Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain
132. Rakshasa Festival
Rakshasa, also known as black Rakshasa, Rakshasa, Rakshasa, Luoqchasa, Aloksasa, also means the evil soldier of hell. It originated from Buddhism and is rumored to be the fierce god in ancient times who ruled.
Demons and monsters in the heavens and the world are inspired by Buddhism, and Rakshasa vows to protect Buddhism and practitioners of the righteous Dharma, so they are regarded by the world as the patron saint of Buddhism.
During the Dynasty of the Great Yu, everyone in the world respected the Divine Court, and there was no holy land in the world. The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism existed side by side. Buddhism at that time was divided into two branches:
One is Zen and the other is Brahma.
Zen Buddhism regards Sakyamuni as its ancestor and is good at Buddhism. It believes that all dharmas are empty and the five roots of the world are impure, so it will cause suffering. Therefore, Zen disciples must abandon all emotions and desires and cultivate their karma to save and transform the world.
It is one’s duty to be empty-minded;
The Brahma sect establishes Rakshasa as its sect, practices martial arts, and pursues the theory of the five aggregates. It believes that all suffering in the world arises from the five aggregates of the human body. The five aggregates are color, feeling, thinking, action, and consciousness, which refer to the human body's response to the outside world.
All physiological and psychological induction, if you want to escape from suffering, you must have the five aggregates empty, including their martial arts, which are also derived from this theory.
Brahma disciples do not need to take precepts, and they never shy away from the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. They believe that the world is hell, and their highest pursuit is to strip away the five aggregates of the world and get rid of the suffering in the world.
But if you want the five aggregates to be empty, you must strip away all physical and psychological feelings of the human body. Theoretically speaking, there is only one way, and that is death.
But as long as you join the Brahma sect, there is another way, because the Rakshasa god that the Brahma sect believes in is the savior who comes down to earth to strip away the five aggregates of the human body.
The strength of the original two branches of Buddhism and Brahma is far inferior to that of Zen. Even Zen always wants to reverse the teachings of Brahma and integrate them into itself, but it has never been completed.
The turning point of everything happened more than 1,300 years ago.
In the last years of Emperor Wuzong's reign, the world was in chaos. Conquests from various forces in the thirteen states continued, and the people were in dire straits. The Brahma Sect's methods miraculously overshadowed the Zen Sect and attracted many believers to join. As a result, its strength surpassed the Zen Sect for the first time.
The increase in strength naturally brings about the expansion of desires. Originally, Zen wanted Brahma to integrate into itself, but now the roles were reversed. Brahma began to infiltrate Zen, and conflicts began to break out.
There are still three thousand nails in the ruined ship, not to mention that the strength of the Zen Sect has been far superior to the Brahma Sect before. At the beginning of the war, the Zen Sect relied on many years of foundation to compete with the Brahma Sect, and neither side could do anything to the other.
It is said that they are all branches of the Buddhist sect. No matter how hard they fight, it is still an internal conflict. But the Zen sect really can't stand it. The Brahma sect, which has been suppressed by itself, is now able to draw a tie with itself. In anger, they brought in foreign aid.
.
This foreign aid is now the founder of Qinjian Villa in Jizhou, Zhao Yulong, the general marshal of the Yu Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Yulong controlled the most elite soldiers and horses of the Yu Dynasty. Once he joined this battle,
The Brahma Sect was defeated without any surprise.
If it hadn't been for the help of the Jin Dynasty later, the Brahma Sect would have been destroyed by then.
Originally, there was an internal conflict within the family, but Zen's operation of pulling in foreign aid allowed him to win, but it also successfully intensified the conflict into a split.
Ever since, Brahma decided to break away from Buddhism and stop playing with Zen!
After independence, the Brahma Sect took a different approach. The former leader Duanmu Hong changed the Brahma Sect to the Rakshasa Holy Sect, transformed into the Rakshasa God, walked around the world, and was widely accepted by followers. He worked hard for decades to conquer Yongzhou, and transformed the original Buddhist sect into a new one.
The branch that left in embarrassment developed into one of the top ten holy places in the world.
July 30, 1322 in the New Yu Calendar, Rakshasa Festival
In the Hou family's house, the five Hou brothers and sisters gathered together. Hou Yuduan was telling the four brothers and sisters the origin of the Rakshasa Holy Cult.
"No wonder the other three of the five masters went to pay homage to Master Fanyin, but Yuankong and Yuanfa did not go. It turns out that the two families are still feuding!"
Hou Yucheng, who was standing next to him, heard that the Rakshasa Holy Cult had finally counterattacked and became a holy place. Thinking of what happened to the five masters during this period, he suddenly spoke thoughtfully.
"I don't like those bald donkeys. The monk Buzi who appeared in Zhaoyang before. I feel like he has a hypocritical energy all over him. It's annoying to look at..."
The third youngest Hou Yuling spoke at this time. It seemed that the impression left by the monk Buzi in Zhaoyang City was a bit bad.
Hou Yuxiao saw the disgust on Sanniang's face and immediately lowered his head and chuckled.
These matters regarding the Ten Holy Lands were not considered secrets. Although he did not know them as carefully as Hou Yuduan, he had read them and knew a little bit about them.
The feud between the Zen sect and the Rakshasa sect has lasted for thousands of years. Although the two families share the same sect, their hatred for each other is already deep-rooted.
Although Leiyin Temple of today's Zen sect is known as a quasi-holy place, compared with the Rakshasa Holy Sect that occupies Yongzhou, there is definitely a gap. The greater the gap, the more bald donkeys in Leiyin Temple will undoubtedly be affected.
The more imbalanced it is, the deeper the hatred will naturally be.
Now that the Rakshasa holy religion has declined, the fact that Leiyin Temple came all the way here is enough to prove that this hatred has already penetrated deep into the bones of Zen Buddhism.
In the same way, the Rakshasa Sect must also be extremely disgusted with Zen Buddhism.
It's just that this time the five masters came over. Although they secretly had evil intentions, they openly wanted to kill demons, so both sides were very restrained.
"It's hard to settle such old disputes. From the perspective of future generations like us, it was clear that the Buddhist sect was in civil strife, but the Zen sect brought in foreign aid to help. It must be reasonable for the Brahma sect to be dissatisfied and leave.
However, compared to the Zen sect, the teachings of the Brahma sect are indeed more hostile, and they are also suspected of deceiving the believers. Therefore, even though they occupied Yongzhou and became a holy land, they have since been labeled as demons.
Gains and losses!
Although the Zen sect won, it also gained a reputation for colluding with outsiders and was despised by the world. Zhao Yulong, the foreign aid he brought in back then, is now occupying the magpie's nest. Not only has he taken over Jizhou, but he has suppressed him everywhere.
Well, they are reaping the consequences."
Hou Yuduan sighed, and suddenly, there was a blast of gongs, drums, and cannons outside. The five people suddenly looked at attention, and they all stood up and looked up at the door.
"As soon as the drum is blown, the Rakshasa Festival begins!"
Every year on July 30th, the Rakshasa God comes to the world to save some of his followers. This is the origin of the Rakshasa Festival.
In order to welcome the gods, mortals must beat the drum three times at the end of Youshi, Xushi and Haishi to welcome the gods.
The five brothers and sisters have all grown up in Zhaoyang, and this is not their first time celebrating the Rakshasa Festival, so they naturally know this.
A glimmer of light rose in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. The Rakshasa Festival, which has been planned for several months, has really begun since the first sound of drum beating.
As soon as the drum is sounded, it means that it is the end of the Youshi period!
Hou Yuxiao looked outside the hall and found that the sky had turned completely dark. His face suddenly became serious, and he turned back to look at Hou Yujie first.
"Fourth, what did Gui Yutang say?"
"As soon as the drums are beaten and we start gathering people, we must go to the county magistrate's office to report it by the time of Youshi at the latest. This is a big event tonight. Fan Longhe has something to say first. Anyone who dares not to arrive before Youshizheng will be directly regarded as a treason against the Holy Cult. Luo
Clean up immediately after the festival!"
Hou Yujie stood up and replied. A few days ago, when Fan Longhe and the nine influential forces in the county were discussing the Rakshasa Festival strategy at the Sacred Heart Residence, he was the one who went with Lao Wu.
After hearing this, Hou Yuxiao turned his attention to the second son, Hou Yucheng.
Hou Yucheng understood and stood forward, clasping his fists and saying: "I have already assembled the two thousand men and horses in the clan, and there are 740 warriors above the fifth level, all of them are nearby."
Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Tonight, the warriors below the fifth level will not be able to play any role. Let them all stay in the house on standby. Second brother, I will let you lead the 740 Hou clan warriors to find Gui Yutang.
If nothing happens, all the troops from the Fu Army and the Jiu Family will be transferred to Shilipo later. You just need to follow Gui Yutang, and remember that the main thing is to protect yourself!"
Hou Yucheng first nodded and obeyed, then showed a hint of doubt and asked: "We have Hou's token on us. The demons under Miss Hong will not hurt us, right?"
Hou Yuxiao shook his head, glanced at Hou Yuduan next to him, and then replied to Hou Yucheng: "She has occupied the Qinglong Society, she has been planning for so long, and she has deliberately attracted so many warriors. Who can be sure of what she will do.
In short, everything is based on safety. It’s hard to save such a small amount of family property. You must be cautious. If there is any situation, I will notify you immediately. If I am not available, you can judge it yourself according to the situation. In short, five words.
People don’t contribute.”
"Yucheng accepts the order!"
Hou Yuxiao was almost certain that these five words were not just what he said. The other eight mainstream forces in the county tonight definitely had the same mentality. After all, Fan Longhe's Juncheng Mansion still had 30,000 soldiers in front of them. These nine mainstream forces
People are definitely unwilling to contribute.
But, can they think of it, but the county magistrate's office can't think of it?
"If the county magistrate forces you to take action, then it depends on who you are dealing with. If it is a demon, then you can attack specifically in my direction. You must remember to maintain a good formation and not mess up, otherwise you will easily be accidentally killed by the demon.
,Understand?"
This is the biggest guarantee that the Hou family can maintain its strength tonight. Fan Longhe, with his army and the warriors from their nine families, has to deal with the Qinglong Society, or the demon behind the Qinglong Society. As long as the Hou family's warriors gather together,
Even if the situation is chaotic, Hou Yuxiao can still come up with a good solution.
You can even do other bad things on the battlefield...
A cold light flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes, and he turned his gaze to Hou Yuduan.
Hou Yuduan nodded slightly, took out a bag from behind, placed it directly in front of everyone, and then slowly opened it.
A burst of bright copper-colored light emanated from the bag. Everyone took a closer look and found that the bag contained a bunch of tokens of the same specifications and colors.
Those tokens are about the size of a palm, made of wood, edged with brass, and engraved with the word "Qinglong" on the front, which is the Qinglong Order designed by Gao Cheng himself.
Hou Yuxiao picked up the token and input the zhenqi into it. He noticed a strange aura in the token. His expression suddenly changed. He looked at Hou Yuduan and asked, "Have these tokens been tampered with by Miss Hong?"
Tonight, except for the five masters and some people who knew the inside story, most of the warriors came for the Qinglong Token, so Hou Yuxiao asked Gao Cheng to prepare a hundred Qinglong Tokens early.
Unexpectedly, just yesterday, Miss Hong's subordinate Yang Xin came to him and said that they would make the Qinglong Order. After it was completed, Miss Hong would personally give it to Hou Yuduan.
The token must have been tampered with. The reason why Hou Yuxiao said this was because he wanted to know about Hou Yuduan. He had no idea what tampering was involved.
"I am not sure as well!"
Hou Yuduan nodded. He also knew that the token had been tampered with, but he really didn't know exactly what Miss Hong had done.
Hou Yuxiao investigated for a while, and then thought of Miss Hong's cultivation level, so she gave up her plan to find out. After counting the tokens in the bag, she raised her head and said in confusion: "There are ten silver ones and three gold ones. She doesn't have any."
Prepare?"
There are more than a hundred Blue Dragon Bronze Tokens tonight. These are just assassination tokens that can target tenth-level warriors. At most, they can only make a small fortune for the family. The real money comes from the gold and silver Blue Dragon Tokens. Besides,
Well, it is the latter two that really attract so many warriors.
It’s not like Miss Hong doesn’t even know this!
"She only gave me these one hundred. The other thirteen may be with Yang Xinluo, or she will take them out personally when we get to Shilipo..."
When Hou Yuxiao heard this, a hint of gloom suddenly appeared on his face. Firstly, he pointed at the other thirteen Qinglong Tokens to make money, but Miss Hong didn't give them to him. Secondly, it wasn't right not to give him such an important thing.
What a good sign.
Miss Hong obviously doesn't trust herself that much anymore...
Thinking of the incident of killing Gu Chenfeng, Hou Yuxiao shook his head helplessly, feeling as if he shot himself in the foot.
"Second brother, you go first and call everyone outside the door to come in!"
Hou Yuxiao didn't hesitate on this issue. He calculated that time was almost up and asked Hou Yucheng to take the more than 700 people to the Juncheng Mansion to find Gui Yutang.
Hou Yucheng nodded and obeyed, stood up and walked out the door.
Seeing the eight people standing outside, Hou Yucheng suddenly smiled. Without waiting for everyone to salute him, he waved his hand and said: "Everyone, come in!"
The eight people nodded lightly and slowly walked into the room. When they saw Hou Yuxiao standing in the hall, their expressions suddenly showed a touch of emotion, and they all bowed in unison.
"Subordinate, please see the head of the family!"
The eight people were Hou Fei, Hou Ying, Hou Cun, Wang Gong, Gao Cheng, Gao Hu, Xiong Nutao, Zhang Kong, and Hou Yuxiao. Feeling the fluctuations of Gang Qi on the eight people, a touch of excitement suddenly appeared on their faces.
He himself, including Hou Yucheng, Hou Yuling, Hou Yujie, Hou Yuduan, plus Su Li who went to Wanyang County, there are currently a total of fourteen warriors above the Gang Qi realm in his family.
In addition to the more than 2,000 warriors in the clan, more than 700 of them are above the fifth level and can serve as soldiers. This is already an extremely terrifying force.
Looking at the world, this power is certainly nothing.
But in Tongling County, apart from the three parties, the Warden of the County Cheng Mansion and the Daluo Sect, it is undoubtedly the most powerful force.
All this happened in less than a year.
It's not enough, it's far from enough. This is just the starting point. The Hou family's strength is only the beginning. The Rakshasa Festival that is about to begin is the clarion call for the Hou family's strength to increase again!
A trace of ambition flashed in Hou Yuxiao's heart. He took out twelve masks from his arms and gave one to each person. He watched everyone take the masks and put them on their faces. Finally, he also took out a three-headed green dragon evil ghost mask.
, cover your face.
These masks were sent by Miss Hong from Yang Xin. They were obviously not mortal objects. Once they were put on the face, they instantly merged with the skin, completely cutting off the breath of the outside world. Since the breath was cut off, it must also be able to cut off the breath.
Observed by others.
This red girl has so many treasures...
After Hou Yuxiao sighed, he raised his head and looked directly at everyone, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
"I obey my orders!"
A group of twelve people all changed into a set of blue uniforms and dispersed after leaving the Hou Mansion. Then, taking advantage of the gradually darkening night, they all rushed towards the ten-mile slope east of the city.
The annual Rakshasa Festival has arrived as scheduled.
In Tongling County, there are lanterns and colorful lights everywhere, and people are moving around.
Every household has a statue of Rakshasa deity.
Just like celebrating the New Year, warriors, common people, the elderly, children, poor and rich all put on new clothes and took to the streets to wish each other peace.
"The Rakshasa is immortal, the Holy Religion is eternal
All my disciples can see the five aggregates
Good and evil are all empty, God descends universally
Infinite Hell, Ksitigarbha in the Ten Directions
Female Rakshasa, save me from my misfortunes
The Holy Light leads the way to a pure land without difficulty."
Hou Yuxiao was walking eastward among the crowd, and heard the whispers of countless Rakshasa believers in his ears. Looking at the crowded crowd, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"The Pure Land of No Difficulty, is there really such a place in the world?"
