Chapter 110 They Must Die

Taoist Priest Xuanming entered the Tianshi Mansion.

In the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Xuanqing was practicing thunder magic.

He condensed blood-colored thunder at his fingertips. As his mind of Tao became clearer, his cultivation became more advanced.

Now his control over thunder magic has reached the level where he can do whatever he wants.

The blood-red thunder danced at his fingertips, gentle but filled with a bloody and violent aura.

While Zhang Xuanqing was practicing thunder magic, a small purple flag was floating in front of him.

It was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and a dark aura was revealed on the Banner.

Zhang Xuanqing injected only traces of blood-colored thunder into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

While practicing thunder magic, he also used his thunder magic to temper the evil spirits within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

After being tempered by the blood-colored sky thunder, the evil spirits within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner will become even more powerful. This is also a method of refining magic weapons.

Just as Zhang Xuanqing was practicing thunder magic and tempering the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Taoist Xuanming walked in from the mountain.

Watching the Heavenly Master refining his Ten Thousand Souls Banner again.

Taoist Xuanming said nothing and stood aside waiting.

Although he knew that this soul flag was not a kind thing, Taoist Xuanming's mentality at this moment was different from before.

If it were the former Taoist Master Xuanming, he might have said something when he saw the Heavenly Master openly blessing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the holy land of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

After all, it is a holy place of Taoism and cannot be desecrated.

But the current Taoist Master Xuanming is different from before. After experiencing some recent events, Taoist Master Xuanming has also had a significant change in his view of the Heavenly Master.

In the past, Taoist Master Xuanming only believed that justice was justice and evil was evil.

But now that Taoist Xuanming has experienced recent events, his definition of the boundary between justice and evil has become blurred.

To put it more clearly, even Taoist Master Xuanming cannot tell what is right and what is evil.

In the past, he just wanted to be a good person, but after what happened with the Heavenly Master, he realized that good people may not always be rewarded.

If you want to be a good person, you must master the right method, otherwise you will get into trouble and the honest good people will suffer.

It is difficult to be a human being, and it is even more difficult to be a good person.

At this moment, Taoist Xuanming was watching the Heavenly Master using the blood-colored heavenly thunder to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the Heavenly Master did.

Although the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is an evil thing, it depends on how it is used, just like modern thermal weapons.

A gun is essentially just a gun.

If this gun is held in the hands of a righteous person, who enforces the law impartially and fights against evil, then it is a gun of kindness. In the words of the spiritual world, it is a righteous magic weapon.

If it is held in the hands of evildoers and used to kill innocent people and provoke wars, it becomes a magic weapon.

In fact, guns themselves are not good or evil, it only depends on whether the person who uses the gun is good or evil.

Is the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls evil?

That is undoubtedly evil, because this kind of magic weapon can capture people's souls, refine their souls, and make them unable to be reborn forever.

But if you say he is extremely evil, that's not necessarily the case.

The Ten Thousand Souls Sail has been in the hands of the Heavenly Master for such a long time, but the Heavenly Master has not used it to kill innocent people, nor has he used it to collect the souls of good people.

Instead, he used the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to capture and refine the evil spirits.

Some extremely vicious people who have committed heinous crimes have been taken into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner by the Heavenly Master, which is considered to be doing justice for the heavens and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, the Heavenly Master uses the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to deal with demons mostly.

So from this perspective, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is not an evil thing. Ultimately, it depends on how people use it.

Although the Tianshi Mansion is a holy place of Taoism, who says it is wrong to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner here?

In Buddhism, there is a monk named Jigong who cultivates his mind but not his body.

He does things as he pleases. While other monks observe Buddhist precepts and do not eat meat, Monk Jigong eats meat three times a day and cannot live without it.

Eat meat with your mouth, but no meat in your heart.

This state is much higher than having no meat on the lips but having meat in the heart.

A gentleman is judged by the heart, not by actions. If we judge by actions, there are no gentlemen in the world.

After the Taoist priest goes astray, what he does may often be difficult to accept from a secular perspective, but Taoist Xuanming always feels satisfied with the final result.

Even the mind of Tao is clear.

Especially these few incidents made Taoist Xuanming feel even stronger.

At this moment, he was also wondering if he was a little too pedantic. Perhaps the way of the Heavenly Master was the right one.

There is no doubt that Taoist Xuanming has been led astray by Zhang Xuanqing at this moment.

……

Taoist Priest Xuanming stood outside the main hall of Tianshi Mansion.

Zhang Xuanqing had already noticed him, and he immediately asked, "Brother Xuanming, have you dealt with everything down the mountain?"

Taoist Priest Xuanming nodded and said, "Reporting to the Heavenly Master, the matter has been almost dealt with. I have handed over the remaining matters to Lawyer Zhang Wei. If those old ladies want to continue to tangle with us at Longhu Mountain, Lawyer Zhang Wei will solve it."

Zhang Wei was recruited from the foot of the mountain to Mount Longhu.

During this period, Zhang Wei has fought many lawsuits for Longhushan. Facts have proved that Zhang Wei is indeed a lawyer genius, and the previous failed cases were indeed wrongful accusations.

Ever since he successfully won the Tianshi case, Zhang Wei seemed to have been blessed with great skills, and he basically never lost a case he encountered.

This time, all the cases were handed over to Zhang Wei to solve.

Zhang Xuanqing nodded.

He still feels at ease when Zhang Wei is doing things.

And this time, the cases of these old ladies are basically a sure win.

As long as Zhang Xuanqing himself doesn't admit it, it will be impossible for them to blame it on Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Wei might even be ruthless enough to demand compensation for reputation loss from those old ladies.

After Taoist Priest Xuanming reported to the Heavenly Master about the progress of events down the mountain, he also had some questions to ask the Heavenly Master.

He asked, "Tianshi, those old ladies with terminal cancer, are you really not going to take back your magical powers? Are you really going to let them die of cancer?"

Taoist Xuanming hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question.

He wanted to know if the Taoist priest was really determined to kill those old ladies?

If he had only cast a spell to scare those old ladies and then retracted it, it would only be considered a minor punishment in Taoism.

But if those old ladies really died of advanced cancer, the nature of the situation would be different.

After all, when people die, their souls return to the underworld, and the King of Hell will investigate the cause of their death. Those old ladies were not destined to have cancer, but died of cancer halfway through their lives. In the end, it will definitely be traced back to the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and by then Longhu Mountain will also have to give an explanation to the underworld.

Although the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple has some relationship with the King of Hell, matters like this should be handled impartially. Otherwise, the Taoist's good deeds and merits may be deducted.

To put it bluntly, if those old ladies really died, the Taoist priest would have suffered a great loss.

After all, merit and good deeds are not easy to earn in the Three Realms.

Even the immortals, gods, and spirits in heaven and on earth are unwilling to lose their merits and virtues unless it is necessary.

Taoist Priest Xuanming also wanted the Heavenly Master to think it over clearly. There was no need to argue with them just for a few old ladies and lose his merits.

Facing Taoist Xuanming's question, Zhang Xuanqing said, "Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, how can you do things without finishing them? Since I have already cast the spell, how can I take it back halfway? Besides, who said that I will definitely lose my good deeds and merits?"

Zhang Xuanqing smiled.

Who told you that I would lose merit after those old ladies died of advanced cancer?

Taoist Xuanming asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xuanqing waved his hand, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his palm shook.

Several gray-white evil ghosts were drilling in and out of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, creating a spooky atmosphere.

Still don’t understand?

Zhang Xuanqing: "After those old guys die, I just need to lure their souls away before the underworld. As long as their souls can't reach the underworld, the underworld can't investigate their accounts. How can they put this account on my head?"

Zhang Xuanqing sneered: Don’t you know the basic legal knowledge? Brother Xuanming?

In a court there are plaintiffs and defendants.

I cast a spell to kill those old ladies. It cannot be discovered in the world of the living, but it will definitely be discovered by the King of Hell in the underworld.

But if I could get there before the King of Hell and take away the souls of those old ladies, without the plaintiff, where would the defendant come from?

As long as the underworld cannot snatch the soul, the case does not exist. How can one's merits be deducted?
Listening to the Taoist priest's words, Taoist Xuanming broke out in a sweat.

Ah this...

Is it true that we are fighting against the underworld to snatch people away?

Master, don't do anything rash. If you do this, the nature of the situation will change!
If this gets discovered, it won't be a joke.

Taoist Priest Xuanming feels that the Heavenly Master has become more and more crazy recently.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a method. As long as the Heavenly Master can do it, then he can indeed conceal the truth from the world. It's just that this plan is a little too risky and bold.

Zhang Xuanqing looked at the sweat on Taoist Xuanming's forehead and reminded Xuanming.

"Brother, as I said before, a man cannot stand firm unless he is ruthless. Things have developed to this point. If I withdraw my magic at this time, and those old ladies have a good end, then it will indirectly confirm the truth that I, Longhushan, did cast magic to harm people.

So this round was destined to end in death from the moment they first came to Longhu Mountain to defraud money, good people are often bullied..."

Zhang Xuanqing had to remind Xuanming.

Those who want to achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. Since you have chosen to take this path, you must go all the way to the end. When you set foot on this path, there is no chance to turn back.

If you hesitate and choose to go half way and go half way, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.

Zhang Xuanqing did not take back his magic, allowing the old ladies to die naturally from advanced cancer.

Even if the rumors spread louder and more people said that their cancer was caused by the spell cast by the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, the outside world had no solid evidence to prove anything.

But if Zhang Xuanqing withdraws the spell, those old ladies will not die, and the nature of the situation will change.

Patients with advanced cancer, as everyone knows, will not live more than a year.

The real problem is to withdraw the magic and keep those old ladies alive.

Everything would be true only if those old ladies were still alive.

Therefore, it was impossible for Zhang Xuanqing to withdraw the spell.

They must die!
