What the evil monk said made Jiang Ran's heart skip a beat.
Then he said calmly:
“I didn’t expect that there would be such a reason for this.
“It’s actually the masters of the Demon Cult who are causing trouble!?
"But I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be? Have you ever killed all the evil thieves of the Demon Cult?"
The evil monk heard this and smiled bitterly:
"To be honest, the masters of the Demon Cult are extremely impressive.
"Even if we take advantage of the opportunity and set up an ambush in advance, in the end we can only kill a few of the demon sect villains.
"However, although we did not keep all of them, we also injured many people, and more importantly, we cut them into pieces.
"Nowadays, almost everyone in the rivers and lakes is looking for them, except for the eldest princess who came from Jin Chan.
"Whenever we find out, we will definitely eliminate the evil and do our best!!"
When Jiang Ran heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
From this point of view, Tang Tianyuan shouldn't have any big problems.
It's just that Jun Hezai took the initiative, laid a trap, united with the Qing Kingdom Jianghu to besiege them, and dispersed them all.
If the two poetic and picturesque sisters can find them, they will eventually gradually join their side.
It's nothing.
But there was a hint of solemnity on his face.
He raised his head and glanced at the evil monk:
"In that case, how can the Qiu clan take a demon disciple into custody?"
"This incident is truly unexpected even for me."
The monk who abstained from evil subconsciously proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said:
"At that time, the Qiu clan was led by the Second Young Master.
"After the battle was over and the battlefield was cleared, they found a seriously injured and unconscious member of the Demon Cult.
"Then he secretly took this person away.
"If someone hadn't seen it, it might have caused such a tragic disaster."
When he said this, he raised his eyes and looked deep into the Qiu family's mansion:
"Donor Jiang, have you ever explored this mansion?
"The demon might still be in this mansion... The Qiu family doesn't know if there are any survivors.
"You have to be careful when doing things here."
Jiang Ran nodded slightly:
"What the master said makes sense.
"The magical skills I saw the master perform just now seem to have a strong restraint effect on those who are controlled by evil thoughts.
"I think even if we find the demon cult disciple, we will definitely be able to capture him easily."
The evil monk thought for a moment, but did not refute, but said:
"What are the next plans of Donor Jiang and Mrs. Qiu?
"The poor monk wants to go deep into the Qiu family's mansion to check the situation. If there are people who are not affected by the evil thoughts, maybe they can be saved."
When Bai Lu heard this, she looked at Jiang Ran.
She was a weak woman with no strength in her arms, and she was holding a child in her arms.
At this moment, how can you have any ideas?
Naturally, we have to rely on Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and then said:
"The Demon Cult has done many evil things. A hundred years ago, Chu Nanfeng was a heroic hero who punished rape and eliminated evil.
"I was born in a good era, and I have never seen the massacre by the demon sect, nor have I ever had the chance to eliminate evil with my own hands... Now this opportunity is really rare, so I asked the master to take me along.
"However, Mrs. Qiu, please don't wander off.
"This place is safe for the time being. I will keep my men here to keep my wife safe.
"After we have inspected all the Qiu clan, we will meet up with Madam Qiu.
"I wonder what Mrs. Qiu thinks?"
Bai Lu nodded immediately:
"It all depends on Mr. Jiang's arrangements."
"Then it's settled."
Jiang Ran looked at the evil monk:
"Master, I will go deep into the mansion with you to investigate.
"But I don't know if Master can also leave a senior brother to protect Mrs. Qiu's safety."
The evil monk did not hesitate when he heard the words. He turned his eyes around and said:
"Stop being angry and arrogant, you two stay here.
"Protect the safety of Mrs. Qiu.
"Jie Ming, Jie Hui, you guys follow me."
Several monks behind him immediately agreed.
Jiang Ran also asked Ye Jingshuang, Ye Jingxue, and the eldest princess to follow him.
The evil monk looked at this scene and frowned slightly.
As a monk, when I see this man with three wives and four concubines, surrounded by women, I inevitably want to preach.
But when the words came to my mouth, I still felt unfamiliar.
Simply shut his mouth.
Immediately after the group of six people made arrangements, Monk Jiejie jumped into the sky and took the lead in clearing the way.
Jiang Ran glanced at Shuangxue and the other two, then gave the eldest princess a wink, then jumped up and followed the three great monks.
The house in the Qiu Clan is a large complex of buildings. The eldest son, Qiu, has always been marginalized because he has no heirs, so he lives on the outskirts of the Qiu Clan.
The monk Jiejie took the lead and the group of people ran on the roof.
However, except for the dots of lights wherever he passed, and even if he occasionally saw a few people, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Especially when the monk who abstains from evil appears in front of a person, the person immediately exclaims:
"who?"
But after shouting like this, his eyes became blurred not long after.
Then he took out a single knife from behind and slashed with a wave of his hand.
And with this one, the others seemed to have received some kind of order, and they all gathered together to chop Jiang Ran and his group into dumpling fillings.
Fortunately, the Buddhist Zen sound of the monk who abstains from evil has a strong restraint effect on this.
But the final result was that they broke free.
But they also bleed to death from their seven orifices. Occasionally, there are a few immortals who are worse off than dead.
The monk who abstained from evil walked all the way. Looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, the evil of demonic religion is a cancer for the world."
Jiang Ran nodded in agreement while listening, but felt quite puzzled in his heart.
He had fought with Wang Zhao of Wen Xinzhai before, but he didn't see him as capable in this area. How did the Qiu clan end up in such a situation?
As for the cancer in the world... Jiang Ran does not deny that the Demon Cult is indeed not a good thing. After all, people who only follow their own hearts are very likely to do evil.
It is full of disregard for life.
Not only to others, but also to yourself.
But looking at the whole thing, if Jun Hezai hadn't contacted these people, they would have launched an inexplicable offensive against them in advance without the Demon Cult provoking them.
The Qiu clan would never be where they are now.
In addition, Jiang Ran has another question.
Not long before arriving here, there were people sent by the Qiu family to assassinate Bai Lu.
If the Qiu clan falls apart, who will be the one sending the assassins?
I am afraid that these questions can only be answered after finding someone from the Qiu clan.
But at this moment, a bloody sword light suddenly illuminated the sky.
The leader's face changed, and he turned the Zen staff in his hand. He heard the ding-ding-ding-ding-ding sound, and the sword light and the Zen staff intertwined in succession, making a continuous sound.
While Jiang Ran was watching coldly, he saw a figure suddenly coming and slashed hard with a single sword in his hand!!
Having just dealt with a round of sword rays, the Zen staff in his hand turned and met the blade.
There was only a tinkling sound.
A sharp edge suddenly spread from the place where the two collided, spreading in all directions.
The evil monk raised his head and saw the man in front of him, and his expression suddenly changed:
"Master Qiu!?"
Jiang Ran was stunned when he heard this, and looked intently at the other person's appearance.
I saw this man in his thirties, wearing dark clothes with blood stains on them.
His sword skills were fierce and decisive, but his face was full of confusion.
After hearing what the Buddhist monk said, although there was no response, he did not answer the question:
"How does Starlight overcome the demonic body?"
"What?"
The monk who abstained from evil was stunned.
I saw Master Qiu suddenly change the blade, and the light in his eyes instantly changed from confusion to fierceness:
"Good sword skills can be stained with blood if necessary!!"
The sword light was suddenly covered with blood, and veins appeared all over Prince Qiu's face.
"Step aside!!"
The evil monk exclaimed in surprise and immediately flew out of the way.
A muffled sound was heard, the blade fell, and the force of the blade directly opened a furrow on the roof.
But at this moment, Master Qiu suddenly showed a look of panic:
"I'll learn, I'll learn! I'll learn right now!
"Don't hurt my son, I can do whatever you want!!!"
Then he stood on the spot with a knife, as if he didn't know what night it was and had forgotten his past and present lives.
Jiang Ran looked at the evil monk and spoke slowly:
"They learned the sword skills of the Demon Cult."
Jiang Ran had already seen before that these people who had lost their minds were using the Star-Piercing Demon Slash.
However, in their hands, this sword technique was mediocre and lacked any significant merit.
Apart from being strong in numbers, not afraid of death, and having scary eyes, it doesn't have any value at all.
Awen once said that he secretly learned the Star-Piercing Demon Slash from Erfang.
From this, it can be seen that there are indeed people in the second room who are practicing the Star-Piercing Demon Slash.
But Jiang Ran didn't expect that even Master Qiu would practice this sword technique.
However, judging from his words, he must have been forced.
Could it be that the Second Young Master Qiu discovered that there was something mysterious in this sword technique, so he just found the First Young Master to try it on him?
But looking at it as a whole, if this is really the case, then it is not just the eldest son that the second young master Qiu wants to try.
When Jiang Ran speculated like this in his mind, the evil monk sighed:
"People in the devil's religion confuse people's hearts.
"How can we learn the evil magic?
"The Qiu clan took away the demon sect disciple just because of this martial art...
"I didn't expect that the Qiu family would end up like this because of this."
He said, took a deep breath and put his hands together:
"Amitabha!!"
The sound of Sanskrit cannot be heard, the sound comes from the bottom of the heart.
However, at this moment, the tiles on the roof exploded, and Mr. Qiu let out a groan of extreme pain and squatted down holding his head.
He looked up suddenly:
"Stop talking, stop talking!!
"She is not a spy! That child is really mine! It is mine!!!"
After saying this, he suddenly rose into the air, but when he reached mid-air, he seemed to have lost all his martial arts skills. He suddenly fell into the yard and rolled all over the ground.
Looking up again, tears of blood welled up in his eyes:
"Dad... help me, help me... I can't control myself, I don't know what's wrong with me...
"There is an evil spirit hidden in this sword technique, there is an evil spirit hidden in it!!!"
Turning over and standing up, all the expressions on his face suddenly disappeared.
He became extremely indifferent, and only the bloody sword in his hand was showing its edge.
But at this moment, a finger was already on the back of his neck.
The indifference in his eyes disappeared instantly, and then he rolled his eyes and collapsed on the ground, revealing Jiang Ran behind him.
The evil monk exhaled softly:
"Thank you very much, Donor Jiang."
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"This person's situation is a bit strange...
"The master used the Great Brahma Zen sound before, and every time people woke up, they would bleed to death from their seven orifices.
"Oh, master, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that you kill innocent people indiscriminately. In fact, this demon cult member is too vicious.
"But Mr. Qiu did not die or regain his consciousness after being exposed to the Buddhist Zen sound. This aspect is actually much better than the others."
"The people we met before were all ordinary disciples of the Qiu clan.
"As an eldest son, Mr. Qiu is stronger than ordinary people in terms of martial arts and mental abilities.
"It's not surprising that he can be injured without dying."
The evil monk frowned:
"The poor monk is a little concerned about what he just said...
"Who forced him to practice this evil sect?
"Or is this just nonsense from his mind?"
Jiang Ran knelt down and took Master Qiu's wrist. After a little inspection, he sighed softly:
"The devil's martial arts are really evil, and the meridians in his body are also in a mess.
"If you want to recover... I'm afraid it will be difficult. Even if you don't die and regain your consciousness, your martial arts skills will be useless."
Jieli, who was beside the evil monk, suddenly came to the side of Master Qiu:
"No matter what, he is still alive, let the poor monk take him..."
As he said that, he was about to lift Mr. Qiu up when he heard a voice saying:
"The master of Dafan Zen Temple is indeed compassionate.
"But I don't need to worry about this matter, Master... Can you hand him over to me?"
Hearing the sound, the master of abstaining from evil immediately turned around.
There was a creaking sound, the door opened, and a young man walked out.
Jiang Ran was not surprised when he saw him.
When Monk Jie-e was fighting with Mr. Qiu just now, this man was peeking in this room.
At this moment, he finally showed up.
And after he took two steps, he smiled slightly:
"I have met the Master of Jieying Evil. I haven't seen him for a long time since we parted ways in Yanxu City.
"The master's style remains the same."
"...Second Young Master Qiu?"
The evil monk seemed relieved, but frowned:
"Are you okay? Mr. Qiu, what on earth is going on?"
"Alas...it's a long story."
Young Master Qiu sighed softly, and looked at Jiang Ran and others, a little surprised:
"Who are these?"
"In the lower reaches of the river..."
Jiang Ran said the fictitious identity aside again.
In a hurry, Young Master Qiu couldn't tell the truth from the false. Anyway, he came with Jiejie, so he nodded:
"I see... We are guests from afar. I should have treated you well, but I didn't expect that Young Master Jiang would see us in such a miserable state.
"Well, Master Jielu doesn't need to take action, just let me do it."
As he said this, he took the place of Jie Lu and carried Prince Qiu on his back, and then said:
"Everyone, come with me...
"Unfortunately for our family, the Qiu family can only take shelter underground for the time being."
He said and returned to the room again.
Jiang Ran and the master of abstaining from evil looked at each other and followed him.
The master of abstaining from evil asked as he walked:
"Why did Second Young Master Qiu say this?"
The question was naturally about the four words "unfortunate family".
Young Master Qiu quickly opened a secret passage, and a staircase appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately, a group of people walked down the stairs. Young Master Qiu said as they walked:
"That day in Yanxu City, we fought side by side and defeated the demon sect's thieves.
"This matter should have ended here.
"But I didn't expect that the eldest brother would secretly follow me, wanting to shine in this battle... As for the reason for this move, I think you all understand it.
"It's just that there is no room for him to intervene in this battle.
"There are so many masters of Baimumen, Dafan Zen Temple is the most powerful place in the world with Buddhist teachings, not to mention Xuanji Academy.
"The four major aristocratic families who went there were all experts. The eldest brother watched from a distance and did not take action in the end.
"But I don't know what I was thinking, and I secretly hid a seriously injured demon disciple.
"And secretly took it home.
"Later, when I noticed it, I found out that he had been learning martial arts from this demon sect disciple.
"He said that there was no place for him in the family anymore.
"It is impossible to become the head of the Qiu family in this life, and when I become the head of the family, there will definitely be no place for him.
"So, no matter whether he is a demon sect or not, as long as he can be taught advanced martial arts, he can stand in the world and still have a foothold after breaking away from the Qiu clan.
"That's enough..."
At this point, he sighed:
"Actually, my eldest brother has fallen into a demonic barrier.
"Even if I inherit the position of the head of the family, how can I leave him without a foothold?
"And how can one learn the evil martial arts of those in the Demon Cult?"
The master of abstaining from evil nodded repeatedly:
"What Mr. Qiu said is very true.
"But I don't know how the Qiu family became like this?"
Young Master Qiu frowned and shook his head:
“I don’t know that at all…
"I only know that all this must have been done by my elder brother after he was bewitched by the demon.
"And the reason why we retreat underground is because... even my father has not escaped the murderous hands.
"During the day, everything looked normal to him.
"When night fell, he would pick up the knife and run away. When he saw us and others who were still conscious, he would kill us.
"The situation here is so bizarre that I really can't figure it out."
"Amitabha."
The monk who abstains from evil puts his hands together:
"I think all of this is the devil's treacherous tactics.
"But I don't know where the demon disciple is now? If this person is here, there will be a way to solve the crisis of the Qiu clan."
Young Master Qiu's eyes lit up:
"What the master said is exactly what Xiao Ke thought. Fortunately, this demon is here now, imprisoned by us.
"However, this person has a tough talk. No matter how we use our methods, it is difficult to extract any information from him.
"Master... you are an eminent monk, do you know if there is a way to subdue this demon?"
The evil monk was stunned for a moment, while Jiang Ran's eyes lit up slightly when he heard, "This demon is here now."
