Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 463 Monks and Taoists Visit, Three-Way Battle Ends in Setback

Chu Danqing was unaware of what happened next; she only received a letter from Chai Ziheng after returning home.

The letter said that he was taking Chai Bai back to the prefectural city to rest during her pregnancy, and would no longer stay in Xuyang Town.

This struck Chu Danqing as odd; he was certain that something must have happened in between.

But since the person has already left, there's no need to dwell on it.

He thought that was the end of it, but it wasn't.

Ten days later, a group of monks and Taoists entered Xuyang Town in a horse-drawn carriage.

Everyone was curious about this appearance.

I've seen monks and Taoists before, but I've never seen so many of them gathered together.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing followed suit.

The carriage carrying the monks and Taoists headed towards Hulukou and finally stopped at Baoren Hall.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jingnian quickly came out to deal with it.

"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Jingnian asked.

"We have been entrusted by the Chai family to come to Baorentang to exorcise demons and monsters." The leading Taoist priest said, "Your wife Bai Zhenniang and her maid Biqing'er are a white snake demon and a green snake demon."

"I stole three treasures from the Chai family to support you."

"When the young master of the Chai family came to demand it, he was humiliated instead. The young mistress of the Chai family, who was pregnant, had her right hand broken by your wife."

"That's why the master hired us today," the leading Taoist priest said.

These few words completely baffled Xu Jingnian.

Something doesn't seem right.

"Please wait, everyone. I am Young Master Chu. Please say a few words for me." Xu Jingnian saw Chu Dan who was watching and quickly called out.

Upon seeing this, Chu Danqing immediately said, "I don't know the inside story, so I can't help you with anything."

The words spoken by these monks and Taoist priests are largely true.

Chai Ziheng eloped for Chai Baishi, but then defied societal norms and went back to his parents.

This shows that Chai Ziheng was truly pushed to the limit.

It can be confirmed from the conversation with Chai Ziheng that if you provoke him, he will endure it because he has been tortured since he was released a year ago.

But if you touch his wife and children, Chai Ziheng is truly willing to risk his life.

Bai Zhenniang may not kill people, but she will kill demons.

Therefore, Chu Danqing had no intention of helping; instead, he was just there to watch the show.

"Bah! You monks and Taoists, you're just here to ruin my marriage!" Bai Zhenniang came out carrying her twin swords and scolded, "Although I am a woman, I was a disciple of the Holy Mother Jin Ci before my marriage."

"Since you've come here today, I'll have a good fight with you, so that you blind monks and Taoists will know what the true orthodox Xuanmen is."

The monks and Taoists initially didn't believe it, but when Bai Zhenniang mentioned that she was a disciple of the Holy Mother Jin Ci, they immediately realized that Bai Zhenniang was a demon.

It's not impossible to become an apprentice of celestial beings, but the problem is that such people would never openly discuss these matters.

Only monsters would casually use someone else's name to deceive others.

Bai Zhenniang picked up her sword and began to cast a spell, fighting the monk and the Taoist priest alone.

She was highly skilled in Taoism, had been trained in the Peach Garden, and had even drunk the finest nectar; she could be considered a semi-immortal.

Although these monks and Taoists possessed spiritual cultivation, they were ultimately just mortals.

They were no match for Bai Zhenniang in a fight. After only three exchanges, they were all immobilized by Bai Zhenniang's magic.

He was then hung up and whipped for a while.

Chu Danqing's eyes twitched at the sight; these monks and Taoists were truly doomed.

"You say my servant and I are snake demons? I think you monks and Taoists are the real demons in disguise." Bai Zhenniang knew that defeating these monks and Taoists was just the beginning.

Next, I need to find a way to get rid of the title of snake demon, otherwise my reputation will be ruined.

After all, so many people are watching.

After saying that, she pointed at the group of monks and Taoists who were tied up and exhaled.

The energy swirled around the group of monks and Taoists, and then they saw that the bound monks and Taoists had transformed into various pigs, dogs, toads, and so on.

"Ha, who are you calling a monster? It turns out you're the monsters!" Bai Zhenniang immediately said. "Everyone, take a good look! These evil Taoist priests and monks are causing trouble here. How despicable!"

The onlookers whispered amongst themselves; they didn't care who was telling the truth or not, they were just watching for fun.

Chu Danqing shook his head. These guys were really unlucky; they were turned into animals by Bai Zhenniang's magic.

I don't know if it can be changed back.

"Kill them! Kill these evil Taoists and monks!" Someone shouted, and they were about to make a move.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing knew that things could not continue.

He was doing this for Xu Jingnian's own good; if these monks and Taoists really died here, things would get complicated.

Chu Danqing had heard the Tongxuan Immortal preach before and could tell that these monks and Taoists were from legitimate and orthodox schools of Taoism.

The possibility of them doing evil is unlikely, otherwise they would have been expelled from the organization long ago.

If they die here, their fellow disciples, masters, and uncles will certainly not let it go.

Bai Zhenniang was also startled by these words. She only wanted to ruin the reputation of these monks and Taoists, but she did not expect them to actually die here.

She herself came from a semi-orthodox sect of Taoism, so she naturally knew about the trouble that would follow.

If she hadn't descended to the mortal realm and had died at the hands of some demons while still working as a leaf-sweeping maiden in the Peach Garden, then Fairy Ruizhi would have avenged her. Even higher up, the Holy Mother Jinci would have intervened.

But that won't work now. She has been demoted to the mortal realm and has nothing to do with her former self.

She was just about to speak when Chu Danqing spoke first.

"Everyone, Heaven cherishes life." As soon as Chu Danqing spoke, Da Bao immediately went berserk, fearless, and unleashed its tearing claws, along with the power of blood rage. Its imposing aura immediately subdued everyone on the spot.

"Although these monsters are using the names of monks and Taoists to commit evil, wouldn't their indiscriminate killing ruin your fortune and the local feng shui?"

"Why don't you leave it to me? I'll handle it. What do you think?" Chu Danqing said.

With his words, Bai Zhenniang also stood up and echoed, "Since it is Young Master Chu, I can naturally trust him, so I will trouble Young Master Chu."

Chu Danqing did not answer the other party's question, but gave her a warning look.

The meaning is very clear: stop causing trouble, this is definitely not over.

Then they took action and caught all the pigs, dogs, toads, and the like.

The monks and Taoists understood that Chu Danqing was trying to save them, so they all cooperated very well.

Chu Danqing then spent some money to buy a donkey cart.

They put all the monks and Taoists on donkey carts and took them out of Xuyang Town.

After leaving the town, they found a secluded spot and had Big White use the Spirit Healing Technique to try and heal them and remove the transformations from their bodies.

But it didn't work.

"Oh no, I can't break your spell." Chu Danqing hadn't expected Bai Zhenniang's magic to be so powerful.

It seems like it wasn't like this before, but it feels like it's increased a lot in the past year.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to Jiangtian Temple to find Zen Master Wende." Chu Danqing had another solution.

For summoners, connections are very important, and Master Wende can be considered one of his connections.

Therefore, he brought them to Jiangtian Temple.

Zen Master Wende had been waiting for a long time. He simply took a few drops of nectar and sprinkled them, and the monks and Taoists who had been transformed into pigs, dogs and toads were restored.

“Everyone, this experience of entering the world and being entangled in karma has been a profound lesson,” said Zen Master Wende. “After returning to the mountain, cultivate your mind and do not become obsessed with worldly affairs.”

"It's not too late to go down the mountain when you're still and ready to move."

As for giving up revenge, Zen Master Wende would never say that.

He knew the whole story. If Bai Zhenniang hadn't sent Biqing'er to steal treasure from the Chai family, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

The monks and Taoists all knew that Zen Master Wende was highly accomplished, and they all agreed.

He then turned to thank Chu Danqing and expressed his gratitude for saving his life, saying that he could call them if he needed anything in the future. He then told Chu Danqing his Taoist name and Buddhist name.

Yes, this is the contact information.

If Chu Danqing encounters any trouble, he can simply state their Taoist or Buddhist names, and they will sense it and come to his aid.

The monks and Taoist priests who practice the Dharma naturally feel grateful and want to repay the kindness shown to them.

After they finished speaking, everyone left.

However, there were also honest people who rode the clouds to the Chai residence and told the Chai family about their defeat in the magical duel.

"Speaking of which, Bai Zhenniang's cultivation seems to have improved considerably. Zen Master Wende, do you have any clues?" Chu Danqing asked.

Zen Master Wende remained silent, as if he wanted to keep quiet.

“I understand, Master knows, but you can’t say, right?” Chu Danqing said.

Zen Master Wende didn't lie, and he was also familiar with Chu Danqing, so it wouldn't be good to speak directly, and thus he remained silent.

"May I ask, Master, what are you planning to do while you are here in the mortal world?" Chu Danqing changed the subject.

“Layman, the incense offerings at Jiangtian Temple are not very popular. This old monk wishes to sculpt another sandalwood body for the statue of the Great Master Ganlu,” Zen Master Wende suddenly said.

"You're short of money? I happen to have some." Chu Danqing said, reaching for her wallet.

Zen Master Wende reached out and grabbed Chu Danqing's hand, saying, "Therefore, we need to send monks to Xuyang Town to fetch some sandalwood."

"I only hope that you will not be too generous. When the Buddha statue is consecrated, I will definitely invite you to attend the ceremony."

Chu Danqing withdrew his hand; he understood clearly that he was being told not to donate.

Otherwise, once the monks entered Xuyang Town, Chu Danqing would have simply taken out a box of gold, which would have been enough not only to gather enough gold, but also to renovate Jiangtian Temple.

But Zen Master Wende's purpose was neither sandalwood nor consecration, but the process of transforming sandalwood.

Chu Danqing understood that Master Wende's words were telling him the reason for staying in the human world.

The time hasn't come yet. When Chu Danqing is invited to attend the ceremony, she'll understand why.

“Alright, since the master has given the order, I will be stingy this time.” Chu Danqing agreed.

Although he didn't know what the other party was up to, Chu Danqing just had to wait and see since they wouldn't say.

“That is the way to go.” A smile appeared on Zen Master Wende’s face, and then he said, “I see that you, layman, are about to encounter some misfortune. Why don’t you go to the Western Paradise to avoid it?”

"I have some influence with you, so I can introduce the Eight Heavenly Dragons to discuss the Dao with you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but since it is a disaster, we should not try to avoid it. It would be better to resolve it."

The trial mission is right here; there's no way to escape it.

Once he leaves Jinjiang Prefecture, he'll probably be forced to return on the spot.

Therefore, I have no choice but to stay in Jinjiang Prefecture.
