While the villagers stared in disbelief, Jiang Feng stepped forward and looked around at them with a sympathetic expression.
"The King of Inspiration couldn't wait any longer and came to eat young boys and girls himself. He didn't expect to be killed by you. The good weather and abundant harvests of the following year are all gone. What do you think we should do about it?"
The crowd erupted in uproar. The village chief's face looked as if he had swallowed a fly; his wrinkled face was almost squished into a ball.
After a moment, he shouted, silencing the noisy crowd, and then said in a cold voice, "There is no such thing as the Great King of Inspiration. He's clearly just a charlatan. Everyone, disperse!"
The villagers immediately dispersed in a commotion, some cursing as they left: "We thought he was a powerful deity, but he's so easily defeated. It seems deities aren't all that great after all."
"That's right, with such limited abilities, you dare to claim you'll bless us with good weather and abundant harvests? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue in the wind?"
The crowd abandoned their reverence for the gods and began to curse the Great King of Inspiration.
A few bolder villagers stayed behind, their eyes greedily fixed on the large carp on the ground, seemingly wanting to take it home and eat it.
Jiang Feng stood to the side and calmly said, "The fish is poisonous; one bite of fish can kill ten cows."
The group cursed their bad luck, refused to look at the carp on the ground again, and turned to leave Jiang Migao's house.
Once all the villagers had gone far away, Sha Wujing on the ground did a somersault and returned to his original form.
Feeling wronged after being beaten for no reason, Sha Wujing asked in confusion, "Master, why did you make me disguise myself as the Great King Linggan and let them kill me?"
Jiang Feng explained, "It's easy to defeat the bandits in the mountains, but difficult to defeat the bandits in one's heart."
If we directly kill the King of Inspiration, they will think we are more powerful than the King of Inspiration and will then become superstitious about us.
Once we leave, they will only worship us and ask us for blessings, and things will remain the same as before, without any change.
Only by making them personally kill the Inspiration King can their superstitious beliefs be dispelled.
Sha Wujing was still puzzled: "But if we are good deities, then their belief in us is true faith."
Jiang Feng said calmly, "There are no gods or immortals in this world. Gods and immortals are originally mortals, but I'm afraid that mortals' hearts are not steadfast."
Instead of making them believe in gods, it's better to make them believe in themselves.
If you can't understand this, the day you become a Buddha at Leiyin Temple will be the day Sha Wujing dies.
Sha Wujing was completely confused, while Bai Suzhen seemed to be deep in thought.
Meanwhile, the King of Inspiration waited for a long time in the Tongtian River, but the boy and girl never appeared.
Upon reaching the shore, one sees a group of villagers carrying hoes, working in the fields in large groups.
King Linggan was instantly enraged and blocked the villagers' path: "Where are the young boys and girls I ordered you to worship?"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then a young man in the front row grinned maliciously and swung his hoe at him: "Another 'King of Inspiration' has arrived! Folks, let's all attack and kill him!"
Countless hoes rained down on the King of Inspiration, and he was hit several times before he came to his senses. After hurriedly driving the group away, he dived into the water, looking puzzled.
What on earth is going on? Just a few days ago, these villagers treated him like a god and obeyed his every word.
Why are you suddenly so bold today, daring to hit him?
Back in his cave, he told the mandarin fish spirit who had come to him about the strange events of the day. The mandarin fish spirit pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, something must have gone wrong. I'm afraid Your Majesty should go to the village chief's house to inquire about it."
The King of Inspiration nodded, went ashore again, and arrived at the village chief's house.
Upon seeing the arrival of the Inspiration King, the village chief panicked at first, then immediately stood up and roared, "Another charlatan has arrived! Eldest brother, second brother, beat him up!"
With a wave of his right hand, the King of Inspiration conjured a fierce wind that swept through the room, causing everyone and everything inside to sway and fall.
Seeing the men pale with fright, writhing on the ground in agony, King Linggan asked fiercely, "Village Chief, I'm asking you, why didn't the virgin boys and girls I asked you to prepare arrive today? And those villagers even beat me whenever they saw me. What exactly happened?"
The village chief trembled and said, "Your Majesty, spare my life! Today, when I went to the Jiang family to demand a boy and a girl, a blue-faced monk appeared and stopped me."
We killed the blue-faced monk, and his corpse turned into a giant carp. Then a white-faced monk appeared, claiming that it was the Great King of Inspiration, and that we had been tricked!
The Inspiration King suddenly realized: "No wonder the villagers dared to attack me! So that's what happened! You wretched monk, I won't let you get away with this!"
Before he could finish speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed and hurtled towards his chest.
With a clang, a fish scale protecting the heart fell from the chest of the Great King of Inspiration, and the cold light bounced to the ground. It turned out to be Sha Wujing's Solo Staff!
Sha Wujing burst into the room, picked up the magic staff from the ground, and roared, "Demon, prepare to die!"
Having said that, he stepped forward and fought a fierce battle with the King of Inspiration. In the blink of an eye, the village chief's house was razed to the ground.
Just as the village chief was on the verge of tears, Sha Wujing and Bai Suzhen fought from the ground to the sky. Bai Suzhen stepped forward to help and used a freezing spell to strike Linggan Dawang!
Seeing that things were going badly, the Great King Linggan peeled off a fish scale to block Bai Suzhen's magic, and after taking a blow from Sha Wujing's staff, he fled in panic.
Sha Wujing chased the monster to the Tongtian River, but saw it disappear into the water. Not knowing the situation in the water, he dared not pursue it rashly and returned to the village chief's house with Bai Suzhen.
At this moment, all of the village chief's dozen or so large brick houses had collapsed, and the courtyard was a mess. The village chief was holding Jiang Feng tightly with both hands, refusing to let him leave.
"You've destroyed my house! All the wealth my family has built up over three generations has been ruined by you! If you don't compensate me, I'll kill myself right here in front of you today!"
Jiang Feng said innocently, "I didn't stop you. Go ahead and crash and die. I'm just not one to meddle in other people's business."
The village chief was furious, jumping up and down: "Are you even a monk? Monks are supposed to be compassionate! How can you bear to see my whole family starving and freezing in the dead of winter!"
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes: "Didn't you also try to drive Jiang Migo's family away, leaving them to starve and freeze? How dare you say that about me?"
The village chief was momentarily speechless, stammering, "I—I—I'm not a monk! Anyway, you have to compensate me for my family's property, or you're not leaving today!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "This is a bit hard to explain. How about we each compromise?"
Seeing that his attitude had softened, the village chief loosened his sleeve and asked, "How can we compromise? Tell me."
Jiang Feng said sincerely, "How about this? After you die, I'll take pity on you and perform a free ritual to send your soul to the underworld. I won't charge you anything. What do you think?"
village head:"----"
I don't think it's any good. I stepped back, and somehow I ended up in the underworld!
