Then Zhang Ning explained to the Li family’s younger sister what the true spirit is.

To put it simply, the true spirit is the concentration of the soul.

As for what the true spirit does, it is simple. Buddhism says reincarnation, Taoism says taking over the body.

Whether it is reincarnation or body-taking, it is actually a disaster. No matter how righteous it is, it is full of scatteredness and distractions cannot change the soul of an unborn child and then replace it.

So there are some special people, such as the nun Zhang Ning met when she was a child, who chose to pass away rather than reincarnate.

This is a decision that cannot be described in words.

And things like true spirit cannot be achieved by practicing. The more powerful a person has, the stronger his soul, and it is extremely difficult to achieve true spirit.

For example, if Zhang Ning wants to compress his soul into a true spirit, he can devote himself to the body of an unborn child, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Of course, the big guys will still think of ways, otherwise there would not be so many immortals and Buddhas who have successfully reincarnated them.

Zhang Baigong is of course a big shot in this world, but looking at the heavens and the worlds, he is a small one who cannot be even smaller.

It is extremely simple for Zhang Baigong to train his soul into a true spirit. However, Zhang Baigong has no means of reincarnation. He is following the second path different from Buddhism and Taoism, which is also the original path.

Taking one's true spirit as nutrients, without erasing the soul of an unborn child, the child's soul grows stronger, which is different from ordinary people and affects the child's personality.

In a sense, this is a kind of inheritance. It can also be said that Zhang Baigong has his own children.

A person like Zhang Baigong cannot have children, but he finds ways to have children. This child will only be born after he dies.

After ordinary people die, they will have a yin life for a hundred years. If someone like Zhang Baigong enters the Yin Si, they may become generals under the Chenghuang tent, or even go further and become powerful people in the Yin Si.

But he chose to die completely and have his own children.

The child he chose came from his hometown, the same surname as him, from Sihaicheng and Zhangjia Village.

Cui Chenghua knew about this, so he instructed the Li family to go to Zhangjia Village, Sihaicheng to find Zhang Ning.

"I didn't expect that Zhang Baigong was in power during his lifetime, but he just wanted a child before he died." The Li girl didn't expect that this was the case. She sighed emotionally and then leaned her head on Zhang Ning's chest.

"That was a complicated person, with something that made people hate, something that made people admire, something that made people feel bad, and kind. So I promised this and took care of his children on his behalf. I was a free and unwilling to take care of too many things. But when facing his dying request, I still agreed. Before that, I also tried to save him. So I said I didn't like him, nor did I hate him, but in fact I still liked him a little."

Zhang Ning sighed and said.

It may be a bit sorry for Wang Xiao to tell this, but Zhang Ning really doesn't hate Zhang Baigong, but instead likes him a little and admires him.

Zhang Baigong is complicated. He also did many evil things during his lifetime and saved countless people in Hangzhou. However, no matter whether it is good or evil, he is only himself.

He was in power during his lifetime, and only one child was needed after death.

He is not afraid of death, and he can even die completely, and even doesn't want his yin life.

Although he is disabled, he is definitely a real man.

Zhang Ning told the Li family about the matter. As for Xiuxiu, she had heard Zhang Ning say a long time ago that she didn't care. She would go wherever Zhang Ning went.

In this way, Zhang Ning stayed in Wuwang Pavilion for more than half a month, and raised the Li family's little sister to be fat and white, and then said goodbye to Wang Tiejian, Wu Guangen and Li Xiaoxi.

The Li family girl sat in front, Liu Xiuxiu was in the middle, Zhang Ning sat behind and held the thick double-edged axe. The three of them sat on Niu Er's back and rode the wind to the west.

The 38 prefectures of the Great Qi Dynasty are connected to the grasslands and Diyi in the north and to Zhucheng in the western region. Sihai City is a western border area, while Zhangjia Village is located between the mountains and is a small mountain village.

The village mainly consists of Zhang's surname, with about 100 families, and the remaining ten families are foreign surnames, with a total population of 700 to 800.

The mountains and fields are everywhere near the village, and a small stream penetrates through the village, falling straight down like a flying dragon.

This is a quiet and peaceful village.

Zhang Baigong was born here, but it is little known. After Zhang Baigong became famous, he did nothing to do here, because Zhang Baigong knew that he might not die well. If someone knew that he was born in such a small mountain village, he would probably have a catastrophe.

So the villagers here don’t know that they have a family that is in power.

On that day, Zhang Ning and the other two came to the sky near the small mountain village, and then chose a secluded place to fall down. Following the mountain road, he led Niu Er, a man and a woman, then came to the entrance of the small mountain village.

Small mountain villages like this are isolated from the world and rarely communicate with the outside world. Even girls who have married rarely come back, and naturally there are very few strange faces in the village.

Zhang Ning was wearing a brocade robe, white clothes were better than snow, and a gentle young man wearing a luster scarf. The Li family girl was dressed much simpler, but she couldn't hide her appearance. Just Liu Xiuxiu was much more normal, just a little girl, and she was dressed even more simpler.

In short, these three guys appear in such a small mountain village, and they are naturally shining.

When Zhang Ning showed up at the entrance of the village, under an old tree at the entrance of the village, a group of very rustic children were playing. After seeing Zhang Ning, they scattered and ran away.

Some people were brave, so they hid in the corner of the wall and stuck their heads out to look at Zhang Ning and the other two. Soon after, someone came to hear the news. It was an old man who was supported by a young man.

These two people could not hide the local flavor of the mountain people, but they were much different than ordinary mountain people. They had a quiet look and were wearing big-sleeved clothes worn by literati.

Zhang Ning knew that such a person was the one who was just a person in the village.

"I am the village chief of Zhang Village and the head of the Zhang family. Zhang Xiude, this is the son Zhang Bangyuan. How dare I ask why this young master and the two girls came to this village?"

Zhang Xiude was in his sixties, with white hair and unsteady walking, and needed to use a crutch. However, Zhang Bangyuan was only in his early twenties, either born to his concubine or to his strings.

Although Zhang Xiude was trembling, his voice was very powerful, and he had the momentum of giving orders all year round. He obviously had read books and belonged to the literati class.

However, when facing Zhang Ning and the other two, they were shocked and even uneasy. It was because they had read books and saw the world that they realized that these three people came to Xiaoshan Village and had not brought their followers, which was extremely unusual.

Zhang Bangyuan said nothing, but just supported Zhang Xiude.

"I've seen the old man." Zhang Ning politely took the Li family's younger sister. Liu Xiuxiu saluted Zhang Xiude, and then smiled and said, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Ning. These two are my personal maids, Li and Liu. I like to travel around the mountains and rivers. When I came to Guicun, I felt that the people in Guicun were outstanding and wanted to chat with me. I lived there for a year and a half. I wonder what the old man thought?"

Zhang Xiude had seen the world, but it was the first time that he had encountered such a thing. A noble man who seemed to know his origin took two maids to their village, saying that he was a brilliant person and wanted to live there for a year and a half.

This is very strange no matter how you look at it.

But the problem is that Zhangcun is poor and has nothing to be missed by others. So although weird, it is not unacceptable.

Maybe this noble man was kicked in the head by a donkey?

And Zhang Village naturally cannot afford to offend such a noble young man, nor can he offend him. Zhang Xiude hurriedly said, "Young Master is so elegant. If you can come to my Zhang Village, you will naturally be full of lushness. It's just that the mountain is full of misery, there are many mosquitoes, and there are no ready-made houses. I'm afraid the young master will not be used to living there."

"I am not afraid of hardship. Mosquitoes are a little troublesome, but I am not intolerable. As for the house I live in, can the old man buy me a piece of mountain land and ask the villagers to help me build a few wooden houses?" Zhang Ning asked calmly.

"It seems that the young master has made up his mind." Zhang Xiude grabbed his beard with a wry smile, and then said, "Okay, I'll do it for the young master."

"Thank you, Mr.", said Zhang Ning, who took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and put it in Zhang Xiude's hand, and said, "I don't have any respect, please accept it. If possible, please ask the old man to buy some new furniture, bowls, chopsticks, bedding, and grain."

Zhang Bangyuan, who was holding Zhang Xiude, looked at Jinzi's breathing and suddenly became much heavier. However, Zhang Xiude was shocked and hurriedly said, "Young Master, this is too expensive."

Zhang Xiude knew that it was five taels of gold when he held the gold. Such a piece of gold was definitely a huge wealth in a small mountain village like Zhangcun.

Zhang Ning shook his head and smiled and said, "The old man is so serious. I like the mountains and rivers of the village, so I'm afraid I'll have to chat for a long time. I'm afraid that the old man will take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation will be more often. I'm afraid that this little gold is not enough."

Zhang Xiude still refused, but Zhang Ning insisted on asking Zhang Xiude to accept it. After repeated recurring, Zhang Xiude had to accept the gold. Then he led Zhang Ning back to his house and asked his wife, a woman in her forties, to cook a table of good food to entertain Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning guessed correctly. Zhang Xiude's first wife died early, and later re-singed. Zhang Bangyuan was born to his second wife. Because the second wife and the son born to his ex-wife did not get along well, the Zhang family had already separated.

At present, only Zhang Xiude, Zhang Bangyuan, Mrs. Zhang, and servants in the Zhang family.

Zhang Ning and his threesomes and one cow also stayed in the Zhang family for a day. As Zhang Xiude said, there are indeed many mosquitoes in the mountain, but Zhang Ning and his threesomes are fine in the room, and there are not even mosquitoes in the Zhang family.

You should know that Niu Er, the stupid bull, is still a bull demon, and it is also a powerful bull demon.

With such a bull demon here, how could mosquitoes come?

Niu Er was a little depressed these days because Zhang Ning was afraid that her baby axe would scare the villagers, so he hid somewhere else.

Without an axe, she was depressed.

In short, three people and one cow stayed at the Zhang family for a night. The next day, Zhang Xiude asked his son Zhang Bangyuan to come forward and summoned the mountain people to help Zhang Ning repair the house.

Zhang Xiude was both the village chief and the clan leader, so he naturally had a word. And now it was autumn and winter, and many mountain people were idle, so he called him all at once.

The house was built in one day, and Zhang Xiude also sent someone to deliver new bedding, furniture, bowls and chopsticks.

The house is built on a mountain field with a backing against a mountain peak. There are mountain fields on three sides. The fields are two or three acres, with a wide view and good scenery.

Zhang Xiude may have felt that a noble man like Zhang Ning who is leisurely and elegant, and perhaps he has the preference for farming, so he allocated the two or three acres of mountain fields to Zhang Ning, which was not very valuable anyway.

That five taels of gold is enough to buy half of the mountain village.

In short, Zhang Ning, Liu Xiuxiu, Li’s younger sister, and Niu Er lived in this small mountain village. It’s really not to mention that it has a different taste.

You should know that Zhang Ning is a free and illusioned person. If you want to become an immortal, a Buddha, or a demon, no matter what the path is, your ultimate goal is to live freely and immortality.

In comparison, Zhang Ning wants to become an immortal more.

Demons are truly free and careless, but they are also mostly scum and have a bad reputation.

There are too many Buddhist rules.

This immortal has a good reputation and no rules, so he is free.

The so-called immortal originally meant a master living on the mountain. As the saying goes, water is not deep, and there is a dragon, so the spirit is the same. The mountain is not high, and there is an immortal, so the name is the same.

Zhang Ning pursues namelessness and freedom and freedom.

However, after all, due to the family's burden, he had to sit in Qidu. Although he was still nameless and had no surname in Qidu before he was twenty years old, and was free and easy, he always felt that he was bound.

Since he went to Chujiang Kingdom, he obtained the original Yin Stone and practiced into a magic knife. Only then did Zhang Ning become much more free.

Zhang Ning could have left this world, pursued a higher path, and sought the way to immortality. As for this Daqi, he would give up.

Although there are many things in this Great Qi, such as whether there are any remnants of the Blood River God Sect, who is the city lord of the Jue Ding City, and who is the city lord of Xiaoyaohou, and who instructs the God Beggar to kill him.

For example, Zhang Ning is really worried about the family of Liu’s father, Liu’s mother, Liu Qiuqiu and Hutou.

The former Zhang Ning actually doesn't matter. Everything in front of time will be settled. If he can really achieve the path of freedom and immortality in the future, then the grievances in this small world will be just passing by and not worth mentioning.
