Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"If that holy monk demon doesn't come, how can we exorcise him?!"

Seeing her son lower his head, as if his words were directed at Cui Junsheng, Old Madam Cui immediately spoke up, trying to steer the matter away from the topic.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan naturally understood what Old Madam Cui was planning. However, he didn't think too much about it and replied calmly, "Don't worry, I will handle the matter of exorcising demons. If she dares to come, I will make sure she doesn't leave alive."

After he finished speaking, his firm tone resounded throughout the entire hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, as if Li Xiuyuan's words had given humanity unparalleled confidence.

"Master, that Hu Huahua is Bai Ling's aunt. Do we really have to take drastic measures?"

Chen Liang, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask. He knew very well that Bai Ling and his master had a very close relationship! Should he give her face and just teach her a lesson?

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan replied indifferently, "Hmph, that monster has committed numerous evils. She specializes in digging out people's hearts to eat in order to maintain her beauty. She has killed countless people over the past few hundred years. How can I let her go unpunished?"

As he spoke, his righteous and indignant voice rang out.

hum!

Cui Junsheng, who was kneeling at the bottom, felt his legs go weak when he heard these words. He felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the words "dig out people's hearts".

Fortunately, Chen Liang and Zhao Bin came, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

After thinking about this place, Cui Junsheng felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

"Holy Monk, you are indeed selfless and impartial, truly worthy of being called a Living Buddha!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Cui couldn't help but flatter Li Xiuyuan, praising him as incredibly capable.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Master, truly a master!"

"That's it."

Those around him, seeing the old lady's praise, readily echoed her sentiments, even Cui Junsheng. If Hua Niang hadn't died, he would have been entangled with her, and how could he have peace of mind?

After listening to everyone's words, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "These are just things I should do."

After hearing Li Xiuyuan's voice, no one dared to interrupt.

At this moment, Zhao Bin suddenly spoke up and asked, "Master, you said it digs out people's hearts, so why does this monster like to eat people's hearts?"

As he spoke, his curiosity grew.

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "That's right, that monster does indeed like to extract people's hearts. As for why it does so, there's a reason..."

As he spoke, he revealed that Hu Huahua had removed other people's hearts in order to maintain her youthful appearance.

That's it!

Upon hearing this, everyone finally realized that this monster had actually dug out other people's hearts in order to maintain her beauty, which was truly unforgivable.

One can imagine how many people suffered at the hands of this fox demon in the hundreds of years after it attained enlightenment; no wonder even the holy monk couldn't help but be enraged.

"Master, this monster is extremely wicked and must not be let go."

Zhao Bin quickly replied.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuyuan nodded slightly.

"Master, are we just going to wait here for the demon to appear? If she doesn't come out, are we going to have to stay here forever?"

As he spoke, Chen Liang, who was standing next to him, asked, "That's right. Hu Huahua would definitely not act rashly just to be on the safe side."

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way. Didn't she say that unless you stay by Young Master Cui's side, she'll come sooner or later?"

Li Xiuyuan paused for a moment and then continued, "In that case, you can leave first. The monster will definitely show up in a couple of days. He never expected that I would be at the Cui residence."

As he spoke, he explained his plan. Although it wasn't very good, it was quite practical. As long as the monster was bewitched, she would walk right into his trap.

"Master, do you really want us to leave?"

Zhao Bin couldn't help but ask, "This place is so much fun, and there's even a fox demon here. If we leave now, won't we miss out on a spectacular scene?"

Hearing Zhao Bin's persistent questioning, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "What, is there any truth to this? To make it more believable, we'll have to let you leave first."

He paused for a moment and then said, "It's strange, your skills are not good enough. Otherwise, why would I have come here in person?"

As he spoke, he looked at the two men with a sly smile, sending chills down their spines.

"Ha ha!"

"Since Master has spoken, we shall leave now."

As he spoke, Zhao Bin grabbed Chen Liang's arm and the two of them ran out quickly, not letting anyone speak.

"Ah, two heroes!"

Old Master Cui stood up, wanting to chase after them, but they had already left.

Chapter 312 The Commoner's Heart Orchid

"Holy Monk, this..."

After seeing Zhao Bin and Chen Liang leave, Madam Cui was a little flustered, thinking that she hadn't been attentive enough! She didn't even say a word and just ran outside.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, Madam. Those two just left so that the demon could emerge from among them. With me here, I will never allow the demon to run rampant."

After saying that, he explained that it didn't matter whether Zhao Bin and Chen Liang were there or not.

As for why the two of them ran so fast, the truth is that every time Li Xiuyuan gave them that look, they never fared well. They were practically traumatized by the mountain, so naturally they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Oh! It's a pity I won't have the chance to repay these two heroes."

Madam Cui replied calmly, expressing her gratitude to both Zhao Bin and Chen Liang, as they had saved the Cui family.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "We will meet again in the future if fate allows."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Madam Cui imagined that Li Xiuyuan had asked for leave to practice Buddhism, but he respectfully said that his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted on his journey to this sea of ​​consciousness and that he needed to replenish it properly, so he was going to rest for the time being.

Madam Cui, without suspecting anything, quickly arranged a fine room for Li Xiuyuan to stay in temporarily, since they still needed Li Xiuyuan to help the Cui family out of their predicament.

Li Xiuyuan was resting in his room. The teleportation that covered thousands of miles was of no use to him at all. As for why he said that, it was simply because he didn't want to preach Buddhism to an old woman.

If she were a stunning beauty, Li Xiuyuan might have given it a second thought, but unfortunately, she's already so old, hehe.

Time flies, and three days have passed since Chen Liang and Zhao Bin left. The mansion is becoming increasingly peaceful, yet it gives people a feeling that a storm is brewing.

On this dark night, in a side room of the Cui residence, two people were seen discussing something. If someone looked closely, they would recognize them as Cui Junsheng and Cui Gui.

"Cui Gui, hurry up and think of a way to go out with me. I'm going crazy if we stay here any longer."

As he spoke, Cui Junsheng was quite dissatisfied. You see, as a playboy, how could he not have women?

Since the last incident, his cousin Xinlan has ignored him. Cui Junsheng went to great lengths to obtain her forgiveness, but it was all just for show.

So, he wanted to go out and have some fun. If it weren't for the vixen, Cui Junsheng would probably have left long ago, but since she hadn't appeared for three days, his concerns had lessened considerably.

He thought to himself that he was only going out for a short while and nothing would happen to him.

"Young Master, that won't do. If the Old Madam finds out, she'll definitely break my legs."

As he spoke, Cui Gui couldn't help but complain that he also wanted to go out and catch up with his old flame, but he couldn't do so because of the current situation at home.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? If you don't do as I say, I'll break your legs right now."

As he spoke, Cui Junsheng shouted something that startled Cui Gui, who was standing next to him, causing him to shudder.

"Young master, have you forgotten that vixen outside?"

Cui Gui wanted to continue making changes, which was what Cui Junsheng was thinking, but things didn't go as planned.

"What vixen? I think she left a long time ago, otherwise she would have shown up in the past few days!"

As he spoke, Cui Junsheng became somewhat dissatisfied. He had been abstaining from lust for several days, but that vixen had not appeared. In addition, the people in the mansion had many complaints about him, so he wanted to go out for a drink and relax.

"this........."

Upon hearing this, Cui Gui was momentarily speechless.

"Hey, hurry up and come out with me."

After saying that, Cui Junsheng grabbed Cui Gui and ran out. The two of them had been in the mansion for more than 20 years, so it was naturally easy for them to avoid the other servants.

Besides, this isn't the first time they've done something like this.

.................................................. ..

Li Xiuyuan stood on the artificial hill in the backyard, gazing at the starry sky, and said calmly, "As expected, a leopard can't change its spots."

He thought to himself, "This Cui Junsheng seems to be beyond redemption. You know, in the original story, he even had a son, but after encountering the fox spirit, he still wanted to leave."

Finally, things improved somewhat after he was resurrected after death, but Li Xiuyuan wouldn't care. Even if this fox spirit really killed Cui Junsheng, he wouldn't care.

After all, those outside were not under his protection, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself. Suddenly, he heard a soft voice: "This humble woman, Xinlan, greets the Holy Monk!"

Li Xiuyuan turned his head and saw a woman standing in front of him. The woman was delicate and slender, with a face like goose fat, lips like cherry blossoms, eyebrows like ink paintings, and a gaze like autumn water. She was indescribably gentle and charming.

Her emerald green dress stood out even more brightly and vividly in the murky rain, like rain-soaked lotus leaves or a thin mist over a mountain, exuding an indescribable ethereal and graceful charm.

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Amitabha! Greetings, female benefactor."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xinlan. He had noticed her walking slowly over earlier, but he hadn't called her name.

Xinlan is also a very outstanding woman in the story of the Living Buddha Jigong. I remember that in the original novel, Xinlan asked Daoji to save her husband. First, she carried him a long way, then she washed his feet, and finally she ate a dirty and smelly steamed bun.
