One Hundred and Sixteen     The evil

In the fifth year of Xianheng in the Tang Dynasty, Tai Su Zhenren, a Taoist priest from Chuzhou, lived in the Sanqing Temple of Zhishan. He secretly practiced the virtues of the Yin, saved all living beings, and became famous, and was praised from all directions. He was secluded in the deep mountains, did not ask about worldly affairs, and devoted himself to seeking immortals and asking for the Tao.

There is a Lizhuang at the foot of Zhishan Mountain. There is a wealthy family named Li Xiang in the village. She is nearly 60 years old. One day in the autumn, her family was suddenly attacked by hundreds of ghosts at night. When she heard that Tai Su was able to subdue demons and demons, she prepared generous gifts and ordered several servants to drive a carriage up the mountain to invite her.

Taisu was surprised when he heard that all the ghosts were attacking people. He knew that this was a big deal. He was unavoidable, so he hurriedly went down the mountain with his servants and was invited to him.

When he arrived at Li's mansion, it was almost dusk. Outside the gate, Li Xiang was wearing a gorgeous dress, his face was anxious, and he had been waiting for him for a long time. The servant who led the way reported first. Mr. Li looked at him and saw Tai Su wearing a Bagua robe, with a high hair tied up, holding Buddha dust in his hands, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, slack body and crane bones, and refreshed spirit. He was so angry that he was a fairy-like Taoist bone. He was afraid that he would have a little reduced, so he stepped forward to greet him, bent over and bowed and said, "Master Taoist, I am old and weak, and I have not gone to invite him personally, please forgive me." Tai Su helped Li Xiang and said, "Don't be polite, but I asked, "Where will the incident of a hundred ghosts attacking people for no reason?" Li Xiang asked, "It's hard to say anything, please let the Taoist go into the mansion, and I will explain it in detail."

Li Xiang held Tai Su's hand and walked into the living room. The banquet had already been prepared in the hall. The host and the guests and hosts entered the table. After three rounds of wine, Li Xiang was still scared and said, "I am not aware. Last night, countless evil ghosts suddenly poured into the mansion, screaming and attacking people and animals. Everyone in the mansion was shocked. It was a pity that my uncle passed away. There was an ancient bottle of houses that was the magic weapon to drive away evil spirits. It blocked all ghosts outside the door. Otherwise, someone would have died long ago. The ghosts retreated at dawn. However, my uncle's ancient bottle broke. If all the ghosts arrived again, it would be difficult to resist disaster. When my uncle died, he once said that if there were strange things in the family, he could ask Taoist Master to come out of the mountain. Therefore, I sent my servants to the mountain to invite Taoist Master to disturb Taoist Master's practice."

When Tai Su heard this, he asked, "Wuliang Tianzun, how dare you ask who is your uncle?" Li Xiang replied, "My uncle is Yunfeng Taoist." Tai Su is a metaphor. No wonder Li Xiang asked me to come out of the mountain. This Yunfeng Taoist has known me for a long time and has sat with me to discuss the truth. Unexpectedly, it has not been seen for a few years, and it is separated by yin and yang. He was sighing and confused. It is rare for all ghosts to gather at night, but it is even rare for all ghosts to attack people. What do these ghosts want to do? He comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid of all the ghosts. If all the ghosts arrive again tonight, I want to describe them, where is the evil ghosts so rampant? I will get rid of them!"

That night, the bright moon was covered with silver light, the autumn breeze was swaying, the leaves were rustling, the night was long, and the sound was leaking. In the courtyard of Li's mansion, there was a gloomy and fear. Tai Su and Li Yuanwai sat with candles in the hall. Tai Su held a whisk in his hand, held his breath, closed his eyes and listened to the movements in all directions. Li Yuanwai was like sitting on pins and needles, and was very afraid. When it was almost ugly, suddenly, a cold air suddenly came. Li Xiang couldn't help but tremble all over and shouted, "Master Taoist, the evil ghost is here."

Tai Su opened his eyes silently, raised the whisk and stood up and walked out of the house. Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, then followed him. The two of them came outside the house and saw the dark clouds covering the moon in the night sky, and the rolling clouds exposed the heads of the most powerful ghosts. They all grinned, which was very horrifying. Li Xiang exclaimed in horror, "I see that the evil ghosts tonight have increased significantly compared to last night, more than a hundred ghosts, but more than a thousand!" Tai Su snorted, waved the whisk, and auspicious clouds rose, blocking the black clouds to press the top, and the evil ghosts retreated in horror.

The night was hazy, and ghosts overlapped in the distance. Suddenly, the ghosts scattered on both sides, and a official sedan chair appeared in the middle. Several ghosts carried the sedan chair and slowly came out. Li Xiang looked at it carefully and saw that the ghosts on both sides of the sedan chair were trembling with fear on their faces. He saw that the ghosts were blocked by the auspicious clouds and could not move in an instant.

Li Xiang stared at the sedan chair, could it be that thousands of ghosts opened the way and several ghosts carried the sedan chair? This sedan chair was rumored to be the King of Ghosts? Thinking of this, Li Xiang was chilling and looked at Tai Su in fear. Seeing that Tai Su was calm and had no timidity, his heart was a little relieved.

The sedan chair was several feet away, the curtain was raised, and a strange laugh came from the sedan chair, and the laughter echoed in the night sky. When everyone in the Li family heard it, they were frightened. When they heard it, they sneered in the sedan chair, "Old Li, I haven't arrived yesterday. You have been lucky enough to escape with your magic weapon. Now you ask the Taoist priest to cast magic again, haha! How can you survive?"

Tai Su was furious and shouted, "Don't be crazy!" Tai Su saw such an arrogant ghost in his life, and suddenly threw the whisk in his hand into the air, "Don't be fleeing!" The whisks were swept up in an instant, intertwined and entangled, turning into a large white net, falling from the sky, and pounced on it at the sedan chair. The evil in the sedan chair smiled grimly, rushed out of the curtain of the sedan chair, and rose into the air. Seeing that the black air of this evil was covered with black mist, it did not dodge, and let the big net cover it. When the net was closed, it penetrated through the net, looking at the big net as if nothing was needed, it floated out without any damage.

Tai Su was surprised to see it. He had never seen this incredible technique of avoiding bondage. He looked at the big net like a gas. However, he was surprised but not afraid. He raised his right hand and bit his index finger with his mouth. Blood burst out. He drew it in the air with blood. A talisman appeared in the air. The talisman shone brightly and flew straight towards the black fog. He wanted to suppress it, but the black fog smiled again and went up to meet the talisman and collided with the talisman. He saw the black fog passing by, and the talisman was dispersed. The black fog was still not damaged at all, so he continued to move forward.

The black fog rolled in and rushed towards Taisu. Li Xiang saw that the black fog was unstoppable, so he was shocked and staggered back. Everyone in the mansion hugged his head and ran away. Taisu was unreasonable, why did the big net and the talisman have no effect? ​​Although his face was as deep as water, he was still not afraid and quickly untied his waist and tied magic weapon. It was a treasure gourd. He pulled out the gourd and threw it into the air. A white light shot out from the mouth of the gourd to block the black fog. The black fog stopped and condensed a cold face. The two sides were stalemate for a long time.

At the stalemate, Li Xiang looked at it carefully. Under the white light, he realized this face and exclaimed in a burst of voice, "Li, how can you get here?" He gathered his face and sneered, and asked arrogantly, "Old man, are you shocked? I feel that my soul is scattered? No."

Tai Su heard that Li Xiang was talking to the evil deed and knew that Li Xiang knew this evil deed. He suddenly turned around and asked Li Xiao, "What is this evil deed?" Li Xiang calmed down and told Li Gu about the incident.

Twenty years ago, Likou fled to the famine and begged to the door of the mansion. Li Xiang felt sorry for his orphan, so he adopted him as a child servant. A few years later, Likou grew up, but he was sinister and treacherous, and often made trouble in the mansion, provoking all servants to make profits. Li Xiang knew that he denounced Likou's evil deeds. Likou repeatedly taught him and held a grudge. He did not think of his original kindness and colluded with local bandits to seek money and kill Li Xiang to death. A servant discovered it and told the master that he had not succeeded. The matter was exposed, and Li Xiang tied Likou and ordered the two servants to hold sticks to blame him. He was furious and ordered the two servants to blame him seriously. Unexpectedly, he failed and killed him.

The government pursued Li Xiang, who destroyed the wealth, was calm. He thought the matter had been over, but he didn't know that after a few days, the mansion was haunted and hit Likou and killed two servants one after another. Everyone in the mansion was frightened. At this time, Li Xiang's uncle traveled back to the mansion and cast spells to capture the ghost. Knowing that Likou was in trouble, Li Xiang was furious and asked his uncle to kill Likou's ghost. After many years, Li Xiang had forgotten this matter. After all, Likou had already lost his soul and disappeared between yin and yang. He knew that there was another sneak in the mansion, and Likou reappeared, how could Li Xiang not be shocked?

After hearing this, Tai Su frowned. Since Li's soul had dispersed, why did Li's mouth appear again? He thought about it and suddenly explained that he raised his hand, pointed to the black fog, and shouted, "You are not a ghost, but a sin." Tai Su finally explained that why Taoism had no choice but to Li's mouth, because Li's mouth jumped out of the three realms and was not in the five elements.

Li Gu was surprised and said, "Hey! Do you know my origin?" After all, in the Yang world, it is rare to know the background of it. Unexpectedly, Tai Su said that he was not surprised? "However, I am a stingy person. I am not in the three realms, transcend the five elements, and do not enter the six realms, and will never die. What can you do to the stinky Taoist priests? Who can surrender to me?"

Li Kou laughed wildly, after speaking, he opened his teeth and claws, trying to break through the white light shot out of the gourd. At this critical moment, Tai Su's eyes shone and made seals with his hands in vain. He pointed to the sky and shouted "Thunder is coming quickly!" As the words fell, the gourd was retracted, and the sky suddenly became dark clouds, lightning flashed, and thunder flashed, and in an instant, thousands of thunders fell straight down. Li Kou was not afraid at all, sarcastic, "What can lightning do to me? The method of the Five Elements is useless to me." He looked at this lightning and lightning, calm and fearless.

Just when Li's mouth was proud, he suddenly realized that the target of the thunder and lightning was not him. The ghosts behind him changed their faces and turned around and wanted to stop them. However, it was too late. The unprepared ghosts were all hit by the sky thunder and screamed in pain. In an instant, a large number of ghosts had their souls gone and disappeared, and the rest scattered and fled.

Likou saw that he was alone, and his feelings were not good, and his arrogance suddenly disappeared. He was frightened and turned into a ball of black mist and wanted to escape. At this time, a dark gate suddenly appeared in the air. The gate opened, and a vast white aura of Lunsang spread out from the door. Two powerful men in golden armor walked out from the door with a hook and chain gun in their hands. They lowered their heads and looked down at Likou. One of them shouted loudly, "You dare to leave the Minami Realm without any chance, and you will be punished for tens of thousands of years!"

When the words fell, the two powerful men suddenly disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in front of Likou. In the black fog, Likou turned away and wanted to escape. The two powerful men waved their arms, stretched out their hook and chain guns, hooked Likou. Likou struggled in every way, but could not escape, turned into a human form, knelt down and wailed, waiting to be captured.

The two powerful men held Likou, flashed their bodies, returned to the gate, and then entered. The gate slowly closed it and disappeared in the night sky. Li Xiang saw the arrogant and arrogant Likou, and he bowed his head in front of the powerful men like a child, without any resistance. He suddenly became a celestial being, and did not know which sacred place he was.

Tai Su felt relieved and whispered, saying to Li Xiang, "Li Yuanwai, you can rest assured. Li Gu has been killed, and there is no more evil to do." Li Xiang also let out a long time ago and asked Tai Su to enter the room. He asked, "What is 无? Where is the sacred place of the two powerful men?" Tai Su said, "When a person dies, he turns into a ghost, and dies as a ghost, and reincarnates again. However, before Li Gu died, he became a ghost, so he became a ghost and went to the palace to take revenge. Unexpectedly, your uncle shot him again. After his death, he became a demon. The evil has transcended the three realms and entered the nine netherworlds. The darkness of the darkness of the kingdom is a mysterious place. The guard is extremely strict and he is never allowed to leave the country without authorization, because there is no one in the world.

If you can surrender, Taoist magic will be helpless. I don’t know how Likou escaped from this place where heavy troops are guarding. If it weren’t for hearing that there were more evil ghosts tonight than last night and Likou had not arrived last night, then I would look at the momentum of tonight, Likou would not have to gather thousands of ghosts to cause trouble. I know that Likou was eager to avenge, so I used the energy of thousands of ghosts to cover it up to prevent being discovered by the guards of the Mingyou Realm. Therefore, I led the thunder to destroy all the ghosts, and all the ghosts were lost. The guards of the Mingyou Realm could know where Likou fled. The two strong soldiers were guarding the soldiers. Sure enough, Likou would be the result of his own. If Likou progressed step by step and slowly devoured the ghosts to cover their energy, then he would have no choice but to have a catastrophe!”

Li Xiang said that he was not afraid of Tai Su in the face of danger and was amazed by the clever plan to win. He still worried and asked, "Li's mouth turned from a ghost into a evil spirit. If he died again, what would it turn into? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to subdue it?" Tai Su laughed and said, "Li Yuanwai can rest assured that people die as ghosts, ghosts die as ghosts, and death as ghosts die as ghosts, and death as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to die as hope to be invisible and silent. Xi Yi is a turbid and hazy, without wisdom or spirit. What should I be afraid of? Remember, anyone who is a disaster for the people will eventually be punished."

Li Xiang pointed his head and said, "The way in the world will never overcome justice. If I had advised Li to speak kindly, if he had turned to evil, how could he have suffered today's evil."
