The Principle of Dispelling Evil

hought of the images of black and white impermanence carved inside the coffin lid, and hurriedly asked, "Where are your Seven Lords and Eight Lords!""Seven and Eight Grandpa are so busy, we don't know...The old, frail woman sat on the doorstep, breathing in the fresh morning air and preparing to soak up some sun. Seeing Chong Mo roar at Yu Gui inside the house, she stood up, clutching her walking stick, and like a whack-a-mole, slammed the top of the stick onto Chong Mo's head.

Shun Mo didn't know what he was doing, as soon as he appeared, his eyes were fixed on Yu Gui, he didn't notice this inconspicuous old man and got hit hard.

I immediately ran out from behind the counter, holding Yu and Younan close in my arms, retreating to Jiang Qiyun's side.

Jiang Qiyun sat inside the compartment with carved wooden railings, squinting slightly, and coldly looking at Chong Mo.

"Oh my, you old hag! You're trying to kill me! How dare you hit me!" Chong Mo dodged the Old Woman's flying staff and ran into the house.

The little boy smoothed his gourd, leaned against the bookcase, and said with a smile: “It was this lord who swallowed the two little goblins beside the young lady”

Your Majesty

I'm completely lost.

"You... what kind of celestial being's servant are you" he glared at the child, his brow furrowed.

"Pfft! You're the one who's a little slave!" The child retorted. "All of you monarchs might be kings in your own city or pond, but you still obediently obey your esteemed gods, hmph!"

Is Chongmo the king of a city and a pool

As for "His Majesty" that Zhou Lao Yao and other people refer to, it's him.

The eighteen bronze talismans should each correspond to one of the eighteen lords. These lords, due to their immense magical power, are unable to emerge through the passage's gaps and can only manifest through believers in the mortal realm or by appearing as marks on living beings.

Among these eighteen lords, there is also a figure called "the Venerable One."

This system sounds quite extensive.

I don't know why Chongmo suddenly appeared at my doorstep.

Chong Mo seemed not to have expected Jiang Qiyun's rare absence from the position of divine protector today, and for a moment, he dared not make any rash moves.

As for Old Lady Wu, her quick reaction and agility were impressive. If not for Old Man Chen fearing she'd fall and stopping her, she probably would have chased after Mo knocking on the door!

"That damned little bastard! With his long arms and legs, he's grown so tall, yet he bullies a three-year-old child! What kind of person are you! Did my child offend you!" The old woman scolded angrily.

Chongmo was a little stunned to be scolded and beaten by such an elderly woman. The originally tense scene became somewhat awkward.

At this moment, Yu Gui was frightened and hid her face in Jiang Qiyun’s lap, crying.

From the moment she was born, she never cried loudly. She only whimpered with a downturned mouth and tears welling up, as if she was trying her hardest to hold back her sobs. It was especially heartbreaking.

Jiang Qiyun reached out and touched Yu Gui's head, my ordinary sofa was sat on by him like the throne of the Underworld Emperor.

"...What are you doing here" Jiang Qiyun asked coldly.

Chong Mo dodged the old woman's cane and said, "This world isn't your territory. I can go wherever I want, what do you care"

"Within the confines of this house, I hold dominion." Jiang Qiyun's tone was indifferent towards him.

"You guys... don't start fighting here..." I trembled with fear.

In broad daylight, if they were to attack, my humble house wouldn't stand a chance. And what's more, everything inside is fragile.

Da Bao's car drove to the roadside and shouted from afar across the pedestrian walkway, "Lao Chen, bring Little Master up here!"

How could I possibly send something like this

"I don't want to come either. This body is useful, but missing an arm puts me at a disadvantage in a fight." Chong Mo let out a cold snort and stared at me. "I've found out that you have a small Buddha statue in your possession! Is this true or not!"

That little Buddha would attract him again! Luckily, I didn't take it home.

"We saw the little Buddha, but it wasn't in our hands. I just touched it, and someone took it away." I said truthfully.

"Who took it!" he asked, his voice tight with anger.

"I don't know him. That old man with the small Buddha statue was targeted before us, and we almost got tricked... You've got the wrong place!" I wanted to chase him away.

He glared at me furiously: “Wrong place! Our master's artifact is being used as a ball! Return it at once!”

"What kind of artifact are you talking about Are you trying to scam us What do you mean, 'a king of a city and a pool'" I said speechless.

Chongmo's face flushed red. Indeed, a figure revered as "Lord" by his followers, actually came to snatch a child's toy—what a disgrace!

"Didn't you guys take this little girl's pendant" Chong Mo gritted his teeth and glared at Yu Gui.

Yu Gui looked at Jiang Qiyun with tear-filled eyes, seeming a little wronged.

Jiang Qiyun's undisguised protectiveness was evident in his nonchalant tone: "Just a child playing with toys, a mere bead pendant... how could it matter"

"This is just an ordinary bead! Quickly return it to me!" Chong Mo exclaimed urgently.

"Oh, so you want to forcibly grab it" Jiang Qiyun sneered, raising his hand and drawing a silver talisman in the air. The talisman landed on top of the pearl that Yu Guixiao was holding in her hand.

Chong Mo was very eager, but in his current state, he couldn't use his true form and was no match for Jiang Qiyun at all.

With tears streaming down her face, she thought she was about to lose this little pearl.

She hugged Jiang Qiyun's leg and looked up at him, pleading: "Father...this fell out of Uncle's pocket. I really like it, it glows in the evening~~~ Can I play with it~~"

"Yes." Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes, answering without hesitation.

He narrowed his eyes and glared at Chong Mo, warning, “If you dare to forcefully seize it, this pearl will be incinerated instantly. The power of the Red Lotus Inferno, you should all be familiar with.”

Chongmo was about to be driven mad. He couldn't bear to destroy this body, and even if he did, facing Jiang Qiyun, he didn't feel confident enough to win. There was no need to risk a confrontation.

As school time came around, she looked at me with teary eyes and asked, "Mother, can I bring it..."

Well, I wouldn't dare say anything about that. What to do with the toy your father just took from you is up to him.

"Father..." Yu Gui pouted and acted cutely.

Jiang Qiyun readily agreed, nodding. "Agreed."

Wow, so straightforward.

A little boy brushed up against me and whispered, “The pendant has a talisman from the Emperor. It protects these two little fairy princes and princesses…”

Ah, I see.

I quickly packed up my small schoolbag, putting the jade pendant—perfectly sized to fit in the palm of one’s hand—into a little pouch and placing it inside Yu Gui's bag. I hurried the two children out the door.

Chong Mo chased after them, watching Da Bao’s car drive away. He whispered to me, "Mu Xia Qiao, how about we make a deal"

"What kind of deal Are you still trying to steal children's toys..."

"Hmph!" he glared. "If the jade pendant is gone, so be it! I can afford to lose that. But that bronze Buddha statue that was taken, tell me where it went!"

"Don't... tell you what I have to offer"

"You—"ht now. Probably because I spent all Jun Shidi's money. She's not happy about it, but she doesn't want to say anything directly to me.So as people grow up, interpersonal relationships become more comp...
