Chapter 114: The Ghost Gate Opens Wide
The moon wheel hangs high.
Silver-white light rains down the sky.
The magnificent city tower that appeared out of thin air descended on Jingjiang Town.
Not only Yan Jing, but the other three people in the team were also attracted by this sudden movement and gathered in front of the window.
"It's the reality...... Or is it an illusion that only we can see? ”
Yu Ke leaned on the windowsill, looking at the full moon and the city tower in the night sky, this scene undoubtedly defied common sense.
"It shouldn't be an illusion, to be exact, it's a reality that's happening, but because of the existence of the [Mind Eclipse] state, we can see things that ordinary people can't see."
While speaking, Zhao Qianwu stepped forward to look at Jingjiang Town, which was illuminated by the moonlight outside the pagoda, and continued,
"You see, no ordinary people walked out of their dwellings, and if the moonlight and the sight of the city tower could be seen by ordinary people, it would have already become a pot of porridge underneath."
The castle tower itself seems to be independent of the living space, and the walls pass through the various buildings in the town without sound.
Yan Jing, who was standing on the side, looked back at the Buddha carver under his eyes at this time.
If I remember correctly, in his first conversation with the Buddhist carver, he mentioned what might happen during the Midyear Festival.
The power of the underworld or the underworld alone is undoubtedly stronger than the evil in Jingjiang Town, which also leads to the fact that the evil will be silent for a short time now, dormant in the shadows, just waiting for the ghosts to leave the underworld and come to the present world......
"Look at the gate of the castle tower, it's open!"
Zhao Qianwu's voice came from behind him, and Yan Jing immediately turned around.
First, I noticed that the moon in the night sky was gradually becoming transparent, rippling like a mirror.
Eyes moved down, and the vermilion gate of the castle tower slowly opened.
I saw a gray mist rushing out of the door, and by the moonlight, I could vaguely see many figures hidden in it.
Needless to say, it must be a ghost who came to the present world on the day of the Midyear Festival.
A few people stood at the window, and soon noticed that as the number of ghosts coming out of the tower increased, the moon and the tower itself became more and more dim.
"Midyear Festival, also known as Halloween Festival, the door to the world will be opened for a short time, and a large number of ghosts will come to the world on this day, and the ghosts with the master will return to their own homes, and the ownerless will wander around the world."
Flipping through his notes, Yu Zhen briefly explained the situation of the Midyear Festival, looked at the situation outside, and added,
"It's 0:05 now, and the ghost door can't be open all the time, if nothing else, it should disappear now, and wait until twelve o'clock tonight to open it again, and take back all the ghosts wandering in the world."
"Did you find it, the evil cult did not appear during this time, neither attacked the pagoda, nor hunted ghosts according to the Buddhist carver, as if it had disappeared from Jingjiang Town."
Not only Yan Jing, but Yu Ke also noticed the silence of the evil.
"It should be that the power of the underworld has not yet dissipated, just like the Buddha statue behind us, it has suppressed the evil spirits, and now the ghost gate is still closed, at this time, the ghosts will escape back to the underworld, and they will do it when the ghosts have no way out!"
Yu Zhen added.
According to the Buddhist carvers, the evil spirits will use these ghosts as nourishment to make up for themselves and prepare for the final assault.
With this thought, Yan Jing withdrew his gaze from the vision outside the stupa,
"We can't stop the evil spirits from hunting ghosts, and this means that their attention will be temporarily taken away from us for some time to come."
Turning around and walking to the other side of the corridor and sitting down, Yan Jing turned his somewhat sore neck,
"Whether we survive the last day will depend on whether the actions in the next few hours will be effective, but until then...... Let's get a good night's sleep first. ”
Watching Yan Jing just turn his head sideways and lean against the Shuofeng Sword, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
The other three looked at each other, surprised by the big heart of this guy, and had to find a place to rest.
......
By the time the day dawned, the rain was much lighter than last night.
Unlike in the past, today's Jingjiang Town is particularly lively.
As one of the most important festivals of the year, the Midyear Festival is undoubtedly valued by the townspeople.
Ordinary people get up at dawn to prepare to worship their ancestors, men, as the head of the family, are responsible for most of the work of the sacrifice, rolling up their sleeves and constantly entering and leaving the house, while the women need to wash in advance and take care of the things needed for the sacrifice.
Some shops selling sacrificial supplies opened earlier, and some merchants bought goods from these shops in advance, and specially took advantage of this day to sell at a higher price, and the sound of selling echoed in the streets and alleys.
Incense is lit all over the town, and it seems like everyone has something to do.
It's just that not everyone is busy for the Midyear Festival.
Around the pagoda, Yu Ke and Zhao Qianwu shuttled through the streets and alleys, sometimes stopping everywhere, or burying some items, or marking certain places, and then marking them on the corresponding map.
According to the plan, they had to figure out the layout around the stupa first, especially the route.
This is to avoid being caught blind after dark, and to ensure that they can find a way to evacuate under special circumstances, after all, their current plan is to abandon the stupa, and they can't attract the attention of the evil spirits when the time comes, and end up scurrying around like headless flies, right?
At the same time that Zhao Qianwu and Yu Ke were surveying the environment, Yu Zhen had also appeared at the door of the restaurant.
It turns out that Yan Jing is not wrong, Wu Qi may not be interested in personal beliefs at all, but he is not only interested in grabbing power by engaging in god worship to accumulate money, but also crazy!
In order to seize this last opportunity, he didn't even care about his own Zhongyuan Festival ancestor worship, forcibly recruited all the manpower and material resources of the entire Wu family, and took himself as an example to forcibly reconvene the group of believers who originally believed in Hebo.
You must know that Jingjiang Town is very large and has a large population, and although Hebo is a god in everyone's hearts, this does not mean that everyone is qualified to become a believer.
That's right, in Jingjiang Town, if you want to believe in evil spirits, you have to go through a round of screening first.
In the end, those who were chosen were either true fanatical believers or wealthy people with little wealth.
Now the new Hebo ..... No, it should be said that the Dragon and Tiger Yama True Monarch sent down the decree, and these people don't want to miss it.
Especially on the premise of seeing Yu Zhen, the "divine envoy", appear and make sure that Wu Qi is not lying.
This frenzied atmosphere was re-energized.
Standing at the door of the restaurant, Yu Zhen, who had specially changed into luxurious clothes, swept his eyes over the various materials needed to arrange the magic circle piled up behind the crowd, and couldn't help but nodded.
These things are collected by them alone, let alone a few hours, even if it takes a few days, they may not be able to get it, but now that Wu Qi has come forward, it will be ready in half a day.
The rest is much simpler.
Folk culture, religious worship.
This is Yu Zhen's area of expertise!
