The beginning of crossing the three realms Xiti life and death book

Chapter 38

Ye Chufan lowered his head and replied to Immortal Zhong Kui: "Immortal, I think he is doing well!"

"Fellow Daoist, stop making fun of me!" Zhong Kui said.

Zhong Kui sat in his mansion, pinched his fingers, and quickly sent a message to Ye Chufan, saying: "Brother Chufan, there is a vision in the sky, let the villagers leave quickly, it is now three o'clock in the hour of Xu, and starting from the hour of Hai, there will be strange events in Qianhun Village." Xiang. I will report to the King of Chu Jiang, and you must send the villagers away quickly!"

Look at the message Zhong Kui sent to himself.He looked at the sky again, and there was scarlet in the darkness of the sky.

Can clearly feel the imminent death.

Ye Chufan knew that something was wrong, so he asked Brother Zhou beside him, "Brother Zhou, how can we let the village names leave?"

"Leave? Impossible!" Brother Zhou didn't know what Ye Chufan was talking about. "Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How could we leave?"

"I'm talking about leaving for a short time. Is there any way? There will be a disaster here." Ye Chufan said hastily.

From Ye Chufan's expression, Brother Zhou could feel the seriousness of the matter, and said to Ye Chufan as if possessed by a demon: "We have a precept from our ancestors, there is a temple on the mountain, and there is a bell inside. When it rings, all the villagers will Go. At least the bell hasn’t rung since I was born. I wonder if it will still work?”

Ye Chufan stared at the direction Brother Zhou was pointing at. This Thousand Soul Village was originally located in the mountains, and all the houses were built against the mountains, and there was a temple on the top of the mountain with lights on.

In the dark, Ye Chufan felt that the temple was not simple, and immediately ran towards the temple.

"Big brother..." Brother Zhou shouted behind him, seeing Ye Chufan running up the mountain, he didn't know what to do.They also followed Ye Chufan.

Ye Chufan desperately ran towards the temple on the mountain. When he was almost at the top of the mountain, he met a young monk on his way.

"Benefactor! The abbot is here to invite you." The little novice looked hurried.Quickly lead the way ahead.

Ye Chufan also closely followed the steps of the little novice.Brother Zhou was still following him not far away.

Just before arriving at the mountain gate, Ye Chufan saw the temple door covered with yellow symbols.There are three words "Qingxin Temple" written on the dilapidated mountain gate.

The moment he stepped into Qingxin Temple, Ye Chufan felt as if his body had been enlightened.I saw an old man over seventy years old walking out of the Daxiong Palace, wearing a yellow patchwork robe.

Ye Chufan bowed respectfully to the abbot.

"Benefactor, I've been waiting for a long time!" The abbot clasped his hands together and bowed to Ye Chufan.

"Abbot!" Before Ye Chufan could finish speaking.

The abbot said to the little novice behind Ye Chufan: "Ring the bell! 81 beats!"

After speaking, he brought Ye Chufan to the mountain gate and looked down the mountain.

A bell rang behind him.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

The deep sound of the bell echoed in the mountains.

All the villagers were attracted by the sound of the bell, but they all stayed put.

At this time, the abbot looked at Shanxia and told Ye Chufan things that even Brother Zhou, who had lived in Qianhun Village for generations, didn't know.

This Thousand Soul Village was at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. A general brought his subordinates and family members here to live in seclusion.

After living in seclusion for several years, the general's village was attacked by barbarians. With his command ability on the battlefield, he repelled the barbarians, but a thousand villagers died.Blood flowed like a river.

The whole village was devastated and mourned.

The general also died on the battlefield.At that time, Qingxin Temple already existed. The presiding monk of Qingxin Temple and two junior disciples performed rituals for ninety-nine and 81 days in order to save the souls of the dead.Nine or nine 81-day Dafa rituals failed to save the souls of the dead, and the abbot passed away directly on the spot.This was in exchange for Qianhun's momentary peace.

The matter did not end there.

Then, in order to suppress the souls of the thousand villagers, the two younger brothers of the great monk led the villagers to build ancestral halls, and the last 81 households plus Qingxin Temple, a total of [-] households, formed a gossip formation in this mountain. .

Moreover, according to the ancestral teachings, the house can only be repaired, not overthrown and rebuilt, nor can it be moved. Even if the house falls down, it can only be built on the original site.

The abbot showed Ye Chufan the layout of the villagers' houses at the foot of the mountain, and a huge Bagua array appeared in front of Ye Chufan's eyes.This is where the name Thousand Souls Village comes from.And this Qingxin Temple is at the center of the Bagua array.

"Abbot! There will be a change from Haishi." Ye Chufan looked at the sky and said.

At this time, Brother Zhou, who was standing behind Ye Chufan and the abbot, was confused and had no idea what the two were talking about.

The villagers in the ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain have already heard the bell on the mountain.Many villagers began to discuss it.

"Old Li, did the elders in your family say that they would go to Qingxin Temple on the mountain when they heard the bell?"

"Yes! I asked my father, and my father said that this is also an ancestral precept passed down orally."

"My family has them too, but I've lived in this village for most of my life, and this is the first time I've heard a bell!"

"Village chief! The bell is ringing." Many people reminded the village chief of the bell coming from the mountain.The village chief's family naturally knew the ancestral precepts passed down from generation to generation.But looking at the half-finished rituals in front of me.I couldn't bear to give up in my heart.

Facing the people below, the villagers said: "The whole village, no matter men, women, old or young, all go up the mountain and gather at Qingxin Temple!"

Hearing what the village chief said, everyone hurried home, packed up their clothes, and walked up the mountain. Many families had children who had already fallen asleep. They came out to watch the ancestral hall being lively, and hurried home to take their children up the mountain.

When Ye Chufan saw the flashlights coming towards the mountain, he felt relieved. If he didn't evacuate in time, he didn't know what the consequences would be.I have never experienced such a thing myself.

"when!"

"when!"

The bell is still ringing.

"Abbot, little brother, what happened?" Brother Zhou was still in the fog at this time.

"To put it simply, because your Qianhun Village changed the location of the ancestral hall a while ago, now your ancestors have come to settle accounts with you." Ye Chufan said half-jokingly.

After ringing the bell, the little novice explained to Brother Zhou: "Under the ancestral hall is where the thousand souls suppressed by Thousand Soul Village are located. Didn't your ancestors tell you that houses and buildings cannot be moved?"

There is blame in the words.

Brother Zhou was so frightened that he knew the seriousness of this matter.

There are only two people in this temple, and this young novice must be the leader of Qingxin Temple in the future, inheriting the mantle of the old abbot.

Seeing the villagers approaching from the bottom of the mountain, Brother Zhou took the initiative to greet them and led the villagers up the mountain. The usually quiet temple suddenly became lively, with the voices of men and women talking.There were sounds of children crying.

The abbot settled the villagers in the main hall.After entering the temple, everyone became quiet, even the children stopped crying.

The last person to go up the mountain is the village chief.After confirming that no one was missing, the abbot closed the mountain gate, and suddenly a yellow barrier appeared, and a huge "*" appeared on the barrier. Of course, only the abbot and Ye Chufan could see this.

The little novice came out from the apse holding a tray, and a Zen staff was placed across the bend of his elbows.

"Master!" the little monk said to the abbot.
