Chapter 281
Not only were the Taoists and monks shocked and blinded by the light of merit, but Ling Xiao and the Demon King were also extremely shocked.
The Demon King was in a trance. Either this little Taoist Yuan Jing didn't know the benefits of merit, or he had too much merit and he didn't feel reluctant to use it up. No matter how you look at it, as a Taoist, it is impossible for him not to know the benefits of merit. So it was probably the latter. He had too much merit and using it up wouldn't have any effect at all.
So angry!
If he had so many merits, why would he need to worry about this bitch Qianhua? Moreover, this bitch would not dare to frame him. At the same time, he was a little scared. Fortunately, he did not think of regretting it at Yingtanjian at that time, otherwise, he would not know how he died. Daring to plot against someone with great merits is just seeking death.
Ling Xiao was extremely jealous. Where did this brat come from? Why did he have so many merits? If he had known earlier, if he had known earlier... He could only remember Yuan Jing's face firmly in his mind. He had no time to think about the rest because the evil beast rushed down.
"Haha, even the heavens won't help you, you bitch Qianhua, let's see where you can escape this time!"
"Bang!" Ling Xiao was knocked away, and the wind blade and arrow feathers left wounds on his body, and blood dripped down.
"Ling Xiao!" The other Taoists and monks were very anxious when they saw this and wanted to go and help.
Yuan Jing flashed in front of them. These Taoists and monks looked embarrassed. Before, they would not take this little Taoist seriously, but now they know that he is a man of great merit. They don’t know how he covered it up. People who practice cultivation know that great merit, especially at his age, can only be brought from the previous life. The most likely possibility is that this kid is the reincarnation of a good person for ten generations.
Dealing with the reincarnation of a good man who had done good deeds for ten lifetimes? It would do them no good at all, and it might even backfire.
"This little Taoist friend..."
Yuan Jing interrupted them: "I don't believe you didn't hear it. They have a personal grudge, so they should be allowed to settle it themselves, so that Senior Demon King will not vent his anger on the entire cultivation world and the human world. Or do you want to see the Demon King have no hope of revenge, and then kill innocent people indiscriminately, so that you will be satisfied?
If the Taoist and Buddhist sects could have dealt with the Demon King back then, why would they have knocked him down to Yingtan Gorge and sealed him up? Even if you can seal him up again now, have you ever thought about how much it would cost? Who is the culprit that ultimately led to the decline of the Taoist and Buddhist sects? Have you really thought it through?"
It made so much sense that they couldn't find any words to refute it.
"Who knows whether what the demon king said is true or false? What if he just wants to get rid of our Taoist leader?"
"The leader of Taoism? Who recognized him? All the Taoists recognized him? How come I don't know?" Yuan Jing smiled contemptuously, "A demon Taoist with blood on his body can actually be praised by you as the leader of Taoism. No wonder Taoism and Buddhism are declining day by day, just because you can't distinguish right from wrong, and you are blind and confused!"
"Well said!" Funeng clapped on the sidelines, and some people also wanted to clap and cheer after hearing it.
"You..." Someone was so angry at his words that he blew his beard and glared, "If it weren't for the fact that you might be the reincarnation of a good man for ten lifetimes, how could I allow you to talk nonsense here? Why don't you leave immediately!"
"As expected you don't believe it. You are all blind and confused. Well, let you see for yourselves and see who the problem lies with." Yuan Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed out a ball of golden light of merit, which made the Taoists and monks envious and distressed. How much merit does this guy have? Why did he grab out all this merit?
Yuan Jing waved his hand, and the golden merit immediately split into many parts, flying towards the Taoists and monks present, and flew straight into their eyes. Yuan Jing said: "Now look at that Ling Xiao demon Taoist. Do you really want to respect such a demon Taoist as the leader of Taoism? It's really funny. Who is causing chaos in the world and the cultivation world!"
Because of Yuan Jing's words, these Taoists and monks subconsciously looked towards Ling Xiao. They were horrified when they saw Ling Xiao, and their minds almost broke, and they were about to go crazy.
What were those red lines on Ling Xiao's body? The red lines were tangled together, almost turning Ling Xiao into a bloody man.
One end of the red line was on Ling Xiao, and the other end, when they looked carefully, was clearly connected to the golden dragon energy in the capital and the dragon vein under their feet. The red line was the bloody energy, and for every point that the bloody energy on the red line decreased, the dragon energy and dragon vein energy would be weakened by one point.
Looking at the demon king again, although he also has some causes and effects, compared with Ling Xiao, he is so clear and clean.
"Puff!" A monk couldn't stand the fact he saw clearly, and vomited blood on the spot, shouting angrily, "Ling Xiao, what on earth do you want to do? If it weren't for this little Taoist priest who let us see clearly today, you would have wanted to deceive the whole world."
"It's true that the young Taoist priest called you a demon for a reason. I didn't expect you to be such a wicked demon!"
"Ling Xiao, why is this happening?" Some people couldn't understand and were greatly shocked.
“Haha…” The Demon King also gained merit and saw the situation of Ling Xiao clearly. “This is the so-called leader of your Taoist sect. Haha, what a leader! The young Taoist priest is right. You are all blind and confused. Look at how much blood you have committed. Some demons and ghosts deserve to die, but some demons and ghosts have never harmed any living being, but you killed them. The Heaven sees it all. If there is a cause and effect, it will be recorded for you. You want to practice Taoism? You want to cultivate to the Great Dao? Haha, just dream on your own!”
They looked at each other and found that many of them had red blood on their bodies. The more famous and renowned they were for slaying demons and eliminating evil, the more blood they had on their bodies. This almost overturned everyone's cognition. How could this be?
"Qianhua bitch, you actually still want to escape? With me here, you can't even think about surviving today, prepare to die!" The demon king's loud shout again woke everyone up.
A Taoist priest and a monk said ashamedly: "The Lingxiao demon has ulterior motives and is plotting something big. Let's take him down first."
"OK."
This time no one helped Ling Xiao to deal with the Demon King. They couldn't understand why in the eyes of Heaven, the Demon King was a good person, and Ling Xiao was the real evil one.
Ling Xiao was going crazy. It was that little Taoist priest who suddenly appeared and ruined his plan. Who was he? It was as if he was the nemesis of himself.
He actually has so many merits. If he had known there was such a person earlier, he would have caught this guy and taken all the merits from him. Why would he have caused so many troubles? The merits of this guy alone are enough for him to achieve many of his goals.
Yuan Jingxiang felt that it was not enough, so he gave out merit again, this time to cut the red line on Ling Xiao's body. If he continued to pull it like this, something bad would happen sooner or later. He also discovered that Ling Xiao could use the red line to draw dragon energy and dragon vein energy to help him recover his strength. Cutting off the red line would be equivalent to cutting off his retreat.
"Ah!" Ling Xiao screamed every time a red thread was cut. Without the support of dragon energy, all the blood evils backfired on him.
"You're looking for death, kid!" Ling Xiao went crazy and rushed towards Yuan Jing, wanting to stop him from ruining his good deeds, and maybe even make use of the remaining merits in his body.
"You bitch are looking for death. You still want to cause trouble under my nose?" The Demon King saw what Yuan Jing was doing and would not let this bitch run to the little Taoist priest and catch him no matter what.
The others also saw what Ling Xiao meant, and they would not give Ling Xiao the chance to catch Yuan Jing either.
The people at the foot of the mountain didn't expect that the situation would take a sharp turn after Yuan Jingfu and his men went up.
After figuring out what caused the landslide and the earth-shattering, they could no longer look directly at the young Taoist priest Yuan Jing. The subsequent developments were beyond their expectations. Many people were shocked, including ordinary people and the imperial guards who were ordered by the emperor to come and help the imperial teacher.
Do they still want to go in and help the national teacher?
"Why are you still going in? Did you hear that? The biggest villain up there is none other than the Imperial Master. There's also talk of him absorbing dragon energy and dragon veins. What do you think this means?"
Some people were puzzled and went to ask the Taoist priests and monks nearby.
Those Taoists and monks were also embarrassed. After listening to it, they felt as if they were wrong from the beginning. The biggest villain was not the demon king, but the Taoist Lingxiao whom they respected. They seemed to have heard from their superiors that Taoist Lingxiao was a demon and was covered in blood.
In response to these people's inquiries, they could only vaguely answer, "You'd better not go in. This kind of fight is simply not something that ordinary people can participate in. No matter how many lives are lost, it won't be enough. The higher-ups should be able to resolve it soon. Just wait a little longer."
"What about the Imperial Master?"
What about the Imperial Master? A Taoist priest who was quite upright and hated evil angrily cursed: "Stop calling him the Imperial Master. We are all blind and confused. We have all been deceived by this evil Taoist priest. If we continue to worship him as the Imperial Master, we will have no hope of ruling the court or the world."
At this time, screams were heard from above. The sound was so cruel that it made people shiver.
"Who is this? Why is he screaming so miserably?"
"Oh my god, look at the national teacher. He has changed so much. He looks so scary."
The imperial guards were still debating whether or not to go in and help. They could not disobey orders even if they died. But now when they looked up, they saw that no one was attacking the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master was screaming as if he was attacked, and blood bubbles kept coming out of his body, which was disgusting to look at.
Seeing more and more blood bubbles appearing, the Taoists and monks realized that they had really made a mistake.
"That's blood sin. That's the evil done by the demon. Now it's backfiring on him. Look at all that blood sin. How many evil things did the demon do over the years?"
The imperial guards and government officials all gasped when they heard this. Could it be that the imperial master they respected was really a bad guy? The scene before them did not allow them to deny anything. Even at the foot of the mountain, they could smell the stench coming down, and the source was the imperial master.
"Quickly send someone to the palace to report to His Majesty."
"yes."
Someone hurried back to the palace, saying that His Majesty had to make the decision on this matter. And according to what those Taoists and monks said, this evil Taoist was still draining His Majesty's dragon energy and the fortune of the court. No wonder the lives of ordinary people in the Great Zhou Dynasty were becoming increasingly difficult, and disasters often occurred outside.
In the end, the blood bubbles completely submerged Ling Xiao's entire body. There was no trace of a human figure at all. He looked like a complete monster. The Demon King and the Taoists and monks above had to show no mercy and use their ultimate moves to not let this demon escape.
The demon king spit out a huge wind blade, which cut the monster in half. Seeing this, the others hurriedly displayed their skills and launched various attacks on the demon, cutting the monster into seven or eight pieces. The demon king continued to blast it with a ball of demonic energy, which instantly blasted those pieces into pieces, leaving only a piece of rotten meat on the ground.
But everyone was still worried. Sure enough, they saw black smoke rising from the rotten meat. The black smoke condensed into a human shape. This was Ling Xiao's true appearance, and it did not look the same as Ling Xiao's physical body.
"Sure enough, Qianhua bitch, you really didn't die back then, what else do you have to say now?"
"It turns out that you have taken over someone else's body. You, this demon, have deceived us so badly!"
"Why? Why did you do so many evil things?"
The human figure formed by the black smoke had a pair of scarlet eyes. It glared fiercely at the people who were attacking him from all sides. It was these people who caused him to fail. The one who harmed him the most was that stinky little Taoist priest. If he could take over another person's body once, he could do so a second time. Seeing that stinky boy had so many merits, he might get the advantage this time.
The black shadow rushed towards Yuan Jing behind him, leaving no time to stop it. Yuan Jing did not move at all, and even pushed away Funeng who wanted to block it.
The demon king thought of something and began to gloat over the misfortune.
Sure enough, the next moment, another terrifying scream was heard, and it lasted for a long time. In the end, only the tail sound was left, and then a wisp of smoke was seen floating out of Yuan Jing's body, and the smoke dissipated in the air, leaving nothing behind.
The demon Ling Xiao's soul was shattered and turned into ashes.
Many people were stunned. How could it be solved just like that? It was a bit unbelievable.
Looking at Yuan Jing again, there was something wrong with his eyes. He looked at him as if he was looking at a rare treasure. Just when Ling Xiao or Qian Hua's soul wanted to take over their bodies and rush over, at that moment they saw that the little Taoist Yuan Jing seemed to have turned into a golden ball. They could only see the golden light but no human figure. Then they heard the screams of the demon Taoist Ling Xiao, and the sound of a soul being dissolved.
Yuan Jing touched his chin. It was just as he thought. This merit was not only beneficial but also more beneficial than he could have imagined. It was worth his time to figure out how to collect the merit and use it. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to deal with this Ling Xiao demon. The worst thing was that it was not easy to eradicate the root of the problem. Once his soul escaped, there was no telling when he would take over another body and revive again.
It’s great to have it resolved now.
It seems that he still needs to earn more merits in the future. The merits he has now are accumulated over several lifetimes.
I heard them say that he was the reincarnation of a good man who had lived ten lifetimes. Actually, the difference is not that big. He has lived for almost ten lifetimes.
The bitch Qianhua finally died. The Demon King was a little bit uncomfortable and disappointed for a moment. He had been sealed at the bottom of Yingtan Stream for hundreds of years, and his only goal was to get rid of the bitch Qianhua. Now that the bitch was really dead, it was as if he had lost his goal.
However, he was an old monster who had practiced for many years, otherwise he would have driven himself crazy during the hundreds of years of being sealed. He quickly adjusted his mentality, transformed into a human form, and descended to land next to Yuan Jing.
Although I couldn't see through this kid from beginning to end, I have to say that he helped me a lot. Without his help, even if I could defeat that bitch, it would end up in a lose-lose situation. Coupled with the vigilant Taoist priests and monks next to him, he would not have a good ending in the end.
The demon king patted his shoulder and said, "Thanks, but who are you?"
Others also pricked up their ears. Which sect or Taoist temple did this little Taoist come from? If they could find him earlier, they could have taken him into their own Taoist temple, and the temple would be prosperous.
Yuan Jing grinned and said, "Master gave me the Taoist name Yuan Jing."
Someone nearby immediately asked, "Who is your master?"
Yuan Jing continued to grin and answered: "My master's Taoist name is Bixu, and the Taoist temple is Liuzhuang Taoist Temple."
No one knew where the Liuzhuang Taoist Temple was, but Taoist Bixu was quite famous. Many people immediately envied Bixu's good luck for having such a good disciple. The Liuzhuang Taoist Temple would surely prosper in the future.
The demon king was also confused. Was Liuzhuang Taoist Temple a great temple? How come he had never heard of it? Or did it develop during the years when he sealed it? No matter what, he led Yuan Jing out and said, "Let's go first. Let them clean up this mess. Who told them to be so blind and confused that they almost caused chaos in the world because of a demon Taoist."
Yuan Jing smiled like a good kid and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, senior. Besides, I don't really understand this."
Don't quite understand? The person who heard it almost stumbled. Fortunately, Ling Xiao Yaodao was dead, otherwise, even if he was still alive, he would be so angry that he would die again.
If it weren't for this young Taoist priest's intervention this time, using his merits at all costs, I don't know how many of them would have survived. Now that no one has died, it's all thanks to this young Taoist priest.
Funeng also curled his lips and smiled, turned around and followed Yuan Jing. Mu Yinghai also hurriedly followed. He realized one thing, that is, he would not leave even if Yuan Jing chased him away. He would stay with the young Taoist priest Yuan Jing. This was his biggest backer. Let's see who will want to kill him because of his half-demon identity.
He was so lucky that he met such a noble person just after he came out of the mountains. He helped him avenge his mother. His mother's spirit in heaven will rest in peace.
As for that stinky man, who cares whether he lives or dies?
The Imperial Guards also sent people into the palace to report the news. From the emperor to the princes, eunuchs, guards, etc., everyone felt that their world views had been completely overturned and reorganized.
The biggest villain is actually the imperial tutor appointed by His Majesty himself?
The one who wanted to pry open the foundations of the Zhou Dynasty and the imperial court was none other than the imperial teacher whom they respected so much?
What? The Imperial Master was defeated and killed by a little Taoist priest?
