The green fragrance lingers in the Patriarch's Hall.
The statue of Tianshi Jingyang sits at the top, holding a fluorene board in his hand, with gods accompanying him.
Under Xu Tianshi,
They are three women wearing silk and satin and gold crowns. When they were alive, these three women were known as "Chen Jinggu", "Li Sanniang" and "Lin Jiuniang". Folks in Fujian often called them "grandma", so they were together.
Called the third wife.
Below the three ‘Dharma Gods on the Altar’,
They are the statues of a group of gods under "Chen Jinggu", namely the two eunuchs Wang Yang, Grandma Tiger, Grandma White Chicken, Marshal Deng Gao, the Great Sage Danxia, etc.
Master Chilong left the "Seven Sons of Lushan" behind. Old Taoist Yuanqing and his wife were waiting outside the hall and led Su Wu into the Patriarch's Hall.
Yuan Kong was accompanied by several golden-robed masters, and followed Chilong Zhenren's master and apprentice into the main hall.
And after this group of people,
Ding Ling also followed into the palace.
Seeing the thin woman walking calmly into the Patriarch's Hall, Yuan Kong frowned, but after all, he never scolded the Cauldron Spirit out loud. He didn't know whether it was because Chilong's real master and apprentice were present, so he couldn't scold the Cauldron Spirit, or there was something wrong with him.
other reasons.
Chilong Zhenren's eyes swept from top to bottom over the 'ancestors' enshrined in the hall. His face softened slightly, and he invited a few sticks of incense from the Taoist priests who were in charge of sweeping in the hall, and enshrined them in front of the statues of the ancestors.
Su Wu followed him and offered incense to the ancestors.
At this time, the real Chilong glanced at the various furnishings, statues, and tablets in the hall, but did not see the incense offerings of the so-called "Five Links God". He frowned, raised his eyes and looked behind the right side of the statues.
It was dimly lit and there was a small door at the end.
The candlelight flickered inside the door, as if there were other gods enshrined there.
Before Chilong Zhenren could speak, Yuankong spoke first: "Senior Chilong, the Five-Tong God is enshrined in the small door behind the ancestors. There is a small room specially set up with a shrine to enshrine the Five-Tong God.
God’s idol, God’s throne.”
"Is this what Yaoyangzi did when he was still alive?
Are you going to enshrine in the Patriarch's Hall a heretic deity who was recently introduced into the altar?" Chilong Zhenren asked with a frown.
Yuan Kong shook his head and was about to speak.
After Su Wu, the 'cauldron spirit' who quietly offered incense to the ancestors bowed devoutly in front of the gods, spoke softly, intercepted Yuan Kong's words, and said: "It wasn't when Yaoyangzi was alive.
Invited Wutong God into the Patriarch's Hall.
This is what the previous generation of altar masters did.
He welcomed the Wutong God from the outer hall into the main hall. At that time, someone warned him that heretic gods could not enjoy incense in the Patriarch Hall. He did not listen to the warning, but he did not dare to act pretentious in the Patriarch's statue.
Then he opened a small room behind the statues of the ancestors.
It is specially used to worship the Wutong God."
Cauldron Ling spoke, causing Yuan Kong, who was preparing to respond to Chilong Zhenren, to look sulky.
Chilong Zhenren glanced at the cauldron spirit and asked Yuan Kong: "Is what this girl said true?"
"Yes." Faced with the inquiry from Master Chilong, Yuankong naturally did not dare to lie or talk nonsense, and replied with some embarrassment, "The previous generation of altar leader Grand Master was my master, and he told me about this - will
The Wutong God welcomes him into the Patriarch's Hall, which is also the last words of the Patriarch 'Yao Yangzi' before his death.
As a disciple, he will naturally try his best to fulfill his master's last wish."
"What kind of inseparable relationship does this 'Yao Yangzi' have with an evil priest?" Master Chilong said angrily. Yuan Kong couldn't answer the question, so he laughed awkwardly at the side.
Su Wu, who was beside the bearded Taoist, looked at Ding Ling and asked: "Why are you so aware of this matter?
Could it be that you worshiped at the altar of Tianwei at that time?"
Yuan Kong was about to speak but stopped, looking increasingly embarrassed.
Ding Ling shook his head and said calmly: "I had never worshiped under the Tianwei Taoist altar at that time, but I grew up in this Tianwei Taoist temple since I was a child. The great master who urged the previous generation of altar masters not to use the five The Taoist who brought me into the Patriarch's Hall through the power of spirits was named 'Master White Crane'. I received his favor and was raised by him until I was thirteen years old."
"Why did he only raise him until he was thirteen years old? Did something unexpected happen after that?" Su Wu still felt the slightest emotion in Ding Ling's calm tone, so he asked again.
The thin female master looked up at him, with a sad look in her eyes: "When I was thirteen years old, Master Baihe failed to persuade the previous master to be 'Tian Chengzi'. Instead, he became increasingly disliked by Tian Chengzi, and finally I found an excuse to break up his talisman body and killed him for the crime of 'disobedience and disloyalty'."
When Yuan Kong heard what Cauldron Ling said, his face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "What do you mean you found an excuse? Originally, Master Bai He was the one who had access to the outside world, and he was broken into Xingzang by my master several times!
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he wanted to punish Master Baihe!
The charges and evidence at that time, the letters exchanged with the heretic Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple, and the correspondence talismans that will not be burned in the future are all still sealed in the Taoist temple. What can you use to distinguish this matter?!
This Tianwei Taoist altar is such a huge foundation, and it was also left behind by your ancestors!
Ding Ling, you have to be careful what you say——"
The last few words Yuan Kong said were meaningless, but they also contained threats and meant something.
The female master lowered her eyes and did not argue with Yuan Kong anymore.
However, Chilong Zhenren’s master and disciple vaguely guessed some clues.
Su Wu and Chilong Zhenren looked at each other and asked Xiang Dingling: "If you are not a member of Tianwei Taoist Temple, how could you grow up in this Taoist temple since childhood?"
Ding Ling remained silent.
No longer respond to Su Wu’s questions.
Yuan Kong's last few words really had an effect, making the female master feel scrupulous and not dare to say anything more in front of Chilong's real master and disciple.
"Let's go!
Look at the five-tong god there, what a trick it is!"
Master Chilong no longer lingered here, and took the lead to walk towards the inner room of the temple where the candlelight was flickering.
Yuan Kong led several golden-robed masters and quickly followed him.
Although the inner room is a separate small room separated from the space of the 'ancestral hall', this small room is actually not too narrow, and it is not a problem for three or five people to enter the room at the same time.
On the wall facing the door of the room, there is a shrine about half a person high.
in the shrine,
Five big snakes were entangled in it. The five snake heads opened their bloody mouths one after another, and the Yunji talismans were marked out with gold paint in their mouths. Those talismans had no actual meaning and acted as 'doors'.
Under the clay statue of the ‘Five-Tong God’,
There is also a longevity tablet listed.
On the tablet were written the words "The spiritual tablet of the seventh generation master of the Tianwei Taoist altar, Jinghong", in large golden letters!
"Is this 'Jinghong' your master Yaoyangzi?" Chilong Zhenren turned to look at Yuan Kong and sneered, "He is not in the grand main hall of the ancestors outside, with other generations of altar masters. Like a great master, share the prosperity of the world.
Why are you hiding in a corner with a heretic and evil priest?!"
Yuan Kong and all the golden-robed masters behind him all looked embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to what Master Chilong said.
Master Chilong glanced at the objects on the shrine, but did not find the slightest clue of the 'Wutong God's true body'. He frowned and said in a deep voice again: "The Wutong God feeds on human sacrifices.
He has not shed his true nature, he is still offering evil sacrifices in the temple of obscenity, and he is one of the ghosts from the Six Heavens!
Yaoyangzi devoted himself to transferring evil worshipers into the Taoist altar, and was deceived by the evil worshipers. He should no longer be worthy of enjoying the incense of Taoism!
They need to be moved out of the Patriarch's Hall immediately, and this clay body and shrine must be burned to ashes, and no worship of the two can be preserved anywhere in the Taoist temple!"
"This, how can this be possible?!"
"Master Jinghong has made great efforts for the Tianwei Taoist temple and turned the tide from collapse. If he hadn't carried up the Tianwei Taoist temple that was about to collapse with all his strength, our altar would have been destroyed long ago!"
"It's okay to remove the Wutong God from the Patriarch's Palace and abandon the evil sacrifices! It's absolutely not okay to abandon Master Jinghong!"
What Chilong Zhenren said immediately aroused the excitement among the golden-robed masters behind Yuan Kong, and they all expressed their resistance.
but,
Without waiting for Chilong Zhenren to speak,
Yuan Kong turned around and stared at them coldly, causing them to be silent.
The master of the altar turned around, with a respectful look on his face: "Wutong Shen made a big mistake. Although the disciples were on the altar, they also got news from all sides.
This god's nature has not changed, he is still ignorant and vicious, and should not be worthy of sacrifice. The disciples immediately removed him from the Patriarch's Hall.
Master Yaoyangzi brought evil sacrifices into the Taoist sect, which brought shame to the main line of Lushan Mountain. He should also be punished and have his sacrifices cut off.
The disciples will also obey and reject both of them outside the door.
Please follow the teachings of your predecessors."
Chilong Zhenren stared at Yuan Kong coldly for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on Yuan Kong's forehead.
"I hope so!" Master Chilong said.
After saying this, he turned around and walked out the door.
Yuan Kong felt relaxed as he followed - at this moment, Su Wu suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
"Although the seventh-generation master of the altar went astray in the end and was in danger of death, according to his disciples, this master Jinghong also made great contributions to the Tianwei Taoist altar," Su Wu said.
As he spoke, he crossed over to Master Chilong, stood in front of the shrine, picked up a stick of incense, and said, "The commandments cannot be broken. If Master Jinghong does something wrong, he must bear the punishment of being cut off from sacrifices.
However, before that, I might as well offer him a stick of incense.
It’s the last courtesy as a junior.”
Yuan Kong looked at Su Wu and then at Chilong Zhenren, and for a moment he didn't understand what kind of medicine Su Wu was selling in the gourd.
He couldn't stop the other party, so he could only compliment him from the side.
But seeing Su Wu holding the incense in one hand and making an inexplicable handprint with the other, strands of transparent ghost craftsman stitches fell off his wrist and wrapped around the pair of candles on the shrine, projecting his destiny on the pair of candles.
Among the candles, there is an echo with the "Wutong God" and "Jinghong Master Ancestor God" enshrined in the shrine.
Subsequently,
He inserted the incense stick in his hand into the incense burner.
——At this moment, he clearly took advantage of the nature of the 'transparent ghost craftsman's suture' that is not easily noticed by others, and took the opportunity of offering incense to 'ancestor Jinghong' to perform the 'Qimen Dunjia Curse Department'' great cause position
The killing curse'!
The fragrance of the thread floats——
At this moment, Su Wu raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
The colorless ghost stitches on the wrist are shaking slightly!
In the five snake mouths opened by the Wutong God, the Yun Ji talismans overlapped each other, reorganized, and arranged into a talisman. This talisman was pressed into the depths of the darkness - a door vaguely opened.
behind the door,
The long hair hangs down like the tangled vines in the ancient forest, covering the two towering mountains.
Near the foot of the mountain on the left, there is another sharp peak.
On the top of the mountain, which is like a goat's horn and the tip of a knife, there are densely packed long hairs forming a "ball" with an uneven surface, but from a distance it looks like a round ball. In this ball covered with snares, the firelight dances slightly.
A blurry figure turned his back to Su Wu,
Facing the firelight, pressing his hands on his face, his arms continued to exert force——
Pulled the dough off the face.
As Su Wu looked at him, the dry skin he had just torn off was suddenly ignited by a ball of black and red fire!
