"This jade pendant naturally has a suppressive effect on evil spirits, and the death of evil spirits seems to be like delicious food to it. So, in order to completely repair this jade pendant, you must find various evil spirits and let the jade pendant absorb them. Only in this way can it be completely repaired."
Grandpa said a lot in one breath, but he didn't speak very quickly.
I wrote down everything they said, but I'm not entirely sure what exactly this evil energy is.
Grandpa gently patted my head and said irritably, "I told you to learn some Taoist knowledge with me, but you wouldn't. Now that you need it, you don't know anything."
Hearing my grandfather say this, I felt a little helpless. It turned out that my grandfather had indeed taught me some things when I was little, but I never thought that I would actually use them later! You know, my grandfather was called an old charlatan because he was a geomancer, and that's why people my age would talk behind my back. If I had really learned those things back then, my childhood would probably have been even more unpleasant.
Chapter Fifty-Four: Ugly as hell
Besides, I used to think that my grandfather's rituals were always mysterious and strange, and that they looked awful and embarrassing, so I didn't want to learn them.
But now it seems that if I had learned something from my grandfather, I probably wouldn't be so useless. I smiled to myself, feeling a little self-deprecating.
Grandpa didn't say much, but slowly explained to me about yin energy.
Yin energy is the opposite of "yang energy".
Originating from the Book of Changes (I Ching), it is a term from the Yin-Yang theory of ancient Yin-Yang schools, and later permeated into religion, philosophy, medicine, calendar, calligraphy, architecture, geomancy, fortune telling, and so on.
It generally refers to one of the two opposites of their things.
In the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Yin energy corresponds to Yang energy.
Yin and Yang are contradictory opposites, yet they are also a unified whole.
Yin and Yang are generally understood to have four main elements: Yin and Yang opposition, Yin and Yang transformation, Yin and Yang waxing and waning, and Yin and Yang interdependence.
In terms of function and matter, Yin Qi refers to matter; in terms of the function of the internal organs, the Qi of the five internal organs is Yin Qi; in terms of the Qi of Ying and Wei, the Ying Qi is Yin Qi; in terms of the direction and nature of movement, the internal, downward, inhibiting, weakening, and heavy Qi is Yin Qi.
When I heard Grandpa's explanation, I almost went completely blank. Although I understood it, I still didn't quite get it.
Grandpa wasn't angry, nor did he hit my blockhead directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "What I'm telling you is about Yin energy. Yin evil energy is much simpler; it's just the aura carried by those extremely Yin and evil ghosts."
Hearing this, I finally understood. So this is what they mean by the origin of evil spirits. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes. It seems I'll have to deal with ghosts and spirits a lot in the future.
Thinking this, I felt a little uneasy, but I quickly calmed down. Since I had made up my mind to become stronger, what did some evil spirits matter?
"So from now on I have to go catch ghosts and let the jade pendant absorb their evil energy, right?" Grandpa shook his head. "No, it's not necessary to catch ghosts. Doing good deeds and accumulating good karma is also fine. Besides, not all ghosts necessarily have evil energy. Just as people have good and evil, ghosts also have good and bad. Only the kind of fierce ghosts that bring disaster to the world have evil energy."
Are there good ghosts? I couldn't help but doubt Grandpa's statement. Although I hadn't seen many ghosts, only a few so far, were there really good ghosts? Was Lin Fang one? She just harbored resentment towards her boyfriend, but if she had resentment, then she must be considered a vengeful ghost, right? Grandpa didn't explain it to me directly, but instead said, "Good and evil in this world are not fixed. You have to rely on your own abilities to understand these things and have your own perception! Although it's said that those who came before plant trees so that those who come after can enjoy the shade, those who came before weren't necessarily right. You have to have your own thoughts about how you see this world."
After listening to Grandpa's words, I nodded thoughtfully.
Although I still don't quite understand what Grandpa said, I always feel that what he said makes sense. People's hearts are not even able to distinguish between good and evil, and they can also generalize from limited information. However, I still need to see these things with my own eyes to understand them.
Next, I asked my grandfather some questions about my coma, but he didn't go into details. He only gave a general overview of the outcome and didn't elaborate on the process.
Although what Grandpa said was roughly the same as what I guessed, sure enough, the ghostly hand took the opportunity to try to seize my body, and even wanted to use my body to complete the process of turning a human into a ghost. This reminded me of the skinny man on the train, except that unlike him, he was doing it willingly, while I was doing it under the control of the ghostly hand.
I had heard Shi Long and the others talk about the boundary between humans and ghosts before, but it really terrified me. This time, it almost happened to me. Moreover, Shi Long said that once you complete the transformation from human to ghost, you will completely lose your humanity.
Grandpa didn't seem to care much, talking about it casually, but I could imagine how dangerous it was. You know, that skinny man was already so strong even though he was just mentally disturbed and hadn't fully transformed into a ghost.
Although I don't know what the ghostly hand on my body is, it's definitely not an ordinary ghost. If it successfully transforms into a ghost, the danger that Grandpa and Yanling will face is self-evident, which makes me feel a sense of lingering fear.
Later, when my grandfather mentioned that inexplicable aura that seemed to carry a murderous intent towards me, I began to have some doubts again.
At this moment, Grandpa said again, "Although that aura is powerful, it doesn't seem to be determined to kill you. It's more like it's fighting with that Daoist Lu Chen, forcing Lu Chen to do something."
