Chapter Ninety-Eight: Relying on the Temple, Qingyun Crosses the Soul
Chenghuang said that in order for the unjust soul to be reincarnated, the body of the unjust soul must be buried. Liu Qingyun was stupid when he heard this, what should he do? Their bodies had already been burned and the walls had already been burned. Liu Qingyun looked at Chenghuang and smacked his lips: "Tsk——, Chenghuang, this time it's too big." Their bodies have been burned to ashes. How can this be buried?" Cheng Huang took the gourd and thought for a moment, "Yes, what can I do about that? If we don't bury the bodies of the dead souls, they won't be reincarnated?"
The righteous heart next to him thought for a while: "Qinghuang Ye (Chenghuang Ye), the boundary is not right (this is not right)? I think that those silver (people) who are exposed to the corpse and the suburbs are not tender (can) be reincarnated? I heard that there are still silver (people) that fall from the sky (heavenly burial)? Haven't they been reincarnated either?" Liu Qingyun looked at Yixin, and what Yixin said was right. Some folk customs are different, and there are these customs and habits. Didn't those people reincarnate?" Chenghuang patted the gourd in his hand: "What this little friend said is true, but those people have special beliefs. There will be gods they believe in who will give them special discs to be reincarnated. As for those who died madly in the wilderness, they also have clothes and mounds to rely on, but how can these unjust souls get it?"
At this time, the land of Hong's nest came to the ground. He also heard the words of the city god. The land came closer: "Lord Chenghuang, the little god has a way." Chenghuang and Liu Qingyun both looked at the land when they heard this: "What can you do?" The land took two steps forward: "Lord Chenghuang, what do you think of this? These unjust souls are just looking for a support, and after their grievances are tempered, they will be arranged in the temple to listen to errands, I think it won't be long before they will absorb enough incense power." As long as the power of the incense is enough, then they can also be reincarnated. ”
Chenghuang looked at the land: "You mean to use the power of incense as a support, and then send them to reincarnate." But they are not gods, and they are not canonized. Where can they be enshrined in the temple?" The land waved his hand: "Lord Chenghuang, you are wrong. I don't mean to make them gods or make them golden. I mean, I told them to act as ghosts in the temple. Running errands and delivering letters to the underworld or something. This will not only save manpower, but also allow them to receive appropriate incense and go to reincarnation in the future. ”
Liu Qingyun listened to it and nodded. He clenched his fist at Chenghuang: "This idea of the land is brilliant. I think I can give it a try. Chenghuang also nodded: "Well——, this idea, it's okay." But if it was known from above, would you blame it!" Liu Qingyun smiled: "Lord Chenghuang, you are a little too worried." In my opinion, this is not only without fault, but also meritorious?" Chenghuang was stunned for a moment: "Innocent?
Liu Qingyun began to explain to Chenghuang: "Do you want to! In this way, it can not only reduce the expenses of the prefecture, but also save manpower. You can also let these unjust souls be reincarnated. What kind of sin can this be? I think this has to be reported, and if there is such a thing in the future, it will have to be solved like this? How much merit can these unjust souls be reincarnated?" Chenghuang nodded: "Well——, it makes sense and makes sense. After this is the case, I will go to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, right, that's it?"
After they decided, Chenghuang slapped the bottom of the gourd. The mouth of the gourd in his hand opened by itself, and a puff of green smoke came out of the gourd. The green smoke spread bigger and bigger in the air, but when it reached the ground, the green smoke turned into hundreds of unjust souls. Liu Qingyun called them all to the courtyard, and then Liu Qingyun pushed Chenghuang to the front: "Lord Chenghuang, before I overtake them, can you talk to them first?" Chenghuang looked at Liu Qingyun with a puzzled expression: "Tell me, what to say, what is there to say?"
Liu Qingyun sighed: "What else can you say about this? You can't let them go to reincarnation right away? But now let them do some ghost errands for a few days and absorb the power of incense. How can you do it if you don't tell them about this?" Chenghuang patted his head: "Oh! Yes, how did you forget about this?" Brother Liu, you are standing in front, can you tell them?" Liu Qingyun was discouraged when he heard this, and he promised at that time that he would send all the unjust souls to reincarnate after surpassing these unjust souls. But now that something has changed, Liu Qingyun is a little embarrassed to say it to the unjust souls. I was going to ask Chenghuang to speak, but I didn't expect Chenghuang to be cunning and kick the ball back to him.
Liu Qingyun secretly scolded Chenghuang in his heart for being cunning and cunning, so he had no choice but to take two steps forward: "Well——, everyone listen." Now I have one thing to tell everyone, be quiet. Your flesh has been burned to the ground. Originally, your bodies should be buried in the burial, and then your resentment can be reincarnated. But because of your corpses, they all pasted the wall together. So now there's a little bit of a change. As soon as Liu Qingyun finished speaking, more than hundreds of unjust souls opposite him opened the pot, and some of them asked: "Mr. Liu, is it possible that our bodies cannot be buried, so we cannot be reincarnated? I don't know who said this? As soon as he said this, the unjust souls below became even more chaotic.
Liu Qingyun waved his hand: "Don't think nonsense, everyone, be quiet." Listen to me. Now that I've said this, we've got a solution. In the same way, I can teach you to be reincarnated. Just now I have discussed with Lord Chenghuang, after I have gone beyond it for you, you who have no clothes and no special faith. There is a city god who assigns you to various temples to be on errands, and while you are on errands, you go to absorb the power of incense that belongs to you. When you have accumulated enough incense power, then you can also be reincarnated. After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, all the wronged souls breathed a sigh of relief. They expressed their willingness to accept the arrangement of Chenghuang and Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun turned around and smiled at Chenghuang: "Okay, everything is in place now." But there's still a little thing you want to do?" When Chenghuang heard this, Liu Qingyun still refused to let himself go! He smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I see, what are you talking about?" and you don't want to make me easy. What else can you say?" Liu Qingyun pointed to the back: "We are not the only ones in this temple, there are a few Taoist priests behind us?" Don't come out at that time, if any of them are going to get up at night or something? Interrupt us. Chenghuang nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot about it." If you are still careful, I will ask someone to do it. As he spoke, he called the judge on the side. Let the judge do it. The judge took the order and went to the backyard and returned a short time later. He nodded at Chenghuang and Liu Qingyun: "Chenghuang Ye, Mr. Liu." I've got it done. ”
Liu Qingyun saw that everything was done, and he came out of the hall with a futon. took the incense burner on the offering table to the courtyard, Liu Qingyun asked Yixin to go to the well to fetch a few buckets of water, and Liu Qingyun went into the bathroom to clean himself first. When he came out, he sat cross-legged on the futon and lit three sticks of incense and inserted them in the incense burner. He took out the string of pearls from last time. Command the souls to sit around him. When the souls were all seated, Liu Qingyun began.
Liu Qingyun first recited a purifying mantra, and then recited a purifying mantra. Afterwards, he recited the meditation relic mantra again. Only then did he begin to chant the true Mahayana Dharma scriptures. It begins with the Sutra of Death, followed by the Sutra of Myoho-renge-kyo, followed by the Sutra of Pure Names, the Sutra of the Bodhisattva Precepts, the Sutra of Vajra Prajna, the Sutra of the Great Peacock, the Sutra of the Mahayana Enlightenment, and finally the Sutra of Nirvana. Liu Qingyun really worked hard this time. He recited more than a dozen Mahayana scriptures in one breath. Of course, he didn't recite the entire scripture of these scriptures, but he picked a dozen or dozens of them.
A mantra was read out of Liu Qingyun's mouth. The imprints that turned into golden swastika flew into the air, and the swastika converged in the air to form a larger swastika. This huge swastika rotated in the air, releasing strips of Ruicai and sprinkling white lotus flowers. The lotus flower sank from the top of the head of the unjust soul, and the resentment on the unjust soul seeped out from the cloud soul's body, and the resentment was purified by Ruicai, releasing pieces of dense gas. As Liu Qingyun continued to chant the scriptures, the sound of chanting scriptures began to come from the 10,000 characters in the air. Liu Qingyun's body began to emit a faint golden light, and a layer of cloud qi appeared under his sitting, and his body slowly floated up.
By the time Liu Qingyun read the last "Nirvana Sutra", the grievances of all the unjust souls had been basically purified. Underneath each unjust soul, a white lotus appeared. The white lotus slowly turned, wrapping these unjust souls. When the white lotus opened again, a relaxed look appeared on the faces of the unjust souls. After the last verse of the Nirvana Sutra was recited, the surrounding white misty qi had turned into a colorful color. The white lotus that the unjust soul sat down turned into a white fluorescent swash that flew into the air. Even the surrounding misty gas turned into a colorful rainbow and submerged into 10,000 characters. At this time, Liu Qingyun slowly fell. And the golden swasten characters in the air flew towards the top of Liu Qingyun's head, slowly submerging from the Mud Pill Palace. The 10,000 words did not enter the Mud Pill Palace, and a colorful haze flashed above Liu Qingyun's head. Only then did Liu Qingyun open his eyes.
After Liu Qingyun opened his eyes, he felt as if he had something more on his body than before? What is it? He opened his eyes and looked at the unjust souls around him, and all the unjust souls were now sitting in place with their eyes closed, and their faces were peaceful. Liu Qingyun stood up and wanted to say to Chenghuang that it was done. But he saw Chenghuang's eyes, which were bigger than a bean bag, staring at him. Not only Chenghuang, but also the land on one side, as well as Jingtian, they all stared at themselves in a daze. Liu Qingyun was put in the hands and feet of the people they looked at, he didn't know why? He still thought? What's wrong with these guys? I have something on my face? No! Before I chanted, I just took a bath! Wow!
Liu Qingyun coughed: "Ahem——, Lord City Emperor." I'm done, I'll leave the rest to you? After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, no one paid attention to him. Liu Qingyun coughed a few more times: "Ahem." Ahem, ahem——, ahem. I said, are you squeaking? What's the matter? What are you staring at me all the time? Is there anything wrong with me?" Liu Qingyun said and turned around and looked at his body. I have to talk about Chenghuang, he was the first to react. Chenghuang took two steps to Liu Qingyun's approach, grabbed Liu Qingyun's arm, the expression on his face was very stiff, and looked Liu Qingyun up and down. Liu Qingyun was a little overwhelmed by him, he shook his arm and broke free from Chenghuang's hand: "This, what's wrong with you?
Chenghuang took a few steps back and shook his head: "I really have nowhere to reason? Liu Qingyun was even more incomprehensible by Chenghuang's two sentences. Liu Qingyun smiled bitterly: "Chenghuang, can you make it clear what you are talking about?" What are you talking about? What are you ignoring?" Chenghuang sighed: "Alas, Brother Liu, haven't you noticed something more on you?" Chenghuang has even changed his name now, and he is no longer Mr. Liu. This time it's time for Brother Liu.
Liu Qingyun nodded: "Do you feel like there's something more on your body? I don't know what it is?" Chenghuang smiled and stroked his beard: "Brother Liu, congratulations to you? You have done my work for hundreds of years in this moment!" Liu Qingyun frowned slightly: "I still don't understand what you said, you said congratulations to me, where did my joy come from? Is it related to the extra things on my body?"
