Yuanbei Zhenren did not dare to slack off, nodded his right index finger in the palm of his hand along the palm of his hand along the book of a Vermilion Bird Talisman, secretly in his hand, and saw that Vimo Sanskrit mantra gradually rose a piece of golden light to envelop the three people, Yuanbei Zhenren's left hand suddenly rose, a colorful winged Vermilion Bird flew out of the palm, flying in the golden light, the Sanskrit sound was swirling, the bird was singing clearly, the colorful light and the golden light wrestled with each other, all tried to overshadow each other and couldn't, the room was radiant, and the colorful golden light couldn't hold each other for a while.

Yuanbei Zhenren knew that there were masters in the temple outside who wanted to compete, and gave him a dismount, but after all, he was ordered to come to talk about peace, once he injured the monk in the temple, he was afraid that he would not be able to get by, and he saw that this Vima Sanskrit mantra was menacing, he may not be his opponent, if he was defeated, the face of Longhu Mountain would also be lost, and it would be difficult to explain it when he went back, it was really a dilemma, so he had to try his best to maintain, the Vermilion Bird Fu in his left hand did not dare to relax at all, the other party was afraid that he had the same thoughts, and the golden light of the Sanskrit mantra was also not increased or decreased, and it was difficult to ride a tiger。

When it was difficult for the two sides to end, the monk of the Moon Hall had already seen it in his eyes, got up and threw the rosary in his right hand, and the rosary flew into the sky above the golden light, "Senior Brother of the Moon Corridor, stop quickly, the Yuanbei Immortal Master is a good intention, why do you have to do this?" Before the words fell, I saw that the rosary emitted a yellow circle of light, which instantly absorbed the light of the Vimo Sanskrit mantra and the Vermilion Bird Talisman, the Sanskrit sound stopped, the Vermilion Bird was invisible, Wang Yi and Liu Er turned around at this time, only to hear the shouting outside the door: "The poor monk is rude, Longhu Mountain is a magic rune, and today I have learned it!"

Yuanbei Zhenren put away the golden talisman in his left hand, got up and went out to check, there was no trace, secretly thinking that this person's ascension technique should be above me, it is really a divine dragon to see the beginning and not the end, the monk of the Moon Hall smiled behind him: "Let the Yuanbei Immortal Master laugh, my junior brother of the Moon Corridor is stubborn by nature, rude and rude!"

"What did the master say, the right Vima Sanskrit mantra is really amazing, but it is a pity that the poor Dao has no chance to see this high monk. Yuanbei Zhenren turned around and entered the house, after this competition, he knew that Linggu Temple Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, this abbot presided over the mana is profound, Shicai just used a string of prayer beads, then resolved the duel between the two masters, secretly admired in his heart, returned to his seat, saw that Wang Yi and Liu Er were fine, and the monk of the Moon Hall arranged to serve tea.

"Longhu Mountain Lingyun Guanguan Lord's good intentions, poor monk heart, Yuetang junior brother and your sect protector real person Liu Dianzong misunderstanding, please don't take it to heart, wait for Yuetang junior brother to return to the temple, poor monk must persuade him, Buddhism and Taoism are all monks, should be practiced together, participate in Zen enlightenment, and the world is not prosperous, the ghost road is growing, the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism should join hands to support justice, is a good fellow practitioner with Linggu Temple, it is naturally the luck of Buddhism, the luck of the world. "The monk of the Moon Hall is coloring.

Yuanbei Zhenren left his seat and gave a deep salute, "The poor road is here, and it is precisely the order of the Lord to want to form a good fellowship with Linggu Temple, what the abbot said is very reasonable." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and replaced the teacup, drank tea, talked about some Buddhist mysteries, the monk of the Moon Hall saw that the true humanity of Yuanbei was profound, the views were unique, and he was also very admired, so he intended to stay in Linggu Temple, the three of them stayed in Niushou Mountain for a few days, and waited until the day of the snow, climbed the eastern peak of Niushou Mountain, looked at the snow scene in the mountain, the mountains and deep gullies in the distance, the vast area, like an ink landscape painting, and coincided with the sunset, the glow of ten thousand rays burst out, the red light reflected on the snow, the dazzling eyes of each other, there was a sense of fairyland on earth, there was also a hole in the blessed land outside the Dragon and Tiger MountainWhen the monk of the Moon Court and the scarface monk Zhu Zaiying first arrived in the Buddhist cave under the snowy mountain, the real people of Yuanbei did not know that the time for several people to meet had not yet come.

The original Niushou mountain is close to Tianfu, the east and west two peaks stand on the bank of the Yangtze River, since the Southern Dynasty Liu Song Xiaowu Emperor Ming five years (461), the monk Pizhi monk in this mountain penance, later stand to become a Buddha, the Buddhist door here is endless, has always been a monk Xianji, celebrities come out in large numbers, at the beginning of the founding of the Hongwu Emperor, it is to set up here as the location of the Buddha Lu Division, in charge of Buddhism in the world, but later Cheng Zu moved north, the Buddha Lu Division also moved to the North Zhili Tianjie Temple, the status of the Linggu Temple plummeted, and can no longer return to the previous glory.

Two days later, the real person of Yuanbei said goodbye to the monk of the Moon Palace, led the apprentice down the mountain, when leaving, the monk of the Moon Hall sent a yellow cloth scroll, "Although the poor monk is not as good as the monk of the junior brother Yueting has a god, but also often under the pen to copy the scriptures, this volume is the poor monk hand-copied Sanskrit "Diamond Sutra", and after the family teacher Tianjie elder 7749 days to the blessing of Buddhism, but there are some wonderful uses, I hope the real person accepts, talk about the heart. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Yuanbei Zhenren leaned over to accept the scroll with both hands, knowing that this mission had been successfully completed, and hurriedly said goodbye and went down the mountain.

The three people were satisfied, and the road was much brisker than before, but they didn't expect to take a few steps wrong, they should have gone all the way south towards Jiangxi, but they came in the direction of Taihu Lake, and went straight to the foot of Donglu Mountain in Lishui County, only to find that the direction was wrong, Yuanbei Zhenren didn't care, the matter has been done, and it might as well walk a few more days on the road, the three of them saw that it was late, so they found a common person at the foot of the mountain to stay, this family just had a firewood room empty, piled up some hay, Chopping firewood, the three of them couldn't take care of much, and asked the head of the household to make a simple wine and dinner, so they had to spend one night in the firewood room, and then turn back to the southwest tomorrow.

Sleeping until midnight, only to listen to the silence outside, the night wind howling, Yuanbei Zhenren was suddenly awakened by a low voice, he sat up and listened attentively, the wind outside seemed to be a little strange, the cold was pressing, the sword beside him was also ready to move, making a slight low sound, he saw that the two apprentices were sleeping soundly, so he got up and went out of the firewood room, jumped on the roof, and sneaked into the room to watch.

A bright moon in the sky is in the sky, shining in all directions, only to see half a mile away is a mountain road to the south, the cold wind on the road is howling, the snow covers the ground, the shadows of the trees are swaying, not to mention the shadow of people, not even a hare is gone.

Yuanbei Zhenren wondered that he heard some strange sounds in the room, this mountain road seems to be normal, and there are no ghosts, when he was about to go down, suddenly the ghost fire on the mountain road flashed, and a green light appeared on the snow, and in the green light and shadow, a team of hurrying Yakshas, wandering spirits, half-human and half-beast monsters, and strange-shaped spirit monsters showed their shapes, wearing white, red, black, naked, and some showed beasts, The shape of domestic animals, and a few large black birds hovering and flying low over the team, these ghosts and spirits were all different, I am afraid that there were hundreds of them, and they all hurried in silence, like a well-trained team.

In front of the team is a tall half-human fox, the upper body is humanoid, the lower body is still in the shape of a beast, with a red scarf on his head, a fluffy red tail dragged behind him, the demon fox is holding an oil lamp that emits a green faint light, covered with a lampshade in the shape of a gluttonous head, leading the way in front, those ghosts and monsters, all following him, lined up in a column to march slowly south, for a time the mountain road is full of ghosts, and the wind is gusting. The whole book

"I didn't expect to see a hundred ghosts walking at night here. The self-defense sword Chixiao Sword behind the real person of Yuanbei faintly has the meaning of being unsheathed, "A hundred ghosts will travel at night, and there will be disasters." He held the sword in one hand to prevent it from disturbing the ghosts in the team, while staring at the team advancing with the green light, he heard the fox leading the way make a ghost whisper in the cold wind, the voice was extremely low, as if urging the ghosts to move forward, Yuanbei Zhenren was quite proficient in spells, and listened carefully:

"Brothers and sisters of all families, ghosts are often bitter, poor food, today there is Zhenze Emperor issued a gluttonous order, invite the world's ghosts and immortals to celebrate his wedding, the emperor has prepared a big blood food banquet in Taihu Lake, gluttony, blood food three worlds, frozen Taihu Lake, come quickly!"

It turned out to be a gluttonous order! This thing has disappeared in the ghost road for a long time, it is made by the ancestor of Xuanzhou Feng, there are a total of sixty-four lamps, the order is under the lamp, the green light emitted can attract the ghosts to gather, fascinate their minds, hundreds of years ago five hundred ghost kings and immortals before the battle of Tianmen Mountain, the ancestor of the phoenix used the gluttonous order to gather tens of thousands of ghosts to help the war, and then the ancestor of the phoenix died in battle, the gluttonous order is missing, I can't think of appearing here today, I heard the demon fox say that they are going to Taihu Lake to go to the banquet, presumably Taihu Lake is going to have a bloody rain, I am a person of cultivation, can not sit idly by, think about it, Yuanbei Zhenren pulled out of the room, entered the door, saw that the two apprentices were still sleeping, and picked up a half-burned firewood stick on the ground, wrote a few words on the wall, and told the apprentice to escort the Diamond Sutra scroll back to the mountain first, and the master had to take a step in advance.

After writing, he went out and closed the door gently, jumped out of the farmhouse, quietly followed the team of the hundred ghosts walking at night, and disappeared into the white mountains with the green fire.

Although it is the third watch day at night, on Shangtang Street outside the gate of Suzhou, the taverns along the street are brightly lit, and the business is still booming, and those who travel at night are also in groups, in an endless stream.

Walk into Shangtang Street, look up and see the first tavern Mingyue Lou's wine flag waving in the wind, a few strong and powerful characters flashed in the red light of the lantern, it is said that the three words of the Moon Tower are the Tang Dynasty poet Chen Ziang inscribed, Chen Ziang passed by Yangzhou that year, in a tavern drinking and chanting poetry, the hotel owner heard that it is a great poet from Luoyang, Kyoto, how can he meet a master and lose it, he offered ten taels of gold, intended to ask for Mobao, that Chen Ziang is the time of drinking, not to mention the resignation, put pen to paper:

Qingfeng Langyuan 3,000 guests, the first floor of Yangzhou in Mingyue.

At the moment, the shopkeeper was overjoyed, offering gold as a reward, Chen Ziang is such a handsome and elegant person, casually scattered the gold to everyone, only asked for a drunk party, leaving a good story, since then the tavern has been renamed Mingyue Building, presumably this is a branch of Suzhou.

Mingyue Building has two floors, because of the cold weather, the wine seat on the second floor is not full, usually, here all night long is full of seats, guests have to pre-locate a month in advance.

The window seat was empty, but there was still a bronze lampstand lit in it, and three red candles were lit, and this place was rich, which was the dignity of the shop, and the place where the fire flickered, if you looked through the black screen window on the street, it was a little hazy and quiet, no wonder those scholars, literati, rich merchants and bureaucrats flocked to it.

A gust of wind blew through the screen window, the light and shadow of the candle flickered, a woman in white sat in front of the wine seat, her hair was combed, coiled into a phoenix tail bun, inserted into a silver gold-plated dot emerald Ruyi cloud hairpin, wearing a plum blossom pattern women's dress with a white background, her face was pale white, and there was a coldness between her eyebrows, she was the disciple of Banana Tail Niangniang, the yaksha Qiu Niang in the ghost clan, Qiu Niang sat in front of the wine seat, patted the table with one hand, knocked on the table with five fingers, and did not squint, and the drinkers at the nearby wine table did not know when she came in, and several people muttered to themselves.

In the interval between the dishes on other tables, the shopkeeper was happy to see this empty seat coming, but he thought that he didn't greet the female guest upstairs on the first floor, which was a little strange, but after all, he was a guy who had seen a big scene, and he still bowed his head and bent over, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile, "This young lady, forgive the small eyes, I didn't greet you to come up, what kind of wine and food are you ordering, our Mingyue Lou is from Yangzhou, and the main Huaiyang dishes ——"

"Take a pot of cold wine, serve four cold dishes, ask for sashimi in the intestine, cold sea cucumber, vinegar-soaked peanuts, and sashimi. Qiu Niang didn't wait for the guy to start reporting the name of the dish and opened her mouth, the things she ordered, all raw and cold things, naturally it was a ghost thing to enjoy, the shopkeeper was a little hesitant, I had never heard of running in the middle of the night to drink cold wine, eat large intestine sashimi, and it was so cold this day, but looking at this woman's expression, it didn't look like a joke, so I had to agree hard, and went downstairs singing the name of the dish, "A pot of cold wine, large intestine sashimi, cold sea cucumber, vinegar-soaked peanuts, sashimi, it's good right away!" This shouting, almost didn't scare the people in the whole restaurant, don't say that this day, even in the dog days, ordinary people can't stand eating and drinking like this, everyone thinks it's a ghost, it's indeed a ghost.

The guests on the second floor were curious about Qiu Niang, a few bold asked each other, no one knew, everyone's eyes swept over intentionally or unintentionally, although Qiu Niang was a little raw, but there was nothing else unusual, like a person who had made an appointment, in case it was a lover of a wealthy businessman and a high-ranking official who met here, these drinks and dishes may be a code, and it is very likely, so everyone has their own scruples in their hearts, and they dare not ask.

After a while, there was another gust of wind, bigger than when Qiu Niang came, the candle shadow on the second floor was shaking, almost extinguished, when the wind lived, and then looked at Qiu Niang's table, there were already four more people, dressed differently, two of them were high-ranking officials, one was wearing a scarlet official uniform, wearing a hat on his head, the other was a cyan official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat on his head, and the other two people, one was a soldier, his left hand was still wounded, his elbow was wrapped in a strip of cloth, his chin was full of a short beard, and the other was a showman, gray and white silk robe, wearing a four-flat scarf on his head, and he was dressed as a well-mannered scholar。

The drinkers on the second floor can't sit still, Shicai has seen this woman come inexplicably, how is it a gust of wind, and inexplicably came to four, is it really a ghost, or go first for the better, have checked out and left, the shop Xiao Er went to the second floor with wine and food, saw everyone panicked and left, couldn't stop it, was wondering to himself, looked back and saw that there were four people sitting on this and I don't know when, I was also surprised, the wine plate in my hand wanted to see that I had to take off my hand and land, only to see that Xiucai among the four people, suddenly got up, moved to the side of the shop Xiao Er in two steps, held the wine plate, and said with a smile: "Disturbed, disturbed, it seems that this second floor is going to be covered by our four friends in Wuzhong tonight. After that, he didn't care about the shopkeeper, took the wine tray and returned to his seat to sit down, the shopkeeper also knew in his heart that these were not ordinary guests, so he said a few slow uses, turned around and didn't go back downstairs.
