Chapter 3: The Yin Ghost Asks for His Life
Back at Qin Tianjian, Li Yunshan sat down at his desk as if he was relieved. After pretending to be Li Chunfeng for a day, in addition to being respectful, he also had to drag the text, and he coped with it with his tongue jerkily for a day, and when he came back, he protested and grunted in the five visceral temples, which were already tired...... Mutter. I had to fill my stomach first, so I called the Taoist boy.
"You two ......" Li Yunshan rubbed his temples and pretended not to remember.
"I'm Qingfeng, he's Mingyue." Seeing this, a Taoist boy reminded Li Chunfeng.
"Qingfeng went to the back hall, prepared the altar, yellow paper cinnabar, three animal sacrifices, and used to summon spirits for a while; Mingyue went to prepare some food for the three of us, whatever you wanted, it was best to bring some meat, I was already hungry with my chest and back. Li Yunshan was not polite, and he began to issue orders when he summoned Dao Tong.
"Yes!" The two Taoist boys didn't ask much, and after answering, they turned around and left.
……
The back hall of the Qintian prison.
"Mingyue, don't you think that every time Master Li comes back from retreat, something is not quite right?" It was the breeze that spoke.
"Adults are immortals, and they are naturally different from people like us who are superficial." Mingyue maintained Li Chunfeng. After that, he turned around and went to the small stove and began to prepare food, but he didn't sort out the wind again.
……
Meal.
Li Yunshan thought in his heart, although he, the fake Li Chunfeng, is not as powerful as a real person, he has traveled through the past and the present, and has known for thousands of years, but he is also a Taoist priest, and his current skills are naturally enough, so he is relatively safe for the time being, and he will not show any horses. The heart is more steady.
Take a break and head to the back hall.
Seeing that Qingfeng had already set up the altar, he stepped forward to take a closer look. I saw that on the altar, the incense burner, yellow paper, and cinnabar were all ready, the spirit flags were set up on both sides, and the three clear bells and the peach wood sword were placed on one side, and I was proud for a while. I think of the experience of traveling in this world, and the hardships of arranging the altar every time, compared with the comfort and freedom of today. Some people are calling, and it's really good.
Just after midnight, the yin qi is slightly stronger. Li Yunshan cleared his throat, straightened his robe, and came to the altar in style, holding the peachwood sword in his right hand, and sending the sword fingers with two fingers in his left hand. Stop, a banner in his left hand, sacrifice the yellow table paper, recite the mantra, and build the altar.
"Wandering ghosts, where to stay,
The three souls descend early, and the seven spirits come,
The gates of heaven are opened, and the gates of earth are secluded,
Wandering ghosts, quickly avoid,
Thousands of miles of boys, respecting the soul of the soul,
Honor my decree and come quickly,
Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law. ”
After reciting the formula, step quickly and start the gang, all in one go.
A set of spiritualist spells was completed, and I saw that the calm back hall began to wind, and the temperature also dropped with the sound, and the breeze next to Mingyue's body trembled, and it was really frozen that goosebumps fell all over the ground.
"Who's calling me? Who's calling me? A gloomy voice echoed in midair. I vaguely saw an old man in a bearded suit with a bloody face appearing. The people present are all people in the Daomen, and when they open their eyes, they naturally see the truth.
"Evil obstacles, you are dead, why are you forced to stay in the world?" Li Yunshan shouted loudly.
"Hmph, junior child, how are you qualified to ask me!" The old ghost is not a mortal, although he died, but the three souls and seven spirits were not broken because of their resentment, they gathered their soul consciousness, stayed in the yang world for decades, and cultivated a few Taoist deeds, and they were even more afraid when they saw ordinary Taoist priests. Seeing that Li Yunshan was a hairy boy, he was even more arrogant.
"Evil obstacles, not for the sake of your unjust death relatives, I will make your soul fly away now!" Li Yunshan saw that the old ghost was arrogant, and scolded loudly.
"The yellow-mouthed child, who has not grown all his hair, dares to be unreasonable to the old man, humming...... Let you taste the power of the old man! After the old ghost finished speaking, he suddenly broke free of the forbidden spell and quickly rushed towards Li Yunshan.
"Carving insect skills" Li Yunshan said lightly, raised his left hand, bit his middle finger, and the blood of Zhiyang broke out of the skin. Without stopping for a moment, he flicked his middle finger with his hand, and blood droplets flew out like bullets.
"Ah...... Forehead...... Who are you? How can you have a ghost king order in your blood! You treacherous Taoist priest, dare to ruin my Taoism. The old ghost screamed with struggle, as if he was very afraid of Li Yunshan's blood.
Seeing this, Li Yunshan put down the peachwood sword, put his hands on each other, pinched the trick, gave up, and shouted: "Five thunder ghost slashing talismans!" Without waiting for the old ghost to react, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky and boomed.
"Immortal and slow, immortal and slow!" When the old ghost saw this, he cried out in surprise. He knew how powerful Li Yunshan was, and hurriedly shrank his head and begged for mercy, for fear that if he hesitated again, he would not only lose his deeds, but also lose his soul.
Li Yunshan didn't want to destroy him in the first place, so he naturally put away his tricks, fixed the sea of qi, and stopped the five thunder ghost slashing talismans.
"Khan of Qimin!" Li Yunfeng yelled at the old ghost.
"I'm here, I'm here, the fairy commands!" The old ghost trembled, his face was pale, and he stuttered at Li Yunshan as if he had lost his soul.
"I'm Li Chunfeng, and I'm calling you here today to let you tell your son about his alliance with King Tang in the future." Li Yunshan said in the name of Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng? No wonder it's so powerful. Fortunately, I met just now, otherwise I am really afraid that it has become air and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"The immortal doesn't know what to say to me to the dog." The old ghost knew that Li Chunfeng had a request for him, so he calmed down a little.
"Go to the Turkic array, and tell your son that he will ally with the king of Tang one day, and if the king of Tang rides a red horse, the lord will be lucky, and the battle will be won; If the king of Tang rides a white horse, the battle will be defeated, and the Turks will ...... perished," Li Yunshan said.
"That's it!?" The old ghost thinks it's too simple, and the matter of dreaming and talking is caught.
"In this matter, if you can do it, I will send you a petition to intercede with the judge of the Yin Division." Li Yunshan also told the old ghost the content of the transaction.
The old ghost is not stupid, he knows the role of this statement. A ghost like him who doesn't go to the underworld to report after his death, if he doesn't plead and is caught by the ghost, he will have to go to the eighteenth layer of hell and suffer a lot of crimes. And now that someone is willing to send this statement to the ghost, not only will he not be punished, but he may also have the opportunity to re-enter the reincarnation. This is really a rare opportunity, it is not a big thing, and the reward is not small.
After thinking about it, I should go. But he was afraid of being cheated, so he asked.
"What if you don't keep your word?" The old ghost questioned.
"Heaven cannot escape, I will accept the punishment of heaven. How's that, this business! Li Chunfeng was also refreshed, and directly opened the hole cards.
"Very well. I'll go right away. After the old ghost finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
The surroundings were back to normal again, as if nothing had happened.
……
In the middle of the night, on the banks of the Weishui River, outside the Turkic tent.
"Where is my son? Where is my son? The voice of the old ghost resounded through the Turkic camp, and the Turkic Jieli Khan in the main tent quickly broke through the door, looking for the place where the voice came from, and shouted as he ran: "Father Khan, father Khan, where are you?" ”
"My son, you must remember that your father has something to say to you." The old ghost appeared and said to Jieli Khan faintly.
"On another day, you will make an alliance with the King of Tang, if the King of Tang comes on a red horse, you will lead a large army to conquer Chang'an, and this battle will be won! But if the king of Tang comes on a white horse, you need to reconcile with him, and you can go back if you want some money, otherwise the battle will be lost, and the Turkic kingdom" The old ghost basically told Li Chunfeng's confession to Jieli Khan as it was.
"This ......," Jieli Khan hesitated. A little reluctant, thinking that he was under the city of Chang'an, with an army of 100,000 soldiers, according to the spies, there were less than 10,000 soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and his army was in full swing, so he was not afraid of Li Tang at all. But when his father Khan appeared to say it, he had to believe one or two.
"As a father, I can only say that I have so much for you, and you can decide the rest. Remember! With that, he disappeared with a cigarette. Leave Jieli where he is.
It seems that my father must have spied on the heavens, so he came to me. Jieli was thinking about it, but when he saw that in the Turkic camp, all the generals bowed to him, and one of the generals led by him shouted: "The first Khan has appeared, God bless the Turks!" Jieli is an understanding person and a dutiful son, so he immediately decided to listen to the advice of his father Khan.
……
On August 30, 626 A.D., according to Li Chunfeng's strategy, Li Shimin rode a white horse, took twenty light horses, and slowly marched to the bank of the Weishui River to make an alliance with the Turks.
In early autumn, the waters near Chang'an were covered with mist in the early morning.
Jieli Khan himself stood on the Weishui Bridge, looking ahead. But he saw Li Shimin coming on a white horse, and in the fog behind him, many soldiers could be faintly seen, and it was estimated that there was a large army in ambush in the fog ahead, and the number was amazing, so he believed the warning of his father Khan.
Dismounted, on the bridge, talked with Li Shimin with good words, and then beheaded the horse to form an alliance. It is known as the "Weishui Alliance" in history.
……
On a high ground on the bank of the Weishui River, Li Yunshan, the cross-sectional version of Li Chunfeng, smiled proudly. When I first came to Datang, I was fortunate to witness the "Weishui Alliance" and felt a lot of emotion. It is as if he has become the most important grain of sand in the reversal of the situation. The little Taoist priest who was ignorant a few days ago has now gained a few more knowledge, no wonder the master said: "Mortal dust refines the heart." ”
"Here's the matter, it's settled. Let's get started with the city's business. He turned his horse's head and went to Chang'an City.
……
In Chang'an City, East City, Orchid Wine Cellar.
A man dressed as a Taoist priest sat cross-legged on the ground. The right hand rested on the skull of a dead man and stroked it back and forth. Like a caress, full of pity.
In front of him lay a corpse that had just lost its last breath.
The corpse had its eyes open, its eyeballs all black, and there was not a trace of the whites of its eyes.
