Chapter 9: Demons

Qingyuan Palace was built in five years with Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, continued to be built in the eighteenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, and was cultivated in the first year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, and has a history of hundreds of years. Although it is called to commemorate the sage Li Bing, who is grateful for the blessings and blessings, and prays for the prosperity of the cause of the wind and rain, it is actually a place of practice built by the great practitioners of the Ming Dynasty for their disciples when they see that the spiritual energy is abundant here. Qingyuan Palace is surrounded by mountains and rivers to receive the aura of heaven and earth, which is not much better than the blessed land of the major immortal mountains, and it is a rare place to practice.

Qingyuan Palace Taoist is divided into the inner gate and the outer door, and the outer gate is specially used to hold four temple fairs every year, namely "Shangjiuhui", "Qingjiao Meeting", "Sichuan Master Meeting", and "Light Pole Meeting". The four temple fairs were attended by people from near and far, and the merchants also took the opportunity to sell farm tools and native products, and the inner door practitioners would also take advantage of the temple fair to recruit qualified disciples to enter the inner gate to practice. And what ordinary people know is only the prosperous temple fair of Qingyuan Palace, and what they see is only the Taoist people of the outer gate, the real cultivators, but they have never seen it on weekdays.

The Taoists of the outer gate specialize in dealing with mundane matters, and the practitioners of the inner gate pray for blessings and Jiao sacrifices to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

This time, the "Great Master Bodhisattva" warned that as the head of the inner door, the old Taoist priest personally went out of the mountain, in order to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, and return the world to peace.

This is easy to say, but it is actually difficult. He also knows that there is a long way to go, but if the door is not out, how can the world be peaceful and how can the common people be saved.

The river beach, the fog fills the iron cable cold.

Although the sun was already shining outside after the dawn, the river under the shade of the mountain was still gusting with a cloudy wind, as if there was a ghost crying and howling.

The old Taoist priest didn't dare to be careless, twisted the spell, and walked cautiously towards the thick fog.

In the dense fog, people and animals could not be distinguished from five meters away. The old Taoist priest pinched the knot and followed suit, and there seemed to be a cyclone rising around his body, splitting the dense fog and moving forward.

After a short time, the old Taoist priest came to the place where the water ghost dragged the woman into the water as mentioned by Uncle Li. It was a staircase made of several large bluestone slabs, which used to be the place where the nearby villagers washed their clothes and washed rice. Perhaps because of the impact of the flood, those bluestone slabs were a little messy, and they were sunk in the water. And because of the water ghost pulling people, it has been shelved, and no one dares to come to the river to repair it.

The old Taoist priest stepped forward cautiously, the water in this place did not seem to be too deep, and wisps of black algae were like women's hair floating in the water.

The old Taoist priest frowned slightly, and said to himself, "Could it be that the rumored water ghost is this algae?"

He had also experienced the water ghost pulling people before, but when he went down the mountain to check, he found that it was just a rumor, and the water ghosts of the Nala people were just algae in the water. The man who fell into the water, because he was panicked, got entangled in his legs by algae, and thought that there was a ghost underwater.

"Impossible!" This time the old Taoist priest quickly denied his guess, because he had already felt an unusual Yin Qi, which was wafting out of the river at this time.

He was sure that there must be evil spirits in this river. And the evil in the river is certainly not an ordinary ghost.

At this moment, the water in the river was like boiling water, and the yin qi was soaring, and a huge whirlpool rolled up in the river, and countless yin spirits roared out of the whirlpool with the murderous yin qi that rushed to the sky.

The old Taoist priest frowned, quickly pinched a knot in his hand, and read aloud: "Taishang Xingxing, the strain will not stop." Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life. Wisdom is clear and the mind is at peace. The three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul. ”

This is the heart purification mantra, the first of the eight Taoist mantras, which has the effect of protecting the soul and protecting the soul. The avenue is inductive and ubiquitous. It can drive away evil spirits, and those who promote and protect the righteous path and protect the path can be physically and mentally well-being, and will not be disturbed by ghosts.

As soon as this spell came out, the old Taoist priest's body was even more cyclone, and a golden light came out of his body, like a transparent golden barrier enveloping his body. It was this golden barrier that blocked the yin qi surging out of the river, so that he could not be invaded by the yin qi.

The yin soul that roared out of the whirlpool hovered above the old Taoist's head for a while, let out a terrible scream, and rushed towards the old Taoist priest in the golden barrier.

I could only hear the sound of violent impacts, and the ghosts that frantically hit the golden barrier turned into wisps of black smoke and wailed in an instant. But more ghosts rushed forward without fear of death.

The golden barrier could protect the old Taoist for a while, but it couldn't protect him for a lifetime. Soon, the golden barrier began to look faint under the violent impact of the Yin Spirit, and a trace of cracking began to appear in the weak spots. As long as those Yin Spirits hit a few more times, the golden light of the old Daoist's protective body would be completely shattered.

But seeing the change in the law knot in the old Taoist's hand, he only heard a low roar: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root." The light of the sky, the light of the earth, the light illuminates the ten directions, and I am as anxious as the law of the Taishang Laojun. ”

As soon as the spell stopped, he saw that the golden light around the old Taoist priest was even more blazing, and the golden barrier that was originally crumbling turned into thousands of golden lights in an instant, shooting towards the yin soul that fell from the sky like a roaring golden sword.

I only heard the wailing sound everywhere, and the heavenly yin soul that rushed towards the old Taoist priest at a rapid speed instantly turned into wisps of black yin qi and disappeared with the wind.

The name of the mantra recited by the old Taoist priest is "Golden Light Divine Mantra", a volume of divine light mantra, the object is like a sky, and when the golden light mantra is recited, all the gods give it up. The whole article is: Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root. Cultivating hundreds of millions of eons of eons proves my supernatural powers. Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one. There is a golden light in my body, which reflects my body. Blind to it, not to hear it. Heaven and earth Xuanzong, the root of Wan Qi. Covering the world and nurturing the masses. Recite it 10,000 times, and there is light in your body. The guards of the Three Realms, the Five Emperors welcome. All gods salute and harness the thunder. Demons are frightened, and spirits are dead. There is a thunderbolt inside, and the god of thunder is incognito. The wisdom of the hole is thorough, and the five are soaring. The golden light appeared quickly, covering my body. The light of the sky, the light of the earth, the light of the sun, the moon and the stars, the great light of the ordinary. The light illuminates the ten directions, and I am as anxious as the law of the Taishang Laojun.

This spell advocates the inner alchemy of the light and the original god to protect the body, and subdue the demon to defend the way! This spell is powerful because of its wide range of uses. Therefore, it is a secret mantra of the Daomen, and its mantra hides the method of cultivation.

The cultivation methods of each sect are also different, and the folk Taoist schools also have many secret methods about this mantra, or use this mantra to tie the golden light as a talisman, or use the hidden golden light to refine it into a pill, or enlighten the Tao and cultivate the truth, and the thunder god guards, or bless the magic weapon and steal the sky. The golden light is the enlightenment of the Tao and the divine light of the gods. The golden man is strong and not bad, and the seeker has a wide range of mystical skills, and the brilliance is outside, which is enough to drive away ghosts, kill demons, and serve gods. Such as the strength and unyielding of gold, scorching and heyi, is the golden light.

The old Taoist priest has been cultivating for decades, and he has already mastered the golden light divine mantra, although he can't drive the god general, but he can kill demons and slay demons. Seeing that the sky was full of gloom and ghosts dissipated, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but gasp heavily. Although this Golden Light Divine Spell is extremely powerful, the consumption is extremely heavy, and if there is no strong true power support in the body, it will be difficult to continue.

After a little breathing, the old Taoist priest raised his eyes to look at the whirlpool that was still churning and churning in the river, and his heart couldn't help but sink. With a slight sigh, he flew out of the foggy riverbank.

At this time, Hu Yan and Wuqiu, who had finished meditating, had been waiting by the river, and faintly heard wailing in the thick fog, and the golden light exploded, and he was worried about the safety of the master, but he saw the master floating out of the thick fog, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master, are you okay?"

The old Taoist priest patted Hu Yan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay to be a teacher." ”

Uncle Li, who had never seen such a scene, looked at the old Taoist priest with a shocked face and said, "I'm scared to death, what happened to the old fairy just now?"

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

Seeing that the master's face was a little bad, he hurriedly helped the old Taoist priest to go inside: "Master, did you find anything when you went to the river to investigate?"

The old Taoist priest walked into the thatched hut and sat down cross-legged, and said with a heavy face: "I just fought with the demons in the river, and I was extremely powerful. Those seductive water ghosts were really driven by people. ”

Hearing what the master said, Hu Yan's face couldn't help but show a trace of worry: "Master, what should I do now, is there a way to cure the demons in the river?"

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly: "Although that demon is extremely powerful, it is not impossible to cure him. ”

Hu Yan, who was following behind, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the old Taoist priest, and asked anxiously, "Master, what can you do to deal with this guy?"

The old Taoist priest blew the tea leaves in the cup, took a sip of tea and said, "If you want to subdue it, you have to find a way to lure it ashore." As long as it dares to come ashore, I have my own way to clean it up. ”

Wuqiu on the side pouted and said, "Master, you just fought with him, I'm afraid it's not so easy to be fooled." ”

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled: "Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

After speaking, he was silent, never mentioned this matter again, and it was useless to ask for nothing.

Just turned around and asked Hu Yan: "Hu Yan, how are you practicing the art of spitting?"

Hu Yan bowed and said: "After the master's guidance, I have already understood a little." With a little time, there will inevitably be improvement. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "This cultivation is not something that happens overnight. It is necessary to be calm, calm and persevering, in order to achieve the right path. ”

"The disciple knows. Hu Yan agreed in a deep voice.

"You have to meditate for the teacher, so stand down. The old Taoist priest explained, then sat down in the thatched pile and meditated.

What made the old Taoist priest a little helpless was that the fight just now, although it was injuryless and painless, it was really a lot of consumption. What made him most distressed was that after such a fight, he couldn't see the true face of the demon in the water.

Since this demon can drive away the ghosts, it must not be an ordinary ghost. Even if it's not a big demon king, it's a ghost king who can drive small ghosts. If it were an ordinary ghost king, it would be easy to deal with, but this guy has been hiding in the river to drive the little ghosts, which makes the old Taoist priest a little helpless. Therefore, we must find a way to lure this ghost king out of the water in order to subdue him.

The old Taoist priest had already thought about it and came up with a way to lure this ghost king out of the water. Just wait for tonight when the yin and yang alternate.
