【Those who seek immortality should serve the ghosts in heaven.】
[In ancient times, people sacrificed to heaven and ghosts and gods in the hope of immortality. The objects of sacrifice were not gods but ghosts. When Taoism originated, sacrifices were also made to gods and ghosts. At that time, the art of three days had not yet emerged, and the energy of six heavens had not dispersed.
Besides Qi, there are nine Qi. The world is chaotic and full of beliefs.]
[If you want to invite ghosts and gods, you must cater to the will of the "ghosts" and satisfy the needs of these "ghosts" through "human affairs" in the human world. The ghosts are the concrete embodiment of the will of God and the will of all people, and are the mutual exchange between humans and heaven.
The existences that echo and summon appear played the role of "immortals" and "gods" in the world today in ancient times.】
[The names of the heavenly ghosts represent the ritual of summoning them. After the rise of the three-day art, the heavenly ghosts disappeared and no longer existed. They were only used in the classics as the gods and ghost officials of the Five Mountains. ]
Tiangui is a kind of sacrifice that was relatively prosperous during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was still relatively prosperous in the Han Dynasty. The theory of ghosts and gods has been around since ancient times. At that time, the boundaries between gods and ghosts were not clear.
"It turns out that they were sacrificed to the heavenly ghosts before Taoism took shape. So, the ceremony to sacrifice them, and even to control them, should be the Qingqiang sacrifice!"
"Now someone has opened the residence of the Heavenly Ghost, which means starting the Qingqiang Sacrifice, but there is no one to carry out the Qingqiang Sacrifice, so the Heavenly Ghost without control has started wreaking havoc everywhere. Is that so?"
"Use Sanguan Dadi to suppress. Indeed, in the origin of Taoism, Sanguan Dadi is the worship of the three elements of heaven, earth and water. It is also the original god that transformed from witches and ghosts into righteous gods. It is between ghosts and gods, and it is between ghosts and gods.
In the subsequent continuous sacrifices, he was promoted to a personified Taoist emperor, and then took on the identity of the three kings of Yao, Shun and Yu."
Ji Xiang recalled Emperor Yuan’s warning.
The sacrifice of Qingqiang has begun, and the ancient evil god is about to appear. It will devour all souls and grow, which is closely related to the origin of Taoism. However, Yuqing monks cannot touch it, and clearly stated that it is something.
The ghosts of the Six Heavens were also made up by him, and Confucian magical powers cannot be used here. Stop when you see something is wrong, Leishan is a minor fault, and you can only do one small thing.
What the Demonic Heavenly Master wanted to find himself was Zhang Xiu’s Qingcheng Spiritual Book.
Ji Xiang frowned.
Getting rid of these ghosts is one thing, and getting the spiritual book is also another thing. And if we distinguish big things from small things based on the noises made, it is obvious that taking the book is the smaller thing and getting rid of the ghosts is the bigger thing. In other words, you have to
Seeing how ghosts are raging these days, we cannot eliminate them. Is this what Emperor Yuan means?
"There must be a way to achieve both ends."
Of course, it is not possible to let these heavenly ghosts run around. As long as one escapes, it will cause great chaos. Even ancient immortals such as Donghua Fairy cannot withstand the confusing power of heavenly ghosts. Aren’t all the monks outside who are not immortals?
Are they eaten randomly by him like leeks?
Besides, ghosts aren't the most important thing these days.
"Wear green clothes."
Ji Xiang had a thought in his mind and put on his green robe. Fairy Donghua also used the art of transformation to put on her green robe. She recited the Thunder Sound Mantra and escaped into the gray mist.
As Lei Yin opened the way, he could feel that there were many peeping eyes around him, coming from very far away, but seeming to be around him at any time, containing deep malice. At the same time, the blank divine cards were constantly manifesting the ghosts of these gods.
There are three Heavenly Ghosts closest to the two of them, but due to the roar of thunder, they only just watch the actions of the two of them. Qingyi and Leiyin, this is the ancient Qiang people's method of controlling Heavenly Ghosts.
The deeper you go, the more blurry the scenery of the world becomes. You can only see the outlines of things in the back and even close at hand. This is no longer the influence of the fog, but the world has been changed by the ghosts and has become their sacrificial site.
.
"If you don't find that stone tablet, you can't stop the Qingqiang sacrifice. However, the beginning of the stone tablet sacrifice should be someone's deliberate move. I once saw a strong Tianxin man with a golden halo all over his body in my future vision.
, he blocked my peek into the future, and the demon master also mentioned the existence of this person, and he was filled with awe-inspiring aura."
"The Tianxin strongman of Confucianism? But ask Emperor Yuan, didn't he say that the things here are related to the origin of Taoism?" Donghua Fairy's face is still pale, and there is no way to quickly recover her energy in this sacrificial site.
"." Ji Xiang did not respond, but had a guess in his mind.
Emperor Yuan once talked about the Six Heavenly Ghosts, saying that they were just figments of that evil creature, but the Six Heavenly Ghosts were ghosts and gods derived from the Six Heavenly God of Confucianism. Since they were derived, they must have their source.
【Reborn.】
"What? What do you mean?"
Ji Xiang was immediately startled, because at this moment, the blank divine card suddenly projected four words in his eyes. The activity level of this thing has indeed increased, but this sudden four-word prompt still made Ji Xiang confused at this time.
However, a strange feeling began to grow in my heart.
Reborn.
Replacement of bones.
Taoism means to take off the mortal body and transform into the holy body.
When it comes to rebirth, the body shines like the sun shining through a bright window reflecting dust.
Combined with the situation at this time and the speculation in my mind.
"Could it be said that the evil thing was not originally a Taoist thing, but a Confucian thing? In the early days when Taoism had not yet become a religion, a certain great monk used the influence of this evil thing to accidentally achieve a state of rebirth and was able to open up a new path.
This person is."
"Zhang Daoling?"
After all, the founder of Taoism is Zhang Daoling, the head of the heavenly masters. But before he formally established the religion, there were other people in the world who inherited the Taoist ideas of the pre-Qin Dynasty and opened up paths for practice, such as Sakyamou.
Before Ni became a Buddha, there were ascetics in the world.
There are always similar people who open up similar paths. Moreover, the art of three days also began to rise from the ancestors of the heavenly masters, and the heavenly ghosts also declined at this time.
Zhuangzi School, Huang-Lao Taoist School, and the Immortal School.
"But Monk Yuqing is a unique name for the monks under Yuanshi Tianzun. If this evil thing is from ancient Confucianism, why is it related to Monk Yuqing?"
Ji Xiang kept thinking, and suddenly the voice of Fairy Donghua came:
"Look here! Everything in the heaven and earth here has been plundered by the ghosts. No matter whether it is living or dead things, mountains, rivers, trees and grass, the essence of the sun and moon, and all living things, only the outlines are left."
“It’s not that we can’t see clearly, it’s that this place is no longer the human world!”
Donghua's shout pulled Ji Xiang back from his thoughts, and he stretched out his hand towards a stone in front of him. Although he touched the shape, he couldn't see its specific shape, and it didn't have any mass at all. It was like holding a ball of cloud.
"Woo-"
The voices of the heavenly ghosts began to approach, and the sound of thunder lingering around seemed to gradually weaken with the changes in the world.
"Although the ancient laws are strong, don't look down on the laws of this world. The laws are progressing and the years are changing."
Ji Xiang frowned, and the demonic energy in his body began to surge. In this sacrificial world, the Heavenly Killing Dao was circulating. The sounds of the surrounding Heavenly Ghosts were frightened and quickly retreated.
In later generations, the battle between heaven and demon ended with the demon being slightly superior.
But there is a limit to this. There are so many heavenly ghosts that Ji Xiang cannot invite more demon kings to deal with them. If one demon fights a group of ghosts, it will inevitably fail.
"How can we find the spiritual book like this? There is no trace of the imperial army, but those people should be dead."
"By the way, what about the rebel leader in Bozhou? He opened the Qingqiang Sacrifice. He should have been devoured by the ghosts?"
Fairy Donghua asked casually.
"Yang Yinglong"
Ji Xiang spoke, but when these three words were spoken, the surrounding ghosts began to become restless.
"Woooo, hahaha."
Weird cries and laughter, only the outlines of the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth remained, the vague faces of those ghosts appeared, surrounding the two people and began to rise and fall, accompanied by black hands and feet, it was like some kind of terrifying mural came to life, and gradually
Yes, after a while, Ji Xiang could see that they seemed to be performing some kind of ceremony.
"not good!"
A crisis arose in my heart, but at this time.
Boom--boom--boom--
Huge footsteps appeared in the distance, accompanied by a lot of frightened roars!
"Someone is calling that name again, it, it's here again!"
"Are they reinforcements sent by the imperial court? We are not here right, run away!"
Some flags soon appeared in Ji Xiang's field of vision, and accompanied by a large number of grass-headed gods and monsters, they were running away in panic. When they saw Ji Xiang, they immediately looked like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw, and shouted for help:
"It's the Taoist master! Taoist master, help me!"
Ji Xiang hurriedly ran forward, grabbed a grass-headed god and asked: "You have been trapped here for more than a month? Where is Yang Yinglong?"
The grass-headed god was extremely frightened and just pointed behind him: "Here he comes! He is here!"
"The dead people are hanging in the sky. This is no longer the human world. We saw that monument. It is not the ghost-faced monument that the court said."
"Isn't it a ghost-faced monument?" Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, and Caotou Shen panicked: "We didn't touch that monument, it's in front of Wawu Mountain! But, the guy is still dead, we caught him in the first place!
"
Ji Xiang's heart suddenly became excited.
It’s not the Ghost Face Monument. Yang Yinglong didn’t inaugurate the Qingqiang Sacrifice, but he still died. It must have been the Ghost Face Monument inaugurated by the Confucian Tianxin strongman!
However, I had previously guessed that he needed someone else's help, and he couldn't take action on things here. What's going on?
Is there anyone else here?!
What you see in the future is different. However, if the future is unchangeable, and this change occurs now, there is only one possibility.
The future we saw at that time was simply wrong!
It was not the Ghost Face Monument opened by Yang Yinglong in the first place!
"I saw the future wrong! I was deceived!?"
Just when Ji Xiang was surprised.
An extremely huge black figure appeared in the world of mountains and rivers with only its outline remaining. He stood in the sky above his head and had his feet on the earth. His face was blurred, except for a pair of huge eyes with a white halo that were particularly clear.
With its appearance, the sky also glowed with a little light, but there were no clouds or fog, and the sky was empty. Some light appeared, and then floating, hanging from the empty sky, swaying like willow branches, densely packed.
The objects were all hanged corpses.
Text also appeared on the blank divine tablet.
[The first sacrifice of Qingqiang is to worship heaven.]
[Ghosts high in the sky: the emperor in the middle, the lord of all ghosts in the six directions and in the world! He was once chased by Nu Qing! 】
