Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 219
July [-]th, the Ghost Festival, is called the Yulan Basin Festival in Buddhism.

July is also the festival of harvest. After the harvest, the ancestors are comforted and the gods are sacrificed.

In Taoism, it is the time when the Emperor of the Zhongyuan Land Official came to the world and pardoned the sins of the dead.

From now on, the gates of hell are wide open, and all the ghosts will leave the underworld to take the examination. Those with minor crimes can accept the forgiveness of their sins by the magistrate, while those with serious crimes need to be judged again. Re-sentencing.

That is to remove the crime book, destroy the root of evil, cut down the name of death, and the register of rebirth with all suffering beings in prison and hell.Has been mentioned, not mentioned, has been mentioned, not mentioned, has been verified, not verified, has been discovered, has not been discovered, and is forgiven.

Among them, there are five punishments and ten crimes, which will never be pardoned.

The five punishments are produced by the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Fire can turn gold, so ink can turn flesh.

Metal can restrain wood, so it is used to remove its joints.

Wood can overcome earth, so cut off its nose.

The soil can block water, and the Forbidden City can extinguish fire by breaking its body, so it is built to cut off its life.

The ten evils mainly refer to the three evils of the body, which are killing, stealing, and adultery.

The four bad words are lying, gossip, harsh words, and two tongues.

The three evil intentions are stinginess, greed, hatred, and wrong views.

Among them, the souls without the five punishments and ten crimes can come out of the underworld and enjoy the incense and sacrifices in the world.

Among them, ghosts with masters go home, and family members make special offerings, while those without masters wander around the world. Therefore, it is often heard that ghosts and gods collide with ghosts and gods during the Hungry Ghost Festival.

At this time, every household of the common people closed their doors early to avoid the house, and placed incense and tribute outside the door.

In Buddhism, it is the Obon Festival. According to Buddhism, the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month is the day when monks complete their merits and virtues.

On the same day, Buddhist disciples held the "Ullambana Dharma Assembly.

In Journey to the West, Jin Chanzi decided to reincarnate at the Yulan Basin meeting and made sacrifices for missionary work.

"The Yulan means hanging upside down; the basin means a rescue tool. The Yulan basin means a utensil used to save upside down pain.

The derived meaning is to use a treasure basin filled with all kinds of flavors and five fruits to offer to the Buddha and monks to save the suffering beings in hell.

In short, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, or folk customs, this day is related to ghost sacrifices.

And on Meihua Mountain, Lin Zhuming also set up a Dharma altar.

It's just that Lin Zhuming has an extra helper, Yan Dan, which is different from the original Qingming Fa Conference.

Although Yan Dan is a swordsman, he is also a disciple of the Quan Zhen Yang School, needless to say the classics of scientific rituals.

At this time, Lin Zhuming set up an earth altar to forgive sins, and he set up a water altar to relieve evil.

At that time, all spirits of the ten directions, the three realms, the four births and the six realms will be transcended, so that those who are hungry and deficient will be full, and those who are hot and annoyed will be refreshed.

Lin Zhuming recited the scriptures. This Dharma conference started on the [-]th of July and ended on the [-]th.

However, there is still a need to deal with the Rakshasa ghost king, so the specifics are still uncertain.

However, the moon these days is very big, rounder and brighter than before, and the moon palace in the sky can almost be seen.

"Jishou takes refuge in heaven, earth and water, and the three officials are merciful to the Lord. His miraculous skills and virtues are inconceivable. I would like to use my whole heart to take refuge in the ceremony."

When Lin Shuming recited the scriptures, he had an inconceivable mantra, which was cast.

The lonely souls and wild ghosts of the ten directions gather here.

With experience in legal affairs, Lin Zhuming did not show timidity.

Just waiting for the dark clouds to cover the moon when the night falls and the Yin Qi reaches its highest point.

The evil spirit between heaven and earth began to rise and spread from the earth.

A portal stands from the gates of various cities, and it is also displayed in the gates of Yangzhou City.

And the little ghost who just gushed out soon smelled a fragrance.

This is exactly the aroma of the tribute food. They are not hungry ghosts, and they need to open their throats to enjoy the tribute, but they eat directly.

"Whoosh!"

After enjoying the tribute, the soul was temporarily clear: "Where am I going? Yes, I am going home to have a look."

The ghosts are floating around, but when I go home to see it, it is no longer my home.

There is nowhere to go.

The life of the children in Yangjian is not good. This year's harvest is not good, and they almost starved to death. They sold the land, signed and pledged to sell the granddaughter to be a child bride, and barely survived until now...

It's not just such a ghost. When he returned to the world, he found that his descendants were not as good as he was when he was alive.

He even found that the tablet enshrining himself had already formed cobwebs at this time, the door was left in the cold, and he had already fled to famine.

Many ghosts began to cry, but they were mourning for the living. In such a world, I am afraid that they will soon come to accompany them, and they are also mourning for themselves. If the sacrifices and sacrifices are gone, they will become other ghosts in the dark slaves, tenants...

Suddenly hearing the voice of the scriptures, he hid his sorrow and drifted away there.

"It's Shi Gong's ancestral hall!" The old ghost remembered that a good official, even if others slandered him, the common people would still remember him.

Now go to Meihualing.

Such situations abound.

People live without ghosts, and ghosts still worry about life after death.

Seeing so many ghosts floating around, Yan Dan couldn't help thinking: My brother's chanting skill is really good, I'm afraid it has reached the effect of sound transmission for hundreds of miles, within a radius of a hundred miles, all ghosts and spirits can be heard, He is indeed a person who has opened his throat, tongue, and thunder.

Comparing myself again, chanting the mantra is sonorous and powerful, as if cutting iron to sell gold, and the power brought by killing demons and demons seems to have a strong impact on ghosts.

Besides Lin Zhuming, Yan Dan, and Xiaoqian were also on the altar.

It's just that Lin Zhuoming is planning to help her refine her body, wash away the dross, refine her soul with real fire, achieve the body of a pure spirit, ghost and fairy, and then practice the way of Taiyin to refine her form.

At this time, he had finished his work, and after bowing to Lin Zhuoming, he escaped into Ning Caichen's painting.

It's just that the Rakshasa Ghost King doesn't seem to have any plans to come out.

Although this is only the first day, the fourteenth of July is not the fifteenth.

But still don't let your guard down.

Waiting for Lin Zhuoming to save an unknown number of dead souls.

In the city gate of Yangzhou, the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground suddenly sounded.

Shi Kefa's face was serious, and he brought his old generals to the front: "Here we are."

But it is planning to have another battle to defend the city, to avenge the shame.

The cavalry stepped out of the ghost gate, and then they lined up neatly, without any mess.

After about a thousand riders, there was the sound of uniform steps, and a large number of Yin soldiers came out of the ghost gate.

Some of them carried flags with the word "Raksha" written on them.

Waiting for seven or eight thousand soldiers to come out, they saw a few strange beasts pulling a bronze carriage several feet high.

The bronze carriage is surrounded by ceremonial guards, which is comparable to the emperor's travel.

And a coercion gradually began to spread to Yangzhou City.

Many people in Yangzhou began to have nightmares.

"Is this the Rakshasa ghost king?" The Rakshasa ghost king's real body has horns.
