Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Madam, you mustn't!"

As he spoke, Cui Gui's expression changed drastically, and everyone looked at him after hearing this.

Cui Gui then added, "Madam, there is a monster in the back mountain. The young master is bewitched by her and doesn't want to come back."

After saying that, he revealed the truth of the matter.

It turns out that Cui Junsheng was originally the young master of the mansion, but he was somewhat passionate about matters between men and women and often went out to seek out women.

Of course, the more important thing was that Cui Gui was tempting him, and he wanted to go out with the young master and spend the Cui family's money to live a carefree and happy life in the brothel.

However, the Cui family is large and powerful, so they are not afraid of this kind of expenditure.

Ever since Cui Gui started following Cui Junsheng around, he has been constantly urging the other man to go out. Now, even without Cui Gui's urging, Cui Junsheng still goes out frequently.

Chapter 303 The Shadow of the Demon Fox

Half a month ago, young master Cui Junsheng was out seeking pleasure when he encountered a beautiful young woman on his way home. She was as beautiful as a flower and gentle and charming. The woman revealed her name, which was Hu Huahua, and she liked people to call her Hua Niang.

Hua Niang said she had nowhere else to go and begged the young master to take her in.

Cui Junsheng was filled with lust and wanted to arrange for the woman to stay with him, intending to take her down later. Cui Gui then suggested that she could be kept in the old house behind the mountain, where no one lived and it only needed to be cleaned.

Then Cui Junsheng took Hua Niang into the old house in the back mountain, and asked Cui Gui to help clean it. In just a few days, he had already become completely infatuated with her.

What happened next was the disappearance on their wedding day. It turned out that Cui Junsheng didn't want to get married anymore; he wanted to marry Hua Niang instead. So Cui Gui came up with a bad idea: to make himself disappear.

Now that the wedding invitations for the Cui family have already been sent out, it would be extremely difficult to get the old lady's consent to change the bride at the last minute.

Cui Gui knew this in his heart, so he let Cui Junsheng disappear. After the matter was over, everyone would probably blame Xinlan. If she went back then, the marriage would definitely fall through.

Upon hearing this idea, Cui Junsheng cheered loudly. That very morning, he and his servant secretly made their way there, and they already had a place to stay in the back mountains.

Cui Junsheng was so engrossed in his pleasure that he forgot all about home. This morning, Cui Gui, captivated by Hua Niang's beauty, saw her taking a bath and decided to peep at her.

Unexpectedly, they discovered that the other party was a demon. Fortunately, Cui Junsheng appeared in time and was not killed by the fox demon. Now he has returned quickly because he wants to tell the old lady about this.

Given the premise of the fox demon, even if Old Madam Cui is angry, she won't blame Cui Gui. When the matter is over, she can simply shift the blame to the fox demon.

Sure enough, Cui Gui returned quickly and ran into Old Madam Cui looking for him, so he took the initiative to come forward.

"What, a monster?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly alarmed. People in this world are no strangers to monsters. In a world full of gods and Buddhas, immortals and the like often appear, and monsters naturally exist as well.

Monsters are synonymous with terror, so humans are terrified of them. Just look at Guangliang and Biqing in the original story; they were terrified of monsters every time they encountered one, and they were even from Lingyin Temple!

"How could that be? My son would never be bewitched by a monster!"

As she spoke, Madam Cui's expression changed drastically, and she seemed somewhat incredulous.

“Madam, how could I dare to deceive you? I saw it with my own eyes this morning. That woman was a monster in disguise; her face was painted on.”

As he spoke, Cui Gui couldn't help but shudder. He was still terrified of monsters, having just narrowly escaped death today.

Upon hearing Cui Gui's words, everyone moved back, and many people had already retreated to the side, not wanting the monster to cause them any trouble.

As the saying goes: A friend in need is a friend indeed!

There weren't many people left on the field. After all, their relationship with the Cui family wasn't that close, so why would they stay and wait for the monster to come knocking on their door?

coax!

A series of exclamations rang out, and the sound quickly spread from the hall to the courtyard. Most people, upon hearing the word "monster," fled immediately.

It wouldn't be worth getting kidnapped by a monster just to drink this wedding wine.

"oops!"

"What should we do then!"

As she spoke, Old Madam Cui seemed a little at a loss.

"Madam, I have heard that there is a living Buddha monk at Lingyin Temple in West Lake. We can invite him to come and exorcise demons."

Many well-meaning people began to offer suggestions to the old lady.

The Li Xiuyuan of this world is much more famous than the Jianglong in the original story. After all, he often displays some magical power, so in the eyes of ordinary people, they will regard him as a holy monk.

Moreover, every four years during the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, Li Xiuyuan would display powerful magical abilities, and those who came to Lingyin Temple would all feel much better.

While it's not guaranteed that everyone will live to be a hundred, listening to Li Xiuyuan, this Golden Immortal, preach Buddhism will at least extend one's life by a few years. In fact, some people's chronic illnesses have even been secretly cured.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan's reputation in this world is much greater than that of Jianglong in the original work. If you think about it carefully, Jianglong actually didn't do that many good things.

Of course, the original novel only provides a partial description, and many trivial details could not possibly appear in the TV series.

"Very good! Go quickly and invite the holy monk from Lingyin Temple in West Lake."

Upon hearing this, Madam Cui felt reassured and decided to send someone to invite the holy monk.

She often worshipped Buddha and had heard about living Buddhas and holy monks, but due to her poor health and the long distance, she did not go to pay her respects in person.

"Madam, if we go to invite the holy monk now, I'm afraid he won't be able to return in time."

"Moreover, the holy monk's status is extraordinary; he is not someone that an ordinary person can invite."

As they were talking, someone told the old lady that if she went there in such a hurry, it would be very difficult to actually get the person to come over.

"Oh dear! What should we do? If we delay any longer, Junsheng might lose his life."

As she spoke, Madam Cui seemed a little lost. After all, she was a woman, and when faced with such a major event, she was somewhat at a loss.

After hearing the old lady's words, everyone wanted to help, but they didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, upon hearing about the monster, many guests in the courtyard fled, turning what should have been a joyous occasion into a disaster.

But in this situation, nothing good is likely to come of it!

Upon hearing the word "monster," Zhao Bin and Chen Liang's eyes lit up. They were young and fearless, eager to punish evil and promote good, and confident in their magical powers.

Chapter 304 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil

“Junior brother, we are both cultivators, and Master once said that we must punish evil and promote good. Now that these monsters are running rampant, we must take action.”

As he spoke, Zhao Bin stood up. How could he let such a good opportunity slip by!

Moreover, now is a good opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves. At the very least, we should impress our master and make him feel that we have not disgraced him.

"Hmm, not bad, senior brother, let's go quickly!"

As they spoke, Chen Liang and Zhao Bin walked into the hall, while everyone else stepped back. Only they dared to go forward on their own initiative!

Before long, the two heard from afar that Madam Cui wanted to invite the holy monk from Lingyin Temple in West Lake. They thought to themselves, "This cheap master's reputation is indeed impressive."

The Cui family is thousands of miles away from Lingyin Temple in West Lake, yet his fame spreads far and wide, and even people in such places know of his prowess.

"There's no need to go to Lingyin Temple in West Lake; we can help the old lady with her worries."

Zhao Bin spoke first, and then two people walked over from the side.

The crowd saw that the two men carried long swords on their shoulders and had an imposing presence, making them appear to be extraordinary.

"May I ask who you two young heroes are?"

Madam Cui was secretly surprised, but she still maintained the proper manners.

"My name is Zhao Bin!"

"My name is Chen Liang!"

The two men bowed and introduced themselves to the crowd. They said calmly, "We are two brothers who just came down from the mountain. We heard that a demon is causing trouble, so we came here to volunteer to help the old lady exorcise the demon."

As they spoke, they stood before the crowd.

At first glance, everyone knew they were extraordinary. Now, seeing the two men exuding an imposing aura, clearly not to be trifled with, they were even more alarmed.

"Young heroes, exorcising demons is no joke. Do you really have the ability?"

As she spoke, Madam Cui looked a little puzzled. Although she wanted to rescue her son, she wouldn't let others take risks.

"You can rest assured, madam. My brother and I have been cultivating diligently at Lingyin Temple for five years and we believe we have achieved something. As for whether we can subdue the monster, we will only know after we fight it."

As he spoke, Zhao Bin's eyes shone with confidence. How could a man say he couldn't?

"So you are esteemed disciples of Lingyin Temple. May I ask what your relationship is with the Venerable Monk Daoji?"

Upon hearing the words "Lingyin Temple," everyone was secretly taken aback. Could they all be disciples of the holy monk?

"Oh, the old lady and the holy monk are our masters."

As he spoke, Chen Liang deliberately revealed his front door. The two of them hadn't originally planned to do this, but seeing the distrustful looks on everyone's faces, they had no choice but to tell them.

"So you're a disciple of the holy monk!"

Madam Cui exclaimed happily, her heart filled with satisfaction. She then knelt down and begged, "Young hero, please save my son!"

After saying this, she sincerely kowtowed to the two of them.

After seeing Madam Cui kowtow, the servants of the mansion naturally followed suit and all knelt before the two people, hoping to save their young master.

"Madam, please do not stand on ceremony. We will do our utmost to protect your son."

As they spoke, the two men helped Old Madam Cui up.

At the same time, they were secretly surprised. They had not expected their master to be so prestigious. Originally, everyone had doubts about the two of them, fearing that they could not subdue demons.

Now that they have revealed their family background, everyone in the Cui family has gained the master's confidence.
