Chapter 237 The Merit of Saving All Living Beings
Cheng Xingzuo, who never scolded anyone, started to scold: "Get out of here, or I will be rude!"
Seeing Cheng Xingzuo angry, the ghosts all knelt down: "Master Cheng, we heard that you wanted to find a home for us lonely ghosts who have nowhere to go, so we came to you.
We wanted to marry your daughter in your yard, but it was full of ghosts. We had no choice but to come to you."
Cheng Xingzuo felt a knot in his chest. What does it mean that the house is full of ghosts?
Cheng Xingzuo comforted himself that it must not be what he thought!
“Yes, we went there late, and your kid had already been occupied by the ghosts who arrived earlier!”
“Master Cheng, you have a very Yin fate, we feel safe around you!”
The ghosts kept talking, and Cheng Xingzuo wanted to cry: You are safe, but I am almost scared to death!
He didn’t want to be entangled by ghosts, so he took out a large stack of talismans in his arms and said angrily: “All of you stay away from me, otherwise, once the soul-transforming talisman comes out, you will surely be reduced to ashes!”
Some ghosts were frightened and slowly retreated, while more ghosts stood there indifferently.
One ghost even took a few steps forward and said, "Master Cheng, we have been wandering in this world for a long time. We have forgotten where we came from and where we are going. As ghosts, we cannot even die. Since Master Cheng is unwilling to help, please destroy me. I have had enough!"
Many ghosts also echoed, "Me too. Such a life is simply worse than death. Please give me a quick death, Master Cheng!"
Cheng Xingzuo was stunned. What is this? It all depends on him.
With the soul-transforming talisman taught by Su Xiaoxiao, it is not a problem to get rid of these ghosts. However, he can't do this!
Although they are ghosts, they have not done anything to harm the world. Cheng Xingzuo has no reason to kill them.
Cheng Xingzuo silently took back the talisman. Since he couldn't get out, he would use magic to defeat magic.
Seeing that there was no one around, Cheng Xingzuo suddenly burst into tears:
"Why are you following me? I can't help you. I'm just a monk who can't learn how to exorcise demons and catch ghosts no matter how hard he tries!"
The ghosts showed obvious disappointment on their faces: "But you clearly promised the ghosts in your house that you would take good care of them. It turns out that you are a liar, just like others, you don't take us seriously!"
The ghosts became excited as they spoke, and slowly approached Cheng Xingzuo with angry eyes. It seemed as if they wanted to tear Cheng Xingzuo apart and eat him!
Cheng Xingzuo's little apprentice pulled his sleeve tightly and said, "Master, they seem angry!"
Cheng Xingzuo trembled and said, "Master is not blind, I can see it!"
"Then what should we do?" the little apprentice asked. "I think they look like they want to eat people!"
Cheng Xingzuo had to give in and said, "I did say that, and I also want to help them. Originally, I wanted to ask Princess Anle to find a way for me to settle them down, but Princess Anle is still in a coma, what can I do!"
"Princess Anle?" When the ghosts heard this, they couldn't help but shudder, their faces full of fear!
Cheng Xingzuo asked, "You also know Princess Anle? Why don't you go directly to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and when Princess Anle wakes up, you go to ask her!"
It's not that Cheng Xingzuo is not righteous, he has to lead these lonely ghosts to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it's really that he has no other way.
Princess Anle is not afraid of monsters, she must have a way to deal with a mere wild ghost.
Unexpectedly, the ghosts were more frightened than seeing a ghost: "No, no, Princess Anle is blessed by divine light. Let alone going to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, even if we are ten miles away from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, we are trembling!"
Cheng Xingzuo was overjoyed when he heard it. In this case, wouldn't it be a permanent solution to settle down near the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion?
But before he could be happy, he was awakened by a bucket of cold water from reality.
Near the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, the people living there are either kings or generals. He is an orphan-born warden. Even if he sells himself, he can't buy an inch of land there.
The house he lives in now was passed down to him by his master!
Cheng Xingzuo sighed helplessly and said, "I really can't help you. Go back and tell me that I can't help those people in the house, no, those ghosts!"
Cheng Xingzuo made up his mind to drive those ghosts out today no matter what.
Suddenly, a childish voice called him, "Master Cheng, please help us! I have only been a human for three years, but I have been a ghost for hundreds of years. My mother is still waiting for me to find her!"
"Yes, help us, I know you are a good person, you can't even bear to hurt a spider!"
Cheng Xingzuo looked at the two little ghosts in front of him, and somehow, he couldn't bear it.
But he really couldn't do anything!
"It's not that I don't want to help you, I really can't do anything!"
He touched his wallet and said with determination: "I don't have much savings, but I can take out all my money and ask a magician to help you reincarnate. Otherwise, I can't do anything else!"
A ghost sighed and said: "We are all wandering ghosts who have been wandering in the world for hundreds of years. The usual rituals of salvation will not work at all!"
Cheng Xingzuo was even more discouraged: "In that case, why are you still pestering me? I can't help you anymore!"
Someone reminded: "You can ask Princess Anle for help. Princess Anle has merits and magic powers that ordinary people don't have. She must be able to save us!"
Cheng Xingzuo just felt a headache. Princess Anle was only three years old. If he went to her house and asked Princess Anle to help him settle the wandering ghosts, would he be beaten to death by Su Changhe!
"Master Cheng, we won't make it difficult for you. With the extreme yin energy in you, it's good for us to gather around you!"
"No, not at all!" Cheng Xingzuo shook his head.
A ghost who looked very knowledgeable asked, "Master Cheng, do you know why your cultivation has not made any progress in these years?"
Cheng Xingzuo was touched in the sore spot and stopped talking.
When he was young, he was gifted and could learn everything his master taught him.
Gradually, it seemed that he reached the so-called bottleneck period, and it was difficult for him to make a breakthrough in what he had learned.
Especially after his master passed away, his cultivation stagnated.
Why else could this be? Because he had run out of ideas!
Seeing Cheng Xingzuo didn't say anything, the ghost continued, "Because what you have learned is just rote memorization, you have learned the theory, but you have not realized the true meaning of cultivation!"
Cheng Xingzuo had to admit that the ghost
's words made sense. He asked back, "Then what do you think is the injection for cultivation?"
The ghost smiled faintly and said, "The true meaning of cultivation is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and to save all living beings!
Master Cheng has a compassionate heart, but what he lacks is the merit of saving all living beings!"
