The waning moon painted by the old monk has a folk proverb: "Up and up and down and down and down and east and east." This means that the first quarter moon (new moon), the first half of the moon, the first half of the night, the western sky is bright in the west, and the second quarter moon (waning moon), the second half of the moon, the second half of the night, the eastern sky is bright in the east. Therefore, the painting corresponds to the second half of the night of the 22nd and 3rd days of the lunar calendar, indicating that the spiritual passage will only be opened at this time.

Mo Yan and the little mountain ghost climbed the Yuju Peak one day in advance, although the wind on the mountain was cold and frozen, fortunately, he had deep internal strength and was wearing that fur shoulder, so he didn't feel how cold, and the little mountain ghost was rough and thick-skinned, and he didn't care, he had been imprisoned in the world for more than 1,500 years, and he would be able to return immediately, Ling'er was naturally extremely excited.

The "Dragon Pond" surrounded by rhododendron shrubs on the peak is still rippled, and the water of the pond is black and secluded, like a mirror, reflecting the night sky, which makes people suddenly feel confused, so that they can't distinguish between heaven and earth.

It was under this pool of water that Mo Yan found Mr. Mu's body back then, and now the tomb under the blue-gray rock peak stone screen has been covered with thick snow, and he has been dead for five or six years. Time has passed, and now it is Mo Yan who has come to explore the spiritual realm passage of Yuju Peak, how should Mr. Mu feel if he has knowledge under the spring.

These days, from Ling'er's mouth, I have a general understanding of the spiritual world, where the territory is vast and boundless, there are also the sun, moon and day and night cycle, mountains, rivers, flowers and trees. Ling'er itself is a demon beast, and has cultivated to the ninth stage at the end of the "refining period", and has melted away the stalk bone between the throats so that he can speak people, but he was accidentally swept into the passage by the spiritual energy vortex and mistakenly broke into the world. Of course, this is extremely rare.

As far as he knows, there are races among humans in the spirit realm. The giants are more than two feet tall. The dwarfs, on the other hand, are less than three feet tall, but they are generally similar to earthly humans. It is said that there is also a kind of "corpse man", which is very secretive and weird, and Ling'er has never seen it.

Ling'er said that the aura there is very sufficient, and the lifespan of animals and plants is extremely long, so that humans and demon beasts are keen on cultivation, and one day they can ascend to the immortal realm. There are many immortal cultivators, and there are also some scattered cultivators who are silently cultivating alone. Conflicts often broke out between the Immortal Cultivation Families and between them and the demon beasts, and the scenes were bloody and tragic, with each other's victories and defeats.

Mo Yan also asked about the cultivation of demon beasts, and Ling'er said that in the earthly world, many exercises are based on the "seventh" layer as the highest level, and in the spirit world, "nine" is the limit. For example, the "refining period" of his cultivation is equivalent to the "qi refining period" of human cultivation, and as for the level of cultivation, he only knows that people have nine stages, such as the qi refining period, the foundation building period, the golden pill stage, and the yuan infant stage and so on, and the demon beasts also have corresponding levels. It's just that the name is different, and Ling'er has already cultivated to the ninth layer of the highest "refining period" back then.

The spirit ape family to which it belongs lives in the spirit realm. It is said that the Xiuxian family there has eight major factions of "Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun", and each faction leads eight small factions, just like the earthly eight eight sixty-four hexagrams.

"Which faction has the highest cultivation technique?" Mo Yan asked him at the time, his piece of jade Jian Mind Method belonged to the "Genshan Sect", and he didn't know if it was considered superior.

Ling'er replied that the various factions were almost the same, because the five elements were mutually reinforcing, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior, but it depended on the practitioner's understanding.

"So what exactly is a 'corpse'?"

Ling'er heard that it was formed by the corpse transformation of the people in the spirit world after the death of some kind of adventure, and they were extremely angry, and they hid in a place where people were inaccessible and secretly cultivated, which was very ferocious and terrifying.

"Master, if you encounter a 'corpse' in the future, you must avoid them. ”

I don't know if I can enter the spirit world, why do you want to go so far, Mo Yan secretly said in his heart, the people of the world desperately want to run to the spirit world, and the people and demon beasts in the spirit world practice hard and want to go to the fairy world, so what about the people in the fairy world, it is really like Lai Bu said, "its greatness is endless".

In any case, since Ling'er can enter the mortal world through the spiritual realm, it is entirely possible for him to shuttle back and forth and bring his father and mother and Jin Danzi and his wife to the spiritual realm.

Two days have passed, there is no abnormality on the Jade Bureau Peak, Mo Yan can't help but feel uneasy, tonight is the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, the last day of the specified time, if you miss it, you will have to wait for another month.

"Wangfu Cloud" often appears during the day, and it rarely occurs at night, at least Mo Yan has never heard of it.

"Ling'er, if there is no sign tonight, we will have to wait until next month. Mo Yan was a little frustrated.

After about a few hours, the two of them were nervously observing the eastern night sky, the waning moon was like a hook of stars, and occasionally one or two meteors crossed by.

At this moment, a white cloud appeared in the night sky under the moonlight, hovering on the top of the Jade Bureau Peak. Suddenly, from white to darken, rising higher and higher, a long black shadow was pulled, like a slender woman with a black mourning dress, and "Wangfuyun" finally appeared.

At this time, overlooking the Erhai Lake, the white waves are surging, and the sound of the waves is vaguely heard in the ears.

The two of them suddenly became nervous, Mo Yan held the spider armor talisman in his left hand, and the golden knife ghost slashing talisman in his right hand was waiting for the battle, and the little mountain ghost bent his bow and arrows, ready for velvet to light the fuse and launch at any time.

Suddenly, the water in the pool of "Dragon Pond" splashed in all directions, and a whirlwind swept into the sky, and suddenly the dense fog covered the sky and the darkness, and the stars in the sky were completely gone, and the clothes were hunting, and the eyes could hardly be opened. At this moment, a long roar was suddenly heard, and an eagle's head poked out of the gray-white haze whirlwind in mid-air, with sharp eyes and a huge and sharp beak, and the gaze of the yin owl was fixed on Mo Yan's fur shoulder.

"Spirit Bird Gu Eagle!" Mo Yan shouted, casually throwing out the spider armor amulet, and in an instant, a faint black light enveloped himself and the little mountain ghost inside.

The Gu eagle flapped its wings and flew out of the haze whirlwind and landed in the pool, which seemed to be more than two feet high, and the pool water was only half as long as its long legs.

"Be careful, this is a refinement stage demon beast!" Ling'er exclaimed.

Mo Yan had already understood at this moment that the hole in Mr. Mu's head was pecked through by the Gu Eagle's pointed beak, and he hoped that the spider armor talisman could block its fatal peck.

The Gu Eagle stretched out its big head and probed into the outside of the amulet black light cover, tilted its head sideways and carefully inspected the fur shoulder that Mo Yan was wearing, his nostrils kept sniffing, the original Yin Owl's sharp gaze slowly softened, and his mouth groaned softly, as if calling for something.

Mo Yan glanced down at the shoulders on his body, and secretly said in his heart, the Gu Eagle must have recognized the Gu Eagle Boy's fur and eliminated the hostility.

"Master, it's strange that this monster doesn't seem to mean to hurt us. Ling'er said puzzled.

"I know that it must be the mother of the Gu carving, and when I saw this shoulder made of the fur of the Gu carving boy, I simply returned it to her. Mo Yan took off his fur and shoulders and threw out the protective shield.

The female Gu Eagle gently pecked Pikan's shoulder with her long beak, her eyes seemed to be full of tears, and she let out a long cry and disappeared into the whirlwind.

"Zheng Gong Yu, Zheng Gong Yu, Shang Zheng Zheng Yu Shang Zheng, Zheng Gong Zheng Gong Jiao Zheng" Mo Yan sang the song "Dying" at this moment, the sound quality was thick and desolate, penetrating the haze whirlwind, and echoing at the top of the Jade Bureau Peak for a long time.

At this moment, the water began to ripple slowly, and the swirling water flow became larger and larger, and after a while, two water walls were formed, revealing the bare bottom of the pool, and the dementor could clearly see a transparent circular passage under his eyes, and the door of the spiritual world opened

Mo Yan couldn't suppress the excitement and nervousness in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice, "Let's go in." ”

The two of them slowly moved their steps and walked towards the passage, and the talisman mask also moved.

The transparent door of the spiritual realm seemed to be an invisible prohibition, blocking them outside, Mo Yan hurriedly continued to sing the tune: "Zheng Gong Yu, Zheng Gong Yu" The voice penetrated and tore the qi ban, and the two finally stepped in.

At the end of the song, I heard the sound of rushing water, the two water walls overturned, the pool water returned to its original state, and at this moment the haze whirlwind quietly disappeared, and the Erhai Lake at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in the east was also calm. The moon and stars were in the night sky, the blue sky was like a wash, there were no traces on the Jade Bureau Peak, and the spiritual passage was closed again.

A few years later, the "Wangfu Cloud" on Cangshan Mountain rose and fell year after year, but no one knew that the "Dragon Pool" on the Yuju Peak was actually another void spiritual passage.

On an early winter night, the Jin Danzi couple in the Yindan Cave under the Tianzhu Peak of Jizu Mountain suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Mo Wenli, a blind man from a wealthy family in Dali City, and his wife Su Niang, no one knew where they went.

The debate puja held every seven years at Gantong Temple is held as usual, and scholars from all over the world still have different opinions, and they have not yet solved it.

Today, three hundred years later, some visitors come to the Gantong Temple under the Shengying Peak, see a small stream gurgling, the water quality is clear and sweet, ask the local villagers to learn that this stream is called "Mo Remnant Creek", as for the origin of the name, but no one knows.
