It was night, the mountain wind was howling, and I rolled up my robes to hunt. I stood alone on the mountain top in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, my eyes were slightly closed, and there was a faint silver light all over my body, which swelled and shrank with my breathing.

A farce allowed him to see through the good and evil of human nature, and he further improved his cultivation.

Let’s talk about the other members of the government, Mr. Hou.

As he said, this marquis was very smart when he was young, and he knew the meaning of poetry before he was even a weak man. He excelled in examinations, advanced in the examinations, and was praised by people at that time. He was quite talented and well-known.

However, after he became an official, he did not uphold justice, overcome selfish desires, and become the official of Qingtian Parents.

Above, he forms cliques for personal gain, colludes with high-ranking officials, exchanges gold and silver for the protection of powerful ministers, ignores the law, and bullies one party; below, he preys on the common people, plunders the people's fat and anointing, and makes money wantonly, causing complaints and making the common people miserable.

Moreover, he was of a licentious nature. During his tenure, he often raped women of the people and forced them into marriage. Twelve of the seventeen wives and concubines in the mansion were obtained in this way.

It may be the result of good fortune and misfortune, but the retribution is not good. This Hou Yuan has been an official for more than thirty years. Although he has many wives and concubines and has many affairs in bed, he has never given birth to a son or a daughter.

During this period, I also visited famous doctors and took countless prescriptions, but in the end, I couldn't get any results. Therefore, I became more and more worried, fearing that my incense would be cut off.

When he resigned from office and returned home, he began to do good deeds, whether he gave porridge to people in need, or helped the weak and the poor. This was not a discovery of conscience, but an attempt to accumulate negative virtue through good deeds, gain forgiveness from God, and keep the incense alive.

In addition, the funds for doing good deeds are only a drop in the bucket compared to his tens of thousands of family wealth, which is insignificant at all. Therefore, even though he regards wealth as his life, he is willing to do it.

During this "Hongmen Banquet", when he was over sixty years old and was being threatened by evil spirits, and when he was feeling disheartened, he suddenly saw the extraordinary and extraordinary beauty of a "true immortal", which made him jealous and greedy.

So he secretly united with the powerful men in the green forest, held a banquet, and tried to find a way to immortality. If their efforts failed, they took it by force with weapons.

It can be said that greed and evil thoughts are deep-rooted, and selfish desires are hard to change. On the surface, he looks like a kind and charitable person, but in fact he is a vicious and cruel person.

Let’s talk about the three evil spirits in the house, the Lin family.

There is a saying in the world that those who speak cleverly are 70% true and 30% false. However, what Lin Qian said is nine out of ten, all false. It is really a bunch of lies!

This man is not the cavalry general of the Jinfeng Camp of the Chen Kingdom, but a small captain of Qingguo County. He has been superstitious about ghosts and gods since he was a child. He often talks nonsense and behaves absurdly and crazy. When asked, he said he is possessed by ghosts and gods.

He joined the army, and because of his bravery and outstanding military achievements, he was promoted to a brave cavalry general. However, because he spread the theory of ghosts and gods and disturbed the morale of the army, he was demoted to a patrol captain.

His demotion did not make him repent. Instead, he intensified his efforts and even formed a cult to worship ghosts. Many of his soldiers became followers of the cult, which destabilized the morale of the army.

In the end, the general became furious and dismissed him from all military duties, gave him a fifty-fifty stick, and was expelled from the military, never to be reinstated.

Who would have thought that after leaving the military camp, he would no longer have any jurisdiction, but instead he became even more obsessed with it, lingering in the barren mountain cemetery all day long, chanting, acting crazy, and acting like a madman.

Xu Shi drank and pecked, and found his destiny. In the year of his establishment, he found the strange book "Guigu Zhi" among the ruins of the deserted village.

This book only has more than a thousand words, but it records the ways of ghosts and ghost cultivation in detail. It is really a strange book on ghosts and ghosts.

Lin Qian found it, and as if he had found a treasure, he immediately read it word by word in detail and stayed up all night.

One day and night later, according to the instructions in the book, I found a place with deep yin energy, practiced hard in seclusion, and achieved some success for more than twenty years.

However, the physical body is weak but the soul is strong. It can leave the body, capture objects, change shape, and even travel hundreds of miles at night, and can return immediately with thoughts. This is the first creation of the Yin God.

Then he came out of seclusion and established the Jiyin Shen sect, used ghost methods to fool the people, recruited followers, and proclaimed himself the leader of the religion, calling him Master Jiyin.

When this sect was prosperous, it had more than 10,000 followers and spread throughout Qingguo prefectures and prefectures. It stirred up evil and caused misfortune to the people. Even the government was helpless.

Later he was bumped into by a traveling Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest has a chivalrous spirit and has some means of subduing demons. He managed to reach the Jiyin Sect's main altar with just one person. A single talisman almost caused Lin Qian's Yin Shen to nearly collapse and he had to escape from his body.

After the leader of the culprit was eliminated, the members of the sect dispersed like hozens. The various state governments immediately sent out troops to uproot the sect. The remnants of the sect fled in all directions. Once again, they gradually disappeared from the public.

Seeing that the situation was over, and fearing that he would encounter someone with supernatural powers again, Lin Qian thought over and over again, so he chose a small town, used the body of a Yin god to seize the body of a farmer, and secretly used secret methods to train his wife and daughter into Yin puppets for him to drive.

The so-called Yin Puppet's body dies but its soul remains. It has no thought, no awareness, and its behavior, life, death, and disillusionment all depend on its owner's thoughts. When necessary, it can be converted into pure Yin energy to feed its owner.

And this town happens to be Anhe Town.

The reason why he went to the Marquis Mansion to practice the method was that Lin Qian's cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and another shadow puppet could help his ghost body solidify and reveal itself in the daytime.

However, this old man Hou has many external desires, is greedy for life and is afraid of death, and is very easy to control, so he is actually the best choice.

The previous "haunting" was actually a method of refining the Yin Puppet, aiming to stimulate the seven emotions and six desires of the human body, thereby stripping them off and making the soul pure.

This is what Hepan told Lin Qian five days ago when he was about to lose his soul under the scorching sun on the top of the mountain.

In order to verify the authenticity of what he said, Yuan and Qing traveled more than a hundred miles in five days to search and investigate. As a result, they not only found the strange book "Guigu Zhi", which confirmed that what he said was true, but also learned about the life of Nahou Yuanwai.

.

Later, when I killed ghosts with a sword, I also learned something from this book.

As for Qin Shujian, he got into the game by mistake.

Although he was somewhat vain, he had a pure heart and everything he said was true. Moreover, the jade tube he presented actually contained a map of the Jingtian Sect's jurisdiction.

With this map, it becomes more possible for the Yuan and Qing Dynasties to return to their clan.

...

"I think in this mortal world, everyone is like this." Yuan Qing thought in his heart: "The so-called good and evil in the human heart are just like the water in the pond. When the water is clear, there are no fish. Therefore, in this world, there is no distinction between pure and turbid.

A puddle of muddy water. At the beginning of my practice, I took pill pills, took medicinal baths, meditated and practiced Qi, and my body was clean. After building the foundation, I asked about good and evil, experienced life and death, slayed evil spirits with the sword, and gained enlightenment in my mind. To this day

, I am getting better and better, but I am becoming more and more incompatible with this world. Gratitude, resentment, and hatred are all obstacles in my way. What can I do? Do I really want to be heartless and cut off my sex, and be a heartless and desireless person?"

Thinking of this, the past events emerged one by one, and the love was so true that it became more and more difficult for the young man to make a decision.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, but when I saw the flower spirit for the first time, thousands of flowers bloomed, and I sacrificed the essence of the flowers and leaves to cast its Dharma body.

"Yes, why should I cut off the chaos of this mortal world? I will leave this mortal world. I will cut off the filthiness of this mortal world. Everything is my true nature and I will be pure on my own!"

As soon as a thought occurs, the Niwan Palace suddenly shines brightly, the sword shadow in the Sea of ​​​​Consciousness shines brightly, and the Star Pearl reappears!

As the star beads appear, the illusion also returns, changing the warmth and warmth of human relationships, gathering and separation, and it is still the life of a young man.

However, as soon as I saw the star beads spinning lightly, casting down the misty starlight, like yarn and mist, all the illusions disappeared like snow meeting the spring sun.

As a result, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and his sea of ​​consciousness became brighter. When he reached the depths of the spiritual platform, a ray of light erupted, transforming into a beautiful figure of a young girl, with a clear face and spring-like eyebrows.

The starlight suddenly stopped here, and the star beads disappeared immediately. The young man opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and looked at the cold moonlight with an inexplicable expression.

...

To the east of the mainland, there are mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, cutting across one side like a natural chasm, which is called the end.

The Zhongshan Mountain is extremely steep and dangerous, the most dangerous in the world. The peaks in it are solitary and independent, towering like sharp swords, piercing into the clouds.

The highest among them is called the Extreme; because of its extreme height, the ice and snow will not melt for ten thousand years, so it is also called Guanghan.

At the top of this vast cold place, where heavy snow falls, there is a wooden house built. In front of the wooden house is a pool of water, and a weeping willow tree is planted beside the pool.

But I see that the houses are always new and there is no snow on them; the water in the pond is always flowing and there is no ice floating on it; the weeping willows are always green and verdant.

There is a three-foot square table under the willow tree. There is a person sitting in front of the table. He is dressed in a green shirt, his face is like solid ice, his eyes are like deep water, and he is drinking genuine tea leisurely.

The moment he walked out of the way, his expression changed. Suddenly, the water in the pool was still, the cold wind stopped, the flying snow hovered, and the sky and the earth became clear.

He stopped his cup and stood up, raised his hand to make a virtual stroke, and saw a dark gap opening in the ripples, like brocade, in the void!

His expression remained as usual, he took one step forward and disappeared; the cracks closed, and in a moment they were healed as before.

Then, the wind and snow started again. In just a short moment, the snow covered the roofs, the fishing withered, and the pond water turned into ice.

...

To the west of Luzhou, among the vast mountains, there is a cave.

The cave is hidden in a secluded place with winding paths. Inside, the sky is high and the sky is high, with thousands of miles of wilderness and thousands of acres of fertile farmland.

At the end of the wilderness, there is a cliff with a waterfall hanging above and a deep pool below. Not far from the deep pool, in front of a thatched house, two people are playing chess.

One person is about thirty years old, wearing a square scarf and a mysterious robe, it is Zhu Mo, holding a black hand; the other person looks like

He is more than seventy years old, wearing cloth clothes and wearing mango shoes. He is shriveled and thin, his hair is gray and white, and he uses dead wood as a hairpin. He has his hair tied up in a bun randomly.

On the chessboard, black and white are intertwined, with no distinction between up and down, and it is difficult to distinguish; the red ink stone suddenly pauses when it is placed, and at the same time, black and white lights flash in the eyes.

Seeing the opportunity, the old man used his fingers to pop out an invisible finger force and landed on it, just pushing it to the side.

Zhu Mo came back to his senses, smiled and cursed: "You old fool, you are cheating again."

The old man didn't take it seriously and replied with a smile: "Two pots of human life."

Hearing this, Zhu Mo surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll give you two jugs of broken wine. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, the black and white mysterious light started to form, and it turned into a fish, then disappeared in a flash.

The old man said nothing, stood up with his hands behind his back, and wandered back to the thatched cottage.

...

More than ten days later.

Yuan Qing put away the Yun Yi Bead and dropped it on the forest path.

Since leaving Anhe Town, he followed the map's guidance and flew all the way southeast to the Jingtian Sect, hoping to find a way to return to the sect.

Today happens to be a small town in front of us, so it’s a good time to drink a pot of turbid wine and take a rest.

"Pingshui Tower," the young man said to himself after looking at the restaurant's archway, "it's a good name."

As soon as I entered the store, I was greeted by a child with a smile on his face, a humble attitude, and he was enthusiastic.

"Please come in, guest officer!"

Yuan Qing nodded and chose to sit by the window as usual. However, the next moment, a man in a mysterious robe entered the store and sat beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in green clothes entered the inner room and sat directly opposite him.

The young man in green clothes looked at Yuan Qing silently, his face as cold as frost; the man in black robe looked at the young man in green clothes, then looked at Yuan Qing, with a playful look on his face.

As for Yuan Qing, when the two appeared, he was shocked to feel an invisible pressure coming on him, so that he could not move his body, could not speak, and even the movement of his spiritual breath was almost stagnant.

After a while, the young man in green snorted coldly and walked out.
