mountain ghost

Chapter 57
When Li Kaiyang stayed in the temple at night, it was still dilapidated, so he didn't know where the sacred temple was.

It wasn't until after going to Taiyuan that he made many inquiries and found out that Taihang Mountain used to be the ashram of Taihang Mountain God's Lord, so there was only his temple in the mountain. At this time, he saw Lu Chen walking out of the temple, and described his appearance as incomparable to the statues of the gods at that time. two.

No matter how stupid Li Kaiyang is, he should understand that the person in front of him is the manifestation of a god, and he is in front of the Lord of Taihang Mansion.

"Li Kaiyang, I remember you."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, "Since we are old friends, come in and sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu!"

Li Kaiyang was a little flattered. This is a real god. It is completely different from the clay statue that he saw that day, so he seemed a little cautious. After entering the temple, he first bowed to Lu Chen.

"That day the students slept here and were harassed by demons. They all depended on the protection and rescue of the lord of the government. They were so kind and virtuous that they should have paid homage to them. But the students feared that they would die soon, so they could only come here in their souls to pay homage. , there is no repayment, and I am ashamed."

As he spoke, he bowed three times again.

Rather sincere, Lu Chen only felt that a ray of extremely pure wish power rose up, was sucked into the jade talisman, and turned into divine power.

This Li Kaiyang possesses an aura of grandeur, which is far from being comparable to ordinary people, so although his worship, although there is no ritual of three animals and wine, it is also countless times better than ordinary people.

'It seems that the power of faith is also divided into strengths and weaknesses.The more powerful and extraordinary a person is, the more vows will be generated by the worship and gratitude. '

Lu Chen understood in his heart.

On his face, his brows were slightly frowned, looking at Li Kaiyang's thin body like a smog, he wondered: "Didn't you go to Taiyuan Mansion to take part in the scientific examination? How did you make it like this? Could it be that some disaster happened?"

Hearing this, Li Kaiyang sighed, with a look of shame on his face.

He hesitated for a while, and then told the whole story.

It turned out that after leaving Taihang Mountain, Li Kaiyang did not forget these encounters in the mountain. This had a great impact on his long-standing world view, and let him know that there are indeed ghosts, gods and ghosts in this world.

So I want to imitate the ancient sages, study things to learn, step into the road of practice, and become a saint.

It happened that there was a bamboo grove where he lived, so Li Kaiyang planted bamboo in the courtyard. For seven days, he did not realize the Tao, but fell ill due to overthinking and lack of energy.

As a result, his soul left his body and wandered here.

Li Kaiyang thought he was going to die, so he came here specially to say goodbye to Lu Chen.

"Shouren Gezhu?"

After Lu Chen finished listening, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

This is a famous allusion in the history of the earth. It tells the story of a Confucian sage Wang Mingyang. Could it be that this Li Kaiyang is the Wang Yangming of the other world?
That's kind of interesting.

"What does Shouren mean?"

Li Kaiyang couldn't help asking when he heard this.

Obviously, in this world, there is no such thing as Wang Shouren among the sages in the history of Confucianism. It is normal for him not to know.

Lu Chen didn't delve into this issue either. He raised his head and looked at the other party carefully, and found that although Li Kaiyang's soul was weak, there was always an aura of grandeur lingering around his body, which was why he was able to travel so far.

The soul of a mortal is generally very fragile, because without the protection of the method of cultivation, after leaving the body, it will be afraid of the wind and the sun, and if one is not careful, the soul may be scattered.

Therefore, even a practitioner would not dare to leave his body before reaching a certain level of cultivation.

Situations like Li Kaiyang's were special. If it wasn't for the protection of his body with awe-inspiring energy, he would probably have died.

Fortunately, his lifespan is not over, as long as the spirit can return safely, at most it will only be a serious illness, not life-threatening.

So he said: "There is a reason for studying things to know, but that is not what you can do now. Confucian sages do have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. Being able to study things to know, but it does not mean that studying things can become a saint. You are mistaken." Going astray."

In fact, Lu Chen is not very familiar with Confucianism.

But I probably know that to become a sage, one must not rely on closed-door practice like Buddhism and Taoism.

It is an act of making meritorious deeds and establishing morality, helping the community and improving people's livelihood. In a certain way, it actually has some things in common with the Shinto of Incense and Fire.

Of course, he is also crossing the river by feeling the stones now, and he will not give random pointers to such areas that he does not understand.

On the contrary, Li Kaiyang himself was quite emotional.

"Your Majesty has taught you the lesson. Students only understand this truth after they fail to study things. The sages have their share. I will study the words and chapters as I go along. Only by building up the people can I live up to the teachings of the sages. It's a pity that I understand it too late. Now My life is at stake, I'm afraid it's..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing again.

Lu Chen saw his distraught look, couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, you won't die until the end of your lifespan. It's just that the soul is out of the body, and a serious illness is inevitable, but as long as the soul returns, rest for a while, be healed."

"Really?"

Hearing what he said, Li Kaiyang was relieved.

"That's good, that's good. It's not that the students are afraid of death, it's just that there are still many revenges in their hearts that they haven't used. After all, I'm a bit unwilling to die like this. It's just that my soul has been away from my body for many days, and I don't know where to go..."

"It's simple. I will give you a seal, which will help you keep your mind clear and guide you back to your physical body."

For this kind of situation, Lu Chen has a deep understanding. When he crossed over, he was also a wandering ghost for several months.

While speaking, he raised his hand, and a ray of mana light was imprinted on his fingertips, and lightly tapped on the center of Li Kaiyang's eyebrows.

This mana talisman can keep his mind clear and not lose his way while wandering.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu, thank you so much, Mr. Fu! You saved my life again. I really don't know how to repay such a kindness..."

Li Kaiyang said excitedly.

However, Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands. You have a lot of talent, and you can expect great achievements in the future. If you make meritorious deeds and benefit the people of one side, I can also make meritorious deeds."

This is not a casual remark.

This Li Kaiyang is very talented, and he will surely achieve great achievements in the future. Lu Chen is also considered an early investment. If he can really become a sage in the world and benefit the society and people's livelihood, it will be a great merit, and he will also benefit from it. He said that even if Li Kaiyang didn't have any achievements, at least his heart was not bad, and he would not do evil, and Lu Chen would not suffer any loss.

"With this talisman body protection, as long as you don't encounter any powerful monsters, you can return home safely."

As he said that, Lu Chen looked up at the sky, and it was already the third watch, so he waved his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, your soul is too weak to bear the sunlight, I'll give you a ride."

After finishing speaking, the mana wind rolled up, carried Li Kaiyang's soul, and flew out of the forest.

"Thank you, Fujun. After the students go back, they will definitely study hard and benefit the people. They will also set up a shrine for the Fujun at home, and worship day and night to repay their kindness..."

Li Kaiyang, who was in mid-air, bowed and bowed again, and then left with the wind.

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze. Li Kaiyang's arrival was just a small episode to him, but he didn't take it too seriously. What he was more worried about now was Xia Xueyi's safety.

Counting the time, there should be news from the southern mountain forest.

Just as he was about to activate the Divine Realm to check, he saw fires rising in the distant mountains and forests, and Lord Hushan's voice came immediately: "Master Fu, there is news about the golden snake you are looking for..."
