Chapter 131: Fishing for the Heart
Buddhism and Taoism all talk about practice, the difference is that Buddhist practice relies on the faith of believers, the more believers, the stronger the mana, and the best to recruit believers in the peaceful and prosperous times, so Buddhism is widely spread in the peaceful and prosperous times, such as the Tang Dynasty; Taoist practice comes from heaven and earth, heaven and earth are immortal, and Taoism is eternal, and in the troubled times, the war is raging, the wandering spirits are everywhere, the demons are frequent, a black smoke miasma, the heaven and earth are polluted, and the Taoist priest has to go out of the mountain to clear the universe, and wait for the world to be stable and then hide in the mountains to cultivate, such as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then such as the Song and Yuan Dynasty between the true Tao.
Therefore, there is such a sentence, the monk is in trouble, and the Taoist is in trouble.
Taoist cultivation is for the cultivation of truth, the human body is a container, the size of the container determines the quality of talent, Huang Yunqiu was taken off, it was like drilling a hole in this container, so that the things contained in the container gradually leaked.
Cui Jue has removed Huang Yunqiu's name from the book of life and death, since then there is no Huang Yunqiu in the Yin Si records, she still has half an hour, we still have a way to remedy, busy helping Huang Yunqiu to walk outside the City God Temple, only a few steps, the local City God Ma Yuzhen stopped me, "Mr. Niu is so capable, he actually pulled me into the water, I was deceived by you in the Ma family last time, your document is simply fake, otherwise how could Cui Fujun pull you down for trial?" Although you escaped Cui Fujun's judgment this time, as soon as Cui Fujun leaves, as long as you are still in the Enshi realm, then we have to have a good exchange......
We are in a hurry to leave here now, where do we have time to talk to him, I only glanced back at him, and said, "Lao Tzu's name is Sun Qing, you go to the Sichuan-Chongqing Yin Division to inquire, from the judge to the land, who doesn't know me." After speaking, he took out the document on his body and threw it directly to Ma Yuzhen, "See clearly, I am the Sidian of Fengxian City, and after reading it, I will obediently send the document to the Zhao family, and I will pick it up." ”
After speaking, he helped Huang Yunqiu to leave quickly, and threw out the document just for fear that this Ma Yuzhen would deliberately obstruct it, although I have not been to Fengxian City to serve, but I have not received the document of resignation, which shows that this document is still effective. Besides, there are not many people who know that the old man who bet with me is the Emperor Dongyue, and not many people know that he has done it against Dongyue, and there will not be too many people who target me.
Ma Yuzhen opened the paperwork and looked at it, his eyes changed immediately, but before he could say anything, we had already left the City God Temple.
Leaving the City God Temple, all the way towards the Ghost Gate, because there is a long distance, it is almost impossible to return to the yang world in half an hour, only a few steps, Huang Yunqiu lost another wisp of soul on her body, and she breathed in pain, I asked, "Is there any way to remedy it temporarily?" There is only half an hour, and we do not fight to return to the yang world. ”
Huang Yunqiu gritted his teeth and insisted, saying, "Turn your heart boy, find him to turn his heart!" ”
Huang Yunqiu reminded me that I suddenly remembered, isn't the boy who turns his heart just to gamble with others, if I win him, he will lose a heart to us, and then it will be okay to give Huang Yunqiu.
Yuan Shouyi and I also understood, why Huang Yunqiu would accept the punishment of heart-picking so calmly, the punishment has been implemented, and there will be no one like her in the book of life and death in the future, naturally she is not a sinner, and no one will come to hunt her down, and she can win a heart from the heart-turning boy.
We hurriedly walked towards a dark and uninhabited forest around here, where the trees were not the trees we see every day, but the iron trees that glowed with metal, and I was so surprised that I muttered, "How did these iron trees grow?" ”
Yuan Shouyi helped Huang Yunqiu sit down first, and replied to me casually, "Someone used to make a bet with Yin Si, and the bet was on the blossoming of the iron tree, but this bet has nothing to do with us, and the person related to the gambling contract has not been born yet." ”
I sighed, the land of Shenzhou is mysterious and impermanent, there are many strange things that we have not seen and heard of, and we will not ask more, Huang Yunqiu sat down and turned up her belongings, she is a Taoist priest, and she carries copper coins and cinnabar and other items, but she rummaged for a while, but she did not find the red rope.
Looking left and right, I saw that there were a lot of white cloths tied to these iron trees, so I went to fetch a few, Huang Yunqiu quickly rolled the white cloth into a rope, and then used cinnabar to smear the rope into red and handed it to me.
I walked to the side and sat down in a five-hearted posture, recited the Eight Great Mantras several times, and then turned up the flower rope, and after a short time, I only felt cold in front of me, and a smooth boy squatted in front of me and stretched out his hand to the rope in my hand.
As soon as I reached over, I saw my face and retracted my hand again, "Why are you again?" ”
The last time I asked him to turn over the flower rope, he naturally recognized me, and when he recognized me, I smiled, "Don't you turn it?" ”
The boy looked at the rope in my hand and made a difficulty, and it took about ten seconds before he said, "I can't turn over you, I haven't had time to study new tricks, and next time I have a new way to turn with you, what do you want this time?" ”
I said, "Give me your best heart." ”
He glanced at Huang Yunqiu who was sitting next to him, don't look at him as just a child, maybe he is older than Yuan Shouyi, he is very smart, and immediately understood the purpose of my heart, and said, "This is Yin Si, if I come with my heart, they will arrest me, I don't have any on me, you can go back to the yang world with me, I will give it to you." ”
We didn't have time to wait until we returned to the sun to find him, so we said, "Are you trying to cheat?" Since you admit defeat, you have to give it to us now, otherwise you will be a despicable and shameless villain, and when we go back to the yang world, tell those storytellers about you, and let them spread it to you, and see who dares to gamble with you in the future. ”
The heart-turning boy's face twitched, and then he frowned and said, "The most shameless person I have ever met is called Liu Cheng, he deceived a lot of hearts from me, you are so young, even more shameless than him." As he spoke, he pointed in one direction of the Iron Grove and said, "There is a pot of torture for five minutes there, it has been abolished because it is too cruel, and now there is only one pot there, and many ghosts have been pushed down of that pit. The hearts of the people in the basin are dirty, and it just so happens that the poisonous snakes in the basin don't eat dirty things, but eat the rest of those souls, leaving the hearts of the yin souls, you can go there and pick one up for her, but the hearts there are the hearts of some extremely vicious people, and they are certainly not good intentions. ”
Legend has it that the king of Shang and Su Daji invented the punishment of the basin, which is to dig a pit full of poisonous snakes, and then strip the person who made the mistake and throw it into the pit to feed the poisonous snake.
I've only heard of this kind of punishment, but I didn't expect that Yin Si still exists, but fortunately it has been abolished, otherwise this punishment would be even more cruel than heart plucking.
Because of the delay, Huang Yunqiu now has less than twenty minutes left, and all the souls on his body are gone, and he hesitated and asked, "Is there still a snake in the basin?" ”
The heart-turning boy nodded, "Yes, the pit is full of snakes. ”
Huang Yunqiu said to me after hearing this, "Forget it, life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, my life should be extinguished, go back to the yang world." ”
Huang Yunqiu helped me so much, how could I watch her dissipate little by little, gritted her teeth and stood up and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go to the basin to help you find a heart." ”
As he spoke, let this heart-turning boy take me over, and just as I was about to get up, Liu Cheng's voice came from my ears, "I am in the Chinese medicine shop, and now I will teach you 'snake art', you listen carefully." ”
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and followed the heart-turner to the end of the forest without saying a word, during which I kept hearing Liu Cheng's voice in my ears, and I listened silently.
Because of Niu Huigu, I can not only distinguish yin and yang, but my memory has also become surprisingly good, and I have roughly written it down after Liu Cheng finished speaking.
After walking for about five minutes, I really saw a deep pit of about four or five meters at the end of the iron forest, and there was a big pit of about ten meters long, and the pit was filled with bursts of white mist, and we arrived at the edge of the pit, and were immediately smoked back by the stench in the pit, during which a trace of white mist touched my hand, and my hand was immediately scalded out of a small hole, and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth.
The boy said, "These are the most poisonous snakes, and the poisonous gas emitted from the poisonous snakes floating on them will be eroded away at all times, I think you can't go down, that woman's heart is gone, and she won't live long, I think it's better to forget it, and I'll compensate you for a heart when I go back to the yang world." ”
I looked at him and said, "If she leaves, why do I have so much heart?" Is it used to eat? After speaking, he directly raised his fingers and said, "One snake fishing, sent to the back of the Wannian Mountain, two falling snakes, sent to the back of the Wannian Mountain, three falling snakes, the disciple has a mouthful of the wind, blowing down the snakes, never returning, I am in a hurry as the law!" ”
This is what Liu Cheng taught me just now, and it's called the 'Snake Qi Collecting Spell'.
After reciting, the boy looked at me stunned, my head was slightly dizzy, fortunately I don't need too much true qi in this spell, otherwise I will definitely not be able to consume it, and then blow on this big pit after reading, a small bite, but it seems to blow a strong wind, and instantly blow the poisonous gas in the pit away, revealing the scene in the pit.
