Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 12 Breakthrough
Upon hearing this, Simu and Zhang Tong looked towards Jiale. Seeing Jiale holding the Bagua mirror, they immediately understood what Jiale meant. The two of them immediately took up their positions and aimed the zombies directly at Jiale.
The Bagua mirror in Jiale's hand was already turned over, and a force of yin and yang shot out from it, directly hitting the bound zombie.
Roar!
This time it really hurt. Zhang Tong didn't know how long it had been since he had used the Bagua Mirror and the Demon-Suppressing Pouch. The accumulated power was sufficient. Under the combined power of the two, the zombie's body gradually turned into flames and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Simu and Zhang Tong cast another spell to control the corpse powder and prevent it from spreading. The corpse powder is poisonous. If it is contaminated by any living creature, it will easily cause the corpse to regenerate.
Seeing that the zombies were finally dealt with, Jiale breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything was done, but Zhang Tong stood there looking a little uncertain. Simu and Jiale knew what he was thinking. He brought the client to his home and agreed to keep the property for safekeeping, but ended up turning it into ashes. No one would be happy about that.
As for the explanation, how to explain it? Just say that your father suddenly turned into a zombie, and there is no way but to destroy it.
If you say it, people have to believe it. Although people in this era are generally superstitious, seeing is believing and hearing is not. They will not care about you. I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved peacefully.
"Master, Uncle Master, shouldn't I just suppress it?"
Simu and Zhang Tong hurriedly shook their heads upon hearing this, "Nephew, you did a good job. Our Maoshan ancestral precepts state that when faced with demons, ghosts, and zombies causing chaos, we must eradicate all evil and not condone their rebellion. This is our ancestral precept, how can we violate it?"
Simu nodded again, "But it would be very troublesome for me to explain it, do you need my help?"
Zhang Tong hurriedly shook his head upon hearing this, "No, no, we have already troubled you enough. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be in just this little trouble. We could even save our lives. Don't worry, I still have some foundation here, which is enough to handle this matter properly."
After hearing this, Simu didn't say anything more.
It was already night, and they were about to set off, "In that case, my master and I will be on our way, and I will come next time to bother you."
Zhang Tong had many things to do, so he did not force Simu to stay. "Brother, have a safe journey."
There are twenty-four dead bodies, six more than when we came here. This time we have to go back to southern Hunan via Xiangxi, and we have to leave eight bodies in Xiangxi, which will make things much easier.
Jiale drove away six dead bodies, and the rest all belonged to Simu, so it was not much of a burden.
On the way, Simu looked at Jiale and said, "Jiale, you did well this time. You were not afraid of danger. If you hadn't come out in time, if the zombie had really escaped, Junior Brother Zhang would have been in real trouble. If you have nothing to do on the way, I will teach you another lesson.
As practitioners, we, in addition to practicing, also believe in cause and effect and accumulate good karma. For example, Junior Brother Zhang taking on the burial was a cause, and bringing the zombies back to the charity cemetery was also a cause. The starting point was good, but if the zombies really ran away and hurt people, then the consequences would have to be borne by Junior Brother Zhang. Every time a zombie dies and a soul is born, Junior Brother Zhang's good karma will be lost.
Cause and effect karma, the more good deeds you have, the smoother your practice will be, and you can enter the underworld after death to receive rewards for your merits. Just like one of our ancestors in Maoshan, he went directly to the underworld after his death and was rewarded as the head of a department because of his merits.
On the contrary, the heavier the karma and the less good deeds one has done, the more difficult it will be to practice, and the more disasters one will encounter. After death, one will also experience many trials and tribulations before being reincarnated.
Therefore, we practitioners never advocate doing things beyond our capabilities. It is not that we should not care about sentient beings, but that we should keep ourselves useful for the future. There are many people who do bad things with good intentions. Only by recognizing ourselves can we go further. "
Jiale is not a child after all. He listened to Simu's words seriously and understood them very well. Just like some people said, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others? Some people always want to help, but they make things more troublesome. Therefore, it is important to know yourself. If Jiale had rushed towards the zombies without hesitation, the situation would be very different.
However, this kind of hidden virtue can really be done. Jia Le naturally has no intention of harming others. In the future, he can accumulate some hidden virtues. He doesn't need to think about being the chief of the Six Departments anymore. He can just get a small official position.
After walking all night, they found no place to rest during the day, so they had to sleep in the wilderness. Simu and Jiale were used to it.
After taking out some dry food and resting for half a day, Jiale started to practice boxing. He had to practice continuously along the way. Simu was very pleased to see that Jiale did not forget to practice. He was really satisfied with this disciple. He did not need to urge him to practice. He was very self-conscious along the way.
As a master, he cannot be lazy because his apprentice is working hard. He is not very old either, so he still has a chance to move forward. Although the hope is slim, when it comes to cultivation, if you don't make progress, you will regress. He was really lazy before, and now he seems to be being chased by Jiale.
After practicing Maoshan Body Strengthening Fist once, Jiale entered an unknown space. Looking at the blue energy bead in front of him, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Jiale originally thought that energy beads could only be obtained by killing ghosts, but he didn't expect that he could get them by killing zombies as well. This also indirectly proves that the previous energy beads did appear because Jiale killed a little ghost.
This is the truly happy thing. Eliminating demons can produce energy beads. With energy beads, one can speed up cultivation. Eliminating demons can also accumulate merits. In this way, the true teachings of Maoshan do not seem to be such a distant goal.
The blue energy bead in front of him was much larger than the last one. Last time it was only the size of a glass bead, but this time it was three times the size.
Jia Le tapped the energy bead with his finger, and the familiar feeling came again. Without thinking, Jia Le started to practice Maoshan Body Strengthening Fist. After an unknown amount of time, there was one more essence in his body, three essences in total, and he only needed one more to break through to the middle stage of the Essence Refining Realm. You should know that he had only been practicing for less than two months. This speed should be comparable to Simu.
Little did he know that Simu beside Jiale had his eyes popped out of his head in shock. When Jiale was refining the third essence, the fluctuations in his body's energy were naturally sensed by Simu. Thinking that Jiale had taken another step forward in such a short period of time, Simu even felt like he was dreaming.
I pinched myself hard, it hurts so much!
The tingling sensation came again, and Jiale withdrew from the unknown space. He found that after he condensed the third essence, the energy in his body was not completely used up. It seemed that it was just accumulating in his body. When he practiced next time, it would be absorbed by his body again and continue to condense essence.
This is a good thing, as it won’t lead to too much progress all at once and scare everyone.
Moreover, progressing too quickly can easily lead to an unstable foundation. This kind of orderly progress is the right way to go.
After his cultivation level broke through again, Jiale looked at Simu with some joy, "Master, I seem to have made another breakthrough."
The four eyes nodded numbly, "How did you break through?"
"I practiced and practiced until I had a breakthrough."
