[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

The Twelve Yaksha Gods sneaked into the vicinity of Lulan Mountain to survey the earth's atmosphere, and drew a map of the direction of the land veins and the trend of the dark river to travel back to Montenegro. dark hands.

On a low hill not far from Lulan Mountain, an evil ghost with a green face and fangs stood on the hill. He sank slowly into the mountain, found a mountain bone, and inserted a locust tree branch on the mountain bone.In an instant, the Sophora japonica branch pulled out its roots, and the dense and long roots spread along the mountain bone and entangled on the mountain bone.

The bones of the mountain are the bones of the mountain. In the strongest part of the mountain, trees grow in the soil, but the soil is soft. Only through the bones of the mountain can we avoid natural disasters.

At the same time, soil and wood grow together, the mountain bone provides support for the tree, and the tree supports the mountain bone for vitality.Earth and trees grow together, and they are originally one.

The evil ghost planted a locust tree branch, then left the soil, looking for the next place with abundant earth energy.In the practice of human fighting, it is nothing more than sending out the power from oneself or from the world.Human power is sometimes exhausted, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite.

Taoist Erchun is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?The ultimate path is to go to the heaven and earth of borrowing the law.

There are countless lands in the land of Lulan, Huaixu occupies one more, and Daoist Erchun occupies one less.Huai Xu dispatched Yasha deity to turn into an evil spirit to occupy the earth's air, just like a spider weaving a web, spreading out the net one by one, and when the east wind arrives, he can catch a turtle in his urn.

Taoist Erchun was suddenly startled.He secretly sneaked into the border of Black Mountain to find out the news, but he missed it for a while, and he didn't dare to show any more traces for a while. He only practiced in Lulan Mountain, but for some reason, he suddenly had a whim.The deeper the practice, the less this kind of situation will happen. Once it happens, it must be related to one's luck.

It's just that the whim only lasted for a moment, and Taoist Erchun was already occupied by the next thought before he could turn it around. After all, he didn't seize this chance.

Taoist Erchun got up and left his hut, turned around and walked towards the top of Lulan Mountain.Lulan Mountain is full of rocks, strange rocks, and few vegetation. It is so barren that it cannot be barren.There is no water in the deep ditch of the mountain stream, only bones piled up, some people or beasts, it is bleak.Walking to the top of the mountain, there is a large hall, which vaguely has the structure of the ancient temple of the previous dynasty, but it has not been dilapidated for a long time. Instead, it is like a living thing, absorbing the earth's energy in the mountain, breathing in and out, as if... alive.

The Lulan ghost king was resting in the hall. Not long after Zhongyuan, the full ghost king was digesting the grievances in his belly. With each breath, he gradually merged with the rhythm of the hall without distinguishing each other.

Taoist Erchun's figure stopped in the dark night, the expression on his face was blurred, his eyes revealed a sarcasm and cruelty.

The lights in Lanruo Temple were faint, and in the quiet night, the faint green flames swayed in the temple.

Huai Xu walked in the temple carrying a ghost lantern.The collapsed main hall and damaged stone carvings were covered with moss and vines. Except for a few monk houses and courtyards that were still usable, there was nothing else.Earlier, the little monster was ordered to clean up, which enlarged the ruined temple a lot.

Huai Xu was walking very slowly, stopping from time to time.The temples in this area, where the incense was at its peak, declined too quickly. Standing in the temple, Huai Xu always felt that he could still smell the incense, and there seemed to be the voice of chanting the Diamond Sutra next to his ears.

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. They are like dew and electricity, so they should be viewed as such..."

As if the fire was still burning, as if there were still death and tragic scenes changing before his eyes, Huai Xu lowered his head and chanted the "Ksitigarbha Sutra".

Bai Xianzhi sat on the branch, not saying a word, the bright moon was soft, his breath gradually merged with the moonlight.Sitting not far away, even though his eyes were not looking, he could still feel the sadness in the ancient temple, just like the gradually getting colder weather, with a bit of desolation.

How many flowers in this world are blooming like brocades, like cooking oil in a raging fire, and finally gradually die in time.In time, nothing lasts forever.

The ghost-fire lantern Huai Xu was carrying had no warmth, illuminating the reptiles in the crevices of the rocks, a thin-tailed scorpion clamped its pincers, crawled over Huai Xu's instep, and gradually crawled away in the faint firelight.

Huai Xu put the lantern on the big head of Medicine Buddha. The small flowers growing from Medicine Buddha's nostrils have withered, but the fruit is gradually ripening.

Huai Xu gazed into the distance, and said softly, "That's it, I've become it too." Although he was still waiting for Chun Lei to be reborn, his realm had already quietly passed the threshold of immortality and entered the next stage of cultivation.

A difference of one step is like a moat.Immortals practice art, earth immortals practice dharma, and gods cultivate Taoism. Only when they reach the heavenly immortals can they be said to have attained the Tao.Now it's just one thought to realize the Dharma, and Huai Xu has also stepped into the threshold of the earth immortal.

Bai Xianzhi sensed Huai Xu's breath floating around him, like a tidal wave. After reaching the peak, he circled for a while, then fell down again, and disappeared in his perception, as if he was flying in the dark without leaving a trace.

Bai Xianzhi's eyes widened all of a sudden, he knew that Huai Xu's talent was outstanding, but how long did it take to transform from a ghost immortal to a human immortal, and how long did it take to step into an earth immortal?Could it be that there is really a so-called luck in this world?Even though the old demon of Montenegro has seen big wind and waves, he can't help but find it hard to understand at this moment.

From a human immortal to an earth immortal, the transformation from art to Tao requires not only talent and understanding, but also chance, but it seems to be a matter of course for Huai Xu, so natural.

What the hell!

Huai Xu's mana surged all over his body, from the ancestral orifice to the whole body, and then from the whole body back to the ancestral orifice, and repeated this three times, turning into a clear spring in the sea of ​​consciousness, ding ding dong dong, swimming through all the limbs and bones, and did not move again.A ball of golden yellow steamed up on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Plate, and all the crimson cinnabar on the mirror surface peeled off, turning into streaks of mana and merging into Huai Xu's body, and that was it.

Earth immortals, or land immortals.An earth immortal, no matter where it is placed, is a role like a feudal official.Wushui Shuijun is in charge of the eight Wu water sources and is an Earth Immortal. The Great City God of Jinhua Mansion is in charge of the land of a mansion and is also an Earth Immortal rank.

Becoming an Earth Immortal is fundamentally different from a Human Immortal.No one knew that an Earth Immortal was born in a dilapidated temple on this small mountain.

The moment he became an Earth Immortal, Huai Xu's sense of his own karma increased a lot, and the lines showed many scenes like a horse watching flowers. He only had time to take a look, and fell out of this kind of mystery.

That's all for the rest, but there is a line of karma jumping out very clearly, obviously I will meet him soon.

On the way from Shangdu to Jinhua, a convoy was driving on the official road.The carts were pulled by BMWs from the Western Regions. There were five horse-drawn carriages. The first carriage was filled with people, and the last four carriages were full of goods.

The convoy consisted of more than a dozen guards, with their temples bulging high, and they were all masters of martial arts.Putting these people in the rivers and lakes, they are all powerful, but here, they have become guards guarding the goods.

The curtain of the first carriage was lifted suddenly, and a well-dressed old man lifted the curtain and asked, "Guard Jiang, how many days are left until you arrive in Jinhua?"

Jiang Huwei went forward to report respectfully, and said, "Thank you, butler, there are still two and a half days to go."

"Two and a half days." Steward Xie squinted his eyes and lowered the curtain, and the voice came through the curtain: "Hurry up, don't miss the important thing, otherwise, you can't afford it."

Jiang Huwei didn't dare to make a sound at all. Even though he was excellent in martial arts, he didn't dare to make trouble in front of Steward Xie, because Steward Xie's carriage had the imprint of the Shen family on it, and because Steward Xie himself didn't tolerate Offended monastics.

Cultivator, these four words have already opened a gap between them.It's like a moat that cannot be crossed.

Guard Jiang scolded, and the entire convoy accelerated again, speeding towards Jinhua.

The two-day journey, without sleeping and recuperation, arrived in a flash.When the carriage drove into Jinhua Mansion, there was already a lot of celebration.

On August [-]th, the Dragon King Sacrifice and the three-day Dragon King Temple fair, the celebration has already begun.

Among the bustling crowd, Yingying Yanyan is also indispensable.The girls, who rarely come out to breathe, are dressed up in fancy clothes, accompanied by servants, and play at the temple fair.

Huai Xu, who was surrounded by more than a dozen beauties, gave a wry smile, waved his hands, and said, "Go and play by yourself, be careful and safe."

Xiao Die said: "They are together, it is a blessing not to trouble others."

Huai Xu said: "Xiao Die can go too, you don't have to accompany me." Huai Xu's eyes were gentle and encouraging, Xiao Die looked at Xiao Sang who was waving at her, and her heart was also moved.

Xiaodie blessed her body and said: "I won't serve the young master anymore."

The girls love beauty, and they have gone to see gouache shops, silk and satin shops, and jewelry shops together. Huai Xu has absolutely no intention of being dragged away, so he and Bai Xianzhi wandered among the crowd.

Bai Xianzhi followed Huai Xu, didn't know what he saw, ran away suddenly, and then came back with two candied haws, the hawthorn fruits were wrapped in crystal red honey, bright and bright red, and the tempting sweetness of the honey was beyond his reach. Can smell refreshing acid.Bai Xianzhi stuffed one into his mouth and handed the other to Huai Xu.

Huai Xu glanced at him, but still took the candied haws, biting into his mouth with a crisp sound, the sweet and sour mixture of sugar coating and pulp lingered on the tip of his tongue.Bai Xianzhi took a peek at Huai Xu, seeing that his face was obviously full of joy and satisfaction, but the corner of his mouth was still showing a restrained and reserved smile.

Huai Xu was a little annoyed at being looked at, and glared at him, but he still smiled shamelessly.

With candied haws in his mouth, Bai Xianzhi looked up and said vaguely, "It's started."

The highlight of the Dragon King Festival has already begun. Four horse-drawn carriages pulled the best nanmu boxes, and the four carts were fully loaded. Several guards and an old man led the horse from the other side of the road.

The highlight of the Dragon Lord Sacrifice is the sacrifice to the Dragon Lord. The sacrifices are all from the Shen family in Shangdu, the Shen family of Shen Yutang, Minister of Rites.

Steward Xie and Guard Jiang led the horses to the Dragon King Temple, circled around the temple three times, and then headed for Wujiang.A pair of masters of ceremonies led the way with their god cards held high, and firecrackers, gongs and drums followed all the way to the riverside.

Huai Xu and Bai Xianzhi followed the crowd, eating sweet and sour candied haws, but their eyes were already on Wujiang.

A spirit awakened from the Wujiang River, silently watching the approaching master of ceremonies.This is Shui Jun's spiritual thought. From the beginning of the Dragon King Sacrifice, an endless stream of incense fell into the Wujiang River like a cloud of smoke. Shui Jun watched the Dragon King Temple and knew the highlight of the sacrifice.

Huai Xu said: "It's such a strong incense, just this one Dragon Lord Sacrifice will give him a lot of harvest."

Bai Xianzhi swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and said: "This is the benefit of the divine way, senior brother is out of luck."

Huai Xu chuckled and said, "Who said that?"

Bai Xianzhi became anxious immediately: "The divine way is easy to enter but difficult to exit. It is obtained from others, but it is also controlled by others. Senior brother has his own way, so why bother to take the narrow way?"

Huai Xu said, "What if I want to go?"

Bai Xianzhi said: "If you want to go, I will go with you. The Yin Chi Talisman is still with me."

Seeing that Bai Xian was in a hurry, Huai Xu stopped teasing him, and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I know it in my heart, and I won't go astray. Look, it's started."

In front of the Wujiang River, the priests of the Dragon King Temple chanted prayers loudly, and the believers bowed down in front of the incense table, and the incense burnt from the incense table soared into the sky.

Huai Xu had no intention of bowing down to Shui Jun, and reached out to grab Bai Xianzhi's hand, using an illusion to disappear from the eyes of the surrounding believers.

Bai Xianzhi was held by him, and he had already obtained his guarantee. He felt a little unhappy, but he didn't resist.

Boxes of offerings were moved to the bamboo rafts, filled with three bamboo rafts, and with the order of the master of ceremonies, the bamboo rafts were pushed into the river.

The bamboo rafts went along the water, and the believers looked forward to seeing the bamboo rafts getting farther and farther away. Suddenly, the water in the middle of the river swirled like a whirlpool, and the three bamboo rafts were engulfed one by one.

"Accepted! Accepted! The Dragon Lord has received the gift!"

Cheers ensued, and the incense burnt down into the Wujiang River like swallows throwing themselves into their arms.

The grand finale of the Dragon King Sacrifice was over, Huai Xu and Bai Xianzhi followed Steward Xie, and followed them to the mansion.Seeing that they were about to go in, Huai Xu took a look at Butler Xie, then turned his gaze and landed on Guard Jiang.With a flick of his fingers, an invisible aura fell on Guard Jiang.

Butler Xie is a person of practice, even if he is not in the top class, it is not safe to use secret hands on him, so it is better to change the target.Besides, a big man who is fierce and fierce is much more pleasing to the eye than a shriveled old man.
