I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 72 Reason
Watching his residual soul slowly dissipating in the air, Li Ming just shook his head. After all, torturing the soul is an evil act, which is against the harmony of nature and will accumulate karma, and hinder the practice of Taoism.

There was no need to do this for someone you just met. Saving his life was already a consideration because he was a disciple of Vajra Temple, and these people were talking as if they were using children's lives as bargaining chips.

Seeing that this person was indeed dead, Yue Yongfeng finally calmed down and bowed to Li Ming, saying, "Thank you very much for saving my life."

Li Ming smiled and said, "It's okay. Evil demons and heretics are punishable by all means. They actually used evil magic to harm people in front of me, and used young boys and girls as bargaining chips. It shows that this group of people have vicious intentions. They deserve this retribution after encountering me."

When Li Ming spoke the latter part, his expression had turned cold, and there was a hint of chill in his words.

Yue Yongfeng nodded and said, "I don't know your name, young man, so that I, Yue Yongfeng, can repay you in the future."

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It just happened to happen. How can I talk about repaying you? On the contrary, you are so strong in using the Vajra Mantra. I'm afraid you will need to rest for three months to recover your strength."

Yue Yongfeng smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know, but..."

Chang Miao also came over and asked, "Hey, who are they? Why do they want to kill you? It sounds like they want to steal your things."

Yue Yongfeng pondered for a moment after hearing this, sighed, and then said, "It seems that the two young heroes are not from the martial arts world."

"No, we are cultivators and just came down the mountain." Chang Miao said with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen such a feud between the Jianghu and the underworld. I've only heard of it in stories from my senior brothers before."

"Hmm?" Li Ming glanced at Chang Miao and said, "My junior brother is simple-minded. Please don't be offended, Master Yue."

"A cultivator." A trace of struggle flashed across Yue Yongfeng's face, and then he lowered his head, seeming very conflicted, and finally suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Master Yue, what are you doing?" Li Ming hurried to help.

Yue Yongfeng raised his head and said with a resolute face, "Gentlemen, I have seen that both of you are upright people. I have an unwelcome request, and I beg for your help."

Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Master Yue, please stand up and speak. I see that you are practicing the Vajra Temple's righteous self-cultivation method. This group of people are full of evil spirits, so I am helping them. If there is really an important matter, we will definitely not stand idly by."

"Thank you, sir!" Yue Yongfeng's face lit up and he stood up to speak.

Li Ming looked around and said, "But we can't stay here for long. We should leave first to prevent them from coming to reinforce us."

"Sir, you are right." Yue Yongfeng nodded. The three of them simply dealt with the scene and left the teahouse. They led three horses that looked relatively strong in the stable nearby.

"Senior Brother." Chang Miao's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Li Ming asked.

"Is there a possibility? Let's just say that I don't seem to be able to ride a horse." Chang Miao's face flushed red as he finally squeezed out these words.

Li Ming slapped his forehead and laughed, "I forgot. In that case, you and I can ride on the same horse. I will teach you how to ride in the future."

Chang Miao said nothing more and obediently got on the same horse with Li Ming. The three of them walked for a while and finally found a remote village near dusk. They found a family to rest and Yue Yongfeng finally told them the whole story.

The group of people who besieged Yue Yongfeng were a mixed bunch, including masters from both the black and white worlds, as well as a group of lesser-known killers and evil sorcerers. Some of them were motivated by money, some were entrusted by others, and some were subordinates of the person behind the scenes. However, since they were here to rob Yue Yongfeng's escort, Yue Yongfeng knew who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

That is the current eunuch Lin Yuying!
Speaking of Lin Yuying, he is indeed a character. He became a eunuch after being castrated at the age of five. He worked his way up in the palace, relying on seven parts of scheming and three parts of luck to get to where he is today. He is now the most trusted eunuch of the queen in the palace. He is simply the spokesperson of the queen. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has power over the court and the country.

When the late emperor passed away, the prince was still young, so the late emperor left a will, leaving four ministers to assist him. In addition, there was also a regent and the queen was allowed to participate in politics.

In this way, the three parties will stand in a three-way balance of power and share the power to ensure that the prince can grow up smoothly and take power.

Unfortunately, human hearts are the most fickle, and power is the most corruptible. Perhaps in the beginning, both the Regent and the four Ministers of Life were first-class loyal ministers, but as time went by, they tasted the power, and the affairs of the court suddenly became turbulent.

Especially as the little emperor grew older, it was time for the transfer of power, but the situation became increasingly difficult.

Then again, why did the eunuch Lin Yuying send people to rob the escort?

Of course, it was because the Buddha bone relic on Yue Yongfeng's body was related to a plan of his master.

Three months ago, the emperor wanted to launch a new policy and learn from Western experience for reform, but was opposed by two ministers of destiny. The other two ministers neither opposed nor supported it. Only the regent clearly supported the young emperor.

It was in this context that the Regent suddenly fell ill a month ago. No matter how many famous doctors were consulted, it was of no use. Finally, a high monk was consulted to find out the cause. The monk said that the Regent was under the influence of a magic spell. This spell was secretive and difficult for ordinary people to detect. Although the monk knew the cause, he could not resolve it. With his Taoism, he could only suppress it temporarily to save the prince's life. If he wanted to resolve it, he had to invite other Buddhist treasures from the temple.

That is the Buddha bone relic that Yue Yongfeng is carrying now. Of course, we will not elaborate on how difficult it was to obtain the Buddha bone relic. We can only say that the only son of the regent, the young prince, also paid a considerable price and made a solemn promise in exchange for this treasure leaving the temple.

After all, this relic is also a treasure to Vajra Temple, and participating in political affairs is undoubtedly risky, but it is also a gamble. How can there be any benefits without risks?

This matter should have been kept secret. The fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be. So the troops were divided into three groups, one open and two secret. The two secret groups were Yue Yongfeng, the third in command of Hengtong Escort Agency, and a servant in the Regent's family, each acting alone.

The reason why Yue Yongfeng was so trusted was naturally not only because of the 20-year reputation of Hengtong Escort Agency. The fact that his Hengtong Escort Agency could be so powerful was of course backed by its official background. The person behind them was the Regent. In other words, Hengtong Escort Agency was originally a force planted by the Regent in the underworld.

Yue Yongfeng is also an outer disciple of Vajra Temple. Although he has been away from the temple for many years, he still keeps in touch with it. Even the eminent monk that the Regent looked for after the accident was introduced by him.

Yue Yongfeng was able to activate the power of the relic to use the Vajra Body Protection Mantra because he was an outer disciple of the Vajra Temple. He had practiced the Vajra Temple's self-cultivation for forty years and was still a boy, so the power was so astonishing.

It was clear after hearing this that the Regent was assassinated most likely by his political enemies, and relying on Yue Yongfeng's Hengtong Escort Agency, Vajra Temple also took a gamble and placed its bet on the Regent (the little emperor).

Yue Yongfeng travels alone to avoid being seen. Not only is he a martial arts expert, but he also has rich experience in the martial arts world. He also has the secret method of his master, which allows him to stimulate the power of the relics when necessary, making him far superior to ordinary people.

Unfortunately, there was a traitor in the team. The enemy had made careful arrangements. If he had not met Li Ming, he would have died in the teahouse.
