I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

As a Jinshi, Meng Xi naturally understood that this was an insult to him for being shameless, immoral, and untrustworthy!

"I, I'll fight you."

He could no longer remain calm. He grasped the knife at his waist and rushed towards Zhou Kao regardless of Zhou Liangjin's obstruction.

Seeing this, Zhou Liangjin did not stop him, but narrowed his eyes and watched how Zhou Kao responded.

He wished Zhou Kao would kill Meng Xi, so that he would become a criminal who killed a Jinshi scholar and would be sentenced.

Chapter 212 The Power of the Book of Life and Death

This is the rule of the Dayu Dynasty.

Dayu is still here,

It is also the rule of the human world today.

As for the punishment, he has the final say then?

After all, Meng Xi was just a young and energetic scholar who had not yet entered the officialdom.

After being yelled at and humiliated by Zhou Kao, he completely lost his mind. In a rage, he drew his sword and vowed to fight Zhou Kao to the death.

But as a weak scholar, he even had difficulty lifting a sword weighing more than ten pounds.

Although his face was red and his hair stood on end with anger, in Zhou Kao's eyes, he posed no threat at all.

Even when Zhou Kao was studying in Beiguo, his martial arts skills were no match for Meng Xi.

"I'll fight you!! Aa ...

He roared angrily and swung his sword towards Zhou Kao.

Zhou Kao's expression was calm, he did not dodge or evade, he just let go.

"Bang!"

He casually placed the tiger-patterned sword in his hand, along with its sheath, on him.

The heavy scabbard hit Meng Xi's shoulder, and there was a dull "ouch" sound. The scholar cried out in pain, staggered and fell, covered in dust.

He struggled to get up, but was pinned down by the precious sword on his body. His arm felt numb and painful, and the sword was too heavy. He was flailing around in a state of disarray, unable to get up.

"You and I were just arguing, but you wanted to draw your sword and kill someone."

Zhou Kao shook his head and sighed,

"This is not the style of a scholar. A gentleman once said: Use your words, not your hands. I didn't expect you to use your hands instead of your words."

He paused, his tone a little sarcastic:

"Just now, Zhou Liangjin called me a crude warrior, but I wasn't angry. How come you're so impatient now that it's your turn to say a few words to me?

Hehe...it seems you don't like being insulted either. If you're angry, you'll draw your sword and kill. If that's the case, why did you insult me ​​just now? Don't do to others what you don't want done to you.

It seems that your title of Jinshi is quite prestigious."

After saying this, he looked at Meng Xi, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, with a half-smile.

Meng Xi's expression changed constantly, and he was filled with anger, but he couldn't refute.

He wanted to fight back with his knowledge, but he was at a loss for words and could not utter a word.

Finally, he was so angry that his blood boiled and he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

"Well, you're really strong-willed! You have the guts to pierce through my intestines!"

Zhou Kao clapped his hands and laughed, his tone full of sarcasm.

"From beginning to end, he remained silent, preferring to spit out three liters of blood rather than admit his mistakes. He is truly a role model for our generation, a pillar of the court! I must learn from him."

After saying that, he slowly walked forward, took back his tiger-patterned sword from Meng Xi, gently patted the dust off the scabbard, and then looked up at Zhou Liangjin.

The latter's face was as gloomy as water and looked extremely ugly.

A distinguished Jinshi was so shocked by Zhou Kao's few words that he vomited blood, fainted, and lost all face.

What is even more unacceptable is that Zhou Kao never used a single blow, but only used words and a sword to make the Jinshi humiliate himself.

If they make a fuss about this, it will probably only make them look like they are making a big deal out of nothing and can't afford to lose.

As for the verbal battle - I am not as skilled as the other person, and there is no refutation.

"Brother Meng Xi!"

Several scholars who were accompanying him hurried forward and helped the unconscious Meng Xi back. Their eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness, as if Zhou Kao had a grudge against them for killing their father and stealing their wife.

Zhou Liangjin snorted coldly and finally spoke:

"You, a warrior, possess not only some crude martial arts skills, but also a sharp tongue, capable of delivering such pointed insults. However, this young master wishes to abstain from further discussion with a reckless man like you. This land now belongs to me, and I urge you to withdraw while you are ahead. Otherwise, not only will this young master ensure that you never become an official in your lifetime, but you will also lose your soon-to-be-acquired status as a juren."

His tone was grim, with a naked threat:

"If you go to Hanshou City to take the exam someday, I have a hundred ways to prevent you from even entering the exam room!"

After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Zhou family's ancestor was a founding general of Dayu, a descendant of a king or prince, and had a prominent family background. He had close confidants throughout the court and was deeply rooted in the local area.

Especially in Hanshou City, the honor of a mere juren could be wiped out with just one word from him.

Zhou Kao laughed out loud when he heard this:

"Fame, fortune, and status are like floating clouds to me. They don't matter to me. But if you really want to use dirty tricks to deprive me of my fame, then I don't mind being selfish and depriving you of a few decades of life."

His tone was relaxed, but it contained a chilling chill:

"If you are willing to exchange your life for fame, I don't mind."

Zhou Liangjin's originally disdainful smile suddenly froze on his face.

He frowned, his face full of confusion. "You want to deprive me of decades of life? Do you think you're a god in heaven or the devil in the underworld? I'm destined to be a king. Which ghost or god dares to touch me?"

Although he came from a wealthy family, he was not an ignorant person. He had some knowledge of ghosts and gods, so naturally he would not be completely unbelieving.

Zhou Kao said nothing, but slowly took out an old black book from his arms.

The cover of the book was mottled, and three powerful characters were written on the cover - "Book of Life and Death"!

As soon as this book came out, the temperature around it dropped sharply, and a cold and gloomy atmosphere spread out, making people feel creepy.

"What? The Book of Life and Death of Yama in the Underworld!!"

An old fox with a thousand years of Taoist practice screamed in shock, his voice trembling and his expression horrified.

According to legend, the treasure that is in the hands of Yama in the underworld and can decide life and death and change people's destinies actually appeared in the hands of the "young boy" invited by this Hu Han?

How can this be! !

"Book of Life and Death?"

In the valley, countless monsters were shocked and whispered to each other.

How could these wild fox demons have ever seen such a treasure from the underworld in their lives?

"Oh my God... He actually has this thing. Who in the world dares to go against him?"

Hu Han was also very frightened and extremely shocked.

He felt more and more that the lord his daughter Lu'e followed was definitely not an ordinary person. Not only did he have the martial power to challenge the major demon kings, but even he himself probably didn't really understand his background.

At this moment, the entire valley fell into deathly silence.

Only the wind blew through the treetops, making a low whimpering sound.

His blood and energy are so strong that ghosts and gods won't approach him. His magic to confuse people is useless. He also holds the book of life and death of Yama in the underworld.

No matter how you look at it, this is not something a mortal should have.

Zhou Liangjin was also stunned at this moment. He could judge from the expressions and exclamations of these monsters that this really seemed to be the legendary Book of Life and Death.

"How come you have this thing?"

"Of course I'm borrowing it. I have to return it later. What do you want? I can lend it to you to read through. Maybe you can see your future destiny."

Zhou Kao said with a smile, as if he was very generous and was willing to lend it to Zhou Liangjin for reading.

Chapter 213 Mortals cannot see

At this moment, Zhou Liangjin's heart moved and greed arose.

If one could read the Book of Life and Death, a treasure of heaven and earth, one could not only get a glimpse of one's future destiny and life span, but also brag about it in front of others and become a remarkable person that the world would pay attention to.

The temptation of fame and fortune was almost irresistible to him.

Immediately, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take the black-covered ancient book, with an impatient look on his face.

"Mr. Zhou, stop it now!!"

At this moment, an accompanying scholar suddenly exclaimed, his face changed drastically, and he rushed over hurriedly and grabbed Zhou Liangjin's arm.

"This is the Book of Life and Death from the underworld, controlling the cycle of life and death for all living things! Only highly accomplished spirits and gods can read this book. Any mortal who touches it will be punished by heaven! Even if you have the destiny of a king or a noble, you may not be able to withstand such backlash!!"

He sounded anxious, his voice trembling slightly.

Not only will reading it bring disaster, but even leaking its contents will bring irreversible retribution!!!

This is no different from a cultivator leaking the secrets of heaven, both of which are against the will of heaven!

"What? There is such a thing?"

Zhou Liangjin was startled when he heard this and quickly retracted his hand. The greed on his face was instantly replaced by a trace of panic.

"A man does not speak of strange things, I do not believe these nonsense that confuse the public!"

At this moment, another scholar stood up angrily.

"What book of life and death? It's just a trick this guy uses to scare people! Zhou Kao, if you really dare to let me look through it, I will definitely expose your deception!"

After saying that, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand and snatched the Book of Life and Death, his movements quick and decisive, his face full of disdain.

Zhou Kao's expression was indifferent. He simply said, "It's okay to lend it to you for reading. The consequences are at your own risk."

"One person does the job, one person takes the responsibility, don't talk too much!"

The scholar snorted coldly and opened the Book of Life and Death. As he expected, there was only a blank page without a single word.

"Did you see that?!" he shouted triumphantly, "There's nothing in this book. It's just a blank sheet of paper with not a single word written on it! It's really a trick Zhou Kao used to deceive people..."

Before he finished speaking, the people around him had already shown expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

Because at the moment the Book of Life and Death was opened, a strange black light enveloped it, as if a thick fog obscured their vision, making it impossible for them to see the contents of the pages.

It seems that only the reader can see the truth hidden in it.

However, just as he was laughing wildly, he suddenly felt the world in front of him quickly darken.

It was clearly noon and the sun was shining brightly, but the surroundings seemed to have suddenly plunged into darkness. It was pitch dark and I couldn't even see my own fingers when I stretched out my hand.

"Huh? It's so dark..."

He muttered to himself and looked around in confusion, only to find that darkness was coming like a tide, completely swallowing him up.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone present, the scholar's eyes were bleeding, his pupils had disappeared, and his eyes were as black as ink - blind!

"What a hypocritical piece of shit."

Zhou Kao spoke coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:

"You say you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you've become entangled with a fox spirit, aiding and abetting the tyrant, slaughtering your own people. Now that the spirits have appeared before you, how can you still claim you don't believe in ghosts and gods? It's truly ridiculous that you insist on looking through my book of life and death and exposing my so-called lies."

He walked forward slowly, took back the Book of Life and Death from the scholar, and said casually:

"It's better if you can't see it anymore. Just go home and enjoy your retirement in peace."

This is just a small punishment.

But for the scholar, it was a disaster.

You know, he passed the imperial examination at such a young age, and his future is bright. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to get at least a seventh-rank official position in the future.

However, due to his greed and arrogance, he became blind and his path to the imperial examination was cut short.

"I... am I really blind?"

His voice was trembling, full of fear and regret.
