Chapter 75 Another Explanation
Chapter 75 Another Explanation
It is very easy for a cultivator to find out the reputation of an individual in a certain place. In addition, Mangpan does not have much communication with the outside world, so Chu Tai easily got the reputation of Feiquan Divine Lord in this area.
It was unexpectedly good, the only problem was that his life had become very rhythmic in the past two years, and he would go home every day when the sun went down.
Even if it means helping out in other people's homes, as long as he can lend a little support, he is unwilling to do so.
'Must you be home before the sun sets?'
Chu Tai was also a little curious, so he hid outside the Wei family.
After the sun set, Chu Tai discovered that the two lanterns hanging on the back door of the Wei family suddenly lit up, emitting a faint green light.
This light is invisible to the naked eye and is a strange kind of Dharma light.
Chu Tai, who had just read the classics of Yin Jingzong, was shocked and immediately recognized the origin of the light.
'This is part of the ritual of Lingci saving the dead...'
"I remember that this method is to use compassionate thoughts to transform the lights of guidance, and inform the lonely ghosts in all directions that someone here is offering nectar to help the dead souls, and it also has a certain guiding effect. Could it be that Feiquan has modified it and turned it into some kind of deceptive magic to trick the dead souls and refine magic weapons?"
Chu Tai frowned slightly and waited for a while, then he saw a fire ghost breathing out fire coming towards him.
Although this ghost's body was charred black, it probably did not die in a fire. Instead, it fell into a land of fire after death and was born by breathing in and out fire. The ghost energy and fire energy in its body combined to form blood that looked like magma and flowed under its skin.
A slightly bigger movement could tear his skin, causing a little blood to drip onto the ground, leaving traces of burnt ash.
Chu Tai watched him walk in and took the opportunity to take a look inside the house. There was nothing special about it.
In addition, Chu Tai had observed the other party's vitality and inspiration from afar during the day when the other party was away, and there was no problem either. He couldn't help but think of going in to take a look.
After a while, another ghost came here. His body was incomplete, as if he had been killed by something. When he saw the light, he walked in in a daze.
Chu Tai looked inside again and saw that the fire ghost who had entered earlier was holding a bowl of water and drinking it slowly. The fire and burnt color on his body had decreased a lot.
When the third wave of ghosts appeared and walked inward, Chu Tai followed them in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a paper man leading the dead souls beside him inside.
At the very top was Lord Feiquan, who had occupied the physical body of Lord Mingxia, Wei Yuanzhu. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and was preparing some food.
A lot of clean water and pastries had been placed in front of him.
"Just take what you need, but finish it and don't waste it."
Halfway through his speech, Feiquan suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Chu Tai.
"I didn't expect you to come in like this? Aren't you afraid that I might set up an ambush here and kill you?"
"The Spiritual Mercy Rescue and Pull Out the Darkness and Light the Lamp Ceremony, the Ten Directions Response to the True Lord's Treasure Repentance, if you have the ability to harm others under the Spiritual Response of the Ten Directions True Lord, I will also admit it."
Chu Tai bowed to the portrait behind Feiquan God, which depicted the images of the ten True Gods worshipped by the Yin Jing Sect, namely, Jiuku, Jianxian, Puji, Miaoxing, Chaoming and Youzhao.
According to historical records, these ten True Lords reside in Daluo Heaven and are immortals from the upper realm. Each of them has the ability to save the souls of the dead. Therefore, they are depicted in portraits with compassion in their eyes and tolerance on their faces.
Under the influence of incense burning all around, spirits will appear and can resolve grievances and sins, allowing the souls of the dead here to be reborn in the underworld.
After standing up, Chu Tai looked at Lord Feiquan.
"You have a kind heart and are willing to feed the wild ghosts, so why do you do such evil things?" Upon hearing this, Feiquan Divine Lord continued to deal with the food in his hand and said self-deprecatingly, "I just want to have peace of mind. Besides, the things here are not given away for free. If they eat them, they have to be paid. If it weren't for them, how could the Ten Directions True Lord manifest spiritual responses?"
Chu Tai did not answer immediately after hearing this. He looked at the wandering ghosts that came in from behind, all of whom had incomplete shapes.
Most of them stay in the world for various reasons, but have nowhere to rely on and drift around.
Those who are luckier, like the fire ghost, can barely survive with the help of external energy, but they will be tortured at best and fall into the path of evil at worst.
Those who are unlucky gradually die out under the erosion of wind and rain and the attacks of the sun and moon.
What benefits can such an existence bring? At most, it can only contribute a wisp of negative energy.
Most likely, this Yin energy was condensed after the body was restored after eating here.
What use would it be for Lord Feiquan to take the vital energy that is so low in quality that it is difficult to purify?
As for the spiritual responses of the Ten Directions True Lords, if they did not have such compassion to save the dead souls, how could they have sent down their spiritual responses?
After all, this is just the manifestation of Feiquan's compassion.
Chu Tai told the other party his thoughts. Lord Feiquan stopped what he was doing and looked at him strangely.
"Didn't Mingxia explain this to you clearly?"
Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and told the other party about his communication with Mingxia Divine Lord. Upon hearing this, Feiquan Divine Lord sneered and said, "That's how he sees it! Boy, let me tell you a story too."
After saying this, Lord Feiquan started to tell the story without waiting for Chu Tai to answer.
"It's a very old story. About three hundred years ago, a silly boy was taken into a sect by an old Taoist priest to learn Taoism."
"That silly boy has average talent and is always slower than the people around him in learning anything, but the old Taoist doesn't care. He always teaches him patiently."
"The silly boy was able to endure loneliness. He did whatever the old Taoist said. More than a hundred years had passed since then."
"The silly boy has learned most of the old Taoist's methods and has made a name for himself."
"The old Taoist priest was very happy, and he always felt that he had someone to take over. The silly boy was also happy, and he felt that he had lived up to the old Taoist priest's teachings."
"But at this moment..."
Feiquan Divine Lord lowered his head, his tone becoming a little vague: "Two days of collision, the sect is gone, the old Taoist priest turned into a monster to save the fool, and begged the fool to kill him."
"The fool did as he was told. He killed the old Taoist priest. After leaving the sect, he wanted to forget the old Taoist priest, and he also didn't want the old Taoist priest's inheritance to be cut off. So he searched for a long time, trying to find a way to pass on the inheritance. Until one day..."
Lord Feiquan stretched out his hand, and the Yin energy gathered and turned into a small pond.
"The silly boy heard that someone wanted to use plague to prove his Taoism, and he just happened to come up with a way. As long as enough people died, the underworld and the human world would be briefly connected. Then he could build a Nine Springs Yin Pond as his own foundation, prove his Taoism, and continue on his way."
"The silly boy told his senior brother about this idea, but his senior brother thought that if he achieved enlightenment by taking advantage of the plague, he would become a puppet for the other party. But the silly boy didn't care, because this was his only chance."
Hearing this again, Chu Tai still couldn't help asking, "How many people had to die to build the Nine Springs Yin Pond? Do they deserve to die? Moreover, if the old Taoist priest knew that the fool killed so many people for the so-called inheritance, would he really be able to rest in peace?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Feiquan stared at Chu Tai and laughed out loud.
"It seems that my senior brother really didn't explain it to you clearly. Do you know who wants to spread the plague? It's Hanba, who caused drought in the two countries many years ago. He is a being with a cultivation level close to the fourth rank. How can we stop him from doing anything? Instead of everyone dying, it's better for me to intervene. Maybe some of them can survive..."
