Chapter 10 The Lady of the Night says
Wu Qi asked: "Do you remember the appearance characteristics of Ye Lang's daughter?"
“No impression.”
Xiao Zhang said: "I only remember Mr. Zhang."
The memory of the bamboo demon was 40 years ago. It was still a bamboo shoot, and was ignorantly held by Zhang Shuisheng in his hand. As for Ye Lang and earlier days, his memory was blank.
Chongyang flew around the bamboo demon, with a sharp voice: "Isn't the best memory to transform into a demon? I remember everything about 1,325 years ago. You kid is innately lacking in mind."
Wu Qi was puzzled by another point: "The grass and trees turn into monsters, at least a hundred years, and the most are hundreds of years. Xiao Zhang turned into bamboo monsters in just 40 years. Why is this?"
"Honor, he may be gifted." Chongyang guessed: "It may be nourished by heavenly treasures and shortened the years of spiritual consciousness, and this situation is also true."
Facing the little brother of the bamboo demon, the dogwood spirit took out his style: "Xiao Zhang, what do you know? Why don't you show it to the Venerable?"
"I will turn into bamboo."
After saying that, Xiao Zhang turned into a green bamboo growing in a stone slab.
"Who wants to see this? Some other spells." Chongyang said.
Xiao Zhang thought for a while: "I will become a human being."
He turned back to the previous boy with a hang-eyed eye, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, behind his back with one hand.
After constantly exploring, Wu Qi had to accept the fact that Xiao Zhang was indeed an ordinary bamboo monster.
He can only turn into a bamboo into a human being, without other specialties or talents.
Chongyang had to change the topic: "You must have been encouraged by spiritual liquid and spirit stones since you were young."
Xiao Zhang recalled: "Old Zhang watered me every four days, using pig and sheep manure as fertilizer. After the leaves grow, he would spray water regularly to keep it moist. He would clean up the accumulated water in rainy days. When it is cold, he would lift the stove next to me to keep it warm..."
For many years, Zhang Cuo has cared for human-faced bamboo carefully, but it has nothing to do with spiritual liquid and spirit stones.
Before Xiao Zhang showed up, Zhang Cu Lao didn't even know that it was a spiritual bamboo.
The scene froze for a moment.
He has no innate talent and no spiritual things to help him grow, but Xiao Zhang can turn into a bamboo into a monster in forty years.
Then the problem can only lie in Yelang’s girl at the source.
Wu Qi turned back to Taoist temple and searched in the library on the second floor of Fuyun Building.
After his reincarnation, the first thing he did was to go to this library to read books, understand the historical customs and customs of this swaying world, so as to adapt to the new life.
As early as when he was still Yujian Pavilion, the head teacher Wu Daoji distributed a sum of money every year to buy books, not only new books in various bookstores, but also defective, damaged, and lost books by the Buddhist and Taoist sects. He advocated not forgetting to read the practice and to learn from other things.
Although Fuyun Temple is poor now, its collection of books is far greater than that of ordinary third-rate sects.
Wu Qi found Yelang Kingdom from the "Classic of the Barbarian Kingdom".
The world knows Yelang Kingdom more often comes from the term "Yelang's arrogance", which says that the Yelang Kingdom king believes that Yelang is the largest country in the world and makes jokes in front of the envoys of the Han Dynasty.
Of course this is fake, but it is just the creation and processing of Confucian scholars.
The historical books are vague about Yelang, but the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have dealt with Yelang people, leaving some records.
Yelang Kingdom was born with Yelang bamboo. The bamboo was strong but the country was strong. The bamboo was weak but the country was weak. Yelang people respected women. Whether men and women were holding bamboo, they were not afraid of demons. They were brave and unrestrained, dared to love and hate, and had fought against ghosts several times with monks of the three religions.
The reason for the destruction of the country was that the Yelang king and the Han emperor had a feud was one aspect, and the more fundamental reason was that the "Three-Phase Youwang" invaded, took away the Yelang ancient bamboo, and turned the entire Yelang Kingdom into a dark land. Although the Jianyouwei and the great monks of the Three Sects severely injured the Three-Phase Youwang King from the sky, the Yelang Kingdom was completely destroyed.
The You King destroyed a country. Naturally, the court would not announce this to the people. It would only keep posting notices in various states, emphasizing the danger of You. Once someone finds a suspected You ghost, he should immediately notify the local Youwei or the monks of the Three Sects.
Wu Qi felt a little nervous when he saw it.
The more you understand You, the more you can understand its terribleness. The biggest source of disaster that is above the demons and ghosts is by no means just a talk.
Now there are very few Yelang's survivors, and most of them are hiding their names. To find the ancient Yelang bamboo is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The book of the Scriptures in your hand is very lost."
Elder Yan appeared next to Wu Qi at some time, and he held a book called "Marriage, Lu, and Ya Gua" and was also looking for a book.
"I will be slow to write down my hand. If you have any doubts about this book, you can ask me."
As the only elder of Fuyun Temple, Elder Yan does everything, can set up a stall to tell fortunes, fortune-telling, marriage fortune-telling, internal channel temple expenses, and various cumbersome affairs of disciples.
Wu Qi remembered that this fat elder knew everything.
"Elder Yan, that's it..."
He hid the matter of Xiao Zhang, the bamboo demon, and told the story of Zhang Lai Lao and Ye Lang Nu.
Elder Yan wiped his neck with a handkerchief: "Strange, Ye Langnu is not like this."
Wu Qi was curious: "Elder Yan has seen Ye Lang's daughter?"
Elder Yan smiled: "When I was young, I met a Yelang woman. She was strong and said that foreign men must marry into Yelang before they can get married and be married... Yelang women never give away bamboo, let alone spiritual bamboo, bamboo treats them like brothers."
"Yarang proverb 'Ling bamboo is like hands and feet, men are like clothes, clothes are torn, and they can still be sewn, and hands and feet are broken, so how can they be sustained?'. Ling bamboo is indispensable and men can replace it. I couldn't stand this at that time..."
Elder Yan sighed.
Wu Qi complained in his heart.
The cold air was shivering. When will Yelang man stand up? Is Yelang Country gone? That's all right.
Wu Qi suddenly realized: "Elder, is Ye Lang's Girl fake?"
"From my personal shallow experience, I have doubts." Elder Yan took out another book "History of Prices of Fast and Ceremony" and said: "I have been with the Qinglong Lake in Changning Prefecture thirty years ago with the Spectator, and I want to see the opportunity."
It is said that there are always monks who come to take chances when they are pregnant by Lingzhu next to Qinglong Lake.
The practice of Taoism emphasizes the law of wealth, but also the word "responsible". Taoism is passed down to the person who is destined to be, which is also the core summary of Taoism's nature.
Elder Yan investigated it honestly and saw that the Qinglong Lake area was quiet and gentle, which was indeed a treasure land for the birth of bamboo. In addition, the surrounding terrain was steep, with roads and deep forests. Fugitives often avoided the pursuit of the government here.
The viewer Wu Daoji found many insiders.
The theory of spiritual bamboo happened to be the most prosperous ten years ago. At that time, hunters and herb collectors witnessed it. They saw that the bamboo forest by the lake were shimmering green, as if treasures were born, and called Lingzhu. Among the monks of the three religions, the Taoist priest of Qingchengshan came first and left soon.
"Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple..." Wu Qi was stunned: "It's a pity that I don't know what happened there."
Even if there are gains, Qingcheng Mountain has no obligation to announce it to the public.
"I know a little bit."
Elder Yan put "Examination Mistake" and "Price History" on a bamboo chair aside and rubbed the back of his neck: "I also have two acquaintances in Qingcheng Mountain. I asked them curiously at that time. Taoist fellow Chang Daoguan said that it was not the birth of spiritual objects, but the rebirth of the demon and ghost when they were dying. As for what the demon is, according to the rules of Chang Daoguan, there is nothing to tell."
"Thank you Elder!"
Wu Qi returned to Zhidian and left immediately.
...
Dong Temple, under the statue of the Three Qings.
Wu Qi crossed his legs on the cushion and said slowly: "I have found out about this."
"A bamboo transforms into a demon. The deadline of this demon is approaching and the death is about to appear. When she is dying, she meets a wounded man passing by. The spirit is about to die and her heart is good. She saves the man and falls in love with him."
"But life and death have been settled, and the bamboo demon has no choice but to do anything. She left behind a piece of her new bamboo shoot, gave it to the man, and made a promise with her. After that, the bamboo demon's spiritual consciousness disappeared from the world, and the man waited for forty years."
"In fact, she did not lie to the man. If she could turn into a demon from a bamboo shoot, she would be able to reunite with the man."
Xiao Zhang looked at Wu Qi blankly: "Honor... it turns out that Ye Lang Nu... is me?"
"It's you, it's you!"
Chongyang echoed on the side: "You have no impression of Yelangnu, but you remember Zhang Shuisheng when there were bamboo shoots. This is a clear proof! The old spirit of the demon body has not dispersed, and the new spirit will not be born! Otherwise, how could you transform into a spirit in forty years? You are the reincarnation of Yelangnu!"
Xiao Zhang was bored for a while before speaking again: "Honor, do you still have to tell Zhang Laoyao about this?"
Wu Qi did not directly answer: "Did Master Zhang not see any clues? It may not be. If you think telling him this will make him feel better, then do it. If you are not sure, then you might as well let it go."
"After all, you want to repay your kindness with Ye Lang Nu's news because of your self-obsession, not Master Zhang's thoughts."
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Zhang Cuo Lao let go of his obsession with a human-faced bamboo and devoted himself to his great love for three hundred kinds of bamboos in the world.
Xiao Zhang pondered for a long time and looked up and said, "All things in the past life have been settled at this point. The little demon is willing to be the Taoist soldier of the Venerable and be the saddle of the Venerable."
The bamboo demon knelt on the ground and wanted to kowtow again.
"Don't kneel." Wu Qi shouted: "The Taoist soldiers also have dignity and demonic character, remember it for me."
"As for the order." Xiao Zhang leaned on a bamboo stick and raised his back.
In the Three Pure Land statues, incense appears.
——Get the demon soldiers, bamboo demon incense, and gain ten years of cultivation.
Among the seventy-two altars, after the Double Ninth Festival of Dogwood, there is a master on the second altar, and the bamboo demon boy stood on it with a stick in one hand.
