I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Zhang Hong said, "You and Xiahou Qingfeng go back to your hometown and rescue a man named Zhuge Wolong from the county jail. After you rescue him, I will make arrangements for you."

"Xiahou, you are responsible for protecting Ning Caichen."

Ning Caichen said anxiously, "I am weak and might have missed something important. I hope that Lord Tianzun can give me one or two magic weapons to protect myself."

Zhang Hong laughed: "You are quite clever. I don't have any magic weapon, but I still say that if you are in danger, just call my name. I will protect you."

"Master Tianzun, the two of us will definitely take care of this matter!"

Xiahou Qingfeng couldn't wait to express his opinion. After paying his respects, he pulled Ning Caichen out.

As he walked, he scolded, "You are such a nagging scholar. You have me, the second best swordsman in the world, to protect you. What do you have to worry about? Go, go, go, don't delay Tianzun's important event."

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Hong called the two of them to a halt, then turned to the tree demon and said, "You must have collected a lot of gold and silver treasures over the years, right?"

A moment later, Ning Caichen and Xiahou Qingfeng, with smiles on their faces, set off with the hundreds of taels of silver contributed by the tree demon.

Seeing that everyone else had a task, the tree demon lowered his head and said flatteringly, "Master Tianzun, I also want to help. Please give me a chance to redeem myself."

Zhang Hong stroked his nonexistent beard, thought for a moment, and said, “Call all your men out, I want to see how many men you have.”

The tree demon immediately called out all the ghosts in Lanruo Temple, and deliberately placed a few beautiful female ghosts in the front row.

Leading the group was a stunningly beautiful female ghost, none other than Nie Xiaoqian.

In addition, there are three beauties who are less beautiful but also rare and pretty.

Seeing that the situation was different from that in the movie, Zhang Hong was thoughtful.

[It seems that I cannot completely judge the situation in this world according to the standards in the movie...]

Lanruo Temple is a large area covering dozens of miles, so it is naturally impossible for it to rely on only Nie Xiaoqian, a female ghost, to "run the business".

In addition to the four top female ghosts, the tree demon has a dozen or so beautiful female ghosts who are responsible for seducing people's yang energy. In addition, there are thirty or forty ugly ghosts and monsters who serve as slaves to the tree demon and her "daughters".

"What are your names?"

Zhang Hong took a look at the four top stars of Lanruo Temple.

The four female ghosts are all plump and thin, each with her own unique charm.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Lord, my name is Nie Xiaoqian."

"My name is Xiaodie."

"My name is Xiaolan."

"My name is Xiaoyu."

Zhang Hong took a look at the four women. They all seemed well-educated, well-behaved and sensible.

Upon asking, I found out that they were all local ladies from Guobei County. They died in accidents and were buried in a mass grave. Their souls were captured and controlled by a tree demon.

"I happen to be in need of a few maids. The four of you will stay by my side from now on and do things for me."

Zhang Hong thought about it and felt that it would be a waste for these four female ghosts to stay with the tree demon, so he simply came to work for him.

"Thank you Tianzun!"

The four female ghosts were so happy that they almost cried and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

At this time, Nie Xiaoqian stepped forward and kowtowed heavily.

"Lord Tianzun, please save my life! I don't want to marry the Black Mountain Demon!"

Zhang Hong turned around and glared at the tree demon, who knelt down hurriedly and explained, "Please forgive me, Lord! It was because of that Black Mountain demon that I had no choice but to marry Xiaoqian to him."

"I treat them like my own daughters. How could I bear to harm them? I know I was wrong. I beg for forgiveness, Lord!"

Haha, if I hadn’t seen the movie, I would have been fooled by you.

Zhang Hong did not expose the tree demon's lies, but warned: "I will not bother with you about what happened before. From now on, if you dare to do these dirty things again, I will not let you off easily!"

"Thank you, Lord, for your magnanimity! I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new demon!"

After teaching the tree demon a lesson, Zhang Hong said to Nie Xiaoqian, "I already know about the Black Mountain Demon. Just follow me. I will take care of this demon myself."

"Thank you, Lord Tianzun!"

Nie Xiaoqian happily wiped the tears from her face and showed a sweet smile.

Zhang Hong promised the four female ghosts: "You will serve me first. When you have done your best, I will send you to reincarnate and live a prosperous life. Or if you don't want to reincarnate and want to become a ghost fairy, that's fine too."

The four female ghosts stated on the spot that they did not want to reincarnate and only wanted to follow the Heavenly Lord.

They are not stupid at all. It is obvious that they have a better future following Tianzun. Only fools would choose to reincarnate.

Zhang Hong asked the tree demon some private questions again.

For example, what was the situation of Lanruo Temple back then and why it was abandoned.

The result left him speechless. The destruction of Lanruo Temple was not caused by demons, but because it offended the government and was banned by the government.

It is really speechless that a group of virtuous monks were controlled by mortals.

Zhang Hong still had one thing he was puzzled about. How come this tree demon became a spirit in Lanruo Temple, but didn't he get some Buddhist knowledge and become a good demon?

The result was even more speechless.

The tree demon was indeed influenced by Buddhism, but it took Buddhist theories out of context and distorted them.

The tree demon thought that he had set up a trap to kill people with bad intentions, which was really a good deed. Not only did he not have karma, but he also had merits. At the same time, he also used the essence, blood and yang energy of these "bad guys" to improve his cultivation, killing two birds with one stone.

In addition, according to the tree demon's logic, although it controlled Nie Xiaoqian and the others, it also protected them and shared its yang energy with them to help them maintain their souls. Isn't it natural for them to do something to repay it?

After listening to the tree demon's weird talk, Zhang Hong was speechless.

I can only say that this monster transformed from a tree is really stupid. Is it because trees don’t have brains?

"Ridiculous! Lan Huairuo, you have gone astray. If you continue like this for a hundred years, you will be punished by heaven and your soul will be shattered."

The tree demon was so frightened that his face turned ugly. He immediately knelt down and begged: "I know I was wrong! Please show me a way to save my life."

"I have my own arrangements, just follow my orders."

"I obey my orders!"

In order to prevent the tree demon from doing nothing, Zhang Hong thought about it and assigned it a task.

Let it gather nearby demons and monsters, and gather intelligence on demon forces in various parts of Kyushu.

The tree demon happily accepted the order and took a few ghosts with him to do the job personally.

Zhang Hong stayed in Lanruo Temple to take charge. Three days later would be the day when the Black Mountain Old Demon would kidnap the bride. He was afraid of unexpected events and did not dare to move around.

Xiaoqian, Xiaodie, Xiaolan and Xiaoyu, four beautiful female ghosts served him, poured tea and water, played the piano and flute, and were always by his side.

Zhang Hong used his super hearing to silently pay attention to the movements of Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen and the tree demon.

He himself stayed in Lanruo Temple, reading ancient books.

These ancient books were specially collected by the tree demon over thousands of years, and they contain the theories of hundreds of schools of thought and the secret methods of cultivation from all walks of life.

Zhang Hong planned to study carefully whether he could become an immortal.
