All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 406 The Ghost-Suppressing Monk

As the ghost-headed chariot moved, mist rose, obscuring the surrounding scenery.

Ji Ran looked at his Path of Cause and Effect, and his experience points had dropped by 8%. In other words, with the reappearance of those ghosts, the things he had gained from killing them would also disappear.

Even the fire demon was rapidly wasting away, and with its squeaks, it transformed into a tiny demon about 1.5 meters tall.

Ji Ran raised his hand and made a hand seal. The fire demon let out a low growl and began to melt away in its unwilling gaze, turning into a drop of blood with golden flame patterns flowing on its surface. It fell into Ji Ran's palm and seeped into the tip of his thumb.

When each of the five fingertips has a drop of ghost blood, it signifies the completion of the Six Ghost Talisman, which can summon the Five Element Ghost Kings.

hum~
When the Ghost Head Chariot reappeared in the underworld, the Double Flower Red Stick also touched the Karma Diagram and saw that scene.

"This is?"

The Double Flower Red Stick, who did not understand Zi Yu well, failed to immediately notice the problem.

"memory."

Ji Ran pointed to the picture book and said, "The ghosts on the ground are actually memories that the spirits of the dead underground are unwilling to face. They are reflected in the mortal world and made into physical form by Zi Yu."

After a moment of contemplation, Shuanghua Honggun said, "So, they can't be killed because their true forms are still in the underworld."

"Should we just kill those two big monks later?"

"If the one in the underworld is the original body, wouldn't killing it directly erase the memories?"

"Hard to say."

Ji Ran turned the page, looking at the ferocious dragon-horned ghost king, and suddenly felt a sense of unease. Defeating this ghost king would be more difficult than he had imagined!
Previously, he was only thinking about how to save people and how to lead the people north, but he did not pay attention to the two illustrated guides.

No matter how strong the two demons are, their upper limit in this second-tier world is only the peak of level 6.

Although his current strength is suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, Ji Ran is confident that he can kill it with his supernatural weapons.

But now, the problem has changed.

Can killing the souls of the dead erase those memories? There is a crucial question here—the Dragon Horned Ghost King, this thing is obviously a creation of Zi Yu.

Who is its true form?

"Don't take any action yet, let's observe first."

"it is good."

now.

Fox Fairy didn't understand what was happening and quietly kept quiet. Li Hanzhang was still digesting the sword intent within his body.

Shuanghua Honggun noticed Ji Ran's caution and realized that this task was probably more important to Ji Ran than he had imagined.

The ghost-headed carriage stopped, and the four people got out.

Two monks, one tall and one thin, still stood before the Buddhist temple, its walls shrouded in the smoke of burning paper ash. This time, however, the two monks remained silent, merely smiling as they quietly watched Ji Ran and the others.

Brush and pull!

With a flick of his wrist, Shuanghua Honggun produced a short stick with one end shaped like a cone and the other end dangling a chain.

hum!
The right hand of the Double Flower Red Stick suddenly swelled into the huge forearm of the Mirage Ghost Scale Beast. The terrifying power made even a slight lift of his hand create a whirlwind around him!
Whoosh!
He flung the short stick out instantly, the terrifying force tearing through the air and creating a piercing shriek around it!

Endless paper ash was torn to shreds, and the mist in the air seemed to be pierced through, leaving a transparent trail!
boom! !

A terrifying force struck the two monks; a small, short stick, however, exploded like a thunderclap, shattering the Netherworld!

All you could see was a bulge rising from the ground, which then shattered into pieces, the spiderweb-like impact scattering and exploding in all directions, kicking up a sky full of old paper dust!
As a terrifying impact struck, Ji Ran raised his hand and slashed with his hand as a blade, unleashing a wind-cutting attack that deflected the impact in front of him.

However, the impact, though massive, was surprisingly gentle. Ji Ran picked it up and found it was actually a layer of fine paper ash. The vast land of the underworld was formed from the ash of paper offerings burned and worshipped in the mortal realm over countless years.

As the dust settled, the two monks shakily rose from the ashes, looking disheveled but unharmed. Firstly, the double-flowered red staffs were intended as a deterrent, and their impact point was some distance from the monks. Secondly, the impact had only stirred up ashes, posing little threat.

“Benefactor, you should restrain your anger and calm your mind.”

The tall, thin monk clasped his hands together, showing neither anger nor annoyance.

Ji Ran slowly walked towards the two of them and asked, "Do you know anything about what happened in the mortal realm?"

"Nature knows."

The big-headed monk put his palms together and said, "Once you leave the Buddhist land, you will remember your past and present lives. But under the teachings of our master, we have been able to uphold our original intentions. "I am now a Buddha of the past."

"And what about you in the future?"

Ji Ran stared into the monk's eyes and said coldly, "He has transformed into a demon in the mortal realm. What can you, a Buddha of the past, do about it?"

“You are unaware, benefactor. We are here to suppress evil spirits.”

"Ah."

Hu Yao, who had been listening in, roughly understood something and sneered, "I heard people say before in Huai River that the twenty-eight ancient temples in the South Kingdom all practice evil methods and blood sacrifices, and follow the path of sinister demons."

"I just don't know why the Taoist sect isn't taking action to clean it up."

"Now you're saying that the evil spirits you released are being suppressed in your own words?"

The tall, thin monk gently cupped his hands, a smile always on his face, and said, "We two are considered to have some wisdom. We can remain true to ourselves after knowing the future, and correct our mistakes."

"Six months ago, there were a few people here, but they all became their future selves because they remembered the future and couldn't control themselves."

"If I kill you, will that evil spirit in the mortal realm, which is your future self, disappear forever?"

Hearing this, Shuanghua Honggun bent down to pick up the broken stick from the ground and looked the monk over.

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, the big-headed monk didn't shy away from the question and gave the answer directly.

"But in the year since the purple rain fell, only the two of us can carry our memories and be the people we were in the past."

"The rest of them, once they leave the Buddhist Kingdom and regain their memories, will become their past selves again. They may even develop a fear of the Buddhist Kingdom and flee into the underworld, afraid to enter again."

"They felt that the Buddhist kingdom had stolen their souls and turned them into different people."

"pity."

The tall, thin monk continued, "They simply refuse to believe that the kind, spirited, compassionate, and passionate person they once were was not a fabricated character created by the Buddhist kingdom, but their former selves."

"If we both die, the evil spirits in reality can indeed disappear."

The big-headed monk opened his eyes and for the first time suppressed his smile, saying, "But without the two of us guarding the gate of the Buddhist kingdom, the souls inside without memories of the future will be able to come and go freely."

"The same applies to the mortal realm."

"Anyone who enters the Buddhist Kingdom will have their future memories reflected as a malevolent demon by the Purple Rain Dragon Plague."

“Once they leave the Buddhist realm and enter the underworld, the evil spirits from the outside world will follow them and walk in all the corresponding locations in the underworld.”

"At that time, there will be real evil spirits everywhere, and they will be immortal evil spirits."

Shuanghua Honggun exchanged a glance with Ji Ran and said, "Then if we kill them all, there won't be any evil spirits left?"

“You are truly a kind-hearted benefactor.”

The tall, thin monk cupped his hands and said, "The people in this Buddhist kingdom are all in a state of supreme wisdom and the strongest benevolence."

"Even if a celestial being or divine general descends to earth, killing some of them would likely diminish one's merit."

"We mortals, even if we really fight, we can't kill many before we are consumed by karmic fire."

The big-headed monk also sighed and said, "Slaying future evils is an endless task."

"To sever past good deeds is a burden one cannot bear."

"if……"

Suddenly, Ji Ran spoke up, saying, "Why don't we hide all the souls here?"

What about the evil spirits in the mortal realm?

"?"

The two monks were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and for the first time were at a loss.
