Many people in the Taoist Association saw Jing Cheng sealing the demon that night.
The boss only used a talisman and a peach wood sword, and the demon had almost no power to fight back.
He thought he was downplaying it, but he didn't know that this scene was very shocking in the eyes of other people in the Taoist Association.
The people in the Taoist Association knew what demons were. They were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts. The amount of manpower and resources required to seal a demon was unimaginable. What was even more ridiculous was that Taoists nowadays valued their lives very much, and few were willing to take on the trouble.
And Jing Cheng only used one talisman!
——Is this something a human being should do?
Zhang Baodou, relying on his thick skin, asked Jing Cheng for a talisman that could seal demons, intending to take it back for research.
Jing Cheng happily gave him one.
Everyone else looked at Zhang Baodou with envy, because Jing Cheng only had one talisman left and no extra ones.
What they didn't know was that the talisman Jing Cheng gave to Zhang Baodou was just an ordinary amulet. As for the talisman that could seal away demons, Jing Cheng certainly wouldn't give it to outsiders easily.
...
...
The runes on the talisman that seals the demons are the demon-suppressing runes passed down by the ancestors of the Jing family in Taiyin Mountain. They are exactly the same as the runes on the demon-suppressing stele, and they require the blood of direct descendants of the Jing family.
Even if they took it back for research, they wouldn't be able to figure out anything.
In fact, each Taoist sect has its own secret methods, especially the three Taoist giants "Maoshan, Longhushan, and Gezhaoshan". It's a pity that the Taoist tradition has suffered repeated blows in the past hundred years, and Taoism has almost been unable to recover. It is only in recent years that it has gradually developed in a low-key manner.
However, the loss of various Taoist teachings is an indisputable fact.
Those Taoist magics that could shake the heavens and earth and astound the world when performed are almost extinct.
It's like a cultural reform - the ancient books are still there, but the people who can truly understand them are gone.
…
On the afternoon of the day they returned to the ancient city, someone from the Taoist Association’s headquarters in Shangjing came and took Peng Ji away.
Because the laws of the mortal world cannot punish him, only the Taoist Association can truly execute him.
It is no exaggeration to say that Peng Ji's crimes are too numerous to list, but this man was very cunning. Relying on his superb art of exorcism, he had never hurt anyone personally and always had a smiling face for everyone. Just looking at his otherworldly face, no one would confuse him with the person who set up the evil formation of Eighteen Dark Warriors.
However, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and karma will prevail.
If you do too many evil things, it will eventually backfire and you will suffer the consequences.
God took away his invincible face and turned him into a dying old man. Now any ordinary person on the street can make him fall.
I don’t know whether Peng Ji regrets what he did.
However, after being possessed by the demon and transformed into a demon, his vitality was severely damaged. He was in a coma from beginning to end, and he might even die silently.
But the Taoist Association will definitely not let him die so easily. They will even have to summon his soul back.
Zhang Jinhuai has found out that the owner of Jieyou Shop is related to one of Peng Ji's disciples, and the person behind the scenes is most likely Peng Ji.
Only Peng Ji could use such evil magic to make huge money.
The people from the Taoist Association told Jing Cheng and the others about the twenty-year-long feud between Peng Ji and the Taoist Association. Jing Cheng and the other two felt very complicated after hearing it. They really couldn't understand why Peng Ji did this.
Can a person really be this bad?
Humans are more terrifying than demons.
Qin Yan concluded in a deep voice: "Although he is not a demon, there is a demon hidden in his heart."
"I think he is scarier than the devil..." Fu Le rubbed his arms with a look of disgust, "This man is worse than a beast."
Jing Cheng leaned against the wall with his arms folded, his eyes lowered in thought. He even suspected that Peng Ji had something to do with the destruction of the demon-suppressing monument on Mount Taiyin.
First, the timing was too coincidental. Twenty years ago, Peng Ji learned the art of exorcism and mingled with the wealthy circle. The Jing family also became wealthy at that time. Within two years, they began to mine Taiyin Mountain, which led to the damage of the monster-suppressing monument.
Second, as Zhang Jinhuai said, Peng Ji is the man behind the Jieyou Shop. The talismans sold by the Jieyou Shop all have demonic aura. Also, Yan Xiu met Peng Ji without telling anyone that day, and later Peng Ji was possessed by a demon...all these show that the two have a close relationship.
Regardless of whether it was Peng Ji who did it, it has already happened. The most important thing now is to capture those demons that have fled to the human world and stop them from doing evil.
Thinking of this, Jing Cheng couldn't help but pinch his shoulders and sighed.
Qin Yan caught a glimpse of his movements from the corner of his eye and quickly said, "After staying up all night, are you tired? How about you go upstairs and rest first?"
"No need." Jing Cheng waved his hand with toothache.
I just didn't sleep for one night. Although I'm tired mentally, I'm not sleepy at all.
He just felt that he was under a lot of pressure and could somehow understand the psychology of contemporary people.
.
Seeing that the Taoist Association handled the subsequent issues caused by the sealing formation in an orderly manner, Jing Cheng immediately looked at this "relevant department" with new eyes.
The noise he made when he broke the formation that night was so loud that it was impossible to hide it, and many people in the outside world noticed this.
This is when the role of the Taoist Association comes into play.
In less than a day, all the information on the Internet regarding the inexplicable thunder and fire that appeared in Bijia Village at night was deleted completely, leaving almost no trace.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong in spreading this news. It's better to let ordinary people know that there are ghosts, gods, and demons in this world, so they can be more careful." Fu Le said with a sigh.
A young Taoist priest from the Taoist Association said, "You're right. Think about how popular the Worry-Relieving Shop was back then. Those mortals were like people without brains, believing everything! They had to go there to join in the fun, and only regretted it after the person died... They didn't know how much trouble we in the Taoist Association would have to deal with later."
"Yes, the key is that we helped them solve the problem, but they didn't know it and continued to do as they pleased."
"There's nothing we can do about it. If the people above don't allow it, what's the point of us soldiers speaking up?"
"Do you think there are only one or two mortals?" Zhang Jinhuai appeared from nowhere, suddenly approached them, and shouted, "There are more than one billion people here, do you want to cause social panic? You just think about nonsense every day, why not improve yourself? Can complaining help you solve problems faster?"
These young Taoists didn't dare to say anything when they were reprimanded, because they were the leaders.
Since Zhang Jinhuai still had a case to solve, he didn't stay in the program team's business hotel for long and left with the Taoist Association people.
Jing Cheng went to the hospital to visit Yan Xiu at Director Zhao's request.
The ward where Yan Xiu was located was easy to find. Although it was a high-end VIP ward, the outside of the ward was not as quiet as outside other wards.
A circle of young nurses gathered at the door of the ward, and everyone had a "heartbroken" expression on their face. They didn't dare to take pictures, but stood outside cursing the program crew and praying that Yan Xiu would wake up soon.
Jing Cheng and others walked into the ward under the surprised gazes of the nurses.
“The Beauty of the Golden Age” was lying on the bed with a pale face, but she was still a beauty of the golden age.
When a beauty opens her eyes, she is vivid and charming, and when she closes her eyes, she is also enchanting.
Ordinary people like Zhao Yi suddenly saw this scene and couldn't help but hold their breath.
"The hospital found nothing wrong." Zhao Yi looked away with difficulty and said, "They guessed that Yan Xiu just fell asleep, but who can sleep all day and all night and not be woken up? He is not Sleeping Beauty..."
Jing Cheng looked at it carefully, touched his chin and said, "It should be a lost soul."
Yan Xiu has a contract with a demon, and this contract has been in place for who knows how many years. The souls of the man and the demon have almost completely merged, so Yan Xiu's appearance has become more and more soul-stirring, and his behavior has gradually become closer to that of the demon.
In other words, Jing Cheng sealed not only the demon yesterday, but also Yan Xiu's soul.
Originally, Jing Cheng was not sure whether Yan Xiu had signed the contract with the demon voluntarily or was bewitched by the demon.
From what we see now, there is at least a voluntary element involved.
Otherwise, the fusion would not be so thorough.
It can be said that the current situation of him is all his own fault.
"Amnesia?" Others in the ward exclaimed.
Jing Cheng nodded and gave them a brief explanation.
He just opened his Yin Eyes and saw that Yan Xiu now had only one soul and four spirits in his body. The Heavenly Soul and the Earthly Soul, that is, the Taiguang and Shuangling, were gone, so he became a vegetative state, but this was only temporary.
If the three souls and seven spirits cannot be gathered together, they will completely disperse within seven days.
By then Yan Xiu would really be dead.
Yan Xiu's manager, Sister Wang, covered her face in despair: "How could this happen? If I had known, I wouldn't have let him participate in this program..."
"If something really happens to Yan Xiu, our company will probably be finished too." Xiao Qu frowned and whispered, "His influence in the entertainment industry is simply terrifying, and his fans are spread across all walks of life, and his number of big fans is too numerous to count... I can't even imagine that scene."
Zhao Yi wiped his face and said anxiously, "Yan Xiu is the face of our Qin Entertainment. I'm afraid the company's stock price will cause a big shock. You say this matter... Alas!"
The ward seemed to be shrouded in low pressure for a moment, and there was a dark cloud hanging over almost everyone's head.
Except Jingcheng.
He didn't expect Yan Xiu's influence in this world to be so great.
He was almost laughing out of anger. This was simply ridiculous!
If these people knew that the object of their love and admiration was a monster that fed on humans, would they continue to like him?
Zhao Yi suddenly looked at Jing Cheng expectantly and asked nervously, "Master Jing, do you think you can summon his soul back?"
Jing Cheng was silent for a long time.
To summon Yan Xiu's soul back would mean lifting the seal and summoning the demon back as well... He couldn't possibly do that.
The only way to wake Yan Xiu up is to give this body a new soul.
