Mushroom Man

Chapter 111: Fate plays tricks on people, the abbot asks his conscience (please subscribe)
"Ha ha……"

"I'm just curious, not really that eager to know."

Upon hearing this, Wuxiang Yishi stopped asking further questions, instantly gave up his curiosity, and stopped transmitting the message.

"It seems that compared to that old bald donkey, this guy is more suitable to help me out of this predicament."

"Fairy mushroom..."

Wuxiang Yishi muttered to himself, and his tone was exactly the same as that of Abbot Shanren, also with a hint of greed.

"Senior Wuxiang?"

Wu Liang called out silently several times in his heart, but got no response.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"Weird..."

"Why is it that whenever I mention the porcelain vase, the Wuxiang Will becomes evasive and even deliberately avoids the subject?"

"Why doesn't he want me to know what the porcelain bottle is used for?"

Wu Liang became more and more curious, but now was not the time to think about these things.

He took a deep breath and put the matter aside for the time being, turning his attention to Abbot Shanren and others.

"Congratulations, Abbot! You have such an opportunity! You are truly blessed by the Buddha and have great fortune..."

Patriarch Wang and Patriarch Yan were working diligently at this moment, bowing and congratulating Abbot Shanren.

They were insincere in their words, and there was a hint of fear on their faces.

"Ah……"

Abbot Shanren stood up, glanced at the two of them, and sneered.

As smart as he is, how could he not guess what these two people are thinking.

It's just that I'm afraid he will kill to silence the witness.

Of course, Abbot Shanren did have this idea.

These guys know too much and they really need to die, but not now.

Right now, Abbot Shanren still needs them. He needs to use these two fourth-turn mushroom masters to help him conquer the inheritance.

Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, it would be difficult for him to obtain the Wuxiang inheritance in a short period of time.

And he had caused such a big commotion, which would definitely cause the Buddhists to send people early.

Therefore, he had to make the best use of everything, rely on the power of this group of people, and do everything he could to get the Wuxiang inheritance before the Buddhists came.

"Patriarch Wang, Patriarch Yan, I know what you are worried about."

"Don't worry..."

"As long as you help me and get something, I will keep my promise and give you a way out and cure the mushroom poison in your body."

Abbot Shanren looked at the two of them with a half-smile and spoke lightly.

"Did the abbot also plant mushroom poison on these guys?"

Wu Liang, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but move his eyes when he heard this.

"Get something?"

After hearing what the abbot said, Patriarch Wang and Patriarch Yan frowned.

They knew very well that the abbot was not a man of his word.

Choosing to believe the abbot was undoubtedly a foolish decision.

But at this point, they seem to have no other choice except to foolishly believe that the abbot can give them a way out.

Thinking of this, Patriarch Wang and Patriarch Yan could only put on a smug look and said with a wry smile, "Abbot, just tell us what you want us to help you get."

"As long as it's something the abbot wants, we will go through fire and water to get it for him."

Abbot Shanren nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this.

He raised his head, looked around, and spoke loudly.

"Senior Wuxiang, how are you?"

"After many years, I have made up my mind to inherit the Wuxiang legacy."

"But before that, I want to know where Senior Wuxiang placed the magpie's nest."

That's right!

What Abbot Shanren wanted to take was the mushroom house and the magpie's nest.

It goes without saying that his purpose in wanting to take over the Magpie's Nest was for Wu Liang.

Originally, the mushroom house and magpie's nest existed in the stone chamber of the name-stealing test.

But after Wu Liang started the inheritance and the nine-story bronze tower came into being, that place was buried.

However, being buried alone could not stop Abbot Shanren.

Afterwards, Abbot Shanren went to check it out in person.

Later he discovered that the magpie's nest in the stone chamber had disappeared for some unknown reason.

Only the formless will can move the magpie's nest.

Then Abbot Shanren asked this question.

After Abbot Shanren finished speaking, within a moment, Wuxiang Yizhi's low and majestic voice echoed in the room.

"Abbot, how are you?"

"I have waited for you for a long time, and you are finally willing to join my inheritance."

"The magpie's nest that stole the name from the Stone Chamber, and the false beast that deceived the world from the Stone Chamber, have all been recovered by me and brought back to the bronze tower."

"I've placed the evil beast on the third floor. The abbot has already experienced it. As for the magpie's nest..."

"I have placed it on the ninth floor. If the abbot wants it, he can come and get it in person."

The voice of Wuxiang Yi fell into everyone's ears, making everyone's expressions different.

Patriarch Yan and others did not know that Abbot Shanren was the first person to discover the Wuxiang inheritance.

Then, when they heard that Wuxiang Yishi and Abbot Shanren were so familiar with each other, they were all surprised.

"The ninth floor..."

Abbot Shanren glanced at Wu Liang and thought, this boy is lucky and can live a little longer.

Wu Liang felt the abbot's gaze and nodded with a forced smile.

Abbot Shanren snorted coldly and turned to look at Patriarch Yan and others.

"My son Sekong has a leg injury. You guys take him with you."

"Time waits for no one. No matter what, we must break through the nine-story bronze tower today."

After he finished speaking, he flung his monk robe and headed towards the mirror on the fifth floor. Clan leader Yan and the others were all fine with this and dared not say a word of objection.

But after all, they are fourth-level mushroom masters and the heads of the clan. Naturally, it is not their turn to take on Wu Liang's task.

"Xin'er..."

Patriarch Yan glanced at Yan Wuxin, and his meaning was self-evident.

Yan Wuxin didn't say anything, but just walked silently to Wu Liang and helped him up.

Wu Liang did not activate the anger mushroom to heal his injuries.

Then there were two holes on his legs pierced by golden light.

In this situation, even with Yan Moxin's support, he still couldn't walk, and instead grimaced in pain.

"I don't know whether I should call you Master Sekong or Brother Wu now..."

"No matter what, you and I are both prisoners now, and we are all on the same boat."

"Helping you is helping me. Come on up, I'll carry you."

Yan Wuxin spoke softly. Even though he had fallen to this point, he still looked elegant, easy-going and gentle.

"It's just a name."

"If Brother Yan is happy, I don't mind what you call me."

Wu Liang spoke with a smile, but he was not polite to him and let him carry him on his back.

Yan Wuxin is not a powerful mushroom master, and he does not have any modified mushrooms on his body.

After he carried Wu Liang on his back, he suddenly felt tired and sweat started to seep out of his forehead in a short while.

"Actually, I quite admire Brother Yan."

Wu Liang suddenly said this for no apparent reason.

Yan Wuxin raised his eyebrows, his attention inevitably drawn to it.

"If my guess is correct, the person who went up to the third floor earlier should be Brother Yan, right?"

"Whether it's my cultivation or my performance when the Yan family suddenly gave me the various mushroom recipes."

"It all goes to show that Brother Yan is the little mouse that Senior Wuxiang put on the third floor."

Wu Liang spoke to himself, with a certainty in his tone.

He smiled and changed the subject.

"Brother Yan had this opportunity. He should have been able to lead the Yan family to secretly attack the Nine-story Bronze Pagoda, obtain the Wuxiang inheritance, and soar to the sky."

"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on us..."

"The abbot's actions not only shattered the Yan family's dream of bringing glory to their ancestors, but also reduced the Yan family head and young head to prisoners without any control."

"Compared to me, who is already broke and alone, Brother Yan, who has experienced many ups and downs, is much more unlucky than me..."

"Brother, after going through so many ups and downs, you've still managed to maintain such a gentle and elegant demeanor. How can I not admire you?"

After Wu Liang's words, Yan Wuxin's face became even uglier.

"Brother Wu, what do you mean by this?"

"I haven't offended you, have I?"

"Brother Wu, why are you being sarcastic?"

Yan Wuxin's eyes turned cold and his tone was unfriendly.

He used to call him Master Sekong, but now he calls him Brother Wu.

"Nothing, just something I mentioned suddenly."

"If it offends you, I'll just shut up..."

Wu Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and closed his mouth indifferently.

At first glance, people who don’t know him might think he is provoking Yan Wuxin.

However, Yan Wuxin was a smart man and reacted quickly.

"This guy……"

Yan Wuxin's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

In his opinion, judging by the cunning and scheming Wu Liang had previously shown, he was definitely not the kind of person who would speak without purpose or make small talk.

Now he suddenly said such nonsense for no apparent reason, which must have a deep meaning.

"Could it be that this guy wants to make me hostile to the abbot?"

"He wants to win me over..."

Yan Wuxin made a bold guess, and the thought flashed through his mind.

At the same time, Abbot Shanren had already learned about this level of test through the evil beast.

"Reflecting people's hearts and wiping away the dust?"

"Interesting, really interesting."

"I really want to see how much dust has settled on my heart."

Abbot Shanren was very interested in this, so he stood in front of the mirror and asked the evil beast to activate the Heart Mirror Mushroom.

The evil beast chuckled and said, "It's okay."

The next moment, the mirror began to glow faintly.

Seeing this, Wu Liang and others looked over.

But a beating black heart suddenly came into view.

The human heart is originally red, but the abbot's heart has turned black because of too much dust.

The so-called dust is a person's obsession and delusion.

It is obvious that Abbot Shanren has far more obsessions and delusions than ordinary people.

Just at this moment, the black heart in the mirror actually uttered the voice of Abbot Shanren and began to speak.

"Become an immortal! I want to ascend to become an immortal!"

"Everyone's life span is limited, and I don't want to die!"

"Only by becoming an immortal can I have the opportunity to travel across the nine heavens and four continents in search of longevity mushrooms, and from then on live forever and become the best of the world."

"I was originally a casual cultivator, but I got a chance by chance. I took over the abbot's body just to get me one step closer to becoming an immortal."

"What does it matter if it's Buddhism or the devil? As long as I can reach the top of the mountain, it doesn't matter how many people I kill."

"What I want, no one can take away from me no matter what, and what I don't want, I won't give to others."

"Ning to teach me to bear the people of the world, and to quit teaching the people of the world to bear me!"
