At this time, Li Qiye looked at the mountains in front of him, sighed softly, and said: "You have to walk your own path after all, but the price is hard to say. If it is the price you pay,
That’s okay, but what if someone else is the price?”
"Tao, Tao, Tao..." Li Xian wanted to call out "Fellow Taoist", but he couldn't do it for a long time, and in the end his face turned red from holding back.
"Then let's call him Young Master." Li Qiye smiled lightly.
Li Xian was relieved and said, "Sir, why do you say this is the price?"
"Because when you ignite the desires of others, you are also igniting your own desires." Li Qiye said lightly: "Desire is like a gem. When you have enough clear vision, it will always attract
Come and take a peek."
"Is desire also being spied on?" Li Qiye's words immediately made Li Xian stunned for a moment.
Li Qiye couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "The desires of ordinary people are not worth mentioning. Even if they are not worth mentioning, they will still be of use value. When you want something,
Or, if this person happens to have something, can he use you or enslave you?"
"That's true." Li Qiye said this, and Li Xian suddenly understood.
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." Li Qiye gently patted Li Xian on the shoulder.
Li Xian couldn't help but hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, wouldn't it be best to have no desires?"
Li Qiye glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "Who doesn't have desires?"
"Like an eminent monk, like a holy Buddha." Li Xian pondered for a moment and couldn't help but say.
Li Qiye couldn't help laughing and shook his head gently, and said: "As a mortal, when you want to become a monk, it is a desire. When you want to become a Taoist monk, it is also a desire, like to save all sentient beings.
, when one becomes a holy Buddha, this is also a desire.”
"It seems so." Li Qiye's words made Li Xian stunned. It felt like a window had opened for him.
"Then, what should we do? No matter what we do, we will have desires." Li Xianyou asked.
"Having desire is not necessarily a bad thing. Desire itself is neither good nor bad." Li Qiye said lightly: "It does not exist because of good or bad."
"Human beings are not gold and stone, yes." Li Xian couldn't help but murmured.
Li Qiye glanced at him and said calmly: "As long as there is life, there is desire, but what you have to do is not to be controlled by desire, not to be enslaved by desire, but to be the master of desire, your own desire,
It should be controlled by yourself, and it should be controlled and released by yourself. When you are the master of your own desires, desire is not so scary. In fact, it will become your mentor and helpful friend. It can drive you forward and it can drive you.
You grow further."
"Become the master of desire." When he heard Li Qiye's words, Li Xian couldn't help but murmur to himself, savoring it carefully.
"Go back, it's getting dark." Li Qiye raised his head and glanced at the sky before walking.
Finally, Li Xian came to his senses and hurried to catch up with Li Qiye.
When we returned to Li's house, it was almost dark, and Li Qiye checked into the small courtyard. When Li Xian left, he was very busy.
"What do you have to say?" Li Qiye glanced at Li Xian and said with a faint smile.
Li Xian laughed dryly and said, "Master, our Li family is not very peaceful, not very peaceful."
"Why isn't it peaceful?" Li Qiye smiled faintly.
Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In the end, he had to say: "It's just night. It's a bit uneven at night."
"How uneasy is it?" Li Qiye said slowly.
"It should be haunted." Li Xian finally said truthfully.
"Haunted?" Li Qiye couldn't help but smile: "It should be?"
"Actually, I can't tell clearly." Li Xian said truthfully: "It's haunted after midnight, but I can't see anything, and I can't find anything. But don't worry, Master, as long as you close the door, what?
It’s nothing, I just let it go, I’ve almost gotten used to it, and it won’t do anything to hurt anyone.”
"How long?" Li Qiye smiled and became interested.
"It's not a long time." Li Xian pondered for a moment, counted the time, and said: "It's been a while, several years, I remember it wasn't there when I was a kid, and then it suddenly became haunted, and this would happen every night.
It's a strange thing, but there's no malicious intent, maybe it's just ghosts having fun at night."
"What do you think it is?" Li Qiye looked at Li Xian meaningfully.
Li Xian's scalp was numb when Li Qiye saw him like this, and he felt as if he was being haunted.
"I don't think there's any malice in this." In the end, Li Xian had no choice but to laugh dryly and said truthfully: "It's also possible that our parents passed away and couldn't let me live alone in this world, so I came back to see you.
look."
"Of course, it is also possible that they are our ancestors. After all, you know, Master, that since the Immortal Killing War, so many people from our Li family have died in the battle, and they are buried in the ancestral mausoleum at the back. Over time, the ancestral mausoleum has a Yin energy.
And I am the only one left in the Li family. This Yang Qi cannot suppress the Yin Qi, and it is normal to be haunted. Master, do you think so?" Li Xian said this and was busy explaining.
"So, you are used to it." Li Qiye patted Li Xian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It didn't hurt you. You think it might be because after your parents died, they were reluctant to leave you alone in the world, fearing that
You are lonely, I come to see you often."
"I, I, I have such an idea to make the young master laugh. Isn't this a bit childish?" When Li Qiye said this, Li Xian couldn't help but blush, feeling a little embarrassed.
"There is nothing naive about this. After all, in a huge family, only yourself is left in the end. It is normal to miss your parents and ancestors. When you are alone in this world, occasionally
, I think it would be nice to have a ghost to accompany me." Li Qiye couldn't help but smile lightly.
Li Qiye's words made Li Xian stunned. Finally, he blurted out: "When Master is alone, have you ever thought about having a ghost to accompany you?"
Li Xian's words made Li Qiye laugh. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you are a monk, do you think there are ghosts in this world of monks?"
"This..." For a moment, Li Xian was a little unable to answer. Finally, he pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe there is, maybe there is not."
"If there are ghosts, and so many people have died throughout the ages, then there must be more ghosts than people. In the long years, have you heard of any ghost who left his name? Have you heard of any ghost cultivator?
Successed? Is it difficult for humans to succeed? Why can’t ghosts succeed?" Li Qiye smiled faintly.
If Li Qiye said this, it really confused Li Xian. If there are really ghosts, there must be many ghosts. Throughout the ages, people have turned into ghosts after death. There must be more ghosts than people. So,
People can cultivate to become great emperors and ancestors, but can ghosts cultivate to become great emperors and ancestors?
"Well, then, I heard that Yuanyin Immortals and Ghosts seem to be different from others." Li Xian was not particularly sure and said: "There are some rumors that Yuanyin Immortals and Ghosts are cultivated by ghosts.
of."
"No ghost can succeed in cultivation. If a ghost succeeds in cultivation, it must be a fake ghost, or there is a ghost in his heart." Li Qiye smiled faintly.
"Is there a ghost in your heart?" Such words really made Li Xian suddenly have a strange thought.
"There are no real ghosts in the world." Li Qiye patted his shoulder and said with a faint smile: "If there are ghosts, there is only one reason: someone is doing it."
"This, this, this is impossible." Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Sir, in our Li family, except for a few servants, I am the only one left. It is impossible for others to do tricks.
Even if they are servants, they are just mortals and do not have the ability to do evil."
"What if it's not a human being?" Li Qiye smiled leisurely.
"If it's not a human, then it's a ghost -" Li Xian blurted out.
Li Qiye took a look at the world of the Li family and the ancestral mausoleum in the back mountain, smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "Whoever says it's not a human must be a ghost."
"What is it if it's not a ghost?" Li Xian couldn't help but asked blankly.
If it's not a human being or a ghost, what is it? Li Xian couldn't figure it out. He also said: "Sir, even if someone is up to something, my Li family doesn't have anything valuable now. It's already a dilapidated home.
It’s not like he’s here to cause trouble or anything like that.”
Li Xian's words are not wrong. After all, the Li family is now in decline. In the eyes of mortals, there are still valuable things. However, in the eyes of strong monks, such a run-down family has nothing valuable anymore.
Such a dilapidated house is certainly not worth messing with.
"If it's not a trick, then you are right." Li Qiye showed a faint smile.
"What is that?" When Li Qiye said this, Li Xian suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"It's haunted." Li Qiye smiled thickly, patted Li Xian's shoulder and said, "You're right, it must be haunted."
"Don't scare me." Li Xian was so frightened by Li Qiye that he trembled and took several steps back.
Originally, he was not afraid that his Li family was haunted. Even if it was haunted, it would not cause any harm to anyone. At most, it would just be the restlessness after the death of the ancestors, so he felt at ease.
However, when Li Qiye said it now, it felt weird, as if there was something different here. The words made Li Xian's hair grow cold, and he was a little afraid of this kind of haunting.
