Chapter 5 Give face
It was the third watch of the night, in a meditation room in Xiangguo Temple.
"the mother!the mother!the mother!" Fahai turned pale, and his mouth couldn't stop scolding.
Jingxuan, the presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple, had just left, and before leaving, he announced Li Shimin's decision and disqualified Fahai from participating in the water and land.
The problem is serious.
Without the approval of King Tang, he would not be able to participate in this conference, and the stage tasks of the system would not be completed.
"Okay, you Li Er, you actually came with me for this hand?"
After taking a few deep breaths in a row, Fahai forced his emotions to stabilize and began to think about countermeasures.
The first way to think of is to solve it by force, early tomorrow morning, no matter how others stop you, no need to talk nonsense, a pair of iron fists to solve it all.
But there is a risk that the system will determine the criteria for the completion of the task.
Li Shimin, as the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, is also the decision-maker of this water and land conference, and once his order is issued, it will have the authority of legal principles.
Of course, with the appearance of an immortal, you can force your way into the puja, but can the purpose achieved in that way be regarded as "participation"?
After much deliberation, this option was finally eliminated by him.
Calming down, Fahai paced left and right in the meditation room, constantly rummaging in his mind for countermeasures.
This monotonous act lasted for about two quarters of an hour, and then, a sinister smile appeared on the old monk's face, and Fahai's eyes revealed a little ominous essence.
"Hey, hey, hey...... I can't be blamed for that. ”
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, at noon. Chen Xuanzang, the great expounder, was ordered by the Tang King to gather 1,200 monks and set up an altar in the Great Xiangguo Temple to perform all the wonderful scriptures, and surpass the dead.
On this day, the once bustling Suzaku Street was empty, and almost hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Chang'an gathered nearby, old and young, women and children, officials and beggars, rich gentry and talented people, which showed the extreme pomp and circumstance.
Tang King Li Shimin sat on the throne of the high platform directly south of the altar, and Xuanzang was far away.
"Such a grand occasion, it can be seen that the people of Chang'an also have the heart of Buddha. Li Shimin sighed.
Under him, Prime Minister Wei Zheng was dressed in a red vermilion robe, his face was full of majesty, and his jaw answered:
"This is all Your Majesty's sage, and the people naturally treat each other with sincerity. ”
"Wei Qing has said it, at this time, what I am thinking in my heart is that with Master Xuanzang's Buddhist practice, I will be able to successfully surpass the wronged ghosts and untie the knot in my heart. ”
Wei Zheng bowed down and said to Li Shimin: "The Holy Son of Heaven is blessed by a hundred spirits, and with Your Majesty's holy virtue, God will also help with all his heart. ”
Li Shimin laughed, obviously hearing Wei Zheng's words, he was in a good mood.
"Wei Qing is not only the prime minister of my Tang Dynasty, but also Cao Xianguan, the person in charge of heaven and man, I believe what you say, hahahaha. ”
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the most sunny time of the day was at this time. Master Xuanzang looked at the celestial phenomena and saw that it was time to perform the Fa, so he said to the surrounding monks under the secondary stage:
"The hour has come, chanting!"
As soon as he gave the order, the chanting of thousands of monks in the field resounded almost simultaneously. Then I only heard bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and its momentum was huge, soaring into the sky.
Forty miles east of Chang'an City, there is a mass grave, where it was originally a battlefield site of the former Sui, and it was quiet on weekdays, but at this time it was surprisingly lively.
"Out of the future! out of the future!"
A few shouts came out of the ground abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, on the loess of the barren tomb, a big black hole was suddenly revealed, looking at the size, the length and radius were nearly forty zhang!
A large group of ghosts gushed out of the cave, and the number seemed to be endless.
The jet stream of supermassive ghosts continued for nearly a quarter of an hour before stopping. At this time, the entire ground and sky of the mass grave were occupied by ghosts.
"Be steady, you pickles!" Niu Tou is a veteran ghost in the underworld, and his qualifications are quite old. But this is the first time I've seen a battle of this magnitude, to be honest.
After Ma Xiang finished explaining to the hundreds of ghosts who accompanied him, he came up.
"Old Niu, this time our lords have opened their eyes. It's been thousands of years since I was on errand, and for the first time, hundreds of thousands of ghost cubs have been mobilized. ”
The bull's eyes widened, and it glanced at the horse's face, and said:
"Yes, the more there are, the more difficult it is to maintain order, so we two have to keep an eye on it, and the province will go back and be punished by Yan Jun. ”
"Then King Tang's Laoshzi puja is almost starting now, shall we start too?" Ma Mian looked a little impatient.
The bull head glanced in the direction of Chang'an City, looked at the sky again, nodded, and then shouted at the ghosts in the sky:
"Gather all of them for me, don't fly around, stay where you are, wait for the Buddha's light to descend from the sky, and surpass the ghost body. ”
Hearing the sound of the scattered ghosts in the sky, they slowly gathered, shrunk in scale, and moved closer to the center of the bull's head.
It is strange to say that these evil ghosts are all soldiers who were killed and injured under the war of the previous dynasty, and most of them were extremely vicious and murderous murderers who did not blink an eye. But at this time, when I heard the bull's head, they all obediently gathered over, and none of them made a mistake.
Seeing that all the ghosts obeyed the orders in a proper manner, the junior ghosts all looked at him with reverence, and the bull head was naturally a little proud in his heart. But at this moment, an expected mess appeared.
The bull-headed horse glanced at each other, and then looked at the place where the "chaos" was going to be. I saw that among the ghosts, three or five ghosts were chained to an old man in prison clothes, and the old man was shouting loudly at the moment:
"This king is not convinced, if I don't ask Li Shimin for a clearing, I won't be able to accept the transcendent Buddha light! Let go of me! Let go of me!"
The two of them stepped forward, and the bull head said to the old man in prison clothes: "Jinghe old dragon, then the Tang King has already suffered from you before, why do you insist on it?"
The old man is the Dragon King of Jinghe, he was killed by Cao Guan Wei Zheng and his dream for stealing rain points, and after his death, he turned into a dragon ghost to find Li Shimin for revenge, and was finally captured by the underworld.
"Phew, what's the trouble? Isn't that treacherous villain still alive and well? If I don't let him end up like me, how can I get rid of the evil spirit in my heart? You sesame desert in the underworld dare to lock me up and ask the king of the Ten Palaces to talk to me!"
Seeing that he was so faceless, Niu Tou Ma Mian was furious when he heard this, and his words were not polite at the moment.
"Hmph, I read that you were once the dragon king, so I persuaded you with good words. Let me tell you, although you had the cultivation of a heavenly immortal in your lifetime, but now you are just a ghost body, and your cultivation has been greatly reduced, and you are bound by my earthly magic weapon soul chain. I advise you to be honest, and if you dare to make trouble again, be careful of my whip!"
The bull head wanted to scold a few more words, but this is the horse next to him and pulled its sleeve.
"Old Niu, look there. ”
"What?" the bull head was stunned, and turned his head randomly to look at the place where the horse's face was pointing.
I saw that due west, on the wasteland at the edge of the grave, there was a figure walking towards them.
"It can't be a lost mortal, right?" said the bull head, frowning.
"Mortals are already half frightened to death when they see these hundreds of thousands of ghosts, how can they dare to come over like him?" Ma Mian refuted on the spot.
As the man approached, he found that the comer seemed to be deliberately hiding his appearance, dressed in black and even blocking his face, and then he noticed a trace of abnormality, and shouted in a loud voice:
"The underworld is here on an errand, and those who come stop quickly!"
In the face of the deafening shouts, the man turned a deaf ear, and under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of evil ghosts, a pair of steps were like a leisurely stroll, and he actually looked at the group of ghosts in front of him as if they were nothing.
"Yo, it's not good. ”
The two brothers glanced at each other again, each sneered, and then pulled out the soul chain, beat the ghost whip, and greeted them with their fists.
Except for the monkey five hundred years ago, these two brothers really haven't seen a second person have such courage.
"I don't care who you are, this is an errand for the underworld, if you don't stop, you should be punished with death!"
The man in black was still deaf, and in the face of the madman who had ignored the warning twice, the bull head and horse face had already made a murderous intent. The two of them flashed their ghost bodies, and each attacked left and right.
In the face of the two rushing with short whips and chains, the man in black didn't react much, just leaned forward and stomped down with his right foot.
It's this understatement stomping!
"Boom!"
It was as if there had been a magnitude 7 earthquake, and the ground within a radius of tens of meters was shaken to pieces by the force of this foot.
Tens of thousands of tons of soil were blown into the air several feet high, and the bull-headed horse face that rushed forward was excited by the shock wave of this huge force, and the ghost body was scattered, and he let out an exclamation of "Mom", drilled into the ground at a very fast speed, and fled in the wilderness.
In just a moment, the two ghosts were frightened by this regrettable blow. The two old ghosts are old fritters who have been mixing in the underworld for thousands of years, and they will never do anything to kill them. With a good heart, he immediately left behind hundreds of thousands of ghosts and hundreds of colleagues, and fled for his life.
The two leaders ran away, and a group of younger brothers naturally had no reason to stay, and they ran away in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of unjust souls and evil ghosts looked at each other, facing Fahai who was walking slowly like a fierce god, and they were at a loss.
Tearing off the black cloth covering his face, Fahai looked at the group of ghosts present who were as quiet as cicadas, and nodded with satisfaction.
"I have something I want to ask you for help, I wonder if you can give me a face? Oh, don't be afraid, it's okay if you don't help, I'm ...... Very good to talk to. ”
In the face of such gentle words, the group of ghosts present shivered at the same time, and then, Nene nodded.
