Holy Bone

Chapter 739 Wild Temple on the Roadside, Dung-eating Hungry Ghost

On the faint Yellow Spring River.

Master Qingyun was at the helm, and the wooden boat moved forward smoothly.

A green candle lamp hanging on the bow guides them along the way.

Daoist Qingyun and the old Taoist discussed a way to return to Yangjian, that is to find a way to find a mountain temple or cemetery where there are incense and worship, find a way to Yangjian, and return to Yangjian.

This is like living people worshiping their ancestors, and the ancestors in the underworld can eat incense accurately.

But it is a bit difficult to find mountain temples or cemeteries in the underworld where there are still incense and worship, because the underworld is too big, bigger than the world of the yang.Moreover, the mountain temples or cemeteries are all on the shore. They are walking by water, and they have to go to the shore to search from time to time. If the search fails, they have to board the boat again and go to another place to continue to search ashore, because they cannot be too far away from the wooden boat. Prevent Daoist Qingyun from being unable to go back.

The farther you are from the Yellow Spring River, the deeper you go into the inland of the underworld, the probability of encountering those ancient obsessions that have lasted for thousands of years increases gradually.

The three spent a lot of time going back and forth like this, and after going through many empty temples or mass graves on hills where no descendants worshiped, they found another temple.

"This is already the third temple we are looking for. Could it be another deserted temple with an empty temple?" As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Excited at the beginning, there was no joy on his face but a sad look on his face.

"Old Taoist, when I was walking around the rivers and lakes, the more I didn't want to meet wild folk gods, the more likely I would encounter all kinds of wild temples that eat people. Sometimes I wanted to hide and there was nowhere to hide. Now I want to find a wild god who still lives with wild gods Temple, it suddenly became more difficult than climbing to the sky, and I don’t know whether it is good luck or bad luck.”

Looking at the wild temple on the roadside in the distance, Jin An was surprised and said: "The situation may be different this time, I smell incense!"

Jin'an knows the art of watching qi, and under his qi watching technique, the roadside wild temple was covered with dark clouds, billowing with black air, inhabited by evil wild gods, and in the black air there were curls of green smoke looming. cigarette!

When I got closer, I saw that the roadside wild temple was very simple. It was a windy wild temple built with bamboo sheds and hay. Because of the leeward relationship, I hadn’t smelled it before. Smoking makes people want to vomit.

The old Taoist immediately covered his mouth and nose with his cuff, and rolled his eyes: "My mother, why is this place so smelly! Which wild god is enshrined in this roadside temple? It's too smelly, isn't it?" !"

Because the stench was too foul, it condensed into a pitch-black turbidity that would not disperse.

The person who suffers the most is Master Qingyun. He is out of the body, without the protection of a physical body, and suffers from filthy qi and soul all the time. Even the soul-inducing lamp in his hand is greatly suppressed in this filthy place.

As a result, as soon as the three of them entered the roadside temple, they fled out in embarrassment immediately, with expressions on their faces that were more nervous than those of the previous three realms, especially the old Taoist priest who was the worst among the three who hated his parents for having two children. leg.

"You eat shit!" The old Taoist shouted in vernacular embarrassment while running.

Boom!

The roadside wild temple was smashed by an ugly humanoid monster wearing a decayed ancient armor, with a small head, a big body, a neck as thin as a needle, and many hands under his armpit. The dirty soil and black light roared and chased and killed the three of them.

Doing a lot of greed and jealousy, always cherishing stinginess, not doing charity, and eating unclean food, this person has bad karma, the body breaks up and dies, falls into the evil way, and is born among dung-eating ghosts.Burning with hunger and thirst, asking for dung and filth, but still not getting it.Its body is broken, it is unclean and smelly, it is hated by people, its breath is fishy, ​​and its teeth are black.

It turned out that Jin An and the others encountered dung-eating ghosts, no wonder they escaped in such a panic, even the daring Jin An could only run away in embarrassment, not daring to fight.

Would you rather fight with someone in a cesspit instead?

A miserly person who is jealous, greedy, good at lying and cheating, because he can’t satisfy his desires in life, he is too lazy to do things, he doesn’t like others, and he often lies behind his back and spreads rumors to hurt others. Unbearable, relatives and friends in life were far away from ghosts after death.The dung-eating ghosts are the same as the starving ghosts, with small hands and feet and needle-like necks, unable to eat normally, suffering from hunger and poverty, and the more hungry they are, the bigger their stomachs become.

The dung-eating ghost chased and killed the three of them for a long distance, and finally stood on the edge of the filthy air, not reconciled to watching the three of them run further and further away, roaring again and again.

The three fled all the way back to the wooden boat, and hurriedly paddled away from the shore. The old Taoist finally had time to complain: "It's really bad luck! What's wrong with me, I finally found a wild temple and met a dung-eating ghost! I don't know." Is the luck of the three of us too good or bad luck!"

"Could it be that some folks really enshrine dung-eating ghosts?" Jin An also took a while to recover, and really couldn't figure out what kind of people would enshrine such evil gods.

Old Taoist: "Yexiang women or night fragrance husbands, the business of pouring night fragrance is considered bad luck, so they can only work after the night curfew. After dark, everyone will put the excrement bucket and spittoon at the door in advance to wait for the night fragrance woman Or Ye Xiangfu will come to the door and throw it away, and take it back home in the early morning of the next day. It is said that if you walk too much at night, you will easily bump into unclean things, so some Ye Xiangfu and Ye Xiangfu will worship dung-eating ghosts at home. Come to drive away evil spirits and ward off disasters, both sides get what they need, and live in peace. There are also some people who believe that the family enshrines dung-eating ghosts, which can eat the special smell of the body and not be abandoned by others."

Master Qingyun couldn't help but look at the old Taoist a few more times. Even he couldn't help admiring the old Taoist who had seen a lot along the way.

These seemingly useless knowledge and knowledge often require a very rich life experience, accumulated bit by bit.

Encountering a dung-eating ghost can only be regarded as a small episode, and it does not affect the three of them continuing to search for the wild temple and return to the underworld.

But the underworld wild temple was not found. They found a little green fire suddenly appeared in front of them on the Huangquan River, which was suspected to be a ghost fire floating in mid-air. When the wooden boat approached, they found that it was not a ghost fire, but a lantern?
"Could it be that it's really a soul-inducing lamp, and I met another person who went to hell?"

In the end, they really guessed it right. It was a painted boat, exquisite and gorgeous, with carved beams and painted pillars.

The painting boat was quiet, like a ghostly building, there were no zithers and flutes, and the laughter of the beautiful lady Rouge came out. The three of them were not surprised at all. It would be really strange if the painting boat was beating gongs and drums and going out of the way.

Just when the three of them were looking at the boat, another green candlelight came from far and near on the gray misty river surface. It was a huge boat with a majestic mountain-like atmosphere, coming from another waterway.

"Today's underworld is really strange. Why did it suddenly become so lively! Besides, these people are all well-known and well-known families. Could it be that something important happened in the underworld?" The old Taoist just finished speaking in a low voice. The third soul-inducing lamp and the fourth soul-inducing lamp appeared on the river at the same place... The rapids rushed forward bravely, and they all went in one direction.

It was really said by the old Taoist that something big will happen in the underworld.
