Chapter Forty-Nine: The Soul Suppression Banner

"Wild sheep Taoist?" Fei Mo looked at the old goat's beard, and his small round eyes did have a goat's face, and he couldn't help but smile and looked at the spirit banner in the hand of the wild sheep Taoist, which was really funny.

Fei Mo could still hold back, Long Ziyan didn't have any scruples but bent down with a smile, and finally stood up and said to the wild sheep Taoist: "Wild sheep Taoist, who gave you such a funny name, it's really funny to me." ”

When the wild sheep Taoist saw Long Ziyan and a child laughing at him, his face suddenly couldn't hold back a little angrily and said: "What can I do, the Dao number given by my master." Seeing that Mu Ziyi didn't laugh at his appearance, the Wild Sheep Daoist pulled the shabby Dao robe on his body, and then straightened his messy hair to try to make himself look more elegant.

Long Ziyan saw that the wild sheep Taoist was very good at talking and ridiculed him: "I said the goat Taoist"

The wild sheep Taoist coughed loudly and interrupted Long Ziyan and said, "What kind of goat, the poor road road number wild sheep, is it a wild sheep, do you understand?" ”

Only then did Long Ziyan change his tone and continue: "I said Wild Sheep Daoist, are you not pleasing to your master, otherwise why would you be given such a Taoist name?"

The wild sheep Taoist struck the ground with the spirit banner and said loudly: "Hugh is talking nonsense, the family teacher is not waiting to chew the root of the tongue." After speaking, the Wild Sheep Daoist no longer peeked at Mu Ziyi, but lowered his head and was silent and did not speak, as if he had fallen into a memory.

Long Ziyan looked at the look of the wild sheep Taoist and asked Mu Ziyi in a low voice: "Aunt Ziyi, did I say something wrong?"

Mu Ziyi looked at the Wild Sheep Daoist who was still silent and shook his head and spoke: "I don't know, but it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Wild Sheep Daoist in the Yin Walking People is an outcast who defected from Maoshan Mountain." ”

Fei Mo and Long Ziyan glanced at each other, and then they realized that the wild sheep Taoist in front of him was really a genuine Taoist priest, and he was also a Taoist priest who came out of Maoshan Mountain, one of the two giants of Taoism.

The Wild Sheep Daoist didn't know when he had recovered his previous appearance, looking at Fei Mo and Long Ziyan in surprise, he looked at himself and waved his hand generously and said, "Maoshan? That's all in the past, your Wild Sheep Daoist has long been out of the way with those cow-nosed veterans." ”

After speaking, the wild sheep Taoist took the spirit banner and shook it to Long Ziyan and Feimo to scare them: "Now that you know how powerful the Taoist master is, I will receive your soul into this spirit banner and be a little ghost." Long Ziyan and Fei listened silently to the threat of the Wild Sheep Daoist, and did not care about it, but became interested in the spirit banner held by the Wild Sheep Daoist.

If you want to talk about the spirit flag, Fei Mo and Long Ziyan have seen a lot. When an old man dies in an ordinary family, there are often Taoist priests who hold this soul flag to lure the soul, and when the funeral is held, there will be a filial son in front of the team to guide his deceased relatives back to the place of the final soul.

It is recorded in ancient books that at the beginning of the establishment of Taoism, near the empty space of the altar, a long pole was erected, the banner was expected to be raised, the dome was enlightened, and all the spirits were announced, so that the ghosts and gods could be seen from afar. There are many types of flags, according to the "Lingbao Immeasurable People Sutra Dafa", there are flags that attract souls and bright light, flags that catch souls and caves, and flags that draw well. There are twenty-four kinds of flags for the Jade Emperor's forgiveness of sins. However, according to the Southern Song Dynasty Taoist Jin Yunzhong, there are only two types of ancient flags, namely Qianshen and Huiyao.

The treasure flag of the god is seven feet or forty-nine feet in silk, and a banner is made, and the cinnabar female and yellow are studied together, the sun and the moon are shaped at the head of the flag, and the name of the book is on the body of the flag, and the book in the left hand is concealed within three days, and the right hand is hidden for three days. When the dead soul saw this, the offense was relieved, and the god moved to the South Palace, which was commonly used in later generations to appease the dead soul.

It is said that in the last century, how many good men of our brave soldiers buried their bones in order to protect their families and defend the country, in exchange for this peaceful and prosperous era, although there was no way to let them return to their roots to send them back to their hometowns, and later stabilized and did not forget their warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country, and sent a large number of Taoist monks and monks to pull them to their burial places with large trucks, not only brought back their bodies, but also recalled their souls so that they could rest in their hometown. At that time, it was this spirit flag that was used to recall the souls of our soldiers, and the Taoist monks held the spirit flags on the truck to guide the souls of the heroes, and took them back to their homeland step by step. Even because of the large number of heroic souls, it once showed a miracle, which was seen by many ordinary people, that is, the Yin soldiers who are often mentioned in some places to cross the border.

Let's talk about the second Huiyao of this ancient flag, the Huiyao Lingqi is made of white and yellow, the length of the banner is 24 feet or 49 feet, and the body of the banner is written with the full number of Qingxuan. The left-legged book is too slightly back to the yellow flag, and there is no heroic spirit flag. The right-footed book summons the Long Night Mansion and opens the soul to be born. The left hand is full of clouds, and the right hand is full of merit. Hang under the altar with a long rod, let the wind blow, the ghosts of the ten directions, see this spirit flag, a thought of refuge, then the dream of the birth of the obstacle of sin, should be eliminated in time, so that the mortal sin of dust, all can be removed, the south palace of the upper life, the hell Kaitai, the resurrection of the soul.

The purpose of using the Returning Spirit Banner in the Dharma is to eliminate the sins of the deceased, so that the departed souls can suffer less in the underworld and enter reincarnation earlier. This is the same as the monk in the empty door who practices things and recites sutras to surpass the soul of the dead, so that the soul can ascend to bliss as soon as possible.

And the most strange thing is that the Ming Dynasty's "Emperor to the Tao Taiqing Jade Book" believes that the flags of the world system are all topped by lotus leaves and pendants by lotus flowers. Therefore, Zhu Quan is more ancient system, the top of the banner is made of the wood of Tongzi, the sun, the moon and the stars are used on the clouds, and the heaven is painted in two, and the sky is also tabled. The name of the Emperor of Heaven is written on the belly, and the feet are all dragons and phoenixes. The two sides take the image in the hand, and the cloud dragon and the flying phoenix are the secondary, and the image is taken from the person. The foot also uses the wood of Tongzi, paints the mountains and rivers of the earth, the five mountains and the four desecrations, and takes the image from the ground. However, the production of this banner has not been handed down to later generations, so such a spirit banner has not been seen in later generations.

It can be seen that the existing spiritualist flags in the world are all flags with bamboo poles as the banners and yellow flags or white plains as the body of the spiritualist flags. Fei Mo and Long Ziyan could see clearly, and the spirit banner in the hands of the Wild Sheep Daoist was completely different from what he had seen before.

I saw that the banner of the spirit flag held by the wild sheep Taoist was made of materials that looked like wood, not wood, iron and not iron, and what was even more unpredictable was that the spirit flag held by the wild sheep Taoist was not a common yellow flag or white element, but a black flag body like animal fur, which was embroidered with gold and silver threads with the sun and moon.

The two of them just glanced at the body of the banner one more time, and it seemed that the soul was sucked away by the spirit flag, and the whole person became sluggish, Mu Ziyi saw the strangeness of the two and shouted: "Wake up!"

Fei Mo and Long Ziyan suddenly came to their senses as if they had been drunk, and Mu Ziyi opened his mouth to remind: "Don't stare at the spirit banner of the Wild Sheep Daoist. ”

Fei Mo and Long Ziyan reacted at this time, and looked at the unsightly spirit banner in the hands of the wild sheep Taoist with palpitations.

Seeing that Fei Mo and Long Ziyan were deflated, the Wild Sheep Daoist laughed gloating and said, "How is it? Now I know how powerful the Dao Master is." Hahaha"

After he finished laughing, Mu Ziyi looked at the soul banner in the hand of the wild sheep Taoist and asked, "This is the soul banner of Maoshan Zhibao Town?"

Seeing that Mu Ziyi recognized the soul suppression banner in his hand, the wild sheep Taoist said proudly: "That's right, this is the soul suppression flag, one of the three treasures of Maoshan Mountain. After speaking, the wild sheep Taoist emphasized: "The goods are genuine, such as fake." ”

Long Ziyan couldn't get used to the wild sheep Taoist's sneering, and said, "Isn't it just a magic weapon soul flag? ”

Seeing Long Ziyan belittling his Soul Suppression Banner, the Wild Sheep Daoist jumped up angrily and scolded: "What do you know about a child, it is not a magic weapon, this Soul Suppression Banner is a Dao weapon that once had a tool spirit." ”

Mu Ziyi also opened his mouth at this time to explain to Fei Mo and Long Ziyan: "The soul suppression banner in his hand is indeed a treasure, and it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the soul suppression flag, as one of the three treasures of Maoshan Mountain, can attract an army of 100,000 revenant souls when there is a weapon spirit. Even if there is no instrument spirit now, the Soul Suppression Banner is also a rare magic weapon, and it is very strange in the hands of the Wild Sheep Daoist. ”

Fei Mo and Long Ziyan thought about the weirdness before, and believed in Mu Ziyi's words.

Mu Ziyi saw that the wild sheep had always stood in front of the tomb door and had not moved, knowing that he was left here to block people from entering, Mu Ziyi looked at the wild sheep and the Taoist did not let himself go in for a long time, so he lost patience and said, "Are you staying here to block it?"

Seeing that Mu Ziyi picked up the Ming Ming, the wild sheep Taoist also put away the hanging appearance and said: "Yes, you better go back, you can't get in if you have me here, I don't want to do anything with a little lady like you." ”

Mu Ziyi didn't back down and said word by word: "What if I want to try it?"

The wild sheep stopped talking at this time, but just shook the soul suppression banner into the air, and suddenly the yin qi in the soul suppression banner permeated the entire tomb, and a few sneers came, and Mu Ziyi looked at the blue-faced fanged ghost thing so far away and could still feel the terrifying and eerie ghostly aura.

Mu Ziyi looked at the ghost creature in shock and said, "Maoshan Ghost Raising Technique, you actually have a ghost king in your hand!"
