In fact, the master explained to me that this Taoist mantra is a bridge between the yin and yang worlds, just like when you meet a stranger for the first time and say hello.
If you are polite, the other party will naturally not embarrass you. If you are disrespectful, don't blame the other party for embarrassing you.
What's more, what we are facing is a ghost. This thing is full of evil spirits, so we need to face it with etiquette.
If you are inviting gods, you need to pay more attention to the propriety of the spell.
"The person who comes is not good." Wei Yucheng's thoughts came from his mind.
"I know." I responded with a smile.
It was calm here at Haitang, and a few gentle-looking ghosts floated over quietly, smelling the fragrance, eating wax, picking up paper money, and bowing politely to Haitang to thank her.
Haitang was naturally polite. After all, this was the doorstep of someone else's home, and you asked them to come all the way out.
The situation over the twins was not so ideal. There were indeed a lot of ghosts coming, but those ghosts were all very vicious, and it looked like they wanted to beat up the twins.
As more and more ghosts gathered on the twins' side, the twins naturally felt that something was wrong, so they quickly meditated and recited a mantra.
I vaguely heard something. These two boys really offended these ghosts this time.
These two boys actually recited the curse to exorcise ghosts.
You invite people here and then recite curses to drive them away. This is simply looking for trouble. You light a lamp in the toilet and you are looking for death.
Haitang politely sent the ghost away, and there were no incense, candles, paper money on the ground.
But it was not easy for the twins. Although most of the ghosts were driven away, there were a few of them who were wise and pounced directly on the twins.
This sinister aura touched anyone's body and made it uncomfortable for anyone. One of the twins turned pale and fell to the ground.
The other one stood up, grabbed the yellow talisman and the peach wood sword, and stabbed the remaining ghosts hard.
Although the ghosts were not hurt and they were successfully driven away, I am afraid they will not be able to hang out in this town in the future.
"Junior brother, junior brother..." The twins saw that the ghost was gone and hurried to see his junior brother.
However, his junior brother was already frothing at the mouth and unconscious.
"You win." I clasped my fists and shouted at the twins.
He just looked up at me, his eyes complex and even filled with resentment.
"Let's go." I shook my head and looked at everyone.
Seeing us boarding the car and leaving, the theatergoers also started their cars and ran faster than us.
As for the twin brothers, it's none of my business.
Back in town, Heizi suggested finding a place to eat. There was no staple food for the afternoon shopping. When Heizi said this, I was indeed a little hungry.
After ordering something and sitting down, I saw Zhou Jiaonan frowning.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?" I asked softly.
"Actually, shouldn't we have helped them at that time?" Zhou Jiaonan looked up at me.
When she talks about them, she naturally refers to the twin brothers.
"Why?" I didn't answer her question directly.
"If we leave, they might be killed by those ghosts..." Zhou Jiaonan said with a grimace.
"Everyone has their own laws, and Yin has Yin laws. We can practice Taoism across Yin and Yang, but it doesn't mean we can't respect or abide by the law." After I finished speaking, I stopped and looked at Zhou Jiaonan.
"I'm talking about saving people..." Zhou Jiaonan obviously didn't understand what I meant.
"They commit evil crimes first. This is their own business. Just like when you are on duty to arrest someone, have you ever thought about helping the criminal to take the blame?" This time, I said it very straightforwardly.
"Is it because the other party is a ghost that we don't respect and don't care? They are not good at academics because their Taoism is not righteous. Your current thoughts are also very inappropriate." I said a little angry, and my tone was a little more serious.
"Xiaotian..." Mudan said and glared at me.
"Xiaotian doesn't mean anything else." Haitang also hurriedly agreed.
"Oh, this seafood porridge is good, let's try some?" Heizi saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly changed the subject.
"What's wrong with me wanting to save people?" Zhou Jiaonan suddenly stood up and shouted at me with tears in his eyes.
"This is not about saving people, it's about them seeking their own death. If a Taoist student doesn't even understand these things, then why should he learn the Tao?" I was also angry, so I got up and argued with Zhou Jiaonan.
"If cultivating Tao means seeing death without saving anything, then it's okay not to practice." Zhou Jiaonan dropped these words, turned around and ran away.
"Junior sister..." Haitang rolled her eyes at me, stood up and chased after me.
"Why are you talking about her like that?" Mudan also frowned and looked at me.
"Originally, those two guys committed suicide. What does that have to do with us?" I was still angry and my tone was very unkind.
"Xiaotian, you have changed..." Heizi suddenly said this, which made me excited.
Have I changed?
It seems so. There was no mercy at all when I left. I remembered that I was not such a cruel person.
The improvement of my soul strength and spiritual power can indeed help me see through people's hearts, but I seem to have gradually lost my original intention.
"Am I really going too far?" After calming down, I looked at Mudan and Heizi.
"According to the rules, we don't have to deal with those two people, but according to human feelings, it's understandable that Junior Sister wants to save people." Mudan said seriously.
"Heizi..." I looked at Heizi with some disappointment.
"How should I put it? I'm glad that you are no longer indecisive now, but sometimes you make me feel that you are a little cold-blooded..." Heizi's words were like sharp knives piercing my heart.
"Heizi..." Mudan's expression darkened when she saw me, and she immediately glared at Heizi.
"I just said that casually, don't take it seriously..." Heizi also realized that he had said something harsh and quickly explained with a smile.
"You guys eat, I'll go for a walk..." I stood up with a wry smile and walked towards the street outside the night market.
It seems that my mentality has indeed changed a lot since the evil witch Ma Sheng almost killed me.
Sometimes I have the feeling that things have nothing to do with me. It seems that except for the people around me, other people have nothing to do with me.
Going into the mines to deal with zombies was just a cultivation mentality. Of course, the livelihood of the local people was also taken into consideration.
But instead of putting the livelihood of the people first, I really want to prove myself in front of everyone and prove myself in front of Huang Yu.
Having not smoked for a long time, I lit a cigarette under the dim street light, sat on a chair by the roadside, and looked at the vast night sky, feeling a little empty in my heart.
"So you're here..." Peony's smiling voice sounded behind me.
"Why are you here?" I turned around in surprise.
"It's just me." Peony looked around me, smiled and sat next to me.
I didn't know how to speak, and Peony didn't say anything, just sat quietly.
My first impression of this woman has always been that she is cool, but now the smile on her face is so gentle.
It seemed like the haze and darkness in my heart had melted away.
"I'm sorry..." As soon as I started, I was interrupted by Peony.
"Don't tell me, tell junior sister, I'm here because I'm afraid you won't be able to get over it." Mudan turned to look at me.
"I seem to have gone too far." I said and lowered my head.
"My junior sister has only been in contact with evil spirits for a short period of time, and her contact with evil spirits is very small. It is normal for her to put people first." Mudan's words sounded strange.
"It's not that I don't care about human life, I just..." I wanted to retort, but I didn't seem to know what the problem was.
"Your height is just different. In fact, I also had such a period at that time..." Mudan smiled and looked at the night sky.
It turns out that her coolness is not just pretending to be cool, but she is really cold.
Before meeting the master, Mudan's mother was killed by an evil spirit, so she had a deep resentment towards any evil spirit.
After practicing Taoism with her master, she became even more violent and mercilessly killed those evil spirits who had done evil whenever she had the chance.
Even later, no evil spirit could escape her grasp.
"What happened next?" Listening to her story, I felt very anxious.
"Later, the master said that ghosts do evil because of external factors, and people do evil because of internal factors." Mudan said and looked at me with a smile.
"I understand some, but I don't understand some..." Indeed, the master never told me this.
"When a person dies, he becomes a ghost. If he is killed by a bad person, he will become a bad person. But if a person wants to become a bad person, it is just a thought. I don't want to be a bad person, so I figured it out later." Peony looked at me and smiled softly.
With just one sentence and one thought, I suddenly woke up from a dream.
"Thank you, I almost became a bad guy." I responded with a wry smile.
"Those who do evil are called evil spirits, and those who harm others are called bad guys. You didn't harm anyone, you just didn't want to save those who didn't follow the rules." At this moment, Mudan was just like my master.
