Chapter 10, what God wants to do is merit
Qi Wufei felt something was strange, and after thinking about it, he decided not to report it.
After all, when I went to work on the first day, I still couldn’t figure out the interests of many things.
"Oh, I thought Yin and Yangsi would always raise a few Yin gods," he said.
"Things are not." Xie Bi'an waved his hand and said, "The immortal way is worthy of life. Even the underworld, its main function is to help others and return to the sun. Raising Yin God is not in line with the heavenly way. The City God Department is a regular local management agency set up under the heavenly court. How could it do such a thing!"
Qi Wufei asked, "Can't ghosts become immortals?"
Xie Bi'an said: "That is a free choice for personal practice, but we do not support it. If the body is gone, we should still be reincarnated and reincarnated and practice with the human body. Cultivating immortals in the ghost realm is a hundred times more difficult than that in the human body, so why bother! "
The same thing, Wu Jizi said before, that the slightly different thing is that Wu Jizi said that ghost cultivation is not difficult, but dangerous. Without the harmony of the human body, the ghost is obsessed with Yin, and it is easy to fall into the path of demons.
Where did that little ghost come from?
What does it have to do with this woman who died in Gu Jiazhuang?
Qi Wufei remembered the strange phenomenon he discovered when he was collecting his soul today, and said, "Captain, I think there is something wrong with the deceased today."
Xie Bi'an said, "Oh, let's hear it."
Qi Wufei told everything the convenience store owner said and what he saw.
"Well..." Xie Bi'an frowned after hearing this, "It's a bit strange to hear you say this."
He opened the Yin-Yang Bottle and released the female soul.
A ghost floated in the office, slowly converging into the appearance of a woman.
Xie Bi'an shook his head: "The remnant soul is incomplete. Although it has been repaired by someone, it will not be preserved for long. You must be sent to the Huangquan Road immediately. If you are too late, you will be reincarnated."
Qi Wufei asked, "Can she tell her the cause of her death...?"
Xie Bi'an said: "We have discipline and cannot force the ghost to question unless she is unable to relieve her resentment and takes the initiative to tell the matter. Moreover, she cannot withstand the consumption now. If she is not careful, she will lose her soul. It is more important to go on the road, so as not to delay the big deal."
He said as he put the female soul back into the Yin-Yang Bottle, stood up and said to Qi Wufei, "Come with me."
I don’t know what mechanism Xie Bi'an activated or used some magic. A door appeared on the wall near the inside of the office, and after opening it, there was another room.
As soon as Qi Wufei walked in, he immediately felt the cold air hitting his body, as if he had entered a cold storage with full air conditioning.
The room was very dark, and there was no other furnishing except a rosewood table in the middle.
The table surface is oblique, with a turntable that looks a bit like a clock and a bit like a rudder on it.
On the wall opposite the table is a statue of the god who inherited the emperor of Houtu. On the left is the statue of the Emperor of Fengdu, and on the right is the statue of the Ten Palaces of Yanjun.
Xie Bi'an held the Yin-Yang Bottle with his hand, bowed deeply to Houtu, and muttered something in his mouth, which sounded like a mantra.
What Qi Wufei is most pleased with is that he has not traveled to the era when he kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times at any time. He is obviously a god, but he still carries the Confucian etiquette.
It’s different now. After the reform of Heaven, there is no need to kneel down to worship except for kneeling at home and masters at home.
Even when facing the Empress Houtu, one of the four emperors, Xie Bi'an just bowed and did not kneel down.
After chanting the mantra, Xie Bi'an put the Yin-Yang bottle on the roulette table and said respectfully:
"Today I received a woman's remnant soul and now I'm sending it to the Ultimate Road. Life and death are serious. Please ask the company to check the records and make her return to the sun as soon as possible.
The soul collector flew together, and the soul collector Xie Bi'an."
When he heard his name, Qi Wufei trembled for no reason.
This salary is indeed not so easy to earn. If you get involved in cause and effect, you can't even hide from it in the future.
After Xie Bi'an finished speaking, he opened the Yin-Yang Bottle.
The female soul came out of the bottle.
A gust of cold wind blew from somewhere, rolling up the female soul, like smoke, and drilled into the center of the turntable.
Qi Wufei turned on his spiritual vision and peeked with magic power. He saw the rudder-like thing on the table rotating, forming a deep vortex, like a black hole.
He suddenly felt chill all over, as if there were eyes looking at him in the hole.
I rushed to regain my magic power and calm my mind. When I looked at it again, everything had returned to normal and the female soul disappeared.
Xie Bi'an re-covered the Yin-Yang Bottle Lid, turned around and pointed at Qi Wufei and said, "Okay, the task is completed, just wait for merit to be added."
"Is this a merit?"
Of course Qi Wufei knew what merit was.
Cultivating immortality is a process that goes against the will of heaven, with the purpose of being able to see through the way of heaven and immortality.
In essence, magic power is just a side effect in the process of practice, because if you gain extra power from heaven and earth, you will inevitably be backfired by the same power.
However, the process of cultivation is extremely dangerous. You often have to deal with demons and fight against the inner demons in your heart. This requires the help of magic and magic.
The higher the magic power, the more severe the backlash you will be. Unless someone protects the law, you will most likely enter the demonic path when you break through.
This is the effect of merit.
Merit is a very complicated thing, not simply helping the old lady cross the road and learning from Uncle ** to do good deeds.
Doing good deeds is of course a merit, but merit is not just about doing good deeds.
In fact, no one can explain clearly what merit is.
The seniors once summarized a saying: God wants to do it is merit.
In other words, if you help him do what God wants to do, it will be a great merit.
This is what the ancients often said about "doing the way for heaven".
If what you do is not tolerated by heaven, even if it seems to be a good person and a good deed, it may not have merit or even add to sin.
Merit can offset the backlash of magic power and fight against the inner demons.
In the past, merits could also help withstand the heavenly tribulation.
After the reform of Heaven, a merit forest was established and a merit tax was levied from the three realms. Everyone's merits were recorded and taxed in a certain proportion.
The Immortal Examination replaces the heavenly tribulation. Although the Human Immortal Examination does not require merit, the merit tax is one of the very important evaluation criteria during the Earth Immortal Examination.
Qi Wufei has been in Huanghuaguan for twenty years, but he didn't feel that he had any merits. He didn't expect that he would have it on the first day of work.
Xie Bi'an smiled and said, "Don't look at the scenery of the first and second teams. If you want to accumulate merit, no department can compare to our Yin-Yang Department."
Qi Wufei suddenly said, "No wonder the monks and Taoists in the past liked to do rituals for others to do rituals of salvation."
He now doubts that his master Wu Jizi often goes out to take care of his job.
"A child can teach you." Xie Bi'an praised.
"Then they snatched the Yin-Yang Department's business?" Qi Wufei asked.
