Chapter 8 Midyear Festival!
Nie Xiaoqian, who was originally born in the family of the official eunuch, was killed by a traitor when she was passing by Lanruo Temple on a trip, so she was temporarily buried under the old tree by her father, and planned to come back after a while to take away the ashes, but what she didn't expect was that her father was also killed not long after! And the old tree is the dryad grandmother.
Grandma Dryad controls Nie Xiaoqian, for him/her? Seduce men so that they can absorb yang energy and improve their cultivation.
Situ Yi went through Nie Xiaoqian's origin in his mind, and suddenly remembered that during this period of time, didn't the tree demon grandma want to marry Nie Xiaoqian to the old demon of Montenegro? I don't know if it happened.
After Nie Xiaoqian returned to the room, the tree demon grandmother also came to the door, "Xiaoqian, have you seen that man?" What do you think? β
Nie Xiaoqian bowed to the tree demon grandma, bowed her head and said resignedly: "Back to grandma, that man doesn't seem to have anything unusual, he may know some Taoism, but he is definitely not profound. β
The tree demon grandmother pondered for a while, and said: "Xiaoqian, I have chosen a family business for you, the lord of Montenegro has the intention of taking a concubine recently, I have already told the lord of Montenegro, and he is also interested in you, so marry him in three days." β
In the original plot, the old demon of Montenegro lives in the underworld, has great power in the underworld, and is the king of demons. Its prototype is a huge black mountain cultivation refinement, with thousands of years of Taoism, no one is invincible, even the powerful tree demon grandma is afraid of three points, relying on his female ghost Nie Xiaoqian to win over the old demon of Montenegro.
Nie Xiaoqian is nominally the "fiancΓ©e" of the old demon of Montenegro, but in essence, she is a tool used by the tree spirit grandmother to curry favor with the old demon of Montenegro, marrying her to the powerful old demon to win favor and protection. Now the tree demon grandma marries Nie Xiaoqian to the old demon of Montenegro, the meaning is self-evident, on the one hand, she wants to get the protection of the old demon of Montenegro, and on the other hand, she wants to rely on this old demon of Montenegro to plan the so-called "baby" that can control the punishment of heaven!
Without mentioning how reluctant Nie Xiaoqian was, let's just say that Situ Yi, after seeing Nie Xiaoqian leave, sat in the pavilion, his eyes rolling wildly and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he left.
When he came to the place where he was drinking with Yan Chixia before, and saw Yan Chixia lying there like a dead corpse, Situ Yi shook his head and smiled, although the two had only known each other for two days, but it was too late to meet each other, and he couldn't watch Yan Chixia lying outside like this. With a wave of his hand, Yan Chixia's body suddenly floated and followed him.
After settling Yan Chixia, Situ Yi came to the room again, and as soon as he closed the door, a gust of evil wind hit behind him! He didn't dodge either, just letting the attack behind him fall on his shoulder. As soon as his heart moved, his divine consciousness gushed out, and he immediately bounced the person behind him away!
Situ Yi looked back and saw several skinny corpses standing in front of him! These dried corpses are all people who died at the hands of the tree demon grandmother, but they still have nostalgia for the world in their hearts, and the souls are unwilling to disperse. At best, it's just a lonely ghost.
It's just that they were victimized by the Dryad Grandma, and their bodies naturally carried the remnants of the Dryad Grandma's breath. It is this breath that keeps their souls locked in corpses, so that they can't be reincarnated or go out! That's why it has become such a person, not a ghost!
As for why the dryad also wants these spirits to be used by her subordinates? It's not because of anything else, it's because they're men! Yang energy, men are the worst! It's best to seduce with a female ghost! And ancient scholars, men, as long as the family is a well-off family, then they can't stop wanting to take concubines!
And scholars have a lot of contact with reading, and they also know the likes of fox wives and ghost concubines, and most of the books are described in happy endings, which makes scholars think that fox wives and ghost concubines are the "wealth" given by God to readers!
Looking at the dry corpse in front of him who wanted to come by himself, Situ Yi sneered and said, "How should I complain?" Walking so slowly, are you zombies? Zombies can also spread the virus, you can only kill people, it's really not as good as zombies! And I don't know whether to live or die! How dare you provoke me! It's better to let your souls fly! lest you harm others! β
With a casual move, a fire bonus sword suddenly appeared in the air! With a sigh~~~, a fire bonus sword stabbed towards the five dried corpses, and under a dazzling operation, the fire bonus sword directly skewered the five dried corpses into a gourd.
The stomachs of the five dried corpses were skewered through, and the wounds continued to emit foul-smelling white smoke, looking at the five dried corpses hanging on the sword with teeth and claws, Situ Yi smiled and said: "Aha~~~ Tomorrow morning is your death date, who is at ease to sleep for the last time!" As he spoke, he turned his fingers into a sword and pointed at it, and suddenly the sword was firmly nailed to the wall with five dried corpses.
Cadavers: MMP, don't we have to be faceless? Why is that? Isn't it common sense that we should be fed for the last meal? Why?
Vertical sun, early in the morning.
Yan Chixia talked about today's day when she had breakfast!
"Today is Olan's Day! Speaking of which, little brother, are you interested in catching evil ghosts with me today? β
Situ Yi was stunned, Yu Lan Festival? With an unknown meaning in his eyes, he looked at Yan Chixia and said, "Is it the Midyear Festival?" Seeing that Yan Chixia nodded inexplicably, Situ Yi continued: "I see that you are casting a law, like a Taoist priest, how can you call the festival according to the Buddhist system?" β
Every year on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the "Bon Festival", "Bon Festival", also known as the "Midyear Festival" (in a certain sense, the Midyear Festival belongs to Taoism, and the Bon Festival belongs to Buddhism), and in some places it is commonly known as the "Ghost Festival", "Shi Gu", also known as the Day of the Dead, and the half of July.
Taoism believes that the three basic elements that produce all things in heaven and earth are heaven, earth, and water, that is, the "three elements", and the three are called "officials", which are the segments in the flow of time and space. Emperor Ziwei of Tianguan blessed him and was born on the fifteenth day of the first month, called Shangyuan Festival. Emperor Qingxu pardoned sins, and was born on July 15, called the Zhongyuan Festival. Shuiguan Dongyin Emperor Xie Jiao, born on October 15, called the next Yuan Festival. The Lantern Festival we are familiar with is the Shangyuan Festival, or the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. During the Sanyuan Festival, the three officials parade through the lower realm and perform their duties. Their magic power is boundless, and the Emperor Qingxu of the Zhongyuan Dynasty purifies the lonely souls and wild ghosts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and the guilty can also pray to them for forgiveness. "Cultivation Records" cloud, "On the day of the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the local officials descended to determine the good and evil in the world, and the Taoist priests recited the scriptures at night, and the prisoners of hunger were also liberated. β
During the Zhongyuan Festival, the Taoist palace view holds the "Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao", commonly known as the "dojo", to pray for the people. It is the god seat of "Taishang Zhongyuan Seven Qi Forgiveness of Sins, Cave Lingqingxu Emperor, Equality and Benevolence of Tianzun" on the day hall, and it is widely displayed. Mao carving, the Taoist people heard the drum to the hall, and the teachers put on colorful cloud crane class clothes, ranking in the front row. Gao Gong wears the five old crowns, the golden lotus covers the top, wears the heavenly immortal robes, holds the dynasty Jane, and prefers incense and proclamation in the sound of bells and drums, calling "Celebrating the Dynasty", which opened the prelude to the festival. The general arrangement of the puja is that, in addition to reciting the "Xuanmen Lesson Sutra" in the morning and afternoon, the main thing is to worship the "Jade Emperor's Confession of Xifu Bao". In the evening, he recited "Feeding at the Flame Mouth of the Iron Can", surpassed the ancestor of the former feather and the aftermath, and purified the lonely souls of the ten directions.
July 15 is also the Buddhist Obon Festival. Obon, a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Ullam-bana. "Yulan", which means to hang upside down, describes the state of misery, and the basin refers to the vessel that holds offerings. Buddhism believes that this offering can relieve the suffering of deceased parents and relatives. Bon means "to untie the upside down".
