Chapter 491: The evildoer is abominable and should be killed
The gold and precious jade promised by King Linchuan have not yet been delivered, and the Immortal Jinting must go and take them back.
When they arrived at the Owl Pavilion, they found that the people in the pavilion were as if facing a great enemy, and they all huddled in the dark pavilion. Even when they invited the Great Immortal Jin Ting in, they looked left and right, fearing that someone was following him.
Jin Ting Daxian asked curiously, "Why are you guys so sneaky?"
The waiter at the dark hall whispered, "Great Immortal, you may not know that today the old monk from Hanshan Temple came to the Prince of Wu's mansion to give a lecture."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "I'm just going to preach the sutra, what are you afraid of?"
Before the waiter could answer, a voice rang out.
"You don't know, Great Immortal, that old monk has a stubborn and fiery temper. He's inflexible and a piece of stone. If he sees us practicing unorthodox methods, he'll definitely start a quarrel. If things get out of hand, even the King of Wu won't be able to stop him."
Immortal Jin Ting looked in the direction of the sound and saw Elder Xiao coming forward.
Jin Ting Daxian said: "It seems there is a precedent."
Elder Xiao said, "It was two years ago. A fellow monk got drunk in the city and teased a fool. This old monk happened to see him controlling a ghost. He beat him to death in the street and brought his ghost out to liberate him."
Jin Ting Daxian was shocked and asked, "Killing people in the street?"
Elder Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Even though he killed someone in the street, he should have been held accountable by the government. However, ordinary people saw the ghost and spoke up to protect him. In the end, he was only beaten with a few sticks and asked the abbot of Hanshan Temple to redeem the man."
"At the time, the fellow monk had already claimed to be an advisor to the Prince of Wu's palace, but the old monk ignored him and even threatened to bring him to the palace for a confrontation. He's truly a piece of shit."
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "How capable is he to dare to do such a thing?"
Elder Xiao said, "He is the uncle of the abbot of Hanshan Temple and a living disciple of the two immortals He and He. He is of high seniority and profound in Taoism. The abbot of Hanshan Temple can't do anything to him and can only follow behind to clean up his mess."
No wonder he was so worried about the enemy. The abbot of Hanshan Temple was also a fifth-grade Taoist master. This old monk was his uncle, so his level of cultivation was probably even higher than his.
Jin Ting Daxian asked, "It seems I have to be more careful too."
Elder Xiao said, "That's right. That old monk has no taboos and is really annoying. But he's preaching in the palace. As long as we don't get too close, and the secret hall has formations to hide us, we won't be discovered by him."
Elder Xiao ordered his attendant to fetch Prince Linchuan. After waiting for a while, Prince Linchuan hurried over. Seeing the Immortal Jinting, he became delighted and said, "Grandmother invited the great master from Hanshan Temple to give a lecture, and we younger generations are accompanying her. Fortunately, the Immortal came to your rescue. I was really on pins and needles in the courtyard."
The Immortal Jinting knew the Lady Tai. When the locust plague was about to strike last year, the Lady Tai went to the Big Buddha Temple to worship Buddha. It was only through her name that the Jinhua City God was forced to take the lead in dealing with the Locust God.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I saw that the Moon Phase Instrument was already being refined, and I knew that the fleet had returned, so I came to see Your Highness and retrieve my salary."
King Linchuan said, "Everything is ready. Come this way."
The thousand taels of gold and ten pieces of precious jade were all from Prince Linchuan's private treasury. Although they were ready, he still felt heartbroken when the Immortal Jin Ting took them away.
The Immortal Jin Ting hid the gold and jade with his Taoist magic and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. If you need anything in the future, just come to me directly."
King Linchuan said: "If there is any problem again, I will definitely go to find the immortal."
Jin Ting Daxian was very satisfied and chatted casually with King Linchuan. Seeing that he was rarely interested, King Linchuan told him some trivial matters, his daily official duties, and his own difficulties.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Your Highness, if you find it difficult now, won't it be even more difficult in the future?"
Prince Linchuan didn't know what he was referring to, so he just passed it by vaguely.
Jin Ting Daxian didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he asked to leave.
As soon as he left, King Linchuan let out a deep breath, feeling somewhat frustrated, and his face did not look very good.
Jin Ting Daxian came out of the Owl Pavilion, but before he went far, he saw a dark shadow falling from the sky, disappearing into his shadow.
Immediately afterwards, a Buddhist chant was heard, and an old monk with a thin body, a sallow face, wearing linen clothes and wooden clogs appeared in front of Jinting Daxian.
The old monk looked at the white hair of the Immortal Jin Ting, staring into his golden eyes. The wrinkles on his sallow face seemed to become cold and hard. He asked, "When did the demon king come to Gusu City?"
The Immortal Jin Ting stood still, but his shadow began to move. A ghost with a bloody smell was forced out by his shadow. It was exposed to the sunlight and screamed in pain, shouting, "Spare my life! Great Immortal, spare my life!"
But the great immortal Jin Ting didn't even raise his eyelids. He stepped on the ghost and broke its ghost energy, allowing the sunlight to penetrate the evil spirit, and finally turned it into black air and dissipated into nothingness.
The Immortal Jin Ting looked at the old monk and said, "Is it surprising that a demon king has arrived in a place like Gusu City?"
The old monk watched the ghost die in the sun, unmoved, and said, "You evil creatures bring endless harm. How can we allow you to cause trouble in the human world?"
Jin Ting Daxian's brows jumped up and he said, "Old monk, what you say is unreasonable. When have you ever seen me causing harm to the world?"
The old monk said, "The evildoer is abominable and should be killed!"
The old monk put his fingers together to form a sword and slashed at the Immortal Jin Ting with the sword.
This sword strike wasn't in the finger, but in the mind. As the sword struck, the Immortal Jin Ting felt his soul extinguished.
With the power of this sword, Jin Ting Daxian did not hesitate to go all out, and his five long snow-white tails swept across the void and headed straight for the old monk's chest.
A bright moon appeared in front of him, shining the old monk's sword into it, and it turned into a bubble like an illusion in the water.
The five long tails slashed like divine swords, and the blades were enough to tear the old monk's linen clothes.
The old monk put his palms together, and his magic power turned into a copper bell. Five bells rang together and dispersed in all directions.
Then I saw that the pedestrians were standing still, their minds were blank, and they had forgotten what they were going to do.
The Immortal Jin Ting retracted his long tail as soon as it was released, and then he raised a long wind and fled out of Gusu City.
The old monk followed closely behind, and when his wooden clogs stepped on the ground, he left a phantom, and in a moment he disappeared in Gusu City.
After they had all left, the pedestrians woke up in a daze and continued to regain their mobility, not even realizing that they had suddenly lost consciousness.
The Immortal Jin Ting asked, "Old Monk, I haven't offended you in any way, so why are you so persistent? Are you being punished just because I was born a demon? Where has your equanimity gone?"
The old monk said, "You are a fox demon with a clever tongue, and you still want to disturb my spiritual heart? A demon is a demon. Once I catch you, I will know what evil you have done."
Jin Ting Daxian sneered and said, "You have a strong murderous instinct, but you can't catch me."
The old monk's face remained calm. Suddenly, a divine man in golden armor jumped up from behind him, holding a vajra in his hand. He leaped up and smashed towards the Immortal Jin Ting as if splitting a mountain.
Wei Tuo offers a pestle.
