Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 405 The Li Family's Educational Methods, and My Need for a Doctor

Unaware that Li Jue was about to suffer misfortune, Zhang Ze strode towards the main hall with an air of indifference.

But as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he turned back.

The situation inside the hall was complicated, with countless branching corridors and paths, and he had no idea which way to go.

"Which way?" Zhang Ze asked.

“Go forward, then go through the third door on the right. Master Grape is there,” the junior brother playing the Taoist replied.

Zhang Ze, "Grape Ancestor?"

Zhang Ze didn't understand, but just as he was about to ask a question, a flying kick came from outside the door, causing the disciple playing the Taoist priest to stumble.

"It's Bodhi Patriarch, Subhuti! Can't you have some professional ethics and memorize your lines?!"
"I told you, I should play the Taoist priest, and you should play the old village chief. How could we be exposed if we arranged it this way?"

The one who kicked the man was the disciple who played the old village chief.

"Get lost! If you're caught out, it's all your little Qilin's fault!"
"Besides, I raise pigs, I'm not an actor, so what professional ethics do I need to uphold? Furthermore, who gets what role is decided by lottery, so what are you babbling about?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his lower back and got up from the ground. He raised his hand and summoned his natal spirit beast, the Akina Mountain Wild Boar King, and then performed a drifting pig car attack on his friend.

The disciple, still dressed as the old village chief, also raised his hand and summoned his first natal spirit beast, a snow lion with a snow-white body, a red face, and golden eyes.

What was supposed to be a proper rehearsal suddenly turned into a full-blown fight.

Seeing the two suddenly start fighting, Zhang Ze raised his hand as if to try to mediate, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Ze thought for a moment, then raised his hand to beckon the culprit behind the blunder—the glossy little Qilin.

The little guy was having a great time watching the fight, and it only came over after Zhang Ze called it a few times.

Patting the little guy's head, Zhang Ze put the two books into its small shoulder bag.

I bought a book called "Ancient Methods of the Demon Clan: Postpartum Care for Wild Boars" from a demon market in the Northern Territory; I don't know if it's real or not.

A book titled "An Actor Prepares" was originally Meimei's memoir, but because she remembered nothing, she turned it into a reincarnation fantasy novel, with all the plot points made up.
These two have worked so hard, Zhang Ze would feel bad if he didn't leave them something as a thank you gift.

Entering the hall is like entering another world.

The sounds of fighting in the courtyard had ceased; the only sound that could be heard was Zhang Ze's own footsteps.

"The Greatly Enlightened Golden Immortal has no defiled form, the wondrous appearance of the Western Patriarch Bodhi; neither born nor dying, practicing the Threefold Path, possessing complete Qi..."

Before the book bag was finished hanging, Zhang Ze followed his junior brother's directions and walked to the end of the corridor.

Pushing open the door of a shrine, Zhang Ze saw 'Bodhi Patriarch'.

how to say
It's fair to say it's quite erotic, very dark, and very mythical.

'Bodhi' had disheveled hair, a voluptuous chest, and half of her face was strangely alluring.

She slumped to the ground, her gray robe covering her lower body. It was unclear whether there was a futon beneath her; all that could be seen were the piles of white bones around her.

The bones were small and indistinguishable from their original owner.

Bodhi's withered right hand was covered with teeth marks, whether from her own nibbling or from being bitten by rats, it was hard to tell.

Looking at the darkened 'Bodhi', Zhang Ze couldn't help but slap himself.

'I deserve to die, why did I have to write a romance version of Journey to the West?'

Upon hearing the sound of a slap, 'Bodhi Patriarch' raised his head and pointed his right hand at Zhang Ze.

"Eat me."

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, not expecting this turn of events. According to the plot, shouldn't she be the one eating him?

"Eat me and you'll gain immortality; eat me and you'll obtain the Daoist scriptures; eat me!"

'Bodhi' ignored Zhang Ze, seemingly lost in some kind of dream, his voice sometimes hoarse and sometimes warm, as if he had returned to the past.

To be honest, the scene was really atmospheric. If the two people outside hadn't given themselves away, and the atmosphere had been properly built up, they could have really been fooled by her.

But there are no ifs. Zhang Ze looked at 'Bodhi' with a calm and unwavering heart.

"Maybe next time, I ate breakfast today," Zhang Ze couldn't help but add.

"That's not up to you!" The murmur turned into a roar.

'Bodhi' pounced. Its withered hand grabbed Zhang Ze's forearm and pulled him into the black curtain.

The moment he was pulled into the curtain, the illusion cast on him vanished, and Zhang Ze transformed back into his original form from a child.

After 'Bodhi' threw Zhang Ze to the ground, she raised her three long, white legs and stepped on him. 'Bodhi's bewitching face also got closer and closer to Zhang Ze...

"Eat me!"

The sound of 'Bodhi' entered Zhang Ze's ears again.

However, upon hearing it again, Zhang Ze suddenly felt that the words were strange, full of some discordant implications.

'Wait, did that pig farmer give the wrong directions? What kind of grandfather tests his grandson like this?'

Is there something wrong with the Li family's parenting style?

Just as Zhang Ze was about to run away and quit, the alluring face in front of him suddenly changed its appearance.

It happened so fast, like a face changing.

The alluring married woman disappeared, replaced by the face of Elder Li.

With red hair, a rugged bronze face, bulging temples, and dark golden pupils staring intently at Zhang Ze, he resembled an enraged lion.

The problem is that only the face has changed, but the body hasn't.

Bodhi's lower body still resembled that of a woman with voluptuous breasts...

Zhang Ze didn't know how to evaluate it, he could only say that the Li family's educational methods were indeed quite unique.

If the old man usually uses this method of education, then Zhang Ze truly admires Li Jue.

Grandpa tormented his soul, and his sister tormented his body, yet he was able to grow up normally; he truly deserves a special gift.

Brother Li is indeed destined for great things.

Zhang Ze dared not imagine what kind of psychological trauma Li Jue or someone else would have suffered if they were here and happened to have some evil thoughts.

It's estimated that it might take a year or two to recover.

I bet the moment I take off my pants, the image of Elder Li's imposing and resolute face will pop into my head...

Moreover, to be fair, even though Zhang Ze was prepared, Old Master Li's actions still frightened him so much that he wanted to call the police.

Zhang Ze felt that after he got out, he should ask Li Jue for some compensation for emotional distress, since he had taken the blame for Li Jue.

As Zhang Ze pondered calculating the compensation for emotional distress, Old Master Li's roaring voice reached his ears.

"I've told you since you were little that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and that you shouldn't pick up things randomly. Have you ever listened to me?"

"answer me!"

"look into my eyes!"

This roar made Zhang Ze's heart tremble.

Then came Old Master Li's lectures, which, judging from the beginning, would take at least seven or eight hours to finish.

Moreover, while giving reasoned education, probably in order to bring the grandfather and grandson closer, a carrot and stick approach was used, and Li Jue's childhood anecdotes were interspersed from time to time.

This is a pre-set image by Grandpa Li, and it will never stop.

Zhang Ze lay there expressionless. After listening for another five minutes, he decided that he had to take some measures.

He couldn't listen anymore; he already knew too many secrets. If he listened any longer, Zhang Ze feared the Li family would kill him.

Zhang Ze reached into his pocket and grasped half of the jade pendant in his hand.

The advanced mass-produced magic weapon of the Beast Taming Sect.

Heart-to-Heart Teleportation Talisman.

This talisman has two sides, yin and yang, and is made from the same Soul-Chasing Jade. Within a range of thirty miles, it can be used as an anchor point for teleportation.

The initial purpose of researching this thing was to find those silly dogs and birds that ran wild and disappeared without a trace.

But because it was so useful, it later became a tool for finding people.

Zhang Ze originally bought it for A Li, but after giving the talisman to A Li, she ate it like a snack within half a day.

Later, Zhang Ze bought another one and gave it to his junior sister.

"Destroy it."

Having vowed never to be curious about other people's affairs again, Zhang Ze activated the Mother Talisman in his hand and teleported away.

Inside the shrine, the eerie 'Bodhi' continued to output power into the air according to its pre-programmed sequence...

"answer me!"

……

The Heart-to-Heart Teleportation Talisman is called teleportation, but strictly speaking, it is actually a kind of escape technique that must be performed with the help of the Soul-Chasing Jade.

Therefore, the feeling of moving around is not pleasant, far less comfortable than a normal teleportation array. In terms of stability and speed, it is also incomparable to a teleportation array.

So, unsurprisingly, Zhang Ze's plane crashed just before landing.

A sudden surge of magical energy intercepted Zhang Ze halfway, pulling him out of his teleportation state.

Before he could even stand up straight, a black gust of wind swept past him, nearly killing him.

As fate would have it, it was Li Jue.

The kid ran incredibly fast, carrying a coffin lid on his back. Judging from its appearance, the coffin lid must have been taken down from some dungeon level.

Inside the coffin lid lay a totem pillar, which had also been removed from the scene level.

The pillars are in the style of the Western Barbarians, depicting a scene of ferocious beasts feeding. At the top of the totem pillar, a gull-eating bird grins with its mouth wide open and its eyes bulging, glaring at the whole world.

"Li Jue...cough," Zhang Ze wanted to ask, looking at Li Jue's unique appearance, but the words caught in his throat. Something bumped into his back.

The impact was quite severe, nearly shattering Zhang Ze's protective sword aura.

Looking back down, he realized that the one who had bumped into him was Li Jue's spirit pet, Bai Xiao.

The white owl lay sprawled on the ground, twitching, flapping its wings in an attempt to get up, but due to the severe impact, it failed to do so despite several attempts.

"Wake up, what's wrong? What's over there?" Zhang Ze flicked a faint light from his fingertip and touched Bai Xiao's forehead, but it did not wake Bai Xiao.

Its eyes remained closed, and it twitched occasionally.

Zhang Ze reached out and pried open Bai Xiao's eyes. His once sharp pupils were now cloudy and murky, as if covered with a layer of black ash.

The symptoms are somewhat similar to those of external pathogens invading the body and the resulting mental confusion.

Zhang Ze picked up Bai Xiao, treated its injuries from the collision, and fed it a quick-acting heart-saving pill made by the Beast Taming Sect, a must-have for spirit beasts at home and on the go.

He took this quick-acting heart medicine from the candy jar the day before yesterday when he was stealing Ah Li's snacks.

Zhang Ze had originally planned to take some time to prepare himself mentally before trying it, but he never expected it to come in handy now.

Steal another one tomorrow...

Having made up his mind, Zhang Ze used his escape technique to chase after Li Jue in the direction he had fled.

……

Li Jue was still running because he was lost.

Thanks to Zhang Ze's brilliant design, the sewers are filled with all sorts of doors that can't be opened, corridors where the exit is the entrance, and dead ends that suddenly appear in front of you like a ghost wall.

Even good people find it difficult to leave.

At the same time, Li Jue's eyes, like Bai Xiao's, were covered with a layer of black and gray.

This layer of blackish-gray affected Li Jue's perception and judgment.

His perception was distorted, and the world appeared to him in a completely different light.

As a result, this already dark sewer became even more bizarre and inexplicable in Li Jue's eyes.

"Sister, please don't let anything happen to you..." Li Jue muttered to himself as he carried the coffin lid.

He now deeply regrets it, regretting why he listened to the slander of that inner voice and why he picked up those black pebbles.

If he could do it all over again, Li Jue vowed he would never pick up things randomly again.

He not only harmed his sister, but also himself.

The bag of invincible black pebbles that he had picked up was now only half full, and Li Jue was holding it tightly in his hand.

Whenever the monster that had been chasing him was about to get close, he would drop a stone.

Each pebble will slow the monster down for a while, but the monster will soon come chasing after you again, and it will be stronger than before.

This is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but he had no choice but to do it.

Li Jue tilted his head and glanced at the totem pillar inside the coffin lid. Looking at the ferocious beast totem with its blue face, fangs, and bulging eyes, he pleaded.

"Sister, wake up and say something."

However, no matter how much Li Jue pleaded, the ferocious beast totem remained silent, staring straight at Li Jue.

With a sudden pang of fear, you feel a gust of wind behind you, and the monster in the darkness reappears, getting closer and closer.

Opening the brocade pouch, Li Jue planned to use another pebble to delay the monster.

However, instead of throwing it behind him, he put the pebble to his mouth.

Just as he was about to swallow the pebble, a hand reached out from the darkness to the side, grabbed Li Jue's arm, and pulled him into the dark tunnel.

Then Li Jue saw a golden gong appear in front of him, shining brightly, and it came crashing down on his face.

when!
Jinluo is great, it's confusing but doesn't hurt your brain...

……

After successfully striking, Zhang Ze dragged Li Jue to the monitoring room in the underground city.

Although Li Jue was unconscious, he still clung tightly to the totem pole and did not let go.

But the bag of black stones has disappeared without a trace.

After placing the golden gong on Li Jue's chest as a talisman, Zhang Ze turned to look at the crystal screen in the monitoring room.

The video above showed Li Jue's escape, with only him and Bai Xiao on screen.

After noticing that Bai Xiao and Li Jue were acting strangely, Zhang Ze immediately shut down all the mechanisms in the underground city. Logically, there shouldn't be any more danger.

But it was clear that something was chasing him.

Zhang Ze looked at Li Jue again, recalling the gray-black veil in his and Bai Xiao's eyes.

The problem might lie with him.

Zhang Ze went to the control panel, activated the barrier in the monitoring room, and began setting up a magic array around Li Jue.

After everything was settled, Zhang Ze took out a large bell from his treasure bag.

This bell was sent by the Buddhist sect from the East China Sea, intended to be a sacred treasure of the Thousand Machine Pavilion University in the future.

However, due to numerous tasks and a full schedule, Qianjige Primary School has only just started to get on track, and the middle school has not yet been built.

Currently, Qianji Pavilion University is still in the early stages, with only blueprints drawn up and no teachers or students. Therefore, Zhang Ze intercepted this bell and is keeping it with him for the time being.

This clock is interesting too.

It was not used for telling time; its true function was to discipline and educate students.

If a student becomes disobedient, becomes delirious, has impure thoughts, is invaded by evil spirits, or suffers a sudden illness, they can be locked inside this bell.

Just one tap.

Even if the Heavenly King himself possessed you, you'd still be struck out by this bell.

These are the exact words spoken by the Buddhist master when he handed the golden bell to Zhang Ze.

Moreover, when he said this, the master had an expression that was both nostalgic and frightening, clearly indicating that he had been treated by this bell...

"I hope it helps."

Zhang Ze covered his ears and used magic to make the bell float above Li Jue and Bai Xiao's heads.

He then leaped high into the air and delivered a powerful kick to the bell using a secret technique from the Sword Sect: the Mighty Vajra Leg.

The way to use top-tier magical artifacts is this simple and unadorned.

According to the instruction manual that came with the clock, the clock is to be used as follows.

[Beat it like crazy, it won't break. The louder you hit it, the greater the power. Even the Heavenly King himself would kneel down upon hearing it.]

Although it's unclear why that master had such a strong opinion about the ethereal folk deity, Laozi, he certainly didn't lie to Zhang Ze; that's how the bell was used.

The thunderous sound of the bell rang out, making Zhang Ze's whole body go numb.

At the same time, Li Jue and Bai Xiao were also jolted awake by the impact.

It's like a zombie coming back to life.

The white owl flapped its wings, feathers flying everywhere, and crashed into the cabinet with a thud, then fell flat on its face.

Li Jue sat up in shock, his head hitting the inner wall of the bell. The impact was so solid that he fell back down with a thud.

Even so, he still clung to the totem pole and didn't let go.

Aside from causing some minor secondary damage, something was actually shaken out of Li Jue and Bai Xiao's bodies.

A shadow resembling black mist emerged from Bai Xiao and Li Jue's foreheads, then materialized.

It was entirely black and emaciated. Although it was humanoid, it had a strange appearance, as if it were pieced together from the corpses of several monsters.

Under the intimidation of the golden bell, it tried to escape to the outside of the monitoring room, but was blocked by several magic arrays.

Under the combined power of the golden bell and the magic array, the monster's eyes rolled back, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

I don't know if he's dead or just passed out.

After the monster was shaken out, the echo of the golden bell had not yet dissipated when something else was shaken out of Li Jue's body.

Two egg yolks flew out from Li Jue's chest and, just like Li Jue, crashed into the golden bell with a thud.

The force was too great, and the bell, which was about to stop, was amplified again. It was this sudden sound that almost caused the yolks of the two eggs to break.

It fell to the ground as if it were dead, the two yolks rolling to Zhang Ze's feet, flashing rapidly as if the electricity had died...

After a long while, the bell finally stopped ringing, and only Zhang Ze remained alive in the monitoring room.

Two egg yolks, a person, a bird, and a shadowy monster all lay motionless on the ground, unable to rise again, appearing to be dead.

Although the result was somewhat unexpected for Zhang Ze, on the bright side, the master had not fooled him.

With this power, even the Heavenly King himself would have to kneel down.

Zhang Ze, who had unexpectedly gotten a pentakill, patted his somewhat dazed head. After regaining his senses, he took out a small walnut and sent it to his junior sister.

"Junior sister...where is Sister Qi? Oh, she's with you. Then I need to ask you for a favor."

"Hey, it's nothing serious, I just need you to help me find a few doctors."

“One isn’t enough, bring a few more. I need a veterinarian, a human doctor, and an egg doctor... Hmm, I mean, I’d like to call the old man and all those other star gods over as well.”

"By the way, could you please bring Senior Sister Qiao over as well? I need her help... not to move bricks or dig holes, but to help me appraise some things."

"I suspect that the essence of the calamity is the chaotic entity that has collapsed..."

Zhang Ze looked at the monster that had been shaken out of Li Jue's body and was now lying on the ground, and said...
