Chapter 20: The Local Monk



An elder suggested that the creature be tied up and offered to the mountain god, which was quickly approved by everyone.

Only at this moment did Zhang Ling truly focus all his attention on the monster.

Its body is covered with hair, and its size is that of a calf, with a human head and hands, and the rest of its body and feet are those of an animal.

The most peculiar thing is the human head and hands.

He had a bald, round head with two rows of black spots on top, like the scars a monk receives, and there were obvious signs of burns on both sides.

At this moment, the demon put his hands together, as if he was worshipping God like a mortal.

Soon, these mortals left the iron cages behind and returned the same way they came.

Zhang Ling waved his sleeves, spreading a cool breeze to clear away the hidden dangers of illness for them. If they did not encounter any disasters in the future, they would be able to live to a ripe old age, free from illness and pain.

The real body walked out of the tiger's mansion, came to the iron cage, waved his hand to open the cage door, and released the strange monster inside.

Zhang Ling waved his sleeves and rode a breeze to send the monk away, and healed his injuries in the process.

After dealing with this matter, he shook his head and sighed: Why are all the monsters turning good nowadays?

It would be fine if it was just a sea cucumber spirit, but the country monk who came to the door was also like this.

Demons that are inclined towards good must never be killed, as doing so would violate the laws of nature and one's true nature, and one's thoughts would no longer flow freely. With inner demons constantly arising, how could one cultivate to immortality?

After the monk was carried away by the breeze, he looked at Jieyang Mountain from afar, knelt down and kowtowed, clasping his hands together with a pious attitude. After a while, he turned around and ran into the dense forest...
