Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 336 The Smoke of War Dissipates, and the Double Pupils Open for the First Time
How can we help improve the quality of life for people in a place in this era?

Li Xuan was not an expert, but he tried his best to learn. He set up schools and used reason and emotion to help the people of Tanjia Town understand the benefits of literacy.

In the eyes of ordinary people, reading is something that only the wealthy can do.

Children from poor families are born to be laborers, like cattle and horses. Where would they get the spare money to go to school? And why would they need to cultivate the family's fields?

Li Xuan understood that many things couldn't be accomplished simply by talking.

He "persuaded" the Tan family to use money to improve people's livelihoods, distribute grain seeds, reduce their commissions, and allow the people to have a sense of happiness...

He had considered the idea of ​​"redistributing land to the rich and powerful," but he quickly dismissed it. Although he was capable of wielding great influence, he was not suited for that kind of thing, and he risked losing control of the situation if he was not careful.

Many injustices in Tanjia Town have already been subtly etched into the minds of both the bullies and the bullied, like a steel imprint on their minds. Trying to forcibly change these indiscriminately through brutal means will only lead to a backlash! Because the world outside Tanjia Town is still living in an "old-fashioned" environment…

Unless Li Xuan possesses extraordinary abilities that allow him to instantly change the world.

in the coming days.

After finishing his business in Tanjia Town, Li Xuan returned to Baiyun Village.

The Fengdu Temple has been completed. He personally searched for intelligent and respected elders in every nearby village to serve as temple keepers. With such people, pilgrims will gradually be attracted.

Li Xuan began to travel the world, going north and south, with Tan Baiwan always by his side. The originally plump merchant gradually became thin and dark-skinned, and his steps changed from heavy and dragging to brisk and swift.

Yuan Shikai's reign as president and his dominance over the Republic of China was short-lived, as he soon faced a series of upheavals! Bandits roamed the land, warlords fought amongst themselves, the people suffered terribly, and the chances of finding the corpses of destitute civilians on the roadside were higher than seeing stray dogs...

A few years later...

War breaks out!
Although this is a movie world, Li Xuan still tries his best to prevent the outbreak of war!
He discovered that the situation was far more brutal than he had read in books. The land was surrounded by powerful enemies, and even with all his efforts, he could only postpone the outbreak of war by a year and a half.

The billowing smoke rose straight into the sky.

The Tanjia Town and Baiyun Village that Li Xuan had been developing for a long time were on the right track. When he returned from outside, these two places had been turned into ruins of war...

He found Lin Jiu at Fengdu Temple in the mountains near Baiyun Village.

The Fengdu Temple was crowded with dozens of people, including Lin Jiu, A Qiang, and some elderly and weak women from the village. Their faces were sallow, and they had been without food for three days when Li Xuan arrived.

Lin Jiu was already close to fifty, but after only two or three years of not seeing him, he looked extremely haggard, with gray and disheveled hair, like a decrepit old man.

Lin Jiu said that when the Japanese soldiers came, he organized the security team and some young and strong men to resist and successfully repelled a small group. He thought he could have some peace and quiet for a while. But only half a month later, a well-equipped Japanese team arrived. They brought machine guns and artillery shells, and the security team was no match for them. The village was destroyed, and countless people were killed or wounded.

He led the villagers to flee up the mountain, and when they reached Fengdu Temple, these were the only ones left.

It seemed as if Fengdu Temple was protected by gods. When the Japanese soldiers went up the mountain to search, it was as if they encountered an illusion. The temple was right in front of them, but they could only turn around and turn and could not see it...

That's why they escaped unscathed.

The war raged on.

Li Xuan personally cleaned Fengdu Temple thoroughly, then handed it over to Lin Jiu, saying he was going down the mountain.

Lin Jiu seemed to have noticed something and asked before he left, "When are you coming back?"

Li Xuan said, "I'm not coming back."

……

War!

It is the greatest man-made disaster in the world!

Various religious sects sent people down the mountain to resist this disaster. They threw themselves into the immense calamity without hesitation. Some went infiltrate intelligence, some went to the island nation to carry out decapitation operations, and some fought bravely on the front lines, wielding long swords and blades to kill the enemy...

Li Xuan has a special constitution; he won't die unless he's directly hit by a cannonball.

But many people can't...

He saw Zhang Dadan and Xu Zhenren on a crucial battlefield.

The former Maoshan Taoist priest and Tanjia Town coachman, now dressed in military uniforms, lay in a shell crater. Zhang Dadan had lost a lot of weight, and he held half of Xu Zhenren's body, weeping bitterly.

Li Xuan poured out spiritual energy from his crimson gourd, attempting to susten Master Xu's life.

Xu Zhenren, who played a comedic role in the early stages of the "Encounters of the Spooky Kind" movies, used his last bit of strength to push away the purple-red gourd, uttered only one sentence, and then died.

He said, "I'm done for. Let others who are more useful take over."

A few days later, Zhang Dadan also died. He could never get over Xu Zhenren's death. One night, he sneaked into the Japanese position alone to try to kill the commander. Unfortunately, he was discovered. When he was shot several times, he detonated the explosives on his body, turning the Japanese commander's tent into an inferno...

Life is too fragile.

More than a decade has passed.

Because of his immortality, Li Xuan has remained the same as before.

He walked in the darkness, witnessing all sorts of turbulent and tragic events.

Finally, we saw the end of this war.

He stood on the mountain outside Baiyun Village, and around Fengdu Temple, he piled up dozens of tombs of various sizes.

Lin Jiu was still there, but he looked even more weathered, as if he would fall over if the wind blew by.

Ah-Qiang was also there, but his left hand was severed from the wrist, supposedly during a close-quarters battle. His personality had changed drastically; he was no longer as boisterous as before and had become taciturn. It seemed that he had lost his hand while saving Ah-De during the close-quarters battle…

Ade couldn't be saved either.

Tan Baiwan did not die. He was a shrewd businessman who infiltrated behind enemy lines and transmitted important intelligence on several occasions, playing a significant role in the operation.

Li Xuan cleaned up the somewhat dilapidated Fengdu Temple and placed an incense stick on each of the graves.

Lin Jiu walked over, leaning on his cane, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Li Xuan hummed in agreement.

His mission was completed long ago, but the notebook remained in this world without prompting him to.

Lin Jiu asked, "Are you coming back?"

Li Xuan said, "He won't be coming back."

Lin Jiu remained silent for a while before saying, "I see... then take care on your journey."

Li Xuan cupped his hands in farewell to Lin Jiu and said, "Let me say goodbye to the others and hope they take care."

Lin Jiu nodded.

Li Xuan walked down the mountain path, the mountain wind making the corner of his old military uniform flutter...

Lin Jiu's eyesight was failing, and he wanted to watch Li Xuan leave. His eyes stung, so he rubbed them, and when he looked again, Li Xuan was nowhere to be seen...

……

real world.

As the wind blew, Li Xuan appeared in the wind, still wearing the clothes he wore when he left that world.

He changed into real-world clothes, packed up his worn-out military uniform, put it in a box, and then placed it inside the crimson gourd. Green seedlings swayed.

Li Xuan joked, "Although I am immortal, this world is exhausting for me. How about a higher reward?"

The green seedling couldn't speak, but as its leaves swayed, a pale golden orb of light appeared in front of Li Xuan and burst open!

Li Xuan felt an intense stinging pain in his eyes. He covered them with his hands, and red blood flowed down between his fingers.

Wait until the pain subsides slightly.

He took out a mirror to observe the situation and found that the two pupils that were originally separate in his eyeballs were merging. The two pupils were like an inverted cell division process, and finally there was a smaller pupil in the end, like a large circle surrounding a small circle.

This……

Double pupils?

Li Xuan had read novels before, so he was well aware of the trope of "double pupils already lead to invincibility, why borrow another's supreme bone?"

At this point, the reward description appeared: "Double pupils are an upgrade from the double pupils in the world of 'Double Pupils'. They have the effect of permanently seeing through illusions. Unless attacked by a power level higher than that of the origin, double pupils cannot be destroyed and will not be affected by any negative effects that cause 'blinding'."

The written description is very brief.

But the fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

Although not the invincible double pupils found in fantasy novels, it's still very strong.

These dual pupils permanently see through illusions. Does this mean that when he travels to higher worlds—worlds of cultivation, immortality, or even mythology—no illusions, illusions, or disguises will be able to deceive him? More importantly, the eyeballs themselves possess an "indestructible" attribute and are immune to the blinding effects of any magical skills.

Li Xuan even felt that, setting aside the physical body, these two eyeballs could even rival the Six Ding Divine Fire in Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace.

After receiving the reward.

Li Xuan sat on a garden chair, staring blankly at the sky. Although he had returned to the real world, the scenes of war that took place in the world of "Mr. Spiritual Fantasy" were still replaying in his mind.

The deaths of Zhang Dadan and Xu Zhenren left a deep impression on him.

Li Xuan looked at the green seedling and asked, "Can I go back to these worlds I've visited in the future? Can I freely choose the time point? I hope to make up for some regrets."

The green seedlings swayed gently in response to Li Xuan's question.

Li Xuan stared at it for a while, but couldn't figure out what it was saying...

This plant is so miraculous. According to the words of the Northern Yin Emperor relayed by the Gong Cao, it must be something of a very high level.

Li Xuan found it hard to understand. If they were at such a high level, why couldn't they communicate and exchange ideas?

Or is it that my current "level" is not high enough?

……

Back in the real world, what Li Xuan really wanted to do was lie down and relax.

But he knew that strength was the foundation of everything, and that lying down was impossible; only those who made no contribution to society would choose to lie down...

He went out for a walk to clear his head.

Passing by a scratch-off lottery shop, I suddenly had the urge to spend 10 yuan to try my luck.

The moment the shopkeeper took out the scratch cards, Li Xuan was somewhat stunned, because to him, all the scratch cards were in a "scratched" state...

Looking at the boss's expression, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Li Xuan guessed a possibility. He took a scratch card and gently scratched it. A layer of semi-transparent gray substance on the surface was scratched away...

It turned out to be the case.

He knew why.

Because scratch cards inherently possess a "concealing" element, they can see through all illusions in front of his eyes, so this method of concealing and deceiving is naturally also an illusion.

Li Xuan coughed and said, "Boss, give me a brand new, complete box."

He opened the plastic film, ran it through his hand like a deck of cards, and immediately calculated the winnings. The total winnings from the 1,000 yuan scratch card were only 350 yuan…

This proportion...

Li Xuan felt that his eyes were somewhat like an upgraded version of the "golden pupils" in the novel that allow X-ray vision.

He finished the scratch cards and took away 350 yuan. Although he could make a lot of money with them, there was no need for it.

If you really need money, just use a wish-fulfillment novel template, go to a jade gambling market and then to a large casino abroad, and the money will naturally come. However, excessive gambling is still a bit against the law...

Li Xuan went home.

His phone kept buzzing with messages from the classmate group chat, as well as private messages from classmates, all asking about the female classmate's family situation from last time.

Turn on Do Not Disturb.

Let's put real-world matters aside for now.

He has already achieved immortality; if his strength increases, he might be able to travel through time in the future.

In the following time, Li Xuan absorbed the spiritual energy from the purple-red gourd to cultivate, and his internal magical power became more and more profound. His cultivation level vaguely reached the bottleneck of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

However, the opportunity hasn't arrived yet. This time, I'm not confident in breaking through, and the spiritual energy inside the purple-red gourd is insufficient.

Just as he was preparing to leave the real world for the next mission world, the Nine Springs Command inside the gourd vibrated, indicating that a message had arrived from the Fengdu Underworld.

Li Xuan answered the "phone call".

Wang Angongcao appeared in a cloud of smoke, holding a scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Li Xuan, you have performed meritorious deeds again this time, and your rank has been promoted again. Such rapid progress is truly enviable."

Without further ado, he unfurled the scroll and read aloud: "Li Xuan, disciple of the Northern Pole Mysterious Heaven Secret Register, scribe of the Heavenly One True Celebration Palace, Grand Judge of the Law Enforcement of the You Sheng Mansion, in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods in the Northern Yin Fengdu. Having accumulated enough merit, he has been specially promoted from the initial rank of the middle level to the middle rank of the middle level, and specially admitted as a True Scholar to receive the Register. He has been promoted to the Law Enforcement True Official of the Yuanhe Transfer Bureau, and is in charge of the criminal and prison affairs of the Six Heavens Demon Spirits of Fengdu!"

It's very brief.

When he finished reading, the scroll turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the Nine Springs Command in Li Xuan's hand.

Although Li Xuan knew the process of a judge's promotion, he actually experienced it and was still somewhat excited. He performed a standard bow to thank the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu and Wang An for delivering the letter.

He was no longer a judge, but was directly promoted to a law enforcement official with greater power.

Wang Angongcao was speechless at Li Xuan's rapid advancement. If he hadn't watched Li Xuan's journey, he would have seriously doubted whether Li Xuan had some extraordinary connections in the Fengdu Underworld.

Could he be the son of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable?
Only at this altitude could the Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu, the incarnation of the Northern Purple Emperor, "give the green light"?
This is something only one can think about. What kind of existence is the Emperor of Fengdu? His true form is the second-ranking ruler of the Three Realms. Is it necessary for him to engage in such trivial social niceties?

Wang An smiled and said, "Congratulations, true law enforcement officer!"

The address of "Official in Charge of Law Enforcement" made Li Xuan blush deeply, and he hurriedly returned the greeting: "Wang Gongcao, we're old friends, there's no need for this..."

Wang Angong laughed heartily: "Your rapid promotion has truly surprised and delighted us. We are now presenting you with a copy of the 'True Official Scripture' for your perusal. You may read it carefully, as it details the powers and precautions of a True Official in Law Enforcement. Your troops have also increased from two hundred to five hundred."

Li Xuan took the booklet and immediately felt that the material was quite different from that of the judge's book, even having a somewhat "skin-like" feel.
