The Taoist continued to tell the story and listened to what he said: There is a rumor that there is a ghost named "Gui". It has a long face like a donkey, fangs like a tiger, long ears like a rabbit, a long nose like a mole, and a crown on its forehead. It has rhinoceros horns, is covered in ape-like long hair, and has eyes like a civet cat that always emit green fluorescence at night.
"End" likes to listen to stories and catch noisy children. If a child makes a noise at night, he will suddenly show up and take him away. In a village called Tongping, there is a family with a four-year-old child named Yin Lai. One night, Yin Lai didn't want to sleep and rolled on the bed making noise. Yin Lai's mother frightened him and said, "You like to catch disobedient children the most. Go to bed quickly, or if you hear this, I will definitely arrest you." Yin Lai became even more aggressive, rolling around on the bed and shouting : "You lied to the child, I don't believe it. I won't sleep, I want to play, I want to play, let Wan come and arrest me. Hehe." The mother got angry and blew out the oil lamp: "You continue to make trouble Let’s see if we arrest you or not.”
After closing the door, the woman deliberately left the room. When Yin Lai saw her mother leaving, she started making noise even louder. At this moment, two green eyes as big as wine glasses suddenly appeared outside the window, which frightened him so much that he dared not make a sound.
"Ding!" At this point, the Taoist suddenly knocked on the copper bowl. Everyone is surprised, why is the story of the Taoist so confusing and so simple?
Xuan Yi held his arms in his arms, his face wrinkled, and he said displeasedly: "Is this the end of the story? Master, you are teasing us. The story you told is too poor, and you never finished it. Those green eyes Is it over? Has Yin Lai been arrested? You have to make it clear." The Taoist smiled: "I have finished telling my story, and today's lantern narrative ends here." Xuan Yi jumped up and shouted: "Master, This story ends halfway through. I haven't heard enough yet, so I feel itchy and wonder how I can sleep at night. If this is the case, I won't sleep at night, so I'll let you come and catch me!" "If you keep arguing, Maybe that person will really come to arrest you." The Taoist smiled slightly.
"Come on then. I, Xuan Yi, have never been afraid of anyone. Where are you? Come and eat me. I, Xuan Yi, am not afraid of you." Xuan Yi stood with his waist pinched, raised his head and shouted to the sky. With a "hoo" sound, the oil lamp on the ground suddenly went out. A chill came over their heads, and everyone looked up and were surprised to see two green eyes as big as lanterns appearing on the beams. Xuan Yi was so frightened that he jumped into the Taoist's arms and shouted: "Master, the ghost is really here, catch her quickly."
The Taoist held Xuan Yi in one hand and held up the fly whisk with the other: "Since we're here, let's come down and talk."
The ghost was hiding in the beams of the room, and it was so dark that it turned out that he had been hiding and eavesdropping on the story. At this time, he opened his fangs, looked at the Taoist and said in a hoarse voice: "What can we talk about?" The Taoist: "There is a lot to talk about. After seven years of being a ghost, you have forgotten your identity. At least you have deep roots of kindness. , you have not created any bad karma, so that I can save you from transcendence, Yang Yuling will not return to your true self." The fly whisk swept away the pure air, and the ghost fell from the sky, the evil air dissipated from its body, and returned to the appearance of a green-faced female ghost in white clothes.
"Wow! It's her, it's her! She's the female ghost who fights Taoist priests on the street! It turns out you also like to listen to stories." Xuan Yi opened his eyes wide, pointed and smiled.
Guangqing Lu recognized that the ghost was his wife, rushed over, hugged the female ghost and shouted: "Madam! Madam! It's my fault that you can't live in peace after death. I am so ashamed of you as my husband." At this time, Yang Yuling He also regained his consciousness and cried the same way: "Woo! Husband, I am in so much pain. I seem to be falling into darkness, unable to see any light or hope. Loneliness and grief are like tides, drowning me, and fear and cowardice are like incompetence. The removed sandbags were pressing on my shoulders, why did I become like this? I'm in so much pain."
Guangqing Lu cried bitterly: "It's all my fault. I couldn't relieve my wife's pain during my lifetime, and I made her suffer again after my death. You are such an incompetent husband. I really want to die and become a ghost to accompany you." Yang Yuling He also cried: "Husband, I don't blame you. It's my own fault that I can't bear the suffering in the world. You should live well. If you are happy, I will have a little happiness."
The whole family hugged each other and cried, and the scene was desolate for a while. "Wow, I have traveled countless times in the world, and I have never seen such a loving couple or such a kind family. Master, you can always discover the special scenery in the world!" Xuan Yi was already lying in the Taoist's arms, watching the show with a smile. .
The whole family cried for a long time, then turned around and knelt down to worship the Taoist. Guang Tianxiang wiped away his tears and worshiped: "Holy Dao, now that the ghost of my daughter-in-law has come, please do something to make her transcend." The Taoist turned sideways and knelt down, helped the three of them up and said, "Don't worship me, like this Etiquette is archaic and unnecessary, and it is the duty of a Taoist to help the deceased transcend life.”
When the time came for the husband and wife to part ways, Guangqing Lu saw his wife crying and said, "My wife, I feel sorry for you in this life. If we meet again in the next life, I am willing to repay you twice as much. When the time comes, you must remember that this is the end of the world." We have been destined for a long time." Yang Yuling also cried: "Husband, you are my stars, sun and moon. Being able to see you is my endless blessing. Let me continue to look up to you in the next life." "Wow, when Even if you are a ghost, you can still say such disgusting words. Hey, I can't stand it." Xuan Yi stuck out his tongue.
Seeing that the couple was reluctant to leave, the old woman pulled the Taoist away and discussed: "I have a request. I wonder if the Holy Tao can grant it?" "Please tell me." "I know the laws of life and death in heaven and earth, and I also know the laws of forced change. Harmful. But I do feel ashamed of their couple. Now that Yang Yuling has cultivated the demon, and has taken up most of my divine power, she is already different from a mortal. I think I will help them, and give her all my magic power to make her a semi-immortal spirit. . In this way, she and Guangqing Lu can continue to live in the world."
"It's okay to do this. This Guangqing Road is a natural immortal. With his assistance, Yang Yuling will not make a big mistake as a half-immortal. However, if you give all your magic power to others, you will return to the dead. The earth may be reborn as a human being. Have you thought clearly about it?” “After reading the Holy Tao, I have understood that purity and inaction are immortals, and private pursuits are mortal. Since I have made a mistake, I should abide by the law, and I am willing to be reborn as a human being. , practice the great path again." The old woman said seriously. "In that case, I will fulfill your wish."
Looking back, the Taoist asked Yang Yuling: "Yang Yuling, do you know why you turned into such an evil ghost?"
Yang Yuling said sadly: "At that time, I died as a ghost and wandered in the wilderness. I did not forget the sadness in my heart, and gradually developed resentment towards the world. So the Yin energy hidden in the earth was instinctively attracted to me, and my Yin power began to strengthen. Thinking about it In retaliation, I began to devour the negative energy and wandering souls around me. As the evil grew, my appearance began to become ugly and my mind became more confused. Then one day, I felt that there was a powerful earth spirit here, which often Applying magic power everywhere. I waited for the opportunity and swallowed her while she was distracted by casting magic. Then my magic power increased greatly, and I could even control hundreds of miles of land. I became even more confused, and even forgot my identity. In my confusion, So I hid all the children in the town underground, making their parents suffer as much as me. Now that I have woken up, I regret it so much, please help me to transcend."
"Those who are close to the light will become brighter. Those who walk into the darkness will find it harder to find the way back. Yang Yuling, you have such a heavy heart that you have lost your way in the world. Now that you have awakened, you will return to the right path. If you have the chance to return to the sun, , are you willing?" Taoist.
"Huanyang?" Everyone was so surprised that they didn't know what to do, and then they were all overjoyed. Yang Yuling said happily: "It would be a great joy if I could return to the world and become a human again. But now that I have been dead for seven years, how can I still return to the world?" "It's cause and effect. You lost your twins because of the earth spirit. God acted in a foolish way, and now you have swallowed its magic power, and you have the opportunity to become an earthly immortal. If you are willing, I can help you reborn and become an earthly immortal. But there are differences between immortals and mortals. After you achieve the immortal body, you can no longer be greedy. If you admire the prosperity of the world, you must live a good life and practice well, otherwise it will cause great disasters."
"As long as I can be a human again, I am willing to practice and let go of my obsession. Please help me, Taoist." Yang Yuling likes to worship Taoist. "In this way, I can help you. But before you become an Earth Immortal, I will use a ruler to help you break away your mortal bones and break up your karma. You must endure the pain, otherwise you will be in danger of losing your soul." "I can endure it. Please help me, Taoist." Yang Yuling said without hesitation.
"Oh, master is going to get angry. I can't bear to see this kind of scene." Xuan Yi covered his eyes and hurriedly ran away. "Fusheng Boundless Heavenly Lord! The Taoist is about to begin. Please exit the front hall first, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to bear this painful scene." The Taoist picked up the ruler and asked everyone to leave first.
Except for the old woman, everyone left the front hall and came to the yard to wait. The Taoist raised his ruler, transformed into eight figures, and beat Yang Yu's soul body indiscriminately! "Ah!" Yang Yuling suddenly screamed in pain, screaming miserably, as if he had been struck by thousands of knives. At the same time, the knives were cutting into his skin, muscles, bones, and heart. Every inch of skin was cracked, layers of muscle were peeled off, and bones were shattered. It was the most painful thing in the world.
Everyone outside the hospital was waiting anxiously, and from the shrill screams, they could hear the suffering she had endured. The screams lasted for a long time, and the people of Qingfeng Town heard the terrible screams as soon as they returned home from the mountains. Everyone gathered outside the gate of Guangjiayuan, not daring to get close. After the beating with the ruler, sweat broke out on the Taoist's forehead. At this time, Yang Yuling's eyes seemed to have opened holes and emitted golden light, her whole body was like chimneys, and thick smoke was coming out, and all the wandering souls she had swallowed were spit out.
Putting away the ruler, he opened the coffin lid with a whisk, and the Taoist waved his sleeves to let Yang Yu's soul return to his body. He looked back at the old woman and said, "Sir, it's your turn. I will transfer all your divine power to Yang Yuling in a moment. January next year will be the time when you are born. Do you have anything else to say?"
The old woman threw away the crutches in her hands and clasped her hands towards the Taoist: "I only hope that I can listen to Dafa again in the next life." The Taoist returned the courtesy: "If you have a heart that yearns for the Dao, you will not get lost. Dafa is in your heart." The old woman said again. Said: "I will be reborn next year. The Taoist is the heavenly master who will guide me. Can you please give me a name?" "Okay. You are devoted to the Tao. You are a spiritual son given by heaven. I will give you a name." Call him Dao Lingzi." "Thank you Holy Dao for giving me the name, Dao Lingzi is gone." The old woman turned into a golden light and penetrated Yang Yuling's body.
When everything was ready, the Taoist walked to the courtyard and told Guang Tianxiang: "Honorable family, please go and ask the Taoist priests in the neighborhood outside the courtyard to testify that I have caught the evil ghost and want to save the town." You want to resurrect your daughter-in-law. In this way, no one will have any doubts about Yang Yuling's resurrection in the future." Guang Tianxiang said happily: "That makes sense, that makes sense, I'll go and invite her."
