Chapter 118: Burning the Demon Cave
What is the Dark Sutra?
Legend has it that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was an incident of an evil ghost appearing in the world.
At that time, thousands of evil spirits entered the Yang World, devoured the living, and wreaked havoc on the local area.
The exorcists tried their best to disperse the demons, but they were unable to do so. Because the living who are devoured by evil spirits are angry and will become new evil spirits, and if this continues, the world will sooner or later turn into hell.
The exorcists discussed for a long time, but they could not find a solution.
Later, two eminent monks came up with an idea.
That is, chanting sutras in the eighteen layers of hell to influence evil spirits.
In fact, a long time ago, there was a Jizo King Bodhisattva who swore that hell would not be empty and that he would not become a Buddha. So he stayed in the underworld and resolved the evil ghosts' grievances with his own strength.
However, the Dharma of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva is only in the underworld, only in the capital of Xudu, in the eighteen layers of hell, and the Dharma of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva has never been able to enter.
These two eminent monks believed that as long as they entered the eighteenth layer of hell after death and were influenced by Buddhist scriptures, they could cut off the source of evil spirits.
After seeking the consent of the temple, the two monks chose to commit suicide and entered the eighteenth layer of hell in the form of souls.
Who would have thought that after the two eminent monks entered, not only did they not use Buddhism to influence evil spirits, but they were affected by the anger in them and gradually sank.
In the end, not only did the eighteen layers of hell not be influenced by the slightest bit of Buddhism, but the two eminent monks even turned into dark monks and became evil ghosts on the one side of the disaster.
The scriptures they recite are also known as the Dark Sutras.
Once the dark sutra is recited, it will stimulate the ferocity of the evil spirits and awaken the sleeping corpse.
It is precisely because of this that the scriptures that the two eminent monks were most familiar with during their lifetimes have been listed as taboo, and no one is allowed to spread or recite them.
Although the seven-year-old master had never seen those two scriptures, he knew the name of the Dark Sutra.
What is the corpse reciting the scriptures, not the dark sutras?
At that time, the seven-year-old master was so frightened that his face was pale, and he relentlessly and used the demon pestle to nail the back of his brother's head.
In any case, after all, the corpse was subdued first.
Before the pestle went down, the senior brother's bald head suddenly turned around, revealing a face with no facial features.
Only then did the seven-year-old master suddenly realize that he had no color, no phase, no anger and no madness.
Senior Brother died at the hands of the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, so he took on this phaseless form.
The situation was urgent, and the seven-year-old master calmed down instead. He first nailed the door of the corpse with a demon-slaying pestle, and when the sound of the scriptures weakened, he took off his robe again and covered the coffin.
I saw the corpse of the Master of Seven Lives struggling in the coffin, trying to pull out the demon pestle and tear the robe. But the seven-year-old master took advantage of this time to run briskly, and rushed out of the cave in the blink of an eye.
In fact, the seven-year-old master also wanted to take advantage of this time to completely suppress the body of his senior brother, but the speed at which the robe changed from red to black was too fast.
I'm afraid that if I can't wait for myself to surrender to the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, the other party will break out of the coffin first, killing myself.
The seven-year-old master could only take advantage of this opportunity to flee for his life, and then regroup and come and kill him.
By the time he returned, the flames of the uncursed town had long since been extinguished, and the residents were packing up their belongings and preparing to move en masse. He cleaned himself up first, bought some things and put them back at the Shaolin Temple's station, and then came out to look for us.
At that time, Chang Wanqing was waiting for me to come back at the entrance of the town, and when he heard that I was walking with the demon soldiers, the seven-year-old master was relieved and was also waiting for me at the entrance of the village, so he waited for me to come back.
I smiled bitterly, and then asked, "Seven-year-old master, as you said, in that coffin, what do you see is the body of the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon or the Seven Lives Master?" ”
The seven-year-old master whispered, "Is there any difference? The Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon is colorless and phaseless, and any corpse may be a Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon. ”
Chang Wanqing was confused, but I understood.
To be precise, the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon is not a normal zombie, but a demon-like existence.
This thing only exists on corpses, and as long as there are corpses, the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon can reveal itself with the help of corpses.
Back then, the Master of Seven Lives was likely to find the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon who was hiding and wanted to suppress the other party. As a result, his skills were not as good as others, but he died on the spot.
The body of the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon was destroyed, but it reappeared with the help of the corpse of the Master of Seven Lives.
The Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon is still the corpse demon, but the external manifestation is the remains of the Seven Lives Master.
Chang Wanqing didn't understand, after all, he didn't practice Buddhism. But I'm well-read, and I just need a little mention to understand it.
So I asked again: "Seven-year-old master, you said that the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon is about to sit, how do you judge it?" ”
The seven-year-old master whispered, "The Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon was reborn with the help of Senior Brother's relics. But the eighteen monks of our Shaolin Temple, since the day they were chosen, have been preparing to deal with the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon. ”
As he said this, he suddenly took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles. On the muscles, there are countless Buddhist texts densely tattooed on the body.
He pointed to his body and said, "In the past, hundreds of monks chased and killed the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, and most of them were robbed of their bodies by the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon and died. ”
"Since we want to capture the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, we naturally have to guard against each other."
"In fact, not only us, but also the monks of the White Horse Temple, Lingyin Temple, and Daxiangguo Temple, each of them has a Buddhist tattoo on his body."
"What's more, thirty-six gold threads have been buried in the body!"
"As long as the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon dares to use our body, we must be prepared to be trapped!"
When he said this, his expression was a little gloomy: "Senior Brother Seven Lives has profound Buddhism, and he also cultivates ascetic meditation, paying attention to tempering himself with suffering. So he buried thirty-six golden threads under his body. ”
"Those golden threads crisscrossed and formed a cage, and although the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon occupied his body, he was trapped by the golden threads and Buddhist texts, so that he could not get out of the coffin."
"But it once occupied the bodies of countless monks, and I don't know where I learned the dark Buddhist scriptures, so I chanted the scriptures every day, wanting to break the golden threads and Buddhist texts on the Seven Lives Senior Brother."
"Three years is not enough time to get him out of trouble. But if you give it a little more time, wait for the golden thread to decay, wait for the Buddhist text to dissipate, and no one can cure the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon anymore! ”
Chang Wanqing and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a little uneasy in our hearts.
Although it is the duty of the exorcist to slay demons and eliminate demons, if we want to deal with the legendary Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, I am afraid that anyone will have to retreat.
Chang Wanqing suddenly said, "Seven-year-old master, if we don't go, what will you do?" Will you wait for the monks of Shaolin Temple to come before you do it? ”
The seven-year-old master smiled bitterly: "If the two gentlemen don't help, the little monk will never complain." It's just that last night's incident has already disturbed the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon. ”
"I'm afraid we don't have time to wait for the senior brothers of the Shaolin Temple to come, otherwise the other party is likely to leave the ancient tomb with the remains of the senior brothers."
Chang Wanqing stopped talking now, even if he could communicate instantly, it would take five or six days to wait for a dozen monks from Shaolin Temple to come over.
In fifty-six days, it is possible for the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon to escape from Middle-earth.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Go and try!" The Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon was trapped by the golden thread and Buddhist texts, and even if there was a dark Buddhist scripture, he would not be able to get out for a while. ”
"It's just a seven-year-old master, do you think it's important to take away the body of the Seven Lives Master, or is it more important to destroy the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon?"
The seven-year-old master hesitated for a moment and said, "The Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon is ferocious and brutal, so it is naturally important to destroy the Corpse Demon. It's just that if you can take away the body of your senior brother by the way, the Shaolin Temple will definitely be grateful. ”
I shook my head: "It is very difficult to take away the body of the Master of Seven Lives. But if you take the opportunity to kill the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon, there may still be a certain possibility. ”
"Brother Chang, let's bring enough gasoline, mixed with purple cinnabar, and burn that ancient tomb to the ground! I don't believe that the Phaseless Heavenly Corpse Demon can survive this kind of fire! ”
Chang Wanqing said: "The cave is very heavy and damp, and I am afraid that it will not burn if there is less gasoline." ”
"Yesterday, in order to extinguish the extremely cold ice flames, the fuel consumption was too great, and there may not be enough gasoline."
After a pause, he said again: "The Demon Suppressor is there, can you help?" ”
I shook my head, and although the evil man was unsuccessful in attacking the uncursed town, he was not caught. This guy is very strong, and it is estimated that he has a fight with Zhou Tiancai.
Now the uncursed town guard doesn't know where to hide, and Zhou Tian must be on guard against the unknown night.
And it seems that Skeletron is also coming to the Uncursed Town, and if there is no master here, it is really a bit dangerous.
Chang Wanqing shook his head when he saw me and said, "Then prepare some detonators!" To deal with this thing, let's take a knife and cut it is the stupidest thing to do! ”
The seven-year-old master was dumbfounded, he originally wanted to try his best to keep the body of the seven-life senior brother, and if he could, he would not destroy it.
But Chang Wanqing and I were discussing either gasoline or detonators, and I didn't seem to think about getting the body of the Master of Seven Lives back at all.
He sighed, and he also knew that it would be a bit difficult for a strong man to bring back the body of Senior Brother Seven Lives, after all, the dead are never as important as the living.
You can't put everyone in danger for the sake of a corpse.
We discussed it for a while, and finally decided to go to the Demon Suppressor to borrow some fuel first. It would be better if there were high napalm or white phosphorus incendiary bombs.
When the time comes, with a bucket of gasoline, no matter how heavy the yin qi in the cave is, it is estimated that it will be burned into a white ground.
After having an idea, the sleepiness I had just brewed instantly dissipated, and I picked up my weapon and wanted to drive to the demon suppressor to borrow gasoline.
I helped so much last night, so I rushed to save face, and they couldn't help but give it.
As for the detonator, this thing is a controlled item, and it may not be able to be borrowed, so let Chang Wanqing prepare to buy it.
Anyway, now that a large number of exorcists are going to evacuate the curseless town, we can make a small profit by selling some things that we don't need at a high price.
We just did it, and we all got up and prepared to leave.
Who would have thought that at this time, there was a sudden slamming sound outside the door, and then someone said viciously: "Open the door!" ”
I put my hand on the handle of the tantric iron rod and shouted, "Who! ”
The man outside sneered, "Damn! ”
I saw that the yin qi was pervasive, wafting in along the crack in the door, this breath was very familiar, I was taken aback on the spot,! The Soul Messenger of the Underworld!
What are these bastards doing? It's daylight!
