Chapter 68 Tofu and Opera Troupe (1/2)

"It is precisely because these elves are not in the real flow, and their methods of doing things are also all kinds of strange. Therefore, it is often only the little elves who can learn from the big elves, but it is not a system."

“The biggest advantage of this method is its flexibility.”

Taoist priest Simu was noncommittal, but seemed to be somewhat disapproving.

"There are many disadvantages. Whether it hurts your body or not depends on how much the Xian family is willing to do for you. If you two are compatible or have a good relationship, he will naturally restrain himself."

"But if it's just normal feelings, why would it care whether it would cause harm to you?"

"The so-called different paths between human beings and ghosts, and different paths between human beings and demons, are due to the difference in physical energy. Even our ancestors have to worry about their meridians being damaged by their divine power, let alone spirits like them that do not come from the same origin."

Lin Yu said: "In this case, isn't there no benefit at all? Is it just for the freedom of the mortal world?"

"That's right, in life, they have no control over their own actions. Even if they join the Immortal Family, they won't be free. But they finally gain some strength and the power to deal with the troubles outside the Immortal Family."

"The world is like a tide, and there are countless disasters. If you don't join the Immortal Family, you can only resign yourself to fate and follow the tide. Instead, you will be under the control of the Immortal Family, and you will only suffer as a family. Naturally, the choice is easy to make."

Taoist Priest Four Eyes is used to seeing the suffering in the world, and he also understands the various choices in the world.

Lin Yu also gradually realized this feeling.

The Dharma is rare, not to mention the righteous Dharma, even the evil Dharma is inaccessible to many people.

Some are useful, so what else should I choose?

Not everyone is as lucky as Lin Yu.

Not everyone is as lucky as Qiu Shengwencai.

“The other great thing is that there are no restrictions.”

"No limit?"

"That's right, there are no limits."

"In other words, don't set limits for yourself."

Taoist Priest Four Eyes explained: "Like our Maoshan method of inviting gods, even if we invite our own ancestors, the ancestors are willing to do their best to help their descendants, but they are not willing to help with everything."

"Just like parents in an ordinary family, children also need education if they want to do bad things."

"Master Patriarch will not help you do bad things, nor will he help you do things that go against the rules and regulations. He will even teach you a lesson."

"But those immortal families are different."

"Most of them are spiritually enlightened but have not yet been able to cultivate their human hearts. Sometimes their spiritual intelligence is unclear, they are prone to extremes, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil."

"As long as you pay a price to trade with him, I am willing to exchange for any kind of power. It doesn't matter whether you are killing people or stealing goods, or poisoning and cursing me."

"They are not afraid of the cycle of cause and effect, or they don't understand it yet."

"Even those immortals who are more profound in the Taoism may have some respect for the gods of heaven in the past, but it is more because of the rules set by the righteous people."

"They may be restrained, but it is just to avoid being surrounded and suppressed. The bottom line is naturally lower than that of our ancestors. Their disciples naturally have more freedom to use their power."

Lin Yu had questions at this time.

"Is there really a cycle of cause and effect? ​​Doesn't it mean that bad people don't need to be punished when they do bad things, and they just wait to see God repay them?"

Taoist priest Simu patted Lin Yu's head and said with a bad smile: "What are you talking about? We practitioners follow the way of nature, and naturally we should learn to worry about our talents. Why can't the cycle of cause and effect be applied to us? ?”

"Isn't our punishment a kind of cause and effect? ​​This is called doing justice for heaven."

Lin Yu smiled, always feeling that this was a crooked theory.

I'm afraid Simu doesn't fully believe in the cycle of heavenly principles, and such an idea is a bit rebellious.

Or you can't say that you don't believe it, but that they have desires in their hearts.

People with desires refuse to put their hopes in God because they are not practical.

So we can’t seek outside, we must seek within.

There is a desire to control.

Naturally, the cycle of cause and effect must be in one's own hands.

If anyone feels that he deserves retribution, it is best to give him retribution now.

Taoist Master Four Eyes thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that it was not entirely right for him to instill such thoughts into a nephew who had just started to practice Taoism.

He still said: "Maybe there were some in the past, but they have become less and less over the years. After all, even gods are hard to find, so how can we expect any natural cycle?"

Lin Yu sighed: "Whether you have feelings of heaven or not, you should think that you do in your heart. If people lose their sense of awe, they will be like wild horses that run loose, and demons will be born."

There was also a look of compassion on Si Mu's face.

There are gold belts for murder and arson, but there are no corpses for building bridges and paving roads.

Over the years, there have been more and more evildoers, but none of them has received retribution.

Those foreigners seemed not to be subject to Eastern rules, but even the Japanese pirates seemed to have lost their respect for heaven.

People's hearts are like ghosts, but in the end it is the people who suffer.

"So I don't seek immortality, I only talk about worldliness!"

Taoist Priest Four's eyes became determined and he clenched his fists.

Lin Yu also looked at him sideways.

My uncle seems to be too unimmortal.

Greedy for money, lazy, playful, and stingy.

Don’t talk about immortality, don’t talk about the great road.

After walking through this Xuanmen authentic sect, all that remains seems to be an impression as big as a fist.

"well……"

Let out a long sigh.

It did not alarm Lin Yu and Simu.

Uncle Jiu shook his head, looking melancholy.

We are living in troubled times, and it seems to be the end of the Dharma era. The suffering of people's livelihood can only be hidden in the bottom of their hearts.

Those who seek the Way will inevitably feel hesitant, and they are just taking one step at a time.

The state of China is smelly, and a layer of gray fog seems to be covering the sky and the earth.

People's hearts are numb and lifeless.

When will the red sun rise in the east and dawn break?

No one knows the answer.

Lin Yu's magic attack has not been officially completed.

"There's no need to rush now. I know you are very talented, but you can't really pray to God by practicing praying to God."

"When practicing in Maoshan, you must first burn incense and pray, put on talismans, and tell the gods in the sky that this is a disciple practicing and there is no need to respond. Otherwise, if you really invite people here and find that nothing happens, wouldn't you be fooling the gods? ?”

"When you practice, you have to do it hundreds of times a day. It's not good to make noise in people's ears over and over again."

"But if you don't respond, you won't know exactly where you are. If you practice it or not, it may not be effective when you actually use it."

"So when I first start practicing, it's best to find someone from my own family to try."

Taoist priest Simu said and became proud again.

It is comfortable to have the blessing of the ancestor.

"When we find an auspicious day, we will set up the altar, burn incense and pray, tell Grandmaster that you want to practice Shen Da, and ask Grandmaster to cooperate with you."

"When the time comes, you shout and the Patriarch will come. You can also practice and practice to see how to summon the gods most smoothly and how to control the divine power most smoothly."

"After testing it on our own ancestor, you will have experience if you want to invite other gods. You don't have to worry about your operation being wrong and making people unhappy or uncomfortable."

Lin Yu naturally nodded obediently.

"Uncle Master, we have quite a few disciples in Maoshan, right. If we bother the Grandmaster during practice, wouldn't that bother the Grandmaster?"

Lin Yu asked.

Taoist Priest Simu patted the back of Lin Yu's head, feeling even more proud.

"Haha, silly boy, why did you forget it again? Do you think our ancestor is just one person? Our Maoshan heritage has been here for many years, and we can still produce dozens of great virtues and great achievements."

"When the time comes, we will set up the altar and place the memorial tablets of our ancestors. There will always be dozens of ancestors who will have time to take a look at you. Let's burn incense and pray, and I will say good things for you and beg for mercy."

"In this way, when the Patriarch finds out that it's me, the Patriarchs who are familiar with me will naturally give me a face and open their eyes to see if you can do it."

"My four eyes are still very favored by the ancestor. For my sake, you will definitely succeed. You can rest assured that I am here! I think back when our brothers and sisters practiced Shen Da Da together, I was the only one who got it. I have won the favor of the three ancestors!”

The four eyes were extremely proud.

Lin Yu was naturally not disappointed either. He said a few nice words and flattered his uncle, making him happy.

Several more days passed.

Lin Yu practices hard every day.

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Master Simu also became increasingly busy.

A lot of things need to be prepared for a salvation ceremony.

Qiu Sheng Wencai also helped. Although Ren Tingting had not officially become a disciple, she was also busy and received some influence in metaphysics.

Just wait until the Dharma period is approaching, and the good days are getting closer.

Renjiazhen Yufa became lively.

A theater troupe was also invited from the provincial capital to set up a stage in Renjia Town and prepare to sing some favorite songs.

"It's obviously a religious ceremony, but why is it done like a temple fair? Is it just for the excitement of my apprenticeship?"

At the dinner table, Ren Tingting was puzzled.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Lin Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, come and explain to your junior sister."

Lin Yu put down his chopsticks and raised his head to speak.

But he was helpless to find that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also looked curious.

He rolled his eyes and was almost speechless for a moment.

My senior brother and my third junior brother have been urged by me to practice hard during this period. Because of the bonus of my own teachings, their progress has been faster.

Qiu Sheng has also developed his magic power.

But forcing these two guys to practice Qigong would cost them half their lives. Getting them to read the scriptures would be even more difficult than killing them.

Open the book and fall asleep when you see the words.

Even if Lin Yu whipped them with a cane and woke them up again and again, they could only take two or three breaths and immediately started to doze off again.

Even Lin Yu felt helpless.

Only a few months have passed, and Lin Yu not only has excellent cultivation talent, but also has the ability to completely crush them.

Even these experiences that should come with age, two people who are almost forty years old together do not know as much as Lin Yu, who is less than half a year old.

Even Uncle Jiu buried his head and took a mouthful of rice, feeling a little embarrassed.

The four-eyed Taoist priest looked on happily.

Especially when he saw Lin Yu, a little boy, giving lessons to three adults, the contrast made him never tire of it.

"The opera troupe we invited here is not singing for living people, but for those lonely ghosts to watch."

"For the lonely ghosts to see?"

The three of them shuddered at the same time.

Although they have already fought against zombies and evil spirits, even Akio Wencai feels a little scared when it comes to intangible evil things like ghosts.

When I think of the opera singer singing on the stage, there are a group of invisible ghosts listening to the opera.

That scene really made them shudder.

"The ghosts are dead, why are you watching the show?"

Qiu Sheng complained.

Lin Yu continued to educate these three people.

"We are doing this ritual to liberate lonely souls and wild ghosts. Lone souls and wild ghosts are all over the wilderness, so we can't catch them one by one."

"Of course we have to prepare something that can attract them."

"Some time ago, I asked Master Ren to prepare beans and grind them into tofu. This is because tofu belongs to the yin category and ghosts like to eat it most. A living person may barely smell some beany smell, but the smell of it to ghosts can almost reach ten miles away."

"The same goes for opera singers. The lively and exciting drama also makes these lonely ghosts who are difficult to reincarnate and wander in the world feel happy."

"There are both delicious food and good shows to watch. If it were you, wouldn't you like it?"

"like!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai nodded immediately.

Some eat and some play, they really like it.

"So we have to rely on these methods to attract them all and let them eat and have fun, so that they can appease their emotions."

"In this way, they will not have such strong resistance to salvation. Although salvation is a good thing for lonely ghosts like them, most of them are mentally ignorant and cannot distinguish the good intentions and bad intentions of others."

"Moreover, there is only a residual soul left, and there is no physical body to protect it. The spirit is exposed to the outside, easily affected by the evil spirits between heaven and earth, and the mood is unstable."

"So we must let their emotions stabilize first, otherwise if they start to riot, we will have no choice but to beat them to death."

"If we really achieve this step, although it is for a reason, they have gone crazy, and if there is no other way, even if they are eliminated, it will not damage the moral character, but after all, it is not in line with our original intention."

"So not only do we need to prepare tofu and opera troupes, but we also need to prepare paper money, paper figures, paper horses, and wreaths to make it lively and let them go to the underworld happily."

Ren Tingting nodded her chin and said with a smile:

"Oh, I understand. I didn't expect that there are so many details in it. Give the ghosts to eat tofu and watch a show for the ghosts. Hehe, I don't know who came up with this method. It's really ingenious."

Uncle Jiu said: "This is the experience gained by our predecessors over the years. Each one contains the efforts of many sages. You must learn it carefully after you get started."

As he spoke, he glared at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai again.

"Don't be like the two of them who are ignorant and unskilled, who enter the treasure mountain without knowing it and ruin things."

"It's Master! I will definitely study hard! Let Second Senior Brother be my role model!"

Ren Tingting raised her chest and raised her head strangely, as if she was swearing, but she pulled her little second senior brother into her arms with his head between his legs.

He stifled Lin Yu hard and made Lin Yu extremely annoyed.

People's emotions are mostly affected by some hormones.

Lin Yu is under his age. Even if you are an immortal, he will not be interested if you don't secrete that kind of hormone and will only find it annoying.
