Chapter 76

The older man's face gradually turned red when he heard his wife's words. He punched his wife on the head and whispered, "You shameless bitch, you fat sow who can't give birth, you dirty, obscene, low-class, paramecium-like disgusting thing that can't think! Go to hell! I have endured it for long enough, I can't stand it anymore. You deserve to die."

He killed his wife.

Then, others began to flee, they began to die, or disappeared, until there was no one else who dared to stand there any longer.

The area was vacant, and after a short while, those people appeared there again.

This time, a black figure was crawling on the ground. As it moved forward little by little, the people looked at each other, as if they had reached a conclusion in silence. This time, they sent a third different person to come over, stand next to the black figure, and whisper to him, "Hello?"

Sure enough, the black block stood up from the ground and became elegant and noble, like an English gentleman from the last century.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

asked the gentleman-like black block.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit the miracle. I heard that there is an elixir of immortality here. It's interesting, isn't it? I came here after hearing it. You don't know how much effort I put in. My car broke down on the way. I almost had to walk home. Fortunately, I didn't want to go home now. There were people living nearby, so I stayed there temporarily. They took care of me and showed me the way. I am grateful to them."

The gentleman said, "They are all good people, no doubt, very kind, and I hope you are the same. If someone gets the elixir and gives it to me, I will be even more grateful to you. I will publicize your good deeds and let everyone who has seen me know how good you are and how much you take care of me. I can give a large sum of money to the person who gets the elixir."

He looked at everyone and asked, "Do you all know this?"

The person on the other side was stunned for a moment and asked: "What? What should we know?"

The gentleman replied: "To know the whereabouts of the elixir, or to know whether you need a large sum of money."

He smiled and said, "I think you will need it."

Opposite him was a man in a white shirt. He frowned and forced a smile, saying, "Indeed, most people are short of money. You've come to the right place."

This seems like a joke.

The gentleman didn't quite catch what was said and smiled, "That's great. I hope we can both get what we want."

He still wanted to get the elixir very much.

The man in the white shirt asked, "Do you know how we can find the elixir?"

The gentleman thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much, but if you want to know, I'm happy to tell you what I know. Kneel down with every step you take, and shout, 'I want to see a ghost. I beg the ghost fairy to give me the elixir. Maybe you will get the elixir.'"

The man in the white shirt was skeptical, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay. So that's how it is."

A crooked man came over and asked, "One kneel for every step?"

The gentleman nodded.

The man in the white shirt then asked, "Are there any places to stay and food around here? I mean, on the top of the mountain?"

The gentleman thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know."

The gentleman waved at them and said, "Since you have nothing else to ask, I will leave."

Before anyone could try to stop him, the gentleman walked away and soon disappeared.

A dark object that looked like a gourd climbed up, and a voice came out of it: "Pray to Buddha for a child, Guanyin Bodhisattva, pray for life or death, as long as my heart is sincere, I will get a son. Nonsense, it must not be like that. Whether it is a boy or a girl is determined at the beginning, and there is no possibility of modification. Nonsense, I will definitely get a son, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the black thing seemed to quarrel with him, exploded, turned into a ball of fire, and chased after everyone.

Some people were swallowed up when they could no longer run, becoming part of the flames and chasing the others. Anyone who was hiding would be found immediately if they told the swallowed people where they were.

Someone shouted: "Oh no! They are no longer our companions! Don't talk to them anymore!"

And then they all died.

It seemed that running away or shouting would be of no use.

Jongin pointed to the other direction and said to the park, "Look, over there, they are talking about that black thing that turns into flames when they shout."

Leyuan looked over there and the sound seemed to have become a little louder.

"What's the point of being neither male nor female? They are all ignorant people. How can they talk nonsense without any scientific basis? Oh, they are not modern people, not even modern people. They are just far away from apes. It doesn't mean that they are really smart enough to realize that they are in a huge and terrible scam. That is not a good thing, but it can't be changed."

"What can we do?"

"Maybe we can experiment. Try saying something different to the black trash and see if their reaction will work for us."

They began what is known as an experiment.

A black thing crawled over. They selected a person, walked over and stood in front of the black thing, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I am here to pray for a child."

"Do you know that if you want to have a child, you should look for Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

"I don't know, am I looking in the wrong place? Impossible!"

The black thing turned into a ball of fire and burned everyone.

The person who hid was not burned to death. After the black flame flew away, he quietly emerged and continued to block the way. He saw a new black object.

They picked a second person.

The man walked over, blocked the road, looked at the black object and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Pray for a child."

"Do you know that you should seek help from Guanyin Bodhisattva if you want to have a child?"

"I also know that if you want to have a child, you should look for Guizimu. Can you find her? Or have you already found her?"

"no."

"Then it's over. Get out of the way."

the black thing yelled.

The second person was shocked, but refused to move away and continued to ask: "Do you know that having a son requires scientific basis?"

“Bullshit!”

The black thing once again turned into a ball of black flame, which chased after people, roasted them, swallowed them up, burned them to death, and then flew away happily.

The third person was pushed out, and it took a while before a black thing slowly climbed up, dropping debris as it moved forward.

Looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

The third person simply sat on the road and asked, "Do you know what happened here?"

The black thing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you know? No, what do you want to know?"

The third person saw that it didn't look like it was going crazy, so he hesitated and said, "Can you tell me the story of the mountaintop here in the past?"

The black thing was silent for a long time. The third person thought it was dead. Suddenly it spoke: "I know, I can tell you, but on what basis? What can you give me?"

The third person thought for a moment and took out a Mori*Wan*Organizing*watch: "If you like it, I can give it to you as a reward for the transaction. What do you think?"

The black thing swallowed the watch and nodded: "Okay."

The third person blinked and asked, "Can we talk now?"

The black thing murmured, "Then I will tell you a story.

A long time ago, the scenery on the top of the mountain here was very beautiful. Because it looked so beautiful, some people thought it was a suitable place to live and moved their families here. One person could not live here, so a group of people came to live here. As a result, a group of foreigners suddenly appeared on the mountain. They lived there and usually did not come down. They were almost self-sufficient.

They are having a great time.

It seems like life can go on like this.

Suddenly one day, a huge black fire fell from the sky and burned the ground into a dark, sunken pit. It was empty inside. There was no one, no corpse, no house, no livestock, nothing.

The once living people turned into livestock, and then into ghosts. They wandered around all day long, looking for their homes, but they could never find them. No one dared to come up again. They all said that this place was punished by heaven and people were not allowed to live here. So, this place became a forbidden area. Until one day, the wind and rain came, and a great flood occurred below. The flood forced the people living at the foot of the mountain to find a way out.

They could not leave their living place quickly, and because of hesitation they delayed their time. With no way to go anywhere else, they could only go to the mountains to avoid the flood. They lived here for a while, and then thunder fell from the sky and they died again.

The person who escaped thought he had escaped the pursuit of fate, breathed a sigh of relief, and lived somewhere else farther away, intending never to come back. The ghost on the top of the mountain found him, and he had to go back again, and then he died here and became a new ghost.

Because he was the last one to die, he could wander around and go down the mountain to collect more corpses, so more ghosts could come down the mountain.

A famous wandering monk passed by here and heard that many people had died on the top of the mountain. He didn't know many things about this place, so he found an even more famous monk and came here together, trying to chant sutras to help the souls to be reborn. As a result, of course, they both died here together. The bodies did not decay, so they were worn by ghosts as clothes and taken down the mountain.

They became even more reckless and thought themselves invincible. They committed many evil deeds at the foot of the mountain, and the terror on the mountain became even more severe.

Until one day, a large group of monks came and subdued these ghosts, asking them to repent sincerely, and built a Buddhist temple here. The incense was very prosperous. When the movement to eliminate Buddhism came, the Buddhist temple was gone, and a Taoist temple was built. The emperor asked the Taoists to make elixirs, and the Taoists dug a hole in the mountain to make elixirs. "
