Chapter 314: Chapter 161 Option 2_2

The mighty rabbit was once again controlled by evil, drooling as it stroked Chen Shi’s head, laughing foolishly and foolishly, "You..."

"Yes!"

Chen Shi puffed out his chest, laughing, "It’s me! The initial target of Ku Zhu was none other than me, the number one Child Scholar of the fifty provinces!"

The mighty rabbit was startled by him and quickly withdrew its hand.

"Of course, besides me," Chen Shi continued, "he had a second target, and that was the equally exceptional Li Tianqing! Master Yu, do you know why?"

At the address ’Master Yu,’ the rabbit’s sanity returned somewhat.

"That question is too simple for you to waste time answering."

Chen Shi laughed, "Because Li Tianqing secured the first-grade Divine Embryo, the Purple Jade Divine Fetus! The Purple Jade Divine Fetus is also rare in this world; one or two a year would already be very remarkable! When Zen Master Ku heard that a first-grade Divine Embryo appeared in Xinxiang County, he rushed over and found that Shen Yusheng had already been harvested by the Li Family. He must have been disappointed, but to his delight, there was also Li Tianqing in Xinxiang, who also possessed a first-grade Divine Embryo! However, Li Tianqing is still a tiny bit inferior to me, so he is second in line."

The mighty rabbit lost interest in him. A self-loving "mushroom" might not taste so good.

Chen Shi said, "What I said isn’t without evidence. Zen Master Ku and his disciple’s initial target was Li Tianqing, which is why they traveled with him to Gongzhou. It wasn’t until they boarded the boat that they realized the boat girl and the boatman were Yin messengers, and therefore, they dared not make a move. After arriving in Gongzhou, when Li Tianqing went to register at the Academic Officer, they also went there to register and rest at the post station in the eastern part of the city. This coincidence is too much!"

"An even greater coincidence was that, that night, I was resting at the post station, too!"

Chen Shi exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Two such exceptional youngsters, gathered together, and thus Zen Master Ku died that very night! His death was abrupt, but it was all part of his scheme."

They arrived outside the main hall of Red Mountain Hall, where many Talisman Masters had already gathered, staring blankly as Chen Shi walked in with a hairless, giant rabbit.

The rabbit, over two zhang tall and extremely robust, with bulging muscles, blood-red eyes, and long, sharp teeth, was an embodiment of evil energy.

Such an Evil Spirit made the Talisman Masters tense up, as slips of yellow talismans quietly slid out from their sleeves, ready to eliminate this Evil Spirit at a moment’s notice.

Red Mountain Hall, a gathering place for Talisman Masters dedicated to the exorcism of evil, was now boldly challenged by this Evil Spirit—truly a case of ’the emperor’s envoy courting death by hanging’, apparently too tired of living!

The mighty rabbit sensed the hostility and grew even more anxious.

"Don’t worry, they won’t recognize you," Chen Shi whispered reassuringly.

"Hall Master, you’re back!" cried Crane Child, flapping his wings as he flew over happily.

...

The inside and outside of Red Mountain Hall were dead silent.

Li Tianqing heard the news and came out, surprised to see the mighty rabbit, "Little Ten, you’ve found Master Yu? And he is still in his demonic form?"

...

The Talisman Masters, instructors, and Incense Masters of Red Mountain Hall all looked in the same direction. They saw the mighty rabbit with its back to them, its broad and thick back appearing extremely reliable, while Chen Shi sat beside it, whispering conspiratorially.

"We didn’t finish speaking just now. I’ll tell you all my conjectures, and you see if they’re right."

Chen Shi’s gaze flickered, "Ku Zhu faked his death, making everyone believe that the Demon Transformation was his corpse, but in fact, it was a demon he had suppressed and released quietly. The Golden Body Bodhisattva enshrined at Great Baoguo Temple had subdued many demons, and for someone with Ku Zhu’s status, capturing a demon shouldn’t be too difficult. After the Demon Transformation is complete, everyone here will be dead, leaving only him,"

The mighty rabbit propped its cheeks with its hands, its blood-red eyes spinning, occasionally sneaking glances at Chen Shi with a murderous look.

This little guy said no one could recognize him, but now everyone does!

A single punch from me would surely beat him to a pulp!

Chen Shi continued, "At that time, he gets to dictate what the ’truth’ is. Ku Zhu’s reputation remains intact, and he gets another chance at life. As for the demon, maybe it dies in the siege by others, or under the watchful eye of Outer Heaven True God, what does it have to do with him? Perhaps..."

He smiled faintly, "Maybe after taking another’s body, he’ll act as the exorcist, earning himself a fine reputation!"

The mighty rabbit clenched its fist, grinding its teeth, "Kill..."

It wanted to say ’kill you’, but could only stutter two syllables, unable to continue.

Chen Shi crossed his hands behind his head and lay back casually, "Indeed, I intend to kill him. After killing him, I can verify my conjecture."

His eyes twinkled as he smiled, "But before that, I’ll help you refine away your evil nature!"

The mighty rabbit, about to punch him to death, paused immediately upon hearing this.

Chen Shi sat up, smiling, "Summon your Primordial Spirit."

The mighty rabbit summoned its Primordial Spirit, also a rabbit, which was suddenly drawn into the small temple with a flash of light.

Chen Shi activated his Cultivation Technique; Righteous Qi circulated, gradually refining the evil nature from Yu Tiancheng’s Primordial Spirit.

Yu Tiancheng’s Primordial Spirit sat on the shrine, feeling its evil energy diminishing and its mind and disposition slowly returning to normal.

"Thank you, Scholar," he said softly.

Chen Shi replied, "You’ll stay in my shrine for a few more days. I’ll purge the evil nature from you, but as for the evil in your physical body, I’m afraid I can’t help."

Yu Tiancheng thanked him again.

Chen Shi immediately stood up, took a small knife, and walked toward Black Pot.

"Good brother, lend me some blood!"

He lunged forward, causing a chaotic commotion.

Zen Master Ku, the human head mushroom, returned to Daxing Zen Temple, collapsing under the mushroom-shaped Golden Body Buddha, coughing up a few mouthfuls of golden blood, his face alternating between light and dark.
