Chapter 209 Asking the City God to Discuss the Law
"Where are you from, monk? You are so arrogant!"
Hearing that the monk dared to rebuke them, even Wu Pan couldn't help but change color. However, seeing the faint appearance of a heavenly dragon behind the monk, he realized that his origin was extraordinary. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out which Buddhist temple could produce the appearance of a heavenly dragon!
"I come from Xilan Continent!"
The monk who appeared as a celestial dragon reported his origins. However, after hearing his origins, the many ghosts and gods behind Wu Pan looked at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't even figured out how many Buddhist temples there were on Nanhua Continent, and now Xilan Continent popped up again.
This is because of the rumors about the reincarnation of the immortal king, which has led to the emergence of many Buddhist and Taoist monks and immortals in Dajin in recent years. They have gained some understanding of the areas outside Dajin.
Otherwise, they would still be confined to a corner and know nothing about the land outside Dajin. But even so, the so-called Xilan Continent is still beyond their cognition.
However, being able to run from another continent to Nanhua Continent, this monk must be very capable, or even have a certain background. But even if he has a background, so what? The distance between them is so far. This monk is no different from a wild monk with no background or origin, so there is no need to worry about anything.
After this thought came to mind, Judge Wu's eyes changed when he looked at the monk. No matter what, as long as a cultivator displayed his supernatural powers in the city, he would have violated the rules, and the ghosts and gods would have reason to arrest and suppress him.
"No matter where you come from, even if you are a monk from Shenzhou, magical powers are forbidden here. People who practice cultivation are not allowed to disturb the people. Follow me to the underworld, and the city god will judge your crime!"
Judge Wu made an impassioned speech. As he was speaking, the ghost god stretched out his huge hand and grabbed the monk like a dark cloud, wanting to take him back to the underworld to meet the City God.
"You can tolerate evildoers hiding among the mortal world, but you can't tolerate me? Ridiculous!"
The monk, who had a handsome face but a burly figure, was very angry when he saw that the ghosts and gods here had such an attitude towards him catching evildoers. The dragon that was originally looming behind him was completely revealed.
"presumptuous!"
However, at the moment when the Heavenly Dragon was fully revealed, a mighty divine light enveloped an entire city block. The Heavenly Dragon, the divine man in golden armor, and all the strange phenomena disappeared in the eyes of the people. There was only a sudden gust of strange wind, and a silent monk standing there.
Supernatural powers and Taoism are not revealed to the secular world. This is the rule set by the ghosts and gods of the Great Jin Dynasty. This is not an implicit rule, but an explicit provision. Ordinary people who are unable to practice are too powerless in the face of demons and monsters and know nothing about them, which is better for them.
Sometimes when you know too much but don't have the power to deal with it, fear will arise. If only one person is afraid, nothing will happen. But if thousands or tens of thousands of people are afraid, then evil will surely be born among them. Ignorance may not be a bad thing.
The incense and offerings from the people can create one ghost and god after another that are strong enough to make the big demons fear them. Even immortals have to give way to the gods created by the offerings of hundreds of households.
At the end of a dynasty, demons were everywhere, which was related to this. In turbulent years, once the darkness in people's hearts was released, it would create many terrifying demons.
boom!
Before the ghost's outstretched hand could touch the monk, it was blocked by the Buddha's light from the dragon behind the monk, and could not move even an inch.
“He is indeed a great monk!”
Seeing the monk clashing with the ghosts and gods of Fengtian City in the street, Feng Qing'an, who was watching the fun nearby, could not help but marvel at the power he displayed. He had no intention of intervening, but was just amazed by the great power displayed by the monk.
The conflict occurred because of the difference in concepts between the two sides. The ghosts and gods who are worshipped by the people will naturally consider the people. This is their foundation, and the ghosts and gods cannot destroy the city wall by themselves.
But even the ghosts and gods who loved ordinary people allowed the carp spirit captured by the monk to marry and have children without interfering too much.
This monk, who came here at some unknown time, captured the man's wife, causing a lot of commotion and making the people here panic.
This monk also subdued the demon out of love for the human race, but his methods were more extreme. He believed that humans and demons could not co-exist, and in his eyes, love between humans and demons was an act that went against the laws of nature and human ethics.
"Good monk, this is Fengtian City, and there are people living everywhere. I don't want to hurt the people. Do you dare to fight me in the sky?"
Seeing that the monk was ignorant and dared to resist in the street, Judge Wu did not attack again and directly challenged him to a fight.
"That's what I wish for. This is exactly what I want!"
The monk was also dissatisfied with the attitude of the local ghosts and gods in dealing with monsters. If there were omissions, he would have nothing to say. After all, this city has a large population, and it is normal to miss a few little monsters occasionally. But after knowing that it was the ghosts and gods who could shelter and condone them, he also wanted to argue with these ghosts and gods.
Now it seems that these ghosts and gods do not want to engage in verbal arguments with him. In that case, he will first use the Buddhist teachings that he has practiced so hard to communicate with these ghosts and gods.
"Amitabha, I will leave for a while!"
The great monk who was regarded as a great virtue by ordinary people, opened his eyes and said a word, and then his figure suddenly disappeared without any trace. Such a scene attracted many Buddhist believers to kneel on the ground, chanting scriptures and shouting that the Buddha had appeared!
At the same time, a monk who was six feet tall appeared in the sky above Fengtian Prefecture. His body was shining with golden light, and there was a celestial dragon entwined behind him. The Buddha's light was vast and shone brightly for thousands of feet.
At this moment, it seemed as if there was a second sun in the sky above Fengtian City. Of course, it was only in the eyes of the practitioners that there was an extra sun, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the sky just became a little brighter. This change was easily overlooked by the people who were busy with their livelihoods and was not noticed at all.
"I thought you had the guts to act so recklessly in the city. It turns out you even cultivated a golden body. Let me see how well you have cultivated your golden body, a monk!"
The figure of a ghost wearing golden armor also appeared in the sky, but compared to the monk who showed his golden body before, the ghost was no longer afraid and directly manifested a terrifying body of nearly one hundred and fifty feet long.
In the short time that the divine body as majestic as a mountain appeared, the mighty divine power blew away the clouds and mist floating above Fengtian City.
The great monk and Fengtian Wupan simply stopped restraining their power, which caused drastic changes in the celestial phenomena. Such a scene attracted many practitioners in the city below to stop and watch, looking up at the sky, not wanting to miss a single thing.
"Compared to my senior brother, you are far behind!"
Faced with such a ghost and god, the monk who came across tens of thousands of miles of sea let out a long sigh, held up the nine-ring copper staff that changed as the golden body appeared, and then smashed it down with a bang.
"you……"
The ghosts and gods, who had not fought with practitioners for decades and who had thought they would have a satisfying battle today, now had their eyes wide open and a look of surprise on their faces, which should have been dignified.
The next moment, the majestic bodies of ghosts and gods that were as tall as mountains began to disintegrate from top to bottom like mud and sand washed away by a flood. They turned into rays of spiritual light that drifted in the sky, and sprinkled a rain of light that was quite magnificent and gorgeous in the eyes of the practitioners.
"?"
"what happened?"
"What happened to Judge Wu?"
"That judge lost?!"
"What did the monk, no, the master do?"
The practitioners who were attracted by the changes in the sky and stretched their necks to catch a glimpse of the spectacle were almost all confused and had no idea what was happening.
They only saw the monk, who was incredibly tiny compared to the bodies of ghosts and gods, gently waving the copper staff in his hand, and the bodies of ghosts and gods fell apart like they were made of mud and sand, without even a trace of residue left.
Wu Pan of Fengtian faced the monk from Xilan Continent, and before he could even make a move, his body was shattered by a blow!
"This master is truly full of virtue!"
Also looking up at the sky and witnessing the scene of the Fengtian ghost being blown up in mid-air, Feng Qing'an could not help but exclaim in admiration again. Minglong, who quietly poked his little head out from the collar of his robe and witnessed the whole process, also made a voice of admiration.
Chant
"Hmm? Martial Arts?!"
Hearing Minglong's voice, Feng Qingan lowered his head in surprise and looked at Minglong.
Chant
"So that's it. It's not pure martial arts, but practicing Buddhism while practicing martial arts at the same time!"
Feng Qing'an roughly understood the methods of the great monk, but even without Minglong's reminder, Feng Qing'an could still see the clues. The inhuman blood energy could not be hidden from his eyes.
It's not like he hasn't seen monks before. There was a king with whom he had a close relationship. Because of him, he invited more than a dozen monks with high attainments in Buddhism to go into the underworld to preach.
Those dozen masters didn't have such terrifying blood. The warriors he had seen so far didn't have such an exaggerated physique. By the way, was the environment in Xilan Continent so bad? Not to mention that the monks there had such a physique, they couldn't tolerate the union of humans and demons.
"When will the master come back?"
"You're not going to come back and ignore us, are you?"
"What about Hu Da and his two bastards born from the evildoer?"
"This kind of thing doesn't necessarily require a master. Let's report it to the authorities. As human beings, we are colluding with monsters. The authorities can't just ignore us!"
"Yes, let's report it to the police handle it. Anyway, we can't let them stay here any longer!"
The noise of the common people drew Feng Qing'an's gaze back from the sky. He looked at the excited people and after thinking for a moment, Heishan, who was following him, opened his mouth and roared.
roar--
With a roar far exceeding that of Heishan's deliberately kept domestic dog, the noisy residence suddenly quieted down. Everyone's eyes were cast on the young man in white, who stood out among the crowd. Then they saw him slowly taking out a gold medal from his sleeve.
"If you want to hand this matter over to the government, then don't bother. Just tell me what you think. I am the inspector of the Night Patrol. I can monitor all officials and investigate demons and strange things!"
Seeing such a young boy suddenly revealing his official status, although they had never heard of the name of Night Patrol Officer, it sounded very powerful. Seeing Feng Qing'an's demeanor, many people were immediately frightened.
"My young lord, I see you have been standing here all along. You have seen everything that happened. We don't have any requests, but we don't want to live with evildoers, including those who have been involved with them!"
After all, Feng Qing'an had a good temperament, and in their impression, the government did not care about matters concerning demons, so one of them walked out, bowed, and made a request.
"Yes, yes, no matter whether it's the master or the government, we just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to have anything to do with monsters!"
The people living here all followed suit, and their demands were quite consistent, which made the man holding the two children look even more ferocious and his eyes bloodshot.
“You guys…”
He never expected that these neighbors who were usually kind to his family would show such hateful and abominable faces at this moment. There was no place for their family to stand here, even though they had helped the people around them in the past.
"Don't say useless words, just bring your two children and follow me!"
Feng Qing'an interrupted the man who was venting his emotions. The ups and downs in life had broken down the man's defenses. How could a man who lived an honest life on weekdays endure such ups and downs? In a moment, his wife left him and he was criticized by everyone.
The outward madness and rage were merely a cover-up for his inner panic and fear, bewilderment and uneasiness. He didn't know what to do with everything that was happening.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, you didn't break any laws. We just changed your place to live!"
Feng Qing'an sighed. He didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but he hated even more when such heart-wrenchingly tragic things happened before his eyes.
"Are you still planning to live here with your two children? The people here can no longer accommodate you. Do you dare to close your eyes when you sleep?"
“…”
Feng Qing'an's words left the man speechless. He looked at the many faces that were familiar to him in the past but now extremely unfamiliar, and suddenly shuddered.
"My lord, they are protecting evildoers and even having sex with them, giving birth to evil children. Can't we just throw them all into jail?"
When some people heard that Feng Qing'an just wanted to find them a new place to live, they were immediately dissatisfied. Some people harbored malice or even murderous intent towards those who were very different from themselves, even if they were just related to them, even if there was no conflict of interest.
"Is there any law in Dajin that forbids humans from marrying goblins? I know that if you kill someone, you must pay with your life, and if you owe someone a debt, you must pay it back. But they have lived here for a few years, have they ever killed anyone? If someone dies because of them, they can be sentenced according to the law!"
Feng Qingan couldn't help but sigh, but it was completely useless to reason with the crazy crowd.
"Three years ago, my youngest son suddenly caught a cold. It must have been caused by the evil spirit in their family!"
"Yes, my father-in-law broke his leg while walking in front of their house some time ago... "
"The osmanthus tree in my house suddenly withered..."
For a moment, the noise almost drowned out Feng Qingan. After hearing these nonsense, a vein bulged on Feng Qingan's forehead.
"That's enough. Do you know what a false accusation is? If there is no evidence, no matter what crime you want to accuse others of, the punishment for the crime will fall on you in the end!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately stopped making noise and dared not make any more noise, although they really wanted to blame the goblin for all the bad luck they had experienced in recent years.
"Tianlong Temple, Yinghai, I wish to discuss the law with the City God. Please open the gate of the underworld!"
At this time, a clear voice echoed over Fengtian City.
