Chapter 64 People Can Change
"I think we'd better leave. I feel that the old Taoist priest is terrible."
Xu Gui was a little panicked and whispered to suggest that Su Chen ignored him. If his face did not change strangely and Dimeng had already obtained it, he would choose to leave.
What's the truth about him?
No matter whether the old Taoist priest died or not?
No matter whether his four-eyed golden god will be resurrected to harm the world?
There was a tall man holding on to him when the sky fell. Now that he had not even saved his life, he was even more unlikely to be a savior.
But now, there is obviously a problem with me. If I just leave like this, would I have to hide for the rest of my life, stay in the deep mountains and forests, and really live a life like a zombie, like a zombie?
If you don’t say you can’t stand it, you may not even accept it. What’s more, who knows whether your body will continue to change, and what if you become a four-eyed monster who has lost your mind?
"Go back to the jade box, as for you two, let's leave here first."
In the first half of the sentence, Su Chen said to Xu Gui. Although Xu Gui was a little reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Su Chen's words, because his strength was not even as good as a little girl, and Su Chen had a way to deal with him.
As for the big white rat, after hearing this, he turned around and ran away without saying a word. Before leaving, he even whispered towards the little girl, meaning that the little girl would leave quickly.
"Big brother, then I'll leave first." The little girl said timidly to Su Chen, and then left with the big white rat.
After the big white rat and the little girl left, Su Chen put the jade box in his pocket, and did not turn on the light, and followed Chen Xin and his group.
"Grandpa, are we really not leaving first now? Wouldn't it be better to notify more people to come and help?"
"It's too late to seal it. If you don't seal it quickly, the evil spirit will escape soon. At that time, it will cause disaster for the creatures. You can only seal it again while the evil spirit is still weak. This room was originally intended to seal the evil spirit, but now that the house collapses, it means that the seal is gone."
The old Taoist priest was supported by Lin Huai. Facing Chen Xin's inquiry, he continued to answer while coughing: "If the evil spirit recovers, I am not his opponent, but he is very weak now. This is our only chance. But don't worry, if you really want to do anything, I'm dragging the evil spirit here, you can go out and notify the people outside first."
"Grandpa, what kind of existence is the evil spirit you are talking about?"
When the old Taoist priest heard Chen Xin's words, his face was a little complicated. After a while, he said: "This evil spirit is called the Four-Eyed Golden God, which is the primitive god. He is born with four eyes. Each eye has different magical powers. In the primitive era, it was the representative of plagues and curses. Anyone who is seen by his eyes will be cursed by him and later sealed by Emperor Yan."
"About the Four-Eyed Golden God, even the old Taoist only saw and described it in an ancient book. At that time, he thought it was just a mythological story written by the ancients. He didn't expect it to exist. At that time, there were powerful people like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who could subdue such evil spirits. But now if the Golden Four-Eyed God is revived, no one in the world can cure it."
"It's so amazing, then if we go, wouldn't we die? I think we'd better leave first."
Lin Huai's body trembled when he heard the old Taoist priest's explanation, and the golden god of four eyes sounded very domineering. It sounded like a big boss level. People like him came to him. Isn't this seeking death?
"If it is a real four-eyed golden god, let alone me, it will be useless even if I send the ancestors."
The old Taoist priest explained: "Evil spirits like this were killed or sealed by many powerful people in ancient times. The statue was just carved by evil people from later generations. They wanted to communicate with the four-eyed golden gods and let the evil spirits give them powerful power. In essence, this is the same as the Buddhist and Taoist schools."
Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there are gods and Buddhas that they believe in. Many magical techniques are also powered by the gods. Take the many Taoist magical formulas as mentioned above. The most common sentence is: The Great Master of the Supreme One.
This Taishang Laojun is also a god, and he is the same as the four-eyed golden god.
What is a god?
Su Chen once asked the old men this question, but the old men gave him different answers, but one thing in common is that if you believe in him, he is a god.
Su Chen was naturally dissatisfied with this answer. What is the difference between believing and not believing?
Back to the present, Su Chen followed Chen Xin and his party for about half an hour. While walking, Su Chen also paid attention to his feet. He found that the route led by the old Taoist priest was not straight, but was on a winding route.
Fortunately, because only the flashlight was shining, Chen Xin and the other two did not notice this, but Su Chen knew in his heart that this old Taoist priest probably followed a certain formation route.
"Is there a formation arranged at the foot of the mountain?"
Su Chen's guess was quickly verified. Just when Lin Huai was a little impatient to support the old Taoist priest, the scene in front of them changed, and a round altar appeared in front of them.
Similarly, the original darkness has also turned into light. There are four pillars around the round altar. All of these four pillars are made of fluorite, illuminating the round altar. In addition, the pillars themselves are carved with patterns, corresponding to the four major beasts of the blue dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black trunk and black trunk.
"What's this?"
Lin Huai looked at a huge bronze statue on the round altar, with a shocking look on his face. The bronze statue was five meters high, with an old man's appearance, and his clothes were engraved with gossip patterns.
And at the foot of this bronze statue, that is, the ground of the round altar, there is a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.
"This is Laojun's evil-suppressing formation. This statue is the statue of the Taishang Laojun. It is erected here to suppress the evil spirit. The evil spirit is pressing under Laojun's feet. At this moment, the ancestral house collapses, and the evil spirit must be able to feel it and will definitely take this opportunity to escape."
Perhaps in order to verify the old Taoist priest's words, just as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the statue of Laojun changed, and the headscarf on the top of his head fell down, fell to the ground and fell into pieces.
Seeing this scene, the old Taoist priest's face changed, "Oh, the evil spirit is indeed acting. We cannot watch him break through the formation. I am now delaying the casting. When you walk to the four spirit pillars, there is a recessed groove on the four spirit pillars. All you have to do is pull the groove outward, activate the four spirit pillars, and suppress the evil spirit again."
Hearing the old Taoist priest's orders, Chen Xin and the other two walked to the four pillars according to the old Taoist priest's orders. At this moment, the old Taoist priest pinched the marks with both hands and chanted something silently. His voice was very low and his speaking speed was fast, which made people unable to hear clearly.
“Grooves?”
Chen Xin's hand fumbled on the pillar for a while, and soon found the groove. Then he pulled it out and the groove was filled.
The three people and the grooves of the three pillars were pulled out, and now only one was left. Chen Jie walked towards the last remaining stone pillar. When he walked, he looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Senior, isn't it faster for the four of us, one person, one person?"
"I want to cast spells to delay the evil spirit, so you can only do this."
Hearing the old Taoist priest's answer, Chen Jie said "Oh" and walked to the last spiritual pillar, but did not press down the groove on the spiritual pillar.
"Little girl, hurry up and do it, I'm almost unable to delay."
"Senior, don't worry, I have a question here, I want to answer it."
Chen Jie smiled slightly, and the old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the question?"
"Senior came here during the Ming Dynasty. In order to seal the evil spirits, he set up a formation and built an ancestral house. He also used the mountain sealing technique to hide the ancestral house. He was so defensive that even the senior himself sealed it. That's right."
"That's right, little girl, what are you going to say?" the old Taoist priest frowned.
"I once read a psychology book. At that time, a psychologist conducted an experiment and found twenty people who raised pet dogs. Assuming a premise, there is a virus on the dog. The virus will not be transmitted to the dog's owner, but will be transmitted to others. So these twenty people who raise dogs have two choices. One is to choose to kill the dog, and then like normal people, and the other is to choose not to kill the dog, but both dogs and people must be isolated and not be allowed to contact and communicate with the outside world."
"These twenty people made the second choice, that is, they were isolated with the dog. The first month was fine, but after three months passed, six of the twenty people could not bear it anymore. They changed their choice and chose to kill the dog and return to society."
"A year later, seventeen people also changed their choices, and this experiment was only conducted for two years, because in the second year, the remaining four people also changed their choices."
"Although it's not really killing a dog, it's just a verbal choice, and the psychological pressure and guilt of making a choice change cannot be compared with the actual situation, it is at least sufficient to explain the problem, that is, many people's decisions will change over time."
After Chen Jie said this, he looked at the old Taoist priest with bright eyes, and Chen Xin and Lin Huai also understood it, and at this moment he stared at the old Taoist priest with a cautious look on his face.
"We who practice Taoism have a firm mind, and cannot be compared with ordinary people."
"What I said makes sense, but I found an interesting question. The position where the senior is standing is just outside the range wrapped by these four pillars. Although I don't know what formation is, I also know that the formation must have a range. After all, those fairy tale TV series are performed in this way, so why should the senior stand outside this formation?"
"Is it because after the formation is activated, it will kill everyone in the formation? But the old senior knows the righteousness, so how could he care about death? It's even more impossible to sacrifice a few of us ordinary people."
"Of course not. This formation is only effective against evil spirits." The old Taoist priest replied.
Chen Jie's mouth was sarcastic, "I think it's not only effective for evil spirits, but also for the old seniors. How could a person live for so long? But according to what the old senior said, the life of the evil spirit is eternal. The current situation of the old senior is very similar to that of this evil spirit."
