Chapter 8 Montenegro
Zhongyuan Festival, derived from Taoism, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, Buddhism calls it the Yu Lan Festival, every year on July 15, the ghost door is opened, and a large number of ghosts will pour out of the underworld.
People usually worship the ancestors who visit their relatives on this day, and they will also burn some paper money at the door to bribe the lonely ghosts of the past, and then ask the family to turn off the lights and rest early. Children have immaculate hearts and can see ghosts, and they will be warned by the elders of the family not to make noise and urge early rest, so on this night, there are few people's voices, and children are not allowed to make noise. The wandering ghosts have benefited, and naturally they will no longer be harassed for no reason, and they will live in peace.
At night, Lanruo Temple does not see the shadows of the past, and it is silent that even the chirping of the grasshoppers and insects in the past is silent.
The red curtain swayed in the wind, Nie Xiaoqian was wearing a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown, the color was three points brighter than usual, sitting quietly on the side, the corner of her eyes lingered in the place that Niu Man couldn't notice, with a little nostalgia, a little obsession, a little pain, a breath belonging to the realm of refining the gods and returning to the void emanated, Qing'er accompanied her, and the breath of refining the qi and transforming the gods on her body was also deep and calm.
Three days ago, Niu Man called them aside, had a long talk, raised their faces, and wasted a jade yuan pill to help them absorb and refine and improve their strength.
Niu Man and Yan Chixia's faces were solemn, tonight was the day when the old demon of Montenegro married Nie Xiaoqian, although he had made great preparations, but in the face of the old demon of Montenegro at the peak realm of the earth immortals, even if Niu Man had confidence in the formation he had comprehended from the "Ancient Barbarian Niu Jue", his heart would be up and down when this moment came.
The willow tops on the moon, hanging high in the clouds, the sound of dripping and dada sounded from far and near, and the shadow of the white-clothed figure gradually became clear, this is the marriage custom of the underworld, the woman is red and the man is white, showing the underworld marriage, and the pedestrian avoids.
There are more and more white-clothed figures, hundreds and thousands, these are the ghosts who poured into the world to welcome relatives after the ghost door was opened, and a black-clothed figure appeared in sight, sitting on the eight-lift sedan chair, surrounded by all the ghosts, the momentum was extraordinary, and the powerful aura spread.
Niu Man's expression perked up, knowing that it was the old demon of Black Mountain, and his cultivation was as expected, reaching the peak of the earth immortal, and nodded quietly to Yan Chixia, who was hiding in the dark. Niu Man stepped forward, arched his hand to the old demon of Montenegro, and flattered him to say the excuse that had been prepared a long time ago, Grandma Shu was surrendered by a passing monk, and he took the opportunity to occupy the ownerless Lanruo Temple, and after learning about the marriage contract between Nie Xiaoqian and the old man of Montenegro, he did not dare to slack off, and he made preparations early, and boasted of his loyalty.
"It's not early, it's a long way to go to the underworld, or quickly invite the bride to come out, go on the road as soon as possible, if you delay the good time, this seat will not spare you. ”
The old demon of Montenegro nodded, urging Niu Man to invite the bride to get into the sedan chair.
In this world, there are countless strange people, and there are many self-proclaimed righteous people who subdue demons everywhere, and things like Grandma Tree are not uncommon, so the old demon quickly believed Niu Man's words.
Besides, there is no shortage of Black Mountain's subordinates in this kind of role, but it is a dispensable existence, who is in charge of Lanruo Temple makes no difference to him, and now he is thinking about Nie Xiaoqian, who has a beautiful appearance, and wants to marry back quickly, for fear that Nie Xiaoqian's secrets will be leaked, and he will have many dreams at night.
"Yes!" Niu Man bowed and saluted, sincerely frightened, and respectfully retreated, calling out to the female ghost in the temple to hurry up.
After a while, Nie Xiaoqian came out with the support of the ghosts, with a graceful posture, bowing to Niu Manyingying, without saying a word with tears, a pair of autumn eyes full of farewell, and then turned around and got on the sedan chair accompanied by Qing'er and sat on the empty seat next to the old demon of Montenegro, which was specially reserved for the bride.
"Xiao Qian has seen the Black Mountain Master. Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at the old demon of Montenegro pitifully, and begged: "Xiao Qian can be fortunate to be favored by the old demon of Montenegro, and it is Xiao Qian's blessing to be married to the underworld by the lord himself today, but I don't know when I can return after this time, Xiao Qian's body was buried on the barren mountain behind Lanruo Temple after her death, and I hope that the old man of Montenegro can grant Xiao Qian's request, and take a detour to the back mountain to have a look, and Xiao Qian's wish is fulfilled." ”
The old demon of Montenegro frowned, and glanced at Nie Xiaoqian with a little meaning, obviously a little dissatisfied with Xiaoqian's extraneous branches.
"Master, Xiao Qian only has this wish, I hope that the master can be gracious, and it is good that Xiao Qian can be carefree after she arrives in the underworld, and she will follow the master with all her heart. ”
Nie Xiaoqian caught a glimpse of the dissatisfaction of the old demon of Montenegro, increased her firepower, and said again, her expression was sincere and full of sincerity.
"Accurate!"
The old demon was a little moved, attracted by Nie Xiaoqian's words, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed with his head and ordered to take a detour to the back mountain and enter the ghost world from there.
Tick-to-tick!
Blowing and blowing hit a group of demons and ghosts set off, and marched towards the back mountain in a mighty manner, Niu Man hung not far away and followed the large army, with a flattering expression, and the old demon of Montenegro just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
......
The back mountain, desolate and decayed, the tombstones are numerous, overgrown with weeds, here was once a mass grave, inaccessible, and then a group of ghosts were enslaved by the tree demon, dead to death, far away, long ghost to the tomb empty.
Now it is stepped on by the ghosts, and the suona is shaking the sky, and it is very lively.
Niu Man's steps gradually slowed down, hanging at the back of the line, except for Nie Xiaoqian and Qing'er, who had been greeted in advance, he did not attract the attention of any ghosts, naturally.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, the stone shattered, and the sound of the suona of joy came to an abrupt end, a group of ghosts were panicked, and the surrounding area was full of divine light, and this area was led by Niu Man to lay down a formation for the ghosts of Lanruo Temple, and they entered this area smoothly as expected.
The Wild Bull Splitting Heaven Array, this formation that Niu Man comprehended from the inheritance of the "Ancient Barbarian Bull Jue", once unfolded, revealed its sharp minions and burst out with great power.
A huge green cow phantom appeared, the cow moo was deafening, and between the four hooves, it was like a mountain moving and rampage, and the momentum sank. With a deliberate calculation or no intention, one party was fully prepared, and the other party was caught off guard, and the ghost tribes brought by the old demon of Montenegro were deeply trapped in the battle, and they were seriously damaged for a while, and they wailed all over the field.
"Hmph! carving insect skills, thinking that this can deal with me!" The old demon of Montenegro had an ugly face, he didn't expect that someone would have a special layout to deal with him, how many years had no creature dared to be so bold, his palm was slightly bent, his arm waved, and the mana surge broke up a thick bull leg that jumped over, and with a wave of his hand, a cloud and rain were summoned, and the phantom of the green ox dissolved in the rain. The old demon of Montenegro stared at Yan Chixia who appeared outside the formation with disdain, feeling that the Taoist priest was killing himself.
Niu Man could see clearly that the rain that was attracted by the old demon of Montenegro was extraordinary, and it was implicated in the Lechuan River in the underworld, and there was a remnant soul image that had been up and down for thousands of years, and it was able to disintegrate the power of the formation.
"Moo!"
The bull roared and shook the sky, the formation changed again, and the phantom of the green cow that had originally disintegrated appeared again, the cow's body was even taller, and the number was divided into three, and the whole body was bathed in flames and raging.
