The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

The blind monk roared.

At that moment, years of grievances, resentment, and hatred suddenly erupted like a torrent finding its outlet.

"When I was very young, there was a crop failure in the village, and my parents starved to death."

"I almost starved to death during that natural disaster, but a wandering monk saved me."

"He gave me a white steamed bun and told me to follow him from now on."

"I agreed in order to survive."

"From then on, I shaved my head and became a novice monk under this monk."

"We traveled all over the country, received help from many people, and helped many people in return."

"This monk is very kind-hearted and treats me extremely well."

"I originally thought that I would continue to walk with him like this forever."

"Until one day, we came to a village that was also very poor."

"The people in this village are very simple and honest. Their lives are not very good, but they are not stingy when they see us asking for vegetarian food."

Even though they themselves often go hungry, they still manage to squeeze out some food for us.

"I was moved by these people."

"But that very night, a group of starving refugees arrived."

"These people started looting the grain after they entered the village."

"During the robbery, several kind villagers were accidentally killed."

"When I saw this, I panicked and begged the monk for help."

"But the monk told me that this is fate, and some destinies are predetermined."

"He won't concern himself with the causes and consequences of these people's actions."

"This is the first time I've ever felt the indifference of a monk."

"I really can't stand it. I can't bear to see these kind villagers beaten to death."

"So, I made my move right in front of the monk."

"Over the years, I've followed monks around and learned some magic techniques."

"I used these spells to trap all the disaster victims who came in to loot the food."

"Seeing those villagers lying in pools of blood."

"I'm very angry. I don't think these villagers should have died like this."

"Those who hurt them should pay the price."

"So I killed all those disaster victims."

"I want them to pay for their crimes in blood."

"But my actions angered the monk."

"He cut my eyes out with a knife in front of everyone!"

"He said I broke the precept against killing, that I was tainted by karma, and that I would have to pay the price for it."

My heart is dead.

"Those kind villagers were killed, and the monk did nothing. I helped these villagers seek justice, but he interfered."

"He wants to blind me, he wants to punish me."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The blind monk burst into laughter.

"Tell me, isn't it ridiculous?"

His deformed eyes stared at me, questioning me.

I did not respond to him.

He didn't wait for my answer and continued, "It's a pity, perhaps even heaven thinks I did the right thing."

"My eyes aren't blind; on the contrary, they've made me a rare case of double pupils."

"My eyes can see not only the scenes of the living world, but also the ghosts and monsters of the dead."

"No evil can hide in my eyes!"

"The monk probably never dreamed that his knife would actually benefit me."

"I killed him."

"I don't think he deserves to call himself a good person."

"But after I killed him, I regretted it."

"I think I did something wrong."

"I shouldn't have let him die so quickly."

"I should let him live, so he can know what true goodness is."

"Later, I searched through ancient books and finally found a way to revive his soul."

"That's the [Thousand Souls Festival]!"

"However, the conditions for performing the [Thousand Souls Sacrifice] are extremely demanding."

"It needs a feng shui treasure land that gathers both yin and virtuous energy."

"I searched many places and finally came to Liuweng Village."

"Changsong Mountain is quite an extraordinary place. It is the burial place of a general with illustrious achievements, and the entire Changsong Mountain is full of burial mounds."

"That is precisely why this place has become a place of extreme virtue, making it perfect for performing the [Thousand Soul Sacrifice]."

"And I also inquired about Liuweng Village."

"The people here are not good people. They are selfish and busy with their own calculations every day."

"Oh, by the way, I also know about your family."

"Your father is one of the few good people in Liuweng Village."

"Your father has been bullied by these villagers a lot over the years."

"These villagers deserved to die. Actually, I'm avenging your father and you."

The blind monk looked at me and said with a smile.

My brow is always furrowed.

I think this monk in front of me has gone mad.

He became trapped in his own obsession.

In order to gain the approval of someone who has been dead for many years.

He was so deranged that he wanted to resurrect that person.

To achieve this goal, they were willing to kill many people as sacrifices.

And he didn't even think he was wrong.

"Fellow Daoist, I originally intended to give you a chance to leave."

"But I really can't wait any longer. I can't kill all the people in Liuweng Village myself."

"Because in doing so, I will be tainted with a great deal of karma and killing."

"That's why I changed my mind and want you to do it."

"But why don't you kill them?"

"If you kill them, I will still let you and your father go."

"I really don't want a good person like your father to die, and I don't want to offend you and the sect behind you."

"But you're being a bit reckless; you insist on going against me!"

The blind monk's words gradually grew cold.

"So you're not leaving today either."

"However, I can mercifully tell you who I am."

"So that when you die, you can be foolish ghosts, so that you won't be unaware of who your enemies are."

The blind monk smiled.

"Remember this well, my Dharma name is: Shan Jie!"

The words fell.

The monk Shanjie suddenly rushed towards me.

Golden light flowed around him, and the Buddhist beads in his hands shone even brighter, with the faint sound of Buddha chanting emanating from them.

He was very fast; he was in front of me in the blink of an eye.

Just as the [Thunder Talisman] in my hand was activated, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

That person was actually my father!

I was momentarily stunned.

Before I could even react, my father's warm blood splattered onto my face.

"Kid, run!"

These were the last words my father said.

He was afraid that I would be harmed by the monk Shanjie.

So she didn't hesitate to use her own mortal body to stand in front of me.

This scene seems familiar.

Eighteen years ago, my mother died in front of me in the same way.

My eyes immediately welled up with tears.

But the monk Shanjie coldly retorted, "You're courting death!"

Anger and hatred erupted in my heart in an instant.

My eyes were bloodshot as I stared intently at Monk Shanjie, my teeth clenched, and I said, "I want you dead!"
