Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 44 The Most Devout Family
A gold-plated altar, fire silk satin, diamond copper furnace, soothing incense sticks, and a lot of extravagant things. In the center of a lot of luxury things, there is an ordinary porcelain bowl with scratches, and the bowl is full. White rice.

Fu Bo looked solemn, and carefully took out a jade bottle, dripped five drops of sweet rain, and added some crypt dew, which is very good for ghosts, and it looked like a bowl of ordinary white water and rice was ready.

He solemnly changed into clean new clothes, the edges and corners of which were ironed very smooth, and then lit the incense stick with his own yang energy, inserted it into the rice bowl, pinched the cloth with his hands, and recited the mantra.

"Everything that is born in heaven and earth already belongs to man, so that it has no roots, and it does not go up to the sky, nor does it go down to the earth. Those who have things are neutralized, so that they can be carried out, floating and coming, and they are the masters of the week. also."

In front of the altar, there is a long abyss, which is pitch black and filled with yin energy.

With the start of casting the spell, the green smoke from the incense sticks turned into a trickle, converging into an illusory stream, sinking into the dark abyss below the cliff.

In just a moment, the gravel on the cliff began to fall, and the whole cliff seemed to be trembling slightly. A large group of hungry ghosts, like a blowout, spewed out from under the dark cliff.

Uncle Fu's eyes froze slightly, but then he resisted the idea of ​​interrupting the incantation and going back to protect Gu Tianxin, and continued to stand there, chanting the mantra without moving.

The countless hungry ghosts spewing out densely covered the ground, and there were still a steady stream of hungry ghosts rushing out from the cliff behind.

They folded their hands together and held them in front of them. The scattered green smoke condensed in their palms and turned into grains of steaming white rice, which they ate.

The worries in Uncle Fu's heart gradually dissipated, and he personally tested the contents of the letter sent by Xie Cian, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he abandoned his distracting thoughts and gave alms with peace of mind.

He knew where these hungry ghosts came from, and a little kindness in his heart was inspired.

When the incense sticks were burned out, the hungry ghosts who had been donated all saluted and thanked him. Uncle Fu also showed a slight smile and bowed his hands.

At this time, he no longer has any utilitarianism, but simply thinks that it is very good to do this, it is a good thing.

The moment he opened his heart, the distracting thoughts, hostility, and demonic intentions accumulated in his heart, which might later turn into hindrances to his practice and demons, flew out as wisps of black smoke, and flew out among the hungry ghosts. In it, he turned into a ferocious monster the size of a human head.

Before these devils could yell out anything, they saw those hungry ghosts that were large enough to fill their sight range...

In just two or three breaths, the devil, who didn't even have an entity, was torn apart and swallowed by the hungry ghosts.

At this time, the hungry ghosts retreated into the dark abyss and disappeared.

Uncle Fu stood there in a daze, feeling his body and mind were clear, and his soul was cleansed, he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the missive's letter from Xixi, she didn't explain it in detail, but just mentioned it, which seemed like a sentence "you have done a good deed, and you will feel better".

Just to be on the safe side, he tried it himself first. Unexpectedly, when he was sincere and pure, and only wanted to do some good deeds, what he said in the letter turned from a polite sentence to a literal meaning. .

His face became more and more serious, and he understood the meaning of this change all too well.

Those hungry ghosts are poor people at the bottom. Most people who know hungry ghosts don't have much malice towards them, and they will instinctively distinguish them from other ghosts. Now, this distinction may be even greater.

And this is Yu Ziqing's original intention. When he is not conscious, he still has instincts, and those instincts also follow his original heart.

He knows best that to find a way out for these hungry ghosts is not just to open up a way for them, so that they will have a chance to stop starving.

The vast majority of hungry ghosts need almsgiving, but if you only rely on human kindness in this matter, it will never last long, and that kind of relationship will always have inherent gaps.

If you want to stabilize a relationship for a long time, you must pull everyone to a level as a whole. With a subtle relationship of interest, after there is a relationship, the relationship as a whole will become better and better. Stable, longer and longer.

Yu Ziqing needs all people to give alms to these poor hungry ghosts once in a while, when they are willing, capable, and simple, because it is impossible for him to give alms to all hungry ghosts by himself.

After Fu Bo personally experimented and experienced changes far beyond expectations, he immediately turned around and reported to Gu Tianxin.

The impact of this matter will be huge.

……

"When the red sun is gone, the white sun will flourish!"

It almost roared out, and the tone was full of fanatical slogans, which exploded in the city.

Yu Ziqing pushed open the window of the inn and looked outside. A group dressed in white robes and holding white flags looked like a funeral procession in sackcloth and filial piety. They had already swaggered through the city before it got dark.

At the far city gate, the guards of the city gate languidly shrunk their necks, gathered around the charcoal stove to keep warm, and didn't even look at this side.

The city is also becoming more and more desolate, with shredded paper garbage floating on the streets, sparse and hurried pedestrians, no one is willing to meddle in their own business and take a second look, and most of them just avoid those believers from afar.

Although the town at the foot is still a border area, it is already nearly a thousand miles away from the border.

Regardless of whether the higher-ups of the earthquake didn't want to take care of it, or didn't see the situation here at all, the people in power in the town under their feet must have no ability or energy to take care of these things.

It is estimated that there is no city lord who would like his own territory, become religiously rampant, the market is depressed, shops are closed, and there are fewer and fewer vendors.

Just like Yu Ziqing didn't want him to open up the path of hungry ghosts. One day, there would be such disgusting things as Baiyang Xiesi. He didn't need hungry ghosts to do anything for him, but he also didn't want anyone to use his name to deceive him. After finishing the common people, he went to deceive the hungry ghosts.

Of course, this matter cannot be tolerated. If these evil ways cannot be killed, then there is another way to do it once and for all. Dig a big pit and wait to kill their Virgin.

I started to practice the Way of Hungry Ghosts concurrently, because I wanted to come up with an anti-fraud method as soon as possible, and directly use my own authority to engrave it into the Way of Hungry Ghosts. In the future, whoever uses the way of Hungry Ghosts to conduct incense and sacrifices will eat that melon to death Skin.

Still thinking about starting layout and trying to parasitize?
I'll come up with insect repellent first, and the roads will be blocked by you. Whoever tries it at that time will die.

Of course, this is the last resort, and it hasn't been done yet, and it doesn't affect Yu Ziqing to try another method to kill them now.

After closing the window, he poured Yu Ziqing a cup of hot tea.

"Young master, the leader today has already started cultivation, and there is a hint of bewitchment in his voice."

"Did you find anything?"

"I don't dare to investigate randomly in the city. I don't have enough control over the domain. I'm afraid that there are experts within dozens of miles who might be noticed. But I don't need to expand the domain. I can also notice that there are hungry ghosts in the city lord's mansion, and There is not a single strong monk in the city, which is not normal, and this kind of border town, which is not an important town, will at least have a fifth-level or even sixth-level master sitting in the town."

"Can you recruit that hungry ghost?"

"He should be trapped. I will go with Wu Shuangge at night."

"it is good."

At night, those Baiyang believers became even more rampant. They seemed to be restless, wearing plain sackcloth, chanting scriptures, and walking on the street outside. No one dared to go out at this time.

Wu Shuangge went to the city lord's mansion together with Xiexi.

In the huge city lord's mansion, at night, it was dead silent, only a few candles were lit for chatting, and Wu Shuangge came to the dungeon where the hungry ghost was with a pity.

There was no one guarding it, and there were corpses everywhere in the dungeon, only one of them, a skinny hungry ghost, was locked in a cell with densely packed talisman seals.

"Gege, it's up to you." Sentimental pointed to the cell.

Wu Shuangge made a false grasp with one hand, and a barrel appeared beside him. He lifted the lid of the barrel, and wisps of soy-black smoke gushed out, seeping into the shimmering talismans.

In an instant, the brilliance on the talismans flickered rapidly, and after a breath, all the talismans exhausted their power and fell down silently.

The hungry ghost curled up in horror, hid in the corner, walked into the cell, slowly stretched out a hand, and stroked the opponent's head, the hungry ghost gradually calmed down, staring blankly. Looking pitiful.

After a while, Sister sighed, and with a wave of his hand, the hungry ghost disappeared.

Back to the inn.

"Master, there is indeed a hungry ghost there. It is a little girl in the city lord's mansion. She was starved to death in a cell. More than a month ago, the city lord's mansion was wiped out. Now it is still maintaining order in this city. It must be a counterfeit, some time ago, the masters here were also transferred away for some reason."

"During the day, I found that among the four grain stores here, three were closed, and the last one was still open. There was not much grain still on sale. I also asked, and the price has risen compared to two months ago. It's more than double, and the price is rising every day, and it's because the owner of that shop has a conscience, otherwise he would have closed his shop to stock up on food."

Yu Ziqing frowned slightly, and he looked to the north.

"The big earthquake must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't have been so long, and no one cares about it here. When you reply to Gu Tianxin, please mention it."

"Tell Wu Shuangge to go out tomorrow and see if those believers will bring him to their lair."

……

In a dilapidated thatched hut in the city, a woman was kneeling in front of a scripture, reciting scriptures devoutly. Her face was pale and her lips were bloodless. On the straw mat next to her lay a dying man. Next to her, there are a son and a daughter who are reciting scriptures with her.

After four hours of chanting in one breath, the thatched hut was opened by someone, and a believer in plain linen came in. After looking at the situation in the hut, he took out a hand-sized A bowl with half a bowl of slightly thick sweet soup.

The woman stepped forward cautiously, with awe in her eyes, and took the pottery bowl with both hands.

Seeing the less and less sweet soup in the bowl, the woman plucked up her courage and asked a question.

"My lord, today we have read the scriptures for eight hours in total. I have also taught my children. I am absolutely devout to the Holy Mother. I wonder if I can give more. My child has fainted once today. The man is also seriously ill..."

"I said that the whole family has to serve the Holy Mother and recite the scriptures together, so the whole family has to be together. Although you are the most devout, I can't open my mouth to you, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules." The believer patiently said He explained something, then pointed to the half bowl of sweet soup, and said softly.

"In fact, this is already too much, I take good care of you, but the rules are the rules, I don't dare to change randomly..."

The believers left, and the woman held half a bowl of sweet soup and handed it to the eagerly watching children.

"Go over there and eat first, mother is not hungry, I will go to see your father..."

After reading the scriptures for a day, the children were so hungry that their eyes glowed green. They wanted to tell their parents to eat first, but their hands were out of control.

Holding half a bowl of sweet soup, they squatted in the corner of the thatched cottage, sipping it bit by bit.

The woman sat by the straw mat, looked at the seriously ill man above, and reached out to touch the man's face, with tears in her eyes, and a hint of madness in her expression.

"Head of the family, you have heard that our family is the most devout, and we can eat porridge that can't be poured with chopsticks on weekdays. This is the only way to do it these days. I can't see the two of them starving to death. They are still young. , you probably don't want to..."

As she spoke, her hands brushed across the man's cheeks, pinched him around his neck, and slowly began to exert force in her hands.

On her face, there was some despair and some sadness, and finally turned into pious madness.

After a while, she stood up and her expression regained her composure.

"Both of you are not full. I'll ask you to order some more. Our family is the most devout. We have been chanting scriptures together for eight hours today. We shouldn't be hungry."

　My big orange has returned to Meow Star, and has been with me for many years. When I come to Guangdong, I take it with me. I am reluctant to give it away. I have already become my own family. My wife cried miserably, and I also broke my defense...
