[Those who seek immortality should serve the heavenly ghosts. 】
[In ancient times, people sacrificed to heaven and ghosts in the hope of immortality. The objects of sacrifice were not gods but ghosts. When Taoism originated, sacrifices were also made to the heavens, ghosts and gods. At that time, the art of the Three Heavens had not yet emerged, the Qi of the Six Heavens had not dispersed, and there were nine Qi in addition to the Nine Qi. The world is chaotic and full of beliefs. 】
[If you want to invite ghosts and gods, you must cater to the will of the "ghosts" and satisfy the needs of these "ghosts" through "human affairs" in the human world. Heavenly ghosts are the concrete embodiment of the will of God and the will of all people. They are existences that are summoned by the mutual echo between man and heaven. In ancient times, they played the roles of "immortals" and "gods" in the world today. 】
[The names of the heavenly ghosts represent the ritual that summoned them. After the rise of the three-day art, all the ghosts in the sky disappeared and no longer existed. They were only used in the classics as the gods, ghosts and officials of the Five Mountains. 】
Tiangui is a kind of sacrifice that was relatively prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was still relatively prosperous in the Han Dynasty. The theory of ghosts and gods has been around since ancient times. At that time, the boundaries between gods and ghosts were not clear.
"It turns out that they were sacrificed to the heavenly ghosts before Taoism took shape. So, the ceremony to sacrifice them, and even to control them, should be the Qingqiang sacrifice!"
"Now someone has opened the residence of the Heavenly Ghost, which means starting the Qingqiang Sacrifice, but there is no one to carry out the Qingqiang Sacrifice, so the Heavenly Ghost without control has started wreaking havoc everywhere. Is that so?"
"Use Sanguan Da Di to suppress. Indeed, in the origin of Taoism, San Guan Da Di is the worship of the three elements of heaven, earth and water. It is also the original deity that transformed from witches and ghosts into righteous gods. It is between ghosts and gods and righteous gods. In the subsequent continuous sacrifices, he was promoted to a personified Taoist emperor, and then took on the identity of the three kings Yao, Shun and Yu."
Ji Xiang recalled Yuan Huang’s warning.
The sacrifice of Qingqiang has begun, and the ancient evil god is about to appear. It swallows all souls and grows, which is closely related to the origin of Taoism. However, Yuqing monks cannot touch it, and clearly stated that it is something.
The ghosts of the Six Heavens were also invented by him, and the magical powers of Confucianism cannot be used here. Stopping when you see work, Leishan is a small fault, and you can only do one small thing.
What the Demonic Heavenly Master wanted to find himself was Zhang Xiu’s Qingcheng Spiritual Book.
Ji Xiang frowned.
Getting rid of these ghosts is one thing, and getting the spiritual book is also another thing. And if we distinguish big things from small things based on the noise, it is obvious that taking the book is the smaller thing and getting rid of the ghosts is the bigger thing. In other words, you have to Looking at the raging ghosts these days, we cannot eliminate them. Is this what Emperor Yuan means?
"There must be a way to have both ends."
Of course it would not work if the ghosts were allowed to run around these days. If one escaped, it would cause great turmoil. Even ancient immortals like Fairy Donghua can't resist the confusing power of the heavenly ghost. Aren't all the monks outside who are not immortals like leeks eaten by him at will?
Besides, ghosts aren't even the most important thing these days.
"Wear green clothes."
With a thought in mind, Ji Xiang changed into green robes. Fairy Donghua also used the art of transformation to change into green robes, recited the Thunder Sound Mantra, and escaped into the gray mist.
As Lei Yin opened the way, he could feel that there were many peeping eyes around him. They came from very far away, but they seemed to be around him at any time, containing deep malice. At the same time, the blank divine cards were constantly manifesting the ghosts of these gods. Name taboo.
[Hengwu Tiangui. 】【Anti-binding ghost. 】【No candle ghost. 】
There were three heavenly ghosts closest to the two of them, but due to the roar of thunder, they could only watch their actions. Qingyi and Leiyin are the methods used by the ancient Qiang people to control heavenly ghosts.
The deeper you go, the more blurry the scenery of the world becomes. Only the outlines of things in the back and even close at hand can be seen. This is no longer the influence of the fog, but the world has been changed by the ghosts and has become their sacrificial site. .
"If you don't find that stone tablet, you can't stop the Qingqiang sacrifice. However, the beginning of the stone tablet sacrifice should be someone's deliberate move. I once saw a strong Tianxin with a golden halo all over his body in my future vision. , he blocked my peek into the future, and the Demon Master also mentioned the existence of this person, and he was filled with awe-inspiring aura."
"The Tianxin strongman of Confucianism? But ask Emperor Yuan, didn't he say that the things here are related to the origin of Taoism?" Fairy Donghua's face is still pale, and there is no way to quickly recover her energy in this sacrificial site.
"." Ji Xiang did not respond, but had a guess in his mind.
Emperor Yuan once talked about the Six Heavenly Ghosts, saying that they were just figments of the evil being, but the Six Heavenly Ghosts were ghosts and gods derived from the Six Heavenly God of Confucianism. Since it is a derivative, it must have its source.
【Reborn. 】
"What? What do you mean?"
Ji Xiang was immediately startled, because at this moment, four words were suddenly projected from the blank divine card in his eyes. The activity level of this thing has indeed increased, but this sudden four-character prompt still makes Ji Xiang confused at this time.
However, a strange feeling began to grow in my heart.
Reborn.
Change bones.
Taoism means to take off the mortal body and transform into the holy body.
When it comes to rebirth, the body shines like the sun shining through a bright window and reflecting the dust.
Combined with the situation at this time and the speculation in my heart.
"Could it be said that the evil thing was not originally a Taoist thing, but a Confucian thing? In the early days when Taoism had not yet become a religion, a certain great monk used the influence of this evil thing to accidentally achieve a state of rebirth and was able to open up a new path. This person is."
"Zhang Daoling?"
After all, the founder of Taoism was the Ancestral Master Zhang Daoling, the leader of all the heavenly masters. But before he formally established the religion, there were other people in the world who inherited the Taoist ideas of the pre-Qin Dynasty and opened up paths for practice. Just like before Sakyamuni became a Buddha, there were ascetics in the world.
There are always similar people blazing similar paths. Moreover, the art of three days also began to rise from the ancestors of the heavenly masters, and the heavenly ghosts also declined at this time.
Zhuangzi School, Huang-Lao Taoist School, and Immortal School.
"But Monk Yuqing is a unique name for the monks under Yuanshi Tianzun. If this evil thing is from ancient Confucianism, why is it related to Monk Yuqing?"
Ji Xiang kept thinking, and suddenly the voice of Fairy Donghua came:
"Look here! Everything in the heaven and earth here has been plundered by the ghosts. No matter whether it is living or dead things, mountains, rivers, trees and grass, the essence of the sun and moon, and all living things, only the outlines are left."
“It’s not that we can’t see clearly, it’s that this place is no longer the human world!”
Donghua's shout pulled Ji Xiang out of his thoughts, and he stretched out his hand towards a stone in front of him. Although he touched the shape, he couldn't see its specific shape, and it didn't have any mass at all. It was like holding a ball of cloud.
"Woo-"
The voices of the heavenly ghosts began to approach, and the sound of thunder lingering around seemed to gradually weaken with the changes in the world.
"Although the ancient laws are strong, don't look down on the laws of this world. The laws are progressing and the years are changing."
Ji Xiang frowned, and the demonic energy in his body began to surge. In this sacrificial world, the Heavenly Killing Dao was circulating. The sounds of the surrounding Heavenly Ghosts were frightened and quickly retreated. In later generations, the confrontation between heaven and demon ended with the victory of heaven and demon.
But there is a limit. There are so many heavenly ghosts, but Ji Xiang cannot invite more demon kings to deal with them. Fighting a group of ghosts with one demon will inevitably fail.
"How can we find the spiritual book like this? The imperial army is nowhere to be seen, but those people should be dead."
"By the way, where is the rebel leader in Bozhou? He opened the Qingqiang Sacrifice. He should have been devoured by the ghosts?"
Fairy Donghua asked casually.
"Yang Yinglong"
Ji Xiang spoke, but just as these three words were spoken, the surrounding ghosts began to become restless.
"Woo hoo, hahaha."
Weird cries and laughter, only the outlines of mountains, rivers, heaven and earth appeared, the vague faces of those ghosts appeared, surrounding the two people and began to rise and fall, accompanied by black hands and feet, it was like some kind of terrifying mural came to life, and gradually Yes, after a while, Ji Xiang could see that they seemed to be performing some kind of ceremony.
"not good!"
A crisis arose in my heart, but at this time...
Boom--boom--boom--
Huge footsteps appeared in the distance, accompanied by a lot of frightened roars!
"Someone is shouting that name again, it, it's here again!"
"Are they reinforcements sent by the imperial court? We are wrong here, run!"
Some flags soon appeared in Ji Xiang's field of vision, and accompanied by a large number of grass-headed gods and monsters, they were running away in panic. When they saw Ji Xiang, they immediately shouted for help like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw:
"It's Taoist Master! Taoist Master, help me!"
Ji Xiang hurriedly ran forward, grabbed a grass-headed god and asked, "You guys have been trapped here for more than a month? Where is Yang Yinglong?"
The grass-headed god was extremely frightened and just pointed behind him: "Here he comes! He is here!"
"The dead are all hanging in the sky. This is no longer the human world. We saw that monument. It was not the ghost-faced monument that the court said."
"Isn't it a ghost-faced monument?" Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, and Caotou Shen panicked: "We didn't touch that monument, it's in front of Wawu Mountain! But, the guy is still dead, we caught him in the first place! "
Ji Xiang's heart suddenly became excited.
It's not the Ghost Face Monument. Yang Yinglong didn't offer sacrifices to Qingqiang, but he still died. That must be the ghost-faced monument opened by the Confucian Tianxin strongman!
However, I had previously guessed that he needed the help of others, and he couldn't take action on things here. What's going on?
Is there anyone else here? !
What you see in the future is different. However, if the future is unchangeable, and this change occurs now, there is only one possibility.
The future we saw at that time was simply wrong!
It was not the Ghost Face Monument opened by Yang Yinglong in the first place!
"I saw the future wrong! I was deceived!?"
Just when Ji Xiang was surprised.
An extremely huge black figure appeared in the world of mountains and rivers with only its outline remaining. He stood in the sky above his head and had his feet on the earth. His face was blurred, except for a pair of huge eyes with a white halo that were particularly clear.
With its appearance, the sky also glowed with a little light, but there were no clouds or fog. The sky was also empty, and some light appeared. Then, floating and hanging from the empty sky, they swayed like willow branches, densely packed. The objects were all hanged corpses.
Text also appeared on the blank divine tablet.
[The first sacrifice of Qingqiang is to worship heaven. 】
[Ghosts high in the sky: The Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, the Lord of all ghosts in the six directions and in the world! Once driven by female youth! 】
