While chanting a mantra, Li Tianshi waved the dust, and the two mages around him also followed and waved the dust up and down.

The dust is white, and the posture of several heavenly masters is free and easy, as if dancing, and the scene is very beautiful.

This is the first part of the puja, "Sending the Soul".

After sending the soul away, Li Tianshi put his palm up with one hand and put the dust on his wrist with the other, silent, as if he was using his divine sense to visit the surrounding movements. After a moment, he retracted his consciousness and walked towards the emperor, the queen mother, and the concubine:

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine, all the ghosts have been sent back to the underworld, but there are still ghosts lingering. Such remnants, if they are allowed to wander in the world, will inevitably harm one party. I saw that the evil demons that invaded the jade body of the concubine some time ago were also mixed with these ghosts, and fed on them, and became stronger and stronger. Now Xiaodao has come to ask His Majesty for advice, can you raise an altar to punish demons? ”

Chen Jianjun waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

Li Tianshi said: "Obey the holy decree!" Then he turned to a roadside and said, "Raise the altar and punish the demons!" ”

Immediately, a little Taoist boy placed a flat bronze basin on the ground in front of the statue.

Li Tianshi stood in front of the copper basin, his hands sealed, complicated and fast, and two mages in green clothes shook beside him to protect the Dharma.

"Taishang Laojun! Haste as a law! Where are the demons? ”

Li Tianshi waved his hands, and a flame suddenly rose out of thin air from the empty copper basin, the flame was fleeting, but there was a wisp of green smoke, which could not be dispersed, and floated towards the southeast.

The young man in green clothes pointed to the direction where the green smoke drifted with one hand: "The gods say that the monster is in the southeast, please wait for His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine Niangniang to wait, I will go and kill the demons, and I will come back to my life when the matter is over!" ”

Although Li Tianshi was over seventy years old, his skills were still agile, and he didn't know when he changed the dust whisk to a peachwood magic sword in his hand, and he was about to rush out of the hall in the direction indicated by Tong Zhenren.

Everyone in the hall was in an uproar, speculating about where the demon was hiding and whether it would be successfully killed.

Not far to the southeast of Lingji Palace is the incense pavilion.

According to the original plan, Li Tianshi and Tong Zhenren will rush straight into the Ning Xiang Pavilion, and Li Tianshi naturally has the means to make the demons "manifest" in the Ning Xiang Pavilion, making it difficult for Zhang Weizhao, who lives in the Ning Xiang Pavilion, to argue.

However, before Li Tianshi and the others walked to the door of the hall, they found a group of people coming in from outside the hall gate.

The person who started the head was in fluttering robes, with a jade crown and flowers, fluttering like a frightening dragon, holding a white jade whisk in his hand. She was followed by two pearl-like virgins, who held different ritual weapons in their hands.

The people who came were Zhang Weizhao, as well as Nanxing and Du Zhong.

Zhang Weizhao entered the hall, sealed with one hand, danced with the other hand, and said to Li Tianshi and the others:

"Heavenly Master Hugh should be in a hurry! The demon has been driven into the Lingji Palace by me, please kill the mage quickly with a sword! ”

The sudden appearance made Li Tianshi stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but stop.

He has lived in Xiyuan for so long, and he has only seen Zhang Weizhao once from afar. In Li Tianshi's impression, Zhang Weizhao was just a country girl in a Taoist robe, tanned, grinning, and unadorned. And the person in front of him, with a wide-sleeved long skirt and bright eyes and cherry lips, was like a Nine Heavens Xuannu descending, Li Tianshi was stunned for a while, and he didn't react that this was Zhang Weizhao coming to kick the hall.

The innocent man standing behind Li Tianshi saw the opportunity quickly and responded, "Who are you?" How can a meager mana drive a demon? Don't want to dodge it quickly? He hadn't seen Zhang Weizhao, but he felt that this woman was not good, so he came first to say something to deter.

"Since the innocent people see through the yin and yang, don't they see that the evil spirits have been driven into the temple magic circle, and they are tossing and turning, roaring and wailing, and making a final struggle?"

Zhang Weizhao said it very carefully, and everyone in the palace was taken aback.

Zhang Weizhao didn't wait for others to react, and then said loudly: "Please Your Majesty and Niangniang don't panic, wait for me to punish the demon!" As he spoke, he handed the dust whisk in his hand to Nanxing behind him, took the peachwood sword from her hand, and then walked straight to the altar, with a shake of his hand, a dazzling fire ignited from the copper basin, which was bigger and brighter than the flame that flashed out of Li Tianshi's hand just now.

Zhang Weizhao's crisp voice sounded immediately: "Duh! Evil is dead! ”

As he spoke, he spilled a handful of yellow paper talismans from his sleeve, and the peachwood sword in his hand immediately slashed at those talismans, but he saw that red blood stains appeared on those talismans, which was shocking.

The crowd of onlookers in the hall, including the Queen Mother and the Emperor, all gasped.

Zhang Weizhao received the sword behind him, raised a palm, and said: "Dust to dust, soil to earth, where did you come from, where are you going!" Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”

As Zhang Weizhao's voice fell, those talismans suddenly caught fire and spontaneously combusted, leaving only a handful of ashes on the ground.

Everyone in the hall was shocked by this scene and held their breath. But that's not all.

fluttering edges, suddenly there was a sound of flitting wings, there were two blue birds flying out from behind the curtain of the shrine, one left and one right stayed on Zhang Weizhao's shoulder, Zhang Weizhao muttered in his mouth, as if talking to them, and then the blue bird flapped its wings and flew up, passed through the temple gate, and went to the high sky.

After the blue bird flew away, Zhang Weizhao approached the emperor, the queen mother and the concubine, bowed and saluted, and then said:

"Today is the Midyear Festival, Xiaodao is worshipping the Queen Mother of the West in the incense hall, praying for the Queen Mother of the West to be generous, protect all beings, make the dead return to the underworld quickly, and make the souls of the living at peace. But he suddenly sensed the tremors of the qi veins around him, and Xiaodao was afraid that there would be evil spirits scattered in the palace, so he came out to check, but he was just catching up with the demons and escaping. Xiaodao saw that there was a magic circle in Lingji Palace, so he expelled the demons into the magic circle, and used the mana of the Queen Mother of the West to kill the demons. Now that the demons have been eliminated, the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West has also returned to Kunlun Mountain to resume his life. Please rest assured that Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are at ease! ”

Zhang Weizhao's words are not leaky.

The Queen Mother of the West is said to be the daughter of Pangu, according to the record of "The True Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty": "Mrs. Jiuguang of the Western Han Dynasty, the Qi of the First Yin, governs the West." Therefore, it is said that Mu Gong, Jin Mu, the god of heaven and earth, refining the essence, giving birth to all things, reconciling yin and yang, and the bright sun and moon, all of them can't help it. ”

In other words, the Queen Mother of the West is born from Yin Qi, presiding over Yin Qi, and is also the head of all the female immortals of Taoism, in charge of marriage and childbirth, and protecting women and children. Therefore, Zhang Weizhao, as Kundao, sacrificed to the Queen Mother of the West on the 15th of July, which is a reasonable thing. This can explain why Zhang Weizhao is draped in full and the magic weapons appear here. It can also explain why with the divine power of the Queen Mother of the West, the Yin Spirit Demon can be killed immediately, because this is the business of others.

As for the blue bird, it has been considered the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West since ancient times, so the flight of the blue bird in the end is the finishing touch.

As soon as Zhang Weizhao's words came out, others didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother opened her mouth first: "Okay!" On the 15th day of July, the miracle of the Queen Mother of the West appeared, and the Blue Bird messenger visited, which was really my blessing of great fire! With the protection of such a god with vast immortal power, what evil spirits and demon methods are you afraid of? Since the Queen Mother of Mengxi is so loved, I think it is better to set up a special hall in the Feixian Palace, and worship the Queen Mother of the West with flowers and fragrant fruits all the year round, what does the emperor think? ”

The Emperor smiled and said, "That's how good! ”

Just saw Li Tianshi and Tong Zhenren that they were making green smoke again, and said that the evil spirits were hiding, Chen Jianjun's mood was not very good.

Although he hoped that through this ritual, he would eliminate the encroachment of evil demons, make Jin Guifei's body better, and protect the safety of the entire imperial city, but when Li Tianshi was no longer satisfied with what he was doing in the temple, but wanted to go out of the Lingji Palace to punish demons with great fanfare, he began to feel unhappy in his heart. Wouldn't making such a big noise be tantamount to announcing to the world that there were evil spirits rampant in his imperial city? Will someone say in the next step that he is a kingless and that his luck will decline, which will lead to such a result?

Later, Zhang Weizhao said that he killed the evil spirit on the spot, and Chen Jianjun felt a little happier in his heart. Later, there was a blue bird, the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, and the blue bird means happiness and auspiciousness in both Taoist classics and folklore, so at this time, Chen Jianjun was completely rainy and sunny, and swept away the depression of Fang Cai.

He turned his head to Jin Guifei and said, "This time you have the blessing of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also your blessing. Now you can sleep peacefully. ”

Jin Guifei smiled and replied respectfully: "Yes!" I have the protection of His Majesty, and I am truly blessed. ”

Chen Jianjun was so relieved that he didn't notice how reluctant Jin Guifei's smile was.

Jin Guifei glanced coldly at Li Tianshi, who was standing on the side, and Li Tianshi lowered his head and was silent.

Zhang Weizhao suddenly broke in just now, and Li Tianshi was just stunned for a moment. But it was this stunned moment that made Zhang Weizhao take the lead and did the trick Li Tianshi wanted to do in advance.

The so-called raising hands to start fire, talisman chasing souls, and peach wood sword slashing blood are all secret methods in the Taoist ritual of exorcising ghosts and demons, and generally only high-level mages can do it proficiently, without revealing flaws, I don't know how Zhang Weizhao learned these techniques at a young age and a female streamer?

Not only learned, but even better than what he did as an old man. For example, in the section of the peach wood sword to cut blood, if Li Tianshi is asked to do it, after spilling the yellow table paper, then take holy water in his mouth, spray it on the paper, and then use the sword to cut it, so that the blood stains can be revealed. In fact, it is not the blood stains cut by the peachwood sword, it is the paper that has been coated with potion in advance, and the holy water in the mage's mouth also contains medicinal properties, and when the two meet, it will appear red, and the peachwood sword is just a gesture.

But Zhang Weizhao obviously didn't spray holy water, and he could cut the blood stains, and it was vivid, which made Li Tianshi feel angry, and at the same time he was very itchy to find out.

Not only that, Zhang Weizhao also added a new drama, that is, the section of the Blue Bird Message. Li Tianshi was sure that those birds were not the messengers of the Queen Mother of the West at all, but had been trained in advance and were used for drama today.
