Chapter 87: Shi Shen's 22nd Plea for Flowers

  Shi Shen! (Seeking flowers at 22 updates)

  Yaojing, Jingguai, from the readings of these two words, it can be seen that Yao is primary, Jing is secondary, and Guai is last.

  Generally speaking, if animals and plants encounter the right opportunity to open up their spiritual wisdom, after opening up their spiritual wisdom, they will naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and thus achieve the purpose of cultivation. These animals and plants have not yet cultivated human form, but are initially equipped with human thought, called "monsters"!

  If an animal cultivates a human form, it can move about freely, but plants are not the same; they can only leave their physical body within a range of several miles. However, after both have cultivated a human form, they can be called 'spirits'!

  As for the more advanced demons, if we compare them in terms of level, they are even higher than Jing and Guai. This means that they have achieved a certain level of power through their cultivation as animals or plants, and the stronger ones can fly through the sky and escape into the earth without being surprising. For example, snake demons, tiger demons, etc., of course, "human demons" are not included!

  In addition, let's talk about demons. In general, demons and ghosts are referred to together, with demons being the primary and ghosts secondary.

  Ghosts are the heavenly souls of humans. Humans have three hun and seven po, with the three hun being heaven, earth, and human.

  Heavenly soul, governing human conscience and moral character.

  The spirit of the earth, governing human virtues and vices, shame etc.

  The human soul governs a person's life span.

  Among the three souls, the heavenly soul is consciousness. We can think and judge right from wrong because of its existence. The earthly soul and human soul are actually just an unconscious body, but they cannot be missing.

  When a person dies, their lifespan comes to an end. The soul and the seven spirits disperse immediately. The heavenly soul is taken away by the whirlpool of reincarnation in the underworld to settle the debts of one's life. Finally, the cause and effect are reincarnated among the six paths.

  The earth soul remains in the world without consciousness, and only makes a judgment after the debt settlement of the underworld.

  If the good deeds are greater than the evil deeds, then one will be reborn in the heavenly realm or the human realm. If reborn in the heavenly realm, the heavenly soul and earthly soul will merge as one. If reborn in the human realm, the old earthly soul will disperse, and a new earthly soul and human soul will be born to reincarnate.

  If the evil deeds are greater than the good deeds, then one will go to the hell realm. The heavenly soul will be punished and suffer in hell, only able to return to the human world on July 15th of the lunar calendar. The earthly soul will remain in the world, wandering around until the heavenly soul has finished suffering and is reborn, at which time the earthly soul will disperse.

  As for ghosts, they are spiritual bodies with autonomous consciousness. Generally speaking, after a person's death, the reincarnation vortex appears, but the heavenly soul escapes from the reincarnation vortex due to accidental circumstances, and the remaining soul in the world is called a ghost!

  Because ghosts belong to the pure yin spirit, they usually have some abilities. The ordinary person's heavenly soul escapes and is not strong, but if it is a cultivator, then it is different. In the cultivation of people with great strength, it is easy to escape from the reincarnation vortex and devour, and their heavenly souls are many times stronger than those of ordinary people, and they can also cultivate.

  Those with a good heart may have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become immortal, while those with an evil heart may ultimately rise to become demons.

  The two words "devil" originated from this.

  Wu Zhengye glanced at Yan Jing and Geng Institute, who were listening attentively, and continued, "Between demons and monsters, who is more formidable? No one can say for sure, it depends on the specific strength. Some powerful monsters can overturn rivers and seas with a flip of their hand, while some powerful demons can make even immortals, Buddhas, and gods retreat!"

  "Really... is it really this severe?" Dean Geng's face was filled with shock, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice.

  Wu Zhengxie chuckled and said, "Dean Geng, if you're interested in these things, you can take a look at my country's ancient book 'Shan Hai Jing'. It records many strange and bizarre legends. Although I don't dare to confirm their authenticity, since this book has been passed down, we can understand from it. Of course, there must be a reason for its existence. Who can say clearly about the affairs of ancient China?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Jing and Ge Yuan both nodded in agreement. At that moment, the worker rushed over hastily, "Boss, the explosives have been set up, please give the order."

  Dean Geng nodded slightly and immediately looked at Wu Zhengxie. After Wu Zhengxie nodded, Dean Geng said, "Light the fire, blow it up!"

  "Good!" The worker turned around and shouted loudly, "Blast!"

  Bang!

  A dull sound spread instantly, feeling like it didn't have much power, but that stone pillar was actually torn into two halves!

  Suddenly!

  Wu Zheng's eyes locked onto him, and with a cold hum, he suddenly appeared, "Want to escape?"

  Just then, the pillar burst open in an instant, a green shadow shot up into the sky. At this moment, Wu Zheng spat out a drop of golden blood with his mouth agape, his hands swiftly pinched the seal decision, and a deep voice followed closely, "Eight Trigrams Lock Heaven Net! Seal!"

  "Whoosh!"

  A faint golden net appeared on the horizon, and in an instant it descended from the sky, directly enveloping that green shadow.

  Look at the golden net falling from the sky, and the green shadow below also paused for a moment. However, immediately after that, the green shadow suddenly accelerated its speed and instantly crashed into the golden net!

  "Hmph! Think you can break through my Eight Trigrams Locking Heaven Net? Your current strength is still insufficient!"

  Wu Zhengyi seemed to have seen through the green shadow's thoughts and immediately changed his hand seal, "Lock Heaven Net, retrieve!"

  "Ah!!!!!!"

  The Locking Heaven Net was getting smaller and smaller, while the green shadow inside was making a hissing sound constantly. The green gas around the green shadow was also dispersed as the Locking Heaven Net closed in, disappearing into the air. When the Locking Heaven Net finally returned to Wu Zhengxie's hand, all that was left was a small paper-cut snake!

  Dean Geng was stunned and lost his voice.

  He couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that the 'demon' he was just talking about with such conviction turned out to be just a paper cutout!!!!!

  "What is this thing?" The few workers who gathered around couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder, their eyes shining brightly as they stared at the small snake cut out of paper in Wu Zhengye's hand, occasionally casting fearful glances at Wu Zhengye.

  Just now, Wu Zhengyi's performance has left a very deep impression on their minds. In their opinion, the scenes just now can only be seen in movies, and it is impossible to encounter them in reality. Movies are fake after all! But at this moment, the unremarkable Wu is right in front of them, and that sense of shock is beyond mention.

  Yan Jing looked at the paper cutout with a surprised expression, but when she saw Wu Zhengyi's solemn face, she seemed to remember something and her expression turned serious in an instant.

  "This... could it be..." Yan Jing whispered softly, "It looks a bit like a Shinto deity from Japan!"

  "It seems that there are indeed people who still remember the three main dragon veins of our city! Wu Zheng laughed coldly, "In that case, don't blame this master for being ruthless!"

  As they spoke, Wu Zhengye put away the paper snake and looked at Dean Geng, saying, "Dean, the problem here has been taken care of. As for the real culprit, come find me tonight and I'll show you what they look like."

  When he heard this, Dean Geng's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his excitement and agitation. He respectfully took out a card with both hands and handed it to Wu Zhengxie in front of him. "Master Wu, this is the remuneration you deserve! I'll call you again tonight to discuss specific matters. Please rest assured, Master Wu, that the remuneration will definitely satisfy you."

  Dean Geng's respectful appearance startled the workers beside him, but after witnessing Wu Zhengye's tactics earlier, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe loudly.

  Wu Zhengxie took the card handed over by Dean Geng and handed it to Yan Jing. At this time, he smiled and said, "Hehe, I told Dean Geng, Master worked hard for a whole morning, don't you want to treat us to lunch?"

  Yan Jing listened quietly for a moment, then gave Wu Zhengxie a white eye. The three million had just arrived, and this guy actually started asking Dean Geng to treat him to dinner again.

  However, contrary to Yan Jing's expectations, Dean Geng was overjoyed when he heard Wu Zhengye's words. "Master Wu, I've already booked a banquet at the Binjiang Hotel. Please do me the honor of attending. Oh, and I'll call Mayor Zhao and Director Chen right away..."

  Soon, Wu Zhengxie, Yan Jing and Geng Dean arrived at Binjiang Hotel, which is currently the best restaurant in H city, a four-star hotel!

  After entering the restaurant, Wu Zhengyi looked around curiously like a good baby, occasionally pointing and commenting, with an air of "a countryman coming to town".

  As for Wu Zhengxie's abnormal behavior, Yan Jing was already used to it and could only grit her teeth and hold his hand tightly as she followed Director Geng's footsteps. If she didn't hold his hand, that guy would probably get lost in no time!

  It's as if Dean Geng thinks all of this is just a matter of course, and Wu Zhengyi would probably think he deserves it even if someone were to beat him up right now.

  Yan Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes at all of this, but she was actually very excited. Previously, Dean Geng had been a big shot in her eyes, someone who was high and mighty, but now he was being extremely respectful to her. The change from before to now was all because of one person, and that person was her man!

  "Here we are, Master Wu, Mayor Zhao and Director Chen will be here soon. Please take a seat for now, I'll call the waiter to bring the dishes." Geng Shu Cheng pulled out a chair for Wu Zheng Xie with a smile.

  Before long, Dean Geng arrived at the private room with Mayor Zhao and Director Chen. Seeing several people coming in, Yan Jing immediately stood up, but Wu Zhengye didn't have any sense of propriety, glanced back at the newcomers and slowly said, "Let's get dinner started quickly, we still have things to do this afternoon."

  "Hehe, right," Mayor Zhao said with a smile, "Xiao Yan, take a seat. We're all familiar with each other, no need to be formal."

  As they spoke, Mayor Zhao had already sat down, "Old Geng, you're all smiles, I suppose the matter has been resolved?"

  Director Geng nodded, and the smile on his face grew even brighter. "That's all thanks to Master Wu's help."

  "In that case, you should offer a few more cups to Master Wu today," Mayor Zhao said with a straight face, but his eyes were darting towards Wu Zhengyi, who was staring at the ceiling with an air of detachment, completely ignoring the conversation.
