The garden of the Duke's Mansion had been reduced to ruins, and the spider spirit who chose to rebel was torn in half alive by the plague demon, and died miserably.
A lot of the evil spirits in the City God's Temple also died. If it weren't for the endless incense and immortality of the City God himself, he would have died long ago.
Ordinary ghosts are just the incense of the city god. They have no god themselves. If they are killed, they are really dead.
The old monk Puzhai was also beaten out of the vajra state and turned into a human again. His breath was greatly weakened, and the demon-subduing pestle in his hand was directly broken into two pieces, and he was almost unable to fight anymore.
"Old monk, I cannot be killed, and you will soon run out of mana and die. Being an enemy of me will be the biggest mistake of your life!"
The Plague Demon laughed "Jie Jie Jie" and kicked Si Zheng, the punisher of evildoers, away, and punched Si Zheng, the rewarder of good deeds, almost out of his mind.
"Have you, the sinister incense power of you guys, been almost exhausted?
I give you a choice. Now, surrender to me. I can let you shed your current useless body and transform into the perfect body of a true demon!
Just like me, almost immortal. "
"The devil's lies can't harm my heart!"
All the Yin Chai shouted, but they didn't buy it.
The old monk Puzhai also said:
"This poor monk has devoted his whole life to the teachings of Buddhism. There is no way he can surrender. Today is just a death."
"Old monk, even if I don't kill you, you won't have many years to live, right?"
The Plague Demon sneered.
"Life and death are nothing more than nirvana."
"Really? But can you really let go of life and death? You have been practicing Buddhism all your life, and your cultivation is only like this.
After your death, how high will your status be in Buddhism?
At most, it is no more than the treatment of a pagoda. "
"Fame and wealth are just fleeting, a pagoda is enough."
"Yes, initially your friends and juniors will still remember you and pay homage to you from time to time.
But after a few years, the pagoda will be covered with dust, no one will pay attention to you anymore, and you will remain anonymous.
The world will forget you, and the Buddha will not save you, a disciple whose cultivation is not advanced enough.
You will completely disappear from the world without leaving any trace. "
The plague demon's voice is full of bewitchment,
"However, if you surrender to me, everything will be different. You will no longer be limited by the mortal body, and you will no longer be afraid of birth, old age, illness and death.
You will have endless time to study your Dharma and even become a real Buddha! "
When the old monk Puzhai heard this, his expression changed slightly. He was no longer as calm as before, and he reprimanded with some excitement:
"Evil devil, stop talking nonsense and messing with my mind!"
"Nonsense? Is it really nonsense?
I just expressed the question that you have always had in your mind.
Can Buddha really save all sentient beings?
Can a real person become a Buddha?
You have practiced Buddhism all your life, but it is still difficult to get a glimpse of the Buddha's teachings.
You have been doubting yourself for a long time. You don’t think you can become a Buddha. You are even fantasizing about whether you can achieve anything if you practice Buddhism in the next life.
These are all your own ideas, and I am just here to wake you up.
Enter my supreme demonic path and use your demonic body to practice Buddhism. You can become a Buddha and become the Buddha you have always wanted to be! "
When the old monk Puzhai heard the words of the Plague Demon, he felt uneasy, his body was shaking slightly, and his face was struggling, as if he was making a decision.
Seeing this, the City God shouted:
"No, don't be fooled by these evil words."
As he spoke, he launched an attack on the Plague Demon.
The plague demon laughed and easily drove away the city god, but instead gave words to persuade the city god.
The city god scolded the plague demon and paid no attention to what it said.
The old monk Puzhai, who had been struggling for a long time, suddenly calmed down, and his closed eyes slowly opened.
"That's it, the poor monk understands.
The Buddha is the devil, and the devil is the Buddha.
Since the current path is not going to work, then find another way..."
As the old monk Puzhai began to talk to himself, a demonic intention came from his heart, first staining the relics in his body black, and then spread throughout his body. Finally, his magic power turned from gold to black.
"Hahaha~~~ I understand, the poor monk finally realized it!"
The old monk Puzhai, who turned into a demon, looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice was terrifying and harsh.
The Plague Demon was very surprised when he saw this:
"It turns out that this old bald donkey already has demonic intentions in his heart, and he can become a demon directly without the need for initiation with my demonic energy..."
After the demonization, the old monk Puzhai looked as if he had suddenly become thirty years younger. His eyes were completely black, without a trace of white. He looked at the plague demon, clasped his hands and said:
"Thank you so much, Brother Plague Demon, for awakening the poor monk. As a reward, the poor monk is willing to help Brother Plague Demon take the lives of people in this city."
"Okay, since you have entered the devil's way, you don't have to be subordinate to me. From now on, you and I will be colleagues!"
The plague demon laughed, very happy.
When the city god saw this, he looked desperate. He didn't expect that his strongest combat force would rebel like this. It was really unexpected.
Puzhai Demon Monk looked towards the Duke's Mansion with an evil smile on his lips:
“There are many female relatives in this house, so I ask Brother Plague Demon to be merciful and let them die later.
This poor monk has wasted decades and has never experienced the joy of a man and a woman, so he must enjoy it now. "
"Easy to say, easy to say. If you join my demonic path, you will have countless beauties from now on. Brother Puzhai can enjoy them as he pleases!"
The two demons were so rampant that they did not pay attention to the remaining evil.
At this moment, the Plague Demon suddenly frowned:
"What's going on? My magic is fading?"
The Puzhai Demon Monk, who was about to enter the inner room to enjoy the beauty, looked at the Plague Demon:
"What happened?"
"Someone is breaking my poisonous fog method."
The plague demon's voice was a little anxious.
The reason why it is immortal and difficult to disinfect is because the poisonous mist it spreads will bring a large number of patients to it, thus providing endless mana.
But now there is someone who can break through the poisonous fog of his own. This can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron, directly cutting off its escape route. How can it not be anxious?
Puzhai Demon Monk was also surprised. He didn't expect that he would encounter an unexpected situation just after he found the "right path".
Immediately activate the celestial ear to listen to the situation.
"It's that blind man Yang. He is letting the whole city burn medicinal materials to use the smoke of medicinal materials to break your poisonous mist.
He came and brought Duke Shou with him. "
Puzhai Demon Monk was very surprised. He did not expect that this person would dare to come back at this time.
After hearing this, the Plague Demon became less panicked:
"You and I are now two against one, so there is nothing we can do for that person."
Just as he was talking, he saw Ye Ming and Duke Shou returning to the house.
"Master Puzhai...why have you changed?"
Duke Shou wanted to return to Puzhai Demon Monk at first, but after he discovered that he had changed drastically, he immediately did not dare to approach him.
"Bewitched? I would say that you, an old monk, have a weak will and love to tell lies. You really can't stand the temptation and have become a devil."
Ye Ming observed the Puzhai Demon Monk without opening his eyes and said again,
"Wise choice, as expected, becoming a demon is the only right path in the world."
Pu Zhai Demon Monk, who was about to persuade Ye Ming to become a demon, was startled:
"Fellow Daoist Yang also approves of becoming a demon?"
"Of course. I not only agree, but I also believe that only demons are the greatest existences in the world. Only demons are worthy to rule the world and rule the heavens."
Ye Ming spoke 100% from his heart.
Hearing what Ye Ming said, Puzhai Demon Monk and Plague Demon looked at each other.
The Plague Demon asked tentatively;
"Then you are also a demon?"
"you guess."
Plague Demon:......
Pu Zhai Demon Monk:......
At this moment, they only have one thought, that is, Ye Ming is playing tricks on them.
Including Duke Shou and the Yin Chai people also think so.
Ye Ming patted Duke Shou on the shoulder:
"My lord, the way back to the plague has been cut off. The people of the whole city are united in resisting the epidemic, and public opinion can be used."
When Duke Shou heard this, he took out an official seal and a tiger talisman from his arms very anxiously.
When the two demons saw the official seal and tiger talisman, they became anxious and launched an attack.
Duke Shou was frightened to death, his legs were weak, and he wanted to run away, but Ye Ming held him up by his shoulders.
At the critical moment, Shou Guogong closed his eyes and took the official seal and tiger talisman and said:
"Everyone in Shoushui City listens to the order, slay evil spirits, and eliminate demons!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the official seal and tiger talisman flashing.
From the official seal, a figure of a frontier official appeared in official robes, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a majestic face. He pulled out the sword from his waist and struck at the Puzhai Demon Monk to kill him.
An armored and sharp general emerged from the tiger talisman. He was majestic, swallowing mountains and rivers with anger. He brandished his spear and attacked the plague demon.
As a powerful nobleman conferred by the imperial court, Duke Shou Guo integrated military and political affairs and governed Shoushui City.
No matter how bad his management is, as long as he is in office for one day, he has the responsibility to use the power of Shoushui City.
Of course, the premise is that people's hearts will be what they want.
The power of official seals and tiger talismans comes from the people in the city.
Only things that are recognized by most people can be powerful.
But now, everyone agrees with the eradication of the epidemic.
Therefore, the official seal and tiger talisman, which has the power of gathering the hearts of everyone in the city, are extremely powerful.
The Puzhai Demon Monk, who was weak in cultivation, was beheaded on the spot by the figure of the feudal official in the official seal. His body was directly turned into powder, and with a slight breeze, it turned into dust and dispersed.
The cultivation level of the Plague Demon was much higher, and the military equipment of Shoushui City was really lax. As a result, the general Xu Ying was unable to exert his due strength, and was unable to defeat the Plague Demon. The two sides were evenly matched.
Fortunately, with the help of the official seal figures, with two against one, the plague demon was instantly defeated. The poisonous mist emitted from its body was completely unable to do anything to the two figures, and they were beaten back and forth.
At the back, five of the six arms were removed, and two of the four legs were removed. It looked so miserable.
Seeing that the plague demon was about to be killed, he was greatly frightened.
Now that the poisonous fog spell in the city has been broken, it has lost its immortality. If it dies here, it will be really dead, not sealed.
In desperation, the Plague Demon shouted loudly and exploded into the form of a true demon, turning into a ball of black smoke and flying out of Shoushui City.
The two figures were dispersed by the true form of his self-destruction, and returned to the official seal and tiger talisman.
Seeing that the plague demon was only in its original form of black smoke, all the evil spirits were refreshed. The city god, regardless of his own condition, chased after him with all the evil spirits.
When Duke Shou saw the evil spirit escaping, his body softened and he fell to the ground.
This time Ye Ming did not help him and came to the place where the Puzhai Demon Monk was killed.
There is another cassock on the spot, which is exactly the one worn by the demon monk Puzhai.
But at this time, there is no Buddha nature in this cassock, it is full of demon nature.
When Ye Ming saw this, he liked it very much and knew that he had found a treasure.
Under the cassock, there is a pure black relic, which is the demonized relic of Puzhai Demon Monk. It is also a rare treasure for Ye Ming.
In addition, there are two rosary beads, one is a small rosary bracelet held in the hand, and the other is a large rosary hanging around the neck.
Both of these objects also became demonized. Ye Ming was delighted and put them away.
The remaining treasures, such as the Demon-Conquering Pestle, were all broken before being transformed into demons and were no longer of use.
Ye Ming felt a little pity.
After collecting the old monk's relics, Ye Ming walked up to Duke Shou again:
"Remember, those who are infected with the disease in the city must try their best to cure them, otherwise the evil spirit will come back and no one will help you."
After saying this, Ye Ming left leisurely.
Outside the house, wheat ears and wild fruits are sitting on carts waiting.
Donkey Gen pulled the cart out of the city.
After a while, a beautiful cat appeared and jumped onto the cart.
"Those two monsters are quite capable. It took me a lot of effort to kill them."
Ye Ming didn't react to Lei Ling's words. He just lifted the crotch of her neck and put it in front of him for a while to examine it. When he saw that she wasn't injured, he dropped it and didn't care anymore.
When the cart was still around a corner from the city gate, a man who looked like a rickety old man suddenly appeared. He came to the cart and handed out a roll of straw mat. There was a sword hidden in the straw mat.
"The Thief Saint dug out the sword from the ruins of the City God's Temple and asked me to give it to the 'Living God'. He wanted to take the beauty to wander around the world, but he didn't come over."
Hearing this, Ye Ming nodded, and with a move of his hand, the sword disappeared, leaving only the straw mat outside.
"You also took the opportunity to get a lot of treasures from the Duke's Mansion, right? It should be enough for you to support the widows of your comrades in arms."
This person is naturally Ma Zhen, and the old man's current disguise was made by the Thief Saint to avoid being exposed.
"My intuition from many years on the battlefield tells me that Chenzhou will not be peaceful in the future. I will take them to leave Chenzhou and find another place to live."
"Do you have a specific place to go?"
"Not yet."
"Then I recommend a place, what do you think?"
"'Living God', please speak."
