184 Aftermath(2/2)
Jia Zhen came back to her senses, nodded hurriedly, kicked Laiji who was kneeling on the ground, and cursed, "You don't follow my uncle's words if you don't have good eyesight."
Lai Er crawled out of the garden, came in with a dozen maids, and helped Youshi and You Lao Niang, who had woken up early, to go to Youshi's yard.
Jia Lian took the opportunity to come over and said, "Brother Xian, is Sister-in-law You really okay?"
Shi Zhongkui nodded, "It's nothing more than the Five Ghosts and Nightmare Techniques. Not to mention the thunder talisman and jade pendant I gave you and Xue Pan early last year. Even the thousand-year-old peach wood sword or thunder strike wood enshrined in the house can kill those little ghosts."
Upon hearing that the peach wood sword can ward off evil spirits, everyone present's eyes lit up.
But when they thought that the tree must be a thousand years old, everyone became embarrassed again.
Fortunately, as long as you have money, lightning-struck wood is not too rare, but no one can be sure whether it is genuine or not.
Then when they thought of Shi Zhongkui's words that he gave Jia Lian and Xue Pan Lei Talisman jade pendants last year, everyone couldn't help but feel excited again.
But one of them was Baochai's biological brother, and the other was Yingchun's biological brother. Shi Zhongkui gave it to his brother-in-law, it seems, it was for his wife's sake.
It is not so easy for others to ask for it.
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said shamelessly for the first time, "My dear nephew, don't forget that Baoyu is also your brother-in-law."
After saying this, Jia Zheng blushed. In fact, he had just seen five evil ghosts with his own eyes, and the thunder in the sky, which could not be faked at all.
For the sake of his own son, Jia Zheng was willing to risk everything.
Shi Zhongkui looked at Jia Baoyu, whose face was filled with admiration and expectation, and his heart suddenly moved.
This boy often said that scholars are greedy for salary, and it would be better to kill him than to let him study and take the imperial examination. However, he did not expect that this boy actually had the idea of practicing Taoism.
But that's right, Jia Baoyu is just a 13-year-old child. Seeing that he was both a thunderbolt and a sword wielder just now, adults will yearn for extraordinary power, let alone a child.
After thinking about it, I used my mind in the space farm to dry the trunk of a peach tree that had been cut down before, and made several peach charms that were like tokens to ward off evil spirits.
He threw a piece to Jia Baoyu.
This thing is actually an evil talisman, and it cannot actively fight back like the Thunder Talisman Jade Pendant.
Moreover, it attracts Jia Baoyu to go in the direction of Taoist priests. Maybe this guy will be like Jia Jing in the future, abandoning his wife and children to practice Taoism.
No, he should give up the world, not even his wife.
Who would compete with me for Sister Lin at that time?
Moreover, he is a cheater, so practicing is as easy as drinking water. If Jia Baoyu wants to practice Taoism, it will definitely be difficult.
Just like other cultivators in this world, there is no shortage of amazing geniuses, but after decades of cultivating, he is still just a minor character at the third or fifth level of Qi training.
Once Jia Baoyu became obsessed with Taoism, it was impossible for him to care about the secular world.
Seeing Jia Baoyu who bowed and thanked him excitedly after receiving the peach charm, Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but laugh to himself.
When the others saw that he actually gave Jia Baoyu a peach charm that looked like a token, their minds became excited.
I'm not afraid that he won't give it to me, or that there's not enough stuff. I'm just afraid that Shi Zhongkui will hide it and say he doesn't have it.
Liu Changji held the wine gourd and said with a cheeky smile, "Six Yuan Gong."
"Stop it." Shi Zhongkui raised his hand to stop Liu Changji. "My father-in-law is full of evil spirits and is guarded by his official body. Those ghosts and ghosts can't even hide from you, so they will come to you."
Liu Changji's face darkened, he was definitely scolding himself with these words.
But when I think about it more carefully, this seems to be true.
Since the founding of the Zhou dynasty, I have never heard of any official being harmed by ghosts and spirits.
Shi Zhongkui patted Eunuch Liu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Eunuch Liu, does he know why I have been practicing Taoism for seventeen years and have finally succeeded in practicing, but I still have to study and take the imperial examination?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then heard Shi Zhongkui say with a smile, "Cultivation is an act that defies heaven. Not only is it difficult, but there are also three disasters and five disasters waiting for you.
When the time comes, thunder from the sky will strike you, fire from the sky will burn you, and disasters from the wind will blow you away. No matter how much you cultivate yourself to reach the mystic realm, your magic power will reach the sky, but you will still be destroyed physically and mentally.
If you want to escape, you must first rely on heavy treasures, secondly rely on magical powers, and thirdly rely on merit."
When it comes to merit, everyone more or less understands it.
Jia Lian asked eagerly, "What do you mean, good brother, by doing good deeds and doing righteous deeds, you can gain merit?"
But Shi Zhongkui shook his head, "If it were really that simple, I wouldn't have only heard of three or two people attaining enlightenment and ascending in thousands of years."
"this,,,,."
Thinking about it carefully, it seems right. There have been so many famous Taoist priests and officials from ancient times to the present. If everyone could achieve good results through cultivation, it would be too easy to cultivate immortality.
Shi Zhongkui sighed and said, "Serving as an official, although you are involved in worldly affairs, can also be regarded as a kind of spiritual cultivation.
This cultivation not only cultivates the mind, but it is always correct."
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord", a dozen Taoist priests couldn't help but bow together, "Six Yuan Gong's words are true, there are three thousand paths in the world of mortals, all are correct paths, the only thing missing is indeed the state of mind.
Once you have reached the realm, it is easy to attain enlightenment overnight."
Damn it, a group of people were shocked by these words.
From ancient times to the present, literati have talked about the state of mind, and Taoist monks have also talked about the state of mind. However, this thing can only be understood, not expressed in words.
