Chapter 167 Blessing Curse Restriction

She said softly: "I was originally a locust tree on this mountain. I listened to the monks in the temple chanting scriptures day and night and gained wisdom, so I turned into a demon.

Later, under the care of the monks in the temple, I gradually understood some principles of life.

It's just that I was born at an untimely time. Not long after I became a Taoist, I encountered a great change in the world. There was a big hole in this mountain.

All of a sudden, Yin Sha soared to the sky, and countless resentful spirits and fierce ghosts gushed out of it.

In order to cope with the changes in the sky, almost all the monks in the temple died.

Although the hole was blocked afterwards, there were still omissions.

Among them, the ghosts that ran out from time to time and the evil spirits that leaked out disturbed the surroundings and disturbed the peace.

Even so, it's nothing in my opinion, the monks in the temple have done enough.

I never thought that those monks would directly use their bodies to fill the passage.

Fear, fear, helplessness, reluctance...

All kinds of lust, fear, and desire are written on the face, but there is no trace of regret.

They are all so righteous, letting the fire burn their bodies, and just chant the Amitabha Buddha.

Generation after generation, they used their own bones to cast a pagoda in this way.

It was not until the inheritance in the temple was cut off that the hole was completely sealed.

At that time, my mind was weak and I couldn't resist such a shock.

In addition, when the sky changed, a drop of Yasha's blood essence fell on me by accident.

Affected by Yasha's evil thoughts, he fell directly into the devil's way.

He only wanted to achieve great magic power, and took his body away from here completely. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to suck (prevent) essence and blood to refine his own magic power.

Later, I saw the essence and blood of some men who were addicted to lust (prevention) and profit, which could arouse the breath of Yaksha essence and blood.

Only some female ghosts were left behind to seduce those weak-minded men for me to refine blood essence.

These days, in this ghost passage, I often think of those monks before they died.

At first I thought it was a demon.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that what impresses me the most is not the fear of powerlessness when the sky changes, but the face of the monk before he dies.

They haunted me all the time, making my memory still fresh to this day.

But on the other hand, this is not necessarily my demon.

The demon that has followed me to this day. "

Having said this, the Dryad lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Then he raised his head suddenly, looked at him, and roared hoarsely.

"I envy their feelings of sacrificing their lives to defend the Tao and their determination without regret, but..."

His face was ferocious, his eyes were about to burst, the red light in his eyes flickered unsteadily, he couldn't stop panting heavily, and his mood fluctuated violently presumably.

Then he smiled sadly, his expression a little blurred and a little crazy.

"But, I can't do it!

I am afraid of death! After being ignorant for hundreds of years, he finally attained the Tao.

I was terrified of losing it all and going back to that muddled state again.

That kind of state where lightning strikes fire, insects eat and ants eat, and even cuts with knives and axes without consciousness.

I don't want to be like that again, so I desperately increase my mana and want to control my freedom.

So I will do whatever it takes to kill my soul.

but……"

Having said that, there was a sudden pause, his expression was startled, and then he lowered his head and said as if sighing.

"But I really envy them that they can face death so calmly, and I...

But really can't do it.

Those monks taught me how to survive and live, but they didn't have time to teach me how to face death calmly.

like them... like..."

In the end, it was already low and inaudible.

"Oh~"

Ling Qing had been listening quietly, but seeing her like this now, she couldn't help sighing.

"It is the nature of life to fear death and seek survival, so there is no need to do so.

Those great monks are able to see death as home because they firmly believe in it.

Death is not the end for them, but the beginning of the ultimate bliss and great liberation.

You have been struggling with this because you have never found your own way in your heart.

That's why I feel anxious. "

Seeing her like this, Ling Qing felt sorry for her.

It's not that I agree with what she did, but isn't the purpose of cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao to be able to live forever and see for a long time, and feel at ease?

Now I am not much different from her, but I am just a person who fears death and wants to survive in the world.

Ling Qing waved his whisk, and then there was a sound of chains rattling.

The seventy-two demonic chains that were originally tied to her body changed for a while, untied, and hung on the red robe like a decoration.

The Dryad staggered a step, got up and stood up, and moved his hands and feet.

Looking at the fierce light in Lingqing's eyes, she seemed eager to try.

But she closed her eyes slowly after all, and opened them again after a long pause.

Standing there calmly, waiting for his next move.

Ling Qing could see her changes clearly, but she wasn't worried.

It seems that he undid the shackles of the tree demon and set her free, but the chains of the devil are still on her body.

If she had an unruly heart and broke out into trouble, the chain could directly trap her again in an instant.

Seeing her like this, Lingqing bowed and sat in front of the altar.

When he made up his mind, the tree trunk under him had arched a high platform, on which there was a futon wrapped with branches and leaves for him to sit on.

There is also a low platform on the side in front of him, and there is also a futon on it.

Ling Qing stretched out her hand, led it there, and said to the tree demon.

"Come and sit down."

The Dryad didn't make a sound, walked to the stage silently, sat down, and saluted him slightly.

Seeing this, Ling Qing nodded her head back and continued.

"Since you want to live, I will treat you as if you have fulfilled what you said at the beginning, and you are willing to protect the Dharma for me, so as to protect the safety of the temple."

The tree demon paused, seeing Lingqing looking at her all the time, bowed his head and said.

"It's all up to the Taoist leader to arrange."

"Well."

Seeing her responding, Lingqing flicked the whisk in her hand.

"Now that you have developed a kind heart, you should treat yourself as a treasure, so don't sink into it again.

In the future, Pindao can also teach you the method of nectar to purify karma like Xiaoqian and others.

You entrust your own sinful karma to protect you from sinful karma.

During the cleansing period, you can listen to and read more Taoist scriptures on weekdays, and find out some truths from them.

When the meritorious deeds are completed in the future, then walk in the world of mortals, while doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and cultivating kindness.

While going through all kinds of life, find your own way. "

The dryad stared blankly at him for a while, as if he saw the shadows of those great monks from him, but it was different after all.

But she couldn't tell where the difference was.

I just feel that this appearance makes her very envious, and she is not as ashamed and self-deprecating as facing the monk.

It took a long time before I bowed and bowed, "Thank you, Daoist, for your mercy!"

"You don't have to, just get up."

Ling Qing waved her whisk to lift her up, then got up and said.

"Let's follow Pindao."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the hole of the Dikuixing tree, and walked towards the evil sea.

The tree demon followed him obediently, and saw him walking directly to the sea of ​​evil.

And walking like walking on flat ground, I couldn't help being stunned.

She lowered her head and looked at the seemingly calm, but actually extremely ferocious Demon Sea below her.

During the period of being trapped, in addition to being drawn by the big array to resist the power that burst out from time to time from the Nether Channel, he also had to suffer from the evil spirits eating his soul all the time.

She naturally knew the danger of this demon, but she just looked at Lingqing who had walked away from the distance without looking back.

With a heartbeat, he stepped down.
