God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

The candle flame went out with a snap.

Just as the room fell into darkness, the already fragile door seemed to be broken by something.

But in an instant.

The Fire Talisman Array is activated.

The raging flames made the scene as bright as day.

It was as if a scream was heard from the void and then disappeared in an instant.

Others couldn't hear it clearly, but Pei Daoye knew it was not an illusion.

He stood up quickly.

A powerful perception was emitted, but surprisingly no "strange" corpse was found.

"Could it be that Gui has no body?"

If you think back carefully.

The hallucinations I heard earlier really did make my heart beat faster.

Pei Daoye thought about it for a long time and then laughed out of anger: "After all, I am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, but I was actually frightened... If it was just this level of 'weirdness', I would be able to deal with it in the short term."

With the help of firelight.

He surveyed his surroundings.

However, the small house of more than ten square meters looks very shabby.

"Is this Zhuo Wushuang's home?"

This is not quite what he expected.

Since Zhuo Wushuang was able to stay in his world for a long time with his soul, it means he is very powerful... But the living environment now...

He really couldn't agree with that.

He found a palm-sized mirror, which was covered with dirt. After brushing off the dust with the towel beside him, he could see clearly how childish the face inside was.

In fact... he had already guessed the size of his palm.

"So this is Zhuo Wushuang's childhood?"

Pei Daoye fell into thinking.

Although it was the first time he had heard of "Reincarnation Bound Soul", he undoubtedly understood its logic.

In a sense, this was a life-and-death battle between him and "Zhuo Wushuang".

From Zhuo Wushuang's perspective, he definitely hopes that he will die, so that Zhuo Wushuang can replace him and survive completely in that world.

Therefore, if he could control the timing of "Reincarnation and Soul Binding", this would definitely be the most difficult experience.

The facts have also proven it.

This "experience" did not disappear just because this low-level monster was killed.

"I'm afraid there will be more tricks later. There's nothing to play with..."

Make sure the talisman array remains the same.

The scarred single door was still intact, with no signs of being broken.

The silence outside the door was like sinking into water; no other sound could be heard.

He wondered if the old lady who had reminded him earlier was okay?

But in this situation, he knew...

Don't go out rashly.

The darkness that silently swallowed everything was not ordinary, and it even made him feel palpitations.

"Could it be that darkness... is also a kind of weirdness?"

Pei Daoye continued to practice with many doubts.

……

Silent all night.

When the roosters crowed, Pei Daoye’s first thought was: There are still chickens?
Then there was a sound of human movement.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and it was the old lady's voice.

"...Xiao Wushuang?"

She shouted several times.

The man's voice came from behind: "Mom, stop shouting, that boy might be dead, stay away from this house to avoid being contaminated by bad luck."

Just as he said this, the door opened, and Pei Daoye's childish little face was now white and rosy after being washed, which was very different from before.

So much so that the man was stunned when he saw Pei Daoye appear.

"You...are you still alive?"

Pei Daoye ignored him and looked at the old lady.

The man suddenly reacted, took out a fire stick from the side, and looked at Pei Daoye vigilantly: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Tunan, don't do this!" The old lady turned her head and scolded.

Although the man put down the fire stick, he still looked over vigilantly.

Pei Daoye looked at the old lady: "Thank you for your reminder last night, I was able to save my life..."

"I'm glad you're okay." The old lady heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Pei Daoye was fine.

However, the young man next to him looked at Pei Daoye suspiciously for several times. When he followed the old lady away, although he lowered his voice, Pei Daoye still heard what he said...

"Mom, this kid is a little weird... There was such a big commotion last night, but he was fine..."

"Snapped!"

……

Pei Daoye looked back calmly.

He was just a little surprised... After the old lady came in, she turned hostile and slapped her own son.

Such a contrast undoubtedly explains some problems.

"Where are Zhuo Wushuang's parents?"

"As far as I can remember, his mother died during childbirth, and his father raised him alone. He went hunting more than a month ago and disappeared... As for Zhuo Wushuang, he had a serious illness a month ago, and therefore lost his memory. He only remembers the past month, and all the news about his parents came from Aunt Sun next door."

"Auntie Sun..."

Pei Daoye began to become alert, but he had not yet grasped the information here, so he did not rashly choose to rush over.

Close the door.

He called out to the ghost baby in his heart.

It was as if the deep sea that separated countless spaces suddenly began to ripple...

The power of the reincarnated bound spirit does involve some powerful rules, but the connection between him and the ghost baby is mediated by the settlement panel.

The space began to shake violently like the deep sea.

After a few seconds, there was a response.

[Sir, I am here]

"Can you come out?"

[I'll try...it seems I can't. But sir, although I can't travel through time, I can control the void I'm in.]

Pei Daoye's eyes lit up: "In other words, you just appeared here in a different way, and the people here can't sense you, but you can see them?"

[Yes, but the scope is limited. ]

"How wide is it?"

[It can almost cover this house and then... the next corner. ]

"That means a distance of more than ten meters is enough."

Pei Daoye immediately instructed it to secretly keep an eye on Aunt Sun who lived next door.

"Also, be careful in the dark. If you find anything, remember to tell me." [Yes, sir.]

……

Pei Daoye continued to practice, making his body strong enough to withstand the power of his Nascent Soul Realm, but it was obvious that he would not be able to recover to his strongest state in the short term.

This body has suffered from too many hidden diseases.

He began to review it carefully.

Zhuo Wushuang gave him the feeling that he was... very strong.

Even though he was only in the form of spirit, it at least showed that such a harsh environment could not produce a master like him.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

Your next-door neighbor may be the breaking point.

……

"Mom, could this kid have recovered his memory? Look at the way he looked at me this morning... something was clearly wrong."

In the dim room, the young man lowered his voice, his eyes were like two red dots, appearing particularly eerie in the dim light.

But the old lady ignored him and knelt devoutly on the mat, carefully wiping the porcelain statue in her hand over and over again.

"Mom, why don't we make plans early? We don't have enough fairy oil, how about we send it to you tonight? But strange creatures have been coming too frequently recently... Mom, I don't dare to go to the temple, can you go in my place?"

"The Queen will definitely bless you..."

Perhaps it was because of the mention of the Empress that some light appeared in the old woman's eyes. She twisted her neck stiffly and said in a stiff tone: "Something big happened recently, and the Empress may not be available. I told you to control the amount of fairy oil you use every day, but you just didn't listen. You must reduce the amount! Otherwise, those ghosts outside will no longer target him, but you..."

The young man shuddered and quickly stood up, as if he wanted to argue, but he was afraid of the porcelain statue in the old lady's hand...

Reason prevails.

Standing one meter away, he yelled, "Am I using more or you? I basically gave you the amount I exchanged for his mother, you old bastard..."

"You beast! Shut up! I'm your mother!" Green flames seemed to be coming out of the old lady's eyes.

The young man didn't dare to say anything more. He just muttered unconvincedly, "No one is telling us what happened. Everything was fine half a year ago. How come so many strange things suddenly appeared? Could it be that something happened to the queen?"

"Snapped!"

"Don't speak ill of the Queen!"

The old lady said viciously.

The young man covered his face and said aggrievedly, "What should we do now? There are only three days of fairy oil left, and I won't go to the temple until the end of the month. What should I do during this time? That kid should have died last night. Those ghosts are obviously more interested in him... But what happened... Do you want me to arrest him?"

He looked up.

The old lady was obviously tempted... "What if you alert the enemy? If this kid runs away, we will be completely out of food at the end of the month. The queen will blame us then. I can't bear to send you away to exchange for the fairy oil."

When he heard that she was going to give him away as a sacrifice, the young man got angry again. He wanted to say "old immortal" but he swallowed it back because of the green look in the old lady's eyes.

He turned his head away abruptly and was about to leave.

Just as he opened the door, he suddenly stood there motionless.

The light coming through the crack in the door fell at the feet of the old lady behind him. The dazzling light and the dark and weird room seemed to be incompatible.

"What are you doing again!"

Grandma was also a little angry.

She stood up and was about to walk over, but when she looked at her son, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground and almost dropped the porcelain statue in her hand.

In the twisted light where light and darkness melted away, she could see a long gash on the young man's brain, and a sword blade abruptly pierced through the skull... The brain matter mixed with blood was madly rushing outward!

Facing such a horrifying scene up close is even more shocking than the horror brought by the monster.

what happened?

Is this all an illusion?
And in the next moment.

The blood splashed out from the back of the young man's head when the sword was pulled back.

This time, the blood splattered on the old lady's body, soaking her clean clothes that had been washed so well into red.

"You! It's you!!!"

The old lady was stunned.

Looking at Pei Daoye who walked in with a sword in hand, her mind went blank.

I've probably thought of countless possibilities, but this is the only one I haven't thought of.

“Wu, Wushuang, how could you…how could you kill someone? He’s your brother Tiger! How could you kill him…you!”

The old lady pretended to be calm and started crying.

but--

Pei Daoye's mouth curled up into an arc.

next moment.

The long sword in his hand cut off the old woman's arm that was holding the porcelain bottle without any hesitation.

"Hey!"

The severed arm flew away, and blood splattered everywhere.

The pain came suddenly.

The old lady screamed heartbreakingly, "She's crazy! She's all crazy!"

"Grandma, where is the temple? Is the goddess you are worshipping a ghost or a human?"

The two questions Pei Daoye asked casually made the old lady break out in cold sweats instantly. Her pair of green and turbid old eyes stared over suddenly, somewhat horrified.

"How did you know?"

Pei Daoye ignored her question, closed the door, and said as he walked away: "You reminded me last night, did you mean to let me in? Let me guess, is it related to the oil lamp in the house? If I am killed by Gui, what can I bring to this oil lamp?"

The old lady's face was covered in cold sweat, and she kept backing away: "Wushuang, what are you talking about? I don't understand anything..."

"Actually, I can also finish you off with one sword, but I plan to give you one chance, Grandma, what do you think?"

Pei Daoye looked at him with a smile.

If you use the soul seal rashly, you may miss some information.

and so……

It would be better if she could take the initiative to speak up.

"Wushuang, what's wrong with you? Grandma..."

"Pfft!"

The other arm was chopped off instantly.

The old lady fell in a pool of blood.

When she looked over again, Pei Daoye's eyes were full of indifference: "Next time you talk nonsense, that's your head... Tell me everything you know, I have my own way of judging. In fact, you know the situation here, it is much more complicated than before... Why not find a way out for yourself? I'm not asking you to attack your queen."

The screams of the old lady with the broken arms gradually became quieter, and her eyes became even greener. She seemed to no longer pretend. However, with both of her arms cut off, she could not stand up easily for a while, and could only sit in a pool of blood, "staring" at Pei Daoye:
"Wushuang, it's Grandma who underestimated you. You actually have mastered some power, but... with just these, it's impossible for you to deal with them and avenge your parents..."

When she said this, she saw Pei Daoye suddenly pick up the sword with an impatient look on his face. She was so scared that she sped up her speech: "Of course, mother-in-law can tell you that the goddess is the god of the temple. We in this village all worship her to get protection... The weird creatures at night will eat away our bodies. Only the goddess can protect us. Don't trust the evil god by mistake."

"God? If he is really a god, why would he condescend to stay here?" Pei Daoye looked.

The old lady seemed to be strangled all of a sudden, and her expression began to become strangely angry. Just when she was about to become hysterical, Pei Daoye suddenly asked again: "What is fairy oil?"

“Fairy oil…” The old lady’s attention was diverted, and the pattern that had just appeared on her face faded away. She lowered her head and said, “The fairy oil was given by the empress. After lighting the candles every day, we can avoid being invaded by the ghosts outside at night.”

"So... where is the incense temple?"

"exist--"

The old lady stopped talking abruptly.

The patterns on his face emerged.

Pei Daoye was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he directly slapped a soul seal.
