Chapter 213: Kill evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits
At the gate of Datong County, Wang Chen got off the big green donkey.
Seeing Wang Chen's attire, the soldiers guarding the city gate not only refused to collect the city fee, but also saluted him.
Daqian is under the jurisdiction of the Yunyang Sect, which has always respected Taoist sects since the founding of the country. Therefore, Wang Chen, a young Taoist with an ordinary appearance, has also benefited from it, and his treatment is completely different from that of ordinary people.
In fact, even if he rode a big green donkey directly into the city, no one would stop him.
But Wang Chen obeyed the rules and led the donkey along the street towards the city.
Datong County is not much different from the counties he visited before, such as Teide and Sanhe.
Narrow roads, low houses, messy shops, many pedestrians coming and going on the street, including civilians, coolies, merchants, warriors, beggars...
It's quite lively and bustling.
Most of them had a respectful attitude towards Wang Chen, a Taoist, and would immediately get out of the way if they bumped into him.
Dang~
Suddenly a gong rang, and a sharp sound reached everyone's ears.
"The world will be in chaos, Maitreya Buddha will be reborn!"
Hearing this voice, many people's expressions changed, showing expressions of awe.
Someone whispered: "Maitreya Cult."
Dang! Dang! Dang~
The gong sounded louder and louder, and a long procession came.
I saw four tough shirtless men leading the way. They wore yellow scarves on their heads and red belts around their waists. Two of them held gongs, and two of them held high flags.
The two large black characters "Maitreya" are embroidered on the yellow background flag.
Ten boys and girls, smeared with makeup and white lotus root short coats, followed closely behind, followed by a cloud chariot carrying a red lotus Buddha seat carried by eight big men.
The Buddha's seat is covered with gauze, and a slim and graceful figure sitting upright is faintly visible inside.
Behind Yun Nian followed a group of women carrying flower baskets. They were smiling and distributing fruits and pastries to passers-by.
"Believe in Maitreya and have peace!"
Those who received the cakes all knelt down in fear and murmured: "Holy Maid has mercy, Maitreya bless!"
At the beginning, there were only a few people chanting, but soon it became a loud noise.
The entire long street was packed with devout believers kneeling on both sides!
In such an almost fanatical atmosphere, even people with a strong will can be infected unknowingly.
Wang Chen watched with cold eyes and took the big green donkey to the side.
He was quite surprised.
When the world is in chaos and Maitreya Buddha is reborn, some people openly shout such slogans.
And looking at their posture, it was clear that this was not just once or twice.
The local government turned a blind eye?
Wang Chen knew nothing about the "Maitreya Religion", but Daqian, who had always respected the Taoist sect, had such a heresy. Listening to the other party's deceptive slogans, he felt that the world was really heading for chaos!
When the Red Lotus Buddha Seat passed by, he noticed a scrutinizing gaze falling on him.
He immediately took it back.
The Maitreya Cult team passed by beating gongs and drums all the way quickly, and the street returned to its previous appearance.
Wang Chen's eyes flashed, he picked up the big green donkey and continued to move forward.
He stopped a passerby and asked, "How can I get to the stage in the south of the city?"
As a result, the other party looked horrified: "No, I don't know!"
Wang Chen asked several people in succession, but all of them said they were unclear and had never heard of it.
Their eyes flickered and they spoke insincerely, as if they had encountered the god of plague.
Wang Chen’s identity as a Taoist doesn’t matter anymore!
In desperation, Wang Chen had no choice but to find a little beggar sitting on the roadside and threw him a piece of silver: "Take me to the south stage of the city. This piece of silver will be yours."
"okay!"
The little beggar grabbed the silver coin, put it to his mouth and took a bite. Then he smiled brightly and said, "Follow me."
Under the leadership of this little beggar, Wang Chen followed him through the streets and alleys.
We arrived in front of a market.
"You can see the stage if you go straight down this road."
The little beggar stopped here and asked in a low voice: "Taoist Master, are you going there to deal with evil spirits?"
"Um?"
Wang Chen was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"I've seen Taoist priests like you before..."
The little beggar shrank his head and said, "I haven't come back since I went there. We don't even dare to get close."
"Then do me another favor."
Wang Chen smiled and handed the reins in his hand to the other party: "Watch it carefully. If I can't come back, then this big green donkey will be given to you."
The little beggar took the reins in a daze, and looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes at the green donkey.
The big green donkey sneezed disdainfully: "Ah poof!"
When the little beggar wiped the saliva from his face, Wang Chen's figure had disappeared.
He shuddered subconsciously, quickly took the big green donkey aside, squatted on the ground and began to wait.
And Wang Chen "shrunk into an inch" three times in a row, and he could already see the big stage in front of him.
The stage is located in the middle of the city. Most of the surrounding houses and buildings have collapsed, and there is no trace of human habitation.
It is in sharp contrast to the bustling scene on the street before.
Wang Chen walked to the front of the stage step by step.
According to the information from the Exorcism Hall, this place was very lively half a year ago, but since an actor accidentally fell off the stage and died tragically, strange phenomena began to appear.
In the middle of the night, there would be people singing operas on the stage from time to time, and they would be so captivating.
The surrounding residents fled in fear, and those who wanted to uncover the secrets often disappeared.
The Cuckoo Hall also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found.
It is speculated that evil spirits are causing trouble.
The county government once wanted to demolish the stage, but no one dared to take the job.
As long as the common people in the city do not enter within a hundred steps of the stage, nothing will happen.
Over time, everyone has acquiesced in its existence.
Usually stay away from it.
Wang Chen stopped and blessed himself with the spiritual eye technique.
His spiritual eye skills have long been cultivated to the level of Dzogchen, and he can break through illusions, directly observe evil spirits, and then determine the existence of evil spirits!
At this time, in Wang Chen's eyes, the stage in front of him was shrouded in a thick layer of evil.
It's like a dormant beast that will wake up at any time!
Wang Chen thought for a while and took out the brocade futon, rosewood and eucalyptus table, Ningshen incense burner, red clay tea burner... from the storage bag.
Sit quietly, burn incense and make tea, waiting for the show to begin!
This is the last stop of the tour. After returning home, he will retreat to the ninth level of Qi training.
So Wang Chen is very patient.
As the sky gradually darkened, silhouettes of people suddenly appeared near the stage.
Many ordinary people, traders and lackeys gathered around, adults asked children to dance, and the originally empty and desolate market suddenly became noisy and noisy.
They sat down around Wang Chen, holding cattail fans and cracking melon seeds, chatting and laughing lively.
With the sound of gongs and drums, and the accompaniment of the harps, strings and bangs, Shengdan Jingmo Chou appeared on the stage one after another, singing a tune that Wang Chen could not understand.
But this story about an obsessed man and a resentful woman can be seen clearly.
Wang Chen held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand until the song ended and everyone dispersed.
I already understand the story in this play.
People on the stage sang a sad farewell song, but people in the audience couldn't see the old color as they walked by.
A faint voice came into his ears: "May I ask, Master, why are you here?"
Wang Chen smiled.
But there was no smile in his eyes.
"Kill evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits!"——
The second update is sent.
