Chapter 36: The Ghost General
ββFirst and then changeββ
At the beginning, Yu Chen thought that this Mirror Flower Zen Master was coming to find him, and he would definitely not give up.
I don't want this guy to seem to be reluctant to get involved in this matter, so he chose to leave as soon as he was stimulated by Yuchen.
'It's getting more and more interesting!' Yu Chen smiled, a Wang family who wanted to grab land, a city god who acquiesced, a nun who blocked the way, and a fox who saved people.
But on closer inspection, everything seems to revolve around the youngest son of the Dong family.
'This kid from the Dong family, what's so great about him that he actually involves the three biggest cultivation forces around?' Yu Chen had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he came to the tomb outside the town again, and gently knocked on the ancient wood.
For a moment, no one responded, and after two more knocks, there was still no response.
Yu Chen's pupils contracted slightly, a trace of different color appeared, and when he looked down, under the mixed aura around him, the demonic qi had almost dissipated, and there was obviously no fox to live in.
Yu Chen's eyes were half-closed, and he turned around and walked in the direction of Xiaoxiangshan.
Now that I've seen Chenghuang and Mirror Flower Zen Master, it's good to go and see this royal man.
Xiaoxiangshan is located more than 20 miles to the east of the town, it is not famous, the mountain is not high, there are few people on weekdays, until the Wang Dao people establish a Taoist temple here, it gradually becomes more popular.
Yuchen walked up the mountain, and saw a white wall and black tile, the charm of the Taoist temple, the front hall of this Taoist temple was originally a place for pilgrims to play, but at this time it was empty and lonely, no popularity, only a big incense burner was burning a piece of sandalwood, and the aroma spiraled up, leading to the void in the underworld.
Yuchen glanced at it, and did not delay, and went straight into the middle hall, where it was another weather, and there was a statue of a goddess enshrined in the hall, solemn and solemn without desecration.
"Daoist friends are here?"
Under the statue, a Taoist sat on the futon, and when he saw Yu Chen, he didn't say anything, just pointed to another futon next to him and smiled: "Please sit!"
Yu Chen sat down and said unceremoniously: "You are the king!"
"It is the poor road, the purpose of the Taoist friends to come, the poor road is also clear, what happened in the City God Temple today, the poor road is also clear. Guessing that the Taoist friends would come, he asked the pilgrims to go back first. β
"So, the Taoist has been waiting for a long time?"
Wang Daoren didn't care about Yu Chen's words, he said casually: "It's true that I've been waiting for a long time!
"Let you kill the Dong family kid?" Yu Chen sneered: "I don't understand, what did the Dong family kid do wrong to let the three of you join forces?"
"Daoist friends must know?"
"Definitely!"
"That's good!" Wang Daoren nodded and said bluntly: "Do you know that there is a general temple not far from here?"
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Five hundred years ago, the general who was killed by the king?"
"That's him!" Wang Daoren nodded.
"Five hundred years ago, that general was a great soldier and devoted himself to the country, but he was assassinated by the king and was killed by three thousand of his subordinates. After his death, the whole family was even more accused of rebellion by the faint king, and the family was exterminated, and the resentment was overwhelming, leaving only a little obsession to protect the souls of his subordinates. β
"Originally, this was nothing, just one revenant, plus three thousand military souls. There are people in the two veins of Buddhism and Taoism who can suppress them, but at that time, it happened to meet the change of dynasty. However, it made this general the climate, gathered tens of thousands of dead souls, established a Yin Division here, and cultivated the body of a ghost general, and may not be able to explore the realm of ghost kings in the future. β
"Ghost General?" Yu Chen frowned, the Ghost General is different from the Ghost King, it is not the cultivation realm of the Ghost Dao, but a special kind of Ghost Species. Refers to the kind of soul that can control the military soul and arrange the military array, this kind of ghost thing is much more troublesome than the ordinary ghost thing, with the help of the military array, they can mobilize the power of the subordinate ghost things, and when facing the magic power of the two realms of immortals and Buddhas, the resistance will be much stronger.
"So, after the opening of the previous dynasty, the founding lord chose to canonize him, rather than suppress it?"
"Most of the reason is because of this!" Wang Daoren nodded: "In order to appease this general, the previous dynasty also made a bloody investment, not only to help him become a god with national fortune, but also to divide more than a dozen mountains under his name, so that local officials can worship every year." If he hadn't been too foolish and loyal, when this dynasty was opened, he secretly helped the remnants of the previous dynasty, and in another hundred and eighty years, maybe he would be a golden god again, but it's a pity......"
"Does this have anything to do with what I want to know?"
"Naturally, there is!" Wang Daoren motioned for Yu Chen to calm down for a while, and continued: "Because of this general's choice, this dynasty's suppression of him has never ended. He had been exhausted twenty years earlier, when a band of bandits had arrived and destroyed the last village that believed in Him. caused Him to fall into the devil's path again. attracted the national teacher Xuan Xinzi to personally suppress it. β
"The sun and the moon are turning, the general's strength is getting weaker and weaker, and in order to survive, he chooses to be reincarnated. β
Hearing this, Yu Chen still didn't understand that the Dong family's kid Bacheng was the reincarnation of that general.
This could also explain the reason why Chenghuang, Wang Daoren, and Jinghua Zen Master joined forces, and what Chenghuang wanted was the Shinto authority in the hands of the general, to expand his own power, and even that he wanted to start anew.
As for what Wang Daoren and Zen Master Jinghua want, it should be the general himself, as well as the three thousand military souls he sat down.
After all, whether it is in Buddhism or Taoism, the general is a first-class prototype of the protector god, and the three thousand army souls are also the best Taoist materials.
"I don't know if you want a ghost general or a military soul?"
Seeing that Yu Chen already knew the key, Wang Daoren also smiled and said: "The ghost will be the choice of the Mirror Flower Zen Master, before she entered the Dao, there were few methods of killing, and most of them were illusions that deceived people's five senses, so I hope to worship a protector god and bless the disciples." And what I want is naturally the military spirit. β
"I think it's also a military soul!" Yu Chen nodded: "After all, the military soul you need most in this vein!"
After speaking, Yu Chen raised his hand, the cold qi gathered, and a snake-shaped sword light appeared in mid-air with the movement of Yu Chen's hand, turning into a sharp blade and slashing towards the royal man.
The sword light was abrupt, Wang Daoren had no chance to dodge at all, he looked at the falling knife light, bit the tip of his tongue, spit out a small white lotus, met the sword light, and turned into petals and fell.
And the royal man himself disappeared in place at the moment when the petals fell, and appeared next to the idol not far away.
"What a White Lotus Robbery Avoidance Method!Then look at this again!"
Yuchen flicked his long sleeves, and one after another snake shadows flew out, overwhelmingly covering the royal people, these snake shadows were layered on top of each other, dense, and looked a little seeping.
