Chapter 3: The Battle of the Demons

Twelve o'clock in the night soon came. The village was quiet, and everyone else slept. Only Liao Nanqiu and a few old friends were still looking around, as if they could find out the ghosts. The Liao brothers didn't believe the old man's words at all, and fell asleep early in the morning. Yun Chong had been sleepy for a long time after walking all day, and he began to fall asleep on the simple bed. Yao Xingyuan, Xuan Ape and Zen Master Lifa and others sat and meditated, seemingly unconcerned about what was going to happen.

The old-fashioned sitting clock in Liao Nanqiu's house struck twelve times, and there was a trace of fluctuation in the calm air, and there was an eerie horror everywhere, as if there was an invisible devil walking around.

The Zen master, who had closed his eyes tightly, opened his eyes violently, pronounced a Buddha name, and said, "It's finally here." Fellow Daoists, let's go out and have a look. At this time, Yao Xingyuan and the others had already stopped meditating and stood up. Yao Xingyuan glanced at Yun Chong, who was still asleep, and was hesitating to wake him up. Xuan Ape sighed and said, "No matter how good he is, now he is still a child after all, let him sleep alone." Even if one or two plague ghosts break in, it's nothing, he has the Buddha light protection body of Bodhidharma, and the plague ghosts come here purely to send them to death. ”

Seeing Liao Nanqiu and the others looking at them with blank eyes, Kusang Dao knew their thoughts in his heart. So he said, "Come with you." It just so happens to be a send-off for the ancestors of your Dadaowan Village. Liao Nanqiu and the others nodded in agreement.

The grave of the village of Avenue Bend is built on the south side of the village, very close to the village. It was a clearing, usually empty, with nothing but weeds. But at this time, it revealed a strong killing atmosphere, making people feel as if they had arrived at the battlefield in ancient times. Suddenly, thick smoke came out of the tomb built by Liao Nanqiu and others back then, which seemed to be real and illusory, making people think that they were in a dream.

The smoke grew more and more, and finally began to gather. Slowly, they all took on the shape of a human being, and although it looked a little swaying in the wind, everyone could tell that it was indeed a human form. These people died in different years and dressed differently. A ghost dressed in Ming Dynasty costume floated slowly and stopped when it was two meters away.

Liao Nanqiu excitedly pointed at the ghost and said, "The person who gave me the dream is him!" These days, he also has some doubts about whether he has Alzheimer's. But when he saw Yao Xingyuan and his party today, he knew that he didn't. At this time, he saw the ghost who dreamed again, and he was even more sure that all this was true.

The ghost performed a Ming Dynasty etiquette, and then said: "We are also a lot relieved that all the immortals can come." Later, we ghosts will fight against the plague ghosts first, so that we can understand the grievances between us and the villagers, so that we can also enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reincarnated as humans. If we can't defeat us in the end, we ask all the immortals to lend a helping hand to help our descendants get through the difficulties. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, this ghost did not speak like a villager, but like a literati. Yao Xingyuan said: "We will naturally do this, you can rest assured." Do you have anything else to say to your descendants, and if so, we can tell you that. ”

The ghost thought for a while, and said: "I was originally the ancestor of the Liao family, my name was Liao Zhongkai, and I was originally a staff member in the military camp of the Ming Dynasty. offended a big official and almost lost his life. Thanks to the marshal at the time, my life was saved. The descendants of the marshal are in this township, and they are also plagued there. I'm too low to go that far. If the immortals can save them for me, I will repay the immortals as a cow and a horse in the next life. He knelt down as he spoke.

Yao Xingyuan gently supported him with one hand, and Liao Zhongkai couldn't kneel. Yao Xingyuan said: "Don't worry, we will naturally do such good deeds." ”

Liao Nanqiu on the side was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. The ghost said that his name was Liao Zhongkai, and he was the ancestor of our Liao family. Isn't that my ancestor? He was just about to say something to ask, when Yao Xingyuan suddenly said, "The plague ghost is here, you go to fight." ”

Liao Zhongkai retreated with his hand. After arriving in the ghost camp, he began to command a group of ghosts and began to form a formation to defend against the enemy. Liao Zhongkai was originally a staff member in the military camp, so he was naturally no stranger to the battle array. In addition, this group of ghosts has been prepared for a long time, waiting for the plague ghosts to come and send them to death.

A cold wind drifted not far away, and the battle array began immediately. Yin Feng seemed to know that it was powerful, and slowly stopped, and the appearance of a plague ghost appeared from it. The ghosts on Liao Zhongkai's side are still the same as they were when they were alive, but the ghosts that appear in the yin wind are different. Each of them is different, but what they have in common is that they are scary.

These plague ghosts are all blue-faced and fanged, grinning, and eyebrows, including headless ghosts who take off their heads and throw them in the air, hanged ghosts with tongues sticking out three feet long, and immoral ghosts who have no heart and lungs. In a word, as long as you can tell, the ghost can be seen here.

There are also leaders among the plague ghosts. The leader's insight was also extraordinary, and he saw the group of ghosts blocking the road in front of him arranging the formation. He shouted, "You are all ghosts, why are you standing in our way?" ”

Liao Zhongkai didn't answer, and rushed in with a wooden knife in his hand and a group of ghosts. In an instant, the sound of killing sounded, and the screams of ghosts could be heard all the time. Yao Xingyuan and these cultivators are fine, but Liao Nanqiu and a few other old men have seen this kind of scene, and they are so frightened that they spread on the ground.

The number of village ghosts and plague ghosts was equal, but they took advantage of the ground power and battle array, and quickly controlled the situation. The plague ghost was killed to the point where he could only resist, and there was no way to fight back. The leader of the plague ghosts was so angry that his already blue face became even greener, and he said angrily: "You guys who don't know how to lift, dare to harm the Yin and Yang Dharma King, and you will have to scatter your soul. We'll see you later. After saying that, he gathered the remnants of the army, and the defeated general was about to leave.

Yao Xingyuan and the others will let them leave so easily. In terms of transforming ghosts, Buddhist disciples are undoubtedly the best. Xuan Ape said: "I'm in trouble with the Dharma Zen Master." ”

The Dharma Zen master said: "It is my Buddhist duty to punish evil and promote good, and there is no trouble to talk about." With that, take a step forward. Gao Xuan Buddha, "Amitabha." From where to go back and forth. Let the old man give you a ride. "The Dharma Zen Master's body emitted thousands of feet of Buddha light, and all places within a radius of one mile were wrapped in Buddha light. The village ghosts and plague ghosts in the Buddha light began to turn into particles, first the feet, then the legs, slowly moving upward. The plague ghost wails in pain, while the village ghost has a serene face.

Liao Zhongkai smiled lightly: "Thank you Buddha for your success." The other village ghosts also followed: "Thank you Buddha for your success, thank you for the immortal." As soon as the words fell, the whole body turned into particles and went away with the wind.

At this time, the villagers of Dadaowan Village were awakened by the shouting and killing just now, and they rushed here to see this scene. They were all speechless in astonishment. Liao Nanqiu and several other old men looked surprised, but after being illuminated by the light of the Dharma Zen Master Buddha, they improved a lot. Yao Xingyuan saw that there were many villagers around, so he said, "It's okay, let's go back to sleep." ”
