Chapter 45: Jiuquan Evil Disaster, Elders Discuss

Inside the Elders' Hall, the Third Elder was still busy at the moment. A bad news came from the foot of the mountain today. A ghost disaster occurred in a town a hundred miles away from Maoshan!
The name of the town was Jiuquan Town. Originally, the town was close to Maoshan Mountain and there was nothing major going on. However, the arrival of a group of foreign missionaries completely broke the peace.

I don't know what means this group of foreign priests used to deceive the people and spread lies to confuse the public. They wanted to forcibly build a church on the Sansha site in Jiuquan Town!
The Maoshan disciples stationed in Jiuquan Town naturally strongly opposed it. After all, the Three Evil Positions were prone to gathering ghosts and monsters. All along, the Three Evil Positions in Jiuquan Town had been sealed by Maoshan's formation.

It's a pity that this garrison disciple is no match for those foreign priests...

By promising benefits and some small favors to the people, the people of Jiuquan Town directly ignored the reminders of the Maoshan disciples and forcibly broke the seal of the Three Evils in Jiuquan Town.

In addition, some wealthy businessmen in the town and the county government helped the foreign missionaries.

The church was completed in just over a month.

The result is naturally predictable...

The seal of the Three Evils was broken, and evil spirits began to gather in the church. Over time, it also attracted a group of evil spirits from the mountains.

They directly occupied the church, and within a few days, more than a dozen people died near the church in Jiuquan Town!
The Maoshan disciples stationed in the town wanted to enter the church to kill the evil spirit, but were stopped by the priests.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he couldn't do anything to stop it.

With no results, the Maoshan disciple could only pass the news back to Maoshan and let the elders decide the matter!

As time passed, all the elders in the Elder Hall took their seats. Wu Chenzi glanced at the second-in-command elder, and after an eye contact, the elder nodded.

Slowly stood up...

"My fellow disciples, news has come from down the mountain that the Three Evil Positions in Jiuquan Town have been breached, evil spirits have gathered in the mountains and occupied the Three Evil Positions, and more than ten people have been killed.

I wonder what you think, fellow disciples?"

"Great Elder, let the disciples stationed in the town solve this problem directly. They are just a group of evil spirits. How difficult is that?"

Elder Liu from the Law Enforcement Hall blurted out, after all, in their eyes, things like evil spirits causing chaos were not a big deal.

“It is easy to kill evil spirits, but the three evil spirits in the town were broken because foreign priests came and built a church.

This group of foreigners won't let anyone enter the church, and the disciples stationed there can do nothing about it. This is the matter that needs our decision."

"Foreign priest?"

Everyone frowned for a moment. Although they had never seen Western priests, they had heard of them and did not have a good impression of them!

As the Qing dynasty became more and more corrupt, the imperial court was about to fall, and it was no longer able to stop these foreign missionaries from preaching. Some officials even helped the foreign missionaries to preach...

"Humph!

How dare a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed, unevolved barbarians come to build a church and preach near my Maoshan?
How brave!

I will bring a flying zombie down the mountain right now, and I will make sure these barbarians never come back!"

When Elder Wu of the Corpse Driving Hall heard that the ghost disaster was caused by a foreign missionary, his temper became somewhat uncontrollable. After all, how could he allow others to sleep soundly next to his bed?
What’s more, he is a foreign missionary!
Within a hundred miles of Maoshan, not to mention the foreign missionaries, even other Taoist sects are not so arrogant and domineering. No wonder Elder Wu is so angry.

"Junior Brother Wu is quite motivated, but after much thought by the old Taoist priest and the head master, we still think it would be better to let other people from Maoshan come forward.

As for your flying zombie, Junior Brother Wu, you should not act rashly. When practicing the law, the most taboo is to damage your merits. Although those foreign priests should be killed, but..."

The Great Elder did not continue speaking. This was the sadness of practicing the law. When faced with demons and evil spirits, one could kill them without hesitation.

However, when facing ordinary people, unless they are burdened with karma, killing them will damage their merits and will be harmful rather than beneficial to future cultivation.

Although those foreign priests deserved to be killed, it was not necessarily their karma that was imposed upon them...

The words of the Great Elder were like a bucket of cold water. Elder Wu felt somewhat unwilling, but he could only sit down silently.

Wu Chenzi, who had been silent, also stood up at this time!
"Brother Wu, don't be depressed. They are just a bunch of foreigners. It's hard for you to take action, but I am different!
However, I will let you and the old Taoist's disciples go to deal with the ghost disaster this time...

A group of evil spirits are just right for training. As for those foreign priests, if they are sensible, it will be fine. If they are stubborn, my disciple Shi Jian is also a Qigong cultivator, so I will kill him on the spot!"

As Wu Chenzi spoke, an endless murderous intent was faintly revealed, and all the elders agreed with this decision. Indeed, they were just a group of evil spirits in the mountains, and it was not worth it for them, the foundation-building masters, to take action. But they could let their disciples test them. As for the foreign priests, according to Shi Jian's cultivation level of more than the seventh level of Qi training, they would definitely be able to capture them easily!

As for whether Shi Jian dared to attack a living person, they felt that this was not a problem. Not to mention that Shi Jian's violent method against the black zombie was still fresh in their mind, in their eyes, foreigners were not considered human beings...

"Hahaha, we are all convinced by the decision made by our headmaster brother.

Sigh, maybe I should have chosen the way of Qi training back then, so I don’t have to worry about it today…”

Elder Wu's complicated expression was not unique; other elders who practiced the law also had the same expression.

Over the years, they have witnessed too many scumbags, but they were too cautious to kill them with one blow. The cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Master seemed to have become an invisible chain...

"Since all the junior brothers have no objection, then this matter will be settled. All the 72nd generation disciples will go out together, and the second junior brother will secretly protect them. After everything comes to an end, you will reseal the Three Evils."

"We will obey the master's order!"

"Junior brother, I will obey my brother's decree!"

After the final result was announced, the elders' meeting ended. The third elder did not delay and went straight back to the Talisman Hall, where Shi Jian and the others were still waiting!
At this moment, in the Talisman Hall, Shi Jian closed his eyes and meditated quietly. As for the other disciples, although they also sat cross-legged silently, they would look behind them from time to time...

"Strange, usually the Third Elder would have arrived long ago, why is he here today?"

Simu was a little confused, but before he could continue thinking, the third elder stepped into the hall.

In a flash, everyone stood up and bowed.

"We are here to see the Third Elder!"

Arriving on the high platform, the third elder smiled faintly, with a barely perceptible interest flashing in his eyes.

"Sit down. I'm sure you little guys can't wait for the old Taoist to come and teach you. It's just...

The situation has changed today, today's class is cancelled!"

"Master, what big thing happened?"

Qianhe stood up, with a hint of solemnity.

"Hahaha, I guess so...

Do you remember the trial that the Taoist priest mentioned?
The two-month period has passed, and now it’s time for you to truly face those evil things!

The three evil spirits in Jiuquan Town at the foot of the mountain have been broken, and now countless evil spirits have gathered there. In compliance with the order of the master, all of you should rush to Jiuquan Town today to kill the evil spirits.

This is your trial!

Okay, that’s enough talking. Now let’s go back to our respective halls. Your master will explain everything clearly.

An hour later, we will gather in the main hall, led by Junior Brother Shi Jian, and set off to Jiuquan Town immediately!"

As soon as the voice fell, the third elder went out of the hall. As Qianhe's master, he also had to prepare some for his disciple...

For a moment, everyone's faces darkened, but they calmed down and quickly returned to their respective halls.

As for Shi Jian...

Also heading towards Damao Peak.

　You don't have to feel that the updates are slow. Before a new book is put on the shelves, all authors basically follow this pace, because there won't be much to recommend it after it's on the shelves. The editor of my book said that it will be on the shelves with about 120,000 words, and it will only take three or four days.

　　I hope everyone can support the first order at that time. After that, I will continue to work hard to publish 10,000 copies a day. The quantity is large and the update is not charged separately. I also hope that book friends who like this book can continue to support the author, such as monthly tickets and rewards. The author will not refuse them. Of course, I have thought too much...

　　I will stop commenting and continue writing. I really hope that the numerous monthly rewards and recommendation votes will crush me to death!
