Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 454

"How can you say that what you picked up was just Wang Ping's soul, and he himself has passed away?"

Hearing what Li Linfu said about Wang Ping, Li Xiuyuan stopped immediately, with a look of surprise on his face.

A month or two ago, Wang Ping was fine, and he was playing with him in Jinling City. How come Wang Ping was already dead when he returned to Guobei County to practice the army?
"Yes son, Wang Ping is now a ghost, not a human being. It's just that he has a lot of obsessions and he didn't realize it." Li Linfu said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "How did you die?"

"This brat doesn't know. But looking at Wang Ping's appearance, he should have died of illness." Li Linfu said.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while, and immediately took out the book of life and death from the ghost king's bag, and then flipped through it, and immediately the name of Wang Ping appeared on it.

Sure enough, it was recorded in the book of life and death that Wang Ping died of illness at home on a certain day in a certain year and a certain month.

"He really died of illness." Li Xiuyuan was silent for a while.

Although he holds the book of life and death and holds a judge's pen, he can change the life and death of mortals and increase the blessings and misfortunes of ordinary people, but he has never used the book of life and death to seek personal gain, so he has never taken the initiative to investigate anyone's life and death. Let nature take its course, because if he changed the book of life and death randomly according to his own wishes, what would be the difference between him and that Lu Juan?
"It's the root cause of being bewitched by that painted skin monster." He closed the book of life and death and sighed.

When I first met Wang Ping, he was bewildered by the painted skin demon and rolled in the mud. Although he passed by and saved him from the consequences of being killed by the evil demon, he helped manage Guobei City and added merit. Longevity is extended and fame is increased.

Otherwise, Wang Ping will fail the ranking this time and fail the examination of scholar.

But the added merit goes only so far.

In the follow-up, there was no virtue to keep up, but they still couldn't even survive this year.

"Wang Ping himself didn't know that he had become a ghost, so didn't he notice it in the past two days?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Linfu said: "It's like this. The kid thought that there might be some way to remedy this matter, so he went to ask the Taoist priest."

"My master? What did he say?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Li Linfu said: "The Daoist thinks that Wang Ping has Wang Ping's predestined relationship, so he can't forcefully interfere. Since he is dead, it is not easy to cast a spell to bring him back to life. Wang Ping fabricated a body, and at night, while Wang Ping was fast asleep, he cast a spell to replace his body."

"Isn't the Muni mud gone?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

To fabricate a body requires Muni mud, which is a very precious treasure. The fabricated body can be exactly the same as a living person, without any difference.

During the time he and Qingmei were together, he already knew a little bit.

Li Linfu said: "Wang Ping's body was not fabricated by Muni's clay, but ordinary loess was used."

Although the body made of ordinary loess can be indistinguishable from a living person, there are many taboos, such as not soaking in water, and not being hit by brute force, otherwise the arm or hand will be broken and turn into yellow mud again.

As for the difference, it depends on how good the caster is.

If one has high morals, a mud body can be used for a few years, but if one has low morals, it will take ten days and a half months to show its flaws.

"Let's keep this matter a secret from Wang Ping for the time being. His obsession is very deep. Ordinary people will be blinded and muddled within seven days after death, but he can use this obsession to break through such blindness." , This is not something ordinary people can do, if he now knows that he has become a ghost, the situation will become more complicated." Li Xiuyuan sighed.

Although these friends around him have their own shortcomings, they also have their own advantages. Just like Wang Ping, he is greedy for money and lustful, but he also has the character of a scholar, and he also has a heart to save the country and save lives.

It's just that my ability is not good enough, and my inner ideals and ambitions cannot be stretched.

"By the way, I read it in the book of life and death before. Wang Ping has parents, wife and children in his family. Now after his death, the family life must be difficult. Even if he dies on the bed, he will be invited to help me. I can't I have let down his intentions, and asked the ghost messenger to send two or three hundred dollars in silver to help him settle down and make life easier for his wife and parents." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Little ghost understands, I will send a ghost messenger there tonight." Li Linfu nodded and wrote it down.

When he spoke, he had already walked into the hall of the front hall.

In front of a copy of the copybook, Wang Ping picked up a brush and dyed the ink, frowned and thought hard, wanting to write but he hesitated.

"Wang Xiucai, what are you writing and how long have you been thinking about it?" Li Linfu walked over with a smile and said softly.

Wang Ping regained his composure and said, "It's Mr. Li, Xiaosheng is hesitating to correct this form."

"Oh, what's so difficult to write?" Li Linfu asked.

Wang Pingdao: "Look, Mr. Li, this is the monthly fee for recruiting sergeants in the army. You see, the monthly fee for escorts recruited by Mr. Li was two taels, and it was five taels during the war. Wouldn't it be easy to hurt the old soldier's heart in two taels? I don't know how much Mr. Li thinks it is appropriate?"

Li Linfu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It really depends on what you mean, young master."

"Brother Wang can have such considerations. I let Brother Wang manage the affairs of the army, but I am relieved. Since ancient times, there have been bosses in the army. From now on, Brother Wang might as well be my boss in the army. I will lead the army to fight chaos outside. , Brother Wang will handle this military affairs for me?"

Li Xiuyuan walked in with a smile on his face, and said.

"Brother Li."

Wang Ping immediately bowed his hands with a little joy: "Brother Li wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the danger of the siege of Jinling City by the rebels has been resolved. Congratulations to Brother Li, congratulations to Brother Li, it is my honor to make such a contribution. Generations are just role models.”

After hearing this, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "One general has achieved ten thousand skeletons, and the victory in this battle is just paved with human heads. Whether it is the rebels, the defenders, or the Li family army under my command, they are all They are just poor people, if they were not forced by life, how could they follow a mere Li Liangjin to rebel?"

"If it is a prosperous dynasty, even if Li Liangjin raises his arms, how many people will follow?"

Hearing the words, Wang Ping also said with emotion: "Brother Li's words made me feel ashamed. I only thought of fighting the chaos and saving the country, but Brother Li has already thought of peace in the world. This kind of mind is not something very human. No wonder some ghosts and gods say that Brother Li is a human being. saint."

"A saint on earth?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed at himself: "If possible, I really don't want to be a saint in this world, I just want to be an ordinary citizen in a peaceful and prosperous age."

The saint on earth brought him a kind of pressure and responsibility.

There are some things only he can do, and some things must be done by him.

"Yes, people in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs. There has been a saying since ancient times." Wang Ping recalled somewhat.

He recalled the flood in Guo Beicheng.

Floating corpses are everywhere, thousands of families are floating, the plague is rampant, and the city is filled with a rancid smell.

It's like being in hell.

Officials and people rushed to leave that place, even the court's disaster relief ministers were unwilling to go there.

Only Li Xiuyuan stood up immediately and pulled the people of a city back from hell.

"Brother Li, you are capable of writing and martial arts. Wen can calm the world, and martial arts can calm the world. No matter what Brother Li does in the future, I will follow you. Please don't think that I, a sour scholar, will get in the way." Wang Ping said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. From now on, all the affairs in the army will be handed over to Brother Wang. Li Linfu, let's hand them over in a few days."

Wang Ping said in surprise, "So fast."

"Brother Wang, I can't let Li Linfu manage so many things for me when I'm old." Li Xiuyuan laughed.

"makes sense."

Wang Ping smiled wryly, "Brother Li, you are really not polite at all."

Although Li Linfu has the talent of a prime minister, he is a ghost and has many inconveniences.

Now that Wang Ping has a clay body, he is considered half a human being. He can do many things more conveniently than Li Linfu.

And Li Xiuyuan didn't want Wang Ping to recall the moment he died.

Let him get busy. After the matter is over and everything settles down, even if Wang Ping knows that he is a ghost, he will smile at Jiuquan, because his ideas and ambitions have been realized, and he has no regrets in his heart.

　Yesterday's, there will be two changes today.
