On the first day of the tenth lunar month, the Winter Clothes Festival, also known as the October Dynasty. On this day, just like the Qingming Festival and the Midyear Festival, the people will sacrifice for the ancestors and their relatives who have gone, this time the sacrifice sweeps in addition to burning paper money, incense and candles, the people will also prepare for the incineration of the clothes, hoping that the relatives on the ground will have thick clothes to keep warm and not suffer from the cold winter. This is called "sending winter clothes".

The green smoke and sunset are more dusk, and there are traces of thousands of road fires. Send the dead soul to burn the coins, and the underworld is cold and far away from the family.

The people of Anping Village set off into the city early in the village after burning the clothes of their deceased relatives. Today, the sage issued an edict saying that he was preparing a ritual for the people of Oucheng in the city, paying tribute to the deceased victims, and also driving away evil spirits for them.

This exorcism ritual was presided over by Lord Zhengtong Tianling, the Supervisor of Qintian.

This Tong Tianling is a master of the world who met on the road when the saint went down to the south of the Yangtze River seven years ago. It is said that he is a Yuqing Taoist from Gusu Xuanmiaoguan, who knows how to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the elixir he cultivates can prolong life, and he is known as a living immortal in the local area.

At this moment, just after the hour, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the Temple of Heaven in the capital. In the center of the Temple of Heaven is an altar, in front of which a Taoist with eyes like stars and an extraordinary temperament holds a peachwood sword in his hand and prepares to dance the sword to start the sacrifice.

He is Tong Tianling, a person from Yuqing Dao, who wears a lotus crown on his head, wearing a purple gossip robe, and a pair of black moire double-faced shoes under the white high cloth socks.

The breeze rose, and the man danced the peachwood sword in his hand as if riding the wind, and stepped on the sword, after a momentum, the man slowly lunged, but the hand holding the sword sharpened the sword extremely quickly, and then one of the people raised his knees to split the sword. Jian Feng brought up the gossip robe of the Taoist chief, but there was a leisurely and chic feeling.

After a rotation, the Taoist leader stopped with a left lunge, took a false step with his right, slowly raised his knee and held the sword, and then quickly kicked his foot forward and stabbed it, and then stabbed at the Dao talisman prepared before the sacrifice to the heavens. Then the Daoist did not set the rune paper on fire, but used a mahogany sword to string the rune paper on the blade of the sword, and stabbed it into the prepared porcelain basin with one turn.

In an instant, the ingots tin foil in the porcelain basin and the rune paper burned themselves like a Taoist casting a fire spell, and the people couldn't take their eyes off it, and the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Immediately after that, several "wizards" dressed very strangely began to dance in the square, their faces wearing terrifying demon masks, and their mouths seemed to "roar and roar" incantations, like demons that had been born into the world, making people cry out of disgust and fear.

After dancing a set of swordsmanship, the Taoist stood in front of the altar with a sword in his left hand and in front of his chest, his right thumb and ring finger and Xiao Zhi were bent, and his index and middle fingers were pressed on top of the peach wood body, closing his eyes and reciting the mantra silently. Then the wizard pointed at the point of his peachwood sword stopped dancing and fell to the ground in an instant, symbolizing the exorcism of evil.

But a closer look reveals that one of the wizards is particularly light on his feet, and his feet are not as strong as the others. The man was clearly dancing with light skills. At this time, a huge fireball suddenly appeared on the altar, and the jade Qingdao man in the center recited a short spell and directly split the fireball with a peachwood sword.

"Broken!"

Then a baby in the fireball suddenly appeared, and a wizard flew directly to catch the baby that was about to land.

He held the child in his arms and was facing the Taoist, waiting for the Taoist to exorcise the demon. At the same time, it also let everyone see the snow-white and pink face of the little baby.

The man recited a spell to the sky as if he was like, and then sprinkled a talisman at the baby, and said sharply, "Demon Star, you dare to cause trouble." Today, the deity will do the right thing for heaven."

It's just that the water has a sour smell, but it is masked by the strong smell of paper ashes and incense and candles on the altar. And the child, who had been drowsy, was awakened by the movement in front of him, and showed a confused expression. It's a little distressing to look at.

Everyone knows that this child was born on the day of the broom star, and that he brought disaster to the city, and that today he is going to be incinerated to ward off evil spirits. But seeing such an innocent and lovely child, there is always a trace of unbearable in my heart.

The Taoist asked the sorcerer to tie the baby to the altar and prepare for the fire. It's just that the breeze blows, and there is a faint sour smell, and the hearts of the people are also faintly sour. Although they couldn't bear it, if this child was really a disaster, they didn't dare to cry out for mercy for him.

The parents covered the eyes of the children who were clamoring to see the sacrifice, and they did not dare to open their eyes.

At this moment, a crisp child's voice suddenly sounded on the altar.

"Bold path, dare to burn the golden body of my defeated boy"

As soon as these words came out, the Temple of Heaven was silent for an instant, and everyone opened their eyes and looked left and right, after all, there were some slightly older children in the sacrifice. They should be ignorant and mischievous. It's just that everyone hasn't stabilized their minds yet, and the voice sounded again:

"I made a promise with Tianzun that I would be able to become a god after I experienced birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, and you wanted to destroy my golden body. If the golden body is destroyed, it will take another hundred years, and the consequences will be unimaginable, so you will not release me quickly. ”

At this point the crowd confirmed that the sound was coming from the altar, where there was only a bound baby. Isn't it the baby who is less than 100 days old who spoke? This is really incredible.

At this time, someone pointed to the altar and shouted, "Lotus, it's a lotus"

The people looked at the place he was pointing, and a large red lotus flower appeared on the child's snow-white forehead, bright red like blood.

"Nezha, is that child the reincarnation of Nezha?"

"Yes, yes, Nezha had a lotus root golden body in his previous life, and there will be lotus flowers in his reincarnation."

"Really, so it's true."

"Is it true that the dragon king will come to cause trouble in the world in a hundred years?"

"Mother, is that doll a fairy?"

"Is the Taoist priest going to burn the immortals?"

Many people in the crowd began to be uneasy, and most of the foolish people who believed in the disaster star naturally believed in the Su Manchurian version of the legend of Nezha. They shouted that they couldn't burn the baby, and for a moment the scene began to be a little chaotic.

The Yuqing Daoist on the altar was stunned for a while, and then took a peachwood sword and directly picked up the tablecloth under the altar, but there was only a paper bowl and a small paper cup with a large opening, and there was no one.

The Yuqing Daoist frowned, and there was no hiding from anyone else on the altar, but the voice clearly came from above the altar. There were only him and this baby here, and the more the Taoist thought about it, the cooler his back became.

And at this moment, something even stranger happened, originally Yuqing Daoist felt that the lotus flower between the baby's forehead was scribbled, after all, the blinding method was his usual method. At this moment, the lotus flower between the baby's eyebrows disappeared, and the baby smiled at him.

His hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, why was this happening, and for a while he only thought of two words - demon, this is really demon.

He then took out the phosphorus powder and sprinkled it on the altar, which instantly spontaneously combusted. Seeing this, the wizard on the side flew out of his leg directly, fast and ruthless. But the man flew out of the altar in a rounded parabola.

Someone in the crowd then shouted "The golden body of the spirit protection beads"

After a loud snap of his fingers, someone took the lead and rushed to the altar, and then the people also rushed up, and the guards who had been maintaining order also joined the crowd, and there was chaos on the altar.

And a wizard took advantage of the chaos and left the altar with the baby.
