Chapter 24: Abbot, can you take a beating?
Kill the evil spirit and you will be rewarded with [Tianshi Evil Thunder], [Cultivation +100 Years], and Merit +10!
It's all good stuff.

Tianshi's evil thunder, a kind of thunder from heaven and earth!
It is the origin of thunder, and after swallowing it, it can increase the power of thunder magic.

Not to mention the +100 years of cultivation and 10 merits.

They are all resources for increasing strength.

Zhang Xuanqing directly extracted the [Tianshi Evil Thunder].

A source of thunder appeared in his hand.

This source of thunder is similar to a drop of sticky ink the size of a walnut.

Pure black, lightning arcs wrapped around the source, flowing silently.

Just by holding it in his hand, Zhang Xuanqing could already feel the horror of the thunder power contained in this origin.

It is more powerful than the thunder magic he currently has.

After refining, the thunder can be strengthened.

"nice one."

Zhang Xuanqing swallowed the source of the evil thunder in one gulp, and refined it immediately with the Great Ni Sanqing Gong.

The Great Reverse Three Purities and Five Thunders Righteous Method that Zhang Xuanqing practiced are themselves Taoist thunder attributes. Under the same attribute conditions, the speed of devouring and absorbing the origin of thunder is faster.

After he swallowed the origin, the lightning source was refined by his body almost instantly. The black lightning traveled through his five internal organs and directly merged with the thunder method in Zhang Qingxiao's body.

The refining was successful, plus the blessing of a hundred years of cultivation.

Zhang Xuanqing exhaled a breath of black air, and blood flashed in his eyes. Then the entire pupil was covered with black, turning into a pure black eyeball.

He raised his right hand, and the black lightning wrapped in his palm stuck to his hand like ink.

It is sticky and slippery, seemingly silent and ordinary, but it contains endless thunder pressure and is extremely terrifying.

Zhang Xuanqing: "The Heavenly Master's Evil Thunder, it really has an evil aura, but it's good enough as long as it works."

Zhang Xuanqing snapped his fingers and a black water mine arc flew out from his fingertips.

It shot onto a stone on the side of the road, and a trace of lightning arc actually penetrated the stone in an instant, and had a corrosive effect.

Zhang Xuanqing was very satisfied with the power of this evil thunder.

No matter how it looks, what matters is whether it is practical or not.

He had just refined the Heavenly Master's Evil Thunder.

A voice sounded behind him.

"Amitabha, is the donor Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion?"

Listen to the Buddhist name entering my ears.

Zhang Xuanqing turned his head and took a look.

An old monk and a young monk stood behind him.

Zhang Xuanqing dispersed the black thunder in his hand and said, "It's me, Master, what can I do for you?"

The old monk smiled and said, "I am Shi Zhen, the abbot of Xiankong Temple on Xiankong Mountain in Yuntai City. I just came from Xizhuang Village. I heard that Zhang Tianshi killed a thousand-year-old fox demon in Xizhuang Village last night. His merits are immeasurable, so I came to see you.

I didn’t expect this generation of Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Masters to be so young. The Heavenly Masters are young and promising.”

The old monk's Buddhist name is Shi Zhen, and he is the abbot of Xiankong Temple. At this moment, he is speaking to Zhang Xuanqing with a smile.

Xiankong Temple is located in Yuntai City, not far from Longhu Mountain, and is right next to Longhu City where Longhu Mountain is located.

The status of Xiankong Temple in Yuntai City is almost equivalent to that of Longhu Mountain in Longhu City. Both are basically city landmarks.

Although Xiankong Temple does not have as long a history as Longhu Mountain with more than 2000 years of history, it also has considerable heritage and does have a 1000-year heritage.

It has survived so many dynasties and is now a major Buddhist temple.

Zhang Xuanqing looked at the old guy and could feel that he was not simple.

In Buddhism, those with the Buddhist name "Shi" are not simple.

In Buddhism, the four generations of [Shi, Jue, Wu, Kong] are all the realms of Buddhist practice. Among them, the generation of "Shi" is the highest level, and the Buddha Shakyamuni is also a generation of "Shi".

This old man calls himself Shi Zhen, which means he is the most powerful, accomplished and senior person in Xiankong Temple.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Xuanqing.

Zhang Xuanqing said, "Old monk, if you have something to say, just speak directly. Don't beat around the bush. You didn't come here just to flatter me, did you?"

This old monk followed me all the way from Xizhuang Village just to flatter me?
Zhang Xuanqing told him to fart quickly if he had anything to fart, or get out of here if he didn’t.

The relationship between Taoism and Buddhism has never been very good. In recent years, Buddhism has developed rapidly and squeezed out Taoism. Zhang Xuanqing also doesn't like this group of bald Buddhist monks.

Abbot Shi Zhen listened to what Zhang Xuanqing said.

He smiled and said, "Tianshi, I just passed by Xizhuang Village to beg for alms and saw you accepting red envelopes from the villagers. But I heard before that the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain who killed demons don't accept red envelopes. Your behavior..."

Zhang Xuanqing glanced at the old monk.

The old guy followed me all the way, it turned out that he saw me receiving the red envelope.

Zhang Xuanqing sneered: "Whether I accept the red envelope or not, what does it have to do with you? Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

Zhang Xuanqing said: I have been busy all night, so what's wrong with accepting a red envelope?
Besides, I didn't ask for it on my own initiative. It was given to me by the village chief, so it would be a waste if I don't take it.

And to put it bluntly, this thing is called a red envelope, normally it is called remuneration.

Isn't it normal to get paid for work?
Is it necessary for you to complain to me here?
Looking at the disgusted expression on Zhang Xuanqing's face.

Abbot Shi Zhen said: "Tianshi, don't be angry, I just said it casually and didn't mean to offend you.

However, I have heard people say in the past that your Taoist practice has always been about cultivating oneself internally and saving the world and others externally.

I thought it was true before, but I didn’t expect to see the Heavenly Master collecting money today, so I felt a little surprised.”

Zhang Xuanqing listened to what the old guy said.

Every sentence is yin and yang.

He asked, "Old monk, what do you want to say? If you came to this Yin-Yang seat on purpose, don't blame me for being merciless with my thunder magic."

Zhang Xuanqing didn't bother to talk to him.

If you continue to be yin and yang, don't blame me for beating you.

After Zhang Xuanqing finished speaking, the old monk saw that Zhang Xuanqing's expression changed.

He quickly said, "Don't be angry, Heavenly Master, I don't mean that. What I mean is that you Taoists believe in saving the world and saving people. If that's the case, Heavenly Master, can you make a good relationship with me today?

The Xiankong Temple where the old monk works is building a new Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, so incense is in short supply.

I just passed by Xizhuang Village and wanted to beg for alms from the villagers, but the village chief told me that all the red envelopes were taken away by you, the Taoist priest, so I came over to ask you.

Can the Heavenly Master give me the money from Xizhuang Village to help me build a pagoda in Xiankong Temple? It will be a great merit. "

Zhang Xuanqing listened to what Master Shi Zhen said.

After listening for a long time, he finally understood.

This old monk spoke in a roundabout way. Now I finally understand what he meant.

So you're here to beg for alms.

I passed by Xizhuang Village and wanted to beg for money to build the pagoda in your temple. The village chief of Xizhuang Village had just given a red envelope to Zhang Xuanqing.

The old monk didn't get the money, so he chased after Zhang Xuanqing.

Zhang Xuanqing's face darkened.

Okay, okay,
Is it time to beg for alms? It’s the Taoist priest’s turn?

What you mean is that you want to use the Taoist's money to repair your Buddhist pagoda?
So all the work I did all night was for you?
Zhang Xuanqing couldn't hold it back and laughed.

At the same time, the black evil thunder turned into black water and spread silently from under his feet.

Then Zhang Xuanqing clenched his fist and asked, "Abbot, can you take a beating?"
