Chapter 150: The residence of the gods?(1/2)
The Yin Yang Jie Yamen in Dong County was busy.
The sacred dharma of the Earthly Empress was placed in the main hall. Dozens of people wearing black clothes sat cross-legged and started fasting and meditating one day in advance to welcome the gods.
A mage wearing a white robe walked in from outside, accompanied by seven or eight Taoist priests.
At a glance, one can tell that the white robe is the person in charge of the Jie Yamen. In the Wei Dynasty, he called him the Yin Official of the Jie Yamen, and among the people, he was called the Master of Samsara, who specialized in sending people into the underworld.
The eight or nine people who came in were all the people in the entire Dong County Jie Yamen.
They are all Taoist priests who truly belong to the Yin and Yang Realm Yamen system and have Taoist registration.
The white-robed mage glanced at the Divine Dharma Driver and nodded.
Then he asked a Taoist priest next to him: "How are the preparations for tomorrow's incense ceremony?"
The Taoist priest of Jieya handed over his hand: "As usual, it has been prepared for a long time!"
Another Taoist priest at the back came forward and said, "Every household in the city will start to close their doors tonight and recite the name of the Goddess of the Earth. We have also gone to check it out."
A 17 or 18-year-old Taoist priest standing at the end also said: "My disciple also personally sent a letter to the underworld, and received a response from the Earth Queen."
Although it is a ritual event held every Monday and Friday, these Dongxian Yin and Yang Realm Yamen Taoist sects are extremely cautious when doing it one by one, and do not dare to neglect in the slightest, for fear of making mistakes.
It can be seen that this matter is very important to them and is closely related to their lives and futures.
The white-robed mage looked at the god's Dharma Chariot and the statue of the Earth Lady: "I hope that this time the harvest of the incense offering will be more, and that you and I can survive and leave here as soon as possible and go to the county.
"
It seems that the Dong County boundary Yayin official is quite unwilling to be on duty in such a lower county.
No one noticed the car passing by Jie Ya before.
Not to mention that there was a faint smoke suddenly filling the air above the well of reincarnation.
It was slightly different from the cold air, it was ethereal.
The carriage drove away, but Yun Jun suddenly appeared in front of the carriage.
"Master Dao! Everything has been done!"
"Every move in the entire Dong County is already under Lord Yun's control."
"The Yin Well of Reincarnation is about tens of meters deep. Not long after you go down, you will see several white paper lanterns hanging on the wall of the cave."
"On the front of the lantern, it says Dongxian Yin Palace, strangers are not allowed to enter."
"There is a painted grimace on the back."
"There's something wrong with the light of that lantern. If it were a mortal, it would be deprived of consciousness on the spot. Moreover, the grimace painted on it also serves as a warning."
"It's just a little trick like this, you can't find me at all." At this point, Yun Jun went through the usual self-promotion.
The Taoist asked: "What happens after we go down?"
Yun Jun stopped immediately and continued: "There are several forks after you get to the bottom."
"One leads to the earth vein fire chamber, which is a place where corpses are burned!"
"One leads to an underground palace, extending in all directions, with the words Yin Palace written on it."
"Jun Yun took a look. There were a total of forty-five people inside, and there was only one monster. She should be the Land Lady."
"Those people from the Jie Yamen are responsible for the sacrifices outside. The land empress lives inside. I don't know what role she plays."
The Taoist nodded, drove the donkey to turn around, and walked around the avenue towards the alley.
"Let's go! Let's see tomorrow what kind of ritual this so-called incense offering is!"
"Now you know what the ghost god of the Yin and Yang Realm is doing."
—
Lu Xiaolang ran all the way carrying the medicine box and arrived at the door of his house.
Looking left and right, he didn't see the donkey cart he wanted to see, and there was a worried look in his eyes.
But after entering the yard, I saw a donkey crawling in the yard looking at the sky, and a pair of my own children were laughing and surrounding their college.
Where the sun shines, a Taoist priest sits on a wooden chair and reads a book.
The cart was parked in the corner of the yard, and General Donkey finally got off the cart.
Although the weight of this donkey cart is about the same as not having it at all for General Donkey, General Donkey, who is naturally restless, feels like he cannot run around happily dragging such a cart.
Not long after getting rid of the shackles of driving, the donkey general had not even run around for a few laps when the two little guys in the yard set their sights on it.
At this moment, a man carefully touched the donkey general's fur ears.
One touched the fat ass of the donkey general.
Let General Donkey twist around, these two brats just refused to give up.
General Donkey is about to explode.
It opened its huge mouth and exposed two rows of white teeth, trying to scare the two children.
As a result, a carrot was stuffed into his mouth.
The Donkey General took advantage of the situation and started chewing, his two thick lips protruding, chewing particularly happily.
"Gu Kua!"
"Gu Kua!"
I only remembered to eat, but for a moment I forgot what I wanted to do.
"Little donkey, eat the carrot!" The little boy stroked the donkey general's head.
"Dad! A guest is here, a guest is here!" The little girl who was crawling on General Donkey heard the sound of the door opening and raised her head. She shouted happily when she saw it was Lu Xiaolang.
"Here comes a Taoist priest and a donkey." The boy also stood up and said happily.
"This donkey is so big! So fat!" The little girl drew circles in the air, as if describing the donkey general's fat butt.
"Much taller and fatter than the donkey we saw before."
Lu Xiaolang stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Taoist Master Kongchen."
Kong Chenzi stood up and said, "Excuse me."
It was getting late, and after dinner, Lu Xiaolang was packing his medicine box and sorting out the medicinal materials outside the door.
The Taoist stepped out of the door and looked at the full moon rising in the sky.
Tomorrow is the fifteenth, and the moon today is already like a silver disk.
The Taoist suddenly asked.
"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Ling was also taken away by the so-called Land Empress, right?"
The Taoist suddenly spoke, which startled Lu Xiaolang, and the question he asked shocked Lu Xiaolang even more.
"how do you know?"
The Taoist smiled slightly: "I am not blind, I am not blind. When you talked about the land queen, you made all kinds of doubts and speculations. Unlike other people in the city, you didn't have the slightest respect."
"Talking about the fact that people often disappeared in the first fifteen days of the year, and the pain looming on the eyebrows, it also means that someone close to you must have suffered from this disaster."
"And in your house, I only see a pair of children, but not Mrs. Ling."
"If you think about it for a while, you already know it."
Lu Xiaolang stood up and saluted: "Taoist priest has such sharp eyes, what he said is absolutely correct."
The Taoist looked at Lu Xiaolang and asked, "Tell me about Madam Ling!"
This is the purpose of the Taoist coming here, to understand from this Lu Xiaolang what kind of existence this earth empress is.
Lu Xiaolang let out a long sigh.
"I, Lu Xiaolang, am also a blessed man. Although I am not good-looking and was just a schoolboy in Ping An Pharmacy at that time, I married a wife who is as beautiful as a fairy and gave birth to a pair of children."
"Although I am not from a wealthy family and my life is ordinary, for me, Lu Xiaolang, I am already satisfied."
"Just a few years ago, during a sacrificial ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year, my wife, children, and I worshiped the Empress of the Land together, hoping to ask the Empress to protect our family's safety."
"At that time, the land empress's chariot had just passed by us, and the gongs and drums kept beating. I knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up."
"But when Daofa drove by, I got up and found that my wife was gone."
"I was so panicked that I looked around all night. I searched all over the city and outside for several days, but I couldn't find anyone."
"A living person disappears in the blink of an eye."
When Lu Xiaolang said this, tears filled his gown.
"Later, others said that my wife was taken away by the gods."
Lu Xiaolang spread his hands: "The gods took it away. How can we mortals find it? Can we go to the place where the gods live to find it?"
The Taoist frowned and asked, "How many people are missing like this in the city?"
"In the past, our Dong County did not worship the Earth Goddess. It was only in recent years that we worshiped this deity."
