Chapter 1130 The Returnee's Notes 204
Xie Li nodded. "According to our ancestors' records, there was a village with the surname Tian. This must be the place."
The Xie family ancestors couldn't bear it, so they had an old man stuff the child into a donkey's belly. Perhaps in time, this would transfer the sins, allowing the child to be reborn.
Actually, the Xie ancestors originally wanted to send the old man away first, but the old man refused. He wanted to stay with the children and gather the souls of the villagers who were still alive.
We will ask the Xie ancestors to perform the ritual at that time.
He couldn't let the villagers become wandering ghosts, because their entire village, along with the surrounding villages and the people of Qing Shi Town, had been slaughtered.
However, life is unpredictable. The Xie ancestor passed away early, leaving only a few notes in his notebook. In addition, in the chaotic world, even self-preservation was difficult.
The events at Shangxi Village were gradually forgotten, and when disciples later tried to find them, they had nowhere to turn.
The old man stayed at the agreed place for thousands of years.
When his resentment was about to burst, he finally received the arrival of the Xie family's heir.
Originally, he wanted to leave both of them here permanently, because the Xie family had broken their word and made him wait for so long... he almost forgot who he was.
"Why...why didn't you come sooner?" They were tormented by pain every day.
"Feel sorry."
Xie Li paused for a moment, then told the old man about his ancestor's early death. His ancestor had left regrets in his notes, not only about Shangxi Village, but also about Qingshi Town and the whole world.
This is utter devastation and loss of life.
But people like them only know a few tricks; how could they possibly control the fate of the world?
However, there are always those who refuse to believe in evil, and in the end, they only meet with death and the annihilation of their spirit.
The old man stared blankly. "So that's how it is. Why does Heaven always treat good people so cruelly? Why can't kindness be rewarded? Is it even necessary for people to be good?"
Seeing that the black aura on the old man's forehead was growing thicker, Xie Li said indifferently, "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs. Good and evil are choices made by people. People are born to learn to be good, so that every blade of grass in this world will not be stained with the blood of evil."
The emperor ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, teaching people to be good, which is also a kind of good.
Otherwise, your village won't even have the initial peace and harmony. Good deeds are good, but don't be too good.
Moreover, that person came with malicious intent; even if you hadn't offered help, it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
The old man's resentment grew heavier, so Xie Li pointed to the child in Xie Ning's arms and said, "Isn't he also a good deed?"
If it weren't for the kindness and compassion of the Xie family ancestors, the ghost body that this child had originally cultivated would have been collected into the soul banner or directly scattered, instead of spending time and effort to cleanse him of his sins and give him a new path to rebirth.
The old man sat down somewhat dejectedly, and soon a small hand reached out from his cloudy vision, on which lay a neatly woven red rope.
"Grandpa, this is for you. My sister said that I will definitely become as powerful as the little monkey in the future and protect my family."
The child's speech became fluent again, which surprised Xie Ning. As dawn broke, the child's soul was being restored at a visible speed, and his consciousness was no longer so incomplete.
The little boy squatted down, tilted his head and looked up. He saw that his grandfather's eyes were red, no, they were black and red. He didn't understand, but he wanted to share his joy.
"Grandpa, my sister said she gave me a name, Chujing. She said I'm like the rising sun, so she named me Chujing. Grandpa, do you think it sounds nice?"
"It sounds nice."
The old man's resentment gradually dissipated, and he returned to his original appearance, gentle and kind, with a smile in his eyes.
This is a "realm" formed from the old man's memories, so Xie Ning and his companion can leave after calming the resentment of the old man and other spirits.
However, Xie Ning discovered that the timing of her departure was something she could choose herself.
Because time doesn't flow here, or rather, it flows very slowly. This is something the old man discovered himself. Time is different in every "realm" formed by memory.
Because he rarely goes out, he doesn't perceive the passage of time, which is why the "environment" formed by his memories has this characteristic.
Xie Ning and Xie Li exchanged a glance and decided to stay there for a while. Firstly, they could inscribe runes to make some things to contain souls, since the wooden plaques given by the two disciples were not enough.
Secondly, it can be used for learning.
Xie Ning juggled two things at once, especially after starting university when his studies became very demanding and he had to prepare for various competitions, which inevitably led him to neglect his Taoist cultivation.
Xie Li happened to be there at that moment, so why not stay and study for a while longer?
Of course, although time flows very slowly inside, you can't stay too long, as it can be harmful to your health.
After all, time is different in different spatial regions, but the actual time experienced by one's own body does exist.
