Sword of Coming

Zeng Ye stumbled open the door that day, his face covered in blood.

Chen Ping'an was already standing outside the door. He helped him back to sit at the table and took out a bottle of elixir. It was not of high quality. It was an ordinary elixir from the secret storehouse of Qingxia Island. It was worth a small summer coin. It was usually from Dongfu. , Guanhai Realm monks purchased large quantities from the secret treasury, which was more than enough for a Third Realm Qi practitioner like Zeng Ye. A high-grade elixir with too much spiritual energy cannot be retained by lower five realm qi practitioners, nor can it be tempered and transformed into qi palace accumulation.

After Zeng Ye took the elixir, his face turned pale, he felt guilty, and almost cried, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I was impatient."

Chen Ping'an waved his hand and explained to the young man: "Things should not be taken to extremes. You are not actually in a hurry today, but it is one of the hurdles that you must grit your teeth to cross. You just failed to succeed, so with these few pills, I I don’t know how to keep accounts. The difference between greed for success and fear of difficulties must be clearly distinguished first, as well as the ‘keeping the middle’ Taoist heart that you should pursue. You must think clearly about it in the next process of practice. Otherwise Later, when you encounter a bottleneck in your practice, you will instinctively retreat and shrink back, which will only hinder your progress on the great path."

Zeng Ye wiped his face and said with a smile, "I remember it!"

Chen Ping'an said: "Remember, you have to think more, otherwise it will never become a step for you to go up. Since you admit that you are stupid, you have to think more about it. Smart people don't have to stop when they are stupid. When it comes to things, spend more time and endure more hardships.”

Zeng Ye nodded.

The logic is simple and understandable.

Chen Ping'an took off the sword gourd and took a sip of wine. He hesitated and said, "Only after you have tried your best and worked hard, will you be qualified to blame others."

If it were in the past, Chen Pingan would definitely say that he should not blame anyone but others.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an would never say such words again.

Chen Ping'an asked Zeng Ye to breathe in and out to heal his wounds and digest the spiritual energy of the elixir.

As soon as Chen Pingan stood up, he suddenly turned his head and looked around.

Zeng Ye followed Chen Pingan's gaze and saw that the lake view outside the window was bleak and nothing unusual.

Chen Pingan frowned and said, "Don't be distracted."

Zeng Ye immediately held his breath and concentrated.

Chen Pingan stood up and helped close the door. He hesitated for a moment and did not go to the ferry to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Instead, he returned to his house.

Take out the Palace of Hell from the bamboo box and throw in the snow coins.

The reason why fairy money can become fairy money is that the spiritual energy is pure and does not distinguish between yin and yang.

Monks can use it, and so can ghosts.

The Tao is impartial.

The four seasons rotate, birth, old age, sickness and death, Yin and Yang are separated, and time passes.

Chen Ping'an sat at the desk and opened an "account book" on the bank that was entirely filled with manuscript records.

He took out a secret elixir from the Pearl Hair Palace Water Palace, swallowed it gently, and then began to close his eyes and rest. When the spiritual energy slowly flowed into his own water palace, there was a slight surplus. Chen Pingan opened his eyes and looked again. After reading the names on the front page of the ledger, their hometowns, and life stories, this page records a total of nine people.

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, and then began to recite the magic formula silently in his heart. He pinched the sword formula with his fingers together, pointed at the Palace of Hell on the table, and used the ghost order to invite the nine ghosts with incomplete souls out.

Talismans and arrays have been posted in the house, forming a land of darkness suitable for ghosts to return to the earth and settle down.

The three talismans are the "Yunshui Town House Talisman" in the "Authentic Book of Alchemy". In the center of the talisman, there are the taboo words of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou in the Golden Book.

As well as the "cypress locust talisman", if the energy of the mansion is like fireworks and ghosts, it can be overwhelming or summoned, it all depends on the intention of the person who posted the talisman.

The last one is a talisman given by the monks of the Yin Yang family, called "Peach Wood as Nail Talisman". It can innately restrain the vicious nature of ghosts and ghosts, and try to restore their clarity of mind.

As for the formation that provides a "place to stand" for weak Yin creatures in the Yang world, he learned it from the immortal Yu Hui from Yuegou Island. For this purpose, Chen Ping'an asked helpers to move a huge bluestone from the bottom of the lake to the shore and cut it into a bluestone slab. , then engraved with characters, embedded in the ground, and paved as a floor. In addition, buried under the ground near the bluestone slab was the "Original Blessed Earth" entrusted to the monks of Qingxia Island to buy from other islands. Landfill in all directions.

Every time Chen Pingan reported a name and place of origin, a ghost would walk out of the Palace of Hell and stand on the blue stone slab that occupied half of the room.

These nine ghost figures all come from the two mansions of Qingxia Island's chief minister and senior brother Gu Can.

Previously, Chen Pingan had passed the secret method of ghost cultivation, and as the temporary owner of a Hell Palace, he also informed all the ghosts and ghosts in each room in the attic, telling them who he was and what his relationship was with Gu Can. , why do you want to do this here on Qingxia Island, and how will you do it in the future.

at this time.

Nine ghosts who died violently and suffered a lot after death.

There is anger, sadness, confusion, misery, hatred, suspicion, surprise, indifference, and fear.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Do you have any last wishes? Are there any unfinished things that you must do? For yourself, for your relatives, and for your teachers, I can say that I will try my best to help you fulfill your wishes."

In addition to piles of account books on the table, there are also sword-raising gourds used to refresh the mind, as well as six "fox-skin beauty" talisman paper figurines carefully crafted by Xu of Qingfeng Paper, which can allow evil objects to inhabit them, and the women's faces painted on them can be used to There is nothing wrong with walking in the world.

Chen Pingan paused for a moment, "If we trace the origin, I do owe you because I gave Gu Can that little loach as a gift to him. That's why I found you one by one and talked to you. In fact, I don't I owe you nothing, because the location where we are both is this lake of slips. Of course I have Buddhist cause and effect, but it is not big. The cause of suffering in this life and the previous life are the words of the Buddhist scriptures. If we follow Legalist knowledge, it is even more It has nothing to do with me. To follow the Taoist practice method, you only need to cut off the world of mortals, stay away from the world, and seek the Tao quietly. It shouldn't be like this. But I don't think this is right, so I will try my best."

No one spoke first.

In the house, the living and the dead fell into a long silence.

No matter what the mood and mentality of those ghosts are at the moment, when they look at the young man sitting behind the desk, the accountant they see in their eyes, the emotions they see in him are somehow different from the mood of the ghosts around them. There are different.

Like a mirror reflecting itself.

Joy and sorrow are intertwined.

A young girl with a cardigan suddenly said sternly: "I want you to pay for your life with one life, can you do it?!"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Of course we can't."

She said with a ferocious smile: "Then what kind of hypocrite and hypocrite are you?! You deserve to die. You should die with that bastard Gu Can, with your bones shattered and thrown away, without a burial place!"

Chen Pingan looked at her.

Her face was twisted, filled with deep hatred, and she rushed away. Just as she was about to rush out of the bluestone slab, she hit a wall and flew backwards. She fell and struggled to get up. She came to the invisible barrier and spread her fingers. , Maeng Ruo went crazy, and used his nails to cut the invisible threshold like crazy, "If I die, you won't have a good death either. You are acting coy here, and you deserve to die the most. You deserve to die even more than that guy Gu Can..."

She finally collapsed to the ground, sobbing.

Chen Pingan stood up, and on the bluestone board, the other eight figures took a step back almost simultaneously.

Chen Ping'an walked around the desk, came outside the bluestone slab, and squatted down.

She raised her head, "I just don't want to die, I just want to live. Is that wrong?"

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "No."

Chen Pingan sat cross-legged and said softly: "Your name is Bai Licao, your original name is Bai Mei'er. You were a monk in the Three Realms during your lifetime. You were born in Pingling Lane, Gusu County, Shihao Country. You had a child marriage. When you were fourteen years old, you were married to Qingxia. The monk from Dao Diao Fang found out that you had the qualifications to be a monk, so he bought you with your parents for three hundred taels of silver. Your parents finally changed their minds and wanted an extra three hundred taels of silver, but the monk bought you in front of you. She was killed on the spot. When she arrived at Qingxia Island, she was favored by the island's chief worshiper and adopted as a cardigan girl. You disliked the unpleasant name of Bai Mei'er, so you changed it to Bai Licao. For this reason, you still spent more flowers in the incense room. You bought twelve pieces of snow and spent money, and finally died under Gu Can's dragon retinue. The body was so miserable that you were so obsessed with it that you were able to save most of your three souls and six souls, and were kidnapped by Zhu Xian Mansion's ghost Xiu Ma Yuanzhi. , was imprisoned in a well, and wanted to train you into a ghost soldier. Then I took you out of the well and into the Palace of Hell."

She wiped away her tears and said, "You can do whatever you want with me, but if Gu Can doesn't die, I won't die in peace! Life or death, I will remember him Gu Can..."

Her eyes were determined, "And you! Don't you have great magical powers? You might as well beat me to death, then you can be out of sight and out of mind!"

Chen Pingan shook his head.

Stand up.

A young yin creature who was also born as a cardigan timidly said, "Even if I stay in the world as a yin creature, I am willing to do so. Also, can I not have to suffer the pain of soul torture in the future?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Okay. If you have any other wishes and you think of them, you can tell me."

She jumped for joy, looked graceful, and sent a blessing to Chen Ping'an.

A woman with an indifferent expression pointed at the Palace of Hell on the table and said, "I want to be reincarnated and never have to be detained in a ghost place like this again. Can I do it?"

Chen Ping'an said: "It's certainly not difficult to let you reincarnate, but I can't guarantee that you will be reincarnated as a human being, especially whether you will enjoy happiness in the next life. I can only guarantee that you will be able to do the same thing as you. I will choose the Yin objects and hold a Taoist Zhoutian Dajiao and a Buddhist water and land ashram to help you pray for blessings. In addition, there are some mountain rules that try to increase your blessings. I will also do the same, such as going to war-torn places in your name. There are many things I can do to open porridge shacks in Shihao Country to help refugees."

She was stunned for a moment, then seemed to change her mind, "I'll think about it again, okay?"

Chen Ping'an hummed, "Of course."

She suddenly asked: "Do you also know what my name is?"

Chen Pingan said softly: "I know, and I also know that many of the Spring Festival couplets in less important places in the mansion were written by you. I went to find them specially. Unfortunately, the couplets now renamed Spring Courtyard have been replaced with new ones. ”

She burst into tears.

Chen Pingan said: "I'm sorry."

She was silent and just cried.

One of the earliest and most frightening ghosts was a middle-aged handyman who habitually bent down when talking to others. He said in a trembling voice: "Master Immortal, my name is Jia Gao. I don't know the villain's name." It doesn't matter, let alone remember, I just want to be able to go to the graves of my parents to offer incense, but it's a bit far away. It's not in Shihao Country, but in Chunhua Country, a small vassal country of Zhuying Dynasty. If the gods find it troublesome, forget it, I As long as the immortal master can really open the Zhoutian Dajiao and the water and land dojo, and help us accumulate some moral virtue and reincarnate smoothly, I won't blame Gu Can."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I know where you are from, Chunhua Country will also go there, and I will invite you out when the time comes."

Jia Gao suddenly burst into tears, bent down and thanked him: "The cost of visiting the grave was wasted by the gods. I can only pay it back when I have the opportunity in my next life."

Chen Pingan turned around and picked up the sword-raising gourd, took a sip of wine, and then walked back to the distance, "Is that it? Is that all?"

The middle-aged man wiped his face with his vagina and said, "That's enough!"

Chen Pingan's lips moved slightly, his face was tense, and he said nothing.

Suddenly another demon rubbed his hands and laughed. It was a strong man, and he said flatteringly: "Master Immortal, I don't ask for reincarnation, and I don't dare to ask Master Immortal to do those strenuous things. I just have a small wish, and I don't want to be reincarnated." Spending a piece of snow money on the immortal master will not distract the immortal master in the slightest."

Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Zhao Shi, tell me."

The young man in charge of the former Spring Court House glanced at the girls around him and grinned: "My only wish is to stay in the Immortal Mansion owned by the Immortal Master. , and then, you can continue to take care of a few cardigan girls as you did when you were alive, but now, you think about it a little more, thinking that you can visit their residences and do some... men's things, alive At that time, I could only take a few peeks, but I didn’t dare to get enough of it. I beg the gods to show mercy today, okay? If not... I really won’t die in peace.”

The first girl to speak, a girl named Bai Licao, had a sneer on her face.

Chen Pingan nodded, twitching the corners of his lips, "Okay. It's a small matter."

The man bowed his head and said, "The immortal master is wise."

Chen Ping'an didn't need to look through the account book and said slowly: "Zhao Shi, like his ancestors, was born in Qingxia Island and was the former second-class steward of Denghua Mansion. In addition to controlling the food, clothing, housing, transportation and salary of more than a dozen cardigan girls, he also paid There are two opportunities to leave Shujian Lake and go to the inner and surrounding areas of Shihao Kingdom to find handyman disciples for Denghua Mansion on Qingxia Island. According to the records of the secret file of Incense Room, there is only one thing about your life and deeds, and it is probably you. The greatest achievement in your previous life was that you once had a conflict with a foreign female cultivator in Yunlou City. With your reputation and connections on Qingxia Island, you asked the local monks in Yunlou City to humiliate her to death and throw her body into the lake."

The man looked embarrassed and said, "I taught the gods a joke."

Chen Pingan stepped into the bluestone slab, reached out and held the neck of the vagina, and said expressionlessly: "A joke? I don't think it's funny."

Chen Pingan's five fingers clenched his neck tightly, and the man's vagina felt like it was being cooked in a pan. He wailed in pain, "Chen Pingan! You don't mean what you say! I curse you..."

Chen Ping'an raised his arm and hung it in the air, preventing the dying creature from saying another word, and said slowly: "Forget it, in the next life, you will be able to deal with that young woman who traveled far away from Yunlou City. Just like a cultivator, just reincarnate yourself into a good fetus. As for whether you still have this chance after your soul is gone, I don’t care. By the way, do you still remember the name of the female cultivator? I remember her name was Wei Qingyu. "

The evil object in Chen Ping'an's hand turned into ashes and scattered in all directions.

Chen Pingan exited the bluestone slab, coughed a few times, walked back to the desk, and looked at the bluestone slab.

There was a man and a woman, who at first were secretly happy and suspicious, but for some unknown reason, they began to kneel down and kowtow.

An hour later.

Chen Pingan opened the door and walked out of the house.

Zeng Ye was already standing at the door, saw his figure, turned around and said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, it's snowing! Heavy snow! It's the first heavy snowfall in our Shujian Lake this year."

But Zeng Ye quickly shut up, feeling a little annoyed.

For a great monk like Mr. Chen.

If it doesn't snow in the world, what's the point of whether it snows heavily or lightly?

Chen Pingan raised his head.

Hand sleeves.

It's snowing heavily.

But when the snow melts, it is the coldest time. After the snow melts, the roads will become even more muddy.
