Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 107: The monk’s mentality collapsed, so you shot him?

The gods fight, and the common people suffer.

The merchants who were hiding not far away, seeing that the cave was about to collapse, could not help but stumble and run away.

When they saw the golden light in the distance, the merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly not far away, not daring to get closer or farther away despite the heavy rain.

Jin Guang was the Zen monk just now, whose Buddhist name was Yuankong.

As Yuan Ji's senior brother, Yuan Kong has a completely different style of doing things from Yuan Ji. He does not advocate educating the world, but rather advocates speaking with fists.

It was a rare occasion to see a monster today, so he immediately became interested. He could obviously choose to join forces with his fellow Taoist, but he decisively refused and wanted to test whether his fists were hard.

Unfortunately, the Buddhist cultivator focused on physical defense, and his attack methods were not that strong. Even though he worked hard to cultivate strength, he did not seem to make any breakthroughs.

Because of this, the monk was quite distressed.

The tiger was very strong and its attack methods were quite fancy, so even though they were in the same realm, he couldn't think of how to kill the tiger demon for a moment and was injured instead.

Alas, the monk, at this time the best option would be to run away and seek help, but he had fellow Taoists in the cave and merchants in front of him, he could not really ignore them.

"It would be great if I were a bad monk. At this time, the best option is to let my friends die rather than myself."

The monk sat cross-legged in meditation, healing his wounds quickly. In his heart he was constantly grateful for his own great love, yet at the same time he felt a little regretful.

What face do I need... I should have called on my fellow Taoists to besiege the tiger monster earlier. Maybe the tiger monster would have been killed and I wouldn't have to get hurt. Now, only the fellow Taoist in the middle stage of the Fading Mortal Realm is left to deliver food to the tiger monster.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out in the cave.

"This light..." Monk Yuankong subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Suddenly, a bloody light appeared in the cave that was about to collapse. A long spear rushed out of the cave, instantly disturbing the mist and rain outside. Lightning flashed around the spear, and the spear turned in the sky, and then plunged into the cave with lightning speed.

"Rumble—"

The cave collapsed completely, and the tiger roared and leaped into the sky. Before it landed, the spear came whistling and instantly pierced into the tiger monster's mouth.

Yuan Kong glanced out of the corner of his eye and watched the tiger demon being interrupted to death.

The remaining power of the spear spread like waves, turning the escaping little demon into ashes.

And the fellow Taoist who was only in the middle stage of the Dehumanization Realm walked out step by step with a spear on his back.

Yuan Kong rubbed his eyes.

I read it right... The man coming here with a gun on his back is indeed the Taoist friend who is in the middle stage of the Dehumanization Realm. How could this Taoist friend actually kill the tiger monster with one move?

Yuan Kong felt that his mentality was a little broken.

You killed the tiger demon that I couldn't kill with my guns? You are clearly in the middle stage of the Dehumanization Stage.

"This is impossible..." Yuan Kong felt that he could not accept it, but as he watched the young man approach step by step, Yuan Kong suddenly realized a very important problem.

He then realized that he could not see through this fellow Taoist's profession and could only see that the other party's realm was the middle stage of the Dehumanization Realm.

Who could have imagined that the power of the opponent's gun could break the sky.

Yuan Kong felt that he was shocked… Although as a monk, being emotionally shocked was a very unstable thing, he was still shocked.

This gun... is too hard, too long and too powerful... I'm a little envious and a little want it.

Yuan Kong was shocked and excited for a long while, then he stood up and asked: "I am Yuan Kong from the Chanyi Sect, thank you for your help!"

"Demon Suppression Division, Lu Zhan." Lu Zhan approached, returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I accidentally stole your monster."

These words made Monk Yuankong even more embarrassed.

He had vowed to let Lu Zhan escape, but he didn't know that the other party was so powerful. This was really embarrassing. Yuan Kong was a little embarrassed, but he raised his head belatedly.

His name is Lu Zhan... No... Monk Yuankong suddenly widened his eyes: "You are Lu Zhan... You are Night Doctor?!"

"It's me." Lu Zhan greeted, "So you are from the Chan Yi Sect. No wonder you have such a broad-minded and kind heart."

Monk Yuankong's mouth twitched for a long while before he said hesitantly, "So you are Lu Zhan. No wonder you were able to kill the tiger with one shot."

What you said is a bit weird. What do you mean by stabbing to death... Lu Zhan complained in his heart, and then he saw the monk's appearance clearly. When he was in the cave, he was dazzled by his bald head and did not look at him carefully.

Only now did I realize that this monk was tall and sturdy, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a bulbous nose and wide lips. Even his monk's robe could not hide his muscular body... What a mighty and majestic Lu Zhishen.

At this moment... Lu Zhishen looked at Lu Zhan with eyes full of awe.

This kid must not be provoked!

Lu Zhan exchanged a few pleasantries with him, then looked at the merchants behind him and said, "I still have things to do. If it is convenient, please ask Daoist Yuankong to escort them down the mountain."

"Of course, please rest assured, fellow Taoist. I came down the mountain for the purpose of gaining experience. If I encounter such a thing, I will naturally help it to the end." Yuan Kong said with a smile.

Lu Zhan nodded and said goodbye to him.

This night's trip was indeed worthwhile. My soul, which was listless due to hunger just now, has now become full of energy. Twenty or thirty little demons and their minions together are considered a full meal.

Add to that the tiger demon at the peak of the Incarnation Realm and that strange bead, this wave of profits was huge.

Lu Zhan was very satisfied, and even felt that his own soul was filled with holy light at this moment.

This may be a common phenomenon after eating... Once you are full, even the most delicious food will become tasteless.

Lu Zhan called it the sage moment of the soul.

Unfortunately, the little demon was weak and was torn to pieces by that shot.

However, the tiger demon's body is intact... This is a good thing, and can be used to make many good pills.

For example, the common tiger whip pill...tiger power pill and so on.

...

After Yufeng returned to Huaihua Village, Liu Jishan was in a trance in front of the door. When he saw Lu Zhan coming back, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, Feicui would still be suffering over there..."

Feicui has come back and said goodbye to Liu Jishan, and Liu Jishan knows about Feicui's experience.

Lu Zhan said: "This is the responsibility of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Now that the Zhao family has been brought to justice, the tiger demon and its minions have been killed. Feicui can rest in peace, and you can start a new life."

Liu Jishan burst into tears and kept thanking him.

Lu Zhan did not stay for long and rode away on his donkey. He came here specially just to tell Liu Jishan that the case was completely solved.

It was raining heavily and the wind was howling. The figure of the young man riding the donkey gradually became smaller in the rain, like an ink-stained landscape painting.

When they reached the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, Lu Zhan noticed two familiar figures sitting in front of the stone table under the tree.

Two figures sat under the tree in the heavy rain, with a faint white light emanating from their bodies. Ordinary people could not see this scene, but cultivators could see through it at a glance.

These two are actually the locust tree spirit and the jadeite.

Seeing Lu Zhan coming on his donkey, the old locust tree and the jadeite stood up at the same time and bowed, "Sir."

Lu Zhan did not dismount, but simply said: "It seems that Feicui has made her choice."

Feicui bowed, knelt on the ground again, and said: "Thank you for saving me, sir, but I have become a ghost and can no longer rest in peace. Please allow me to practice with Elder Huai. When I have learned something, I will benefit the people and repay your kindness."

"After she said goodbye to her father, she originally wanted to commit suicide... Seeing her like that, I couldn't bear it, so I stopped her." The old locust tree sighed.

In this world, once you become a ghost, it will be difficult to rest in peace unless you are "redeemed" by someone.

Jade didn't want to wander the human world as a wandering ghost, so she wanted to save herself.

The old locust tree had always felt that Feicui was intelligent, and couldn't bear to see her behave like this, so he appeared and rescued her. He also told her many things about ghost cultivation, which rekindled Feicui's hope.

Lu Zhan said: "Ghost cultivation is quite difficult, have you thought about it?"

Ghost cultivators are completely different from ghosts. Ghosts rely on killing to gain resentment to strengthen themselves, while ghost cultivators are just like ordinary cultivators and monsters, practicing little by little, but the path of ghost cultivators is more difficult and dangerous.

"Jade has made up my mind, please help me, sir." Jade kowtowed to the ground.

Lu Zhan thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then follow me back to the Demon Suppression Division. After you put up a sign in the Demon Suppression Division, you will be a proper ghost cultivator. As long as you don't commit any crimes, the Demon Suppression Division won't arrest you."

"Sir...Sir, are you willing to naturalize her?" The old locust tree was a little surprised.

When a monster is naturalized, it will have a file in the Monster Suppression Bureau. Monsters with files can live in the city without being restricted as long as they do not disturb normal people.

That being said, there are only a few monsters throughout history that have been able to successfully become naturalized citizens.

Most monsters don't dare to approach the Monster Suppression Bureau, let alone register there.

Secondly, when many demon-suppressing masters or disciples of immortal sects discover monsters, they will not waste time identifying them. They will just kill them with one sword. Even if they don't kill them, they are too lazy to spend more time on such things.

Perhaps because he is a time traveler, Lu Zhan does not like to kill demons on sight. Even if his soul is crying out for food, he will still abide by the most basic principles. He will kill the harmful demons with a single blow, but he will also spare the good demons.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhan drew a circle in the air with his hands. The circle sank into the forehead of the old locust tree. He said, "This is my mark. When you can move freely one day, you can go to the Demon Suppression Bureau to register."

"Thank you, sir!" The old locust tree was very excited. If he could leave his main body too far away now, he would have wanted to go and hang up the sign right now.

The evil demons who have committed many evil deeds do not like the Demon Suppression Bureau, but the good demons who really do good things still hope that they can have a normal identity.

Lu Zhan raised his hand slightly, signaling the old locust tree to stand up, and then said: "Fei Cui, follow me now. I hope that after the listing, you can be kind-hearted and practice well. If you can rebuild your physical body one day, it will be a fate."

Having said that, rebuilding the physical body is extremely difficult for a ghost cultivator, so Lu Zhan was just encouraging him.

Just drawing cakes and making promises... a common practice among bureaucrats.

And the listing is not as simple as imagined. One needs to leave a trace of soul when becoming a citizen.

This wisp of soul is to prevent the monsters that will be listed in the future from causing disasters.

With this wisp of soul, the Demon Suppression Bureau can kill the monster with a thought.

For the monsters with signs on their heads, it is like a sword hanging over their heads, preventing them from doing bad things.

It is not complicated to put up a plaque for a ghost. After registering it in the case room at dawn, a colleague in charge of the ghost's hometown will bring the jade to put up the plaque.

Lu Zhan didn't have to worry about these things. He went to his own quiet room to meditate and observe the condition of his soul.

The Yuanshen was refining the soul of the tiger monster, and the memories of the tiger monster flooded into Lu Zhan's mind.

……

It is difficult for monsters in the world to practice cultivation. It takes hundreds of years for each monster to achieve some success.

However, many monsters can survive hundreds of years of hard training, but they cannot survive the hustle and bustle of the world.

Similar to the growth path of other monsters, the tiger monster lived in deep mountains and old forests with abundant spiritual energy. Thanks to the nourishment of spiritual energy, it lived for hundreds of years. When it was one hundred years old, it awakened its spiritual intelligence.

Relying on the monster's instinct to admire humans, the tiger monster practiced hard, determined to transform into a human form.

It is not easy to cultivate into a human form. If it is not a demon at a high level, even after transforming, it will not be able to maintain its human form for long.

In order to pursue this dream, the tiger demon practiced hard in the deep mountains and old forests for hundreds of years, before he made some achievements and officially embarked on the road of cultivation.

If I had continued to practice diligently, perhaps I would have achieved something in the future, but everything changed five years ago.

Five years ago, a group of merchants from the Western Regions passed by the old forest where the tiger demon was practicing. The tiger demon had never seen so many people and couldn't help feeling curious.

It chooses to observe humans in secret and learn from their every move.

But later the caravan was attacked by other wild beasts. When the tiger demon smelled the unique bloody smell of humans, he could no longer resist the temptation.

That was the first time it ate a human, and it was after eating a human that it found that its strength seemed to have become stronger.

Compared to the endless hard training, eating humans seems to be faster.

The tiger demon felt that he had discovered a new path. He left the cave where he had lived for hundreds of years and came into the world of mortals.

A year ago, he occupied Purple Gold Mountain and found a blood bead in a cave. The blood bead could help him improve his power, which made him quickly become a "little demon king" and gathered many little demons to serve him.

However, the little demon's realm is low, and he is lacking in both catching people and intelligence.

The tiger demon studied hard and realized the unique talent of the tiger clan, which is to refine ghosts and use them to help him harm the human race.

However, the tiger demon was very cautious. Each time he harmed people in a different place and the frequency of harming people was not high, so no one noticed anything unusual.

Until that day when the sun was shining brightly, the tiger demon was basking in the flowers. From afar, he heard a silver bell-like laughter coming with the wind. The owner of the laughter was a beautiful girl in green.

The girl was Feicui. Feicui's lively personality attracted the tiger demon's attention. From then on, he would wait there every time. As long as Feicui came, he would hide in the dark and observe.

This was the beginning of the jade tragedy.

Later, Zhao Muyu went to Zijin Mountain for a trip and met Feicui who was collecting herbs. He fell in love with her at first sight. He went home and begged his father to make the decision so that he could go to the Liu family to propose marriage.

After being rejected by the Liu family, Zhao Muyu was unwilling to accept the result and waited at the road where Jade must pass to collect herbs to question her.

This scene was seen by the tiger demon. After Feicui left, the tiger demon killed Zhao Muyu and refined him into a ghost.

After that, things turned tragic.

"I can endure hundreds of years of hardship in cultivation, but I can't resist temptation." Lu Zhan sighed. It is not easy for the demon race to cultivate. It is a pity that many demons do not know how to cherish their achievements after they have achieved success, and end up being reduced to ashes.

At this moment, the tiger demon's talent emerged in Lu Zhan's mind: the method of refining ghosts.
