Quick time travel villain

Chapter 67 [The Demonic Monk]

After these words, the county magistrate was silent for a long while before he said, "I don't know what is the so-called master's coming this time?"

The county magistrate went on the road, and the monk was also happy and relaxed: "The poor monk wants to do a ritual for the people of Qinghe County before leaving."

The monk's words made the county magistrate remain silent for a while, obviously, he was carefully considering the importance of this ritual.

In the opinion of the county magistrate, the monk's skills must be inferior to the wandering Taoist priest in the mansion. After all, the monk went to the moat and did not startle the slightest splash, but the wandering Taoist priest actually solved their flood problem in Qinghe County.

It's actually okay to sell the monk to save face and let him do a ritual.

As for the murder of the beautiful woman in the city by the magistrate, the county magistrate never thought that the monk in front of him already knew all about it.

The county magistrate is secretive, so how could the county magistrate think that even the flood in Qinghe County was caused by Xiaohe God because he couldn't understand his son's actions.

The county magistrate thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement with the monk's request.

"The poor monk will set off in a few days and continue to travel around. The matter of the law will be set for tomorrow, sooner rather than later. What does the county magistrate think?"

"It's convenient for the master, so I naturally fully support it."

Following the words of the county magistrate, a legal ceremony against the county magistrate and the county magistrate's son also began.

It was night, and everything was silent, but there was a knock on the door of General Zhang's room in Qinghe County.

Not long after, someone from the house came out and opened the door.

She is Zhang Shoujiang's wife. Ever since her daughter was chosen to marry, she has been getting more and more haggard day by day, and her body has lost a lot of weight. She often cannot sleep all night.

She also couldn't sleep tonight, so she came to open the door so soon when she heard the knock on the door.

It's just that the madam's door was only half opened, and she was startled in the middle of the night.

I saw a woman with strange eyebrows and eyes standing in front of the door, wearing a gorgeous red dress, like the legendary ghost.

The madam's hands couldn't stop trembling, and when she was about to cover the door and escape in a panic, the door was held up by her boudoir, and it was completely pushed open.

It wasn't until this moment that Madam realized that there was not only one person standing outside the door, but there was also a frail woman leaning on her side.

The frail woman kept her head down, her messy long hair fell down so that people could not see her face clearly. The dress on her body was so torn that she couldn't cover her body, and she just put on a coat hastily.

Madam looked closely, and vaguely felt that the woman's figure was somewhat familiar.

After a while, she seemed to be poured down on her head with a basin of ice water, and suddenly rushed towards the weak woman in front of the door in a hurry and panic.The madam hugged the woman tightly, sobbing so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

After a while, the woman who was being hugged shouted hoarsely: "Mother."

"Alas." Madam replied, but her voice was mixed with joy and sorrow.

The joy is that the daughter who was sent to marry into the moat has finally returned, but the worry is that the daughter is in tatters and looks like she has been bullied.

Great grief and great joy, the mother and daughter's tears had already filled their cheeks, and they hugged each other quietly for a long time.

Guiyuan also stood silently by the side, and didn't step forward to disturb her. Seeing this rare warm scene in the world, her cynical temper subconsciously softened.

After the mother and daughter both calmed down a little, Guiyuan finally stepped forward to talk to Madam about the marriage: "Madam, there are other secrets about the marriage, I hope you can lead me to see General Zhang, Discuss this in detail."

"Hidden feelings?" Boudoir resentment's words made the madam even more anxious. She looked at the ragged daughter with questioning eyes, but the daughter nodded her head lightly.

Seeing this, the eyes of the lady who had just stopped crying were red again, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and complained to her boudoir, "Come with me, girl."

···
The next day, the city gate.

I heard that the eminent monk was going to perform a ceremony for the common people in Qinghe County today, and almost all the people of Qinghe County gathered under the city gate.

Everyone raised their heads under the city gate, looking at the aloof monk in plain white cassock, they couldn't help but praise him,
"The eminent monk is merciful, and the people of Qinghe County are blessed."

"That's right. I didn't believe it when you taught the demon monk. Now that I see it, he is indeed a highly respected monk."

"Hey, it's not that our knowledge is rough and our eyes are clumsy."

Everyone's gossip was heard by the monk, but at this moment the monk's heart was calm.

When the time came, the monk stood on the high platform built on the city gate and began to chant sutras.

In the solemn chanting, the whole audience was solemn.Everyone present at this time really seemed to be devout believers.

However, only the monk is clear about how pious he is.

When the scriptures came to an end, the boudoir in the moat was jumping out of the river with a group of beautiful women, and they were the ten women who were given away for marriage.

When the monk just finished chanting, Guiyuan also appeared on the city wall with the ten girls.

Someone first recognized these women, pointed at the city wall with trembling fingers, and shouted loudly: "Look, isn't that the girl we sent to marry in Qinghe County?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, shocked, and then happy after the shock.

"It's really an eminent monk, these girls who are sending off for marriage can be regarded as coming back."

Everyone attributed the return of these girls to the result of the monk's practice of chanting sutras, so they knelt down one after another in the direction where the monk was standing.

"Thank you holy monk!"

The voice of thanks from the bottom of my heart resounded through the sky.

However, when two people saw these returning women, they had different reactions from the others.

When the county magistrate and the magistrate saw the ten girls, they were shocked. They didn't expect that the monk in front of him was no less capable than that wandering Taoist priest.

Out of a guilty conscience, they began to panic again, fearing that if the monks noticed something, they would not be able to hide what they tried so hard to hide.

But the monk didn't give them a chance to stop them. Just when the county magistrate was about to pretend to thank him, the monk cast a spell and raised his voice and said to the common people: "The poor monk just recited the scriptures, not to let these married women return."

When the monk said this, everyone was in an uproar, and they couldn't figure it out. It wasn't for the return of these women, so what was it for?

The monk quickly continued what he had just said: "The poor monk is chanting scriptures to save a group of tortured women."

"Excessive?"

"A tortured woman?"

The monk's words made everyone even more puzzled.

Unlike the bewildered faces of the common people below, the county magistrate turned pale with astonishment when he heard what the monk said.

He waved his hand in a panic and asked several guards to come forward to stop the monk, but he didn't expect that before he noticed, the guarding soldiers who had been keeping quiet had already turned against each other.
