634, Yingzhen Fu (2/2)
Yuan Kong frowned when he heard this. He did not think of the crucial day of April 14th.
Even though the Tianwei Taoist altar has many connections with the local sects and witchcraft,
But 'April 14th' is more important. The other party obviously will not give up their respective ceremonies held around April 14th for the sake of their so-called 'sacrifice to the gods'.
But if he doesn't use this as an excuse and directly claims that his family is in trouble and wants the other party to lend a helping hand, Yuan Kong is even more afraid that except for the Wumen who have fought against Chilong Zhenren's master and apprentice, the other forces will not pay attention to it. If you send a few crooked melons and cracked jujubes here, wouldn't this mean that you are ruining your own affairs? !
After thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Kong suddenly had a thought. He called a golden-robed grand master and said with him: "Catch up with the three people from before and tell them that we will take the lead in this 'big sacrifice to the gods'." Organize, gather together various families, and offer sacrifices to gods and deities from all walks of life, regardless of whether they are from local religions, witchcraft, or Buddhism, they are all included in this sacrifice!
Each part of the ritual also needs to be negotiated and agreed upon by all parties, so as to jointly contribute to the plan for the manifestation of Zhenlu Mountain!
This great festival to worship the gods will definitely be a grand event, and all forces from all sides will gather here.
Let me see if there is anyone else who doesn't want to come? ! "
As soon as Yuan Kong said this, all the 'dog-headed military advisors' below nodded in agreement.
A grand master said: "We will take the lead and all parties will jointly do it. Each party has its own thoughts. Under mutual suspicion, they are afraid that they will drag down their own family. In this way, it is very likely that each party will be involved. As for Fang Qi!
Our Tianwei Taoist altar can survive the disaster that we have encountered this time!
If the Red Dragon Master is a fierce dragon, can he be stronger than all the forces joining forces? ! "
"That's exactly what it means!"
"The Altar Master is wise!"
"Heh heh heh... I think the sacrifices for this great feast to worship the gods are the Taoists of Beilu Mountain. The great feast to offer sacrifices to the gods is also a dragon-slaying conference!"
Yuan Kong watched the master who had delivered the news leave in a hurry. Hearing the praise he received from his subordinates, he couldn't help but show a bit of pride. He rubbed his chin gently and smiled without saying a word.
However,
Not long after the master who sent the message left,
The Taoist boy who was responsible for guarding the outer courtyard hurried to the door: "Master! Master of the altar!"
Although the little Taoist boy was wearing a Taoist robe, he was obviously a private slave raised by Yuan Kong, so he called him 'Master'!
"What's up?
What a shame to be in such a panic! "Yuan Kong sat at the main seat with his back leaning on the chair. When he saw the Taoist boy rushing to the door, he was actually a little panicked inside. He thought that the real Chilong had broken through his and others' plan and was about to kill him. But he couldn't show it on his face, so he still showed a majestic attitude and scolded the Taoist boy who had just walked to the door.
The Taoist boy knelt on the ground and said repeatedly: "Master of the Altar - there is a master outside who asked me to send you a message, saying that something is wrong!
The group of Taoist priests from outside have now set up flags and banners in front of the Patriarch's Hall and set up a Dharma altar to open the altar to practice Dharma! "
"Open an altar in front of the Patriarch's Hall to perform rituals?!" Yuan Kong suddenly stood up, with a flustered face, and asked Taotong eagerly, "What kind of altar did they open, and what kind of rituals did they perform?!"
"That Master is right - the memorial tablets of the Patriarchs are on the altar, and the 'Altar of the Patriarch's cessation of karma' is opened, and the 'Karma Illumination Method' is practiced!" The Taoist boy was very alert and carried out the Master's message word for word. It was retold accurately.
"The ancestors have ceased their karma, and their karma has learned from it——"
"A disaster is coming!"
"This is to reflect our karma and use it as evidence to reward good and punish evil!"
"What should we do? What should we do?"
The golden-robed masters who were accustomed to being arrogant and exploiting the common people were all beating their chests and stamping their feet in the central hall as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Yuan Kong's mind was spinning, and under the influence of the panic atmosphere in the hall, his mood became tense. His thoughts flashed again and again, and he suddenly said: "No, no! Even if he wants to reflect the karma on us, he must Only with specific information such as my birth date and horoscope can I submit a report——
How could he possibly know all our birthdays and horoscopes? ! "
All the golden-robed masters were stunned when they heard this.
Before they could react, the Taoist boy outside the door followed: "It seems that a master from the Taoist Altar Department took them directly to the 'Official Order Department' and took away the Taoist altar." "The Book of Tianwei Dao".
Yuan Kong heard the sound,
My mind is blank!
The masters in the central hall were even more panicked, and they all called out for help to Yuan Kong who was slumped on the trough!
"Altar Master, we can no longer stay here!"
"When the founder built the Tianwei Altar, he left behind a secret passage. When the disciples of the younger generation are in trouble, they can activate the secret passage and escape down the mountain - this path is only known by the masters of the altar in the past! Master, where is the secret passage? Where?
Let’s go down the mountain and run for our lives! "
"Don't hesitate any more. After judging the karma, the next step for the Taoists in Beilu Mountain is to arrest us and convict us according to the amount of karma entangled with us!"
All the masters were noisy, their faces full of panic and despair.
Yuan Kong, who was slumped on the low platform, almost followed the drums of the masters and led them to escape to the secret passage of the agency - but at the last moment, his thoughts came back and he suddenly thought: "Master Chilong Zhenren" The disciples set up the Patriarch's Destruction Altar, making it clear that they were going to judge the lawless, reward the good and punish the evil. The other party was not just cutting down mountains and destroying temples, but in a Tianwei Taoist Altar, 70% to 80% of the people had committed crimes. All karma must be punished, and most people will be beheaded and die!
This is equivalent to cutting down mountains and destroying temples!
If Master and Disciple Chi Long succeeds today, at least his own life will definitely not be saved!
They had clearly laid out their carriages and horses, so how could they not expect that someone would escape down the mountain? Maybe he would wait for his family to escape down the mountain so that he could be caught!
at this time,
There is no use running in panic.
You have to think of other ways.
Seeking life from death——"
Yuan Kong slumped on the chair, his mind completely calm.
The shouts and noises of the people around him became farther and farther away from him.
After a while, he suddenly stood up from the squat, his eyes clear again, and he scanned the golden-robed masters below. Under the eager expectation of everyone, he said: "You guys stay here for a while. I'm going to get the key to the secret passage.
Just stay here and don't move around! "
He warned everyone, then walked down the stairs and entered the middle hall that was separated by a screen.
All the gold-robed masters looked at each other in shock, and they all stayed in place, not daring to move.
One by one, they stretched their necks, trying to see through the screen that blocked their sight. After seeing the screen, they saw what the master of the altar was doing. It's a pity that they couldn't do what they wanted. The screen composed of landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings not only blocked their sight, but the peach wood talismans falling from the top of the screen also prevented them from using magic methods to detect the scene behind the screen.
Just a screen separates the nave into two worlds.
In front of the screen,
All the golden-robed masters looked at each other with anxious and frightened expressions, but they had no choice but to wait where they were.
behind the screen,
There is a shrine on the wall.
There is a statue of the ‘Wutong God’ in the shrine.
Under the clay statue of the 'Wutong God', there is a memorial tablet.
‘The eighth generation of the Tianwei Taoist altar, Grand Master ‘Ben Ming’, is the god of the gods’!
Previously placed in the shrine in the hall of the ancestors, in front of the clay statue of Wutong God, was the shrine of the seventh-generation altar master Jinghong of Tianwei Taoist altar. Now in a remote Taoist temple, contemporary In the shrine placed by the master of the altar, Gong Yuankong, the 'Wutong God' is also enshrined. What is placed in front of the statue of the Wutong God is the spiritual tablet of his master, 'Ben Ming'!
There is a faint red candle in front of the shrine, and the fragrance is lingering.
The incense burner is full of incense ashes,
The horizontal wooden board with the pair of candles and the incense burner was wiped clean and shiny. It was obvious that someone came here often to offer incense to the two people in the shrine and clean the shrine.
On both sides below the shrine, two boys of about seven or eight years old stood silently.
The two boys had pale and bluish skin, their pupils were dilated, and there was a scent of incense flowing back and forth between their noses.
The two stood under the shrine, as if they were hidden in the shadows, without any sense of existence. If you don't deliberately 'remember' them, maybe after seeing them at one glance, you will subconsciously look elsewhere the next moment. Ignore the existence of both!
Yuan Kong has worshiped his master here countless times.
The two 'spiritual boys' who serve the shrine were trained by him using secret techniques.
The weirdness of the two will not affect him.
He glanced at the boy on the left. The boy on the left was pale and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He picked up a stick of incense and handed it to Yuan Kong's hand.
The incense stick was not an ordinary incense stick. It was pale and cold to the touch.
Yuan Kong took the incense and lit it on the candle. After bowing respectfully to the shrine, he inserted an incense stick into the incense burner. Immediately, white smoke rose from the incense burner in circles.
Waves of howls dispersed along with the white smoke.
The candles in front of the shrine were fluttering, and the dark red flames covered the entire nave.
The temperature gradually dropped here,
Every time the temperature drops, the expressions of the two boys standing on both sides of the shrine become more lively, more present in people's perception, and their faces become more rosy.
The cold atmosphere spread from the inner hall separated by the screen.
The golden-robed masters in front of the screen all felt the drop in temperature and heard faint sobbing. Everyone's hearts went cold. Because of Yuan Kong's instructions when he left, no one has left the central hall yet.
Everyone looked at each other.
Whispers rang out in the gloomy atmosphere.
"What is the altar master doing behind the screen? Is the key to the secret passage...is behind the screen?"
"Go and take a look. You'll know after you go and see..."
"What's behind the screen?"
"Go and take a look. You'll know after you go and see..."
"Does it take so long to get a key? Is the altar master really going to get the key? He won't leave us and run away, right?"
"Go and have a look, you will know after you go and have a look..."
Every golden-robed master inquires and communicates with the people around him and around him.
All got the same reply.
Advise them to look behind the screen and understand everything at a glance.
But no one really dared to offend the altar leader, so everyone still stood there honestly, and the brief whispers died down. Each golden-robed master looked at the people around him and felt that the other person had too much Some unexplainable 'things'.
Those inexplicable things stood behind everyone, staring at the people opposite.
A strange atmosphere gradually arose in front of the screen.
This atmosphere was like a spider web, clinging to every golden-robed master.
behind the screen,
Yuan Kong took out an old money bag from his arms, and took out a piece of yellow paper rolled up into a ball. When he unfolded the yellow paper, he could see that it was composed of several different Yunji characters outlined and superimposed on each other. The formed 'talisman'.
If Su Wu were here,
he would be able to tell at a glance that this talisman was formed by the five Yunji characters in Wutongshen's mouth overlapping each other!
Yuan Kong lit the yellow talisman and muttered to himself: "My disciple is in trouble. Please take out the third 'Yingzhen Talisman' and ask Master Yingzhen to show his spirit to help me out of my predicament..."
