Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 284

After Lin Zhuming had a big dream, he became somewhat awakened.

All the way to the south, while practicing Taoism and Dharma, while diving into dreams at night, giving enlightenment to some intelligent people.

Either make them interested in science, mathematics, or make them dream about the future world, seeing airplanes and cannons.

All in all, Lin Zhuming is quite famous, and many people remember it vaguely from their dreams. Among them, foolish believers carved statues with their memory. Although they have no names, they only install one. prayer.

This day, Lin Zhuming went to a place and saw dogwood planted everywhere, so he knew that it was the Double Ninth Festival.

The Double Ninth Festival is a festival of climbing high, a festival of loving the elderly, and it is also a relatively important festival of Taoism.

Autumn is high and crisp, and the fallen leaves are red in autumn. Many literati and poets have the feeling of admiring the red leaves.

Lin Zhuming sighed secretly, this year's drought and famine, autumn grain harvest, in many places is less than half of the previous year, or even only [-]-[-]%.

But these gentry officials actually have the heart to appreciate the red leaves.

Local officials concealed the drought situation, falsely reported grain production, and even stepped up the collection of taxes to maintain their official status.

After all, to be promoted nowadays, as long as there are no major problems and the money is paid frequently, it is the way to reach the sky.

At this time, Lin Zhuming also wanted to take advantage of the Double Ninth Day to practice and purify himself.

Many gods with their own records choose to ascend on the ninth day of September.This day is also Doum's birthday, which is suitable for eliminating disasters from the stars.

The Taoist patriarch, Zhang Daoling, Tianshi Shouyuan, was 123 years old. On the ninth day of September, he handed over the three-five male and female swords, Zhengyimeng Weifu, and Yangping Zhidu Gongyin as tokens to his son. , Zhao Sheng soared in the daytime.

The Great God of the Coast, the Queen of Heaven in folklore, Mazu Niangniang, said goodbye to her family on September [-], the fourth year of Yongxi Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, and ascended during the day on the ninth day of September.

And it is recorded that Tang Xie was natural, and on September [-]th, Xiaju ascended.

In the Taoist numerology, nine is the sun, six is ​​the yin, and the heavy nine is the extreme yang, and the multiplication of nine and nine is 81, which is Laojun's 81 transformation.

On this day, the clear air rises and the turbid air sinks. The higher the terrain, the more clean air gathers, so you can use the clear air to lift up the Yang God and fly away during the day.

Lin Zhuming also climbed a high mountain, and saw a pavilion, which occupies the place where the leader is the leader. It is uniquely blessed, and it is just suitable for receiving the fresh air.

He planned to stay there temporarily to practice.

"It's just that there are many people climbing the mountain, why is no one resting here?" Lin Zhuoming was a little curious.

Sitting down cross-legged, Liu Ding Liujia began to sweep away the dust, remove the evil, and recite mantras such as "purify the heaven and the earth" and "safety the land" to arrange a temporary dojo for Lin Zhuming.

"Oh, it's another outsider, not afraid of death."

The passing villagers shook their heads when they saw Lin Zhuming.

Lin Zhuming was a little strange, so he stopped an old man and asked, "This old man, the poor Taoist is meditating here. Why do you always hear passers-by say something about disasters? This place has good geomantic omen and pleasant scenery. You can look down at the place, and the mountains are red all over, so it’s clearly a good place to go.”

"Hey! Nong is from a foreign country. I don't know who the owner of this pavilion is."

"Does this pavilion still have an owner?" Lin Zhuoming asked, "Could it be that he doesn't allow others to rest here, and wants to keep property?"

"Hey, if the money can be sent away, it will be sent away, but he is dying!"

"Ah?" Lin Zhuming asked: "Could it be that there are some monsters living nearby that can harm people?"

"Yes, there are three great kings around this pavilion, one is on the east side, one is on the north side, and one is on the west side. These three kings often have banquets in this pavilion at night. If strangers stay here, it becomes their appetizer. .”

Lin Zhuming frowned: "Three great kings? My father-in-law, do you know what kind of monsters they are, which mountain tops, which caves, the poor Taoist has some skills in subduing demons and demons, maybe he can help get rid of these three scourges .”

"I advise you to leave earlier, even the mountain temple has been taken over by them. In the past, there were mages who said to eliminate demons. A few years ago, the government even invited Taoist priests from Maoshan, but nothing happened." The old man seemed There are taboos, and I dare not tell the Three Demons' heels.

Lin Zhuming asked again and again: "Let's talk about it, Pindao will stay here tonight and meet those three monsters."

"Ah! Good words are hard to persuade, damned ghost, seeing that you are young, so you pity your life, but you don't listen... Anyway, I will tell you the origin of those three monsters."

"This is Anyang City, and this pavilion is the Anyang Pavilion built by the county magistrate. A few years ago, there was a black wind blowing, and there were monsters here."

"Afterwards, people always disappear here."

"There is a demon among them, it seems to be a poisonous insect, quite powerful, stronger than him, can't resist his poisonous gas, weaker than him, even killed in two or three hits."

"The other monster is a wild boar, an old sow, who has been causing trouble for decades, almost surpassing an elephant, bringing its piglets to harm crops every year."

"I haven't heard of this old sow killing people before, but I heard that a few years ago, someone saw it walking on two hind feet like a human, and saw the corpse in the mountain, with traces of being bitten by wild boars. The winter before last, this pig woman The monster also went down the mountain to attack the village, and many people died, because the firearms couldn't hurt them, and the bows and arrows couldn't shoot them..."

"The last monster is a big rooster." The old man said, "As the saying goes, a dog doesn't live for eight years, and a chicken doesn't live for six years. But there is a colorful big rooster in Zhang Juren's house that has lived for many years."

"One day Zhang Juren had a banquet for his [-]th birthday. Many people came to celebrate, but they saw that Zhang Juren turned into a big rooster after drinking for thirty years. It only showed its original shape because of drinking."

"The guests chased away the big rooster and asked Zhang Juren's family members to find out that Zhang Juren had been dead for ten years, but not long after, the big rooster at home took on the appearance of Zhang Juren."

"Zhang Juren's wife and children were afraid that the goblin would hurt them, and they were afraid that without Zhang Juren, his family would no longer be rich, so they didn't announce Zhang, but acquiesced, so he was proud for a long time."

"Now that he has been seen through, he settled down in the nearby mountains, which is also a tyrant."

Lin Zhuming listened, and he already had some confidence.

Among the three demons, the chicken demon has the highest Taoism, and can already become a human being, and even take the place of a human being, and has been in the world for more than ten years.

The old sow has the lowest morals, but she is huge and very fierce. She might not lose to tigers and bears, and has a record of cannibalism.

The most difficult thing is for poisonous insects to become spirits. I don’t know what poisonous insects are, and they are foreign monsters. The local people only have a half-knowledge about them.

Lin Zhuming thought to himself: "The rooster and the poisonous insects are deadly enemies, so we can design a new design. As for the old wild boar, killing it can relieve the suffering of the people from famine. Without the monsters occupying it, there will be a lot of food in the mountains, which can be used as offerings." One or two."
