The face of the God of Mount Tai was filled with anger. He was extremely surprised that the Heavenly Canopy Divine Incantation could harm him.
Although he was hiding inside the stone statue, his divine sense was still pierced by the thunder. There was a charred black hole on his forehead, like burnt paper ash, flickering with a faint red light.
"How daring!"
The God of Mount Tai was a bit enraged. He revealed a Dharma form even larger than that of the white - jade Avalokitesvara. He grabbed the screen made of Mount Tai stone on the ground and threw it at Si Jiangchen. "How dare a zombie attempt to kill a god?!"
Except for me and the monk with the Heavenly Eye Ability, everyone else only saw the one - person - tall stone screen on the ground leap into the air. With a whistling sound, it rushed towards us. If we were hit by this huge stone, even as century - old zombies, we would be smashed into minced meat!
Although I knew that Si Jiangchen would never let me get hurt, seeing the menacing stone, I couldn't help but close my eyes...
There was Si Jiangchen's cold laugh in my ear. He held me in one arm and quickly drew something in the air with the other, seemingly drawing a talisman.
He didn't even bother to dodge.
Then there was a strong gust of wind. Countless cracks immediately appeared on the huge stone. Right in front of us, it shattered into pieces. A few flying gravels splashed towards me. Si Jiangchen casually waved his hand twice and swatted away the flying stones as if they were flies.
Mount Tai stones are always well - known for their solidity and heaviness. Not to mention using something as intangible as a talisman, even a steel chisel might not be able to pierce it quickly!
However, Si Jiangchen could do it. He must be a guy with great supernatural powers. Otherwise, how could he subdue the real with the intangible and claim to be on familiar terms with the messengers of the Underworld?
After a successful strike, Si Jiangchen didn't hesitate. Before the God of Mount Tai could dodge, he had already drawn another Soul - Suppressing Talisman in his hand and slapped it on the god's calf.
The Dharma form was like a bubble. The floating talisman, glinting with a faint golden light, passed through the God of Mount Tai's body and immediately embedded itself into his soul body.
"Hiss!"
A faint sound of burning reached my ears. Only then did I slowly open my eyes.
I saw the God of Mount Tai looking incredulous. He desperately tried to reach out and pull off the talisman that had turned into golden light and was flowing through his Thirteen Ghostly Meridians. However, the golden light was a flowing thing and was lurking in the god's body meridians. Even if he tore his soul body to pieces, he might not be able to escape the confinement of Si Jiangchen's talisman.
I never knew that the Soul - Suppressing Talisman had such great magical power!
The masters of the Maoshan School had taught me the Soul - Pacifying Incantation and the Ghost - Subduing Incantation, which were just some incantations to soothe the souls of the dead and calm their resentment. Who would have thought that a talisman that even someone who had learned a bit of Taoism could draw, in Si Jiangchen's hands, could not only confine ghosts and gods but also deal a fatal blow to the God of Mount Tai?
Wherever the golden light of the talisman passed, the God of Mount Tai's soul body began to turn black and rot, just like a withered leaf being ignited by a raging fire. Slowly but steadily, it turned everything it passed into charred black...
"...... How daring!!"
The God of Mount Tai was really panicked this time. He never thought that as a real god, he would be cornered by a mere zombie wandering in the mortal world!
Apart from cursing Si Jiangchen, this ancient god didn't know what else to do to save himself.
At this moment, seeing that her backer was completely useless, Lu Ling simply gave up all hopes. She turned into a mass of black mist and fled towards the temple door.
Everyone was focused on the battle between Si Jiangchen and the God of Mount Tai.
Although it seemed that only Si Jiangchen was performing a one - man show, everyone could see the faint golden light constantly wandering in the air!
Master Yongshan and the others were not ignorant commoners. They naturally knew that this was the supreme Taoism power fighting against non - human beings...
So, Lu Ling managed to escape outside the temple door with her ghostly speed.
"Stop! You can't escape!"
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Ling about to escape from over Si Jiangchen's shoulder. I quickly shouted.
"Hehe, you little bitch! I'm not playing with you guys today!"
Lu Ling had already stepped out of the threshold. She still spoke harsh words. "When I regain my vitality, none of you will survive!"
"Oh? Do you think you can regain your vitality?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door. A young man in a casual suit appeared in front of Lu Ling, his back against the light.
The moment Lu Ling saw the man, she was even more terrified than when she saw a Taoist priest. Her body immediately trembled like a sieve and she collapsed on the ground, curling up into a ball.
"Ah!! Mr. Gu?!"
I squinted my eyes and finally recognized the person.
Wasn't he Lu Xiyu's husband, Gu Fancheng, the man we had met once?
"Why are you here?"
I asked excitedly. This Mr. Gu was no ordinary person. With him here, Lu Ling couldn't escape, and there would be no future troubles for us!
However, I had heard before that there seemed to be some trouble in the Gu family. That was why Lu Tianchang, Lu Ling's father, had rushed there in a hurry. Later, although he came back to help us in the shop, I was too busy with the chaotic situation to ask about the situation of the Gu family!
Now that I saw Gu Fancheng come to the Great Avalokitesvara Temple in person and obviously come to help us, it seemed that the trouble in his family should have been solved!
"......"
Gu Fancheng was as cold as ice. He didn't answer my two questions. He just reached out, grabbed Lu Ling's soul, gently squeezed it into a small ball of light, and put it into his pocket.
"Xiyu said you were in trouble. I'm here to help."
After doing all this, Gu Fancheng sized up the situation in the Avalokitesvara Hall. He squinted his eyes and said, "...... It seems that you've already been able to solve it on your own... Well, I'll go back. There are only Baobao and the others taking care of Xiyu now. I'm still a bit worried."
Gu Fancheng was truly a wife - spoiling maniac. He had only been here for a few seconds, and he was already about to go back!
"Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, the God of Mount Tai, who was almost unable to resist under the burning power of Si Jiangchen's talisman, struggled to reach out his hand towards Gu Fancheng. "I... I recognize you!!"
Gu Fancheng was slightly stunned and sized up the God of Mount Tai.
"Great Demon!! You're the ancient great demon in the deepest part of the Underworld who doesn't want to wake up, right!"
The charred part on the God of Mount Tai's body increased while he was speaking. "I'm the God of Mount Tai, the first god in the Underworld who is in charge of life and death!!"
I was suddenly shocked.
So this Mr. Gu was actually a figure from the Underworld?! And he seemed to have a very high status?!
Since he was an ancient demon god, he should be an old acquaintance of this ancient god, the God of Mount Tai...
