Chapter 134: Resolution

~14 min read 2,745 words

"Wow, you've got to be kidding me, why is it buried here?"

Da Yanguang looked helpless; who would have thought that the remains of Liang Hui's past life were buried under a toilet.

Of course, when Zhang Xiong buried Tang Hui here, there was no underground casino; one could only say that this place was truly a "Three Decays and Seven Failures" pit. Tang Hui had no peace even after death, suffering for decades in his next life, and now his own remains were tainted by filth—it could be called tragic in the extreme.

That is why ordinary people treat these cultivators with such courtesy, fearing that offending them might lead to their own total destruction.

Therefore, cultivators place great importance on the temperament of the next generation, yet it is still inevitable that those with malicious intentions will appear; after all, people always change.

Especially for cultivators, who are flattered by mortals and lose their original intent to the temptations of the flashy world, or perhaps feel their strength is so great they have no scruples, leading to arrogant behavior—once they have tasted the sweetness, they can never go back.

In short, to enter the red dust to cultivate, only those who can persist in their original intent can enter the Dao; those who lose their original intent ultimately perish in body and soul.

Seeing this scene, Liang Hui was also in a difficult spot; he hurriedly asked, "What should we do now?"

Zhang Wei said in surprise, "What else can we do? Dig, of course; these are your remains."

Liang Hui said with some difficulty, "Look at this place, how am I supposed to dig?"

Zhang Wei waved his hands hurriedly and said, "That depends on your determination. In any case, it's your remains buried underneath, and the one having bad luck is you."

Liang Hui was still frowning, not knowing where to start, but Zhang Wei and the others left first, leaving only Da Yanguang and Liang Hui behind.

Da Yanguang spoke up to comfort him, "Better dig quickly; the sooner you dig them out, the sooner your luck will turn."

Seeing that the others were gone, Liang Hui complained, "You make it sound easy. It's so smelly and dirty, how am I supposed to start?"

Da Yanguang shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can be done? These are your remains, after all."

Liang Hui was also having a headache. He looked at Da Yanguang beside him and suddenly realized that in his past life, he had done this kid a great favor. If he didn't make him help now, when would he?

He immediately put on a smiling face and said happily, "Da Yanguang, hurry up and help me dig!"

Da Yanguang's expression changed, and he said very unpleasantly, "What? You want me to help too?"

Liang Hui glared and said loudly, "Of course! You promised your mom you'd help me. If you lie, your teeth will fall out—did you forget?"

Da Yanguang let out a wail, "This is too miserable!"

Liang Hui hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and dig together."

Liang Hui and Da Yanguang took action together, picking up hoes to dig. Within a few minutes, the top layer was cleared, and before long, they dug up a bone.

Liang Hui was overjoyed: "This must be the remains from my past life!"

The happy Liang Hui immediately went forward to rake away the dirt and take out the remains. However, there was a piece of red cloth next to the remains. Liang Hui was just worrying about having nothing to wrap the bones in, so he reached out and picked up the red cloth.

Little Furong, standing to the side, wanted to warn him but was too late. As soon as Liang Hui unfolded the red cloth, a puff of white smoke emerged, and from within the white smoke, a fierce ghost wearing red clothes rushed out.

Seeing the appearance of the fierce ghost, Little Furong screamed, "Senior Sister!"

Even though Little Furong was also in a soul state, she still felt fear when she saw Xiao Huixian.

Hearing Little Furong's cry, Xiao Huixian's face immediately became ferocious and vicious. She cursed angrily, "Little Furong, you little slut! I fed you, clothed you, and even taught you how to act—is this how you repay me!"

Xiao Huixian looked around and didn't see Little Furong's figure, but she saw Liang Hui standing to the side, and she instantly remembered the night she died!

Tang Hui! You heartless man!

Although Liang Hui was very down-and-out, his appearance was identical to Tang Hui's, and Xiao Huixian recognized him at a glance.

She let out a sharp cry and pounced on Liang Hui. Liang Hui couldn't dodge in time and had his throat gripped. She sneered, "Tang Hui, I didn't expect you to end up like this. If you had fulfilled my wishes earlier, you wouldn't be as down-and-out as you are today!"

"You scumbag, you actually killed me for that slut Little Furong. Today, I will kill you and make you accompany me for all eternity!"

"Audacious!"

Lin Chengying and Zhang Wei broke through the door and entered the small toilet, hurriedly shouting to stop Xiao Huixian's actions.

Seeing Zhang Wei and Lin Chengying, Xiao Huixian narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise you'll all die!"

Zhang Wei was greatly astonished and said, "Oh my, you've got a big mouth. Senior Brother Da Yi, please help me hold the line; I'll deal with this arrogant fierce ghost first!"

Lin Chengying hurriedly stopped Zhang Wei and whispered, "It's too dirty here. If she stirs up the filth on the ground to attack, it won't be good."

Seeing the mess on the ground, Zhang Wei also felt his scalp tingle. He replied softly, "Senior Brother, you go first; I'll think of a way."

Seeing that Liang Hui's face had turned the color of a pig's liver, Lin Chengying immediately retreated. Zhang Wei didn't dare to delay and directly took out a Divine Fire Talisman and a Wind-Controlling Talisman, throwing them out at the same time.

Xiao Huixian felt the danger of the two spiritual talismans; she hurriedly let go and floated directly out of the toilet.

The Divine Fire Talisman directly smashed through the toilet wall, while the Wind-Controlling Talisman blew the filth on the ground outside.

However, Liang Hui was unlucky and got quite a bit on him.

Liang Hui, who hadn't caught his breath yet, was almost choked to death by the stench, but Zhang Wei couldn't care about that. He hurriedly shouted, "Liang Hui, hurry up and dig up all your remains!"

After saying that, Zhang Wei rushed out of the toilet, where Xiao Huixian was fighting with Lin Chengying.

One could see Xiao Huixian extending her sharp claws to attack, with gusts of yin wind attacking Lin Chengying one after another.

Lin Chengying's footwork was agile, dodging Xiao Huixian's attacks repeatedly while thrusting his peach-wood sword, scattering much of Xiao Huixian's yin energy.

Zhang Wei silently drew his Seven-Star Copper Sword and attacked from behind Xiao Huixian. Unable to dodge, Xiao Huixian hurriedly gathered yin energy to block the sword.

But the Seven-Star Copper Sword did not hesitate in the slightest, piercing directly into Xiao Huixian's body. Xiao Huixian let out a painful scream, and then her soul scattered.

Seeing that her senior sister was dead, Little Furong finally dared to appear.

Zhang Wei clapped his hands and said, "Alright, the matter is resolved. Liang Hui, you won't have bad luck anymore. Also, Little Furong, I will take you to my grand-uncle-master; he will perform a ritual for you so you can be reincarnated early, and in your next life, you and Liang Hui can continue your predestined relationship."

Liang Hui and Little Furong looked at each other affectionately, their eyes filled with endless reluctance.

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, that's enough time for you to say goodbye."

Ignoring this pair of infatuated lovers, Zhang Wei looked at Lin Chengying and asked, "Senior Brother, why is my senior brother so angry at that Zhang Xiong that he actually wants to purge the sect?"

Lin Chengying said with some surprise, "Didn't Uncle-Master tell you?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't know anything. If Grand-Uncle-Master hadn't come looking for me, I wouldn't even know about this."

Lin Chengying immediately explained, "Zhang Xiong was on our side; he was originally sent to Hong Kong to open a Maoshan Daoist Hall, but there was no Hong Kong back then. Not long after Zhang Xiong arrived in Hong Kong, he changed his heart.

If Grand-Uncle-Master Duobao hadn't come to the door personally, we would still be kept in the dark. Later, Zhang Xiong's master pleaded for him, and Zhang Xiong was exiled to Taiwan.

Recently, isn't Hong Kong going to host some kind of convention for talented and strange people? Zhang Xiong was invited back to Hong Kong from Taiwan. This time, Zhang Xiong has committed many evils, so naturally, Uncle-Master wants to purge the sect."

Zhang Wei hadn't expected that there would be such a thing.

He nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It seems this Zhang Xiong is also courting death. Even if Uncle Feng and Uncle Bai couldn't resolve this matter, could he really escape the palm of our Grand Uncle-Master?"

Lin Chengying hurriedly asked, "I heard from the elders that Grand Uncle-Master Duobao has already attained immortality?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Not quite, immortality? Is immortality really that easy? However, Grand Uncle-Master's Daoist attainments are unfathomable."

Lin Chengying said with some anticipation, "I really want to pay a visit to Grand Uncle-Master, I'm just afraid of disturbing the old gentleman."

Zhang Wei waved his hand casually and said, "What disturbance? Tomorrow I'll take you to see him."

Lin Chengying said very happily, "Then I must thank you, Junior Martial Brother."

Zhang Wei made a gesture and said, "Small matter. I still have some face in Hong Kong. If you have any business, just come to me. I'm a probationary inspector now. How about it? Come join our Ghost Catching Unit and eat the imperial grain?"

Lin Chengying was a bit hesitant; he wavered and said, "I'll consider it."

The two of them hadn't chatted for long before Uncle Feng and Zhong Fabai returned.

Zhang Wei hurriedly ran over and asked, "Uncle Feng, Uncle Bai, how was it? Has that scoundrel Zhang Xiong been dealt with?"

Zhong Fabai said with some annoyance, "No, that brat runs really fast. By the time we chased after him, there were already foreigners protecting him."

"Hmph, that brat can run today but he can't run tomorrow. I'm going to find Grand Uncle-Master right now to finish him off!"

Lin Chengying hurriedly said, "Two Uncles, there is also the matter of this Xiao Furong that hasn't been resolved yet."

Zhong Fabai waved his hand and said, "Small matter, leave it to Grand Uncle-Master, it'll be settled immediately."

Uncle Feng also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, let's take the lantern and go see Grand Uncle-Master now."

When Liang Hui saw that Zhang Wei and the others were going to take Xiao Furong away, he was very reluctant and said, "Masters, may I follow along?"

Zhang Wei said with an indifferent face, "It's fine, you can follow if you want, just consider it a final farewell."

He wasn't worried at all about Liang Hui and Xiao Furong being unable to part; once Grand Uncle-Master began the transcendence, they wouldn't have time to say goodbye anyway—in short, it would be very fast.

At dawn, the group arrived at Lamma Island, only to happen upon Zhang Xiong being escorted by others. Seeing Zhang Xiong, Liang Hui was still so angry he gnashed his teeth.

Zhang Xiong saw that Liang Hui's fate had been altered, let out a cold snort, and said, "You're lucky to have met them. Let's wait and see."

Zhong Fabai shouted, "Zhang Xiong, don't be arrogant, brat. Don't think you'll have it easy this time; I will definitely purge the sect!"

Zhang Xiong said with a disdainful expression, "Wow, I'm so scared. Hong Kong is a place that speaks of the law now. You're threatening me like this? I'm going to call the police to arrest you!"

Zhong Fabai was furious but was stopped by Uncle Feng.

Da Yanguang shouted, "Zhang Xiong, don't be arrogant. I will find evidence of your crimes."

Zhang Xiong said fearlessly, "Suit yourselves. I think you're just throwing a tantrum out of incompetence. What can you actually do to me?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gust of wind blew past, followed immediately by the sound of a loud slap. Even with his Spirit Strike technique protecting his body, Zhang Xiong's defense was shattered by this blow.

Now, half of his face was swollen, blood flowed continuously from the corner of his mouth, and then Zhang Xiong spat out the blood in his mouth, followed by several teeth falling out.

Zhang Wei hurriedly picked up the teeth and looked around in terror; he had been struck by someone from the void before and had nearly died.

Seeing Zhang Xiong's miserable state, Zhang Wei laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Zhang Xiong, keep being arrogant! You dare to be arrogant on my Grand Uncle-Master's turf? You really are like an old man eating arsenic—you've lived long enough! Hahaha!"

The others also felt gratified and looked at Zhang Xiong with mockery.

Zhang Xiong no longer retorted and could only lower his head and hurry away.

Lin Chengying said with great surprise, "Was that really Grand Uncle-Master Duobao just now?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "That goes without saying. Let me tell you, Grand Uncle-Master has likely already attained immortality. If you speak ill of Grand Uncle-Master, he will give the back of your head a whack... Ouch!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly rubbed the back of his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, just like that! Ouch... I'm sure a bump was hit this time."

Uncle Feng laughed and said, "Deserve it for gossiping about Grand Uncle-Master."

"Alright, let's go see Grand Uncle-Master now."

Soon, they arrived at the Pagoda Building on Lingjiao Mountain. Just as they reached the entrance on the first floor, Zhang Sheng was already waiting.

Without waiting for them to say anything, Zhang Sheng reached out, and the human-skin lantern flew into his hand. Zhang Sheng performed a slight spell, the dharma seal on the lantern instantly lost its effect, and then, with a wave of his hand, Xiao Furong's figure instantly vanished.

Liang Hui said in a panic, "Xiao Furong! Where did Xiao Furong go!"

Zhang Sheng calmed Liang Hui down with a wave of his hand and said casually, "Stop shouting, I have already sent her to reincarnation. Rest assured, you will meet again in the next life."

Zhang Wei hurriedly comforted him, "Unlucky Hui, don't worry. What my Grand Uncle-Master says is like heavenly fate; if he says you will meet in the next life, you will definitely meet."

Zhang Sheng said with a straight face, "Alright, the matter is resolved, you all should leave quickly. Lamma Island hasn't been peaceful lately, so don't get involved."

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Grand Uncle-Master, I can't; I'm still on duty there. How about you give me a few dharma treasures to protect myself?"

Zhang Sheng waved his hand immediately, and by the time Zhang Wei and the others reacted, they were already at the foot of the mountain. Lin Chengying said in surprise, "Grand Uncle-Master Duobao truly has great means. I think you were right, Junior Martial Brother; Grand Uncle-Master Duobao has likely become an immortal."

Uncle Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's discuss this later. Since Grand Uncle-Master said Lamma Island hasn't been peaceful lately, let's not stay here long."

With Uncle Feng having spoken, Zhong Fabai didn't say anything more.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "Uncle Feng, then I won't see you off."

Zhong Fabai nodded and said, "Just be careful yourself."

Afterward, the group parted ways. Zhang Wei took Jin Maiji and the others back to the camp at Shenfeng Cave, but he noticed that things seemed a bit off over at Shenfeng Cave.

He said suspiciously, "Jin Maiji, look quickly, has the guard over at Shenfeng Cave been changed?"
