"Master, do you really think so?" asked Sun Wukong suspiciously.

He sat in Master Qingyun's living room. In the immortal world, everyone generally calls each other "Taoist friends," and only a few immortals with profound cultivation are respected as "masters." However, Master Qingyun's aura strength is actually only about 300,000 "Tvorm", and in the immortal realm, he can only mix with an intermediate title at best. He received such an honorific title because he came forward to organize the first joint action of the immortals in history and founded the immortal world. Since then, he has become the rightful leader of the fairy world.

"Not bad," Master Qingyun smiled as he placed a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of Sun Wukong. "This child is a manufacturable material, and he is very important for the future of the fairy world. ”

"But his qualifications are very poor. ”

That's true. In the process of cultivating immortals, Wu Ge's IQ was even higher than the temperature of midsummer, so it always made his three masters irritable.

"I don't think it's his qualifications that matter. "Master Qingyun looks confident. He pointed to the bookshelf and continued, "The books you brought back for me are very interesting, and one of them is called 'Psychology.'" From a 'psychological' point of view, most of the reason why he is not doing well now is because of a lack of self-confidence. If he has self-confidence, his cultivation will naturally reach a higher level. ”

"Oh. Sun Wukong was confused.

"But he's quite angry," Sun Wukong scratched his head. "I've always wondered how someone who has never been cultivated can have such a strong qi, you said ......"

"So what matters to him now is not how to refine qi," Master Qingyun interrupted Sun Wukong. "Of course, it's not that you can't refine qi, after all, this is the foundation. Moreover, although he has sufficient qi, he is still a mortal body, and he needs to be improved and strengthened through cultivation, otherwise it will be difficult to control such sufficient qi. But now the focus is not on this, I think I can teach him some ways of application, and arrange some trials appropriately, so that he may enter the country faster. ”

"Ah, we've thought about it too, but we haven't figured out how to try it yet. ”

"It doesn't have to be difficult at first, it's just a chance to put it into practice. Preferably the kind that can ensure success, it will help to improve his self-confidence. Don't rush it...... Oh, and of course it can't be too slow. ”

"Oh?" the Monkey King will be skeptical. It was never easy for him to talk to Master Qingyun. The master is highly educated, he reads a lot, and he has always had a respectful attitude towards books. There are only two things in this world that can make him Sun Wukong afraid, and books are one of them.

"I heard that the kid was angry a few days ago?" Master Qingyun asked again.

"Hehe, yes, it was the little girl who made it. This little girl...... It's funny. ”

"It's also good to let him loose air...... But of course not in the fairy world. Master Qingyun muttered.

"Okay, let's try it then. Sun Wukong said a little uncertainly.

"I'm tired of the three. I'll give him a chance to do the same. ”

"The master said that, too politely. ”

Walking out of Master Qingyun's courtyard, Sun Wukong was still wondering.

"I've never heard of what the master just said. ”

The so-called "trial" refers to the special cultivation that practitioners carry out in order to break through the bottleneck.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to "try", one is to challenge tasks that exceed one's ability and force oneself to perform at a higher level to achieve the purpose of stimulating one's potential, and the other is to complete tasks that are completely within one's ability, but the amount of tasks is so large that it is perverted. This approach can also achieve the purpose of stimulating potential.

This time, Wu Ge came to the immortal realm as promised, and the three immortals were all there, but they were still arguing over how to "test". The only thing they agreed on was that they couldn't do it the second way, because they didn't have that much time to spend with him.

Then there is only the first way.

"I think I can let him catch Bobo. Jigong said.

"Bobo is like a ghost, can he catch it?" Sun Wukong glared at him. "Don't forget that Master Qingyun said to ensure success. I don't think it's better to let him climb Snow Peak Mountain. ”

"Then don't freeze him? His skin can't do any spells. It's better to let him fight a spirit. Lu Dongbin stroked his long hair and said.

"Just kidding, the spirit can't bite him!, pay attention, the master said that he wants to talk about the 'heart acupoint,' to make him confident, understand?"

Wu Ge stood aside, his face getting whiter. He is indeed very confident now, confident that he will either die or be injured today.

At this moment, the three immortals suddenly stopped arguing, raised their faces, and made the appearance of listening attentively. For a moment, they looked at each other and smiled, looking like they were in a good mood.

"Alright, we decided. Sun Wukong announced on behalf of everyone, "You're going to catch ghosts." ”

Wu Ge took a deep breath, determined to use all his courage to let the three immortals take a good look.

"Why do you want me to catch ghosts?" he protested, "and I have no experience. ”

"Can you have experience if you don't catch it?" Sun Wukong reprimanded with a straight face. "What's there to be afraid of catching ghosts? Don't forget that you are a god, and your qi is stronger than all of us. ”

"So what...... I'm just a trainee god at best. ”

“...... What did he just say, what do you mean by a 'cheap seat immortal'?"

"Hmm, I guess 'cheap seat' means the last seat, right?"

That's true, he's really at the last table. ”

"'Cheap seat immortals' are also immortals," Sun Wukong's tone was completely non-negotiable. "If you don't do something as simple as catching ghosts, what else can you do?"

"Who are you fooling?" Wu Ge muttered. "You're a fairy, of course you think it's simple, ghosts are so fun?"

Sun Wukong pulled out the dust.

Wu Ge rubbed the lump on his head and searched the grove on the edge of the swamp.

Of course, he knew that Sun Wukong had a bad temper, but he was still a little underestimated. In fact, everyone in the fairy world knows that "Sun Wukong's temper and the song of the gods" are the two most terrifying events in parallel, and the horror of the latter thing even surpasses the former.

But for Wu Ge, "Sun Wukong's temper" is enough to see. He was suspicious, if it weren't for Lu Dongbin and Jigong's strong dissuasion, the content of his "trial" today would most likely be a duel with Sun Wukong with a huge disparity in strength, until all his ability to resist the fight was completely and thoroughly stimulated.

In this case, of course, he would rather choose to hunt ghosts, and he was very willing and even impatient. However, Lu Dongbin's explanation also made him understand that ghost hunting is indeed not such a terrible thing.

Not everyone becomes a ghost when they die, Lu Dongbin explained. All human beings have a strong or weak aura, which usually dissipates completely at the same time as a person dies - about 0.07 seconds after death, according to Western magical research. Only a very small number of people's aura can exist independently after death, and even then, it generally only lasts for about seven days. And the aura that can still exist for more than seven days and can carry all or part of a person's consciousness is called a "ghost." "But the chances of that happening are slim to none. In fact, in the thousands of years since the gods took "ghost hunting" as their responsibility, there are only more than 6,000 ghosts in the world, and only more than 700 still exist so far, and the others have slowly dissipated over the years.

The aura strength of the ghost is very low, usually no more than one "Tvorm". "They don't do much real damage other than to scare people, and even then, they often need to figure out how to influence and control the qi for a while. However, the gods believe that it is their duty to catch them and manage them appropriately, because such things cannot be done by mortals - which is why the gods have repeatedly included "extraterrestrials" in the fairy world to deal with them - in fact, the fairy world has a wonderful property that can attract ghosts like a magnet to attract iron. Since ghosts exist entirely in the form of aura, they don't need to open the door of the fairy world to enter the fairy world directly. Once they enter the fairy world, the pre-set mechanism will automatically warn them, and the nearest immortal will go to catch them.

In addition, the immortals are also quite curious about the existence of "ghosts", because according to the traditional theory, the strength of a practitioner's aura should reach at least one million "Tvorm", and they must go through many special cultivation to be able to exist alone from the physical body for a long time, so they feel that a careful and detailed study of "ghosts" may bring some useful hints to their practice.

In short, the gods hunt ghosts not because they hate them or how bad they are, but because they feel that it is a responsibility that mortals cannot bear and therefore must be borne by them. Moreover, when they encounter ghosts, they usually persuade each other to accept the fact that "they are dead, the world is just an old joke that has been heard countless times, and it is not worth nostalgia and cannot be nostalgic" - in a word, it is to do patient and meticulous ideological work, only a few ghosts need to engage in a real battle, but because the intensity of the ghost's aura is too low, such a battle is always one-sided.

The above is Lu Dongbin's explanation of Wu Ge's "origin, history and current situation of ghosts." "It should be admitted that most of them are correct, except for one point: people who die of natural old age or illness basically dissipate their aura before they die, so most of the people who can become ghosts are those young adults who die accidentally. These people are often dissatisfied with the arrangement of fate, and it is basically impossible to convince them, and a fight is difficult to avoid.

But it is indeed impossible for such a fight to hurt the immortals, or even mortals. Therefore, such a "trial" is really suitable for a big fool like Wu Ge who has a super aura but doesn't know anything.

But Wu Ge still had doubts - it was a ghost after all, and anyone would have a bit of a mental disorder. Therefore, after Jigong taught him the method of controlling and pulling a small aura, he refused to go.

"What's the matter, what else don't you understand?" asked Jigong.

Wu Ge scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and then said in the middle of the period:

"Yes...... But what if you meet a very strong ghost......? For example, is it a martial arts master turned ghost?"

"Don't be afraid. No matter how high the martial arts master is, it's useless if he has no body? Unless he is a master of internal boxing and has also practiced qi, but that level of qi can't hurt you or anything. ”

"......"

"But what?" Sun Wukong was already impatient to listen to on the side. "I'm afraid of that, I'm afraid, what else can you do? It's useless. The masters have taught you for a long time, why are you still not confident at all, huh?"

Lu Dongbin and Jigong stood aside and sighed. This kid is a little worse, but according to Sun Wukong's teachings, he will only become less and less confident - although they don't know anything about the "heart acupoints," but this is still understood.

But they didn't dare to intervene. "Sun Wukong's temper" is not in vain.

"Aren't you afraid that others will be stronger than you?" Sun Wukong became more and more angry the more he said, "Come here, I'll teach you a ruthless move." Hear clearly, 'Mi Ma shh......h

Lu Dongbin and Jigong's faces turned white.

"Brother Dao, it's just to catch a ghost, you don't need such a powerful spell, right?" said Ji Gong with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a 'Qi Relief Spell'!" Sun Wukong said angrily. "Okay, do as I say, a few times. This trick can deal with immortals, you are still afraid of a ghost......"
