Chapter 4 Aunt Lan Knocks on the Door at Night



4. Aunt Lan knocks on the door at night

After thinking about it, I allocated 10 kill points to the Thunderfire Heart Sutra and 10 points to the Gentleman's Blade!

In an instant, the Thunderfire Heart Technique was upgraded to the first level. He instantly felt the Qi within his body, with a faint current and a flame temperature circulating within him, tempering his entire body. There was no discomfort, numbness, or burning sensation; on the contrary, it felt very comfortable and at his command!

Holding the blade, I imbued it with my inner energy. Instantly, I felt a barely perceptible electric current and flame on the blade. The blade turned slightly red, and the Gentleman's Blade displayed the first level of sturdiness and sharpness. Although it was only the first level, it seemed to have gained a trace of sentience!

In this world, divine weapons and treasures, with abundant spiritual energy and a stroke of divine opportunity, may give birth to a trace of spirituality!

In an instant, he realized that if this sword were to attack an enemy, the electric current and flames from the blade would also strike the enemy. Moreover, the true energy would enter the enemy's body along with the blade, causing the enemy to suffer from paralysis and the pain of being burned by flames!

Furthermore, the lightning and flames have been enhanced, and they can now produce a burning lightning strike effect! This can instantly annihilate enemies!

I was just about to test it out to see how it went when suddenly, a hunger even greater than upgrading my swordsmanship surged from my stomach. 'I need to eat! Eat, eat, eat!'

At this moment, he quickly put the ginseng in his mouth and chewed on it. Perhaps because his whole body had been strengthened, his teeth now felt like steel. Although it was dried ginseng, he could just bite into it and swallow it as easily as chewing a cake or soy milk!

Then it is immediately absorbed by the body, and the feeling of hunger is much better!

[Kill Points increased by 0]

The fact that no kill points were added suggests that the effects of the ginseng were absorbed by the body's cells.

From now on, ginseng and other spiritual fruits cannot be used to add killing points. They should be saved for adding points to upgrade sword techniques and mental cultivation!

The cultivation technique has only been upgraded by one level, but at this moment I feel that all five senses and attributes have increased by a little!

Then we finished off all the remaining beef and other dishes in the stove! It felt so good to be full!

It's midnight outside now, the weather is getting colder, and it's even quieter!

However, He Chen did not feel any cold at this moment. A trace of thunder and fire energy flowed through his body, making him feel warm all over!

Ordinary martial artists first refine their qi and blood, and then gradually hone their qi sense, releasing their spiritual energy to manifest various wind, rain, thunder, lightning, fire, sword qi, saber qi, and so on to attack their opponents!

Then they dragged the village bully, the village head, and the other five people together, and wrapped the two sacks of rice and flour, some cured meat, and pickled duck meat, and other valuables in the village head's house in a blanket and moved them all outside. They couldn't waste anything!

A torch was lit! Looking at the blazing flames, and holding the food from the sack—which weighed nearly 200 pounds—a load that would exhaust a modern person to carry, yet felt as light as a feather in their hands!

He Chen now is not the same He Chen as before.

turn out to be! !

Killing people also adds kill points, and a lot of them!

I wonder how many kill points other masters, demons, monsters, gods, and Buddhas have!

To survive, one must abandon all moral principles, righteousness, and shame! Without a ruthless heart, one cannot live!

I won't kill indiscriminately, because that would disturb the spiritual awareness deep within my heart!

Those who are utterly wicked and evil deserve to die! Brokers, matchmakers, and those who commit adultery deserve to die! Those who prey on their neighbors deserve to die!

Killing requires a reason, but I don't agree with the reasons given in this world. I'll use the standards from Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream to judge good and evil, life and death! A vast gate suddenly opened up before me.

The Divine Land, which conquered the world through military might, now prioritizes civil administration over military power, governs the world through law, with Confucianism at its head, and Taoism and Buddhism coexisting! What does this matter have to do with me!

In this borderland, the strong prey on the weak; only the strong have the right to pity and show mercy! Compassion and charity are the business of the powerful!

Flames soared behind him. He Chen carried a gentleman's knife at his waist and a full load of grain in his hands. He took a step and covered four zhang (approximately 10 meters) at a time, heading home!

Their keen senses told them that many villagers were spying from inside the houses, but no one came out to put out the fire.

Instead, he cursed inwardly, 'Good riddance! Good riddance! These damned beasts!'

He Chen was walking home quickly. When he passed by Aunt Lan's door, Aunt Lan's door was open and she was standing at the door, watching He Chen pass by!

He knelt before He Chen, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, benefactor, for helping me avenge myself! Thank you, benefactor, for helping me avenge myself!"

Looking at the scene before her, she had no choice but to remain silent; perhaps this would make her feel a little better.

He Chen placed a bag of grain at Lan Sao's door, then turned and left. He thought to himself, 'This is all I can do for you. Blame it on being born in this border region!'

Sister Lan looked at the sack in front of her, did not refuse, and dragged it into the house with great effort. When she opened it, she found grain!

Tears welled up instantly! After thinking for a while, looking at the sleeping child who was unaware of what had happened, I made a quick decision and dressed her up simply!

He Chen arrived home quickly. Along the way, many eyes secretly watched him, filled with gratitude, surprise, fear, and jealousy!

He Chen casually placed the grain, silver, and other items aside, and before he could even sit down and rest for a short while...

'Knock knock knock,' came the knocking at the door.

"It's me," came Aunt Lan's voice!

"Sister Lan, what brings you here so late?" He Chen asked, his senses now incredibly sharp, knowing that it was Sister Lan in person outside, not some ghost or demon trying to trick him into opening the door and then attack!

Some doubts lingered in my mind, but I still opened the door and looked at Aunt Lan, who was dressed up slightly. She still had her charm and must have been a beautiful woman before. However, she had taken over the household at a young age, so her appearance had changed a little!

"Thank you, Brother Shen, for avenging my deceased father," said Aunt Lan, who came in directly without standing outside the door.

"No need to thank me, I was only doing this for myself, and they won't let me off the hook! If there's nothing else, Aunt Lan, you should go back quickly, the children won't be frightened!" He Chen replied calmly.

"This is too much for Brother Shen. I am but a woman and have nothing to repay him with."

"I imagine Brother Shen must be hungry tonight. I'll cook him a meal," Sister Lan said softly, her face slightly flushed.

"Okay, Aunt Lan, go back as soon as you finish cooking!" He Chen agreed after a moment's thought.

As dawn broke, Aunt Lan hurriedly returned home!

He Chen woke up feeling refreshed. Looking at the breakfast that had already been prepared, he remembered that he had told Aunt Lan earlier to take some food back with her before she left!

He was not a pedantic person. Although he had attributes to rely on, the way he obtained his killing points was destined to be a path of life and death, and he could never avoid life and death!

Unreachable skyscrapers, endless pools of heroic blood, and countless heads of enemies! I don't know if it was Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi, but since I'm here, I also want to see the world's tallest buildings.

I want to catch a glimpse of that peerless beauty, and I also want the kill points from those who block my way. Besides, every time I add points, I get rare and precious materials and elixirs. How am I supposed to obtain them?

Was it a gift from someone else?
