The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

"Whether he's a demon-devourer or not, we can't let him succeed!"

Ning Jinrou narrowed her eyes slightly and said.

I touched my chin, my brows furrowed.

Although Ning Jinrou is Qin Sanye's apprentice, after these few days of getting to know her, I've discovered that this girl has completely inherited all of Qin Sanye's talisman attack techniques, but she's only half-baked at the others.

As for me, I grew up in a dilapidated Taoist temple and was a complete theoretical master. I only had the opportunity to get hands-on experience when Ning Jinrou, a half-baked amateur, took me to take on private jobs.

For people like us to see this bizarre scene, it would be a miracle if we could do anything about it.

Just as Ning Jinrou and I were staring at each other, she suddenly patted my shoulder and pointed at the corpse of Monk Shanjie: "Why don't you absorb all this malevolent energy?"

When I heard this, my eyes widened in surprise.

Wow, this girl is really smart.

They actually want me to inhale all this malevolent energy!

So, my life isn't hers, and whether I live or die doesn't matter, right?

I was so moved that I burst into tears.

It is true that the Ghost-Slaying Path relies on absorbing malevolent energy to transform it into ghost energy.

However, I can't absorb all the malevolent energy directly.

It was like the malevolent aura emanating from the corpse of the monk Shanjie; to this day, I still don't know where it came from.

Absorbing it rashly will not only fail to transform the ghost energy, but will also cause irreversible damage to myself.

After the incident involving the female ghost Qi Fang.

I have a deep understanding of the core principle of how malevolent energy transforms into ghostly energy.

Although evil spirits are cruel, they were also pitiful people in their previous lives.

All hostility stems from obsession.

Obsessions are born from negative emotions such as extreme injustice, extreme resentment, and extreme unwillingness to accept defeat.

I want to absorb the malevolent energy and transform it into ghost energy, but the prerequisite is that I need to know the source of this malevolent energy.

In other words, I need to quell the evil spirit's obsession in order to successfully absorb it.

It sounds like a tongue twister.

Some people might think that I, a demon slayer, am also trying to appease obsessions, that I have to have my cake and eat it too.

That's right, this is the Path of Slaughtering Ghosts.

I kill evil spirits because they harm people, and I intervene to stop them and maintain the order of Yin and Yang.

I quell the obsessions of evil spirits because I follow my heart. No matter what kind of obsession it is, as long as it does not violate the laws of heaven, I will try my best to quell it.

After all, evil spirits are pitiful beings, and helping them resolve their problems is a way to accumulate merit for oneself.

Some might say, "You've already killed them, why bother with your obsession? Why act like a saint?"

So all I have to say is this: buddy, use your brain! We living people believe in repaying a life with a life. If you think like this, then your values ​​are warped, so don't read any further.

The principle lies in the rules. You cannot ignore the rules and cross the line just because you feel sorry for someone. This is the bottom line.

Doing things as you please is carefree and enjoyable, but everyone who does it ends up being struck by lightning.

Humans have their own way of life, and ghosts have their own path of death; when a person dies, their light goes out, and they do not interfere with each other.

Everything I did was to please myself, to appease the evil spirit's obsession as much as possible, and to let it leave in peace.

In conclusion, I dare not attempt this before I understand the source of the malevolent aura emanating from Monk Shanjie.

Ning Jinrou saw that I was hesitant.

Helplessly, she pulled out a [Thunder Talisman].

As lightning flowed across the [Thunder Talisman].

I was completely dumbfounded.

What are you doing?

I asked curiously.

"Grandma, I can see you're dawdling. You just want to avoid any conditions, right? Get out of the way, and I'll create some for you!"

After saying that, Ning Jinrou's [Thunder Talisman] landed on the corpse of the monk Shanjie.

This [Thunder Talisman] is indeed quite powerful.

The body of the monk Shanjie was instantly blown to pieces.

I was absolutely stunned.

As mentioned before, after a person dies, their three souls and seven spirits are locked inside their body.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it will take at least seven days for the seven souls to dissipate.

And this "unsurprisingly" refers to the case where the body is unharmed.

Currently, the body of the monk Shanjie has been blown to pieces.

His seven souls will dissipate rapidly along with the broken corpse.

The three souls will also leave the body prematurely.

In other words, Ning Jinrou's explosion turned the monk Shanjie into a ghost ahead of time!

Ning Jinrou is indeed Ning Jinrou; she always does things in a simple and direct way!

She blew up the body of the monk Shanjie.

A sudden, eerie wind swept through the entire hall.

All the candles swayed in the wind.

Gradually, the black energy began to gather, and a human figure condensed into it.

That was the soul of the monk Shanjie.

The monk Shanjie at this moment is completely different from the one he was in life.

He was wearing a black training uniform.

The hollow eye sockets have returned to normal.

However, those eyes still had those disgusting double pupils.

His face was deathly pale, and a dark line ran around his eye socket all the way to his temple.

The eerie, blood-red runes were particularly conspicuous in the center of his forehead.

This rune is exactly the same as the ones carved on the candles.

The monk Shanjie grinned maliciously.

"I really need to thank you all!"

His voice was cold and hollow.

His aura of malevolence was constantly churning.

Ning Jinrou held the Thunder Talisman in her hand and looked at the monk Shanjie.

"You dead bald monk, if you're dead, shut up."

She retorted.

The monk Shanjie frowned slightly.

In his lifetime, he was a hypocrite, and perhaps he could still manage to suppress it.

But now that he's dead, he naturally won't indulge Ning Jinrou.

"The first thing I'm going to do is tear your mouth apart!"

He looked at Ning Jinrou coldly.

Ning Jinrou shrugged indifferently and said dismissively, "You can try."

"I have never seen any reckless evil spirit dare to challenge Taoist sorcerers!"

Ning Jinrou is truly tough.

They were not afraid of the monk Shanjie at all.

The monk Shanjie's face grew even more somber.

"court death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a blur and reappeared in front of Ning Jinrou.

Although Ning Jinrou was shouting, she was always on guard.

He reacted the instant the monk Shanjie made his move.

"break!"

She shouted and flung out the [Thunder Talisman] in her hand, striking the monk Shanjie squarely in the face.

If the monk Shanjie were still alive, this [Thunder Talisman] might not have caused him much harm.

But now, that bald monk is dead, he's a ghost!

Thunder, the ultimate punishment of Yang, subdues all evil.

This [Thunder Talisman] would be too powerful for even a newly formed ghost, let alone a monk named Shanjie. Even a powerful evil ghost would not dare to easily receive it.

But when the lightning struck Monk Shanjie, an unbelievable scene unfolded!
