Chapter 52: Evil Beggar. The Life-Gathering Sect

Song Wuji lit the torch. The lard jar was damaged when the pig monster was killed. Now it was a rosin torch, but the fire-starting technique was the same.

When you enter the main hall of the charity cemetery, you can smell a mixture of rotten wood, incense ash and corpse odor.

Coffins are displayed on benches. It is said that coffins cannot touch the ground, as the ground is where the body is buried. The body will come into contact with the earth's energy and may undergo a transformation. In ancient times, people emphasized burying the body in peace and could not be buried in a foreign land, so the coffins were suspended in the air before burial.

However, these coffins seemed to be very old, with the paint peeling off and some even covered with moss.

Song Wuji said to Lu Han, "Master Lu, if your Heart-Confusing Song can control zombies, then the walking corpses are also good."

"Wouldn't that be a crooked path?" Lu Han watched carefully: "Why isn't there the beggar Huang Sandian mentioned? Is he trying to trick us?"

Song Wuji pointed to the inside of the charity cemetery and said, "The charity cemetery is divided into inner and outer areas. The outer area is for guests to stay, and the inner area is for the living. I heard that corpse drivers often stay here..."

Lu Han said, "Those are just tricks used by salt smugglers, but there are indeed some charity cemeteries where widows, widowers, and orphans guard corpses."

Although these coffins looked scary, with a bowl of incense in front of each coffin, there was no startling or zombie activity.

After passing through the lobby of the charity cemetery, I saw three beggars sitting around a campfire.

These three beggars, one of them was lame and had a green dog-beating stick beside him.

One of them had sunken eyes without eyeballs, and was followed by two Shar-Pei dogs.

One of them had both hands missing and a poisonous snake hanging from his neck.

[Evil Beggar. Elder of Transmission of Power]
[Evil Beggar. Elder of Dharma Teaching]
[Evil Beggar. Law Enforcement Elder]
As soon as Song Wuji and Lu Han entered, the three beggars looked over and asked, "Who are you? How dare you break into the Caisheng Sect's headquarters?"

The Gate of Life?
Song Wuji thought of a word, "cai sheng zhe ge", which originally meant the lowest of the lowest classes. Then he looked at the names of these three beggars, and found that they were evil beggars.

However, these three beggars have famous names and are actually elders, so I’m afraid they are quite powerful.

Lu Han couldn't see these things, but he was a man of great integrity and good at reading qi. He saw that these beggars were not good people, but he still said, "We heard that we can learn a stick technique here, so we brought gifts to learn the technique."

"Yes, yes, the dog-beating stick technique!" Song Wuji took out the [Five-Spice Roasted Dog Leg]

The three beggars' hostility instantly disappeared when they saw the dog legs. The lame beggar accepted the two dog legs and said, "So you received the news in advance that my Caisheng Sect is recruiting disciples."

The lame beggar was the elder who was teaching the skills. He said, "Although you already knew my preferences, our Caisheng Sect doesn't accept just any disciple. We only accept those with disabilities. If you are healthy, you must mutilate yourself, either by cutting off your hands or feet, gouging out your eyes, piercing your deafness... or burning yourself, biting your tongue, or castrating yourself..."

"What kind of disability does Huang Sandian have?" Song Wuji asked.

"So it was that useless Huang Sandian who introduced you here. Huang Sandian is a eunuch, a disabled person among the disabled, and is qualified to join our Caisheng Sect."

"You two are both handsome and have good temperaments. Originally, my Beggars' Sect's Caisheng Sect would not accept such disciples, but since you have accepted me as a disciple and paid me tribute, I will reluctantly help you. Which part of you do you choose to be injured in? I will help you with that as well."

Lu Han and Song Wuji only felt an extremely strong aura of oppression. This beggar was definitely more than the ninth rank!

"Senior! Senior!" Song Wuji knew he couldn't confront them directly. These three evil beggars were very ruthless, so he repeatedly stopped them and took out the fresh meat pancake: "We are just here to ask! Would you like to eat this?"

"I'm sending away beggars!" The elder who teaches martial arts knocked Song Wuji's pancake away with a dog-beating stick. "The more handsome you are, the more pitiful you will be if you become disabled, and the more money you can get! Let me break your arms and legs, leaving only your pretty face, and make you a vase boy! I guarantee someone will like you!"

Song Wuji saw a stick coming and had no way to dodge it! He was hit twice, and suddenly his right foot and left hand were strangely bent and broken!

"Okay, okay! You can enter my life-gathering gate!"

Lu Han shouted angrily, "Evil beggar! Haven't you heard that your body and hair are given by your parents, how can you easily damage them?"

The elder who was passing on the skills looked at Lu Han, his eyes gleaming. "You have achieved great success and are righteous... what bad luck! You are a Confucianist among the three great religions. We should not interfere with each other. If you take his life, you will be in trouble!"

At this time, Song Wuji's hands and feet had recovered miraculously. He had just used his magical power of eating to eat two fresh meat buns, and then practiced the Kitchen God's mental method to restore his life and recover from his negative state.

Even if it was a fracture, it was actually just a "minor injury", but the pain was still there, making Song Wuji curse!
"Huh? It's done?" The elder who was teaching the skills was surprised, but what greeted him was a stove fire.

"This kid was taught by the Kitchen God!" After putting out the stove fire, the elder who was teaching the skills looked at Song Wuji again and changed his expression: "We are also from the lower nine classes, and you come to learn the skills of my Beggar Sect?"

"We beggars worship the God of Poverty, but you, the Kitchen God, worship the Kitchen Lord. Every year at the end of the year, the common people drive away the God of Poverty and welcome the Kitchen Lord. While the rich feast and indulge in wine, there are people freezing to death on the streets. Alas!"

The Dharma-Transmitting Elder said, "Brother, I've already told you that we in the Caisheng Sect must be careful about spreading the Dharma and must not act rashly..."

The law enforcement elder said, "No problem, no problem! Let me use the animal creation technique to turn them into two big fat dogs!"

Song Wuji secretly said that it was not good, but Lu Han had already used his righteous energy.

But the big snake hanging on the law enforcement elder's neck had turned into two arms, and with a piece of dog skin, he rubbed Song Wuji into a big black dog and Lu Han into a big white dog.

"Go! Go! Go!"

The dog-beating stick hit them, forcing them to flee in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Song Wuji did not have to wait until he drank salt water to break the curse. After he left the charity cemetery, the stove fire burned from the inside out, burning the dog skin and restoring his human form.

Then he burned through Lu Han's dog skin.

Lu Han's face was already gloomy: "How can I bear such a great humiliation!"

Song Wuji also felt that it was unbearable, but said: "This evil beggar from the Caisheng Sect has strong means and acts viciously, but it seems that there are some rules in his actions. For example, when accepting disciples, it is clearly stated that only the disabled will be accepted. Normal people have to become disciples and even have to be crippled. We may not need these skills to cripple ourselves, but the already disabled people can indeed gain strength from them."

Although Song Wuji was also very unhappy with these three beggars, the current situation was that these beggars were not the biggest threat.

"Thank goodness I'm quite good at recovering. Teacher Lu, your status as a Juren is quite impressive... They're intimidated by it... The lower nine classes... The lower nine classes... I think it refers to all menial occupations, and there are also nine specific categories. This "Cai Sheng Men" corresponds to beggars."

"I correspond to the cook, so he calls me one of the lowest nine classes. Teacher Lu, you correspond to the Juren, and they say you are a Confucian among the three upper religions..."
