Chapter 278: Reciprocity and Harmony between Man and Ghost

Yu Fei looked at the ghosts who were busy working below, and really wanted to rush down, catch one and ask, as a ghost, working for the living in the Yin Spirit Realm, don't you feel ashamed?

Then by the way, I asked what was the reason why they were so abnormal, and they didn't live as well as mortals in a realm where ghost cultivation was respected.

However, after struggling for a while, I still gave up this idea, if I am used to using violence to solve problems, then one day when I encounter a problem that cannot be solved by violence, I will be overwhelmed, and this habit cannot be cultivated.

In the cultivation realm, for a monk, helplessness is commonplace.

Yu Fei sighed, temporarily suppressed the puzzle in his heart, left the furniture factory, and came to the dyeing workshop, sewing room, and agricultural product processing room to observe one by one, and found that every ghost was working seriously, in an orderly manner, more serious than the living person.

After turning around, although he still couldn't figure out the reason, it was not in vain, Yu Fei found that these ghosts were not forced to work here, but voluntarily, and the Yin Spirit Realm was always the territory of ghost cultivators.

Judging from their expressions, they are all meticulous, and those who count pieces are even competing for hand speed, which can be said to be quite active, but I don't know what the reason is, after these people become ghosts, they still work so hard, while those who are alive enjoy themselves all day long.

In addition, there is a detail found that most of these ghosts are elderly people, although the ghosts look much younger, but it can still be found that when most of them turn into ghosts, they should be old, as for the reason, it is still impossible to speculate.

Yu Fei took a turn, left the town, and came to the countryside, where there are also many ghosts working in the fields and farmhouses, and they are all technical jobs.

For example, the one who sprinkled the seeds over there, directly used the soul power of the ghost cultivator to dig the pit, and then controlled the seeds to fly into the pit one by one, using the soul power to cover up and water, although the speed was not as fast as Yu Fei, and it could not be done in one go, but compared to mortals, the efficiency was many times higher.

In addition to the fields, in the farmhouse, the ghost repairs also control the flow of water to clean the cowshed, control the tile to fill the loopholes, control the white ash to renovate the house, and even do such work as sweeping the floor, feeding the pigs, and taking out the garbage. Basically, as long as it is necessary for living people to do it, they do it, except for eating, drinking, and having fun.

While observing, Yu Fei suddenly found that there was a ghost fire opening the way on the official road, and the scale was quite large, and the cyan glow burned in the air, illuminating a piece of heaven and earth.

Yu Fei was curious, and flew over to take a look, it was a team of Yin soldiers, there must be five or six hundred ghosts, holding a green or yellow ghost flag, engraved with a wolf totem, and walking mightily.

In the middle is an old-fashioned sedan chair, the golden bead curtain flows down from the top of the sedan chair, the dazzling red lines cover the entire sedan body, the cyan window cloth swings with the wind, and a wolf totem is also engraved on it, but it is majestic.

A group of ghosts came from the level of the mountains and flew into the distance.

Yu Fei secretly thought that it should be a ghost with status passing by, and said that he was angry, thinking that it was a new discovery, but what he saw was pretentious and boring arrangement, delaying the investigation time, and he turned around and flew away with a disgusted glance in his eyes.

Returning to the countryside again, a lot of the work in the fields has been completed, and they have returned home with farm tools, some of the ghosts have been helping the living people prepare the dishes to be eaten the next day, and they have all been washed and placed neatly one by one, more dutiful than the old mother, and some of the ghosts will also go into the water to catch fish, and then wash and cut them into slices, and put them on a plate.

Yu Fei suddenly thought that the smoke of cooking could be seen at noon in Anle Township, indicating that most of the living people still cook and eat by themselves, thinking that if the ghost repairs to cook it for them, when they wake up to eat, it is already cold and not delicious, so they can only cook by themselves.

Yu Fei looked at it with interest, there must be a special reason behind this, and he would not believe that there was love and dedication for no reason in this world.

A busy night, Yu Fei's feet did not stop, and the ghost hands did not stop, at this time, the official yamen came from the sound of beating again, "Knock-knock! knock! knock!", one slow and four fast.

Yu Fei looked in the direction of the watch and muttered: "It's three o'clock in the morning, although I opened my eyes and saw strange scenes, but I had more doubts in my heart, and it was a bit difficult to solve this puzzle." ”

And at this moment, those ghosts seemed to have received a unified order, and they all put down their work, even the vegetable cutting stopped, and the cattle feeder also put down the straw in his hand, and began to search around, making strange movements.

Some were wandering in the gutter and by the water, as if they were perceiving something, and suddenly they found that they stopped with joy on their faces, knelt down, and inhaled hard through their noses, and Yu Fei saw a trace of white gas condensed from the air and was inhaled into his body.

Some are in the slaughterhouse, and after some searching, they open their arms and inhale deeply, and a trace of red gas like blood mist is inhaled into the nose by the ghost, revealing a sense of satisfaction.

Some are in the latrine, sucking in feces.

Some of them found the person who had been oppressed by evil during the day, and lay flat and floated in the air, sucking the evil qi from his body face to face.

Some sit in the teahouse, but instead of drinking tea, they breathe in and out a trace of yellow gas into their nasal passages.

Yu Fei finally showed a smile, a thin veil began to be lifted, and with excitement he continued to wander between the villages and towns to observe, all the ghosts stopped their work after the watch, and made strange sucking movements everywhere in the world.

Yu Fei thought of some information about ghost cultivation that he had checked before coming to the Yin Spirit Realm, and compared them one by one in his heart, and gradually had some eyebrows, but he still called out Song Luo and confirmed: "They are inhaling the fireworks of the world, right?"

Songluo nodded, "Yes, you see the one who is by the stove, called the stove burner, who is sucking the breath of food, the one who is lying next to the dead corpse, the one who is called the carnivore, who is eating the infectious germs on the corpse, the one who wanders by the water, the one who is the bloodeater who is in the slaughterhouse, and the one who is next to the woman is the incense eater..."

Yu Fei pinched his chin and said to himself: "Before I came, I flipped through the books, and there were thirty-six ghosts in the book. The two are Su Zhimu, and they are hungry ghosts. There are many of the three

Pocha, a hungry ghost... Thirty-six Morakaya, killing hungry ghosts, is that what you see in front of you?"

Song Luo nodded and replied: "Yes, this is something that many people know in the Yin Spirit Realm, some people turn into ghosts after death, but the ghosts turned into by mortals are different from monks, and the ghosts transformed by monks after death are directly ghost cultivators, and they can absorb ghost qi into the body to practice, but mortals can't, they have no spiritual roots, their qualifications are extremely poor, and after turning into ghosts, they are only the purest and low-level ghosts." ”

At this time, they are like illusory spirits, mortals cannot see or touch, and they are afraid of light, and if they do so for a long time, they will gradually lose their spirituality, become unconscious lonely ghosts wandering around, and then dissipate between heaven and earth. If you want to maintain the state of ghosts, you must cultivate, but the qualifications of the ghosts transformed by mortals are not enough to absorb ghost qi into the body. ”

"Fortunately, there are fifty in this avenue, forty-nine in Tianyan, and there is one in the way of heaven, but there is a glimmer of life. I don't know when it started, but the ghost gradually discovered that inhaling the fireworks of the world can also enter the threshold of cultivation, which can not only strengthen itself, but also serve as a transition to cultivation. ”

Yu Fei pondered: "Maybe it's because they were originally human beings, and they have just turned into ghost cultivators. ”

Songluo replied after a pause: "Perhaps, but there is no authoritative conclusion yet. Moreover, there are many kinds of fireworks in this world, which are complex and difficult to understand, and there are remnants of everything that people have passed and done, such as the fire-eating charcoal-eating ghost, who smells the coal-fired gas and eats it; the lustful ghost wanders among the green buildings, gets close to the lustful people, and eats lewd and filthy things; the teahouse is a food ghost, and the restaurant is a food eater, and these places have the fireworks in the world. ”

"Ghosts don't need qualifications to absorb the fireworks of the world, and when they smoke more, they begin to have mana, because they have changed from a mortal ghost to a ghost cultivator of the first order of qi training, at this time, they can absorb ghost qi into the body according to the cultivation method, and turn into a real ghost cultivator, to seek the way of immortality. ”

Yu Fei lowered his eyebrows and bowed: "This can be regarded as a glimmer of life left by the Heavenly Dao to the ghosts, even if you can't cultivate before you die, you still have the opportunity to find immortality after death." ”

Song Luo sighed: "But there are a few people who can really find immortality, and there are more than 10 billion people in the Ethereal Star, and none of them can touch the way of immortality. ”

Yu Fei smiled: "It's always good to have hope, it's worth working hard." ”

Song Luo nodded, with some envy, Yu Fei is a kind of heavenly and handsome man, he can indeed chase immortality, and he has no hope.

Yu Fei's mind was not on Changsheng now, and he didn't care about the subtle changes in his expression, but continued to wander around Anle Township, observing the ghosts, and finally found the difference again, and asked: "The ghost cultivators who are lying next to people and practicing the second and third orders of qi are sucking people's essence." ”

Song Luo replied: "Yes, when the smoke of the human world turns into a ghost cultivator, he will not be satisfied with continuing to smoke the smoke and fire of the world, because the efficiency is too low, and it is better to concentrate on meditating and inhaling the ghost qi quickly." However, the essence of this living person is different, and the speed of sucking essence qi and cultivating is faster than sucking ghost qi, so there are many ghost cultivators who absorb people's essence qi everywhere to cultivate. ”

Yu Fei thought of what he said in the book, and thought of all kinds of folk things, and said with a smile: "So the concept of this ghost cultivator's innate evil can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because they smoke the fireworks of the world everywhere, and their behavior is strange and uncomfortable. ”

Song Luo nodded and said: "Yes, especially the Rakshasa ghosts and killing ghosts, etc., it is really immoral to suck the fireworks of the world by killing people or helping people commit suicide, and it is normal to be feared and feared by the people." ”

At this time, the official yamen heard the sound of beating again, "Knock-knock!", one slow and four fast, Yu Fei glanced at it and said: "This is the third time to beat like this, and it is already five o'clock in the morning." ”

Just after the sound of the watch fell, those ghosts and ghost cultivators seemed to have received a unified order, and they stopped inhaling the fireworks of the world or the essence of the living, and left reluctantly, and flew into the streets on both sides of the street, hanging in the red banners on the telephone poles, and the ghosts in the countryside also rushed back, and the ghostly lights flashed into the banners and disappeared.

This kind of scene is exactly the same as the living people who start to return home at nine o'clock. After the change, no matter what they were busy with, they immediately stopped and acted according to the agreed instructions.

In less than thirty minutes, there was not a single low-level ghost and ghost cultivator in the entire Anle Township, it was clear that it was still a city of ten thousand ghosts just now, and it was busy, and it was empty in an instant, and it became a dead city again.

Even the very few shops, restaurants and Qinglou that have opened have ended their busyness at this moment and began to close.

Half an hour later, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and Yu Fei felt that there was no one outside in the entire Anle Township except for himself, only death-like silence.

After a while, a ray of morning light pierced the dark and deep night sky, breaking the tranquility of Anle Township.

Facing the sun, a very small number of residences began to open their windows and doors, including the shopkeeper of the inn where Yu Fei lived, but at this time, there were very few people who opened the door to the street, and the street was deserted. It's like a run-down town, and you can't imagine that at night, the town will be crowded.

They leaned on the side of the road in twos and threes to make gags, or talk to the parents, and from time to time a few lively children shouted and ran by, adding a little anger...

This scene, Yu Fei remembers it vividly, and it is exactly the same as when he first arrived in Anle Township yesterday!

Yu Fei evoked a bad smile, deliberately flew back to the official road outside Anle Township, changed the night clothes at night back into a white shirt, still holding a green umbrella, followed by Wanfu, Dean and Songluo The three ghosts, walking slowly, into Anle Township, the location, dress, speed, and expression are exactly the same as yesterday, but the time has changed from yesterday to today.

Along the way, those early risers who were short on talking about their parents rubbed their eyes when they saw Yu Fei, and muttered to the people beside him: "I seem to have seen him yesterday, this scene is very familiar." ”

He also replied later: "We were also chatting here yesterday morning, and I also remember that I seem to have seen this handsome man in white clothes and green umbrellas." ”

Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Hey, the one with the green umbrella."

Guy in white, did you just come here? How do I remember that you were here yesterday?"

Yu Fei was surprised: "Yes? I guess you are mistaken, this is the first time I have been here." ”

After saying that, he walked away with a polite smile.

The two of them were full of suspicion, looked at each other, and completely confused about the situation, and then sighed: "People, there are always some strange fragments flashed, as if this thing has been experienced, but after thinking about it carefully, I can't remember, maybe we just flashed the same fragment." ”

"Yes, yes, I don't want to, it doesn't matter if he's been here or not, this is a peaceful township, and I don't think about it. ”

Yu Fei held the green umbrella and walked into the inn yesterday again, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw it, shook his head, and was about to ask a question but heard Yu Fei say hello: "Shopkeeper, good morning." ”

The shopkeeper smiled with relief: "The guest officer is early, he actually went out so early and came back, he wasn't scared, right?"

Yu Fei said curiously: "Scared? What are you scared of? I saw the morning sun rise, and I went out for a morning exercise, is there anything terrible?"

The shopkeeper sighed, apparently only going out after the ghost returned to the banner, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, the guest officer is an early riser, do you need hot water to wash?" ”

Yu Fei nodded and smiled: "Then there is labor." ”

The shopkeeper also smiled and replied: "The guest officer is a wonderful person, with the bearing of an immortal family and the demeanor of a literati, he is really a young man." ”

Yu Fei smiled and thanked: "The shopkeeper has won the prize", and said that he went to his room.

The shopkeeper's shout came from behind him: "Laifu, don't be confused, you haven't been lucky by the ghost master, use your hands and feet to make a pot of hot water for the guests." ”

Yu Fei returned to his room, glanced at it, the layout was still the same, pushed open the window again, looked out again, fell into contemplation again, it was exactly the same as yesterday, his divine sense swept again, and he also saw the scene exactly the same as yesterday:

On the third pole of the sun, almost everyone in Anle Township is sleeping!

was about to say that he was forced to sleep, and only a few young men in good spirits woke up in a daze.

The corners of Yu Fei's mouth hooked up with a smile, and he muttered: "I finally figured it out, but there are still some doubts that have not been solved, so I can only go to squat." ”

At this time, Xiao Er brought a pot of hot water and said: "Guest officer, put the hot water here for you, just put the kettle on the table after you use it, if you still need it, say hello, and then boil it for you." ”

Yu Fei nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Er, your name is Laifu, right?"

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes, master." ”

Yu Fei looked at the sleeping foolish people all over the city, and said to Xiao Er: "Life is really hard, but don't expect anyone to help you share it, let alone who to bear it for you, there is no love for no reason in this world, there is no pie in the sky, and the free one is the most expensive." ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and replied: "Yes, master, the little one remembers", and then closed the door and retreated.

Yu Fei sighed and said, everyone in the world is drunk and I wake up alone, there is still arrogance to support, the world sings that I am alone and bitter, how can I be comforted?

Anle Township, euthanasia... Yu Fei shook his head, stopped thinking about it, poured some hot water, washed his face, and flew out again.

I found a courtyard house, where there were almost ten families, all of whom were now asleep, and there were pale yellow lanterns hanging in front of their houses.

Yu Fei found a hidden place, the turtle rested, closed his eyes and meditated, quietly waiting for the residents in the courtyard to wake up.

A few hours later, almost noon, the people in the courtyard finally woke up one by one, dressed and washed, and everything was no different from the impermanent.

The woman walked into the kitchen, looked at the vegetables cut on the cutting board and filled with dishes, rejoiced, and began to wash rice and cook rice, and the young grandmother also came into the kitchen to help, and the smoke began to rise.

The young man of the family went to the slaughterhouse and the furniture factory with his father, who was in his fifties, and received his share of wages with a smile, obviously not doing anything.

Both of them are smiling, this is so comfortable to take money for nothing every day, and you can take your family around to have fun at night.

Recommended, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

The other families are roughly similar, the difference is that some families only have a middle-aged salary, and the children are only in their teens, but they are inexplicably not so obedient to the elderly.

When the young man and his father returned, Yu Fei found that the wages he received were inconsistent, and the young man received more, thinking that it was due to his occupation, he observed several other companies, and determined a certain conjecture in his heart, and the wages he received were inversely proportional to his age.

The family sat down and began to enjoy lunch, and the woman first said: "Don't just play, buy enough vegetables for tomorrow, buy a turtle and come back, kill the ghost master, and make you turtle soup tomorrow." ”

The young husband said hello and allocated a part of the money he received for groceries.

The woman said: "This house should be cleaned up and down, the last time I commissioned the ghost master was last month, and I will write this request on the yellow paper later." ”

The young man said hello and said: "The family listens to the music in the evening, and sends the children to practice martial arts in the afternoon, so that the body can be strong, so that the spirit will be more." ”

And the woman rejoiced.

After some discussion, everyone finished their meal and began to write their family's request on a piece of yellow paper.

The yellow paper is made of the same material as the low-level monk's talisman, and there is a faint flow of ghost qi on it, and after writing the request, the young man bowed three times to the telephone pole with a red banner hanging at the door, and muttered: "Today's commission has been written, please help my family realize their wishes." ”

With that, he threw the yellow paper into the pale yellow lantern hanging at the door, and it was burned in an instant, but the commission written on it turned into a wisp of ghost energy and disappeared into the red banner.
