Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

Just then, a clear whistle suddenly came from the sky, and three streams of light descended from the sky and landed squarely on the Dharma platform.

It was none other than Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons.

The monk was fiddling with his prayer beads when he suddenly saw three people descending from the sky. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, where do you three benefactors come from? Why are you disturbing this humble monk's sermon?"

Tiger Power Immortal snorted coldly and was about to step forward to make a move, but was stopped by Lu Qingxuan raising his hand.

He stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the monk, and said indifferently, "You wicked monk, you use illusions to bewitch people, you use sorcery to harm people, and you even dare to spread your heretical words and demolish my temple?"

The monk's expression remained unchanged as he coldly sneered, "This humble monk practices Buddhist teachings and aims to save all sentient beings. What right do you, a mere heretic, have to speak so presumptuously?"

Lu Qingxuan did not argue with him, but took out the demon-revealing mirror from his bosom and held it in his palm.

Upon seeing the demon-revealing mirror, the monk's heart trembled, and he immediately tried to dodge it.

But how could Lu Qingxuan give him that opportunity?

With the activation of magical power, a beam of golden light shot out from the mirror and shone on the monk.

A golden light enveloped him, and the monk's expression changed drastically. It was too late to hide, and his body shrank involuntarily under the golden light.

As the robe fell away, the kind and benevolent face gradually faded, revealing a face with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks underneath.

A yellow-haired ferret.

Someone exclaimed, "A monster! This monk is a monster!"

The villagers who had touched the prayer beads felt them grow icy cold, and saw dark energy seeping from them. Terrified, they quickly threw them away.

Realizing that he had been exposed, the little demon rolled on the ground and tried to escape.

Tiger Power Immortal rushed forward, stomped on his tail, and shouted, "Where do you think you're going!"

The scene took such a rapid turn that the people were stunned and it took them a long time to recover.

After regaining their senses, someone recognized Lu Qingxuan and his companions, exclaiming excitedly, "It's the Third Immortal! The Third Immortal has arrived!"

The three demons, including Lu Qingxuan, stopped pretending and revealed their true forms.

Sheep Power Immortal walked to Zhang Dashan's side, bent down to examine him, and then took out a pill from his sleeve and put it into Zhang Dashan's mouth.

A moment later, Zhang Dashan slowly woke up, his headache completely gone.

He rolled over, got up, touched his head, and stretched his muscles. He felt relaxed all over and there was no discomfort at all.

Upon seeing the three demons, Zhang Dashan knelt down with a thud: "Third Immortal Lord, I..."

Lu Qingxuan helped him up and said, "It's not your fault that you were deceived."

Standing in the crowd, Liu Tiezhu recalled how he had almost believed the evil monk's words, and how his elderly mother chanted Buddhist prayers every day. He felt both ashamed and fearful.

He knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly: "Third Immortal Lord, I was wrong! I shouldn't have believed that monster!"

His kneeling inspired a whole group of people behind him to kneel down and kowtow to Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons in apology.

They had actually listened to the monster and demolished the Three Immortals Shrine; now that they realized what had happened, they felt a burning pain on their faces.

Lu Qingxuan turned to look at the people below the stage and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone, this person is a demon under the Yellow Eyebrow King of Xiaoleiyin Temple. He specializes in using demonic magic to bewitch people and cheat them out of incense offerings."

What you just saw was nothing but an illusion conjured by magic. If you believed it, you would be handing your lives over to a monster.

Now that the truth is out, are you still willing to demolish my Three Immortals Shrine?

The people shook their heads, saying, "Three Immortals, we have been deceived by the evil monk! The Three Immortals Shrine must not be demolished!"

"That's right! The Three Immortals saved us again! The Three Immortals Shrine must not be demolished!"

Those spies who had previously been shouting for the demolition of the shrine now hung their heads and dared not speak, fearing that Lu Qingxuan would cause them trouble.

Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan nodded and looked at the little demon: "Since you dared to come, you should know the consequences."

After saying this, Lu Qingxuan slashed down with his sword, blood spurting out, and the head of the yellow-haired weasel rolled off the platform and landed in front of the people who had started the commotion earlier.

"That beast got off easy." Tiger Power Immortal snorted coldly, his gaze casually sweeping over the group.

The men's expressions changed drastically, and they retreated hastily.

Lu Qingxuan sheathed his sword and turned to face the people below the stage: "Fellow villagers, the evil spirit has been eliminated. From now on, no one will try to bewitch you. The Three Immortals Shrine is here. If you have any difficulties, just come and ask for help."

"Thank you, Third Immortal!"

...

Just as Lu Qingxuan was killing the yellow-haired weasel, at the Little Thunder Temple...

A little demon rushed in, trembling, and said, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The brothers I sent to the Three Immortals Shrine have all been killed..."

King Yellow Eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and smashed the stone table in front of him with a single palm strike.

The flying pebbles startled the little demon, who tumbled and ran away.

"Lu Qingxuan!"

King Yellow Eyebrows gritted his teeth, wishing he could devour Lu Qingxuan alive.

The demons he sent were all carefully selected, but he didn't expect Lu Qingxuan to arrive so quickly.

"Damn it, it's all because of that Demon-Revealing Mirror!" King Yellow Eyebrows' face was gloomy. If it weren't for the Demon-Revealing Mirror, how could Lu Qingxuan have resolved this matter so quickly?

"That Lu Qingxuan is nothing more than a Xuanxian. If this humble monk were to personally take action, killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken!" King Huangmei stopped in his tracks and said through gritted teeth.

But as soon as he said it, he shook his head.

He can't take action himself, not because he can't win, but because he's incapable of fighting.

He sneaked down to the mortal realm; if he alerted the Heavenly Court, it would be difficult to explain to Maitreya Buddha.

"Your Majesty, perhaps... we should retreat first?" a little demon tentatively asked.

King Yellow Eyebrows suddenly turned his head and glared at the little demon, which frightened the little demon into shrinking back and immediately falling silent.

King Yellow Eyebrows snorted coldly and said, "Withdraw? How can I swallow this insult if we withdraw?"

Besides, I was ordered by my superiors to build a Taoist temple here and collect incense offerings. If I can't even handle a few minor Taoist priests, how will I explain myself in the future?"

He paced around the cave for a long time, then suddenly stopped and sneered, "Lu Qingxuan has a demon-revealing mirror, so I can't do anything to him, but he can't be guarding those temples all the time, can he?"

If he doesn't guard the position, I will send someone to do so. Once he arrives, I will withdraw.

He kills one of my little demons, so I'll send ten; he kills ten, so I'll send a hundred. I want to see how many temples he can protect!

As long as he sends enough people, he has nothing to fear about failing.

Upon hearing this, the little demons beside him exchanged glances, not daring to reply, for fear of being chosen by the Yellow-Eyebrowed King.

Other jobs are tiring, but this one can really cost you your life...

However, King Yellow Eyebrows' wishful thinking soon fell through.

In the months that followed, every demon he sent out, whether disguised as a monk, a Taoist priest, or a fortune teller, was exposed by Lu Qingxuan and his two demons.

Some were forced back to their original forms, some were killed on the spot, and some were driven out of the village by the villagers with carrying poles before they even entered it.

Having learned their lesson, everyone now makes a point of questioning the Three Immortals Temple whenever someone of dubious origin comes to preach.

The temple keepers of the Three Immortals Temple also received guidance from Lu Qingxuan and learned some methods to distinguish between demons and evil spirits. As a result, the Yellow-Eyebrowed King's men were exposed before they could even speak and could not move an inch.
