I saw the monk again. On a hilltop, a lantern hung high, emitting a soft and quiet light. In the only darkness under the lamp, the little monk with the lantern sat quietly cross-legged. Hundreds of ghosts had gathered around him.
, some were quiet, some were confused, and some were watching eagerly.
Light has the function of calming souls, and it seems to be more useful for demons. He is not sure what the monk is doing.
Maybe the so-called "illuminating others" he once showed was simply to purify the souls here?
For Buddhism, purifying the soul is merit, and having more merit is conducive to practice. In fact, it is the same thing.
However, looking at the situation at the scene, such a purification process seems to be very tense. The ghosts obviously do not want to be restrained by this power, so there are always strong souls among them who want to break away from this purification power and let themselves go.
Whenever a ghost wants to get rid of the light, the lantern-carrying monk will pat the lantern, and then a more powerful light will envelope the troublesome ghost, making it quiet and achieve a fragile balance.
Hou Zi stood outside the circle of light. Because of his natural skills and the purifying power of the light, the ghosts coming and going around him turned a blind eye to him. This was not because of how well he practiced the natural skills, but mainly because of the
The monk attracted most of the ghost's attention.
The lantern-carrying monk also saw him, but pretended to ignore him and made no response. He neither welcomed nor chased him away, but no one knew what he was thinking.
Hou Zi could see the disgusted expression on the monk's face. He enjoyed this feeling that although you are annoying me, you can't do anything to me. Of course, he didn't stay here to cause trouble, he just wanted to see the Buddhist disciples.
skills, and their strange behavior.
In the cultivation world of Splendid Continent, it is not appropriate to intervene in such situations randomly. At least it will lead to an unhappy breakup, and at worst, it will become a deadly enemy. It is very unnecessary.
After looking at it for a while, he actually didn't see the reason. He had not been practicing for a long time, and he had not yet understood the Quanzhen Sect's partial Taoism. He was even more unfamiliar with Buddhism, which was completely in the opposite direction.
level.
The monk almost felt sick. He was about to do his own thing. He took only two steps and suddenly felt something. He looked to the other side of the circle of light and saw several ghosts hiding in the group of ghosts and quietly approaching the lamp circle.
He has been working hard in the soul realm for a long time, and yesterday he came into contact with higher-level ghosts, so his perception is very sensitive. He immediately discovered that these sneaky ones were approaching them. There were five in total, and they were all fierce ghosts!
It looked like it was organized. I was curious and stopped again, wanting to see the intellectual abilities of these evil ghosts. Of course, I also wanted to see the little monk in a hurry, hoping that his sword could help.
The five ghosts were more cunning than what he had encountered before. They followed the ordinary ghost ghosts into the lantern circle, looking completely confused and resisting, and then slowly approached the lantern in the process.
They know that lanterns are the source of purification! Hou Zi can guess what they will do next, but this is not the reason why he should speak. They are not enemies, and of course they cannot secretly stumble; but they are not friends either, and have no obligation to remind them.
.
In the world of spiritual practice, good intentions depend on the occasion. If you cannot see this clearly, it is normal for good intentions to bring about bad consequences.
The five ghosts are getting closer and closer, but under the cover of two to three hundred low-level ghosts, their actions are difficult to detect. This may be because the ghosts are good at disguise, but it is more likely that the young monk has used power beyond his ability.
, maybe he can indeed purify these soul objects, but there must be an upper limit.
Hou Ting waited quietly for the show to begin, full of expectations. When the evil ghosts were less than ten feet away from the lantern, the lantern-bearing monk finally felt something was wrong, but before he could make any move, the five evil ghosts roared in unison and headed towards
Pounce forward... The lantern-carrying monk's reaction was already very fast. He immediately slapped the lantern, and the beam of light swelled. It flickered and covered the two ghosts. Even with the strength of their souls, they were still illuminated and unable to move.
, this is already his greatest ability.
But there are still three ghosts who are not covered by quilts. They move quickly, two heads are attacking the monk holding the lantern, and one head is attacking the lantern.
The lantern-carrying monk was forced to have no choice but to react immediately. Should he care about himself? Or should he care about the lantern? The lantern is his natal Zen treasure, the essence of his more than ten years of practice, and the direction of his future practice. At this point,
, he has never doubted it; therefore, lives can be lost, but lanterns cannot be damaged!
Time was running out, and he didn't have time to think deeply. He flipped his left hand and found that the lantern had been put into the Na Zi Ring, allowing the ghosts to rush towards him. However, he could not hide from the two ghosts that rushed towards him.
The sword in his right hand was swung in a hasty and unorganized manner, and he was beaten back steadily. What's more terrible is that as soon as the lantern was taken away, the remaining ghosts were immediately rescued, and the restraints were no longer there!
Five fierce ghosts and hundreds of ordinary ghosts formed an iron wall and copper fence around the lantern-carrying monk in an instant. Their attacks were like violent winds and rain, penetrating every hole.
Finally, the lantern-carrying monk had to kill the first ghost, which was also the first ghost he killed this time in Ximeng Mountain. Then... suddenly there was a flash of sword light, in the extremely fast sword light storm.
, one after another, the fierce ghosts melted in the screams, and could not transform into entities. The ability of such spirit objects is limited after all.
"Just drive them away, there is no need to kill them all!" the young monk muttered while fighting back. Hou Zi ignored him at all.
"You were the one who killed first! And these things can be reasonable? Why don't you tell them that peace is the most important thing for everyone?" When the ghosts go crazy, nothing can stop them!
Especially after being purified inexplicably; at this time, even if the ghosts are held back by Hou Tzu, the lantern is useless, as it cannot deal with the group of ghosts that have fallen into a rage.
The only way was to eliminate them. Hou Zi moved among the ghost ghosts and purposefully killed five of them first, because he was worried that these creatures were too cunning and would turn around and run away when the situation was bad.
After all the ghosts were killed, the rest was very simple. This time, Hou Zi finally understood the strength of the ghosts. Their souls were tough, they had basic wisdom, they knew how to cooperate, and they were able to draw Qi and cultivate their energy with humans.
There is not much difference in the strength of the monks. Of course, he himself is not completely a Peiyuan monk, especially in terms of combat effectiveness.
Li Gui's shortcoming is that his attacks are rigid, lacking variety and methods, and are easy to predict. In addition, his vital points are still within the normal scope, so he is vulnerable to his sword.
But if it were someone else, without his ability to discern vital points and his habit of desperate attacks, it would be very difficult to deal with them, at least not so easily.
