"Looking for something? Looking for something? After Pu Zitong spoke, Zhang asked puzzled.

"You don't care about this, you will naturally know when you go there, just follow me, according to my memory of that period of clan history, it should be in this direction." Pu Zitong smiled strangely, and did not tell Zhang Su what she was looking for, but continued to walk in one direction, deeper and deeper into the dense forest of sycamores.

Pu Zitong walked for more than ten minutes with Zhang Su, walked through the rows of dense forests, and finally came to an ancient stone platform that was almost located in the center of the dense forest, looking at the half-human tall and dilapidated stone platform, and seeing that it was covered by thick moss, Pu Zitong stopped and stopped, gently probed it with his hand, brushed a few bluestones that had been polished and smooth by the years, and showed a melancholy appearance in a blink of an eye.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Su saw that Pu Zitong's expression was wrong, but he didn't understand why, so he asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, it's not far from the entrance of the ghost tomb, if I'm not mistaken, this stone platform made of broken stone is actually a tomb, and the ancestors of my family who died after fighting with a thousand ghosts are buried in it, seeing it, I seem to recall those tragic records in the family history, and I can't help but feel a little sad." Pu Zitong shook his head and explained.

"A hero who died fighting for the peace of the world? Then I should also pay tribute to them for the peace of the world today. After Pu Zitong explained, Zhang Su looked at the stone pile in front of him and said suddenly, then walked to the stone pile and bowed deeply to the stone pile, expressing his reverence for those ancestors who had the courage to fight against evil spirits and ghosts.

"Heroes? It seems that this word is generally not used in the soul master realm, because most soul masters actually do soul hunting for a fee, it can also be said to collect money from people and eliminate disasters for people, it is originally a bet on life, even if the soul hunting dies, it is just a very ordinary thing, there is no hero who is not a hero, and the word hero is actually not suitable for the field of soul master. Although Pu Zitong was nostalgic for the death of his ancestors, he still shook his head, and it seemed that he did not regard his ancestors as heroes, but only as family members who died in vain.

"The soul master who collects money from people is naturally not a hero, just like a mercenary, he is a business of exchanging his life for money, and when he dies, he can only say that his ability is not enough to eat that bowl of rice, but your ancestors came here to suppress ghosts, wasn't it because they were afraid that ghosts and ghosts would bring disaster to the world, so they made a gratuitous act? It's a public welfare, and since he died because of doing public welfare, he can naturally be called a hero, and it should be okay for me to call him a 'hero'. Zhang Su pondered for a moment and said simply.

"It's not a public welfare, there has been a rule in the soul realm since ancient times, that is, soul exorcists never hunt souls for free, one is to avoid vicious competition between soul exorcists or various soul clan forces, and the other is to avoid a large number of soul hunting behaviors among soul exorcists, causing some powerful ghosts and soul exorcists to die and break the net, so several ancestors of my family came here not to do public welfare, but were pleaded for help by a Mr. Yin and Yang here, so they came here for a fee, although it was only a symbolic less,

But since they have accepted it, they can no longer be called heroes, and if you call them 'heroes', they will deserve it." Pu Zitong shook his head and explained.

"Is there a charge too? However, if you suppress a thousand ghosts, according to the current price of each ghost, even if you collect a small amount, it must be worth a lot of money, right? How could a place so poor that it almost perished because of the plague come up with so much money? How much money did these thousand ghosts in your ancestral town receive? After Pu Zitong explained, Zhang Su frowned, briefly recalled the price of the soul hunting company's bounty for the ghost, and asked with a wry smile.

"One article." Hearing Zhang Su's question, Pu Zitong gently pulled out a long flat stone in the middle of the stone pile, and after making sure that the stone pile was safe, he handed the end of the moss-covered flat stone to Zhang Su.

Zhang Su looked at the flat stone, only to see that there was a tiny gap in the middle of the flat stone, and in the gap, there was a faint flash of copper-yellow metallic dark light, Zhang Su opened the soul eye through the stone layer and looked carefully towards the dark light, it was an ancient copper coin embedded in it, almost fused with the stone.

"This is the soul hunting fee charged by your ancestors?" Zhang Su squinted at the penny inside the flat stone and asked in surprise.

"Well, in the early years of the soul master realm, he advocated benevolence and righteousness, but he was not a hero, in this poor and remote country back then, this article was just a symbolic fee charged by my ancestors, just to avoid those praises similar to 'heroes', with the cost of this article, the ancestors of my family were just soul master merchants who charged for soul hunting, and they no longer used to bear the name of heroes, which are recorded in our family's family history." Pu Zitong nodded and confirmed.

"Why? Isn't it good to be called a hero by everyone? Isn't it good to be worshipped and admired? Now how many people have racked their brains for fame, even if it is stigma and notoriety, they are willing to accept it, why could the ancestors of your family use the name of heroes back then, but deliberately avoided it? Zhang Su frowned, obviously a little incomprehensible.

"Because soul exorcists and ordinary people can never be regarded as the same kind of people, once the soul master or soul master family is famous in the present world, it is easy to expose something, the most famous Nanguo family was almost wiped out because it was too famous, and my ancestors were able to lead the whole family to develop to such a strong point today, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, probably this is what it means." Pu Zitong thought about it and responded to Zhang Su.

"Is the tree a big deal? Isn't your Pu family also the so-called 'First Soul Clan' in the Soul Master Realm now? Nothing, huh? That doesn't seem entirely accurate, does it? Zhang Su seems to feel that Pu Zitong's explanation is not telling, but only a possibility speculation.

"Well, the fear of the tree is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is to abandon the theory of heroes, in the words of my ancestors, that is, I hope that the world will not advertise the so-called 'heroes', or to create a god, everyone should be their own hero, everyone should be their own god, no matter what people encounter

Tribulation, as long as you still have a strong self-consciousness, then you will not be taken advantage of by ghosts, even if there are more ghosts, there is nothing to be done about the determined people, and after creating a hero or a god, it will make the people who believe in it more dependent, and their self-consciousness is weaker, and it is easier to be invaded by ghosts. Pu Zitong knew that the first reason was obviously not enough, and then borrowed the words of her ancestor to clarify the more critical reason.

"Are you afraid that people will weaken their minds because of their dependence on the strong? Well, this is a relatively new statement, I've heard it for the first time, but this statement does seem to have some truth, when a person has no master of the six gods and seeks dependence, his spiritual consciousness is indeed extremely weak, and it is easy to be invaded and used by ghosts, this point, it happened in Zhiru's body, if I hadn't intervened in time, awakened her spiritual consciousness, and drove her mother's ghost away from her soul consciousness, she might have died with only a shell left, It seems that a strong self-will is indeed the best means to fight against ghosts. After Pu Zitong clarified, Zhang Su nodded suddenly, recalled the incident when he saved Qu Zhiru, and also agreed with Pu Zitong's statement very much, and responded.

"Well, this is the reason why my ancestors don't want to be worshiped as 'heroes' and 'saviors' by the suffering people, once my ancestors enter the altar and the altar, the suffering people will become dependent on them because of their spiritual needs, dependence means that the spirit is weak again, which gives the spirits and ghosts a chance to take advantage of, and my ancestors don't have the time and energy to guard near this wind edge slope all the time, so we can't let the people here have problems with their will, even if they don't want that." In the name of the hero, it is also necessary to symbolically collect this money to change the nature of his behavior, from helping to trading. Pu Zitong also nodded and continued to explain.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Hearing Pu Zitong's explanation, Zhang Su pondered for a moment, and then asked him.

"This is just one of them, the thing I want to find the most should be recorded in the depths of the ghost tomb, where we are now is only near the entrance of the ghost tomb, and if we have to walk some distance further, we should be able to see the entrance of the ghost tomb, and I will enter the ghost tomb to have a look." After Zhang Su asked, Pu Zitong saw that his eyes fell in the direction behind the stone platform, and said thoughtfully.

"Is the ghost tomb you are talking about the kind of cemetery used to bury people? This is the forest of sycamore scenic spots, if there is a burial cemetery in the scenic area, isn't it too bad scenery, I think tourists don't dare to come to play, right? As soon as he entered the Wutong forest, Zhang Su heard Pu Zitong mention the ghost tomb, what the specific ghost tomb was, but Pu Zitong did not tell him mysteriously, he looked around in the dense forest, and did not find any traces of tombs, tombs, etc., which was really a little puzzled.

"Let's talk while walking...... ghost tomb as the name suggests, the ghost tomb is the tomb of the ghost, in fact, this piece of sycamore dense forest can be regarded as a ghost tomb, but if you want to be accurate, only the area where the ghost is sealed

It can be called a real ghost tomb, of course, although the ghost tomb is also called a 'tomb', but it is not the same as the tomb of the real burial person, you will know it when you go there, in fact, it is the first time I have come to this ghost tomb set up by my ancestors, and I also want to see the style of the ghost tomb, not only in the family history. Pu Zitong knew that Zhang was puzzled, smiled slightly, and after bowing respectfully to the stone platform, he quickly bypassed the stone platform, and explained to Zhang Su while walking towards the back of the stone platform, but it was still cloudy and mysterious.
