Mushroom Man

Chapter 145 A prosperous future awaits Zhuge Liang.

As soon as this statement came out!
Wu De's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

Does this mean the high-ranking Buddhist monk wants to accept him into the Buddhist order?

My goodness!
As expected, Wu De, who survived such a calamity, is bound to have good fortune in the future!
The Wu family is now destroyed, and he has only been the young clan leader for a day before he is effectively dead.

Now that he has the opportunity to enter the Buddhist order, how could he let it go?

"Yes! This junior is willing!"

"I dream of becoming a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and dedicating myself to Buddhism."

"I don't know how I should address you, Master. I wish to be ordained as a novice monk under your tutelage."

Wu De nodded vigorously and immediately knelt down to kowtow.

Entering the Buddhist order is an incredibly rare and fortunate opportunity!

It should be noted that in the entire Zhaodi Town, only the former Abbot Shanren and Abbess Wen could be considered as people of the Buddhist Pure Land.

Even someone as powerful as Wu Xingzhe was merely a monk.

For ordinary people to enter the Buddhist order, they not only need to be of good character, but also need to have a good reputation and qualifications.

This shows just how difficult it is for ordinary people to enter the Buddhist order.

Now Wu De has this opportunity to enter the Buddhist order, and he is incredibly excited.

But at this moment...

The white-robed monk smiled faintly and spoke softly.

"Young friend, you've misunderstood."

"The religion you should worship is not Buddhism, but the holy religion that saves all living beings."

He said this with a calm and collected expression, standing with his hands behind his back.

"I am not a high-ranking Buddhist monk either."

"This body was just something I took off and wore when I met this person on the road who wanted to rush to the aid of Zhaodi Town."

"As for how to address me..."

"Young friend, you may call me... Zhuge Huowang."

Upon hearing this, Wu De's expression froze.

He opened his mouth, his voice trembling as if he wanted to say something.

However, before he could even speak, Zhuge Huowang grabbed him, stuffed him into his mouth, and instantly refined him!

Zhuge Huowang wiped his mouth, and with a swift movement, vanished without a trace.

……

the other side.

Inside a horse-drawn carriage.

Madam Jia and Sister Lian each held a box of gold and silver jewelry, their faces still showing signs of shock.

"Lian'er, we can't stay in Zhaodi Town any longer."

"It was my mistake to trust the wrong person. I shouldn't have put all my hopes on that lecherous monk."

With a face full of regret, Jia's mother comforted her younger sister Lian while urging the coachman to leave Zhaodi Town as soon as possible.

"Mother, how can this be blamed on you?"

"No one expected such a huge change to happen at the Fertility Temple Fair, with even the abbot turning into a demon."

Lianmei hugged Jia Mama and gently comforted her.

Mrs. Jia's expression was complicated, and she sighed inwardly.

Abbot Shanren became a demon, and Sekong, whom she had entrusted with her life and fortune, naturally became a little demon as well.

The town of Zhaodi is now in chaos, with the enraged people and mushroom masters purging all those who colluded with the abbot.

Because of their attachment to form and emptiness, the mother and daughter naturally could not escape their fate.

If that lecherous monk hadn't mentioned to her in bed that there might be chaos in Zhaodi Town one day, and hadn't told her to prepare a carriage just in case, she wouldn't have been in trouble.

Without that reminder, this mother and daughter, already burdened with misfortune, would likely have been raped and murdered by that mob, then raped and murdered again...

"Mother! Look outside, there seems to be someone lying there."

suddenly!

Through the carriage curtain, Lian seemed to have noticed something and quickly spoke up.

Someone is lying down?

When Jia's mother came to her senses, she couldn't help but curiously lean over and look outside.

At that very moment, the carriage arrived at the banks of the Cimu River.

Sure enough, a person was lying on the overgrown bank.

"This is……"

Madam Jia felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, but after taking a closer look, she was immediately shocked.

"Stop the car! Stop the car immediately!" "Lian'er, hurry and save him! That's the young patriarch of the Yan family!"

……

cold.

It's very cold.

It was icy cold.

Wu Liang, whose body was enveloped in a seven-colored glow, tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids were unusually heavy and he couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried.

He didn't even know if he was dreaming or already awake.

He could only vaguely sense that he was sinking into the water.

Slippery things kept brushing against my body.

"I am..."

Although Wu Liang was unable to open his eyes, he was still relatively conscious.

He recalled that after he realized his true self, he activated the Formless Command for some unknown reason.

Then, the seven-colored rays of light bursting forth from the Formless Order triggered extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

The Heavenly Venerable Wuxiang manifested himself and proclaimed to the world, uttering those astonishing words that remain vivid in our memories to this day.

Later, it seems that he used the Formless Decree to mobilize the remaining seven-colored light in the world and directly killed the Blood River Ancestor.

So to say……

Thinking about this, Wu Liang gradually realized his current situation.

If he is not mistaken, he should be sinking into the Mother River by now.

Then those slippery things around us must be the fish swimming in the Cimu River.

At the same time, just as Wu Liang was having these thoughts, his body was swept up by a dense swarm of fish.

Unable to move, Wu Liang could only let himself be swept away by these swimming fish and carried to the deepest part of the Cimu River.

Perhaps it was because Wu Liang was enveloped in the glow of the sunset that he did not suffocate even when he was underwater.

Therefore, he still has the leisure to think calmly.

"At this critical juncture, if I remember correctly, it should be the time when the fish give birth and set off to return home."

"In other words, if I can be continuously swept along by these swimming fish, I might end up heading towards..."

A flash of inspiration struck Wu Liang, reminding him of the secret of the Mother-Child River that Jian Shouqing had previously revealed.

It was mentioned that every year, the fish from Youzi River would come to Cimu River through underground river caves to reproduce and thrive.

"Ah……"

"I never imagined that I would leave Zhaodi Town in this way."

"But this is for the best, as few people know about the secrets of the Zimu River."

"It's possible that I'm the only one who knows that the Youzi River and the Cimu River are connected."

"If I can use this to get to the Youzi River, at least the people of the world won't find me so quickly."

Wu Liang's mind raced, but he gradually calmed down.

As the saying goes, make the best of it.

Since there's nothing we can do right now, instead of wasting our time, we might as well leave it to fate.

He had not forgotten what the Formless Celestial Venerable had proclaimed to the world.

Wu Liang was quite certain that at this very moment, people all over the world were probably searching for his whereabouts.

However, no matter how they thought about it, they could never have imagined that the successor of the Formless Sect they were looking for was now being carried back home by a school of fish.

As Wu Liang relaxed, his consciousness gradually became drowsy in the process.

Before he knew it, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

As Wu Liang had anticipated, his body followed the fish into the underground river cave.

The underground river caves are interconnected and have surging undercurrents.

Beneath these turbulent undercurrents, Wu Liang and the fish darted swiftly through the river caves.

I don’t know how long has passed...

Cold, shaking.

Wu Liang felt dizzy and disoriented.

He could faintly hear two people talking.

"Brother, today is truly a lucky day! We can find money by the river just by going out!"

"Haha, isn't that right? This kid is fair-skinned and bald, like a monk."

"Perfect for selling to Madam Red, I heard that slut has a thing for this!"
