Chapter 225 Zhao Li: Are you planning to get it for free?
There is a beautiful ball of white light inside the white lantern.
It was spinning inside the lantern.
In fact, the lantern was not particularly far away from them.
It was just because it was dark around that it seemed a little far away. But when they got to the lantern, they could feel that the things inside the lantern were unusual, and it even had a special attraction to Xiaoya.
Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and she even involuntarily walked towards the white lanterns like those ghosts.
However, originally the ghosts were staring at the direction of the lantern without blinking. However, when Xiaoya approached, the ghosts seemed to come alive and looked in the direction of Xiaoya.
Every ghost had a pale face.
They stared at Xiaoya viciously, as if if Xiaoya took another step forward, they would rush up and eat her alive.
Song Yuan was speechless and looked down upon Xiaoya's behavior: "The meager merit power in the lantern is nothing more than attracting the surrounding ghosts.
But I do wonder why they use the power of merit instead of incense. It's really luxurious."
Song Yuan took a closer look and denied what he had just said: "I was mistaken. These merits are not for the ghosts to eat. Instead, these ghosts have been providing those merits."
Xiaoya quickly stepped back.
Once they were beyond a certain range, the ghosts surrounding the white lanterns stopped staring at Xiaoya and instead turned to stare at the white light on the lantern.
After hearing Song Yuan's words, everyone looked curiously in the direction of the white lantern and were stunned.
I saw a ball of white light appear in the center of the white lantern, and something like spider silk appeared from the surrounding of the white light. Each silk thread was connected to a ghost, and there was a little bit of starlight on the bodies of those ghosts, which was absorbed into the white light ball along the spider silk.
However, some of the white light spots were sucked away from the ghosts around them, but they seemed to be enjoying it very much, and a comfortable expression appeared on the face of each ghost.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt their scalps tingling. Song Yuan picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the light ball of the white lantern without saying a word.
The speed was so fast that even the people around did not react.
The white lantern was like a piece of fragile glass, and was directly shattered by the stone, turning into a pile of white powder and falling to the ground.
At this time, all the ghosts turned their heads, and red aura gradually flashed on their bodies. If you look closely, you will find that these ghosts have turned into evil spirits in an instant.
"Oh my god." Zhao Li didn't expect that the other party would turn into a fierce ghost so quickly. He raised his gun and shot, because such ghosts were no longer worth persuading, and these ghosts would 100% hurt people.
According to the soul ferryman's work rules, such ghosts can only be sent on their way.
"You can try to perform a salvation." Song Yuan had just finished speaking when he saw that Zhao Li's bullet had missed the target. The ghost that was just outside dodged the bullet nimbly.
Song Yuan changed his tone: "Are you really capable? Zhao Li, you missed the target at such a close distance."
Zhao Li's face flushed red: "I lost my aim in a hurry just now. Besides, these ghosts suddenly turned into evil spirits. I was scared, okay?
And what a stupid idea you just gave me. You actually asked me to help these things to be liberated.
Do you think I have that ability?"
Song Yuan was quite curious. He looked Zhao Li up and down and said seriously, "You don't really have such ability, but you took out the scriptures from Lingshan, so it should be correct to recite them.
What's more, these evil spirits have strong obsessions. If you can successfully save them, you will gain more merit. Don't blame me for not reminding you, they can help you pay off a large debt."
Xiaoya was anxious, as she also owed a lot of debts: "Zhao Li, you can't be so selfish. You fired a few shots, which can indeed get rid of these ghosts, but wouldn't it be better to save them?
Do you have a grudge against merit, or do you like the feeling of being in debt?"
As he was speaking, the evil spirits had already pounced towards them, and Zhao Li immediately used his ultimate skill.
He activated his sword technique, and a golden object resembling a Bagua plate appeared behind him.
Thousands of golden swords of light lit up from behind Zhao Li and quickly spread out. Those rays of light were like golden whips that drove all the fleeing ghosts around to one place.
Although the ghosts were very afraid of Zhao Li's lightsaber, they still bared their teeth at Song Yuan and the others while being driven away by Zhao Li.
"It seems that they are all quite unconvinced." Song Yuan laughed angrily at the sight of these grinning ghosts.
If it weren't for the fact that these ghosts could indeed provide a lot of merit, Song Yuan would have wanted to kill all of these unlucky things.
It's enough to shatter your soul.
Xia Dongqing, however, put forward his own idea: "Song Yuan, are you really sure that these ghosts can bring us a lot of merit?
Didn't you just say that the white lantern absorbs their merits?
I saw that white lantern was very powerful just now, maybe all the merits from them have been sucked away long ago."
Zhao Li manipulated thousands of lightsabers in his hands and created something like a sheep pen on the ground. All the ghosts were forced to squeeze into the pen helplessly and had no way out.
Only then did Zhao Li have time to complain to Xia Dongqing: "Are you crazy? Only by liberating these resentful ghosts can we gain merit from the hands of heaven.
We don't need the original merits of ghosts.
We are not the White Lantern.
It is because our act of saving people has been rewarded by heaven that we can gain merit.
If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. How dare you question the Song and Yuan dynasties?"
Zhao Li was so furious when he spoke that his words even sounded a bit righteous.
But although he was talking, he was still very quick in his actions. He soon sat cross-legged and began to recite the Lotus Sutra, which was the same sutra he had brought back from Mount Lingshan.
In fact, Zhao Li did not study this scripture in depth on his daily basis, but some things seemed to be engraved in his bones. After seeing this scripture, Zhao Li could recite its contents naturally.
But at this time, he still spread out the scripture on his legs.
After all, this is the real scroll taken out from Lingshan.
It emits a bright Buddha light which is particularly beautiful, and it will have a special bonus on Zhao Li's recitation of scriptures.
However, Zhao Li's side looked good. Although it was very good-looking, the ghosts that were circled by him did not change at all.
"Why are you still standing there? Do you still need me to teach you?" Zhao Li stopped reciting halfway, and the beautiful Buddha light and faint Buddhist music also disappeared.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, what are you doing standing there? Go in there and beat up that person, no, beat up the ghost." Zhao Li rolled his eyes in annoyance. "You're taking half of my merits, and you really plan to get it for free?"
