Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 309 The Initial Establishment of the Fengdu Legal Religion
The City God vanished in a puff of smoke, followed closely by the six ghosts. The Cuiya Residence was now completely empty. The living room, which had initially felt chilly upon entering, was gradually warming up...

Tan Baiwan knew he had met a true master.

All the experts he had encountered in his years of business were utter rubbish, none of them could compare to the judge and chief judge Li Xuan before him.

The family members outside, under Tan Baiwan's invitation, walked in meekly. They also saw the legendary City God, and at this moment they dared not underestimate Li Xuan in the slightest.

Ignoring the fact that it was the middle of the night, Tan Baiwan immediately took out a hundred taels of silver and asked his steward to go to the restaurant to invite a chef to prepare a banquet!

Money can move mountains and make the devil turn the millstone. Encouraged by the silver notes, the owner of Cuixianglou immediately got out of bed, had the chef prepare the dishes, and then pushed them to Tan Baiwan's house on a small cart.

The boss was shrewd; he knew that Tan Baiwan was a very shrewd businessman. Anyone who could get him to hold a banquet in the middle of the night must be a very important guest!
He arrived at Tan Baiwan's house with the chef and waiter. Upon meeting him, he cupped his hands and smiled broadly, saying, "When I learned that Master Tan was holding a banquet in a hurry, I didn't even have time to put on my shoes properly before I asked the waiter to prepare the dishes."

I just wonder where this distinguished guest comes from?
Liu liked making friends and wanted to join in the fun.

Tan Baiwan immediately saw through his thoughts and chuckled, "Mr. Liu, please leave. Even I dare not neglect this distinguished guest in the slightest. If something were to happen, you and I would be lucky to lose our heads..."

They have the ability to communicate with the underworld. Once you're dead, they'll beat you until your soul is scattered and you'll never be reincarnated.

He secretly thought.

Mr. Liu was startled and subconsciously glanced towards the hall, where he saw a young man in a shirt sitting there.

He thought to himself, "Could he be someone who returned from overseas? That wouldn't be that outrageous. Could he be from the palace, or from Yuan Shikai's side... No, even though Tan Baiwan is rich, in the eyes of those influential figures, he's just a fat chicken that can be killed at will. There's no need for such a thing."

Tan Baiwan remained adamant, leaving Boss Liu with no choice but to return home.

At the banquet, Li Xuan sat in the main seat, while Tan Baiwan sat to the side, introducing the dishes on the table.

Li Xuan did not refuse Tan Baiwan's invitation to the banquet. If everyone refused the kindness of others, then later generations who wanted to do good deeds would be "morally" bound by their predecessors and forced to decline, wouldn't that harm others? Later generations would only do fewer and fewer good deeds.

Late at night, the table was laden with a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, featuring delicacies from land and sea.

tasty.

Li Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Tan, you've gone to a lot of trouble. I'm leaving here soon and heading to Baiyun Village."

Upon hearing this, Tan Baiwan thought, "Baiyun Village is only seven or eight miles away. Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry so late at night?"
He advised, "I truly admire the Grand Judge for his busy schedule. However, Baiyun Village is located in the east, and one must cross mountains and rivers. At night, there are many jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. Why not rest here and go during the day?" As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. The Grand Judge wasn't even afraid of ghosts, so why would he be afraid of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards?

I thought about it.

Tan Baiwan added, "If the Grand Judge insists on going, please take some travel expenses with you. In the mortal world, gold and silver are the most tempting things, and if used properly, they can save people from danger."

The family members next to him placed a package on the table with a thud; it was clearly filled with silver.

Li Xuan finished eating and stood up, saying, "I am no ordinary mortal. I can easily obtain money. You can do good deeds yourself, and the accumulated merit will surely bring blessings to your descendants."

He walked outside.

Tan Baiwan hurriedly said, "Great Judge, I am fortunate to have seen your true face today, and I am also eager to pursue the true meaning of the Dao in order to find the way to immortality. I beg you, Great Judge, to guide me through my confusion, and I will certainly do as you say!"

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Tan Baiwan kneeling on the ground, saying, "People in the world cannot distinguish between good and evil, and yin and yang are reversed. I want to establish the Fengdu Dharma Sect to enlighten all living beings, to help them learn to read and write, to know good and evil, to understand the principles of things, and to follow the law. Are you willing?" Upon hearing this, Tan Baiwan thought, "Establishing a sect, huh? If I can do it well, I can be considered an elder."

He quickly replied, "Yes!"

Li Xuan said, "The rules are strict and cannot be desecrated. From now on, anyone who gets involved in cheating, fraud, theft, or other crimes will be sent to hell for trial. Can you accept that?"

Tan Baiwan was stunned. After a long while, he said weakly, "When I was a child, I did some cheating and stealing to survive. When I was a merchant, I was tempted by greed and did some dishonorable things, but I never took anyone's life!"

Li Xuan remained silent for a moment, then said, “Here is a talisman. If it gets hot, it means I am looking for you. You only need to open your mind, and I will ask the ghost messengers to send you to hell to walk before the Mirror of Retribution. If you are truly innocent and have good in your heart, I will allow you to enter the Fengdu Fajiao to learn its doctrines and the ability to enlighten sentient beings.”

Tan Baiwan was terrified: "Go to hell?"

His face was filled with inner turmoil. Finally, he slammed his head heavily onto the ground, and with the determination of someone going to the battlefield to die, he said, "I am willing. If I cannot pass the Mirror of Retribution, then I have committed many evils and deserve to be punished! Even if I never return, it will be a way of indirectly ridding the world of a scourge..."

I never expected that Tan Baiwan, who only appeared for a few minutes in the movie, would have such a presence.

Li Xuan handed him a talisman, turned around, walked out of the courtyard, and disappeared.

Tan Baiwan stood in the courtyard, holding the talisman, lost in thought.

Family members gathered around, all showing expressions of worry.

Tears welled in his wife's eyes as she said, "My lord, are you really going to join this Fengdu Fa Cult? I just heard the judge say that we can't do anything bad, or we'll go to hell. We're really scared... Besides, what will we do if you leave?"

Tan Baiwan gave his wife a deep look and said, "Joining the sect is not the same as becoming a monk. The judge only asked me if I was willing to join the sect to assist in enlightening sentient beings, not to sever my ties with my family. Even Taoist priests can marry and have children, let alone your master who already has offspring..."

He carefully put the talisman into his pocket, looked at the courtyard gate and murmured, "I've enjoyed life to the fullest, it's time for me to have some real pursuits. Even if I can't become an immortal, I can at least protect you after I die."

……

Outside the courtyard, after listening to Tan Baiwan's words, Li Xuan disappeared into the darkness and headed out of the village.

Tan Baiwan said Baiyun Village is to the east.

Li Xuan headed east, disappearing into the darkness, speeding through the night at an astonishing pace!

Inside Baiyun Village, Maoshan Ming sat blankly in Baiyun Residence. The name sounded very elegant, but it was actually just a simple house with two men guarding the door of the room.

He ran away from Tan Baiwan's place, but when he broke into Baiyun Village, he was almost chopped up by the mentally challenged security captain, A Qiang.

Fortunately, a fellow Maoshan practitioner named Uncle Jiu in the village intervened and saved him. However, by sheer coincidence, bandits attacked that night, and the security team leader, A-Qiang, fearing that he would tip off the bandits, locked him up here.

Maoshan Ming, bored while sitting idly, took out his oil-paper umbrella and released two ghosts from it. They were named Da Bao and Xiao Bao, poor little ghosts he had accidentally encountered in the countryside.

Da Bao sniffed the air, then came to Uncle Ming and carefully sniffed him from head to toe. Then he took a few steps back in alarm and said, "Uncle Ming, you smell terrible. Are you dying? I can smell this on people who are about to die."
