Chapter Eighty-Five: The Rites
Along the way, Equestria saw a lot of ghosts wandering, and this time the ghosts were not very different from the ones they had seen before, not showing a muddy nightmare, but similar to the ghosts that had just died, and they were sane. When a dozen or so people arrived at the place where the bodies were buried, there were more dead souls here, groups of people.
When he arrived here, Ma Guo suddenly felt that the air was even colder, and there was a very heavy, very uncomfortable feeling, which was exactly the same as the evil aura he had scanned on the bricks when he was Wang Qian's assistant, but it was even stronger than at the beginning. Even, it made his skin feel like he was being pricked by pine leaves. He had to use his true qi to resist the evil qi that came from these erosions.
Du Feng held a flashlight in one hand and touched his arm with the other, and said, "It's really a little cold here!"
"yes, yes. Several senior brothers around him also echoed.
Ma Guocai thought to himself, it seems that their senses are not as sensitive as his.
One of the leading uncles explained to them: "This is because the evil qi and yin qi here are too heavy, everyone remember to practice the masculine boxing technique a few times after you go back, and get rid of the yin and cold qi on your body, otherwise you will get sick after a long time!"
Several people immediately nodded yes.
In Ma Guocai's eyes, these ghosts all maintain their temporary appearance, some have flat heads, some lack arms and legs, all kinds of deaths, very miserable, so many ghosts, if ordinary people see them, I really don't know what they will be scared of.
The revenants all looked at their group, talking about it, and listened quietly.
A ghost said, "You said that these Taoist priests are not here to clean us up, right?" ”
Another ghost said with disdain: "You have watched too many ghost movies, how can the current Taoist priest have that ability." ”
"Look at that. Isn't it the Xinyun Dao Leader of the Qingcheng Sect?" another ghost said.
Some ghosts said unwillingly: "Why didn't they die?" And we're dead!"
Some of the ghosts shouted, "I'm going to pull them down with me!"
"I'm going to scare them to death. ”
There were even ghosts running over to talk to them. But their group of people are all warriors, and their yang energy is vigorous, and as soon as a ghost approaches, they are bounced away.
And some of the ghosts were screaming in pain, shouting, "I died so miserably! It hurts! I want my mother! I want to go home...... Woowoo woo ......."
Everywhere the ghosts cried wolves, and the wind gusted, as if they had entered a ghost.
Ma Guocai frowned. It's really like watching a horror movie, even if he's not afraid, but he feels very uncomfortable in his heart. He really wanted to release the masculine in the Yang God and drive them all away, but they were all a group of poor people, and he couldn't bear to do so. Hey, it's better to pretend you can't see anything.
Everyone found a vacant place, put incense and candles, and the other two unfamiliar senior brothers. took out the paper money and distributed it to him and Du Feng. Xinyun Daoist said to him twice: "Later, the two of you will be responsible for burning paper money." ”
Only then did Ma Guocai understand that it took a long time. The task of his two is not to chant scriptures, but to burn paper money.
The other three uncles who didn't know each other began to take out a robe from their baggage and put it on their bodies. One of the leading uncles, with a staff in his hand, began to close his eyes and recuperate. And the chief of Xinyun also stood up and gave them a hand.
Several of their disciples began to draw strange patterns out of rice on the flat ground. Also on some points, light a white candle and finally form a circle.
Ma Guocai and Du Feng squatted in a corner, slowly burning paper money, slowly, they could be regarded as understanding. Their master should be in the door and be in charge of martial arts, and those uncles wearing robes should be in charge of blessings, transcendence and other things. In other words, they belong to the martial cultivation school, while they belong to the meditation school or the Wenxiu school.
It didn't take long for Ma Guo to sense and find that the leading high-level mage was undergoing some wonderful changes on his body, mainly his breath, as if he had become another person, and there seemed to be a vague fluctuation in the sky, gathering towards him, very weak, Ma Guocai felt a great compassion as soon as he touched it with his divine thoughts.
At this time, I saw that the mage began to chant: "Yang Qi is titled Wuji, benevolence assists the spirit god, majesty appears in the sea, virtue is widely applied to the world, there is no stagnation in protecting the country and saving the people, helping the dangerous and saving the danger in a moment, or traveling in the heavens or the world, or all over the waves and the earth......"
The two uncles behind him, as well as their apprentices, also followed the recitation.
Ma Guocai asked Du Feng beside him in a low voice: "Senior brother, what are they doing here?"
Du Feng lowered his head and burned the paper money, and said softly: "I heard the master say that this is breaking hell, so that the deceased no longer feel pain because of death, and break the obstacles in his heart." ”
Ma Guocai asked curiously, "How do you do it?"
Du Feng glanced at the leading mage and said, "I don't know the specifics, it seems that the high-level master needs to visualize the Great Compassion Heavenly Venerable for Saving Suffering first, and then it is not clear." ”
The chief of Xinyun Dao whispered beside him: "Don't talk!"
Ma Guocai and Du Feng glanced at each other and silently continued to burn paper money. It's just that the divine consciousness has been observing what is going on in this hell.
As the mages chanted the scriptures, the aura around them changed more and more, and Equestria could clearly feel that this sense of compassion was gathering more and more, and there was also some good and wishful breath, which began to affect the surrounding spirits, and the curious ghosts who were still talking began to calm down, as if they had heard some beautiful music, and they were intoxicated.
In the end, I saw the high-level master master, that is, the one who took the lead, holding the staff in his hand, inserting it into the middle of the pattern drawn earlier, and shouting softly: "Break!"
With a soft cry from him, it seemed that the meaning of great mercy and compassion poured into the ground along with the staff, combined with the geomagnetic waves, and instantly dispersed.
This kind of compassion, like holy water, when it passes through the soul, washes away the resentment and evil spirit on the ghost's body! Ma Guo clearly saw that the surrounding ghosts, the original miserable death appearance, have changed, and there is no longer any sense of pain, and gradually return to a normal appearance.
And he obviously felt that the evil qi around him had also disappeared a lot. It made him feel comfortable all over his body.
Next, the refining began, and the mages began to spill wine. Give food. Please eat it from the undead in all directions. He also recited some scriptures in his mouth.
In Ma Guocai's eyes, the whole process was very wonderful, there was not much food and wine, and those ghosts didn't eat it, but the ghosts all seemed to have eaten it, and they were all very satisfied and comfortable.
Finally the teachers began to recite the Sutra of Transcendence. When it came to this procedure, Ma Guocai and Du Feng were fine, and Daoist Xinyun motioned for them to chant together.
As the group recited the scriptures, Ma Guo found that those ghosts began to fall asleep, as if they had eaten and drunk enough, and their souls had been satisfied, and as the scriptures were recited, their figures became more and more faint. In the end, only a few True Spirits remained, and they fell into the ground. It seems that Buddhism and Taoism. Although the scriptures of the two schools are different, they have similar effects.
When this transcendence ritual was completed, the three leading uncles all suddenly behaved very weakly, as if it had taken a lot of energy to complete the entire transcendence process. A few disciples didn't have much energy, but they didn't behave as seriously as a few uncles.
Daoist Xinyun instructed him and Du Feng to carry a senior uncle back on their backs, and Daoist Xinyun himself also carried the leading high-level mage.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother!" said Xinyun Dao Leader to the high-level mage behind him.
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't really done transcendent Dharma like this for many years, and my spirit is terrible. The high master said tiredly.
Ma Guocai was carrying a senior uncle on his back, and he originally wanted to ask more questions about this aspect, but seeing that he put his head on his shoulder, it seemed that he was too tired to do it, and he was too embarrassed to ask again.
This time, the range of the excess radiation seemed to be very wide, and by the time they returned, Equestria had no more wandering ghosts on the road.
Ma Guocai is also the first time, I have seen the real Taoist superordinate ritual, the previous family, it was really completely pretentious, if the mage in the family had this ability, the old man, it would have been exceeded, and there was nothing to do with him.
In recent days, during the day, they have been cleaning up the aftermath in the mountains, and the government has also come early, and there are professional people who estimate the damage to the building, which places can be remedied, and those places have become dangerous places that must be rebuilt, and the final estimate of the damage caused is directly as high as about 5 billion, which is really a staggering figure.
In the evening, Ma Guocai and his uncle went to the bottom of the mountain to carry out supernatural rituals. Although Qingcheng belongs to the Taoist holy land, it does not mean that there are no monks, and occasionally, you can also meet monks with you. Although the peers are enemies, at this juncture, no one is more serious with anyone, and the monks are also more humble, and each is responsible for one party. After all, this side can be regarded as their Taoist power.
It took more than half a month to stop the excess.
Equestria can clearly feel the changes in the aura around him, and some time ago, he would feel that there was a depressing and lifeless feeling in the whole surroundings. Looking at the sun, it is like being covered with a layer of neon fog, and the animals and plants have lost their vitality.
And now the resentment, the dead air, are almost gone. The sky cleared up again, and although it was still a mess after the disaster, it felt like watching the construction of a new house.
Of course, all this is not their work, for the whole society, they are insignificant, even if they do not come out to exceed, it will not have much impact on the world.
This is mainly a blessing that drags modern society. Modern society is different from ancient times, the post-disaster rescue work is very good, the information is developed, and the whole world cares about anything and will give help.
After the disaster, the prayers, donations, and solidarity of all parts of the country are the greatest contributors.
If you think about it, you can understand that when a person dies and becomes a ghost, the most hopeful and most worried is naturally his family. If the family is not well taken care of, they will not be able to live well in the future, and they will die at ease, which will naturally breed resentment and give birth to thoughts of revenge. In addition, there are too many dead people, and a bad qi will be formed, which is easy to nourish the things of demons and ghosts.
Moreover, the power of wishes formed by praying for blessings in various places, this kind of positive energy, will gather here, and it will dispel the resentment and evil spirit formed after the death of some people in vain. Without these powers for the ghosts to absorb, they naturally cannot be powerful. I'm afraid that after a while, this place will start to return to normal.
This may be the reason why there are no more demons and monsters in modern society. (To be continued......)
