Chapter 19
Lu Ren moved the body of the rat demon Zishou and found two pages of dark yellow paper underneath.
"Are these the two pages of the sutra?"
The text on it is complex and profound, and it doesn't look like the text of this dynasty.
It must have been found accidentally in the ruins of the previous dynasty.
Rats are best at digging holes everywhere, so it's not surprising to find anything.
After just a few glances, Lu Ren felt dizzy.
"No wonder this damned rat agreed to give the sutra to Wu Xin. It turned out that he knew that he couldn't understand the contents.
Just when Lu Ren was still in a dilemma, the panel suddenly appeared.
【Xuanling Baolu (First Level)]
Hmm?
Lu Ren was extremely surprised. The panel actually had this function?
It didn't matter if he didn't understand it. As long as he read the contents of the scripture once, the panel would automatically organize it for him.
"It's really a first-level technique. It looks like there's hope for a breakthrough."
Before anyone came, Lu Ren started to act.
"Infuse forty years of demon life into the Xuanling Treasure Record.
The numbers on the panel began to change, and the deduction results were listed in front of Lu Ren.
【In the first year, you first came into contact with the first-level exercises. You were very excited, but the content was too profound and your progress was very slow.】
【In the fifth year, you finally sensed the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and entered the realm of Xuanling Baolu!】
【In the eleventh year, you have become familiar with the exercises and, through unremitting efforts, have successfully absorbed a ray of spiritual energy into your body, and have mastered the Xuanling Baolu!】
【In the twenty-third year, through repeated attempts, you have used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish your body, and the impurities that have been deposited in your body for many years have begun to be discharged, and you have achieved a small success in the Xuanling Treasure Record!】
【
In the fortieth year, your body has become more and more perfect under the baptism of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and you have become more adept at using the spiritual energy, and you have mastered the Mysterious Spiritual Record!......Finished?
Lu Ren curled his lips, feeling like he was halfway through a pile of piles and suddenly his little brother became depressed.
This is really unpleasant!
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that this thing called Kung Fu tests a person's talent even more."
After forty years of life, he has only barely mastered it.
Fortunately, Big Black Rat has a long life, so he doesn't feel bad about using it.
"continue!"
【In the sixty-fifth year, spiritual energy is like a darling on your fingertips, it goes away when you wave it and comes back when you collect it. The Xuanling Treasure Record is completed!】
【In the ninety-second year, you plucked a leaf and drank the dew on it. The sweet taste spread across your tongue, and a wisp of spiritual energy permeated from your belly to every part of your body.】
【You understand this is a gift from heaven and earth】
【After the great enlightenment, your perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has risen to a new level. Every inch of your skin and every pore can become a channel for the spiritual energy to enter your body.】
【The spirit is like the sea, the body is like a swimming fish, everything is natural】
【Xuanling Baolu, complete!】
【End of deduction】
【Name: Lu Ren】
【Current life span: 20/147】
【Monster lifespan: 40 years】
【Current Martial Arts:】
【Xuanling Baolu (First Level Perfection)】
【Mountain Shock Fist (First Level)】
【Ba Wu Sword (Perfect)】
【Archery (beginner's guide)
Lu Ren looked at the words in front of him, exhaled a breath, and his eyes became clear and bright.
"I didn't expect that practicing the Xuanling Baolu to perfection could increase my lifespan so much. It is worthy of being a first-level technique."
I still remember that a few days ago, he was still a short-lived ghost who was extremely anxious because he had less than a year left to live.
Now, he has an extra hundred years of lifespan, which can be said to be quite long-lived for mortals.
But since he has tasted the sweetness, how could Lu Ren give up easily?
First-level technique, a hundred years of lifespan, these are just his starting point.
This world is big, there are many monsters, he wants to kill them all!
If for nothing else, just want to see where the end of the road of practice leads to, and whether the legend of immortality really exists.
""Lu Ren!"
Yang Bin finally found this place.
Looking at the shocking bloodstains along the way and the corpses of field mice all over the ground, Yang Bin couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
So many monsters, were all killed by Lu Ren alone?
Although Lu Ren was also cruel in the past, his cruelty was only directed at the weak and those pitiful people.
This was the first time that Lu Ren swung his butcher knife at these monsters and demons that harmed the world.
Yang Bin slowly walked through the pool of blood and came to Lu Ren.
"How are you? Are you hurt?"
Lu Ren stood up and smiled:"Do you think I look injured?"
Yang Bin looked up, and the surprise in his eyes deepened a little.
Lu Ren's clothes were stained with blood, but his face was ruddy, his blood was vigorous, and his skin became unusually white. If he covered his face, he would be mistaken for the eldest daughter of a noble family.
Huh?
Lu Ren felt that the way Yang Bin looked at him seemed not right.
Inexplicably, he thought of a sentence from his previous life,"Brother, you smell so good!"
Thinking of this, Lu Ren suddenly got goose bumps all over his body, and deliberately said in a rough voice:
"What are you still standing there for? Go back and ask someone to deal with the bodies of these field mouse spirits. You can burn them or bury them. If the villagers don't mind, they can roast and eat them. It's up to them to do with it."
Yang Bin was in a trance for a while, and shook his head:"Okay, I'll go now."
"By the way, is Wu Xin still alive?"
"Last night, the commotion was so loud that the whole village was alarmed. After I explained the situation to everyone, they were all very excited.
They punched, kicked, and threw stones at me. I did not stop them as you asked, and let them vent their anger.
When everyone's anger had almost subsided, when I went to check, Wu Xin had already turned into a puddle of mud, and his body was cold."
"Um."Lu Ren nodded, without any emotional fluctuation.
Such an end was caused by Wu Xin's greed.
If he knew in his grave that he couldn't understand the two pages of scriptures promised to him by Zishou, would he regret killing him?
Lu Ren sneered and shrugged.
Even if Wu Xin didn't kill him, he would still die under the angry siege of Heitu Village.
Objectively speaking, Wu Xin was born in a small place like Yangliu Town, but he was ambitious and tried to rewrite his fate through some shortcuts.
This in itself is not wrong.
As for trading with demons, there is nothing to blame.
After all, didn't I, or more precisely my predecessor, maintain a flesh-and-blood transaction with demons for a long time?
It's all for survival, for living better, and for living out my own world. However, everyone has their own destiny, and some things cannot be forced.
If you fail, you have to face it calmly.
Wu Xin is a complete loser.
He abandoned everything, including the bottom line of being a human being, but in the end he still got nothing.
This is fate, you have to admit it!
