Chapter 4 The Ancestral Spirit Contest
Ruan Xiaosi sold fish and shrimps and had a lively personality. While they walked and chatted, Jing Hua asked about the reason why Mei Pi caused trouble.
It turns out that Yangliu Village is several miles apart. Yangliu Village is located in the upper reaches of Xiaoshi River and the lower reaches of the Kuoshan Village. It is close to each other and it is inevitable that the two sides will move back and forth. Although there have been conflicts, they can basically be properly resolved and they live in peace for many years.
Mei Pi's provocation was because of the "ancestral spirit" dispute. The two villages each had their own ancestor worship, and the "ancestral spirit" in Yangliu Village was fulfilled from time to time, but the one in Kuoshan Village was not very vivid. Mei Pi's great-grandfather tried many times, hoping to transfer to the ancestor spirit of Yangliu Village. It's strange that the "ancestral spirit" fulfilled in the upstream did not respond when moved downstream. The two villages were quite quarrels about this, and Kuoshan Village was helpless.
In recent months, Kaoshan Village has sent a letter to a "Tiger God Ancestor Spirit" and has frequently provoked trouble. They attacked the villagers of Yangliu Village and threatened the other party to change their beliefs. Mei Pi and others intercepted woodcutters and robbed fishermen for the same reasons.
The Great Six Paths have the custom of "paying ancestors" and monks have personally experienced it. There are many villages around Xingshan City, almost all of which have ancestral halls.
Jing's family also worships the tablets of ancestors, burning incense and commemorating them during festivals. Doing so can not only educate the younger generations, but also commemorate the ancestors. However, it is rarely heard of "the ancestors' appearance" and the strange thing that argues about this and orders the other party to convert their beliefs is even more unheard of before.
The effort was not long, and the two arrived at the entrance of Yangliu Village.
The monk was surprised. The ordinary village had more than a dozen small households, and only a hundred households were large. Yangliu Village was very prosperous, with wide farmland, flat roads, and green brick and tile houses arranged in an orderly manner. At first glance, I was afraid that hundreds of households would live here.
Originally, it was just a rest, but I didn't expect that the people in the village were simple and hospitable. I heard that Jing Hua helped Ruan Xiaosi get rid of the siege and took out eggs and white noodles to entertain guests. Ruan Xiaosi was very popular in the village, and even the village chief came to his house to thank the monks in person, and brought homemade adult fruit wine.
More than a dozen people crowded in the yard, chatting and laughing, and enjoying simple happiness. Jing Hua was out for many days and rarely felt the long-lost intimacy. Originally, the monks didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now they are curious. The people of Yangliu Village are kind and simple, so why did Kuaishan Village deal with them?
Ruan Xiaosi did not get married, and there were two vacant houses in his house. Jing Hua could not stop the enthusiasm of the villagers and promised to stay at his house that night.
The moon passes through the sky, and the stars dot.
Jing Hua put away the "spirit gathering array" and prepared to sleep with his clothes. The curtain of the door, and the candlelight suddenly had no wind, bringing cold air. Extremely subtle fluctuations of spiritual power came from outside the door, and the way was very strange, neither like a monk nor a monster.
Jing Hua's eyes shrank slightly, and he pulled out the "dry golden rod" with his backhand.
"who?"
"I am Liu, and I will pay homage to Jingxianchang."
"Squeak"
The door opened on its own and a blurred figure floated in. It seemed to be there and there was nothing, almost translucent. Jing Hua had a successful cultivation level, and was extremely sensitive to spiritual waves, so he could detect an abnormality. From the appearance, he could barely tell that he was a "female ghost". It seemed that she had achieved success in her cultivation and her soul was condensed but not dispersed.
The monk secretly praised him.
The six realms of human, beast, monster, demon, and immortal will disappear after death, and will automatically fall into the underworld of the Yellow Springs and reincarnate. Unless it is by chance or by a great change, the soul can stay in the Yang world.
The "woman" stopped six feet away and bowed to salute.
"I am the 'ancestral spirit' of Yangliu Village, who has been guarding the village for more than 200 years. Today I come here to thank the Immortal Chief for his kindness and help others, and to ask the Immortal Chief for help to save the disaster in the village."
Jing Hua suddenly realized.
It turns out that there are really "ancestral spirits" in the village. No wonder the people are simple and most of them live and work in peace and contentment, with their faces filled with joy. Only those who stay away from disasters for a long time and live in a healthy life will have happiness and satisfaction from the heart.
There are many villages and towns that worship ancestors. There are no one who can have a guardian of the ancestor spirit. I don’t know what opportunities can survive in the world and become the “ancestor spirit”.
The "ancestral spirit" follows the path of ghost cultivation, and relies on faith to improve its strength, and is not allowed to leave its residence easily. In Yangliu Village, "women" occupy all the time, place, and people, and monks must be afraid of it. What should I ask for help from myself?
"Senior Liu, don't be polite. Just look at the actions of the people in the village, you will know that the senior is kind-hearted and has the right to protect him. It is hard to find a paradise. I am willing to do my best to do my best, but I don't know
What does the disaster in the village mean?”
When I heard Jinghua compare Yangliu Village to Taoyuan Township, the "woman" seemed to have a happy face.
"Thank you, Jingxian, for being chivalrous, so the village was saved. Disasters come south, which is related to the Kuoshan Village. Two hundred years ago, I became the "ancestral spirit" in the village by chance. In fact, I can't do much, only the cultivation of dreams and curing diseases, but the villagers are simple and simple, proclaiming the benefits of the village everywhere, which arouses jealousy from others."
"There is no protection for the ancestor spirit in the Kuangshan Village, but they are close to Cangmang Mountain. There is a 'earth fire well' in the village that burns all year round. People worship the 'fire spirit', so naturally they cannot show their souls to fulfill their wishes. I heard that the village has the 'ancestral spirit' practice, so they are angry and have found an opportunity to make trouble several times."
"The two villages have always been in contact with each other. I don't want the villagers to get along with each other, so I find opportunities to help Kuoshan Village. But one thing is that the two villages are far apart, and the other is that I have low qualifications and my cultivation is slow to improve, and I have the will but not enough strength. Over the years, Kuoshan Village has a grudge."
"A few months ago, a 'tiger charm' appeared in the Kuoshan Village and has reached the realm of 'ghost soldiers'. I don't know what method it has used, but Kuoshan villagers believe it and want to worship it as the 'ancestral spirit'."
"If it protects the mountain village with peace of mind, this is a good thing, and I have a neighbor. But seeing what it does, it is not like a good person. It has not been long, and there are more evil ghosts and evil ghosts around me. In recent months, four people in this village have been missing and their lives are uncertain. If they are rooted in the foundation, the radius of a hundred miles will never be peaceful."
"My cultivation is not as good as the 'Tiger', and I can still protect the villagers in the village, so I can do nothing if I leave the village. The Kuoshan Village recently established an ancestral temple to welcome the Tiger's beauty as its ancestor. Once it has a source of believers, I may not even be able to protect the village. Successful Jingxian has arrived, please save the people of the two villages."
Jing Hua was secretly shocked.
The realm of "ghost soldiers" is comparable to that of themselves. Fortunately, Yin and Yang are born and defeated, thunder, fire, and yang, and the three Taoist methods of thunder, fire, and yang are fierce and violent, and they have great restraint on ghost cultivators. There are not many yang talismans on their body, and there are quite a lot of thunder and fire talismans, so they are not afraid of a "tiger charm".
"Don't worry, Senior Liu, I will do my best to prevent the villagers from being hurt."
"Ancestral Spirit" Liu was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly and turned around and left.
The monk frowned and thought carefully about the female ghost's words. He was just careful and only said to protect the villagers, without mentioning the "Tiger Charm".
According to Jing Hua's knowledge, ghosts are extremely regional and cannot easily leave their residence. Otherwise, no matter whether they are sunlight or lightning, they can cause devastating damage to them. Ghosts and monsters, such as ghosts and monsters, cannot escape the shackles of yin and yang if they do not rise to the realm of "ghost generals".
So where does the tiger charm in Kuaishan Village come from? How did it appear without warning and have the cultivation of "ghost soldiers"?
Liu said just one-sided words. He should go to Kuangshan Village to verify first, and then decide what to do in the future.
