Chapter 375
Zhou Yuan didn't know why Kong Jue returned to Xingxiu Sect, but it was not to share what he saw in the White Head Mirror on the Moon Platform.
He needed to teleport the incarnation of incense back to him, so he went back to his room and rested for half an hour.
During this time, he controlled the incense incarnation to change into the outer shell of the land god statue, and then put on the armor with the inscription of Zhenxing, and the thick earth Zhenxing robe.
Then the two went to the Star Observation Hall together to see what Kong Jue had to discuss.
When the incense incarnation entered the Star Observation Hall, Kong Jue looked up at him and stood up to invite him to sit down.
"The two Zen masters are tired and exhausted from attacking the secret realm. Why don't you rest for two more hours."
"It's rare for the Star Lord to return to the sect. This time he returns, he must have something important to discuss. How can we keep the Star Lord waiting for a long time."
Zhou Yuan walked to the left of Kong Jue and sat down. The incense incarnation bowed and said that Daoxiang Land God temporarily took the position of Tude Zen Master and met Jinyao Star Lord.
"God of Fortune, no need to be polite. I see that your body and soul are not one, and there is a hidden aura of incense and fire with you, so you must be a god of fortune.
Having the God of Fortune join our Xingxiu Sect will surely prosper. I want to remove the title of temporary replacement for the God of Fortune and honor him as the Star Lord of Earth Virtue. Please do not refuse."
Kong Jue's golden eyes were very sharp. The moment he saw the incarnation of incense and fire, he found that his body was a clay sculpture, and there was a hidden aura of incense and fire all over his body.
For this reason, he immediately determined that he was the Zen Master of Earth Virtue, who was the third most respected in Baihe Village.
"Star Lord, you are polite. I am a friend of the Zen Master of Wood Virtue. I am also curious about the way of the stars that can communicate with the world, so I am willing to take the name of Earth Virtue."
After a few words of greeting, the incarnation of incense and fire sat down on Zhou Yuan's left, and the Taoist Ziqi, who was originally explaining the classics of the stars, also put down the scroll and sat upright.
At this moment, the three Zen masters Jin, Mu, and Tu from the visible lineage of Xingxiu Sect, and the four Taoists Ziqi, Yuebei, Jidu, and Luohou from the hidden lineage gathered together.
If this lineup did not discuss some uprisings, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
But Kong Jue did not care about the fine traditions of Xingxiu Sect. Seeing that Master Mu De no longer concealed it, he spoke frankly.
"Everyone, five days have passed since the Double Seven Secret Realm. Today is July 12, and in three days it will be the Yulan Festival.
There are many sayings about this festival in the folk. Whether it is the Zhongyuan Festival and the Auspicious Month in the north, or the Shigu Festival and Zhaigu Festival in Chu, they all say that the ghost gate opens on the 15th of July."
The Zhongyuan Festival was the first secret realm activity Zhou Yuan learned about in Jing'an County, and he naturally would not forget this special season.
But what he did not expect was that Kong Jue did not talk about the affairs of the Yu Kingdom, but talked about the secret realm phenomenon that had coexisted with the human world for many years.
"What does Xingjun mean by that? You want to use the ghost movement during the Zhongyuan Festival to search for the hidden ghost secret realm."
Not only Zhou Yuan was a little surprised, but Taoist Ziqi was also puzzled.
The Zhongyuan Festival will not last long after all, and the locations of various towns in the world have long been staggered away from the areas with many ghosts.
If you rest early that night, there will generally be no changes, and there is no need for defense and conquest.
"The Taoist priest is wrong. Those secret realm ghosts are constantly killed and appear every year. It is better to let them wander for a few hours and then return to the secret realm to be trapped."
"The Ullambana Sutra says that Buddhist disciples see the arc souls suffering in the netherworld, as if they are hanging upside down, and ask Buddha for salvation.
On the day of the 15th day of the seventh month when monks live in peace and indulge themselves, prepare a hundred kinds of food and offer them to the lonely souls of the ten directions to relieve their hunger."
What Kong Jue said was not a secret. Many monks in Liang cherished this festival, and the common people were also influenced by it and attached great importance to the Ullambana Festival.
In addition to providing vegetarian food to the people on that day, the temple also held a sutra chanting ceremony and a water and land ceremony, and the common people also burned incense and lit lanterns to mourn the deceased.
However, since Kong Jue mentioned this matter, he must not have invited the people of Xingxiu Sect to come down the mountain to provide vegetarian food.
After all, this matter can be done by ordinary people. As long as the money and food are in place, it is not difficult to provide a vegetarian meal for one day.
"I said that the Yulan Festival is about the ghost gate and the salvation of lonely souls.
Most people know that the ghost gate opens on July 15th and the ghosts in the secret realm wander around, but few people know that the ghost gate really appears on that day.
If you enter the netherworld through the ghost gate, you can stay there for three hours and return to the human world at dawn, otherwise you will have to wait until this time next year to escape."
"There are hundreds of ghosts in the netherworld, and there are also towns in the underworld, and some are more chaotic in the human world.
Ordinary teleportation techniques cannot cross the gap between yin and yang, and the gods of fortune are not included."
"I want to go to the netherworld to perform Buddhist rituals to save lonely souls. If you want to go, you can go with me.
Although this is an opportunity to clearly see yin and yang, it is difficult for the weak to survive in the netherworld, so the disciples of the Xingxiu Sect are not suitable to accompany."
Kong Jue knows a lot, which is not comparable to Zhou Yuan in the short term.
He has plans to go to the netherworld, and he doesn't mind bringing a few people with him, which is also a way to strengthen cohesion.
He mentioned the dangers, and expressed the benefits in a very implicit way, which meant not to lure people with benefits, but to accompany them if they needed to, without stopping greed.
Zhou Yuan was naturally no problem, as the incarnation of incense had a basic favorable impression on the ghost-like life, and many things could be discussed with his company.
Taoist Ziqi and his companions were more entangled. If they didn't go, they were worried about wasting the opportunity to examine the yin and yang, and the whole journey was only three hours, which would not delay other things.
If they went, they were worried that Jin Yao Xingjun would be busy with his own affairs as soon as he entered the netherworld, leaving them in the too unfamiliar netherworld.
After a moment of entanglement, Taoist Ziqi and Taoist Yuebei prepared to accompany them, while Ji Du and Luo Hou stayed in Wushan Cliff City.
"What do you two Zen masters think?"
"How can I refuse the kindness of the Star Lord? I am willing to follow the Star Lord into the netherworld to see the difference between the Yin and Yang worlds."
After Zhou Yuan agreed, the incarnation of incense also agreed, saying that although he was a god of fortune, he had never been to the Yin world, and he would definitely give it a try if he had this good opportunity.
"Okay, I went to get another Liangyi Zhichi mirror a few days ago and used it to record the location of Guimen Mountain.
You can make more preparations in the next few days. We will enter the ghost gate and the netherworld at 4:00 on July 15th."
After talking about the Zhongyuan Festival, Kong Jue looked at Zhou Yuan's incense incarnation again.
"The God of Fortune should have the ability to build temples. You can choose an open space in Yacheng to build a temple.
In this way, you can not only use the temple to teleport, but also enjoy the worship of disciples who reflect the stars. Although those incense are not pure, they are precious for their durability."
The effect of the community god temple is: a community god and a good fortune belong to it. You can build a temple in the territory to reflect yin and yang.
It stands to reason that it cannot be built outside the territory, but Kong Jue would not propose it for no reason.
Zhou Yuan carefully recalled the restrictions of the community god temple and found that Kong Jue's words did make some sense.
The requirement to build a temple in the territory should be that non-territorial construction will be refreshed by the secret realm rules and will trigger the local community god to counterattack.
But in the human world, there are no such restrictions. If there are enough building materials, it is not impossible to build a temple.
"Thank you for the reminder, Star Lord. I will try to find materials in the next two days."
At night, the mountain breeze was blowing and the fog was humid. Kong Jue stood on the top of the Star Observation Hall and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
"I turned Xu Zhen into a human, and Yuhua also became a human. After death, neither of us should enter the secret realm of the netherworld.
But the last picture in the Baishou mirror was the soul returning to Yinshan. It seems that there is something wrong with the red line divination."
