Chapter Forty-Seven: Death in the City
There are only three days left before the next metaverse.
On the next Yuan Festival, the water official relieved the misfortune. Taoism worships the three gods of heaven, earth and water, also known as the three officials, and the water official is one of them. Daozang said that the name of the water official was Xia Yuan Sanpin Jie Shui Guan, the Emperor of Dongyin, and belonged to the Taiqing Realm. The water official is composed of the spirit of the wind and the essence of Chenhao, and is the chief of the great gods in the water. Every October 15th, that is, he will come to the world, abstain from sins and blessings, and be a human being
Disaster mitigation.
On this day in previous years, the villagers in the waters of the Yellow River would prepare sacrificial supplies and go to the water's edge to pray for blessings.
But this year is different, the village has already issued a notice that there will be a big mess in the Yellow River on this day, and everyone is not allowed to go near the water. As for what kind of mess, the government did not elaborate, only hinting that it was related to Kowloon Caves.
After the notice came down, rumors spread for a while, some people said that there were too many dead resentful souls in the Nine Dragon Caves, and the mountain gods of Funiu Mountain were no longer able to suppress them, so I was afraid that they would come out to make trouble, otherwise there would not be so many Taoist priests on our side out of thin air in the past few days.
Some people also say that the black water of the Nine Dragons Cave is smelly, and the eye of the river is about to collapse, which will bring a plague to the people at that time.
No one may believe the haunting spirits yet, but after the spread of the plague, the residents of the Kowloon Cave have begun to evacuate.
At first it was one or two, and then almost the entire village was relocated. In such a large-scale panic among the people, the government did not come out to refute the rumors, but instead guided and resettled those villagers who had relocated from the same control as during the floods. The villagers realized that the Nine Dragons Grottoes might really have an accident, and it would be affected
The force has spread severely, and people have begun to move out of our village.
My father and mother asked me if I had heard any rumors in the Taoist temple, but I didn't dare to tell the truth, I just asked them to move with everyone.
The next Yuan Festival is going to be a big mess, and I was also worried about the safety of the people around me at the beginning. After seeing Jiang Xueyang and Lu Chun's fighting methods, I can be regarded as knowing the methods of Mendana.
If there is a real fight, it will undoubtedly be an earth-shattering disaster for the people of the Dharma era.
And it's not just the Dao Gate, but also the Demon Dao.
The devil has no class, and the ghosts, ghosts, mountain spirits, and wild monsters may collectively come out to cause trouble, and there is also a Yellow River Niangniang who broke the army's life and killed the unparalleled.
I vaguely feel that this battle will not be smaller than the original Taoist priest's interception and killing of Kowloon.
When Xie Liuyun intercepted and killed Kowloon, there was also the flooding of the Yellow River as a cover, but this time the Yellow River was calm and calm, and if you want to avoid harming the livelihood of the people on both sides of the strait, you can only rely on the government to evacuate.
Fortunately, the state also has a corresponding organization to deal with these supernatural events.
When I moved, my father and mother asked me why I didn't go together, and I couldn't think of a reason, so I told them that I was waiting for my sister-in-law. With her protecting me, I'm okay if I stay at home.
When I said this, my family stopped trying to persuade me. There must be a way to solve the matter in the Yellow River, I am her husband, and she will definitely protect me. I stood at the entrance of the village and watched my father and mother leave in the resettlement vehicle. When they were gone, I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with my sleeve, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction they had left
and go home alone. It was probably the last time I saw my family, and I had a deep conversation with my brother the night before. I told my brother that if I was not there when they came back, I would leave with Huanghe Niangniang, and I asked him to take good care of my father, don't
Remember me.
My father's and mother's nurturing grace, I don't know if I have a chance to repay it in this life. The next Yuan Festival is my mortal calamity, no matter whose life the white old ghost steals for me, I can't avoid it.
I thought about leaving, but there were too many things I couldn't let go. The heart has always been the heart of the guest, but the person is the insider.
I didn't go anywhere for the last three days, I stayed at home and waited, and some people would come to me on their own even if I didn't go to them.
It's just that I didn't expect that the first person to come to me would be Huixiang, it's been a long time. Hui Xiang means a lot to me, she made me believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world.
Hui Xiang came from the city of vain death, just to bring me the news that the old white ghost has been in the city of vain death these days.
I asked her what the old white ghost was doing there, and Hui Xiang said that he didn't know, only that the city of vain death had not been peaceful recently, and that those people from the previous Demon Dao were gathering, and the scale had already attracted the attention of the Ten Palaces Yan Jun.
According to folklore, the city of the dead is a city created in hell by the ghosts of the ghosts who died in the unjustified disaster. Although the city of vain death is also in the Yin Division, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, nor is it within the jurisdiction of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor. It's only occasionally that when someone from the Yin Division investigates the case and determines the cause and effect, they will go to the dead city to interrogate the resentful souls, for example, the judge of the sun patrol was in vain
Hui Xiang was interrogated in the dead city.
In addition to those who died unjustly before their longevity, there is also a very special group of people living in the city of vain, demonic cultivators.
As we all know, if a master of the Taoist sect has a clear heart and merits, after death is not called death, but is called nirvana.
The so-called nirvana refers to non-birth, and pan refers to immortality.
After Nirvana, he ascended to the ancestral courts of various Taoist sects, recorded the roster, and directly sought rebirth in the yang world, or directly stayed in the ancestral court to condense the spirit body and continue to practice. After the Demon Dao Patriarch died in battle, because the Nameless Palace of the Demon Dao Ancestral Court was destroyed, and the Ancestral Court did not exist, those cultivators who believed in the Demon Dao doctrine had nowhere to go after their deaths, and most of them went to the City of Death. After death, there is no sustenance, and he is a person of nirvana
, the city of the dead is also their best place.
Although the city of the dead is miserable, it cannot be worshiped by the incense of the world, and it cannot be returned to the sun on the Midyear Festival, but it is much better than being destroyed in the earthly world. Originally, I had always wondered where the Demon Dao had the confidence to bring the broken army directly to the table, because in the era of the end of the law, there were very few people in the world who were profound, and the hidden Demon Dao cultivators among them were definitely not the opponents of the Dao Sect. All major highways, no matter what
Manpower, wealth, and resources are not comparable to the Yin people's scattered cultivation. Now that I heard Huixiang say that the white old ghost went to the city of vain, I understand a little bit in my heart. If you want to compete with the Daomen, the Demon Dao must send troops from the city of vain death. It's just that although this vain dead city is not under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, it has been surrounded by the heavy troops of the Yin Division.
After all, the death of the Demon Dao Patriarch back then was directly related to Yin Si, and it was a question whether the old white ghost could bring out the Demon Dao forces in the Vain Death City. It's a pity that although Huixiang is a great troublemaker in the world, she is just a little ghost in the city of vain, and she doesn't know much about it. This time, she was able to return the yang and spread the word, or because she was married to the son of my distant relative, otherwise she would have died in vain
I can't get out either.
"Xie Lan, in fact, I should really thank you, it's not that you and I don't even have the qualifications to enter the City of the Dead. I know that your identity is not simple, and it is not accessible to people like me before and after death. Huixiang said.
"The blessed life is immeasurable, and all living beings are equal, educated, and classless. In my eyes, there is no difference between you and me. I casually uttered something unfamiliar, almost instinctively.
"Hehe, no wonder so many people in the dead city bet that you are the one. Xie Lan, live well, I can offer you a tablet in the city of vain death, but I don't want to see you in the city of vain death one day. ”
……
The second person who came to me was my sister, she didn't come empty-handed, she came to give me the water sword.
"The Nine Dragons Cave has become a settlement in the Xia Yuan Festival, and I am not worried that anyone will hit your attention now, your life experience can only be found by yourself, and then you will go down with the water dividing sword." Shi Niang said to me.
"Master, did you already know that Uncle Bai went to the City of Death, and you said before that he was not in the world."
"Yes, he went to the City of the Dead, and as for why, you must understand it by now. Xie Lan, can I ask you for one thing? ”
"Say it."
"Whether you are seven kills or not, I hope you don't hate him, he has no malice towards you from beginning to end. The reason why I hide a lot of things from you is also a last resort. ”
"I understand, if Uncle Bai didn't steal my life for me, how could there be me Xie Lan in the world."
After Huixiang and my sister came, no one came to me again.
It wasn't until the last night, when I was playing with the water-splitting sword at home, that my sister-in-law finally came to me.
There is no doubt that she is a broken army, and the white old ghost's strategy in the city of vain death has confirmed the identity of the greedy wolf, and now there is only one last question left, am I seven kills.
I once spat out the mantra of seven killings, and it is reasonable to say that I am seven killings. But if I really have seven killings, then why do I have a sense of the past after seeing the portrait of the Taoist priest?
There is only one life, and no matter how capable the old white ghost is, it is impossible to steal the lives of two people for me! There is a question that has been buried in my heart for a long time, and this time I am going to ask it when I see my sister-in-law.
