Seeing that Ye Sisi was still about to throw money away, Chu Tian quickly reached out to stop her, saying, "She's already dead. You should keep these things for yourself to save your life."
Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi quickly put the missile away, her anger dissipating. They treated her like a pushover and a punching bag, huh.
At the same time, she secretly rolled her eyes at Chu Tian beside her and used her spiritual power to erase the signature she had just shamelessly begged for.
Chu Tian couldn't help but twitch his lips. What kind of look was that? Disdain? He hadn't done anything, and besides, wasn't it her own choice to sign the name? What did she mean by this? This girl's thoughts were really hard to fathom.
If he had read the novels Zhao Anran had written, he would know that she had stopped being a fan.
Ye Sisi nodded in satisfaction at her clean sleeves and said to Chu Tian beside her, "Senior, I'll be killing evil spirits in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land next. I'll return to the sect after my senior brothers and sisters come out. What about you?"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Tian handed her a communication jade token: "I need to go back to the Hehuan Sect first. Send me a message when you get back."
Ye Sisi nodded and accepted it. Although she couldn't go to the Soul Beast Tower to have some fun this time, she still gained a lot by bringing in such a powerful ally. Who knows if the Heavenly Dao will cause any more trouble?
Seeing that Chu Tian had left, Ye Sisi retrieved the undamaged array flags and the remaining spirit stones.
Although she killed Luo Jiuge, she also suffered considerable losses. Unfortunately, Luo Jiuge's spatial ring was also destroyed, otherwise she could have made a small profit.
She wandered leisurely through the forbidden land of the underworld, killing any evil spirits she encountered without hesitation.
Xiao Liuli suddenly spoke up: "Sister, if I remember correctly, you just obtained a Soul Crossing Scripture and a wooden fish in the Soul Beast Tower."
Ye Sisi was a little confused, but she still nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong? I'm not a Buddhist disciple, so I don't need those two things."
Little Liuli was a little excited: "Sister, this is the Forbidden Land of the Underworld, where ghosts are the most abundant thing."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Sisi understood what Xiao Liuli meant: "You want me to perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife? But I'm not a Buddhist practitioner, I don't know how."
"Sister, don't forget you have me. I am a Buddhist treasure, and that wooden fish is not an ordinary Buddhist instrument. You just need to memorize the Soul Crossing Sutra and then strike the wooden fish."
"No, why should I bother to exorcise these evil spirits? I can easily deal with them myself."
"Naturally, it's because of merit. Although you can also gain merit by killing evil spirits one by one, it's far less than what you get from liberating them. Moreover, the soul crystals left behind by the liberated evil spirits don't need to be processed again; they can be directly refined."
Ye Sisi's mind went blank upon hearing this. She raised her hand to interrupt the excited Xiao Liuli and asked uncertainly, "No, they've all been exorcised, so why would they still have soul crystals left behind?"
She deeply doubted that this ritual of deliverance was the one she understood.
Xiao Liuli tilted her head and thought for a moment before explaining, "You can understand it this way: the evil spirits that you directly dispersed left this world with filth, while the evil spirits that were exorcised and dissipated left this world cleanly."
Ye Sisi...
So, is the ritual of sending off the dead in the cultivation world just another way of sending them away?
"Little Liuli, in theory, most cultivators don't have the chance to reincarnate after death, so where do these evil spirits and ghosts from the ghost realm come from?"
She hadn't thought about this question before, but after experiencing life-and-death battles, she knew that whether it was a cultivator, an evil cultivator, or a demonic cultivator, if they didn't die naturally, their opponents wouldn't give them a chance to reincarnate. Therefore, many cultivators would be beaten to the point of having their souls scattered.
Since their souls have all been scattered, where did so many ghosts with cultivation come from? Not to mention the ghost realm, there are quite a few even in the forbidden land of the Yellow Springs.
Xiao Liuli said she didn't know either. "Sister, maybe you'll understand when your cultivation is high enough and you comprehend or even master the laws of the world. But don't worry, the evil spirits here were definitely wicked people in their previous lives. It's their good fortune that they can be exorcised and dissipated."
Ye Sisi always felt that Xiao Liuli's words were somewhat dark, but as she listened, they seemed to have a positive connotation.
So she pulled out the Soul-Crossing Scripture, the wooden fish, and the matching small hammer for striking the wooden fish from her spatial ring.
Looking at what she was holding, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that she should wear a cassock, otherwise it would be too unromantic.
He quickly skimmed through the contents of the Transcendental Scripture, and after confirming that he had memorized it, he began to recite the scripture while striking the wooden fish.
The ethereal sound of the wooden fish echoed through the dark and mysterious Forbidden Land of the Underworld, sounding both eerie and gentle, accompanied by the little girl's clear and melodious chanting.
As Ye Sisi continued reading, she realized something was wrong; why was her whole body glowing?
Xiao Liuli explained, "Sister, this is all the merit you gained after killing demons and evil cultivators. Now that you have the blessing of merit, it will be easier for you to deliver evil spirits."
For some reason, Ye Sisi felt that her path of cultivation was getting more and more distorted. How did she end up becoming a monk, or rather a nun, who was protected by golden light of merit and helped the souls of the dead to be delivered?
And so, a little girl radiating dazzling golden light and striking a wooden fish became an unmissable and beautiful sight in the monotonous and desolate forbidden land of the underworld.
Then Ye Sisi discovered that wherever she went, ghosts, whether conscious or not, would stay far away from her.
But that won't do. She needs to collect merits and soul crystals. If the evil spirits all run away, how will she be able to deliver them to the afterlife?
So she put away the wooden fish and resumed her regular work.
After concealing her presence, she found several places to set up array points. Since the merit collectors wanted to escape, she would draw a circle around them.
