Mushroom Man

Chapter 29 Identity Exposed, Sekong? Wu Liang!

The sun is rising.

Wu Liang slowly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

"I didn't expect that I would spend a night in the bronze tower without realizing it."

He gently rubbed his slightly tired brows, a hint of fatigue in his expression.

In order to seize the initiative, Wu Liang immediately entered the Wuxiang inheritance after breaking through the second level.

Now, he has been awake for two consecutive nights.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed and fallen asleep.

However, Wu Liang couldn't sleep even if he wanted to because he still had a lot of things to do.

"If only I had the warrior's energy mushroom..."

"That way I can just give up sleeping and save more time for planning."

"By then, no matter how clever and ingenious old monsters like the abbot and Master Wen are, I will be able to close the gap with them by putting in more effort."

"At worst, I can think about something a thousand times. I don't believe that nothing can be accomplished." Wu Liang smiled self-deprecatingly.

“If a fool wants to succeed, he can only think more and do more.”

He shook his head and refined the epithet mushroom in his hand.

Wu Liang's mind moved, and he wanted to try it out, so he activated the appearance mushroom.

In a moment, the amount of true energy in the dantian dropped by more than 30%.

His face was unconsciously covered with a layer of false appearance.

This makes Wu Liang's appearance seem to be covered with a layer of blurry mosaic. No matter how hard you try, you cannot touch the truth hidden beneath the surface.

"Unfortunately, it's only the second level..."

"Even if its magical power is comparable to that of the third level, it cannot block Master Wen's detection like the Deception Mushroom."

Wu Liang sighed lightly, wiped his face casually, and cleared up the appearance.

However, as long as he can continue to break through the bronze tower, it should not be difficult to obtain the subsequent mushroom recipe of the appearance mushroom.

It's even possible that he could get the Fraud Mushroom again.

By then, the deception mushroom and the appearance mushroom will complement each other, and the wonderful effects will be unimaginable...

Just as Wu Liang was imagining the future, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Senior Brother Sekong, Master Wen wants to give you some guidance on your cultivation and asks you to come over immediately."

The messenger monk outside the door spoke respectfully.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Liang responded casually, understanding it in his heart.

It seems that Master Wen finally plans to have a good chat with him.

I just don't know whether this trip will bring good or bad luck...

Wu Liang took a deep breath, changed into a monk's robe, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

Since we cannot refuse, we will do our best and leave the rest to fate.

He wanted to see what Master Wen was planning.

About an incense stick later...

Several nuns led Wu Liang to a rather elegant Zen room.

There is a vigorous jujube tree in the yard, and a clear pond next to the tree.

Nun Wen was sitting under a tree, pouring tea and reviewing the recent case files in Zhaodi Town.

"Master Tai..."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, walked to the side, and spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Master Wen raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at Wu Liang indifferently.

She waved to the nuns around her.

"You all go down."

The nuns clasped their hands together and retreated.

In a blink of an eye, only Wu Liang and Master Wen were left in the courtyard.

Wu Liang pretended to be puzzled and said, "Master, you asked me to come here this time. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Nun Wen did not answer directly, but spoke to herself.

"The abbot has already left the temple and has discussed with the three clan leaders the cancellation of this year's Pudu Dharma Assembly so that they can focus on conquering the Wuxiang inheritance tomorrow."

"I don't think he will be back for a while, otherwise I really can't ask you to come over, lest the abbot would think too much."

As she spoke, she pulled out a stack of files from her sleeve and threw them on the table.

"Let's see……"

Nun Wen's tone was calm, yet it carried a certain air of unquestionable authority. "This is information I've been putting a lot of thought into recently, compiling based on a few clues."

Wu Liang frowned slightly when he heard this.

He heard a clue from Master Wen's words, and then picked up the file and examined it carefully.

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, the more you watch it, the more frightened you will be!

The file records in detail all the clues revealed when he was Wu Liang.

Such as...

He once spent a lot of money to order cypress wood in the town and built the coffin privately instead of going to the coffin shop to choose the finished product directly.

On the eve of leaving town, I bought the Relic Mushroom and the Face-Changing Mushroom at the market.

I picked out some wine mushrooms and fetal mushrooms at Wu's house, probably wanting to cultivate my qi...

What surprised Wu Liang even more was that the file also recorded the various problems that were exposed after he replaced Sekong.

Facing the abbot's questioning, he fabricated lies...

What a coincidence, I suddenly had the same aura as Wu Liangxiu...

He changed his previous temper and began to practice seriously, no longer trying to hang out in brothels, promiscuous nuns, and pilgrims in town...

Wu Liang closed the file, his expression no longer pretending, and returned to his usual indifference.

He raised his eyes to look at the nun and said calmly, "Nun, what do you mean?"

Nun Wen smiled slightly, a look of scrutiny flashing in her eyes. "What do you mean? I just wanted to ask you..."

"Wu Liang, what exactly do you want to do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field suddenly froze.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The date trees swayed in the wind and frogs jumped into the pond.

"Ah."

Wu Liang suddenly sneered, knowing that if he continued to pretend, he would be deceiving himself and becoming a laughing stock.

"What do I want to do?"

"Then we need to see what you, the lascivious monks and nuns of the Birth Temple, have done..."

"I had originally thought of continuing to hide and then giving that beastly abbot a surprise."

"I didn't expect that Master Wen would finally see through the clues."

When he said this, he couldn't help but shook his head with regret.

It seems that he is still a little naive when facing a channel mushroom master who is good at reconnaissance, intelligence gathering and spreading news.

You have to know that these are just Taoist mushroom masters, not even those wise Taoist mushroom masters who are really good at playing tricks and understanding people's hearts.

"Haha...how brave."

"Although you are a little stronger now than before, you are still only at the second level."

"Who gave you the guts to brazenly say such things and want to deal with Abbot Shanren, who can suppress the three families and even the entire Zhaodi Town?"

"Don't even mention the abbot. Just talking about this incident today, I'm afraid you will fall into my hands."

Nun Wen's tone was no longer calm, which made people shudder.

Wu Liang heard this and didn't take it seriously.

He sneered and said, "When I had a pot of mushroom growing on my head and was a first-level mushroom master, the lecherous monk Sekong also thought so."

"But what about now?"

"I am still alive, but he ended up dead without a burial place."

"I dare to plot against Sekong and even take revenge on the abbot. I must have someone to rely on."

"If the nun called me here just to mock me for overestimating my own abilities, then forget it."

"If you have the energy to do that, why not just capture me and hand me over to that beastly abbot and ask for some blood-soaked bread."

Wu Liang spoke bluntly, his eyes always fixed on Master Wen, without retreating even a little.

"Do you have anything to rely on..."

Master Wen narrowed her old eyes and nitpicked about this.

The words and actions mushroom in her dantian did not give any warning.

In other words, this kid really has something to rely on...

"Very good, little guy, you are indeed much better than that bastard Sekong."

"Tell the people behind you to come out. I want to talk to them..."
