There are many mountains and rivers in the territory of Cangyun country, and the cloud layer is low, and when the fog is filled, walking in the mountain road, there is a feeling of walking through the clouds, like a dream.Jin Ling rode his horse for three days, and then led his horse along the steep mountain road for another day before reaching the top of a mountain.Looking into the distance, I immediately saw the gossip-shaped city looming in the sea of clouds, magnificent atmosphere.That is the capital of Cangyun Kingdom, Yunlan City, two stone towers, one black and one white, stand respectively in the city of Yin and Yang Pisces of the Shaoyin and Shaoyang positions, towering into the clouds, full of mysterious atmosphere.Jin Ling led the horse down the mountain from the plank road carved out of the mountain, enjoying the surrounding scenery along the way, without hurrying.When she walked down the mountain, it was already sunset, and a large number of tombstones and grave bags appeared on the hillside in front of her, and the cool wind blew the withered yellow weeds all over the mountain, giving people a sense of desolation and dead terror.The horse next to him neighed, raising his front hooves and not going any further.Jin Ling's brows furrowed, and as soon as she let go of the reins, her horse immediately turned around and fled.At this time, the last ray of daylight disappeared on the horizon, and a gust of wind suddenly blew on the flat ground, bringing the wind and sand all over the sky, and Jin Ling raised his hand to hide his face.Bursts of laughter of women and children suddenly sounded from all directions, accompanied by bursts of silk and bamboo, and red and bright lanterns lit up out of thin air on the originally dark hillside.Jin Ling put down his hand and saw an incredible scene.On the hillside full of graves and tombstones, the gloomy air is billowing, and those clouds that can be seen with the naked eye slowly form houses, archways, streets, men, women and children, as if it is an extremely prosperous and lively town, and she is already in the middle of the town at this moment.Flaming lanterns hang in front of each house, children come out of the house in twos and threes to laugh and play, and a vendor walks through the lively street with a burden, shouting for sales."
Ingot incense candles, good ingots incense candles" "Mother, mother, mother, I want to eat." ”The children dragged their mothers' hands, pointed to the merchant's burden, and kept swallowing saliva."
Merchants, wait, how to sell incense and candles", "one article of mourning candles, five articles of happy candles, and fifty articles of worship in the view." ”The merchant was surrounded by men and women around him, gossiping about the price, and the children who got the incense and candles cheered and held the incense candles and gnawed on them.It's the first time Jin Ling has seen such a ghost town, those in it are basically wandering ghosts, but that merchant is a living person.Jin Ling walked slowly in the street, and the wandering spirits just looked at her curiously a few times and walked away, not afraid of her, nor interested in her, as if they had long been surprised.There is also a temple in the center of this ghost town, but it is also formed by yin energy, and like these wandering spirits, it only appears at night.Jin Ling also found that there is no cold and fierce aura on the spirit here, but there is a very neutral and peaceful incense breath, if you have to talk about an attribute, this kind of incense breath is very decent, at least it will not make them become powerful ghosts, and it can also keep the spirit platform clear, thoughtful, and wise.In the past, the cultivation realm also had an orthodox ghost path inheritance, that is, absorbing the power of wishes and incense to cultivate into a dharma body, and then breaking away from the category of wandering souls and becoming a righteous path ghost cultivator, but the ghost cultivation path of this school had been lost long before Diaro was born.So much so that later ghost cultivators could only use yin qi and obsession, and if they were not careful, they would become murderous ghosts, so they were slowly characterized as evil monks and suppressed and eliminated by the righteous path.The wandering spirits here should not be the ghost cultivators of this sect, because each of them has this kind of incense qi on their bodies, and it should be the laws of this world, so that they can not enter reincarnation after death.It's just that Jin Ling couldn't understand how so many of them cultivated."
Kun Dao and so on."
Just now, the merchant caught up with the burden, and asked Jin Ling with a smile: "Look at the appearance of Kun Dao, it's the first time I've seen a ghost town."
Jin Ling smiled slightly, "Yes, it's the first time I've seen it, so I'm a little curious." ”Seeing the yellow paper money stuffed in the merchant's burden, all of which were used by the wandering soul to buy incense and candles, Jin Ling was puzzled: "What are these paper money for" The merchant smiled, took a piece and gave it to Jin Ling and said: "Kun Dao is a person in the Daomen, you should be able to see the special nature of this paper money" Jin Ling took it in his hand and looked at it twice, it was indeed not ordinary paper, but after being burned, it was a special paper made by condensing the paper ash with incense, which was also stained with the incense gas on those wandering spirits."
These paper money can't be seen as ordinary paper, this thing is worth a lot of money when sold in Taoist temples, and the talismans they make with this paper money are much more powerful than ordinary yellow paper, and I value this because of this, so I took the risk of doing this business."
The merchant explained.Jin Ling returned the paper money to the merchant, and glanced at the red and white incense candles in his burden, all of which were used, and some of them were very old.The merchant saw that Jin Ling was kind, not at all like those Taoist masters in the city, so he was extremely enthusiastic, "These are not worth anything to the living, they are all used up and have to be thrown away."
However, the candles used for funerals and celebrations are stained with the yang energy of the living, and these spirits like to eat the yang energy on it the most.It's a bit of a hassle to put away, but it's quick to sell. ”Jin Ling nodded, "I see, it's interesting."
But you often come and go here, aren't you afraid of being haunted by evil spirits" The merchant's honest smile was a little bitter, "Then there is no way, who made me poor without other skills."
It's a bit unlucky to be haunted by yin and evil, just be careful when you go out on weekdays, if you don't have this income, my mother and son and the children of the people in the house will have to drink the northwest wind. ”"Merchant, here are two candles."
Someone shouted in the distance."
It's coming, it's coming."
The merchant gave Jin Ling an apologetic look and trotted over with his burden.The merchant's business was very good, and as soon as he passed, he was surrounded by children and women from various households, and he looked very kind with a smile on his face, and often took the incense ash from the Taoist temple for the children's spirits to suck, so the children's spirits liked him very much, and kept passing through his body, giggling loudly.This will make the merchant contaminated with more yin and evil spirits, and if he doesn't get it right, there will be a bloody disaster.But the merchant didn't care at all, and still treated each of them with a smile, laughing and playing with them.There can be such harmony between people and ghosts, this is something that Jin Ling never dared to think of before, and the laws of this world are really interesting.Compared to the cruelty of the outside world, Jin Ling began to like it a little bit.t1706231537:
