Taoist chanting

Chapter 109 Don't be too greedy
All around suddenly fell into silence.

Zhang Wenfeng stared at the black willow bottle in his hand, and recited scriptures silently. After a long while, he calmly asked, "What conditions do you have? Let me know. I can consider it if it doesn't violate morality and conscience."

This remnant soul of the former mountain god who got into the bottle is an old and cunning guy.

Cleverly using words to guide him, let him discover a small flaw, bring up the topic of the willow bottle, and then lead out that this bottle is a rare storage bottle, so he couldn't help being tempted.

Nawu space treasures are extremely rare at the current stage of aura surge.

It is only seen in the description of classics.

It's no wonder that he can coexist with that thief who steals the gods for hundreds of years. This remnant soul is very scheming.

He obtained the treasure without knowing how to unlock it, if he used strong means to force the remnant soul, it might backfire.

The remnant soul deceived him in a wrong way, and it was very likely that the treasure he got would be destroyed.

What's the use of pinching the remnant soul to death then?
So it still has to be exchanged. The purpose of the other party revealing such a rare treasure is to survive.

The former mountain god laughed bitterly, and said: "Friend Daoist, you set the frame so rigidly, even if I have the conditions, it's hard to mention it."

Zhang Wenfeng didn't give in at all, and said: "You can't be too greedy as a man or a ghost. You don't tell me how to use the bottle. The bottle is still here. I want to figure out its use. It's just a matter of time. I'm not greedy."

He made his words clear.

The mountain god of the previous court had no choice but to meet such a lord who was not moved by treasures, no matter how much he calculated, he couldn't do anything.

Furthermore, this person is frighteningly shrewd, he is obedient and has a good friend, and he can infer other things from one example.

The air fell into silence again.

Zhang Wenfeng is not in a hurry at all. To deal with this kind of old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, he can only deal with all changes by remaining unchanged. First, draw the frame clearly.

When approaching Mitan Village, the former mountain god finally spoke.

"Okay, I only have one condition, you open the gate of ghosts and chant scriptures to save me into the realm of the underworld, and let me reincarnate as a human being."

Since he lived a miserable life in this life, he would think clearly about the next life.

After I really made a decision, I felt a kind of relief, and my whole body felt relaxed.

Zhang Wenfeng is really impressed by this guy, he has great wisdom.

This condition is not considered a condition for him. The only trouble is that the Nether Realm was not opened by his family, and it is impossible to guarantee that the remnant soul of the former mountain god will be reincarnated as a human being.

If this guy has committed a lot of crimes, what if the Underworld refuses to let him enter reincarnation?

Taking a step back, it is more likely that he will be reincarnated as an animal to atone for his sins. Will he not be a person who breaks his promise by then?
Some lies can be said casually, and a few baskets are fine.

Some things must not be said indiscriminately, especially if you promise to Shinto, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.

After Zhang Wenfeng thought about it, he said: "Let me specially open the gate of ghosts and recite scriptures to save you into the realm of the underworld. This condition can be agreed, but whether you can be reincarnated as a human in the next life is not up to me, but depends on the merit you have accumulated in this life." .”

The mountain god of the former court seemed to be very confident in himself, and said with a smile: "I was a diligent official during my lifetime, and I had good governance. After my death, I enjoyed incense for more than a hundred years. I kept everyone safe and never made any major mistakes. I believe I can be reincarnated as a human being."

Then he changed the subject and slightly modified his condition: "Can you allow me to rest in the ghost bottle for a little longer, it doesn't need to be too long, about a month, then you can choose a good day to open the ghost door and chant scriptures, Just save me for me, and you don’t need to guarantee anything else.”

Zhang Wenfeng thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, I promise you."

The deal was concluded, and the mountain god of the former court told Zhang Wenfeng the secret of how to open the ghost-raising bottle into the Nawu bottle through sound transmission.

He is generous, and he is not worried at all about the other party's breaking promises.

The way of gods and ghosts has its own set of rules of conduct.

Zhang Wenfeng wrote down the formula, unwrapped the torn package on his back, put it in a willow wooden bottle, so as not to expose it to the sun for a long time, and stopped it in a water tank that was not very tall but thick, with gnarled branches and thick walnuts. In front of the tree, he asked: "The evil thing has enchanted four ancient trees. I have seen peach trees, willow trees, and poplar trees. There is another one, but this walnut tree?"

He couldn't see any signs of the ancient walnut tree becoming a spirit.

On the south ground outside the old tree fence, there are fresh offerings and burnt incense candles.

"It's it."

The former mountain god breathed out a little breath, quickly retracted into the bottle, and said: "This walnut tree has good roots. It has been incensed for more than [-] years, and the age is still a little insufficient. It is estimated that it will take more than [-] years to have a chance." Enlightened into shape."

Not all ancient trees that have lived long enough can be turned into spirits.

Most of them are empty and long-lived trees. In the end, they can only be used as chopping firewood, and they are too hollow to make furniture.

Furthermore, the evil thing that enchanted the ancient tree had no good intentions at all, and didn't care about good or bad, it was for the purpose of devouring it to improve its cultivation in the future.

Zhang Wenfeng snorted, no wonder he couldn't see that it was still early.

Turning around and waiting to go down the mountain, he went to the mountain god and said: "For more than fifty years, if you can't wait, fellow Taoist, there is a ready-made trick to make this walnut tree absorb enough incense nutrients in advance."

Zhang Wenfeng stopped in his tracks and asked, "You mean that the incense from the mountain temple buried underground can be used?"

Except that there is enough incense there, he really can't think of where to get it?
"Yes. The power of incense and fire is not divided into the past and the present, but it is artificially restricted and differentiated."

The mountain gods of the former dynasty have a right to speak about the power of incense and fire as a matter of course.

Zhang Wenfeng thought for a long time, and then told the truth: "You want to take this opportunity to absorb some incense and wish power?"

The former mountain god smiled, and was not embarrassed after being exposed, and explained: "My remnant soul is too weak."

Dealing with the young Taoist priest in front of him requires a lot of energy. He needs to supplement the incense to strengthen his soul power. The most important point is that he wants to use the power of the incense to maintain a trace of soul when he is reincarnated as a human.

He has been a mountain god for many years and knows a lot about ghosts.

Seeing the other party's admission, Zhang Wenfeng pondered for a moment, and said, "There is a limit to everything, I hope you can absorb the power of the incense and fire, and don't exceed my limit."

This is a very straightforward warning, meaning there should be no next time.

He didn't dare to underestimate the remnant soul living in the bottle, he just wanted to get rid of it on the road as soon as possible.

In the two transactions, there were little unknown traps hidden in the words of the remnant soul.

"Success, don't worry, I won't ask for trouble."

So it was settled.

Zhang Wenfeng didn't stay any longer, and discussed with the remnant soul of the mountain god how to collect incense, and went down the mountain.

As a monk, he has a keen sense, and it is not difficult to avoid the villagers he may encounter on the road in advance.

Returning to Xianling Mountain, Zhang Wenfeng had only reached the middle of the mountain when he heard a donkey braying "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Monastery Lord, why did you become like this? You fought with the little dwarf again?"

The donkey went up and down the hill as if walking on flat ground. It drifted and swung its tail skillfully. It stopped beside the Lord, blinking its black and cute eyes and asked concernedly. The Lord's body was dirty and torn, even the package was torn. Yes, obviously a bad fight was fought.

He patted the donkey against the door, and then patted the young badger sticking out his head to imitate the donkey's movements.

Zhang Wenfeng smiled and said: "Let's go, let's talk when we go up."

The donkey was heartbroken about being trapped by the ancient tree sprites with illusion last night, and said via voice transmission: "Monastery Lord, I have been thinking hard for a long time today, and I have figured out a way to deal with those two slippery sprites."

"Oh, what's a good idea? Let's hear it."

"Let's not talk about it now, I'll show you when the time comes, but it's a pity that the little dwarf didn't come up the mountain today, otherwise it would be beautiful."

The donkey grinned and bared its teeth on purpose. It thought it was amusing.

The viewer gave it a slap on the ass.

The second senior brother and Yue Anyan, who were meditating in the main hall of the Taoist temple, heard the neighing of the donkey, walked out of the temple gate to the top of the mountain pass, and the second senior brother raised his voice to say hello: "The master is back."

The old cripple who was having a lively chat with Wei Xingde in the dining hall let go of the iron rod he was holding on to.

After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Wenfeng waved to Wei Xingde who was standing in the dining hall watching but could not come out, and said with a smile: "You can go home, those two evil things have been destroyed, and you won't have any more trouble."

Wei Xingde hurriedly smiled and took the two children out of the door, cupping his fists and saluting as a thank you.

Zhang Wenfeng briefly explained the matter, saying that the Daolu Branch of the county seat dispatched a lot of people to find the evil lair in Banni Lake, and fought hard to destroy the evil, so as to eliminate future troubles forever.

There was a lot of commotion at Banni Lake, and the villagers in the two nearby villages were already alarmed.

I just don't know what happened, and there are many discussions.

Dozens of people died in Banni Village, and the case was serious. Headmaster Wu unified the caliber and pushed the matter to the evil thing, but the evil thing had already been killed, so as to calm the hearts of the people and not cause panic in the nearby villagers.
