Chapter Ninety-Six: The City God Asks the Land of Sins Casting Spells to Inquire about Wronged Souls
Liu Qingyun instructed Jingtian to carefully protect the Dharma for Jingxuan and Yiming, and he took his righteous heart and all the ghosts to lead the unjust souls to the Chenghuang Temple. How can you still have a righteous heart? This is the attention of the pure heavens, so that the righteous heart can open more eyes and gain a long insight. Where can I find such a good opportunity to go? That city god is second only to the ghosts and gods of the Ten Emperors and Hades Monarch, how can it be seen so easily. This time, the light entrusted to Liu Qingyun also gave them a long insight. As long as Jingxuan and Yiming wake up, they will also pass.
Liu Qingyun and the others arrived at the gate of the City God Temple, and this time they walked through the main gate. Liu Qingyun looked at it, this City God Temple was not too big, only a two-story courtyard. The main hall in front is the place where the city god is enshrined, and the back is where the Taoist priest on the temple lives. Originally, the door of the temple was closed, but now it is open. Liu Qingyun led the unjust souls into the gate with righteousness and all the ghosts. When he arrived inside, Yixin shrank his neck in fright, which is this temple? This is the Five Emperors Luo Palace! There are more than 200 unjust souls in the courtyard, and there are dozens of ghosts on both sides. On the main hall sat an old man in a red robe, not angry and arrogant. Oil lamps with green flames were set up around them, and the flames flickered on and off. On the edge of the oil lamp stood a strange-looking ghost. Carrying weapons in his hands and holding torture instruments.
Liu Qingyun glanced at Yixin beside him, stretched out his hand and slapped him: "What are you looking at? He took a deep breath and entered the main hall with Liu Qingyun. Chenghuang saw Liu Qingyun enter the main hall, and he got up and walked down. "Mr. Liu is back. Have you brought all those unjust souls? Liu Qingyun clenched his fists: "I was going to tell you about it, so I'll go back and check it out this time." There are four other souls drifting outside, and I don't know where they are? I would like to ask you to bring me the land. Ask him to help find it. Chenghuang stroked his beard and nodded: "That's it! I'll find the land of Hong's nest. ”
Chenghuang waved his hand as he spoke, and a ghost came by next to him. The demon had a copper basin in his hand, and there was half a basin of water in it. Chenghuang cleaned his hand in the copper basin and took a stick of incense from the other ghost. Chenghuang took the incense and waved his hand to incense. Chenghuang twisted the incense in his hand, and there were words in his mouth. When he had finished the incantation, he shook his hand, and the pillar of incense stood on the ground and began to turn. Seeing this pillar of incense go down, according to the current time, it will only take six or seven seconds for this pillar of incense to burn. The incense was burned, but the smoke it emitted did not disperse. The smoke sank down and sank into the ground. A cloud of green smoke appeared on the ground.
When the light smoke cleared, I saw a little old man appear in the place where the incense was burned just now. The little old man was less than five feet tall, dressed in a yellow cloth shirt, with silk tied around his waist and square head and cloud shoes on his feet. He wears a four-edged scarf and two streamers on his back. A smiling face, don't look old, but the face is as red as white. The eyebrows are thick, but none of them are black, and the tips of the eyebrows hang down to the bottom of the eyes. Meat bun eyes, one-headed garlic nose, one-word mouth, red lips. The white beard with a mane hangs down to the lower abdomen. He is holding a bamboo cane in his hand. When the old man came out, he looked around. Then he came to the front of the city god and hugged his fist at the city god: "The Hongjia Wopu land has seen the city god, I don't know what the city god is in a hurry to summon the little god?"
Look at the city god again, the face is sinking like water. He pointed to the land of Hongjiawo with his hand: "Ahhh Liu Qingyun said in his heart: My Chenghuang Lord, which one are you singing about? You don't look like you're asking someone for help? Don't we say that we want to ask our own land to help find the unjust soul? Why do you ask about the crime? What's going on?
Hong Jiawo didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that Chenghuang must have a basis, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so firmly. Hong Jiawo paved the land and quickly knelt down: "The little god doesn't know what crime he has committed? Chenghuang pointed to the unjust souls in the courtyard with his hand: "Look at it, what's in the courtyard?" Hong Jiawopu looked back: "This, Lord Chenghuang, where did you get such unjust souls?" Chenghuang smiled bitterly: "Where? This is what you found on the ground under your jurisdiction." You don't even know that there are so many unjust souls in the land under your jurisdiction? Tell me, are you guilty of dereliction of duty and negligence?"
When the old man heard this, he was stupid at that time. After a long while, he reacted: "Oh! Master Chenghuang clearly saw that the little god thought that he had always fulfilled his duties and had not neglected his duties. Coco, but where did these unjust souls come from? The little god really doesn't know wow? It seems that he really doesn't know. Chenghuang raised his hand: "Okay, you get up first, right?" The land slowly stood up with a bamboo cane and stood on the left side of Chenghuang: "Master Chenghuang, what the hell is going on with these unjust souls? How did they get to Hongjiawopu?"
Chenghuang walked up to Liu Qingyun: "It seems that this evil organization is not simple? It can even hide from its own land and make so many unjust souls? Liu Qingyun looked at Chenghuang and waited for his next step. Hong Jiawo also stretched his neck and listened. Chenghuang twisted his beard and then said: "Today, when the deity inspected the world, when I passed by the Hongjiawopu, I didn't see anything wrong? Suddenly, a resentment turned my sedan upside down. But this resentment disappeared in an instant, and the deity felt strange, there happened to be a temple of the deity here, so he stayed, and ordered his subordinates to go to Hongjiawopu to investigate. Only then did Liu Qingyun know why Chenghuang appeared here.
Liu Qingyun understood, but the land didn't understand? He still looked at Chenghuang with a puzzled expression. Chenghuang pointed at Liu Qingyun: "You can ask Mr. Liu about the specific situation, he knows much more than I do." When the land heard Chenghuang's name for Liu Qingyun, he was shocked, and he looked Liu Qingyun up and down. Then he bowed to Liu Qingyun: "The little god has seen Mr. Liu." Please also ask for your advice. Liu Qingyun also bowed and returned the salute: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Then he told the land what had happened at the old inn.
After listening to Liu Qingyun's story, Hong's face changed several times. I didn't expect such a big case to happen on my own turf. Listening to Liu Qingyun, there are still many unjust souls who have been scattered. If these unjust souls are combined, thousands of people can die in their own place. As his own land, he actually let people kill so many people with evil magic, and even after death, he did not let go of the souls of these people. No matter what I say, I can't get rid of my responsibility. The land sighed: "Alas, create evil, create evil!, what, what is the purpose of the city god's summoning of the little god this time?" said the land and pointed to the unjust spirits in the courtyard. That means, all these unjust souls have gathered here, what are you calling me here for? Just to admonish me, and then play heaven to listen?
Chenghuang smiled: "I called you this time because I asked you to do something." Although there were so many unjust souls gathered in the courtyard, there were still four unjust souls floating outside. You are your own land, and I have summoned you to ask you to find out the specific location of the four unjust souls. Then get them back. The land nodded: "Oh, I see. The little god has a responsibility, so I'll look for it. The old man of the land said, and took out a gossip mirror from his arms, which was made of bronze, which was smaller than the bronze mirror that the woman wore makeup. The old man of the land picked up a handful of soil from the ground and put it on the face of the gossip mirror. Then he held the bronze mirror in both hands and recited the incantation with his eyes closed. He read it three times in a row, and each time he read it, he breathed into the bronze mirror. After three breaths, he aimed the bronze mirror at the ground. That's when there was a change on the ground.
The earth on the ground flew up and slowly piled up. In just a minute or so, the change in the ground stopped. Liu Qingyun took a closer look, and the flying soil was piled up with three-dimensional images, and there were small houses, mountains and forests, and roads on it. Liu Qingyun circled around the three-dimensional image, and then he looked up and asked the land: "Land lord, this, are you going to start a war? How did you come up with this?" Liu Qingyun glanced at him: "Yixin, what are you laughing at? Do you know what this is for?"
Yixin pointed to the three-dimensional figure and smiled: "Liu Xian (Mr. Liu), is it not clear to set the boundary (is this not clear)? Do you see that the world does not hesitate to see the old eight-series guests (don't you see this an old-fashioned inn)?" Liu Qingyun looked at Yixin, and then looked at the place where Yixin was pointing. This time, Liu Qingyun saw that this was a three-dimensional image with Hongjiawopu as the center and a radius of more than 20 miles.
The land lord smiled and looked at Yixin: "This little friend, he is really smart and lovely!Haha, you are right, this is indeed to show the location of the four unjust souls, it was made." After the land lord finished speaking, he sacrificed the bronze mirror in his hand. The bronze mirror flew to the top of the three-dimensional map, and emitted a red light face down, and the red light shone on the map, and in the upper right corner of the three-dimensional map, four cyan points of light the size of cherries were displayed on the top of a small hill. The land lord pointed to the four cyan points of light, turned back to the city god and said, "Lord City God, the location of the four unjust souls is here. Chenghuang looked at it: "Well, okay." Then I will command my men to bring back these four unjust souls. ”
Liu Qingyun hurriedly came over: "Lord Chenghuang, I'll go with you, right? I am gracious to them, and they will not disobey what I say. Save time and effort. As soon as Chenghuang heard the reason, he nodded in agreement. Liu Qingyun and the three ghosts called by the city god went out of the city god temple together. Rushed straight to the northeast of Hongjiawopu, and came out for fifteen miles, and in front of them, a small hill appeared.
This mountain can be more than three miles long, and it is no more than forty feet high. Don't look at the small mountain, there are a lot of flowers and trees on this mountain, and there are a lot of small hairy roads on the mountain, which seem to be left by ordinary woodcutters. When Liu Qingyun arrived here, he was a little difficult again. The three-dimensional map of the land shows this hill. But this hill is overgrown with weeds and trees. The terrain is so complicated, how can you find it in a short time? As soon as the day dawns, the ghosts will be hidden even more secretly. During the day, the yang energy is heavy, and when the time comes, the yin energy on the body of the unjust soul will not be covered by yang energy, but there will be no way to find it. Liu Qingyun turned around and asked the three ghosts: "Chenghuang sent you to search for the four unjust souls, I don't know what method you have?" ”
