"I'll tell you, Lord Luosha needs living souls to nourish his own spirit, especially those that have been visited by gods and Buddhas, whose souls still have some divine aura left on them."
"Hmph! I'm afraid it's more than that?" Zhang Haoran's face turned cold.
"Well..., indeed, just like Mr. and Mrs. Li, because of the various karmas they have with the immortals and Buddhas, they will surely be blessed in their next life, and eating this will be of great benefit to them."
The little ghost stuttered and continued: "You also know, sir, those immortals and Buddhas pay the most attention to cause and effect, so..."
"So you just turn a blind eye and let someone come and settle the debt, right?" Zhang Haoran snorted coldly.
Especially the Buddhist sect, he understood their nature and behavior best. Wasn’t the old ancestor Hongyun the best proof of this?
Can't pay it back? Then destroy it!
After hearing what Zhang Haoran said, the little ghost did not dare to answer, for fear that he would end up like his other companions.
Zhang Haoran didn't let it worry for too long. He directly searched its soul and destroyed it with his hand.
Then he chose a direction and flew away.
The dim environment of the underworld is the same as usual. In a valley made of piles of bones, there is a hall.
Zhang Haoran appeared in the sky, looked down, and with a slight exploration of his spiritual sense, he locked onto the target.
"Black Rakshasa, get out!"
The sound rolled like thunder, shaking the surroundings and causing mountains of bones to fall.
"Who! Who dares to act so presumptuously here?"
The voice came from the hall, and a huge figure appeared.
"It's you!"
Black Rakshasa recognized Zhang Haoran at first sight.
Zhang Haoran smiled slightly. Just as he thought, this guy knew of his existence.
In fact, Black Rakshasa had been secretly watching him through Yuan Tianba, wanting to see who dared to ruin his plan.
The already ferocious face of the Black Rakshasa became even more sinister, and his anger surged.
He breathed heavily and laughed wildly: "I was planning to eat you alive after I got out, but I didn't expect you to come to my door."
"Hahaha, very good! Very good!" Black Rakshasa's eyes immediately became hot, as if he had seen some delicious food in the world.
He immediately swung the huge chain in his hand and couldn't wait to take action.
"Hmph, where do you get your confidence from?" Zhang Haoran was dismissive of its performance.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s because of this world itself.
Black Rakshasa is a terrifying existence that even Guanyin of this world has mentioned. During the lunar calendar and the dark time of the year, when the blood moon is in the sky, Black Rakshasa will reappear on earth.
Judging from Guanyin's tone at the time, it seemed as if no one could stop her.
Facing the huge chain that Black Rakshasa broke through the air, Zhang Haoran drew out the Xuanyuan Sword calmly.
Even if you speak slowly, it seems like an instant.
The Xuanyuan Sword was swung by Zhang Haoran.
A golden light that seemed to be able to cut through the void flashed by.
Then, silence fell all around.
Black Rakshasa's movement of throwing the chain froze in place the moment the golden light flashed.
The huge eyes were filled with disbelief.
Just when it seemed to want to ask something, its body began to collapse piece by piece, and with a loud bang, it disappeared into thin air.
Zhang Haoran shook his head, looking nonchalant, and disappeared as a streak of light.
He returned all the way to Li's Mansion and put the souls he brought back back into their original bodies.
Naturally, Li Xiuyuan was not deliberately avoided in all this.
"This..., you..."
Obviously, Li Xiuyuan wanted to ask what was going on.
After they regained consciousness, Zhang Haoran reunited their family before turning his attention to him.
Li Xiuyuan was still speechless as he watched the two families not far away crying with joy.
"Compared to you Buddhists who disregard their lives and manipulate them at will, do you have any objection to my approach?" Zhang Haoran said meaningfully.
"This...fellow Daoist, you know everything!" Li Xiuyuan was slightly shocked.
"Hmph." Zhang Haoran didn't give a good look, snorted coldly, and didn't comment.
“So what if I know? It’s just because you, Arhat Jiang Long, made a bet with a bunch of stupid immortals and Buddhas in heaven that you came to this mortal world to play with them at will.
Let an old lady in her seventies give birth to a child, let a couple who are looking forward to having a successor give birth to a fan, you think this is amazing and fun, right? "
Zhang Haoran became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he started to spray Jianglong in front of him without caring about anything.
"This...Brother Dao, everything is determined by fate. In the next life..."
"Fuck you!" Zhang Haoran kicked him out after hearing the same words again.
"Boom~"
As a group of houses collapsed, Jianglong, who was buried in the bricks and stones, began to cough.
"Hey~ Brother Dao, why are you so angry? God has his own arrangements for all this!" Jianglong did not expect Zhang Haoran to be so angry, but seeing that Zhang Haoran's words always protected the people, he did not get angry and planned to give a good explanation.
"Stop! Don't tell me what their next life is like." Zhang Haoran knew what he was going to say and interrupted him first.
"You know if I hadn't gone to the underworld, their souls would have been eaten by the Black Rakshasa long ago, let alone the afterlife you mentioned!"
"This...how is this possible!" Jianglong was surprised and confused.
Zhang Haoran was not one to be unreasonable, and he immediately told Jiang Long everything he had seen and heard.
They even specifically said that it was an act condoned by Buddhism, simply because they did not want to repay the so-called karmic debts.
"Haha, do you really think that it will be as you imagined, that they will live freely and prosperously in the afterlife?" Zhang Haoran couldn't help but say with contempt.
Indeed, Jianglong did think so, but after hearing Zhang Haoran's story, his expression never stopped changing.
But he still didn't quite believe it. Then he thought of something and said cautiously, "How do I know if what you said is true? If you're not some big devil instigating this, how can I believe you?"
Zhang Haoran did not comment or say anything. He took out the soul of Black Rakshasa, which he had left behind specifically for this moment.
"Well, I have killed the Black Rakshasa. If you don't believe me, you can search his soul."
Jianglong was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took it.
Zhang Haoran knew what would happen next, so he simply walked away and looked towards the horizon.
As expected, although Jianglong was cynical, he always maintained his belief in Buddhism.
When he knew that everything was true, his so-called faith collapsed in an instant.
Hearing the roars coming from behind him, Zhang Haoran knew that Jianglong might be about to fall into evil.
In an instant, evil clouds swept in from the horizon and covered the sky in a moment.
Then a terrifying whirlpool formed and poured energy into Jianglong's body.
And his aura became increasingly terrifying.
"How dare you! You demon from outside the realm, you actually dare to ruin the good deeds of our Buddhist sect! Die!"
The sky, which was originally covered by dark clouds, was torn apart by a ray of Buddha's light, and an extremely huge palm pressed towards Zhang Haoran.
"Haha, am I a demon from outside the domain?" Zhang Haoran sneered when he heard that.
With his current strength, he is naturally no match for Tathagata. Just when he was about to call out the system panel to leave this world first, he found that his system had no response at all.
"System! System! I want to return!..."
Seeing the giant palm getting closer and closer, the terrifying aura locked him tightly and he could not escape at all.
Zhang Haoran was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He became more and more anxious and kept calling the system.
However, there was no response at all.
“It’s over…!”
"Boom~"
As Zhang Haoran's pupils contracted, the reflected golden giant palm had already fallen...
……
"Bang~!"
In the familiar company dormitory on Blue Star, Zhang Haoran suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
"Shhh... Fortunately, this is just a dream. Hmm? No, this is..."
Zhang Haoran looked around at the familiar environment, and tentatively called out to the system with some disbelief.
After waiting for a while to make sure there was no response, he smiled bitterly and said, "Haha, it's really just a dream."
