Chapter 176: Soul Wandering Out of the City (Part II)
Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, and the harsh laws and taxes are even more terrifying than beasts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This is one of the few words handed down by ancient sages, and Lin Ye can also be occasionally quoted from some ancient books.
Regarding this sentence, Lin Ye was also like the strange news he said to the snake catcher before, and he couldn't understand it.
Today, however, when he strings them together and considers his own situation of being forced out of the city to become a homeless person because he could not pay his taxes, it all becomes clear.
Xu Boqing couldn't bear to write these feelings and facts in "The Snake Catcher Said", at that time, it should be at the end of the Great Xia Divine Kingdom, and all the major Taoist sects were vying for power and profit, and they were all fighting for the Taoist incense in various cities.
Moreover, the taxes and willingness collected were more than five times that of ordinary times, and the common people were squeezed to the point that they had no way to live.
Therefore, the Great Qin Wuguo, which has been wandering in the north of the Great Xia Divine Kingdom all the year round, joined forces with some Taoist sects, as well as more than a dozen martial arts sects, and took advantage of the internal strife in the Great Xia Divine Kingdom to destroy the Great Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Great Xia was extinguished, and Great Qin rose.
Another change of dynasty began, and such dynastic changes abound in the long river of history. Through the understanding in "Persona of Boqing", Lin Ye noticed a common denominator, that is, these fallen dynasties had big problems of their own, from the top of prosperity to weakness, giving other small countries the opportunity to replace them.
"It's not just the harsh taxes, it's the hearts of the people. The human heart is a more terrible existence than a beast, and human jealousy, **, hatred, and resentment ......"
Unconsciously, Lin Ye's heavenly soul drifted through this yin channel, constantly absorbing the perception of the negative aura in these yin channels, and came to the land of nine yin last night.
Here, nine yin channels from different directions converged, which brought a huge impact on Lin Ye's Heavenly Soul.
Some of the other eight channels came from the Black Mist Forest, some from mass graves, and some from other cities.
The yin canal gathered together, and the aura inside was chaotic and mixed together, which made Lin Ye feel dizzy for a while, as if he had experienced the dark life of countless people.
Under the influence of these dark aura, Lin Ye's heavenly soul became muddy, and those seven emotions and six desires that were originally impossible to exist because of the out-of-body state actually appeared on his body in a bizarre way.
Moreover, compared to the seven emotions and six desires felt by the body, Lin Ye's feelings at the moment are as good as they are, and they are getting more and more intense, these feelings don't know how to arise, and they also don't know how to stop.
Sadness!
Wrath!
Grudge!
Eat one's heart out!
Get you back!
Those unique experiences that he didn't know who belonged to, entering Lin Ye's Heavenly Soul, made him empathize, and the negative emotions were magnified hundreds and thousands of times, making Lin Ye deeply trapped in it, almost unable to extricate himself.
Buzz!
Just when Lin Ye felt that he was going to fall into this inextricable illusion and tribulation forever, suddenly two huge bells rang in his ears, and the whole person was completely sober.
As the ripples of the bell came, Lin Ye's eyes bloomed with a trace of golden light, and he instantly saw through all the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and fears that had plagued him just now.
"What's going on? The breath in this yin channel will take the initiative to invade my heavenly soul, if it weren't for this bell to remind my heavenly soul, I'm afraid I would have been completely occupied by these unconscious emotions. ā
Pinched a cold sweat, although Lin Ye didn't feel any fear now, there was still a faint fear in his heart.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Ye wanted to find out where the bell that saved him came from, looking in the direction where the bell came from, Lin Ye smiled with relief, needless to say, it came from the Great Yuan Ancient Temple that he had been to last night.
"This bell must not be a coincidence, it must be Miss Liang Ru who knew that I was in trouble and deliberately rang it!"
The Heavenly Soul had no emotion, but it didn't prevent Lin Ye from being amorous and recovering to his best state, so Lin Ye moved his Heavenly Soul and slowly floated towards the direction of the ancient temple again.
It's still the same quaint temple from last night, it's still the same barren well, but the difference is that there is no smoke here tonight, and there are no wandering ghosts, and there is no beautiful woman preaching to these ghosts.
"Miss Liang!"
Lin Ye's Heavenly Soul stood next to the ancient well and whispered a few times towards the bottom of the ancient well.
There was no answer, but in the east direction of Lin Ye, another bell rang.
Airplanes!
The sound of the bell, in the middle of the night, makes people feel very steady.
Lin Ye followed the direction of the bell, walked through the small courtyard in this ancient temple and walked inside, although this place was dilapidated, but it could vaguely see the prosperity of thousands of years ago.
The temples were huge, one after the other, and there seemed to be some maze connected to each other, Lin Ye's Heavenly Soul only came in for a short while, and then he lost his way and forgot the way back.
Airplanes!
When the bell rang again, Lin Ye also broke off the idea of returning the same way, so he continued to follow the bell all the way inside.
In the ancient temple, there are treasure halls, and some broken clay sculptures can be vaguely seen inside. Lin Ye stepped forward curiously to take a look, only to see that many of these clay sculptures were missing arms and legs, and there seemed to be traces of gold leaf on them.
"Are these the Buddhas enshrined in the temples by the Buddhists? Their Buddhas, even if they have broken themselves, how can they bless these believers who believe in them?"
Seeing the full picture of these Buddha statues, Lin Ye just shook his head, he didn't know the so-called Buddha Dao, and he didn't dare to make assertions.
However, Lin Ye knew that any Dao country that could dominate the entire continent must have something to do.
Although he didn't know much about the Great Yuan Buddha Kingdom, he benefited a lot from the Dharma he heard last night.
I didn't have the opportunity to enter the interior of this ancient temple last night to find out, but today I fulfilled Lin Ye's wish. However, the bell was still inside, Lin Ye had been walking inside the ancient temple for so long, but he had been passing between the various halls, and the bell was far and near, as if it was still changing.
"Where did this bell come from?"
In order to find this bell, Lin Ye did not stay in the treasure hall too much, but quickly floated over.
Finally, in a place called the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Lin Ye found the source of this bell.
Squeak squeak......
A big black mouse, with a small paper clock hanging from its tail, was licking the lamp oil under the candlestick of the main hall, and its tail flicked and flicked, and every time it was shaken, a bell buzzed. (To be continued.) )
