175 Why live forever? All I want is death
The war is over!
In the desperate situation of certain death, the little Taoist priest made a stroke of God and turned the tide of the battle alive, and actually survived in death, turning defeat into victory!
However, it was also a pyrrhic victory!
No one was not injured, and the other four Taoist priests of the Nine Night Palace all died in a short period of time.
Standing in front of the corpses of the four junior brothers, Taiyizi came from his heart and burst into tears. Mamoko's always old-fashioned face also rolled down a few tiger tears.
The little Taoist priest sighed: "Senior brother, we really don't have time to grieve, before dawn, we must destroy all these ghost soldiers." Otherwise, as soon as the yang energy rises, the ghost soldiers will hide. If you want to eliminate them, I'm afraid it will take ten or eight years. The cultivation of these ghost soldiers is not bad, if they come to cause trouble to the villagers, it will be another catastrophe! ”
Looking at the nearly 100 ghost soldiers who stood still around them, like puppets, the faces of the three of them were even more bitter.
Hey, if the conditions allow, run a super dojo, but in two or three hours, you can clean all the ghost soldiers excessively, how worry-free and trouble-free? At this time, there is no other way but to kill them one by one.
It is also ridiculous to say that the general spent countless efforts to train these godless and ignorant demons into elite soldiers. He thought that with these more than 100 ghost soldiers, he could dominate the world. But it didn't come to pass, but just two horns, he put his decades of hard work into one fell swoop!
These ghost soldiers are not shallow in cultivation, if they are still stragglers, as soon as they smell the breath of the living, they will definitely surround them, and after the three little Taoist priests fight hard, they will definitely not be their opponents. But at this time, it is very easy to deal with. When the copper coin sword hits the body, it will move twice. Otherwise, even if the companion is scattered in front of him, he will still be stunned.
The little Taoist priest couldn't help but thank the general: This soldier is really well trained!
Before the rooster crowed, all the ghost soldiers finally turned into black smoke.
The three little Taoist priests were so tired that they lay on the ground like mud, and they didn't even want to move a finger.
Xu Ruoxue felt sorry for her husband, held the little Taoist priest in her arms, kneaded it on his shoulder, and saw that Tai Yizi was so envious.
After regaining some strength, the little Taoist priest walked up to Li Yong and the Xu family girl and asked, "I don't know what the two of you have planned?" ”
The two ghosts shook their heads blankly.
For decades, they had been enslaved by the generals. After getting out of the general's control this time, he was completely at a loss. is also like a ghost soldier, standing still, not moving, and not fleeing.
The little Taoist priest sighed: "It's almost dawn." I have a treasure called a ghost bead, which can nourish the soul very much. The two of you will go inside and rest, and we will discuss it again until tomorrow evening. ”
Li Yong and Xu's daughter nodded, turned into two wisps of black smoke, and drilled into the ghost bead.
It's dawn.
The four of them returned to the old Taoist temple, and after resting for a day, they led people to bury the four unfortunate Taoist priests, and then did a transcendent ritual.
In the evening, the little Taoist priest summoned Li Yong and Xu's daughter out.
When asked what her plans were, the Xu family still shook her head blankly. Li Yong said: "Immortal Chief, there is something to ask for, please take a certain person to Xixian County to see the descendants of a certain person." ”
If it weren't for Li Yong this time, the little Taoist priest and the others would definitely die. Just a trivial matter, he naturally agreed.
West County, Li House.
After listening to the little Taoist priest's words, Li Zhilu nodded helplessly, then took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Thank you Immortal Elder for bothering!" This money is the incense money given by a certain respect to the immortal chief, and if you do anything else, you don't dare to trouble the immortal chief. ”
His words were polite, but this style was clearly calling Hanako.
The little Taoist priest smiled dumbly: "Brother Li wait for a while, it will be dark in half an hour, and then the poor Daoist will ask the old lady to show up, and Brother Li will naturally believe it." ”
Li Zhilu frowned, apologized, put the little Taoist priest aside, and went to work himself.
After a full hour, the little Taoist priest repeatedly called his subordinates to invite him, and Li Zhilu came over too reluctantly, and his face was already very unsightly.
Hey, it's been a long time since I've been so left out. The little Taoist priest sighed, and for the sake of Li Yong's affection, he asked Li Zhulu to move into the court and take out the ghost beads.
Li Zhilu was shocked when he saw it, this was actually a superb Hetian jade, with a milky white texture, and it could emit a brilliant white light in the moonlight. He loved jade, and at first sight he knew that this jade was priceless, and that his usual treasures were nothing more than stones.
At that moment, Li Zhilu's expression was very respectful. When you look at the little Taoist, you no longer look at the eyes of the "little liar".
After Li Yong came out, he looked at Li Yulu and sighed: "Hey, it's not very similar to so-and-so." ”
The little Taoist smiled shyly: "Brother Li, you can't hear what the old lady Ling said." Poor Dao relayed it, but he didn't mean to take advantage of you. ”
After speaking, he cleared his throat and asked, "Is my son Li San'er still there?" ”
Li San'er? Li Zhilu thought about it carefully and was shocked: "How do you know the nickname of my grandfather's father." ”
"Hmph, how could I not know? Your grandfather has had smart ears since he was a child, and he laughed at him for having three ears, so he gave him this nickname. ”
Li Zhilu hurriedly bowed his head respectfully and replied: "The ancestor passed away twenty-eight years ago, yes, he died of a stroke. Huang Zuyu passed away thirty-three years ago. ”
Li Yong was silent for a moment and asked: "There are three sons and two daughters under a certain knee, after that catastrophe, who else escaped with their lives?" ”
Li Zhilu replied: "After the war was martyred, my grandfather inquired many times, and the Li family in Wuhou Town only survived him and his grandmother. ”
Li Yong stood for a long time and sighed: "I slept for more than 30 years, and after waking up one night, I was enslaved for more than 30 years. It was like a never-ending dream, and after waking up from the dream, the world was already a matter of personnel changes. ”
He asked again: "That night, I gave your grandfather twenty gold ingots, and asked him that if he could escape this difficulty, he would get half of these gold ingots, and divide the rest equally among the surviving brothers and sisters." At that time, my second son gave birth early, and my eldest grandson Li Baoer happened to go to Xingyuan Mansion with his mother. Did your father give Li Bao'er a share of those gold ingots? ”
As soon as he asked this, Li Zhilu was stunned, and after his whole body trembled a few times, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and cried: "Old man! Ancestors, you are still alive in this world! ”
The little Taoist priest hurriedly said: "Decades ago, outside the Hidden Dragon Valley, Master Ling was already dead. It's just a coincidence, he has never been reincarnated, and after being discovered by the poor road, he brought him here to meet his blood relatives, but he wished. ”
Li Zhilu cried a lot, and after his grief was relieved for a while, he replied: "The unfilial great-grandson Li Jingzong replied to the old man, my grandfather had looked for that uncle, but the uncle died of illness a month ago. ”
Li Yong cried bitterly: "My Li family in Wuhou Town is also a big family, and it was flourishing back then, with the main line and branches, and there were hundreds of people. I never thought that after a military rebellion, there were only these few people left. In troubled times, life is as cheap as a dog, as cheap as a dog! ”
After a night of disturbance, it was almost dawn.
When everyone in the Li family respectfully retreated, the little Taoist priest asked: "Li Yong, although you have been stranded in the Yang World for decades, you can't help yourself, and you haven't done anything bad. Now you have two choices, one is to be reincarnated, and the other is to stay by the side of your loved ones, which one do you choose? ”
Li Yong was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I have been hesitating for the past few days, and I also think that although I have suffered for decades, I have finally recovered my senses, and compared with ordinary people, it is just a different body. It's hard to get rid of life and death, so it's better to stay in this yang world and accompany your relatives. ”
"But after seeing my relatives today, I realized that what's the use of staying in the yang world? The children are gone, and no one in this world knows about them, let alone knows them. Although the great-grandson and great-grandson have his own blood in his body, he is just a stranger. Staying in this world is just lonely, desolate. ”
"The so-called people and ghosts have different paths, and these relatives are afraid that they are not willing to stay by their side. There is an ancestor who has been dead for many years and has turned into a ghost. I can't see his form, I can't hear his voice, but I know that he exists. It may be there when eating, it may be when it is bathing, it may be there when sleeping, and after such a long time, hehe, they are afraid that they will go crazy. ”
"In that case, what is a certain person doing in this yang world? The mind is clear, can see everything in this world, but clearly cannot participate in everything in this world, but is just an outsider. It's better to wander around in this way, without knowledge and eternal life, soberly suffering like this, day after day, endlessly, afraid that in the end, a certain person will not be able to stand it, and will turn into an evil ghost, which will bring disaster to the world! ”
"Immortal Chief, a certain intention has been decided! Please tomorrow, the immortal chief is a certain excess, so that a certain person can be a new person as soon as possible! ”
On the second day, the little Taoist priest told Li Yong's family about Li Yong's decision. The Li family naturally cried. At that moment, the little Taoist priest personally cast spells and held a dojo, which surpassed Li Yong.
After the ceremony, Li Zhilu respectfully presented ten gold ingots. The Li family is just a little rich, and this is probably more than half of the belongings. The little Taoist priest naturally refused. Thinking of his neglect of the little Taoist, Li Zhilu was ashamed.
After returning to the inn, the little Taoist priest ordered a pot of tea and tasted it alone.
Li Yong's decision was really unexpected.
In history, I don't know how many emperors and generals did everything to seek immortality. In this world, I don't know how many Taoist priests are far away from the red dust, dedicated to penance, and only seek immortality.
What is immortality? In the final analysis, it is nothing more than letting your consciousness stay in heaven and earth for a long time.
And Li Yong has already done it, but he has given up!
Cultivation is a birth and an accession. The little Taoist priest used to envy those Taoist priests who were born, and their hearts were barrier-free and they did not love Hongchen. At the top of Mount Tai to see the wind and clouds, on the coast of the East China Sea to see the clear water and sky. In this way, you can observe the will of heaven, realize the mystery in silence, and finally seek the avenue and obtain eternal life!
Cultivating like that, how free and easy, how free!
But after this incident, the little Taoist priest felt that it was actually not good to cultivate the Tao like that, and it was not good.
To live in the world is to experience the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world. Joy is an experience of life, and isn't grief also an experience of life? The joys, sorrows, and sorrows are gone, what does that person do in the world? Why?
If you cultivate like that, you can see everything in the world, but you don't participate in everything in the world, you are just an outsider in the world! It seems that you have left the world, but in fact, it is the world that has abandoned you.
Realizing this, the little Taoist priest clarified the direction of his cultivation, and his Dao heart became a little stronger.
He was in a happy mood, smiling with a glass and smiling.
Xu Ruoxue just came in: "Husband, what are you laughing at?" How do you smile so well? ”
The little Taoist priest got up with a smile and gently hugged Xu Ruoxue in his arms: "Ruoxue, in this life, it's good to have you!" ”
