The mage in the city wants to practice Taoism

"The ghosts mentioned by Taoist friends should refer to the kind derived from folk myths combined with Buddhist concepts since the Song Dynasty: after death, the soul will have a clear consciousness and go to the so-called underworld. The kind of ghost that is punished by the so-called judges, Yama and other evil gods based on what they did during their lives, and is either sent to the eighteenth level of hell, or reincarnated...?"

"It's impossible for such a ghost to exist."

The Taoist originally spoke calmly, but his eyes gradually became confused.

"The theory of cause and effect was not directly related to good, evil, and retribution at first. Later, the theory of cause and effect for good and evil was originally a theory of peace for the people. I don't know why it was forcibly combined with the theory of past and present lives and evolved into a theory of fooling the people... ..”

The Taoist withdrew his thoughts and his eyes became clear and clear again.

"The legendary ghosts are formed from the soul, but when the soul leaves the body, it is like rootless duckweed and a lamplight without oil. It cannot even think independently, and it cannot last forever. When a person dies, he is dead! It is gone. ! If you still want your soul to live forever or even be reincarnated and live a second life, wouldn’t that be different from a god?”

"Before I sealed off the cave and entered samadhi, I lived in this world for five hundred years and never saw ghosts or gods!"

Xun Shouyan silently bowed to the Taoist, then looked at Xi Mengxiu and explained:

"Have you ever heard of so-called ghosts on Mr. Bao's platform?"

Seeing Xi Mengxiu nodding, everyone on Mr. Bao's side looked understanding.

Cang Mu was shocked by Xi Mengxiu's healing effect. His eyes were shining with regretful memories, and it took him a while to calm down. At this time, he stared at Xi Mengxiu with bright eyes:

"Xi Mengxiu, don't be confused. The ghosts people mention in today's paranormal events are just obsessions or evil things that exist in special environments. Even if they are obsessions, apart from the point of persistence, there is actually nothing Clear logic and awareness.”

Xi Mengxiu thought for a while, looked up at the Taoist and asked:

"Senior, you said that the soul cannot last forever, so how long can the soul exist after being separated from the body?"

The Taoist was silent for a while and then said:

"The First Emperor sought immortality. There was an alchemist who claimed to have the Tao and could see the soul in a mirror. He claimed that he could live forever, so he chopped off his body, deprived his soul, and looked at it with a mirror. On the forty-fifth day, the soul was not known. In the seventh month, the soul was revealed. The gods are crazy, crazy and foolish in the ninth month, and pass away in the end of the year.”

This seems to be a record, and the Taoist has not explained the source.

"Later, some alchemists studied the method of mirroring the gods and discovered that after the death of ordinary people's body, the soul wanders unconsciously and will completely dissipate within seven days. Those who are transcendent from the ordinary are what we call extraordinary people today. Their souls are sublimated and condensed. And it has a mysterious and inexplicable bond with the physical body, which can be called the soul. It can exist for one or two months after leaving the body, and the consciousness can exist for three to seven days. However, if the physical body dies, the mind will become faint within two or three days, and time will not pass. It will dissipate if it takes a long time. The soul will sublimate again and become the Yuanshen. If the Yuanshen does not have a physical body as its foundation, it can barely have some self-awareness, but it will slowly lose its self-awareness, and eventually it will be difficult to escape and dissipate!"

Everyone felt chills in their hearts after hearing this, but the record of unknown origin was okay. But then the method that the alchemist studied... was a proper human experiment! I don’t know how many people have been harmed! It's no wonder that the experimental results of the Yuanshen are vague. Those who have cultivated the Yuanshen are all of extraordinary strength, so it is not easy to form reliable experimental results.

"My soul has been tempered, and now I can only be able to leave the body for hundreds of miles and more than ten days without losing consciousness."

Xi Mengxiu looked at the Taoist for a while and then said:

"Senior, then you are dead!"

Everyone on the Bao Zong side came to pay attention. The Taoist said warmly with a smile in his eyes:

"I know, I have always known. So, I hope that after I die, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist monks can take care of A Yuan when necessary."

Finally, he said it. Xi Mengxiu's behavior, cultivation and character when he entered the cave twice were in line with the Taoist's wishes. Of course, Xi Mengxiu's strength was also an important factor.

"A Yuan is so powerful, he doesn't need anyone else to look after him."

Xi Mengxiu’s eyes flickered.

"Fellow Taoist is joking. The progress of the times is the progress of mankind as a whole. Extraordinary beings like us have actually been surpassed by the times. A Yuan's thousand-year-old body will be turned into coke under a cloud explosion bomb!"

"You even know about cloud bombs?"

Then you still let me take care of you? How many cloud bombs do you think I can withstand?

Xi Mengxiu glanced at Bai'er with pale eyes, and then stared at the Taoist. The Taoist looked at Xi Mengxiu with a smile in his eyes and said nothing.

"Senior, do you know how to protect the boss when traveling in a fugue?"

Cang Mou said aloud.

"Senior's ability and Dragon Turtle's power are worse than cooperating with Mr. Bao for the time being."

After Cang Miao finished speaking, he stared at the Taoist and inadvertently glanced at Bai Er from the corner of his eye.

Bai Er took a step lightly:

"Since seniors know the progress of the times, with the current medical and technological methods, there is still hope."

Cang Mou: "Taiping Dao has the goal of rejuvenating the country and bringing peace to the people. I wonder if it has any hope in today's era?"

Yeah! We have been silent for a long time, which makes you, the boss, seem to be supporting roles. You are the protagonists, okay?

Xi Mengxiu took two steps back silently and glanced at the dome of the cave from the corner of his eyes.

The Taoist looked at Xi Mengxiu's behavior, a smile flashed in his eyes, and something like a book slowly flew out of his arms.

"That's fine. Then this Qingling book will be given to Mr. Bao as my gift."

Certificate of application? Meeting gift?

The book slowly flew towards Cang Mou. While it was in mid-air, a breeze suddenly came out of thin air, and an illusory strange shadow rolled towards the book...

I've been waiting for you for a long time! Xi Mengxiu sprinkled a piece of pebbles, and the power of destruction was activated! A strange-looking, jet-black, red-faced bird-man figure appeared in mid-air and grabbed the book at top speed! Then he fell to the ground stiffly.

Xi Mengxiu took back the action of snapping his fingers. Cangmu caught the book in a panic, and looked at the ugly birdman on the ground with some helplessness.

"Sakura Kishin Crow Tengu!"

Duan Gekong's ears were stunned and he was stunned for a moment: "What a licking dog?"

Bai Er froze in embarrassment: "A kind of Sakura Tengu, the Crow Tengu!"

Xi Mengxiu came forward and looked at him with disdain, covering his nose.

"This thing is called a ghost, so it must be neither a god nor a ghost! How do you, the security guard, usually deal with this kind of thing?"

Song Qingluan took a few photos with her mobile phone and said:

"It's called Crow Tengu! It's appropriate to say it's neither a crow nor a dog! A cruel evil creature created by man... Qinglong!"

Tang Qinglong took out a metal tube-like thing from his armed backpack and fiddled with it. A needle popped out, went forward and pierced the back of the ugly birdman's neck, and said to Xi Mengxiu:

"Mr. Xi, I didn't expect that your zhenqi blockade would also be effective against this kind of ghost. This kind of evil thing itself is confused and crazy, and it is controlled by people. It has no value of preservation. It is a half-spirit and half-matter alien. , it is extremely difficult to eliminate by conventional physical methods. But the times are improving! The National Security Academy produced 'Super', a special medicine for obsessive ghosts."

Tang Qinglong gestured with the metal pipe in his hand.

"Its owner must still be nearby, and we need to notify the ground team immediately."

Before he spoke, Song Qingluan had already rushed to the middle courtyard, where there was still a wired intercom arranged earlier.

Xi Mengxiu watched as the "transcendence" was injected into the Crow Tengu's fiery ugly face, as if there were flares flickering and spreading, and then turned into fly ash like a white paper ignited by smoldering ashes.

"How does the owner of this thing control it? Can the owner share the view with it in real time, like a first-person perspective live broadcast?"

"how is this possible?"

Tang Qinglong stepped forward and picked out a small tadpole-shaped dark object from the fly ash and showed it to Xi Mengxiu.

"Those extraordinary beings in Sakura who claim to be onmyojis or masters will plant this kind of soul jade magic weapon as the core when creating such evil objects. When controlled, part of the owner's own soul consciousness will escape into this magic weapon , the ghost will act according to the guidance of the soul consciousness in the core. Finally, when the owner takes back his soul consciousness, he can have the memory of controlling the ghost to a certain extent. The disadvantage is that the owner's spiritual consciousness may be contaminated by the chaotic consciousness of the ghost. "

Xi Mengxiu nodded:

"I understand, its owner actually doesn't know what's going on here."

He cautiously gave himself a PoWang perspective, looked around the cave, then looked at the Taoist and pointed at the dome.

"Senior, we have to go out. How about putting on a show?"

"That's fine, this place is about to collapse anyway."
