Xiaoqian finally had a home, but not long after, a mountain torrent broke out, and the people living at the foot of the mountain suffered heavy casualties. The monks went down the mountain to provide relief, but unexpectedly they encountered rampant bandits!

The bandits followed the path up and found the old locust tree, but they did not expect that the old locust tree was a monster that had turned into a spirit. All the bandits were defeated when the tree attacked.

Although Xiaoqian and the old locust tree were not injured, the monks never returned.

Suddenly, the picture on the wall changed.

Xiaoqian has grown into a beautiful lady as pretty as a flower and has fallen in love with the hustle and bustle of the town at the foot of the mountain. Since she had only come into contact with monks since she was a child, she went down the mountain to spread Buddhism and help others.

Many people in the town praised Xiaoqian and some even converted to Buddhism, but Xiaoqian never told anyone where she lived.

I also declined everyone’s idea of ​​building a temple for me!

In this way, Xiaoqian's reputation gradually became more and more famous, and many people came from far away to hear the lay female disciple preach Buddhism!

Xiaoqian was recognized by many people because of this. Buddhism flourished at the foot of the mountain. Xiaoqian was also able to come into contact with some powerful people and gradually accumulated a lot of good karma.

However, the rise of Buddhism has affected the interests of some people!

Gradually, Xiaoqian discovered that someone was following her. At midnight one night, a scholar said he was lost and wanted to go into a dilapidated temple to rest.

Xiaoqian was kind-hearted, so she naturally accepted the scholar into the temple.

But she never expected that the scholar would be attracted by Xiaoqian's beauty. That night, he got drunk and went crazy, trying to take Xiaoqian for himself.

Xiaoqian didn't want this to happen and begged the scholar desperately, but the scholar became more and more demanding.

The old locust tree became furious and tried to drive the scholar away. When the scholar saw the old tree's actions, he was scared to death.

But on the next morning, he brought hundreds of people from the mountain to seek justice.

It was claimed that the old locust tree had turned into a demon, absorbing the yang energy of passers-by, killing countless people and leaving the tree full of blood.

He took out the jade pendant he carried with him and summoned the master of the Heavenly Monarch. A bolt of lightning came down from the sky, and the bark of the old locust tree cracked and bled profusely. The master of the Heavenly Monarch tore apart the tree trunk, took out the essence of the thousand-year-old tree, and then left.

As for Xiaoqian, she was paraded through the streets by hundreds of ignorant people as a witch. If it weren’t for a local doctor who had received Xiaoqian’s kindness and rescued her from the mass grave!

I'm afraid that at this moment, Xiaoqian has already become a lonely ghost wandering in the world!

Zhang Fan sat on the chair, watching these scenes replay themselves, but he felt no sympathy or mercy in his heart.

After all, he also experienced the incident in which the five members of Journey to the West took advantage of their power to bully others and Sun Wukong killed the Yellow Lion Demon indiscriminately.

I have developed a certain immunity to this kind of survival of the fittest.

But there are too many doubts about this matter.

How could an ordinary scholar be noticed by the God of Heaven and have him send down an incarnation to slay the demons?

Furthermore, it was clear that the scholar had intended to take Xiaoqian by force, so why did he abandon her and leave her to die in a mass grave?

More importantly, without the Jade Emperor's order, this Heavenly Lord would have violated the Heavenly Rules if he had taken action. This was also beyond his expectations.

But no matter how you look at it, this old locust tree is really pitiful. It has been practicing hard for tens of thousands of years and has never harmed the people living down the mountain. It even took action during the great flood!

Break off some thick tree trunks and throw them into the river, so that those people in endless despair will have a place to stay.

But even so, he died from a bolt of lightning, which is really sad and lamentable.

"It's so unfair! It was obviously the scholar who was wrong, but the Lord of Heaven didn't know right from wrong and killed the old tree that had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years with a bolt of lightning. It's so unfair!"

Hua Yueying was so angry that she stamped her feet and didn't even eat her beloved sweet potatoes. She felt so angry that she was full of anger.

"There are many suspicious points in this matter, but I still don't see what Xiaoqian has worth pawning. Hua Yueying, why don't you notify Wu Gang and ask him to investigate this matter to see which Heavenly Lord is so bold as to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world without the order of the Jade Emperor."

Zhang Fan said this casually, took off his mask, and asked Xu Zijun to make a delicious meal to fill his almost empty stomach due to sleeping too long.

At this time, Xu Zijun was already very busy.

Because of the few days I was away, many neighbors appeared near Chen Garden.

"These homeless people are too arrogant. If I hadn't come back, they would have moved in."

Xu Zijun was grilling lamb chops, still shouting indignantly.

Zhang Fan took a bite of the juicy, slightly spicy lamb chop, which just covered up the mutton smell. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the delicious taste.

"Chen Garden is so big, there may not be enough space for all of us to live here, so it's okay to let them move in."

"Okay?" Xu Zijun seemed to have his tail stepped on:

"Brother Zhang, please stop joking. I don't dislike them. Don't you think about the guests we often entertain here?

If you let these people live in, I guarantee that within ten days, they will dig up the graves of your 18 generations of ancestors, believe it or not."

Zhang Fan frowned. It turned out that Xu Zijun didn't dislike these people, but was afraid that there were people of unidentified identity hiding among them.

After all, he came from an ordinary family and was not a cold-blooded person. Everything would be fine if there were no secrets, but what if the secret was seen by others?

You can't let kindness ruin yourself, right?

Xu Zijun is just this kind of person, he says whatever he thinks and never hides anything.

So Zhang Fan just shrugged his shoulders. After all, he didn't regard Xu Zijun as his servant or slave, but his friend.

You can't turn against Xu Zijun and force these people to move in, right?

Xu Zijun also saw that Zhang Fan wanted to help these people, shrugged and said:

"Otherwise, tell the Rong family to send some ordinary food over. We can think of it as helping our neighbors, so that no one will say that you are rich but unkind."

Xu Zijun rolled his eyes and said generously.

Zhang Fan smiled:

"I guess it's because you are rich and unkind."

The two of them laughed and enjoyed a delicious meal!

In the heaven, wherever you look, there are beautiful auspicious colors like the aurora, and the golden and glazed tiles are even more magnificent.

Wu Gang arrived at the South Gate of Heaven and greeted the Four Heavenly Kings on duty!

The news that Wu Gang was going to the mortal world just spread this morning. It turned out that the demons in the lower world were causing trouble, and the Jade Emperor wanted to let Erlang Shen to control them.

Who would have thought that when Erlang Shen heard the news, he relied on his status as an immortal and refused to even see the messenger.

After all, this is a tough job. You can't hit or scold them. Trying to reason with the monster is just asking for trouble.

So Wu Gang volunteered, which made the Jade Emperor very impressed. The Jade Emperor was grateful and gave Wu Gang a deadline of ten days, asking him to visit the four continents in the underworld and compile a catalog of all monsters.

As to why Wu Gang chose this difficult job, it has become a question that many immortals in heaven cannot figure out.

At this time, when they arrived at the South Heaven Gate, Mo Lihai and Mo Liqing told Wu Gang a little-known bad news.
