Hearing this, Old Gouzi and I couldn't fucking hold it in any longer. We shot to our feet with a "whoosh," not giving a damn about anything else.

We rushed Wu Sheng and gave him a savage beating! Old Gouzi cared even less whether Wu Sheng lived or died—he just wanted to stuff all the dog shit he had left into Wu Sheng's mouth!

Just then,

"Fuck! You two brothers, don't get so damn worked up! I—I haven't gotten out yet! I'm Great Immortal Golden Toad!"

"Phew~!"

Fuck, good thing Golden Toad shouted in time. We'd come this close—just this close—to losing our minds and killing Wu Sheng along with Golden Toad.

It took us quite a while to calm down.

Only then did I realize I'd bullied the wrong ghost. According to Golden Toad, Xue Pan had been the one to discover this whole matter.

Everyone knew Xue Pan was a lecherous ghost, the kind who couldn't move his legs when he saw a female ghost. When he happened to see Li Meng, wicked thoughts immediately rose in his heart.

But after learning what Li Meng had gone through, that lecherous ghost instead developed a sense of justice. He acknowledged Li Meng as his younger sister and promised to help her get revenge.

No wonder. No wonder he wouldn't say who had sent him, no matter how hard we beat him last night. Sigh, I'd have to find a chance to properly apologize to Xue Pan.

At that moment, I realized that not all ghosts were bad. Sometimes, people were fucking worse than ghosts.

How did that song go again? I feared ghosts, yet ghosts had never harmed me in the slightest. I didn't fear people, but people had left me battered and bruised.

Fuck! Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng! I'd make sure he died ten times over with no chance of survival!

"Brother Golden! My brother and I..."

After realizing just how horribly wrong I'd been, I'd intended to sincerely apologize to Golden Toad.

Golden Toad waved his hand indifferently.

"Sigh, ignorance is no crime. Since you're not the sort who aids a tyrant in his evil, let what happened before be water under the bridge, brother."

I greatly admired Golden Toad's broad-mindedness. Without realizing it, I clasped my hands toward him and said, "Brother Golden, you are truly righteous. As they say, no friendship without a fight. If you ever need anything from your brother, just say the word. I'll definitely give you my full support."

Seeing this, Old Gouzi scratched his head and copied me, saying to Golden Toad, "Me too!"

After that, I never interfered in the matter again.

Half a month passed.

During that time, the village chief came to my door countless times, hoping I would remove the evil thing from Wu Sheng's body, but I sent him away every single time.

"Sir, hasn't he stopped violating the sows? Then what's there to treat? It can't be cured!"

Golden Toad and Xue Pan were decent fellows. Ever since we'd fought, they no longer controlled Wu Sheng into violating the village's sows. Instead, they found Dung Beetle Great Immortal to help, having Dung Beetle Great Immortal possess Wu Sheng and make him eat shit every day.

The village chief continued,

"Yes, he's stopped violating the sows, but now he's eating human shit all over the damn village! He's practically turning into a shit-eater! He stinks wherever he goes—when flies see him, they don't even bother looking for anyone else! Chanxin, hurry up and take a look!"

"Why should I go look at him, sir? How disgusting. It's perfectly normal. It'd be wrong if he didn't eat human shit. I divined it for him—don't let his human appearance fool you. The soul inside him is a dog. After I drove the evil out of him, his innate talent awakened. Naturally, he deserves to eat shit."

Hearing my nonsense, the village chief knew I was brushing him off.

He thought to himself, How had a perfectly healthy living man turned into a dog that ate shit?

But there was nothing he could do to me. Helpless, he could only shake his head and leave.

The reason I was still here instead of leaving was that I was waiting. I had divined that Brother Golden and Xue Pan would face a calamity. If I stayed, I could lend them a hand.

Of course, during those half months, I not only taught Old Gouzi how to make dog-shit evil-repelling charms, but also passed the Eight Divisions Vajra Skill on to him.

Gouzi practiced the Eight Divisions Vajra Skill every morning, then went out to collect dog shit in the afternoon. As for me, I meditated constantly, using the time to strengthen my soul power.

Another week passed. That day, a group of people came to the village, claiming they had come from abroad to spread the gospel.

Somehow, they heard that someone in the village was possessed, so they came under the banner of righteousness to exorcise the evil.

I hadn't thought much of it at first, but that afternoon, Xue Pan came rushing to Gouzi's house in a frantic panic, begging me for help.

"Big Brother! Big Brother Chanxin! Save us!"

I was meditating inside when I heard Xue Pan shouting from far away.

Before long, Xue Pan floated into the house, with Old Gouzi following behind him.

Naturally, Gouzi's parents could neither see Xue Pan nor hear him shouting. Old Gouzi could see and hear him only because I had opened his Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear.

"B-Big Brother Chanxin, B-Brother Golden was captured by those people."

"What? Fuck!"

"Old Ghost!"

The instant I heard Golden Toad had been captured, I flew into a rage. Old Gouzi was the same.

Back when we two brothers hadn't even investigated what had happened, we'd beaten Xue Pan and Golden Toad for no reason at all. Those two brothers were righteous men and hadn't held it against us. We'd been waiting for a chance to repay that debt, yet Golden Toad had fucking been captured.

"Let's go! Xue Pan, lead the way!"

Without another word, Old Gouzi and I grabbed our ritual tools and followed Xue Pan to save him.

The two of us and one ghost ran all the way out of the village. That group was loading sacks into a vehicle, and faint croaking sounds could be heard coming from inside the sacks.

No fucking need to think about it—the sack had to contain Golden Toad.

From quite a distance away, I started cursing, "Fuck your mothers! Put him down!"

Hearing me curse, the group all turned around and gathered together.

After running up to them, I panted heavily for a few breaths.

A white-haired old lamp in a black robe stepped out from the front. Wearing an auntie-like smile, he slowly said, "Young man, may the holiness and love of Lord Jesus forever surround you, filling your life with happiness and peace. Amen."

Fuck, the moment I heard that, I guessed these charlatans belonged to Brother Jesus's faction. I just didn't know which branch, because as far as I knew, Brother Jesus had many branches under him. The most famous were Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism.

There were also some cults that operated under Brother Jesus's name.

Judging from their clothing, I really couldn't tell which one they were.

I frowned and said flatly, "Which organization are you from?"

The white-haired old lamp said,

"We are God's messengers, members of the Disciples Society from the Heavenly Father. Amen."

The Disciples Society? Fuck? I'd really never heard of that one. Ignoring their stares, I immediately pulled out my phone and searched for information on the spot.

"Hey, Xiaodu, Xiaodu."

"Yes, Master."

"Search the fucking Disciples Society for me. What kind of church is it?"

"Hello, Master. I have found information regarding the Disciples Society. Please listen carefully;

Third Redemption Christianity, also known as the Disciples Society, the 'Third Redemption Religion,' the 'Narrow Gate in the Wilderness,' and so on, was founded by Ji Sanbao in 1989. The primary differences between the Disciples Society and Christianity lie in doctrine, objects of faith, methods of activity, social harm, management methods, and gathering content.

This cult organization spreads under the name of Christianity. Its doctrines, beliefs, and practices are far removed from orthodox Christianity, often containing extremist ideas and behaviors that harm society and individuals. Therefore, understanding and identifying cult organizations is crucial to protecting personal and public safety."

After hearing that, my whole face went dark. Fuck! This was a cult that had developed under Big Brother Jesus's name!
