There is a hole in the mountain

There are three most "famous" in Xijing City.The first "famous" is Shanming, there are many mountains outside the city, the mountains are not high, or there are streams, springs and strange rocks, and the scenery is always unique; Xing, trees are planted on both sides of the river.In spring, the peach blossoms are on the shore, in summer, the trees are full of shade, in autumn, yellow leaves are flying, and in winter, after a few days of cold, you can see the plum blossoms are bright red. At that time, the snow-white plum red is extremely beautiful.The third "famous" is that there are no ghosts in the ghost alley, and the osmanthus alley is full of osmanthus.

Needless to mention the other two places, the origin of this ghost alley alone is the most fascinating.When you mention it, you have to go back.It is said that "Xijing" was the accompanying capital established by the first emperor after the opening of the dynasty. It was originally the capital of the previous dynasty, called Zhongdu.Ghost Lane is not called "Ghost Lane", but the private residence of Jiang's family in the former Min Dynasty.

Wei Peiliu, Jiang Yangdu, Jiang's family is one of the six major clans, it is a hairpin family.During the reign of Min Yongtai, the Jiang family first had a daughter who married into the royal family and gave birth to a prince who was named Concubine Shu.For a time, the Jiang family was greatly favored by the emperor, and their power was overwhelming.Five or six years later, after the old Duke Jiang passed away, his son Jiang Chao came to the throne.This Jiang Chao has a long history of family education, has read poetry and books, has a refined temperament, and is said to have the talent of a unicorn.Jiang Chao has 15 brothers and sisters, most of whom are concubines.There is a sister who has a single mother, married into the royal family, and has a noble status, not to mention.But there is only one direct brother under him, named Yong, who is ten years younger than him.Ranked seventh among brothers in the family, the whole family calls him "Qilang".

Jiang Qilang is born intelligent, he can master every point as soon as he learns it, and he is proficient in all literary and martial arts.It is said that he has the talent of "writing a thousand words and relying on a horse to wait".Known as a child prodigy. At the age of 16, she was in high school and was famous all over the capital.It's just that people rely on their talents and are proud of things, and they can't understand the customs of the world.Jiang Chao personally named it "Yi'an" in small characters.It is hoped that Shichiro can "be calm in mind and calm in appearance".

Jiang Yong didn't take this elder brother's prudence seriously, but thought his elder brother was pedantic, cowardly and spineless.I secretly made some like-minded friends and colleagues, and complained about the government's inaction because of the extravagant atmosphere of the dynasty.He often calls himself a "hero in troubled times", and because of his name Yong, it is said in "Er Ya" that "the big bell is called Yong".Therefore, I vowed to ring the alarm bell loudly, to deafen the deaf, to arouse the hearing, and to rectify the government.

If we say that in the past, Jiang Yong was just a child in charge.Say some extreme words, do some impulsive things, the world just thinks it is the words of youthful enthusiasm, dandyism, just laugh and sigh.But now, Jiang Yong is Tanhua Lang handpicked by the imperial court, and he is also a descendant of an aristocratic family.As soon as his words spread and were heard by interested people, it became a wake-up call.Therefore, those high-ranking rivals of the Jiang family took advantage of Jiang Yong's remarks to make a big fuss, saying that the Jiang family vainly discussed government affairs, looked down on the throne, and tried to abolish the crown prince in order to establish the eleven princes born to Concubine Jiang Shu.

In a rage, Emperor Mourning ordered Jiang Chao to be dismissed from office, and Jiang Yong beheaded for public display.Jiang Chao got wind of it in advance, hid Jiang Yong in advance, and bought a young man who looked like Jiang Yong to die in Jiang Yong's place.

Jiang Chao thought well.Wouldn't it be beautiful to find Jiang Yong a place high on the mountain far away from the emperor to stay quietly, hide his name, marry a wife and have children for a stable life, and stay away from the disputes of the court.It's a pity that Jiang Yong has a youthful heart, a youthful spirit, and a self-proclaimed temperament that is superior to the sky. How can he understand his brother's painstaking efforts?He stayed in the country, unable to reflect on his mistakes, but instead complained about his elder brother's cowardice and incompetence, and lamented that his own ambitions could not be fulfilled.He would rather stand up and die for the truth, than he is like now, a wimpy man trying to save his life.He doesn't care about any family or life.He is not reconciled, he just wants to prove himself immediately.He is a strong grass under the strong wind, and a loyal minister in the rough.When his elder brother didn't help him, he secretly started to contact the group of like-minded friends from before, and he was better than Wei Zheng, Han Xin and Wu Zixu.Vow to prove himself to the Lord.

Just like that, three months later.The fact that Jiang Chao privately bought someone to replace Jiang Yong was suddenly reported.Jiang Chao and Jiang Yong were beheaded for public display. Among the children in the family, the men were exiled to the south of the Five Ridges to guard the border, and the women served as official prostitutes.

Seeing his brothers, nephews and nephews splashing blood on the street, Jiang Yi'an couldn't help feeling resentful as the blood in his chest was let down.

After his death, the resentment persisted, and the hostility was rampant.He refuses to eat human sacrifices, is not exalted by Buddhism, and for some unknown reason, he was caught by the skill of sucking violence and eating resentment, and after a hundred days, he turned into a fierce ghost.Taking advantage of the soaring Yin Qi on the day of July and a half, they rushed into Xijing City.

All of a sudden, there was a sudden wailing in the alley, and the cloudy wind suddenly stirred up dust and rocks. In the flying dust, a red-eyed boy was soaked in blood, and flew into the midair of Xijing city with his head up and laughing wildly.In a fit of rage, he randomly swallowed the souls of more than a thousand people inside and outside the city.

In an instant, the city was overcast and cloudy, and everyone could hear the cries and wailing of ghosts.Emperor Mourning invited dozens of mages to open the altar to drive away ghosts. The ritual was done for three days, but to no avail.Most of the residents in the city died, and blood poured down from the sky. Jiang Yian suddenly appeared in the palace, bleeding from the tips of his teeth, and shouted: "Give me back my life."

At this moment, outside the hell-like hall of Asura, a great monk walked in.With a broad face and thick lips, his ten fingers are knotted with lotus flowers, and he calls himself "Kong Kong".

The monk's robe on his body was torn and torn by the wind, barely hanging on his body, and in order to cover his body, he put on a suit of onyx indiscriminately.The body is thin, and the corners of the clothes are blown around by the hunting wind, and it seems that there is a possibility of flying away by the wind at any time.While running, he limped on one leg, leaning on a branch, and walked step by step with difficulty.The expression is solemn and the steps are firm.Jiang Yongjiang was overwhelmed by the holiness of this great monk, and for a moment he didn't know why.

The Great Monk Kongkong walked up to Jiang Yong, clasped his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

Jiang Yong laughed angrily, neither listened nor explained.The bloody mouth devoured a lot of souls.The great monk sighed, and without wasting much time, he picked up a knife from the field while reciting the "Curse of Rebirth".Without warning, a knife was stabbed in his chest.When the knife went down, blood gushed out.With a calm expression, the great monk drew out his knife, and stabbed it several times in his chest as if unwilling to do so.

The place where his blood spewed was like a gravel road washed by heavy rain, and the hostility was completely dissipated.The blood splashed onto Jiang Yong's body, like a steel knife splitting his body in half, half of which was his original three souls and seven souls, and fell weakly to the ground.The other half is the hostility and resentment absorbed and accumulated over a hundred years.

Thousands of souls who had been devoured by innocence escaped from his soul body one after another, rushing up to lick the blood when they encountered it.The great monk's body suddenly emitted a radiant light, and a huge lotus flower appeared out of thin air, and then disappeared quickly.After the lotus flower appeared, the resentment dissipated, the living soul returned to its place, and it was clear.

Since then, the great monk Kongkong lived alone in the ghost alley, burning incense and chanting sutras, day and night.Strange things inside and outside the ghost alley never happened again.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the second year of Kaitai.In Xijing City, the massacre of ghosts in the city has become a story. However, in the ghost alleys outside the city, the sound of monk Kongkong's wooden fish can be heard day by day.Another sweet-scented osmanthus moon, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus was suddenly heard in the city of Xijing, and everyone looked for the fragrance to find the ghost alley.Only then did I discover that there were hundreds of osmanthus trees planted in the ghost alley, and the great monk himself sat under the osmanthus tree at some point.

Since then, every August, there are clouds of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the ghost alley, and the air is full of sweet fragrance, which has become a veritable "Osmanthus Alley".There are many tourists who come here admiringly inside and outside the city.Later generations built a tomb for the great monk at the place where he sat down.There is no inscription at all, only the word "empty" in the book.People call it "empty stele".

"If that's the case, why is Qilang still stranded in the human world, refusing to reincarnate?" He Xiu asked puzzledly, patting the empty tablet.

Yunyi shook his head and said, "Jiang Yong's three souls and seven souls were sent to the Fengdu Underworld by Senior Brother Yunlan who rushed over at that time. Only then did he know that his elder brother Jiang Chao practiced with Emperor Fengdu in the form of a ghost. No. Yunlan."

He Xiu was shocked, "Daoist Yunlan is Qilang's elder brother? Why did Qilang not recognize him in Guzhang, and the Taoist wanted to arrest him?"

Yunyi continued to preach.

Emperor Fengdu did not embarrass Jiang Yong, but kept him by his side on business.Another hundred years later, the war in the six realms was initially decided, and because of his outstanding talent, he was able to take charge of the first palace.Feng Qin Guangwang.It specializes in life and death in the human world, manages the good and bad of the nether world, and guides and guides the exaltation of good people when they die.

And the hostility from Jiang Yong escaped from Xijing City and sneaked into the ancient battlefield of the Six Paths War.After absorbing tens of thousands of suffocation, resentment, and countless unjust souls, it gradually grew stronger and became a ghost.After the War of the Six Paths ended, after a hundred years of tossing around in the Six Paths, Gui Li sneaked into the Evil Ghost Dao and collected a group of plague ghosts and plague gods who were trapped in the Evil Ghost Dao. However, after another hundred years, he became a restless force.

In the past 50 years, the six realms have been peaceful, and Emperor Fengdu has also relaxed the restraint on the evil ghosts, turning a blind eye to them and allowing them to go in and out of the six realms for food.

Finally, one day, the ghostly spirit cultivated by the hostile spirit crossed the barrier of evil ghosts and came back to the human world.Holding a bamboo umbrella, he walked into a jewelry store.As soon as I entered the door, I looked left and right in front of all kinds of jewelry, and never left for a long time.

The shopkeeper behind the counter asked courteously, "What kind of accessories does Mr. Xiao Lang want to buy?"
