Chapter 81

"Take Ye Erniang down and keep her under close guard; I will have great use for her later."

Zhang Jie ordered with deep, unfathomable eyes.

Ye Erniang was not born evil; there was a reason why she became like this:

She was originally just an ordinary, gentle, and dignified woman living at the foot of Western Shaolin Temple,

who fell in love with the current Abbot of Western Shaolin, Xuan Ci, and gave birth to Xuzhu.

Later, she suffered retaliation from the victim Xiao Yuanshan outside Yanmen Pass—her baby was snatched, her face was ruined, and she became mentally unstable from then on,

beginning to steal other people's babies to play with and then kill, thus becoming notorious.

There was a culprit behind this, and that was the Abbot of Western Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci!

A monk, if he didn't eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name properly, that would be one thing,

but he actually broke the vow of lust and gave birth to Xuzhu with Ye Erniang.

If he broke the vow of lust, he broke it; after all, food and sex are human nature,

and this was Western Shaolin Temple's own business; at worst, they could punish him or make him return to secular life.

But after Ye Erniang began stealing and killing infants, he actually ignored it; this was simply too much.

The number of infants stolen and killed by Ye Erniang over so many years reached into the thousands; her crimes were simply monstrous!

Zhang Jie even wanted to grab Xuan Ci by his cassock and ask him, what about the sutras he chanted, what about the Buddha he recited?

Had his compassion been eaten by dogs?

Moreover, Ye Erniang's martial arts were probably also taught by Xuan Ci,

after all, Ye Erniang came from a farming family and had no channel to learn martial arts at all.

In other words, Xuan Ci had taught and indulged a demon who specialized in plundering and killing infants!

'Damn it!'

The more Zhang Jie thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could directly crush Xuan Ci's dog head!

"Xuan Ci and Western Shaolin Temple must pay the price!"

Zhang Jie made a decision in his heart.

With an Abbot like Xuan Ci, Western Shaolin Temple was not a good place either.

"Understood."

Fan Bailing, who did not know that Zhang Jie was extremely angry in his heart, obeyed.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Jie was keeping Ye Erniang for,

he knew that Zhang Jie had always been extremely methodical in his actions and would not shoot without a target.

"Junior Brother, what about Yun Zhonghe?" Su Xinghe asked.

"Send him to my quiet room in a while."

Zhang Jie's thoughts turned, and he replied.

A lecher like Yun Zhonghe, who specialized in ruining people's purity, also deserved to die.

Since he didn't have the special circumstances that Duan Yanqing and Ye Erniang had,

then Zhang Jie would just go to the trouble of "taking" his internal energy.

"Good." Su Xinghe nodded.

Hearing Zhang Jie decide the fate of Ye Erniang and

Yun Zhonghe so casually, Yue Laosan couldn't help but tremble in his legs.

He didn't know what Ye Erniang's fate would be, but the warning of Yun Zhonghe's fate,

and Duan Yanqing's corpse were still in Feng Asan's hands!

"Senior, I wonder how you intend to deal with me?"

Yue Laosan asked, biting the bullet.

"You?"

Zhang Jie looked Yue Laosan up and down.

Yue Laosan hurriedly puffed out his chest, striving to show his best spirit to Zhang Jie, hoping Zhang Jie would spare him.

Even ants cling to life, let alone him?

At the same time, Yue Laosan's information also surfaced in Zhang Jie's mind.

Although Yue Laosan was listed as an evil person, his actual behavior was far milder than the other evil people,

known for being straightforward, keeping his word, and being trustworthy; he was especially loyal to Duan Yu,

and in the end, he was even killed by Duan Yanqing while trying to save Duan Yu.

In Wuliang Mountain, he saw that Duan Yu had a unique bone structure and forcibly wanted to take him as an apprentice, but was later tricked by Duan Yu into becoming Duan Yu's apprentice instead.

At the same time, he was extremely committed to his promises, willing to admit defeat in a bet; although he didn't submit to Duan Yu in words, he gradually acknowledged him in his heart.

At Mantuo Shanzhuang, when Duan Yanqing wanted to kill Duan Yu, Yue Laosan risked his life to save him,

insisting that Duan Yu was his master, and was eventually killed by Duan Yanqing, who pierced his chest with a steel staff.

Overall, although Yue Laosan was reckless, had a short temper, and his behavior often had comedic elements,

he was simple-minded, had a pure heart, and was somewhat innocent and cute.

Zhang Jie thought about it and discovered that Yue Laosan was exactly the talent he needed:

Although Fan Bailing and the others were very respectful to him and followed his every word,

they were ultimately Su Xinghe's disciples, and it was not easy for him to order them around at will.

And Yue Laosan could fill this vacancy very well.

Although Yue Laosan was very reckless and impulsive, he was more than enough as a thug.

'Besides, in Water Margin, he has Wu Song as a facade, so how can I fall behind?'

Zhang Jie decided in his heart to take Yue Laosan as a pawn:

"You will follow me from now on."

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for not killing me; thank you, Sect Leader, for not killing me!"

Yue Laosan, having saved his small life, was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to thank him.

"In the future, you must not do evil again, otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will find you to uphold the sect rules."

Zhang Jie warned sternly. Although he somewhat appreciated Yue Laosan,

if Yue Laosan still dared to act recklessly, then he would have no choice but to "weep as he executes Ma Su."

"This lowly one wouldn't dare; in the future, if you, Sect Leader, tell me to go east, I will never go west;

if you tell me to touch a dog, I will never catch a chicken!"

Yue Laosan hurriedly patted his chest to guarantee, looking as if he wished he could rip his heart out.

"Haha!"

Seeing this scene, which was like a bear roaring, Fan Bailing and the others all laughed kindly.

"That is excellent." Zhang Jie nodded.

Since Duan Yanqing could handle Yue Laosan,

he, whose martial arts far exceeded Duan Yanqing's, naturally could too.

"Junior Uncle, dinner is ready."

At this time, Shi Qinglu, one of the Eight Friends of Hangu who was preparing dinner, came to say.

"Hmm, everyone go eat first."

Zhang Jie waved his hand and led Su Xinghe and the others to the living room.

Not to mention that everyone, in a great mood, had a great appetite...

After dinner, Zhang Jie returned to the quiet room with ease.

"You, what exactly do you want to do?"

In the corner of the quiet room, Yun Zhonghe, who was tied up like a zongzi, looked at Zhang Jie in terror.

"What do I want to do? I want you to..."

Before Zhang Jie could finish his sentence, Yun Zhonghe, who judged others by his own standards, became even more terrified:

"Don't! I'm not that kind of person, I have hemorrhoids!

As long as you let me go, I can find any kind of man for you!"

"Damn! What the hell are you thinking about all day in that brain of yours?"

Zhang Jie, who was misunderstood as having a penchant for men, was furious and kicked Yun Zhonghe.

Who in the myriad realms didn't know that he, Zhang Jie, was male in gender and loved women!

"Then what do you want?" Yun Zhonghe was confused.

He, who only loved beauty, was truly empty-handed,

let alone gold and silver jewelry, he didn't even have savings of a hundred taels of silver.

As for martial arts manuals?

Who in the Jianghu didn't know that he, Yun Zhonghe, only knew one common "Grass-Flying" technique.

That he could have the light-body skills he had today was entirely due to his extraordinary talent.

"I want your internal energy!"

After Zhang Jie finished speaking, he didn't talk nonsense and directly grabbed Yun Zhonghe's head.

Yun Zhonghe neither had what he needed nor any obvious flaws, so he could only forcibly absorb it.

"Mmm~"

Yun Zhonghe suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from Zhang Jie's hand.

"De-, De-..."

Before Yun Zhonghe could say "Demonic Art," he had already been sucked by Zhang Jie until his eyes rolled back and his expression became chaotic.

"Trash!"

After dozens of breaths, Zhang Jie threw Yun Zhonghe, who had been drained by the North Dark Divine Art, onto the ground like trash.

The internal energy Yun Zhonghe provided him was only a few years,

completely unworthy of his title as one of the Four Great Evils of the world.

"Sizzle~"

Zhang Jie flicked his finger, and a burst of finger force instantly pierced Yun Zhonghe's heart.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Jin is really disgusted with his cousin."

Looking at Yun Zhonghe's ugly face, Zhang Jie stroked his chin and pondered.

Mr. Jin's cousin was actually quite handsome, dashing, and talented; it was just that his character wasn't very good.

And the name Yun Zhonghe was once the pen name of his cousin, Xu Zhimo.

Yes, Mr. Jin's cousin was that Xu Zhimo who wrote "Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again."

"However, Old Xu was indeed not a decent person."

Zhang Jie also shook his head when thinking of Xu Zhimo's behavior.

This guy first abandoned his pregnant wife, Zhang Youyi, and then went to pursue Lin Huiyin;

after failing to pursue Lin Huiyin, he got together with his good friend's wife, Lu Xiaoman.

At the same time, he also had an unclear relationship with his pen pal, Ling Shuhua.

It can be said that Old Xu was an out-and-out scumbag,

especially in that era that advocated for a new life.

Mr. Jin, who hated this scumbag, had allusions to him in various works:

The lecher Yun Zhonghe in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils,

Wei Bi of the Zhu Wu Lianhuan Shanzhuang who framed Zhang Wuji in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber,

and Wang Xiaofeng, the cousin who only knew how to doubt Shui Sheng in A Deadly Secret, etc.

And Old Xu's end was also very dramatic:

Like Boss Dai Li and Mamba, he died in a plane crash.

"From now on, there are no more Four Great Evils in the world!"

Finally, Zhang Jie, having finished off Duan Yanqing and Yun Zhonghe, imprisoned Ye Erniang,

and subdued Yue Laosan, sighed with a great sense of accomplishment.
