I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Of course, the progress did not satisfy him, but there were indeed not many mages in this branch.

So Honglian didn't blame them too much. After encouraging everyone with a few words, he went to an ancient house nearby to check it out himself.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door and Jiang Boda hurried over to open it.

"But the Sorting Mage?"

Because it was Zhang Sheng's face, Jiang Boda showed some confusion on his face.

"I am a mage who came to reinforce the Wancheng branch. It is normal that you have never seen me."

Honglian did not reveal his identity as 'Master Honglian'. He just wanted to get the job done as soon as possible and was too lazy to accept compliments from an unknown person.

"Ah, Master, please come in!"

This house...

As soon as she entered the door, Honglian frowned.

"Master, there shouldn't be any problem with me, right?" Seeing Honglian's expression, Jiang Boda's voice changed.

Waving her hand to signal Jiang Boda to be quiet, Honglian paced to the well.

"There is a trace of demonic energy leaking out here."

"It's not a big problem. I can just reinforce the seal. You can go to your friend's house and talk for the time being."

...................

When Jiang Boda walked away, Honglian suddenly sneered, "Why don't you show yourself soon, devil? Your tricks may deceive other mages, but you can never deceive this poor monk's eyes!"

The seal here was almost completely broken, but the devil was cunning and disguised it as if only a trace of demonic energy was leaking and it only needed a slight reinforcement.

boom--

As soon as Honglian finished speaking, a demonic energy emerged from the well.

"presumptuous!"

As he roared angrily, a Buddha's light suddenly appeared on Honglian's body, suppressing the evil spirit in the well.

"A random person who came to check up turned out to be an Ascendant?"

The evil spirit dissipated, revealing the true form of the devil.

Since the seal has not been completely broken, the demon has only one foot out of the well, while the other foot is still in the well.

From the outside, this demon does not have any characteristics of a demon at all, and looks just like a middle-aged monk.

"Hahahaha!" Honglian laughed loudly, "So I can let you, the devil, know that Buddhism is flourishing in my country Sang now. There are 1,078 temples of all sizes! Among them, there are 108 first-class temples, and there are Arhats in all the temples. The Honglian Temple where I am located is the largest temple in Sang Country. From time to time, Buddhas descend from the upper realm to give lectures to the monks in the temple."

Pointing at the devil with a strange look, Honglian said leisurely: "I am just a sweeping monk, and I am more than capable of dealing with you. Don't resist, or else you will provoke a group of Arhats, and you will have a hard time dying today."

"..."

It turns out that a country has been established in this place.

Moreover, the people in Buddhism nowadays are really interesting.

"Although time is like a millstone, and has worn away my magical powers to the point where only one tenth remains, it is not so bad that I cannot even handle a mere 'Red Lotus Master' who is an Ascended One."

Honglian couldn't help but feel shocked and angry when her true colors were exposed by this devil.

Being exposed is secondary; the key lies in the tone of this demon!

What does it mean that a ‘mere’ upgraded person accidentally runs into a big devil?

........

As his thoughts raced, the shock and anger on Honglian's face slowly turned into a sneer.

"Devil, you met me today, it means God wants to take you away!"

As three Buddha statues in the flesh appeared behind Honglian, Jie also frowned.

My luck this time is really bad. I would be able to break the seal completely in a few days, but I ended up meeting such a special upgrader.

Humph, fortunately there is still a way out, so it doesn’t matter if I ‘fall’ here.

Relaxed, Jie listened carefully to the voices of the three flesh-and-blood Buddhas behind Honglian.

The Red Lotus Patriarch, the incense path? Not bad, not bad, it is really unique!

The other two...haha, they were forced to sit in the jar by the monks in the temple before their life span was over?

[I have heard your resentment. Tsk, if I still have a bit of magic power, I will fulfill your wish today.]

[But there is still a long way to go, don't worry, I will come find you. ]

"Suffer death——"

The four Buddha lights merged into one, and with the blessing of enormous vows, the Red Lotus's magical power instantly skyrocketed, reaching the level of an immortal.

With a magic seal to subdue the devil, a red lotus was imprinted heavily on the heart of the great demon.

Without any resistance, the demon's body was smashed into pieces by the Demon-Subduing Seal.

Chapter 135: The monk's robes cause trouble

The body of the great demon cannot be so fragile.

So this guy is just trying to scare me?

Honglian walked to the well and checked it carefully again. Although there was still some evil spirit left in it, there was nothing else.

"Humph, you are so arrogant, but in the end you are just a little devil."

I was actually frightened earlier. Of course, how many great demons and immortals are there in this world? It is impossible to encounter them all in succession.

After completely dispelling the evil spirit in the well, Honglian left the ancient house unhappily.

What the master didn't know was that when the 'little devil' was beaten to ashes by him, the 17 exiles who had already left Wancheng all fainted on the road.

"what happened?"

The escorting soldiers carefully went forward to check, thinking that these prisoners had joined forces to cause trouble, but when they got closer they found that they were indeed unconscious.

Not only that......

"This man is not breathing, he is dead!"

King Sang ordered that these guards be exiled to the frontier, but just a few days after they set out, some of them had already died mysteriously on the road.

"What should we do? Let's get him a doctor. Maybe he can be saved."

"He's already dead! Which miracle doctor can save him?"

The dead cannot be saved, but those who are unconscious must be saved.

After all, if one person dies, the matter can be covered up, but if all of them really die, all the soldiers present will be held accountable.

"Li San, go find a doctor quickly—"

As the youngest soldier in the escort team, Li San was immediately ordered around by the other senior soldiers.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly ran to the nearby town.

About two incense sticks later, when Li San came back panting with the doctor, he found that the unconscious people had woken up.

"It's a wasted trip. The dead one won't be waiting for me to bury him, right?"

Li San muttered to himself and suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Everyone glanced at Wang Bing's head, intentionally or unintentionally. Li San looked over in confusion. Hey! Why is there a word carved on his head?

....................

"Boss, six bowls of vegetarian noodles!"

When the three of them came to a noodle stall to rest, Yao Bingshi touched his stomach and couldn't wait to order something to eat.

"Six bowls of vegetarian noodles?"

The boss asked uncertainly, and after getting Yao Bingshi's confirmation, he responded and started to get busy.

This noodle stall is doing very good business, and the three of them came at the right time. If they had come a little later, there might not have been any seats available.

The little girl was halfway through her noodles when she heard Huizhen beside her exclaim.

Looking up, she found several people with cloth strips wrapped around their heads hurried in.

"..."

"Master Huizhen, what is this word?" Tangtang slowly wrote the word 'Jie' on the table with her fingers.

"Jie, Jie, why do you suddenly ask such a question, Master?"

"Well, they all have this word carved on their heads. Why do they carve words on their heads? It hurts so much."

Originally Huizhen felt that these people were in a hurry and looked anxious, which was very strange.

After hearing what Tangtang said, he immediately understood.

"It turns out he's a fugitive!"

Before Huizhen could do anything, Yao Bingshi slammed the table and stood up.

"Get out of the way, I'll take them to the government office."

After Yao Bingshi shouted, several people with cloth strips wrapped around their heads ran away.

"Humph"

Yao Bingshi chased after the five people with big strides, and slapped them one by one, making them all roll on the ground.

................

Squatting down, Yao Bingshi tore off the cloth strips on these people's heads, and sure enough, there was a word "Jie" engraved on their foreheads.

"We are not fugitives, we, we are soldiers escorting prisoners!"

Yao Bingshi would not believe this, so she said casually, "Whether you are a fugitive or a soldier, we will know after we send you to the government office for investigation."

"We can't go to the government office, we have to rush to the border! We can't turn back, otherwise we will die, everyone will die!"

Li San was like a madman: "There is a demon. We are being haunted by the demon—"

Devil?

To be on the safe side, Huizhen walked over and carefully observed Li San, who claimed that he was possessed by a demon.

"..."

If he is really possessed by a demon, there should be some demonic energy on him.

But now it's not happening, it seems like he is really talking nonsense.

"Donor Yao, let's take these fugitives to the government office together."

"No, I'm not going!"

Not only Li San, but the other four people who were knocked down by Yao Bingshi also struggled desperately.

However, the female blacksmith had extraordinary strength, and she easily subdued the five men and tied them up tightly.

"Sister Yao, wait a moment."

Just when several people were feeling desperate, the little girl ran over and stared at the word "Jie" on their foreheads again and again.

"What's wrong, Tangtang?"

"This word seems a bit strange."

stare--

At first glance, it didn't look strange, but after staring at it for a long time, the little girl felt her eyes were a little blurry.

Blinking, it's not strange anymore, just an ordinary word "Jie".

stare--

Resisting the urge to blink, Tangtang kept staring at the word "杰".

My eyes are blurry again. No, they are not blurry!
