There was a creak! The door behind him opened!
An old man in cotton-padded clothes walked out with a cane. The two servants immediately stepped aside.
The old man also caught a glimpse of Lin Jue and Luo Monk walking back, as well as the ghosts and remnant souls behind them.
But although he was physically weak and not as good as his servant, his courage was infinitely greater than that of his servant. He was not afraid at all when he saw this scene. Instead, he bowed down to the remnants of the ghosts behind them and said, "Old man, please pay me money."
You heroes came to help, but I didn’t want to harm the lives of these heroes. I’m really ashamed of you...
The remnant soul naturally had no reaction.
On the other hand, the ghost named Xu accepted it calmly and just said:
"Get up, you are dead. This is what we eat. Whatever you do, just give us a few more sticks of incense and repair the tomb." "That's definitely the case!"
The old man stood up shakily on crutches, and then looked at the two people in front of him.
I saw the Taoist looking calm, the warrior holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other. His clothes were somewhat tattered and stained with black blood. He couldn't help but ask: "Are Mr. Luo and Zhenren injured?"
"It's not much of an injury, Mr. Yang can rest assured. The black zombies should have been the source of unrest in the village before. Now they have been eliminated. If there is no other source of zombies in the village, or if they cause trouble again, there will be no chance of them coming again in the future.
There will be zombies again." Luo Monk said, pointing to Lin Jue, "Mr. Yang must thank Taoist Lin for his help."
"My ancestors, the people of Yangjia Village and Runze County, have thanked Master Lin. Please accept my courtesy." "It is as it should be, so there is no need to be more polite."
"I also thank Mr. Luo."
"You don't need to say thank you for accepting money to do things."
While everyone was talking, they saw the ghost named Xu standing nearby, as if he had no intention of leaving. "Mr. Xu..."
The old man couldn't help but look at him again, thinking that he might have some other wishes that he couldn't express, so he first asked the two servants who were both scared and surprised to go back to the house, closed the door again, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, who are you?"
Is there any unfulfilled wish left?”
But I heard the ghost surnamed Xu reply: "Xu has lost his parents since he was a child, and his wife and children were eaten by monsters when he was young. Now he is alone, with only this life and death blood feud. How can he have any wishes?" "In this case, now this is
The zombies have been eliminated by Master Lin and Duke Luo, and Duke Xu has avenged his blood revenge, so he left early and rest in peace."
"The blood revenge has been avenged, but there is something else behind the blood revenge." "What?"
"Didn't Mr. Yang say that there is still something fishy about this matter?" The ghost surnamed Xu said and couldn't help snorting coldly. He seemed to be a bit of a rogue, "Besides, even if I leave, where can I go? I killed Mrs. Nie before I died.
Seriously, even if I go to the underworld, I'm afraid I won't have a good life, so I might as well be a ghost here and be more comfortable."
"But I heard that new ghosts are bigger and old ghosts are smaller. Even if Xu Gong becomes a ghost, his life will be burned away by the sun and the moon." "Who did you listen to?"
"I heard what others said. Xu Gong thought, if you can live as a ghost for a long time, then why have you never seen a ghost from a thousand years ago?" The old man said with a trembling voice, thinking for his own sake, "Mr. Xu thinks so, maybe it's just
Because I have just become a ghost and have not yet experienced the suffering of a lonely ghost. If I don’t rest in peace, my days of suffering will be long.”
"So what's the problem?"
The ghost surnamed Xu became a little impatient when he heard his refutation, and gradually showed a sinister look. The old man was immediately shocked.
Luo Monk also frowned, feeling something was wrong.
"No, although Mr. Xu has fulfilled his wish, but looking at him like this, I am afraid that he is unwilling to die in vain and has become stubborn." After all, the old man lived a long life and was well-informed, so he said immediately. Luo Monk was also interested in the surname Xu.
The ghost advised:
"Brother Xu, you and I are walking around the world, relying on the troubled goblins and ghosts for food. How could we not know how miserable the wandering ghosts in this world are? Loneliness can make people crazy, and it can also make ghosts become possessed." "This.
.”
The ghost named Xu had full admiration and respect for Monk Luo. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but retract his fierce look and hesitate.
"Ghosts should belong to the underworld. If Brother Xu insists on staying in the human world, Luo will not dare to stop him. However, in the end, Brother Xu will only have two options: either he will gradually wear away the vicissitudes of life in the sun, moon, wind and frost, and become like a candle in the wild.
The little ghosts who spend their time in loneliness will turn into evil ghosts and cause chaos everywhere, becoming like the ghosts that Brother Xu once killed."
"..."
The ghost surnamed Xu looked stunned, as if he had figured it out, and then said: "It's very simple for me to rest in peace. I need to ask you for a favor." "Speak frankly!"
"Just say it, Mr. Xu! I will definitely do it!"
The ghost surnamed Xu hesitated for a moment and then said: "After all, I killed too much during my lifetime and died in vain. It is said that both of them will be punished in the underworld, so I don't dare to go to the underworld. You must find someone with great virtues."
And if a person with great cultivation can practice salvation for me, then I can go home with peace of mind."
This request is quite reasonable.
It's just an expert who has both great virtue and great cultivation. It's hard to find even though it's easy to find.
It’s hard to find but easy to find.
Monk Luo and the old man thought in their hearts, and turned their heads at the same time to look at the young Taoist wearing gray robes beside them. Even the ghost named Xu also looked over.
Even the junior sister and the fox turned to look at him.
"Um?"
Lin Jue couldn't help but be startled: "What do you three want me to do?" "Can Taoist Master..."
"Three of you don't know something. Although I am a Taoist, I only practice spiritual methods. I am far from being said to have great virtues or cultivation. I don't know how to do things, chant sutras, and achieve salvation. I only have some skills in subduing demons and demons.
It’s just a cleverly changed magical ability.”
Lin Jue explained for them. "This..." Both of them were stunned.
The ghost named Xu also looked disappointed.
When Lin Jue saw this, he finally couldn't bear it. He looked at the ghost named Xu and said again:
"But when I was on the mountain, I also heard about the rules of the underworld: Although there is a saying that if you kill too much, you will be punished, but you have to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although there is also a saying that you will be punished if you die in vain, but if you
It’s okay to commit suicide over a trivial matter for no reason. The purpose is also to make people respect their own lives and act cautiously.”
"really?"
"Xu Gong thought to himself, ghosts were once human beings. Wouldn't they stop following the principles of life when they become ghosts? In the same way, if someone kills demons and kills them, it is deemed that the killing is too serious, because humans are trying to protect one side.
What’s the point of being sentenced to death if you are killed by a demon?”
Lin Jue said for a while:
"Mr. Xu was also a free and easy man, so why did he fall into such stubbornness? Even if he committed some crimes during his lifetime, as long as he lives up to his true feelings, what is there to fear?" The ghost surnamed Xu had seen him casting spells to eliminate demons, and he had already regarded him as a ghost.
I have met the immortal master, respect him quite a lot, and naturally believe in his words.
And these words also spoke to his heart. Seeing this, Lin Jue added:
"What's more, Xu Gong even dared to face the black zombie. In order to keep his promise and eliminate the demon, he would not retreat until death. Why wouldn't he dare to go to the underworld?" The ghost surnamed Xu thought thoughtfully and gradually showed a look of surprise.
Then he gave him a solemn salute. He turned around and his figure slowly disappeared. Only then did the two people around him look at Lin Jue.
"The Taoist Master also said that he wouldn't be able to be saved?" Luo Monk said. "Indeed, he won't be." Lin Jue said truthfully.
"I won't be saved, but Sheng will be saved." Luo Monk said with a smile.
"This is the truth in the scriptures about salvation." The old man couldn't help but sigh, "But the Taoist priest himself has to have outstanding virtues and be convincing, so that these words can reach Mr. Xu's heart." "It's just accidental.
.”
"What about these people?"
The old man looked at the remaining souls who had followed them back. Among them were four warriors and five captives.
"These are the remnant souls created by obsession. Perhaps they are unwilling to die in vain, or perhaps for other reasons. They have not become ghosts, but they do not want to leave." Lin Jue explained to them, "They are more difficult to communicate with than ghosts, and they are also difficult to communicate with.
We cannot go to the underworld and live like ghosts. Only by knowing what unresolved obsessions they have, maybe we can let them rest in peace."
"I don't know either. These four heroes and I have known each other not long ago." Luo Monk said to him, "But in the past few years, there have been many demons and ghosts in Qinzhou causing trouble and killing many people. In these years, carrying a knife and a sword
Those heroes who dare to make a living by relying on these monsters and monsters, in addition to their martial arts skills, most of them also have some hatred and resentment to support them."
He paused for a moment:
"These catchers are the children of Yangjia Village, so they dare to come here to do duty. Nowadays, there are ten to five or six people in the village. Maybe they want to see if their family members are still there." When the old man heard this, he immediately went there.
In the house.
Not long after, someone came out.
Someone also went to the courtyard of another large household to call for help. Gradually there were a few cries in the courtyard.
"Several heroes, now that the evil things in the village have been eliminated, the poisonous stones will be dried and the patients in the village will be cured, so let's leave." Lin Jue tried to persuade them. The two trappers slowly disappeared.
.
The remaining four heroes and three trappers were unwilling to leave, their figures swaying in the cold night. Luo Monk and the old man had no choice but to look at Lin Jue.
"If you guys want to rest in peace, please rest in peace. If you really don't want to rest in peace, you can leave. This world is so big, it has its own place to go." Lin Jue said sincerely, "If you don't want to rest in peace, you don't want to rest in peace."
If you leave and dissipate in this world, if you have a heart to eliminate demons, you can follow me, and from now on, help me conquer demons, drive out evil, and correct people."
Luo Monk was a little surprised and turned to look at him.
But he saw that the obsession of the seven remaining souls was really moving, as if this was their wish. Then Lin Jue took out a small porcelain bottle.
"If you want, you can enter the bottle!" "Swift..."
Several residual soul obsessions came one after another and entered the bottle. "I will definitely live up to you!"
Lin Jueru said this and capped the bottle.
At this time, the courtyard was considered clean again.
Luo Monk and the old man looked quite surprised. Only Junior Sister and Fox were used to it. One leaned against the wall and stared at them, while the other sat on the ground and scratched his head with his hind feet.
"It's late at night, let's go back and have a rest." Lin Jue said, looking at the old man, "Is there any family in the village that has a vacant house? Can you let my two junior sisters stay for a few nights?" How could the old man not know?
What he meant.
"The yard opposite is the yard of the old cousin's house. His house is dead and the door is not locked. If the Taoist priest doesn't mind, just live there." "The old gentleman is a little timid, but don't worry anymore.
"
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
"By the way, the buffalo in the village helped me out at night, so it was injured, which can be regarded as a contribution to the village. Old gentleman, please take more care of it." "Of course."
The old man saluted him sincerely.
Lin Jue and his junior sister bowed in return and went out. The moonlight was thin and cold, and the village was extremely quiet.
There is a courtyard opposite, and the door is indeed unlocked.
The two senior brothers and sisters went in and found a room each. Lin Jue gave the night light to the younger junior sister, while he relied on the Fuyao to stay alert. He found a couch and lay down, thinking in his mind.
Although the black zombie tonight is powerful, it is not as good as the black bear spirit back then. Lin Jue has not yet taken the Shenxing Pill and has not dealt with it. In addition, he is no longer what he used to be at this time, so he is not too worried.
fluctuation.
It's just that there are seven more heroes willing to follow, which is something worthy of joy and honor. In addition to the inner emotions, the actual gains are also extraordinary.
The seven heroes have exceeded the total number of soldiers he has at this time. The four martial arts masters in the middle are expected to be good at martial arts.
There are also three captives, but I don't know how good they are in martial arts. However, for the Bean Soldier spell, it is naturally a good thing that the remnant soul was good at fighting during his lifetime, but the impact is not that big.
First of all, the bean soldiers themselves are not as flexible as real people, and they cannot perform many movements. After becoming a remnant soul, most of their skills and experience during life will be lost, and the bonus of martial arts will also be weakened.
Secondly, the reason why Jianghu warriors are so powerful is not only their martial arts, but also their painstakingly polished strength. But after becoming a bean soldier, they have already changed their bodies. How powerful this body is only depends on Lin Jue's sacrifice, and
It does not depend on the strength during life.
Therefore, the most important thing is character.
Martial arts must be acquired, and the higher the better, but there is no need to be too persistent. On the contrary, what gives Lin Jue a headache is——
Where should I find these spiritual trees?
There was still half of the Lizu Muxin that I got at that time, but I could still make two bean soldiers. Lin Jue had even carved out the outlines, and the weapons and armor were ready. It was very simple to make, but it was still not enough.
Five people. Do you want to use this wood just obtained from Kuze County?
But although this wood has aura, it has not become a spirit after all. It can be used to make bean soldiers, but compared to the previous Lizu Muxin, Danguo wood is much worse. Moreover, the purlin wood has other uses.
Lin Jue also planned to use it to refine the Giant Spirit Pill and make bean soldiers, which was neither suitable nor wasteful. "Alas..."
