Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 28: Setting Sun
Jiang You put down the minced ginger, walked to the fence, took out his phone, took a few photos of the moon, and picked a photo that was not blurry to post on WeChat Moments. He turned around and looked at the ghostly figure on the rooftop, thinking that he had done something big today and had to have a midnight snack to celebrate.
Tang Butian put down her phone, glanced at Jiang You and asked, "Don't you want their obsession?"
She saw Jiang You bend down like lightning and cover Jiang Mo's ears with both hands, and his cell phone fell to the ground. He looked up at Tang Butian and asked, "Um, leader, did Master Hongzhen say when he would come?"
"Is there something wrong?" Tang Butian asked.
Jiang Mo turned his head, took a step forward and struggled out.
Jiang You looked at him nervously. He looked back at Jiang You and his body gradually became blurred. The next moment, a pink light crossed the sky and flew towards the direction of Wenhua Street.
Jiang You picked up the phone, held it in his hand and looked at it from top to bottom, and found that it was not broken.
"You scared me to death. My son is a workaholic. Look, he's back to patrol the territory again." He took a few steps and came to Tang Butian's side. "I just want to eat some food, not to fight for territory." He leaned against the fence of the rooftop. "You had a lot of fun, didn't you?"
"Um."
Jiang You turned his head and looked at her. The girl's cheeks were lightly pink, and she looked a little more human than usual. "It's just that the opponent is a little weak?"
"You knew from the beginning that she had problems?"
"She is so ugly, obviously there is something wrong with her," Jiang You took out his candy box from his bag again, poured two candies into Tang Butian's palm, and then poured two into his own hand, "The person in charge of Chu City seems a bit gullible."
“He’s the counterexample.”
"What do you mean?"
"Master said that he was entangled in worldly affairs, which caused his progress to stagnate. I should take this as a warning."
"In the end, you still went down the mountain."
"Yes," Tang Butian turned around and lay on the fence. She looked at the setting moon, the cool taste of the mint candy spreading in her mouth. "Master believes that we should concentrate on cultivation, not waste our talents, walk the path explored by our predecessors, and strive to take one more step forward. He, Zheng Yuantai, he, he..." She tried hard to find the right words. After a while, she said, "He takes it as his mission to slay demons and monsters, probably."
"Sounds like a nice guy."
"what you think?"
“I think it’s all good.”
"Just give me a pass."
" How dare I be perfunctory with you, leader," Jiang You also leaned on the fence, "To put it in an extreme way, if the talented people all concentrate on cultivation, and no one cares about the demons and monsters in the secular world, then when all the ordinary people die, the cultivators will not live for a few more days. On the other hand, if every cultivator is required to take it as their responsibility to slay demons and monsters, patrol the secular world every day, and kill every ghost they encounter, then the development of disciplines will be neglected. Then one day, if a particularly powerful one comes out, it will be like a fully armed modern army entering a country in the cold weapon era and bulldozing all the way, and they will still be wiped out, right?"
"I like to practice."
"Then become the strongest swordsman."
"good."
"I've thought about it before. If by some unfortunate chance I end up being the God, I'll have to set those rules."
Tang Butian turned and looked at him.
"I plan to let those who believe in me get 108 beauties after they die, but I also feel that there will be more yin than yang in heaven, and people's sexual orientations are complicated. Look at Thailand, there are 18 sexual orientations listed. Since they believe in me, I must satisfy them, right? So I plan to keep the number constant, and when they enter heaven, they can get a form and fill it out themselves, or I can come up with a system, and then I have to hire a team of programmers first..." Jiang You said seriously, "After solving this problem, I thought about it again. I have to take care of the feelings of these 108 beauties. They must believe in me to be in my heaven, right?"
"right……"
"Then how are their benefits calculated? That's a mess. I have to provide real souls, not some intelligent program, right? If they don't believe in me, then they will come in, and they will be the majority, and those who believe in me will become the minority..."
"What are you going to do?" Tang Butian asked.
"I'm going to beat up my son, and then order some takeout," Jiang You yawned. "No, I don't want takeout. I want to have some porridge, freshly made, raw beef and egg porridge. Eat it while it's hot and sweaty. Then order a plate of fried dumplings. After eating, read a few pages of novels, listen to some pop songs, and take a nap. When I wake up, I'll go to the teahouse, chat, drink tea, play chess, and play with birds. How nice! I think this is quite meaningful ."
…
Master Hongzhen pushed open the door to the rooftop. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the dense ghosts. Then, he saw Jiang You and Tang Butian standing by the fence in front of him. He walked over quickly, put his palms together and saluted, and said, "Miss Tang, Donor Jiang, we meet again."
"I'll leave this to you." Tang Butian said.
Master Hongzhen looked carefully at the ghosts on the rooftop and asked, "Can you tell me why there are so many ghosts gathered here?"
Tang Butian briefly mentioned the cause and effect .
After listening to this, Master Hongzhen nodded and said, "This is a good deed with immeasurable merits."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes slightly, twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, and walked into the ghost shadow.
Reciting scriptures.
The pale golden scripture characters surrounded him and then spread outwards, illuminating the ghost.
Time passes by every second.
The ghost's expression changed from unwilling to calm and then to relief.
They put their hands together, bowed to Master Hongzhen, then bowed again to Tang Butian and Jiang You. Guided by the scriptures, they embarked on the path of reincarnation.
When the last ghost left, the sky was already turning pale.
Master Hongzhen walked back to Jiang You and Tang Butian.
His face was a little pale and his lips were dry due to dehydration.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Jiang You said.
Master Hongzhen looked at him for a few seconds, then said, "I saw you exercising in the park a few days ago."
"I'm trying to lose weight, is that a problem?"
"No, very good." Master Hongzhen turned to look at Tang Butian, "Miss Tang, I have heard about what happened in the back mountain of Laojin Mountain more than a month ago."
"A magician is someone from the outside world."
"I am not trying to get any information, but I have been feeling some changes while meditating recently. I wonder if it is related to the incident at Old Jinshan."
"What changes?"
"The amount of alien spiritual power has increased, but the concentration of spiritual power has not changed," Master Hongzhen paused, "I wonder if the Special Operations Department and the Research Institute have noticed this."
"I'll tell Zhuang Zekun."
Master Hongzhen frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows again. He said, "Then I feel relieved."
