The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

The young gatekeeper, who was left to watch the gate, saw the arrival of Daoist Xuanqingzi and the others.

At a glance, he recognized Officer Feng, Zhao Liuzi, Xu Zhen, and the others, and his expression changed.

Before he could say anything, Zhao Liuzi shoved him aside and yelled, "Go away, what are you doing blocking the way?"

"We need to go in and discuss something with your patriarch, Zhang Shanhai. If we're delayed, can you afford the consequences?!"

Without paying any attention to the gatekeeper, he led Officer Feng and the others towards the Zhang family mansion.

When the gatekeeper Wang An saw this, his eyes flashed with anger, but he dared not speak out.

He hurriedly ran towards the main hall of the Zhang family, ready to tell the master what had happened.

soon.

In the main hall of the Zhang family.

Seeing Wang An rush in, the portly Zhang Shanhai looked puzzled.

The woman surnamed Xu standing next to her also looked surprised.

"Xiao Wang, what's wrong?" Xu asked in confusion.

"Master, Madam, Zhao Liuzi brought..." Wang An was about to say something.

From afar, a deep, resonant laugh interrupted him.

"Master Zhang, it's been a long time."

Xu Zhen and his group came into view of Zhang Shanhai and his companions.

Zhang Shanhai's face stiffened slightly as he cautiously asked, "Master Xu, what's wrong?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Daoist Xuanqingzi in the crowd, secretly surprised.

Zhao Liuzi sneered, "Master Zhang, we came here specifically to rescue you. Do you know that your situation is dire?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shanhai asked, puzzled.

Zhao Liuzi pointed to the Taoist Master Xuanqingzi behind him and said loudly, "This is Taoist Master Xuanqingzi from Qingping County. He is a highly accomplished Taoist master!"

“Your eldest son, Zhang Xuan, is possessed by ghosts and demons. We have specially invited Taoist Master Xuan Qingzi to come and exorcise the evil spirits from your eldest son!”

"With Daoist Xuanqingzi here, he will surely be able to see something and make your Zhang family's eldest son, that ghost and demon, submit to the law in an instant!"

The words were spoken.

Zhang Shanhai and the Xu family's expressions changed drastically.

Chapter 33: Su Chen, the Painted Skin Ghost?

Hearing Zhao Liuzi's words, Zhang Shanhai, the portly old father, showed anger on his face.

"What does Zhao Liuzi mean? He actually said my son is possessed by an evil spirit and wants my son to be punished?!"

However, after his anger subsided, a sense of unease arose in his heart.

Zhao Liuzi's words certainly angered him, but he also had to admit that his eldest son, who was known as a child prodigy, had been behaving very strangely lately.

At first, they did invite Taoist priests to take a look, and even fed Xuan'er talisman water, but the effect was minimal, and those Taoist priests couldn't see anything.

After this happened several times, they gave up on asking the Taoist priest for help, assuming that Xuan'er had simply gone mad.

Now that Zhao Liuzi had brought up this matter, and even brought a Taoist priest who exuded an aura of great power, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart and a glimmer of hope arose within him.

"Is it possible that my son is truly possessed by ghosts or demons?"

"After this Taoist priest examines her, he might be able to return the original Xuan'er to me!"

Zhang Shanhai was in high spirits as he thought about it.

The thought of his eldest son, who was now obsessed with the useless pursuit of immortality and had been poisoned by it, turning back into the original, talented eldest son filled him with excitement.

Before Zhao Liuzi could say anything more, he turned to Wang An beside him and said seriously, "Little Wang, go and call the eldest young master here."

Wang An paused for a moment, nodded, and then jogged towards the east wing.

"Master?" Madam Xu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

Zhang Shanhai comforted her, "Madam, let's see first. If my son is alright, that would be best. But if he's truly possessed by some ghost or demon, it would be a good thing if it were driven away as soon as possible, so my son can return to his original form..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu stopped talking, her eyes filled with worry and anticipation.

aside.

Master Xuanqingzi remained calm and said nothing, simply standing quietly to the side, waiting for the arrival of the eldest son of the Zhang family.

In any case, he was confident that he could solve it.

"You old codger, you're quite sensible." Zhao Liuzi smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Zhenze seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

His eyes flickered, and he muttered, "If this eldest son of the Zhang family really reverts to his old self..."

A sense of apprehension arose in his heart.

He was so preoccupied with dealing with ghosts and monsters that he forgot that the eldest son of the Zhang family was already a troublesome figure.

After all, Zhang Xuan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is a child prodigy in Guobei County. Who knows if he will pass the imperial examinations in the future?

Xu Zhen looked wary, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment.

Dressed in blue, Zhang Xing, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old with a youthful yet arrogant face, strode into the main hall.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong?"

Walking up to Zhang Shanhai and Xu Shi, Zhang Xing asked in a low voice, "Why are they here again?"

Ms. Xu sighed and then quietly recounted the whole story to him.

He heard his mother say that Zhao Liuzi and others had brought a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits for his elder brother.

Zhang Xing was somewhat taken aback, and anxiety unconsciously arose in his heart.

He didn't want his older brother to recover.

The thought of his brilliant, sun-like prodigy brother, who dazzled everyone around him, returning filled him with anxiety and gloom.

He didn't want to hear people from Guobei County say things like, "Isn't this the prodigy's younger brother? He has such a powerful older brother, it's so enviable," and so on.

Now he's gone mad, neglecting his studies and obsessed with seeking immortality and enlightenment. It's good that he's already ruined his life!

In this way, the eldest brother will be inferior to him, and he will be the one praised by everyone around him!

Zhang Xing stared nervously at the entrance to the hall, glancing occasionally at the Taoist Master Xuan Qingzi, anxiously awaiting the outcome.

East wing.

Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, couldn't help but open his eyes.

Outside the door, the gatekeeper, Wang An, had already told him what had happened.

"A Taoist priest who exorcises evil spirits?"

"Interesting. I'd like to see how he'll exorcise the evil spirits for me."

Su Chenrao was interested and got up to walk to the door.

He opened the door and walked straight towards the main hall outside the courtyard.

Behind him, Wang An and Xiao Tao followed closely.

Looking at the young master walking ahead, Xiao Tao, dressed in green, had a worried look in her eyes.

During this time, she also felt that the young master had gone a bit crazy.

"I hope that Taoist priest can cure the young master's illness!"

soon.

Su Chen then led Xiao Tao and the other two, along with some servants who were watching the excitement, into the main hall.

He glanced at it.

The main hall is spacious and quiet, with rows of mahogany chairs on both sides and a landscape painting hanging above.

The elderly father Zhang Shanhai, mother Xu, younger brother Zhang Xing, Xu Zhen, Zhao Liuzi, and head constable Feng were all present.

Among them, the old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, wearing a blue Taoist robe, and with a gaunt face was the most eye-catching.

He was sizing up this Daoist Xuanqingzi, who was also squinting and secretly observing him.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Liuzi excitedly introduced, "Daoist Xuanqingzi, this is the eldest son of the Zhang family. Take a look, is he possessed by ghosts or demons?"

Su Chen stood in the main hall.

All eyes were fixed on him.

The elderly father, Zhang Shanhai, and the mother, Xu, looked on with anxious hope, while the younger brother, Zhang Xing, was filled with worry and unease.

Xu Zhen and Constable Feng looked on with curiosity.

Xuan Qingzi flicked his whisk with his right hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, once I see it, everything will become clear."

"If there's a problem, I will not let him off the hook. I will make him submit to the law in an instant!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the eldest son of the Zhang family, who was standing at the outermost part of the main hall, and his eyes showed surprise.

This eldest son of the Zhang family knew he was here and had come looking for him, yet he still dared to come?

And, incredibly, it can actually appear in broad daylight?

Not the kind of ghost disguised in human skin that can manifest in broad daylight, but this eldest son of the Zhang family is simply a human!

Filled with doubt, Xuan Qingzi shouted, "Let me see just what kind of monster you are!"

"Open your Dharma Eye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhen, his father Zhang Shanhai, and the others beside him became tense and watched Master Xuanqingzi with bated breath.

Master Xuanqingzi had a solemn expression, and a faint light shone in his eyes.

Then, the next second, his expression froze.

Standing outside the main hall was the eldest son of the Zhang family, who emanated a faint light, his skin seemingly glowing.

A faint halo hung behind his head, pure and bright like the moon, making him appear even more otherworldly and untouched by the world.

With each breath, his breathing became long and steady, as if in harmony with the heavens and earth. The surrounding spiritual energy also rose and fell gently, gathering towards him almost imperceptibly.

"This……"

"This is..."

Chapter 34 Immortals?!

"This is..."

Xuan Qingzi stared blankly, muttering to himself.

He murmured to himself, his eyes wide with horror.

Xu Zhen and the others, who were watching him intently, were also taken aback.

The elderly father, Zhang Shanhai, and the mother, Xu, felt a sudden unease, and their faces showed apprehension.

“Master Xuanqingzi, my son…” Zhang Shanhai said anxiously.

Zhao Liuzi was both fearful and excited. "Daoist Xuanqingzi, what's going on? This young master of the Zhang family is indeed a demon, isn't he? Quickly take action and make him submit to the law!"

Officer Feng nodded repeatedly.

Xu Zhen's eyes showed fear, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Daoist Xuanqingzi, I'm entrusting this eldest son of the Zhang family to you!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanqingzi's body trembled violently.

He was still able to stand, but when he heard Zhao Liuzi and those damned bastards say that, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He ignored Zhao Liuzi and the others, his gaze fixed on the extraordinary, almost divine, young man in front of him, his lips trembling.

As a cultivator, how could he not understand the strange phenomena emanating from the eldest son of the Zhang family?
