After it was passed down to Abbot Kongye's generation, everything was as usual until someone discovered that after the money was poured into the pond at the foot of the mountain, a strange blood color appeared, and there was also a smell similar to corpse stench.
Although it's not obvious, it's obviously not a good sign.
After all, this place is a famous tourist attraction, and there are Buddhist and Taoist religions living together, so it naturally attracted everyone's attention. So Abbot Kongye took his disciples down the mountain to check the pond water, and found that there was indeed a crimson color similar to blood, and there was something about it.
The unpleasant fishy smell made some curious little monks scoop some up and drink it. The next night, they suffered from severe abdominal pain and vomited pus and blood.
The abbot realized that this was by no means an ordinary change in nature, especially in such a pure and blessed place. It was likely that something evil was at work or a sign of a change in the world. They traced their way back to the source and found the Putuo Rock Spring where the waterfall originated.
There was nothing unusual about the water; the water quality was as clear and crystal clear as usual.
Only after flowing down near a group of caves on the mountainside, strange blood streaks and smells gradually appeared. After careful investigation, it was discovered that in the cave behind the waterfall, there was actually fresh blood pouring out from the ground, contaminating the waterfall.
.
They wanted to go into the cave to find out what was going on, but everyone who entered the cave had various hallucinations on the way before they reached the depths. Some said they saw figures with twisted limbs, while others said they were being raped.
Wrapped in sheets of human skin, it is suffocating.
Even before his eyes, Kongye saw the concept of impurity in the Buddhist theory of "Five Stops of Mind". It felt like countless skeletons with some fresh internal organs were continuously coming out of the hole, and the deeper they went.
, the illusions became more dense and real, and even I, who had practiced Buddhism for half a lifetime, could not resist this feeling of fear, and finally gave up halfway.
Seeing that the water in the pond at the foot of the mountain is getting redder and redder day by day, even the Qianqian Waterfall is obviously stained with corpse energy, and some people who accidentally ingested the blood here have been unable to eat anything since then, even if they managed to swallow it.
If you go in, it will turn into pus and blood and vomit out after a few hours. You will see that your body becomes more and more haggard and thin, and you will soon die.
As the abbot of Songhe Temple, Kongye was very anxious, guessing that there were some ghosts or monsters lingering behind the cave, so he opened an altar to try and held water and land dojos for several days, but there seemed to be no obvious results.
Until one day Liu Yishou suddenly appeared here. It looked like he was not traveling, but had already chosen this place as his destination. As soon as he reached the mountain, he went straight to Songhe Temple and asked what had happened recently.
Weird things.
Liu Yishou's name is well-known in the industry, and Kongye has naturally heard of it. However, the two of them had never known each other before. This time when they saw each other, they came directly to the door. Kongye quickly regarded him as a life-saving straw and asked him to check it out.
What happened to the blood in the cave?
Fortunately, Liu Yishou was able to live up to his reputation. He entered a cave of unknown depth alone, as if those terrifying hallucinations did not exist for him at all. No one knew how far he went into the mountain. All he knew was that
Three full days after he entered, there was a brief tremor in the entire Dongshan Mountain, and then the water in the waterfalls and pools returned to normal.
Not only did the corpse odor and blood color completely fade away, but even those who had been seriously ill after taking water quickly recovered, and the peaceful scenery of the past was restored here.
After Liu Yishou climbed out of the cave, he told Kongye that he had sealed some things in the cave, thus temporarily stopping the blood from flowing out, and this should not happen again in the future.
Although his seal was almost impossible to be broken by others, Liu Yishou still reminded Kong Ye not to go down to that cave in the future. There were still some strange and sinister things in it. Although they were harmless, they were also harmful to nature.
After that, Liu Yishou left without a trace, and Kong Ye never saw him again in these years. Now that he heard that I was his apprentice, he was naturally very happy and asked me questions.
To be honest, although I am Liu Yishou's apprentice, the total time I have spent with him is probably not as long as the time I spent with Granny Ghost. I know nothing about her past experiences and what she is busy with now.
Ye talked about Liu Yishou's deeds back then like a treasure trove, and I could only smile and agree.
He felt a little strange at first. He didn’t understand Liu Yishou very well from the way I looked, and I really didn’t look like a closed disciple. But after he took another look at my eyes, he suddenly showed a look of relief. He thought about how I had been a ghost in the past.
My mother-in-law also saw at a glance that I had the ghost eyes given by Liu Yishou. This abbot is not an ordinary person after all, so he should be able to detect it.
"So, it turns out that the cave has actually been sealed by the master, so what Fatty and I only entered was the unsealed surface?" Contacting Kong Ye's story about the past, I quickly came to terms with what happened this afternoon.
They are connected together. They are all caves behind waterfalls on the mountainside, and there are weird things that are harmful to nature. It can't be a coincidence.
After listening to my detailed description, Kongye's face suddenly became serious. He changed his joy just now and said with lingering fear: "Did you encounter any monsters or evil spirits after you entered the cave?"
I answered truthfully: "There is one monster, but the one who took the initiative to enter today has been eliminated. As for the others... In the big hole in the center, I encountered a bunch of objects that seemed to be made of living human flesh.
, they remained in a state of immortality until I bumped into them, but I have transcended them all."
"Well...yes, Master Liu did tell me that there is such a place, but you actually saved it all and passed away? Isn't there any dojo rituals arranged?" Kongye said a little surprised, after all, he did it
As a lifelong monk, I know how difficult it is to bring the dead souls, especially the resentful souls, to reincarnation into bliss.
I gave him a rough look and told him that I had special means to effectively resurrect the souls of the dead, because I didn’t know how to explain to others that I had suddenly learned the Ksitigarbha Sutra a few days ago and discovered that there were relics in my body.
explain.
Kongye seemed to accept my statement, as if it was natural for Liu Yishou's disciple to have this ability, and then asked: "Other than that? Have you ever been to the deeper parts of the Great Hollow?"
"Ah? Is there any deeper place?" I asked strangely, "I walked around the stone wall and returned to the starting point from the starting point. I didn't find any secret doors or paths."
Kongye nodded and said with some relief: "So that's it, it seems that the master has set a seal there. If you go deeper, you must have a certain means of decrypting the seal before you can enter. You are not doing this without knowing it."
Under certain circumstances, it would be better to break it.”
