Chapter 22: The Ghost of the Besieged Town (Ask for Follow-up!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
Granny Lou had already recovered her original appearance at this time, and asked panting with a long cane: "The surname is Shen, you don't want to bury us in this ghost place, right?" There is such a large group of ghost soldiers in it, and you don't even say a word beforehand? ”
"Ghost soldiers? Where did the ghost soldiers come from? Shen Jun was stunned when he heard this.
"Immeasurable King Kong, don't be impatient," Fa Yuan stopped Lou's mother-in-law, and pronounced the Buddha's horn: "Shen Daoyou, I'm afraid there are more than 100 ghost soldiers in Qingshui Bay now, and there are also ghost generals in command, have you seen it before?" ”
Shen Jun's face changed, and he asked in surprise, "One hundred and ten ghost soldiers?" And the ghost general? Does the master think that if I see it, will I be able to come back alive? ”
When everyone heard it, it was the same thing, what Shen Jun relied on was the divine power of the city god, and he was not good at killing and fighting.
If he encounters a ghost general leading a hundred and ten ghost soldiers to surround him, I'm afraid it won't be as fast as a few people to escape.
"What the hell is going on? Where did the ghost soldiers and ghost generals come out? Shen Jun couldn't help but ask.
Fa Yuan guessed: "I think there was a war in this Clear Water Bay before, and a group of soldiers who died in battle were buried, and now they are alive under the influence of yin and evil qi. ”
While they were discussing, Chen Xuan informed Zhao Xiaoming of what he had seen and heard in Qingshuiwan Village, and said, "Zhao Zhutou, in this case, your subordinates are afraid that they will be more than lucky, so please prepare early." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaoming couldn't help but lose his soul for a while, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said hastily: "There is a long way to go, this is also ...... Alas ~ this is also theirs...... If only I had noticed it earlier, I would have asked Shen Miaozhu or the Taoist Elder to take a look. ”
Seeing his sad face, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh, who can have the eye of foresight?
Hearing that everyone was discussing the origin of the group of ghost soldiers, he looked at the sky, and then at the increasingly violent clouds that were rolling not far away.
He asked, "Everyone, now that the sun is about to set, let's think about it first, what should we do next?" At night, will they rush out? ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at the sky and clouds, and their faces couldn't help but change, and they looked at each other.
Shen Jun was the first to react, and summoned Zhao Xiaoming and said: "Zhao Zhutou, you go back to the county seat immediately now, and ask the county lieutenant to transfer the soldiers and horses in the city to suppress the Yin Qi ghost soldiers."
Master Fa Yuan, this stone bridge is the only way in and out of Clear Water Bay, let's set up an altar at this bridge to prevent those ghost soldiers from coming out at night. ”
"Good!" Fa Yuan responded without hesitation, took off the bead string around his neck, and said to Zhao Xiaoming: "Zhao Zhutou, please inform me of the Golden Gate Temple, so that they can come to support, this bead string is a token." ”
Zhao Xiaoming also understood the consequences of the group of ghost soldiers rushing out, and at this time, he couldn't care about being sad for his subordinates, so he took the bead string and nodded: "Don't worry, you two, I will definitely do it." ”
Seeing that everyone was actively preparing, Chen Xuan and Yuyang were also under the command of Shen Jun and arranged the altar together with the disciples of the City God Temple.
Soon, Zhao Xiaoming also ran back and forth, and invited the county lieutenant Luo Sheng and more than 100 county soldiers to come to help.
The practice method of the City God Temple does not serve the City God like Chen Xuan did in his previous life, relying on the divine power of the City God to perform miracles.
It should be said that there are no gods in this world who "live" by faith and worship, and all "gods" are nothing more than the "gods" of the practitioners themselves.
A city is a defensive wall that surrounds a city; God, the ditch outside the city, there is water and pond, and there is no water.
The original meaning of the word "Chenghuang" is the city wall and moat, which was used to guard the people who lived in it.
The practice of the disciples of the City God Temple is to strengthen their minds and cultivation by constantly cultivating the concept of "City God".
It is said that it is to worship the gods, but in fact it is still to cultivate itself.
Just like the eight great mantras that he cultivated successfully, although he was called "Taishang", "Yuan Shi", "Lingbao" and other Taoist gods in his previous life, he did not ask for the power of these gods.
It's about understanding what they mean and practicing with their teachings.
Therefore, in addition to knowing how to refine ghost soldiers, not every City God Temple has ghost soldiers available.
At least not in Pingshan County.
By the time it got dark, Shen Jun and Fa Yuan had already led everyone to set up two altars at the bridge.
One is the King Kong guarding the altar, headed by Fa Yuan and the disciples in his temple, facing the bridge, turning into an angry-eyed King Kong and guarding the gate.
One is the ghost altar of the city god surrounding the town, standing behind the altar of King Kong, the county lieutenant Luo Sheng with the soldiers and horses in the county, holding banners on the left and right sides of the military array.
This is to use the altar as the head of the city and the army as the city wall, and set up a copper wall and iron wall along Qingshui Bay to prevent the ghosts inside from rushing out.
Wang Yi came to the altar and said to Shen Jun and Fa Yuan: "Mage, master, that group of ghost soldiers has begun to assemble, I'm afraid they will make a move." ”
Hearing this, Shen Jun looked across the river and saw a wave of yin qi surging like a tide, and he heard the sound of ghosts crying and horses, and understood that the other party was indeed going to take advantage of the night to take advantage of the road to march.
The Yin soldiers borrowed the way, and it was a disaster wherever they went, and the best way was to trap them here and solve them directly.
Shen Jun waved the command flag in his hand and shouted: "Raise the altar!" ”
"Yes! Rise to the altar! The disciples of the City God Temple shouted loudly and chanted the praise of the City God of Pingshan.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Seeing this, the county lieutenant Luo Sheng also waved the flag, and the soldiers under his command waved the flag in unison, waved and shouted, and let out bursts of shouts and killing.
In an instant, countless qi machines converged towards Shen Jun, forming a tower-like aura above his head, and then expanding along the banner, forming a rock-solid invisible wall of qi along the river.
Zhou Lie held a stick of incense, pinched the recipe with both hands, and shouted while dancing: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, disciple respectfully enlightens the general, recruits to rebel against the evil spirits, collects all the world-free ghosts, sweeps away thousands of disasters and turns them into dust......
The disciples are all hearted to please, the general of this altar is coming, and the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law! ”
A golden light fell on him, and in an instant he became a god-man general wearing gold armor and holding a golden melon.
"Soldiers!"
As he shook the big qi, a white qi suddenly appeared above the head of Xiangyong in Pingshan County, and it fell on the invisible qi wall.
"Om Tooth Come, Ombu Rin, Chara God, Protector God, all evil demons turned to dust, and all evil spirits and gods cannot be slandered......"
The monk sat down, reciting the vajra mantra in his mouth, and slowly closing his palms with both hands, as if the two vajra doors were slowly closing.
His disciples each posed in different postures and recited the vajra mantra together, guarding the bridge like a vajra mountain.
At this moment, the sky completely darkened, and a wave of yin qi spread from Qingshui Bay, crossing the Qingshui River and rushing towards everyone.
In the shroud of yin qi, the two altars and a military array suddenly turned into a real city wall.
I saw that the city was six feet high, strong and majestic, and in the middle of the city tower sat a majestic and dignified city god wearing an official uniform and holding a wat board.
A god general wearing gold armor and holding a golden gourd is leading more than 100 soldiers to guard the city wall.
The golden light below was clear, and the two gates engraved with the Vajra Wheel were closed.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that gathering the strength of everyone to set up a Dharma altar would have such power. ”
As the yin qi was completely spread in front of the city wall, the place that had been hidden by the fog was suddenly cleared.
I saw a ghost general on the other side of the Qingshui River, with complete armor and shiny shining, a helmet on his head and a spear and snake coiled in his hand, and a red tassel.
The skeleton of the war horse under the crotch is tall, but there is only one skin covered with bones, and there are ghost fire jumps in the two eyes.
A group of more than 100 ghost horsemen was lining up the whole army, and although the armor and weapons on their bodies were tattered, they had a solemn aura.
There was also a group of ghost zombies behind them, some of whom were transformed by the villagers of Clear Water Bay, and some of whom crawled out of the ground.
The dark clouds on its top rolled like a black tide, turning into a yin snake from time to time, obviously the ghost general gathered the power of all the ghosts, condensing such a military force comparable to the innate true intention.
The god of the city god in the city tower was transformed by Shen Jun with the strength of everyone and was specially used to guard the city wall.
He asked Zhou Lie, who had turned into a general to recruit envoys, "Mr. Zhou, I don't know that the soldiers and horses in the city may kill this group of ghost soldiers?" ”
Zhou Lie shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's embarrassing, the soldiers and horses in the county are just village warriors, and it is still the blessing of being able to gather together and be trained now, in the face of such ghost soldiers who have died in a hundred battles, it would be good to be able to defend the city." ”
The soldiers on the city walls were not real soldiers, but were summoned to make the general's army array.
Even if there is any damage, it will only weaken the soldier's spirit for a while, and it will not hurt the root.
But because of this, the combat ability of this group of soldiers is not strong, and it is okay to fight with ordinary Yin ghosts, and they can't fight against the group of Yin ghost cavalry below at all.
"In this case, then we have to hold this place, don't let it escape, and after a few days, when someone from the state capital comes, we can exterminate it."
Shen Jun didn't force it when he heard this, and asked Fa Yuan below, "I don't know if the master can hold on?" ”
Since he is not ready to fight, he is only ready to defend, so the pressure falls on the Golden Gate Temple, which is the "city gate".
Fa Yuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, the poor monks just use them to practice." ”
There is no way to destroy the vajra, and there is no way to destroy all things.
If you want to become an incorruptible body, you need to go through a lot of tempering, and at this time, the Yin Ghost Destruction is the time when the disciples in his temple hone their bodies and minds.
Shen Jun also smiled when he heard this: "Master don't worry, Mr. Zhou and I will not sit by." ”
"Exactly, exactly!" Zhou Lie couldn't help nodding.
As he spoke, the ghost general had already commanded a group of ghosts and zombies to start attacking the city.
