Chapter 33: Take the Soul
"Put away the 180 coins first." Lu Gongdao.
The Minion didn't know why, but he still obediently put away the offering money and held it in his arms. "And then?"
"You should also have a channel to find someone who is not dying, right?" Lu Gong asked.
The Minion nodded and said, "This is not difficult, which village is near here, and which one is not." It's this one hundred and eighty pieces...... Less! ”
"Can't you add some of your own?" Lu Gong was really speechless about this guy.
The Minion sighed: "Forget it, forget it." It can be regarded as a young master's fortune and disaster. ”
He paused, and then said seriously: "Say, what do you want the master to do." ”
"Find a suitable family, put this offering money on the bedside of the family, and tell them that if the person dies, send it to the land temple as soon as possible."
The Minions were stunned for a moment. "What are you doing here?"
For the souls of the dead, it is not unusual to come to the Land Temple as the first stop, but if it can be turned into a corpse, it is not very lucky.
"Just do it." Lu Gong knew that he couldn't explain it to him clearly.
The Minion kicked him and muttered: "A broken box, what a cow, be careful that the master loses you." ”
Saying that, he quickly ran out. Lu Gong waited for him, and waited until the second half of the night to see him dragging his tired body back.
Lying directly on the altar, he said weakly: "If there is no incense, the master will be about to starve to death." ”
Lu Gong knew that he had secretly hidden several steamed buns under the altar, ignored his complaints, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"A dilapidated settlement in the next village, tuberculosis has been suffering from tuberculosis all winter, and I can't stand it immediately, and it is estimated that I will die in two days." As he spoke, the Minion began to sigh again, "It's not easy for anyone these days." If it weren't for you, the old people in our Xiaokan Village would probably not be able to survive this year. ”
Remembering that a few months ago, he was still worrying about a few steamed buns, and the land god suddenly felt that he was still favored by fate.
As the land said, there was no news for the next two days, until the third day, three emaciated men carried a broken wooden box, came to the land temple, threw the wooden box directly to the temple door, and then ran away with their noses covered.
The Minion scolded as he jumped down from the altar and saw the wooden box, which was more than twice as tall as himself, and it took a lot of effort to climb up.
"Open the box." Lu Gong could clearly feel that the man still had his last breath, and his body trembled slightly.
Thinking about what might happen next, he also had some feelings in his heart, but he quickly adjusted, the way of heaven is like this, no one can escape.
The person in the box was emaciated, obviously suffering from illness for a long time, and only hung his last breath. The person who settled him didn't seem to be very patient, and just wrapped some clothes in front of him, and it was over.
He is not very old, about his early thirties, and it seems that he has never done heavy work, but his hands are slender and slender, more like a scholar.
No wonder the land should be said to be a broken settlement, and it should have had some prestige during his lifetime.
Lu Gong thought about it, and saw that the sun had set and the crescent moon was gradually hanging in the sky, and he knew that the time was almost up.
The Minion also fell silent, looking at him curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Detention Spirit!"
Lu Gong's heart moved, and the box in front of the Land Temple was completely quiet.
The Minion also felt something, and subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw a "person" sitting up from the box, he hit a spirit.
The soul still seemed to be a little uncomfortable, sitting in the box, looking down at its own body, its thin face was dull, and it didn't know what it was thinking.
"Hey, almost. You're dead, admit it. "The land can't stand this kind of grinding and chirping guy the most," he said.
The man turned his head and saw the Minion sitting in front of the Land Temple, frowning: "Lord of the Land? ”
Lu Gong felt that this guy was compared to his reaction at the time.
He seemed to quickly accept the fact that he had passed away, and floated out of the wooden box, landed in front of the earth, and glanced at the old banyan tree overhead.
"How did I end up in Xiaokan Village?"
"Master bought you, what's the matter? If you want to thank the master, you can tell me if you secretly left any gold and silver treasures or anything during your lifetime. The land god groaned with a smile.
The scholar-like soul eyes suddenly dimmed, he arched his hand, bowed deeply to the land god, and said apologetically: "Thank you for taking it in, it's just that Xiaosheng was poor and had no inheritance......
"I knew it was a poor sour. Forget it, forget it. Master is just joking with you, don't be so serious. The land god shouted a few words, pointed at Lu Gong casually, and said, "If you want to thank you, you have to thank that elm pimple, most of the money is from him." ”
The scholar turned his head to look at Lu Gong, and found that it was actually a merit box, and he looked puzzled.
"You're a reader, aren't you? Can you have a reputation? Lu Gong spoke.
The scholar suddenly looked panicked. "Box Spirit!"
Lu Gong had no choice but to patiently explain to him, and after a long time, he finally let him accept his existence.
"It turned out to be Brother Lu. Don't thank you, the little brother is justified here! He bowed deeply to Lu Gong.
After doing all this, he suddenly came to his senses and said blankly: "Then where should I go now?" ”
"Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?" The land god suddenly laughed.
Lu Gong had long been accustomed to his pranks, and when he heard this, he comforted: "Brother Ma, if you don't dislike it, I have a place here, you can live first." ”
"Live...... In the box? The scholar's face was horrified.
Lu Gong was helpless, and his mind moved, and the scholar had already flown uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with me?" He panicked in the air, but found himself shrinking and flying towards Lu Gong.
"Send the general!" Lu Gong knew it in his heart, and with an order, he suddenly found that the scholar's soul flew into a dark space like a box.
He floated in the air and cried out in horror: "What is this place, how can I not see anything!" ”
It turns out that the Soul Detention will be like this!
There is a space for the soul to live in. Lu Gong secretly humanized and hurriedly comforted this first test subject.
"You don't need to panic, this is in my space, where you don't have to be reincarnated so quickly, and you don't have to suffer from reincarnation."
Sure enough, the scholar quickly calmed down. "Is Brother Lu asking me to do something?"
"No, you stay here first, your soul is too weak to withstand the daylight, so you can only come out at night. Wait until I find a way to strengthen your soul before I make plans. "It's the first time that Lu Gong has used the spirit to send a general, but he wants to see how he can cultivate a ghost general.
According to his previous thoughts, if he could turn these souls into gods, that would be the most direct way.
"In this case, then thank you Brother Lu." The scholar's spirit suddenly disappeared into the darkness.
