Just when Li Xiuyuan was admiring lotuses alone in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a dark wind blew up, blowing through the treetops, across the courtyard, and headed straight for where he was.
"Gu~!"
Lei Gong, who was lying on the eaves and taking a nap, woke up suddenly. He flapped his wings and ruffled his feathers, showing a fierce look.
This is the rooster's reaction when it senses the breath of ghosts and gods.
However, judging from its reaction, it seemed that the ghosts and gods that came were extraordinary, otherwise it would not have reacted until it came to the yard, and it was still broad daylight.
In broad daylight, Xiao Xie, the female ghost in the room opposite, had to get out of the way and hide in a dark room to escape the scorching heat of the sun. Ordinary ghosts and gods would not choose to manifest themselves during the day. Even if they could, they would not be able to manifest themselves.
You will compromise your Taoism and waste your cultivation because of the daytime.
, this is a very unworthy thing.
The dark wind condensed and formed two whirlpools that fell into the shadow of the bamboo forest in the courtyard.
These two ghosts and gods are wearing armor, holding knives and axes, and carrying wooden sticks at their waists. They are tall, strong and powerful. What is surprising is that they do not have human appearances, but one ghost and god holding a huge horse head, and the other ghost and god.
Bearing a huge bull's head.
It looks nondescript, but it gives people a strange intimidating power, making people feel frightened and frightened when they see it.
When Lei Gong saw these two ghosts and gods, he immediately flew down from the eaves with his wings, and then rushed towards them as if to peck them.
Although it is a rooster, it has no fear or fear in the face of ghosts and gods. No matter how many years of practice, it dares to fight with ghosts and gods.
"Lei Gong, retreat." Li Xiuyuan ordered.
This rooster was full of intelligence. After hearing his words, even though its feathers were ruffled and it was about to attack, it abruptly put away its posture and no longer made any offensive movements.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I thought some ghosts and gods dared to manifest themselves so blatantly in broad daylight. I didn't expect it to be you. How was your life during this time in the north? Is it very hard? Ma
Dong, Niu Er~!”
The two ghosts and gods that suddenly appeared in front of him were none other than Ma Dong and Niu Er who were left behind when he went to Beijing to kill the two mountain gods of Shoushan Genyue.
They received the incense from the two mountain gods of Shoushan and Genyue and became the bodies of ghosts and gods, becoming extraordinary ghosts.
"The young man pays his respects to the eldest young master."
The two ghosts and gods immediately bowed their hands respectfully and saluted with great respect.
"How did you know that I came to the capital? You shouldn't be able to grasp my whereabouts." Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Back to the eldest young master, the younger one didn't know that the eldest young master came to the capital. It's just that the Lantern Festival is approaching and all the ghosts and gods near the capital are gathering in the capital. The younger one thought that he should pay attention to it and came here from other places. He just passed by
When I was at the escort office, I saw the old vines on the dead tree in front of the escort office blooming.
The aroma fills the sky, and I guess that there must be a noble person in the escort agency."
"When I came to investigate, I saw the eldest young master." Ma Dong said.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "So that's it. No wonder the capital has become gloomy since yesterday. Even the three ghost generals under the ghost foreman dared to walk around the capital with great fanfare. The feeling is that the Lantern Festival is here, and these ghosts and gods came out to compete for incense and offerings.
.”
The Lantern Festival is actually the Lantern Festival.
This was a festive festival in later generations, but in ancient times it was a sacrificial festival.
At this time, every household would put out lanterns to pray, offer sacrifices to ancestors, shrines in temples, and innocent souls in the mountains and fields.
Although it is not as good as the Ghost Festival, it is still a very important day for ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods who are greedy for incense will take this opportunity to appear in dreams, and evil ghosts and ghosts in the fields can take this opportunity to enjoy an offering.
"But you don't need to pay too much attention to such things. It doesn't matter if ghosts and gods gather together when I'm in the capital." Li Xiuyuan said: "How about it, can the business in the north be effective?"
"I don't dare to deceive the eldest young master. In these days, Niu Er and I have only recruited a few hundred ghosts and a few ghost generals. The results are not satisfactory. I am really ashamed." Ma Dong tilted his head slightly,
But with a horse's head on his head, he really didn't show any regret.
Li Xiuyuan replied: "It doesn't matter. When I arranged for you to be in the north, I just asked you to report the situation here first. Now that I'm going north, some things will naturally be solved. But I believe that you have also worked hard during this period of management. Maybe I
What you are doing is a bit selfish, let you become
In order to continue to serve me for the ghosts and gods, you were supposed to be reincarnated, and I guess you are all about to be born now."
The two looked at each other and said hurriedly: "We will never be able to repay the kindness of the eldest young master in this life, and there is nothing wrong with being a ghost. It's just that our abilities are limited and we cannot meet the requirements of the eldest young master."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't belittle yourselves. No one is born with abilities. The reason why the ghosts and gods you saw before are so powerful is because they have been ghosts and gods for hundreds of years. There is nothing in the world that they don't know. They are good at what they do."
I have also reached an extremely high level of cultivation. As long as I give
If you give me some time, I believe you will become the most powerful ghosts and gods in the world. All the evil ghosts will flee when they see you, and your reputation will spread throughout the world like a thunder god."
Hearing this, Ma Dong and Niu Er were both moved and ashamed.
As expected, the only person in the world worthy of serving the two of them is the eldest young master.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
They have already died once for the eldest young master, so what does it matter if they continue to serve for hundreds of years.
Li Xiuyuan saw tears welling up in the eyes of the cow head and the horse head. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. It's not easy for you to show up in broad daylight. Find a place in the escort agency."
Go and have a rest. You know my situation. Leave my house.
Too close, otherwise I wouldn’t know when my breath would accidentally hit you.”
"Yes, eldest master, the two younger ones are leaving."
Ma Dong and Niu Er bowed respectfully, and then quickly sank into the ground.
After the two left, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "Is it the Lantern Festival? It seems that the capital will not be peaceful during this period."
Even Ma Dong and Niu Er came to the capital. You can imagine how many ghosts and gods will come to the capital during this period.
But at noon, Li Xiuyuan, who had nothing to do, was ready to go out for a walk as usual.
But he happened to hear the news that Zhu Yu, Zhang Bangchang, Qian Jun and other scholars came to visit him.
When we were at Zui Feng Tower before, several people said that they would definitely visit me when they were free. Unexpectedly, a few days later, they actually came, and they came together.
"Brother Li, I saw the escort agency you were staying in all the way down here. People nearby said that the ancient vines in front of the escort agency were blooming, and the fragrance was permeating the air. It was very magical. We found it after a little inquiry. Today I and several others are with us.
Brother Li won't welcome you if you come by appointment, right?" Zhang Bangchang looked charming and unrestrained.
He looked like a prince and said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan also replied: "Why don't you come to visit me? I am so happy that I am not in a hurry. Come and serve tea to these distinguished guests."
Zhu Yu on the side said: "Brother Li, wait a minute, we are not here to drink tea with you today. Last time I heard Brother Li said that he wanted to visit Xiangguo Temple. In order to repay Brother Li's kindness last time, I will wait for you today."
The three of them are willing to be hosts and take Brother Li to Xiangguo Temple. There happens to be a Xiangguo Temple this afternoon.
Don’t miss the eminent monk’s sermon. If you miss this time, you may have to wait until more than a month or two later.”
"Yes, many people from the capital have gone. If we delay any longer, we may be late. Brother Li, why don't you leave quickly?" Zhang Bangchang urged.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "So that's it. No wonder you are so anxious. Since you are so interested, I won't delay and will go with you."
It turned out that they kindly invited me to visit the capital.
"It's not too late, let's set off now. Brother Li invited us." Qian Jun said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan nodded, but when he just walked out of the escort agency, he saw Wu Xiang and Han Meng coming behind him. He said: "You two will stay in the escort agency today. You don't need to follow me. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Yes, young master." Han Meng responded and stopped.
He brings guards just in case, and he can handle real dangers. His martial arts and spells are among the best in the world, but most of the time he will not show off recklessly.
Although the night is full of gloom and ghostly atmosphere.
But the weather today is exceptionally sunny.
The four of them walked together in the direction of Xiangguo Temple in the capital.
On the way, Zhang Bangchang kept talking: "Brother Li, you are reporting on work in Nanjing, but you don't know some strange people and things in this capital. You said that Xiangguo Temple is amazing. It is the most famous temple in Beijing. Most of the temples
They are all virtuous monks with profound Buddhist teachings and extraordinary wisdom.
, the most powerful one is Master Shi Kong, his sermons are incredible and can have the miraculous effect of enlightening the world like the Buddha."
"Master Shikong? Why does this name seem familiar?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, but he asked: "Oh, is there anything strange about Master Shikong's lectures?"
Qian Jun on the side hurriedly chatted: "People who have heard of resentment can let go of the hatred in their hearts after listening to Master Shikong's lectures. People who are narrow-minded can be more open-minded after listening to the lectures. Unfilial sons who treat their parents badly after listening to the scriptures."
After that, you can change your past mistakes and be a new person. There are traces to follow in all kinds of things.
It’s not groundless, isn’t this amazing enough?”
"Yes, the last time I listened to Master Shikong's sermon, I saw all the nearby birds stopped on the treetops, and the passing oxcarts and carriages all knelt on the ground and shed tears. It's a pity that it's so far away from the last time Shikong gave a lecture.
It has been almost half a year since Master Kong gave his lectures. This time, half a year has passed, but Master Kong is opening the forum again.
Lectures are definitely not to be missed," Zhu Yu said.
When Li Xiuyuan heard what they said, he was certain that Master Shikong must be a Buddhist practitioner and that the Dharma was extraordinary.
"Such a master's lecture is indeed worth watching."
It's just that this is the day when the Lantern Festival is approaching. Is it a coincidence or intentional?
