Please bring your best friends to practice immortality

Chapter 18 Not for Money
After saying this, the female ghost looked Gu Shiyi up and down, suddenly remembered something, and said in a trembling voice,

"Are you... are you... a cultivating immortal master..."

Seeing that Gu Shiyi did not deny it, his face immediately changed. The rotten flesh disappeared, revealing his original good-looking face, which looked pitiful.
"Master Immortal, Master Immortal, please save this little girl!"

Gu Shiyi responded,

"I can't help you with this matter. Why don't you ask the Qingling Guards to take action? There are Qingling Guards in Xuancheng!"

Sometimes, the Qingling Guard and the City God's Temple have similar functions, allowing the wronged souls to redress their grievances.

The female ghost smiled bitterly,

"The slave family cannot leave the flower boat ten feet away..."

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes.
"Then I can't help you!"

The female ghost cried loudly, lying on the ground and said to Gu Shi,
"Immortal Master! The Immortal Master saves people in distress. The little girl is really suffering. The little girl is sealed in the flower bed and suffers from the cold wind every day. She can only come out in the middle of the night. However, there are many people on the flower boat, and the yin and yang are chaotic. , the little girl only dares to look for the lone passer-by on this pier. If the time goes on for a long time, the little girl will probably become a bad guy and harm others and herself!"

Gu Shiyi sighed after hearing this, thought for a while and asked,

"Do you have money? If you have money, I will help you..."

The female ghost was overjoyed, thought about it and said,
"I have been selling myself in a flower boat for three years, and I have made some money on weekdays, but after my death, she also took away the money..."

When she saw Gu Shiyi's face turned cold and he was about to leave, she said hurriedly,

"But I secretly deposited some private money in a bank in the city... I need a seal to get it..."

After a pause, she said again,

"My seal is a ruby ​​ring. I guess it has fallen into her hands now, but I guess she doesn't know the use of this thing and just treats it as an ordinary ornament. As long as she hands over the ring..."

"How much money have you deposited in the bank?"

"There are... four to five hundred taels!"

Gu Shiyi was moved as soon as he heard this.
"There are four, five hundred taels of silver. If I get it, I can take a boat to Huangjing. It will be much more comfortable than the bumpy road trip overland!"

And this is not difficult!

So he asked,

"What are you going to do?"

The female ghost heard that her tone relaxed, she was overjoyed and kowtowed again,

"Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master! The slave family does not ask for anything else. I only ask the Immortal Family to release the slave family from there and allow the slave family to reincarnate..."

After a pause, he said,
"If...if I can avenge the slave family, that would be the best!"

After saying that, he raised his head to look at Gu Shiyi's expression. Seeing that she had no expression on her face, neither nodding nor shaking her head, she hurriedly whispered,

"If...if it can't be accomplished, forget it!"

Gu Shiyi looked at her for a long time before saying,
"She would kill you like this. I'm afraid the two of you usually fight secretly, right?"

There is a little difference between being a ghost and being a human being. After becoming a ghost, if the moral practice is not deep enough, most of them will not lie. They will always tell one thing and another about the things in front of them. Gu Shiyi knew it when he saw her eyes dodge. Being afraid is not a bad thing!

Sure enough, the female ghost hesitated and said,

"Then...that's just some powder in the powder box that will ruin your face, and some croton in the bird's nest. The slave family...the slave family didn't want her life!"

Gu Shi nodded,

"I understand! This is your cause and effect, but although you are wrong, she should not kill you. This is the evil she planted herself, and she will pay it back in the future. And she should not press you in the flower bed and not be reincarnated. , this will mean that she will be severely punished when she goes to the underworld, I can’t interfere too much, I’ll help you take out the bones and find a place to bury her!”

"Thank you Immortal Master!"

Gu Shiyi hummed,
"You go back first. When the time comes, I will take care of myself!"

"Yes!"

The female ghost responded and disappeared in a flash of red light!
Li Yaner then asked Gu Shiyi,

"Eleven, why don't you help her get revenge?"

Gu Shiyi responded,

"I have told you before that our world has its own laws of heaven and earth. The demon-like clan cannot harm the human race at will. If you carry the debt and cultivate the truth, it will be extremely difficult every time you advance to the next level. And there is a reason why our human race can kill each other. There are rules, like this female ghost. Firstly, she has old grudges with her enemy in daily life, and secondly, the two of them may not have had entanglements in their previous lives. This kind of grudges have their own cause and effect, and I can't interfere at will, but That woman is also very ruthless. The so-called debts are wiped out after death, whether the debts are paid in the Yang world or the Yin debts are settled in the underworld. If someone like her cannot be reincarnated, she intends to have grudges with people in the next life. The underworld will take action if it knows about this kind of thing. of……"

If people are not reincarnated, then what is the use of the underworld? I think that woman must have hired a clever talisman to hide it from the night watcher. However, this kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime. If this woman is allowed to do it again, The female ghost randomly picks up passers-by and kills them. When she turns into a bad ghost and causes trouble, the ghosts will come looking for her sooner or later.

"So it's not illegal for me to take action, but I still need a reason..."

As he spoke, Gu Shiyi turned back to the railing, looking at the brightly lit flower boat opposite,
"I asked the female ghost for money, which was to be involved in karma. If she hired me to save her for money, it would not be considered a forced intervention. Afterwards, there was some unsettled debt between them in the past and present life. This is also considered karma. It’s not my fault. The female ghost and I used money to do things, and after rescuing the female ghost, we also made her enemy do less sins, and he will also have less sins when he goes to the underworld in the future..."

"laugh……"

The king who had been silent on the side listened, twisted his body and shook the branches and sneered, "It's obvious that he is greedy for money. He said it so freshly and refinedly, so noble, don't accept money!"

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes.
"How can I buy you a large porcelain altar with gold embroidery if you don't have money? Who made the argument that the broken earthen jar is not worthy of the status?"

The king was choked by her words and had nothing to say. He groaned and twisted around, but Li Yaner then asked curiously,

"Then if there is no money, won't Eleven be able to make a move?"

Gu Shi said,
"This money is a kind of cause and effect, and other things are also cause and effect. Even a porridge, a meal, a page and a fragrance are all cause and effect..."

"That's not up to you!"

The king interrupted again, Gu Shi said,
"For this kind of thing, cultivators rely on their true intentions. If there is no cause and effect, they will turn into inner demons when they advance. The more inner demons there are, the harder it will be to advance. So you should think that there are so many cultivators since ancient times. Why are there so few people who truly ascend? Cultivation means going against heaven and paying your own debts yourself. How can you ascend to the upper world if you don’t pay off your debts?"

So why do you think you are an immortal and have no desires and desires? Why do you think a master should hide from the world? Isn't it just to avoid worldly debts?

Therefore, some people practice escaping from the world, and some practice by joining the world. Escaping from the world is to avoid cause and effect, but joining the world is to eliminate cause and effect!
Because he agreed to the female ghost, Gu Shiyi couldn't leave, so he simply found a place to shelter from the wind, sat down cross-legged, and let Li Yan'er and the king absorb the moonlight, while he meditated for luck.
"Eleven, how do you plan to save that female ghost?"

Gu Shi said,
"It's simple. Just find an opportunity to sneak aboard the ship quietly, break the flower bed, and take out the bones!"

However, day and night were reversed in the flower boat. Now was the time when the people on the boat were at their most energetic. She had to wait for another hour or two. By then, the people on the flower boat would have finished drinking and had done most of the things they needed to do. After finishing the work, of course, except for a few talented people who can stay up all night, this is the time when the defense is the most relaxed, so she can get on the boat to do business!
So the three of them remained silent and each did his or her own thing...

When Gu Shiyi was meditating with his eyes closed at the pier, waiting for the people on the flower boat to leave, he didn't know that five men with gloomy faces had already stayed in the inn where he was staying. Although it was late at night, Xuancheng is bustling at night. There are still three or five tables scattered in the lobby of the inn, drinking wine. The yawning waiter is leaning on the edge of the pillar, dozing off with half-closed eyes. There are five people sitting at a table in the corner.

"Brother, how can we find someone in Xuancheng?"

The man called Big Brother is the oldest, about fifty, with narrow eyes, a gloomy face, a hooked nose, and a black spot the size of a thumb on his left face.

"When we came out, the sect master gave us a treasure hunting plate. As long as we use it, we can sense traces of the treasure within a radius of fifty miles... But..."

Before he finished speaking, the man named Big Brother took a sip of wine, put down his glass and his eyes fell on the three men who entered the inn. These three men were all dressed as scholars, holding folding fans in their hands. The leader of the group smiled. He was gentle. After he came in, he talked to the shopkeeper. Judging from his familiar appearance, he must be a regular customer here.

The man who was speaking over there felt his gaze and turned to meet his eyes. He smiled politely. The man named Big Brother's consciousness swept away and he realized that these three people were just ordinary mortals. He immediately ignored them and turned around. He turned around and finished what he had not finished.
"But that thing makes a lot of noise when used. Let's wait until we get back to the room..."

"it is good!"

The five of them stopped talking and lowered their heads to eat their food. Only the fifth man raised his hand and called the waiter again.
"Waiter, bring me another jar of wine!"

The second child frowned,
"Lao Wu, calm down, we are here to do business, business is important and don't be too greedy!"

The guy named Lao Wu didn't care.

"Second brother, it's a rare trip down the mountain. If we catch someone tonight, we will be turned back immediately. It's a good meal if we can!"

The righteous cultivators pay attention to the eradication of desires and cut off the seven emotions and six desires. When they reach the foundation stage, they can live without food for three to five months. When they reach Nascent Soul, they will not eat or drink for several years. They will not touch worldly things if they can. Yes, but most cultivators in the evil way pay attention to liberating their nature and entering the Tao based on their desires. If they are bloodthirsty, they will kill people. If they are addicted to gambling, they will gamble. If they are lustful, they will marry beautiful women. They pay attention to finding ways to break ranks in the indulgence of their nature. Therefore, people in the evil way Most likely they won’t be able to restrain their desires!
The second brother tried to persuade him, but when he saw the eldest brother on the side looked gloomy and didn't say much, he had to frown and shut his mouth. When the five of them finished eating and went upstairs, someone had already moved into the next room, and it was the three Confucian scholars. The five people sat in the room and let go of their consciousness. When a few even breathing sounds came from the next door to the left and right, the man called the eldest brother turned over his hand and took out a small compass.

The elder brother said to several people in a deep voice,
"This treasure hunting plate was given to me by the sect master. He had seen the master of Tongxuan Sect use the Tongxuan Treasure Mirror once in his early years. It was said that it was very powerful. At that time, he sealed the aura of the mirror into it. Thanks to his foresight in the treasure hunt plate, as soon as the treasure appeared in the world, the treasure hunt plate gave out a foretelling..."

After saying that, he placed the compass on the table. The compass vibrated gently and made a low buzzing sound.
"The sect owner said that as long as we activate this disk, we can find what we are looking for within a radius of fifty miles..."

When the old man saw this, he asked,

"Brother, if you have this good thing, why don't you use it?"

The eldest brother responded,

"This thing is a secret treasure in the door. It is said to be made from an imitation of an ancient treasure from the fairy world. Although it is an imitation, its power is not small. The owner of the door regards it as a treasure to guard the door. If it hadn't been for sending a few of our brothers out this time Xuntong Xuanming Mirror is determined not to allow us to take it out, and I wouldn’t dare to take it out to show others easily!”

Speaking of this, he glared at the old man and said,

"If you hadn't killed people randomly and attracted the Qingling Guards, why wouldn't I dare to show it to others!"

Fortunately, I got rid of the three Qing Ling Guards who were chasing me in the mountains. If they were caught, the treasure mirror would not be found, the treasure hunt plate would also be lost, and my brothers would have no choice but to die to apologize!

Lao Wu touched his nose and said nothing. The eldest brother continued,

"But this is not all for you... This thing consumes a lot of mana. With my current cultivation level, I can only activate it three times at most. And after three times, I will have to retreat for a month to recover my mana. If it is not critical, At that time, it couldn't be easily activated... I didn't know how far the old Taoist priest and his apprentice escaped, so I didn't dare to use it easily. Now that we have entered the city, Xuancheng is not too big. As long as they didn't leave, I would probably If you can find them..."

After saying nothing more, he put the compass on the table and started to activate the method. Then he pointed on it, and the compass that looked like wood but not wood suddenly glowed with white light, and the brilliance was stunning, as if in this small In the small inn room, a bright moon suddenly appeared, and then the white light even penetrated the cracks in the roof tiles and shined straight towards the sky. The five people looked a little panicked.

"Brother, this movement is really quite big. It won't attract the attention of the Qingling Guards in this city, right?"

The elder brother nodded and frowned tightly.

"I didn't expect the movement to be so loud!"

There were already Qing Ling Guards following them behind them. If they attracted the Qing Ling Guards in the city again, this would be a bit troublesome. Fortunately, the white light did not last long, but after a few breaths, the light immediately faded, and five The people came over to take a look and saw a white dot on the compass. The direction they looked at was exactly the south of the city. Several people were overjoyed.
"Brother, have you found it?"

"Correct!"

The man named Big Brother also had a happy face. He looked carefully at the compass and saw that the small white dots on the surface of the compass flashed and flashed at first, and then suddenly began to move quickly.

"No, the old Taoist priest must have noticed it. He is trying to escape, so hurry up!"

Several people stood up together. For fear of attracting the attention of the Qingling Guards, they did not dare to use the escape light in the city. Fortunately, they were cultivators. They were strong and healthy and had practiced some secular movements. Now they unfolded Shenfa jumped out of the window of the inn, and the figures of the five people disappeared into the dark alleyway in a few breaths. However, they did not realize that in the mid-air not far behind them, there was There were three people who hid their figures and walked slowly in the wind, following them silently.
