Chapter 15: Trickery
Kunlun Mountain is the origin of Chinese mythological stories. Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West lived here. In Taoist texts, Kunlun Mountain is sacrosanct and inviolable, and anyone who desecrates the sacred mountain will end up with a tragic death.
"The benevolent man pleases the mountain, and the wise man pleases the water."
In the continuous climbing, Ye Xuan and the others finally saw the mountains of Kunlun, the water of Kunlun, the clouds of Kunlun and the snow of Kunlun, which is the charm of Kunlun.
Because of the snow on Kunlun Mountain, the snow has not melted for thousands of years, and it is extremely cold, and Ye Xuan and the others are dressed like big bears one by one.
"Mr. Ye, do you think there are any immortals on this Kunlun Mountain?" Li Fugui asked in a low voice.
After entering Kunlun Mountain, Ye Xuan and the others didn't even dare to breathe for more than one breath, for fear of causing an avalanche on the top of the mountain and being buried alive here.
"I don't know!" After Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, he whispered: "You ask Wang Dao Chang, he is a member of the Dao Sect, and he may know something." ”
Wang Daochang hesitated slightly, "How do you say this?" ”
"Immortals are separated, close at hand, far away in the sky, immortals are cultivated by people. To be precise, cultivating the Tao and cultivating immortals are not the same, the goals and methods are different. But cultivation is the foundation of cultivating immortals. Immortal is the essence of "Tao", and the Tao is more profound and mysterious because of the immortal..."
"Now that I've said that, I'll say a few more words." On the spur of the moment, Wang Daochang continued:
"And immortals and Buddhas are also different, no matter how the Buddha cultivates, he is still reincarnated in the six realms, and the Buddha has to be reincarnated. And immortals can exist apart from the six realms, immortals have a world of immortals, and Buddhas have a world of Buddhas."
After listening to Wang Daochang's narration, Li Fugui and the others were still unsatisfied, and shouted one after another: "Wang Laodao, you can tell us a few more stories for me!" ”
"That's it, tell us a few exciting points."
……
"Do you really want to listen?" Wang Daochang was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know a lot of words, didn't he embarrass him?
In the end, Wang Daochang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and finally remembered a folk tale, he cleared his throat, "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was an evil young man named Li Hui in Beijing, he relied on his uncle to be an official in the court, and often caused trouble to the neighbors, although the people were resentful, but they were helpless. ”
On this day, Li Hui led his minions to wander the streets, and bumped into a foreign mother and daughter. When he saw that the young woman was as beautiful as a flower, he suddenly became lustful and wanted to come forward and flirt.
The girl was so frightened that she dodged again and again, and the old mother beside her was busy protecting her daughter and asked loudly, "Who are you!" Why is it so unreasonable, aren't you afraid of the king's law? ”
"Wang Fa? The little master is Wang Fa, dodge away" After saying that, Li Hui pushed her to the ground with a wave of his hand.
Then he pounced on the girl like a hungry wolf.
The girl ran away, after all, it was a three-inch golden lotus, extremely inflexible, and she was about to be caught up by the gangsters, so she stumbled and fell into the river on the side.
At this time, Li Hui ordered his subordinates to go to salvage like a mad dog.
But after much effort, and pulling the girl up, he realized that she had drowned.
Her mother was in pain, and grabbed Li Hui to go to see the official, Li Hui kicked her violently, and said: "Old woman, your daughter is looking for death by herself, she can't complain about me, get out!" And he walked away. Only the old woman crying and grabbing the ground was left, and a group of onlookers were left.
After that, the girl was too resentful to be reincarnated, so she painted a ghost to find Li Hui for revenge.
In the evening, Li Hui, who was bored in every way, sat in the private room of Baixian Building, listening to the play alone.
At this moment, there was the sound of light footsteps outside the door, and then there was the sound of the door opening softly, and a figure appeared in the doorway.
When he looked up, his face suddenly changed! At this moment, the one who pushed the door in turned out to be the girl who failed to flirt before and fell into the river and drowned.
The girl said quietly: "Childe, the slave family is wandering alone, so lonely." ”
Suddenly, the girl's face changed drastically, and she turned into a female ghost with a bloody face, with a cloak of hair, a bloody mouth, and residual blood dripping from her fangs, which was extremely terrifying!
I saw that the female ghost stretched out her long tongue and said coldly: "Master Li, let the slave family serve you well!" ”
Li Hui was so shocked that his liver and gall were broken, and before he could shout half a sentence, he fell to the ground.
However, just as the female ghost pounced in front of Li Hui, a golden light suddenly emitted from Li Hui's chest, bombarding the female ghost.
The female ghost screamed, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out from the crack in the door.
The next day, Li Hui was afraid that the girl had turned into a female ghost, so he came to him again, so he invited a Taoist priest from outside and asked him to clean up the female ghost.
Not to mention, the Taoist priest really had a set, and he went to the place where the girl's body was parked that night. I saw that he took out a scroll that had not been depicted from the bag behind him and began to trace it.
The painting depicts the girl who unfortunately fell into the river and died, and her soul.
The female ghost in the painting struggles frantically, as if trying to break free from the scroll.
A few lines of small characters loom on the picture scroll: five-star town color, light and darkness. Thousands of gods and saints, protect my true spirit. The giant beast subdues the five soldiers. Five days of the devil, dead and extinct. Wherever it is, all gods are welcome.
"Dao Chief, is this all right? The female ghost won't come to me again. Li Hui asked timidly.
"Don't worry, as long as this scroll is not destroyed, she will never want to come out."
The Taoist priest said, rolled up the scroll in his hand, and raised it in front of Li Hui.
"That's good! That's good. ”
At this time, Li Hui was completely relieved.
It may be that God favors this hard-working mother and daughter. A few days later, a heavenly fire suddenly fell from the sky and fell on the Taoist priest's Taoist temple, burning down his Taoist temple, but only a corner of the picture scroll was burned.
The missing corner of the scroll can no longer suppress the ghost of the girl who won it, because the last time she failed to succeed in asking for her life, but was suppressed in the scroll, the female ghost has increased her anger, and it is extremely terrifying.
In the Qinglou, Li Hui was doing things with a young lady, when suddenly there was a chill on his back.
Li Hui turned around suddenly, only to see a terrible female ghost behind him, who was about to stretch out her dead-white, dead-white hands and pinch his neck.
He wanted to scream, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't scream.
And the young lady of the Qinglou was scared to death on the spot.
That night, the owner of the Qinglou reported to the official, saying that Li Hui and a lady in the Qinglou died violently in his shop, and the cause of death was unknown. Nothing.
Moreover, there was no news of the minions sent by Li Hui, and more than ten people disappeared out of thin air, and the case became a headless unsolved case.
When the people heard of this, they rejoiced.
