Mushroom Man

Chapter 36: Mushroom Child, Great Sun Lord

"My dear friend, I admire you more and more."

"I see in you the appearance of my younger self..."

At this moment, the 'formless will' in the darkness was Wu Liang.

Suddenly, a sound came to his ears.

And the owner of this voice is the true formless will.

That's right!

The sound that the three mushroom masters heard earlier was not the formless will at all!
From the beginning to the end, it was just a lie made up by Wu Liang in order to trick these mushroom masters into making mushrooms for him.

Wu Liang hid in the darkness, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He knew very well that if he wanted to complete the second level test in a short period of time by himself.

There is no doubt that this is impossible.

The only way to break this situation is to find another way and take risky measures.

"Fraud..."

"All the tests of the Wuxiang inheritance, whether it's the blind men touching the elephant or the fake pearls."

"Ultimately, there is only one unavoidable essence, and that is fraud."

Wu Liang looked indifferent, knowing this very well and having long understood the essence of the Wuxiang inheritance.

In his opinion, since he couldn't figure out how to refine the two mushrooms in various shapes and forms without the mushroom recipe.

Then wouldn't it be better to use fraudulent means to throw this difficult problem to those who are better at refining mushrooms than him?

In this case, whether the three families and the Songzi Temple can complete the test will be beneficial to him.

If they are unable to refine the Two Mushrooms of Various Shapes, Wu Liang can use this to delay their progress and buy himself more breathing space.

And if they could refine the two mushrooms in various shapes and forms, Wu Liang could sit back and reap the benefits, completing the second level of the test without any effort.

It can be said that as long as Wu Liang is not exposed, the lies he told this time will basically make him a profit.

Of course, his plan is not without risks.

"It's not difficult for me to deceive these simple-minded cucumbers."

"The real fear is whether we can hide it from those old monsters outside."

"If those old monsters outside notice my intentions and try to break through with force, I'll be completely wiped out..."

Wu Liang stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

But if you think about it carefully, those old monsters are all people who value their lives.

After learning that there was a suspected 'formless will' in the bronze tower, they might not dare to be so bold as to ignore the test and break through by force.

Not to mention Abbot Shanren, who himself knew that there really was a formless will within the inheritance.

This is also why Abbot Shanren was so cautious. Even after breaking the inheritance, he only sent some monks to explore the way, because he was afraid.

The abbot dared to break into the Wuxiang inheritance by force because of Wuxiang's will, and he himself wanted to see this scene.

But if you ignore the test of 'Formless Will' and break through by force, that is a completely different concept.

"There shouldn't be any problems in the short term."

"While they're trying to figure out my mushroom recipe, I can take a good rest."

Wu Liang became a hands-off boss, no longer having to worry about anything, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

The 'mushroom recipe' he had just spread, as well as the so-called test, still needed time to ferment.

So he did not wait here, but used the Wuxiang Order to leave the nine-story bronze tower first.

In a moment, Wu Liang came to his senses and found himself back in the meditation room.

"Come here, call a monk to go down the mountain and buy a few jars of fine wine, and bring a copy of the Mushroom Man Biography."

"My mouth has been almost dry these past few days. I have to drink to my heart's content so that I can concentrate on my cultivation."

"Go, go!"

The first thing Wu Liang did when he came back was to shout a few words outside the door, pretending to be craving for alcohol.

There were always monks guarding his door, ready to take orders.

Soon a monk responded and ran to tell the errand monk.

After Wu Liang finished doing all this, he finally couldn't hold on after nearly three days of sleepless nights and fell asleep.

He slept very restlessly.

During this period, I woke up several times and always dreamed that Abbot Shanren was pulling out my tendons and skinning me.

……

The next day.

Abbot Shanren is back.

The first thing he did when he came back was to summon all the monks who were good at refining mushrooms, to deduce the mushroom recipe and verify its authenticity.

At this moment, almost all of his thoughts were focused on the Wuxiang inheritance, and he had no time to pay attention to Wu Liang. However, Wu Liang was also not idle at this time.

"The Mushroom Man Legend has finally arrived..."

Wu Liang rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the Mushroom Man Biography delivered by the errand monk early in the morning, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He did not forget that he still had the time bomb of mushroom poison in his body that had not been dealt with.

At the moment, there are three families and the Songzi Temple in the Wuxiang inheritance that are giving him headaches, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the best time to find a solution to mushroom poisoning.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately opened "The Story of the Mushroom Man".

He skipped over the first chapter on life and death and turned his attention to the second chapter... unity.

"Let me see how the first child of the Mushroom People, the legendary Great Sun Lord, solved his loneliness..."

It is said that a long time ago, there was no sun, moon, day or night.

Newborns explore this world with curiosity.

This world is so vast and boundless that it deserves praise.

This world is so cold and cruel, it makes people disgusted.

People groped in the unknown and encountered their first mushroom... feeling mushroom!

For people, feelings are the source of everything and the beginning of everything.

It gives people the ability to feel the beauty of all things, but it also gives them the ability to feel the torment of suffering.

People who are brought together by instinct have different experiences and feelings, and thus have differences.

They walked in different directions in the unknown, leaving behind footprints of exploration that converged into roads.

However, these different roads have a common name - the road of life.

But what we encounter most in life is not setbacks or gains, but differences and the pain caused by the inability to share or express.

However, this kind of depression is a delicacy for a kind of mushroom beast in this world.

The name of this mushroom beast is: Loneliness!
Loneliness is like a flood or a beast, which can easily drown a person's heart; it is also like a maggot attached to the bones, sucking the marrow from the bones all the time.

For a moment, the whole world was filled with the sounds of people wailing.

There is only one person who is still walking firmly on his own path in life.

He is the mushroom man's first child, and the gaze that the mushroom man holds high above his head after taking out his eyeballs.

He has only one goal, which is to free people from "loneliness"!
So he began to explore the unknown...

He walked and looked, the strange sights could not stop him, the strange mushrooms could not make him pause, and the bizarre things could not make him pay attention.

He struggled and persisted. Pain could not make him give up, loneliness could not make him change, and sorrow could not make him tired.

As he dragged his wounded body, loneliness was already close to him, the mushroom poison penetrated into his flesh and blood, and darkness was everywhere.

Before he knew it, he saw a glimmer of light in the distance.

He walked closer without hesitation, only to find that it was a faint fire mushroom.

"Human, why are you here?" Huogu asked weakly, his breath barely fading.

"I want to dispel loneliness!" Even though his body was broken, his tone was still firm.

"Man, I can help you, but I am too weak now. I have been starving in this wasteland for too long."

The fire mushrooms flickered, as if they would go out at any moment.

"If, if you are willing to offer your flesh and blood and endure the pain of being burned by flames."

"Perhaps I can reside at your right hand and help you..."

The flames swayed like a candle in the wind, uttering their last sound.

He said nothing, but just grabbed the fire mushroom.

The faint flame burned his palms and burned his flesh and blood.

The grease seeps out little by little, and the flame grows little by little!

But his heart was warm, and the loneliness faded away little by little...

When he was just born, the passion in his heart was rekindled, burning away the past suffering and loneliness in his heart.

The weak flame gradually grew into a raging fire, dispelling the darkness, bringing light, and dispelling loneliness.

"Fire! You don't know me well enough!"

"As long as it can dispel loneliness, I am willing to give everything I have."

He raised his right hand high!
Just like my father once held me high!
What his father raised was his gaze, but what he raised was the goal that everyone was united in!

As long as you have a goal in your heart, you can endure any kind of loneliness and pain.

As long as your heart is full of passion, it will not be hidden by the cold night!
