“If the other party is targeting the Li family, why didn’t they leave?”

“Why didn’t they leave? Unfortunately, it was useless. Early the next morning, when the first person died, a nephew of Official Li followed his wife to her maiden home twenty miles away to avoid trouble. But guess what? That night, he was hung at the door of Official Li’s house.”

“In the past few days, the Li family has also invited many Dharma Masters, but no one has come out alive.”

Li Xuanxin sighed slightly. It seemed that this ghost was very fierce.

…

The two of them quickly arrived at Official Li’s residence.

There were two white lanterns hanging at the door and some white paper money scattered on the ground. It looked especially terrifying.

“Master, this is it. I’ll call for help.”

The village leader looked into the mansion fearfully and shouted,

“Official Li, the Master is here. Aren’t you going to come out and welcome him?”

Not long after, Official Li, who had a pair of panda eyes, walked out in a daze.

Seeing Li Xuanxin, his red eyes were about to cry.

He staggered two steps and arrived in front of Li Xuanxin. He knelt down.

“Master, you have to save us! If this continues, our entire family won’t be able to survive.”

Li Xuanxin consoled, “Amitabha. Don’t worry.”

The village chief reminded, “Official Li, aren’t you going to invite the Master in?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Master, please.”

After entering the courtyard, Official Li pointed at the mourning hall and said with a trembling voice,

“Master, she has been staying in the mourning hall. We don’t dare to go in.”

“It’s fine. Wait here. I’ll go in and take a look.”

Li Xuanxin stepped into the hall.

Boom—!

Just as he stepped into the hall, the next second, the door closed on its own, scaring everyone outside.

“Village chief, can this master do it? Why do I feel that he’s very young?”

The village chief wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

“There shouldn’t be… any problem, right? Many masters have been cultivating the Buddhist Dharma since they were young. Although they look young, their cultivation shouldn’t be shallow.”

In the mourning hall, the door closed heavily, but Li Xuanxin was expressionless.

He, who had more than four hundred years of cultivation, had long seen through the other party’s tricks.

He came to the coffin and looked inside. A dead woman in red lay quietly inside.

Perhaps because it had been too long, her bloated body had returned to normal. However, in this June weather, after dying for so long, there was no stench. A black aura circled around her body.

The resentment was too strong!

Tick… tick…

There, a woman in red was standing upside down. Her skin was pale and she wore a wet red robe and long black hair. She severely violated the law of gravity and floated in the air as if she was in water.

“So… so handsome…”

The moment the female ghost saw his face, she could not help but be stunned.

Li Xuanxin said calmly, “Amitabha. Since you’ve already passed away, you should be buried in peace. Why do you still want to stay in the mortal world?”

The female ghost came back to her senses. She spun around and slowly floated towards Li Xuanxin. Her pale face began to reveal a sinister expression.

“I’m not resigned! I joined the Li family since I was young and became a married woman who showed filial piety and respect to my in-laws. In the end, I was abandoned. I want the entire Li family to be buried with me and let that heartless person suffer for the rest of his life.”

The surrounding air fluctuated with her mood, and it became colder. The tables and chairs even began to tremble slightly.

“Amitabha. The person who betrayed you is your husband. Your in-laws have no ill intentions towards you. Why do you want to implicate the innocent?”

“If you kill them, you will also fall into the endless hell and suffer punishment for eternity.”

“It’s not too late to stop now.”

The ghost retorted, “So what? If you want to blame someone, blame them for raising that heartless person!”

“I want to kill all the Li family members and let them live in pain forever.”

“If you stop me, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

Killing intent filled the air, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to have decreased by several degrees.

Li Xuanxin sighed slightly.

“As a Buddhist disciple, I naturally can’t watch you harm others.”

“You’re courting death! Don’t think that just because you’re good-looking that I won’t hit you! If you dare to stop me, I’ll still kill you!”

In the mourning hall, a violent wind suddenly blew. The female ghost’s teeth protruded and her ten nails extended like steel claws as she pounced at Li Xuanxin.

The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture circulated on its own and formed a golden protective shield around Li Xuanxin, firmly guarding him and isolating him from the female ghost.

“Why?”

Li Xuanxin clasped his hands and raised his index fingers. He pressed his two thumbs against the edge on his ring finger and directly activated the first fundamental seal of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation—Single Seal.

“Namah samanta vajrānām, ham!”

The moment the seal appeared, the room shone brightly. A supreme power instantly bombarded the female ghost.

She did not even have time to scream before her soul dissipated.

The seal was too strong and even dispersed the Yin Qi in the entire hall. It was domineering and unreasonable.

The violent wind in the entire room instantly vanished without a trace. Everything returned to silence.

Li Xuanxin was silent for a moment. Could a hundred years of cultivation base kill the ghost completely?

The first time he attacked, his strength was too strong. He could not control it!

“Amitabha. A monk does not lie. I only used a hundred years of cultivation to execute this move. It’s considered very light and not lying to Official Li.”

With a light cough, Li Xuanxin took away a hint of evil aura from Chen Jinlian and left.

Official Li, the village chief, and the others were overjoyed to see Li Xuanxin walk out unscathed.

“Master!”

“The first few were either dead or injured. Master can actually come out unscathed. His Dharmic powers are really powerful!”

“Chen Jinlian has already been expiated by me. You can choose a good day to bury her.”

Everyone was even more delighted.

“Master is really powerful!”

Official Li heaved a sigh of relief. The gloominess of the past few days was immediately swept away.

“Jinlian was also suffering. My Li family has let her down. I hope that she can find a good family in her next life. Master, this is ten taels of silver. It’s the good silver of my Li family. I’ll deposit it in the Merit Box.”

“You’re welcome. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”

“Take care, Master.”

Li Xuanxin bowed again, carried her bamboo basket, and left the Li family.

However, before leaving the Li family’s ancestral mansion, Li Xuanxin let go of the evil aura in his sleeve.

“Namah samanta vajrānām, ham!”

With a move of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation’s Devastation Curse, it mixed with this evil aura and headed straight for the Blue Sea City.

Every injustice had its perpetrator!

The one who caused all of this was Official Li’s son.

She was not killed by him, but died because of him.

Now that he had taken a few lives, he had committed a heavy sin. He would spend the rest of his life surrounded by sores. It was a fate worse than death.

[Punished the scumbag. Merit +44.]

Hearing this voice, Li Xuanxin was stunned and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It was originally something he had done on the spot. He did not expect it to also be considered merit!

However, on careful thought, punishing evil and promoting good was merit, and punishing evil was also merit.

Because of his lust for women, Official Li’s son had caused the deaths of several people. It was not an exaggeration to call him a villain.

It seemed that the sages were right.

‘Don’t be reluctant to do a small good deed, and don’t ignore a small bad deed!’
