Back then, Xu Xiao attacked Xichu and besieged the city of Xiangfan for ten years, causing the people in the city to be sold like cattle.

A loving mother cuts meat to feed her children, and an evil father throws his son into a cooking pot. All kinds of human conditions, good and evil, are greatly expanded in that ghost city. Every inch of the wall is filled with blood, and every inch of vegetation is filled with sadness. The yin energy of Xiangfan is so heavy that it is unimaginable.

After ten years of attack and defense, under the strict orders of the imperial court, no scholar or historian was allowed to put it into writing.

Nowadays, the children of Liyang's aristocratic families and the rich ladies travel around the world, but they are basically unwilling to come to Xiangfancheng. The main reason is that Xiangfancheng has too much yin energy, which hinders luck and has some taboos.

At that time, Wang Yangming, the best general in the world, had been stationed at Diaoyutai for ten years before he could be said to be firmly seated at Diaoyutai now. There are not many people who can make Xu Xiao gnash his teeth with hatred. That scholar of Western Chu who really understood the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period in his reading.

able

Ranked in the top three, even if the Western Chu Emperor behind the Western Barrier is defeated, even if the entire Jiangnan is captured, this city and the Diaoyutai will still stand. It is a pity that no matter how impregnable Xiangfan is, it cannot affect the overall situation of the world.

Xu Zongjia looked at the famous Diaoyutai tower on the city wall. One pillar of the Diaoyutai has been supporting the wall for ten years and a half. Wang Yangming's defense of the city is indeed the best in the world. Even Xu Xiao would have been difficult to capture the city. If it weren't for the fact that the sun had set on the Western Chu Mountains,

Without the ability to support it, the city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed.

Xu Zongjia sighed, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and couldn't help but think.

"When the food in the city is exhausted, the horses will be eaten. When the horses are exhausted, the birds will dig up the rats. When the birds and rats are exhausted, they will eat people again."

What’s the point of defending the city for ten years in exchange for a scene like hell on earth? Although Wang Yangming is loyal, the people in the city are so innocent. He has gained the reputation of being the number one guard in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the price is all over the city.

The price of the people's near-death was horrific, ethics were ruined, people were like wild beasts, and wronged souls were everywhere.

Xu Zongjia's footsteps were heavy. When he reached his current state, he always had a little more love for the people in the world. The ultimate ideological realm of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was to be compassionate and help the world and lead people to do good. Therefore, Xu Zongjia sometimes felt a little sad.

The sigh of autumn wind.

"Looking at the Western Capital, I feel hesitant. I am sad. Wherever the Chu-Han Sutra travels, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned to earth. When it rises, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer."

Xu Zongjia changed the word "Qin" in the original world poet Zhang Yanghao's "Shanshan Sheep·Tong Cares about the Ancient" to "Chu", which fit the scene in front of him and made everyone feel nostalgic.

Jiang Ni, in particular, had tears in her eyes. She was originally from the Western Chu royal family, but now she was reduced to a maid. She returned to the old capital of her homeland, and she felt even more emotional.

The moat of Xiangfan City is extremely wide, and the suspension bridge on the river has not been closed. Xiangfan is strictly closed at night, but the suspension bridge has been laid flat over the years, and even the main entrance has never been closed overnight. It seems that according to the instructions of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master, ghosts are not locked up.

Open the door and let the innocent soul leave Xiangfan, the capital of Feng.

When Xu Fengnian saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He deliberately changed the subject, walked in front of everyone, and talked about an old matter.

"After the ten-year siege of the city ended, Emperor Liyang invited the Taoist court to set up the Zhoutian Dazhan because Xiangfan had too much yin energy and the ghosts were still alive, so that they could save the ghosts and ghosts, seek salvation for them, and allow them to be reincarnated."

Zhoutian Dajiao is the highest ritual of Taoism, with 1,200 altars. It is already a large scale. Generally speaking, it is only a grand event in the emperor's family or the Taoist ancestral court when there is a serious situation. The word "jiao" has a different meaning.

It’s talking about the etiquette of serving wine. To put it simply, it’s

The Taoist priests hosted a banquet in honor of the Zhou Tian Immortals. Before the Liyang Dynasty, the largest scale of the Zhou Tian Dajiao was to set up a Jiao to pray for the prince. Two thousand four hundred saints were invited to descend to earth to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, as well as to hold a Jiao for the emperor.

To protect the country and benefit the people, there are 3,600 great offerings.

Gu Xing

But this time, Xiangfan City's Zhoutian Dajiao was an unprecedented 36,500 Dajiao since the Taoism was founded by the Tianshi Mansion. It was equivalent to inviting all the saint-suppressing immortals in the sky. The original tribute alone cost a lot of money.

Nine hundred thousand silver taels were taken to the treasury, which shows how seriously Liyang Chao attached importance to and tabooed this matter.

"Before leaving the city, Master Huang Zi from Longhu Mountain went around the city with his own hands, drew talismans and wrote seals. Finally, there was a Taoist celestial talisman hanging on the top floor of the Diaoyutai, writing: "The Heavenly Gang has been returned to the Heavenly Gang, and the Earthly Demon should return to the earth." He said when he would wait until

When Xiangfan's wandering soul is gone, this talisman will burn."

However, it has been many years since the Tianfu was written, and it has never disappeared. It has undoubtedly become a lingering haze in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangfan City.

Xu Zongjia glanced disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, despising these flashy Zhou Tian Dazhu. Why save the souls of the dead and spend so much money? However, this is also a common trick used by Buddhists. It is not easy for him to expose it. It will ruin other people's jobs. After all,

Although he has never become a monk, he can still be regarded as a Buddhist.

Jiang Ni really believed in these mysterious things. When he heard these gloomy stories, he was trembling with fear and no longer sad.

Xu Fengnian even took this opportunity to comfort the beauty and win her heart, which made him secretly happy.

Li Chungang originally didn't want to see Xu Fengnian deceive his young apprentice like this, but he also saw that Xu Fengnian was the nemesis of the little clay figurine. He rolled his eyes helplessly, not wanting to expose Xu Fengnian's sinister intentions.

Although Xu Fengnian comforted Jiang Ni, he himself felt heavy and muttered to himself.

"What are you afraid of? I'm the one who's afraid of Xiangfan. You know I really believe in Buddhism, the six paths of reincarnation, and karma. The sins in Xiangfan City are owed by my Xu family, and the evil spirits should look for me.

!”

Xu Zongjia looked at his Dharma Eyes and glanced at the sky above Xiangfan City, which was enveloped by endless black energy. Countless faces appeared in the black energy. The faces were all wailing in pain, biting each other and unable to escape. There was a green and purple gangster on the periphery of the black energy.

The aura enveloped them, trapping these evil ghosts and innocent souls within them, making it difficult for them to escape.

Xu Zongjia couldn't help but secretly frown, looking at the talisman placed in the Diaoyutai of the city tower, and said dissatisfied.

"These Taoist priests in the Longhu Tianshi Mansion are really messing around. They have no ability to save the souls of the dead. They just use Taoist talismans to suppress these evil ghosts. Aren't they afraid that a hundred thousand evil ghosts will break the seal in the future and cause a catastrophe?"

Xu Fengnian and Li Chungang were stunned when they heard this, looked at Xu Zongjia in confusion, and asked curiously.

"Do you still understand these things about ghosts and gods?"

Xu Zongjia's expression was calm, without any hint of arrogance, and he said softly.

"I am a fellow practitioner of the three religions, so I naturally know some things about ghosts and gods. Isn't it strange?"

Li Chungang suddenly realized that he had seen Xu Zongjia perform the Taoist technique of shrinking the ground into an inch and the Buddhist technique of growing lotus step by step. Xu Zongjia usually considered himself a scholar, but Li Chungang simply mistakenly thought that Xu Zongjia was only proficient in the martial arts of the three religions. Unexpectedly,
