The Exorcist - v8 Chapter 23
“Azhan, have you carefully seen the evil spirit on your father?” Uncle Bao asked.
Ruan Zhan thought for a while, “He went to Tietou Mountain to vent his evil spirits through the place where spirits are not naturally gathered, but it should have no effect. I feel that the evil spirits on his body are even worse than when we encountered it last time. At that time, he could still suppress the evil spirit and not show it outside, so I didn’t see it at all. It was sensed by the Blood Wood Sword. But this time—it’s already obvious.” He thought of the black cloud next to his father, and felt a pain in his heart. .
“Other than that, did you find anything else?” Uncle Bao asked again.
Ruan Zhan shook his head. He was a little puzzled for a while. He didn’t understand what Uncle Bao meant? Is there any other secret in his father?
“It’s a pity that you have a natural instinct, but you don’t want to take a closer look at your father. Didn’t you realize that the evil spirit on his body is not a kind, and it is pulled by him to prevent it from dissipating too quickly?” He said so deeply. , Several juniors were taken aback.
“No—to dispel the evil spirit? Why are you holding on?” Xiao Xia asked everyone’s questions.
Uncle Bao did not answer, but looked at Ruan Zhan. Ruan Zhan lowered his head and tried to recall the scene of the meeting with his father that day. He has been unwilling and dare not to take a closer look. Today, under Uncle Bao’s reminder, he thought about it seriously, and suddenly his heart beats wildly, unable to tell. What is the specific thing, is that something is wrong!
He glanced at Uncle Bao, and Uncle Bao nodded, “Yes, there is more than one kind of evil spirit on your father’s body. Now I will tell you why. You must think that he has the aura of a person with great evil. It must have done something bad, why no one thought about it, he did it because he did something good?”
“Good deeds?” Bao Datong said anxiously, “Did my uncle be injured by something evil when he did good? Or did he get into trouble while fighting?”
“Let me tell you a legend first!” Uncle Bao said suddenly.
Both Bao Datong and Xiaoxia are impatient. I am impatient to listen to some stories at this time, but Uncle Bao didn’t give them a chance to object at all, and he has slowly said it out.
“There is a suffering Buddha in Buddhism. I wonder if you have heard of it. His Dharma image is very ugly, and he has been frowning. Few people are willing to worship him, but in order to save the world, he bears all the suffering of the world on his own. Body. Even if you haven’t heard of this Buddha. Then Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has always heard of it? The jade amulet on Xiaoxia’s neck is his statue. He once said. As long as there is a resentful soul in hell, he You will never leave **** and never become a Buddha. These are very great spiritual sentiments, very compassionate, this is also great love, loving the world is the world. But there is a legend, I think that person is even greater. He glanced at the four juniors and continued: “In the legend, all evil under the sky will be collected by righteous qi, locked in a place like a huge container, waiting for the two qi of heaven and earth to direct or refine the evil gas. . But because the destructive power of’evil’ is too great. The container will be damaged once every few hundred years. At this time, many practitioners need to work together to trap the evil gas for a while, and then wait for the container to be repaired naturally. Put them in it.
In this kind of reincarnation that the world does not know, the struggle is very fierce, not as easy as I said, it is always accompanied by heavy casualties of the practitioners, and sometimes because of the power of evil. The strength of the spiritual practitioner is too weak, which leads to the failure of embarrassment. At this time, this invisible evil will flow into the world, invade people’s souls, make people cruel and ferocious, induce people to be evil, or cause war, until the lives of the people are destroyed and the people are not living. I don’t know what year it was. This container was going to be broken again, but at that time, because of the failure of the last evil operation, not only did evil invade the world, but also sacrificed most of the people with cultivation skills. After so many years, there is no Recovery, so this operation still seems unsuccessful. And if you fail twice in a row, it will definitely make the world unable to bear the repeated attacks of evil, and the fragile things such as kindness and beauty will be wiped out!
In order to solve this problem, all the Buddhists and Taoists who have cultivation bases, even some spirits and monsters with thoughtful benevolence, gathered together, trying to find a solution. But everyone has made all the efforts, but it still has no effect. Some people are willing to sacrifice their own cultivation base and life, or even willing to wipe out to save the world. Seeing that the container of embarrassment was about to break, one of them finally figured out a way to divide and eat. He stunned the friend who was guarding the container, and opened a small slit in the container to let the evil air slowly escape. He just waited, and as soon as the bad breath came out, he led to Zi, and took part of the bad breath with himself as a container. In this way, the power of evil is divided into two parts, and the power of each part is greatly weakened. As long as other Daoists deal with it separately, they will surely survive this disaster.
He knew that even though his cultivation base was the deepest, after enduring these evil spirits, his xinxing was still corroded by the evil spirits, so he would lose himself instantly, and a good group of masters would become a demon. After that, he must ensure that other people kill him with the cruelest means and destroy his soul, so that he can die with that evil spirit. Death is not terrible for practitioners, the soul is scattered, and for those who are dedicated to eliminating demons and defending the way, some people can do it, but what he has to endure is a greater sacrifice.
Other sacrifices, someone will always know, some will be grateful, and some will remember, and no one will understand his sacrifice, he can only get hatred, ridicule, and contempt. He did not die as a hero, but as a demon scolded by the world. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is great because he is willing to bring light to the grieving ghosts; the suffering Buddha is great because he is willing to endure any sorrow and pain for mankind. Although they sacrificed for the world without asking for any return, they got the world. His respect and admiration have been truly worshipped and appreciated by the world. But what about him? He is dead, and there is no trace of his soul left, but no one knows the sacrifices he made. He saved the world with his own power, but he will be remembered by future generations as a bad guy who was devoured by evil because of evil thoughts in his heart. , Or forget it at all!
And the moment he introduced evil spirits into himself, the evil spirits melted into his soul. If he becomes a demon, other daoists can beat him to death. For him, it is lucky, but if the daoists are not strong enough to completely eliminate him, then his soul will fall into the hell. Suffering never-ending pain. And these, no one will know that even he himself has lost his will, and never knows his relatives. Don’t know friends. Become a demon who has no heart and suffered in hell.
Before doing this, he carefully considered every detail and understood the consequences of doing so, but he cherished an unparalleled compassionate heart, so he willingly made sacrifices without asking for rewards, gratitude or gratitude. learn. I would rather save thousands of people for the sake of slandering and misunderstanding other people in the world, losing themselves, carrying infamy, and becoming a demon! “
At this point, Uncle Bao’s throat was blocked, and the four juniors were also sighed, and Xiao Xia’s tears also fell, “What happened afterwards? Was he just wronged like that?”
“He thought so. He did the same, but he was accidentally discovered by his close friends. After drinking and chatting with his friends, he erased his memory when his friends were unprepared, and then he did not hesitate to follow the plan. That night, just before he became a demon, he exhausted his efforts to awaken other fellow daoists, including his friends, and performed a good show of evil people’s hearts. Then he was greeted by fellow daoists as he wished. Killing. Everyone called him a hypocrite, and usually misunderstood his character, and it was God’s will to induce evil to his upper body and make other people troubled and successful. No one knew what he did for this. It’s just that. There are too few masters of this generation with cultivation bases. Even if he used the strategy of sharing and eating, those people still failed to completely eliminate the evil spirits from him, and he continued to suffer in Hell afterwards.”
“What about now? Is he still suffering? Is that just one person wronged?” Xiao Xia asked again.
“Stupid boy, this story can be passed down. It must be his friend who recovered his memory later, otherwise how do we know? Although we don’t know his name, at least we know his story. As for whether he is still infinite Suffering in hell, I don’t know.”
“What does this have to do with my father?” Although Ruan Zhan was immersed in the story like everyone else, experiencing the great personality of the man in the legend, after all, he was relatively clear-headed, and he immediately thought of his father. Why did Uncle Bao tell this story? Why did he say that his father had difficulties? Why did they all misunderstand his father? Did my father do the same thing?
Uncle Bao groaned, “Azhan, your father never told you, my relationship with him is the same as you and Wanli, friends from childhood. Do you know what he likes the most? Snow. It’s not because when it’s snowing, everything in the world is covered with silver, but because snow can purify everything. The ugly becomes beautiful, the dirty becomes fresh, and finally the snow turns into black muddy water. , Take away the filth in this world. He has a snow-like character since he was a child, and he did that when he grows up. Although he is practicing Taoism, he has the compassion of Buddhism. I think you should understand what I mean.”
Upon hearing these words, Ruan Zhan’s shock was indescribable, as did the other three people. However, although my father became evil for doing good, although he has great compassion, what is the cause of the matter?
“When did he start? Couldn’t it be that container leaked?” Ruan Zhan asked.
Uncle Bao smiled bitterly, “That’s just a legend, but your father did come here to suppress evil and promote good. You know, his master, Sima Nan, is a Daoist obsessed. If it weren’t for his obsession with Daoist skills, he He would be a pretty good person. It can be seen that if you are too attached to one thing, people’s xinxing often changes. This is completely contrary to the Taoist concept of nature. However, this is a far cry. I want to say that because he is obsessed. In Daoshu, he has searched around for lost or taboo books on Daoshu, so his collection is very rich. One of these books is about absorbing and dissolving the breath of others or spirits, and transforming them into Of your own spiritual power.
However, he may know that it is harmful. Sima Nan has not practiced this kind of magic, but he is too addicted to Taoism, and people have become more and more unreasonable, and he has even shown a very evil side in him. Tianyi, like Ah Zhan, was an orphan since he was a child, so he respected Sima Nan as much as his father. Seeing Master became like this, he suddenly remembered this book. He wants to eliminate the evil from Master, and in the troubled times, he hopes to collect all the hungry ghosts and bring peace to the world. But he didn’t know that the book was incomplete, and the latter part was speculated by Sima Nan himself. After he practiced this technique, he sucked away the stray spiritual power from his body in time when Sima Nan went into trouble again during his practice, which saved Master’s life, but at the same time destroyed the success of Master’s years of practice. Therefore, The two masters and disciples turned against each other. Therefore, this is the reason that Sima Nan’s later mana is far less than God’s will.
After realizing the flaws of this spell, Tianyi wanted to stop practicing. He is also born with good ability, so the harm of the spell cannot cause absolute harm to him. But his person is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, his heart is extremely soft, he has a compassionate heart to save the world, and he constantly encounters injustices, so this harmful technique has never stopped using it. . Later, during the Cultural Revolution, he was forced to return to the vulgar. It was an era of concentration and chaos, and many grievances and ghosts lingered in the world. These grievances are fierce and heavy, and they cannot be resolved one by one. At this time, God’s will no longer cares about his own safety, knowing that if this continues, he will be bitten by the unresolvable evil, and he will end up on the same level as the person in the legend. , But he just couldn’t bear to let it go, constantly surpassing the painful people and souls, and finally forced himself into this field. He helped too many people, but in the end no one could help him! “
“Is this why he gave birth to me?” Ruan Zhan asked.
“No, you were not in this story at the beginning.” Uncle Bao glanced at Ruan Zhan sympathetically. He was so soulless, he had never thought of giving birth to a son to bear his own suffering! But then he discovered that those bad angers could not be sold by himself, and because he had inhaled too much, the bad anger had already become stronger than his own power. It’s the same scene as the great man in the legend. Using his body as a container to trap the evils in the world, there must be the same kind of external force to break the container and the contents of the container together, so as not to make him difficult. The trapped evil will return to the world. You must know that the return of evil will cause greater harm.”
“So he wants me to be the one who broke the container.” Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth.
