Starting with the Corpse-Eating Worm, he worked his way up to become the Left-Winged Immortal Lord.

into the night.

The place was quiet, and the lights gradually went out.

however.

Outside Changping County, where it was pitch black, a group of people carrying lanterns walked through the night, carrying a coffin into the forest, and stopped in front of a cluster of graves. When the moonlight caught a glimpse, it was astonishing that the graves in the forest were countless, stretching as far as the eye could see.

With just one glance, Gu Qing felt a chill run down her spine.

"The coffin has fallen!"

Suddenly, a man carrying a lantern spoke.

Gu Qing dared not look any longer. He half-squatted down, gritted his teeth, held his breath, and slowly lowered the coffin. Only when the bottom of the coffin hit the ground did he dare to sit down and breathe a sigh of relief.

Before Gu Qing could even rub her sore shoulders, the person who had spoken earlier spoke again.

"Take a short break, then form groups of five to dig pits and bury the coffins!"

Upon hearing this...

Gu Qing felt a mix of emotions.

"I have to endure these grueling days of digging graves and burying corpses at night for four years and eleven months... How am I supposed to go through that?"

three days ago.

He was just an ordinary working-class person on Earth.

The salary isn't high, the boss is an idiot, and the job itself has no future, but after tax I can still make five or six thousand, my parents are healthy, and I can play a few rounds of Delta Force to relax after get off work—ordinary but stable.

He had planned to take out a loan to buy a car this year and drive it back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year, hoping that a matchmaker might introduce him to a nice girl.

Who would have thought that staying up late to read a novel on Qidian would lead to waking up to find oneself transported to a cultivation world?

He was quite excited at first.

After reading novels for over a decade, it was finally his turn to time travel.

But after understanding his own situation, he felt a chill run down his spine. Because the original owner had just joined the Wufeng Temple and was now a low-level Taoist novice, he had to go down the mountain to carry coffins at night, and then spend the whole night digging pits and burying corpses until dawn.

This kind of grueling work will take five years to complete!

It's only been a month!

"You died a quick and painless death, all behind you. Now I'll have to do the hard work for you for the next four years and eleven months!"

Gu Qing felt grief and indignation.

Just then, footsteps slowly approached from outside the woods, and soon they reached the lantern light.

boom--

Suddenly, the man raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A gust of wind shot out like an arrow and landed on a young Taoist boy who was sitting on the ground leaning against a wooden coffin.

"what!"

The man screamed and flew backward, crashing half a meter into a tombstone. His left arm was instantly mangled and bloodied.

This sudden scene startled everyone, who immediately stood up and fell silent.

Gu Qing also kept her head down.

"I'm only a little late, and you dare to slack off." The man who made the move coldly swept his gaze over the six coffins. "Six coffins must be buried tonight, and it must be done before dawn. If you don't finish, you'll damage the life force within the coffins, and you'll have to consider the consequences!"

The words fell.

The man walked to the grave and kicked the young Taoist boy in the left leg, who was gritting his teeth and daring not to groan. "If you're not dead, then get to work!"

"Yes...yes..."

The young Taoist priest pushed himself up with one hand on the ground, gritting his teeth and not daring to utter a single word, but with each step he took, blood dripped from his left arm onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qing was filled with mixed emotions.

The man who injured the person was named Li Fu, a true Taoist cultivator from the Wufeng Temple. He was in charge of managing the cemeteries and also oversaw the young Taoist disciples who were responsible for burying the corpses, but he had never given them a kind look.

If one is not careful, Li Fu will resort to violence.

They could only swallow these hardships, because when they entered the temple, they were reminded that they needed to be a novice for five years and serve for ten years.

For the past fifteen years, they have been mules.

You can't fight back when hit, and you can't talk back when insulted.

"Get to work quickly!" Li Fu walked to the side, and a recliner appeared next to him. He plopped down and then ignored them.

The young Taoists dared not rest any longer and picked up picks and shovels to start digging holes.

From 9 PM to 1 AM, they worked non-stop for three hours, leaving the young Taoist disciples exhausted, their hands feeling like they were about to break.

Moreover, because the tombs were filled with the chilling aura of corpses, everyone's bodies were as cold as frost, with hardly any warmth from their toes to the top of their heads.

Fortunately, the pit was finally dug out before the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).

"Carry the coffin for burial!"

Someone reminded me.

Then everyone worked together to erect the wooden coffin one by one, and then shoveled the excavated soil back in.

After all six coffins were buried, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their breath turned into white mist.

If we don't find a place to keep warm, we're bound to fall ill.

In Gu Qing's view, even if the body temperature is restored in time, it will be difficult for the body to withstand the daily routine.

Even after enduring five years as a Taoist acolyte and ten years of service, one might not have many years left to live, and might even die halfway through.

Even so, not only the other Taoist disciples, but even Gu Qing couldn't bring himself to leave Wufeng Temple on the spot.

Without him.

This is because Wufeng Temple is the only orthodox place of practice in Changping County.

If one wishes to cultivate oneself, prolong life, or even seek transcendence, the only way is through the Wufeng Temple.

Therefore, the number of ordinary people willing to come here and endure hardship is countless in Changping County.

"Four years and eleven months..." Gu Qing exhaled a heavy breath, feeling that these words were particularly heavy.

It was so heavy it made it hard for him to breathe.

soon.

The sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

After receiving Li Fu's permission, everyone left the tomb and headed straight for the Wufeng Temple in Qishan.

After returning to the mountain and drinking some hot medicinal porridge, Gu Qing didn't even bother to wash up. He plunged into the smelly, communal sleeping area, curled up, and waited for the porridge to warm him up. As he waited, exhaustion pulled him into sleep.

But before he had slept for long, a light suddenly flashed before Gu Qing's eyes, tearing away all the darkness.

"Um?"

Gu Qing suddenly woke up with a start.

I looked up.

A blue panel suddenly appeared before my eyes.

……

Looking at the panel, Gu Qing was filled with excitement.

But his first instinct was to suppress his elation and cautiously look around to make sure everyone was asleep before he could finally relax.

"Whether it's five years as a Taoist disciple or ten years of service."

It was the corpse's aura that killed them.

With this daily evaluation panel.

That's no problem!

The words fell.

Gu Qing was filled with fighting spirit.

this life.

There's a panel to help.

He will surely become an immortal.

Live a different life!
