Chapter 44. see off

The light in the room was slightly dim, and the smell of incense lingered around everyone for a long time.

In front of them, a group of Taoist priests in yellow robes sat around the Tai Chi Bagua diagram. And in the middle of the gossip diagram, the young ghost was chained there. In front of the ghost was a wooden table with an incense burner and some common fruit growing from the tree.

On the ceiling, the transparent glass is also engraved with the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, echoing the distance below. In order to lead the way of heaven and connect the lonely soul below.

Deacon Zhou Yan said with a serious face at this time, "Xiao Li, do you know your position?" Dharma is not child's play, and you can't make a wrong step.

"I'm already clear," Li Mengshan nodded back. His role in this ritual is to see off the pedestrian, to see off this young ghost.

This was specially arranged by Deacon Zhou Yan, and according to him, after this ritual was over, Li Mengshan would be able to obtain a special energy called the power of merit. This energy is non-attacking, but it is extremely resistant to evil such as curses.

The power of merit is a kind of feedback from the Heavenly Dao to those who do good deeds, a kind of reward. This is also the reason why those good people have Buddha light protection.

"Okay, you go there. Remember, be merciful. Deacon Zhou Yan patted Li Mengshan on the back and said to him.

"Okay, I remember." , Li Mengshan walked forward and stood next to the young ghost, the closest one to him among the people present.

Seeing that Li Mengshan was already in place, all the Taoist priests began to recite the "Ode to Introduction" in unison.

It's not too loud, but it hits people's hearts. A serious, sad atmosphere began to spread among the crowd.

Half an hour later, Li Mengshan helped remove the chains from the young ghost's body and let him return to his free body. The chant changed, and the Taoist priests recited the "Ode to Consolation".

Fifteen minutes passed, and the ghost finally woke up, and Li Mengshan saw in his eyes the agility that he hadn't had before.

As soon as the young ghost woke up, he saw Li Mengshan standing next to him, and he looked over with a puzzled expression.

Li Mengshan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, his eyes full of reluctance and pity. Whatever the reason, this boy left this world at his best age.

The previous brilliance had nothing to do with him, and the world abandoned him. He was left in the icy waters, where no one spoke, no one visited, and all that awaited him was endless silence.

Hearing the chant, the young man's body began to tremble violently. He bent his legs slightly and cupped his head. The memories of life are pouring out like a tide, and you can't stop.

The young man shook up, his lips twitched, as if words had come out of his mouth.

It's just that none of the people present heard it, and Li Mengshan was no exception. I guess the boy forgot how to talk to others.

He just needs an audience, an audience who can listen to him all his life, and Li Mengshan happens to be that audience.

Li Mengshan didn't say a word the whole time, just stayed there quietly, looked at him, and let the boy finish his story.

Time passed slowly in the midst of the chant, and after fifty minutes a glimmer of light came from the sky, and the boy stopped speaking, and he looked up and burst into tears.

The story has come to an end, the ending is in front of everyone, and there is no point in going on.

The chanting of "Ascending to the Heavens" sounded, which was the blessing of everyone to him, hoping that he could be transferred to reincarnation, and that he could ascend to the immortal realm.

The boy's body began to blur, and he turned into particles of light and floated into the sky.

At this moment, the young man looked at Li Mengshan. His lips twitched, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito. But Li Mengshan understood only this sentence, and heard it very clearly, what he said was "Thank you." ”

Li Mengshan nodded to the young man, did not speak, and watched the light particles drift away cleanly.

Someone to see off is completely different from no one, even if it is a stranger to see off, the departed person will still miss the old place.

The chanting stopped abruptly, and the strong fragrance lingered for a long time. Li Mengshan stood in place and didn't move, he looked at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking.

The Taoist priests who were doing the work began to move, and they chanted for more than two hours, but they did not drink a sip of water, and now their mouths were dry, and they were anxious to find water to drink.

The crowd began to leave one after another, but Li Mengshan still didn't move, he was like a fool. Fang Qingyun walked over at this time, he shook Li Mengshan's body, and said, "Hey, Li Mengshan, we should go back." I had to report back to District 24. ”

Li Mengshan turned around and nodded at Fang Qingyun.

At this time, he suddenly felt warm on his head, and when he looked back, the sun was shining on his face, and there was a warm cloud of sunlight squirming in his chest.

Is this the power of merit? Li Mengshan thought about it and understood the source of the sunshine.

Isn't it a cloudy day today, where does the sun come from? It seems that it is the credit of the power of merit.

After thinking about it, Li Mengshan followed Fang Qingyun and walked out.

Outside the door, God watched the time to enjoy a rain, and the wind stained with rain hurt a little on his face. Li Mengshan's heart moved, and he turned on the receiver. There are two words clearly written on the screen, sunny day.

After reading it, Li Mengshan spoke, "Fang Qingyun, you say, do I still have a chance to meet that young man?" He felt sorry for the teenager, who was so young.

Fang Qingyun paused for a moment, and he replied, "It's also possible, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, who can say for sure?" ”

"It's also ha", Li Mengshan collected the transmitter, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was reflected on the clean screen.

"Let's go, Uncle Xu may be in a hurry." , Fang Qingyun urged him. Deacon Zhou Yan went back early, and he had other things to do, so he didn't wait for them and handed them over to Xu Hu to deal with.

"Okay, let's hurry." Li Mengshan stretched out his hand and pushed Fang Qingyun forward.

Five minutes later, Li Mengshan and the others met Xu Hu.

The latter smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao Li, have you gained the power of merit?" ”

Li Mengshan also replied with a smile, "Well, I've already got it, it's a very wonderful feeling." ”

Xu Hu nodded and replied, "Of course, the power of merit has a miraculous effect!" Alright, I'll drive you to the airport, and the 14th arrondissement has already prepared your tickets. ”

"Well, then there is Uncle Lao Xu!" "You're welcome, let's go."

After the three of them finished talking, when Xu Hu drove to the car, everyone drove towards the airport.

"By the way, little iron ball, you have to help me say a few more kind words when you go back to Division 24!" On the way, Xu Hu suddenly said, "I am going to rise one liter recently, so I can get a little pension to live." Can you help me with this? ”

"No problem! This is as it should be", Fang Qingyun said casually. He glanced at Xu Hu's hands, intentionally or unintentionally.

The wound has healed, it seems that special drugs have been used? Otherwise, it would be impossible to recover so quickly with the demon method, Fang Qingyun thought secretly in his heart.

I hope this little robot doesn't talk too much, it spoils my good deeds. Xu Hu was also anxious in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only make this decision.

Li Mengshan, who was between the two, didn't know what they were thinking at all, he was feeling the newly acquired power of merit in his body.

In this way, the car ended this trip to Shaoting Lake with their own hearts.

…………

At this time, thousands of miles away, on top of a tall building, an old man came to the office with a report.

In the office, a burly man is looking into the distance through a window.

"President, the report has returned!" Outside the door, there was a sharp knock.

"Come in," the man replied softly.

"President, it's not good", the old man entered the house and said in a deep voice, "Wang Huer and Niu San, those two things were killed!" ”

"I had expected this, and if they had done what I said, it wouldn't have happened...... It's a pity, oh, the two of them are so arrogant", the man turned, revealing his demonic left face.

The old man swallowed and foamed, and he continued to report, "Also, President. There are quite a few complaints about your taking in humans, and I want you to give an attitude. ”

"Give an attitude? Okay! Let him come to me and say, I want to see who is going to teach me how to do things," the man chuckled.

The old man bowed his head and stopped talking, he knew that the president was the one who said the same.

The man who had ruined half of his face stepped forward, shook his head and sighed, "I'm still too soft on you after all!" I've been questioned by all of them! If this is going to get out, how can I cooperate with others? Not to mention that now is the stage of negotiation with the Qingqiu Immortal Alliance. ”

The man turned his back for a long time, and he continued, "Lao Yu, I trust you the most. You go and talk to the group of troublemakers down there, and say I'm going to give an attitude, and let them prepare. ”

"President, this is not appropriate......", the old man who was called Lao Yu had small beads of sweat on his head.

"Don't worry", the man's eyes froze, "...... won't die much"

…………

Li Mengshan and Fang Qingyun finally returned to the Twenty-fourth Division of the Immortal Spirit Daoist.

On this trip, they encountered too many things, and they were five poisons and corpse soldiers.

Li Mengshan took a deep breath, and he finally came back. Now he desperately wants to become stronger, so that he can save his life and not be bullied by others.

What about Fang Qingyun? He was also very excited, not because of this trip to Shaoting Lake. It was what Deacon Chen Linhai said to him: his new body is ready! He'll be free to move around in no time!

With a vision for the future, the two walked towards Deacon Chen's office.

At this time, Deacon Chen was looking at the report on the table with a confused expression, which was information about Li Mengshan.

Deacon Chen muttered to himself, "How can this be? How could someone appear out of thin air? It shouldn't be! Or is it ...... Has he really not changed at all since fifty years ago? ”

On Chen Linhai's left hand side is a photograph of a person who is almost exactly the same as Li Mengshan, except for the scar on his face......
