025. Threat
Qingling was a little surprised. He didn't expect Miaoyuan to follow him here.
His monk robe was soaked by the rain, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the rosary were white, showing a fearless attitude.
"It is your fate that thunder will fall today." Miao Yuan said coldly, "The dead should not linger in the mortal world. The Buddha has mercy on you. If you have lost your way and come back to the right path, go to the underworld right now to avoid the pain of your soul being torn apart!"
"He's quite reasonable." Qing Ling said, pushing Shang Changheng's arm around his waist and whispering, "Don't hug me anymore, think of a solution. If you can't think of a solution, let me go first. I don't want to be struck by lightning with you."
Shang Changheng was almost amused by his straightforward words, but he also found them quite interesting. He refused to let go and sat firmly in the room, saying to Miao Yuan outside: "My beloved wife has a very yin fate, and she was born as a corpse. If your thunderbolt strikes at the right time, she will probably die with me. Monk, do you dare to kill someone?"
Qingling: "..."
Miao Yuan was also stunned. Although he practiced Buddhism, he did not understand numerology. He always thought that Qing Ling had too much yin energy and could not see the yang fire because of his special fate and too deep ties with evil spirits. However, he did not expect that he was actually a corpse-born child who should not have survived.
Qingling really couldn't laugh anymore.
He cursed the monk and the evil spirit in his heart, and said angrily: "I want to learn this too. I will kill you when I get the chance."
Shang Changheng sneered, "You can't even practice Gang Qi and you still want to play with thunder magic, you better watch out for yourself."
His words were followed by a loud thunderclap, and Qingling turned pale with fright. The might of heaven was so overwhelming and powerful that it was far beyond the ability of a mortal body to resist. But Qingling remembered that this thunder was specifically designed to defeat evil spirits. Shang Changheng behind him seemed fearless, and even the strength with which he held him remained the same.
However, hesitation appeared on Miaoyuan's face. To kill a ghost means to kill a person. This opportunity is so rare. Even if there is a next time, he will not be able to use the trick of asking the heavenly thunder to kill the evil in the short term. But finally he sighed, and made the wish seal and fearlessness seal with both hands at the same time, meaning that he could fulfill his vows for all living beings and express his great compassion to save all living beings.
He chanted the scriptures in a low voice, "Namo Amitabha, Dotagataye..."
There were fifteen sentences in total. When the last word fell, the fierce thunder finally stopped striking Qingling's courtyard. Qingling, who had saved his life, breathed a sigh of relief and changed the name "monk" to "Master Miaoyuan" in his mind, because although this monk was a little bloodthirsty, he did have a compassionate heart.
At least he didn't do anything like killing a ghost to save more people and then sacrifice him.
"Donor." Miao Yuan was still unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth and continued: "Ghosts are only vicious and have no humanity. Don't believe in their lies. Even if the cause and effect are resolved, they will continue to kill people. Ghosts are ghosts, and they have nothing to do with their lives."
Seeing that the man and the ghost were behaving so intimately, and that the evil ghost even called the young man "beloved wife", he tried to persuade Qingling with kind words.
Qing Ling was silent for a long time, weighing the options in his mind.
Finally, he shook his head gently at Miao Yuan and said, "He has never killed anyone outside of karma. The people in Qingzhai take human life lightly, kill people and train their corpses. Even if they die, they are eliminating harm to the people. Master Miao Yuan, he... is a little different. After mortals die, if they do not enter the underworld, they will become wandering souls. If the resentment is too strong, they can turn into evil spirits and hurt people's lives, but over time their souls will be scattered and there will be no reincarnation. But Shang Changheng's soul has been in the world of the living for a thousand years."
The wonderful fate is even more incredible.
He knew that the tomb at the foot of Zhanlong Mountain was very old. When he passed by there that day, he discovered that the mountain was filled with evil spirits. That was why he went into the mountain on a rainy day despite the danger. He thought that someone had occupied the tomb and had become powerful, but he did not expect that this evil spirit had really been in the world for a thousand years.
The sudden rain came and went quickly, and now only sporadic raindrops were left, but the sky was still dark.
Miao Yuan wiped the rain off her face and frowned tightly, "How is this possible?"
"It's true." Qing Ling said as he pushed Shang Changheng's hand away, and found the time to turn around and say to him: "It's almost done, the thunder is gone, let me go."
Then he turned to Miao Yuan and said, "He has no memory of his past. I think that's why he's so reluctant to leave the world of the living. If we can help him regain his memory and get rid of his obsession, maybe we won't have to fight."
Miao Yuan had heard that the Zhu family in Tongzhou were good at saving ghosts, but once a ghost became an evil spirit, it would be difficult to resolve its resentment and restore its sanity. Therefore, even the Zhu family would usually kill evil spirits. He had never seen a thousand-year-old evil spirit that could still retain its sanity. He looked at the handsome evil spirit with suspicion.
Then he received a mocking look from the evil one.
It's no different from humans.
Shang Changheng finally let go of Qingling's constant pushing. Now that the thunder had passed, he stood up and walked to the door. He pushed open the door frame that was charred by the thunder and laughed meaningfully: "Your chance is gone."
Miao Yuan immediately pinched his rosary and made hand gestures, his face tense as if facing a powerful enemy.
Just now was a perfect opportunity, but Miao Yuan did not regret giving it up. The living were judged by the laws of the world of the living, and he naturally could not break the rules and kill a living person, even if the price was that after missing this opportunity, he would anger the evil spirit and die here.
As a result, the thin mortal grabbed the evil ghost's arm and dragged him inside. Then he stood out, looked at the door frame that had become charred wood, and sighed: "You still have to pay for the broken door, Master Miaoyuan."
Miao Yuan's expression was blank, and he lowered his head in shame: "...I don't have much money."
Qing Ling paused, "What about daily food, clothing and daily expenses?"
Miao Yuan: "Depend on begging."
.
Shang Changheng's figure disappeared again, and the bedroom door could not be replaced for a while, so Qingling had to clean up the side room and live there. As for Master Miaoyuan, he had no money to compensate, so he could only do some manual labor and chop all the firewood in the firewood room in Qingling's backyard.
He was very strong. He placed the wood in place, took the axe with one hand and chopped it down lightly. The wood broke into pieces and it was very easy to chop.
He even stayed for dinner. Because of this monk, Qingling specially prepared two vegetarian dishes. As soon as the people sat down at the table, Shang Changheng appeared and sat next to Qingling.
Miao Yuan still felt it was outrageous while eating. He actually sat at the same table with a thousand-year-old evil ghost?
Qing Ling was used to it, and he was more concerned about the agreement with Shang Changheng.
Miao Yuan finished his meal quickly, put down his bowl, and suddenly said, "Someone is looking for someone who can exorcise evil spirits to deal with you."
Qing Ling had just come out of the mountains and thought he didn't have many enemies. Most of those he had grudges against were dead, leaving only this one person. He thought for a moment and asked, "County Magistrate?"
"I didn't reveal my identity, but I think I should be." Miao Yuan accepted the meal from the other person, so they were destined to be together. He didn't look at the evil spirit sitting next to him, unable to eat or make a sound, and continued, "I have heard about the affairs of the county government. This Lord Luo really has ulterior motives. I think he has a grudge against the donor because he couldn't get through with the Qing residence."
"More than that." Qing Ling's expression was icy. "He wanted money, and if I didn't give it to him, he would burn me like a monster."
Miao Yuan didn't know the inside story, and now that he heard it, he frowned even more: "How can such a corrupt official be a parent official?"
Shang Changheng sneered at the side: "I'm afraid Qingzhai has paid tribute to him a lot over the years, otherwise how could they have done things so well without being exposed."
Miao Yuan had an expression that was hard to describe.
Shang Changheng frowned, "What?"
“…Nothing.” Miao Yuan took out his rosary again and even folded it up hastily. He said, “I have never sat at the same table with a ghost.”
Shang Changheng sitting here is so peaceful.
Apart from the eerie ghostly aura on his body, there was no other murderous aura at all. He had never seen a ghost that could restrain its murderous aura so completely, and he had never seen a ghost that could be no different from an ordinary person.
Miao Yuan asked again: "Donor Qing, what are you going to do about the matter of Magistrate Luo? Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials, but this corrupt official is really hateful."
Qing Ling subconsciously glanced at Shang Changheng, and then said, "It's okay, he won't be able to wear the official hat for much longer."
"That's good." Miao Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but just sighed, "Otherwise, if they continue to offer a reward like this, I'm afraid that many people from the Xuanmen will find this place."
Qing Ling didn't care, "It's useless even if you come."
“No…” Miao Yuan pursed his lips with some forbearance, and sighed deeply, revealing a compassionate expression and said: “I am afraid that they can’t go back…”
After all, there is a thousand-year-old evil ghost standing here!
millennium! Who in the Xuanmen sect has ever seen a thousand-year-old evil ghost? ! Even though he has done many good deeds, he is suppressed by this evil ghost and cannot even raise his head!
Qingling was speechless for a moment.
It turns out that he was afraid that his courtyard would become a river of blood...
.
"After so many days, no one has been able to get rid of that monster?"
Magistrate Luo was wearing casual clothes and walking around the mansion with his hands behind his back.
The yamen runner lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, a young master has already gone there. We just need to wait for the news, but..."
Magistrate Luo looked over and said irritably, "But what?"
"We don't know where Wang Wu has gone. He disappeared inexplicably. I am really worried. I wonder if something has happened to him." The bailiff was still bent over.
"Who cares where he goes!" Magistrate Luo waved his hands, not taking it seriously. "Just wait for him to come back and deduct the fine. What's important now is that little beast. I don't know what evil method he used. I won't be at ease until he's dead! You, me, our necks are being held at knifepoint! Think about how those people from the Qing family died!"
It would be fine if he had not become enemies with Qingling, but now it has come to this. Magistrate Luo even dreams at night that he has died in the horrible appearance of those corpses.
He can't even get a good night's sleep!
"Okay, you go first."
After sending away the bailiffs, County Magistrate Luo still felt uneasy, and he couldn't tell why. Feeling upset, he hurried to the study and twisted a jade carving of a cabbage on the antique shelf. Suddenly, a secret chamber appeared on the wall. He walked in and took a look, and his eyes were immediately bloodshot!
There's nothing in there...
