Chapter 73 Ghostly Aura
After dinner, Li Qi and Wang Yuanwai set off.
Along the way, Wang Yuanwai looked at Li Qi, trembling, not daring to speak, just carrying the things Li Qi wanted and leading the way.
But Li Qi was not going to go through all this in silence.
"Wang Yuanwai." He took the initiative to greet.
"Master Li!" Wang Yuanwai was smart, the fat on his body shook, wiped a cold sweat, and quickly stood still and looked at Li Qi.
"I see you sweat so much, it must be tiring to carry these things, I'll do it." Li Qi stretched out his hand and wanted to take the backpack behind him.
Wang Yuanwai subconsciously wanted to hide, saying: "No, no..."
But he was not a cultivator, how could he hide? Li Qi grabbed the backpack lightly, put it on his back, and said with a smile: "I am strong and healthy, carrying dozens of kilograms is like nothing, what are you fighting with me for?"
"Yes... yes, thank you very much, Master Li." Wang Yuanwai smiled flatteringly, still so nervous.
Just kidding, this is a master that even mothers think of.
In Wang Yuanwai's eyes, his mother was already a fairy-like figure who could predict the future, but she still called the young man in front of him, who was younger than himself, "senior brother".
How could Wang Yuanwai not be nervous?
At that time, he was able to hold the other person and not let him go, which was his greatest courage.
"By the way, Wang Yuanwai, what does the surrounding area of the tomb look like?" Li Qi asked.
Speaking of this matter, Wang Yuanwai dared not not say it, because he knew that it was related to the lives of his family, and hurriedly said: "Mother said that the place is a pattern of 'mountains come and water return, noble longevity and wealth', with 'glossy soil, lush vegetation, complete halls and bureaus, and the shape of the caves is concentrated'. It can be called the best land and has the merit of nurturing."
"Well... According to this statement, the person should have been reincarnated long ago, why is the soul still imprisoned in the tomb and cannot be reincarnated?" Li Qi asked back.
In theory, people will be reincarnated seven days after death. If you don't want to leave, the ghost will also take you away.
Unless you have great resentment and want to stay, the underworld will pity your grievances and keep you for a period of time to avenge you.
Or if you have a high level of cultivation, although your body is dead, when the underworld underworld comes to arrest people, they will definitely look at you and turn around and run away. Not to mention catching you, they will burn incense if you don't catch them.
But according to Mrs. Wang, the cultivation buried in this is the eighth grade.
The eighth grade is very strong, but it is far from enough to resist the underworld.
But the tomb is a great pattern, which can dispel resentment. What kind of great resentment does he have that can't be dispelled? Or is there something else in the tomb?
"This, this I don't know. Unlike Master Li and my mother who have supernatural powers, I am just a mortal..." Wang Yuanwai smiled bitterly.
Li Qi nodded, agreed with this statement, and pondered it himself.
First, he touched the willow branch tied to his waist as a belt, which he carried with him and never left. It was a sharp weapon to deal with ghosts.
He weighed the long sword wrapped in cloth in his hand again. It was full of evil spirit and military spirit, and it was extremely fierce.
Finally, he took a deep breath, and it took a full minute to stop.
Because his lungs were tempered by water vapor, he now has a long breath and abundant physical strength, and he is not short of breath.
I also reviewed how to deal with ghosts last night. Shen Shuibi said that he had no problem, so there must be no problem.
Chatting about some details along the way, soon, the group came to the outside of the city. After passing through the terraced fields of a village, they walked into a mountain.
Baiyue is very mountainous and is known as the "Hundred Thousand Mountains". There is almost no flat land, and even the fields can only be made into terraces and sloping fields, so this mountain does not look particularly strange.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the mountain is gathered. Although the situation is steep, the mountains are dancing and hanging down. When it comes to the flat land, there is water in front to converge, which is called the lower mountain water.
But Li Qi didn't know what this was for.
However, when Li Qi looked at it from the perspective of "qi", there was something.
The soil is bright and smooth, and the grass and trees are lush, which is the beauty of the land. There is a harmonious qi, big and small, and the lotus root is broken and the silk is connected. Its qi is prosperous, and the qi of Ji Na is full.
Like a container full of things, it is full and overflowing, which means that the qi stops gathering.
The qi of the root of the mountain and the qi of the water veins converge here, giving birth to a vitality.
It must be said that even if Li Qi can't see the mountains and rivers, he can still feel that this is a Feng Shui treasure land.
"My mother said that this piece of mountains and rivers fits the five elements, is a prosperous position for officials, has a long source and flow, and is rich and prosperous, so it was chosen here..." Wang Yuanwai explained at this time.
"Well, but let's set up the altar first. You stand farther away. In case of an accident, you can run away." Li Qi said.
Wang Yuanwai ran away immediately. He really saw accidents, so he was very afraid.
And Li Qi began to set up the altar.
An ancient book says: The Yue people are fond of ghosts, and ghosts are seen in their temples, and this method is often effective.
It means that the Yue people worship ghosts and gods, and they often see ghosts during sacrifices, so this method is often effective.
What are ghosts?
As a Zhu, Li Qi knows very well that ghosts are actually a kind of Qi.
The book Zhu records: "Now when you see stars in the sky, it is the stars; if it is not stars, it is Qi. People see ghosts as dead people, but in fact, it is Qi, not real dead people."
It means that when you see falling stars and leaving traces in the sky, it is not stars, but Qi, just like when people see ghosts, it seems that ghosts look like dead people, but in fact, it is Qi that makes them look like dead people, not real dead people.
That is to say, "A dead person cannot be seen by pretending to be a living person, and a living person cannot be seen by pretending to be a dead person's soul."
Now that the person is dead and his fur is decayed, even if the essence still exists, how can the spirit use this rotten body to move and appear? The dead cannot appear in the form of the living, just as the living cannot use the soul of the dead to make their own bodies disappear.
There is another saying: People are also things; things are also things. Things do not become ghosts after death, so why can people only become ghosts after death?
As the saying goes: "When the essence is exhausted, the body decays, and when it decays, it turns into dust. When the essence disappears, is it the same as having no ears and eyes? When it decays, it disappears, and it is desolate and disappears, so it is called ghosts and gods."
The meaning of this passage is that ghosts are actually a type of Qi. The reason why people are alive is Jing Qi. After death, Jing Qi is extinguished, but there will be other residues. When Jing Qi leaves the human body, it is not just with people. Is it the same as not having eyes and ears? When it decays, it will die and become something vague and invisible, so it is called "ghost".
Ghosts and people are not the same. When a person becomes a ghost after death, he is no longer the original person. A ghost is just a ball of debris and ashes.
Therefore, choose a powerful person with a high level of cultivation. He will still exist after death, retaining consciousness and memory, but it will no longer be the same thing as the original existence.
Dead, just dead, the ghost is no longer the same person.
