Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1812 Capturing the Demon
Kunlunzi remained calm and said: "I would like to hear some high-level opinions. I wonder where the abnormality and evil spirit of these three pure statues are?"

Ye Gufan picked up the teacup, took a careful sip, put down the teacup, and asked with a smile: "I dare to ask an old man, when you burn incense on weekdays, do you look up at the statue of the gods, or lower your head in silent awe?"

"Of course, I lower my head to offer incense and feel awe. How can I look up and look directly at the statue of God?" Kunlunzi was stunned for a moment and then said.

"Haha, isn't this right?" Ye Gufan laughed and said:

"The Maoshan disciple said that there is a difference between the placement of Taoist and Buddhist statues. Buddha statues can be placed in the open air, and there have been many since ancient times, such as the Leshan Giant Buddha in Xichuan, the Tiantan Giant Buddha in Hong Kong, the Yungang Giant Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha in Xuedou Mountain. ...In Tibetan monasteries, there is also an activity to show off the giant Buddha. Once a year, the Buddha statues are invited out and placed in the sun to bask in the sun. But are there any Taoist statues placed in the open air?"

"This..." Kunlunzi pondered for a moment, suddenly sweat appeared on his forehead, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Ye Gufan drank tea from a cup while observing Kunlunzi's expression.

Judging from Kunlunzi's expression at this moment, it seems that he has just realized that this is wrong.In this way, Ye Gufan felt that this old guy might have been kept in the dark and was taken advantage of.Maybe, this Kunlunzi also knows nothing about the secret of Pingtian Temple.Ye Gufan just had doubts about this and could not yet make a conclusion.

After a moment of silence, Kunlunzi bowed his head again and said, "According to that Maoshan disciple, the placement of the Sanqing statues here follows the Buddhist path?"

"That's right." Ye Gufan nodded and said: "If Pingtian Temple is a temple, and the Sanqing statues here are replaced by Buddhist statues, then it would be reasonable and not surprising at all. But placing the Sanqing statues in the open air is Abnormality. Abnormality must lead to demons, what do you think?"

Kunlunzi frowned and said: "To be honest, the statues are set up like this. It was the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasties who entrusted me with a dream and asked me to arrange it like this."

To dream?

A sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Gufan's lips, and then he asked: "Three Pure Ones and Three Pure Ones, there are three in total. I wonder which one is the one who entrusted the dream to the old Taoist?"

"It's the Supreme Lord." Kunlunzi said.

"Haha, I'm afraid it's some kind of monster that pretended to be someone else, right?" Ye Gufan laughed.

"Fellow Taoist, please don't talk nonsense. You and I cannot afford to offend the ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty." Kunlunzi was startled and said hurriedly.

Ye Gufan stood up and said with a smile: "You call me fellow Taoist?"

"Ye Lai, a god in golden armor was ordered by the Supreme Lord to tell me that in the future there must be a disciple of Maoshan, surnamed Ye and named Gu Fan, who will come to Pingtian Temple. , it must be Maoshan disciple Ye Gufan." Kunlunzi said.

That's awesome. You knew we were coming at night?

Ye Gufan was even more frightened, but said calmly: "Haha, so it turns out that I have such a great reputation, and my actions are all cared about by Taishang Laojun?"

"This is the magical power of the Supreme Ancestor. Within the six paths, everyone can detect everything." Kunlunzi said.

"Bullshit." Ye Gufan sneered and said, "There are too many things going on in the six realms, and the Supreme Lord doesn't care about us. Old Taoist priest, you must have been deceived by the monster and became its puppet."

"You are talking nonsense! You Maoshan disciples are profound in Taoism. Please catch the monsters and let me see them!" Kunlunzi's expression changed and he said.

Before Ye Gufan could speak, he annoyed Li Weinian.This guy suddenly stood up and said: "Old Taoist, you said that Taishang Laojun entrusted you with a dream. Can you call a witness? If not, then let Taishang Laojun come out and take a few steps for us all to see. look?"

Repaying the other's favor with the other's methods, Li Weinian also became smarter.Because Li Weinian knew that Ye Gufan still couldn't catch the monster and gave Kunlunzi a proof.

Kunlunzi was startled, then he shook his whisk and said: "It's ridiculous, isn't this nonsense? How can I ask the Supreme Lord to please you?"

"We don't need to catch monsters, we just need you to invite Laojun. If you can't invite Laojun, how can you win people's trust?" Li Weinian continued to fool around and said: "Old Taoist, do you think this is true? "

"This is not the same thing!" Kunlunzi glared and said: "The disciple of Maoshan saw that there is a demon here, I asked him to capture the demon, but you asked me to invite Lao Jun, this is nonsense!"

Li Weinian was about to continue his quibbles, but Ye Gufan stopped Li Weinian with a wave of his hand.

"Old Taoist, it's not difficult for me to prove that there is a demon here." Ye Gufan looked at Kunlunzi and said word by word: "That demon is under the statue of Sanqing. If you don't believe it, I can show it to you. look!"

"Under the statue of Sanqing?" Kunlunzi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and laughed.After a while, the old guy stopped laughing and said: "Okay, today I will make a bet with fellow Taoist. If there is a demon under the statue, I will give up the Pingtian Temple to fellow Taoist Ye."

Ye Gufan shook his head and said: "I don't care about this Pingtian Temple. To be honest, the Three Palaces and Five Temples in Maoshan will be mine in the future as long as I want."

"Let's discuss it again, Fellow Daoist Ye, you can capture the monster for me first, please!" Kunlunzi waved his fly whisk and looked at the statue outside and said.

"Get the incense burner and incense sticks!" Ye Gufan also waved his hand and said.

Everyone walked out of the side hall together and came to the statue of the god.

The orientation of the statue is also very strange, it faces the north.Generally speaking, statues of gods face south and face north, facing the sun.But this three-dimensional statue has its butt facing the sun.

In an instant, the disciples of Pingtianguan brought three incense burners and several sticks of high-quality incense.

At this moment, the protective net around the statue has not been removed.Ye Gufan got through the protective net and came to the statue.Kunlunzi, holding a fly whisk, also stood beside Ye Gufan, watching Ye Gufan's methods of catching the monster.

Worried that this veteran was plotting against Ye Gufan, Di Yun and Li Weinian also followed in and stood aside.

Ye Gufan straightened his clothes, and each lit a burner of incense in front of the statue of Sanqing. They did not chant any incantations, but just watched quietly.

Kunlunzi frowned secretly, wondering what Ye Gufan was up to.

Di Yun and Li Weinian also looked at each other. Can the monster be brought out by burning incense like this?
But Ye Gufan's expression was very calm, just looking at the incense head, motionless.

Suddenly, Ye Gufan raised his hand, pointed at the incense head, and said, "Old Taoist, look where the smoke has drifted to."

The shrine under the statue is one foot high, so the incense burner is placed at the foot of the shrine.At this time, the wind came from the west, but the smoke from the incense head floated straight to the statue of the god due south.

Moreover, the smoke from the three incense burners is approaching the middle, and they float together to the bottom of the shrine at the feet of the statue of Laojun in the middle!
"Strange, how could it be like this?" Di Yun was confused. (There is one more chapter, a little later. The Spring Festival has just passed, and the status needs to be adjusted.)
