"What do you mean?" Fang Jian asked Li Laodao.
Taoist Li asked in bewilderment, "What?"
"I want to ask you what this scripture means?" Fang Jian asked again.
Taoist Li suddenly realized and said, "Oh, these scriptures were left behind by the monks who evacuated from Yulai Temple. We just recited them."
"Really?" Fang Jian stared at Li Laodao with a look of disbelief on his face.
Then Fang Jian directly pulled Li Laodao into the main hall, and when he looked up, he saw the statue of the 'Great Buddha'.
"Fuck!" Fang Jian couldn't help but curse, then pointed at the statue and said to Li Laodao: "Don't tell me this was left by a Buddhist disciple! I've never heard of a Buddhist disciple setting up a statue of Buddha without permission, let alone a fake one."
The 'monks' who were chanting in the hall had cultivation themselves, so even if Fang Jian did not show his divine power, they could still see Fang Jian or hear Fang Jian's voice.
When these "monks" saw Fang Jian's face clearly, they were all shocked. They quickly stopped chanting and stood up, looking at Fang Jian in a state of alert.
Taoist Li saw these people looking like they were facing a formidable enemy and quickly said, "Don't act rashly."
After Taoist Li shouted this, the "monks" in front of him suddenly dared not move, but they stared at Fang Jian, their faces full of embarrassment, fear and helplessness.
Fang Jian had already issued two imperial edicts, one to Nan Tianfu and one to the Ministry of Thunder.
In the Southern Heavenly Prefecture, Fatian Palace, Master Bai Zhen, who had just arranged the transfer of letters from the Southern Heavenly Prefecture, was about to go to the Qingyun Palace to rest when he suddenly heard a resounding voice from the Red Cloud Palace: "The Three Realms Inspector and Judicial God, Zhenren Hongqing, has issued an imperial decree to summon the two generals, the Temple Destroyer and the Altar Destroyer, to descend immediately to the Yulai Temple in Bailu City, Nanzhou, in the Southern Continent, to await orders! The imperial decree has arrived. Those who fail to meet the deadline will be punished. Act immediately!"
In the Heavenly Palace, at the Thunder Department, a Thunder General also held a talisman and announced loudly, "Master Hongqing Fangjian requests the Purple Star Mysterious Talisman to issue an order, summoning the twelve Thunder Gods to descend immediately to the Yulai Temple in Bailu City, Nanzhou, Southern Continent, to await orders! This order is as urgent as fire. Those who fail to meet the deadline will be executed. As the law commands."
The two imperial edicts immediately made the two generals Fatan and Pomiao of Nan Tianfu and the twelve famous Lei Leigongs of the Thunder Department busy, and they ran to the lower world for their lives.
...
'Boom'
After a thunderclap, dark clouds immediately enveloped the entire Bailu City, and the center of the dark clouds was right above Yulai Temple.
The people of Bailu City thought it was going to rain, but after waiting for a long time, not a drop of rain fell.
When the people walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky, they saw divine light shining above the dark clouds. Fourteen gods wearing golden armor and divine robes stood majestically on the clouds, looking down at Bailu City below.
"It's a god! A god has come down to earth!"
"Mom and Dad, come out and see, it's the gods who have descended to earth."
"That's the Thunder God. He looks exactly like the Thunder God statue in the temple."
"Oh my god, the Thunder God has come down to earth. Is he here to catch the bad guys?"
"Evil people? Is it necessary for Thunder God to descend to the earth to blackmail people? There must be demons and monsters!"
In an instant, everyone in Bailu City, from the county magistrate to the common people, knelt down and worshiped the dark clouds in the sky. Some even burned incense and paper and paid homage.
The twelve Thunder Gods stood on the clouds, clasped their hands, and said in a loud voice, "Master Hongqing: Thunder God who collects plagues, Thunder God who absorbs poisons, Thunder God who repels disasters, Thunder God who removes disasters, Thunder God who destroys disasters, Thunder God who destroys temples, Thunder God who seals mountains, Thunder God who subdues tigers, Thunder God who kills tigers, Thunder God who destroys corpses, Thunder God who breaks through obstacles, Thunder God who controls souls, and Thunder God who exorcises monsters have arrived by imperial decree. Please give your orders!"
Following the Twelve Thunder Gods' words, the two generals, the altar-destroying and temple-destroying generals, also bowed and said loudly, "General Zhang Jingchi, the altar-destroying general of the Tianjun Palace in Southern Zhanbuzhou, and General Wu Yuande, the temple-destroying general, have come here under the command of the talisman, requesting the directive of the True Man Hongqing!"
The voices of the Twelve Thunder Gods and the two generals, Fatan and Pomiao, were so powerful that they spread throughout the entire Bailu City. For a moment, the birds in Bailu City were silent and it was extremely quiet.
But after only a dozen breaths, the "monks" of Yulai Temple reacted, their faces anxious and terrified. Now that the two generals, Detan and Ruining, had arrived, it was obvious what Fang Jian was going to do.
Yulai Temple instantly became noisy and chaotic. The calmest person at this moment was Taoist Li. He turned his gaze and looked at the anxious, frightened, and even somewhat impetuous Taoist disciples in front of him and said, "Get out."
"Go out?" Fang Jian said coldly, "Where do you want to go? You are chanting sutras recklessly and misleading sentient beings. You should be punished by heaven. Arrest these demons who are neither monks nor Taoists."
At Fang Jian's command, the twelve thunder gods immediately summoned the Heavenly Thunder Ropes. The twelve ropes came down with lightning and instantly tied up all the monks except Li Laodao and the little girl who looked only seven or eight years old. Then the ropes shook with a "whoosh" and bound all the monks into the clouds.
