Li Huhu and I won a great victory. After we came out to meet Geng Biaobiao, we drove away from this land of right and wrong together.
On the way, I opened my handbag and looked at the skull that had been split in two, thinking deeply.
Geng Biaobiao suddenly spoke, "Brother, what do you want with these dead people's bones? Are you going to use this thing to control that female ghost Wu Ling and take revenge on the Earth Gate?"
I shook my head and said: "I can't do such immoral things as fucking ghosts and harming people. I only used it to scare these two little shrimps, Hou Sanbing and Ma Sistin. Wu Ling is pitiful enough. I want to kill her." The skull was brought back to the Celestial Master's Pavilion and offered as an offering to it so that it could be liberated. In this world, one less evil ghost will bring more peace."
Geng Biaobiao cast an admiring glance and praised loudly: "Yang Sheng, you are indeed our good leader. Having an Onmyoji like you who is kind and good at doing good things is a blessing for the Ji Dao Sect. In the future, as long as it is arranged by you If you say one thing, I will never say another thing."
I ignored him, but just sat there and started thinking.
People's good and evil often happen in an instant. I will repay others' kindness to me. If my enemy is merciless to me, then I will naturally not be merciful.
People from Dadimen always use despicable means to harm me, even at the expense of others. They are enough to make the devil deal with me. I really want to be a villain and use their methods to retaliate against them. However, I am not from Dadimen. Scum, if I use their methods to deal with others, what's the difference between me and them?
Exorcising ghosts and harming people is what animals do. I can't do that. It is the duty of Taoists to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Zuo Pang is just for profit, and he uses Taoism that is supposed to help the world as a means of making profit. It is really sad.
Thinking of this, I suddenly asked them both a strange question, "Why do we Taoists practice Taoism? For money or to save people?"
Geng Biaobiao first replied: "Both, both for money and to save people, there is no conflict."
"Why? Isn't Taoism meant to save the world and save people? Why should money be involved?" I asked Geng Biaobiao several questions in a row. Even I couldn't figure out whether the Taoism I studied was true. To slay demons and protect the Tao, or to stink of copper!
"What does this mean? Senior brother, we members of the Extreme Taoist sect have profound Taoist teachings. When we eliminate demons and defend the Tao, shouldn't we be rewarded if someone asks us to do so? We are Taoist priests and we are also human beings. We don't need to eat. Is that so? There is nothing wrong with taking money. As the saying goes, taking money from others to eliminate disasters is what it means! There is nothing wrong with it."
Geng Biaobiao's words make sense, but I have to reflect on myself. Zuo Pang was once a Taoist master who was profound in Taoism and took it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend Taoism. Unfortunately, he later saw the prosperity of the secular world and completely Falling in love with money, becoming a slave to money, thus losing oneself and forgetting Taoist duties. Now, he has become a villain and a bad person who only cares about money.
"What Huang Sheng said makes sense, but if we receive more business and make more money in the future, will we become like Zuo Pang, who only cares about money and does not care about human ethics? If that happens, even if we After defeating a Zuo Pang, I became the new Zuo Pang. Wouldn’t that be the biggest irony and the biggest joke?” I began to doubt myself again, and I was really afraid that one day I would become a Zuo Pang because of money. The same devil.
Just when I was wondering, Li Huhu, who was driving the car, suddenly spoke, "Yang Sheng, you are not Zuo Pang, you are Zhang Ruoxu. You have to be yourself and live your own life! Do you understand?"
Li Huhu's words seemed simple and easy to understand, but they poured cold water on me, an enlightened person, and made me sober up. I then asked him, "Third senior brother, what does it mean to be yourself and live like yourself?"
He was driving, but he didn't answer my question immediately. Instead, he asked Geng Biaobiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, to light a cigarette for him and put it in his mouth. He took a deep puff and held the cigarette between his right fingers. Then he said: "Is your name Zhang Ruoxu?"
"yes!"
"Is the master Fenglei Taoist Hu Tianming?"
"That's right!"
"Then why do you become a Feng Shui Onmyoji?"
"In order to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, we must do our duty as a Taoist family!"
"Okay, the three soul questions are over. You already have the answer in your heart. All you have to do is these things."
I understand Li Huhu’s words, which are to let me stick to my original thoughts, and no matter what changes or things happen in the future, I should not lose myself or lose my essence.
Li Huhu took another puff of cigarette and then asked: "Yang Sheng, humans are not grass and trees. You are a human being, I am a human being, and Huang Sheng is also a human being. As long as we live in a human society, we cannot do without the materials that humans rely on to survive." The foundation, money, no matter good or bad, men and women cannot do without it, no one will say you are wrong when you make money, but you have to be yourself."
I smiled bitterly, savoring what Li Huhu said, and thinking about my life over and over again. The ups and downs in my heart were changing me, but Li Huhu was right, the only thing that cannot change is my true heart.
But one thing they don't know is that I am no longer pure me, and now someone can change me. That person is the sorrow and only concern in my heart, and that person is Deng Wanwan.
If I really want to say that there is something worth giving, even if it is my life, it used to be only the responsibility of the Taoist family, but now there is one more, that is the love of my life, Deng Wanwan.
It is precisely because of my love for her and her expectations of me that I become indecisive and sometimes deny myself. I focus more and more on money. Also because of my selfishness, I used to be a single person who had enough to eat. The whole family is not hungry. Now I have a woman to support, and I want to give her a better life. Therefore, I need money more and more, and my motives are no longer pure.
I sat in the back seat of the car and thought about it for a long time. I kept sitting blankly and didn't speak for a long time, until Li Huhu spoke.
"Yang Sheng, don't be confused. Huang Sheng and I both understand your thoughts."
What does he mean by understanding? I turned my gaze to him and asked, "Do you all understand?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Yangsheng, Senior Brother Xuansheng and I both understand you. We are both men, but you took a step ahead of me and Third Senior Brother. You found someone first!" Geng Biaobiao made it clear. , it seems that brothers understand me best.
"Huang Sheng is right. Now that someone likes you, and you like them, your thoughts will naturally change. Fifth Junior Brother is pursuing Ren Lingling. When he succeeds, he may be more interested in wealth than you, but he is more wealthy than you. You are strong, and the girlfriend you have found is the richest woman in the city, who has at least a hundred years less struggle than you."
This was the first time that Li Huhu spoke so humorously. I really didn’t expect that such words could come from a thirty-eight-year-old virgin who had never been in love. It seemed that he also longed to be loved. Maybe in the near future, he would There will also be love for the first time.
Being career-minded often affects the progress of starting a family. This also explains why the higher the academic level, the harder it is to find a partner. The harder you work on your career, the easier it is to be left behind. Isn’t it because of the cruel reality?
Who told us to endure the dilemma of high housing prices, high bride price, and low income?
I smiled and thanked them both, and said jokingly: "You two are really a roundworm in my stomach. I should give Wanwan a call."
I took out my cell phone and found that it was turned off. Then I remembered that I had forgotten to turn it on after I turned it off while visiting Dadi Gate.
Who would have thought that as soon as I turned on my phone, text message alerts kept ringing. There were 19 missed calls, all of which were from Zhang Xiaosi.
This guy is definitely up to no good when he comes to me, either to help solve the case or to help him arrest people. I am embarrassed to refuse, because it is a citizen's duty to assist the police in solving cases!
It seems that I have to do something thankless again. Zhang Xiaosi must be very anxious when he makes so many phone calls. These nineteen missed calls are proof.
I was about to call back when Zhang Xiaosi called again and got through.
"Thank God you finally turned on your phone and answered my call!"
"I just did some personal business and it was inconvenient to turn on the phone. If you have any questions, just tell me!"
"Zhang Ruoxu, another person surrendered. The guy called himself Zha Zu. His stomach was severely rotten and he looked half-dead. He insisted on seeing you and said that only you could save him. He was about to be haunted by ghosts." Zhang Xiaosi's angry voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of complaint.
"He is haunted by a ghost again. Which ghost could haunt him? Have you asked?" I frowned.
"I asked, but he refused to tell. He had to show up before he could tell me everything. He also said that he would tell everything on one condition, which is to save him and protect his safety."
I chuckled and said, "Isn't it your police's duty to protect the safety of witnesses?"
Zhang Xiaosi became unhappy and shouted to me in an angry tone: "Don't be so shameless. If I can protect him, do I still need you? Come here quickly!"
Before I could speak, a strange voice came from the phone, "Zhang Tianshi, I beg you, please save me. Come to the police station quickly and I will tell you everything I know. Come... come quickly." , I can't stand it anymore! That female ghost is going to kill me, Keba, he will also hurt me, come on, if it's a little later, I won't survive tomorrow."
It seemed that this person was Zha Zu. He finally couldn't bear it and found him. It seemed that it was too late.
"Okay, I'll go over right now, Zhang Xiaosi, listen, don't let him touch anyone before I arrive, find an ultraviolet lamp to shine on his belly, the strong light can relieve his pain, and find some cinnabar , use a brush to draw a body seal on his back."
"Are you kidding me? How can I draw a body seal?"
"Hang up the phone and I'll send you the picture of the body seal. You can just copy it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent the picture of Pang Shenyin via WeChat.
"Huang Sheng, have we worn the magic hood we made?" I asked anxiously.
"I didn't bring it with me. I never thought that Zha Zu would surrender at this time."
"Hey..." I let out a long sigh, why did it happen so unluckily that I missed it at this time?
However, things must be solved and problems must be faced.
"Xuansheng, pull over. I'll take a taxi to the police station and stabilize Zha Zu's situation first. You and Huang quickly go back to the Tianshi Pavilion to get the magic shield. You must be quick, otherwise we will be passive again."
The car stopped. After I left the car, they quickly started to go back to Tianshi Pavilion. I didn't delay and immediately took a taxi to the city police station and came to Zhang Xiaosi's office.
Sure enough, there was a man with a haggard expression and a little black beard lying on his side on the ground groaning. The ultraviolet light was shining directly on his maggot-ridden and smelly belly. Seeing me coming, he finally saw hope of survival.
I ignored him and just asked Zhang Xiaosi, "When did he arrive at the case?"
"An hour ago!"
Some people died, but not completely...
