Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 248 No Way to Hell
Under the night.

When the "Tai Shang Zhuo Dun Mantra" was recited at Maoshan, there were suddenly gusts of cold wind between heaven and earth, and the air became eerie, as if the shadows of residual souls were hidden all around.

The altar set up at Maoshan is the Yin-Yang Altar.

At this time, there is an unnamed tablet on the altar, with offerings of fresh flowers and fruits, three kinds of tea and four kinds of wine, three kinds of meat and four kinds of vegetables, as well as incense, candles, rice and steamed buns, etc.

Next to the Yintan.

Mao Xiang burned paper money silently, looking at the hidden shadow curiously from time to time.

As Mao Shan chanted the spell, more and more shadows gathered from all directions. At a glance, it looked so dense that there were at least hundreds of them.

These blurry shadows are all ghosts.

Some ghosts are intact, but most of them have broken limbs, or even lost most of their souls, leaving only a head.

numbness!

Confused!

Lifeless.

Like a walking corpse.

This is the portrayal of the ghost.

In the blink of an eye, Mao Shan finished reciting the "Taishang Zhuodu Mantra", and then recited it once, twice, three times, and even several times. His voice seemed to have magical power, not only attracting the dead souls in the village, but also attracting the wandering souls outside the village.

The number of dead souls seemed to exceed the population of the village.

But at this moment, Mao Shan's brows knitted tightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He performed a ritual, attracting the dead souls from miles around, or even dozens of miles around.

But he was unable to save the souls of the dead.

How is this going?

Maoshan was very puzzled. Did he make a mistake somewhere?

He thought about it carefully and found that the steps of salvation were correct, although it was his first time to perform a ritual to save the dead souls. However, what he learned in the magical dream made him extremely skilled, as if he had done it thousands of times.

There is simply no way it could go wrong.

As time passed, the souls of the dead seemed to become restless because they could not be liberated and reborn.

Moreover, he is becoming more and more restless.

"what--"

The ghosts screamed, struggled, and devoured each other.

At this time, the ghost gradually revealed its brutal side and even pounced on Mao Xiang.

"Brother, these dead souls?"

Mao Xiang retreated hastily, retreating behind Yangtan Maoshan, and asked in confusion: "Why did he become so ferocious?"

"fine."

Maoshan gestured, then sat cross-legged to think for a while, and then quickly recited the "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Ling Bao Miao Jing" (The Great Sutra of the Mysterious Spiritual Treasures for Rescuing Suffering and Eliminating Sins).

The ghost gradually calmed down and seemed to be comforted.

However, if he still cannot be liberated into a pure soul, he will become agitated again and even become more and more brutal.

Even turned into a ghost.

Not long after, Maoshan recited the "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Ling Bao Jiu Suffering and Removing Sins Wonderful Sutra" three times, but the dead soul was still not liberated.

This made his expression change slightly, and he asked, "What's going on?"

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Mao Xiang asked worriedly.

"The dead souls cannot be liberated."

Mao Shan's face was solemn. This couldn't be his fault.

So, what is the reason why the souls of the dead cannot be liberated and reborn?
Maoshan quickly calmed down and thought carefully whether he had made a mistake. However, he did not find where he had made a mistake, so it was not his fault.

This shouldn't be the case.

Maoshan frowned, puzzled.

He performed rituals to liberate the souls of the dead, which was equivalent to giving them hope, so the souls came to him and obeyed his orders. However, after they came to him, they found that they could not be reborn, let alone be liberated, and they would definitely think that they had been deceived.

Got fooled.

Therefore, the dead souls will retaliate and even crazily devour the person who did the trick.

At this time, the dead soul became restless again, even more intensely than before. Even if Maoshan recited the "Tai Shang Dong Xuan Ling Bao Miao Jing" again, it was difficult to calm the dead soul.

Even if they can be calmed down, as soon as they stop, they will become agitated again.

And he can't keep reciting it.

But after a while, the ghost was not just restless, but became violent and cruel.

"Brother, how can these dead souls be so ungrateful?"

Mao Xiang said a little annoyed.

At this time, the ghost pounced on the two of them frantically, his eyes full of resentment, as if he wanted to devour them.

"It can't be said to be ungrateful." Mao Shan said after a moment of hesitation.

"Brother, how about we kill them? Anyway, they are all residual souls..."

Mao Xiang suggested after a moment's hesitation.

"No!"

Mao Shan immediately refused, saying, "Although I am a ghost-catching Taoist priest, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor will I destroy the dead souls at will, unless I have no choice."

"Uh……"

Mao Xiang was stunned for a moment and said, "What should we do then?"

"It can only be kept temporarily."

Maoshan Road.

At this time he vaguely discovered.

It seems that it is not that he cannot help the dead souls to be reborn, but that there is no way for the dead souls to be reborn in the underworld. Therefore, he cannot help the dead souls to be reborn.

There is no way to hell——

Maoshan is basically confirmed.

There is no underworld in this world, so how can there be reincarnation?
At this time, even Maoshan was at a loss. Could he still go on like this?

"Brother!"

Mao Xiang saw that Mao Shan was in a trance, so he quickly woke him up and said, "The ghost is coming to kill us."

At this time, the ghosts finally lost all their patience and began to retaliate against Maoshan frantically. Their eyes were bloodshot and full of resentment, and they fought without any rationality.

They don't care about their own lives at all.

Extremely crazy.

"Brother, what should we do?" Mao Xiang was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, brother has a way to deal with it." Maoshan looked at the remaining souls that were madly attacking him, sighed, and scattered the tea, wine, and rice on the Yin altar around for the dead souls to eat.

The dead souls rushed forward, scrambling frantically for the offerings.

Mao Xiang was relieved when he saw this and said, "Brother, there aren't many offerings. The dead souls have eaten them all. What should we do?"

"Where are Mao Xiang, Bai Su, and Huang Zong?"

Maoshan asked.

"there."

Mao Xiang pointed to the cloth altar that had been prepared earlier.

"Cut each piece to twenty-two feet, and sew the white silk inside the yellow silk. Quick." Maoshan said quickly, and walked down the Yangtan, took out the cinnabar and orpiment and ground them together.

And the grass incense was quickly cut and the white silk was sewed into the yellow silk.

"Brother, it's done."

After the grass incense was ready, he asked, "What are you going to do with this?"

"Return the Yaoling Banner."

Mao Shan came to Bai Su with cinnabar and orpiment ink.

"What is the Huiyao Ling Banner?"

Mao Xiang asked curiously.

"The soul-calling banner."

After concentrating for a moment, Maoshan picked up the pen and started writing in front of the banner.

On the lower left side of the banner, it is written "Taiwei Huihuangqi, Wuyingminglingling Banner". On the lower right side, it is written "Shezhao Changyefu, open the soul to receive rebirth".

On the upper left, it is written "Mangmang Chenghuang Mansion";
On the upper right side, it says "Merit Golden Light".

The words "Hui Yao" are written on the body of the banner.

"pole!"

Maoshan said immediately after he finished writing.

Mao Xiang immediately handed over a long bamboo pole.

At this time, the ghost had already devoured the offerings and was rushing towards them again. Maoshan quickly hung the Huiyao Ling Banner on a long pole and inserted it under the Yin Altar, letting the wind blow it.

The twenty-two-foot Huiyao Ling Banner fluttered in the wind.

Hunting sound.

“When the ghosts from all directions see this spiritual banner and convert with a single thought, their past sins will be immediately eliminated, and even the biggest sins of the worldly life will be forgiven. They will be reborn in the Southern Palace, the hell will be peaceful, and their dead souls will be reborn.”

Maoshan shouted.

When the Huiyao Ling Banner flutters, it produces a mysterious sound, as if calling someone's soul.

The ghosts, which had become extremely ferocious at this time, seemed to be appeased by a mysterious force, and actually walked back to the Yaoling Banner one by one.
