Chapter 1464 - 208: The Secret of the White Lotus
"..." The man opened his mouth, looked around blankly, and at that moment didn’t know whether to stand up or not.
In the end, he followed the guidance from deep within his heart and chose to kneel down, keeping his body prostrated on the ground.
Leaving the woman and two children looking at him puzzled, "Dad?"
"Shh! Don’t speak! Kneel down together, beg for the great deity’s forgiveness!"
The man pulled his whole family to bow along, feeling much relieved inside.
While the tofu shop’s family was still speculating whether Xu Shu was petty and vengeful, and made corresponding statements for it.
Xu Shu had already moved swiftly like the wind and lightning, and together with Xiao Ya, reached the highest point of the village, arriving at Widow Yang Su’s doorstep.
"Looks like they haven’t left." Xiao Ya nodded, looking somewhat puzzled at the "large bundle" of corpses Xu Shu was holding, "What are those?"
Xu Shu spread his hands: "You know, as a newbie Living Cultivator in the industry, I have always adhered to the basic ethical principles of this profession."
Xiao Ya opened her mouth wide: "Huh?"
"Good people shouldn’t be harmed, and bad people shouldn’t be wasted."
Saying this, Xu Shu swiftly ran to the dark corner where the small jade Buddha was previously placed, snapping his fingers.
"Pop!"
Noticing his approach, the small jade Buddha responded with a sound made using someone’s mouth.
Then, a soft and timid voice echoed from the void: "Master, Bodhisattva said no one has exited yet~"
The speaker was Little Ji Yu (imagine as purification).
Don’t be fooled by her lacking ability in the orchestra; it’s due to the fact that those who can do more often need to help Xu Shu with cleaning. Therefore, within the Jade Buddha Space, if there is someone whose status is the most stable and highest, it’s none other than her.
"Narrow Sleeve Guanyin" also seemed to take special care of her for this reason, every time conveying messages, having Ji Yu appear alone.
This made other orchestra members naturally both envious and reticent to say much.
Seeing this, Xu Shu praised: "Well done, here’s a reward."
He threw the corpses of the White Lotus Sect members onto the ground.
These bodies had only recently died, their spirituality had not completely faded, making them excellent supplements for "Evil Spirits".
"Sssss~"
The small jade Buddha immediately understood and opened an illusory giant mouth in the air as a channel connecting inside and outside.
"Wow! Thanks to my husband for sending us eight supplements!"
"Don’t hurry, first thank the gentleman, the gentleman is the best! Alright, ladies, let’s dig in!"
"Yippee!"
"Blessed, blessed! I am a monk, cannot break my vows, I, I... Alas, all beings suffer, let me help transcend these lingering souls!" Wu Jie leaned to the side, solemnly reciting scriptures with a compassionate appearance, seeming as if he’s liberating the deceased.
Beside him, Xiumu Baiji scolded: "Dead monk, why pretend? A Yin soul, can you eat meat? Are you not there absorbing remnant spirits?"
"How can you meddle in a monk’s matters?"
Seeing as the eight high-quality ingredients, all with second-tier strengths, the Evil Spirits collectively rejoiced like it was a festival.
Yin God Soul Devouring, Yang God Eating Soul, they divided the labor clearly, some bickering, some snatching, some savoring slowly, while two dogs devoured mouthfully.
All enjoyed the rare feast orderly, the air bustling unusually with a dying aura.
Xiao Ya leaned in from behind, squinting, "Your Deceitful Servant is quite peculiar, what’s its origin? It gives me a complex feeling... can’t understand, really curious."
Xu Shu glanced at her, thinking that after the small jade Buddha’s power improved, it could completely outwit Zhong Xiaoya, a third-tier peak expert, letting her be unable to see clearly what was happening, really doing well.
Thinking thus, Xu Shu changed the topic and said: "Little Ya, there’s something I find strange, can you use your smart brain to help me solve it?"
"What’s the matter? Go ahead." Having been complimented quietly, Xiao Ya subconsciously stood a bit more upright.
Xu Shu pointed at the White Lotus Sect’s Guiding Envoys, whose numbers were rapidly decreasing:
"As far as I know, the local residents in the ruins, either normal ’non-humans’ without Extraordinary powers, they are in a state between normal beings and monsters, ghost but not ghost, human but not human, but as long as maintaining intellect, overall can still be regarded as semi-alive individuals, so upon death, they do not undergo too much change like normal humans.
"But once an individual possesses Extraordinary power, then it’s not human but transforms into a monster, right?" Xu Shu said.
Xiao Ya nodded: "That’s the case."
This is the common knowledge of the Extraordinary World.
Xu Shu immediately said: "Then it’s strange, since they are monsters, why didn’t these White Lotus Sect members’ bodies crystallize upon death?"
"Emmm..."
Xiao Ya frowned, touching her chin, and after pondering briefly, murmured, "According to the usual theory formed around the ruins, indeed as you said, Extraordinary Beings within should have erosion crystals present internally, unless they are dark beings. But upon death, these White Lotus Sect individuals did not disintegrate, obviously not dark beings."
"Yeah, so what’s the reason?" Xu Shu spread his hands, like a curious child.
Xiao Ya said: "Maybe it’s the special nature of ancient practices. Have you heard of ancient practices? Before the Great Catastrophe, before the Sealing Technique emerged, the extraordinary methods of the human world."
"Heard a little." Xu Shu nodded, "You mean these Ancient Practitioners in the ruins won’t turn into monsters?"
Xiao Ya shook her head: "No, they’re still monsters, just without crystals."
