I Can’t Be a Sword God

The sun is shining brightly, under the old locust tree.

Yu Qi'an was sitting by the mouth of the well eating watermelon.

When Li Chu came over, he saw that the master even ate watermelon in such a fairy-like manner, rolling up his sleeves and spitting out the seeds, he exuded an indescribable aura.

"Hey, a piece?" Yu Qi'an said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master." Li Chu also sat down.

Yu Qi'an looked at Li Chu, and thought that his apprentice was so handsome when he ate watermelon. When he poked his head and wiped his mouth, he really looked like me back then.

He twitched his beard and said with a smile: "Thank you, these fruits were sent by Miss Li yesterday. They came to look for you, so I'm the one who got all the fruits."

"Miss Li?"

"The name is quite obscure, I forgot. It is a girl with a thin waist, long legs, full breasts and round hips, and a good figure."

Li Chu shook his head, unable to remember.

"Oh, she has a mole on her left heart." Yu Qi'an added.

"Huh?" Li Chu was even more confused.

"By the way, she still left fifty taels of silver."

"Li Xinyi." Li Chu immediately recalled: "She is Chao Tianque's disciple, and we have dealt with the conspiracy case together before, and the fifty taels is the bounty I deserve."

As he spoke, he blinked again.

Does Li Xinyi have a mole on his left heart?

No, his doubt was why Li Xinyi had to do such a small matter as sending money. In the past, Chow Tai Fook would send a small policeman directly.

And she should have returned to Hangzhou Mansion a long time ago.

Yu Qi'an said in a timely manner: "She seems to have other things to look for you, but since you are not here, she has no choice but to leave first."

"Oh." Li Chu nodded.

Yu Qi'an ate another piece of watermelon, wiped his mouth, and glanced at Li Chu: "Aren't you going to ask someone what's the matter?"

"She will come again for something important." Li Chu shrugged indifferently.

"Sigh." Yu Qi'an looked at his apprentice and sighed with hatred.

"Master, this disciple has something to ask." Being interrupted by Yu Qi'an, Li Chu almost forgot his purpose.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"I have a doubt. If there are a group of ghosts, they will stay in one place with peace of mind. If humans don't disturb them, they won't harm people. In this case, can I destroy these ghosts?" Li Chu asked seriously.

"Aren't you doing things like this all the time?" Yu Qi'an asked back.

In the past year, Li Chu brushed mobs to level up in Shilipo. Although he didn't know the purpose, he knew about this behavior.

"But these ghosts have higher morals and spiritual wisdom, which are different from the lantern monsters." Li Chu said.

Yu Qi'an thought for a while, then slowly replied: "Hehe, we cultivators travel all over the rivers and lakes, and there is a saying that has been circulating that monsters can be taught, but devils are difficult."

Li Chu leaned forward, showing an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

"It means that the four evil things, demons and ghosts, are actually different."

"Monsters are formed by the practice of all kinds of creatures. They are the sublimation of life. There is no good or evil in monsters themselves. Those who do good are good monsters, and those who do evil are bad monsters. Good monsters can be educated and guided, just like visiting every day. We can live in peace with that little fox, only the bad one needs to be eradicated."

"Monsters are born alien creatures, essentially no different from birds and beasts. Similarly, if they keep their own place, then humans shouldn't harass them."

"Because they have their own way to go."

"My own way..." Li Chu murmured, seemingly thinking about it.

"And monsters are demonized from other living beings." Yu Qi'an's expression was slightly serious: "Once possessed by demons, it is difficult to go back. If they are allowed to survive in the world, they will definitely cause bloody massacres and must be eradicated."

"Ghosts are also transformed by the ghosts of other creatures. They did not set foot on the reincarnation circuit for various reasons, so they stayed in the human world. But no matter what the reason is, this is not the way they should go. From the moment they were born, they have been Going astray. Therefore, no matter what the situation is, eliminating ghosts is tantamount to helping them return to the right path.”

"For demons and ghosts, it is possible to eliminate them as soon as they encounter them, regardless of whether they are good or evil. It is precisely because of this that eliminating ghosts is called "duhua", and "duhua" can accumulate merit. It cannot be counted as killing."

"So, the criterion for judging whether to kill or not is whether the creature is on the right path, right?" Li Chu asked.

"You can say that." Yu Qi'an smiled and nodded.

Li Churuo nodded as well.

Watching Li Chu get up and leave, Yu Qi'an muttered to his back: "I don't know where the ghost is so unlucky."

...

That night.

Liu Family Ghost House.

The turmoil of last night seemed to have no effect on this place at all, and there was still such a peaceful and gloomy atmosphere.

But as a figure in a blue Taoist robe slowly approached, the picture became a little more beautiful.

In fact, Li Chu has been thinking recently that the experience points that the Lantern Monster can provide are getting less and less. It would be great if there is a new and slightly more advanced leveling point.

But he is not familiar with the distant place, maybe there will be trouble.

The appearance of the Liu Family Ghost House perfectly met his needs.

Few people, many ghosts, close to home.

And at present, it seems that the ghosts here can appear out of thin air. In this way, it is likely that there will be a steady stream.

It was simply prepared for his leveling.

The only worry is that these ghosts originally lived here peacefully. If no one came to kill them, they would not sneak out to harm others. Wouldn't it be inhumane to come here to upgrade them?

What Yu Qi'an said today relieved his worries.

I am not leveling, not killing these ghosts. Rather, it is reducing and helping those who have gone astray to get on the right path.

Just like a doctor who saves the sick and a teacher who teaches and educates people, it is a great and noble act.

I destroy you for your own good.

Of course, in the process of treatment or learning, there will also be some pain.

But he promised that it would only hurt once.

After the pain once, you can start a new life.

With such a lofty mood, Li Chu walked into the gate of the Liu family's ghost building again.

At this moment, the light of righteousness shone on the ghost building.

He knocked on the door from the first room in order: "Excuse me, is there a ghost?"

There is a strange babbling sound inside, it seems to be there.

Li Chu opened the door and walked in, and saw a ghost dressed as an actor, wearing a spring shirt and sleeves, he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

Seeing Li Chu come in, it sang in a high-pitched voice: "It hurts, it hurts, push Lang lightly, and gradually it trembles, and it turns red with a little fright~"

Li Chu listened, and felt that this opera ghost was a bit dishonest.

But he still said very politely: "Hi, I'm here to save you, it may hurt a little, bear with it a little bit, and you'll be fine soon."

The opera ghost seemed to understand what he said, and wanted to express his opposition personally.

But Li Chu didn't give it a chance.

laugh--

A flash of sword light flashed by, and the babbling tone still echoed in the room, but the ghost body disappeared out of thin air.

scaled successfully.

Li Chu felt that he was a little more noble.

Correspondingly, it is one step closer to level seventy-two.

Walking out of the room and looking at the full four-story attic, Li Chu felt that he could set a small goal first.

Let's get to level 100 first.

...

Three hundred miles northwest of Yuhang Town.

Baigu Mountain, Fushi Cave.

Two hoarse and dull voices sounded again.

This time there was obviously panic.

"The little Taoist priest is back! He knocked on the door looking for ghosts, killing them one by one! In just one night, he emptied the entire ghost building!"

"What! You can't do anything about him?"

"If you saw how he drew his sword, you wouldn't say such stupid things."

"We have to do something! Otherwise, the day my king lifts the seal, you and I will all be guilty!"

The other voice fell silent for another moment, then spoke again.

"I was praying, praying that he wouldn't come back tomorrow."
