Volume 1 The World Chapter 43 The Difficulty of the Heart (2)

At this time, the sun has set, and the chief of the pine nut road flips through the thin booklet, but he also feels very heavy, but the child's childish words accurately record how the villagers helped the orphans and widows, such as a bag of corn in exchange for three points of land, and for example, a handful of vegetables can move a larger piece of furniture, and the family dog is killed by someone who does not know who killed, and the vegetable garden planted at home was bulldozed overnight, but in the end, the child wrote with his weak hand on the last few pages of the booklet but it is even more unbearable:

"My mother hasn't moved for many days, and I have nothing to change for food"

"The thatched grass will rise, and it will roll on the ground in abundance."

"You can catch fish in the river, the river is very cold, and the fish are charred but delicious"

The last page was torn in half, and I could only see "A cripple came from the village, and I gave him half a fish to ......"

Han Chi could think of how helpless the child was when he wrote these words, and Han Chi didn't know if there were no other literate people in this village, so he left this ink and booklet, if there were other literate people, I am afraid that even these words would be annihilated, right?

Or could he get the child and his mother back with a full meal?

If there are literate, there will be someone who administers justice for them, or worse.

The chief of Songzi closed the booklet and handed it to Han Chi, and then said, "In fact, it is not difficult to exorcise ghosts many times, but the real difficulty is to face these people's hearts."

Han Chi lowered his head, and said angrily, "After reading this booklet, I will also think that this village might as well not be saved."

Matsuko replied, "You know, poverty and simplicity do not mean the same thing, the so-called opposition between good and evil, then most of them have different positions, and for ordinary people, the immediate benefits are very few people can let go, that is, if they do something bad, they will be forgiven by themselves, don't others do the same? It's just that they may not have thought of it, and maybe they will still think of it, but most people's hearts are like this, but they really don't save it?"

Han Chi took a few steps forward, then stopped, but said in a deep voice, "I can understand what you say, so I still feel very blocked in my heart, but aren't we Taoist priests? Since we are Taoist priests, we still have to save them, not to mention what mistakes the people in this village have made, do we deserve to die?" But it is not what we should do to let evil ghosts hurt people, we must be different from these villagers, if we don't catch ghosts and save people, how different are we from them?"

Han Chi paused, and then continued: "It's just a little unwilling! Uncle Songzi, wouldn't it be better if we came a few days earlier, even if it was only a little?"

Matsuko Michichi simply said, "It's just that there is no if."

After hearing this, Han Chi was silent again, continued to take a few steps forward, and finally clenched his fists, and then said firmly, "Then catch this cannibalistic demon, if you can't do anything before, then the current thing must be done better."

Hearing Han Chi's words, the chief of Songzi Dao was under the haze of the days, but he rarely leaked a relieved smile, so he stepped forward to be parallel to Han Chi, but replied, "That's right, we all have to do better!"

The two of them were stepping on the last bit of the sunset, walking towards the deep exit of the village, if it was said that it was the tiger's den in Longtan in front of them at this time, but how could they stop the footsteps of the two.

It's just that in the darkness, I heard a delicate voice, but it said playfully, "This first step is considered a failure?"

Then another deep voice replied, "It's just the beginning."

The night was really like a big ink splashed on the earth, and the heavens and the earth were all blackened, and at this time, the unknown breath had begun to wrap around the village, but the Songzi Daoist and Han Chi returned to the village chief's house at this time.

A dim oil lamp does not shine much brighter, and dimness can also aggravate gloom.

The village chief's family has prepared a lot of food, but the chief of Songzi said before that they don't need to eat, but how can the village chief not be entertained?

The four Tianyiguan disciples were already sitting on the table, and there were still two vacant seats left next to them, but the four of them did not move the dishes and chopsticks at this time, they should be waiting for Songzi Daoist and Han Chi, but the village chief was squatting in the courtyard not far away.

The chief of Songzi said hello to the village chief first, and wanted the village chief to eat with them, but he didn't expect the village chief to still squat there, and just replied, "I don't know what will happen tonight, how can I eat?"

The chief of the pine nut road was not reluctant, so he took Han Chi to sit in the table, but before eating, the chief of the pine nut road took out a silver needle, ordered it on a plate, and saw that the silver needle had not changed, and then said to everyone, "Just eat it all, don't live up to the kindness of the village chief."

Han Chi can probably understand the caution of the pine nut chief, this kind of defense is not aimed at a specific person, but for those who are unknowable and malicious, this malice is that there is no leakage now, how can people not have scruples?

Therefore, the pine nuts must be cautious about anything, but the village chief's family has prepared this meal but must also eat, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the villagers, that is, the richest family in the village, how many chickens can be eaten a year, how many fish can be caught, and this egg and this dish are not saved by the villagers from their own rations?

If you don't want to eat, what excuse do you have to make the people in the village feel at ease?

This is the difficulty of the world, kindness and malice are simply entangled, and the red dust is nothing more than that, and for the cultivators who walk in the world, they can only do it themselves.

Especially at this time, Han Chi and others are in the game.

In this way, he waited until late at night, but the village chief's expression was already very tired, but he refused to sleep, so he accompanied Han Chi and the others.

It is said that this village is indeed a bit evil now, and it stands to reason that there should be no sound in this village late at night, that is, people are sleeping, and there are always insects and birds that need to be moved, but tonight is really weird, and it is really silent, so quiet that people are a little panicked.

In such a silent atmosphere, a miserable scream was exceptionally clear, and it seemed to have ignited something, Songzi Dao Chang hurriedly led everyone to find the sound, but found an unconscious villager not far from the Liu family, the village chief panted and followed behind everyone, and when he saw the unconscious villager, he shouted, "This is the old shepherd in the village, how did he come here?"

Songzi Daoist first probed down to investigate the situation of this old Ge, and then said, "This person is just fainting, but there is nothing serious" and asked Han Chi to carry this person, but he didn't dare to leave him here alone.

After dealing with this person, the head of the pine nut road opened his eyes, but he could clearly see a yin qi like ink, and he kept connecting to the family surnamed Liu from here.

After a little hesitation, the Songzi Daoist ordered the disciples of the four Tianyiguan to each hold the four talismans of gold, wood, earth and water to guard the four directions, and he walked in the center with the fire talisman, so he formed a small five-element formation, but he slowly approached the family surnamed Liu.

Han Chi and the village chief just cautiously followed behind the formation of five people.

According to the traces of recourse, everyone has been found outside the main house, the chief of the pine nut road saw this and recited the spell, for a while the master of the pine nut road in the hand is a firelight, the surrounding light is very clear, but the village chief next to the ordinary man was startled, so he took a few steps back before stopping the general.

Han Chi took a closer look, this fire did come out of this talisman, but it was not obtained from the burning talisman, Han Chi opened his eyes and looked again, and saw that the surrounding aura was gathering towards the talisman with a strange law, thinking that this talisman has the effect of gathering spirits for fire, Songru Daoist also said, ghosts and ghosts are mostly not close to flames, and I think that Songzi Daoist chose the fire talisman as the main talisman of the formation because of this.

Everyone entered the main house in the light of the fire, but they didn't need to open their eyes to see that there was a monster formed by the collection of yin qi on the bed of the main house, but it was standing there.

At this time, Han Chi could see it clearly, but this monster couldn't say what it looked like, this body was all made up of yin qi, the qi was formless, and it didn't have a fixed form, but it sometimes merged into a human face in front of him, but this human face was also distorted, but the hideous face was even more weird and terrifying.

Fortunately, there was the light of the pine nut long talisman, otherwise, if such a monster suddenly encountered in the dark night, Han Chi believed that it would do nothing, and it would make many people lose their courage.

When the ghost saw the many people and the disgusting fire, he panicked, but he was still tossing and turning on the bed, and he did not know what he was doing.

The chief of Songzi didn't give it a chance to reflect, so he hurriedly shouted, "Tufu stepped forward, this ghost has been suppressed"

The disciples of the four heavenly views turned around with the time, but the disciple who took the earth talisman stopped when he was facing this ghost thing, and after the disciple silently recited the incantation, the earth talisman emitted a faint blue light, and a cage made of earth and stone was formed around the ghost thing.

This ghost creature was agitated by such a bundle, but it was against the cage, but the strength of this ghost creature was not small, just such a collision, the cage made of earth and stone was in danger.

Songzi hurriedly shouted "Wood solid" The four disciples turned again, but it was the disciple holding the wooden talisman who was turning to the present of the ghost, and this disciple also recited the mantra silently, but there were many vines on the cage, and the cage slowly stabilized.

At this time, the village chief seemed to come back to his senses, and shouted madly, "Quick, kill it, kill this harmful thing!"

Matsuko Daoist continued to shout, "Use gold as a sword to kill demons."

This formation changed again, but the disciple with the golden talisman was facing this ghost thing, and I saw that he also recited the incantation silently, but it was condensed into a big sword in mid-air, and the tip of the sword was pointing at this ghost thing, but this sword was unparalleled, and it attracted the fire in the hand of the pine nut Taoist to converge towards the tip of the sword.

The ghost creature finally felt frightened, and began to retreat to the corner of the cage, but it shrank into a ball, but the yin qi around it kept rolling, like a person in a hurry.

When the Songzi Dao Chief felt that the sword qi was almost condensed, he wanted to wave his hand to draw the sword qi to kill this ghost.

Unexpectedly, Han Chi, who had been speechless behind him, suddenly shouted.

"Wait a minute!"
