631, Tianwei Temple (1/2)
On the long mountain steps.
The master of the altar, "Yuan Kong", was wearing a purple robe, leading all the disciples in gold, red and cyan robes behind him on the mountain steps. Beside him, Chilong Zhenren, with his hands behind his back, was walking in a half-worn blue and black robe. It's good to have a good time.
Later, Su Wu was also dressed in black Taoist robes, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, followed by a group of disciples all wearing black Taoist robes.
The two groups of people each wore different robes, and they were clearly distinguishable from each other.
"Have you heard about what Wutong Shen committed in the Shaxi River area?
——A few days ago, several villagers from the Shaxi River area came by boat and invited Mr. Tianshun, your altar, to come to them to suppress the disaster caused by the Wutong God. "Chilong Zhenren looked at the archway on the mountainside from a distance, and suddenly said to the master of the altar who was following step by step.
The Grand Master, the altar leader, was caught off guard by his question. He felt excited and quickly lowered his head and said, "It seems that there is such a thing. It was only after my disciples reported it to me that I finally understood it..."
“Whether it comes first or later, you always know this.
——Those red-headed masters I sent to the mountain to deliver news to you, do you know why they abolished their talisman cultivation and dismantled their talisman body?
Why are there no traces of Mr. Tian Shun or even his most ‘outstanding’ disciples?
did you know? "Master Chilong turned his head and glanced at the altar master.
The master of the altar suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was as heavy as a mountain.
His head hung lower, and his lips moved as he said: "Those red-headed masters who were sent to the mountain by you, senior, as well as their master Mr. Tian Shun and several missing disciples - all have committed crimes. Big mistake,
Senior, how do you deal with them? Tianwei Taoist Temple has not even said a word! "
The master of the altar seems to be sincere in his speech, but in fact he is careless and does not accept the tricks of the real Chilong at all. He always talks about him and wants to put all the blame on the dead person. Come and pluck yourself clean from it!
"Haha, you are very smart." Chilong Zhenren tapped Yuan Kong's head with his finger and said with a grin, "Then do you know what big mistake they made?"
Yuan Kong lowered his head and closed his mouth tightly without speaking.
"Sacrificing human beings to gods is an evil ritual that is popular among heretics and evil spirits of the Six Heavens!
Mr. Tian Shun and others committed a ritual at Wutong Ferry, intending to sacrifice human beings to worship the "Wutong God". This is a serious crime!
A certain person ascended to the altar of Dharma and asked for the karma of the Taoist priests below the altar.
I saw Mr. Tian Shun’s disciple ‘Gibbon Immortal’ on the talisman body, ‘bloody light surrounds his body, and his karma is like clouds’. He killed no less than a hundred innocent people directly or indirectly!
Some of his senior brothers and sisters were even more serious than him!
How could such an evil ghost receive a talisman under my Lushan sect? He was so famous that he killed them all with one sword. Although the remaining red-headed masters did not directly kill people, they were still acting in a powerful manner on weekdays. It is not a sin to do good deeds and bully the weak by relying on the strong, but it is not worthy to use the Tao and dharma to dominate all living beings, so someone dismantled their talismans and dharma bodies! "
After what Master Chilong said, the master of the altar and the sixteen 'gold-robed masters' behind him all lowered their heads tightly, for fear that others would see the expressions on their faces.
Some of the younger masters after the golden-robed master couldn't help but look surprised.
Some people even showed a slight hostility towards Chilong Zhenren and his party!
They were not high-level officials in the Tianwei Taoist altar and could have access to the truth behind the murder of Mr. Tian Shun. They did not know the origins of Chilong Zhenren and his group, so they only assumed that they were staying at the Taoist temple at home.
Now that I heard what Master Chilong said, I realized that the other party came with the purpose of punishing his own Taoist altar!
All the masters have always been arrogant and domineering, using human sacrifices to communicate with the gods, and their magic and magic are omnipotent!
What's more, the living people they used as sacrifices were all treacherous, rebellious, and unfilial people from all over the village. These people died when they died, and they were not worth pity at all. But this bearded Taoist couldn't carry them clearly and came here. Are you shouting at them in the Taoist altar and gesticulating?
Don’t know what is good and what is bad!
“It’s all due to the disciples being careless and not strict in their discipline.
What caused them to make such a big mistake!
He actually used ‘human sacrifice’ as a living sacrifice to the gods!
Senior, killing them will also eliminate their karma, and they can be reincarnated as human beings in the next life. I thank senior on their behalf - I will strictly restrain my disciples from now on, and I will never let my disciples repeat what Mr. Tian Centi and others did. The mistakes of human beings——" Grand Master, the leader of the altar, spoke tremblingly, still evading the important and neglecting the trivial. He did not mention whether there were any "living human sacrifices" among his disciples.
He only talks about the specific crimes of the deceased Mr. Tian Shun and others, and wants to pick up the matter high and put it down gently!
After Yuan Kong finished speaking, he immediately waved behind him and ordered his disciples to escort several red-headed masters who came to the Taoist temple to report the news to the Red Dragon Master. He continued: "These disciples have been forgiven by their seniors, but they have not been forgiven at all. Being ungrateful, he even leaked information to the altar with the intention of driving a wedge between Tianwei Guan and our seniors, creating a gap between the two of us!
The disciple has no choice but to kill these young men on the spot to prove his true intentions! "
After speaking, the master of the altar waved his hand——
The Tianwei Taoist disciples who were escorting the red-headed masters running up the mountain drew out their swords and weapons one after another, pressed the necks of the red-headed masters, and pierced their chests with their swords!
The red-headed masters have experienced various changes since they went up the mountain. They never expected that the situation would turn so suddenly. They all opened their eyes wide and sensed the approaching murderous aura behind them. Two or three of them were so frightened that they peed their pants!
The rest started to cry loudly!
"fall!"
Seeing that the sword was about to pierce the hearts of several red-headed masters, leaving transparent holes in their bodies, Su Wu, who was standing next to Master Chilong, suddenly spoke up!
He stopped shouting and his tongue exploded with spring thunder!
The figures of the disciples holding the swords trembled, and their thoughts went blank for a moment!
The swords in everyone's hands clattered and fell on the mountain steps one after another!
Yuan Kong looked at the weapons rolling down, feeling horrified in his heart. He couldn't help but glance at Su Wu - the other party didn't use any talismans just now, but just uttered one word from his mouth, which shocked the minds of all his disciples and scared them. They dropped their weapons on the spot!
"Zhu Xiaozi... what does this mean?" Yuan Kong blurted out.
Zhu Xiaozi?
Su Wu heard what the other party called him, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he would change his nickname again.
His thoughts changed and he spoke: "Although they have made a big mistake, their crime will not lead to death. How can they kill them just like killing pigs and sheep? If you don't want to accept them, you can send them away." Go down the mountain.
There is no need to use weapons and show your feelings here. "
"Since Zhu Xiaozi has spoken, let's spare their lives and send them down the mountain." Yuan Kong waved his hand, and his disciples let go of the red-headed masters who were so scared that they were pissed.
Several red-headed masters scrambled and fled down the mountain.
At this time, Master Chilong asked Yuan Kong: "Why do you call my disciple Zhuxiaozi? Who gave him the Taoist name?"
"How this name spread, the disciples don't know very well." Yuan Kong was eager for Chilong Zhenren to change the topic. Now when he heard the other party raised other questions, he quickly replied earnestly, "It was also the senior and senior disciples at that time. Fighting with the five-power god, 'Zhuxiaozi' manifested into a huge mountain of flames, like a giant candle charging angrily into the sky.
Therefore, the Taoist name "Zhuxiaozi" was circulated to highlight the two magical powers! "
Master Chilong nodded and suddenly said: "Where is the God of Wutong enshrined in your Taoist temple? Take us to see!"
He changed the subject again!
I have no intention of exposing this matter at all!
The altar master's announcement made his heart sink, but the other party's attention was finally focused on the 'Five Powers God'. For everyone in the Tianwei Taoist altar, it was somewhat of a good thing. Yuan Kong could only respond according to the words of the Red Dragon Master. Said: "Then they were enshrined in the Taoist Temple's 'Ancestral Master's Hall'. The disciples first arranged accommodation for the seniors and fellow Taoists, and then took the seniors to the Ancestral Master's Hall."
“It’s just a place to live, what does it matter whether you see it or not?
Take us to the Patriarch's Palace first! "Chilong Zhenren said directly.
"Yes." The altar leader, Grand Master, was afraid of the strength of Master Chilong and his party, so he had to nod in agreement.
In this way, more than a hundred people turned around the mountain steps and climbed into the "Tianwei Temple" where it was built on the top of the mountain. Tianwei Temple has been the master of the Tianwei Taoist Altar for nine times. Large-scale repairs and expansions have been carried out. As of now, various Taoist gardens have been spread out across the top of the mountain, including "seven halls", "twelve courtyards" and "hundreds of houses".
Towering palaces, pavilions and pavilions are arranged like stars at the foot of the mountain, row upon row.
Under such a magnificent building complex, I don’t know how much blood and tears of ordinary people have accumulated.
"The God of Wutong is a folk god who was welcomed into the mountain gate by the seventh-generation altar master 'Yao Yangzi', who is entitled to enjoy the incense and worship of the Tianwei Taoist altar. This god was originally an evil sacrifice." Mentioning some things that have nothing to do with him, Yuan Kong didn't shy away from it.
After all, Wutong Shen was welcomed in by Yaoyangzi.
How much does it have to do with him, a junior?
Even if there is a problem with the Wutong God, and Chilong Zhenren and his party want to attack this matter, they can only ask them to find the late Yaoyangzi to confront him - they are just ordered to sacrifice to this god, and they have not done anything extraordinary. This pot really cannot be put on my head.
“In the past, in the land south of the Yangtze River, human sacrifices were often made to worship this god, so they were designated as evil sacrifices.
But after it flowed into Fujian, it often had efficacious effects and protected the people. Yaoyangzi said that this divine karma had been corrected and had merit because it protected the people, so he welcomed it into the mountain gate.
To this end, a seven-day "Tianwei Dajiao" was held.
From then on, the incense of Wutong God became more and more prosperous, and various deeds of manifesting spirits, coming to reality and protecting mortals gradually spread throughout the country. The image of this god gradually changed into a big snake with five snake heads in Fujian. "Yuan Kong introduced the people to Chilong Zhenren and his entourage while leading them into the courtyard in the middle of the Taoist temple.
"Senior, the Patriarch's Palace is here." Yuan Kong said.
