Chapter 251: A Little Revenge, Some Dharma
Xiang Jun asked, "You mean Da Wu?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I told him to rest, and he was peeking through the window and saw me summon the fox spirit."
Xiang Jun laughed: "It's okay, that kid is very brave. You think you scared him, but maybe he will feel refreshed."
The two of them walked into Anyi Restaurant with smiles on their faces, and saw Wenxiu playing with Xiao Yier.
Seeing Gong Mengbi coming in, he stopped and said with a smile, "Master uncle is here!"
Gong Mengbi rubbed his head and said, "Sorry for the long wait."
Xiao Yier skipped to the kitchen and said, "Wait a minute and you can eat."
Jialu was sitting by the door, looking a little restless. He glanced at Gong Mengbi several times before mustering up the courage to come forward and ask, "Senior Gong, how's your rat exorcism going?"
Fatty Kang came out from the kitchen and said, "I was wondering too, what caused such a big commotion?"
Now that everyone was present, Gong Mengbi told the whole story.
Upon hearing that the Rat King was dead, the domestic deer showed an expression of shock and sympathy for their own kind.
"It's a shame. Hundreds of years of practice were ruined in an instant." Fatty Kang shook his head and said, "What good would it do to transform into a calamity demon even if you succeeded?"
Jialu sensed that his words contained something he didn't know, and asked, "What is a disaster demon? Isn't it just falling into the devil's way?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Yes, they have fallen into the devil's way, but disaster demons are different. Anything that can be called a disaster will inevitably cause endless harm, and its harm is far worse than that of ordinary demons."
"Floods, fires, locust plagues, droughts, rat plagues... these kinds of demonic influences are no small matter. The Rat King used the rat plague to cultivate the God of Disaster, transforming him into the Demon of Disaster. From now on, wherever he passes, he will inevitably bring a plague of rats, along with it, the plague, turning the blessed land into a deadly zone."
Jialu said, "It's like the drought demon passing through, leaving a thousand miles of barren land."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "This is the disaster demon."
The domestic deer's expression became even more complicated.
After dinner, Gong Mengbi said, "I have to go back to Lanyin Mountain first. The City God is unwilling to take action to control the evil spirit, and it is not convenient for me to take action in the city. I have to leave the city to avoid being discovered."
Xiang Jun said, "Evil spirits are filthy and can harm one's Dharma body. How could such a noble spirit like him be harmed by such a trivial matter?"
Gong Mengbi said: "So it's still my hard-working life that's going to keep me busy."
Fatty Kang asked, "Do you need help? I don't have any other skills, but I still have some strength."
Gong Mengbi had already walked out the door and said, "No, I can handle it."
Wen Xiu said hello to Xiao Yier and said, "I'm leaving first!" Then he turned into a flying bird and landed on Gong Mengbi's shoulder. The two of them disappeared in front of everyone like smoke.
After returning to Lanyin Temple, Gong Mengbi asked Zhu Zhengxin to light a bonfire, and the flames burned fiercely.
A white shadow flashed behind Gong Mengbi, and a young man in yellow clothes was thrown to the ground. Then two vines climbed down from the wall and tied him to the wall, making him unable to move.
Chen Jiayu felt dizzy and breathed the familiar air of the human world again.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an ugly pig face standing in front of him, and a blazing bonfire was burning not far away from him.
The pig-faced monster laughed grimly and said, "Sir, this guy is awake."
He turned and walked towards the campfire, poking an iron rod in the fire. Chen Jiayu couldn't see clearly and thought it was a branding iron, and sweat broke out on his face.
Gong Mengbi walked up to him and said, "Brother Chen, what is your relationship with your Rat King?"
Chen Jiayu struggled and said, "We have nothing to do with each other."
Gong Mengbi said: "Think about it carefully, I want to hear the truth."
The pig-faced monster behind him looked at Chen Jiayu, and the iron rod in his hand seemed to be burning red.
Chen Jiayu said, "Brother Gong, I thought you could understand our difficulties, so I held back. I didn't expect that I was wrong about you."
Gong Mengbi asked, "When did I hold back?"
Chen Jiayu said: "You can use magic to save people, so why can't you use magic to kill people?"
Gong Mengbi said, "You figured it out... well, I won't scare you then."
Gong Mengbi waved his sleeve, and the vines binding Chen Jiayu loosened. Zhu Zhengxin quickly let go, blowing on his palm and saying, "It's burning me to death."
Chen Jiayu looked at Gong Mengbi, somewhat confused.
Gong Mengbi said, "This is revenge for you stalling for time and putting my foxes in danger."
Chen Jiayu said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that without me showing up, Ziyang would still go down this path of no return."
"You wanted to let him go, but failed." Gong Mengbi said, "If he hadn't had countless opportunities to hurt others along the way, but never did it, I really wouldn't have hesitated like this."
Not only did the fox spirits sent by Gong Mengbi kill many black-haired rats, but the Rat King didn't kill them, only knocking them unconscious. The soldiers defending the city were nothing more than a good meal for the rats, yet he still let them go.
Although the demon's aura was revealed, it never acted like a demon. This was because Gong Mengbi only used magic to save the fox spirit but did not have the heart to do so.
Chen Jiayu said, "I know you are waiting for me to take action."
He gave a bitter smile: "Your fire is going to burn him to death. He is already dead and can't wait for me to come."
Gong Mengbi said: "Please help me solve this problem."
Chen Jiayu took out two things from his arms, one was a pair of multicolored gemstones, round as the pupils of an eye, and the other was a yellow cloth bag. When he opened the bag, a scripture was revealed with the three words "The Law of the God of Disasters" written on it.
When Gong Mengbi saw the book "The Law of the God of Disaster", his face immediately became solemn.
It's just a small book, but it's entangled with a heart-pounding aura, or perhaps a heart-pounding spell.
Chen Jiayu said, "Old man Ziyang is a treasure-hunting rat, his eyes able to see through precious gems. He knows his abilities are coveted, so he never reveals them. He has been practicing in Dongyang County for many years."
"But even now, as his lifespan nears, he has never been able to cross the threshold of the Soul-Nurturing God, and has never been able to reach the sixth rank. Later, someone unknown where he came across this Disaster God Law, and he gradually became drawn to it, developing an uncontrollable demonic barrier."
"This demonic barrier makes him sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. Every time he wakes up from the confusion, he finds that he is one step closer to achieving the Disaster God Technique. He knows that there is something wrong with this Disaster God Technique, but he can no longer get rid of it."
"The closer he gets to mastering the Disaster God Technique, the shorter his lucid moments become, but the sharper he becomes when he is awake."
"Until a few days ago, he realized that there was no hope of liberation, so he asked me to come to Jinhua to help him. I also happened to need his help with something, so I came to Jinhua."
"The government office posted a notice today, and I was supposed to take it down. He needed my help to free himself and escape the demonic barrier of the Disaster God Law. But you got there first, and that's how it all happened."
"I originally thought that if I didn't come today, he would escape and wait for me. But I didn't expect that he couldn't hold on any longer and turned into a demon."
Seeing Gong Mengbi's eyes fixed on the "Disaster God Dharma", he immediately warned: "Don't be deceived by it. This book contains evil curses. If you open it, you will be haunted by demonic obstacles and will never be able to break away from your karmic connection with this Dharma."
Gong Mengbi retracted his gaze and said, "You can free the Rat King and are not afraid of this evil law. Where do you come from?"
Chen Jiayu hesitated for a moment, then untied his sword and said, "This is the sword of precepts, called the sword of severing afflictions. I once attended sutras at Zhizhen Temple and know a little bit of Buddhism, so I can help him find liberation."
"A little bit of Buddhist teachings." Gong Mengbi showed a half-smile. "Being able to roar like a lion and ring like a bell, it turns out it's just a little bit of Buddhist teachings."
Chen Jiayu immediately said embarrassedly: "I am not a monk, and what I learned is definitely not the true teachings."
