Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone was greatly alarmed and turned to look at the general leading the group. He shouted, "Fire! I don't believe he can defeat all of us by himself!"

As they spoke, hundreds of men drew their bows and arrows, and a dense rain of arrows poured down.

Chapter 147 Qin Grand Tutor's Mansion

Li Xiuyuan held the Wind Spirit Fan in his hand and fanned it into the air. A sudden gust of wind arose, and the originally impenetrable rain of arrows was blown away. Fortunately, it was under his deliberate control, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died.

"this?"

The general leading the group was dumbfounded upon seeing this scene. Could such astonishing cultivation be something that ordinary people could not match?

The soldiers were greatly surprised, and some even said fearfully, "The holy monk's magical power is so great that we mortals are no match for him."

As they spoke, their eyes held a look of fear.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Very well, if you want me to go to the Grand Tutor's mansion, this humble monk will go with you."

As he spoke, he took a step forward, and the soldiers who had been afraid of him retreated upon seeing this.

Li Xiuyuan went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. He had already made up his mind. This world was not simple. There were many talented people with extraordinary abilities, relying on their cultivation at the Immortal Realm.

I dare not say that he is invincible, but as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, he holds a high position and great power. If he were to unexpectedly find a powerful figure to assist him...

Even Li Xiuyuan would find this extremely troublesome, and in this situation, it would be best to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan wasn't going to back down; he was going to win over everyone in the Qin family so they would have nothing to say.

Even though he had caused Qin Heng such a miserable state, it was all because this guy had designs on his woman. Li Xiuyuan was never a magnanimous person.

As for the Grand Tutor of the Qin family, judging from his character in the original work, he is by no means a very evil person, and is quite reasonable. I think that when the time comes to explain the consequences, I am confident that I can make him kill me.

Ah!

Everyone was greatly surprised to hear this. They knew that Li Xiuyuan was in a strong position at the moment, so why did he agree to go back with them?

At this moment, Guangliang, who was in the distance, was overjoyed when he saw that Daoji was about to be taken away. He laughed and said, "That's right, you're looking for Daoji. Don't cause trouble for the other people in Lingyin Temple."

As he spoke, he waved his hand as if he were a plague god, trying to drive Li Xiuyuan away.

Upon seeing this, Bi Qing smiled wryly and said, "Uncle Daoji, for the safety of our Lingyin Temple, you should go with them!"

After saying that, he buried Daoji without any mercy.

As the saying goes: Better to die for your friend than for yourself!

Bi Qing was no good person. This kind of force had already frightened him quite a bit. Now that he had a chance to get rid of these people, he immediately seized the opportunity.

After listening to their conversation, Li Xiuyuan frowned, turned his head, and looked at them with a cold gaze.

When Guangliang and Biqing saw that cold, piercing gaze, they were both startled and hugged each other.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan shook his head. It was simply impossible for two people to live and die together with others. Sure enough, when it came to the crucial moment, they started to betray their teammates.

Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan had no expectations of the two people, and going to the Grand Tutor's mansion was his own choice.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the panicked soldiers and chuckled, "What, weren't you going to take me back to the Grand Tutor's mansion? Why don't you hurry up and leave?"

As he spoke, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes, and the soldiers who had been listening to him were startled, fearing that he might be using some kind of trick.

Finally, the general spoke up: "In that case, please follow us, Master."

As he spoke, he led the way. After witnessing the other party's abilities, he knew in his heart that no matter what tricks he played, it would be difficult to capture Li Xiuyuan.

Now that Li Xiuyuan is willing to go with them, it can be said that he has fulfilled Grand Tutor Qin's order, and such an outcome could not be better.

As for what Li Xiuyuan will do after arriving at the Grand Tutor's mansion, that's beyond their control.

After all, if they didn't take him back, it would be easy for Li Xiuyuan to find the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan's actions saved them trouble and allowed them to complete their mission.

The group led the way, with Li Xiuyuan following closely behind.

A strange scene unfolded along the way: a large group of soldiers stared at Li Xiuyuan menacingly, seemingly afraid that he would make a move.

With the army leading the way, Li Xiuyuan had no obstacles at all. Even when entering the city, it was easy and he didn't need to be checked or inspected.

With a smile on his face, Li Xiuyuan followed the crowd through the city gate and arrived outside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Above the vermilion gate hung a black plaque made of golden nanmu wood, on which were inscribed two large characters: "Qin Mansion" in a flowing, elegant style.

Led by the general in charge, Li Xiuyuan entered the outer courtyard, which was surrounded by white walls, green willows, three hanging flower gate towers, and covered corridors on all four sides.

The courtyard is connected by pathways, dotted with rocks, and a plaque inscribed with "Yi Hong Kuai Lü" hangs above the five-room porch.

The entire courtyard was magnificent and elegant, with clusters of flowers, exquisite and delicate. The backyard was full of roses and peony trellises, and a pond.

The Qinfang Creek converges here and flows out of the Grand View Garden. A white stone-paved path spans the Qinfang Creek, leading to the other side.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan and the others turned east, passed through an east-west passageway, and went south to the main hall. Inside the ceremonial gate was a large courtyard with five main rooms, side rooms with deer-roofed eaves, and winding passageways, all of which were magnificent and imposing.

Along the way, the servants of the Qin family were terrified when they saw Li Xiuyuan's face; everyone knew what had happened.

Young Master Qin, for some unknown reason, offended a demonic monk, and his hair turned white overnight, and even his skin peeled off.

Now that the general has brought the monk over, it's obvious without even looking that it's that evil monk. Seeing that he's not well-liked, Li Xiuyuan touched his nose and thought to himself, "I haven't felt this way in a long time."

Come to think of it, Li Xiuyuan is known as the Living Buddha Ji Gong. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a living bodhisattva. Once they see him, they wish they could worship him.

Before long, the group arrived at the main hall. The Qin family mansion was a rare sight in the entire city of Lin'an.

The wooden roof with its golden top is painted with a variety of colorful bird patterns.

Chapter 148 Playing Tricks on the Qin Family

The floor was covered with a carpet embroidered with soft, brocade-like fabric, with a few bright red flames occasionally burning.

The two men at the head of the hall, one of whom was a man in his forties, were dressed in a purple straight-cut court robe with a matching gold spider pattern belt around his waist. His black hair was tied up and secured with a crown inlaid with gilded jade.

It is evident that this person held a high position and was quite extraordinary in the secular world.

The other woman was plump and dressed in a gorgeous, delicate silk dress that looked somewhat vulgar, but the fact that she was sitting with a man suggested that her identity was quite clear.

The man sitting high on the grand chair asked, "General Lin, is this the evil monk?"

As he spoke, his tiger-like eyes glared. No matter how incompetent his youngest son was, he was still his own flesh and blood!

Sure enough, upon seeing Li Xiuyuan, he was furious.

General Lin, though unwilling to offend Li Xiuyuan, was an official appointed by the imperial court and naturally had to obey, replying, "That's right."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and lowered his head.

At this moment, the fat woman shouted, "You evil monk, you have caused my son to age overnight! Quickly cure him, or your entire temple will have to pay with your lives!"

As she spoke, her resentful gaze followed.

Why didn't the two of them deal with Li Xiuyuan immediately? It's because he made Qin Heng age prematurely, and there's no one in the entire Lin'an City who can cure this disease.

Therefore, the Qin family had no choice but to wait for Li Xiuyuan to arrive. In their minds, the other party was capable of causing their son's condition to deteriorate, and he was also capable of curing him.

Sure enough, Madam Qin, who was eager to protect her son, immediately spoke up.

After hearing Madam Qin's words, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Madam Qin, if this humble monk is a demonic monk, he will only harm people and not save them."

As he spoke, he cast a mocking glance at the two of them.

Qin Heng is the second young master of the Qin family. He is arrogant and domineering, and he does all sorts of evil. His behavior is undoubtedly related to his parents' discipline.

In the original novel, even though Madam Qin witnessed her son forcibly taking away a young woman named Hong Xiuying, she still allowed her son to take her away after her desperate pleas.

This led to a series of events, and the fact that even his mother indulged him shows how wicked Qin Heng was.

In the original story, Hong Xiuying was just a lucky person. Before her, countless innocent girls were murdered and their grievances were never redressed!

Upon hearing this, Madam Qin glared angrily, but she was powerless to do anything about it, since her youngest son needed the other person's help with his illness!

Seeing his wife's setback, Grand Tutor Qin said in a deep voice, "If you can cure my child's illness, I guarantee that I will forgive and forget your past actions."

As he spoke, he touched his dark beard.

Since force didn't work, they had to resort to softer tactics. Once their son's illness was truly cured, they would have a chance to cause trouble for the other party.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled coldly and said, "What do you mean by 'forgive and forget'? Do you really think this humble monk is afraid?"

As he spoke, he paid no attention to Grand Tutor Qin's threat. Such methods might work on ordinary people, but they might actually be frightened by him.

After all, no one would want to make enemies with Grand Tutor Qin without a reason!

Unfortunately for them, they encountered Li Xiuyuan, who was not afraid at all.

Grand Tutor Qin was a man second only to the emperor in the imperial court. He had never suffered such resentment before. He roared, "You evil monk, stop being so stubborn, or I will make you suffer endless torment!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his beard and glared.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Oh! This humble monk would like to see what the Qin family is capable of."

In the original story, Daoji could easily outwit ordinary people, and now Li Xiuyuan wanted to try his luck.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's attitude, Grand Tutor Qin realized that Li Xiuyuan clearly didn't take him seriously and that it was necessary to teach him a lesson. He called out, "Come on!"

"The end will be here."

Several soldiers walked in, and Grand Tutor Qin shouted, "Shoot them! Pick up your guns and fire hard! I want to see just how tough this evil monk's mouth is!"

As he spoke, he ordered several soldiers to begin their work.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, several soldiers stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand, trying to prevent him from moving and preparing to knock him to the ground.
