There seems to be the sound of a piano in the ghost town. If it is there or not, it is not known where it comes from, which can make people happy both physically and mentally.
The monk slowed down and looked around.
Look at the ghosts coming and going in this ghost town.
The monk soon discovered that most of these ghosts had young or middle-aged faces, and they definitely didn't look like they were dead. They couldn't help but look unbearable, as if just like this, they could empathize with them.
Suddenly, a ghost looked at him blankly, quickly put down what he was doing, and gave him a big salute.
"Grandmaster……"
"Amitabha……"
The monk also quickly returned the gift.
But when both parties straightened up, they saw that the young kid's face was full of tears, and asked him: "Master, why are you here? Are you also dead? You have such high cultivation and virtue, why are you so young? That’s why I came here…”
The little ghost's voice was crying sincerely.
"oh……"
Only then did the monk realize that he had misunderstood.
Then he quickly explained to him why he was here, how he got here, and asked his name. Only then did he realize that he was a ghost who died in the Guijun epidemic.
I couldn't save him at first.
The monk felt guilty, and held hands with him to talk. From the corner of his eye, he saw a bay-red horse parked in the distance. The girl was sitting on the horse playing with a poisonous snake, waiting for him. Then he said goodbye to the kid and followed Sanhua Empress.
Still looking at it as I walked.
The monk has a heart like a pearl and a pair of eyes like a pearl. His soul becomes clear in his eyes, and he seems to be able to clearly see their suffering in life and their unwillingness in death.
Slowly approached the stone pillar.
The monk saw a familiar figure above. He turned around and saw a woman not far away who was playing the harp attentively. He didn't know if she was a person or a ghost. When he walked by, the sound of the harp did not stop. Because of the sound of the piano, the dark and boring ghost town on earth seems to have become more colorful. Not to mention the people on the high platform are the ghosts in the ghost town, and it has become much more peaceful and peaceful.
The horse stopped under the stone pillar and refused to move.
The little girl stepped onto the suspended stone steps, then stopped and looked back at him.
The monk immediately followed him.
The two big ghosts behind him seemed to have realized that this bay-red horse was the bay-red horse that he had passed by in Yanzhou, and the Sanhua Empress was the one that he had heard about in Yanzhou. The calico cat was taken by the immortal master, and the Taoist named Song sitting on the high platform at this time was naturally the immortal master who used mountains to control water in Hezhou and returned snow to Heyuan.
I almost fell into his hands back then.
Who would have thought that after traveling thousands of miles from Yanzhou to Fengzhou, he would actually come to him on his own initiative.
"Two generals..."
The monk's voice interrupted their thoughts. They looked up and saw the monk waiting for them in front. He said to them: "If you don't want to go up, just wait for the poor monk here."
"How can this be so?"
"Of course!"
The two big ghosts mustered up the courage to follow.
The hanging steps are stable and go around the mountain.
The Taoist sitting on the high platform of the stone pillar opened his eyes. The maid kneeling behind him also turned her head and looked at them curiously. The Sanhua Empress had already ran over and handed the poisonous snake in her hand to the Taoist:
"Taoist, Sanhua Empress has brought you a snake."
"Besides snakes?"
"And a cicada."
The little girl stretched out her other hand and spread it out. The palm of her hand was white and red, holding a cicada.
"anything else?"
"There are also a few mountain mushrooms."
The little girl took out the mushrooms from her arms again.
The Taoist waited patiently for her, and saw her taking out a few colin fungi from her arms.
Sanhua Empress is really talented in increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. No one has ever taught her. She actually knows that the gallinopsis remains in the soil for a long time, and she digs out the gallinobacteria very deep.
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."
"You're welcome!"
The little girl turned around and glanced at the monk who had just emerged from the edge of the platform with a bald head because he was walking slowly. Then she looked back at the Taoist: "Empress Sanhua also brought you a monk."
"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."
"Where are the cicadas and snakes?"
"Today we have a distinguished guest, a monk, who is also an old friend of ours. Monks don't like to kill animals, so why not just consider them lucky and let them go."
"..."
Empress Sanhua looked reluctant to give up, but she also felt it made sense.
Not knowing how to decide, she just picked up the fungi and left the place with the cicada and snake.
Only the Taoist, the maid, the monk and the two big ghosts were left.
The Taoist monks sat and stood, looking at each other, just like when they returned to Hezhou County.
"Amitabha, Taoist Master Song, long time no see."
"Master, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Does the Taoist priest know that the poor monk will come?"
"Fengzhou gathers all the wronged souls and resentful ghosts from all over the world. The master will come here sooner or later. There was an earthquake at the beginning of the year and the rivers changed their courses. I think there will be disasters in the future. The master travels around the world and practices and cultivates his mind. Just like Dr. Cai, the master will go wherever there is suffering. So I guess , if we are destined, we will probably meet the master here." Song You said to him calmly, "If I can't wait, I will go look for the master."
"What happened to the previous earthquakes and river diversions?"
"Master, please sit down and talk."
"good."
The monk sat down, turned around and pointed at the two big ghosts behind him, and said to Song: "These are the two ghost generals that the poor monk met on the road. They were both generals from the north who died in battle. The poor monk once told them I asked the Taoist Master about his trip to the north, and I heard that he almost had a fate with a fellow Taoist."
"At the end of the year, Yuansi was granted the title of "Feng Yuansi", and he was given the nickname "Big Er".
"The final general will be prosperous and righteous."
The two ghost generals raised their hands nervously, and then said: "We were confused for a while and made mistakes. When we were in Yuan'an City, Yanzhou, we heard that the immortal master was coming, and we were afraid of the immortal master's punishment, so we ran away at night..."
"I heard that the two generals came to Fengzhou with ghost messengers. They were ready to surrender in Fengzhou ghost town and accept punishment. However, they realized from the ghost messenger's words and deeds that the punishment might be particularly severe, so they escaped at night. After being freed from the shackles of ghosts, he has been hiding in Fengzhou." Master Yi once also said, "Later, I met a poor monk and was influenced by the poor monk, so I escorted the poor monk all the way to this place."
The monk's voice fell to the ground, and the two ghosts looked at each other, not wanting the monk to be in trouble, and immediately knelt down on their knees.
"I will admit my mistake and accept the punishment."
"Both generals are soldiers who guard their homes and the country. How can you kneel down easily? Please get up quickly. Even if you make a mistake and need to be punished, it is the business of the ghost city government." Song You raised his hand, "Speaking of which, I have had a close relationship with these two generals more than once."
"oh?"
"The two generals were brought to Fengzhou by ghost messengers. On the night of their escape, the two generals might have escaped later and met me."
"this……"
"It doesn't matter if you escaped. If you hadn't escaped, you two would be dead now."
The two ghost generals became even more frightened and looked at each other.
Instead, the monk in front asked: "But is it related to the earth dragon turning over and the river changing its course?"
"There are dragons, but they are not earth dragons, but falcon dragons."
"Appreciate further details."
"The imperial master at that time had evil intentions and burned the ghosts indiscriminately to achieve his selfish desires, causing them to torture to death in the flames. The gods and Buddhas in the sky only cared about their positions in the underworld, incense and power, and did not care about this. The current emperor wants to become the ghost emperor of the underworld after his death. It will exist forever, intensifying the war in the north, and even secretly sponsoring the enemy to create more resentment. In order to find a way out, the Yuezhou demon helped the national army, caused earthquakes and cut off rivers, and fought with me."
Song You used a very calm tone and summarized the general reasons in one breath, but it made the two ghost generals and monks open their eyes wide.
"The ghost city of Yeshan originally built by the imperial master was destroyed, so I have no choice but to stay here and rebuild the ghost city on earth. The underworld will be built on the basis of the ghost city on earth, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky have their own plans, so I have no choice but to stay here temporarily. Until the ghost town gets back on track.”
The eyes of the two ghost generals opened wider.
Song You looked at them calmly, but did not say anything to Master Yi immediately. He just said: "I want to build a ghost city on earth here. I can't leave easily, and I can't entertain the master, but I can ask a few Yin officials to guide me." Master, let’s take a stroll here, take a look around, and give you a detailed introduction to the origin and system of this ghost town.”
He paused and added: "I wonder if Master has noticed along the way that most of the ghosts here have not met a happy end."
"Why?"
"Although the way of heaven has evolved and it has become easier to become a ghost, relatively speaking, people who die in vain, violently, or unjustly are more likely to become ghosts, because their obsessions are heavier and they are more reluctant to leave. I have not solved their hearts. Perhaps the master can try his ability to marry or persuade evil ghosts to do good."
"Amitabha……"
At one point the mage stood up and said goodbye to him.
Song You didn't say anything and quickly closed his eyes.
The Master once had supreme moral character and immeasurable merits. There was really no need to say anything to him. The truth was in this ghost town. As long as he walked around in this ghost town, what he saw would naturally be the truth.
Song You only invited Yin Guan to guide him, and also asked Sanhua Empress to cook a pot of chicken and fir soup, without adding snakes, to entertain him.
…
It's gradually approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.
With the help of the yin and yang spiritual power of the fox demon maid, Song You's formation progressed relatively quickly. The ghosts in the ghost town couldn't detect the subtle changes every day. Only after looking around for a while did they suddenly realize that the ghost town seemed to be a lot bigger, and it seemed to be a lot bigger. It was already bigger than the original Yeshan. .
The ghost town is dim and dark. Sitting on a high platform all day long, doing only one thing, is really boring.
But one never gets tired of listening to the divine piano skills.
"It's Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Unknowingly, this fox demon has been playing the piano for half a year.
"It's time for a bright moon."
As he spoke, the Taoist waved his hand to the sky.
In silence, as if the heavens were wide open, a full moon suddenly appeared on the "dome" that had become far away. The lines on it were clearly visible, and the moonlight bathed the ghost city.
I don't know how many ghosts raised their heads at the same time, looking up at the top of their heads.
The woman playing the piano also stopped and looked up. Like the ghost, she might not have seen the moonlight for a long time.
The monk climbed up the steps and was already halfway to the stone pillar platform.
