Chapter 65: The Year of Yihai in the Eyes of the Door God
When the corpses on the surface of the ancestral courtyard parted paths, the dilapidated wooden door came into view, and the red paint painted on the doorway had dried and faded.
Two blurred portraits were pasted in front of the door.
"Door God?"
Li Mo frowned, and his spiritual power surged out uncontrollably.
According to the feedback of the Book of Creation, the door god belongs to the immortal in the upper realm, and his duty is to protect the mundane and ward off evil spirits and drive away disasters.
Li Mo swept over the portrait, and there were two door gods on it.
There are two door gods, one is called the gods, and the other is called Yu Lei, who is the one who leads the ghosts to harm people.
"Isn't the immortal of the ancestral court one? That's a big trouble, and the rumored door god is transformed by evil ghosts, and if it becomes a monster like the old moon, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with. β
Li Mo pinched his temples with a headache.
He looked back at the eight mountains, and the Golden Armor Gate had already noticed that he was missing, but it didn't make too many waves.
Li Mo looked at the arrangements of the various forces for the ancestral court.
But all the monks who were able to leave the ancestral court had serious alienation.
They were vaguely sane, muttering indistinctly to themselves, and usually had several high-quality spiritual materials in their hands, and their skin was depicted with bright paint.
The various forces have little interest in spiritual materials, and their main purpose is to destroy the Dharma.
No matter how deep and difficult the method is, it also contains the mysteries of the upper realm, and maybe you can understand the Dao inheritance of the fake immortal from it.
What made Li Mo wary was the alienation of the monk.
They give up their physical bodies and specialize in the Dharma Body, so they don't care that their physical bodies get out of control.
Li Mo is different, while having a strong foundation through the physical body, it also means that the importance of the physical body is definitely above the Dharma body.
"Door God ......"
Li Mo pushed open the wooden door, and behind the door was a deep and boundless darkness.
He stepped into the ancestral court, and the moment the darkness engulfed him, the wooden door slammed shut, leaving only an endless dead silence.
Li Mo smelled the extremely rich smell of incense.
Immediately afterward, the sound of singing music sounded in the darkness, accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, as if watching a play from the perspective of a blind man.
"Wow, yes."
"Today's customary law, every Chinese New Year's Eve, decorate peach people, hang reed cords, draw tigers on the door, and place two lamps on the left and right, like tiger eyes, to dispel ominousness."
"Where is the door god?!!
"Where is the door god, protect you, etc., and survive for a ......long time."
Li Mo pondered the content of the song and realized that it was a step to eliminate the ominous, and it also contained the origin of the gradual evolution of the door god.
The terrible scream made him get goosebumps all over his body.
Squeak.
Li Mo suddenly brightened up, and found that he had come to a private house.
He looked around, the house can be said to be surrounded by four walls, but the candlesticks are specially placed to worship the gods of the left and right doors, and the incense is continuous.
There are no windows in the house, and a wooden door is abruptly embedded in the wall.
The wooden door rattles as if it will be blown open by a strong wind at any moment, and the hollowed-out door frame makes it seem like an early morning market to the outside world.
People come and go, noisy and mixed with the cries of street vendors.
In the distance, there are high mountains towering over, indicating that the town is located between the mountains, and there are many similar towns in the central region, and the locals call themselves mountain people.
From time to time, the sun hits the wooden door, and it can be seen that the weather is cloudy and sunny.
Li Mo was not too surprised.
He understands that although the ancestral garden is a small world, it is not a green water and green mountains in the conventional sense.
The ancestral court is located at the junction of the two worlds of immortals and mortals, and it is said that it is filled with a large number of mundane prayers, making the rules inside extremely chaotic.
The fragments of the ancestral court in the northwest land and the immortals are hiding, and they are inevitably affected by the door gods.
According to Qu Ai's meaning, the immortals in the ancestral court are sleeping, and the environment he is in now is likely to be in the dream of the door god.
Li Mo's mind moved slightly, and the spirit root worm turned into a robe to wrap his body.
There is a clear difference between dreams and illusions, but the Spirit Root Worm, as an immortal artifact, can still help him not get lost in the ancestral garden.
"En......"
Li Mo noticed that the jade in his arms was warm, and he couldn't help but take it out.
There are a few more cracks in the jade, but the handwriting is still clearly revealed, which shows that Senior Sister Eleventh is always paying attention to Li Mo's dynamics.
[March 17]
γDon't open the doorγ
[There is a scholar knocking on the door in the rain, don't open the door]
[We are ...... in April]
Click.
The cracks in the jade spread, and the fourth sentence had already lost its luster before it was complete, and the amount of information obtained from it made Li Mo confused.
"On the one hand, don't open the door? On the other hand, why do you want to open the door to the scholars who are falling in the rain? β
"What the hell is March 17th?"
Li Mo's brows furrowed tightly, guessing that Qu Ai and the others were also trapped somewhere in the ancestral court, and they could only express their meaning through short words.
He didn't panic because of this, after all, the three immortals were blessed and his survivability was full.
It really doesn't work, Li Mo plans to directly arrange the magic circle and forcibly move it to the vacuum hometown, but it may alarm the door god.
He inspected it inside the house.
Li Mo suddenly remembered the dead grave in the compartment, but unfortunately, the rules of the two places were very different, and the ancestral court was far more dangerous than the dead grave.
He was relieved to find that all the furniture was made of spiritual materials.
After the monks entered the ancestral court, eighty percent of them stayed in the house, and naturally they would withdraw from the ancestral court, and at most suffer some alienation.
Li Mo didn't notice the alienation for the time being, but he found that the spiritual energy in the ancestral court did not exist, so he simply absorbed the spiritual veins of the small world of the corpse mountain to cultivate.
He had no need for spiritual materials, so he didn't touch furniture.
"Huh? And the calendar? β
"No wonder Senior Sister deliberately mentioned the point in time, it should be related to the calendar."
The calendar is designed to keep track of the date, and there is a thick stack that is placed on the table, and one is usually torn off every day that passes.
Li Mo looked at the calendar, and his pupils narrowed unconsciously.
"Yihai year?"
Li Mo smiled bitterly, whether it was the Fire Spirit Hall that fell into Tongjian at the beginning, or the Dragon King Sacrifice of Bishui Zhenjun, it all happened in the year of Yihai.
If nothing else, the upheaval of heaven and earth came in the year of Yihai.
In the corner of the calendar, there is also the seal of the government, as well as the word Luozhou.
Li Mo digested the memories that suddenly poured out of the Book of Creation, Luozhou Town was not famous 10,000 years ago, and it was indeed a small town backed by mountains.
It is said that before the door god Yu Lei turned into an evil ghost, he was the county order of Luozhou Town.
"Hey, the upper realm seems to call immortals similar to door gods [Incense Fire Immortals], they don't follow the regular path of cultivation to become immortals."
"The incense fairy is a ghost immortal who can't survive the catastrophe, and the incense becomes a god after spreading faith in the mortal world."
The old man under the moon is in charge of the duties related to the marriage of the Heavenly Dao, and his status in the upper realm is very high, and the door god is at most a contract worker.
When the incense is cut off, the door god will be gone.
"Wait."
Li Mo sat cross-legged on the ground and couldn't help muttering: "Therefore, when encountering drastic changes in heaven and earth in the mortal world, the incense fire fairy must be involved in it for his own life." β
"The dream in the ancestral court should be the experience of the door god in the drastic changes in heaven and earth."
Li Mo showed pity on his face, even the old man under the moon turned into an indescribable thing, and the door god was closer to the mortal, how could he be spared.
He began to have doubts about the mental condition of the door god.
"Part of the calendar has been torn off, and it is now February 15, not long after the New Year, and the drastic changes in heaven and earth have not yet completely come."
"There is a high probability that there will be a disaster on March 17, and my senior sister asked me to be more careful."
"One day in April, the three of us were able to meet, and we didn't know if we were going to get out of the room or just keep waiting."
Li Mo stared at the door, thinking that the sun had come to noon.
A few children in padded jackets were playing a short distance in front of the door, and a desolate horn playing the role of a door god sang in the streets, and the sound he had heard in the darkness came from him.
Li Mo hurried to recover from his injuries.
The injuries caused by the soul worm do not act on the flesh in a single circle, and it takes two or three years to completely heal.
One month... Let's talk about repairing it first.
If you use the Dharma Body carefully, it should not affect the foundation, and with the presence of the Spirit Root Worm, many dangers can be avoided.
"Brother Dog, what's that sealed room?"
A child wiped his nose, pointed to the wooden door where Li Mo was, and asked the older boy next to him, his words full of curiosity.
Dog Zhuzi scratched his head, "Little San'er, a few days ago, I played with Brother Qing'er, hiding in the courtyard behind the house, it seems to be an empty house, but the family doesn't let us get close." β
"Hehe, I specially sealed the door with the door god grandfather, could it be that there are demons and monsters?"
The girl snorted, raised the wooden stick and said loudly: "Where are the demons and monsters, my father said, it's the north... What a sacrificial beast. β
"Oh......"
The child seems to understand whether he understands or not, but the girl's father is a fast catcher in the town, and no one doubts it.
Li Mo opened his eyes.
"North... The festival should be the Beishan Gate Festival, right? β
The people used yellow paper to make a paper figure named [Disaster Beast], and then soaked it in the wind and blood water of the three animals, and pulled it to the top of the north mountain to dry for ten days.
During this period, people who have suffered disasters can go to the top of the North Mountain.
They will curse the paper people, impose natural and man-made disasters on the paper people, and even whip the disaster beasts with thin braids made of soft willow branches.
After the New Year, the Plague Paper Man will be locked up in an unused house.
One pass is a year, the meaning is the door god to drive away the disaster, only the next year's Beishan Gate Sacrifice, can burn the disaster beast paper man.
"I'll take a look!"
Xiao San'er shook off the arm of the dog pillar, ran quickly to the door of Li Mo's house, and stood on tiptoe to poke a small hole in the hollowed-out paper.
The rest of the children did not stop them, and they were very curious and came over one after another.
"What kind of plague beast, it's empty."
"I'll see, I'll see."
"It's really nothing, could it be that the calamity beast has sneaked away?"
"I'm going to tell Daddy!"
The children were in a mess, leaning against the wooden door and looking in, and the portrait of the door god attached to the wooden door suddenly showed signs of tearing.
Li Mo motioned for the ghost tiger to extend to the door to prevent the wooden door from opening rashly.
"Get out of the way."
Gou Zhuzi pushed away the rest of the children with the advantage of height and arm length, his eyes rolled curiously, and he turned a blind eye to Li Mo's existence.
Suddenly, he looked at the position of the beam, and the curiosity in his eyes turned to fear.
"Blame... Blame... Monster monster! It's a plague beast!! β
The dog pillar screamed, and moved away from the house with his hands and feet, attracting the attention of passers-by, and two catchers were also coming.
