Chapter 11 The Demon King of the Six Heavens, the Eight Ghosts
The head of Qingxuan was in seclusion for a year. Shortly after he came out of seclusion this time, he convened a meeting of elders at the Patriarch's Hall in Qingcheng Mountain to discuss the teachings on the futon with Qingshi, Qingpu, Qingxiao, Qingmiao, Qingchi, Qingshuo and other elders.
All things.
Taoist priest Qingmiao lifted his fly whisk and asked: "Master, I saw a sad look on your face when you came out of seclusion this time. What are you worried about?"
Taoist Master Qingxuan twirled his long beard with his hand and said to him: "There have been many strange phenomena in Shushan recently, which may not be peaceful! I wonder if you can feel it?"
Taoist Master Qingchi replied: "What the master said is absolutely true. When I was practicing at Cuiying Lake in Qingcheng recently, the originally clear lake water often became muddy and turbid, with a fishy smell. I'm afraid that within a hundred miles of Qingcheng Mountain,
Soon there will be subsidence and floods, and there will be a great plague after the disaster. If we don't respond in time, I don't know how many people will die."
When all the Taoist priests heard this, they started discussing and telling what they saw and felt.
Taoist Master Qingxuan let out a long sigh: "I don't know if you have noticed that in recent times, in the Netherworld Valley in the back mountain, you often hear shrill ghost calls after the third watch. After I came out of seclusion, I went to the Ghost Oath Platform and the Ghost Boundary Monument several times to explore the abyss in the valley.
Dark red flames are faintly visible everywhere. When you lean down and stare into the abyss, you feel a creepy feeling. As the saying goes, you are staring into the abyss, and the abyss is also staring at you. The old saying goes: before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos, and the world has been settled before Shu. Since ancient times, Shu Mountain has been
It is the wind direction of heaven and earth, the boundary between Yin and Yang, life and death. Now the Yang Qi in Shushan is decreasing, and the Yin Qi is rising. I am worried that after a hundred years, the six demon kings and eight ghost commanders are ready to move, and the demons and ghosts will come out to cause trouble again!"
The Taoist priests looked at each other, and Taoist priest Qingya said: "I teach Taiping Sutra, it is recorded that in July of the second year of Han'an, the founder of Daoling climbed Qingcheng Mountain, fought against eight ghost commanders, fought against all demon kings, and subdued heretic demons.
, to eradicate evil and hypocrisy. Patriarch Daoling was so proficient in Taoism that he was invincible to all demons. He knelt down and surrendered, and was willing to convert to the righteous way. Therefore, Patriarch Daoling ordered ghosts and gods from five directions, eight tribes and six heavens to make an oath under the Yellow Emperor's altar in Qingcheng Mountain.
In the world of the sun, ghosts live in the underworld. Patriarch Daoling imprisoned the Six Heavenly Demon Kings in the capital city of Beiyin and exiled the eight ghost commanders to the borders of the Western Regions. From then on, the demons surrendered and the people lived in peace and contentment. Is it possible that the demon king and ghost commanders will renege on their oaths and cause trouble again?
"
Taoist Priest Qingxuan said: "Taoist Priest Qingchen is good at celestial phenomena. Please share it with your brothers and sisters."
Taoist Priest Qingchen said: "According to the master's instructions, I often watch the sky at night. In recent days, the three stars of Qisha, Greedy Wolf, and Pojun have been shining in the three directions and four directions in the Ming Palace, forming a "Kill, Poo, Wolf" pattern.
The Seven Killing Star is a thief who disrupts the world. The Pojun Star is a general who dominates the world. The Greedy Wolf Star is a treacherous and deceitful person. Once these three stars come together, the world will definitely change hands and it is irreversible! In terms of this celestial phenomenon,
In the next three to five years, there will be a catastrophe in the Central Plains, and the Tang Dynasty is in danger!"
After hearing this, all the Taoist priests took a deep breath and waited for the leader's instructions.
Taoist Master Qingxuan looked solemnly, looked around the crowd, and said: "The way of heaven is impermanent and cannot be changed by human beings. But it is our duty to help the world and save people. Our Taoist tradition is that we are usually quiet and inactive, and we are indifferent to fame and fortune. But in troubled times, I
Taoist disciples of all generations must go out of the mountain to save the people from fire and water. In view of this, all brothers and sisters are asked to take separate actions: First of all, the elders of Qingcheng have recently gone down from the mountain to contact the nine sects of Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, and Kongtong to bring Shushan to Shushan.
The vision informs. Please make preparations for each sect. In the past two years, you must strengthen disciple training and select elites under your sect. If a disaster occurs, be ready to go down the mountain at any time to help the world and save people. Secondly, contact all sects in Shu to prepare medicinal herbs and brew them.
Distribute the decoction and medicine to the people at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the plague; finally, arrange for Qingcheng disciples to monitor Netherworld Valley around the clock, and if there is any change, immediately inform the elders of the sect."
All the elders stood up and bowed their heads: "Promise, I will obey the master's will."
