Chapter 561: Grievances
When I heard the little old man mention the underworld, I couldn't help but ask, "Since you are worried that you will be settled after you go to the underworld." Why do you want to do that? ”
The little old man said: "At the beginning, we felt that we were doing chivalrous deeds, thinking that even if we went to the underworld, we could offset the merits. Later, we figured out that those who were killed by us did not deserve death at all, and those who were maimed by us did not sin to be disabled, and we still made mistakes after all. ”
"After thinking about this, we wanted to stop, but it was a little too late to stop at this time. We don't want to go to the underworld, so we can only maintain the anger in our bodies. Fortunately, it is floating in the world. ”
"So there's a vicious circle. The heavier the anger in us, the more we fear Hades. The more you fear the underworld, the more you have to maintain the anger in your body. What's more, there are some Taoist priests who pretend to be righteous and constantly make trouble for our eight brothers and sisters. ”
When the little old man said this, he pointed at Mr. Lu: "Senior brother Daochang Lu seems to be this kind of person. ”
Mr. Lu laughed twice and said nothing.
The little old man sighed and said, "In order to protect ourselves, we can only make ourselves stronger. Afterward. We do chivalrous deeds, and somehow they reach our ears. At that time, there was no owner in Liucheng, so they invited my eight brothers to join. ”
"We thought at the time, there are so many people that ordinary Taoist priests don't dare to provoke for no reason. As long as we have a place to live, we can slowly recuperate, do more good deeds, eliminate anger, and then reincarnate, which is also a way out. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder, "That's what I said." It's good for you. Why don't you have any affection for it? ”
The little old man laughed twice and said, "After we joined, we found out that they did not value our chivalrous virtue, but the ability of our eight brothers. In their eyes, we eight brothers are rare thugs and minions. That's why they want us to do things for them. Although it is more self-disciplined than ordinary ghosts, it is composed of ghosts after all, and it is not a temple dojo that specializes in teaching people to be good, so there is no fixed law for acting in a good way, sometimes good and sometimes evil. ”
I nodded and praised, "I agree with this assessment." ”
The little old man smiled at me and said, "You think, it's easy for us to find an enemy to settle down in, and we want to accumulate virtue and do good. Where are you willing to do these things again? So we have always refused to obey the command. As for Liucheng, since they handed it over to us to take our brothers and sisters, they didn't take it back, but they didn't associate with us anymore, and they planned to leave us to fend for ourselves. ”
Mr. Lu suddenly asked, "My senior brother is jealous and hateful. But my master is generous. If you really accumulate virtue and do good deeds and change your ways, he will not come to you. What's more, I have to unite with other Taoist priests to fight with you. I'm curious, what happened back then? ”
The little old man said, "Yes." We were already out of it. But after all, he still couldn't hold back and shot once. Maybe in the dark, there is a providence, and God is waiting for us to make a move this time, and then punish us. ”
Mr. Lu asked reluctantly: "What did you do to provoke my master?" ”
The mustache suddenly smiled and said, "Daochang Lu, although you are your master's apprentice, you don't know as much information as we do. It seems that your master doesn't trust you very much. ”
The mustache was obviously sowing discord, but Mr. Lu was not fooled: "When I was young, my master didn't tell me to protect me and prevent me from getting involved in these things." I know that very well. If you really think that my master can't trust me, then naturally I won't be able to return it on his behalf, and you won't come to me. ”
The little old man smiled and said, "My second brother said a joke, and the Taoist chief doesn't have to care. ”
Immediately afterwards, the little old man said mysteriously: "This matter involves a wide range of things, where should I start?" ”
The little old man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Do you know that a thousand years ago, there was a Dan prescription that was circulated in the world?" ”
The three of us said in unison, "Danfang again?" ”
The little old man showed a strange look: "You really know. ”
Mr. Lu coughed dryly twice and said, "After all, yes, I have heard a little wind." ”
The little old man smiled and said, "Since it is a person, then you should know that the old ancestor voluntarily went to the underworld for the sake of preservation, right?" ”
We nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The little old man looked at the starry sky and said, "The old ancestor has high skills and a smart mind. Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather a plate of scattered ghosts together. Although his old man has already reached the underworld, he will not die so lightly. ”
Mr. Lu said: "He is indeed not dead, a while ago, we also saw his phantom. ”
The little old man nodded carelessly, it seems that he didn't care about the life and death of the old ancestor. This eight brothers and sisters really have no feelings for each other.
The little old man said, "The old ancestor is not dead. and they had to find a way to get him out. It's just that these powerful ghosts can show off their might in the world, but in front of the people of the underworld, they are not worth mentioning. Even though they work hard, the things in this world cannot be accomplished by hard work alone. Fortunately, people came up with a condition. This condition is to exchange Danfang for ancestors. ”
I nodded, thinking, "I've heard this news." ”
The little old man said: "Our eight brothers and sisters have been in Liucheng for a few days, and we have a lot of trouble with people. Suddenly, news came, saying that somewhere, a clue to Danfang had been found. The scene was truly spectacular. And our eight siblings watched the excitement from the sidelines. ”
"Then, one day, someone came to us. That man's strength may not be higher than ours, but he hides himself well, and we still don't know his identity. This man came to remind us that karma is a rule formed when the heavens and the earth were first formed, but it is not unchangeable. ”
"As soon as our eight brothers and sisters heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and asked, how should we change it?"
"The man said, "I can't change this, but the people of Hades can do it."
And when he had said this, he drifted away. And we eight brothers, I don't know what he means, if we dare to go to the underworld, do we need to delay in the world for so long? ”
It wasn't until later that we understood what he meant. If the people of the underworld want the Danfang, we should get the Danfang and then offer it to the people of the underworld. Thus asking them to change our cause and effect. So our eight brothers also participated in the search for Danfang. I remember that the eldest prince was very happy at that time, and praised us for finally understanding the righteousness once. Actually, we are not looking for Danfang, we are looking for ourselves. ”
When I heard that Dan Fang could exchange the old ancestor, I couldn't help but be a little excited, so I asked, "Did you find it later?" ”
The little old man smiled bitterly: "If we found it, we would have dedicated it to the people of the underworld a long time ago." Will it still be here? ”
I thought to myself: The blind dragon in my body is half Danfang. I'll have to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if the little old man finds out, I'm afraid he will kill me.
And the little old man was still babbling and saying: "After we got there, we found that thousands of forces from all sides had gathered in one place. Before everyone could find the Dan Fang, they fought first. The scene at that time was really chaotic. ”
"At the beginning, the principle of our eight brothers and sisters was to fish in troubled waters, not to provoke right and wrong, and to leave when Danfang appeared and robbed it. However, a few Taoist priests did not have long eyes, it is estimated that they were red-eyed, and they must provoke us, and in desperation, we had to fight back and beat him seriously injured, but fortunately, we didn't want to go too far, so he saved his life. As a result, because of a moment of softness, it brought us trouble. ”
