(A power fantasy. Don't think too hard while reading.)
"People come in good and bad, and corpses come in stiff and dried-up."
Lin Jiu spent his whole life explaining things in a world overrun by demons and monsters, only to discover that sometimes fists work better than reason.
After binding himself to the Merit System, Lin Jiu decides to live a different way.
Exorcising ghosts before: Set up an altar, draw talismans, perform ritual steps, and exhaust yourself while worrying that your disciples will cause trouble.
Exorcising ghosts now: Give them a glare, let golden merit energy protect you, and watch every ghost cower!
Qiusheng: "Master, that female ghost is fierce. I can't beat her!"
Lin Jiu: "Move aside. Don't get in the way of me farming merit."
Wencai: "Master, Old Master Ren has turned into a zombie and is charging this way!"
Lin Jiu: "What's there to panic about? I'll just give it a little 'physical salvation' buff."
When a foreign missionary raises a cross and mocks China for having no gods,
Lin Jiu strides on auspicious clouds, radiant with light, descending like a god among mortals. "A god? That's me!"
