Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 7 Flat ribs and ribs
"A monk, you say?"

Uncle Jiu came back in the evening and looked at the empty ghost-sealing altar on the table. He looked at Qiu Sheng and Li Kunshan with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

Qiu Sheng nodded and could only speak with gritted teeth.

"During the day, a monk passed by and came in to borrow a bowl of water. After drinking it, he said that it could help the evil spirits to be liberated. I thought he was just bragging, so I let him try. Who knew he really had the ability? I don't know what sutra he chanted, but he helped all the evil spirits to be liberated."

"Could it be that you let the evil spirit escape and deliberately made up a monk to deceive the master?"

Wencai was standing by and said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"What a coincidence! A monk happened to pass by."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Uncle Jiu nodded and continued asking.

"Where did this monk come from, and what's his name?"

"This……"

"We didn't ask where the monk came from."

Seeing that Qiu Sheng was about to be exposed, Li Kunshan quickly took over the conversation.

"As for his name, he said his name is Master Ikkyu!"

"Master Ikkyu."

Uncle Jiu was a little surprised when he heard the name.

He once heard his junior fellow Taoist priest Simu mention that there was a monk living next to his house, whose Buddhist name was Ikkyu.

From the words of Taoist Simu, we can know that although he and Master Ikkyu do not get along, Master Ikkyu does have profound magical powers.

If it was Master Ikkyu, it would not be surprising that he had the ability to exorcise these evil spirits.

Moreover, Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng could not have known this name, so it was impossible for them to make it up.

"Yes! It's Master Ikkyu!"

Seeing that Uncle Jiu believed him, Qiu Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with confidence.

"Just think about it, if we let so many evil spirits go free, how could there be no movement? The entire Renjia Town would have been in trouble long ago."

"Indeed."

Uncle Jiu nodded, almost believing it.

If there were so many evil spirits doing evil, it would be impossible for him to be unaware of it.

"What kind of monk is so powerful? These evil spirits have taken the master years to suppress, but he can save them by just chanting sutras."

Wencai was still a little suspicious and always felt that there was something fishy going on between Qiu Sheng and Li Kunshan.

"That's not what I said."

Uncle Jiu waved his hand and explained.

"Taoism and Buddhism each have their own strengths, and they can't be lumped together. When it comes to liberating evil spirits, Buddhism is indeed superior. As long as those evil spirits sincerely convert to Buddhism, their sins can be washed away and they can be reborn as human beings. It's like putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly."

"As long as I believe in Buddhism, all my previous mistakes will be wiped out?"

Qiu Sheng curled his lips, looking as if he didn't agree.

"It's really unfair. It would be better if my junior brother could wipe them all out."

"What's all destroyed?"

"Brother, what you're saying is that evil spirits committed many evil deeds in their lifetime and they deserve to be punished. Instead of trying to save them, it's better to just beat them to ashes!"

Seeing that Qiu Sheng was almost exposed again, Li Kunshan quickly spoke up to make amends.

"Although I don't agree with laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly, it's too extreme to just beat the ghosts so hard that they can never be reincarnated."

Uncle Jiu shook his head and suddenly looked at his disciples seriously.

"Remember, always give everyone a chance, even ghosts. Don't be like your master uncle, who kills ghosts as soon as he encounters them."

"Uncle?"

The three of them looked at each other and asked quickly.

"Is he very powerful?"

"It's awesome."

"More powerful than you, Master?"

"Ahem, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

Uncle Jiu coughed twice, his face turned serious, and he walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

These evil spirits were originally going to be "reformed" and sent to the underworld, but now that they have been liberated by Master Ikkyu, the trouble has been saved.

Seeing Uncle Jiu leave, the matter was finally settled, and Qiu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're going back."

It was already late, and since Uncle Jiu and Wencai had returned, Qiu Sheng and Li Kunshan also left.

Qiu Sheng has a bicycle, and Li Kunshan's house is not far from the charity cemetery, so he can walk there.

"At least it wasn't all in vain."

After returning home, Li Kunshan opened the system and checked the entries he had obtained during the day.

A total of eleven ghosts were killed and twelve entries were obtained. One of the ghosts was more powerful and actually contributed two entries, including a blue entry!
[Beware of Thunder (Blue): It's best not to go out on rainy days, or you might get struck by lightning.]

[Strong and Robust (White): You possess greater strength and endurance than an average person, possessing the physique of a standard ox or horse.] [Eagle-like Vision (White): Ouch, you can turn back without even turning around.]

[Bold and strong (white): Your waist is as thick as a bear's.]

……

After checking them one by one again, Li Kunshan frowned slightly, wondering if there was something seriously wrong with the system, and his words sounded like he deserved a beating.

But this is not important, what is important is the effect of the entry.

The most precious thing is naturally the blue entry, but after reading it, Li Kunshan was puzzled again.

What does it mean to be careful of thunder? Can being easily struck by lightning be considered a benefit?

But the system must have a purpose for saying this, which has yet to be discovered.

Li Kunshan didn't delve into it for the time being and looked at other white entries.

Among them, the two items [eagle-like eyes and wolf-like gaze] and [hateful face] are in a gray and closed state because they contradict the existing entries [loyal and honest] and [fair and handsome].

If you want to activate these two entries, you need to close the conflicting entry.

Li Kunshan thought about it and decided to keep the original two entries.

"There's nothing good about this."

Apart from [Strong and Robust], [Broad-Bone and Strong Arms] and the like, which slightly enhance the body, the rest have almost no meaning.

Come to think of it, it’s a white entry, what else can you ask for?

"Try it!"

In Li Kunshan’s opinion, these white entries are originally consumables!

Use them to fuse into advanced entries!

After confirming it, Li Kunshan started trying it immediately.

The fusion of entries is not a one-pot mix. The compatibility between entries is very important. To put it bluntly, they must be of the same category.

For example, [strong and healthy] and [both parents have passed away] have nothing to do with each other, and it is basically impossible to combine them to create any new entries.

Even if a new "freak" attribute is managed to be fused, it will most likely still be white and will not provide any improvement.

“These.”

Li Kunshan thought for a moment and threw together seven entries that added bonuses to the body, including [strong body], [broad shoulders and broad waist], etc.

"Fusion!"

[Should we merge the seven white entries, including "strong and healthy," "broad-shouldered," etc.?]

After the command was issued, the system prompt sounded.

"Yes."

Li Kunshan confirmed it immediately without any hesitation.

【Fusion completed! 】

[Obtain the new entry Plate Rib Twisted Tendon (Blue)! ]

There is no intermediate link, the result comes directly.

"Success!"

Li Kunshan showed excitement, and he really came up with a high-level entry.

[Bold Ribs and Twisted Sinews (Blue): His ribs and tendons are like a whole, and his tendons are like a twisted dragon, a natural fit for martial arts.]

Although there is not much change in appearance, you can feel by touching it with your hands that the gaps between the ribs are much smaller and are filled with fascia.

In addition, Li Kunshan could clearly feel that his strength had increased a lot.

I couldn't help but nod, it's worthy of being a blue entry.

"Fusion!"

Having tasted the sweetness, Li Kunshan then merged the four appearance-related entries among the remaining six white entries.

[Achieve a new entry: Charming Temperament (White)! ]

[Your temperament is very confusing (white): You appear honest, but you harbor cunning thoughts. Your temperament is as complex as you are.]

"really."

Although they are all entries about appearance, because the directions are not unified, the result is a weird entry, and the level has not been improved.

"That's it."

Li Kunshan looked at the remaining entries and did not continue.
