632, Great Sage's Curse of Worship! (2/2)
The green incense was wafting in the ancestral hall.
The statue of Jingyang Tianshi sat at the top, holding a board in his hand, with spirits serving beside him.
Below Xu Tianshi,
there were three women wearing silk and satin and wearing golden crowns. These three women were called ‘Chen Jinggu’, ‘Li Sanniang’ and ‘Lin Jiuniang’ when they were alive. The people in Fujian often called them ‘grandmothers’, so they were collectively called the Three Grandmothers.
Below the three ‘altar gods’,
there were a group of spirit statues under ‘Chen Jinggu’, namely Wang Yang Er Taibao, Tiger Grandmother, White Chicken Grandmother, Deng Gao Er Marshal, Danxia Dasheng, etc.
Chilong Zhenren left ‘Lvshan Seven Sons’ and Yuanqing Laodao and his wife to wait outside the hall, and led Su Wu into the ancestral hall.
Yuankong, accompanied by several golden-robed masters, followed Chilong Zhenren and his disciples into the hall.
And after this group of people,
Ding Ling also followed into the hall.
Seeing the thin woman calmly walk into the ancestral hall, Yuan Kong frowned, but he never scolded Ding Ling. He didn't know whether it was because Chilong Zhenren's master and apprentice were present, so he couldn't scold Ding Ling, or there were other reasons.
Chilong Zhenren looked from top to bottom, sweeping over the various "ancestors" enshrined in the hall, his face softened slightly, and asked the Taoist who was sweeping and guarding the hall for a few sticks of incense, and offered them in front of the ancestral statues.
Su Wu followed him and also offered incense to the ancestors.
At this time, Chilong Zhenren looked at the various furnishings, statues, and tablets in the hall, and did not see the incense offerings of the so-called "Five Gods". He frowned and looked up to the right and back of the statues.
The light was dim there, and there was a small door at the end.
The candlelight flickered in the door, as if there were other gods and other offerings there.
Without waiting for Chilong Zhenren to speak, Yuankong spoke first: "Senior Chilong, the Five-Power God is enshrined in the small door behind the ancestors. There is a small room specially set up there with a shrine to enshrine the statue and shrine of the Five-Power God."
"Is this also what Yaoyangzi did when he was alive?
Enshrining a foreign god who was recently introduced to the altar in the ancestral hall?" Chilong Zhenren asked with a frown.
Yuankong shook his head and was about to speak.
After Su Wu, the ‘Ding Ling’ who quietly offered incense to the ancestors, after bowing devoutly in front of the gods, spoke softly, interrupting Yuan Kong’s words, and she said: “It was not when Yao Yangzi was alive that he invited the Five-Power God into the Ancestral Hall. It was done by the previous generation of the altar master. He welcomed the Five-Power God from the outer hall into the main hall. At that time, someone warned him that the gods of the outside world could not enjoy incense in the Ancestral Hall. He did not listen to the words of the warning, but he did not dare to act pretentiously in the statues of the ancestors, so he opened up a small room behind the statues of the ancestors, and dedicated it to worship the Five-Power God.” Ding Ling’s words made Yuan Kong, who was about to respond to the Red Dragon True Man, look annoyed. True Man Chilong glanced at Ding Ling and asked Yuan Kong, "Is what this girl said true?"
"Yes." Facing True Man Chilong's inquiry, Yuan Kong naturally did not dare to lie and said something awkward, "The previous generation of the altar master, the master, was my master. He told me about this matter - welcoming the Five Gods into the ancestral hall was also the last words of the master's grandfather 'Yao Yangzi' before his death.
As a disciple, he naturally has to do his best to fulfill the last wish of the master."
"Does this 'Yao Yangzi' have some inseparable feelings for an evil priest?" True Man Chilong said sarcastically. Yuan Kong couldn't respond, so he smiled awkwardly on the side.
Su Wu, who was beside the bearded Taoist, looked at Ding Ling and asked, "Why do you know so much about this matter?
Did you worship under the Tianwei Taoist Altar at that time?"
Yuan Kong hesitated to speak, and his expression became more and more embarrassed.
Ding Ling shook his head and said calmly, "I didn't worship under the Tianwei Taoist Temple at that time, but I grew up in this Tianwei Temple since I was a child. The Taoist who urged the previous master of the temple not to welcome the Five-Power God into the ancestral temple was called 'White Crane Master'. I was blessed by him and was raised by him until I was thirteen years old."
"Why was he only raised until I was thirteen years old? Did something happen after that?" Su Wu still felt the extremely subtle emotional fluctuations from Ding Ling's calm tone, so he asked another question.
The thin female master looked up at him, with a flash of sadness in her eyes: "When I was thirteen, Master Baihe failed to persuade the previous master Tianchengzi, and Tianchengzi gradually disliked him. Finally, he found a reason and killed him for the crime of "disobedience and collusion with outsiders" by breaking up his talisman body..." Yuan Kong listened to Ding Ling's story, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "What do you mean by finding a reason? It was Master Baihe who was colluding with outsiders. , he was caught hiding by my master several times!
He couldn't stand it anymore, so he wanted to punish Master Baihe!
The charges, evidence, letters exchanged with the foreign 'Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple', and the communication armor and horse talismans that were not burned in time are still sealed in the Taoist temple. What can you use to prove this matter? !
This Tianwei Taoist Temple is a huge foundation, and it was also left by your ancestors!
Ding Ling, you have to be careful with your words——"
Yuan Kong's last few words were incoherent, but they were threatening and pointed.
The female master lowered her eyes and didn't argue with Yuan Kong anymore.
However, Master Chilong and his apprentice vaguely guessed some clues.
Su Wu and Master Chilong looked at each other, and then asked Ding Ling: "If you are not from Tianwei Taoist Temple, how can you grow up in this Taoist temple since childhood?"
Ding Ling remained silent.
No longer responding to Su Wu's questions.
Yuan Kong's last few words really had an effect, making the female master feel scrupulous and not dare to say anything more in front of Chilong's real master and disciple.
"Let's go!
Look at the five-tong god there, what a trick it is! "
Master Chilong no longer lingered here, and took the lead to walk towards the inner room of the temple where the candlelight was swaying.
Yuan Kong led several golden-robed masters and quickly followed him.
Although the inner room is a separate small room separated from the space of the 'ancestral hall', this small room is not actually narrow, and it is not a problem for three or five people to enter the room at the same time.
On the wall facing the door of the room, there is a shrine about half a person high.
In the shrine,
Five big snakes were entangled in it. The five snake heads opened their bloody mouths one after another, and the Yunji talismans were marked out with gold paint in their mouths. Those talismans had no actual meaning and acted as 'doors'.
Under the clay statue of the ‘Wutong God’,
There is also a longevity tablet listed.
On that tablet were written the words "The spiritual tablet of the seventh generation master of the Tianwei Taoist altar, Jinghong", in large golden letters!
"Is this 'Jinghong' your master, Yaoyangzi?" Chilong Zhenren turned to look at Yuan Kong and sneered, "He is not in the grand main hall of the ancestors outside, with other generations of altar masters. Like great masters, they share the prosperity of the world.
Why are you hiding in a corner with a heretic and evil priest? ! "
Yuan Kong and all the golden-robed masters behind him all looked embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to what the Red Dragon Master said.
Master Chilong glanced at the objects on the shrine, but did not find the slightest clue of the 'Wutong God's true body'. He frowned and said in a deep voice again: "The Wutong God feeds on human sacrifices. He has not shed his true nature, and is still among the evil worshipers in obscene temples and the ghosts of the Six Heavens!
Yaoyangzi was bent on transferring evil sacrifices to the Taoist altar, and was deceived by the evil sacrifices. He should no longer be worthy of enjoying the incense of Taoism!
They need to be moved out of the Patriarch's Hall immediately, and the clay body and the shrine must be burned to ashes. The sacrifices of the two must not be preserved anywhere in the Taoist temple! "
"How can this be possible?!"
"Master Jinghong made great efforts for the Tianwei Taoist temple and turned the tide. If he hadn't carried up the Tianwei Taoist temple that was about to collapse with his single strength, our altar would have been destroyed long ago!"
"It's okay to remove the Wutong God from the Patriarch's Palace and abandon the evil sacrifices! It's absolutely not okay to abandon Master Jinghong!"
What Chilong Zhenren said immediately aroused the excitement among the golden-robed masters behind Yuan Kong, and they all expressed their resistance.
but,
Without waiting for Master Chilong to speak,
Yuan Kong turned around and stared at them coldly, causing them to be silent.
The master of the altar turned around, with a respectful look on his face: "Wutong Shen made a big mistake. Although the disciple was on the altar, he also got news from all sides.
This god's nature has not changed, he is still ignorant and vicious, and he should not be worthy of sacrifice. The disciples immediately removed him from the Patriarch's Hall.
Master Yaoyangzi brought evil sacrifices into the Taoist sect, which brought shame to the main line of Lushan. He should also be punished and have his sacrifices cut off.
The disciples will also obey and reject both of them outside the door.
Please follow the teachings of your predecessors. "
Chilong Zhenren stared at Yuan Kong coldly for a moment, and cold sweat broke out on Yuan Kong's forehead.
"I hope so!" Master Chilong said.
After saying this, he turned around and walked out the door.
Yuan Kong felt relaxed as he followed - at this moment, Su Wu suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
"Although the seventh-generation master of the altar went astray in the end and was in danger of dying, according to his disciples, this master Jinghong also made great contributions to the Tianwei Taoist altar." Su Wu said As he spoke, he passed Master Chilong, stood in front of the shrine, picked up a stick of incense, and said, "The commandments cannot be broken. If Master Jinghong does something wrong, he must bear the punishment of cutting off sacrifices.
However, before that, I might as well give him a stick of incense.
It is the last courtesy as a junior. "
Yuan Kong looked at Su Wu and then at the real Chilong, and for a moment he didn't understand what kind of medicine Su Wu was selling in the gourd.
He couldn't stop the other party, so he could only compliment him from the side.
But seeing Su Wu holding the incense in one hand and making an inexplicable handprint with the other, strands of transparent ghost craftsman stitches fell off his wrist and wrapped around the pair of candles on the shrine, projecting his destiny on the pair of candles. The candles echo the "Wutong God" and "Jinghong Master Ancestor God" enshrined in the shrine.
Subsequently,
He inserted the incense stick in his hand into the incense burner.
——At this moment, he clearly took advantage of the nature of the 'Transparent Ghost Craftsman's Suture' which is not easily noticed by others, and took the opportunity of offering incense to 'Master Jinghong' to perform the 'Great Karmic Position of the Curse Department of Qimen Dunjia' The killing curse'!
The fragrance of the thread floats——
At this moment, Su Wu raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
The colorless ghost stitches on the wrist are shaking slightly!
In the five snake mouths opened by the Wutong God, the Yun Ji talismans were superimposed, reorganized, and arranged into one talisman. This talisman was pressed into the depths of the darkness—a door vaguely opened.
behind the door,
The long hair hangs down like the tangled vines in the ancient forest, covering the two towering mountains.
Near the foot of the mountain on the left, there is another sharp peak.
On the top of the mountain, which is like a goat's horn and the tip of a knife, there are densely packed long hairs forming a 'ball' with an uneven surface, but it looks round from a distance. In this ball covered with snares, the firelight dances slightly.
A blurry figure turned his back to Su Wu,
Facing the firelight, pressing his face with both hands, his arms continued to exert force——
Pulled the dough off his face.
As Su Wu ‘looked’ at ‘him’, the dry skin he had just torn off was suddenly ignited by a ball of black and red flames!
