Chapter 377 - 377 The Matter Was Exposed

377 The Matter Was Exposed

Ninth Uncle was holding a Dharmic artifact that looked like a wine jar. After casting a spell, he could suck the ghosts into the wine jar with a slap.

The Four-Eyed Daoist, Daoist Thousand Cranes, and Mommi were also holding different magical treasures. There were gourds, umbrellas, cloth bags, and so on.

They were all constantly catching ghosts.

Of course, among them, the most eye-catching one was Shi Jian, the Eldest Senior Brother.

He didn’t catch ghosts, he only killed them.

The Eldest Senior Brother was accompanied by sparks and lightning, and the rushing Thunder Fist was fierce and powerful.

With every punch, a ghost’s soul would be destroyed.

You just watched Shi Jian kill the ghosts and didn’t stop him.

At this time, who had the time to distinguish whether a ghost was good or bad? Besides, even if they were killed, it didn’t matter.

These ghosts had escaped from the hands of the reapers. If they were in the real world, they would be considered convicts on the run.

This was a serious crime. Even if Shi Jian killed them, the reapers wouldn’t say anything, nor would they ask for trouble.

Of course, it was a pity for Shi Jian since he had been looking for trouble with Ninth Uncle.

At the same time, Ninth Uncle also saw the scene of Shi Jian’s killing spree, and his face changed immediately. He hurried to Shi Jian and saved the two ghosts.

“Eldest Senior Brother, please show mercy. If you use the Thunder Fist, they won’t even be able to be ghosts in their next lives.”

Shi Jian was about to answer, but you beat him to it.

“Martial Uncle, these ghosts escaped from the hands of the reapers and caused the people to suffer. Are you going to stand up for them?”

“This…”

Ninth Uncle was obviously at a loss for words, but he quickly replied when he saw Shi Jian was about to attack again. “I can’t say that, but I have to give them a chance to reincarnate.”

Hearing this, Shi Jian snorted.

What he hated the most was Ninth Uncle’s soft-hearted attitude.

“Of course there will be opportunities, but we definitely won’t give them one. They actually escaped to the human world and brought disaster to the common people. They deserve to die.”

Shi Jian’s way of thinking had always been much colder than Ninth Uncle’s.

In his eyes, ghosts were just ghosts. There were no good or bad ghosts. When they came to the human world, as long as he encountered them, he would kill them all.

The dead should go to the place of the dead, and staying in the human world without permission was the reason for them to seek death.

As the Eldest Senior Brother of the Mao Mountain, Shi Jian’s most outstanding ability was not his profound Daoist skills, but his record of killing ghosts.

In terms of catching ghosts, he might not even be as good as Ninth Uncle, Mommi, and his other Junior Brothers.

However, when it came to killing ghosts, Ninth Uncle’s efficiency was as low as an aircraft carrier.

After that, Shi Jian didn’t pay any more attention to Ninth Uncle but threw a punch at the ghost.

This unlucky fellow was instantly destroyed in body and soul.

As Shi Jian’s Junior Brother, Ninth Uncle could only try to persuade him, but he couldn’t attack him.

After all, he was invited to help, and he was indeed helping. There was no reason to stop him.

Left with no choice, Ninth Uncle could only speed up the process of capturing the ghosts and try his best to preserve their lives.

Although the other disciples didn’t say anything, they all sped up in tacit understanding.

Daoists generally did not have any killing intent.

Shi Jian was a special case. He had such a strong killing desire and became a Daoist. Not only that, but he also became the Eldest Senior Brother of the Mao Mountain.

Therefore, even though they didn’t agree with Shi Jian’s method, they couldn’t say it out loud and could only prove it with their own actions.

Under the hard work of the group of people, they finally managed to save numerous ghosts from the hands of their Eldest Senior Brother.

After that, Ninth Uncle and his Junior Brothers counted the number and then came to Shi Jian.

“Senior Brother, we have already checked. All the ghosts that escaped have been cleared. From now on, Renjia Town will definitely not be haunted.”

Shi Jian looked a little unhappy. He could tell that these Junior Brothers were against him, so he immediately said, “Very good. Junior Brothers, you’re very capable. Lin Fengjiao, you’re also very capable.”

After that, Shi Jian took you and left this place.

…

In the original plot, after you dealt with this matter, you couldn’t stand your lustful nature and decided to use the method of having your soul leave your body to rape a beautiful woman.

This caused the conflict between Shi Jian and Ninth Uncle.

But this time, you were naturally not the kind of person with bad moral character. Besides, there was no woman in this small place that you’d be interested in.

You and Shi Jian did not leave Renjia Town directly.

According to the plot, Ninth Uncle would invite his fellow disciples over to help. They would hold a ceremony and report to the patriarch after the matter was resolved.

Furthermore, some of them had not seen each other for more than ten years. After the matter was resolved, they would also exchange mantras.

In the Memorial Hall…

“What? You said that Shi Shaojian was the one who snatched Old Master Ren’s body?”

Ninth Uncle stood up from his chair in shock and looked at Wen Cai with suspicion.

“Yes, Master. He dislocated my arm that year. I remember him very well. It was him.”

Wen Cai saw that his master actually doubted him and immediately became anxious. He explained what had happened that year in detail.

“Fellow disciples… Daoist… Zombie…. Lightning strikes…”

Ninth Uncle didn’t pay any more attention to Wen Cai. Instead, he slowly paced around the Memorial Hall.

Back then, Ninth Uncle had to bear a lot of responsibility because of Old Master Ren’s corpse.

Moreover, because Ninth Uncle was the protagonist of the world, he had investigated the zombie’s route.

In the end, Ninth Uncle successfully found Old Master Ren, who had been hacked into black charcoal, in the small village, and the matter was finally resolved.

However, Ninth Uncle had been investigating in secret.

It was only when he found out that the Zombie Island incident that shocked the world seemed to be related to a young Daoist that Ninth Uncle stopped investigating.

Being the child of the world would give Ninth Uncle great benefits in terms of obtaining information.

“Could it be…”

There was a trace of suspicion in Ninth Uncle’s eyes. He immediately took out a paper crane and wrote a letter of superstition on it.

Then, Ninth Uncle bit his finger and pointed at the paper crane. The paper crane slowly flew up and left the Memorial Hall.

“Master, why do you look so worried? That guy stole the zombie. Let’s report him in front of all the Martial Uncles tomorrow and ask that vicious Shi Jian to give us an explanation,” said Qiu Sheng.

Ninth Uncle Wen Yan shook his head as he said to Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, “You don’t know this, but Shi Shaojian was born with a Daoist body and has extraordinary cultivation. He’s recognized as the most talented Mao Mountain disciple in the past thousand years, and he’ll be the next Sect Leader.

“Moreover, he has profound magic power. Even though he’s following Senior Brother Shi Jian, his cultivation is only stronger than Shi Jian’s. If what you say is true, I’m afraid…”
