Chapter Fifty-Nine: Transcending the Wronged Soul

A group of six people first worshiped the old man's soul, burned paper money, incense and candles, and after Zen Master Kongming recited the scriptures, everyone came to the joint tomb of Zheng Hao and Shen Lu.

It was a luxurious joint burial tomb, and it is estimated that the family of the deceased contributed a lot of money for it. In front of the tombstone, there is a circle of verdant pines and cypresses, and the tombstone is inlaid with a wedding photo, in which the handsome Zheng Hao and the beautiful Shen Lu are sweet and affectionate. This wedding photo, which was supposed to be a happy one, appeared on the tombstone, giving people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Li Bing and Zhao Wan lit incense candles and offered two flower blue in front of the tombstone respectively, and then lit the paper money, and everyone knelt down in front of the tombstone one by one, all with a pious expression, keeping in mind what Zhang Yuanshan said about the teaching of 'the dead are great', and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

At this time, Zen Master Kongming was already sitting on the ground in front of the tombstone, twisting the Buddha beads in his hand, and reciting the Sutra of "Pulling Out All Karma and Giving Birth to the Pure Land Dharani Sutra" with his eyes closed.

Zhao Wan'er asked Zhang Yuanshan quietly: "Brother Zhang, why was it not so grand in front of the old man's tomb just now?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan sighed, signaled Zhao Wan'er to whisper, don't alarm and anger the undead, and whispered in her ear: "Miss Zhao, you will understand the mystery of this." The old man, although he also died accidentally, his soul did not gather, so he only appeared as a ghost, but he could not become a climate. The two in front of them are different, one is that they both died unexpectedly, and the other is that the prospective groom, in fact, was killed because he cheated and annoyed the ghost of the bride-to-be who had died, so their grievances were heavier, and Master Kongming had to recite the Sutra of Transcendence several times to eliminate their grievances and reincarnate. ”

As he spoke, Zen Master Kongming slowly stood up, clasped his hands together, and told everyone that he had already recited the Dharani Sutra twenty-one times, and that he would just wait for it to get late and recite it twenty-one more times.

The crowd was amazed and asked why they were reciting this sutra again at night. Zen Master Kongming said slowly: "This Dharani Sutra, 21 times day and night, can destroy the five rebellions, the ten evils, slander and other serious sins, and after death, you can be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Bliss. ”

Everyone was silent, knowing that it was an extremely difficult afternoon, and they had to stay alive in this gloomy cemetery until dark.

Zhang Yuanshan led everyone to a pavilion where the worshippers rested, and from time to time he made some jokes to dispel everyone's anxiety, while Zen Master Kongming closed his eyes and meditated.

Finally survived until sunset, the sky in the cemetery seemed to darken faster than elsewhere, and there was no trace of people around, only the rows of tombstones and the shadows of pines and cypresses that seemed to be longing for people could be faintly seen.

After offering incense and candles again, Master Kongming began to continue reciting the Dharani Sutra, and by the time he finished his last recitation, he was almost completely out of sight. When Zen Master Kong Ming stood up, everyone felt as if a burst of yin qi was coming around them, and the pines and cypresses around them shook lightly a few times.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yuanshan, a group of six people left the cemetery quickly, got into the car, and drove in the direction of the town hotel.

When they just drove out of the cemetery, except for Zen Master Kongming, several others were surprised to find that under the street lamp where the car had just passed, Zheng Hao and Shen Lu were hugging each other side by side intimately, and kept waving in the direction of the car.

Several people were shocked, only Zhang Yuanshan said calmly: "Don't panic, this is the merit of Zen Master Kongming's chanting, this ghost couple has released their grievances and is about to enter the underworld, they are waving their hands to express their gratitude to us." ”

Only then did everyone settle down and sigh, wishing these two ghost couples to be reincarnated as soon as possible and renew their relationship in the next life.

The next night, according to the instructions of Zen Master Kongming, everyone bought a lot of sacrifices and came to the place where Shi Liya was unconscious that night, that is, the place where Shen Lu was killed on the bus last year.

Just when everyone else wanted to help arrange the sacrifices, Zhang Yuanshan stopped everyone, and he said with a solemn expression: "Tonight's ritual, commonly known as 'ghost food', is to prevent those wandering ghosts from starving and freezing, so that they can eliminate their grievances and return to the underworld. But none of you can come forward, so you can only go by me and Master Kongming. ”

The crowd was amazed and asked, why? Zhang Yuanshan replied: "When giving 'ghost food', if there are hungry ghosts who can't get alms, they will definitely be angry with others and possess themselves to the person who gives alms, and their good intentions will do bad things. Therefore, the people who can give 'ghost food' can be monks, the second can be Taoist priests, the third is people with high morals, and the fourth is people with strong yang energy. None of you can go, just in case. ”

Everyone nodded and said, Zhang Yuanshan didn't say more, and Zen Master Kongming lifted a large bag of sacrifices, came to the ravine where Shi Liya said that she saw the bus that had an accident, and set up the sacrifices on the road, and then recited a charm by Zhang Yuanshankou, inviting the souls who died here to come and receive it, and Zen Master Kongming kept chanting on the side.

After a while, I felt a gust of yin wind, which seemed to be mixed with some voices, but the voice was extremely ethereal. I don't know how long it took, but I heard Zhang Yuanshan shouting: "Souls, enjoy the sacrifices, return to the underworld quickly, go!" ”

With a wave of Zhang Yuanshan's hand, the gust of wind disappeared in an instant. Zhang Yuanshan walked over, picked up the Kongming Zen Master who was sitting underground, turned around and smiled at everyone and said, "It's okay, let's go back!" ”

The third day of the meeting with the ghost of Ruizhu finally came, although there were Zen Master Kong Ming and Zhang Yuanshan, everyone was still nervous, for fear that the ghost would rebel and not be trustworthy.

Zen Master Kong Ming smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master once told me that ghosts are the most trustworthy. Those who do not keep their word are the people of the world. As long as you fulfill all the conditions you promised her, then her unjust soul will fulfill her promise and return to the underworld to reincarnate, and she will no longer embarrass you! Wonderful! ”

Everyone was relieved, and the group still prepared a large bag of sacrifices, ready to come and wait for the arrival of Ruizhu's soul.

Zhao Wan'er said suddenly: "Let's not wait at the hotel, I suggest that we rush to the Yan family's tomb now to wait for Ruizhu." ”

Li Bing was shocked and asked why? Zhao Wan'er sighed and said, "Do you remember the last time the old man said that when he was a child, he shepherded sheep and saw a woman in ancient costume playing the flute in front of the Shan Feng wordless monument, right?" And Brother Li, you, Brother Zhang, and Brother Qian, when they first entered the tomb of the Yan family, they did see the bamboo flute on the bones in the coffin. I think that this ghost may be when Yan's mother was buried, in order to set up a suspicious grave and cover people's eyes, it is very likely to force a little palace maid to death, pretending to be the corpse of Yan's mother. Therefore, this palace maid is miserable enough, and the ghost can't be reborn. I want to ask Zen Master Kongming to overtake the ghost of the palace maid together, which should be a great merit. ”

Qian Yiduo asked hesitantly, "Although Miss Zhao is a bodhisattva, what if Ruizhu's ghost came here and found that we were not there, thinking that we had deceived her?" Wouldn't our situation be even more dangerous? ”

Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said: "Miss Zhao, you are kind-hearted, he will be blessed in the future!" Don't worry, don't forget, Rui Zhu is a ghost and not a person, since she made a three-day covenant with us, then she will naturally be able to find our traces, no matter where we are, as soon as the time comes, she will appear in front of us. ”

After everyone agreed, they saw that it was getting late, and then drove to Yan's tomb.

Zhang Yuanshan put the sacrifice in front of the single phoenix wordless monument, lit incense candles and paper money, and after a while, something that surprised them but expected appeared, and two women in ancient costumes appeared on the left and right sides of the single phoenix wordless monument erected by Ming Taizu.

Rui Zhu's pale face was completely devoid of anger, and she leaned over and said to the group: "Thank you, the little girl's revenge has been avenged, and she has been wronged." ”

The two female ghosts in ancient costumes bowed to the Kongming Zen Master a few times at the same time, and said gratefully: "Thank you master for chanting the scriptures for us, now the grievances in the world are over, farewell to the master, we will go to the underworld and reincarnate as a human being!" ”

After finishing speaking, two green lights flashed, and the two female ghosts suddenly disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Everyone hurried back to the car, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief, the curse of death that had been pressing on their hearts was finally broken, and the joy in their hearts was revealed in their stretched smiles.

Back in town, although I was a little hungry, no one offered to eat supper, and everyone washed up early and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Li Bing took out the 'Finger Blood Heart Sutra' and returned it to Zen Master Kongming, and asked Qian Yiduo to drive his borrowed off-road vehicle to send Zen Master Kongming back to Qixia Ancient Temple in Nanjing, while he and Zhao Wan'er, Zhang Yuanshan, and Shi Liya drove the off-road vehicle of Guangming Company to Qianling, Shaanxi, and made an appointment with Qian Yiduo to meet in Qianling.
