Huang Tian jumped out of the pot with a pop, and saw that there was no trace of breath in the bubbling clear soup, and only a faint aroma was refreshing.

Huang Tian has already condensed his divine body, with all the internal organs, divine blood and divine nature. He is the so-called "double cultivation of life and life" among the immortals. As a born divine, his whole body is full of natural materials and earthly treasures.

Just the bath water depends on which piece of farmland it is poured into. If the field is planted with radishes, the medicinal properties of radish will be the same as ginseng. If the field is planted with shallots, the shallots will mutate into green onions.

Seeing such a scene, a group of female monks, female goblins, and female ghosts were stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly. However, after smelling the aroma of meat, they had a bad feeling in their hearts, and then they began to scream: "Huang Tian

No! My baby! How can I live without you!"

Emperor Cao Cheng, Judge Lu and others were hiding in the dark but they secretly laughed: Xiao Huangtian, Xiao Huangtian, how many surprises do you have that I don’t know about?

The screaming just started here, and it was like the scene at that time. People outside had no idea what the screaming was for, and they thought it was murder.

The moment brought an atmosphere of terror, causing many children in the city to be frightened and start crying.

Huang Tian hid in the gurgling pot and was about to enjoy the peace. However, after a moment, he was fished out with a colander by the chef of Chuxianlou who was competing in the arena next door. Seeing that Huang Tian was fine, he showed a smile: "Naughty!

”

Huang Tian: Okay, I don’t need to add oil when cooking.

Just as the crying started here, a black cloud and mist floated in, covering the stars and moon, making it dark and dull.

Even many female cultivators felt that they could not see their fingers. The city emperor tried his best to open his eyes, but it was so dark that even ghosts and gods like him could not see clearly.

Among the thousands of cries, everyone just listened to the cries that seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Coming!"

The Pomegranate Goddess took out a quilt. This quilt was a magic weapon given by the Empress Dowager, named Wanying Dou.

Its shape is that of a square rectangular quilt used to wrap a newborn baby. It is a Shinto magic weapon refined from the breath of blessings contained in the quilts used to wrap newborn babies in thousands of households.

And in the endless darkness, everyone felt a long-awaited hunger in their stomachs, and they felt like they were alone in a foot of snow outside the city at night, and were wearing only plain clothes.

In such an atmosphere, the female nuns and ghosts who had experienced the poor days fell into childhood memories. However, the more they recalled, the more miserable they became.

For a moment, the sky was slightly dimmed, and there was no darkness, but a black snow began to fall. Each snowflake was the despair of the human heart, the coldness and hunger of the body, death, resentment, and longing, intertwined with each other.

In this way, a group of ghost nuns who were caught in memories were contaminated by the black snow, gradually froze, and fell into a nightmare.

Nightmares are not necessarily ghosts or monsters, they may also be the reality of life.

A weak female voice, weak but very firm, repeated mechanically, affirming over and over again: "You must live well. Mom has not left. Mom will turn into a big bird. When you look up at the sky,

If a bird passes by, it means I am back to see you."

"The Great Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Holy Mother, bless my daughter to grow up safely! The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Holy Mother! The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Holy Mother..."

I saw a big bird hovering in the sky. She was wearing blood-red clothes and had black wings. Her eyes were weeping and she was whining.

But the figure of this big bird is illusory, as if it were an illusion that appeared before someone's eyes when he was about to die.

Misty, with a faint light, like the warmth of feathers in the cold, and a faint expectation in the indifference of sadness.

Mom is here to pick me up.

Come pick me up!

Happy!

"Little cabbage, the ground is yellow, I am three or two years old, my mother is gone... My father married my stepmother. After three and a half years, I gave birth to a younger brother who is better than me... My younger brother eats noodles.

, I drank soup, picked up the bowl, and burst into tears, dear mother..."

After seeing such a big bird, some ghost boys popped up everywhere. There were many such ghost boys at the Huangtian Temple before. They played, ate incense and offerings, and when tired of playing, they hid in the cracks of rocks and trees.

Resting in the shadow of the cave...

"One, two, three...eight, nine!"

After counting carefully, there were exactly nine ghost boys, all girls, and nine ghost mothers, all nine sons, but this one was nine daughters.

Nine ghost girls held hands and formed a circle, crying and recounting their tragic experiences over and over again.

That sound is heart-wrenching and depressing.

These ghost girls are wearing blood-red clothes, but it can be seen that they are not originally red, but dirty linen clothes, tattered.

Maybe it's the tears that washed over and over again, washing them into the current color. The tears that couldn't be shed turned into blood. I wiped my tears with the corner of my white clothes, my blood. My mother told me to be strong...

These ghost girls dispersed from the circle formed by holding hands.

"I'm going to find my mother."

I saw these nine ghost girls running around. When they saw a female nun shrouded in black snow, they cautiously asked: "Are you my mother?"

I wanted to step forward and take her hand, but as soon as I touched it, the ghost girl didn't feel the faint warmth, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The more they feel lost, the bigger the black snow becomes.

So I braved the severe cold and boundless darkness, running barefoot over and over again.

Huang Tian was afraid that these female cultivators would be killed, so he quickly jumped out and blended in with these ghost girls, even dressing in rags on purpose.

But the divine light on his body began to show slightly, melting the black snow and blocking these sad emotions.

Although Huang Tian doesn't know who his father is, at least he has Mother Earth, whose compassion nurtures all things.

"Yeah!"

A ghost girl discovered Xiao Huangtian and looked him up and down: "Are you a girl or a boy? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I'm neither a boy nor a girl..."

"Ah! Are you a little eunuch?" The ghost girl showed sympathy: "My brother was sent to the palace to be a little eunuch..."

"Don't you have a mother too? Ah!"

Huang Tian didn't know how to explain it, so he nodded.

Seeing Huang Tian nod, the ghost girl couldn't help showing a sad expression: "Oh, I shouldn't ask this, but it doesn't matter, let's go find it together!" She directly took Huang Tian's hand and started running with Huang Tian.<

/p>

However, the ghost girl's hands were extremely cold, and the chill made Huang Tian shiver.

When the illusive woman in red in the sky saw Huang Tian, ​​she shed blood-red tears: "My son, it was so hard to find you for my mother!"

The Pomegranate Goddess who was hiding in the dark saw these ghost girls and the ghost mother in red with wings in the sky. She immediately said to the gods beside her: "Now we are in trouble, it is really the ghost mother."

The mother-in-law on the bedside sighed: "How can we have a home if we are born without nourishment?"

"These ghost girls couldn't get their mother's love, so they imagined a mother. In addition to the incident of Xiao Huangtian being kidnapped, they heard so many voices saying, "Mom loves you," that they finally couldn't help but come to find their mother.

."

Emperor Cao Cheng frowned: "They just wanted to find their mother, why would they kidnap the child?"

"It might be jealousy, or it might be resentment. Didn't you hear them humming just now? My brother eats noodles and I drink noodle soup. This is something that is hard to explain...but it is always wrong to harm others. Alas,

But cats and dogs are older..."

Huang Tian saw the Ghost Mother in the sky and thought of several legends about the Ghost Mother.

The first one is the local ghost mother, which is the so-called Guhuo bird, or summer bird. It is said that a pregnant woman dies in the mountains and is transformed into a spirit. She can turn into a woman in red or a big bird, and cries at night.

The voice is like an owl.

There are two versions, good and evil.

Evil baby thieves often find homes with crying babies at night, leave bloody paw prints, and kidnap them the next day. However, they have no milk and turn into big birds during the day. They only put the baby in the bird's nest.

When the doll dies of thirst and starvation and turns into a mummy, its soul will be swallowed up and melted into its belly.

After killing nine babies, she will become the Nine Sons Ghost Mother, a very ferocious ghost.

The good ones are raising abandoned babies, collecting the souls of drowned baby girls, collecting dew and nectar, feeding the babies, and waiting to see which family is kind, then delivering the dolls to their doorstep, so it is also called the child-giving bird.

, is a kind of divine bird and beast, which will gradually condense its divinity, and finally completely become the "God of Delivering Children".

There is also a ghost mother in Buddhism, named Heli Emperor Mu, also known as the ghost mother goddess.

It was rumored that the Lord Buddha was teaching Dharma in the city of Rajagaha, and everyone who heard about it went to the city.

A pregnant woman fell down on the road and was bleeding. She kept begging everyone who passed by, but everyone was eager to listen to the Buddha's sermon, so no one helped her.

Later, she died on the road. When she was dying, she swore an evil oath to make everyone in Rajagaha experience her pain. Because of her resentment, she fell into the realm of hungry ghosts and could not be liberated.

After falling into the realm of hungry ghosts, she turned into a ghost mother goddess and gave birth to five hundred ghosts. She sent them into the city of Wangha every day to steal babies.

The people in the city couldn't bear the disturbance, so they prayed to the Buddha, who then took action and captured one of her children.

The mother goddess of ghosts was extremely anxious after not seeing her son return for a long time. She knew that the only one who could catch her son was the World Honored One, so she went to beg the World Honored One to return the ghosts to her.

The World Honored One said: "Your children are also children, and other people's children are also children. You are so anxious and sad when one of your five hundred children is lost. What's more, those mothers only have one child. How sad must they be? Aren't they suffering from you?

A hundred times a thousand times?"

As a result, the ghost mother gave up her obsession and was transformed into a Buddhist protector god, serving as the protector gods of Buddhism.

This story is a typical "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately", but it pays more attention to "cause and effect".
