Now, the sun is slanting to the west. As usual, it was time for the two monsters in the lake, the white snake spirit and the green snake spirit, to come out and show off their might. But see, the Buddha seal is very fearless to stand on the altar of the Great Goma, the disciples in the altar, the bowl and drum in unison, the sound of Amitabha Buddha, one after another, wave after wave, the sound of advancement, very imposing!

On the top of the altar, the Buddha Yin waved a flag with one hand, pointed to the middle of the lake with the other hand, and recited words in his mouth. In the distance, in the water area of about 200 meters between the island called "Abbot" (now Ruan Gongdun), which is more than 700 meters northeast of the current Foyin standpoint, and the "Penglai" island, which has not yet built a lake pavilion, there are two huge white snakes and green snakes floating and playing on the lake.

Today, because I heard that the great fǎ master of the Great Xiangguo Temple who came to Hangzhou from Bianjing was going to perform rituals on the shore of the lake, and he was going to burn the lake monster and snake spirit that had been strange for many days, so all the people in Hangzhou City who could walk rushed to the lake, poured out their nests, and had a glimpse. Fortunately, the West Lake is big enough and the shoreline is long enough, so there was no stampede. However, in the area from Dingjiashan to Maojiabu and then to Quyuan Fenghe, there are still crowds of people, all crowded on the lakeshore, climbing the treetops, climbing the mountain, squatting on the roof, all picking a good position!

Now, the white snake spirit and the green snake spirit between the "abbot" and "Penglai" are playing treasure, patting the water for a while, splashing the water; After a while, it was swinging its tail, stirring up a circle of ripples in the lake.

Today, there are twenty-four of the Yellow Mud's subordinates who play the White Snake Spirit and the Green Snake Spirit, and each snake is matched with twelve people. The trick they played was actually not complicated, they "moved" the dragon lantern that they had in the folk at this time, that is, the dragon lantern played on the street during the Chinese New Year. Of course, this "move" is not simple. First of all, according to the plot, in terms of appearance, one must become white, the other must become green, and the dragon shape must be shaped into a snake. Secondly, dragon lanterns are generally 20 meters long and 60 or 70 centimeters in diameter, and are made of iron wire inside, and candles are installed. Now that it is in the water, the lights are no longer needed, and the snake's body is stuffed with straw and empty bamboo tubes, which can make the snake's body float on the surface of the lake. A person is drilled into the head of the snake, and he wants to perform the movements of the head of the snake and spit out the "snake letter"; There is another person under the head of the snake, who wants to use two thin wooden poles to control the opening and closing of the snake's mouth; Under the entire snake body, there is a row of "snake feet", which is the "feet" added by painting the snake to add feet. This "foot" is actually the wooden pole held by the dragon dancer in the dragon lantern. Now, under the hands of the yellow mud in the water, he has changed from a dragon dancer to a snake dancer. They dance the snake's "feet" and make the snake dance up and down from side to side; And the head of the snake still raises from time to time, opens its mouth, spits out the snake letter, and shakes its head. Of course, these snake dancers are hidden in the water with straws in their mouths, and when they move, they stir up the water of the lake, so no one can expose them. Today, their head informed them that they should stand up for the last shift according to the requirements of the people who have taken care of you, and that today's play will be over when it is over, and they can go home to receive the bonus. So, today, they work very hard!

Now, the two snake heads of the white snake spirit and the green snake spirit have seen the signal from the Buddha seal and know that in order to hold the Buddha seal; In order to show the effect of the performance to the onlookers more clearly, according to the agreement, they swam closer to Maojiabu.

Less than a kilometer away, half swimming, half stepping on the bottom of the lake, half walking and half performing for half an hour, the two snakes swam close to Maojiabu, about 100 meters offshore.

Not to mention, at this distance, these two snakes are quite good, very realistic, especially their twisting from side to side, really like a water snake swimming.

At this time, the Buddha seal pretending to be a ghost on the altar has been doing the Dharma, saying, all the dignitaries, all the righteous men and gentlemen, all the fathers and villagers, all the good men and women, all the donors and disciples, the beautiful West Lake recently, the West Lake, which is always suitable for heavy dressing, has become a dangerous lake where no one dares to go down to the lake, and monsters are rampant, why is this? This is because there are two snake spirits in the lake, one is the white snake spirit and the other is the green snake spirit. This mage has ingested the three souls and six spirits of these two snake spirits today and collected them in the talisman. The stay will be burned in public with the true bodies of the two snake spirits in the lake, so that their bodies will disappear and no longer harm people......

As he spoke, Buddha Yin raised his torch and leaned at the runic paper that ingested the soul of the snake spirit, while more than a dozen of Buddha Yin's subordinates drew their bows and arrows, and took the blazing rockets to aim at the two snake spirits in the lake.

Seeing that everything was ready, Buddha Yin shouted: "Snake spirit, your end has come!" He shouted and set fire to the dementor paper with a torch. The rockets of more than a dozen subordinates were also fired together with the shouts of the Buddha seal! The fire swept across the lake!

According to the plan, at this time, the rocket will ignite the two snake spirits, because the two snake essences are stuffed with straw, bamboo tubes and other flammable materials, for the effect, a lot of kerosene was poured into them yesterday. And a little before, those who were hidden in the muddy water should immediately give up the performance, dive to the Maojiabu grass and hide in the grass, hide until the night, the people are scattered, and then quietly go ashore. At this point, this single job has come to an end.

However, at this most critical moment, it is very strange that something is wrong!

The twenty-four people under the surface of the lake should have escaped and dived away, allowing the two snake spirits that were still under their control just now to burn on the surface of the lake above their heads. But! When these twenty-four people were about to let go of the "snake feet" they were holding in their hands, they suddenly found that they couldn't let go! Of course, they are strange about this! Of course they were nervous! Of course they have to struggle! This fatal tension and struggle, somehow, in the panic, as if there were ghosts and gods, these twenty-four people one by one were close to the belly of the snake! A few more twists, and they're all stuck to the belly of the snake!

There was a sudden change in the water, but the Buddha seal on the altar didn't know it, after all, he was still a hundred meters away from the two snake spirits! At this time, the flying rocket has ignited the two snake bodies, the straw in the snake body is burning, the burning bamboo tube has become the original version of the firecracker, and the kerosene added to the fire, so, after a while, the two snakes in the lake have become two fire dragons, and the ping-pong is very lively, and the night curtain that has begun to land has been lifted again, at least illuminating the fire scene.

Huang Shiren, who was at the foot of Dingjia Mountain, felt that something was not quite right, and turned around to make a gesture to the Buddha seal high on the altar. Buddha Yin is a smart person, and he also thinks it is incredible, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that something is wrong, but he can't think of a reason. You think, according to the agreement, before the fire starts, the water ghosts should be evacuated. Therefore, the snake spirit, which has always been very active, should be stationary before the fire, and should burn freely when burning, not moving, and not disturbed. But now, from a distance, these two snake spirits moved more violently when they burned than when they didn't burn before! It's more intense! In fact, this is very normal, those twenty-four people who were trapped by the two snakes are all alive! If you find something wrong, don't you have to struggle? As soon as he struggled, wouldn't the snake's body move greatly? This big move, Buddha Yin felt incredible, and the people enjoyed it! You two snake spirits, you do know what it tastes like to be burned at the stake, right? Hum! Burn you! Deserve! Therefore, I don't know who led the way, applauded, and for a while, there was a lot of applause on the shore!

The fire burns, burns! It is strange that the fire does not get weaker and weaker, on the contrary, it burns stronger and stronger, and it is not the kind of red fire that adds oil and kerosene to the fire; It's the kind of white fire that is fueled with gasoline on the fire, and this fire is getting more and more vigorous, and its volume has greatly exceeded the fire field that the original two snake essence volumes can support! Two huge walls of fire, like two towering fire trees, soared, burned, and noisy on the roots of the two small snake spirits!

The two great flames whirring in the wind are like two torches, like two inexhaustible and tireless torches. This made the Buddha Yin and Huang Shiren and others who knew it inexplicable, but it made other people who didn't know finally see the way. The huge pillar of fire now illuminates the fire scene within a radius of one or two miles, clearly visible. It was discovered that on the surface of the lake now, next to the remains of the snake spirit, there are many charred human corpses! Counting one, two, three, four, there are twenty-four charred corpses! Someone asked the Buddha Yin Venerable who was still practicing the Dharma on the top of the altar: "May I ask the great monk, aren't you burning two snake essences?" How did twenty-four people burn out? ”

The head of the Buddha seal is very good, and the turn is very fast. Although he didn't figure out why his ally's subordinates didn't escape as agreed, but were burned to death, but when he moved and played on the spot, he was an Amitabha Buddha: "Back to this benefactor, the poor monk saw it clearly with his eyes." These twenty-four human corpses were originally devoured in the stomach by the snake spirit, and now the snake spirit has been burned by the fire. Gone! Therefore, these twenty-four people who had been devoured by the snake spirit slipped out of the snake's belly, and when they slipped out, they were burned to the ground and floated on the surface of the lake! ”

One of them continued to ask: "May I ask the Great Fǎ Master, why were those two big snake spirits burned by the fire just now, and their bones were gone?" ”

Buddha Yin replied: "My samadhi true fire is not vegetarian, you see, the fire in the ordinary world, no matter how fierce it burns, can it burst out of the wall of fire more than ten meters?" My Samadhi True Fire has destroyed the corpses of these two snake spirits! ”

Someone asked, "Why can't the Samadhi Fire destroy the charred corpses floating on the surface of the lake?" ”

Buddha Yin replied, "Those two snakes are goblins, and of course I will destroy them; And those charred corpses are just some evildoers who did a lot of bad things when they were alive, and Hades let them die in Shekou. If, then, their sins have been punished, why should I destroy them again? ”

……

As he spoke, the water of the West Lake was beating and the waves were blowing, and a few charred corpses floated close to the shore of the lake. In the midst of the raging fire, a noon woman suddenly screamed: "Oops! It's amazing! Isn't this the little frog's stepfather, the toad? ”

Curious onlookers were just about to find out, when another elderly woman screamed in a hoarse voice, and said in a trilling voice: "Oops! It's amazing! Isn't this the old fox's son, the water fox? ”

……

Taking advantage of the dark moon, the high wind, and the mixed crowds, before the two snake spirits in the lake were extinguished, the Buddha Yin, who had already tasted the taste of failure in Bianjing, knew that he was being slandered in secret again today, so he slipped away without saying a word. The four tigers surnamed Huang, who had been staring at the Buddha seal with their eyes, also followed when they saw the opportunity. I am afraid that the families of the twenty-four will come to the door, and I am afraid that the souls of the twenty-four will come back to the account.

The current West Lake, after the fire was extinguished, was dark and the visibility was extremely poor. Onlookers from all walks of life, each with their own thoughts, are thinking, tomorrow at dawn, come back to have a look, see what the tricks are? Is it the snake spirit that is harming people? Or are human spirits harming people?

Nothing to say all night, goodbye at dawn. Tianma is bright, and many people from Hangzhou who are good things, involved in things, and have nothing to do have gathered on the shore of the West Lake and Dingjiashan again. Some people with long feet, as soon as they arrived at Dingjia Mountain, found that there was a slope with no trees and only turf, and there was a new black and black big word: "pseudo"!

Take a closer look, oops! Oh my god! The word "pseudo" was originally made from the torso, limbs, and head of a charred person. Burnt out, bloody and fleshy, severed limbs and broken arms, shocking, terrifying......
