"You stinky bald ass, you only dare to bully little ghosts like us, ahhh! When the Ghost King revives, you will die a horrible death!!!"
The woman in red kept rolling on the ground, with white smoke floating on her body. She looked extremely painful.
"Amitabha, your obsession is too deep and entangled with resentment. I will save you now."
The white-robed monk remained expressionless as he came directly in front of the red-robed woman. He then slapped her with his palm, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere, turning the red-robed woman into powder on the spot.
The shrill sound disappeared from then on.
Everything returned to calm.
Ye Ping saw all of this, his eyes full of novelty. This was the first time he saw monks fighting. Although it was a crushing defeat, it was also quite exciting.
However, Ye Ping keenly discovered that after the red-clothed woman died, a faint light entered the body of the white-clothed monk.
"A Buddhist disciple?"
But Su Changyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but speak in surprise.
Taoism was the only religion respected in the State of Jin, and there were very few Buddhist disciples, especially in Qingzhou. Except in some ancient temples, Su Changyu had never seen a Buddhist disciple, especially such a powerful one.
At this moment, the white-robed monk restrained all his magical powers and looked at Ye Ping and Su Changyu.
The two were not far apart, so the white-robed monk looked at Su Changyu and clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Su Changyu came back to his senses and bowed as well, not losing the Taoist etiquette.
"Master, may I ask what happened?"
Just at this moment, Ye Ping's voice rang out.
He seemed very curious and didn't know what was going on.
Hearing Ye Ping's voice, the white-robed monk answered immediately.
"Master, I was ordered to come to the Linhe Ghost Tomb to deal with some matters. On the way, I met this female ghost in red, so I helped her to transcend."
Although the white-robed monk was ferocious to these evil creatures, he was very gentle to the righteous monks. He did not put on airs at all and was extremely polite on the contrary.
But this answer made Ye Ping a little at a loss for words.
Is this also called salvation?
Thank you on behalf of the female ghost in red.
But the next moment, Su Changyu's voice rang out.
"Your Excellency, are you saying that this is the riverside ghost grave?"
Su Changyu looked very calm, but his heart was shaken.
"Don't the two Taoists know?"
The monk in white was a little surprised. He thought that these two people also came to the Linhe Ghost Tomb to pray for the reincarnation of the resentful souls.
The next moment, Su Changyu fell silent.
The ghost grave by the river!
Su Changyu looked very calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
There are two forbidden areas in Qingzhou, Linhe Ghost Tomb and Yunwu Mountains.
These two places are places that the monks from Qingzhou dare not enter rashly.
The Yunwu Mountains are relatively easy to deal with. As long as you don’t go deep into them, it’s unlikely to encounter monsters.
But the Linhe Ghost Tomb is different. Without the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, entering here would be seeking death.
This is impossible.
How could I have ended up at the Linhe Ghost Grave by following the map?
Su Changyu was completely confused.
This is outrageous.
"Linhe Ghost Grave?"
Ye Ping was also surprised.
He knew about the Linhe Ghost Tomb. There was a book called Qingzhou Chronicles in the sect's scripture library that recorded it.
About one hundred and fifty years ago, there was a ghost cultivator who, in order to refine a treasure, massacred an ancient city with blood. The name of the ancient city was called Linhe Ancient City.
Millions of people died in this catastrophe, causing the ancient city to be filled with wronged souls.
The Jin court joined forces with the ten major immortal sects of Jin, and even invited Buddhist masters to suppress the ghost cultivator together.
But even so, in order to completely suppress the Ghost King, the Ten Great Immortal Sects suffered heavy losses. If it were not for the high monks of Buddhism who sacrificed their lives to cast the Great Sun Demon Subduing Seal, it would have been difficult to suppress the Ghost King.
It is precisely because of this that the State of Jin allowed Buddhist monks to enter. Otherwise, Buddhist disciples would not be able to enter the State of Jin.
Sectarian disputes are no small matter.
But even if the Ghost King was subdued, the ancient city of Linhe became a ghost zone. How could millions of wronged souls be saved all at once?
Moreover, each of these wronged souls has deep resentment. They died tragically and were sacrificed to death, so naturally it would not be so easy for them to be converted.
In addition, this place where wronged souls gather is also a paradise for ghost cultivators and evil cultivators. Over time, the Linhe Ghost Tomb has become the most terrifying place in Qingzhou.
Of course, this kind of place also has its advantages. People from the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism can all come here to temper their minds and practice Taoism, or they can, like this white-robed monk, liberate the souls of the dead and gain the power of merit.
As long as you don't die, it will be of great benefit.
But for Qi-cultivating cultivators like Su Changyu and Ye Ping, this place is terrifying.
The evil spirit in this area alone is not something that a Qigong practitioner can withstand.
"It's over, it's over, it's over!"
"Dead, dead, dead!"
"Linhe Ghost Grave, Linhe Ghost Grave!"
"Why am I here?"
"What sin did I commit in my previous life?"
Su Changyu was in a mixed mood.
He never thought that one day he would come to this damn place.
He would rather go to the Yunwu Mountains than come to this damn place.
No matter what, as long as you don't go too deep into the Yunwu Mountains, you won't encounter any trouble.
The ghost graves by the river are different.
In this evil place filled with millions of resentful souls, there is no need for any ghost cultivators to cause trouble for you.
If you stand here, evil spirits may enter your body at any time.
At that time, the worst case scenario is a serious illness, and at worst, you may die.
It's over, it's over, it's over.
Master, it’s all because of your bad mouth. Now, the old man is really going to send the young off.
Su Changyu felt extremely uncomfortable.
He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
Just at this moment, the white-robed monk suddenly spoke.
"My two benefactors, you must have strayed into this place by mistake, right? Do you need me to take you away?"
The monk opened his mouth and asked.
After hearing this, Su Changyu suddenly came back to his senses.
Take me away?
Yeah.
Su Changyu was extremely excited, but considering that his junior brother was right next to him, Su Changyu took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.
"I wanted to use this place to hone my junior brother, but the Qingzhou Sword Competition is about to begin, so I decided not to stay here for long. Master, please lead the way."
Su Changyu's tone was calm and his words were polite, but he carried a sense of superiority.
This gesture made the white-robed monk slightly stunned.
He was silent for a while.
Because he immediately noticed the realm of the two people in front of him, and it seemed that the highest was only the fifth level of Qi training.
Out of Buddhist compassion, and because the other party was a Taoist disciple, he offered his help.
But...why does it feel a bit weird?
But the white-robed monk didn't think much about it.
He himself did not like to argue. In addition, Taoism was the only religion respected in Jin State. Although Buddhist disciples had settled in Jin State, they were still not well received. In order to make the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism more harmonious, many Buddhist disciples would help Taoist disciples when they met them while traveling.
It's also an expression of attitude.
After all, sectarian disputes are terrifying. There are so many things involved. There is no right or wrong, only different positions.
"The two Taoist priests please follow me."
"A ghost array has been set up here. No matter what happens later, I hope the two Taoists can be firm in their hearts and not be bewildered by ghosts, otherwise it will be troublesome."
The white-robed monk said this, telling Ye Ping and the other two what kind of formation was there and asking them to pay attention.
Ye Ping and Su Changyu both nodded, thanked him, and followed the white-robed monk.
Along the way, the three of them had a brief conversation.
Ye Ping also knew the name of the white-robed monk.
Kūkai.
The second generation disciple of Xiaoling Temple in Jin State.
Su Changyu doesn't talk much.
It was mainly the constant communication between Ye Ping and Kong Hai.
Kūkai also had a very good temper. He didn't show any impatience at all and basically answered every question.
It was also because of this that Ye Ping knew that the light that appeared when Kong Hai was saving the female ghost was the power of merit.
"Donor Ye, the power of merit has many benefits. It can be used to offer sacrifices to the gods in exchange for treasures of merit, and it can also be used to practice the Golden Body of Buddhism, including Taoist methods, and it can also improve cultivation, which is better than spiritual stones and elixirs."
"It's just that the power of merit is extremely difficult to obtain. Generally speaking, merit can only be obtained by saving the souls of evil spirits. The power of merit brought by the female ghost that I saved just now is only equivalent to the spiritual energy of a low-grade spirit stone. The only benefit is that the power of merit is pure and spotless."
Kukai explained the power of merit.
Ye Ping listened with great interest.
"Then how can we achieve salvation?"
Ye Ping inexplicably became interested in the method of salvation.
The main thing is that you can gain the power of merit by liberating the resentful souls, and the power of merit is equivalent to a panacea, with many benefits.
What Ye Ping likes most is that it can be used as spiritual energy.
He lacks nothing now, but what he lacks most is spiritual energy.
"There are two ways to save the dead. One is to save the dead by cutting off karma, which is to forcibly save the dead by Buddhist or Taoist methods. This is to exorcise demons and eliminate evil, cut off karma and protect the Dharma, but this kind of salvation will gain very little merit."
"The second method is to pray for salvation through scriptures. With the supreme magic, you can influence the resentful souls, make them put down their butcher knives, and become a Buddha on the spot. This method is extremely difficult and only high-level monks can do it. If you succeed in influencing the resentful souls, you will gain a lot of merit."
Kong Hai said seriously.
Ye Ping suddenly realized.
Just at this time, Kong Hai continued speaking.
"If Mr. Ye is interested in the method of salvation, I have half a scripture for salvation here, and I would like to let you read it."
So said Kūkai.
