Chapter 18: Eliminating Demons and Defending the Way



Everyone is busy with their own things during the day, and then sits together to eat in the evening.

After Taoist Priest Wu was invited to Zheng Yangping's home, he listened to Sun Gui's recounting of what happened last night.

After listening to it, he said nonchalantly: "It's all a small matter. Since this resentful ghost dares to come out and harm people, I will beat him to death."

When the others heard what he said, the stone that had been weighing on their hearts finally fell to the ground. They killed chickens and cooked meat, and made a large table of delicious food to entertain them.

Because Shen Si was a vengeful ghost, he could only come out to harm people at night, so everyone waited at the headman's house until nightfall.

Taoist Priest Wu and Sun Gui went to his home. Sun Gui's wife woke up in the morning and remembered what she saw last night. She was so scared that she just packed up some things and went back to her parents' home.

After entering the house, the floor was still a mess. Taoist Wu asked Sun Gui to stay here by himself, and he went to hide in an inconspicuous place outside the house, for fear that Shen Si would see him in the house and dare not come.

Sun Gui could only bite the bullet and do as he was told. He pretended to lie on the bed, his whole body shaking like a sieve. Not to mention sleeping, he didn't even dare to close his eyes, for fear that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would suddenly be face to face with Shen Si.

After a while, Sun Gui felt that the surroundings were getting colder. He was no longer confused because of drinking like last night. Now, any slight movement could attract his attention.

When he turned around, he saw Shen Si floating in the air. Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, Sun Gui was still scared.

"Sun Gui, you beast, you forced me to death and almost let my two children starve to death. Today I will let you taste what it feels like to be a ghost!" After saying that, Shen Si pounced on Sun Gui.

Sun Gui was so frightened that his eyes widened and he yelled, "Master, save me!" Then he quickly rolled to the corner of the bed.

Just as Shen Si's hand was about to grab Sun Gui's neck, a sword tip stabbed from behind Shen Si, but was blocked by a golden light.

Taoist Wu couldn't help but feel surprised. He had used 90% of his strength in this sword attack, but it was blocked so easily.

"Who are you?! Come out!" Taoist Wu knew that Shen Si alone could not have such great ability.

At this time, Gu Lingze walked in from the door slowly and said, "It's your grandfather."

He had long expected that there was someone behind Sun Gui, so when Shen Si came to find him in the early morning today, he cast a spell on him so that if anything happened, he would be able to sense it at the first time.

"We are all fellow Taoists. Why do you help the resentful ghosts to harm people? Exorcising demons and defending the Tao should be the purpose of our Taoist sect."

When Taoist Wu saw the golden light, he knew that the opponent was not easy to deal with, so he used a talisman to block the attack. Even if the opponent spoke rudely, he could only endure it for the time being.

Gu Lingze almost laughed out loud when he heard him say such words.

"Are you qualified to use these four words 'eliminating evil and defending justice' to teach me a lesson? Then let me ask you, don't you understand that justice is clear and retribution will come?" Gu Lingze asked back with sarcasm on his face.

Taoist Wu felt depressed. He was afraid that he could not win in a fight, but reasoning with the opponent was not going to work either. The opponent would not listen to his words or his threats. He was now in a dilemma.

Gu Lingze didn't care what the Taoist was thinking. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the Taoist was surrounded by black aura.

But for some reason, the black air just kept squeezing inwards but could not actually enter this person's body.

There must be something on his body that can suppress this black energy. Regardless of the fact that he is helping Sun Gui for money now, the black energy around him must have made him do many unscrupulous and evil things.

But there is no need to waste your time guessing, you will know after you finish the game.

Taoist Wu seemed to realize something and was about to speak, but Gu Lingze took the initiative and threw a fire talisman at his face.

Taoist Wu's pupils shrank and he quickly moved backwards, but he didn't expect the talisman to be so fast that it was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

He quickly threw out pieces of talisman paper from his arms in an attempt to block the fire talisman, but he didn't expect it to have no effect at all.

Taoist Wu was suddenly filled with fear and had to pull out a Bagua mirror from his chest. He sprayed blood from the tip of his tongue on it. The mirror suddenly shone brightly and actually blocked the attack.

Before Taoist Wu could catch his breath, Gu Lingze bent the middle fingers of both hands and pressed the thumbs up, like making a fist with a shell hidden, and said, "Ten thousand gods pay homage to you, command the thunder, there is thunderbolt within, and golden light will appear quickly." After saying that, he cast a cloud and thunder spell.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning struck the mirror in Taoist Wu's hand. His hands shook, blood gushed out, and the mirror fell to the ground and turned into powder.

The moment the mirror exploded, all the black energy around Taoist Wu rushed into his body.

He pinched his own neck hard, the veins in his eyeballs and head popped out, he rolled on the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth.

Then his whole body convulsed, his legs kicked, and his body quickly fell to the ground, and he was dead in the blink of an eye.

When Sun Gui saw that Gu Lingze had actually killed Taoist Wu, his eyes rolled back and he fainted instantly. The air was filled with the smell of urine.

When Taoist Wu died and the Bagua Mirror turned into dust, a man in black who was in a house deep in the capital opened his eyes as if he sensed something.

At this time, Gu Lingze was rushing towards the county town and arrived at the back door of the county government office in less than a quarter of an hour.

In his eyes, the county magistrate of Xuyang County was no different from a corrupt official who extorted money from the people.

As the saying goes, if an official does not serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. It is because of officials like him that people like Shen Si who died unjustly have no place to appeal.

Gu Lingze put an invisible talisman on himself and jumped over the wall of the county government office.

In front of the county government office is the court where offices are held during the day, and behind is the residence of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate's surname was Luo. Before going to sleep at night, he hugged his concubine and made love with her before closing his eyes.

Gu Lingze said to Shen Si behind him: “When you go in later, you will attach yourself to the county magistrate’s concubine and tell her your grievances.”

"If he doesn't take this matter to heart, you can come to him every day to 'tell' your grievances."

Shen Si understood what he meant and nodded. Gu Lingze had an invisibility charm on him and followed him in.

Originally, he didn't need to make this trip, but since ancient times, judicial institutions like the county government have always been surrounded by a righteous aura and abundant yang energy, so ordinary ghosts cannot enter at all.

Gu Lingze took Shen Si into the county magistrate's bedroom, where the air was extremely foul and smelly.

He suppressed his nausea and opened all the doors and windows with a wave of his hand. Fresh air blew in along with the cold wind, and only then did Gu Lingze put down his hand that was in front of his nose.

Magistrate Luo was sleeping when he heard doors and windows banging. When he was about to get up, he saw the concubine sitting up.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw two lines of blood and tears flowing down the concubine's face, and he was immediately frightened.
