009 Empathy
Chen Mu pressed the mask hidden in his arms, but there was no obvious bulge. Then he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiuwan pointed to the ground and said, "Look at the traces on the ground. There should have been a lot of boxes here."
When Chen Mu saw that, sure enough, the row of the ground was full of square traces. It should have been formed by boxes and other places all year round. The colors are different, which contrast with the ground next to it.
Moreover, there are a whole row here, and there are quite a lot of them.
He squatted down, touched the ground with his fingers, and said, "It looks like he has just been moved away."
Lin Xiuwan frowned and said, "Maybe, this murder case is not as simple as seeking revenge by ghosts."
"You mean, someone is manipulating that female ghost behind the back?"
"Yes or no, I also need to verify from Mr. Zhao. See if the things placed here were moved away."
Chen Mu was a little nervous. He thought a little deeper. If someone manipulated the female ghost, then did she spotlight her, and did she discover his secret?
He asked urgently, "Where is anyone in this world who can manipulate ghosts?"
"The Taoist Shangqing lineage is best at subduing demons and demons, so he naturally knows how to subdue ghosts for his own use. Hundreds of years ago, a change occurred in the Shangqing Sect, and some of the sects rebelled from the sect. These people seemed to have been involved in demons, manipulating ghosts, and harming the world. It has been passed down to this day and has become the Ghost King Sect among the six sects of Demon Dao."
Chen Mu asked again, "What are the characteristics of the people in the Ghost King Sect? If they meet, they will know how to deal with it."
Lin Xiuwan said, "This lineage is called the first realm of corpse driving. You can manipulate the corpse and do some simple actions. You can accompany the corpse every day, and the yin energy on your body is extremely heavy. There is still corpse energy on your body, which you will know at first smell."
"The second realm is called tomb robbers, who are good at dividing gold and stabbing the cave, and stealing property from the tomb."
"The third realm is called Onmyoji. It is said that it can communicate yin and yang. It can conquer ghosts and create a Yin evil in a short period of time, at least at this level. Not to mention you, even if I encounter it, I will definitely die."
Chen Mu asked, "What about the fourth realm?"
"Then I don't know. However, once a practitioner of any lineage reaches the fourth level, he enters a completely different world. His strength is incomparable to the first three levels. He is called a predecessor in the world."
Lin Xiuwan explained, "You don't have to worry. A big city like Jinhai has both Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other righteous masters, as well as six gates and the ninth guards. They dare not step into it easily."
After hearing her words, Chen Mu finally had a general understanding of the power system of this world.
According to her, the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are all very awesome. The Six Gates and the Ninth Guard are directly subordinate to the court, which is also very powerful.
If he wants to practice, his first choice is naturally Confucianism, and he does not want to be a Taoist priest or monk. As for the Six Gates and the Ninth Guard, once he joins, there will definitely be many restrictions and no freedom.
This thought just flashed by. At this time, there was no time to think about these things.
Lin Xiuwan suddenly said, "I'll ask, do you have a teacher?"
"No."
Probably, no.
Chen Mu was not sure, after all, he had not inherited the original owner's memory, and grandma was unwilling to mention the past.
He only knew that the original owner's family was quite rich and lived in a luxury house. However, the original owner had resentment towards his grandmother and father. I don't know if he was abused when he was young.
He didn't even remember whether the original owner had any brothers and sisters, let alone masters.
If you don't know, just pretend that there is nothing.
Lin Xiuwan said, "That's strange. The Yin Sha has been chasing you, and there must be a reason."
"I'm also surprised that I have nothing to celebrate with her." Chen Mu told her about meeting a female ghost yesterday morning and evening, and wanted her to help analyze it.
Lin Xiuwan said, "I guess it is probably because of your spirituality that attracted it."
"Spiritual?"
"When you just enter the path of cultivation, your body will have a strong spirituality. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, it will easily attract all kinds of evil spirits. I see that there is a god in your eyes and the light is exposed. So I guess, you should have just entered the practice recently and don't know how to restrain yourself. Is that right?"
Chen Mu said in confusion, "But, I have never learned any method of practice."
Could it be that writing two chapters of novels with that pen is considered practicing?
"The saints of Confucianism once said that life is practice everywhere, and it is not limited to the practice methods of various major sects. If you study the 360 practices in the world, you can understand the way of practice. Two thousand years ago, a hundred schools of thought contend, and dozens of sages emerged, and various schools have them, which is a clear proof."
"Like martial arts, the first martial arts ancestor who became a saint with martial arts was originally just an ordinary soldier. He learned the way to fight martial arts in the battlefield. There was also the sword god Su Tu, who was known as the number one in martial arts a hundred years ago, who was also a butcher. He learned the way to kill livestock and created a sword technique to kill pigs and fight invincible hands all over the world. In that battle a hundred years ago, he cut off the three Western sword saints and exalted our country's power."
After listening to it, Chen Mu felt strange. Could it be that I am a natural writer? After traveling through time, I only wrote two chapters, and then realized the way of novels and entered the door of practice...
I don’t know that I am so talented and failed to become platinum in my previous life. It’s true that I am not lucky.
He hurriedly asked, "Can you teach me how to restrain my spirituality?"
Lin Xiuwan said, "Sorry, I can't help you. The practices of different schools are different, and the methods are different. I practice martial arts and don't understand other methods of practice. However, you don't need to worry too much. After a period of time, after the cultivation level is consolidated, your spirituality will be restrained by itself."
Chen Mu was a little disappointed when he heard this. What he lacked the most now is time. If he couldn't pass the current level, it would be useless to say anything.
Lin Xiuwan said again, "By the way, after entering the practice, you will soon awaken a related ability. If you experience it carefully, you may be able to help."
Ability? Is it possible to become sensitive to five senses?
Chen Mu held the pen in his hand tightly and thought intently.
Gradually, his body and mind became relaxed, and seemed to have entered a state similar to meditation, and communicated to an existence in the dark, which was very mysterious.
Suddenly, he obtained some things about practice from the existence in the dark.
He has indeed crossed the threshold of practice, entered the first state of practice, and also known the ability he has mastered.
Suddenly, Lin Xiuwan next to her spit out a mouthful of blood and said in surprise, "No, it broke the peace talisman and broke in."
Chen Mu opened his eyes and saw the blood on the corners of her mouth and her pale face, which was obviously very hurt.
He gritted his teeth, took out the amulet that Sherlock gave him and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "I will try my best to delay the time later. You can seize the opportunity and run away quickly. If something happens to me, help me take care of-"
Before he finished speaking, the red phantom had appeared at the gate and rushed towards him like lightning.
Chen Mu didn't bother to continue and immediately activated the ability he had just gained - empathy.
As an author, you write stories about others. If you don’t empathize with them, it will be difficult to touch people’s hearts. This ability is tailor-made for writers. You can empathize with people or objects, so as to truly understand the mood of the person involved, which is no different from personal experience.
Chen Mu also treated the dead horse as a living horse, empathized with the female ghost, and bought time for Lin Xiuwan.
"No--"
Lin Xiuwan watched the red phantom pounce on Chen Mu, trying to draw the sword, but the speed was slower and it was too late. She shouted in pain.
At this moment, a strange wave spread, and the red phantom stopped in front of him.
She was both surprised and happy. She knew that Chen Mu had used his ability. She did not dare to act rashly, so she could only stay by her side. Once there was any abnormal movement, she would take action in time.
At the same time, Lin Xiuwan was also a little confused, "What ability is this?"
She knew the four most mainstream practice schools, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and martial arts, and the first level of ability, and it was impossible to achieve such an effect.
