A sword is drawn.
The sky is tilting.
Ground cover.
It seems like a towering star, with the starry sky hanging upside down.
At that time, the world seemed to be frozen, and time and space stood still.
The City God of Shunjiang County and his subordinates, whether they were civil or military judges, ghostly generals, or patrolling gods, were all stunned and lost in thought.
A breeze blew by, and the gods fell from the clouds like dumplings.
"Qinglian, go!"
Zhang Ling waved his sleeves, and the green rainbow disappeared in an instant and flew away.
Only the sound of chopping melons and vegetables could be heard, and the corpses of the immortals whose souls were cut off by "Zhu Xian" turned into ashes among the green rainbow, falling on the ground like rain. Immediately, spots of light flickered and turned into countless fireflies that illuminated all directions.
It's done.
Zhang Ling took out a magic talisman from his sleeve, crushed it, called on the god on duty to come quickly, and sent a divine message to inform him of the situation here.
Then, the young man in green turned into a stream of light and went straight into the Lihua Temple on Lihua Mountain to look for Master Li Tianshi.
——
It is May, and the pear blossoms are in full bloom.
The fields are covered with pear blossom trees, showing off their beauty even under the cover of night.
Looking down at the entire Lihua Mountain from the air, it looks like smoke and fog, piled up clouds and snow, a fluffy canopy, and graceful trees.
Zhang Ling pinched Qinghong in his hand, and his real body fell to the ground and went straight into Lihua Temple.
The rumbling sound of fighting broke the silence of the night.
When he looked over with his mind, he saw that the Yellow Turban warrior was fighting against a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, and they were evenly matched.
The Yellow Turban strongman's movements were slow and a little clumsy, making it difficult for him to hit his opponent during a fight.
The Taoist seemed to have learned many skills. He could evade the ground, pass through walls, and dodge flexibly.
A group of mortals huddled in the corner, trembling with fear on their faces, as if they had witnessed something horrific.
"The first level of Earthly Immortal?"
"No, it's only halfway there, and it hasn't fully reached the Earthly Immortal Realm."
Zhang Ling looked at the Taoist priest carefully and had some guesses in his mind.
If nothing unexpected happens, this Taoist priest should be Li Tianshi!
Zhang Ling joined in, pointing his sword at the condensed light, and used the magical power of the Disha sword. The Taoist priest immediately coughed up blood and retreated repeatedly.
The young man in green waved his sleeves to dismiss the yellow-turbaned warrior and said, "Are you the registered disciple of a certain God of Wealth, Li Tianshi?"
The Taoist priest thought for a moment after hearing this, and then seemed to recall something: "Are you the god of good and evil that the City God mentioned?"
Zhang Ling nodded, but the other party angrily said, "You and I have nothing to do with each other, why are you forcing me so hard?"
Forcing each other?
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "You have been in cahoots with the local City God, working hand in hand to bring disaster upon mortals. You have committed countless evil deeds. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
Li Tianshi slumped to the ground, a ruthless smile on his face. "How many immortals in this world haven't shed the blood of mortals? You're so hypocritical, calling for an explanation, but you're just taking advantage of my lowly cultivation level, which hasn't earned me an entry into the immortal register."
Zhang Ling frowned slightly. "Even if you're registered as an immortal, what does it matter? I killed the City God and all the immortals under him with a single blow of my sword. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you've become an immortal?"
Upon hearing these words, Li Tianshi's pupils constricted, his face filled with shock. "You...how dare you be so presumptuous! Aren't you afraid of the divine rebuke and unleashing wrath!"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't care about you, and I wouldn't come to your Taoist temple tonight." Zhang Ling continued, "You are clearly a registered disciple of a certain God of Wealth, with a good foundation. You have the Treasure Lion and the Ten-Fortune Fortune Cat to help you. Why do you still do such evil things?"
Li Tianshi scoffed, "If you don't become an immortal, you will forever be a heretic. Look at my master giving me the Treasure Lion and the Ten Fortunes Fortune Cat, but they are only temporary. When my lifespan runs out and I die, everything here will be for naught! After all, material possessions are just objects. They are not as easy to take as you say."
Zhang Ling didn't expect that although Li Tianshi was a registered disciple of a certain god of wealth, he was not included in the list of immortals.
It seems that becoming a righteous god recognized by the Heavenly Court is not an easy task.
"You're harming mortals just to become an immortal. This is illogical. Don't you know this is a capital crime?"
Facing Zhang Ling's questioning, Li Tianshi laughed wildly. "Zhang Ling, don't you know that this world has been solidified for countless eons? There are countless immortals, and their descendants are even more numerous. From generation to generation, even a toilet has a toilet immortal. There are too many monks and too little meat. Which of the various sacred beings and those who aspire to be enrolled in the immortal register has not stained themselves with the blood of mortals? Those who are not enrolled are like this, and those who are enrolled are even more eager to rise to the top! They rack their brains, eager to try to reach that higher place.
Mortals are like cows grazing in silence, either to be milked or slaughtered. The gods in heaven see through the mundane world and don't care about the lives of mortals. They just need some fools to command the army and their lackeys to serve as tools. That's enough to keep this place running for billions of years. People like you who insist on pursuing the truth of good and evil are nothing but wild cats!
The young man in green seemed to understand some of what he heard, but also some of it was unclear: "Tell me, what is a cow, what is a pig, what is a dog, and what is a cat!"
Li Tianshi replied, "The gods who sit high in the sky, looking down upon the human world, would only think that pigs are fat and cute, honest and docile; dogs are loyal and energetic; cows are honest and quiet, neither noisy nor noisy. Only cats are restless, stirring up trouble everywhere, and wishing to create chaos in the world.
They only need cute pigs, enthusiastic dogs, and silent cows. Cats like you will be liquidated sooner or later!
Even so, I've gambled my entire life of kindness on becoming a dog, just to find a way out. I refuse to accept this. Why should those who are inferior to me in every way be born to roam freely in the Milky Way, enjoying the clouds, morning dew, and rainbow mist, looking down on all living things, and being superior to me? Is it just because I'm not a descendant of immortals?
Master values ​​my persistence and feels that if I can succeed one day, I will definitely be his precious right-hand man, so he temporarily lends me the Treasure Lion and the Fortune Cat!
"Zhang Ling, you don't understand. There are no gods in this world who enjoy harming mortals for no reason. They are all forced to do so. I am forced too! It is the rules of the gods that make mortals like cows to be milked and cut into meat. No one can change this, not even you!"
When Li Tianshi finished speaking, he closed his eyes in despair and shed a line of tears.
In the end, he failed and did not reach the Earthly Immortal Realm before Zhang Ling arrived.
Only by reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm can he have the opportunity to be included in the immortal register, and his master can help him. Otherwise, the hard conditions will be difficult to meet, and it will also be difficult to realize what he wants.
Zhang Ling stood there, listening attentively, his heart growing heavier, and he suddenly felt lonely and desolate.
Are the rules of this world just as Master Li Tianshi said?
Why!
Shaking my head, I suddenly remembered the blood and tears of mortals along the way.
Immortals have great immunity. To them, the mortal world is nothing more than a playground or a resort. They come here for a stroll or some fun, and then they can return with success and fame, saying, "I am a good immortal!"
Look at those mortals, they are still suffering and unable to be liberated.
