After Aqun returned home, Leon saw that it was late and said goodbye.
This time he did not bring a potted plant with him. Lin Feng guessed that he had either sent it somewhere to be cultivated, or left it in a place haunted by ghosts to monitor someone.
Doing so may have something to do with Lily's practice.
But there is one thing that Lin Feng doesn't understand. Is there any special meaning behind subduing ghosts to do evil?
The general plot of this movie is almost all about Leon catching and exorcising ghosts unilaterally, and there is no in-depth study of why the Li family and his wife were hunted down by innocent ghosts.
Later, the Li family accidentally fell from the rooftop and turned into ghosts. Leon led everyone to try to destroy the ghosts.
Among them, resisting the pursuit of the two fierce ghosts, Mr. and Mrs. Li, was probably for self-protection and had no profound meaning.
But expelling the ghost of grandma is obviously to protect the Li family and his wife.
After Lin Feng racked his brains and thought carefully about this, he came up with a new term, merit.
In the systems of Taoism, Buddhism and other sects, there is a theory of merit.
Merits are divided into yang virtues and yin virtues.
Yang De means doing good things for the sake of utilitarianism.
This kind of merit is also called retribution in this life. If it is repaid quickly, it cannot be accumulated.
The opposite of Yin De, to put it bluntly, is to do good deeds without leaving a name.
In Taoist culture, it advocates accumulating Yin virtue.
In the future, when the Yama Hall makes a judgment, it can also offset the karma and eliminate the sinful karma, and there is a high probability of reentering the human realm and being reincarnated as a human being.
Otherwise, if the book of Yin virtue is too thin and the fire of karma is strong, you may escape into the realm of animals, hungry ghosts, or even the Asura realm in your next life.
Looking back at Leon's approach, the purpose is obviously to accumulate a certain amount of moral virtue, but if it prevents the revenge of the wronged soul, it will also lose the moral virtue.
Lin Feng didn't understand. When encountering such evil spirits, the best way to seek revenge was to help them resolve their grievances.
Before he could think too much, seeing Leon walking out of Jiamao Building, Lin Feng quickly chased after him.
After leaving the gate, Leon did not take a taxi to Chongguang Mental Hospital, but walked alone in the alley.
When Lin Feng saw such suspicious behavior, he was generally sure that his guess was correct, but he still had to see their ultimate intention of accumulating merit.
Half an hour later.
Leon stopped in front of a dilapidated tenement building.
From Lin Feng's perspective, the pot of lilies was placed on the guardrail on the second floor of the tenement building.
This flower sways with the wind, changing its direction from time to time.
Leon climbed up to the second floor, leaned close to the lilies and whispered a few words. Lin Feng stood far away and could not hear the conversation clearly.
After a while, Leon picked up the potted plant and turned towards the depths of the corridor on the second floor.
Lin Feng waited outside for a while.
Not long after, a shrill ghostly scream suddenly erupted from the end of the corridor shrouded in darkness.
At the same time, he also sensed that the area was filled with strong ghost energy, and it was obvious that there were ghosts here as well.
"I caught you and you still want to harm others?"
At the end of the corridor, Leon's iconic laughter was also heard.
Lin Feng restrained his breath and continued to hide in the side corner.
They paused for a moment, then went down the stairs, and then left the tenement building.
Looking up, Leon was holding a ball-shaped object wrapped in plastic wrap in his hand.
Lin Feng extended his consciousness and felt a little bit, that there was actually a not very powerful ghost wrapped in that thing.
And judging from the direction Leon was walking, he was probably going to a public toilet.
Followed for a while.
At the door of a men's toilet, Lin Feng heard the sound of pumping water.
This method of flushing water through the toilet seems to be able to send ghosts back to the underworld in the movie.
"Lily, even though the building was robbed tonight, there was still something to gain."
Leon, who was washing his hands, said this with a hint of warmth in his tone.
Only Leon could hear Lily's voice, and Lin Feng could only infer it through Leon's conversation.
"Master Lin is not targeting you, the flower demon, at the moment, but you have to be careful in the future. His motives are not pure. If he hurts you, I, as a friend, would be remiss."
"..."
"You are right. We have helped nine hundred and ninety-eight people and accumulated enough virtue. Maybe there is only one person left, Lily, you can transform into a human."
Listening to their conversation, Lin Feng roughly understood what happened.
Leon is helping Lily exorcise ghosts and accumulate Yin virtue, so as to complete the transformation in another way.
It's just that Lin Feng has never understood this method.
There is no time to think too much, the completion goal of branch task 1 is just around the corner.
"Mr. leon!"
Lin Feng stepped out from the side and stood at the door of the public toilet like a tall green pine.
"Mr. Lin?"
Leon turned around and saw that under the bright moon, half of Lin Feng's face was shrouded in shadow, looking a bit cold.
When they realized they were being followed, the lilies also reacted and kept waving their flowers, as if they were telling something.
"Mr. Lin, are you following me?"
"You don't have to be afraid. I just want to know the purpose of what you do. Tell me and I will leave immediately."
Lin Feng's eyes were filled with ice, and there was a hint of menace in his calm eyes.
Leon knew that Lin Feng was difficult to deal with, and given the current situation, he could only tell the truth.
"Mr. Lin, I respect you for your superb martial arts skills and your own pursuits. But Lily's collection of yin virtues to shape her dharma body and achieve the purpose of transforming does not violate the rules of a Taoist priest. You should not deal with her."
"It turns out it's about cultivating merit and Dharmakaya, but this new method shouldn't be something that an ignorant flower demon can understand, right?"
Seeing that the system had not prompted yet, Lin Feng continued to inquire further.
At this moment, the lilies suddenly changed. The stems trembled, and pollen particles were continuously released from the stamens, flowing along the air and sticking to Lin Feng.
The next second, Lin Feng seemed to be able to hear the other party's voice, which sounded like a mosquito.
"Master Lin, when I was at Baiyuan Garden in Dongpingzhou, a policeman with unibrows saw that I was naturally intelligent and capable of becoming a successful person, so he chose to preach enlightenment and gave me this set of merit-building practices...
..”
Lin Feng didn't fully believe Lily's explanation, but then he thought about it, how could someone who could teach the cultivation techniques be the same as him?
Wait...unibrow?
This important piece of information was almost ignored.
In those Hong Kong films that are deep in Raymond Lam's memory, there are very few characters with unibrows, perhaps Uncle Jiu played by Lin Zhengying.
In modern cities, there are also several Hong Kong films about Lin Ching-ying.
"Where is that man?"
"I am not sure."
The lilies were swaying their flowers from side to side, and it seemed that they were not lying.
At this time, the system also issued a prompt.
[Branch task 1 completed. Reward obtained: 1 blank blue symbol. Current number: 5]
"finished?"
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. The price of this rare blue talisman paper on the market should be quite high.
Otherwise, He Fenni wouldn't have only bought 5 tickets last time.
When he came to his senses, Leon picked up the potted plant and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute Leon, although you and I are acquaintances, there is something I have to remind you."
As Lin Feng spoke, he passed by the other party: "If you want to accumulate moral virtue in the future, don't ignore the feelings of the wronged souls."
Click to stop.
After explaining his good suggestions, Lin Feng turned around and left.
Leon, who was left in the evening breeze, gradually understood Lin Feng's intention. The potted plant in his hand held up its flowers, as if smiling.
After leaving the alley, it was almost dawn.
From morning to noon, Lin Feng visited several companies that he had noted down before, and used some magic tricks to forge investigation orders, and successfully obtained the contract records of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
All the information and inferences were then integrated and sent anonymously to the local police station.
Returning to the building again, Lin Feng also had plans for the remaining three branch tasks.
