long nights and dreams.
I am worried that the longer the delay on the road, the more the truth will be erased.
Master Shanneng also just arrived in Lingqian Township this morning, and he is going to go to the yin at night, so he really doesn't delay for a moment, and he cares about the common people. Since Master Shanneng is willing to make such a sacrifice, Jin An naturally will not refuse, how to say that he is also half a Taoist disciple now, and if he walks the rivers and lakes, he can't discredit the Taoist disciple and drag him back.
This is called exposure to cause and effect.
"Okay, I'd like to accompany Master Shanneng on a trip to the underworld. ”
"Old Dao, you and the sword are responsible for protecting my and the flesh of Master Shanneng, so that we will not be stolen by the big rat or the wild cat, and we will not be able to return the sun before dawn. ”
"I know that Lao Dao also wants to go down with the underworld, but no one takes care of the sword, I am worried that my body will be hollowed out by Mrs. Mouse, Zongzi, and Wong Tai Sin, and he can sit still all the time. ”
The old Taoist priest who also wanted to go to the underworld was amused by Jin An's words.
"Little brother, what is Mrs. Mouse?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An curiously.
Jin An thought for a while, and said seriously: "A big zongzi that can't be eaten?"
......
Speaking of which.
The first time Jin An walked into the yin, he still lay in the coffin and went down to the underworld with Mr. Yin and Yang.
But that time to go to the underworld, it is definitely not a normal living person's method of going to the underworld.
That time, he was almost entangled by an invisible dead child, and it can be said that there were many dangers along the way, and he almost survived.
So Jin An is very curious, what will be the scene if he is a normal person?
And this is one of the reasons why he agreed to accompany Master Shanneng on his journey to the yin.
Seeing that Jin An agreed to go to the yin together, after Master Shanneng sang a Buddha horn, he began to arrange to go to the yin.
First, bring in a pregnant woman and dig up the remains of the fetus.
At the beginning, it was not easy to find candidates, and the people of Kangding paid attention to entering the soil for peace, how could there be a reason to dig a grave after burial, and no one would be willing to do it.
Fortunately, at this time, some family members came forward.
Old Man He ordered someone to find an honest couple, with dark skin and dressed in linen, who looked like a hard life facing the loess with their backs to the sky every day.
The couple was a tenant of the He family, and they were cleanly cleaned up, and they were not like the old society with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they couldn't eat enough all year round.
This also reflects that the He family has a good reputation in the local area and is not harsh on these tenants.
It's just that the couple has an unconcealed sadness in them.
Not long ago, their unborn child was born and died prematurely, and the couple was heartbroken.
When the He family came forward and personally told the reason, saying that the real murderer who really killed so many babies in Lingqian Township may still be at large, today there are senior monks and Taoist leaders who want to use the corpse of the premature baby to help the mother who has worked hard to conceive for several months, open the altar, find the real culprit, and avenge the people of Lingqian Township for so many innocent babies who died early.
As soon as she heard that her premature child was mentioned again, and that her sadness was brought up again, the mother immediately wept with grief, and the husband sighed and comforted his wife.
Under the guidance of the He family, the couple finally agreed to help go to the yin, and also agreed to the He family to re-excavate the bones of the unborn child who had been buried.
When the He family offered compensation, the couple refused, saying that although they came from a poor background, they knew how to be a man with conscience and gratitude.
Everyone is also trying to find out the real culprit for their children, how can they still be greedy for money with a conscience.
"Amitabha. ”
"After this incident, the poor monks and the two Taoist elders will personally recite the Sutra for three days and three nights for all the children killed in Lingqian Township, hoping that they will be reincarnated in the next life and see their parents again. ”
Venerable Shanneng sang the Buddha's horn and said with great compassion.
"Supreme Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun. Jin An and the old Taoist priest nodded in agreement with Master Shanneng's statement.
In fact.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest are very clear in their hearts.
The three souls and six spirits of those fetuses that died early were all eaten by the ghost fetus, in fact, they were already scattered, completely annihilated and dissipated from this heaven and earth.
Although the monks do not speak, sometimes white lies can alleviate the suffering of the living while they are alive.
If a white lie can reduce the suffering of the living, Jin An and the old Taoist priest are also willing to tell this white lie, so that the sun shines on the heart and dispels the darkness and illness.
Venerable Shanneng is a true attained monk.
......
Now that the candidate has been chosen.
Then the next step is to go straight to the yin.
Master Shanneng began to talk in detail about this trip.
Belch.
When Jin An listened to the yin walking process this time, well, he thought that he would finally be able to see the normal yin walking this time, but this time the yin walking was still different from what he imagined.
Because the three souls and six spirits of those fetuses that died early have been eaten by the ghost fetus in Zhang's belly, which is equivalent to having lost their souls.
After the soul is gone, there is naturally no resentment.
Because you have completely disappeared from the five elements of heaven and earth, the Yellow Spring reincarnation, and no longer exists.
And going to the underworld is to use the obsession or resentment of the deceased to go down to the underworld to search for the real murderer, so this leads to the inability to go to the underworld normally with common sense.
So, Master Shanneng thought of another way to go to the yin.
"I wonder if the two Taoist leaders have ever heard of the mother-son connection?"
"In the twenty-four filial pieties, there is an allusion called 'biting the finger hurts'. It is said that one day, when a filial son went into the mountains to collect firewood, there were guests at home, and his mother was at a loss, so she bit her fingers with her teeth. Xiaozi suddenly felt distressed, so he hurriedly picked up the firewood and quickly returned home to ask his mother why, and his mother said, 'There is a guest suddenly coming, I bite my finger to let you know'. ”
For example, in the spring of one year, a couple went to the field to sow spring seeds, and suddenly, the mother always felt restless and in a trance, as if she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, the mother left the farm work in the field, hurried home, and saw that her only son who had stayed at home almost fell from a high place. If she hadn't arrived in time to hold the child, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
Another example is a child who has been abducted by traffickers since he was a baby, and when the baby grows up, the long-lost mother and son have a special sense when they reunite in a different place, and they recognize each other at a glance. ”
Master Shanneng continued to explain: "The poor monk went to the yin this time, and he planned to use this mother and son to connect his heart. ”
"As the so-called ten fingers are connected to the heart, the left hand is closest to the heart, and the little finger corresponds to the heart and kidneys, etc., and the poor monk will use three thin red ropes to tie the poor monk himself, the Jin'an Taoist, and the baby's left little finger in the coffin. In the end, these three thin red ropes will be tied to the little finger of Zheng Shizhu's left hand. ”
The Zheng Shi Master in the mouth of Master Shanneng is the woman in the couple found by the He family.
After the words fell, Master Shanneng asked the He family to find the thin red rope.
And just when the He family was looking for the thin red rope, Master Shanneng carefully took out a small brocade box from his arms.
Then he dipped some solidified ancient yellow lamp oil from the small brocade box, and the amount was not much, only a little between his fingernails.
Precious.
When the solidified ancient yellow lamp oil is placed on the bronze lampstand on the table.
A vision happened.
The candle flame on the table, which was originally just an ordinary wick of the He family, turned into a golden flame in an instant, and even Jin An felt a strong Buddhist atmosphere from it.
Sacred.
Pure.
Pure yang.
Buddha nature.
There are no impurities.
Jin An was surprised.
"This is the lamp oil in front of the Buddha, the lamp oil in front of the Buddha in the White Dragon Temple, which has accumulated ten kinds of merits of Buddhist believers, such as the ever-bright lamp, which can be seen in the past. ”
"As long as the Buddha's lantern is not extinguished, it can protect us from being overturned by the water of the Yellow River in the underworld, and we will not be lost in the world of yellow whirlwinds and black whirlwinds. ”
Past Buddha?
Isn't this the ancient Buddha of burning lamps?
Jin Anzhong was surprised again.
Buddhism has three ancestors, namely the present Buddha, the past Buddha, and the future Buddha.
And the ancient Buddha of the lamp is the Buddha of the past.
Walking in the yin is to walk into the world of the dead, seeing the past, Master Shanneng used the lamp oil in front of the Buddha to walk in the yin, but it makes sense.
When the He family found the thin red rope, it began to go to the shade, and at this time, it was already completely dark outside.
Empty people, there are only three people and one corpse left in the room, and the thin red rope is tied to the little finger of the left hand of several people.
Just when Jin An was curious about what to do next, Venerable Shanneng began to chant the Dharma, which became more and more grandiose and ethereal.
But Jin An clearly saw that the Zheng family and Master Shanneng in front of him were still there.
But the sound is getting more and more ethereal.
Jin Anxin was taken aback.
When Jin An woke up, he found that he was already in a black and white world, surrounded by thick fog, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and his visibility was extremely low.
It is really a true portrayal of the end in sight and the way in sight.
At the same time, the whispers of countless people sounded in their ears, strange, evil, and tempting to fall.
After Jin An was at a loss at first, he immediately calmed down, and he understood that he had already gone into the underworld.
Jin An turned around and looked around, he was the only one nearby.
At this time, as if he had noticed something, he looked down and saw a thin red rope wrapped around the little finger of his left hand, and the thin red rope extended into the fog in front of him, and he didn't know where it was extending.
Smack.
He hadn't taken a few steps before he stepped on a small puddle under his feet, and he looked like he was standing on the bank of the river.
A strange look appeared on Jin An's face.
He went to the underworld twice, but none of them went to the underworld according to the normal process, the first time was lying in a coffin, and the second time was a mother-son connection......
Jin An shook his head.
Quickly shake away the cranky thoughts in your head.
Smack!
Smack!
Jin An began to stride through the misty zone, wanting to find the good mage as soon as possible.
......
In a thick fog.
The calm in the fog was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and a heavy figure stepped on the splashing puddle in the mist, and the heavy steps approached.
At first, only footsteps could be heard in the fog, and no figure could be seen.
As time passed, the footsteps got closer and faster, the footsteps of one person stepping on the puddle and running past, the footsteps of two people stepping on the puddle and running past, three people, four people, five people......
The footsteps were dense, and no less than hundreds of people were running in a hurry.
Suddenly!
In the fog where nothing could be seen, a black shadow faintly appeared, and the black shadow was getting closer and closer, high and high, as majestic and tall as a black tower.
Smack!
Smack!
The sound of hurried footsteps got closer, and only then did I see that the black blurred black shadow behind the fog vaguely looked like a huge monster with many heads and arms.
The breath is like a demon god.
The rampage was rapidly approaching the shore.
But the footsteps of the hundreds of people were also approaching, as if they were chasing the Zhanggao Demon God in front.
The distance between the two is rapidly closing.
Just when the two were about to collide, suddenly, the vision in front of him lit up, and the black shadow of the multi-headed and multi-armed demon god as majestic as a tall iron tower disappeared, and it was a five-colored man in a robe who rushed out of the fog, it was Jin An.
With two feet across, Jin An, who finally boarded the soul-attracting boat safely, turned his head to look at the river bank behind him with an ugly face.
There were shadows in the mist, and there seemed to be hundreds of human blue-skinned soles standing.
But there are only human feet, no legs, and no body.
The soles of those feet are highly rotten, revealing white bones and fat maggots, and there are as many mad people as they want... The soles of the green skins were densely packed on the banks of the river.
And looking at the direction of the soles of those feet, it seems that he is unwilling to watch Jin An leave by boat.
It wasn't until he was far away from the river bank, the thick fog cut off his vision, and he could no longer see the river bank, that Jin An withdrew his gaze.
"Daoist Jin'an, it seems that you are sinister this time?"
The benevolent mage who was walking forward in the stern of the boat looked at Jin An curiously, as if he was curious about how Jin An had provoked the resentment of so many dead people in the underworld.
Jin An's face darkened.
He was also speechless.
It seems that he walked in the shade twice, but none of them were safe and smooth.
For the first time, he provoked a transparent dead child who fell into the water and drowned.
The second time it was more ruthless.
Directly provoked hundreds of human feet.
"Master Shanneng, is it just me who has run into evil all the way, mage, haven't you encountered anything unusual along the way?" Jin An'an asked unwillingly.
The Zen Neng mage shook his head.
Monks don't speak.
He was indeed calm and quiet along the way.
That's why he was particularly curious about how Jin An provoked so many resentments from the dead.
When he mentioned this, he was angry, Jin An shouted injustice, he followed the thin red rope, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ran directly to the soul attraction ship.
Who knew that in the fog of the footsteps of only him at the beginning, the footsteps of another person suddenly sounded.
Jin An, who had already had an experience of walking in the underworld, knew that he was entangled by the resentment of the dead who had lingered in the underworld for a long time, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment on the road, and he ran desperately without looking back.
As a result, when he ran, the footsteps behind him not only did not widen because of the distance, but the footsteps became more and more.
At first, it was the sound of a person's footsteps, and then it became two to four, four to eight, and eight to sixteen......
The people who followed him seemed to be about to split unlimitedly, and the footsteps became more and more dense, forcing him to finally have to visualize the Great Demon God of Heaven, and his spiritual martial arts exploded desperately with all his might.
It's easy to say.
But the near-sightedness of life is only clear to Jin An.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to even use his spiritual martial arts, and he would have run for his life with all his might.
He was really close to being caught up by the weirdly split paws behind him.
After listening to Jin An's description, Master Shanneng couldn't guess what kind of evil spirit Jin An encountered.
According to Venerable Shanneng said, he had consulted Buddhist scriptures and codexes, and according to the clues left by his ancestors, it seems that the underworld existed longer than the yang?
Therefore, the underworld is even more vast than the yang world, just as the human world is a sea of suffering, boundless, and all living beings cannot escape from this sea of suffering to reach the real other shore.
Therefore, no one can say how many evil and grotesque things exist in this underworld from ancient times to the present, because this world itself is full of people dying every moment, and strange tragedies of people who die in vain and unjustly die every moment.
Popularity!
Ru Yuan!
Demons and gods are afraid!
On the contrary, the remnants and grievances of the dead in the underworld have become more and more eternal, and they are also accumulating more and more powerfully, and they are everywhere filled with despair, curses, darkness, weirdness, and evil that can lead people to fall.
"Master Shanneng, didn't the Zheng clan go down to the underworld with us?"
After talking about the dangerous things he encountered on the road, Jin An looked at the only two of them on the soul attraction boat, and asked Master Xiang Shanneng curiously.
Master Shanneng: "The underworld is too dangerous, from ancient times to the present, no one can guarantee that the underworld will not miss, so the poor monk left Zheng Shizhu in the outside world, as long as the Changming Buddha lamp is not extinguished, as long as the ten fingers are connected to the heart line continuously, with the two of Jin'an Daochang and the poor monk, you can find the real murderer and the whereabouts of the Zhang family." ”
"If it's really those innocent little lives killed by the Zhang family, Amitabha. ”
Listening to the words of the good mage, in the dark, Jin An seemed to have a sense in his heart, and he caught a trace of induction in the great void of the underworld.
That hint of induction comes from a certain direction.
Jin An: "?"
Is this the mother-son connection?
Jin An: "!"
Just when Jin An was thinking wildly, in the fog, Jin An saw that the soul-attracting boat passed through Lingqian Township, but the soul-attracting boat did not stop, and actually continued to drift forward along the Huangquan Road that extended in all directions under his feet.
After rushing for a while, Jin An was surprised.
Why does the Soul Attraction Ship look like it is floating in the direction of Fucheng?
This discovery suddenly surprised Jin An, that group of antique dealers didn't take the Zhang family and the ghost fetus and returned to the city?
