Mushroom Man

Chapter 24: Putting the blame on Wu Liang, the mastermind behind the scenes

coming!

The main event is finally here!
Wu Liang remained calm, having already anticipated this scene.

He had long guessed that his original behavior would definitely arouse the suspicion of Abbot Shanren.

Although Abbot Shanren's name contains "Shanren", he is obviously not a good person.

He is a shrewd man who knows the conditions for unlocking the Wuxiang inheritance.

Then he would naturally suspect that there must be an unknown mastermind hidden among the people present at the time.

At that time, in front of the bronze gate, apart from him, "Sekong", there was only Wu Liang.

It is perfectly normal to suspect him.

"Dad, my son..."

Wu Liang pretended to be hesitant, as if he didn't know how to answer, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

His appearance immediately made the atmosphere in the Buddhist hall a little subtle.

Abbot Shanren still had a smile on his face and looked amiable.

But for some reason, it gives people a creepy feeling of oppression.

It was as if an invisible hand quietly strangled the breath of everyone present.

"It seems that the abbot really knows something..."

Nun Wen's eyes flickered as she pondered secretly in her heart.

She had not forgotten what the boy had said meaningfully before the bronze door...

"Didn't Abbot Shanren tell you?"

Now it seems that the abbot has most likely known about that place for a long time, and even knows clearly how to start the inheritance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the abbot specifically called Sekong over after questioning them about the situation at that time.

That's right!

Long before Wu Liang arrived, Abbot Shanren had already interrogated Master Wen and others.

Now calling 'Sekong' here, obviously to confirm something...

"Why? Your father is here, what are you afraid to say?"

Abbot Shanren spoke again, his tone still calm, without any hint of abnormality.

He even said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Could it be that you were the one who opened the Wuxiang inheritance?"

"Don't be afraid, it's no big deal. Your father doesn't blame you."

These words sounded tolerant and generous, as if no matter what Wu Liang did, he would not blame him.

However, Wu Liang sneered in his heart, thinking that Abbot Shanren's words were just for listening.

Anyone who really believes it is a fool!
Admitting that the inheritance has been opened is equivalent to admitting that one is not Sekong, but an existence that has completed the test of stealing the name.

Wu Liang knew this very well, so he naturally would not fall into the trap set by the abbot.

"Dad, it's actually nothing serious." He said casually, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"It's just that I wanted to hide it from the nun and the others and secretly take a good thing..."

Abbot Shanren frowned, stared at Wu Liang with a sharp gaze, and immediately asked questions, pressing forward step by step.

"What good stuff? Why are you hiding it from them?"

Wu Liang had already prepared his speech for this, so he looked calm and unhurried.

"To be honest, Dad, when I was imprisoned by that kid, I discovered that he had an extremely rare mushroom hidden on his body."

"That mushroom is at least rank five and can influence other people's cognition."

"It was because of that mushroom that the child turned into a woman in the eyes of others."

When Wu Liang said this, he glanced at Master Wen.

Nun Wen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "There is indeed something strange about that boy."

"Not only can he avoid the effects of the Confession Mushroom, he can also deceive my cognition."

"Thinking back carefully to what happened back then, if it were my nature, I would have to investigate that woman thoroughly."

Abbot Shanren was moved when he heard this.

This effect... is the deception mushroom. He had once been through the deception stone chamber, so he naturally knew about this thing.

Even now, there is a third-level fraud mushroom in his dantian.

However, even his third-level Deception Mushroom could not possibly affect Master Wen, let alone change her appearance in the eyes of others.

It seems that the fraud mushroom in that boy's hand is very likely a fifth-level ordinary mushroom!

But... that guy is just a first-level mushroom master, how could he possibly kill the mushroom beast 'Black' and obtain the fifth-level deception mushroom?
Abbot Shanren was full of doubts. If Master Wen and others had not been present, he would have had to find a young monk to think about it carefully.

At the same time, Wu Liang was still talking incessantly, telling the stories he had made up.

"When I heard it was a fifth-level mushroom, I became greedy."

He rubbed his hands together and gave a lewd smile.

"In our fertility temple, besides you, Dad, who else can have such a treasure?"

"What's more, it's a rank five mushroom that can be activated even at low rotation speeds."

"If this mushroom falls into the hands of a child, wouldn't it mean that any girl he wants to play with will be forced to obey him?"

Upon hearing this, Master Wen frowned and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Wu Xingzhe couldn't help but shook his head.

This kid, Sekong, is becoming more and more presumptuous. He even dares to say these things in front of Junior Sister Wen.

No wonder he wanted to hide it from us. It turned out that he wanted to use that mushroom to do such a dirty thing secretly.

"What about the mushrooms?" Abbot Shanren said with a blank expression and a cold tone.

He knew in his heart that a mushroom master, while conscious, could make the mushrooms self-destruct with just a thought.

Without special means, it is impossible to steal other people's mushrooms.

Obviously, he did not completely believe Wu Liang's words.

Wu Liang pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head with a wry smile.

“I didn’t get it…”

"Just when I was about to check the boy's dantian, something strange happened..."

He paused, then spoke up, "At that time, for some reason, the boy suddenly died and his body turned into a giant mushroom."

"Then, the child heard a voice coming from behind the bronze door."

"Something like, 'Congratulations to Wu Liang for telling such a huge lie and completing the double test of deceiving the world and stealing his reputation. I will, as promised, unlock the Wuxiang inheritance for you.'"

"Then, the entire ground began to shake violently. The child was so frightened that he only cared about running for his life and didn't care about anything else..."

Upon hearing this, Abbot Shanren slowly closed his eyes, and he understood in his heart.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that Wu Liang used some kind of mushroom that can fake his own death and escape?"

"If what Sekong said is true, I'm afraid that boy was not the real Wu Liang from the beginning."

"And all of this is just a trap set by a certain existence, the purpose of which is to complete the 'Test of Deception' and make everyone believe that Wu Liang has imprisoned Sekong."

"As for the real Wu Liang, I'm afraid he's long gone."

"Otherwise, how could a small figure like him possibly obtain a rank five deception mushroom?"

When Abbot Shanren thought of this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

First, a Soul Mushroom Master appeared and lured away Master Wen and Wu Xingzhe.

Then Wu Liang faked his death and escaped, starting the inheritance.

skillful!
What a coincidence!

When there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.

It seems that there is a strong force behind this matter.

The target of this force is the Wuxiang inheritance, which he regards as within his grasp!

Of course, everything he speculated at the moment was based on the premise that what Sekong said was true.

And he just happened to have asked Master Wen to activate the Words and Actions Mushroom in advance...

Abbot Shanren raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Master Wen.
