Ghost Net Three: Peering into Immortals [Sword Three]

I don't know if it's because of the burning of incense and amulets, but the temperature in the room seems to have risen a bit, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Lehan's neck.

She pressed her hand tightly on the bag, and many thoughts flashed through her mind, but she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Nothing."

The old man wiped the mouth of the bowl neatly, as if he had put something back into his sleeve.

He closed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

The three of them didn't dare to say anything, they just waited for him to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. still sat upright with his eyes closed, his chest heaving up and down with his inaudible breathing.

"Is he asleep?" Liu Lehan mouthed to Yang Guo.

"Shut up." Yang Guo glared at her, "Sir, this is communicating with the gods."

Liu Lehan could only be as quiet as a chicken.

She can still believe that he can tell fortunes, but is it a bit mysterious to say that he can communicate with gods?

Liu Lehan looked at the clear water bowl in front of him, as if waiting for a verdict.

Finally, the old gentleman who hadn't moved for a long time let out a sigh of relief, and slowly opened his eyes to meet Liu Lehan's gaze.

Those eyeballs were clouded by vicissitudes of life, but their eyes were as clear as torches.

For the first time, Liu Lehan seemed to be seen through his heart by a stranger.

"For all kinds of things in the world, cause and effect are the most difficult to determine." The old man said nine words slowly.

Liu Lehan was puzzled.

Does he mean that she did all this herself?Is it the karma she should bear to offend evil spirits?

"Sir, what does this mean?"

People say that if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Apart from doing homework for the main course in politics classes, she really can't think of any bad things she has done.

"Let it be, you will understand later." The old man said nine more words as if he was stingy.

Yang Guo was very anxious, "Do you mean to just sit and wait? But I'm worried..."

The old gentleman looked displeased, "I told you to let nature take its course, and didn't tell you to sit and wait for death."

"..." Is there a difference between the two?Liu Lehan couldn't figure it out either.

"Let's go. I won't interfere in the matter of cause and effect. If I insist on turning it around, I will make things difficult for my patriarch. Even if your grandma is sitting here, I will say the same thing." He directly issued an order to evict guests.

Yang Guo had a mournful face, looking like she was about to cry.

"Then let's go." She didn't come here on her own initiative, and since she couldn't find out why, Liu Lehan didn't want to force it either.

Maybe it was her life that deserved this calamity.

When they walked to the stairwell, Liu Lehan comforted Yang Guo, "Don't be sad, it's no big deal, sir said let nature take its course, I think you're overthinking it. Even if there is a ghost, let me and it kill me if the ghost kills me." Face to face? Is it embarrassing?"

Yang Guo was even more sad that the person concerned should comfort her in turn.Apart from being worried about Liu Lehan, she was mainly out of face. She tricked and tricked him to cover her up, and even promised to help her solve this matter, but in the end she slapped herself in the face.

"Can't I ask Mr. again?" Kiki asked.

Yang Guo shook his head, "He has a weird temper, and this time his attitude is very firm, unless he can find a reason why he must help, otherwise... Sigh."

The trip was in vain, and the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

The three of them walked in the neighborhood in frustration, Qiqi made three packs of yogurt out of the bag and distributed them to them, chatting for comfort.

"Mr. just said that cause and effect are difficult to determine, and he said that he does not interfere with cause and effect. What is cause and effect?" Qiqi asked while drinking yogurt.

Yang Guo slowly kicked the stones on the road, "Everything you encounter now is the result of your own creation, and the result you create now will become the cause of everything in the future. But this kind of cause and effect does not have to be limited to In this life, the cause of the previous life may not produce results until this life. Similarly, if you create karma in this life, you may not get the retribution in this life, but may wait for the blessings of previous lives to be used up, and repay it in the next life. They are like this People generally don't interfere with such cause and effect, because once they interfere, they may have to bear the consequences for others."

"It's like a cycle." Liu Lehan looked up at the sky, as if he was standing under the sky of Wanhua Valley in a trance, discussing Taiji Pisces with Brother Guihua.

Lao Tzu is really an extremely wise prophet who has seen through the world long ago.

Everything in the universe is just in a cycle of big and small. It seems sad to draw an inevitable end in the established destiny, but everything has the hope of getting better; it seems that everything seems to have the hope of getting better, In fact, even the fate is predetermined.

This is nature.

Qiqi gulped and drank milk, and said inarticulately: "Hmm... just like those plot tasks in Jiansan? Murong Zhuifeng became a corpse, and Meng Chang in white became the ten evils in the valley. Each has its own cause and effect. .”

"It can also be understood in this way." Yang Guo was dejected, and Liu Lehan remained silent.

Now she really felt that she was in the same boat as those destined NPCs.

If she jumped out of the four-dimensional space to a higher dimension, would she actually be an NPC with a predetermined destiny in the eyes of high-dimensional creatures?

"Suddenly thought of a passage I saw before." Liu Lehan's negative emotions were a bit serious, "It basically means that players fight monsters according to the set plot, help NPCs fulfill various wishes so as to promote the plot, and serve as a hero. I handed over the sword and fought against Li Bai, but nothing changed in the end, and I couldn't stop Mo Yu and Mao Mao from turning against each other, let alone prevent the downfall of Tang Dynasty."

Qiqi then asked: "Then do you think we have changed their cause and effect?"

"Of course not. Although we are in the rivers and lakes, we can't control the fate of NPCs."

In the final analysis, the players of Jiansan are just a bunch of out-and-out passers-by for the whole Jianghu. A bunch of out-and-out passers-by make this arena complete, but history will never change its direction because of anyone.

They are ordinary ordinary people.

Yang Guo was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"I said players follow..."

"Oh, I didn't ask you!" Yang Guo interrupted Liu Lehan eagerly, "Qiqi, what did you just say?"

Qiqi was also taken aback, "Are we counting... changing their cause and effect?"

Yang Guo gnawed her finger on the spot and thought hard for a while, feeling like she was thinking about something that was closely related to the survival of the universe.

After a while, she stuffed the unopened yogurt into Qiqi's hand, turned around and ran back, shouting, "I have a solution! Wait for me!"

The second monk Liu Lehan was puzzled, "What is she going to do? Hit the south wall?"

"Her grandma is familiar with her husband, maybe she suddenly thought of something." Qiqi quickly drank a pack of yogurt and opened the pack that Yang Guo stuffed back, looking at the scorching sun in the afternoon, "Hi, okay I want to drink the fat house happy water."

Liu Lehan doesn't want to drink the Fat House Happy Water, but now she kind of wants to play with the Fat House Happy Paper Figure.

------------------------------------

When she went back to sit with her husband in front of the incense table again, Liu Lehan was a little dazed.

Yang Guo didn't know what she said to her husband, but he actually asked them to come back. Qiqi just answered a phone call and went home, so Yang Guo and Liu Lehan were left in a daze.

At this moment, there is a stack of yellow talisman papers in front of the gentleman, and a small bowl of paint, like cinnabar, next to it.

The color is mellow and the wine is full-bodied.

"I'll help you because of Grandma Yang Guo's face." The gentleman pondered, drawing a little bit of a talisman in his hand, and drew a talisman like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Liu Lehan hurriedly thanked: "Yes, yes, thank you sir."

He waved his hand, "You're welcome, although I gave you a hand, but whether I can help you depends on fate. Besides, your patriarch doesn't care about this matter, which means there are some arrangements in the dark."

Liu Lehan nodded hastily, "Yes, yes, I understand, it's my own cause and effect."

The husband raised his eyes and called her to his side, "Did you see the talisman I drew just now? Come here and draw it yourself."

"..."

Symbol?She felt that her brain cells were going to die when she drew the auxiliary line, how could she do that!

Seeing her bewildered face, the husband sighed, "I will teach you how to draw step by step, you must learn this talisman."

After practicing seven or eight times, Liu Lehan can still draw in a good shape. It is hard for laymen to see it, but compared with Mr.'s painting, it is greatly reduced.

"Can this work?" Yang Guo leaned over, doubting Liu Lehan's level.

"I just let her learn the steps of this talisman. She doesn't know how to bless it, and of course it doesn't have the effect of suppressing ghosts." The husband said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

The husband even gave a rare smile, but his eyes were still solemn, "Girl, since you asked me to come, tell me the truth. Are you playing a game called Jianwangsan?"

Liu Lehan looked at Yang Guo in shock, and nodded uneasy.

This gentleman stopped talking forty or fifty years ago. I didn't expect to know about online games like Jianwangsan. Could it be that he is actually a gamer?

With that inscrutable smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked faintly: "Are you thinking that I would know about Jian San?"

They were silent.

"It's not accidental that I know Jian Wang III." The gentleman said, "Since two or three years ago, people have come to me one after another, about the same age as you, saying that they were stalked by a ghost in an online game. Yes. I didn’t believe it at first, but I couldn’t stand the facts. Later, I downloaded this online game and created an account, and found out that this game is really evil. Many things are not as simple as they seem. I advise Uninstall it as soon as possible to save your life."

Yang Guo was startled and asked tentatively, "Then, what happened to those players?"

The gentleman sneered, "They all half-believed my statement. Five came, three died, some drowned, some died in a car accident, and some hung themselves. In all likelihood, they were caught as substitutes. The last one listened. I went back and followed my instructions, but something went wrong, my life was saved, and I went crazy.”

He paused, and glanced at the stunned Liu Lehan from the corner of his eyes, "The fifth player is you."

Liu Lehan's tinnitus was loud.

"No." She said softly, her voice barely audible.

I don't know who I'm talking to.

She had never made a deal with Shen Huayi, her sixth sense told her that the ghost following her was definitely not him.

But then Liu Lehan thought of a more terrifying possibility——

What if Shen Huayi intentionally put this ghost by her side in order to make a deal with her?

After all, everything started with the appearance of the mirror. If Brother Hua were to be left out, everything would be unexplainable.

Even if it is straightened out from the beginning, it is absolutely impossible for Brother Hua to be innocent.

"I only say what I have to say and do what I have to do. The rest is up to you." The Taoist priest folded the talisman he drew at the beginning and pushed it in front of Liu Lehan, "I don't have this talisman." The reason for injecting power is because this ghost is special, and you must use the talisman you draw to be effective. The day after tomorrow happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, so you go back to log in to the game tomorrow, and go back to Chunyang to accept the talisman drawing task of the sect."

Liu Lehan put away the talisman and carefully wrote down what the husband said.

"...But the talisman drawing task you will receive tomorrow will be different from the past. In the past, it was the pattern prescribed by the NPC. Tomorrow's talisman paper will be blank. At that time, you will first burn three sticks of incense to the north, and then when you click the mouse Dip that finger in cinnabar, and follow the steps of drawing the talisman just now to draw the pattern in one stroke, and everything must be completed before the incense burns out. Only then can the talisman in your hand play its role."

Liu Lehan was puzzled, "But the sect's missions are different every day, what if you can't receive the mission of drawing symbols tomorrow?"

"This is what I can help, you don't have to worry about it." The husband pushed a small bottle of cinnabar made with realgar wine and yin-yang water to her, "After that, the cause and effect and the decision are all your own business. Can't handle it."
