"Since Taoist friend can't sleep, and I can't sleep either, why don't you and I go out of body together tonight to explore the reality of the Yinyi River Dragon King Terrace?"
Facing the invitation sent by the abbot of Bailong Temple, Jin An's head was filled with surprise.
"Why did the abbot think of going to Longwang Terrace today?" Jin An asked.
Amitabha.
The abbot of Bailong Temple still clasped his hands in front of his chest, shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "During these days when I was framed by my fellow disciples and imprisoned in the dungeon, I didn't expect that so many great things happened in the city. Just today, when I was rescued from the dungeon,
, someone handed a letter to Lao Na."
"That letter was sent to Bailong Temple by Master Fu Yin yesterday. When the civil strife in Bailong Temple was quelled today, this letter was found in Huichang's house and then handed over to Lao Na."
"The content of the letter is generally that Master Fu Yin plans to gather all kinds of capable people and experts within these two days to put an end to the Dragon King case."
"So I want to go to Longwangtai in person to explore the reality of the Yinyi River so that I can make some preparations in advance."
After finishing speaking, the abbot of Bailong Temple smiled and said: "Originally, I was a little worried about this trip. I am afraid that the road ahead to Longwangtai this time will be a bit dangerous. I just didn't expect to meet Taoist Jin'an outside the temple.
, this is really an unexpected surprise.”
"There is no doubt about the superb ability of fellow Taoist Jin'an. If fellow Taoist Jin'an helps, great things can happen tonight, so I would like to shamelessly invite fellow Taoist Jin'an to go to Dragon King Terrace with me."
"If you really talk about it, I am also taking advantage of fellow Taoist Jin'an."
The abbot of Bailong Temple spoke highly of Jin An.
Ahem, Jin An was so praised by the abbot that he blushed and felt embarrassed. Fortunately, he was in an out-of-body state and there were no capillaries on his face to make him blush and look embarrassed.
However, Jin An was indeed somewhat interested in the proposal of the abbot of Bailong Temple.
Just thinking that Longwangtai was dozens of miles away from Fucheng by water, Jin An hesitated a little.
At this moment.
A spiritual voice sounded in Jin An's head, and Jin An looked surprised.
He saluted and thanked the golden Buddha statue, and then agreed to the invitation of the abbot of Bailong Temple.
Master Huizhen in the Buddha statue just now promised him that if Jin An can trust him and Bailong Temple, Jin An can entrust the safety of the Five Zang Taoist Temple to him and Bailong Temple.
Master Huizhen is here, and the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is there.
Jin An had confidence in Master Huizhen and the abbot of Bailong Temple, because anyone with evil intentions or those who had evil intentions against him would not dare to look him in the eye.
The two people in front of him treated him calmly and had sincere eyes, which showed that both of them were eminent monks who acted aboveboard.
With Master Huizhen's promise, Jin An, who had already been curious about Longwang Terrace and Dragon King Temple, immediately agreed to the invitation from the abbot of Bailong Temple.
Subsequently, a Taoist priest in five-color robes and the Sakyamuni Buddha image of a cassocked monk flew together under the dark night sky to the Yinyi River Dragon King Terrace dozens of miles away.
But Jin An is a little curious.
Dragon King Terrace is hundreds of miles away from Fucheng by water, and even the straight-line distance is tens of miles away. How did the abbot of Bailong Temple in front of me travel such a long distance at night after his soul left his body?
Because he had the Six Ding Liu Jia Talisman that was consecrated three times, he had tried it before. His current limit for night travel is probably about a hundred miles.
soon.
Jin An got the answer.
The abbot of Bailong Temple in front of him is holding a Buddhist treasure, which is a string of Sakyamuni Zen beads.
One of the Zen beads is particularly large and engraved with the Buddhist swastika.
The abbot of Bailong Temple clasped his hands in front of his chest, twirled the Zen beads, and recited Buddhist sutras. The Buddha's light was shining brightly on the Zen beads. Together with him, he rode the wind and waves, ten feet above the ground, and went out for a night swim outside Xiangfu City.
"Abbot, can I"
As soon as the soul left the city, the river wind was roaring and the wind was strong.
After dark, the sound of waves in the Yinyi River is overwhelming, and a large amount of Yin evil vapor carries the sharp wind on the river, sweeping across in all directions, which can hurt people's souls.
Fortunately, the abbots of Jin'an and Bailong Temple are not ordinary people. One is a powerful Buddhist monk who is the abbot of the temple, and the other is a self-reliant protector of the twelve Shinto souls, so in the eyes of ordinary people, Jiang Feng and Shihan can fall into the spirit of others.
Water vapor, in the eyes of the two of them, was something commonplace.
As long as you don't think too hard and the soul doesn't take the initiative to dive under the water, and doesn't take the initiative to touch the Yinsha mysterious water, it won't cause any real harm to the soul.
After leaving Fucheng, one by one the souls of monks floated along the river bank in the direction of Longwang Terrace.
But at this time, they passed by the place where the bride, the Goddess of Water, was fished ashore during the day yesterday.
Jin An was surprised to see a young girl in a red wedding dress floating on the river at night.
"Is there another village upstream that is offering sacrifices to the Yinyi River to marry the Dragon King to the Water Goddess?"
Jin An frowned in displeasure.
"Fellow Taoist Jin'an, let's go over and take a look."
The abbot of Bailong Temple couldn't bear to pronounce the Buddha's name and said to Jin'an.
Jin An nodded, and when they got closer, they realized that this was not a corpse, but actually a soul. The woman's soul was floating motionless under the water, but she refused to leave.
Jin An was surprised.
"Abbott, why do I feel that this woman's age and appearance are so similar to the Water Goddess who was fished out of the river by the government yesterday?"
"Could this soul belong to the Water Goddess who was fished out of the river yesterday?"
Water is not only a road to the underworld, which can carry people to the underworld, but it is also a mysterious evil spirit, which can trap the souls of the dead and prevent the dead who fell into the water and died in vain from running ashore to cause trouble.
Because people who drown in water either commit suicide or die in vain. Death in vain is full of resentment. Suicide is also caused by the intrigues of people's hearts.
Therefore, people who drown in water are more likely to escape and cause trouble.
That's why Jin An made the above guess.
He speculated that the soul could not catch up with the body. After the body was salvaged ashore, the soul was still trapped in the water, so it lingered in place and refused to leave.
"Amitabha, I heard someone mention some of the recent events in Fucheng today, and I have some impressions of the Water Goddess who was salvaged from the shore yesterday."
The abbot of Bailong Temple pondered for a moment and continued: "Why don't we temporarily collect the soul of the female donor today? After confirming the provincial branch of the Water Goddess tomorrow, if it is really the same person, we will collect the female donor's soul.
The soul of the dead returns to the body again."
"These three souls and seven souls cannot find their bones. They are like duckweeds without roots. A wanderer who has left home will only end up as a lonely ghost. He will die with his eyes closed and a resentment stuck in his throat. But with this mouthful
As long as resentment exists, people will not be able to be reincarnated, and they will never enter reincarnation in every life."
"This female benefactor was also a miserable person. She was in a sea of ​​misery, but she couldn't help it. She was also harmed by others. She died unwillingly. It is pitiful enough. There is no need to be a lonely ghost. Amitabha.
"
Jin An naturally had no objection to the proposal of the abbot of Bailong Temple.
Then, I saw the abbot of Bailong Temple next to me, taking out a copper bowl with a swastika engraved on it from the wide cuffs of his cassock.
"Amitabha."
"When will the injustice be repaid?"
"Donors should not be obsessed with anything, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."
The abbot of Bailong Temple squatted down on the bank of the river, holding the cuff of his cassock with one hand, and holding the swastika-shaped copper bowl in his other hand, and gently scooped the river water.
Something strange happened.
The swastika-shaped copper bowl seems to be as big as it can accommodate all rivers. It seems small in size, but when it scoops out the river water, the river water and the soul are collected into the swastika-shaped copper bowl.
Jin An looked at the scene in front of him with strange eyes.
In the swastika-shaped copper bowl, the clear water reflects the bright moon above the head. The swastika-shaped copper bowl is obviously only the size of two or three palms, but it feels like the bright moon is shining on the quiet ancient pool, giving people the impression that the ancient pool has been polished by the years.
There are no traces, but the soul of the young woman floats quietly in the ancient pool.
It seems that Bailong Temple has a really rich heritage.
Even Buddhist magical instruments can be brought out by the soul.
After collecting the dead souls in the water, the abbot of Bailong Temple put the swastika-shaped copper bowl into the cuffs of his cassock. It seemed that the eminent monk was not worried that the water in the swastika-shaped copper bowl would overturn.
Then the two continued their night tour along the river.
At this time, the river bank was completely dark and as quiet as the gates of hell. The river surface was deep and pitch-black. The water was generally 10 to 20 feet deep, and even reached 40 to 50 feet deep at the deepest point.
Therefore, the moonlight reflected on the vast river surface was swallowed up by the deep river water, and there was not even a sparkling reflection from the water.
"According to the past, the traffic of various ships on the river in Fucheng was dense and prosperous. Even after midnight, there was still an endless stream of passenger ships and merchant ships on the river. The docks were even brighter than daylight. The porters and oxcarts were busy all day long.
To be continued...
