The female ghost nodded and said: "Well, Taoist Priest, what you just saw is the cause and process of the massacre of my Taohua Village."
To be honest, I originally thought she was quite scary, but now that I know what happened to her, I begin to sympathize with her.
I asked her: "So, what do you need me to do for you?"
She looked at the rusty dagger in my hand. If I'm right, this must be the seven-colored divine blade. But now it's covered in a thick layer of rust, and I can only barely make out the dagger.
It's a dagger, but it doesn't have the exquisite beauty of the seven-colored divine blade.
Xiaoyue: "This is the Seven-Colored Divine Blade. In order to prevent the Tianlong Sect from finding it, I hid it in my belly and buried it with my body in the wilderness."
"After talking for a long time, what do you want me to help you with?" I lit a cigarette. It was cold at night, and besides, I was still topless in this wilderness. Smoking a cigarette could relieve the cold.
She looked at me for a long time, and because she had no eyesight, I couldn't understand what she was thinking from her eyes.
She finally spoke, "Taoist Priest, I want you to help me with three things."
"Two items? That's a lot to ask for." I smiled, "Let me tell you first, and I will help you in whatever way I can."
I felt happy when she yelled at me in a long way. I usually only get bullied by ghosts, but I didn't expect to be so respected by ghosts and a group of ghosts today.
She thought for a while and said: "The first thing is that the villagers in my Taohua Village all died violently, with great resentment after death. The ghosts are unwilling to come up to collect them. We cannot go to the underworld to be reincarnated. We hope that the Taoist Master will be merciful."
Deliver salvation for us.”
Now I'm in trouble. The more ghosts there are, the higher the requirements for salvation are. If it's just one or two ghosts, it's no problem to be saved, but there are hundreds of resentful ghosts. With my current practice, it's not a problem.
It's impossible to do.
Without thinking about this, I asked her: "Where's the second one?"
She said, please let me take this seven-colored divine blade away. I was a little confused and asked her, this seven-colored divine blade was stolen by Night Walker from the Tianlong Sect with all his life, and because of looking for this thing, the Tianlong Sect did not hesitate to massacre a village.
Why were you taken away from me so casually?
Xiaoyue said that she believed in my character, and that many people had come to look for this colorful divine blade over the years, but they all came back disappointed. She was afraid that they would eventually be found and fall into the hands of the Tianlong Sect again.
I smiled and thought to myself, if I hadn't found it by accident, you wouldn't have given it to me.
I asked jokingly, how come you believe me as a person and are not afraid that I am a member of the Tianlong Sect? She said: "Intuition, intuition tells me that I can trust you."
This makes me laugh even more. Sometimes intuition is really accurate, but sometimes it can only kill you. I never believe in intuition, only scientific judgment.
Besides, hundreds of years have passed, and cults such as the Tianlong Sect have been destroyed by my great Red Guards. Who else wants to take advantage of this colorful divine blade?
Xiaoyue said that she didn't know what the purpose of this thing was. She only knew that Night Walker had told her that this thing should not fall into the hands of the Tianlong Sect.
Okay, next I have to figure out how to save them. There are so many ghosts, which is really a headache. Just reciting the mantra to save ghosts will not have much effect. It requires spiritual blessing to be effective. With my
Dao Xing cannot be controlled at all.
Suddenly I thought of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, which is a very good choice to save the souls of the dead. The Buddhist Ksitigarbha Sutra and the Rebirth Mantra are somewhat different in their salvation methods. The Rebirth Mantra can force the ghosts to be sent to the underworld, and let the ghosts take them to the underworld.
, but whether the salvation is successful or not depends on Taoism.
The Ksitigarbha Sutra is used to influence the souls of the dead, allowing them to voluntarily be saved, and finally use the power of the gods to save them. Buddhist scriptures, as long as they are sincere, can be effective even for ordinary people.
I found my mobile phone. Fortunately, I had downloaded some Buddhist and Taoist classics on it. I remembered that there was also the Ksitigarbha Sutra in it.
I found the TXT file of the Ksitigarbha Sutra on my phone. After opening it, I first did some simple rituals for monks before reading the sutra. To be honest, I felt a little inconsistent with Mr. Yin Yang reciting Buddhist scriptures, but now it is
There is no other way.
I recited the first sentence of the sutra: "I have heard that at one time the Buddha was preaching to his mother in the Trayasa Palace, and at the same time in the countless worlds in the ten directions..."
When I recited the scriptures, Xiaoyue and the hundreds of ghosts all knelt down to me, clasped their hands together, and looked very solemn.
Every time I read the passages where Ksitigarbha made his vows, all these hundreds of complaints burst into tears, as if they were moved by Ksitigarbha and seemed to be repenting. Without mentioning them, I don’t know why.
I also want to cry for no reason. Because my understanding of Buddhism is limited to reading Journey to the West and Living Buddha Jigong, and I don’t have a profound understanding of it. Maybe there is a reason why Buddhism has been spread in the world for so long.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I was chanting sutras, I vaguely felt a Ksitigarbha statue floating above me several times, but when I looked up carefully, I found that there was nothing above me.
This was my first time to recite Buddhist sutras, and I was reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Halfway through the recitation, I found that my head felt dizzy, and it became increasingly difficult to continue reciting it.
I have heard people say before that this is a normal reaction when chanting sutras, and it is a reaction to the bad karma that one has created over many lifetimes. I don’t know if this is true, but I know that everyone has created a lot of bad karma in their lives.
Many people think that they can get rid of everything when they die. In fact, it is not true. You have created karma in this life and want to escape through death. This is impossible, because these retributions will accumulate in your next life, and one day they will come to you.
.
That sentence is very good. Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. It does not mean that the time of retribution has not come yet. Therefore, try to do as few bad things as possible in life and accumulate more merits, otherwise you will receive the retribution you deserve.
After reciting and reciting, I endured the dryness of my mouth and finally finished reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Finally, I recited Hui Xiangwen. When I was about to finish, Xiaoyue no longer looked like a green face and fangs, but returned to her pure and beautiful appearance.
’s appearance, and other resentful ghosts have also returned to their original appearance.
Xiaoyue clasped her hands together and smiled at me: "Thank you." Finally, all the ghosts turned into light spots and disappeared into the night sky.
I knew that they had been transcended by me, and I couldn't help but exhale, feeling very satisfied in my heart.
It was starting to get light at this time, so I walked down the mountain.
It was about 6 o'clock in the morning, so I went directly to Master's shop. When I walked to the door, I saw him opening the door of the shop. I pointed at his nose and cursed him, but needless to say, I was kicked several times by him first.
Then I was pulled to the back hall and made to kneel in front of the statue of Master Zhang for two hours. They said that I had deceived my master and destroyed my ancestors, and asked me to repent properly.
Because I was kneeling directly on the floor with no cushion, my knees became red and swollen, and I couldn't stand up. In the end, Master saw how pitiful I looked and helped me sit on a chair.
He poured a cup of tea, drank it himself, and asked me: "What did you gain last night?"
I rubbed my knees and said, "I almost died because of a bad harvest. Hey, Master, but I seemed to know the truth about the massacre of Taohua Village last night."
"Oh? Really? Tell me." He drank tea and didn't seem to care much.
I remember last night that I was first chased by a group of ghosts, and then almost killed by a Yin-Eating Snake. Finally, Xiaoyue showed me the origin of everything.
After saying this, Master's expression did not change much, as if he already knew it.
I asked, Master, did you already know this? (To be continued)
