Chapter 18 Chasing the Murderer in the Cold Night
As far as Buddhism is concerned, the world is divided into six realms: the path of heaven, the path of asura, the path of humanity, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of animals, and the path of hell.
The so-called ghosts in the world are divided into four categories:
The first category is the unjust soul:
Most people still have obsessions after death, unwilling to devote themselves to reincarnation, wandering in the world in search of liberation. Evil spirits feed on yin energy, and most of them eventually run out of aura and disappear into the Three Realms. They will not take the initiative to recruit people, but the yin qi they carry will make people nearby feel uncomfortable, dizzy and dizzy, and after a long time, they will also worry about their lives.
The second category is the ghosts:
Most of these souls are wicked when they are alive, or they are incomplete and cannot be reincarnated after death, or a small number of unjust souls find places where yin qi is dense and are nourished. Most of the ghosts have very simple intelligence, like fierce beasts, in addition to sucking yin qi, they will also forcibly rob human essence to survive.
The third category is karmic ghosts:
After absorbing enough essence, the ghost has opened up his spiritual wisdom and has been able to practice, and he is called a karmic ghost. It is separated from the spirit body, and it is not perishable. It is rumored that a very small number of karmic ghosts are people who have cultivated to a very high level, and the evil thoughts they let go of become independent souls are also classified as karmic ghosts.
The fourth category is non-celestial ghosts:
This kind of creature actually doesn't belong to the Hungry Ghost Dao. It is the creatures of the Hell Dao and the Shura Dao, which often fall into the human world by mistake. They are aggressive because of their hatred, and they are also called ghosts in Buddhism, and they are invisible to mortals.
Originally, there was only a little yin qi in the sky above the flower crab residence, which can attract unjust souls in the middle of the night, so that Ma Xuewen is weak, his head is dizzy, and his body is getting worse. The unfragrant monk removed all these yin qi, but for some reason, after two days, there was suddenly so much yin qi.
However, he said that the situation in the courtyard had changed suddenly, and before Li Bing and a few people could go out, seven or eight powerful ghosts flew out of the yin qi, opening their teeth and dancing their claws, aiming at Li Bing and a few others.
Xiancheng's eyes were quick, and he took a big step, blocking in front of several people, his arms were pushed out, and the vajra in his hand was across his chest.
"Retreat!"
A golden jade stone appeared out of thin air, blocking him and isolating all the evil ghosts.
After hitting the wall, the ghosts seemed to be hit hard, and flew back into the dark clouds of yin qi above their heads, and after a short recovery, they flew out again, as if with this yin qi, their power would not be cut off.
In this way, the golden light and jade can't last long.
Monk Pu Nian came to Hua Crab House to take over, and did not prepare a magic weapon on his body, he took off the Buddha beads, shook them casually, and wrapped them around his right arm.
He made a seal on his hands, and stood alone.
"Sanskrit sound far-reaching"
As soon as the mudra was completed, a phantus appeared behind him, which was one of the 32 Dharma Phases of Buddhism.
"Roar!"
The phantom only existed for a moment, and as Pu Nian shouted, he struck his palms together. The phantom turned into countless points of light, each dragging a long trail, constantly hovering in the courtyard, like thousands of flying swords, forcing all the powerful ghosts back into the clouds.
"Don't be stunned! Let's go!" Xiancheng waved the vajra to disperse a ghost.
Wei Ze knew that he was a drag, so he took the lead and ran away.
There is a specialization in the art industry, even if Li Bing and the others have some ability, but in front of these things, there is nothing they can do, so they have to leave.
"Let's go!" he urged Yinglan'er to go out, and said, "Fourth Uncle Ma, go quickly! β
The three of them went out one after another, Li Bing was just about to leave, the light in the courtyard gradually dimmed, and before he could reach the door, two powerful ghosts flew out of the yin qi, and their size was more than double that of the beginning.
The three senior monks fought separately, and they were not on the near side, so Li Bing had to dodge.
The bronze long stick behind Rimai never left his body, and he turned around and swept it, and the stick was full of green light. The tremendous force caused the air to shoot out two cyclones, splitting the evil ghost in two.
"Let's go!" Li Bing had this short time to spare, and as soon as he took a step, the two powerful ghosts reunited into one and attacked again, and Li Bing could only dodge first.
Stick by stick, Rimai kept scattering, although it could be blocked, but it could not hurt the root.
Pu Nian and Xiancheng are already overstretched to deal with other powerful ghosts, and they can't help. The monk Buxiang originally had a cast iron mallet as a personal weapon, but it was taken away by Uncle Ma's people, and now he doesn't know where it is, he has a heart down: "I'll come!"
Jumping onto the competition platform in three or two steps, he patted his belly, opened his mouth wide, and took a sharp breath.
It is said to be a mouthful, but it is infinite, and it has the power to devour the heavens and the earth, and suck all the air in the courtyard, along with those terrible ghosts, into the stomach.
The belly is constantly getting bigger, and even the chest is swollen, and the whole person is like a meat ball.
As soon as these powerful ghosts were inhaled into his body, he violently held back his breath, and his skin turned cyan with dark clouds.
"Maitreya Fahai!"
The unfragrant monk aimed all his breath at the yin qi in the sky and blew it out in one gulp.
For a while, the wind howled, and the yin qi in the sky was instantly blown away, and even the stars and moon could be seen.
Li Bing and Rimai took the opportunity to leave.
"Smack. As they walked forward, a yin wind closed the door, and the yin qi in the courtyard condensed again.
Li Bing and a few people stood outside the courtyard, only to see the flower crab inside, the golden light kept flashing, and occasionally there was a shocking sound.
"I'll go to Xiangji Temple to ask for help! Don't go in! Disperse!" He was just about to get on his horse, but he saw Rimai staring at the sky on the other side, his expression was solemn, and he dismounted again, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Rimai pointed in one direction to the sky, and wrote on the palm of his hand, "The source of the technique!" and took his bronze long stick as he spoke, and set off.
Li Bing took out the "Tao Sword" on the carriage, carried the light gong, and followed behind.
This was the first time he had seen Rimai's light skills, and he went all out, but he couldn't keep up at all.
Fourth Uncle Ma and Ying Lan'er saw the two of them leaving, and they roughly understood, so they took their blades and followed.
Wei Ze was a perceptive person, he turned on his horse and shouted in the direction of Li Bing: "I'll go find someone to help!"
On the other side, in a small courtyard with yellow clay walls.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in white, handsome. His eyes were slightly closed, he waved a spirit flag in his hand, and there were words in his mouth.
The spirit flag was originally a Yin-Yang or Taoist ritual weapon, generally with a triangular head, a square body, with two long and two short, a total of four tail belts, and the decrees were all over it.
However, the one in his hand is a Buddhist soul flag - on the crimson leather background, painted with the pattern of "Rulai Preaching", not only beautiful color, exquisite brushwork, but also with gold and silver borders, and jewelry embellishment - this kind of painting, called Thangka, is a Buddhist painting of the Tibetan religion.
But what he has in his hand is not an ordinary thangka, this skin is not an ordinary cow and sheep skin, but a human skin that is skinned alive. On the back of the brightly colored pattern are nine hideous faces, not pictures or embroidery, but real human faces.
This magic weapon, called the "Nine-Headed Ghost Face Sail", is a thing left over from the Tibetan cult "Comet Bon" that was exterminated by the Tibetan "Tantra" in the previous dynasties.
In addition to Tantra, Fanzong and the new Zhaozong as the three major sects, there are also many small sects in Tibet, and Comet Bon is one of them.
The movements in the hands of the young man in white became more and more open, and he was playing vigorously, when a slender arm suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed the flagpole of the spirit flag, and dragged the thing from his hand.
The young man's spell was interrupted, he took a step back, and almost fell, he clutched his chest, and looked up at the man who captured the flag: "The surname is Min, what are you doing!" As he spoke, his eyes were full of murderous anger.
The man who captured the flag looked younger, with light brown skin and a brightly colored woven robe. His left hair was tied up high and tied into a bun, and the hair on his right hung down, just covering half of his cheeks, and a pure black kitten was nested on his shoulder.
"Why don't you do it, I'm afraid that you'll be a big deal, so I'm kind enough to remind you!" the man in the flower robe grinned, as if he didn't take the man in white seriously about his injury at all.
"You almost drove me mad!" the man in white coughed.
"Oh, really? I'm sorry then. The robe smiled, held the spirit flag in his hand, swirled in his hand, and with his other hand, he found a clear topaz horn out of nowhere, and showed it to the man in white.
"I said Brother Jing! Chen Qingniu has just left for a while, are you so peaceful? You said that you want to avenge your little apprentice, by the way, find some fun, take out the 'Dayan Yin Wind' and forget it, how can you even use the 'Nine-headed Ghost Face Sail'. The flower robe put away the two things, and said with a smile:
"If the ghost face sail is not useful, will you still use those three 'Jade Mirror Treasure Bottles' in a while?" he leaned into the ear of the man in white and asked again: "Ah~!? Brother Jing?"
"Min Hao!" the man in white was furious and shouted: "You don't have to worry about my business!"
"Oh, yes? Chen Qingniu came back at that moment, if I told him about it, do you think he would care?" Min Hao smiled at him playfully.
"Don't use Venerable Niu to press me. It's not his biggest here!" After speaking, the man in white glanced at a fat man sitting under the porch, as if he wanted to cry for helpβbut the fat man was dozing, his head like a chicken pecking rice, and he made a shallow snoring sound.
This fat man is more than nine feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, and the muscles on his shoulders are thicker than ordinary people's waists, and he sits under the porch, like a hill.
Even if he was still dozing off at the moment, a pair of sledgehammers did not leave his hands - the two sledgehammers were unpretentious, both were short-handled, and the hammer body was a huge round ball, and it was impossible to tell what material it was, it seemed to be stone. Each hammer body is engraved with a word, which is: "Tai!
Min Hao also looked sideways and said with a smile: "Duanmu Jing, although your savior is an eight disciples, you have to listen to Chen Qingniu." Don't get your hopes too up!"
Duanmu Jing rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to make a move, but two girls, one red and one green, walked out next to him.
"Two brothers, don't be angry! My young lady stewed pipa soup with her own hands, drink some soup to quench the fire!"
The red bean carried the tray and went to Min Hao's side first. He was not polite, picked up a bowl casually, and said with a smile: "Wow! Your young lady stewed it with her own hands, and it is oral again!"
Qingdou also took a bowl and handed it to Duanmu Jing. He was still angry, he didn't want it, but the fragrance wafted in front of him, and he was reluctant to refuse, so he took it, just took a sip, his eyes were shining, and he held a spoon and pulled it clean.
Before the bowl was finished, a little girl came out of the back kitchen with a snack.
Min Hao took a sharp breath of aroma and looked at her from afar: "It's amazing, it's amazing." What kind of snack is this, think so. I said Miss Xiaoying, who will take you in the future, but you really want to enjoy oral administration for a lifetime!"
This girl is the young lady of Red Beans and Green Beans, the Venerable Luan of the South Fourth Hall-Ai Xiaoying.
She said softly: "Don't be angry, two brothers, it's rare to get Wanfu Cave, Big Fish Cave, South Fourth Hall, North Fourth Hall and eight disciples to do things together, we should be a little more harmonious." β
Min Hao took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth: "It's still the best girl Xiaoying, unlike some people, who don't have enough success and only know how to make trouble." β
Duanmu Jing glared at Min Hao, and just reached out to get a snack, but was taken away by Min Hao: "Such a delicious thing, don't spoil it for him!"
In the small courtyard, a group of people burst out laughing.
On the other side, Li Binggang chased to the street of the suburban town and saw Rimai standing in place.
"Why don't you chase it?"
Rimai shook his head and wrote in the palm of his hand, "Stopped!"
Li Bing looked around, and in the middle of the night, all the doors were closed, and there was not even a candlelight. Now there are no clues, nothing can be done, and I have no choice but to leave,
He was just about to turn around, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the loess courtyard not far in front of him.
Li Bing clenched the Tao sword in his hand and walked up to the group.
In the loess courtyard, two men and three women were joking, laughing happily, when they suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.
"It's so late, who is it!" Ai Xiaoying put down the tray in her hand and stepped forward to open the door.
