"Please ask the immortal for enlightenment!"
The ghostly voice of the famous captain came from the side: "The harm to the people, cattle and sheep is all done by General Feng. The one who ordered the killing is also General Chang, but it has nothing to do with the other soldiers!"
"General, don't worry. I'm just a Taoist, not a god who can eliminate ghosts. The general sacrificed his life for the country. As long as he keeps his peace and doesn't harm the people, how can I dare to embarrass the general?" Song You said quickly, "What's more, even if you can't do your job properly, This place should be managed by Tiangong and Thunder God."
"Thunder Lord..."
The ghosts looked at each other again.
"Immortal..."
"What else can you do, General?"
"Immortals have great supernatural powers and are kind people. We..."
"General, you don't have to be like this." Song You said helplessly, "Just say it."
"We didn't mean to gather here to become a ghost town. In fact, we became ghosts after death, wandering around, with nowhere to go, and loneliness. That's why we gathered here. Going out to harm cattle and sheep was all done by General Feng. Later, the government It was also because of this incident that we sent people to look for us. The people who came to exterminate the demons were very hateful. Not only did they want to drive us all away, but they also insulted us. General Chang then led his people to look for them. But we were all the same. The soldiers who guard the territory have no intention of harming anyone."
"I understand."
"However, when we gather here, it's okay if there are few ghosts at first. But once there are more ghosts, it seems that they are not tolerated by the gods in the sky and prohibited by the local government." The captain said helplessly, "In this case, we will also I don’t know where to go, so I am bold and want to ask the immortal to show me the way.”
"That's it..."
Song You nodded, thinking.
When the captain heard this, he seemed hopeful. He looked at the ghosts around him and immediately said to Song You:
"Sage, please come this way!"
"My surname is Song and You. You can call me Taoist Priest or Sir."
"Little Lu Bao was originally the deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu under General Lu Wenlu of Zhaoye City. Thirteen years ago he died in the battle of Zhaoye City. He was promoted to a higher rank before his death. He once led the elite cavalry regiment for General Lu," Lu Bao said, " Although the younger one did not die in battle in Yuan'an City, he stayed here for thirteen years after his death. If Mr. Song wants to take a stroll, the younger one can lead the way."
"Thank you very much."
Song You followed him and walked forward.
The calico cat and the bay horse also followed.
Deputy Lieutenant Zhaowu was a Wu Sanguan, lower than the sixth rank. He was promoted to a higher rank before his death, and became Zhaowu Xiaowei, upper rank of the sixth rank.
The highest level below the general is scattered.
However, at that time, the Saibei people moved south in large numbers, and many people died in the north. The war was at the beginning, and many military attachés were assigned to low-level positions as high-ranking casual officials. It depends on what you think about it. On the one hand, there are many high-ranking military attaches in the Northern Army. On the other hand, these military attachés’ ranks are obtained at the cost of their lives. Many of them have not even enjoyed the scattered ranks. The treatment it brings is already dead.
This Lieutenant Lu should be the highest-ranking one in the city besides the two generals Feng Chang.
Song You thought as he walked and said: "You are all soldiers who defend your home and country. You should have a destination. Now that you are gathered here, if you stay safe and do not cause trouble to the people, it is not impossible."
"The Immortal doesn't know something. Just two days ago, thunder from the sky came to the world and fell on the southern city." Lieutenant Lu showed a troubled look.
"Now the person in charge of the Lei Department is Zhou Lei Gong. Zhou Lei Gong is a fair and upright man. He doesn't have much prejudice against monsters who don't do evil. Those who make mistakes are not killed with one sword. You are all heroic souls. I don't think that thunder will come that day." It’s also mainly a warning, and now that General Feng and General Chang have left here, in my opinion, you don’t have to worry about Thunder God’s punishment.”
Song You said and paused.
"However, it is against the law of heaven for the soul to linger after death. If ghosts gather in one place, even if they do not cause trouble, the leakage of yin and ghost energy will affect the vitality of the surrounding land. From this point of view, it is indeed difficult for you to Stay here for the long haul.”
"Can we just wander around the world, or follow those monks, Taoists, and ghosts to the ghost city in the underworld?"
"Um?"
Song You was confused and asked puzzledly: "Since you all know that there is a ghost city in the underworld in the south, why don't you want to go there?"
"this……"
"Can't you tell me?"
"Sir, he is an expert in the gods. We won't hide it." Colonel Lu hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are also people who are willing to go to the ghost city in the underworld. Those who are willing to go have already gone. There are also new ghosts in the north, and many unknown Bubai was also taken to the ghost city in the underworld, which is said to have been built by the Imperial Master."
"Indeed."
"Most of those who stay here don't want to go." Lieutenant Lu said, "We have the same friendship as men in the army. Many of them live and die together. There are old ghosts who have gone over there. , relying on their ability and moral deeds, they became ghost missionaries, some did not, some became ghost missionaries and brothers who had lived and died with them came to the north to catch ghosts. They passed by here and came back to take a look, and listened to what they said, it is best not to leave. Go, especially those who have done something wrong, but if you ask them why, they refuse to tell you."
"I see."
Song You nodded, thoughtfully.
Looking at the ghosts behind them, they range from young men and women to gray-haired veterans. They all died defending the country. They have been ghosts for many years, and they are already panic-stricken. Now they are confused.
The world is so big, where can the ghosts find their place?
Song You knew that many evil ghosts were not good people when they were alive, and they would naturally not be good ghosts after death. Some died too miserably, were psychologically distorted, or had flaws when they became ghosts. But at the same time, he also knew that many evil ghosts were not good people. Fierce ghosts were not considered treacherous or evil during their lifetimes, and they died normally. They became ghosts by chance. They were all good ghosts at the beginning, but they gradually turned into evil ghosts.
Just like the one who went back to the mountain.
"well……"
I had to sigh.
At this time, Lieutenant Lu had led him to the courtyard of a wealthy family. He could not see clearly at night. He only knew that it was probably in the middle of Yuan'an City. Captain Lu said that he was originally a general who guarded Yuan'an City on weekdays. A place where people live and discuss affairs.
Lieutenant Lu invited him in for a visit and asked him to sit down. Song You naturally refused, so he sat down with him.
"Since the Imperial Master has passed the decree and promised to give you shelter here, if you can promise not to harm the people in the future, not to go out late at night and scare people, and to be strict with yourself, I can take some measures to isolate the negative energy here. and ghost energy, so that you will not affect the earthly world. In this way, Lei Bu will not be in any more trouble." Song You was willing to help them, but just looked at them and said, "However, I and This is the first time I’ve met you all, and although I’m grateful for your heroic demeanor in sacrificing your life for the country, I don’t want you to wander around, but how can you guarantee that you will be strict with yourself after I leave?”
"What you said is true. If you helped us, but we took advantage of your help and started chaos even more unscrupulously, wouldn't we be incurring a debt for you?" Lieutenant Lu said without hesitation, "Mr. Lu But I swear to God that I will strictly restrain myself and my brothers in the city. If you don't believe it, you can seal off this Turtle City so that we can't go out, and naturally we won't harm or scare the people anymore."
"Wouldn't that be equivalent to locking everyone up?" Song You smiled.
"We have become ghosts. We don't need to go out, and we seldom go out. Even if we are sealed up, it will be fine."
"Does the general keep his word?"
"Lu is also quite prestigious here, but his official position is not as good as General Feng and General Chang. Now that the two generals have left, Lu's words may be of some use." Lieutenant Lu cupped his hand, "What's more important is that This is what all the brothers in the city think."
As soon as this statement came out, other ghosts also agreed.
Tang An also stood up and said: "Apart from the two generals Feng Chang, Lieutenant Lu has the highest official position here and is an upright person. In fact, everyone is willing to listen to him."
"Well."
After talking for a while, Song You had already seen that Lieutenant Lu was a good person, and he was naturally willing to believe the words of fellow Yizhou fellow Tang An.
"I will trust Colonel Lu and help you all."
Song You looked around and saw that although there were beams, roofs, tables and chairs in the house, they were just a cover-up for the ghosts. There was not even a piece of real wood, so he looked away: "Tomorrow during the day, I will cast a spell to block the ghosts here. Qi Yin Qi, as for sealing off Yuan'an City, there is no need, I trust General Lu."
Song You looked at Lieutenant Lu emphatically: "I just ask General Lu to take more trouble to restrain the other heroic souls. Don't come in and out at will, let alone go to the gathering place of the common people, so as not to frighten people."
"I will live up to your trust and help!" Lieutenant Lu immediately handed over his hand. "If you do anything harmful to others in the future, I will ask you to strike with thunder from the sky!"
"The general's words are serious." Song You smiled, "If General Fengchang comes back, please ask General Lu to persuade them. Yin and Yang are separated, and ghosts are born in the Yang world. You should not harm people."
"This is natural!"
"It's just that this can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"ah?"
"Even if I set a seal, it won't last long after all. If you want to live in heaven and earth for a long time, but don't want to go to the ghost city in the south, you'd better do more good things." Song You said, "You are guarding your home and country. Soldiers have an advantage. If they can be recognized by the people and the court for their good deeds and virtues, their achievements will naturally last forever."
"..."
When the ghosts heard this, they were shocked.
What I wanted was to avoid being struck to death by thunder, but I never expected that according to my husband’s words, my ghosts would one day further achieve spiritual enlightenment.
How could this not surprise the ghost?
"How dare we expect..."
"Haha, don't underestimate yourselves, and don't underestimate the gods of Yin and Earth." Song You said with a smile, "In the Changjing City God's Temple, the few military officers under the City God in the temple were just doing their jobs in the capital. They are just responsible military officers or virtuous military men among the people. The achievements of all officials are not inferior to them, so how can we belittle ourselves?"
The ghosts looked at each other, then they raised their hands and said:
"Please give me some advice, sir!"
"I heard that there is chaos in the north now, and there are often demons and ghosts causing trouble, mostly little demons and imps." Song You said to them, "Although you have become ghosts not long ago, you are very capable. If you can keep peace here, the people here will be able to make trouble." It is a good thing that you are no longer harmed by little monsters and little devils, and if you can be respected and worshiped by the people and granted a title by the government, isn't it another good thing?"
For a moment, the ghosts felt as if their knowledge had been refreshed.
But this was my first time as a ghost, and I had never been exposed to gods or Taoism, so I didn’t know how to behave like this.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Wasn't the City God a mortal before his death?
Wasn't Zhou Lei Gong just a head catcher at the beginning?
Isn't it the devil's fault?
When the ghosts looked at Song You again, their eyes had changed.
Originally, I just wanted to explain it to the "immortal" and save the ghost's life. Later, I was able to get help from the "immortal". It was an unexpected joy, and I was even ecstatic, but I never expected that I could get such a gain.
If he could really become a god and be respected and worshiped by others, wouldn't it be better than being a ghost and fearing here?
What ghost can resist such a temptation?
For a moment, the eyes of all the ghosts became intense.
"Thank you, Immortal!"
"I'll definitely do it!"
"A great favor from the immortal!"
"How can we repay each other?"
Regardless of whether the person in front of him is an immortal or not, the immortal voice at this time is sincere.
Thank you to the leader of "Xima" boss, bow and show your breasts!
