I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 289 - 253 Zhang Sheng

Worshipping a deity, then becoming a Golden Core Family?

Elder Ran had not lost his mind; how could he possibly believe the temple priest's nonsense?

"Perhaps there is such a possibility, but that is a matter for a thousand years later. Daoist Wu, with the way that you are killing people with the Walking Corpse, do you think the people of Huilong Village can survive until then?

Moreover, with such a good thing, why don't your Wu Family worship the Walking Corpse yourselves? With one Wuliang God and one Gongming God, it's not impossible for the Wu Family to transform from a Golden Core Family to a Nascent Soul Family."

No sooner had Elder Ran finished speaking than Tian Lin suddenly said, "Not good, the Peace Incense has changed!"

With his words, both the temple priest and Elder Ran looked towards the incense burner.

They saw that of the three sticks of incense on the burner, the two on the left had grown longer, while the one on the right had started to shorten.

The Peace Incense becoming life-claiming incense was a clear sign that the Walking Corpse was about to emerge from the coffin.

"What on earth is happening today?"

As the temple priest spoke, he gritted his teeth and took out two coffin nails from his Storage Bag.

He nailed the coffin nails into the front and back of the palanquin, but there was no movement from the nailed shut palanquin.

The temple priest was puzzled, turning his head to look at Elder Ran and Tian Lin.

But at this moment in the temple, where were the figures of Elder Ran and Tian Lin?

The temple priest's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the incense burner.

He saw that the life-claiming incense in the burner was about to burn out, then looked towards the palanquin containing the Walking Corpse.

The palanquin was extremely stable, the iron chains binding it unmoved; the talisman paper attached to the outside was also intact. And the coffin nails that had nailed the palanquin shut showed no signs of loosening.

"This evil is not coming from inside the palanquin, but from outside of it. Could it be?"

The temple priest seemed to think of something and hastily looked outside the house.

There should have been some morning light outside by now, but it had turned into an endless night.

A gust of wind blew into the house from outside, directly extinguishing the candles in front of the altar, followed by a hoarse voice asking, "Zhang Sheng, I smell you."

The temple priest felt a chill in his heart and reached for his chest.

With this touch, indeed, he touched a gaping hole in his chest.

His hand went through the hole in his chest, rummaged inside his chest cavity, and sure enough, he couldn't find his heart.

"Indeed, my heart has been stolen."

The temple priest said this, then immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

"Zhang Sheng, come out quickly!"

The hoarse voice left the broken temple and began to echo everywhere in Gongming Village.

In Elder Ran's house, both Elder Ran and Tian Lin had put on mourning clothes and were lying in a black coffin.

The mourning clothes removed the aura of the living from their bodies, and the black coffin isolated the inside of the house from the outside.

But even so, they still felt a lack of security.

"Zhang Sheng, why don't you come out?"

The voice echoed in each room, accompanied by the sounds of doors opening and closing.

Finally, the hoarse voice echoed for a long time in Elder Ran's house.

Minutes and seconds passed, and it was unclear how much time had gone by.

Then, the hoarse voice calling for 'Zhang Sheng' eventually disappeared.

It was at this time that Elder Ran in the black coffin held Peace Incense in his hand.

The Peace Incense burned slowly and showed no signs of turning into life-claiming incense.

He then patted Tian Lin's shoulder and left the black coffin one after the other.

Once out of the black coffin, Elder Ran cried, "Tian, my Huilong Village had hundreds of inhabitants, from the living to the dead; not one survived. All had their hearts scooped out by the Evil God!"

Not that he needed to say this, because Tian Lin's Spiritual Sense had already surveyed the current situation in Gongming Village.

Not only had all the villagers of Huilong Village perished, but even the temple priest of the Wu family died tragically in the Gongming Temple.

"Elder Ran, tell me, who did this atrocity? I think, it's unlikely to be that Walking Corpse!"

Grinding his teeth, Elder Ran said, "What else is there to say? Apart from the Wuliang God, are there any other Evil Spirits in Wuliang Mountain? Tian, I swear to exterminate this Evil God for revenge."

After finishing his words, he strode out of the house.

But after walking more than fifty steps, his mind, clouded by hatred, gradually cooled down.

He turned around and asked Tian Lin, "Tian, why don't we join forces and eliminate this Evil Spirit together?"

Are you kidding?

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "If Elder Ran is not afraid of death, then please do as you wish."

Elder Ran knew too that 'revenge' was just an emotional outburst.

But with his clan members slaughtered, how could he stand by and watch? Moreover, if it's his clan members this time, it would likely be his turn next.

"Elder Ran, let's go find the Wu family and demand justice from them."

Tian Lin shook his head and said,

"If the Wu family had the means, their old Clan Leader wouldn't have died at the hands of the Wuliang God. I think, just like you, they are only allowed to go out for a few days in their entire lives due to their Tribute to the Wuliang God. The rest of the time, they can only perform rituals to the Wuliang God in Wuliang Mountain."

This suspicion was not without reason, similar to how Elder Ran paid Tribute to the Gongming God.

According to the temple priest of the Wu family, after they paid Tribute to the Gongming God, they had to perform a minor ritual in the temple every ten days and a grand ritual every year, which they absolutely couldn't miss.

The Wu family in Wuliang Mountain was likely restricted in their freedom by such a curse.

This is to say, the Wu family in Wuliang Mountain were livestock bred by the Wuliang God.

And the villagers of Huilong Village were like dogs raised by the Wu family to be offered to the Gongming God.

"So instead of seeking help from the Wu family who can hardly protect themselves, it might be better to seek the assistance of the elders of the Xiangxi Sect."

"But the Xiangxi Sect is extremely far from here, and the elders of the Xiangxi Sect rarely leave the sect. How could we ask them for help?"

Elder Ran looked at Tian Lin, "Tian, do you have any ways?"

Tian Lin was no longer planning to stay in Gongming Village; this wretched place was truly dangerous. Twice in succession, he had narrowly escaped death, especially this time facing the Wuliang God. If not for the mourning clothes and the black coffin, he was afraid he would already be dead.

"I think the Wu family can't contain this Wuliang God, and it will sooner or later become a serious threat in the land of mass burial. The Xiangxi Sect would certainly not ignore this."

Tian Lin said, "Do you still remember what the Wuliang God said, Elder Ran? He seemed to be searching for Zhang Sheng."

Elder Ran wiped away his tears and also furrowed his brow.

They were not unfamiliar with the name Zhang Sheng. In Lady Qianshi's dream in Yu Family Village, they had heard of Zhang Sheng's reputation.

"If it really is him, then the temple priest of the Wu family might not have lied."

Both of them knew that Zhang Sheng had once killed a high monk from the Xiao Lei Yin Temple and used the monk's body to recreate Lady Qianshi.

The Zhang Sheng of that time, to say the least, had cultivation at the Golden Core Late Stage, and possibly even at the Nascent Soul Stage.

For such a person, saying that he could kill someone at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment while being in the Qi Refinement Realm, although surprising, was not impossible.

"Actually, instead of asking the elders of the Xiangxi Sect for help, it would be better for Tian to ask Nine-Life True Man—"

Hearing Elder Ran's words, Tian Lin waved his hand to interrupt,

"Elder Ran, have you forgotten the warning given by Nine-Life True Man last time? If I treat her as an enforcer, with her temper, wouldn't she break my arms on the spot?"
