Chapter Twenty-Five
By the time Yu Peng was about to graduate from elementary school, he already had a batch of spiritual weapons in his hand, a pile scattered here and there.
The most important things are pendants and gourds that accumulate spiritual energy and can be beneficial to ordinary people and extend their lives. Mom, dad, grandparents, grandma, and some relatives with whom they are close are all given away.
Anyway, Yu Peng is rich now and has a lot of jade stones for practicing his skills. Plus, with Luo Zhen guiding him, he can have as much as he wants, which makes him very generous.
As for my grandfather’s share, it’s because my grandfather passed away a few years ago.
Yu Peng watched everything happen naturally. It's not that he couldn't do anything, but in the end, he still didn't do anything.
Destiny has its own laws. Some things cannot be changed if we want to, nor does it mean that good results will come from changing them. Let nature take its course, which is the attitude most respected by Taoists.
As my grandma got older, Yu Peng's parents originally thought about bringing the old man here to live together and take care of her daily life, but they still couldn't overcome the old man's temper. In the end, they had no choice but to give up. At worst, they would have to make more trips every year to accompany her.
Accompany the elderly.
Recently, Yu Peng has been thinking about going to school. He is about to graduate from elementary school. What will he do next?
Although going to school is fun, Yu Peng clearly feels that his cultivation progress has become very slow, especially slow.
Although it was painful in the past, practicing from morning to night made Yu Peng's progress extremely fast, and he could see changes every day.
But in the past few years of school, I had to be at school during the day, and only when I came back at night did I have time to continue exercising. Although I was at home all day on Saturdays and Sundays, sometimes I had to go out for walks with my parents regularly to cover up, which also affected my progress.
Especially after the investigation by Li Yi's family, although nothing was found, Li Yi's father had arranged for people to keep an eye on this place, and Yu Peng's family had a hard time.
This afternoon, when Yu Peng was coming home from school, he happened to encounter a car accident.
There was a takeaway guy, maybe he was trying to grab an order for delivery, or maybe he was used to driving around randomly. When he passed an intersection, he was hit by another car that was driving normally.
The speed of both parties is not bad, but the electric car of the younger brother has no protection in the first place, and the quality of the helmet is not very good, so...
Before the ambulance came, the little brother was already dead.
Yu Peng watched his brother's ghost float out of his body. At first, the ghost kept trying to return to his body.
But after trying for a while, no matter how hard I tried, I could no longer drive the body, so I gave up.
Then, his ghost kept wandering around anxiously, and after finding his electric car, he kept trying to push the electric car.
However, a ghost is just a ghost and has no entity. There is no rest for it, and its body is going back and forth on the electric car, but it has no effect.
He probably still retains the obsessions or thinking habits he had during his lifetime, and still regards himself as a food delivery person and wants to continue delivering food.
He didn't give up until the traffic police arranged for his body and electric car to be taken away.
Yu Peng did nothing and did not dare to do anything. Just at the opposite intersection, there was a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, whose eyes would glance at Yu Peng from time to time.
That one was sent by Li Yi's family to keep an eye on him.
Yu Peng watched the excitement for a while and then hurried home.
After I got home, I happened to see Aunt Chen Song, who had just entered the house.
Thinking of the delivery boy who died just now, Yu Peng suddenly thought of a question.
"I heard before that as long as someone dies in a place, a certain proportion of ghosts will appear. And isn't it said that ghosts are everywhere? But why haven't I noticed it before?"
Chen Song had just entered the room and was stunned for a while by Yu Peng's sudden question. Then he covered his mouth and smiled and said briskly.
"That's because they are afraid that you will be affected. Taoist Luo Zhen and Brother Gu Ze have made the ghosts around them hidden and unable to move around, so you usually can't see them."
"Ah? Can it still be like this? No wonder I was wondering before why I rarely see ghosts. Even if I don't go out very often at night, I shouldn't be? It turns out it was all arranged by you!"
Coincidentally, Gu Ze and Tuesday also came back today, Gu Ze replied:
"Our place has long been set as a restricted area in the Chengde area. We have already made an agreement with them about the ghosts in the surrounding area. We just don't bother you for the next few years. When you grow up, you will be able to have strength.
If they go out and travel, they will be free."
"Anyway, it only happened for more than ten years. To ghosts, it's nothing."
Later, Tuesday also said
"Moreover, we are not saying that we are overbearing. In order to make up for these ghosts, Taoist Luo Zhen built a formation nearby. All ghosts within the range of the formation can absorb the excess spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their own souls. Even if
Because there are no relatives to care about, there are no other ways to replenish spiritual energy, and they don’t have to think about leaving."
"So, even if we keep them from coming out, these ghosts are very cooperative and can have enough to eat without having to work hard. This is not only a dream for humans, but also for ghosts."
"So, they are all very cooperative." When I finally said this on Tuesday, I actually wanted to laugh a little bit, but the fact is this: people die for wealth, birds die for food, and ghosts die for aura, it's the same.
in principle.
Fortunately, these spirits in Yu Peng's house only prevented the ghosts in the area from coming out for a short period of time, and it was not a forced demolition or purchase.
"Moreover, this is also a protective measure for your family."
"Ghosts are different from spiritual bodies. Ghosts do not know how to restrain their own mental magnetic field. Living in the same environment as ordinary people for a long time will affect the mental state of the people around them and also destroy a person's luck. Sometimes, they attract unlucky people.
Good luck sometimes shortens your life span.”
"Your physique is special, not just because of your abilities, but because you are more likely to attract ghosts. Although there are only hundreds of thousands of people in this city, there are nearly a million ghosts formed throughout history. You may not be afraid, but
Your parents are just ordinary people, they can't bear it"
When Gu Ze said this, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"Since you were three years old, you first generated the soul-burning fire. After Taoist Luo Zhen discovered your abnormality, he used the talisman on you. At that time, you were still young and your soul power was not that strong, but the talisman was still consumed.
Soon, we found that this was not possible, so we used talismans to suppress your abilities first, and then created this formation. The core of the formation is this house."
"After that, we gathered all the ghosts in the surrounding area, briefly explained the situation, and asked them to hibernate for more than ten years. During these ten years, they can absorb the surrounding aura at will to ensure their own survival. Of course they agreed."
.
Gu Ze's words finally solved a doubt that Yu Peng had for a while.
However, another doubt arose incidentally.
"I have seen some sporadic ghosts before, and their appearance..."
After holding it back for a while, Yu Peng continued to describe it and said, "It really has everything."
As a woman, especially a woman who was very beautiful during her lifetime, Chen Song feels the same way about this topic.
"Yes, most people form ghosts just like they are when they die. They come from the heart. I have never experienced that stage, but at first I saw bloodstains all over the body, broken arms and legs, and disheveled hair.
Or a ghost with an incomplete head and body, I almost got scared.”
"It was a time of war, and everywhere was ablaze. Young people rarely died in good health. Instead, it was the elderly and children who received whole bodies. Later, I gradually got used to it."
"Human life is worthless in troubled times, and everyone is quite pitiful."
Or perhaps remembering what happened during his lifetime, Chen Song choked up a little as he spoke, but soon returned to normal. He continued.
"Ghosts are different from spirit bodies. It is very difficult for ordinary ghosts to maintain their existence with the little spiritual energy they absorb. How can they have the energy to care about their appearance? Just like a hungry person who can't even eat enough, how can he still care about his appearance?
Be thoughtful about what you wear."
Even Chen Song, although he was already a spirit body when he first met Yu Peng, he only maintained his original figure and appearance, and wore the same clothes as he had in life. Although he looked fairy-like, it took a long time.
, that’s it.
I have been living with Yu Peng for a long time in the past few years. As the spiritual energy is absorbed, the spirit body becomes more solid and real. In the past two years, I have also begun to love beauty. I often change myself into different styles of clothes. Anyway, changing clothes and outer clothing. For the spirit body
In other words, it is a matter of illusion.
Moreover, who said that the ancients had to wear traditional clothes? Look at Aunt Chen Song, wearing modern clothes, it is amazing. She is beautiful when she is beautiful. No matter what shape she is, she is not as good as being born.
Beauty.
If she were still alive, she would be an international supermodel and star.
At this time, Yu Peng also remembered something that Taoist Luo Zhen once said. If a ghost wants to exist for a long time, it must either be lucky enough to encounter an object full of spiritual energy, and be lucky enough not to be robbed by other powerful forces and individuals, or
Just find a place with strong spiritual energy.
Otherwise, it can only absorb the meager spiritual energy between heaven and earth and survive.
Although the conscious energy formed by the thoughts of loved ones is also the source of energy that helps ghosts survive in the world or condense their souls.
But this matter is more subtle. The thoughts themselves are divided into good thoughts and evil thoughts, just like what people often call positive energy and negative energy. Of course, positive energy can bring positive energy to people, while negative energy can make a person will.
Depressed and lonely.
Positive thoughts are indeed very helpful to ghosts. Not only can they provide energy to survive for a long time, but the excess energy can also better condense their bodies. If they are lucky, they can even help them form a spirit body.
.
For example, celebrities such as Guan Yu and Yue Fei were very strong when they died, but people in later generations worshiped them and believed in them. The power of faith can make their souls stronger until they become holy spirits.
The Holy Spirit is a higher-level existence than ordinary spiritual beings.
Spirits can only help others. For example, Gu Ze can show up to help Yu Peng fight, or Chen Song can help Yu Peng cook.
But the Holy Spirit can reversely transmit part of its energy to humans for use.
This is what many places call "inviting God" and "upper body".
The relationship between people is actually based on interests, and the same is true between people and ghosts.
Living relatives, long-term thoughts for the deceased and condolences during the holidays not only help the ghosts, but also indirectly help themselves. When they encounter disaster or danger, the ghosts of the deceased elders are also willing to come forward and help them get through it.
Disaster.
Sometimes they convey warning messages, and sometimes they are even willing to expend their own energy to help their loved ones withstand disasters.
Filial piety, filial piety, first fulfill your filial piety, then everything will go smoothly. The custom passed down from ancient times naturally has its own reason.
The corresponding negative energy is the evil thoughts towards the dead elders, some come from hatred, some come from resentment, but no matter what the cause, vicious curses will condense the soul of the ghost, causing great trouble and constantly impacting the ghost.
Stability of consciousness.
Ghosts also have thoughts and tempers. Living people keep scolding themselves and disturbing themselves with their thoughts. Anyone will have a bad temper, so they will often create some troubles for the living people, either making them sick or hindering them.
