Chapter 252: Demon
"Then Uncle He will ask you to help me do something this time, and ask that little fat man if he wants to learn Maoshan Taoism, is this matter very difficult" Uncle He asked me with a frown
"Uncle He, what if he doesn't want to learn?" I also frowned and asked Uncle He.
"You can use Taoism to lure him, such as using a charm to ignite the fire, this is the simplest and most pretending skill to impress that little fat man" Uncle He proposed to me, I was also drunk after listening to Uncle He's words, he actually said that Taoism is a skill to pretend to be forced, if the ancestor heard Uncle He say this alive, it is estimated that he will be able to cut him to death.
"Okay, then I'll try, I can only say that I try my best, if he just doesn't want to learn, don't blame me then" I said to Uncle He helplessly, and finally I jumped into Uncle He's pit, I really regret coming to him today.
"Uncle He, thank you in advance, I really didn't hurt you in vain," Uncle He said to me with a smile on his face.
"Uncle He, I'll give this back to you" I took out the copper gourd that Uncle He had given me before and handed it to Uncle He.
"I didn't want to come back when I gave it to you, this copper gourd will be given to you" Uncle He generously handed me the copper gourd and pushed it back to me, in fact, Uncle He's copper gourd I like it a lot, I played with it in the bedroom last night.
"Senior nephew, don't underestimate this copper gourd, this copper gourd can not only collect souls, but also collect demons," Uncle He pointed to the copper gourd in my hand and said to me.
"Uncle He, are there still demons in this world?" I asked Uncle He with a puzzled expression.
"Of course there is, didn't your master tell you?" Uncle He asked rhetorically.
"No, Master, he never takes the initiative to tell me these things, Uncle He, tell me about it," I asked Uncle He curiously.
"If we were to distinguish this world by highly intelligent species, they would be humans, ghosts, and demons. In the eyes of ordinary people, they can only see people, only a few strange people can see the existence of ghosts, as for the demon is a very mysterious existence, even if ordinary people see a demon, they may not know that this is a demon. The most famous demon in ancient China is Su Daji, Su Daji is transformed by the nine-tailed fox, when the king was obsessed with Su Daji's beauty, absurd government affairs, obeyed her words, to the point of "Daji's reputation, Daji's hatred", after Su Daji entered the palace, killed the virtuous Queen Jiang, instigated the king to make cannons, basins and other tortures, and made the people and money hurt the deer platform, wine ponds, meat forests, so that the monarch and the ministers were separated from morality, The people's resentment boiled, and the foreign countries did not go to court, which caused the Shang Dynasty to perish, and was finally killed by the Zhou Dynasty army. People who transform into foxes have the ability to charm people, so people often scold those little ones as fox spirits. There are many kinds of animal essences, fox spirits, snake spirits, rabbit essences, etc., and the most famous plant essences are peach tree essences, locust tree essences, pipa essences and so on. Demons are as good and bad as people, some demons devote themselves to cultivation and don't care about the world and want to become immortals, and some demons cultivate their own demons by sucking people's yang qi as food, the latter is a bad demon, and our Taoist family will destroy such demons when they find it," Uncle He explained to me.
"I only know that ghosts suck people's yang energy, but I didn't expect demons to also suck people's yang energy" As soon as I mentioned this, I broke out in a cold sweat, I remember that it was Xia Wanting who first absorbed my yang energy, and then the gray-clothed ghost Lu Fang did everything possible to absorb my yang energy, and then the female ghost Su Xiaoman I let go also wanted to suck my yang energy, I don't understand what is good about my yang energy, they all have to suck it.
"The demon will not only absorb people's yang energy, but also collect the essence and blood of people, when the essence and blood on people are collected and empty, they will be completely exhausted and killed" Uncle He said very terrifyingly, I listened to it and shivered.
"Uncle He, where do you say goblins usually live?" I asked Uncle He again.
"I can't say for sure, they generally live on mountains with aura, our Oolong Mountain in DD City, Phoenix Mountain in FC City are all Lingshan treasures, and there are many demons in these two mountains. Now the demons are not all living in the mountains, many of them will take human form and live with us humans in this noisy city and live our ordinary human life, maybe one of your friends, the person who meets you face to face may be a demon, this is all indefinite, the demon is a special existence" Uncle He introduced me in detail.
"This world is really wonderful, I thought the demon was made up by the common people, but I didn't expect it to be real," I said with a sigh.
"Everything that myths can be handed down to the present, very few are fictional, and some things cannot be proven by science, so we would rather believe that there is something or not" I agree with what Uncle He said, after all, I have personally experienced a lot of such things, although there is science to prove the existence of a soul in the human body, but there is a lack of relevant evidence to prove the existence of a soul in the human body.
"Uncle He, how can I tell if the person next to me is a demon or not" I asked Uncle He with a serious face.
"One, every month on the night of the full moon, the demon will turn into its original form and absorb the essence of the moon. The second is that it can be distinguished according to the unique body odor on the demon's body, and the demon's body has a trace of demonic energy, and people like you can't smell it at all. Although a profound demon will hide the demonic energy on his body, a Taoist master like your master can easily distinguish it. I don't think the demons and ghosts in this world are terrible, the most terrifying thing is people," Uncle He patiently explained to me.
"Uncle He, have you ever met a demon?" I asked, curious.
"Of course I have met, ten years ago I caught a rabbit essence, and then it was not easy to practice it, so I let it go" Uncle He nodded and said to me, at this time I was a little curious about demons.
At noon, I bought three servings, one for Uncle He, and the other two for me to eat with Master.
"I see that the Taoist true qi in your body hasn't increased much, have you kid been lazy again recently?" Master glared at me after eating, and said angrily.
"Master, it's not that I'm lazy, since I was rescued by you, I feel that my body is very weak, I go to bed early every night, and I don't have time to read the Tao Te Ching" I whispered to Master.
"Let me ask you seriously, do you have any thoughts about eating this kind of food in the future?" the master asked me with a serious face, looking at me.
"The word "future" is a bit too vague, I can't say for sure," I replied to Master, in fact, I really want to eat Master's bowl of rice, although it is dangerous, but the most important thing is to make money.
"In the past, it was the master who took our brothers and sisters to do this business, after the master left, I picked up the burden and continued to do this business, how hard this line is, how difficult, how dangerous I know very well, so I don't want you to do this business, the reason why I accept you as an apprentice also has my selfish thoughts, is that I hope you can continue our Maoshan incense, not let our incense in my hands, if that is the case, I can't face your ancestor below" Master said to me in a deep voice, Master's concept is a little old, I also understand all this, my grandmother's greatest hope when she was alive was to see me get married and have a son, although she was a woman, but she just hoped that I could give birth to a big fat boy to take over our family's household registration book.
"Master, I don't know if I will eat this bowl of rice in the future, but I promise you that I will not give away our perfume in my hands," I promised Master with a cautious face.
"Okay, I remember your words" Master laughed, Master's smile this time was a heartfelt smile, watching Master's temples turn white, I felt that Master was much older in an instant, and I also knew in my heart that Master was worried about what happened last time.
"You kid is fine, call your little aunt more to communicate your feelings, she always praises you in front of me when she is fine, saying that you are sensible and polite. You can't be ungrateful, if it weren't for your little aunt, the two of us wouldn't have been able to save your ghost daughter-in-law from the hands of the Nanshan Nanghost King. If it weren't for your little aunt rubbing your body with alcohol to make your blood circulate, I wouldn't have been able to pull you back from before the ghost gate was closed, you have to know what it means to know what it means to be grateful for your kindness" Master taught me very seriously.
