Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"Help!"

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the alleyway. Li Xiuyuan frowned. He hadn't expected Lin'an to be in such chaos. After all, it was a magnificent city. Who would dare to snatch someone in the street?

Li Xiuyuan moved swiftly and soon found a few people on a less crowded street. Several lackeys dressed as servants called out, "Miss, come with us!"

My young master has plenty of money and connections. If you behave well, he'll release you immediately.

Several people were seen dragging a young girl, and it was unclear where they intended to take her.

At the same time, a handsome young man dressed in fine clothes lewdly said, "Hehe, little lady, just follow me for a bit of fun, and I'll let you go right away."

As he spoke, he couldn't resist reaching out his hand, wanting to touch the face of the girl in the pale white dress.

"stop!"

Li Xiuyuan roared, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the group. He reached out and grabbed the young master's lewd hand, and with his other hand, he slapped the Wind Spirit Fan, unleashing a torrent of magical power that instantly knocked the group to the ground.

Li Xiuyuan helped the girl up. He saw that the girl's slender hands were as white as jade, and her black hair was tied up in a princess bun with a pearl hairpin and tassels hanging from it.

Her face was fair and clean, her skin soft and delicate, her eyebrows long and graceful, and her eyes sparkling like stars. She wore a white blouse with floral patterns and a white pleated skirt.

The girl's eyes were filled with tears. She never expected that someone would forcibly abduct a woman from a commoner's home in broad daylight, while the others just stood by and did nothing, seemingly afraid of the young master.

What Hong Xiuying didn't know was that as the second young master of the Qin family, this man was very famous in Lin'an City. Many people had been insulted by him and wanted to report him to the authorities.

However, in this world, almost everyone is a protector of officials. Who would risk offending the son of the Grand Tutor's mansion for the sake of an ordinary citizen like yourself?

Looking at the girl, Li Xiuyuan's heart fluttered slightly. He asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

When the girl in white saw a monk suddenly appear, knock several people away, and then save her from the young master's clutches, she already regarded him as her savior. She cried and said, "It's alright, thank you for your help, benefactor."

As he spoke, he hid behind Li Xiuyuan, afraid of being caught by a few more people.

The richly dressed young man roared, "Damn it, where did this wild monk come from, daring to meddle in my business?"

As he spoke, he pulled hard, trying to pull his hand back.

Unfortunately, Li Xiuyuan's power is so great that he can't just take it back whenever he wants.

He stood motionless in the same spot.

Chapter 137 Commoner Girl Hong Xiuying

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up in a sneer, "Oh, a wild monk?"

As he spoke, his tone turned cold, sending chills down one's spine. Li Xiuyuan, though a monk, was no ordinary monk; he had killed just as many people as anyone else.

A hint of murderous intent emanated from him, which terrified the elegantly dressed young man.

Chi Chi!

Suddenly, a strong smell of urine wafted over, and he was so frightened by Li Xiuyuan that he wet himself.

"Young Master."

The lackeys lying on the ground were dumbfounded to see that their young master had even wet himself in fright. They exchanged glances and immediately realized that it was the monk who was behind it all.

Whoosh!

Several servants rushed forward and shouted, "This is Grand Tutor Qin's second son, don't you dare do anything rash!"

As they spoke, they rushed forward and surrounded Li Xiuyuan.

Seeing the group of people brazenly approaching, Li Xiuyuan coldly shouted, "Get lost!"

As he spoke, he waved his Wind Spirit Fan, and several people were sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

At this moment, the elegantly dressed young man finally woke up. After seeing his disheveled state, he felt that the monk in front of him was terrifying. He exclaimed in surprise, "What are you going to do!"

"Let me tell you, I am Qin Heng, the son of Grand Tutor Qin. Do you dare lay a hand on me? I'll have your entire family wiped out!"

boom!

With a gentle push from Li Xiuyuan's arm, Qin Heng fell to the ground. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but recall the saying from later generations: "My dad is Li Gang!"

They all rely on their fathers' connections, but that doesn't work when it comes to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up as he chuckled, "You lot have committed all sorts of evil deeds, daring to abduct women in the street. You are truly courting death. And you, Qin Heng, relying on your father, have done countless heinous things."

Heaven believes in cause and effect, and today you have encountered this poor monk; it is your just deserts to receive your retribution!

As he spoke, he pointed his finger out, and a beam of black light fell on Qin Heng's head. In an instant, his hair began to turn white.

Then, Li Xiuyuan made his move again. The henchmen were just accomplices, so their punishment wasn't that severe, but the black light fell on them, instantly reducing their lifespan by thirty years.

Qin Heng's skin was already aging, and he was unable to take care of his lower body. He could only live for another year or two at most. At this time, Li Xiuyuan was a monk, so it was not appropriate for him to kill someone in the street.

But these punishments were by no means light, and Qin Heng was already terrified. Looking at his graying hair and falling fingernails, he cried out, "You evil monk, I will never let you go!"

With that, he scrambled away with the help of several servants.

When the girl came to her senses, she was shocked to see such an amazing scene. She stepped back in fear, bowed deeply, and said, "This humble woman, Hong Xiuying, thanks the master for saving me."

So many people on the street didn't help her, and she thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly Li Xiuyuan appeared out of nowhere and saved her life.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan clasped his hands together and smiled, "Amitabha! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This is what this humble monk should do."

As he spoke, he pondered to himself.

This person is Hong Xiuying, who also appeared in the original work, but certainly not in this form. It seems that this world has long since deviated from its original trajectory.

It was like different martial arts worlds; after merging into the Immortal Realm, they were all a little different, but they were still roughly similar, he thought to himself.

If Hong Xiuying is saved now, her fate will not be so tragic. In the original story, she was defiled by Qin Heng, this playboy.

Later, a series of incidents occurred. Now that Li Xiuyuan has severely punished Qin Heng, it won't be long before his cheap father can't sit still anymore.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan is not the Dragon Subduer from the original story. Compared to Qin Heng, who committed so many heinous crimes, he was able to atone for his sins simply by becoming a monk.

What use is the law if everyone were to act like that, offering salvation and relief from suffering?

As for why Jianglong in the original work persuaded Qin Heng to join Buddhism, it was ultimately to expand the influence of Buddhism. Qin Heng's father was the Grand Tutor of the court, holding a high position and great power. Who would want to offend him for no reason?

If Jianglong really wanted Qin Heng's life, would people still believe in Buddhism?

That's just wishful thinking. So Li Xiuyuan couldn't agree with some of the Buddhist practices. Fortunately, he wasn't just a Buddhist; he also had a connection to the Demonic Sect.

The practice they cultivate is not solely based on the Mahavairocana Sutra.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, Hong Xiuying cried out in surprise. She bent over and clutched her stomach, seemingly in great pain.

Li Xiuyuan quickly helped her up, asking, "Miss Hong, are you alright?"

Hong Xiuying whispered in pain, "No, I don't know why, my stomach suddenly started hurting terribly!"

As she spoke, large beads of sweat streamed down her face.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was startled and said, "This humble monk knows a little about medicine. Why don't I take a look at you?"

Hong Xiuying replied, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."

As she spoke, her stomach started to hurt more and more.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan quickly led her away. After all, they were still on the street and it wasn't appropriate to sit down there. In an instant, the two of them were already outside the city.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan placed Hong Xiuying on the grass. She felt her stomach churning violently, a pain no less intense than that of childbirth.

Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss Hong, please forgive me!"

He had no medical skills whatsoever. He placed his hand on Hong Xiuying's abdomen, stroked it up and down for a while, and then slowly channeled some internal energy into her.

At this moment, Hong Xiuying's face turned red, but thinking of the compassionate heart of a doctor, she didn't think too much about it. A warm current of true energy came over her, which greatly reduced her pain.

Although Li Xiuyuan touched Hong Xiuying's belly for a while through a layer of clothing, the warmth of her body still reached his palms, causing him to feel a surge of emotion.

To be honest, Hong Xiuying is quite beautiful, comparable to Bai Ling. No wonder Qin Heng took a liking to her and even tried to abduct her in the street.

Chapter 138 The Mystery of the Ghost Child

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan spoke up, "Miss Hong, are you alright?"

At this moment, Hong Xiuying's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Yes, thank you for your help, Master. I am no longer in pain. Also, could you please remove your hand?"

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan saw that his palms had almost struck two mounds of flesh and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Hong, I was very rude just now!"

As he spoke, he moved his hand away, his mind filled with doubt.

As a seasoned womanizer, Li Xiuyuan noticed that Hong Xiuying's lower body was tightly closed, and she was still a virgin, yet she was married, and most importantly, she was pregnant.

What exactly is going on?

Hong Xiuying secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "May I ask what's wrong with me, Master? Why is my stomach hurting for no reason?"

As she spoke, a hint of worry appeared on her face, as if she feared she had contracted some terminal illness.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Miss Hong, you're pregnant!"

He channeled his inner energy into Hong Xiuying's body, and he was acutely aware of the changes inside her stomach.

Hong Xiuying said, "She's pregnant!"

As she spoke, her expression changed drastically, as if she couldn't believe it, and she looked completely distraught.

Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "That's right, she is indeed pregnant."
