Chapter 17 A cursory glance, the Wusheng Sect
Chapter 17 A cursory glance, the Wusheng Sect
"In the huge mass grave, dig and dig and dig..."
"What kind of corpse should be buried, what kind of flower should bloom..."
Li Qingchen hummed a cheerful tune as he dug a hole to bury someone.
Before long, another grave was added to the mass grave.
[Hint: Your "digging and burying shovel" has been sharpened and hardened!]
The purpose was not to bury people.
Becoming stronger is the right path.
If used properly, dig more pits and bury more people, and little by little, you can accumulate a lot.
Sooner or later, we will be able to transform the "burying shovel" into a powerful weapon.
"Next, which grave should we dig?"
Li Qingchen looked at the options presented on the panel and fell into thought.
It's worth noting that even experienced tomb raiders have met their end here due to bad luck.
There is a risk in opening the box.
The only thing we can rely on now is the protagonist's light... and the talent 'strong luck'.
However, no matter which way Li Qingchen went in the mass grave this time, he was unable to trigger his talent, nor did he find the blessed land he had encountered before.
"That's strange, does that mean I've already passed the beginner phase?"
Li Qingchen looked puzzled.
"Never mind, this fox pelt won't last much longer. Let's just find a grave and dig it up first."
There were already quite a few undead people wandering around, so Li Qingchen didn't hesitate any longer and chose to start digging from the nearest grave.
You decide to take a gamble, you pick up a shovel, and begin digging the grave.
Unfortunately, the first grave contained only a skeleton. Without pausing, you continued digging the second grave.
Unfortunately, the second tomb also contained only a skeleton. So you immediately set out to dig a third tomb.
Unfortunately, the third tomb also contained...
The fourth tomb...
It's a pity...
It's a pity...
It's a pity...
Li Qingchen was numb. He visited seven graves in a row, all filled with blank, withered bones.
Is this the true difficulty of the game?
—Does not having "strong luck" mean I'm a useless person?
Li Qingchen was unwilling to accept this!
Rolling up their sleeves, they dug three more graves in quick succession!
Still just blank slates and withered bones!
Li Qingchen was satisfied.
Just as they were feeling dejected and about to dig the eleventh grave—
[Hint: The "Strong Luck" talent has been triggered!]
Li Qingchen cried, "Daddy, this game can't function without you!"
You dig up the eleventh grave, and inside lies another pile of bones, yet the evil aura lingers, and the bones clutch a revolving lantern tightly in their arms. Will you brave the evil and pick up the lantern?
[You silently recited the sacred chants passed down to you by the disciples of the Flesh Buddha, and the evil aura emanating from the corpse instantly vanished, allowing you to safely retrieve the revolving lantern.]
[A fleeting glimpse: When a person dies, their eggs float to the sky; praise or blame is beyond my control. The rights and wrongs of my life are left for posterity to judge.]
Watching the revolving lantern display may bring you a chance to gain opportunity, or it may cause you to lose your mind and become possessed.
Do you want to watch this slideshow of bones?
[You've chosen to watch the slideshow; it's playing for you now...]
The deceased's life story was written in text on the panel.
As the sole audience member, Li Qingchen skimmed through his life story.
…………
This person's name is Wang Leping.
When he was thirteen, his village was ransacked by bandits, and only Wang Leping escaped by feigning death.
To survive, Wang Leping spent the next few years begging, collecting alms, working as a stable boy, and doing manual labor.
At the age of twenty-five, he finally accumulated some savings and got married.
However, not long after, the man cheated on his wife and secretly began an affair with a local wealthy businessman.
The adulterous couple were caught in the act by Wang Leping in broad daylight, yet they remained fearless.
Because of collusion between officials and businessmen, the cat and the mouse have long been in cahoots.
Wang Leping had no way to appeal and was instead retaliated against by her lover. Not only were both of her legs broken, but her family property was also looted by the adulterous woman.
When he was utterly despondent, the one who came to his rescue was not a chivalrous knight.
It is the teaching of non-birth.
The Eternal Mother loves to manipulate people's hearts. She believes that all living beings in the world suffer, and only through complete annihilation can one reach the "Land of Ultimate Bliss".
Wang Leping received the teachings of the Eternal Mother, which not only cured his legs but also gave him the skill to create animals.
This art of creating animals was originally created by the patriarch of the witchcraft sect. It can cover the animal's form with human skin and allow the animal's soul to enter the human body. It can turn people into donkeys, horses, sheep, and dogs for people to drive and sell.
Having acquired this skill, Wang Leping naturally sought revenge against the adulterous couple.
With the help of the Wusheng sect members, the adulterous couple were tied up and brought before Wang Leping.
Wang Leping used his magic to transform them into a monkey and a dog, and then dragged them to the streets to perform and earn money.
After being humiliated for a whole year, they lost interest and sold the couple to a butcher, who then died under the butcher's knife.
Of course, that corrupt official also met the same fate.
Wang Leping had avenged his great enemy, and the story should have ended there.
However, the Eternal Mother taught you real skills, not just to help you take revenge.
As a believer, you must accumulate "hidden virtues" for the Wusheng sect.
What is meant by accumulating unseen virtues?
Let people experience extreme suffering in their lives, so that they can reach the "Land of Bliss" after death.
This is a blessing.
Wang Leping had long been thoroughly brainwashed by the Eternal Mother, his mind clouded. As the leader of the cult, he soon set his sights on famine-stricken refugees.
He first transformed the abducted children into pigs, sheep, and cattle, and then disguised himself as a wealthy merchant providing relief, giving sliced pork, sheep, and beef to the refugees.
Only after the refugees put the meat into the pot did they realize with horror that the pig's head had turned into a human head, the mutton into human flesh, and the cow's leg into a human leg.
Wang Leping was not far away, watching everything unfold, while simultaneously suppressing his 'yin virtue' and plotting his next entertainment target.
Such inhuman and heinous evil arts quickly caused a huge uproar in the martial arts world.
The Taoist master Xuanjizi was furious upon hearing this. He drew his sword and descended the mountain, joining forces with chivalrous figures from all walks of life to severely damage the Wusheng Sect.
Wang Leping, whose crimes were heinous, died in this purge.
…………
Li Qingchen rubbed his temples; he didn't have much to say about it.
Being cuckolded and left penniless is something no one can bear.
He joined a cult, avenged his great grudge, and there's not much else to say.
However, it is a grave mistake to attack innocent people.
Of course, the person involved can appeal, saying that he joined a cult, which is a last resort.
Why didn't those chivalrous heroes and Taoist priests appear when he was suffering?
On the contrary, it was only after he joined the Wusheng Sect that he came out of seclusion under the banner of justice.
If it weren't for the bandits who massacred his village, if his own woman hadn't been so promiscuous, if it weren't for the collusion between officials and businessmen and the blindness of Heaven, how could he have joined the Wusheng Sect?
Wang Leping was filled with resentment and died unwillingly!
Even after being buried, the malevolent energy remains.
Li Qingchen didn't understand what cause and effect was involved.
He was a sword cultivator.
As everyone knows, a sword cultivator's brain circuits are comparable to a mature banana. So tell me, have you harmed or not innocent people?
Damaged?
Alright, then take this sword strike.
Wronged?
I don't care about this or that, go tell my sword, go tell those innocent people.
After the whirlwind performance ended, Li Qingchen gave his evaluation:
Damn.
At the same time, a series of opportunities also came into his possession...
