Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 100: Buddha Heart Sword Bone, Upgrade of Righteousness

Committing suicide in front of Emperor Yuan?

Looking at the simulated ending that appeared, Su Mo was delighted.

This simulation is pretty good.

They all got close to Emperor Yuan.

Wouldn’t that allow for many plots of people changing their fates against all odds?
Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately chose to check his life experience.

In the game interface, this simulated life experience slowly unfolds.

……

[You were abandoned at the gate of Tianhe Temple in the capital of the Yuan Dynasty the moment you were born. Fortunately, you were picked up and raised by an old monk who was sweeping the floor.]

Because you had only rice porridge to eat since childhood and no breast milk, you grew up dark and thin, and were bullied by the monks in the temple from a young age. The old monk saw that this was not a solution, so he begged the temple to send you to Baoguo Temple to learn martial arts.

When you were eight years old, you were sent to Baoguo Temple.

In the old monk's opinion, Baoguo Temple is an official temple under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty, and it has produced many talented people. If you can learn some martial arts, his efforts will be worthwhile.

When you first arrived at Baoguo Temple, you were still bullied. The temple manager even made you carry eighteen full jars of water every day before you could eat.

Although it was difficult at first, every time you passed by the brothers practicing in the temple, you could understand the principles of qigong from their postures. Unconsciously, you felt your strength growing. You used to have to wait until dusk to fill eighteen jars of water, but now you can fill them from morning to noon.

Your changes have caught the attention of the steward, who examined you and discovered that you had learned the basic techniques of Baoguo Temple's Qigong exercises without anyone teaching you.

Your talent piqued his interest. He believed you had a promising future, so he sent you to the Discipline Hall, removing you from the chores of fetching water and chopping firewood.

The Discipline Hall is where the Buddhist disciplines of Baoguo Temple are taught and martial arts are studied.

[After being sent here, you diligently studied Buddhist martial arts. Not only did your martial arts skills improve rapidly, but your understanding of Buddhist texts also surpassed most monks, quickly attracting everyone's attention.]

[The elder Kongzhi of Baoguo Temple personally accepted you as his last disciple. He not only taught you martial arts, but also taught you many methods of subduing demons and monsters, as well as numerous Buddhist scriptures.]

[Your cultivation is becoming increasingly profound, but this has also drawn the apprehension of some monks.]

[They believe that if you continue to grow, you will most likely threaten their position as the abbot's successor.]

[But because you're the center of so much attention, these people don't have any way to deal with you right now. They can only wait for the right opportunity.]

[During this time, the old monk who raised you died, and you personally kept vigil for his body for three months.]

In this way, you grew up until you were fifteen. At fifteen, you went out with the monks from Baoguo Temple to beg for alms. They said that to comprehend the Buddhist scriptures, one must travel thousands of miles.

But you don't think so, because you feel that understanding these Buddhist scriptures is as easy as eating and drinking water.

[But you've been bullied since childhood, and you know full well that expressing opinions that differ from others can easily lead to isolation. To fit in, you've had no choice but to meditate and sit with them every day. This time, you're going out purely to broaden your horizons.]

You monks are very respected. Everyone bows down to you along the way. You have finally arrived at a small town near Dadu to beg for alms.

[You met a woman in this small town who amazed you.]

[She was the daughter of a butcher, her name was Bai Jiaojiao.]

【You two just had a brief encounter. 】

[As someone who is well-versed in Buddhist scriptures, you immediately believe that she is your destiny. However, monks cannot marry. If you want to marry her, you must return to secular life.]

[After returning to the temple, you couldn't calm down for a long time. In your eyes, heart, and mind, all you could see was the shadow of that woman.]

Your condition was soon discovered by your master, Elder Kongzhi, who then asked you the reason.

You honestly told your master, Elder Kongzhi, about your experience.

You've been a monk since childhood and haven't experienced the joys of the mundane world. There's no way you can truly grasp the profound truth in the Buddhist scriptures: "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form."

After hearing what you said, Elder Kongzhi did not offer any admonitions. Instead, he remained silent and turned away.

You packed your bags that night and left the temple.

When they learned that you had taken the initiative to leave Baoguo Temple, many monks were very happy. In their view, your departure meant that there would be one less strong contender for the future abbot position at Baoguo Temple.

When you arrived at Bai Jiaojiao's house, she was shocked. She had never imagined that you would return to secular life to find her.

Her first reaction was to send you back. She didn't want to be known as someone who seduced monks.

Bai Jiaojiao's father is very pleased with you, a monk-son-in-law. In their eyes, monks hold a high status, and even if they return to secular life, they can still bring honor and blessings to the family.

[You married Bai Jiaojiao as you wished, and became the butcher's son-in-law.]

[It's just that when your father-in-law slaughtered pigs, you seemed a little out of place and often chanted the Amitabha Sutra to pray for the pigs' salvation.]

Your father-in-law didn't say much about your actions, because you did this to reduce his sins.

[You and Bai Jiaojiao have spent a year as husband and wife. This year has been the happiest time of your life.]

[A year later, you felt your heart begin to calm down, and you no longer had the same passionate feelings towards Bai Jiaojiao as before.]

【And at this time, the world began to become chaotic. 】

Many heroes rose up in rebellion, and you can see many people being drafted.

At this time, you feel that the people won't have many peaceful days left.

[So I chose you to bid farewell to Bai Jiaojiao and return to Baoguo Temple.]

Although Bai Jiaojiao is reluctant to let you go, she respects your decision. Abandoning your romantic role, this time you defy fate and change your destiny, your reputation will rise.

When you returned to Baoguo Temple, many monks were wary of you. They had never thought you would come back.

Your master, Elder Kongzhi, is very happy because he understands that you have realized the true meaning of Buddhism: only after you have something can you choose to let it go.

[After that, your fame grew, and you often left your opponents speechless during debates.]

Emperor Yuan, having heard your profound Buddhist teachings, has sent someone to invite you to the imperial court to lecture on the Dharma.

You realize this is an opportunity, so you work hard to show yourself in the court.

Your many teachings have drawn applause from the crowd. Emperor Yuan is also very pleased with your performance and wants to appoint you as the Imperial Preceptor.

You chose to reject the temptation of becoming the Imperial Master and applied to lead the troops to quell the rebellions in all directions. In your view, the people are neither right nor wrong, and it is the powerful families who coerce the people into rebellion that are the root cause of the unrest.

Emperor Yuan was also very happy to hear about your ambitions, as he was currently worried about how to quell the rebellion.

【You can take the initiative to volunteer, which will make him appreciate you even more. 】

[Since you have no experience leading troops in battle, Emperor Yuan has appointed you as the Grand Marshal of the Army and assigned you two capable generals.]

When the leaders of the various rebel armies heard that you, a monk, had become the Grand Marshal of the Army, they all looked down on you, believing you were vulnerable.

You have a strong learning ability. After just a few battles, you've completely matured. In your opinion, there's no difference between leading troops in battle and understanding Buddhist scriptures.

Under your leadership, over a period of more than ten years, you were able to suppress over twenty anti-Yuan forces. (As a Buddhist disciple, you became a high-ranking general of the Empire, defying fate and changing the fate of the Yuan court. Your reputation has risen significantly.)

News of your victory quickly spread back to Dadu, and Emperor Yuan personally stood outside the city to welcome your arrival.

[And you saw Bai Jiaojiao's shadow among the crowd of people welcoming you.]

[Although I no longer have such passionate feelings for her, as husband and wife, we are bound by love. All you can do is protect her. All she can do is watch you from afar.]

[After the celebration banquet, Emperor Yuan decided to kill all the civilians you captured who participated in the uprising.]

[But you disagreed with his actions, and a fierce conflict broke out between you and Emperor Yuan.]

[You've been fighting all over the world for over a decade, and the Yuan Emperor has long been wary of you. So, he's made a request to you: commit suicide here, and he'll let the captives go.]

[In order to save countless people, you agreed to Emperor Yuan's request.]

You chose to commit suicide in court. You are dead.

【Emperor Yuan kept his promise and spared these people.】

[After you died, only Bai Jiaojiao collected your body and kept vigil over your spirit for the rest of her life.]

[Your life has been full of ups and downs. Although you were just an abandoned baby, you have made some earth-shaking achievements, and in the end, you even gave up your life for the people.]

Millions of people are grateful to you and will always cherish the memory of this great monk in their hearts.

【Evaluation: Immeasurable merits.】

[Please don't leave, rewards are being calculated...]...

Explosive rewards!

After reading the life experience, Su Mo's eyes were excited.

This time the talent is the purple Buddha Heart Sword Bone. It would be great if it was given to him.

Just when Su Mo was daydreaming, a reminder about rewards appeared.

[Congratulations, you have received the reward: "Buddha Heart Sword Bone" in this simulation.]

[Buddha Heart Sword Bone: Those who possess this gift possess a compassionate heart. Their understanding of Buddhist classics and the Way of the Sword will surpass that of ordinary people by a hundred times. However, due to the inherent danger of excessive wisdom, they are prone to premature death. They must accumulate merits to change their fate.]

Because you have performed immeasurable merits in this simulation, the Buddha Heart Sword Bone has eliminated the side effects of "compassion" and "premature death."

[Reward settlement completed, I wish players a happy life. 】

Su Mo felt relieved when he saw the two side effects of the Buddha Heart Sword Bone Removal.

Now there is nothing to worry about.

Although this simulation only gave him one reward, it was still very good.

After all, it is a purple talent with the side effects removed, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is half a step towards gold.

at this time.

The relic on Su Mo's chest suddenly shone brightly. He was shocked after seeing this scene. What happened?
Immediately, he reached into his clothes on his chest, but to his surprise, the relic had disappeared.

Unconsciously, Su Mo's mind had gained many new insights into some Buddhist classics that he had accidentally read while still on Earth.

This made him unable to help but indulge in it. At this moment, he felt like he had been enlightened, and many principles that he did not understand before suddenly became clear.

After a long time, Su Mo opened his eyes, and he had a lot of insights.

Buddha's heart and sword bones.

That’s what it meant.

I just don't know what it would be like if I practiced sword.

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but want to take a stick to practice swordsmanship, but for him who had never learned swordsmanship, he had no foundation to practice swordsmanship at all.

Although he had learned sword in the previous simulation, practicing sword was too boring for him, so he would switch perspectives to peek at the women in the Su Mansion.

I just didn't expect the boomerang to come so quickly.

This made him begin to regret it.

But then I thought about it.

Su Mo thought of Xu Miaoyin.

Isn’t there a ready-made swordsman here?
Why don't I just go find Xu Miaoyin to learn some swordsmanship after I wake up tomorrow?
Su Mo then felt much more relaxed.

In addition, he found that the righteous energy in his chest had grown several times larger.

I don't know if it was the relic that brought about the change.

Feeling the change in the righteous energy, Su Mo couldn't help but want to try whether writing would frighten the demons.

This righteous spirit is almost three times greater.

With three times the righteous spirit, ordinary demons should not dare to act presumptuously.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstone at the front desk, which Guo Lin brought here specifically for accounting.

Tomorrow, you can try it yourself.

It’s just that my handwriting is a bit ugly, and I don’t know if the quality of my handwriting has any impact...

I thought about it for a while.

Su Mo opens up his life of love.

Next, of course, we continue the simulation!

Let's see if this time it will be a good start.

……

[Start simulation? 】

"start!"

【Random spawn location.】

[The location of your simulated birth this time is Nanjing Prefecture, Ming Dynasty.]

Is it the Ming Dynasty?
After thinking carefully about the previous simulation, it seems that the current Ming Dynasty is still during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang.

……

【Choosing a random romance character. 】

[The character you are randomly bound to this time is the peasant girl "Chen Huniu".]

When Su Mo saw that it was a peasant girl, his heart sank.

This time the start will not be good...

【Random identity is being selected.】

[Your random identity this time is the son of a farmer.]

【Random talent is being selected.】

As white light flashed, the simulated talent appeared in front of Su Mo.

[Your random talent this time is "Longevity."]

[Longevity: Your health has been better than others since childhood. Even if you don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, you can still live to be a hundred years old.]

……

Seeing that it was indeed such an opening, Su Mo lost the mood to continue watching.

This is a bad start.

The Ming Dynasty imposed very strict restrictions on farmers. If you were born a farmer, you would be a farmer your entire life.

He could almost foresee how he would spend his life.

It's nothing more than farming, getting married, farming, having children, farming...

And this talent is not enough.

Live to be a hundred years old.

If I could live to be a hundred years old, then I would probably have to wait until two days before I could simulate it again.

Unless something unexpected happens to the simulated self.

Then, Su Mo hung up.

After putting away his love life, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep with anticipation.

Su Mo woke up very early the next day.

I looked at the idle interface and found that my simulated self had lived to the age of 34.

Probably when I wake up tomorrow, this simulation will be over.

After a quick wash, he couldn't wait to go to the front desk and take out all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Because they were all brought by Guo Lin.

The quality of the pens, ink, paper and inkstone is very good.

He now wants to see whether this righteous spirit is useful!
