Chapter 177: Ren Yaozhe appeared
For this trip to Zhongyuan, Xuan Xia deliberately learned the method of opening the eyes of heaven from Yan Wentao in advance, just to see what would become of Li Qiaozhen, who had obtained transcendence.
After Yan Wentao finished teaching very seriously, he asked Xuanxia with a little hesitation: "Boss, have you never participated in this kind of ritual?" ”
In the two days when Xuanxia went to work in Jiang City, Yan Wentao had a deeper understanding of Xuanxia when he chatted with Uncle Zhong.
Among them, Xuan Xia had no contact with this line of work before receiving the concept of immortality.
When he knew this situation, Yan Wentao was still depressed and depressed for a long time, without him, he couldn't believe that Xuan Xia didn't come into contact with learning these things when he was a child.
After all, she is really proficient in talismans.
However, there are also many aspects to prove that she really does not have been exposed to these since she was a child. Just like when Yanjing dealt with Ding Lu's family before, she didn't know how to defend herself.
So at this time, when Xuanxia wanted to learn the magic and said that he wanted to meet Li Qiaozhen, who had obtained transcendence, Yan Wentao had such a guess.
Xuan Xia nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The speculation was confirmed, and Yan Wentao couldn't tell his mood, and his face became complicated.
Xuan Xia looked at his expression and asked suspiciously, "Why is this expression?" ”
Yan Wentao hurriedly said, "It's okay." It is...... Boss, do you want to ask God when you decide what to do? ”
"Are there any taboos and taboos, you can't open your eyes when you do things?"
"That's not, it's not that exquisite." Yan Wentao thought about it, and quickly said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, it's me who disturbs myself, boss, it's not that you haven't seen the ghost." ”
Xuan Xia raised her eyebrows.
Weird.
-
When the ritual began, Xuan Xia invited Shen Mu to watch Yan Wentao preside over the ritual in the courtyard with Daoist Qin.
It was the first time for Yan Wentao to preside over this kind of ritual by himself, and he was still a little stressed before the start, afraid that he would lose the chain, but after he stood on the Jiao platform and officially began to invite the table, his pressure disappeared completely, leaving only a sense of selflessness.
As the ritual progressed, Yan Wentao released Li Qiaozhen, who had been restrained for many days.
Li Qiaozhen's appearance still looks terrifying, but her mood is quite stable, and even after hearing Yan Wentao chanting, she even showed a little piousness.
Although she was restrained, Yan Wentao had opened a small stove for her in the past few days, and she also learned from Yan Wentao that Shen Jiabing had surrendered.
Her resentment was gone.
At the same time, with Yan Wentao's prayer, many souls came to the Taoist temple at once.
These are the ancestors of those believers and pilgrims, because they asked the ancestors to worship in the temple, so the ancestors all came to the temple.
Xuan Xia looked at the small place, and suddenly there were ghosts.
But this is not the end, in addition to worshipping ancestors, today's rituals also include worshipping the souls of the dead, that is to say, lonely souls and wild ghosts can also come to receive fragrant food.
Compared with the ancestors who were neatly dressed and had peaceful faces, the lonely ghosts behind them were also rich.
This abundance is multifaceted.
And in terms of quantity, it is obviously more than the ancestors who were invited.
Fortunately, these lonely souls and wild ghosts are still in order, ranking behind the ancestors of the believers and pilgrims, and they are not running around.
Xuan Xia also skipped these lonely ghosts and focused his eyes on the ancestors in front of him.
She deliberately learned from Yan Wentao to ask for divine eyes, in fact, she didn't just want to see Li Qiaozhen, but also wanted to see her grandfather.
But when she had identified all the souls of her ancestors, she didn't see her grandfather.
She didn't give up and searched again, but she still didn't see anything.
Xuan Xia couldn't help it, lowered his head and asked Daoist Qin beside him softly, "Have you seen my grandfather?" ”
Daoist Qin raised his eyes, compared to Xuan Xia, he still looked calm and calm.
"No, Mr. Xuan didn't come."
"Are you late?" Xuan Xia asked him, "Or did Daoist Yan not pray for me?" ”
Xuan Xia thought that on the day she came back from Jiang City, she had agreed with Yan Wentao that when Zhongyuan Dharma was held, he would pray for her grandfather to come back to the temple for her.
Today is not the day when the local officials release the spirit of the Netherworld's karma, Xuan Xia feels that just by what her grandfather did in front of her, she doesn't believe that her grandfather is not satisfied with his merits.
She thought so, and said so to Daoist Qin.
Daoist Qin echoed her, and then comforted her: "So there is another possibility, Mr. Xuan's merits have been completed, and he has already been reincarnated." ”
When Xuan Xia heard it, he felt that it was very reliable and reasonable.
"You're right."
The anxious mood was suddenly smoothed out.
The ritual was still going on, and after Yan Wentao offered incense and food to the souls present, he began the final transcendent ritual.
Xuan Xia asked Daoist Qin about these lonely souls and wild ghosts again, if she hadn't seen them with her own eyes now, she wouldn't have known that there would be so many lonely souls and wild ghosts in Ningzhou.
And these are definitely not all, because tonight Hugyiguan and other Taoist temples will also find ways to worship lonely souls.
Daoist Qin looked at the lonely ghosts in the courtyard, and said thoughtfully: "It is indeed much more than in previous years. ”
And as Yan Wentao's ritual progressed, there were more and more lonely ghosts who arrived late, and the entire courtyard was almost unable to stand.
Uncle Zhong and a few of them were also in the view, they couldn't see the situation in the view at this time, but they could feel that the temperature in the view suddenly cooled a lot.
Fortunately, Li Xinze's three men were vigorous, and Uncle Zhong, who was older, didn't feel any discomfort when he was with them.
Xuan Xia didn't know if there were more lonely souls than last year, whether it was good or not, so he could only say: "Then it seems that Daoist Yan still has some ability, and he can attract so many lonely souls." ”
Yan Wentao on the stage didn't know that Xuan Xia said this, and continued to chant the rituals.
After Yan Wentao's excess, Li Qiaozhen turned away from her anger and changed back to her former appearance.
Just like what Xuan Xia saw in the illusion of Aunt Feng's house.
Li Qiaozhen's face was peaceful, knowing that Xuan Xia was at the scene, she deliberately turned around and looked at Xuan Xia, grinning, and her lips moved.
Looking at her lip movements, she should say the word "thank you".
Xuan Xia nodded at her, although he didn't feel that he had done anything, he could bear her thanks.
The transcendent ritual reached the last step, and with the last verse of the lyrics, Yan Wentao shook the Dharma bell in his hand.
After the bell rang, a strong wind suddenly blew into the temple from outside the temple, and the wind blew Yan Wentao on the stage, and the layout on the stage was blown together.
The long flags moved swiftly with the wind, and the burned money silk was swept into the air with the strong wind, because it was not yet burned out, and the sparks were shining in the wind.
"That's not right."
Daoist Qin suddenly spoke, and Xuan Xia's heart jumped.
"What?"
Just after this sound, the courtyard suddenly protruded.
There was a faint chime in the wind.
Those lonely souls who had been spent by Yan Wentao suddenly changed back to their original appearance, even more terrifying than their original appearance.
Their eyes all turned into blood pupils without pupils, and the red eyes of the pair seemed to glow in the night.
These souls even showed their shapes, and Uncle Zhong saw clearly what was going on in the courtyard in a few moments, and his complexion changed.
Xuan Xia's eyes widened.
It's not "wrong", it's "bad"!
Yan Wentao on the stage also stopped moving, looking at the scene under the stage a little stupidly, and suddenly suspected that his Dharma had failed.
Instead of overpowering these lonely souls, he stimulated their ferocity and turned them into ...... Devilish look?!
At present, these powerful ghosts are completely out of order, some are attacking the souls of those ancestors who are full of karma, and some are scattered, some of them are rushing towards Yan Wentao, some of them are rushing towards Li Xinze who is far away, and the rest are all coming to Xuanxia's side.
Xuan Xia and Qin Daochang started at the same time.
At the same time, Daoist Qin also said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, you go into the Spirit Official Palace." ”
Almost as soon as Qin Daochang's words fell, Uncle Zhong and the others immediately reacted, turned around and entered the nearest Lingguan Palace, and closed the door again.
Those blood-pupiled ghosts stopped in front of the temple gate, and they were still afraid of the main hall dedicated to the priests.
"How can this be, Daoist Qin?" Xuan Xia thinks that he really has little knowledge, can Zhongyuan Law still do this?
Daoist Qin didn't speak, and after he restrained a wave of powerful ghosts, his gaze turned to the night sky.
At this time, the wind has subsided, and there is no wind interference, and when the bell rings again, it will be so abrupt.
Xuan Xia's gaze moved along with the sound, and he soon saw a piece of Qin Daochang.
On the gate of the Immortal Temple, I don't know when a figure was erected.
The figure was holding a thin stick in his hand, and there was a string of small bells running on the head of the stick, and the bell that Xuan Xia heard came from there.
It was also because of the decoration on the thin stick that Xuan Xia and they could discover the existence of that figure.
Otherwise, the other party is like melting into the night.
"It's that person!" Yan Wentao also found the figure, and he quickly recognized the other party, "Ren Yaozhe!" ”
Ren Yaozhe!?
Xuan Xia Yirin.
Ren Yaozhe has been in Ningzhou for so many days, and he has been hiding and seeking with Gong Ziliu for so many days, but he took advantage of the night of Zhongyuan to run to the Changsheng Temple.
This is clearly ...... The comer is not good!
But it's so good, I've been looking for it for so long, and I've finally appeared.
Xuan Xia thought and slowly grinded his back teeth.
When Ren Yaozhe heard that he was recognized, he no longer hid it, raised his chin, exposed a pair of eyes, and then revealed his full appearance, and then smiled evilly in the direction of Xuanxia.
"I know you've been looking for me, so I'm here."
Xuan Xia heard Ren Yaozhe speak for the first time, and his voice was just like his smile, revealing an evil energy.
Daoist Qin took a step forward in front of Xuan Xia, and did not forget to say, "Be careful." ”
Xuan Xia said "um", his eyes fixed on Ren Yaozhe.
"You did these lonely souls?" After watching it for a few seconds, Xuan Xia suddenly asked Ren Yaozhe.
Ren Yaozhe chuckled twice and replied to her: "Don't you Taoist priests like to be overdue?" How about giving these to you, do you like it? ”
As he spoke, Ren Yaozhe waved the thin stick in his hand, the bell jingled, and those powerful ghosts who were originally restrained were aroused to be fierce again, struggling and rushing towards Xuanxia and them.
Daoist Qin raised his hand and drew a talisman in the air with his fingers, and the talisman was formed, and then it glowed with golden light, and flew towards the fierce ghosts who rushed over.
As soon as the ghosts ate the talisman, they instantly bounced out, and they fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Such a fierce attack also taught other ghosts to be cowardly, and they roared one by one, but they didn't dare to approach.
Seeing this, Yan Wentao hurriedly jumped off the stage and ran to Daoist Qin's side after restraining the wave of powerful ghosts at hand.
It's better to stay by your own master's side, so that you feel more secure.
"You are a Taoist, and your whole family is a Taoist!" Xuan Xia snorted.
Ren Yaozhe: "......"
Ren Yaozhe had never experienced this kind of quarrel and talk, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Xuan Xia also said, "I prefer to overtake you than to overtake them, why don't you hurry up and die and let me overdo it." ”
