Chapter 536: The Attitudes of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy to the Court
Chapter 536: The attitude of hundreds of schools of thought towards the imperial court
Author: a chili pepper
A great monk can escape his spiritual thoughts from his body.
In this state of escape, the monk's thinking ability will not be affected.
This kind of spiritual thought is also called Yang Soul.
The spiritual thoughts that escape after death are called ghosts.
Yang souls can return to their original bodies, but Yin souls obviously cannot return to their dead bodies.
In this case, the ghost can either choose a place in the netherworld to gather spiritual energy to nourish and practice, or choose another person's body to possess or usurp it.
Screams came from the village, and Dong Zhongshu thought about another possibility.
"This tiger demon's magical power is most likely to turn people into ghosts. He is familiar with the process of turning people into ghosts. He can also use this knowledge to quickly turn himself into a ghost after death. He even has ghost techniques. His technique..."
Both yang soul and yin soul have some magical effects, but this form separated from the physical body is far weaker than the body's normal state.
The ghost of the tiger demon has not experienced cultivation, so it is extremely difficult to become a powerful ghost.
"He's probably growing up through charlatanism!"
After just a few seconds of thinking, Dong Zhongshu rushed back.
Two of the villagers chasing behind them had already fallen to the ground, and several more were holding torches, looking at the bodies of the two people on the ground with frightened faces.
Amidst the slightly dull roar of the tiger, gray shadows appeared on the bodies of the two villagers. The two shadows were like weeds in the wind and waves, floating around on their bodies.
"Roar!"
The two shadows took on the form of a slaying tiger, and they kept roaring lowly.
"This is the puppet of the tiger's minions!"
Dong Zhongshu's eyes widened slightly.
"Are these two people very close to the tiger demon in the past?" Dong Zhongshu shouted: "If there is anyone close to the tiger demon, you can hide in the water quickly to avoid being found by him following his familiar scent."
"This sir..."
Previously, he pursued Dong Zhongshu with sticks, machetes, bows and arrows, but now he witnessed villagers dying in front of everyone, and fear continued to spread among the more than ten villagers who were shouting and killing.
"The tiger demon is dead, but he turned into a ghost," Dong Zhongshu said: "He is a special ghost that can grow by swallowing ghosts!"
"Then let's..."
"Feminities are different from humans. Without a body, they cannot see, smell, or hear. They can only locate themselves through the familiar smells in the past." Dong Zhongshu said: "Whoever gets close to the tiger demon will
Come and find these people until you eat them and grow strong."
"It's time to die!"
Two villagers bravely ran forward for a hundred meters. In addition to seeing the broken body of the tiger demon, they also heard Dong Zhongshu's introduction.
This puts many villagers in danger.
What does it mean to be close? How close does it mean to be close?
Does it count if you have met each other, does it count if you kowtow and kneel down, does it count if you help the tiger demon carry someone else?
No one understands the concept of "near", but many villagers know that their village controlled by the tiger demon is about to change.
"Ah~"
Another scream came, and the body of a villager holding a torch slowly fell down.
This situation shocked many villagers, and they couldn't care about anything else at the moment.
"Hide in the water, hide in the water!"
All the villagers dispersed, and Dong Zhongshu reached out and touched the ghost.
These ghosts have just transformed and are still in an extremely infant stage. They can only see the form, but cannot touch the entity.
Normal slashes and cuts with swords cannot affect the ghosts, and magic spells cannot hit this kind of creature.
If you want to get rid of these ghosts, you only need to burn the corpses of these villagers while the ghosts grow to solve the problem, or you need to eradicate the source.
Dong Zhongshu wouldn't be able to do this kind of work for a while.
He carried his sword and wandered back.
In addition to this group of scattered villagers, there were still sounds of fighting and killing in the village. It was not until various shouts of warning continued that these villagers dispersed in panic.
"If you run away so quickly, no one can beat you!"
Zhang Xuezhou's shouting voice could be heard in the ancestral hall, and Dong Zhongshu got in. He saw that the people who had been knocked down behind the young man were almost lined up in a human-shaped passage, and one fell down every two or three meters.
As a monk in the True Spirit Realm, even if Zhang Xuezhou is not good at attacking spells or martial arts, it is obviously not too difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to beat these people.
To avoid the risk of being beaten by a group of people, Zhang Xuezhou put down everyone accurately.
The main reason for this is that the most stubborn villagers have been lured away by Dong Zhongshu.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou knocking down an old woman and putting his hands on his hips, Dong Zhongshu felt that the young man had swelled.
"You don't even let go of an old woman who is seventy or eighty years old," Dong Zhongshu said curiously.
"Don't underestimate this old woman. She stabbed the back yard with a stick. She even made Zhang Debiao cry!"
"Backyard?"
Dong Zhongshu shrank and looked at Zhang Debiao who was piled in the crowd. When he tore off several stunned villagers who were lying on each other, he saw the tears overflowing from the corners of Zhang Debiao's eyes.
"I want to heal my wounds, Eastern monk, please heal my wounds," Zhang Debiao said in mourning.
"I don't know how to treat back pain!"
"There are too many wounded!"
It was not only the bewitched and coerced villagers who fell in a chaotic battle, but also the members of the business group.
Those who are sober will fight with the villagers, while those who are not sober will often be trampled on.
Dong Zhongshu felt that everything was terrible.
He had not yet left the range of Bashu, so the group was almost destroyed.
But things are not over yet.
But Dong Zhongshu doesn't have much other abilities at the moment. He can't find the ghost of the tiger demon at the moment, and it's difficult to cause damage to this ghost that has never transformed.
"That is to say, in order to completely eliminate the tiger demon scourge, we must find him and let him have a normal physical state?"
While reaching out to heal his wounds, Zhang Xuezhou also understood part of the current situation.
"That's right." Dong Zhongshu nodded and said, "This tiger demon is unusual. Whether he is a demon or turns into a yin creature, he will cause trouble."
As long as the tiger demon can cultivate and improve, as long as the other party has a need for humans, the tiger demon will continue to harm humans because of this need.
"This tiger demon is so brave. He actually dares to perform magic in front of us. Du Accountant, chase him to death!"
Seeing three gray shadows rising from the villagers in the ancestral hall, Zhang Xuezhou finally understood the way the tiger monster harmed people.
But just a few seconds later, Zhang Xuezhou's shouting stopped, and Dong Zhongshu's expression also changed.
Not only the villagers in this village are turning into ghosts, but also some people in the business group have begun to turn into ghosts.
"Quick, quick, quick, Brother Xu, quickly expel the smoke from their bodies!"
After Dong Zhongshu thought about it, he couldn't help but quickly urged Xu Ji.
He looked at this little old man from the Nongzong school and felt that all his troubles could only be solved temporarily by this old man.
Not to mention anything else, at least Zhao Liang can't turn into a ghost.
Dong Zhongshu took a deep breath of air-conditioning and asked Xu Ji to carry out priority treatment.
He muttered something, and in just over ten seconds, the area was covered in drizzle.
Although there are still ghosts appearing on people in the ancestral hall from time to time, the speed is much slower than when three or four suddenly appeared before.
"Why does my whole body still hurt so much after sleeping!"
Dong Zhongshu breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao Liang shouted and woke up.
"This tiger monster must be eradicated!"
Putting aside the important things in his mind, Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but pick and choose among the spells he knew, looking for a spell that could restrain the tiger demon.
"As long as the tiger demon finds a target, wouldn't the other party kill whoever they want?"
After listening to Dong Zhongshu's explanation, Zhang Xuezhou felt that even if the tiger demon died, he could bring a large number of people to be buried with him.
"With a tiger on your side, there is no way to escape easily." Dong Zhongshu frowned and said, "Anyone who seeks the skin of a tiger will have a hard time escaping. Whether the tiger demon is familiar with its aura or there is poison in the body, he can probably locate and control it!
"
"Can't your method of reducing the poison of narcotic smoke kill the tiger demon?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.
"What's your method for eliminating the poison of cigarette smoke?" Dong Zhongshu asked.
"I can only bear a little physical strength, but I have no ability to deal with this kind of thing!" Zhang Xuezhou said.
"It would be great if there were people from the Shijiao School here, they are very good at breaking through this kind of weirdness," Xu Ji interjected.
"The Shijiao school of raising corpses and controlling them was suppressed by the imperial court. It is said that some people from the school went to Xiangxi. I'm afraid there won't be many people from the Shijiao school going around to eliminate and cure ghosts." Dong Zhongshu shook his head.
"The Han court is really nothing," the young man Xu Yuan cursed.
"You can't say that," Dong Zhongshu said: "The Shijiao School is both good and evil. When they do evil, their behavior is no worse than that of the Tiger Demon. This is also the school that likes to sacrifice living people the most. They have done a lot of good things, but bad things.
It’s also a bunch of baskets, you can’t even count them!”
"There are good people and bad people in every school. It's just that some people in the Shijiao school have bad hearts. The imperial court is killing people indiscriminately. There are also a lot of bad officials in the imperial court, and I don't see them bringing the imperial court to its knees!"
Xu Yuan cursed several times.
This may be the attitude of various schools of thought toward the imperial court.
Even though his relationship with the imperial court was not very high, Nong Zong did not have a good impression of the Han Dynasty.
This impression is not to say deep-rooted, but under the impact of events one after another, it was impossible for these schools to stand up and cooperate with the development of the Han Dynasty.
Xu Yuan and others cursed the court, while Dong Zhongshu was thinking about how to deal with the ghost of the tiger demon.
"Either let this thing take form, or burn the corpses of the stupid people in this village, so that the tiger demon can't devour the ghost and become a lonely man. There will be no possibility of transformation for decades!"
Xu Ji expressed his opinions in a low voice.
This made Dong Zhongshu reluctantly nodded.
The former plan naturally requires that enough villagers die to allow the ghost of the tiger demon to transform.
The latter plan is to delay time and wait for the tiger demon's fortune. If there is a lack of fortune, the ghost of the tiger demon will naturally disperse. If the opponent's fortune is high, it will be another disaster, and it is likely to cause trouble to one party decades later.
But whether it is the former or the latter, villagers will inevitably die in large numbers.
It's just that the former is a tiger demon kill, while the latter's behavior will cause them to face the hostility of the villagers, who will think that their business group burned people to death, leading to continuous entanglements, and may even lead to the intervention of the government.
These are two not-so-perfect solutions.
Dong Zhongshu weighed the pros and cons repeatedly until Zhang Xuezhou hissed.
"This is simply a ghost nest. There are already twenty-three ghosts!"
Playing with a ball of white light, Zhang Xuezhou felt extremely excited about the Feminine Object Tracking Technique.
This was the discovery of a large amount of yin objects, which caused the spell to be different from normal. This was a situation he had never experienced before.
Originally, he just used this technique to play with when he saw a lot of ghosts, but Zhang Xuezhou found that the Feminine Object Tracking Technique was not too useless.
He looked towards the middle of the three bronze incense burners.
That was the location where the tiger demon was before. As the tiger demon and Dong Zhongshu fought, the other side also left the Buddhist niche.
But when pointed at with the Shadow Object Tracking Technique, the shrine shone brightly, as if there was a big ghost that was far more active than the surrounding ghosts.
