It turned out that when Wang Qiang was cleaning up the bandits' belongings yesterday, he found an ancient jade tablet in the Buddhist hall. It was rectangular and about half the size of a human hand.
There were some symbols and seal script characters engraved on it. As a poor student, Wang Qiang naturally didn't know what they meant when he looked at the scribbles.
However, the jade pendant felt refreshing and invigorating to the touch, instantly making one feel clear-headed and full of energy. Naturally, one knew it was a valuable item, so one immediately placed the jade pendant against one's chest and hid it away.
Last night, during his passionate encounter with Li Man, the jade pendant pierced his chest and vanished into nothingness, seeping into Wang Qiang's body. The jade pendant was gone; only the seal script characters remained on his chest.
Meanwhile, Li Man, who was tightly embracing Wang Qiang, kept her eyes closed in embarrassment and didn't notice anything amiss. However, as she touched Wang Qiang's body, she felt some indentations on his chest. It looked like writing.
Out of curiosity, he opened his eyes to look and asked, "Brother Wang Qiang, why are you carving words on your body?"
Li Man gently stroked Wang Qiang's chest with her small hand and asked.
"There's no inscription!"
"That's strange, these are clearly characters."
Li Man stared at Wang Qiang's chest, examining it closely.
"Oh, what character is it?"
Wang Qiang was also curious about what the words were. To him, they were just a few scars that looked like earthworms. Wang Qiang had been fighting since he was a child, and his body was covered with scars, so he didn't pay any attention to them!
"It looks like seal script!"
"What body?"
"Seal script is an ancient script for Chinese characters."
"Do you know him?"
"It seems to be... Sumeru!"
Li Man wasn't quite sure. She hadn't studied seal script much, only reading some books on the subject in the library when she was in school.
"Sumeru?"
For Wang Qiang, it was hard to understand what this was, but at this moment, Li Manyu lay sprawled out, and because she was carefully examining the seal script on Wang Qiang's chest, her fragrant shoulders were half-exposed, and her soft breasts leaned against Wang Qiang like jade.
Wang Qiang felt that his energy was more than a hundred times greater than before. As soon as Li Man finished speaking and looked up, Wang Qiang pounced on her and soon reached his peak.
While Wang Qiang was working hard, his mind became increasingly clear. He was already very perceptive, and now he was even more sharp-witted.
Hearing someone eavesdropping outside the window, Wang Qiang held his breath and, with a loud shout from Li Man, determined that the person eavesdropping was Yan Bugui.
After Wang Qiang calmed Li Man down, he went to check and found that Yan Bugui had secretly come to Xu Damao's room. Wang Qiang listened carefully, and the two men's conversation seemed to be right next to him.
"What should we do?"
If he were discovered to have secretly hoarded so much gold and silver and brought back several women, the consequences would be unimaginable. He wanted to send these things away, but in the dead of night, making a big fuss would only attract attention.
How can we deceive others?
Wang Qiang thought that if he had Sun Wukong's illusion magic, all of this could be covered up.
Just as they were getting anxious, a voice rang out, "The Thirty-Three Heavenly Lord, we've finally waited for you!"
"The Thirty-Three Heavens Lord?"
Wang Qiang was a little confused. What was going on? Had he finally gotten a system after being here for so long?
"This is the realm of Sumeru. You were originally the Indra of the city of Sudarshana, the heaven on the summit of Mount Sumeru. You ruled over all the heavens surrounding Mount Sumeru in the four directions, which together constitute the Thirty-Three Heavens, or the Lord of the Thirty-Three Heavens."
Wang Qiang was somewhat confused. He didn't believe any of this, but he was in a bind and had no choice but to try and see if there was a way out!
What is Indra?
"Indra is originally a guardian deity, the second king among the twenty gods, one of the twelve gods, and protector of the east."
Wang Qiang was overjoyed, "So, I am all-powerful, hahaha..."
"No, you've only opened the Sumeru Realm yet, you haven't ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens!"
"Pfft!" Wang Qiang was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Then what's the point of saying all this?"
"The Realm of Sumeru is where you can cultivate and become a saint as soon as possible!"
"Can I use an illusion technique? That's all I want to practice right now!"
"Yes, you may enter the Ruyi Pool. This Ruyi Pool is filled with the water of the Eight Virtues. With prolonged cultivation, you can attain the highest Dharma!"
Following the directions, Wang Qiang arrived at a pool with a circumference of two hundred yojanas. The spring water was clear and cold, and the surrounding area was filled with flowers and birdsong, a scene of unparalleled beauty.
Stepping into the Ruyi Pool, I felt a sense of comfort throughout my body, comparable to the power of a great sword. Following the guidance, I entered a meditative state.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already mastered the art of illusion. With a casual gesture, a pavilion appeared out of thin air, and stepping inside, it was indistinguishable from the real thing. But with another wave of his hand, the pavilion vanished.
How long have I been here?
After Wang Qiang entered into meditation, he felt that a long time had passed.
"Thirty Mount Sumeru have already passed!"
"What 30 days?"
Wang Qiang cried out, "This is it! I don't know what's going on outside!"
"It's not 30 days, but 30 Sumeru days, which is equivalent to a little over one minute in the human world!"
"Oh, I see!"
Wang Qiang hadn't expected that time flowed differently here compared to the outside world. After learning more, he discovered that one day outside was equivalent to 100 Sumi years. Here, it truly felt like living in two different dimensions.
Now that he had mastered the technique, Wang Qiang left the Ruyi Pool and returned to his room. However, his skill was not high, and the illusion could only last for 4 hours. Once that time was exceeded, he would revert to his original form.
Therefore, when Li Huaide and Xu Damao arrived with their men in the morning, Wang Qiang used an illusion to conjure up an identical courtyard house, except that it was missing the things he had brought with him.
What was found in Xu Damao's room was not gold or silver coins. It was a figment of Wang Qiang's imagination, based on the two boxes he had acquired. In reality, they were just two broken boxes from Xu Damao's house containing clothes and blankets.
After Li Huaide had his men carry the boxes away and take Xu Damao away, he ordered Xu Damao to be locked up and his men to move the belongings back to his own home.
After dismissing everyone, Li Huaide called his wife over.
"Look, what is this?"
"So many? Where did they come from?"
Upon seeing the two boxes of yellow and white goods, Li Huaide's wife's eyes lit up with excitement, and she jumped around excitedly.
"Really, could Xu Damao be hiding something? The Lou family has more than just this much, doesn't they?"
After hearing his account of what happened, Li Huaide's wife asked him a question.
“What you said makes sense. The Lou family has been running the steel rolling mill for so many years, this little bit of stuff is nothing. There's definitely more to it than meets the eye. But don't worry, Xu Damao is already locked up by me, I'm not afraid he won't talk!”
"That's good. But this matter must never be known to anyone!"
Don't worry!
