Chapter 685: The dead monk Puying and the assassin Puying monk
As dusk falls, the city of Chang'an once again enters a time when humans and ghosts live together. Countless ghosts emerge from the underworld of Chang'an and begin to walk on the streets. Among them are some ghost vendors carrying burdens who are still selling along the streets...
A few years ago, from time to time, some living people would accidentally enter the ghost market, buy some ghost things, or eat some ghost food, which would cause them to have vomiting and diarrhea, fall ill, or even die.
It is also common.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chang'an at that time was the most haunted house in the world, bar none!
However, in the past year or so, under the control of Chang'an Capital Emperor Zhang Daoyuan, the ghosts of Chang'an have become much more restrained. Not to mention that the kind of deliberately seducing living people into the ghost market has basically disappeared, and even the ghosts who accidentally enter the ghost market have disappeared.
Living people in the city will also be taken out by the urban management personnel under the city emperor.
Although the current situation of people and ghosts living together has not fundamentally improved, at least there are many fewer people who have died innocently!
Wei Zheng, who had been demoted to become the Sima of the East Palace, had just been off duty. At this time, he was riding a horse and wandering along the streets of Chang'an towards his home, followed by an entourage.
Wei Zheng, who was resting on his horse and thinking about the affairs of the East Palace, did not notice three men in black clothes and cloaks following dozens of meters behind him. The leader's face was red, but it was very unhealthy.
It seemed as if they were painted with paint, while the two behind them followed suit with blank expressions on their faces, just like two marionettes.
"These damn ghosts don't have to go through the entrance to the underworld when they travel between the yang world and the underworld. This is really annoying!"
The rosy-faced man looked at the ghosts walking around him with a malicious look in his eyes.
"I originally thought that I could find it just by catching a ghost and asking directly, but now I have to work hard and look for it bit by bit, and I was scolded by His Highness the Ghost King because I couldn't find it.
…”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the wall next door.
"Monk Puying, stop!"
The man with a 'rosy' face subconsciously stopped and turned his head to look at the top of the wall. Then he realized that the other person's words were not directed at him, so he looked away.
Wei Zheng, who was riding a horse, seemed to be awakened by the words on the wall. He also turned his head and looked into the wall.
"They're arresting Monk Puying again..."
Wei Zheng shook his head, and then continued to urge his mount forward while sighing.
"Since Monk Puying failed in his attempt to assassinate the King of Qin, he must have escaped from Chang'an long ago! Alas! I don't know which temple or Lan Ruoyao was unlucky this time..."
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, the 'rosy' man behind him twisted his face and had a strange expression on his face.
"Whether 'Monk Pu Ying' has escaped from Chang'an or not, you will know later, Wei Sima!"
…
If Wei Zheng and the rosy-faced man could see the scene inside the square wall at this time, they would find that they were both wrong, because inside the square wall, a privately donated Lan Ruoli was resisting.
The great monk with a glowing face turned out to be the eminent monk Pu Ying of the Chengshi Sect.
"What is your Tiance Mansion going to do?"
Monk Puying held a string of rosary beads in his hand, and his body was full of energy. His cassock was swaying by his side without any wind.
"Didn't the old monk say that he would surrender himself to Chang'an County Government Office or Jingzhao Mansion? Why are you still forcing each other so hard..."
"Old monk, you can surrender if you want!"
A dark-faced general held an iron whip in his hand that looked similar to Kong Qing's magic whip, and smiled ferociously.
"Put down the rosary instrument in your hand and surrender obediently..."
"And it's not like going to Chang'an County or Jingzhao Prefecture!"
Next to the dark-faced general, a certain fat general said.
"If you want to surrender, you have to go to our Tiance Mansion!"
"no!"
Monk Puying shook his head and said firmly.
"The old monk has never committed an assassination, but His Highness the King of Qin has categorically said that the old monk committed an assassination. It can be seen that His Highness the King of Qin's words are very deceitful, and the old monk cannot trust him..."
"Look, isn't this a coincidence! We brothers can't trust you either..."
The fat general smiled baredly at Monk Puying.
"What if you, the monk Puying, talk like a lotus in Chang'an County or Jingzhao Prefecture, confuse right and wrong, call a deer a horse, and refuse to admit the assassination even if you beat him to death?"
After hearing what he said, Monk Puying suddenly looked stunned.
"But the old monk did not commit any assassination..."
"Why bother telling him all this nonsense!"
The dark-faced general jumped out and smashed the iron whip in Monk Puying's head, interrupting Monk Puying's words.
"Since this old guy dares to assassinate the King of Qin, he must come to my Tiance Mansion to put him to death..."
"Namo's master Harivarman!"
Looking at the group of tigers and wolves in Tiance Mansion who had no intention of surrendering to Chang'an County or Jingzhao Mansion in front of them, Monk Puying said a Buddhist chant with a sad face, and then raised his hand to meet the opponent's iron whip.
"At this point, it seems that the old monk can only fight to the death before surrendering!"
The next moment, the iron whip in the hands of the dark-faced general collided with the rosary beads in the hands of monk Pu Ying. As a result, the iron whip, which looked so powerful and heavy, was easily blocked by the light rosary beads in the opponent's hand.
Then Monk Puying took advantage of the situation and took a step forward, punching the opponent in the body.
boom!
After a muffled sound, the dark-faced general's transparent armor and stomach, which was vaguely visible outside, was punched open by the old monk. Then his fist took advantage of the gap and hit the opponent's body.
"This general, the old monk is offended!"
Pass!
The dark-faced general flew out involuntarily and hit the wall behind him with a loud noise.
Then there was a flash of golden light, and the dark-faced general stood up again as if nothing had happened.
"This is divine power..."
After seeing this scene in front of him, Monk Puying suddenly understood.
"It turns out that the reason why the King of Qin framed the old monk was to seize the power of incense and incense that my Buddhist sect had held in Jingzhao for decades, thereby turning you and others into protector gods..."
"Old guy, what on earth are you talking about..."
After hearing what Monk Puying said, the fat general also waved the long sword in his hand and rushed forward with a sinister smile.
"I don't understand you!"
boom!
After the great monk Pu Ying exchanged moves with this fat general, he exclaimed again.
"You are actually a protector god... Two generals, you have all been deceived. A protector god without authority is not loved by heaven and earth and cannot appear in the world casually. And after you become a god, if you still retain your official position, you will
You will be corroded by the dragon energy and die. King Qin is harming you!"
"After becoming a god, you can't appear in the human world casually?"
"Someone will be corroded by dragon energy and die?"
The two generals, who were dark-skinned and slightly chubby, looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Hahaha...it's so funny!"
"Okay, you two don't want to play anymore..."
A strong man with a sallow complexion riding on a yellow gelding said calmly to the side.
"Hurry up and use the secret skills of military strategists to deal with him quickly to avoid causing complications!"
"Hehehe... I just want to test my current strength."
After hearing what the strong man said, the two generals looked at each other again, and then waved their hands at the same time.
"Gathering the power of the masses, we can defeat thousands of people!"
Then, Monk Puying saw the momentum of the two generals in front of him begin to roll up and down. Within a few seconds, their momentum surpassed his own.
"Namo's master Harivarman!"
After seeing this scene, Monk Puying lowered his head and recited a Buddha's name, then grabbed his rosary beads, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
"go!"
Following the words, Monk Puying had already thrown out the rosary beads in his hand. The rosary beads shimmering with golden light were carried by the strong wind, like golden wheels, and rolled over towards the two generals opposite him.
.
"Well done!"
The two generals shouted loudly, raised their swords and iron whips at the same time, and cracked the rosary beads.
'Those who are good at attacking will move above the nine heavens!'
Following the words, a shadow of an iron whip and a sword appeared vaguely in the air, striking the golden rosary one after another.
At this time, Monk Puying raised his hand, with his index and middle fingers pointing in the direction of the rosary beads.
"burst!"
When he saw Monk Puying's action, the big man with a pale face quickly raised the horse in his hand.
"Moveless as a mountain!"
boom!
A golden flash of light appeared from the center of the rosary, followed by a deafening explosion. The smoke and dust on the surrounding ground were swept up in the explosion, forming a line of earthy yellow smoke that was more than ten meters high.
The next moment, the shock wave was vented wantonly from the middle of the smoke to the surroundings.
boom!
Two figures with faint golden light on their bodies rolled and flew out in the direction of the shock wave, hitting the wall with a bang, causing a large piece of the wall to collapse.
"Hahaha……"
The voice of a door god came from the collapsed wall.
"This way, everyone will be unscathed. Who can be my opponent on the battlefield in the future?"
"Want to run?"
Just as the door god laughed, the other door god sitting on the horse rolled his eyes slightly and waved the horse in his hand without hesitation.
"Wu Qu Xing Yao, kill!"
Following his words, a beam of starlight flew out from the front of his horse, seemingly slowly but accurately, and accurately hit an old monk who was taking advantage of the shock wave to jump out and plan to leave.
The starlight was like a destructive force, directly defeating the opponent's protective energy and piercing through his body.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out from the old monk's mouth, and then his body fell weakly from the air and fell to the ground with a thud.
The next moment, Kong Qing, who was watching the battle through a private satellite system in the projection hall of Yunzhong City, felt the list of gods floating beside him vibrate slightly.
"It turns out that the qualifications of the great monk Puying are also up to standard!"
…
Just when the great monk Puying of the Chengshi Sect returned to the list of gods, in another neighborhood not far from here, another 'Monk Puying' appeared in front of Wei Zheng, Sima of the East Palace!
"Wei Zheng, Sima of the East Palace..."
There were two bald monks with dull faces standing behind this 'Monk Puying', who had a strange expression and said in a low tone.
"You disrespect the Three Jewels and confuse the prince. Today, I, Master Puying, have come specially to send you to the Western Paradise of Paradise!"

In fact, the concept of the magical moment in Japanese legends is not unique to Japan, but is a folk custom that Japan took away from our country during the Tang Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, because the belief in King Yama, introduced from Indian Buddhism, had not yet become popular in our country, there were divergent opinions on where to go after death, and no unified statement was formed. Among them, popular
The one with a relatively high rate is that Dongyue God is responsible for the underworld. But even Dongyue God does not have a complete set of control measures for the underworld.
Therefore, many people in the Tang Dynasty believed that tombs were ghost houses. After people died, they lived in tombs and lived as they were alive, under the jurisdiction of nearby ghost kings or gods. At the turn of dawn and dusk, these ghosts could live in the human world.
Showing up, this is the concept of the so-called demonic moment.
Later, with the formation of Taoism and the spread of the influence of Buddhism, we formed the underworld and the concept of reincarnation. After that, the tomb changed from an actual residential attribute to a symbolic sustenance attribute.
In other words, the previous tombs were houses, the luxurious ones were mansions, and the ordinary ones were private houses. Ghosts really wanted to live there. If the tombs were not well built, ghosts would not be comfortable living there.
After the ghosts later moved to the underworld, the graves became a place to mourn and communicate with the deceased.
Since all the ghosts have gone to the underworld, except for some fugitive ghosts, no ghosts can come to the upper world to harm people, so the concept of the devil's moment has gradually disappeared from China. In Japan, because of its unique "god system", this
The saying of this magical moment has been passed down.
