The Exorcist

Chapter 23 Story

"Azhan, have you carefully looked at the evil aura on your father's body?" Uncle Bao asked.

Ruan Zhan thought for a moment, "He went to Tietou Mountain to vent his bad energy in that naturally unconcentrated place, but it shouldn't have any effect. I feel that the bad breath on his body is even worse than the last time we met. Then At that time, he was still able to suppress the evil energy from showing up outside his body, so I didn't even notice that it was the Blood Wood Sword that sensed it. But this time - it was already obvious." He thought of the black clouds around his father, and felt a rush in his heart. pain.

"Apart from this, didn't you find anything else?" Uncle Bao asked again.

Ruan Zhan shook his head and was a little confused for a moment. He didn't understand what Uncle Bao meant? Could it be that there are other secrets about my father?

"It's a pity that you are so gifted, but you refuse to take a serious look at your father. Didn't you realize that the evil aura in him was not the same, but that he was pulling him to prevent it from dissipating too quickly?" He said so sadly. , which shocked several juniors.

"Aren't you going to let go of the evil spirit? Why are you still holding on?" Xiaoxia asked everyone's question.

Uncle Bao did not answer, but looked at Ruan Zhan. Ruan Zhan lowered his head and tried to recall the scene when he met his father that day. It was something he had never been willing or dared to recall in detail. Today, after being reminded by Uncle Bao, he thought about it carefully. Suddenly, his heart was beating wildly and he couldn't explain. To be specific, I just feel like something is wrong!

He glanced at Uncle Bao, who nodded, "Yes, your father has more than one evil aura. Now let me tell you why. You must think that he has the aura of a great evil person. He must have done some great evil thing, why has no one ever thought that he was like this because he did something great good?"

"Good deeds?" Bao Datong asked anxiously: "Did my uncle get hurt by some evil thing when he was doing good deeds? Or did he go crazy during a fight?"

"Let me tell you a legend first!" Uncle Bao suddenly said.

Bao Datong and Xiao Xia both had impatient tempers and couldn't bear to listen to any stories at this time, but Uncle Bao didn't give them a chance to object at all and started talking slowly.

"In Buddhism, there is a Suffering Buddha. I wonder if you have heard of it. His statue is very ugly and he always looks sad. Few people are willing to worship him. However, in order to save the world, he took all the suffering in the world on himself. On your body. Even if you have never heard of this Buddha, you have heard of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, right? The jade amulet around Xiaoxia’s neck is his image. He once said that as long as there is a resentful soul in hell, he will He will never leave hell and never become a Buddha. These are very great spiritual sentiments and a very compassionate heart. This is great love, and he loves the world. But there is another legend, but I think that person is even greater. He glanced at the four juniors and continued: "According to legend, all the evil in the world will be absorbed by the righteousness, and locked in a place like a huge container, waiting for the two qi of heaven and earth to guide or refine the evil." . However, because the destructive power of "evil" is too great, the container will be damaged every few hundred years. At this time, many practitioners need to work together to trap the evil energy for a while, and then wait for the container to repair naturally. They put them in it.

In this kind of reincarnation unknown to the world, the struggle is very fierce, and it is not as easy as I said. It is always accompanied by heavy casualties of practitioners. Sometimes, because the power of evil is too great, practitioners The power is too weak, causing the evil to fail. At this time, this invisible evil spirit will flow into the human world, invade people's souls, make people cruel and vicious, induce people to do evil, or cause wars, until people are devastated and people are in dire straits. I don’t know what year it was, but this container was about to break again. But at that time, because of the failure of the last operation to trap evil, not only did the evil spirit invade the world, but it also sacrificed most of the people with cultivation. After so many years, there was no one. Recovery, so this operation seems to be unsuccessful. And if it fails twice in a row, the human world will definitely be unable to withstand the repeated attacks of bad energy, and fragile things like kindness and beauty will be wiped out!

In order to solve this matter, all Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, and even some benevolent spirits and monsters, gathered together to find a solution. But everyone has made all the efforts, but it still has no effect. Some people are willing to sacrifice their own cultivation and life, and are even willing to be wiped out to save the world, but it doesn't help. Seeing that the container of evil was about to burst, one of them finally figured out a way to share it and eat it. He knocked out the friend who was guarding the container and opened the container a small crack, allowing the evil spirit to slowly escape. He just waited aside, and as soon as the bad energy was released, he directed it to himself, using himself as a container, and absorbed part of the evil energy. In this way, the power of evil is divided into two parts, and the power of each part is greatly weakened. As long as other Taoists deal with it separately, they will definitely survive this disaster successfully.

He knew that even though his cultivation was the deepest, after enduring these evil spirits, his character was still eroded by the evil spirits, so he would lose himself in an instant, and the good master of the sect became a devil. And after that, he must ensure that others kill him with the most cruel means and destroy his soul, so that he can die with the evil spirit. Death is not a terrible thing for practitioners. For those who are dedicated to exterminating demons, some people can do it, but what they have to bear is a greater sacrifice.

Other sacrifices will always be known, appreciated, and remembered by others, but no one will understand his sacrifice, and he can only be hated, ridiculed, and scorned. He did not die as a hero, but as a demon reviled by the world. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is great because he is willing to bring light to resentful souls and evil ghosts; Suffering Buddha is great because he is willing to endure any sorrow and pain for mankind. Although they sacrifice for the world without asking for anything in return, they gain the world's benefits. His respect and admiration has earned him the sincere admiration and gratitude of the world. But what about him? He died with not even a trace of his soul left, but no one knew the sacrifices he made. He saved the world with his own efforts, but he will be remembered by future generations as a bad guy who was poisoned by evil because of his evil thoughts. Live, or simply forget about it!

And the moment he introduced the evil spirit into himself, the evil spirit became one with his soul. If after he becomes a demon, other Taoist friends can beat him to ashes, it will be lucky for him. However, if they cannot completely eliminate him because of the lack of strength of the Taoist friends, then his soul will fall into the endless hell and endure the pain. Never-ending pain. And no one will know this. Even he himself has lost his will. From then on, he no longer knows his relatives or friends, and has completely become a devil with no heart and suffering in hell.

Before doing this, he carefully considered every detail and understood the consequences of doing so. However, he had an unparalleled heart of compassion, so he was willing to make sacrifices without asking for anything in return or gratitude. He understands, and would rather lose himself, bear infamy, and become a demon for the people who slandered and misunderstood him to save thousands of people! "

At this point, Uncle Bao's throat was choked, and the four juniors were also sighing. Xiaoxia's tears also fell, "What happened next? Was he so unjustly accused?"

"He thought so and did so, but his best friend accidentally discovered it. After drinking and talking with his friend, he took advantage of his friend's unpreparedness to erase his memory, and then he followed the plan without hesitation. That night, just before he became a demon, he tried his best to awaken other Taoist friends, including his friends, and performed a good show of people's hearts turning to evil. Then he was killed by the Taoist friends as he wished. He was killed. Everyone called him a hypocrite and misunderstood his character. However, it was considered God's will for him to attract evil and make other people successfully trapped in evil. No one knew what he had done for this. However, there are too few skilled masters of this generation, and even if he used the strategy of dividing and eating, those people still could not completely eliminate the bad energy in his body, so that he has been suffering in the endless hell since then."

"What about now? Is he still suffering? Is he the only one who suffers?" Xiaoxia asked again.

"Silly boy, if this story can be passed down, it must be because his friend later recovered his memory. Otherwise, how would we know? Although we don't know his name, at least we know his story. As for whether he is still alive I don’t know about suffering in endless hell.”

"What does this have to do with my father?" Although Ruan Zhan was immersed in the story like everyone else, appreciating the great personality of the legendary man, he was relatively sober after all, and he immediately thought of his father. Why did Uncle Bao tell this story? Why did he say that his father had difficulties? Why did he say that they all misunderstood his father? Did his father do the same thing?

Uncle Bao pondered for a moment, "Azhan, your father hasn't told you, right? My relationship with him is the same as yours and Wan Li. We have been friends since childhood. I think he didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would come." Ask me to ask about him, because I really know a lot. Do you know what he likes most? He likes snow the most. It’s not because when it snows, everything in the world is wrapped in silver and is extraordinarily beautiful, but because of the snow. It can purify everything. The ugly becomes beautiful, the dirty becomes fresh, and finally the snow turns into black muddy water, taking away the filth in the world. He has had the same character as snow since he was a child, and he did the same when he grew up. Although he practices Taoism, he has Buddhist compassion. I think you should understand what I mean."

Hearing these words, Ruan Zhan was indescribably shocked, as were the other three people. However, although my father became evil in order to do good, and although he has great compassion, what was the cause of the matter?

"When did he start? Could it be that some container leaked?" Ruan Zhan asked.

Uncle Bao smiled bitterly, "That's just a legend, but your father did reach this point in order to suppress evil and promote good. You know, his master Sima Nan is a Taoist fanatic. If it weren't for his obsession with Taoism, he would He will be a pretty good person. It can be seen that people's temperament often changes when they are too obsessed with one thing. This is completely contrary to the concept of Taoism and nature. But talking about this is going too far. What I want to say is that because he is obsessed with Regarding Taoism, he searched everywhere for Taoism books that were lost or classified as taboo, so he had a rich collection of books. Among them was a book about absorbing and dissolving the breath of others or spiritual bodies, and transforming it into of one's own spiritual power.

However, he may know that it is harmful. Sima Nan has never practiced this kind of magic, but he is too addicted to Taoism, and people have become more and more unreasonable, and he has even shown an extremely evil side. Tianyi, like Azhan, was an orphan since childhood, so he respected and loved Sima Nan like his father. Seeing his master become like this, he suddenly remembered this book. He wanted to get rid of the evil in his master, and in these troubled times, he hoped to collect all the evil ghosts and bring purity to the world. But he didn't know that the book was incomplete, and the later parts were guessed by Sima Nan himself. After he practiced this technique, he promptly sucked away the spiritual energy that was flowing around Sima Nan when he accidentally misfired while practicing, saving his master's life, but at the same time destroying his master's years of practice. The master and the apprentice turned against each other. Therefore, this is why Sima Nan's later magic power was far inferior to God's will.

Later, realizing the shortcomings of this spell, God originally wanted to stop practicing. He is also born with good abilities, so the harm of that spell cannot cause absolute harm to him. However, he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, extremely soft-hearted, and had a compassionate heart to save the world. In addition, he constantly encountered injustices, so he never stopped using this harmful technique. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, he was forced to return to secular life. It was an era of concentration and chaos, and many ghosts of injustice and resentment lingered in the world. These grievances are fierce and heavy and cannot be resolved one by one. At this time, God no longer cares about his own safety. He knows that if this continues, he will be backlashed by the irresolvable evil and end up with the same fate as the man in the legend. , but he just couldn't bear to let it go, and kept going through the pain of people and souls, and finally forced himself to this point. He helped too many people, but in the end no one could help him! "

"Is this why he gave birth to me?" Ruan Zhan asked.

"No, you were not in this story at the beginning." Uncle Bao glanced at Ruan Zhan sympathetically, "He thought he could resolve the growing evil in his body. He even thought about committing suicide and was even struck by lightning. He was so distraught that he never thought about giving birth to a son to bear his own suffering! But later he discovered that the evil energy could not be eliminated at all, and because he had inhaled too much, the evil energy had become stronger than his own strength. At this time, he It's the same situation as that of the legendary great man. He used his body as a container to trap the evil in the world. There must be an external force of the same origin to break the container and the contents inside it, so that he wouldn't have a hard time. The trapped evil energy will return to the human world. You have to know that when the evil energy returns, it will cause greater harm."

"So he asked me to be the one to break the container." Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
