Chapter 26 Set a small goal first [New book, please collect it! ]
The sun is shining, under the old locust tree.
Yu Qian'an was sitting by the well eating watermelon.
Li Chu walked over and saw that the master looked so sage even when he was eating watermelon. Every time he rolled up his sleeves and spit out the seeds, he exuded an indescribable temperament.
"Hey, want one?" Yu Qian'an said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master." Li Chu also sat down.
Yu Qian'an looked at Li Chu and thought that his disciple was so handsome and unrestrained when eating watermelon, leaning his head and wiping his mouth, just like me in my youth.
He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "What are you thanking me for? These fruits were sent by Miss Li yesterday. She came to see you, so I am the one who got lucky."
"Miss Li?"
"The name is quite obscure, I forgot it. It means a girl with a very thin waist, long legs, full breasts and round hips, and a very good figure."
Li Chu shook his head and couldn't remember.
"Oh, she has a mole on the left side of her chest," Yu Qian'an added.
"Huh?" Li Chu was even more confused.
"By the way, she also left fifty taels of silver."
"Li Xinyi." Li Chu immediately recalled: "She is a disciple of Chao Tianque. We have handled strange cases together before. The fifty taels is the reward I deserve."
As he said this, he blinked again.
Does Li Xinyi have a mole on the left side of her chest?
No, he was wondering why Li Xinyi had to do such a small thing as delivering money. In the past, Chow Tai Fook would directly send a small constable.
And she should have returned to Hangzhou Prefecture a long time ago.
Yu Qi'an said at the right time: "She seemed to have something else to ask you, but seeing that you were not here, she had to leave first."
"Oh." Li Chu nodded.
Yu Qian'an ate another piece of watermelon, wiped his mouth, and glanced at Li Chu: "Aren't you going to ask him what's going on?"
"She will come again if there is something important." Li Chu shrugged indifferently.
"Alas." Yu Qian'an looked at his apprentice and sighed, feeling disappointed in him.
"Master, I have something to ask you." Li Chu almost forgot his purpose when he was interrupted by Yu Qian'an.
"Oh? What's that?"
"I have a question. If there is a group of ghosts, and they stay peacefully in one place, and humans don't disturb them, they don't harm people. In this case, can I destroy these ghosts?" Li Chu asked seriously.
"Aren't you always doing this kind of thing?" Yu Qian'an asked back.
In the past year, Li Chu has been leveling up by killing monsters in Shilipo. Although he is not clear about the purpose, he is aware of this behavior.
"But these ghosts are more advanced and have intelligence, unlike the lantern monsters." Li Chu said.
Yu Qian'an thought for a moment and replied slowly: "Haha, among us cultivators, there is a saying that goes, monsters can be taught, but devils are difficult."
Li Chu leaned forward, showing an attitude of humbly seeking advice.
"It means that the four kinds of evil things, demons, ghosts and monsters, are actually different."
"Monsters are the result of spiritual practice by all living creatures. They are a sublimation of life. Monsters themselves are neither good nor evil. Good monsters are those that do good, and bad monsters are those that do evil. Good monsters can be educated and guided, just like the little fox that comes to visit us every day. We can coexist peacefully with them. Only bad monsters need to be eradicated."
"Monsters are creatures of different species that were born and bred naturally. They are essentially no different from birds and beasts. Similarly, if they behave themselves, humans should not disturb them."
"Because they have their own path to follow."
"My own path..." Li Chu murmured, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Monsters are formed from other creatures that have transformed into demons." Yu Qian'an's expression was slightly serious: "Once possessed by a demon, it is difficult to reverse. If they are allowed to survive in the human world, they will surely cause great bloodshed and massacres. They must be eradicated."
"Ghosts are also the incarnation of the souls of other living beings. Due to various reasons, they did not embark on the path of reincarnation and stayed in the human world. But no matter what the reason is, this is not the path they should take. They have gone astray from the moment they were born. Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, eliminating ghosts is equivalent to helping them return to the right path."
"As for demons and ghosts, it doesn't matter whether they are good or evil. Once you meet them, you can destroy them. It is for this reason that destroying ghosts is called salvation, and salvation can accumulate merit. Regardless of whether they have intelligence or not, it cannot be considered killing."
"So, the criterion for judging whether to kill or not is whether the creature is walking on the right path, right?" Li Chu asked.
"You can say that." Yu Qian'an smiled and nodded.
Li Churuo nodded as if he had gained something.
Watching Li Chu get up and leave, Yu Qian'an muttered to his back: "I wonder which ghost is so unlucky."
…
That night.
The Liu family haunted house.
Last night's commotion seemed to have no effect here at all, and the atmosphere was still as peaceful and eerie as ever.
But as a figure in a green Taoist robe slowly approached, the scene became somewhat beautiful.
In fact, Li Chu has been thinking recently that the experience points that the lantern monsters can provide are getting less and less. It would be great if there could be a new, slightly more advanced leveling point.
But he is not familiar with the distant place and might get into trouble.
The appearance of the Liu family haunted house perfectly met his needs.
Few people, many ghosts, close to home.
And now it seems that the ghosts here can appear out of thin air. If this is the case, it is likely that they will continue to appear.
It was simply prepared for him to level up.
The only concern is that these ghosts originally lived here peacefully. If no one came to cause death, they would not sneak out to harm people. So if I come here to take them for upgrading, wouldn't it be a bit inhumane?
Yu Qian'an's words today relieved his worries.
I am not leveling up or killing these ghosts. Instead, I am saving them and helping them get back on the right path.
Just like doctors who cure diseases and save lives, and teachers who teach and educate people, it is a great and noble act.
I am destroying you for your own good.
Of course, there will be some pain in the process of treatment or learning.
But he assured me that it would only hurt for a moment.
After experiencing the pain once, you can start a new life.
With such a lofty mood, Li Chu walked into the gate of the Liu family haunted house again.
At this moment, the light of righteousness shone on the haunted building.
He knocked on the doors of the rooms in order, starting with the first one: "Excuse me, is there a ghost here?"
There were some strange babbling sounds coming from inside, so it seemed like there was something there.
Li Chu pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a ghost dressed as an actor, wearing a spring shirt with long sleeves. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
Seeing Li Chu coming in, it sang in a shrill voice: "It hurts, it hurts, I push my lover gently, I gradually hear the trembling sound, I am slightly startled and my face is flushed~"
Li Chu listened and felt that this opera singer was a little bit unserious.
But he still said very politely: "Hello, I am here to save you. It may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while, it will be fine soon."
The singing ghost seemed to understand what he said and wanted to express his opposition with his own actions.
But Li Chu didn't give it a chance.
laugh--
A sword light flashed, the babbling tone still echoed in the room, but the ghost body disappeared out of thin air.
The salvation was successful.
Li Chu felt that he had become even more noble.
Correspondingly, it is one step closer to level 72.
Walking out of the room and looking at the full four-story attic, Li Chu thought that he could set a small goal first.
Let’s reach level 100 first.
…
Three hundred miles northwest of Yuhang Town.
The White Bone Mountain and the Corpse Cave.
Two hoarse and dull voices sounded again.
This time, there was a clear sense of panic.
"That little Taoist priest is back! He's knocking on doors after doors, looking for ghosts, and killing them one by one! In just one night, he's cleared out the entire haunted building!"
"What! You can't do anything to him?"
"If you had seen him draw his sword, you wouldn't have said such a stupid thing."
"We have to do something! Otherwise, when our king lifts the seal, you and I will both be held responsible!"
The other voice was silent again, then spoke again.
"I am praying that he won't come again tomorrow."
