"Spare our lives,女侠!" The two men who had been killed earlier quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. They never expected to be punished even after death. Facing such a powerful woman, they no longer dared to be arrogant and kowtowed repeatedly to admit their mistakes.
"Spare our lives,女侠. Their deaths have nothing to do with us. We were just following orders!"
"The boss said they were a burden alive and told us to bring them here to bury them. We were just running errands. Please,女侠, see the truth!"
It would have been better if they hadn't said anything. As soon as the two men dared to make excuses, the new spirits of the several women immediately rushed forward and grabbed their necks!
"Since you were just following orders, why did you humiliate us on the way!" They tightly grasped the two men's necks. "You took advantage of our helplessness. It was bad enough that you stripped off our clothes, but you also tortured us. You even broke several of my ribs!"
"You deserve to die a thousand times over! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have died so miserably!"
"Twist his neck and eat his soul. Then we can avenge ourselves!"
"Eating him would be too good for him. We should let them taste the feeling of being humiliated to death." A woman with a broken arm and leg smiled sinisterly. She looked beautiful, and it seemed that the humiliation she suffered in life was even more severe than that of the other women.
Yang Xue stood aside in silence, not moving the whip in her hand.
She suddenly calmed down and thought about her actions. Was she really ridding the people of a scourge? Had she really avenged them?
They all had their own karma and were trapped in a vicious cycle. It was difficult to easily judge right from wrong.
These women had rough fates and miserable endings. But after death, they became vengeful ghosts and might do evil here, bullying the weak and fearing the strong...
The people who caused their fates were not here. The best time to save them had already passed...
She raised her hand and made a spell gesture. The two men who had been hanged for punishment fell to the ground. They had many wounds on their bodies, more than the women who had died after being tortured.
That's enough. She suddenly didn't want to dominate other people's fates too much.
For the evil people, making them live, just like the women they had tortured before, was the greatest punishment for them.
But the dead women were not happy. They rushed towards Yang Xue one after another, with black mist coiling around them, floating in front of her like a dark cloud!
"Why did you stop? Kill them!"
"Kill them! Kill them!"
...
The shrill screams made one's hair stand on end. And when they suddenly got closer, their fierce black pupils widened. After becoming evil spirits, their fingernails grew longer, and they wished they could devour Yang Xue!
She waved her hand, and these evil spirits were knocked to the ground, roaring.
Although they really wanted to rush in front of Yang Xue, after Yang Xue used her magic just now, the vengeful ghosts didn't dare to come forward. They glared at her with fierce looks in their eyes, like tigers and wolves.
"Living like this is the real punishment for them. I sympathize with your experiences. I'm very sorry that I couldn't protect you when you were alive. But things have come to this. I've already killed these two men for you, so you've avenged yourselves." Yang Xue swallowed hard with a heavy heart.
The reason why she was so decisive in killing the two men was that at that moment of empathy, she learned that they had repeatedly abducted children and fathers, and they were extremely evil.
As for the remaining two, although they were hateful, they didn't deserve to die.
Most importantly, they couldn't just die so easily. Only by experiencing the evil they had done to others could they really be educated.
"Ah!" One of the female ghosts let out a long howl to the sky and cried, "The heavens are unfair. We've never done anything evil from birth until now, but we've ended up like this. In the end, we can't even avenge ourselves... Ah!!!!"
The other women also made indescribable sounds. The sad, helpless, sharp and harsh sounds lingered in the air. Yang Xue felt as if she was in the endless hell.
And she knew that compared with the real endless hell, this was nothing.
The real White Bone Spirit's past experiences seemed to be no better than those of these girls. Facing the real situation, Yang Xue felt a kind of despair and grief she had never felt before.
All she could do was, with her current ability, to help when she encountered such situations and try to change things little by little.
If, as the God of Wealth said before, all the tragedies in the world were the karma of human beings themselves, and she could just stand by and watch people die, then what was the purpose of their cultivation?
Was it just for self - protection?
Could the gods and Buddhas really deserve the merits and incense offerings from sentient beings?
Yang Xue was very conflicted. She felt that her heart had been severely traumatized, and she couldn't maintain her former beliefs.
She took out the spell for calming souls and超度 from her Qiankun Bag to let their souls be超度 and freed. Otherwise, they couldn't enter the six - path reincarnation and would have no next life.
Only by quickly going to the next life could their souls be at peace.
"Click!" Just then, a skull suddenly emerged from the mound in the mass grave. The rattling sound was extremely clear in the gentle breeze.
"Dear immortal girl, could you please find all my bones and bury me aside, not stacked with other people's bones?" A hoarse and low voice sounded, as if coming from ancient times. "I've been buried here for three hundred years, and even the underworld won't accept me. If you find all my bones, I'll be at ease to be reincarnated."
Yang Xue stared blankly at the dusty skull, her eyes sour. She mechanically nodded and said, "Okay."
"Click!"
"Puff!"
"Rustle~"
The mass grave suddenly seemed to be hit by an earthquake. One bone after another broke through the soil.
"Me too, immortal girl. Please dig a small pit for me to be buried. I don't want to face other people's buttocks anymore!"
"And me. There's always someone else's toe in my mouth. It's so disgusting!"
"Me!"
"And me!"
"Immortal girl, help me..."
...
The endless and bustling voices drilled into Yang Xue's ears.
She slowly closed her eyes, not missing any one's request.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and recited a spell, "I've received all your wishes. Please be patient."
As soon as the words fell, the noisy mass grave became quiet.
She finally understood why she had been reborn as the White Bone Spirit. Maybe it was to make good use of the "Book of Immortality" and to save these lost souls forgotten by the Three Realms, to piece together the bones of these vengeful souls...
The first three pages of the "Book of Immortality" were all about how to use magic to超度 souls and how to find all the parts of a person's body through mental power!
That night, Yang Xue's figure shuttled through the mass grave. She pieced together a hundred complete corpses, sewed up five rotten ones with her own hands. For seven or eight corpses that she really couldn't piece together completely, she made a part with grass and wood.
The God of Wealth hid in the dark. Every move of hers was deeply engraved in his eyes and couldn't be erased.
She was neither a demon, nor a god, nor a Buddha, but she was willing to collect the corpses of others and repay the long - standing vows. Even if she didn't need to practice, no one in the Three Realms who wanted to harm her would be able to find her.
As far as he knew, there were also some warlocks and Taoists in the mortal world who adhered to their own principles, traveled around the world to convert sentient beings. Even though their weak strength was so tiny in front of the sentient beings in the Three Realms.
