Kotou Village. There is a large house in the east of the village, where all the monks gather.

When Master Zhenyuan led the little Taoist priest in, the hall was silent. All the monks looked at it in unison.

At this time, who else can enter this place? Naturally, the rising star of the Daomen, the leader of the young generation of the Great Song Dynasty today, has a great reputation, and many magical legends, the Taoist priest Zhang Tianyi of the Tianyi faction!

The monks who can sit here are self-attained monks, and the cultivation of the Dharma is not to say how, at least the mind is cultivated. So although everyone was unhappy to look at the little Taoist, they didn't show it on their faces.

In the burning gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, the little Taoist priest looked indifferent, fluttered in, and looked straight into the immortals.

Some eminent monks nodded slightly: Not to mention anything else, this kind of bearing alone is extremely rare.

Among the monks, there is another person who is familiar to the little Taoist, this person is kind and kind-eyed, has two long-lived eyebrows, and has a smooth and bearded chin, which is the master of Wude.

Master Wude is a Buddhist monk, very good at catching ghosts, and his name is very famous. The little Taoist priest hurriedly went up to salute, but Master Wude only returned the salute lightly, and his expression was not affectionate.

The little Taoist priest was stunned and smiled bitterly in his heart. The master is still haunted by what happened to Liu Qingyan at the beginning!

Seeing the little Taoist priest coming in, the first official laughed and said, "The little immortal is here, fortunately!" ”

"This time, I can invite the little fairy, there must be no mistake in this matter, you can rest assured!"

"Little fairy, a certain monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi, surnamed Xu, the word is self-satisfied, responsible for presiding over this matter, and please take care of the little fairy."

Although the monk Lu Si Zuo Shanshi is only the sixth grade, he is in charge of the affairs of the monks and nuns in the temple on behalf of the imperial court, and his status in the eyes of the monks is very high. Seeing that Xu Zide respected this young Taoist priest so much, the monks' hearts sank, and they put away a little contempt.

It seems that under the fame, this Taoist priest is by no means a wasted person.

Xu Zide personally took the little Taoist priest's hand and asked him to sit in the guest of honor. The little Taoist priest was startled, among the people seated, he was the only one who was young and the lightest, how could he dare to bear it, and hurriedly excused himself.

Xu Zide understood his concerns, and said with a smile: "You have to be personally invited by the Holy Lord, and you are invited here with the Holy Decree, so you naturally deserve it." ”

The little Taoist priest insisted that he would not accept it. Master Zhenyuan said, "Sit down at the head of the old man, there is still a vacant seat here." ”

The little Taoist priest hurriedly sat down. Xu Zide was helpless, shook his head and smiled.

After sitting down, he looked at the bald head in the room, and the little Taoist priest was a lot more relieved. Invited Master Zhenyuan and Master Wude, this time, the Sanglu Division really did his best. In such a battle, it is really possible to challenge the yang ghost.

Xu Zide said: "The little fairy just came, so I will talk about this matter. ”

"Since three days ago, after the yang ghost came to Bangqiu Lake, he coveted the ten miles of lotus, so he stopped, and every night, wholeheartedly," Speaking of this, Xu Zide paused for a moment, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Make lanterns!" ”

"According to the observation of the past two days, this yang ghost is actually not a murderous person. As long as you don't touch her lanterns, you will be walking around her, and she will definitely ignore you. But if you break her lanterns, she will go berserk. ”

"The biggest gain in the past two days is that I am sure that this yang ghost has lost all his senses!"

What the! The little Taoist priest was shocked.

Xu Zide nodded: "This matter is definitely correct." Previously, in order to be tempted, a certain person drove a buffalo and rushed towards her lantern. It stands to reason that even a child of a few years old knows that the cow will break the lamp, and will think of stopping it before it rushes. But the yang ghost was indifferent, he saw it, but he turned a blind eye and let the cow hit him. But just when the cow stepped on the first lantern, the yang ghost broke out violently. At that moment,"

Speaking of this, Xu Zide shuddered fiercely: "At that moment, such a big and sturdy buffalo was divided into countless pieces. That scene, I watched it really,"

He shuddered again: "It's terrifying! It's like a heavy rain, the rain is red, and there is meat in it! ”

"The rain is red, and there is meat in it," as soon as he said this, the expressions on the faces of everyone who sat down were extremely unnatural.

Xu Zide has been immersed in officialdom for many years, so naturally he will not weaken his morale before the battle, he smiled: "But then again, this yang ghost makes a lantern, and it is also called a beauty." A certain is also considered to be well-informed, but when I saw it last night, tsk. Under the bright moon in the sky, there is a ten-mile lotus pond, or white or red lotus, there are hundreds of lanterns, scattered and linked, emitting a little candlelight. At that time, the moonlight and candlelight reflected each other, and the lotus flowers and lanterns were opposite, and the scene was really beautiful! ”

"I saw it at that time, and I wanted to chant a poem, but I didn't have the talent of Dongpo, so I could only look at the beauty and sigh, sighing in my heart!"

Speaking of this, Xu Zide sighed regretfully and continued: "The audience monk said that the yang ghost has a slender figure, although he can't see his face, but his temperament is ethereal, like a fairy. Such a beauty, draped in a piece of moonlight, picked the most beautiful flowers, and made the most beautiful lamp. This love really makes a certain heart sigh, there is a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for? ”

When he said this, Xu Zide closed his eyes and pondered, his heart was intoxicated, and it was obvious that these words were really emotional. But after opening his eyes, he saw the bald head full of the hall and the embarrassment on the bald face, Xu Zide was shocked: Well, I said the wrong thing again!

Xu Zide smiled and said, "It's a pity, how can you be a thief?" If this woman has no quarrel with the world and only makes her lanterns, then God has the virtue of a good life, although people and ghosts have different paths, but why don't I let her go? It's a pity that she has lost her mind, and now she is just an obsessed madman, and there is no mercy in her heart. If you want the lantern to float in the air, it is inevitable that there will be curious people who will touch her lantern. But as long as the lantern breaks, she will kill in a rage. It's okay to kill only one person, but you will kill all the people nearby. When will this boundless slaughter come to an end? ”

"Therefore," he said aloud, "we will act in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and act in accordance with the decree of heaven, and gather here to kill this ghost." ”

He pointed to the bottom of the hall and shouted, "There are thirty-one monks in this room today. Among them, there are Buddhist monks such as Master Wude and Master Zhenyuan. With this formation, why can't the ghosts in the world be removed? ”

He stood up and arched his hand: "In order to save the people in the world and avoid the destruction of lives, we must not fight in this battle, and we must not win." ”

"Everything, please masters!"

All the monks stood up in unison and shouted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha".

Master Wude said: "Buddhism purifies all sentient beings, since this ghost is stubborn, we need to temper her, this is the proper righteousness. My Buddhism does not influence the common people, and does not protect benevolence, so what do you want Buddhism to do? ”

Xu Zide sighed: "The master is compassionate and heartfelt! I will ask the master to explain the next arrangement. ”

Master Wude said, "Good! ”

"Buddhism's exorcism of ghosts is nothing more than the use of magic instruments, spells, mudras, and supernatural powers."

"Although the magic weapon is a foreign object, it has to be used to get rid of this demon. Today, gather the nine kinds of Buddha's treasures, there are the incense burner of Daci Temple, the Shengzun Building, the goldfish in the hands of the old monks, the white conch of the Nunnery, the gold duo of the White Horse Temple, etc. These nine treasures have been enshrined for hundreds of years, supported by the Dharma, and are subject to infinite mental power, and their power is so great that they are unstoppable. It is used to kill demons and eliminate demons, easy to do. ”

"All of you are high monks, and you are proficient in mantras and mudras. Since the yang ghost has lost all his senses, it is easy to deal with it. ”

"Based on the nine supreme treasures, and twenty-seven Buddhist instruments, into thirty-six numbers, are distributed in the center. Then I waited for the thirty-one monks, and Qi Zen sat beside him. As soon as the yang ghosts arrive, they will give the Dharma seals such as the Fearless Seal, the Wish Seal, the Demon Suppression Seal, and the Period Seal according to their strengths, and recite the mantra of the body protection, the mantra of Guru Rinpoche, and the mantra of the Great Sun. ”

After this arrangement was made, Master Jinghai used his longbow to break through a lantern and lure the Yang Ghost to attack. The Yang Ghost has no mind and will surely step into the trap. In this way, how can it not be destroyed? ”

As soon as he said this, all the monks in the room nodded again and again, and their faces were happy. Even the little Taoist priest felt that this arrangement was very appropriate.

A person is invincible, but if he is just a fool, it is naturally easy to deal with. The same goes for yang ghosts. Compared with the demented yang ghost, the sane yang ghost is too easy to deal with.

The plan was decided, and Master Wude began to send it down. For a while, the room was very lively.

But this excitement has nothing to do with the little Taoist. He is a Taoist, not a monk.

Xu Zide was afraid that he would be embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The little fairy will sit in the end and make the sea god needle." If there is an eventuality, the little fairy has to strike that key blow, and this is an immortal miracle. ”

Naturally, these words made the monks uncomfortable. An old monk said: "The Monk Lu Division did his best this time, sparing everything, and in a short period of time, he recruited all the senior monks near the capital and contributed to this grand event. Such a grand event is really a major event of our Buddhism for decades, and it should be passed down in history. ”

"With such hard work, it is necessary to gather so many eminent monks and gather so many Buddhist treasures, and it is easy to use all of them to deal with a yang ghost who has lost his mind."

"In this matter, don't bother with the day, just stand by and watch. I just ask the Taoist to be a witness to your Taoism, to witness that the Dharma of my Buddhism is boundless, and the magic power is vast, so it is enough! ”

This is a bit of a slap in the face. Xu Zide was furious, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but the little Taoist priest smiled: "The purpose of my coming here is to get rid of the yang ghosts. If you don't need to make a move, you monks can make this great achievement, which is naturally a good thing. Such a good thing cannot be sought! ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Zide also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and only snorted coldly. Speaking of which, although the Sanglu Division is in charge of the affairs of the monks and nuns in the world, the restraint on the monks is actually not strong, and he really does not want to offend this high monk. So Xu nodded gratefully to the little Taoist.

Since the little Taoist priest came in, he endured it step by step. Because his fame is too high, this tolerance will not make people look down on him, but will make the hostility in the hearts of the monks in the room disappear.

Master Wude said: "I have long heard that the sky can summon thunder during the day, and the old monk doesn't believe it. But Master Zhenyuan also said so, so there should be no doubt about this matter. ”

"Although the Dao method has little effect on the yang ghosts, the Lei method is different. Divine thunder is the extreme of yang, as long as the yang ghost fails to cultivate to the yang god, the ghost body is still dominated by yin qi. When such a divine thunder falls, she will be severely damaged. ”

"The monks of my Buddhism will protect the heavenly chief at the end, and the Taoist chief does not need to be distracted by others, but only concentrate on summoning thunder. Even if there is a discord between us, the yang ghost will definitely be seriously injured. When the time comes, the Dao Chief's divine thunder will definitely be able to turn things around. ”

"This matter is arranged like this, do you have any opinions?"

The little Taoist priest said with a smile: "The master's arrangement is very proper, and the poor Dao has no other opinions." ”

"Good!" Master Wude shouted angrily: "Take a day off today to recuperate and save taxes." ”

"Tomorrow, I'll wait and kill the yang ghost!"
