When I was reciting the "Tai Shang Mantra" in Maoshan, the world suddenly became filled with dark winds and became ghostly, as if there were shadows of remnant souls hidden all around.
The altar built by Maoshan is the Yin-Yang altar.
At this time, there is an unnamed tablet placed on the Yin altar, offering flowers and fruits, three teas and four wines, three meats and four vegetables, as well as fragrant candles, rice and steamed buns, etc.
Next to the altar.
Mao Xiang burned the paper money silently, curiously looking at the hidden shadows from time to time.
As Maoshan recited the mantra, more and more shadows gathered from all around. At a glance, they were densely packed, numbering at least in the hundreds.
These vague shadows are all ghosts.
Some ghosts were intact, while most had their hands and feet cut off, or even lost most of their souls, leaving only a head.
numbness!
Confused!
Lifeless.
Like a zombie.
This is the portrayal of the ghost.
In the blink of an eye, Maoshan finished reciting the "Tai Shang Mantra", and then recited it again, twice, three times, or even several times. His voice seemed to be magical, not only attracting the dead souls in the village, but also
Wandering spirits from outside were also attracted.
The number of dead souls seems to exceed the number of people in the village.
But at this moment, Mao Shan's brows frowned tightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He opened the altar and attracted the souls of the dead from several miles around, or even dozens of miles around.
But he was unable to transcend the souls of the dead.
How is this going?
Mao Shan was very puzzled. Did he make a mistake in some aspect?
He thought about it carefully and found that the steps of salvation were not wrong. Although it was the first time for him to open an altar to save the souls of the dead. But what he learned in the magical dream made him extremely skilled, as if he had done it thousands of times.
There is absolutely no way anything could go wrong.
As time goes by, the soul of the dead seems to be gradually becoming restless because of its inability to transcend the afterlife.
Moreover, he is becoming more and more restless.
"ah--"
The dead souls screamed, struggled, and devoured each other.
At this time, the dead soul gradually showed its ferocious side, and even rushed towards Maoxiang.
"Brother, these dead souls?"
Mao Xiang retreated hurriedly, retreated behind Yangtan Maoshan, and asked puzzledly: "Why did you become so cruel?"
"fine."
Mao Shan signaled, then sat down and thought for a while, then quickly recited the "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Miao Sutra for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin".
The dead soul gradually calmed down and seemed to be appeased.
However, if one does not achieve transcendence and is reborn, he will definitely become restless again and even become more and more cruel.
Even turned into a fierce ghost.
Soon after, Mao Shan recited the "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Miao Sutra for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin" three times, but the soul of the deceased still was not saved.
This made his face change slightly and he said, "What's going on?"
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Mao Xiang asked worriedly.
"The dead soul cannot be transcended."
Mao Shan's face was solemn, this couldn't be his fault.
So, what is the reason why the soul of the deceased cannot transcend to the next life?
Mao Shan quickly calmed down and thought carefully about whether he had gone wrong. However, he did not find out what he had gone wrong, so it was not his fault.
This shouldn't be the case.
Mao Shan frowned and was puzzled.
And the way he opened the altar to save the dead souls was equivalent to giving the dead souls hope, so the dead souls returned and obeyed Maoshan's orders. However, after the dead souls returned, they found that they could not pass away, let alone be saved, and they must have thought that they had been cheated.
Fooled.
Therefore, the soul of the dead will bite back and even devour the person doing it crazily.
At this time, the soul of the dead became agitated again, even more intensely than before. Even if Maoshan recited the "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Miao Sutra for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sin", it would be difficult to calm the soul of the dead.
Even if it can be soothed, it will become agitated again as soon as it stops.
And he couldn't keep reading.
But after a while, the dead soul was not only restless, but also became violent and ferocious.
"Brother, why are these dead souls so ungrateful?"
Mao Xiang said a little annoyed.
At this time, the dead souls rushed towards the two of them crazily, their eyes filled with resentment, as if they wanted to devour them.
"Can't be called ungrateful."
Mao Shan pondered for a moment and said.
"Brother, how about destroying them? Anyway, they are all residual souls..."
Mao Xiang hesitated and suggested.
"No!"
Mao Shan immediately refused and said: "Although I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, let alone destroy the souls of the dead at will, unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Well……"
Mao Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "What should we do?"
"It can only be kept temporarily."
Maoshan Road.
At this time he faintly discovered.
It seems that it's not that he can't save the souls of the dead, but that there is no way for the souls to die in the underworld. Therefore, he can't save the souls of the dead and let them die.
There is no way to hell——
Maoshan is basically determined.
There is no underworld in this world, so how can we reincarnate and be reborn?
At this time, even Maoshan became confused. Can his own path still work?
"Brother!"
When Mao Xiang saw Mao Shan lost his mind, he quickly woke him up and said: "The dead souls are coming to kill him."
At this time, the dead souls finally lost all their patience and began to attack Maoshan crazily. Each one of them had blood-red eyes, resentment, and fought without any sense.
They don't care about their own lives at all.
Extremely crazy.
"Brother, what should I do?" Mao Xiang was a little anxious.
"Don't be anxious, brother has a way to deal with it." Mao Shan looked at the remnant souls that were madly counterattacking, sighed, and scattered the tea, wine and rice on the underworld altar around for the souls to eat.
The dead souls swarmed up and frantically competed for food and offerings.
Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, there are not many offerings. What should I do if the dead souls have finished eating?"
"Where are Maoxiang, Baisu and Huangzhen?"
Mao Shan asked.
"Over there."
Mao Xiang pointed to the things for the pulpit that were originally prepared.
"Cut each piece twenty-two feet long, and sew the white material into the yellow silk ribbon. Quickly." Mao Shan said quickly. He walked down from the balcony, took out the cinnabar and orpiment, and grinded them together.
Maoxiang quickly cut it up and sewed the white material into the yellow silk thread.
"Brother, it's done."
After Maoxiang was done, he asked: "What is this for?"
"Hui Yao Ling Banner."
Mao Shan came to Bai Su with cinnabar and orpiment ink.
"What is the Hui Yao Ling Banner?"
Mao Xiang asked curiously.
"The Soul-Calling Flag."
After Mao Shan concentrated for a moment, he picked up his pen and started writing in front of the flag.
On the lower left side of the flag, there is the inscription "Taiweihuihuangqi, Wuyingminglinglingbanner". On the lower right side, the inscription "Photographing the Changye Mansion, opening the door to the rebirth of the soul".
On the upper left, there is the inscription "City God's Mansion in the Vast City";
On the upper right, there is the book "Golden Light of Merit".
The two characters "Huiyao" are written on the banner body.
"pole!"
Mao Shan said immediately after writing.
Maoxiang immediately handed over a long bamboo pole.
At this time, the souls of the dead had already devoured all the offerings and were rushing towards the two of them again. Maoshan quickly hung the Hui Yaoling flag on a long pole and inserted it under the Yin altar, letting the wind blow.
The twenty-two-foot blazing banner flutters in the wind.
The sound of hunting.
"When the ghosts from the ten directions see this spiritual flag and take refuge in it with a single thought, the long-standing sins and obstacles will be eliminated in due time, and even the major sins of worldly labor will be eradicated. They will be reborn in the Nangong, hell will be prosperous, and dead souls will be reborn."
Mao Shan shouted.
When the Hui Yao Ling Flag flutters, it produces a mysterious sound, which seems to be calling someone's soul.
The dead souls that had become extremely ferocious at this time seemed to be soothed by a mysterious force, and they actually walked back to the Yaoling Banner one by one.
