Li Xiuyuan only took action to kill one ghost-eating ghost king, but only half of the remaining eight troublemaking ghost kings were left.
Several ghost kings died here one after another.
Every time a statue dies, the ghosts and gods nearby who see this scene are shocked.
The ghost king who has been guiding the Tao for thousands of years, usually a supreme existence, is now being killed one by one by the saints in the world. His methods are fair and just, his principles are convincing, there is nothing to say, and the most important thing is that from the beginning to the end
In the end, no saint in the world took action again.
He just pointed out the crime of one ghost king in a few words. In order to take credit, the other ghost kings couldn't wait to take action for the human saint and eliminate the ghost kings who were his companions before.
"Red-Eyed Ghost King, your crimes are clearly written on it. Even if you have done some good work in eliminating evil just now, your achievements can only offset your major crimes. You still have dozens of minor crimes that cannot be offset." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
, looking at the crime of the red-eyed ghost king in his hand.
Perhaps because of his good luck, or perhaps because the ghost king who reported him was merciful, the great evil above was perfectly offset.
The red-eyed ghost king was extremely nervous at this moment. Although his face was still calm, there was also fear in his eyes.
"Now that the kid's major sin has been canceled, what about the remaining minor sins?" He asked with a somewhat stiff voice.
Li Xiuyuan said: "You don't have to be afraid. I said before that I will try to be as liberal as possible. Since your major sins have been offset and your minor sins are still there, then naturally you are a sinner who does not deserve to die."
As soon as these words came out, the red-eyed ghost king suddenly felt relaxed all over his body, and couldn't help but cheer a little.
He swore that he had never been so happy in his life.
The feeling of escaping from death is truly wonderful.
The red-eyed ghost king also saw at this moment that the fierce gazes of the other ghost kings had been withdrawn. These damn guys, if Li Xiuyuan had sentenced him to death just now, then he would have ended up like the previous ghost kings.
.
Li Xiuyuan added: "But the death penalty can be avoided, but you still have to suffer some punishment. I will give you two choices now. One is to cut off six hundred years of Taoism and leave here. You are still a ghost king. As long as you don't do evil in the future, I, Li Xiuyuan,
I promise I won’t cause trouble for you again.”
Cut six hundred years of Taoism?
The red-eyed ghost king's expression changed again. After losing six hundred years of Taoism, am he still the ghost king?
At best, it's just a more powerful ghost general.
How can a ghost general's moral conduct secure his position as the ghost king?
"May I ask what the second option is?" the red-eyed ghost king asked cautiously.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since the crime does not lead to death, but you do not accept the punishment of reducing Taoism, then naturally you have to do meritorious deeds to make up for the crime. If you are willing and can promise to fulfill your duties in the future and never do evil again, I can let go of the past, but I
Someone will supervise you. If you commit another crime, I will never forgive you."
With this statement, the meaning is already obvious.
Either be deprived of six hundred years of Taoism, or take refuge in Li Xiuyuan and work honestly.
The red-eyed ghost king weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and immediately said: "The little ghost is willing to fulfill his duties, benefit the people of the world, and forgive his own sins."
He felt that it would be better to get through this hurdle first. It would be better to accept it first than to be cut off from the Taoist line.
"Since you have the intention to change, that's the best thing." Li Xiuyuan said.
He planned to let the red-eyed ghost king go, because it was very simple. He couldn't kill all the ghost kings. Although these ghost kings had plotted against him, killing them all was just a bad idea. If he could instigate a few ghost kings and kill a few ghost kings,
Then the injury just now was not in vain.
In addition, the intention of letting this ghost king go is also to prevent other ghost kings from jumping over the wall.
Lest they think that the atonement is just a pretense, in fact, they want to kill them.
"Black-faced Ghost King, I am no longer willing to list your crimes. There are ten major crimes and more than two hundred minor crimes for you. Even if you have merit in eradicating evil, this merit is far from enough to offset your crimes.
, You deserve to be punished today." When Li Xiuyuan saw the crime committed by the Black-faced Ghost King, his expression immediately became stern and he threw away the guilt note in his hand.
"If you don't mind, just take a look."
The black-faced ghost king didn't even look at it, and immediately said in horror: "The little ghost is also willing to atone for his sins, and he is also willing to atone for his sins. I ask you, the saint in the world, to be accommodating."
"My net is only open to those who can forgive. Your sins cannot be forgiven. I will not have mercy on such evil ghosts. What are you ghost kings waiting for and not punishing the evil ones?" Li Xiuyuan shouted.
Before he could finish his words, the long-bearded ghost king, the long-tongued ghost king, and the red-eyed ghost king who had taken refuge before immediately started to take action impatiently.
The dark wind howled and roared again and again.
The black-faced ghost king was torn to pieces by the ghost kings in the blink of an eye, and his body was torn into pieces. With a scream, he turned into evil wind and dispersed in all directions.
Li Xiuyuan has become more powerful and powerful. He has instigated the rebellion of three ghost kings. Now the situation has been completely controlled by him. The black-faced ghost king doesn't even have the courage to escape. He just keeps shouting for mercy.
With the death of the Black-faced Ghost King, there are now five Ghost Kings left.
"I have already denounced the long-bearded ghost king for his previous crimes. I have reduced his moral conduct by five hundred years. As you can see, his moral conduct is no longer as good as other ghost kings."
Li Xiuyuan spoke slowly, "The Long-tongued Ghost King had previously done some good work in uncovering the Ghost-Eating Ghost King's conspiracy. In addition, he had successively eliminated evil, so the major sins had been offset. There were still a few minor sins left, so one hundred years of Taoism would be cut off as punishment.
"
"Thank you to the saint in this world." The long-tongued ghost king bowed in surprise at this moment, looking like he was willing to be punished.
It's just that a hundred years of Taoism may cause some slight pain, but ghosts and gods with a little understanding know that this is just a show.
"Then there are still the mother-in-law ghost king and the sword-wielding ghost king. Your crimes have not yet been summed up." Li Xiuyuan then focused his eyes and looked at the last two ghost kings.
Now that the Ten Kings Palace exists in name only, the remaining two ghost kings are no longer able to make trouble, and they don't even have the capital to jump over the wall in a hurry.
The sword-wielding ghost king and the mother-child ghost king were also trembling slightly at this moment, because they did not know the extent of their crimes. Maybe they could leave alive today, or maybe they would be eliminated on the spot like the previous ghost kings.
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much. He just quietly looked through the crime book in his hand and counted the crimes of the two ghost kings in detail.
When the ghosts and gods from all over the world saw that the situation had been decided, they couldn't help but cheer for joy. They couldn't help but start talking, praising the methods and abilities of the saints in the world. All kinds of strange sounds could be heard, especially at night, which seemed particularly special.
It's so clear that people who don't know it would think that a lively cocktail party is being held here, with countless guests staying up and drinking and talking.
But at this moment, I am outside the house.
Fu Qingfeng, Fu Yuechi and guard Xiao Liu walked towards this place with a somewhat guilty conscience.
Before they even got close, they saw candlelight reflected on the mansion, making it look like it was brightly lit, and at the same time there were the voices of many guests.
"Isn't this a haunted house? It's so busy at night. It's not like what you said, brother Xiaoliu. It's deserted." Fu Qingfeng's face was full of curiosity and confusion at this moment.
"This, this kid doesn't even know." Xiao Liu was also a little confused.
The famous haunted house in Jinling City seems to be different from the rumors.
"Sister, let's sneak over the wall and take a look." Fu Yuechi said impatiently.
Fu Qingfeng nodded and said: "Then let's be careful not to be discovered by Mr. Li, otherwise we will definitely not be able to hide our escape from our father."
A pair of sisters from Qingfeng Yuechi came to a courtyard wall outside the house out of curiosity and prepared to climb up the wall to have a look.
However, their behavior has been clearly seen by the nearby ghosts and gods.
"Who are these two girls? They came here in the middle of the night to climb the wall. Are they female thieves? They came to the residence of a saint in the world to be thieves. This is unforgivable. They need to be punished a little." Immediately there was a person.
The ghosts and gods planned to cast a spell to punish the two sisters.
"They are not female thieves. They are the daughters of Fu Tianchou, the Minister of War. Please let them go this time." A man wearing armor and looking like a general, holding a copper hammer, suddenly appeared in the air and stopped him.
The ghost cast a spell.
"It turns out that he is the daughter of Mr. Fu, the Minister of War. He is a good and good official with merit. For the sake of Mr. Fu, he is exempted." The ghost nodded and gave up the plan of casting the spell.
Other ghosts and gods also saw it, but they felt that the two sisters were just mortals with no Taoism and only superficial martial arts, so they could not affect anything.
And there are at least dozens of ghosts and gods monitoring them.
"Make a little noise, or you'll be discovered."
Fu Qingfeng reminded in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoliu, please keep watch nearby. If anyone comes, call us."
"Sister, don't worry, no one will come back at this late hour." Fu Yuechi said.
They didn't know that every move they made was being watched by ghosts and gods, but there was an old ghost sitting on the wall next to them, watching them carefully as they climbed the wall.
Although Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were women, they were not weak women because they had practiced martial arts, and they quickly climbed up the wall.
When they stretched out their heads and looked curiously into the so-called haunted house, they were stunned for a moment.
"Sister, look, it's the Li Xiuyuan from the daytime, Master Li. What is he doing standing there?" Fu Yuechi gently pulled the sister next to him and pointed at Li Xiuyuan in the courtyard.
At this moment, he was looking through the charges, but he didn't know that the two sisters had secretly come here at night.
"What happened here? Why are there arrows everywhere?" Fu Qingfeng looked at Li Xiuyuan, but found that in the courtyard, arrows were stuck everywhere on the walls and roofs, as if they were struck by countless bows and arrows.
Same as shot.
"There is a Taoist sitting there, it seems to be the single Taoist from the Hou Mansion. Sister, do you think it is right?"
"Is it really Taoist Shan? He is actually here?" Fu Qingfeng became a little confused.
Taoist Shan is a guest of the Hou Mansion. He is highly regarded by Mr. Li Hou and is a very capable Taoist priest. He did not expect to appear in this haunted house today.
"Sister, let's sneak in and take a look." Fu Yuechi whispered.
"Where did the thief come from, who wanted to sneak into the house late at night? If you don't leave quickly, do you want to be arrested and reported to the police?"
However, just when Fu Yuechi had this idea, a loud shout came from the sky, hoping to scare the two people away with words, so as not to disturb the banquet.
"Ah, no, I've been discovered." Fu Yuechi panicked for a moment. She had a guilty conscience and subconsciously wanted to escape, but she was so confused that she fell from the wall into the courtyard with a cry of surprise.
Li Xiuyuan heard the scolding from the ghost and immediately looked subconsciously, only to see Fu Yuechi's figure falling from the wall in a panic.
"Sister, be careful." Fu Qingfeng became anxious and stretched out his hand to pull, but it was too late.
The courtyard wall is one foot high, and injuries are inevitable if it falls.
"Save people." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Immediately, gusts of dark wind howled out, and a figure vaguely appeared in the wind, but it was an old ghost on the wall of the nearby courtyard who immediately cast a spell to save him.
Fu Yuechi fell down and was about to fall badly, but when he was swept by the evil wind, his whole body felt light and he was floating in the air. Then when he came back to his senses, his feet were already steady.
It fell to the ground.
"Sister, are you okay?" Fu Qingfeng jumped down and said hurriedly.
"Sister, I'm fine, just now..." Fu Yuechi said with some lingering fear, wanting to talk about the weird thing that just happened.
However, Li Xiuyuan walked over at this moment and asked: "So it's Miss Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi? I wonder why these two ladies broke into my mansion in the middle of the night?"
"This, this..."
Fu Qingfeng's face was red with embarrassment and he was a little at a loss. He didn't expect to be caught by his master this time.
Fu Yuechi shook his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "My sister and I heard that this haunted house is haunted, so we wanted to take a look."
"Oh, what are you looking at?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Of course I'm seeing ghosts. Didn't you say there are ghosts in this world?" Fu Yuechi straightened his chest and said confidently.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Did you see it?"
"Sure enough, you are lying. There are no ghosts here at all. You are the only one in this courtyard, and there is a single Taoist priest." Fu Yuechi snorted softly: "You scholars are just lying. My father actually believes your words."
Already."
"Really, then take a look again." Li Xiuyuan smiled and pointed around.
"No, it means no, what else do we need to see..." Fu Yuechi said, but her face suddenly froze before she finished speaking.
But suddenly, many people appeared in the originally empty courtyard.
A tall, thin man with a long beard and chest, a black face, wearing an ancient military uniform and an imperial crown on his head, is looking here with green light in his eyes.
There was also a tall man with red eyes, who seemed to be glowing from fire, and he was also looking here.
There was even a woman wearing a red dress, holding a cyan baby in her arms and staring at her with a half-smile. The baby in her arms didn't look alive, but dead. She shook her head and let out bursts of sounds.
Weird scream.
While looking at the sky, countless strange people were floating there, all looking towards this place.
"Sister, there is a ghost." Fu Yuechi screamed in fear, turned around, hugged Fu Qingfeng, and hid in her arms, trembling with fear.
