Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Ao Peng was led into a first-class room by a group of female bodhisattvas.

The system kept displaying prompts.

[Your strength has caught the attention of the madam of Hongxiuzhao. She has seen countless people, and although she doesn't perceive a fatal threat from you, she can't possibly send another second-tier female bodhisattva to test your mettle. Therefore, she wants to use a method of alternating battles to break through your Kundalini meditation, and the first-tier room was prepared for this purpose.]

The Class A room is a separate courtyard, nestled in the very center of Hongxiuzhao. The entire room consists of a semi-open large bed, with red gauze curtains fluttering in the wind. The bed faces a hot spring that is bubbling with steam.

The hot spring is filled with a large amount of yang-tonifying medicinal herbs and boiled year-round; just smelling it is enough to get your blood pumping.

In addition, the courtyard has two floors, and the open balcony is fully equipped with all kinds of toys such as bamboo horses, swings, and millstones. People can even be drawn over from other rooms to watch.

Who the hell said people in ancient times didn't know how to have fun!

Ao Peng muttered to himself, "People nowadays are just playing games that were already played in ancient times. If you read more Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, you'll know how much fun people in ancient times had."

Many people know that Liaozhai vividly portrays people and ghosts, but they don't know that half of the Liaozhai articles couldn't pass censorship.

Food and sex are human nature, nothing more.

The steam rising from the boiling hot spring water enveloped the candlelight, forming a pale pink mist in the courtyard. The constant sounds of women's voices filled the air, making it even harder to distinguish between heaven and earth.

[You have inhaled the Peach Blossom Miasma. Your physical condition and mental state have both passed the assessment. The Peach Blossom Miasma has no effect on you for the time being.]

"Young master, please rest well here. Tomorrow, when Miaodi, Jiaye, and the other three are free, they will come to help you with your cultivation."

【Blessed successor! Miao Di and Jia Ye are the top courtesans of this Red Sleeve Pavilion, prominent figures even in this Joyful Town. A high-ranking official from the capital once spent 100,000 offerings just to have a glimpse of their beauty!】

The madam glanced at the group of female bodhisattvas. Although these "daughters" were somewhat better than Pear Blossom, she was still uneasy and worried. She wanted to find the most appropriate way to deal with Ao Peng.

If even Miao Di, Jia Ye, and the other three cannot subdue Ao Peng, she will have no choice but to kill him.

Mysterious Truth, Gaya.

This name alone is enough to distinguish it from other names like Pear Blossom or Welcoming People.

The fact that these four people would spend 100,000 incense offerings just to get close to her is enough to demonstrate their power.

After the madam led the female bodhisattvas away, Ao Peng was pondering whether he should use his last resort to escape when he suddenly heard a squeaking sound beside him.

Ao Peng turned around and saw a human-faced rat suddenly appear from somewhere, standing beside him with its hands clasped in a gesture of obsequious worship.

Ao Peng casually tossed over an appraisal spell.

【Rat-faced Man】These are the souls of men who were killed by the female bodhisattvas of Joyful Town. They harbor resentment and refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation. In this dark and treacherous land, they transform into demons, seeking revenge, but their own strength is too weak to succeed.

Congratulations! You, a mere mortal, have defeated both Pear Blossom and Welcoming Man. Your outstanding performance has earned the admiration of the Rat-Faced Man and fulfilled their lifelong dream. They regard you as the destined one they have been waiting for.

"Holy crap, the plot can take such an unexpected turn!"

Even Ao Peng had to admire the worldview of Old Earth Games.

If he kills Pear Blossom and Welcoming Man by other means, he will avenge the Rat-Faced Man, but he will not earn their respect, nor will he trigger the hidden plot.

Only by overcoming the strong through weakness in Zen practice and defeating the female bodhisattvas of the Red Sleeve Pavilion can one resolve all the regrets of the Rat-Faced Man, gain his complete respect, and unlock the hidden storyline.

"Squeak squeak".

The rat-faced man stretched out his palm, pointed at Ao Peng, and then pointed at the shadow on the ground.

The next moment, the shadow transformed into a dark path.

The rat-faced man beckoned to Ao Peng first, then walked into the shadowy path.

The rat-faced man has opened a path to the Shadow Realm, seemingly guiding you inside. Are you willing to enter the Shadow Realm?

The rat-faced man was weak, but he seemed to want to help him. Ao Peng didn't hesitate much and followed the rat-faced man into the shadowy path.

This shadowy path was indistinguishable from up, down, left, or right, and even black and white were indistinguishable. Everything around was hazy and indistinct. If it weren't for the rat-faced man's guidance, Ao Peng would probably have gotten lost immediately.

After walking for about 15 minutes, Ao Peng suddenly felt a sense of relief and arrived at a spacious underground area through the Shadow Realm.

The place was completely hollowed out by the rat-faced man, and its size was almost no less than the tomb of the Yellow Emperor's righteous men that he had seen.

Welcome to the chaotic graveyard in Joyful Town.

Centuries ago, the Tantric Buddhist lineage of the Blissful Buddha came to this town to spread their teachings with the Qing dynasty demons. They built countless brothels, much like the Red Sleeve Pavilion, where the bodhisattvas and men, however glamorous, were merely passersby in Blissful Town. Only this chaotic graveyard was their eternal resting place.

Ao Peng has now opened his inner vision with the fire of humanity, so he has some supernatural abilities and can see in the dark.

However, once he could see what was in front of him, even he regretted for the first time that he could see in the dark!

Beneath this enormous mass grave, the rat-faced men had hollowed out a pool. There weren't any rare treasures inside, since anything of value that bodhisattvas and men had after their deaths would inevitably be divided up by the Joyful Buddha lineage.

All that remains here are the fruits of their sins!

This is a huge pool of purple water. The reason the water is purple is because it is a dark purple formed by blood and pus.

Countless umbilical cords were intertwined in the pool of water. Some of the unborn fetuses were not yet fully developed, and some had not even grown limbs. Their bodies were wrapped with dark purple blood vessels, and they floated on the umbilical cords. Their eyes were pale, empty, and without pupils, staring straight at the dark sky above the cave.

The rat-faced men traversed the cave using the Shadow Realm, some of them bringing their spoils—undeveloped fetuses that the female bodhisattvas had aborted with drugs.

These things have always been ignored in Joyful Town, so they were collected one by one by the equally ignored Rat-faced Man and thrown into this pool, where they have been for a hundred years!

It took Ao Peng several minutes to calm down from the shock of what he was seeing.

Old soil is the dregs of a previous era.

That era truly didn't treat people like human beings!

The system text continues.

Welcome to the tip of the iceberg of our old homeland.

The rat-faced men used their weakness as cover, but for centuries they had never forgotten their revenge. Therefore, they secretly collected the sins of the female bodhisattvas and threw them into the Xuanming Dead Sea. The resentment in this Dead Sea is the height of humanity, feared even by gods and Buddhas; even if all the waters of the five lakes and four seas were poured out, it would still be difficult to wash it away.

They deceived the female bodhisattvas of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and they deceived you too.

Two months ago, with the opening of the old land, the Heavenly Way changed, and the resentment in the sea took shape, named "Heavenly Resentment." Its only wish is to be born, which requires a powerful vessel of meditation. Are you willing to help it fulfill this wish?

The last few words appeared in Ao Peng's vision, carrying a chilling, almost dark purple blood-red hue!
