The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 214 Can a scholar's actions be called stealing?
Zhang Tianlu told the boy's parents not to worry, as he had already reported the matter to the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor was aware of it, having personally given his approval.

The Supreme Lord Laozi of the Tushita Palace will use a method to separate the two souls, and later send the little boy's soul to the lower realm.

Then Zhang Tianlu will help them return the little boy's soul to his body, and once the soul returns, everything will return to normal.

Upon hearing this, the boy's parents were relieved and immediately knelt down to thank Zhang Tianlu.

Next, Master Xuanzhen questioned Zhang Tianlu.

"Ancestor, I just heard the Buddha's voice outside. Could it be that the Buddha himself descended to the mortal realm?"

Zhang Tianlu nodded: "I never expected that Buddha Tathagata would be so shameless. Under such circumstances, he actually dared to come and save his disciple, and even wanted to protect him and forcibly take Maudgalyayana away."

"But it doesn't matter. The Buddha can't control everything, and the Taoist Heavenly Court isn't to be trifled with. This time, the Buddhist sect has suffered considerable losses."

Zhang Tianlu never liked Buddhism.

More than two thousand years ago, he failed to transcend his tribulation, and he knew in his heart that the influence of Buddhism was at play.

Therefore, after his resurrection, he has been hostile to Buddhism.

We seize any opportunity and show no mercy.

If you fail to ascend to immortality, it's perfectly reasonable for you Buddhists to give you some interest, right?

……

Just as Zhang Tianlu was talking to Xuanzhen Celestial Master.

Suddenly, a heavenly gate opened in the sky, and a golden pill flew down from it.

Zhang Tianlu caught it.

He held the golden pill in his hand, knowing what was inside.

It was that little boy whose soul was devoured by Maudgalyayana, but Zhang Tianlu didn't expect that Laozi would finish the job so quickly.

As expected of an avatar of the Dao Ancestor, his methods are indeed swift!

It only took a few minutes, and it was already done. The methods of this top-level expert are truly terrifying.

Zhang Tianlu accepted the Soul Golden Elixir and then bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Laojun!"

This golden pill is the epitome of the little boy's soul.

After Laozi sent the soul down, he closed the Heavenly Gate.

Then, Zhang Tianlu fed the golden pill directly into the little boy's mouth.

Laozi not only separated his soul from Maudgalyayana's immortal soul.

They also refined his soul, turning it into a golden elixir.

This can be considered as consolidating his soul, and a consolidated soul will ensure that the little boy's body and soul will never be separated again.

In short, it's for his own good.

This can be considered a stroke of luck.

The soul that Laozi refined can be directly fed into the little boy's body.

It didn't even require casting a spell to fuse the physical body and soul, which saved Zhang Tianlu a lot of trouble.

After the little boy physically consumed the elixir.

Sure enough, he slowly opened his eyes after a few minutes.

This time, the little boy's eyes became clear and bright.

It was no longer the shrewd and worldly look that belonged to someone of his age, which he had when he was possessed by Maudgalyayana.

Clearly, the little boy has recovered.

The little boy recognized his parents as soon as he opened his mouth.

His parents wept with joy.

This kind of thing is too terrifying for ordinary families like them; it's like having a nightmare.

Fortunately, after going through so many twists and turns, everything returned to normal.

The couple once again made their child kneel down to express their gratitude.

If it weren't for the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain, their child might never have returned.

Now that the matter at Leiyin Temple has been resolved, there's no need for Zhang Tianlu and the others to stay here any longer.

The remaining high-ranking monks suspected of involvement in this matter will all be handed over to the authorities for investigation.

Longhu Mountain can send a few high-ranking Taoist priests to assist in the investigation, in order to guard against these monks using magic or other methods.

With the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain watching over them, these monks will either go to jail or work on sewing machines; none of them will escape.

Before leaving, Master Xuanzhen looked at Master Zu and told them to go first.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master asked, "Ancestor, are you sure you don't want to come back to Longhu Mountain with us?"

Zhang Tianlu nodded: "You guys go back first. I still have some things to do. Once I've taken care of this matter, I'll naturally return to Fenglei Mountain."

Xuanzhen Celestial Master glanced at his ancestor, and then at the place where Leiyin Temple kept the relics.

I couldn't help but worry about the relics at Leiyin Temple.

The Celestial Master never leaves empty-handed; the fact that he's letting them leave ahead of time probably means he's eyeing their relics.

But it's normal.

After all, most of the buildings at Leiyin Temple have been destroyed, so it's reasonable that a few of your relics were also destroyed.

How can something done by a scholar be called stealing?

They're yelling "Robbery!"

With Leiyin Temple currently under official investigation and in disarray, it presents Zhang Tianlu with an opportune moment to strike.

After Master Xuanzhen and the others left, Zhang Tianlu glanced at Peng Demon King, who was following beside him.

He said, "Little Blackie, you know what to do, right?"

Zhang Tianlu glanced at the place where Leiyin Temple kept the relics.

Peng Demon King understood instantly.

He gave the Taoist priest a reassuring look, then transformed into a black shadow and returned to his old ways.

Overnight, all the thousands of relics of high-ranking monks in Leiyin Temple were stolen, leaving not a single one behind.

The monks at Leiyin Temple were furious when they discovered what had happened the next day.

Leiyin Temple was originally the number one Buddhist temple in the world, largely because it contained thousands of relics of eminent monks and had the deepest Buddhist heritage.

But now, overnight, all these relics have disappeared; they've been stolen.

What the hell is the point of playing this game?

Moreover, most of the high-ranking masters inside Leiyin Temple have been taken away for investigation, and who knows how many of them will end up in jail.

This once renowned Buddhist temple, now existing in name only, is no longer valid.

The monks at Leiyin Temple reported the incident to the police, hoping for an official investigation.

However, how could the authorities possibly investigate such a matter thoroughly?

After inspecting the site, the police found no footprints, indicating that the pagoda containing the relics had not been pried open.

After searching around, they found nothing. But you can't blame their investigative abilities; these people are just ordinary people. How could they possibly find out that it was a demon who stole it?

How could the Roc Demon King possibly leave any footprints when he personally swept away the relics?
The monks at Leiyin Temple strongly suspect that it was done by people from Longhu Mountain.

The official statement, however, claims that the Quanzhen Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain left several days ago, and that the theft at Leiyin Temple occurred last night, with the Xuanzhen Celestial Master and his accomplices having no opportunity to commit the crime, therefore the claim is unfounded.

The monks of Leiyin Temple later suspected Zhang Tianlu and believed that Zhang Tianlu must have been the one to report them.

However, the official response was later rejected due to insufficient evidence.

Is there any evidence that Zhang Tianlu stole it?

What are you talking about if you have no evidence?
After the incident involving that little boy, the authorities have clearly sided with Longhushan.

The authorities also have a negative view of Buddhism, given its past record.

They can even lay a hand on children; it's so satisfying to see them get what they deserve.
