It was late when I arrived at the West Mountain, but the Ten Thousand Ghost Caves were brightly lit, which was very different from the situation that Ming Qin had seen. People and ghosts have different paths, according to legend, ghosts and gods enjoy the same incense, and the underworld utensils used are also the descendants of the mortal world, the material is special, mostly made of paper, and the mortal objects are different, but the shape is the same.

Ordinary people have limited knowledge, and there are not many people who can see ghosts, and there are many monsters and sweat cows, and the description of the netherworld is also different.

When Fang Elu ruled the Western Ghost Clan, she seemed to have nothing to do with the Western Sect, she was one of the top ten ghost mothers, and she belonged to another powerful force in the Netherworld. Everyone in the world knows that the Yin Cao Underworld is under the Nine Springs, the Pangu God King opens the heavens and the earth, the light and clear qi rises, and the heavy turbid qi condenses, and the cold heaven and the turbid and heavy netherworld are originally not suitable for living.

The Protoss is the only one, supreme, extravagant and hedonistic, not enterprising, and the scope of activities is quite limited. The Western religion entered the heavenly realm and educated the barbarians, and the Shura, the Yaksha, the Earthly Dragon, and the Goldenfinch Bird were converted one after another, known as the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. In later generations, the three religions unified the three realms, and the power of the Western religion took root in the netherworld, and even Confucianism and Taoism could hardly shake their status, but the heavenly realm and the netherworld were far away, and the entry of the king of the earth into the netherworld was a last resort for the Western religion after the decline of the heavenly realm.

The Protoss suffered a great defeat and fled into two groups, one moved overseas, creating the wind of the Immortal Dao of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, and the other wandered to the Heavenly Realm and rebuilt the Divine Court with the support of the Celestial Clan and the Yu Clan. After the defeat of the Dragons and the fragmentation of the empire, the Protoss gradually gained a foothold in the Heavenly Realm, and the relationship with the Western Religion broke down. During the Great War of the Gods, although the Western Sect still existed in strength, it was called the Three Sects on the same level as the Interpretation and Interception Sects, and it also took the opportunity of the two Sects to provoke many cultivators, but since then it has been in the West, and it is difficult to shake the status of the Protoss. The Buddha of the West Heaven, Guanyin of the South China Sea and the Holy Emperor of Chong'en, the Great Immortal of the Yellow Horn, and the Xuanling of the North Pole are all listed as the five elders of the five directions, and the five elders of the five directions are all outsiders, and the Holy Emperor of Chong'en is Guan Sheng, and the Yellow Horn Great Immortal is the god of Jiang Taigong, who is highly respected among the people, but there is no actual immortal position in the heavenly court.

"Journey to the West" admires Buddhism, and has a lot of derogatory words about Taoism, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the sky, and asked the Buddha to make a move, so he was captured, and the Buddhist supernatural power was hidden above the gods and goddesses. The Jade Emperor met the son of Meng, the father and son flattered the Queen Mother of the West, and the Jade Emperor forced his sister-in-law Xiao Jinwu to take the throne, imprisoned his sister, and chased and killed two nephews Yang Zhu and Yang Jian. The four heavenly masters are the disciples of Taishang Laojun, and Li Jing is a very ruthless and righteous person, who was afraid of the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and endured seeing Nezha cutting flesh and removing bones, without any human anger, and the war of the gods was in the rear, without proportion, fortunately, the three sons were all the choice of the moment, and the father was expensive by virtue of the son. The father and son should be deterred by magic weapons, and under the millennium, the mustard is still there, which shows that Li Jing's character is not enough. But it is precisely this kind of person that the Jade Emperor can appoint with confidence, and the two of them belong to the same hill. Yang Jian's wisdom and courage are both complete and powerful, just because he is the grandson of the former dynasty, although he has an uncle and nephew, he is still jealous of the Jade Emperor, the so-called 'listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement', it seems that Yang Jian hates the hatred of the prisoner's mother, and still has residual hatred, but in fact, he is not summoned and cannot go to heaven without authorization.

Erlang God's supernatural cultivation is better than Sun Wukong, not to win with magic weapons, and Heavenly Court is not an incompetent general, so there is no need to ask for help in the West. The world is familiar with Sun Wukong's troubles in the sky, helping Tang monks to learn scriptures from the west, but they are always subject to demons and monsters, and they move everywhere to ask for help.

Although it is said that 'one thing descends one thing', Sun Wukong's combat power is not inferior to others, but he is just clumsy in dealing with the endless magic weapons. But it can also be seen that Sun Wukong's cultivation has not yet reached the realm of transcendent sainthood. Sun Wukong's master Bodhi Patriarch Scales and Claws are occasionally seen, which also makes people guess his identity. In fact, Sun Wukong's cultivation is slightly inferior to Erlang God, who is a real disciple of the Twelve Golden Immortals and Jade Ding. Among the ten disciples of the Buddha, Subodhi is known as the first to solve emptiness, especially for the teaching of the "Diamond Sutra". Bodhi Patriarch is also known as Su Bodhi, so why bother to guess. Because the world loves Sun Wukong, and there is a record of making trouble in the heavenly palace, there is a way that 'famous teachers produce high apprentices', so it is speculated that the Bodhi patriarch must be a person who is Zhun Ti and leads the two masters.

Rulai Buddha is a disciple of the Burning Lamp Taoist, the Burning Lamp Taoist is the deputy sect leader of the Burning Sect, and the status of Yuan Shi Tianzun is equal, the twelve golden immortals Chinese Shu, Puxian, and Cihang all entered the Buddha from the Tao, and they are Rulai disciples, and Sun Wukong is both a disciple of Rulai and a disciple of the third generation of the most outstanding disciple of the third generation of the Interpretation Sect, Erlang Shenzhan is on a par with each other, which is originally reasonable.

Among the cultivators, there are many hidden streams, who are indifferent to fame and fortune, such as Bodhi Patriarch and Lu Zhuan Dao. Some people speculate that Lu Zhudao is old and Hongjun Ancestor, which is also nonsense. The cultivation of Lu Zhudao people is not inferior to the Twelve Golden Immortals, but it is not to the point of the Three Qings and the Second Sect Master of the West. In fact, Lu Zhudao is the son of Emperor Jun and Huang'e, and the disciple of Lu Wushen, the head of Tiandu. He has a special identity, and he has a last resort for self-indulgence.

Qi is turbid, and it is also relative. There are various differences in the environment of the heavens, and it is also the relationship between the turbidity of the vitality. People die as ghosts, and since there are ghost clans in the heavenly realm, of course, there are gods and Buddhas who govern ghosts.

"In front of you is Xishan Castle. ”

I saw an archway with the word West Mountain written on it. When you enter the city, you can see the high-rise building sandwich road, the road is empty, and the pedestrians in the city come and go, and there is an endless stream.

"It seems that this netherworld life is not bad. ”

Lin Aya's cultivation is mediocre, he has never been in contact with any ghosts, and he sees the pavilions in the city with clouds and brilliant lights, and it seems that he is more prosperous than the Heavenly Clan and the Nose Country.

Suddenly, there was a roar of drums in the distance, Ming Qin and Lin Aya glanced at each other, and their hearts were connected, "Go and see what is lively." ”

After walking two or three hundred steps, the road was crowded with people, gathering more and more, and a high platform appeared in front of it, which was lit up with red lights, dancing and music, as if some grand celebration was being staged.

At a glance, the spectators are like clouds, crowds of people, all holding a foot-long short stick in their hands, colorful and shining.

"What kind of place is this, it's so lively. ”

When he got closer, a checkpoint blocked the way, and there was an old man in red standing outside the door, over half a hundred years old, and people outside were talking about him, and they all said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The old man in red shook his head, with an expression of helplessness, "There are rules in the academy that after the celebration begins, no outsiders are allowed. ”

Ming and Lin knew that it was a school, and the walls on all sides were iron fences, which were not very high, and the stage was much higher than the ground, and they could see clearly from a hundred steps away, so they didn't necessarily have to go in. But the ghost man's vision is limited, and they all want to get closer to see it clearly.

Lin Aya exclaimed: "After all, this ghost world is different, and we don't have such pomp and circumstance in our Academy of Learning. ”

Although Jiangshanmen is newly created, the school palace Taoist academy under the rule has sprung up, the tent is rising, the heavenly Taoist is known as Changming, the four major avenue gates, the eight auxiliary wings have many Taoist masters to learn the palace Taoist academy to teach, Jiangshan Gate vigorously rewarded, this is one of the miraculous achievements.

This school is just a Mengxue school in Xishan City, the scale is not large, the students are only six or seven hundred, Ming and Lin are watching the stage, most of the performers are children in their seventies and eighties, and it is indeed commendable to create such a scene.

Ming Qin looked at the lacquer words on the wall, and knew that this place was called Juying School.

Lin Aya pulled Ming Qin and pointed to the iron fence on the side, the iron fence around this school is only more than one person high, and there are many passers-by standing outside the iron fence to watch, with Ming Qin and Lin Aya's cultivation, it is easy to turn in.

"Let's go in and have a look. ”

Lin Aya was happy when she saw Hunting, and she had forgotten that she was here to deal with Yin Shentong. She had just practiced the Yunsuo Jade Step, and her body was very fast, and the pedestrians were weaving in the twilight, and no one noticed it.

The two of them jumped over the iron fence and saw that there were many chairs under the stage, but they were already full, and more people were standing on both sides of the seats.

The style of the high platform is slightly strange, there is a long bridge in the middle, and sometimes the actors will walk back and forth on the long bridge, which has a kind of shadow hanging.

Lin Aya suddenly said: "This must be the famous Nai He Bridge in the ghost world." ”

The actors are dressed in colorful costumes, looking glamorous, with endless lights shining on their bodies, and the crowds under the stage are crowded, and the spectators are shaking glowing short sticks, like phosphorus fires, which makes people feel creepy.

At this time, the ceremonial officer walked to the front of the stage and said an opening remark, and the two of them listened to her introduction before it became obvious, it turned out that this Juying School also has many semicolons, and the founder is a Taoist master who is close to ancient times, and Juying is her name. Then Hao Juying came to the stage to meet with the parents, and the audience applauded thunderously, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

This Hao Juying doesn't talk much, and his words are very simple, but he is full of enthusiasm, and he can create such a situation and become the founder of more than ten schools, which must be a little outstanding.

Ming Qin glanced at Lin Aya, the practice of the Heavenly Clan is quite popular, and it has broken the tradition that women are not allowed to go to school, and many female bachelors in the Heavenly Clan are created by new learning. It is naturally not a problem to go to school on Lin Aya's conditions, but she has a rough temperament, and I am afraid that she does not have much knowledge.

The next person to come to the stage is the sacrificial wine of Xishan School, this person is also a female streamer, and it is Hao Juying's tall feet, over forty years old, his appearance is not good, holding a red leather jacket in his hand, speaking impassionedly, urging people to □.

The schools of the Celestial Clan are divided into official and private schools, both of which have a long history. The official school was established and managed by the imperial court, and the scholars all had official positions in the imperial court and enjoyed the imperial court. Various funds were also allocated by the imperial court. Private schools are established by private individuals, and attracting students has become the top priority, and if the source of students is stable, the school can flourish, and on the contrary, there is a danger that the school will close down.

This kind of grand ceremony is naturally rare in official schools, but it is a means to make a name for itself in private schools. Juying School Palace is so painstaking and extravagant, it is nothing more than to make the parents of the ghost clan look forward to the wind and send their children here to study.

The students' performances were lackluster, and nearly half of the more than 30 programs were on the long bridge, and in the roaring music and the illumination of the lights, the faces were dignified, indifferent, or apprehensive, and there was not much joy to be seen.

It is said that education is one of the three things that the ghost clan has to do. The other two are health care and housing. Supposedly, the ghost clan doesn't seem to care about these three things. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

Man dies as a ghost, and when a ghost dies, he is extinguished between heaven and earth. It means eternal extinction, and it is natural for ghosts to care more about medical conditions. After the death of a person, the original family business can not be enjoyed, in order not to become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, the only way to buy the Yin House, so the Yin House in the ghost world is extremely expensive, every inch of land is expensive.

Education is the only way to change circumstances. It is more difficult for ghosts to give birth than mortals, and they are not as free as mortals, so they need to report to the Yin Division for approval, so they pay more attention to the education of their children.

The priestess did not hesitate to spend money to hold such a grand ceremony, but it was just to her liking.

Lin Aya looked at it for a while, and her enthusiasm suddenly decreased, these students are not very old, so naturally they can't talk about any artistic attainments, but fortunately, the visitors are much more tolerant of students, and no one will evaluate their artistic standards, of course, the visitors themselves can't talk about any artistic accomplishment, it's just a lively look.

The stage lies in the size, the people are dressed in clothes and horses are saddled, if it is just a grass platform team, pedestrians and spectators will not care about it, such a beautifully decorated stage is indeed enough to make up for the clumsiness of the performance.

Lin Aya pouted and said, "What's so nice to walk around like this, a fool can come here." ”

Ming Qin smiled: "Walking the bridge is a very elegant thing in the ghost clan. Didn't you see that everyone was so excited to watch it?"

I don't know who invented the sedan chair, and it is similar to Yunsuo Yubu. Posture and gait are very common, this is really not bad, the practice of the human form is the first realm, and the sedan chair is also a useful way to shape the manners, but it is more simple.

Students seem to be the protagonists of the stage, but in fact they become the tools of the school to please parents. So no one cares how they feel. At their age, they will work hard to please others for a simple compliment, and be smart and clever children in the eyes of teachers and parents.

The programs on the stage rotate like a marquee, and most of them are dressed brightly, although they try their best to lift their spirits, and their voices are agitated, what 'I am a ghost, I am proud, I am proud', this is really a terrible education, and the terrible thing is that the teacher does not know how to educate at all.

Ercheng once asked Zhou Dunyi, and Zhou Dunyi said, looking for holes and Yan Le. Confucius said, "Rice is sparse and water is sparse, and the pillow is bent and pillowed, and happiness is also in it." "Yan Hui" has a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, but they can not change their happiness. ”

This is not to make people passive and avoidance. Rather, it means that if a person is truly knowledgeable, he will not always be troubled by external objects. Mencius said, "All things are prepared for me." Reflexive and sincere, happy and happy. ”

"It's fun to learn and learn. "Learning should be a happy thing, and the reason why learning makes people feel bitter is because it is mixed with too many utilitarian purposes, and learning has become a means of profit. No matter how beautiful the stage is, mixed with utilitarianism, it is tasteless.
