I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

“My master once taught me that the more the enemy wants you to do something, the less you should do it.” Bai Ling shook her head and resolutely refused.

Qin Yao chuckled: "What did that black wolf spirit say to you that made you consider me an enemy again?"

Bai Ling: "..."

"Let me guess, does it mean that humans and demons are different, and that good and evil are opposites?"

No, if that were all, you wouldn't have come with him to fight me.

The point that might persuade you is probably Chen Liang.

"Could it be that he mistook me for Jin Chanzi and told you that my flesh could make Chen Liang transcend the mortal realm and become an immortal?" Qin Yao gently shook his palm-leaf fan and slowly spoke.

Bai Ling felt a chill in her heart.

This monk is so intelligent it's almost demonic!

"Judging from your expression, I think I'm pretty close to the truth." Qin Yao gazed at her face and suddenly chuckled, "Are you scared?"

Bai Ling replied instinctively, "No, what am I afraid of?"

"It's good that you're not afraid. From now on, you'll stay by my side, so you won't be led astray by your senior brother or even your master." Qin Yao nodded slightly.

Bai Ling: "..."

After a moment of silence, she took a breath and forced a smile, saying, "I am a female demon, and you are a monk. It's not right for us to be together day and night, is it?"

“What you said makes some sense. If outsiders see this, they will inevitably gossip,” Qin Yao replied.

Bai Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Then let's part ways here. I, Bai Ling, promise that I will never bother you again."

"You've misunderstood. I didn't say I was going to let you go." Qin Yao waved his hand, then waved his palm-leaf fan, fanning the other person three times.

As three beams of immortal light surged into Bai Ling's body, the graceful woman quickly transformed into a white fox, who frantically jumped and spun around on the ground, crying out, "How could this happen? What did you do to me?"

"The three beams of immortal light: one will restore you to your original form, one will seal your magical power, and the last one will impose a restriction."

Under this restriction, if you are more than three miles away from me, you will suffer excruciating pain.

"If you try to leave by force, you will surely die," Qin Yao said quietly.

Bai Ling was shocked and said in a panic, "How could you do this? Didn't you want to take me as your disciple and guide me back to the righteous path?"

“Yes, that’s why I let you go last time. But reality has shown that you’re too easily swayed and easily misled by bad people. So, keeping you by my side is actually a way to protect you,” Qin Yao explained.

Bai Ling: "..."

"Let's go, it's getting late; if we delay any longer, the gates of Lingyin Temple will be closing." Qin Yao smiled and turned around to say.

at the same time.

A ball of black light dragged the black wolf spirit Black Wind, quickly landing inside a cave, until they reached a huge skull inside.

The black light dissipated, and Hei Feng knelt down, kowtowing heavily: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"

As soon as the words were spoken, flames suddenly burst forth from within the skull, followed by a chilling question: "How did you offend that Dragon Subduer?"

Black Wind said, "It's not that I want to provoke him, it's that he has feelings for Junior Sister Bai Ling."

Left with no other choice, I could only provoke my junior sister's killing intent and join forces with her to try and kill the reincarnation of Jianglong.

Unexpectedly, he was so powerful in this life that I was like a clay chicken or a clay dog ​​before him, utterly vulnerable.

"Could this be destiny?" the Master of Qiankun Cave murmured.

Hei Feng kowtowed heavily, pleading, "Master, Bai Ling has been captured by that monk. Please use your supernatural powers to rescue her as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm worried that if this goes on for too long, he will forcibly convert Bai Ling."

The master of Qiankun Cave said coldly, "I am your master, not a servant who cleans up your messes."

The reincarnation of the Dragon Slayer is under the scrutiny of too many eyes. If I were to appear before him so easily, it would be tantamount to deliberately exposing myself to all the gods and Buddhas. Do you know what the consequences would be?

Hei Feng stiffened and stammered, "This disciple knows that this request is excessive, but the problem is... we can't just not save Junior Sister Bai Ling, can we?"

The Lord of Qiankun Cave remained silent for a long time, then tossed out a small wooden tube and said coldly:
"This wooden tube contains the most yin and evil water in the world. Even a Great Immortal would suffer a horrific fate if he drank it, as his intestines would rupture and his body would be rotten. If you can find a way to get Jianglong to drink this demonic water, you will have a chance to rescue Bailing."

Black Wind silently gripped the small wooden tube, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Master."

The next morning.

Lingyin Mountain, Lingyin Temple.

Qin Yao forcibly woke the little white fox sleeping on the futon, and slowly led her out of the Zen temple and into the mortal world.

Halfway there, the little white fox kept yawning, and tears gradually filled its eyes, making it look rather pitiful.

"Hey, monk, I can't walk anymore, can you carry me?"

After clearing his tears by blinking repeatedly, the lazy little white fox, who didn't want to move, shouted loudly.

Qin Yao shook his head: "What are you thinking? I'm already being nice by not riding you, and you still want to ride me?"

The little white fox said, "Isn't this because I'm going to take care of your business? It's not like I'm going out."

"That won't do either, hurry up and catch up." Qin Yao said, suddenly accelerating.

"This will kill the fox..."

The little white fox looked bitter, but had no choice but to force itself to chase after them. However, as it chased, it saw that the other party had stopped in front of a group of woodcutters.

The woodcutters hadn't discovered the human and the demon, and were still complaining that there were no trees to cut down, and that if things continued like this, they wouldn't be able to afford food.

After listening for a while, the little white fox suddenly shrank considerably and climbed onto Qin Yao's body like a hamster, standing on his right shoulder and asking, "Why are they complaining that there are no trees to cut down when there are trees all over the mountains?"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Of course it's because these trees don't belong to them. They can't just cut down other people's trees, can they?"

In the original story, after hearing these complaints, Daoji felt empathy and went to chop down the trees with an axe. There he met the owner of the trees, Qian Yuanwai, and teased him.

However, Qin Yao's view differed from Dao Ji's. Since the trees belonged to others, it was a favor to let these woodcutters cut firewood to make a living, and it was their right not to let them cut them.

Forcing Master Qian to donate money and do good deeds shows a skewed mindset from the very beginning...

"But don't you think they're pitiful?" Bai Ling couldn't understand his thoughts and asked immediately.

"They have hands and feet, can't they survive without cutting down other people's trees?"

Qin Yao slowly said, "That's not the case. They're just used to taking advantage of others."

Therefore, they feel unbalanced when there are no advantages to be gained.

So much so that instead of using this time to find other work, they all end up staying here complaining.

Bai Ling: "..."

Looking at the thoughtful little fox on his shoulder, Qin Yao continued, "Since you have taken human form and want to integrate into the human world, you should adapt to the rules of the human world. The most important thing is that you must have your own judgment in everything you do."

Bai Ling suddenly became alert and said, "Why do I feel like you're trying to tame me?"

"The word is wrong. It should be 'education,' not 'taming.'" Qin Yao said, "If you can correct your ways, then that will be my merit."

Bai Ling: "..."

For the next day, she followed the monk as he wandered aimlessly through the city, or rather, wherever he felt like it, that's where the path led.

However, despite appearing to be in a hurry, they didn't actually accomplish anything worthwhile.

"Monk, don't you find it boring?" As dusk fell, the man and the demon, having gained nothing, embarked on their journey home, and Bai Ling suddenly asked.

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "I feel very comfortable."

Bai Ling was speechless.

What kind of life did this monk lead before, to have such a state of mind? "Something's not right." As he walked, Qin Yao suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling asked, puzzled.

Qin Yao suddenly turned around, raised his hand and pointed to the bushes: "Hey, you rabbit, come out."

At his shout, the little white rabbit hiding in the grass felt a jolt in its heart and immediately lowered its head, pretending to be dead.

Qin Yao snorted coldly, summoned a ball of flame with a flick of his hand, and said softly, "If you don't come out, I'll just burn the rabbit."

Seeing the terrifying flame, the rabbit suddenly leaped out of the bushes, looking at them with a blank and adorable expression.

"Stop pretending and tell the truth, why are you following us?" Qin Yao said calmly.

Of course he knew who this rabbit demon was.

Not only did he know, he also clearly understood that this was also an object of Ji Gong's salvation, representing a divinely ordained merit.

Otherwise, he wouldn't bother saying anything more to a rabbit...

"I'm not following you, I'm following my senior sister." The little white rabbit transformed into a charming and adorable young girl, pointed at the little white fox, and said, "She is my senior sister."

The little white fox nodded: "That's right, she is my junior sister, Bai Xue."

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow: "Bai Xue, do you need to see Bai Ling?"

"No, I'm just wondering what she's doing," Bai Xue replied.

"She's slowly getting better with me," Qin Yao said with a smile. "Do you want to get better too?"

Bai Xue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I want to."

Bai Ling: "..."

That silly rabbit!

What are you thinking!

"Snow White!" To avoid having to help count the money after the rabbit was sold, she suddenly shouted.

Bai Xue blinked and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

"Go back and tell my senior brother that I'm fine, and tell him not to do anything foolish," Bai Ling said.

Bai Xue: "..."

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Bai Ling shouted.

Urged on by her, Snow White quickly transformed back into her rabbit form and soon hopped away from the spot.

Qin Yao smiled silently and said, "Don't worry, I won't use the same method I used on you to control her as well."

In terms of character design alone, Bai Xue is much kinder than Bai Ling, and she is not as radical in her actions.

Specifically, if he doesn't control Bai Ling, then this fox spirit really dares to burn down the Great Stele Tower; but even if he doesn't care about Bai Xue, Bai Xue wouldn't do such a thing.

half an hour.

Bai Xue rushed to a cave, transformed back into human form, and called out loudly, "Senior Brother, I'm back."

Inside the cave, Hei Feng slowly finished his cultivation, stood up, and asked, "Junior Sister, how was it?"

Bai Xue walked up to him step by step and said, "I've been following him all day and I haven't seen that monk eat a single bite of food or drink a single drop of water. It's as if he's fasting."

Black Wind: "..."

Fasting?

This is trouble!
"By the way, senior brother, Senior Sister Bai Ling asked me to tell you that she's doing well and that you shouldn't do anything foolish." While he was still in a daze, Bai Xue spoke again.

Black Wind's expression changed drastically: "You've been discovered?"

“Yes, that monk had such keen insight that he even knew I had been following him for a day,” Bai Xue said.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Hei Feng's heart. He really didn't know how to feed the Netherworld Water into the other party's mouth under such circumstances.

"Why do you look so worried, Senior Brother?" Bai Xue asked.

Black Wind waved his hand: "It's alright, you can go out first, I need to be alone for a while."

Bai Xue blinked, but didn't say much, and quickly walked out of the cave.

After watching her leave, Black Wind grew increasingly melancholy, and even felt a strong urge to get drunk...

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Yes.

Sorrow makes one want to get drunk. If I just make Daoji feel sorrowful, wouldn't that be enough to arouse his thirst for alcohol?

Following this direction, he pondered deeply for a long time, and finally gradually came up with a comprehensive plan...

The next day.

Black Wind rode the clouds to the sky above Lingyin Temple. After confirming that the monk Daojina had left, he summoned a fire gourd with a flick of his hand, opened the gourd stopper towards the tallest building in Lingyin Temple, and released raging flames.

Inside Lingyin Temple.

As the abbot Guangliang was leading most of his fellow disciples in exercises, he suddenly saw a stream of fire fall from the sky and crash heavily onto the top of the Great Stele Tower. His eyes widened in shock, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Master Abbot, what's wrong?" asked the young monk Biqing, who was directly opposite him.

Guangliang pointed at the large stele tower, filled with fear and trepidation, but he couldn't utter a word.

The monks looked in the direction he was pointing, and the moment they turned around, they saw the Great Stele Tower burning fiercely.

"Daoji, this is your retribution."

As the monks stared in disbelief, the black wind on the clouds let out a loud shout and immediately fled.

He knew very well that, given that the monks did not know who had set the building on fire, this one sentence was enough to make them blame Daoji.

In this situation, how could Daoji not be worried or even heartbroken when faced with the condemnation of everyone and the questioning of his fellow disciples?

If he then wants to get drunk, wouldn't that be my chance?

Within the city of Hangzhou.

Qin Yao, who was walking through the streets and alleys, suddenly stopped, did some quick calculations, and his expression changed slightly: "Oh no."

Beside her right foot, Bai Ling tilted her head and asked, "What good news? Why don't you tell me so I can be happy?"

Qin Yao had no intention of wasting words with her. With a wave of his hand, he put her into his sleeve and his body disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Shortly after.

When he entered Lingyin Temple, he found that the entire stele building had been burned down. A group of monks sat cross-legged in front of the ruins, constantly striking wooden fish and chanting scriptures, as if they were trying to pray for the stele building's salvation.

"Daoji, you actually dare to come back!" At this moment, Guangliang caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, suddenly stood up, and shouted sharply.

The sounds of the wooden fish and chanting ceased, and everyone turned to look.

Qin Yao remained calm and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"

Guangliang shouted, "Fire descended from the sky and burned down the Great Stele Tower!" At the same time, a voice echoed in the void, saying it was your retribution.

Therefore, even if that fire wasn't divine punishment, it was a calamity you brought upon yourself. You can't deny that, can you? (End of Chapter)
