Chapter 75: Quick Decision
The Great Sage of Yellow Wind is the Yellow Wind Monster in Journey to the West.
According to what Lingji Bodhisattva said in Journey to the West.
The Yellow Wind Monster was originally a yellow-haired sable rat who had attained enlightenment at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Because he stole the clear oil from a glass lamp, he was afraid that he would be caught and punished by the Vajra, so he fled from Lingshan Mountain.
Later, he captured him using the Wind-Fixing Pearl and Flying Dragon Staff given by Tathagata, and imprisoned him in Huangfeng Mountain.
However, it is hard to say how much truth there is in this statement.
Bodhisattva Lingji said that he was following the order of Tathagata to let the Yellow Wind Monster hide and return to the mountains, turn away from evil and return to good, and not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
However, the Yellow Wind Monster's behavior in Yellow Wind Mountain is no different from that of other monsters, and he has a bunch of monsters and demons under his command.
There is also the Tiger Vanguard who is responsible for patrolling the mountains and providing wine for catching mortals who have committed crimes. It doesn't look like he is going to retreat to the mountains in secret.
Li Anran was not sure whether the Yellow Wind Monster had been "detained" in Yellow Wind Mountain by Lingji Bodhisattva or was still on the run, so how did he get involved with these evil spirits?
But, no matter which case it is, it is a hassle.
Li Anran didn't want to cause any trouble, so he decided to make a quick decision.
Roaring Sky Dog didn’t think too much about it. He didn’t know who the Great Sage Yellow Wind was, nor did he care.
He was only thinking about catching these evil spirits as soon as possible so that he could return to Yang Jian as soon as possible.
This time, he followed Li Anran to the mortal world and made a contribution. After he returns, his master will reward him with a big bone!
Roaring Sky Dog was so happy just thinking about it that he urged, "Prison God, there are more evil spirits this time. Do you want me to help you catch them?"
As soon as he uttered the words "Prison God", Li Anran knew that something bad was going to happen.
Sure enough, the expressions of the evil spirits who had just shown ferocious eyes towards the two of them suddenly changed.
They didn't know how high an official position the Prison God held in Heaven or how powerful he was. Just the word "God" was enough to scare them out of their wits.
The female ghost reacted the fastest. She stepped back, turned into a wisp of smoke and tried to escape through the back window.
The hanged ghost next to him followed closely behind, and while leaping upwards, he flicked his tongue, trying to push the other evil ghost forward.
These evil spirits are all from the eighteen levels of hell. They are selfish, vicious, and guilty of heinous crimes.
Even when their interests are the same, they have to be careful and vigilant against each other, for fear that they will be ambushed and devoured by their own kind if they are not careful.
At this moment, facing the legendary god, he had no idea of joining forces to fight the enemy. His mind was filled with the thought of " I would rather die than my friends die", and he wanted others to pave the way for him!
However, the female ghost had just flown out less than half a meter when she came out of the green smoke state and fell heavily to the ground.
"What's going on? Why can't I move?" the female ghost screamed.
The hanged man's situation was similar to hers.
With a "bang", he broke the roof and wanted to escape directly. However, his body was completely out of control and he fell straight down with a "bang".
This sudden change frightened the other evil spirits.
They looked at each other, not daring to act rashly.
To deal with these evil spirits, the method of summoning spirits and sending generals is really useful!
Li Anran felt emotional.
"Conscripting Spirits and Sending Generals" was the first spell he learned from the Book of Punishment for Evil, but because he was in Heaven, he had not used it for such a long time.
This time when he came to the earth and faced these evil ghosts and spirits, the power of the Soul Capture and General Sent was immediately demonstrated.
Unfortunately, he is now in the Nine Cauldrons Formation in the Southern Continent, his magic power and soul are limited, and he cannot cast spells with his full strength.
Nowadays, it can only have a restraining effect, preventing them from moving for a short period of time.
If it were outside, with his cultivation level at the celestial immortal realm, he would be facing these evil spirits whose strongest had just reached the true immortal realm.
He only needs a thought to turn them all into puppets.
Li Anran took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and a golden light flashed. A spear appeared in his hand, and he said, "Xiaotian Dog, you stay here and don't let them run away. Leave the rest to me."
The One-Horned Ghost King came to his senses and begged bitterly, "Goddess, we did commit many sins in our lifetime, but we have suffered so much in the Eighteen Hells for so many years that we have come to realize our mistakes."
"We escaped from the Eighteen Layers of Hell this time just to have a chance to reform . Please have mercy on us, Immortal, and let us live. We are willing to give all these gold, silver and treasures to you."
Li Anran burst out laughing.
Breaking out of jail is a way to reform yourself?
This statement is really strange!
Li Anran was too lazy to listen to the ghosts' arguments. He snorted coldly and said, "If I catch you, these things will be mine too."
The evil spirits: "..."
The evil spirits knew that there was no way to resolve the matter today, but they still looked at each other, fearing that they would suffer losses and were unwilling to be the first to take action.
Li Anran didn't waste any more time and rushed forward.
"Let's go together! Let's fight him!" A pot-bellied ghost yelled ferociously, took out a piece of bloody intestine from his stomach and threw it into the air.
The intestines squirmed and grew longer in the wind, and finally turned into a black python. It opened its bloody mouth and exhaled a cloud of black mist.
The momentum was quite good, and the black fog mixed with the evil spirit and corpse poison still had some killing power.
But this move is too simple!
Li Anran just took a step to the left, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the python's sight. When he reappeared, he was already to its side.
A spear was thrust out, hitting the seven-inch mark.
Bang!
The python exploded directly in mid-air and broke into pieces.
While throwing out his intestines, the big-bellied ghost did not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he leaned back without saying a word, trying to break through the wall and escape.
But it did not succeed.
While Li Anran was smashing the python to pieces, he had already moved in front of it and swung his spear, and a flash of silver arc appeared.
The big-bellied ghost was unwilling to give up his plan to break through the wall and escape. He reached into his torn belly again, grabbed two leg bones, crossed them in front of his body, and tried to block the spear to buy time to escape.
puff!
The gun flashed, avoiding the two leg bones and piercing his chest directly. Then he pinched his hands to seal his magic power and put it into the gourd on his waist.
The other evil spirits had no intention of launching a sneak attack or helping, and they chose to flee in all directions tacitly.
This is also the tactic they most commonly use when facing capture by ghost soldiers and ghost couriers in the underworld.
But, for Li Anran, this is simply courting death!
The effect of summoning spirits and generals is mainly affected by two factors: magic power and mentality.
These evil spirits were not as powerful as him, and they didn't have the courage to resist at all. They were afraid that his power wouldn't be strong enough!
“Detain!”, “Detain!”, “Detain!”…
Li Anran made some hand gestures and pointed his finger into the air, freezing all the evil spirits in mid-air.
Then he used his magic power to grab them in his hands, sealed the magic power, and stuffed them into the gourd, all in one go.
It was not until there were only two of the eight evil spirits left that they realized there was no way they could escape. They gritted their teeth, took out their swords and spears, and rushed towards Li Anran.
But by this time, it was too late.
Li Anran stood there motionless, waiting until the one-horned ghost king rushed in front of him, then he held his spear horizontally to block the big knife that was coming at him, and with a few twists and turns, forced the one-horned ghost king to let go of his weapon.
Buzz!
The spear turned, carrying the big knife, and flew towards another evil ghost. With a "puff", it pierced directly through its chest.
Because he wanted to capture these evil spirits and bring them back to heaven, Li Anran held back his strength and did not put too much magic power into the sword, but it was enough to seriously injure the evil spirits and make them unable to move.
The One-Horned Ghost King was completely panicked. He didn't care about the agreement with the Yellow Wind Monster and shouted, "You can't catch me! I've already been with Pu..."
Bang!
Li Anran didn't say anything and hit it on the mouth with the gun, knocking the rest of its words back into its stomach.
With a hand gesture, he not only sealed the magic power of the one-horned ghost king, but also sealed its mouth.
He doesn't want to know too much about these messy things!
Li Anran glanced at the pile of gold, silver and treasures in the hall.
These are useless to the evil spirits. They have looted so many things, they must be for the Yellow Wind Monster.
And from the little bit of information just revealed by the One-Horned Ghost King, these gold, silver and treasures are not wanted by the Yellow Wind Monster, but by the Lingji Bodhisattva behind it, or even by Lingshan!
I just don’t know what use Lingshan has for these worldly gold, silver and treasures?
Li Anran couldn't figure out the reason for a moment.
I just stop worrying about these things.
No matter whether it is the Yellow Wind Monster or Lingji Lingshan, what is the use of these things? It has nothing to do with him!
He is just here to catch evil spirits!
Li Anran waved his right hand and used the "Big and Small Ruyi" spell to put all the gold and silver treasures into his sleeves. He then cast a fire-starting spell and directly burned the temple into a blank space.
"Prison God, why did you burn down this temple?"
Roaring Sky Dog had just transformed not long ago, his mouth spoke faster than his brain, and he had a silly and cute face, completely unaware of what was happening.
Li Anran made up an excuse: "I think this place is full of evil spirits. It might breed evil spirits in the future. It's better to burn it down and cut off its roots. Okay, let's catch the remaining evil spirits! Let's finish it sooner and go back sooner!"
He didn't think that such a fire could deceive many people.
After all, it was he who captured the evil ghost, and sooner or later the Yellow Wind Monster and Lingshan would know that what happened here was related to him.
But, as long as we can delay him until he returns to heaven.
Even if Lingshan knew what he knew, he had no way to cause trouble for him.
At that time, he just needs to keep his mouth shut for a while and show that he knows nothing, and Lingshan will not bother him anymore.
