The western monk was a man who understood the principle of 'a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring'. Therefore, even though he was crazy about ferrying souls to the afterlife and loved to do so, When Shuhang's Reiki mentioned that he wanted to ferry the souls of the deceased, the western monk clenched his teeth and gave the task to Reiki of Shuhang.
After arriving at the destination, the western monk didn't immediately go to the house where he wanted to perform the ferrying ritual. Instead, he went with Reiki of Shuhang Shuhang to buy some equipment for monks to set up the execution ground.
Afterward, the western monk arrived at the house of the deceased old man.
After a simple discussion, the western monk started to set up the execution ground.
First, he set up the altar for ferrying the souls of the deceased. Next, he set up the execution ground. Actually, all of this was just for ordinary people to see. To ferry the souls of ordinary people, the western monk only needed to recite Ksitigarbha's Soul Ferrying Scripture and press on it.
But if the scene was too simple and crude, ordinary people who were the 'customers' would feel uneasy.
Actually, with the development of modern technology, a lot of 'customers' would invite monks to ferry the souls of their family members not because of their religious beliefs, but because of the ostentation! Most people wanted to express their longing for their deceased loved ones through this kind of grand display. She wanted to make the death of her loved ones a spectacular one.
Therefore, if the ostentation wasn't big enough, it wouldn't be easy for the western monk to accept other 'soul ferrying business' in the future.
In order to accept more soul ferrying business and make it easier for him to ferry the souls of the deceased, the western monk put in a lot of effort to set up the altar and the execution ground.
It was something he couldn't do anything about.
It had been hard on the western monk. His origin was that of a daoist priest, and he had put in a lot of effort in order to study how monks set up their execution grounds!
After setting up the execution ground, the western monk draped his kasaya over his shoulders and started to silently recite scriptures. He was knocking on the wooden fish in his hand, and there was a scripture in front of him that shone faintly along with his chanting.
This scripture was also something the western monk had written down while he was in prison. It was something similar to a talisman, and he could tear it apart to attack ghostly beings.
This was also one of the advantages that the western monk had when compared to ordinary monks. He had real skills, and all kinds of props could emit Buddhist light. When he chanted scriptures, he could calm the hearts of the ordinary people in the vicinity, and when he knocked on the wooden fish, he looked very holy.
As he recited the scriptures, the relatives who were crying by the coffins suddenly felt their moods calm down. The sorrow in their hearts because of the death of their loved ones was swept away.
At this time, no one dared to look down on the western monk.
To tell the truth, many of the family members were somewhat dissatisfied when they saw that the western monk had come alone to perform the ferrying ritual without bringing any other monks. As there was only one monk, the grandeur was small.
The foreign monk was good at chanting scriptures, but he was alone. How could he compare to a local group of couples?
But after experiencing such a scene, no one dared to look down on the western monk anymore. This was an 'eminent monk' with a profound cultivation base!
At this time, Song Shuhang's Reiki made his move.
It floated above the coffin.
Every place had its own customs. After the death of a loved one, the people of this place would arrange a mourning hall for two to three days before sending the body to be cremated.
When Song Shuhang's Reiki floated above the coffin, it saw a faint ball of light floating above the coffin. It was the soul of the deceased.
It was a very ordinary soul, a faint ball of light, hovering above the coffin. It seemed that the soul was still attached to its body.
The soul hadn't committed any mistakes when it was alive, and it had always been doing good deeds. Therefore, even if it was attached to its body, it didn't show any sign of turning into a resentful ghost.
After sensing Song Shuhang's Reiki, the ball of light retreated in fear, just as though it had met its natural enemy.
Song Shuhang's Reiki was indeed the natural enemy of ordinary souls and resentful ghosts.
After all, its menu was the menu of resentful ghosts. Since it could devour resentful ghosts, it could naturally devour ordinary souls as well. However, Song Shuhang's Reiki had never done so.
It stretched out its finger, silently recited the Ksitigarbha's Soul Ferrying Mantra, and pointed.
Reiki couldn't be sure if it could use the expiation art. This was because Reiki had grasped the principles of the Lightning Palm and the Fire Control Art that Song Shuhang had mastered. However, it was limited by Reiki's body and couldn't use them.
Fortunately, the expiation art was different from dao techniques like the Lightning Palm.
When the ghost spirit pointed its finger at the ordinary soul, the ordinary soul was shocked. Soon after, the shock turned into joy.
The ordinary soul gradually turned into light particles and dissipated.
The expiation was successful.
In the next moment, a stream of power of virtue fell from the sky and fell on Song Shuhang's ghost spirit.
The power of merit split into three. One turned into a thin light of merit that wrapped around Reiki's body. This light of merit was too thin. It had to expiate at least 1,000 souls to make this light of merit appear. It had to expiate at least 100,000 souls for it to undergo a qualitative change.
The other part fused with Reiki's mental energy and strengthened it. But for Reiki of the Second Stage Realm, the increase in his mental energy was negligible.
The last part fused with Reiki's body and strengthened it, but the increase was also negligible.
After purifying the ordinary soul, Reiki floated in the air and carefully experienced the feeling of the light of merit entering his body. Then, he transmitted this feeling to Song Shuhang through memory synchronization.
The western monk, who was reciting the scripture, suddenly joined his palms together and said in a low voice, "Immeasurable Virtue!"
Reiki slightly nodded at the western monk and bid him farewell. "Fellow Daoist, we'll meet again someday."
The western monk silently nodded.
Then, he continued to recite the scripture and pretended to knock on the wooden fish. The execution ground was already set up, so he couldn't just recite the scripture for a few minutes and then leave, right?
In any case, he had to recite the scripture ten times before leaving.
Otherwise, the customers would feel uneasy if they didn't have enough grandeur.
This was a society with a dominant form! Torturing others was torturing oneself as well.
… …
… …
Reiki got up and flew high in the sky.
Before flying away, he deliberately sized up the surroundings of the western monk. It was a pity that the ghost cultivators chasing after the western monk didn't come over.
Those ghost generals were very tasty. Forget it. Since they didn't come, then forget it. They had dodged a calamity.
Then, he shot a glance at the western monk who was knocking on the wooden fish. Although the monk looked somewhat foolish, Reiki knew that he wasn't actually stupid. It was just that his way of thinking was a bit jumpy and different from ordinary people.
Since there were ghost cultivators after his life, the western monk naturally wouldn't stay in one place for too long. After finishing this ritual, he should rush back to his own sect.
Reiki didn't need to worry about the western monk.
Thereupon, Reiki got up and flew toward Song Shuhang's house.
At the same time, he transmitted a thought to his main body: I have a feeling that the soul ferrying technique will be very useful to me. ]
Perhaps this is the opportunity for me to break through to the high-level realm of Reiki! ]
When the power of virtue in the world divided into three parts and fell on his body, he had a feeling that as long as he continued to use the soul ferrying technique, he would be able to break through to the high-level realm of Reiki with the help of the power of virtue!
That was the realm he was pursuing!
* * * * *
In the Lower City of the Time City.
After Song Shuhang had finished practicing for half a day, he received a message from Reiki. "The soul ferrying technique is unexpectedly helpful to Reiki's advancement?"
Song Shuhang was well aware of the difference between the high-level realm of Reiki and the high-level realm of Reiki. The strength of a mid-level Reiki was limited by its upper limit. At most, it could reach the Sixth Stage Realm.
On the other hand, a high-level Reiki was comparable to a genius cultivator and could also reach the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm. In fact, it could even practice special ghost magical techniques. It was truly an absolutely loyal super clone.
If Reiki were to advance to the high-level realm of Reiki, even if Song Shuhang were to lazily lie down and rest without moving, he could still rely on Reiki to advance his realm and reach the Fifth Stage Jin Dan Realm! Of course, the prerequisite was that he could survive the heavenly tribulation.
This was the difference between an ordinary cheat and a nouveau riche cheat.
Thereupon, Song Shuhang sent a message to Reiki — after contacting Yu Jiaojiao, see if she needs any help. After that, make the matter of ferrying the soul the first priority! Before I return to Earth, you can act freely. ]
After replying to Reiki, Song Shuhang silently looked at his hands. After Reiki ferried the soul of that ordinary ghost, Song Shuhang's main body didn't receive any benefits.
It seemed that Reiki's light of virtue was independently calculated on Reiki's body? Or perhaps it was only after Reiki returned to his body that the light of virtue on its body would fuse with him?
"What are you thinking about?" After Sister Ye finished giving Chu Chu pointers, she returned to Song Shuhang's side and saw that he was in deep thought.
"I'm thinking about the light of virtue." Song Shuhang replied with a smile. At the same time, he told her about how he used Reiki to experiment with the soul ferrying technique.
After that, Song Shuhang asked again, "Sister Ye, can we find a soul in the vicinity of the Clearwater Pavilion that can be ferried?"
The vast universe was near the Clearwater Pavilion, but the starry sky was also a place where cultivators fought. Perhaps there were souls in the vicinity?
"Near the Clearwater Pavilion? I really didn't pay attention to that. " After thinking for a while, Sister Ye suddenly clapped her hands, and said, "How about I take you to the vicinity of the Clearwater Pavilion? We've been staying in the underground city for a long time. We can go out and get some fresh air! "
She didn't know why, but it seemed that she hadn't left the Clearwater Pavilion for a very, very long time.
With her cultivation of the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm, she had long since met the requirements to 'go down the mountain', and she could leave the Clearwater Pavilion at any time to travel. However, even after so many years, she had never thought of leaving the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion to take a stroll.
It was really strange.
