After rolling up the soul-calling flag, Su Wu and Ding Ling said: "Pack up, let's leave from here first. Don't stay in the same place for too long, lest we be overtaken by the Resentful God's guard of honor."
"Okay." Cauldron Spirit responded, then pushed the altar down, cast a talisman to lower the fire, and burned away all traces of the place.
Su Wu took the cauldron spirit and Li Bi quickly left the Taoist temple.
Not long after,
Surrounded by a pavilion built on the protrusion of a different peak on the mountainside, rampant soldiers were all around, carrying the gloomy wind, patrolling everywhere.
The nine-headed doll is still arranged to look out,
Su Wu and Ding Ling were guarding the stone pavilion, sitting opposite each other in front of the stone table.
The former took out a lantern cover and placed it on the oil lamp on the stone table, which was swaying and seemed to be blown out by the wind at any time. Then he made a seal with his hand and pointed his sword on the oil lamp that was covered by the lamp.
The fundamental talisman seal is also reflected on the oil lamp.
The flickering frequency of the oil lamp light becomes smaller,
The lampshade is filled with rich darkness.
A small figure was reflected in the light, swinging with the light.
"Kong Ming."
Su Wu's lips did not move, and no sound came out of his mouth.
But his thoughts flowed slightly,
All the cauldron spirits in the pavilion heard the ‘sound’ Su Wu intended.
Ding Ling glanced at Su Wu nervously, fearing that his actions at this time would disturb Su Wu's communication with the deceased Kong Ming's consciousness, so he sat opposite Su Wu, not daring to take a breath, and sat upright.
A layer of ripples appeared on the small figure in the light.
It did not respond to Su Wu's call.
"Pu'an altar with Dharma Buddha is empty and bright."
Su Wu was slow and unhurried, using his 'mind' to reveal more information. Using this method to awaken the consciousness of the deceased, he gradually achieved the goal of communicating with it and obtaining a lot of information.
This time, after being stunned for a while, the small figure began to turn around and look around, as if looking for the trace of the person calling him.
"No need to look anywhere.
I'm not here.
Kong Ming, I have something to ask you.
You must answer accurately, this is related to your life and safety!" Su Wu's thoughts flowed slowly, lingering around the 'black lantern', slowly penetrating into the darkness surrounding the light, and interacting with the empty dead.
Consciousness communicates.
He talks to the sky with his mind,
It will also trigger the effect of ‘war of words’.
The effect is even stronger.
At this moment, his words left no doubt about Kong Ming's consciousness of the dead. Kong Ming didn't even realize that he was dead. He nodded in response to Su Wu and said, "Your Excellency, just ask, the poor monk will definitely tell you everything!"
"Is there anything in Fengshan Tianwei Taoist Temple that you Pu'an Temple is very concerned about?
The one you've always wanted to find back?" Su Wu asked again.
Kong Ming was stunned for a moment, and after a pause, he still responded: "Yes."
"What is it?"
"...the remains of the Holy Mother and Bodhisattva."
"Kong Ming, don't lie to me, I can save your life, or I can make you die again in an instant.
I'll ask you again, please think about it before answering.
Are they really the remains of the so-called ‘Holy Mother Bodhisattva’?” Su Wu’s tone became serious and collected.
The small figure in the light became cold due to Su Wu's thoughts, and also shivered. The monk-like figure curled up and timidly said: "The little monk just forgot...
In addition to the remains of the Holy Mother and Bodhisattva,
There is another thing, which is the inherited treasure of our Pu'an altar.
It is a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva dressed in black and surrounded by chains.
Behind that statue, there is a puzzle engraved on it."
"puzzle?
Have you ever seen that puzzle piece?
In the Pu'an altar, have you ever read any classics and materials, or learned any clues about the puzzle?" Su Wu didn't give Kongming any room to think about it, and after he answered one of his questions honestly, he immediately threw it out
Next question.
Kong Ming murmured to himself: "The clues of the puzzle..."
He lowered his head and thought for a moment,
Then he said to Su Wu: "I originally remembered some clues about the puzzle, but now that I think about it, I can't think of many..."
After all, the current consciousness of the deceased is much incomplete.
It is normal that he cannot remember many details clearly.
"Then just report the clues you remember truthfully." Su Wu said.
Kong Ming, the dead man's consciousness, paused and said: "I vaguely remember that the founder of Ksitigarbha Temple had three or four wives, one of whom he brought back from Dongliu Island.
It is recorded in the genealogy of the ancestors of the Ksitigarbha Temple that he discussed the Dharma with a certain priest of Nagagawa Shrine, and the two had similar interests. The priest invited him to his home and entertained him, and the priest's daughter fell in love with the tall Kai
The founder of the altar was always by his side from then on.
One night he stayed in the forest of Changchuan and dreamed of a dragon circling the sun and moon, and a priest's daughter waiting beside him.
The priest's daughter also had a dream that night. She dreamed of a monk in black, asking her to bring something to someone and reminding someone not to forget to visit him...
After the two of them woke up, the founder of the altar understood the 'Vow Sutra'. Next to the priest's daughter was a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, dressed in black and surrounded by dark chains.
At that time, there was no puzzle picture behind the statue.
After the two returned to Riyue Island together, the founder of the altar returned to Fujian from Riyue Island, preached the Dharma in various places in Fujian, established the Dharma lineage of the "Great Wish King Temple", and gradually ignored the daughter of the priest on Riyue Island.
.
The priest's daughter established the tradition of "Pu'an Altar" on Riyue Island on her own initiative.
Since then,
There seems to be a puzzle behind that statue.
No one who has ever seen a jigsaw puzzle can remember it completely in their mind after seeing the jigsaw puzzle.
The part of the puzzle that remained in their hearts was understood and interpreted by them into various Dharma doors, which then formed the Dharma inheritance of Pu'an Altar. Apart from these, more young monks don't remember..."
Su Wu nodded, convinced that Kong Ming had nothing to hide in this matter.
I never thought that Pu'an Altar and Ksitigarbha Temple were actually from the same family at their roots, but they later developed in different ways, making it difficult to reunite.
He pondered for a moment, and then asked Kong Ming: "Then do you remember why you came to Fengshan?
Is it for the black Jizo statue that records the inheritance of Pu’an Altar?”
"I'm going to Fengshan... I'm going to Fengshan..." Kongming murmured and repeated a sentence. Its tiny figure hidden in the candlelight gradually expanded and became distorted as it murmured and repeated its words.
!
"Don't think too much about other things!
You just need to tell me, did you go to Fengshan to find that statue?!" Su Wu interrupted Kong Ming's soliloquy and asked in a more serious tone!
His words interrupted Kong Ming's ever-expanding thoughts - if the consciousness of the deceased knew that it was dead, its consciousness would also die quickly in a short period of time!
"Yes, just to find that statue..." Kong Ming responded subconsciously.
"Then what did you gain?
Have you ever found where the statue is?" Su Wu then asked.
Kong Ming lowered his head and fell silent.
Su Wu's thoughts focused on the lantern, and the darkness inside the lantern began to stir silently: "Have you ever found where the statue is?"
He asked repeatedly.
Kong Ming gradually raised his head, his thin face full of a cold smile, his eyes staring straight at the turbulent darkness: "I found it - but I just won't tell you -"
His head expanded in an instant,
Almost bursting the lantern cover!
Compared with the small body, the head that looks extremely 'huge' has a pair of bulging eyes, filled with whirlpools of blood: "I just won't tell you, haha, I just won't tell you!"
"Naughty." Su Wu grinned——
In the swirling darkness all around, his face suddenly appeared.
He had a curved horn on his head, and a blood-red vertical eye sprouted from the center of his eyebrows. All three eyes stared at Kong Ming's extremely swollen head, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Pah! Cah!"
The true meaning of Yamantaka came instantly, turned into a big blood-red palm print, and suddenly pressed on the extremely swollen head of 'Kong Ming', and slapped and pressed hard!
The head of 'Kong Ming' was suddenly like a deflated rubber ball, rapidly withering and collapsing under the grinding of the true meaning of Yamantaka!
Finally returns to normal size!
in the light,
The tiny figure of ‘Kong Ming’ shook a few times,
Then it dissipated lightly.
But before the consciousness of the dead person dissipated, Su Wu had already traced the traces of the 'Black Ksitigarbha Statue' - the three eyes of the six-day old ghost true boy diverged, and a misty blue-grey light flowed in the eyes. Following the strange charm of resentment that was squeezed out of the consciousness of the empty deceased, I glimpsed a place in an instant.
It was pitch black, covered in cobwebs and dust somewhere.
A statue of a woman sits cross-legged on a lotus platform, with a smile on her face as round as an goose egg.
The colorful clothes on her body were mottled and discolored.
He folded his palms in front of his chest and held up a statue of Ksitigarbha in black clothes wrapped in chains.
…
Su Wu only had time to glance at the statue of Ksitigarbha in black. The scene in the Six-Days Old Ghost True Child was smoothed out and disappeared in a very short time like tiny ripples on the water.
He thought for a moment,
He raised his head and looked at the Cauldron Spirit: "Do you have any impression of the posture and appearance of the statue of God in the Wish Temple? Have you ever dreamed about it?"
Ding Lingzheng saw the "empty" consciousness of the deceased in the lamp cover disappearing in an instant. When she was feeling nervous, she unexpectedly asked Su Wu this question. She said "ah" and her thoughts immediately started to spin. After thinking for a moment, she immediately came out. He said: "May God be seated in the temple.
It resembles the face of my great-great-grandmother, with an oval face.
What's wrong?
Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"We collected and searched various classics and genealogies collected in Tianwei Taoist Temple, and there are many records about the founder of the altar. After the founder of the altar had an epiphany overnight and walked out of the Yuan Temple, he immediately ordered the temple to be demolished and sealed. .
May the statue of God be cared for by his ‘faithful ones’.
After that, he began to study a lot about the theory of Feng Shui operation and built a lot of construction projects on Fengshan Mountain.
As you said - at that time, the founder of the altar who came out of the temple was no longer the real "founder of the altar". It was most likely that he was the evil god who studied Feng Shui physiognomy for the sake of his own future. Can plant the foundation for growth and revive again!
The statue of the wishing god was only mentioned in the classics as being cared for by the confidant of the 'ancestor who opened the altar'.
Since then, his whereabouts have disappeared.
Now that I think about it,
That statue, together with the statue of Ksitigarbha in black, should be placed in a certain ‘treasure place’ where Feng Shui works!
On Fengshan Mountain, the ceremonial guards of the Resentful God appear in groups every night of the crescent moon. The disciples who leave the mountain will not be disturbed by the ceremonial guards of the Resentful God - it can be seen that the entire Fengshan Mountain has been polluted by the Resentful God.
The location where the black-clad Ksitigarbha statue is placed,
It must be above the node of this mountain's dragon vein!
