The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 804

"Prajna ghost?"

Xiaoqing, who has practiced for more than a hundred years, naturally does not know the difference between "fine" and "weird".

As Pei Wende said, ordinary beasts can be called "spiritual" after they have opened their spiritual intelligence.

Stones, running water and other dead objects will be called "monsters" after they have life and wisdom.

And above these two is the so-called "demon".

But in addition to "essence" and "weird", there is another kind of existence between the two, which is the so-called ghost.

Ghosts are not evil ghosts, nor monsters.

Ghosts were living beings during their lifetime, but they regained their lives after death for some reason, and became ghosts different from spirits.

The most common type of ghost is the zombie.

They were living people during their lifetime, but they were infected by the evil energy of the earth veins after death and came back to life again.

Similarly, the painted skin in Xiaoqing's collection is born with nine orifices, and if it can conceive spiritual wisdom over time, it also belongs to the category of ghosts.

"You made a ghost?"

Xiaoqing has always known that Pei Wende has a special supernatural power that can give spirituality to dead things.

All the magical instruments he forged naturally possessed a kind of spirituality similar to living creatures, and could act autonomously to a certain extent.

But that level of spirituality is not enough to be called "weird".

Although those magic weapons and utensils have the spirituality similar to living things, but their essence is still just a dead thing, not real life.

However, according to Pei Wende, those two masks floating around him turned out to be real ghosts?
After realizing this, it's no wonder Xiaoqing was so surprised.

It is because Pei Wende's actions are too beyond common sense.

"Since I don't want to carry this resentment, I naturally have to find a new carrier for this resentment."

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Wen Wende said proudly.

"This 'Prajna Ghost Mask' is the carrier of that resentment..."

"And the original dead thing is attached by resentment, and has real life..."

"The 'Prajna ghost' born in this way, it is absolutely correct to say that it is a ghost."

As soon as this remark came out, Xiaoqing immediately understood.

It seems that the two big and one small Prajna masks in front of me are actually similar to the painted skin in my hand.

It's just that compared to the painted skin, these two prajna ghost masks have the blessing of resentment, and they are ghosts that are almost formed.

"It's really a good idea to use a mask to bear grievances instead of yourself."

If Pei Wende bears this resentment directly, even if he has the physique of an "earth dragon", it will be a big hidden danger over the years.

But once the mask is used to bear the grievance instead of him, then this hidden danger will naturally disappear.

Even because of the special nature of the Prajna ghost mask, Pei Wende forged a magic weapon that was no different from the painted skin on the spot, and the original hidden danger instantly became a help.

"However, why is this thing called the 'Prajna Ghost Mask'?"

"And it's this weird and terrifying appearance?"

With all sorts of thoughts flashing through her mind, Xiaoqing asked while staring at the two ghost masks that were still floating.

Although Xiaoqing is a monster, so many years of life have already made her aesthetically similar to humans.

The big Prajna ghost with a ferocious face, the small Prajna ghost with a piercing smile...

The two prajna ghost masks, one big and one small, are not aesthetically pleasing to normal people no matter from which point of view.

"Prajna is the symbol of wisdom, the representative of knowing everything and the origin of all things as they really are."

"This 'Prajna Ghost Mask' seems simple, but it is the crystallization of wisdom I am most satisfied with so far. Why is it impossible to name it 'Prajna'?"

Up to this point, Pei Wende's tone paused for a moment before continuing.

"As for why the mask looks like this?"

"If I say that this is more like the 'Prajna ghost' in my impression, will you believe it?"

Although Xiaoqing had long accepted Pei Wende's viewpoints and logic beyond ordinary people's cognition, his words made Xiaoqing speechless for a while.

"Believe, why don't you believe it?"

After a short silence, Xiaoqing had no choice but to give Pei Wende an angry look.

"Even if you make a 'Prajna Ghost' in your own image someday, I won't think there is anything strange about it."

Hearing this, Pei Wende just scratched his bald head, as if he didn't understand the sarcasm in the other party's words at all.

The name "Prajna Ghost" was indeed thought up by Pei Wende in a flash of inspiration.

However, making the carrier of resentment into a mask, and the hideous and weird appearance of the two masks, were not created by Pei Wende in a whim.

The appearance of the large Prajna mask is actually a reference to the image of the "Prajna" in the legends of Japanese monsters in later generations who seem to laugh but not laugh or cry but not cry.

The appearance of the little Prajna ghost mask is a reference to the facial makeup of Chinese Peking Opera clowns.

"Now the temple's grievances are all on these two masks, and Yongle Town can finally live up to its name."

Pei Wende changed the subject clumsily, but as a result, Xiaoqing made more vicious complaints as a result.

"Yongle Town is indeed Yongle, but your troubles are probably coming."

"Don't forget, you have made a lot of noise in order to overcome these grievances."

Xiaoqing didn't add any embellishments on this point, she just told the facts truthfully.

"In the beginning, it was just the local dogs raised by the townspeople barking..."

"Afterwards, some evil spirits were attracted by resentment, howled ghosts and wolves at night, and almost hurt a few children..."

"If I hadn't been watching, do you think you would be able to peacefully overcome these grievances in the temple for several days?"

There was no complaint in the words, and Xiaoqing calmly talked about what happened in the past few days with an indifferent tone as if she was a bystander.

And the fact is true, if it wasn't for Xiaoqing's secret interference and guidance, some townspeople would have rushed into the Earth Temple and forced Pei Wende away.

Even so, after noticing the weirdness of the Earth Temple, the mayor still arranged for Mo Laosan, who had three deficiencies and five disadvantages, to visit the Earth Temple.

People with three deficiencies and five disadvantages are not hard, but their fate is hard.

It is almost impossible for Xiaoqing to prevent Laosan Mo from entering the Earth Temple without hurting others.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there, you can handle the next thing yourself!"

Slightly glanced at the direction of Yongle Town, and saw that Xiaoqing, who was Mo Laosan, did not speak too much, but turned into a green snake and crawled to the top of the beam.

Xiaoqing hid a jar of fine wine there, and now she just took the time to soak in the wine jar for a while to relieve the fatigue of the past few days.

"Tsk, I'm drinking again..."

Seeing Xiaoqing's careful thinking at a glance, Pei Wende could only shake his head helplessly.

"Be careful that one day you die drunk in the wine tank, I won't be bothered to catch you then."
