Chapter 1381 - 1380: Searched High and Low Only to Find It Effortlessly

Chapter 1381: Chapter 1380: Searched High and Low Only to Find It Effortlessly

Du Yueyao and Liu Qingyan were studying the latter’s new medical skills, and Lu Zheng, realizing he hadn’t returned to the mountain in a long time, grabbed a jar of Flower Carving and leisurely flew to Shaotong Mountain.

"What? Senior Brother Yuan Jing is not here?"

Lu Zheng was surprised that Yuan Jing wasn’t there, "He’s been invited by Landlord Li from Wang Family Town in Pingtan County to preside over a hundred-day blessing ceremony for his grandson?"

"Pingtan County, isn’t that the area of Jiming Temple?"

Lu Zheng curiously asked Yuan Xing, "Are we going there to steal business?"

Yuan Xing chuckled bitterly, "Tonglin County is big enough for us to live, but Landlord Li is wealthy and powerful. Hiring the local Primordial Saint Sect and Jiming Temple wasn’t enough for him; he also invited us from White Cloud Temple and Fangzheng Academy in Yuhe County, gathering a Divine Lady, Buddha, Daoist Monarch, and Confucian Saint."

"Goodness!" Lu Zheng clicked his tongue in admiration, "Isn’t he afraid that his grandson’s fate isn’t strong enough to withstand so many great powers?"

"Junior Brother..." Yuan Fu beside him said speechlessly, "We’re going to pray for blessings, not to suppress demons."

"Ah, right, right!" Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly, then raised the wine jar and lunch box in his hand, "Since Senior Brother Yuan Jing isn’t here, why don’t you all join me?"

Yuan Xing and Yuan Fu exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, "Just what I wanted!"

Then, the voice of Master Yue Chen came from the back courtyard, "Since that’s the case, why don’t you come in?"

...

After drinking a jar of Flower Carving and another jar of Ginseng King Wuliangye, without using his powers to expel the alcohol, even Lu Zheng felt a bit tipsy.

Waving goodbye to Master Yue Chen, Yuan Xing, and Yuan Fu, Lu Zheng rode the white cloud, swaying leisurely towards home. Just as he flew over Tonglin County, he saw Buddha Light rising into the sky in the distance, with Dao resonance pervading and blessing fortune extending, spiritual light shining.

This Spiritual Qi, ordinary people can’t sense, but Lu Zheng, being a great cultivator with thousands of years of Dao practice, could clearly perceive it. Though this Spiritual Qi wasn’t very dense, gathered together, it was rather miraculous and certainly the most top-tier blessing for ordinary people.

"Oh, I didn’t expect that. It looks like this Landlord Li spent a lot of money." Lu Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, "A few people indeed put some thought into it, complementing and assisting each other. As long as that grandson of Landlord Li grows up and doesn’t act recklessly, with his blessing fortune intact, even if he can’t live to a hundred, he could at least be free from all illnesses."

"It’s rare; they’re all acquaintances, so let’s go have a look."

Lu Zheng shook his head with a smile, riding on the effects of the wine, turned his cloud towards the direction of neighboring Pingtan County.

Lu Zheng’s speed on the cloud was incredibly fast, and before the blessing ceremony at Landlord Li’s house in Wang Family Town of Pingtan County was completed, he had already arrived above the ceremony.

Looking down from the sky, he saw the front courtyard of a large manor below, where three altars were set up.

Guangyue, the host of Jiming Temple, Yuan Jing, the Temple Master of White Cloud Temple, and Feng Yiyin, the sacrificial priest of the Primordial Saint Sect, each cast spells, and a gentleman in a Confucian robe waved his hand, scattering spiritual light that fused Buddhist and Daoist magical power, merging the powers of the three, transforming into strands of Qi spell seals that were then impressed into a baby lying in swaddling clothes nearby.

The baby was held in the arms of a young woman, and due to being bathed in Spiritual Qi, her postpartum weakness was swiftly recovering, her complexion visibly reddening and recovering with every breath.

A gray-haired elder stood beside them, accompanied by two women and a middle-aged man, all of whom were looking delightedly at the mother and son in the scene.

In mid-air, Lu Zheng nodded, about to land on the courtyard wall to watch the fun and reveal himself after the blessing ceremony concluded. Suddenly, his body stopped, and his brows furrowed.

In the next moment, all four people present also noticed something amiss.

Because at this time, black Qi started emanating from the baby, eroding and dispersing the blessing curse seal that had just been infused into him.

"Spirit Devouring Curse?"

"There is indeed a ghost!"

"Nightmare becomes reality!"

Clearly, the four of them must have known something beforehand, as the changes in the baby did not exceed their expectations.

In the next moment, Guangyue’s hand seal changed from the Blessing Seal to the Fearless Seal, and the spell changed from the Universal Relief Scripture to the Great Sun Golden Light Universal Illumination Scripture.

At the same time, Feng Yiyin and Yuan Jing also changed their hand techniques.

Feng Yiyin, possessing the highest magical power, primarily used a Soul-devouring Guide, supplemented by the Buddhist Golden Light Demon-Subduing Curse and the Daoist Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curse, all of which swiftly arrived, almost instantly covering the baby.

The Confucian scholar then vigorously waved his robes, enveloping and shielding the woman holding the baby with pure and thick Primordial True Qi from the black Qi and demon suppression curse.

"Buzz!"

A sound inaudible to the ear but resonating in the mind echoed in the divine souls of everyone present.

Feng Yiyin and the others, of course, were unharmed, but Landlord Li and the others all trembled, unable to help but step back.

However, in the next moment, the black Qi on the baby gradually dissipated, the look of pain on his face slowly fading, and then he breathed evenly, falling into a deep sleep in his mother’s arms.

Guangyue and the other three all sighed in relief.

Using the baby as the battlefield while eliminating the curse inside him, yet keeping the baby unharmed, wasn’t easy.

"Amitabha!"

"Infinite Celestial Venerable!"

Guangyue and Yuan Jing simultaneously intoned, and then the seals changed again, once more imprinting Buddha light and Dao resonance onto the baby’s body.

...

"So, was it that Old Master Wang transformed into a fierce ghost after death, possessing the baby to demand retribution from Landlord Li’s family?"

After the blessing ceremony ended, Feng Yiyin and the others came out from Landlord Li’s home, and Lu Zheng finally appeared before them.

After catching up with Guangyue and Yuan Jing, nodding in response to Feng Yiyin’s respectful greeting, and meeting the teacher from Yuhe County with Buddhist and Daoist cultivation,

Lu Zheng also listened as Yuan Jing explained the situation regarding Landlord Li.

"Landlord Li isn’t considered a good person, but that Wang family is even worse. Involving the child like this is intolerable by natural law," Yuan Jing said.

"Amitabha!" Guangyue clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha’s name.

"The evil sect Daoist supported by the Wang family has been taken care of by Daoist Yuan Jing." Feng Yiyin smiled calmly with interest. "However, from now on, there will be plenty of excitement between the Wang family and the Li family."

Feng Yiyin had reason to be pleased. Once the conflict between the Wang and Li families involved spells, without knowing if the other party had connections with abnormal people, even for self-preservation, they’d increase their offerings to the local abnormal people sects.

The beneficiaries, naturally, would be the Primordial Saint Sect and Jiming Temple.

"In that case, shouldn’t I congratulate you?" Lu Zheng laughed.

Everyone smiled wryly. In such matters, even if they didn’t want to accept, the Wang and Li families would likely insist.

...

As they walked and talked, their pace incredibly swift, they soon reached the county town of Pingtan County.

The teacher from Yuhe County bade farewell first and left, while Guangyue invited Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing to be guests at Jiming Temple.

"Vegetarian meals, huh..."

Lu Zheng had just expressed his distaste when he suddenly felt a movement in his expression. Turning back, he saw Fan Boyu entering slowly through the city gate with a middle-aged man.

The moment he saw that middle-aged man, Lu Zheng couldn’t help but squint.

Because what had just stirred was a drop of demon blood that Lu Zheng kept stored in a gourd.

The demon blood of the Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable!

"To search high and low, only to find it effortlessly." Lu Zheng nodded, revealing a smile.
