Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

"What's wrong?"

Li Feng watched as the two stood outside the house, seemingly arguing. Hong Xiang'er looked smug, while Yu Ya's face was full of resentment.

"She said, 'Master wants me to be the mistress, and she will be the head mistress. From now on, I have to listen to her...'"

Upon hearing Yu Yatou's words, Li Feng immediately facepalmed. This was utterly ridiculous. Not to mention that he didn't have that thought in mind right now, even if he did, the fire that had been painstakingly built up in the furnace would have been completely extinguished.

"Of course it is, Grandpa! You and Grandma agreed on this marriage; it's already settled, you can't go back on your word!"

Hong Xiang'er pinched her slender waist and pouted as she spoke.

"Don't bring this up, don't bring this up!"

Li Feng waved his hand, "This matter needs further discussion. Let's all calm down and talk about it another day!"

Hearing this, Hong Xiang'er became even more excited, swaying her slender waist as she added fuel to the fire, "What, did you hear that? Master wants to see real skills. You're no match for me in this area, so you'll definitely have to be the servant!"

The girl pursed her lips, her face flushed, and no one knew what she was thinking. She took small, quick steps and went back into the house.

……

……

In the latter half of the night, Li Feng was still thinking about one thing he hadn't taken care of: the corpse of the demon Jiang Liuer still needed to be sewn back together. After all, he had promised the master, and he couldn't go back on his word. He went to the master and told him. The master's complexion had improved considerably. He nodded, apologized to Li Feng, and sighed deeply.

Li Feng naturally had nothing to say; the old master craftsman had also contributed a lot to dealing with the bowl mender behind Master Feng.

Holding three incense sticks, they arrived at the west wing. It was the same as before, with a large bed set up for Jiang Liuer. It's worth mentioning that this person was born with extraordinary abilities. According to the old master, Jiang Liuer was born with six ears and was a good candidate for listening to demons. But no one knows how he went astray.

After lighting three incense sticks and offering a proper prayer, Li Feng began stitching up the corpse, a task he knew all too well.

He got into position and first calmed his breathing. This time, strangely enough, before the breathing could be properly channeled, it surged out of the acupoint and into Li Feng's palm, completely engulfing him. After rubbing his palm, he noticed a black birthmark on his palm, clearly shaped like the Grand Duke Jupiter.

Seeing this, Li Feng was secretly delighted. With the help of the Grand Duke Jupiter, he wouldn't have to worry about the bad luck inside the corpse affecting him when he sewed up the body in the future.

After catching his breath, he began the serious process. As Li Feng threaded the needle, the subtitles on the simulator in front of him appeared in time.

[Originally, the family was filthy, and my father was destitute. He was also addicted to gambling and smoking opium, accumulating a mountain of debt and becoming physically weak. Out of sympathy for his father, he took a life with a prostitute in a brothel, who was also addicted. That's how you were born. You were born with six ears, which terrified your parents. They thought it was a result of their illness and wanted to throw you into the old forest to be fed to wild dogs.]

[It's true what they say: outsiders watch the spectacle, insiders see the details. Ordinary people don't know that your six ears are a natural gift. Not to mention how many people in this chaotic world desperately want to enter the trade and survive, you were born to be one of them. A group of porcelain craftsmen took a liking to your unusual appearance and bought you to be used as a sacrifice in their kilns, hoping for a good harvest.]

[It was also your fate to die. You had a reclusive master, a master of the Listening Demon, who kept a low profile in the martial arts world. He was looking for someone to pass on his skills, and happened to come to this place. He saw your appearance and was amazed. He readily offered a high price to bring you back and treated you as his true disciple. He didn't hold back at all and taught you all his skills.]

[Your master craftsman never sought fame or fortune, only a peaceful life, hoping to accumulate good karma through his craft. You, on the other hand, are quite different. As the saying goes, young people have high aspirations. Now that you have a skill, you naturally want to make something of yourself. Through your travels, you've even made a name for yourself on the Tianhe Road in Beiding Prefecture.]

[Everywhere you go, people address you respectfully as "Master Chef," and you're feeling quite pleased with yourself. But then you meet a fellow expert on the road, and after exchanging glances, you realize you've finally been outdone. Seeing that the expert across the street is even younger than you only adds to your unease.]

[He set up a fight, but after a few rounds, he still lost. Unexpectedly, the man didn't ridicule you; instead, he took you to a tavern and drank with you for a day and a night before revealing his true identity. It turned out you two had a past connection; the boy and girl in the kiln before weren't this person before you, but now they were local bowl menders.]

This bowl mender surnamed Yuan recruited you into her group, urging you to join her in plotting something big. She said, "When things are bad, change is necessary; change leads to success; success leads to longevity," and invited you to join a gang called the Ascension Sect. She instructed you to lie low and wait for the right moment to rise in power, at which point you could ascend to immortality.

[You listened to Yuan Xiang's advice and joined the Ascension Sect. Over time, you became wild and your path went astray. You used an evil technique to remove your master's life-giving furnace, and with the addition of this furnace, you rose to become a leader within the Ascension Sect.]

[Then he received a summons to Lock Dragon Manor to overturn the Lock Dragon Well, remove a Town-Suppressing Stone, and replace the local ley lines, but unexpectedly...]

The rest is unnecessary to mention. It was Li Feng who knew about this situation, and that the man named Yuan Xiang was the bowl mender behind Master Feng.

Heaven and earth are a scale, its value used to judge good and evil; the one who receives evil receives ten taels.

Arrogance is not terrible; what is terrible is being unaware of the evil in the world. Rating: Lower-D.

[Reward: Add a villain: Six-Eared Master.]

[Annotation: Lord Six-Eared enjoys hearing crying, commotion, and other noises... He likes all the noises of the world. Letting him hear more of these things can be helpful, but be careful that Lord Six-Eared doesn't inadvertently corrupt your mind.]

……

……

Li Feng clicked his tongue, fiddling with the Six-Eared Old Man in his hand. He had delicate features and didn't look like a bad person.

But they didn't know what kind of help this Six-Eared Master could provide.

I simply finished sewing it up and told the old craftsman. I wanted to leave it for him, but he was determined to leave, so I didn't insist.

As I left, I handed over some ingots to the old master craftsman amidst his surprised gaze, which could be considered as returning the items to their rightful owner.

The old master was moved to tears and rode away in a mule cart.

When Mr. Lin arrived, he mysteriously pulled Li Feng into the house, saying that he had something to discuss.
