Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

Fahai was tall and imposing, but when he stood before Wu Qing, although his muscles were bulging and he looked intimidating, his face was kind.

At this moment, he stared at Xiaobai and Xiaoqing flying closer, and with a roar, his domineering aura swept out.

His shout was like thunder, shattering the dim night.

The people below the mountain were terrified, as if they had seen a demon, and they all gave way.

Wu Qing hurriedly said, "Master, you've made a mistake. Those two are my wife and my concubine, they..."

Fahai shouted, "I can tell at a glance that they are not human!"

He grabbed Wu Qing by the shoulder and threw him up the mountain: "Protect him, don't let the monsters get close."

The monks caught Wu Qing. Wu Qing cried out, "Let me down, Master, Master..."

The monk beside him advised, "Doctor Qing, our abbot is a master of demons and monsters, with eyes that can see through anything. He would never be wrong."

"Your two wives are definitely not ordinary people. Now that the abbot has exposed them, if you go down now, they will surely be eaten."

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing watched as the fierce-looking monk grabbed their husband and threw him up the mountain.

Then a group of monks forcibly dragged the official, who wanted to rush down and be with them, back.

Xiaoqing cried out, "Bald monk, release my husband at once, or I'll burn down this dilapidated temple!"

She drew her twin swords, staring intently at the vicious monk before her who, by no means looked like a good person.

Lady White Snake suppressed her anger: "Master, my husband has no grudge against you, why have you brought him here?"

Fahai laughed loudly, "You two fiends, it's your own bad luck to run into me here. Doctor Qing is a dragon among men, how could he be wasted on the hands of you two monsters?"

He was determined to kill any demon he encountered. With a flick of his staff, he charged towards Ernu Town like a tidal wave.

Wu Qing was pulled into the temple. Although he knew that this was an essential part of the "previous life's fate" plot, he was still worried about Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

A series of loud thuds echoed down the mountain.

Even inside the hall, through the gate, one could see that Fahai's staff radiated waves of magnified Buddhist light, exuding an aura of righteousness that was unstoppable.

In comparison, the sword light from Xiaobai and Xiaoqing was much weaker.

"Tell them to stop fighting! My two wives aren't evil demons!" Wu Qing shouted.

In fact, Wu Qing knew that it was useless to stop it; this was the ghost story "The Legend of the White Snake," and it was bound to develop to this point no matter what.

Even if it's just a script, you should at least get into character.

Or should I shout, "Wife, stop fighting! Come out and see the immortals!"

"Dr. Qing, listen to me, what kind of demon is good or bad?"

An old monk advised him, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Even if a demon transforms into a human, she will not be of one mind with a human. The first thing they will do by staying with you is to spend all your money..."

"But everything I eat, use, and spend belongs to my two wives."

"That was also your betrothal gift..."

"I'm just a poor boy, I don't have any dowry. But they gave me a big garden as part of my dowry and even helped me open a pharmacy."

"But they can devour your life essence..."

"My two wives are as beautiful as flowers, and I am willing to be captivated by their beauty."

"Even more powerful, it will drain all the essence and internal energy you've painstakingly cultivated..."

"I've never cultivated, so how could I possess any powerful essence or internal energy? I'm just an ordinary person. They went to such great lengths to provide me with a large residence, give me money to open a pharmacy, take care of my daily needs, and even sacrifice their beauty for me, just to drain the essence and internal energy of a mortal like me?"

The old monk said, "This..."

A young monk nearby couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell us where we can find two ladies like these? We'd like to... oh dear!"

The old monk slapped the young monk away, then looked at Wu Qing and said, "In short, they must have a purpose in doing this."

"You can't even explain their purpose, can you?"

Wu Qing said, "If monsters want to harm people, especially poor boys like me who have never practiced martial arts and are powerless, why go through all this trouble? If they really want to harm me, they can just capture me directly. What can I do then?"

The young monk stepped forward again: "That's right, what can he possibly do?"

"A demon is a demon!" the old monk said. "Even if they are kind to you now, they will ultimately harm you."

Pointing at Wu Qing, his hand trembled slightly, he emphasized again: "I'm going to harm you!"

Wu Qing said, "This is prejudgment. Anyone in this world is capable of harming others. Do you really have to condemn and execute someone before they've even done anything?"

As they were speaking, a loud bang came from outside the mountain.

The sword light burst upwards, followed by a sudden, earth-shaking roar.

With a bang, the two snake shadows disappeared into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, Fahai dragged his staff backwards and brought it down through the air.

"Abbot!" the old monk stepped forward, "Have those two demons been brought to justice?"

"Those two demons are incredibly powerful. Although I had the upper hand, I was still unable to capture them." Fahai gripped his heavy staff, which weighed hundreds of pounds, with his strong arms. "Very well, let them escape for now, and we'll settle accounts with them later."

Fahai came to Wu Qing and said, "Benefactor, your two wives are snake demons in disguise, hiding in the human world."

"These kinds of beasts have a difficult time cultivating. During their cultivation, they have probably consumed a lot of essence and blood and eaten many mortals. Fortunately, I brought you here. You can stay here for the time being until those two demons are defeated."

Wu Qing said, "My wife would never do such a thing. She and her husband have helped many people in the town and rescued many poor people.

Fahai shook his head and said, "You can know a person's face but not their heart, let alone that they are demons."

"They fled after being wounded. If you go back, they will be furious and will tear you to pieces, sucking your marrow from your bones."

Wu Qing said, "They are my wives, they would never do such a thing to me."

Fahai couldn't help but laugh, "You'd rather believe in demons than in me?"

Wu Qing said, "Master, you are attached to appearances. You assume that they must do evil just because they are demons, but there is no universal truth in this world."

"Just as there are good and bad people, there are also good and bad demons. Just because they are demons, regardless of what they have done, they must be killed."

"Master, your Buddhist teachings are nothing more than this."

Fahai said, "My Buddhist teachings are also very simple."

"As long as you are here, they cannot harm you, and you will be safe. If you go out, they may or may not harm you. But if you are harmed, and I could have saved you but failed to do so, then it is my fault."

"This humble monk has a compassionate heart. Whether you like it or not, I will ultimately save you. This is my martial art, and also my Buddhist teaching."

Wu Qing sighed, "But if the master had just let me go back, the matter would have been resolved quickly. Instead, the master's good intentions have only made things worse."

"Whether it's martial arts or Buddhism, neither can solve all problems in the end."

Fahai said, "As you just said, there is no universal truth in the world! This humble monk does not need to solve all problems, only those two snake demons."
