Chapter 67 Human Umbrella Slaying Demons and Eliminating Demons
Gloomy wood refers to the fact that trees are washed down due to external elements, such as earthquakes, floods, etc., and then buried in the river. After brewing in the mud and sand for thousands of years, the trees have become carbonized and become black all over. It is one of the most spiritual woods known to be the most valuable.
Due to the different materials of gloomy wood, it is divided into different levels. From the perspective of warding off evil spirits, the best material should be gloomy wood that has been struck by lightning. This kind of wood is one of the best materials for making magic weapon suppression.
At that time, the five large wooden boxes that Fa Yan ordered people to carry into the hall were all made of gloomy wood. You must know that gloomy wood is hard to come by. Perhaps only this rich southern country can find so many precious woods. Seeing that the box was filled with a golden lock demon-subduing pestle, it seems that these wooden boxes should be some kind of magic weapon to suppress evil spirits, but what exactly is it installed?
So, Master Xingdian said to the monk Fayan: "Master Fayan, please make clear the rules of this bureau."
All the six monks of Yunlong smiled, but saw the monk Fayan in the hall touching a gloomy wooden box, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, please listen to my monk's words. Since the demon star appeared in the world more than 20 years ago, in this chaotic world, there were monsters everywhere. Although the blessing of Your Majesty and Buddha in our southern country was able to be stable, the great world still caused countless pitiful believers to suffer undesirable disasters. In order to spread Buddhism and save the people, our Yunlong monks sent their disciples to travel around the sky to descend and subdue demons. My Buddha's blessing has been a little effective in recent years. Please see."
Having said this, Fa Yan pointed to the gloomy wooden boxes and said, "There are so great in the world that there are many demons and evil things that my disciples cannot completely eliminate, so they sealed them all in the box. Today, the Dharma Assembly happened to meet the Bodhisattva who showed the holy clouds, and the Taoist priest who transformed into Doumi Temple was also a guest here. The opportunity is rare, so the monk dared to ask Your Majesty to save these chaotic things in front of the palace."
"Supreat?" After hearing the origin of these boxes, the monarch's interest was once again aroused, so he said to Fayan: "What method should the national master say about the salvation?"
"Amitabha." Fa Yan said: "Of course, it is to be the first to be the palace. In the case of ensuring that the things in the box will not hurt Your Majesty and all the lords, the demons and monsters in these five boxes will be saved. Both parties will choose to remove the three first, or if the party cannot eliminate the demons, it will be considered a loss. Master Xingdian, do you think?"
Taoist Master Xingdian stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Subduing demons and eliminating demons is a matter of my generation, but who should choose this choice more appropriate?"
Master Xingdian felt like a mirror in his heart. All fools knew that this was the territory of these monks, and the title was made by them, and the box was also theirs, so they naturally knew what was contained in these boxes.
According to the strict rules of law, the five boxes should contain some amazing monsters or monsters, and monsters are also divided into strengths and weaknesses, so this choice is really unfair to them.
And then the monk Fayan seemed to have thought that Master Xingdian would ask this, but he said, "Master, don't worry, since these five wooden boxes are from my temple, in order to avoid suspicion, your disciple will choose wooden boxes for both parties. Is it okay?"
This method is good. Master Xingdian turned his head and looked at Li Hanshan. Li Hanshan smiled awkwardly at him. Although he didn't know what the monk was trying to do, he knew in his heart that the burden on him was too heavy.
The monks' drawings are getting more and more cruel. Now they have moved all the monsters out and they have to eliminate demons in this hall. You must know that although the hall is spacious, there is still great danger. Damn, that stupid emperor is still in high spirits and does not understand who gave him the courage. And those ministers who are watching the fun, like a fool, why do they trust those monks so much?
You should know that if there is a little accident, how many people will die? Although these people are all fools, they are power-up. If there is any accident, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the emperor is unlucky... the world will be in chaos.
Damn it, why is this happening? Li Hanshan's mind became very confused, but at this moment, Master Xingdian patted his shoulder. As the two eyes met, Master Xingdian whispered: "Adapt to the situation, I'm fine."
Li Hanshan saw that Master Xingdian had a serious look in his eyes, and this expression he had never seen before, but he had already understood it now. Although this uncle is idle on weekdays, he is extremely reliable.
So he sighed, then stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Masters, sir. Li Hanshan, a fourteenth generation disciple of the Doumi Temple in Xiahuasheng, is willing to select wooden boxes for all the masters and masters here."
Although he said that, he smiled bitterly in his heart. While walking out, he sighed: Drunk, drunk, where have you been? Why did you urinate? It took you so long?
At this time, we saw that the two sides were going to fight again, and it was such an exciting thing. After all, they were all powerful and enjoyed all the fun in this world. However, it was the first time to watch the demons and demons at such a close distance. So everyone in the palace focused on those five boxes. No one noticed why Liu Bolun, who had just drunk too much, had not come back yet.
Let’s put aside Liu Bolun, let’s talk about the fighting in the hall. The monarch of the Southern Kingdom approved this "game". However, for safety reasons, he still called a group of soldiers to guard the table and separate a large area in the hall. The Taoist Master Li Hanshan and the six monks of Yunlong Temple all stood next to the box.
Everything was ready, and everyone held their breath and waited quietly. After the king's permission, Monk Fayan said: "Eliminating demons and defending the Tao is our duty. Among these five boxes, three of them are monsters, and two of them are evil spirits. They will be guests in the long run. Choose which one to subdue first. It is up to this Taoist Li to decide. Master Li, please."
To put it nicely, Li Hanshan smiled bitterly, then looked at Master Xingdian. Master Xingdian nodded at him, so Li Hanshan began to look at the five boxes. The boxes looked the same, and they could not speculate on what was inside. How should we choose?
Forget it, no matter how many, let’s try one to see what they sell in the gourd!
So, Li Hanshan pointed to the gloomy wooden box on the far left and said, "Just this is the mouth, please let the masters show the Dharma first."
After seeing Li Hanshan’s choice, Monk Fayan smiled and said, “Okay, Your Majesty, I will explain what is in this box first. Have you heard of the ‘human umbrella’ on the banks of the Liuzhou Canal three years ago?”
Three years ago, human umbrella?
Li Hanshan and the princes and nobles here have all heard of it. According to legend, three years ago, a strange thing happened in a city on the banks of the Liuzhou Canal. A large mushroom suddenly grew in a small village near the forest outside the city. It is said that the mushroom grew taller than a big tree overnight, and it was chopped and chopped continuously. Since the mushroom was born, the houses in the village began to become moldy. In less than half a month, the village was covered with mushrooms, and even strange things happened to the villagers.
It is said that when the monster hunter heard the news, the scene was terrible. The giant mushroom was towering like a tower. The mushrooms in the village grew around it. None of the villagers survived, and they were covered with mushrooms of all sizes. Later generations called it the "human umbrella", which caused a lot of panic.
There are all kinds of strange things these days. Later, I heard that the monks of Yunlong Temple solved this matter, which suppressed the spread of the magic mushroom. But no one knew what method they used. Monk Fayan said: "This box contains the inner core of the magic mushroom known as the 'human umbrella'. This thing is one of the abnormalities in heaven and earth. The Sanskrit name is 'Nan Lida'. It is born from chaos in troubled times. There is a record in my Buddhist scriptures that I was able to remove this thing by the Vajra Protector with great vows. It is said that this thing has three inches long when the climate meets the wind, and cannot be eradicated by ordinary means, so my disciples at that time had to seal it in the box."
So that's what happened. Everyone suddenly realized that it was very scary again. This thing was very windy. After unboxing later, wouldn't the palace be pushed open? When they thought of mushrooms on their bodies, everyone trembled.
This is indeed a terrifying monster.
The monk Fayan smiled, then clasped his hands together and said, "Don't panic, sir, this monster is vicious, but it will not hurt us. Senior brother, please destroy this thing in the first round."
While speaking, he looked at Fakong beside him.
This monk Fakong is the highest among the six monks. It is rumored that he became a monk since he was a child and studied the Dharma with Master You Fang. He only has profound attainments in Buddhism and possesses the magic skills of Yunlong Temple. However, he was born with a lonely and mute and could not speak, so the six monks were led by Fayan. However, it is widely rumored that this monk Fakong is the most powerful of the six monks.
Fakong was thin and weak, and his face was pale and sick, but his eyes were extremely firm. He walked slowly into the middle, then silently saluted the people present, and then signaled that Fa Yan could start. Fa Yan knew it, and after instructing everyone to be careful, he pulled out the seven demon-subduing pestles on the lock of the wooden box in turn.
After the seven demon-subduing pestles were pulled out, the yellow silk fell, and the golden lock head, which was as big as a fist, opened with a bang!
As the lock fell to the ground, the gloomy wooden box popped up instantly, and a wet moldy air came out of the box. At the same time, Li Hanshan saw that the bottom layer of the box was covered with green mold. Under the moldy box, there was a small mushroom, about the size of a small fingernail.
The main hall was ventilated. After the box was opened, the mushroom suddenly trembled and then suddenly swelled!
It was so fast that in the blink of an eye, a big mushroom rushed out of the box. The mushroom was colorful, and the umbrella stalks were like bamboos. The mushroom was like a big snake and was leaping towards the ceiling. It was two or three feet tall in the blink of an eye. Where did the nobles in the hall ever see such things? So they couldn't help but scream.
It was indeed a monster. Unexpectedly, such a difficult thing was released. Li Hanshan was also very shocked at the time. He understood that this thing was difficult to deal with.
Monk Fakong, who was standing in front of the box, suddenly opened his eyes wide open. He saw him worshiping Buddha with one hand and his other right hand suddenly raised. At that moment, Li Hanshan felt a strong aura burst out from the monk's body. Although the monk couldn't speak, his lips were still shaking, as if he was reciting a complicated scripture.
And at this moment, a yellow light flashed above everyone's heads, and a big hand that was hazy suddenly appeared under the ceiling. The big hand seemed to be there and not, like a reflection in the water, but it shone with light, and the gesture was exactly the same as the gesture of Fakong's right hand.
