In the early morning, the Baiyun Temple with the first light of dawn looked strange. Wan Xuan was quietly doing Tai Chi on the field. The Taoist boy wandered around the entrance of the Taoist temple and recited the Tao Te Ching attentively.
On the mountain road, Lin Feng came to the Taoist temple carrying a heavy bag. The Taoist boy saw this and greeted Lin Feng's possessed body, saying, "Pilgrim, what are you carrying in your bag?" Lin Feng lowered a bag of things from his shoulders and replied, "This is good stuff." The Taoist asked, what good thing?
Lin Feng glanced at Wan Xuan, who was still practicing Tai Chi, and said to the Taoist boy, call your master and I will talk. The Taoist boy shouted to Wan Xuan, Master, someone is looking for him.
Wan Xuan still insisted on finishing a set of Tai Chi, then walked over and saw the familiar Lin Feng possessed and the bulging bag beside him. Lin Feng possessed Wan Xuan and said, "Taoist Master Wan, I carried a bag of rice from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain to support you Taoist priests."
Wan Xuan said: OK! Thank you very much. Immediately he gave a Taoist salute to Lin Feng's possessed body, and then called out the Taoist nun inside the temple to lead Lin Feng's possessed body to move the bag of rice into the Taoist temple.
After Lin Feng possessed him and left, at noon one day, he carried a basket of fruits from the foot of the mountain to Baiyun Temple and gave it to Wan Xuan. Wan Xuan called the Taoist boy and told him to send the fruit to Sanqing Hall to sacrifice to the gods.
Lin Feng smiled faintly and said to Master Wan, these fruits are specially made for you. Wan Xuan stroked his white beard and said calmly, "The gods are supreme. I will enjoy this fruit after I sacrifice it to the gods." Lin Feng possessed him and said, "It's up to you."
The Taoist boy looked at Wan Xuan and said knowingly, "Then I will send this basket of fruits to Sanqing Hall as an offering." Wan Xuan waved his hand and said leisurely, "You go, you go."
One evening a few days later, the Taoist nun came to the firewood house in front of the Baiyun Temple and was about to carry a bundle of firewood to the fire house to cook dinner. When she looked up, the familiar Lin Feng appeared again, sitting with her on the round stone table. Wan Xuan spoke in front of him. Lin Feng took out a wad of money and handed it to him, but Wan Xuan pushed it away and refused to accept it.
The Taoist nun slowed down the movement of moving the pile of firewood, touched the bundle of firewood with her hand, then retracted her hand, and stood there quietly listening to their conversation.
Wan Xuan said: Lin Feng, Lin Feng, you brought a bag of rice last time; you brought a basket of fruits again, and you gave me money today. I really don’t understand why you have been so good to me in recent times?
Lin Feng sighed and said, Taoist Master Wan, to be honest with you, I have something to ask you. Wan Xuan asked, what happened? You tell me!
Lin Feng's possessed body said directly, "Master Wan, I don't know whether you know it or not, but I am possessing Liu Xiong's body, and it will be ten years after one year. When ten years are up, my possession should be returned to Liu Xiong." .
Liu Xiong is currently working at the vegetable base in the suburbs of Fusicheng City, and he is doing well, but the ten-year deadline is coming soon, and he will return to Yang. Once he returns to Yang, his soul will return to its original place, which means that my soul is attached to it. I am no longer a human being, and I am going to become a lonely ghost again. I am not willing to accept it!
Wan Xuan asked in confusion, what do you mean?
Lin Feng possessed him and said, I want to ask you to start doing this from now on, to prepare for a rainy day and be prepared in advance. Lest when ten years are up, Liu Xiong's soul returns from the underworld to his own body. I just want to be attached to Liu Xiong's body for a long time and be a loving couple with Wu Ximei for a lifetime, only for a few decades!
Wan Xuan shook his head and said in an affirmative tone, this won't work, there is nothing I can do to prevent Liu Xiong's soul from returning to the Yang state, not to mention that your possession is his body and has been borrowed for almost ten years. You are not satisfied! I don’t want to give it back to him yet.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei borrowed money from Jingzhou but never repaid it, just because he violated God's will and ultimately paid a heavy price. What's more, what you are borrowing now is a human body.
When the time is up, you should happily return it to others with gratitude. However, if you are greedy and want to keep it for a long time, it is wrong to do so. A poor Taoist with a long shirt and short sleeves really can't help you. Even if we have a way, we can't help you. We cultivators must be moral. If we help you out of conscience, it will be contrary to morality!
Lin Feng's possessor said stubbornly and selfishly, "I am possessed by Liu Xiong's body for a reason. In the past life, Liu Xiong was a rich and powerful evil man who occupied my beautiful wife for ten years. In this life, my soul is still there." He has possessed me for ten years, and I will treat him as if he had repaid his debt to me in the past life for ten years. King Yama recognized this and even issued me a soul possession certificate.
At this point, Lin Feng knelt down and begged, "Master Wan, I have said everything I need to say. If you don't help me, I won't be able to get up from my knees."
Wan Xuan said with difficulty, "Okay, I'll give it a try and see if I can help you. I have to do my best to obey fate, and it depends on your luck." Get up quickly.
Lin Feng stood up and handed Wan Xuan a wad of money in his hand. Wan Xuan took the money but said I didn't want it. Turning around, he saw the Taoist nun standing in the woodshed and listening to them quietly, so he told her to come quickly and put the money into the merit box in the Sanqing Hall, just as this pilgrim had done merit.
The Taoist nun replied in a long and loud voice: Okay - she immediately came over, took the wad of money from Wan Xuan's hand, and walked towards Sanqing Hall.
The Yama Hall during the day is also eerie and extremely quiet.
King Yama had just sat down in the palace, picked up a pile of copywriting and was about to review it, when he suddenly heard a voice calling the King. He looked up and saw two Yins, one with a red face and the other with a dark face. They were leading a familiar-looking spirit body in.
Seeing King Yama carefully looking at the spirit body, he blushed and said secretly: Your Majesty, don't you recognize it? He is the Liu Xiong who came to this temple ten years ago to compete with Lin Feng's soul for his wife.
King Yama stood up and pretended to be shocked and asked: Which Liu Xiong?
The dark-faced Yin Chai explained with a smile: It was Liu Xiong who was possessed in the human world and whose soul was willing to be detained in the City of Wasted Death for ten years.
King Yama said, I remembered. He found a piece of copywriting and browsed it, then closed it and raised his head to continue. Yes, Liu Xiong's soul had expired after ten years of imprisonment in Wushou City. Now it's time to return to the world.
Liu Xiong's soul knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I came here specifically to ask for instructions to return Yang." To this day, Lin Feng's soul is still attached to my body. If I go back alone, Lin Feng's soul may not leave the possession. If he does not leave the possession, my soul will not be able to return. Can your Majesty send me a messenger from Yin to send me back to Yang, so that I can coordinate with Lin Feng's soul to prevent him from becoming greedy, unwilling to give up his possession, and causing trouble again?
King Yama said calmly, Liu Xiong, you have been wronged by ten years of detention in Wushu City. I heard that you were assigned to manage the vegetable base in Wushu City. You did a good job and you also contributed to Hades. This time you return to Yang, Hades will give you an additional 10 years of life. Years, that is, making up for the 10 years of Yangshou you lost in the underworld. Your original life span is 78 years. If you add 10 years, your life span will be 88 years. Looking at the instructions of the two Yin messengers, the two of you quickly sent Liu Xiong's soul out of the Yin and Yang world and returned to the human world immediately.
The two men replied in unison, "I obey the order!"
Liu Xiong's soul opened his voice and thanked the king for the compliment he just gave me. I'm still a little worried. If Lin Feng's soul doesn't give up his possession when he returns to the earth, my soul won't be able to return.
King Yama shook his hand and said, "Don't worry." You go to the underworld and send me an order from the underworld, asking Lin Feng's soul to return the soul possession certificate to the underworld as soon as possible. If there is any delay, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Liu Xiong's soul once again thanked King Yama. After that, two Yin messengers sent him out of the Yama Hall.
