I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 26 Killing and Punishing the Heart

Lao Lu Temple, Patriarch Hall.

Lu Wujiu sat cross-legged in front of the hall, closed his eyes and waited quietly for the result of the Daoyuan test.

In the hall behind him, the smoke of incense curled up, and the golden afterglow of the setting sun poured down on his shoulders, as if giving him a touch of divinity.

"Damn it, I'm going to tear you into pieces!"

The sudden shouting and screaming outside the courtyard startled Liu Qingtan so much that he subconsciously looked towards Lu Wujiu:

"Mr. Lu, there's a fight outside."

Lu Wujiu opened his eyes and smiled softly:
"Don't panic, just wait and watch the show."

Ji Yunzi beside him looked meaningful when he heard this:
"Night ghosts knock on cloud boards, jackals rob the Taoist altar, two peaches kill three warriors, hanging meat to play with night tricks! Daoist friend, you really have good methods. I'm afraid few people can escape unscathed right now. With such cruel methods, aren't you afraid that your Dao heart will be tainted?"

Lu Wujiu: "Fellow Daoist, you are wrong. I gave them the opportunity, but they were greedy and reckless. Now they are trapped in the world of fame and fortune. Who can they blame?"

Ji Yunzi: "How greedy and reckless! Daoist friend, aren't you afraid of raising a Gu King, taking the Daoyuan Talisman, and taking over the Laolu Temple?"

Lu Wujiu: "Dao Fate Dao Fate, I'm just afraid they have Dao but no Fate."

Ji Yunzi shook his head: "The plan is too deep, be careful of the backlash."

Lu Wujiu smiled lightly and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

The flash of swords and the shadows of knives awaken the beautiful dream of the martial arts world, and the barking and howling echoes throughout the ancient temple.

For a moment, the shouting and killing outside the yard became more and more tragic.

"what--"

"Second brother! Second brother——"

"Kill him. The Daoyuan Talisman was snatched away by the Double Blade King."

"Bullshit, he doesn't have any Dao Yuan Talisman on him!"

"You said it doesn't mean it doesn't exist?"

"I am going to kill you!"

Screams, roars, excuses, roars... each sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky.

Everyone was blood-thirsty!
Someone grabs the talisman;

Some people seek revenge;

Even if someone tries to quit, they will be regarded as someone who has stolen the Taoist talisman and will be killed.

The crazy scene outside the courtyard made those who were chosen to take the boy test outside the Patriarch's Hall turn pale. The timid ones shrank into the Patriarch's Hall, while the brave ones stood by the door and stretched their heads to look outside.

This tragic scene provided a very vivid lesson for those seeking the truth.

I don’t know how long it took, the shouting and killing sounds gradually became weaker, and finally ended in silence!
Liu Qingtan stood up and looked towards the gate nervously, wondering who would be the final winner.

The seekers of truth gathered at the door suddenly scattered in fear. A figure covered in blood staggered in, followed by seven or eight wandering cultivators.

These people were all in a mess, covered in wounds, and their blood was stained, whether it was their own or someone else's.

However, at this moment, no one felt embarrassed, but rather felt extremely terrified.

The setting sun was as red as blood, covering the leader Liu Lao Da with a layer of golden armor.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Lu Wujiu intently, shouting in a hoarse voice:

"This Taoist temple doesn't have any Dao Fate Talismans, right?!!"

The words shocked the gods and ghosts!

In an instant, countless eyes focused on Lu Wujiu.

Lu Wujiu had a blank expression on his face: "Are you doubting the reputation of Lao Luguan?"

Boss Liu went straight to the point: "If you have the guts, find it right now, or Old Luguan will become the laughing stock of the world, unless... you can kill everyone present."

The last sentence made countless people's eyelids twitch.

Lu Wujiu stared at Boss Liu:

"My reputation as a lawyer shouldn't be trampled upon. But if I have to prove my innocence because of your suspicion, then every time someone slanders me, I'll have to run around trying to prove it."

As soon as these words came out, Boss Liu laughed and said directly,

"You can also choose not to prove it. Justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Seeing this, Ji Yunzi couldn't help but sigh and shook his head slightly.

I don't know if he was lamenting the backlash against Lu Wujiu;
I still lament Boss Liu's outspokenness.

Liu Qingtan also subconsciously looked at Lu Wujiu. The palms of his hands, which were tucked into his sleeves, were covered with cold sweat, almost soaking the talismans.

"Well, since you want to see it, I will find it for you." Lu Wujiu stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall.

That straightforward attitude made Boss Liu's eyes narrow, and Ji Yunzi secretly muttered, could it be that this guy really has hidden the Daoyuan Talisman?

But if he hid the Daoyuan Talisman, wouldn’t he be afraid of being found?
Everyone followed with their own ulterior motives.

Lu Wujiu went straight to the backyard of Lao Lu Temple. Just as he stepped in, Boss Liu suddenly shouted from behind him:

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Boss Liu with a questioning look on his face: "You said where the fate talisman is, let's check it ourselves!"

These words clearly indicate that he suspected Lu Wujiu of tampering with something and hiding himself at the scene.

Lu Wujiu shook his head, sighing:
"I hesitate, suspecting my neighbor of stealing my axe. How can I cultivate the Dao with such a mindset? No wonder opportunities are so rare. Well, the Dao Yuan Talisman, the Dao Yuan Talisman. Since I'm seeking Dao Yuan, how can I not pay homage to the ancestors? These three tombs are the tombs of the previous Master Li and his disciples. After three kowtows and nine prostrations, the Dao Yuan Talisman will appear!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Boss Liu rushed out, knelt in front of the grave, and started banging his head.

At the same time, several independent cultivators also kowtowed and knelt down.

Soon, Boss Liu finished kowtow three times and nine bows.

However, the tomb was as quiet as before, and no Taoist talismans appeared.

"Where's the Daoyuan Talisman?"

Boss Liu suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Wujiu, a hint of madness flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Everyone looked surprised and confused.

"Even if you can guide a person without the Way, it's useless. He will never be able to reach the Great Way. How sad! How lamentable!"

Lu Wujiu shook his head and suddenly said, "Take a closer look at the grave."

Being ridiculed like this, Boss Liu was so angry that he almost bit his teeth.

But he still held back and looked carefully at the grave.

At this moment, a wandering cultivator suddenly asked, "There seems to be a word 'fate' on this tomb?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked intently, but they didn't see the word "fate" at all.

"Where? Where is the word 'fate'?"

"That's right!"

"No?"

"I see, you have to kneel down to see this!"

After a flurry of discussion, someone finally discovered the key.

It turned out that the gravel on the tomb was piled up at a special angle to form a big "缘" character. It could not be seen when standing, but if you knelt, the character would appear.

This magical scene dispelled the fear of many children.

Many people ran over, knelt down to take a look, and marveled at it.

After Liu Lao Da did as he was told, he saw the word "fate" and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Lu Wujiu continued to kill people and destroy their hearts:
"In order to be fair, I am unable to retrieve the talisman. Which warrior is willing to leave his body and go to the tomb to retrieve the Daoyuan Talisman?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a wandering cultivator soon volunteered to take on the task, sat cross-legged, and his spirit left his body.

Not long after, the wandering cultivator brought out two Daoyuan talismans from the crack of the tomb.

When everyone present saw this scene, they immediately started talking about it. Boss Liu’s doubts seemed so ridiculous in the face of overwhelming evidence!

“You have no ability, so you doubt Lao Luguan. You are worthy of being the three brothers of the Liu family. Your reputation is well-deserved!”

"What three Liu brothers? I just saw him. When we were looking for the talisman, he was standing guard outside the courtyard, ordering his two younger brothers around. Now that his younger brother is dead, he still has the nerve to blame Old Luguan. How shameless!"

With the evidence being irrefutable, I wonder how many young cultivators secretly ridiculed him.

The murmuring was like a soft, deadly knife, stabbing into Boss Liu's heart, making his face lose all color!
"Ha ha……"

Boss Liu laughed, a hoarse laugh, and the noisy atmosphere at the scene suddenly quieted down.

"It's all in vain! Hahaha..."

Boss Liu laughed loudly towards the sky and walked out while laughing.

Everyone made way for him as if he were a madman.

Lu Wujiu watched coldly and wanted to say something, but for the sake of Lao Lu's reputation, he finally kept his mouth shut.

Boss Liu stumbled all the way. When he crossed the gate, he suddenly turned around like a night owl, grabbed Liu Qingtan's neck, and shouted angrily:
"Don't move! Or I'll kill him!"
