Chapter 20 There are scholars who keep Haoran upright
When Liu Yi heard that someone in his dream asked him to kill the Ghost King.
Lu Qingping and Meng Hanchan immediately realized that this was the main plot mission.
Now think of those three tasks again.
The first one is to completely exterminate the Ghost King and bring him back to life, and the second one is to escort Liu Yi back home safely.
Now I have learned some key information from Liu Yi.
So what they, the reincarnators, need to do is to assist Liu Yi to kill the ghost king in the mountain. After that, they will escort Liu Yi, who is just an ordinary scholar, back to his hometown and retire with success.
This is the role they played in this ancient temple incident.
Liu Yi is the key to the extermination of Ghost King Xu Ling's rebirth. There is something important in him.
immediately.
They both thought of this at the same time.
Lu Qingping asked in time: "What else did that dream tell you?"
They need to know the key to killing the Ghost King.
Opportunity for resurrection from extinction...
It shouldn't be a forced killing.
Liu Yi glanced at the two of them, then pondered for a moment, pointed to a skin bag on his waist, and said: "The voice in the dream told Liu that there was a ghost king in this mountain fifty years ago, and he was killed by the three of them.
Still unable to eradicate the root cause, the lingering thoughts of the ghost king who was killed back then, nourished by the residual Yin Qi, parasitized and recovered in a skull in the ancient temple..."
"Then, the voice said that when I woke up, there would be a leather bag hanging on my waist. This leather bag was the sword bag he used to hold swords and human heads. The evil inside was threatening. As long as Liu went to the ancient temple, he would kill the ghost king.
If Cannian's skull is put into this skin, the ghost king will be beheaded."
Ghost King Cannian found a certain skull in the ancient temple. As long as he put it into the sword bag on Liu Yi's waist, the first mission would be completed.
This is extremely critical information.
Meng Hanchan glanced at the sword bag on Liu Yi's waist.
I didn't realize just now that the most important thing is actually in this scholar.
But at this time, Lu Qingping stared at Liu Yi and said: "You alone? You must know that there are a lot of evil spirits on this mountain. Even if there are seven of us, we may not be able to break into the ancient temple easily. You are a scholar.
, if you believe us, why not give us the sword bag, and we will escort you back to your hometown at dawn, and leave the matter of killing the evil ghosts to us professionals."
Half of what he said was indeed for Liu Yi, and the other half was about the second mission related to Liu Yi's safety.
It would be much easier if the scholar could be sent back in advance.
However, Liu Yi laughed loudly and said: "Little brother, aren't you only fourteen or fifteen years old? You have already started to kill demons. What is Liu afraid of? They are just monsters. Since you are killing harm for the people,
, how can we, the scholars, be timid?"
Lu Qingping was speechless after hearing Liu Yi's words.
Liu Yi stopped laughing and said slowly: "Actually, it's not that Liu doesn't trust you two. In fact, it's the excuse of the man in the dream that he wanted to open this sword bag, which got Liu's reading spirit, so,
Please take some of you to the ancient temple with Liu to help you."
As he spoke, he took out the sword bag and opened it himself. It was empty, but he could feel a sinister aura.
Immediately, he handed the bag to Lu Qingping and asked him to try it to prove that what he said was true.
Lu Qingping took it and tried tearing it a few times. She found that the mouth of the bag seemed to be growing together. Then she glanced at Meng Hanchan and shook her head.
It's weird, it really can't be opened.
The key to killing the Ghost King can only be unlocked by Liu Yi.
This basically requires them to take Liu Yi, an ordinary person, to the ancient temple to fight evil spirits.
They were asked to protect Liu Yi on the one hand when a group of evil spirits attacked and to protect themselves.
No wonder the rewards for the first and second tasks among the three tasks are the same. It turns out they are basically the same thing.
They were asked to protect Liu Yi as he went in and out of the ancient temple, use Liu Yi to open the sword bag, kill the ghost king, and then send him back to his hometown intact.
But this time.
Meng Hanchan looked at Liu Yi and said: "Study-like, that voice should be said to be haoran and upright."
Liu Yi smiled modestly and did not deny it.
Haoran is upright?
Lu Qingping was stunned for a moment.
This makes sense.
…
Although worldly practice is interpreted by six unified realms, each of the three religions has different emphasis.
Buddhism and Taoism emphasize the cultivation of the soul and the golden body. They believe that there is a "god" living in the human body. If the god is found and condensed, one can ascend from a human to a god.
Therefore, Buddhism is often the easiest place to produce land gods.
The most common martial artist only works on the physical body, believing that the human body is the greatest treasure house. By tapping the potential within, the Qi and blood can be refined to be as majestic as the rivers of the sun.
Wufu practice firmly believes that people are people, and they stand upright among heaven and earth.
However, manpower sometimes runs out, and the physical cultivation of many warriors is restricted to the Pure Yang Realm of Life Fire, and then they are forced to transfer to the Buddhist and Taoist system of becoming gods. There are few warriors in the world who can take the physical path to the end.
Confucianism and the Sword Immortal lineage pay attention to a stream of "Qi".
Qi is also called differently in the Confucian and Sword Immortal schools.
The Sword Sect calls it "Sword Qi".
This "qi" is the product of the unity of their thoughts, cultivation, and principles.
The sword of the Immortal Sword takes the wrong edge. With one sword, there is nothing in the world that cannot be cut. The whole life of practice is based on the sword spirit that is "extremely strong with the sword, extremely strong with the heart, and the heart of the sword is not stained by dust."
Confucianism is called "Haoran Zhengqi".
In order to pursue this spirit, scholars should cultivate themselves on daily basis, be sincere and sincere, in order to achieve the unity of knowledge and action, so that the body can be close to the most primitive Taoism.
The ultimate goal of Confucian practice is to become a saint, to be able to speak the law for the world, to explain principles and to formulate rules for all sentient beings in the world.
In Confucianism, this is called establishing words.
According to legend, it was the Confucian old man who established the rule that "immortals on the mountain are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the human dynasty".
That one has become a saint.
…
The three authentic religions are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Confucianism is the most profound religious sect, and the number of people with great supernatural powers produced by Confucianism has always been no less than that of Buddhism and Taoism.
In today's Sui and Tang dynasties, there are various Confucian sects and great scholars in charge.
Its program of practice lies in "sincerity, correct mind, self-cultivation, nourishing one's nature, studying things, and developing knowledge."
If one can be "sincere and upright", his character will be high and he will have "awesome and upright spirit".
If the heart is upright, the energy will be awe-inspiring.
Naturally, there is no fear of evil.
At this moment, Liu Yi, the scholar in front of him, had an aura of great righteousness about him.
Although he is not yet at the level of a saint like those gentlemen with great supernatural powers in the Confucian sect, this kind of extremely strong and upright scholar is indeed qualified to open the sword bag of his predecessors.
The place where Liu Yi fell asleep was the place where one of the strange heroes sacrificed himself and died fifty years ago.
This scholar passed by, and the senior who died here, Can Nian, discovered the scholar's righteousness in him, and it was indeed the most reasonable choice for him to be chosen as the person to inherit his legacy and drive away evil spirits.
Meng Hanchan also took the sword bag and looked at it, moved her lips slightly, and secretly told Lu Qingping using the secret transmission technique, "There is indeed an extremely powerful sword energy in the sword bag, but if any one of the seven of us wants to
If you want to open it, you must at least reach the realm of Heaven and Human Profound Entrance. It seems that he is the only one who can open the sword bag."
The sword energy in the sword bag should be the last touch of that strange hero.
Judging from the spiritual talismans on the ground, those three seniors were at least masters of the Celestial Realm, and the aura of heaven and earth had already appeared in their bodies.
Therefore, this sword bag is a type of magical weapon that is cultivated with the breath of heaven and earth.
And those strange heroes are righteous people. How can they not set up tricks to prevent evil people from getting their magic weapons and using them for evil?
If the sword bag had not been opened with force, then only the scholar's awe-inspiring righteousness would have been able to open the sword bag.
Those who can have great righteousness must have a pure and kind mind.
However, even if he can open the sword bag, Liu Yi is still an ordinary person.
Lu Qingping sighed in her heart, remembering the difference in Confucianism's practice.
Not counting practitioners who have gone through the Six Realms of Cultivation, true Confucian scholars will not be of any benefit to ordinary people in the early stages of their practice.
They are just being sincere, cultivating themselves, studying principles, studying knowledge, and cultivating that awe-inspiring righteousness. Everything is no different from ordinary people.
In the first few decades of practice, these people had no strength to bind a chicken and their bodies were weak. However, once they have mastered their knowledge and principles to the extreme, when they reach old age, they will truly be frightened by gods and ghosts.
If a scholar cultivates a noble and upright spirit and writes principles to respect heaven and earth, then heaven and earth will naturally respect the scholar.
This Liu Yi is obviously the latter type. Although he does not understand the six realms of cultivation, he has truly gained the essence of Confucianism.
However, for Lu Qingping and others, this will only make their task more than ten times more difficult.
Liu Yi is a man who has no power to restrain a chicken. If any little demon uses any means to hurt his body, he will be killed.
This requires them to do their best to protect Liu Yi and not let him get hurt at all, otherwise the mission will not be completed.
"It is indeed the space of reincarnation. If you can complete tasks easily and get merit, wouldn't the space of reincarnation be the best place for cultivation in the world?"
Lu Qingping smiled bitterly inwardly.
Meng Hanchan finally said: "Okay, if that's the case, then Brother Liu will go into the ancient temple with us. We still have five friends. Brother Liu will go back with us to meet them first."
