burning lamp

Chapter 45

Jiang Chen also looked over, and said, "Although the evil spirit is heavy, it is not carried by him. It is probably a mortal who is entangled by evil spirits."

Xie Fengshu was originally looking worriedly at the figure leaving the city, but when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Jiang Chen.

"What evil?"

Jiang Chen replied, "Evil ghost."

"Lonely ghosts who died in the wilderness and couldn't return home. Due to depression in their hearts, they gathered into evil spirits. When they met mortals passing by, they would entangle them, wear down the soul of the other party, and wait for the opportunity to seize the body and be reborn."

Xie Fengshu was stunned, and asked after a while: "Then will that person die just now?"

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at Xie Fengshu, but the other party still didn't understand the reason for not showing his expression, his face was full of worry.

Jiang Chen felt the demonic aura of the visitor earlier than Xie Fengshu, and he could easily see the cause and effect of the other party by turning sideways.But he didn't answer Xie Fengshu, only asked: "Don't you want him to die?"

Xie Fengshu immediately replied, "Of course not."

Jiang Chen said: "Then go and have a look."

Xie Fengshu promised Suiling not to cause trouble, and went home immediately after buying something, but at this moment he only hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

What if that person really died?

Lu Qiwu has always felt that his three apprentices are talented and intelligent, as long as they practice hard, they might become great demons one day, or even become immortals.But Lu Qiwu also taught the three apprentices very seriously that the way of cultivation is to study hard and practice hard, and you must never follow crooked ways, let alone harm others. Such evil monsters will be punished by heaven, and their souls will be scattered.

When Lu Qiwu said this, his expression was extremely serious, and Xie Fengshu also remembered it seriously for many years.

Xie Fengshu and Jiang Chen were not slow, they had only been out of the city for a while, and they had already seen the figure of the man.

The other party seemed to be in a panic, and did not notice that there were two more people behind him, and they entered the mountain with the paper money in their arms.The two followed each other into the mountain not too far away, and went deep into the forest.

The mountains are deep and the forests are dense, and it is difficult to leak the skylight, making it look a little gloomy and terrifying.The man just kept going forward, and almost tripped over the branches and vines on the ground several times.He finally stopped when he came to a slightly open mountain area.

So Xie Fengshu and Jiang Chen also stopped behind, watching the commoner man in front of him knelt on the ground, dumped the paper money in the package on the ground, and ignited all of them, almost burning his clothes.He took a few steps back in a hurry, then bent down and kowtowed.

He kowtowed heavily, blood was seen after a few strokes, but he didn't stop for a moment, and he kept muttering: "Forgive me, I really have to, I will be your cow and horse in the next life..."

Xie Fengshu didn't understand what was going on in front of him, he just felt the cold wind blowing around him, he held the knife at his waist with extreme vigilance, and didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

It was just such a moment, and there was a sudden change in front of him.

The fire of the pile of burning paper money suddenly became bigger, the raging fire was almost as tall as an adult, and the color of the flame also turned into a faint blue, sweeping towards the man in an instant!

The man cried and backed away in panic, but he couldn't dodge it in time. Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the fire, Xie Fengshu didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped forward and dragged the man back to avoid the flames, and looked down again. People have fainted from fright.

But at this moment, a pale hand stretched out from the flames, it seemed that it could not feel the pain of the burning fire, and it came straight to Xie Fengshu's face.

Xie Fengshu could only push the person to Jiang Chen behind him, and said loudly: "Take this person away!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Fengshu drew his saber and slashed at the green will-o'-the-wisp in front of him.

Although Xie Fengshu usually hides and acts coquettishly, but he is an apprentice taught by Lu Qiwu, the big demon of Xumi. He is more than enough to deal with a ghost. The flame in front of him fell, and the flame immediately fell, revealing a pale figure behind him.

Sha Gui's whole body was pale, as thin as if it had only a skeleton, and the sound of bones rubbing and colliding could be heard with a slight movement, only a pair of eyes accounted for almost half of his facial features, staring at Xie Fengshu with extreme resentment.

Xie Fengshu was not afraid at all, just looked at the other party and said loudly: "Even though it is evil, you should not hurt others at will. You should repent and I will spare your life."

Shagui sneered coldly, not paying attention to the young boy in front of him, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, hoarse and unpleasant: "Since you saved that person, I can only use your body."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw himself on Xie Fengshu's neck, intending to bite off Xie Fengshu's throat!

Xie Fengshu's spirit was so high that he didn't dodge, he raised his saber and slashed up to the evil ghost!

The long knife pierced the wind, rolled up a little flame that had not yet faded, and slashed at the evil spirit in front of him. The evil spirit retreated to dodge the knife, Xie Fengshu turned his wrist to strike again, and the evil spirit actually held it with one hand. Xie Fengshu's blade, one hand pinches Xie Fengshu's neck.

Xie Fengshu's saber was instantly surrounded by blue will-o'-the-wisps, he subconsciously drew the saber without moving, and when he raised his eyes again, the opponent was already in front of him.

Before his hand reached Xie Fengshu's neck, he was suddenly stopped by someone from the side.

Jiang Chen didn't hold the opponent to death, he didn't even seem to use any force, he just clasped the ghost's wrist with his fingers up and down, and it was difficult for the ghost to move because of this.

He raised his head to look at the monk in front of him in some horror, Xie Fengshu seized the opportunity, drew his saber and turned around to slash again, worrying that Jiang Chen would be hurt by the saber's force, he said loudly: "Get out of here!"

Jiang Chen let go of his hand and let Xie Fengshu take the knife.

Xie Fengshu's saber style is sharp and straightforward, never sloppy, although it is not as powerful as the ancient one, but it is a bit more youthful, within dozens of strokes, the long saber has already pierced the chest of the ghost.

The evil ghost let out a shrill scream, dark sticky blood flowed from the wound, exuding the smell of rotting corpses, fell to the ground and struggled for a while before moving, turning into a shriveled corpse.

Xie Fengshu gasped slightly, turned around and returned to Jiang Chen's side, and still had the strength to teach him a lesson: "What are you rushing out of nowhere for? What if you get hurt?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, but decided to change the subject: "You saved a person."

Xie Fengshu's eyes suddenly lit up, a little embarrassed and a little proud.

Jiang Chen looked at him and spoke suddenly.

"The evil spirit you killed just now is called Li Qingsheng, and the man on the ground is called Song Shi. Three months ago, Song Shi went to the mountains to gather medicine, saw Li Qingsheng passing by, and killed him on the spur of the moment. Li Qingsheng exposed his corpse in the wilderness and became a evil spirit."

He looked at Xie Fengshu and asked, "Now do you still think that the evil ghost should be killed?"

Xie Fengshu didn't expect him to say these things, and stared at him blankly, as if he was already stupid.

Jiang Chen continued to ask: "Song Shi killed people for money because of his mother who was blind and bedridden at home. He supported his mother for decades and tried his best, and his family was completely destitute. Without Li Qingsheng's money, his mother might not be alive. But half a month.

"Xie Fengshu, should Song Shi be saved?"

Jiang Chen seemed to be asking Xie Fengshu, but he seemed to be asking himself.

In the ancient times, Yinglong saved the world from demons, should he live?

After entering demons and killing gods and immortals, should we kill them?

All living beings in the world, gods, Buddhas, and mortals all call Jiangchen a Buddha, and they can glimpse past and present lives, reincarnation cause and effect at a glance.Jiang Chen, on the other hand, sees too much the entanglement of good and evil, sees the law of karma in everything, and a heart becomes a heavy stone.

The original astonishment on Xie Fengshu's face turned into bewilderment at this moment. He looked at Jiangchen, as if he didn't understand what the other party said, but he couldn't believe it.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong, looking at the person in front of him in a daze, and slowly, Jiang Chen saw Xie Fengshu's eyes turn red.

Jiang Chen's heart made of stone suddenly softened, he thought: Why should I embarrass him with my own confusion, he is just a half-grown child in this life.

So Jiang Chen slowed down his voice and continued: "Li Qingsheng has entered the demon barrier. You killed the evil spirit today and broke the obsession. He can still be reincarnated. If you don't kill him, he will use Song Shi's body to kill indiscriminately. Innocent, he endangered the world, and was finally punished and killed by the Taoist cultivator of eliminating demons, and he was not allowed to be reborn.

"As for Song Shi, if you rescued him today, after three days, some hunters will pass by here and report to the police after finding Li Qingsheng's body. Within half a month, the real culprit will be found out, and he will be executed in autumn after three rounds of interrogation."

Jiang Chen looked at Xie Fengshu, probably because of guilt, and his voice was rarely gentle.

"The world is like an illusion, and the results of karma have already been divided. Whether you and I get through or not is just a matter of life."

Xie Fengshu listened carefully to what he said, and after a long silence, he sniffed and said in a low voice, "I'm going back to the Mirror Stage, Master and the others must be waiting impatiently."

After all, he was still angry, angry and wronged, both angry at himself and Jiang Chen, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he blurted out: "I don't want to talk to you anymore, I want to go back."

Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, and replied, "Okay."

The two ignored Song Shi on the ground and headed towards Mount Sumeru.The direction to go home is the direction where the ghost's corpse is. Xie Fengshu didn't want to go on the same road with Jiang Chen, so he rushed forward a few steps, looked down and saw the bloody corpse of the ghost again, the dark blood had solidified, It looked terrible.

Xie Fengshu stopped, stood there for a while, then turned around and rushed to Jiang Chen's side, covering his eyes with his hands.

Before Jiang Chen realized what had happened, he saw a figure in a scarlet robe approaching him, with one hand covering his eyes with warmth, covering everything in front of him, only missing something between his fingers. Let out a little light.

"Pull me, I'll take you away, don't look." Xie Fengshu's voice was still a little hoarse, because of anger and grievance, but he still covered Jiang Chen's eyes, and said, "Master said monks can't see this."

Killing, and blood.

After a long time, Jiang Chen gently raised his hand, held the hand in front of his eyes, and followed Xie Fengshu forward step by step.

He couldn't see his surroundings, nor could he see Xie Fengshu's expression, he could only feel the continuous heat coming from his hand, and hear Xie Fengshu's voice suddenly sounded in the silence.

"Even if I knew this earlier, I would have saved him just now."

His voice was still muffled, but there was a stubbornness in it: "You said that the karma is settled, he killed someone, and he deserves to die, but if I stand by and do nothing when I see him being killed by the evil spirit, then what is the difference between me and him?" What if one day not one person is saved, but all sentient beings are saved, and because a few of them have committed evil, will all the common people in the world be allowed to die?

"Master always said don't lose your way—never bow to what you think is right, even if you want me to die or go to hell, this is my way."

The author has something to say: This chapter has been hesitating for a long time but still hasn’t been revised. It’s released, and I’m worried that some readers will think “Why is Gong so like this”/“Why is Shou like this”, but this is what I originally wanted to write, the Buddha with a cold heart, A monster who sticks to his own way, but the personalities of the two people will definitely affect each other and change later, especially Jiang Chen, take your time. (The meaning of saying so much is not to scold my sons QAQ, humble!)
