[051] will end in nothing
Faced with my question, Huo Xiaoyu pondered slightly, and then continued to speak.
After the death of Guo's mother and son, the villagers scattered their ashes in a mountain stream, and the whole village has not mentioned the incident since.
In the middle of the mountains, two people died. The villagers were secretive about this matter, and people from the outside world didn't know about it at all, so naturally no one would ask about it.
Originally, everyone thought that this was the end of the matter. But about half a month after Guo Taozi's mother and son died, a mountain ape suddenly popped into the village.
The mountain ape seemed to know that Guo Taozi had been killed by the villagers. It went crazy and generally attacked the people in the village.
However, it is only a mountain ape, under the combined efforts of the villagers. The mountain ape was outnumbered and killed. The villagers also threw the carcass of the mountain ape into the mountain stream.
Although the mountain ape is dead, the powerful resentment force has mutated it. Its corpse turned into a corpse, and its soul turned into a ghost.
Then, the corpses and the ghosts all returned.
Especially in the ghost, it refines the corpse insects that breed on the corpse body one by one. It becomes an evil thing that can suck people's lives.
These insects are not only able to suck life qi, but can also split and regenerate after absorbing enough life qi. Thus it becomes contagious. Relying on these bugs, the ghost killed the entire village.
And after killing the people of the village, the ghosts also enslaved their spirits. They are not allowed to be reincarnated. He also let the corpses eat their corpses, so that they would die without a place to bury.
Huo Xiaoyu saw all this from beginning to end. As a bystander, she did not rescue Guo Taozi's mother and son when the villagers killed them. Then when the corpses and ghosts plagued the villagers, she did not stop them.
In her words, she has seen too many such things for more than a thousand years. She can't manage it, she can't manage it well, and she doesn't want to manage it.
I don't know if it's right or wrong for her inaction.
If I were her, I wouldn't know what to do.
She is just a ghost wandering everywhere, and if she wants to save Guo Taozi's mother and son, she has to attack the villagers. Then she had a karma with it. No one can predict what kind of ending will be triggered later. Maybe it's a good ending, maybe it will make things worse.
But that's not the point now.
Now the focus is on how we deal with this.
After getting all the details out of the matter, I'm at a loss right now.
Say the villagers deserve to die? But after all, it was more than 100 lives, and it affected many people.
Saying they don't deserve to die, they've done those heinous acts before.
Ay......
Maybe I can only use the sentence that Huo Xiaoyu said to summarize this matter. That is, what kind of cause you have sown, what kind of effect you will get.
Confucianism is about self-improvement.
Buddhism talks about self-righteousness.
Taoism speaks of nature.
Although Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have their own pursuits, there is one thing that everyone has in common, that is, "goodness".
Plant the causes. There will be good results.
Although no one sees the accumulation of virtue, God knows how to do good.
If you want to be blessed and avoid evil, you need to change your way before you do good.
Do more good deeds, blessings will come naturally, and disasters will be far away.
"So what do we do now?" Xiao Qiu asked.
I turned my head to look at Zhong Linlin.
Zhong Linlin sighed, and then didn't say anything.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, I stood up: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter. We must destroy these corpses and ghosts! As for the souls of the villagers who were enslaved by the ghosts, just send them away! When they arrive at the Netherworld, they will naturally receive corresponding rewards and punishments. ”
That's the only thing I can think of right now.
Hear me. Zhong Linlin nodded: "I have already notified Huiling that bald donkey to come over to help, we will now deal with this corpse and that ghost first." Just leave the rest to Master Huiling. This kind of thing is what their Buddhism is good at. ”
"Okay! Do it! Xiao Qiu, they also agreed.
Hearing our conversation, Huo Xiaoyu on the side looked like he had nothing to do with himself. This made me feel a lot more relieved. As long as she doesn't interfere, we should have no problem dealing with that ghost.
"That's good! Let's get ready, and then we'll go and clean up that ghost! I said.
After all that is said. I looked at Huo Xiaoyu, and she still looked like she had nothing to do with me.
Ye Tie nodded in response, and then asked Huo Xiaoyu, "That's right!" Where is that ghost now? Still in that cave? ”
When Huo Xiaoyu heard this, he looked at Ye Tie with a smile and said, "Do you think I will tell you?" It's your business, you can do whatever you want? It's not about me! ”
"Oops! How can it not be related to you? You and the one who wants to be my soul companion. My business is your business! I'm going to kill that goblin now! You'll have to help me! Ye Tie said.
"Stop! I haven't promised you yet? What's wrong? Are you trying to force me? Huo Xiaoyu asked Ye Tie.
"How so? How could I force you? Okay, if you don't help, don't help! It's just a ghost, and a few of us can clean it up! Ye Tie raised his hand.
"Really? Oh, I hope you can do it! Huo Xiaoyu seemed to laugh again.
Hearing her words, I couldn't help frowning.
I'll go. Is there something else going on? Could it be that there is something else so powerful about that ghost that a few of us can't handle?
Zhong Linlin should have also heard the clue, and she asked Huo Xiaoyu, "Could it be that there is still a powerful helper by that ghost's side?" ”
Huo Xiaoyu heard this. With a slight leap of his body, he sat directly on Ye Tie's shoulder: "Don't ask me, I won't say anything." You can do whatever you want. I'm not going to get in your way, and I'm not going to help you. ”
After she finished speaking, she reached out and combed a few strands of messy hair floating on her forehead and said, "I haven't seen the excitement for a long time, and I'd love to see how you end this matter." ”
Hearing her words, my heart murmured even more.
"I didn't ...... Not...... It's okay, wait until I figure it out! See what happens in our actions! Huang Xiaoyi stood up and walked to the table.
It's okay, she can do the math.
I saw that she took out the turtle shell and copper coin, and began to calculate.
After some calculations, her brow furrowed tightly.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.
"Root...... According to the hexagram, our action to destroy the ghost will be fruitless. This...... What's going on? Huang Xiaoyi looked dazed.
Fruitless?
What do you mean?
Can't the five of us work together to get rid of that ghost?
"What do you mean to end up without results? If you can kill, you can kill, and if you can't kill, you can't kill. What happens when nothing happens? Zhong Linlin asked.
"I ...... I don't know, according to the hexagram, we were disturbed by some kind of factor in the process of killing that ghost. Let's give up on the action against the ghosts. Huang Xiaoyi said.
Abandon?
That's not right!
There's no reason why we'd give up!
You know, this ghost has now become a scourge, if you don't get rid of it. Maybe it's going to make a big fuss.
But what are the factors that can make us give up?
"Don't ...... Don't look at me, with my current abilities, I can only extrapolate this far. I can't deduce the details. Huang Xiaoyi saw that we were all looking at her, she waved her hand and said.
I believe in her calculations, but I really can't figure out what kind of interference will make us give up.
"Why do you care so much? It's useless to think about it now. Let's talk about it, if there is any interference, we can do what we want. Didn't she say we'd give up? Then when it's time to give up, we'll give up. If there is no reason to convince us, why should we give up! Zhong Linlin said.
That's right, it's useless to think about anything now, no matter what happens, wait until you encounter it.
"So what now? Will we use this corpse to lure the ghost here, or will we take the initiative to find the door? Xiao Qiu asked.
When Zhong Linlin heard this, she groaned slightly and said, "Go to the door, don't keep this corpse, dispose of it immediately!" Save what happens at the time, let us be restrained. After that, let's go straight to the cave, where the enslaved souls are, and the ghost should be there! ”
