Li Qing waved his hand and said softly, "Get up and speak." ”

The man mixed the old man up, and when he stood still and calmed down, he said, "The Taoist chief just asks about something, so you just tell what you know." ”

Li Qingdao, "Old man, do you know that this Xiaojia Village has had a funeral recently?"

The old man wiped his sweat and said without thinking about it, "I haven't done it in a while, if someone in the village leaves, we villagers will definitely go and give it a ride." ”

"Just because you haven't had a funeral doesn't mean that no one has died, think about it carefully, but who died without a funeral or disappeared and didn't reappear?"

The old man's complexion changed, he became old and fine, and he understood what Li Qing meant in a flash, and his teeth chattered, "Yes." Is the Taoist chief saying that the people in Xiaojia Village were all killed by powerful ghosts?"

Before Li Qing could speak, the man scolded, "If you ask you, you can say, don't ask more." ”

Li Qing looked over, and the man ran up and whispered, "Dao Chief, it's better to keep these things secret, otherwise the people who make trouble will be panicked and it will be difficult to deal with." ”

Li Qing nodded.

Only then did the man turn around and say to the old man, "Tell me about this matter carefully, and don't spread it after you go back." The sky is blue and the sun is bright, humanity is brilliant, how can there be so many ghosts and monsters to harm people!"

The old man replied, and then he considered the cause and effect of the matter.

Yun Niang is a well-known beauty in several villages, and her cooking and spinning skills are also a must.

However, since his parents died when he was a child, he was given a child daughter-in-law to a family in the village.

A few days ago, she suddenly showed her pregnancy, and her little husband was only eight years old.

A good girl was sunk in the river.

Yun Niang has no family, and if such an ugly thing happens, the family will naturally not hold a funeral for her.

It's a bloody plot.

Sending the old man away, Li Qing stood in place, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It must be that Yun Niang who turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge. A voice like a silver bell rang out.

The Jingwei bird flew down, landed in a human form, and said, "Why are you here?"

I saw that the little princess was wearing a scholarly shirt and dressed up in men's makeup, and at this time, she had an expression of being afraid of big things when the people who ate melons saw the excitement, and her face was eager to try, "I'll see how the Taoist chief can subdue demons and eliminate demons! I haven't seen monsters yet, so let's open my eyes." ”

The middle-aged general had already walked up and clasped his fists and saluted, "Princess, the son of a daughter, don't sit down." You'd better go back to the palace!"

As he spoke, he was about to beckon someone to escort the little princess back.

The little princess had already shouted, "Don't go back to this palace!" General Mu, with you and the Taoist chief here, can't you still protect the safety of this palace?"

General Mu looked at Li Qing and stopped talking.

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back together." ”

The little princess pretended to be majestic and said, "Dao Chief, the ghost is harmful, don't you care?"

"There's no trace here, let's go, wait and see. Li Qing strode forward.

The little princess and Sycamore hurriedly followed and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Li Qing didn't answer, but asked, "If it's really that Yun Niang who turns into a powerful ghost and harms people, what should I do if I catch her?"

Wutong said, "People are humane, ghosts have ghosts, since she turned into a demon, mutilated the people, and killed things with a sword, what is the reason to talk about?"

The little princess exclaimed, "But she is so pitiful, pregnant with Liujia, and died unjustly, with one corpse and two lives, should we get rid of her indiscriminately?"

One is a little girl born in the people and born in poverty, and the other is a little princess who was born in the palace and is rich and noble, and will even inherit the throne in the future.

The origins are different, and the personalities created are also very different.

They can become friends probably because they both have a pure heart.

"Mr. (Michicho), what do you say?"

"Yes, what should I do?" the poor man must have something to hate, Li Qing sighed, "Let's talk about this when we catch her." ”

"Sir. Wutong said, "Last time, you said that there is reincarnation in heaven and earth, and people can be reincarnated after death, what about ghosts?"

"Ghosts?" Li Qing said lightly, "The ghost is dead, the soul is scattered, and everything is empty." ”

"Did you completely erase his existence from heaven and earth?"

Li Qing paused and muttered, "Even the true spirit will be damaged, it should be about the same." ”

"What is the true spirit?"

"The true spirit is a ray of spiritual light, and everything in the world has a true spirit as long as it is a living being. The reason why man is the chief of all spirits is because that ray of spiritual light is purer and stronger.

Even if a person's soul returns to the underworld, drinks Meng Po soup, and washes away his memory, he will always leave some imprints on his true spirit.

Some people are born smart and are born to know, which may have touched the imprint of their previous life, which is also the so-called mystery in the womb.

And once the soul is gone, the true spirit will be damaged or even die. In that case, even if you enter the cycle of samsara, you are more likely to become a cow, a horse, or even an ignorant flower, plant, and fruit plant. ”

"Then are we cultivators cultivating true spirits?"

Li Qing nodded, and shook his head again, "We cultivate the True Spirit, and we also cultivate the Yuan Shen." People have three souls and seven souls, and the soul attached to the true spirit is the self, and without the soul, even if you are reincarnated and reincarnated, the person who lives again is no longer me. Therefore, we Taoist practitioners only cultivate this life, not the next life. ”

Sycamore and the little princess both nodded their little heads and listened attentively.

Li Qing continued, "It is a very cruel thing to completely erase the existence of a living being. The avenue is fifty, the heavens are forty-nine, for the living beings, the true spirit is the one who has escaped, and it is the last ray of life. If even the true spirit dies, it can be regarded as completely erasing the existence of a living being. ”

Wutong fell silent and said for a while, "Are the souls of the people in the village still there?"

"With so many people who died in vain, the underworld will also be alarmed, presumably their souls have already been taken away by the shadows.

Sycamore, the world is full of red dust, never be blinded by anger. Only when the heart of the Tao is clear will it be resolute, and perseverance will be vigorous. Cultivation is a Dao heart.

Don't change your mind because of others, even if I am your master, my way is not your way, as long as you decide, do it. Cultivation is the process of learning from things and integrating knowledge with action. Do you understand?"

Sycamore nodded, his lips pursed, showing some sharpness.

The little princess, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Dao Chief, can I worship you as a teacher?"

Li Qing shook his head, "No." ”

The little princess was stunned, "Why?"

"You are the one who wants to be the king, and the bhikshu kingdom still needs you to inherit the great unification, and the Taoist priests can't teach you anything. ”

"However, my father is still very young, and I may have a younger brother. ”

Li Qing shook his head and did not speak. The bhikshu king could not have any more children, but this was a private matter of the king of a country, and he could not declare it.

The little princess's face was full of resentment, "Besides, even if I become the king, is there a conflict with worshipping you as a teacher?"
