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

Chapter 317 Uncle Nine's Birthday
Seeing the slight surprise in Li Xuan's eyes, Uncle Nine immediately realized there was a misunderstanding and hurriedly explained, "This... he has a deep bond with the two ghosts and couldn't bear to see them suffer, so he burned his life essence to create an opportunity for them to escape..."

Li Xuan suddenly realized that Maoshan Ming had used his ultimate skill, "Burning Blood," but missed and ended up like this.

He even admired Maoshan Ming somewhat, saying, "There is order in the world. All the evil I see will be judged, including my own evil deeds, which will be brought to justice by Fengdu. Maoshan Ming, you haven't taken any lives yet, so be prepared to be punished. In my opinion, it's not too late."

According to the law, Maoshan Ming will only be punished after his death, so there's no need for him to rush to commit suicide now.

If one can do good deeds and accumulate merit in the rest of one's life, there may be a chance for a change of fortune. Although merits and demerits cannot offset each other, they are calculated separately. After punishment, merits and demerits can be calculated again, and one can be reborn sooner.

Maoshan Ming, his energy depleted, said, "If judges are so powerful, can you control all the evils in the world? Do you dare to interfere in everything?"

Li Xuan said, "I walk the world with the laws of Fengdu, punishing evil without exception, no matter who it is."

Maoshan Ming gave a bitter smile and stopped talking. He looked at Da Bao and Xiao Bao with deep remorse, closed his eyes, and finally burned out all his blood and energy, dying instantly.

Li Xuan: “…”

He never intended to kill Maoshan Ming.

I can't help but recall the stunned expression on the face of the Moon Worship Cult Leader in "Chinese Paladin" as he watched Ah Qi's parents commit suicide one after another in front of him.

The leader of the Moon Worship Cult simply asked what he could do to repay Ah Qi for saving him.

As a result, Ah Qi's parents committed suicide one after another, leaving the Moon Worship Cult Leader completely bewildered: "What are they doing? I didn't say I wanted their lives..."

Li Xuan was speechless, but he still collected Mao Shanming's soul and handed it over to the City God along with Da Bao and Xiao Bao: "I would like to trouble the City God to make another trip to the underworld and send the souls of these three people to Fengdu."

The City God took the soul sealed in the talisman and nodded: "I will go immediately."

He has never been to Fengdu City before, so perhaps he can broaden his horizons there.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and sunlight fell into the courtyard. Except for the presence of Mao Shanming's corpse, everything else was back to normal. Everyone felt the sunlight on their bodies, but still had a chilly feeling.

Li Xuan removed his robe.

Without these clothes, everyone seemed a little more relaxed.

Ah Qiang's eyes immediately became clear, and even his gait became more natural. He walked up to Li Xuan, his voice becoming deep and resonant as he clearly and distinctly said, "Judge Li, I am Ah Qiang from Baiyun Village, and also the security captain. Please feel free to ask me anything you need, and I will do my best to fulfill it!"

Uncle Nine looked like he'd seen a ghost; Ah Qiang's transformation was too outrageous.

Li Xuan almost choked on his soy milk. What was with that damned broadcasting voice?
Looking at the gruesome body of Mao Shanming lying on the ground, he took out ten silver dollars from his pocket, placed them on the table, and said, "Please give Mao Shanming's body a proper burial."

Ah Qiang's eyes lit up, then he slapped himself and said, "You've given too much; five silver dollars would have been enough."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "You don't need to do this. As long as you don't do evil, the laws of Fengdu won't apply to you. Don't suppress your personality, just be yourself... Take the rest of the silver dollars and have some tea."

He suddenly remembered something, took out a red envelope, and handed it to Lin Jiu, saying, "Fellow Daoist, I almost forgot that today is your birthday. I usually have nothing of value, so I can only wrap up some mundane items as a token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

The red envelope was rectangular and bulging.

Lin Jiu dared not accept it.

Li Xuan forced it into his hand.

Lin Jiu received the red envelope and immediately felt its weight; it contained at least thirty silver dollars, which was extremely valuable.

Li Xuan said, "I may have to stay at Baiyun Residence for a few more days, so please don't refuse, fellow Daoist."

Lin Jiu then accepted the red envelope.

A-Qiang and his men carried Mao Shanming's body out. They were quite efficient, finding a place to bury him on the back mountain and even hiring a stonemason to build a rather grand tombstone. It was midday.

Li Xuan lay on the rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun and thinking about establishing a church. A-Qiang came running over excitedly and invited him to the village restaurant to attend Uncle Jiu's birthday banquet.

He enjoys sampling the local cuisine in every world he visits.

Since Uncle Nine had invited him, Li Xuan accepted the invitation without hesitation...

The restaurant was small, with only two floors, but it had quite a few customers. There were three tables on the second floor, and Uncle Jiu was sitting at the middle table chatting with a few people in their fifties or sixties.

When he saw Li Xuan arrive, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Come quickly, fellow Daoist, sit here!"

Hearing the warm invitation, Li Xuan went over and sat down in an empty seat.

At this moment, Ade handed over a small gift: "Master, happy birthday."

Uncle Jiu opened it with a smile and found it to be a small, insignificant gift.

His gaze then fell on Ah Qiang, who froze, rummaged through his pockets for a while, and handed over a small red envelope, saying with a smile, "Master, this is just a small token of my respect."

Uncle Nine touched it, and his smile froze. The small red envelope contained only a copper coin; it was indeed a "small token of appreciation." This Ah Qiang was truly honest...

Knowing he was in the wrong, Ah Qiang immediately used the ten silver dollars Li Xuan had given him that morning to order two new sets of clothes and two refined swords, leaving him with no money. Only then did he realize that he hadn't received any gifts for his master's birthday.

He said with a forced smile, "The gift is yet to come, it's coming up."

Having seen the movie, Li Xuan knew that the gift was indeed still to come, and immediately smiled and said, "How about we talk about the gift when we get back?"

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, A-Qiang saw his junior brother A-De carrying a large box. He immediately thought to himself, "He gave me a small gift and then prepared a big one. This A-De is really something else."

A sudden inspiration struck him, and an idea came to him.

Let's grab it first and talk about it later.

He chuckled, turned around, ran up the stairs, snatched the large box from Ade's hands, and came back to Uncle Nine: "Master, this is the real gift; the previous one was just an appetizer."

At the birthday banquet, in front of so many people, Li Xuan reached out and pressed down on the box, looking at A-Qiang and saying, "Do you know what's inside this?"

Ah Qiang chuckled and said, "Of course it's a gift, to keep it a secret."

He handed it directly to Uncle Nine. After all, it was his birthday today, so how bad could the box in Ah De's hand be?
Li Xuan said directly, "I think this looks like a prank toy. You might find a fist inside when you open it."

Uncle Nine immediately laughed: "Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it. Although Ah Qiang is mischievous, he would not do such a thing in this kind of situation. Besides, he doesn't have the guts."

Ah Qiang: "Yes, yes."

Uncle Nine also wanted to show off his apprentice's filial piety to the villagers, so he opened the box and saw a red fist pop out to deliver an uppercut to him!

The scene fell silent.

Ah Qiang's smile froze, and he forced a smile: "Master, I want to give you a surprise..."

Uncle Nine wore a strange smile, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. He chuckled and put the box aside: "Hmm... Master sensed your surprise. We'll investigate the surprise more carefully when we get back!"

The people sitting opposite him lowered their voices and whispered among themselves: "The last time we saw Uncle Nine laugh like that, a lot of people got into trouble. This time, Ah Qiang is really in trouble. Uncle Nine is a man who cares a lot about his reputation..."
