20demayo Chapter 6 Abnormal Aura
Chapter 6 Abnormal Aura
Coming to his senses, Lu Mingfei sat down in the chair, rested his chin on his hand, and began to cosplay as a sculpture.
He was being used.
Lu Mingfei was absolutely certain of this. Although he had only spent three short months with Jiang Mingzi, Jiang Mingzi had demonstrated the kind of prestige expected of the so-called number one in the world when it came to puppets, talismans, and Taoist magic.
This also made him realize that his guess was actually correct.
Jiang Mingzi could have solved his problem from the very beginning! She could have!
There's no need for him to join any of the Three True Methods, nor for him to become a seeker of the Dharma; the other party can resolve the issue with a simple flick of their finger.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late, or perhaps that bastard immortal lord did it on purpose, just to make him join the Three True Paths.
As for why?
During those three months of study, Lu Mingfei understood why Jiang Mingzi, despite being the strongest seeker of the law, could not kill the Myriad Causes Corpse Immortal. It was all because of the existence of the law of cause and effect.
According to his cheap master, Jiang Mingzi had already killed the Myriad Corpse Immortal once a thousand years ago, a rare feat achieved simultaneously in the past, present, and future.
Although Lu Mingfei didn't understand how Jiang Mingzi could kill Wanye over a thousand years, it didn't stop him from knowing that Wanye wasn't completely dead, and that a remnant of him in the Nameless Place was sent to the distant future.
As long as this law of cause and effect exists, and as long as the myriad karmas remain in that distant future, even if the Corpse Immortal of Myriad Karmas is killed, the other party will return again.
Effect before cause!
If future generations have the consequences of the other's existence, then everything done before will have been in vain.
Everyone is bound by this law of cause and effect, even the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Causes, but now, an unexpected event has occurred.
There is no cause and effect in this world, and no being that can be punished by the law of cause and effect.
Lu Mingfei is this anomaly.
It does not exist within the law of causality, yet it can witness and change established facts.
If all else fails, I'll just be punished to death; I'll wake up as a hero again.
An incredibly useful tool, and you don't have to worry about dying as a disciple of the Three Truths.
That bastard immortal lord had exactly that in mind!
He boarded the ship first and bought the ticket later; he could hear the abacus beads rattling all over the place.
For some reason, Lu Mingfei couldn't feel any disgust, even though that immortal lord was a bastard and he had been forced into the world of seekers of the law.
But... this was the first time he had ever felt that someone had high hopes for him; he had never felt this way since he was a child.
Eager and full of hope!
"Sigh, looks like we won't be seeing that bastard immortal for a while."
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei clenched his fist again. He could feel a 'door' made of flames inside his body, which he only discovered after becoming a seeker of the Dharma.
According to Jiang Mingzi's deduction, this "door" should be the reason why he was able to cross over.
After attempting to make contact with the door with his consciousness, Lu Mingfei was prepared to be punished by the law of causality. However, he did not expect that he would return without being punished at all.
Just like a portal, it didn't even give him time to react.
After passing through, as the door closed, he also learned the message of that door.
The door is merely an appearance; its essence is a flame, a fire that can connect the two worlds!
Just hearing it gives people a feeling of awesomeness, after all, it's time travel! Something that many scientists dream of, but the boy himself is not very happy.
Time travel and returning from death—these options sound incredibly powerful.
But this awesome thing actually made him feel incredibly down.
because.....
It's out of power now!
...............
After checking and confirming that the flames were slowly recovering, Lu Mingfei finally relaxed.
It's certainly a good thing we can't see that bastard immortal lord for now, but what if we can't see him at all...?
He felt somewhat disappointed just thinking about it.
That immortal lord is a scoundrel, but his high regard for him is genuine.
"According to that bastard master, I am now considered a beginner seeker of the Dharma. I only need to understand the essence of the Dharma to enter the realm of minor supernatural powers."
Lu Mingfei walked to the window. The sun was setting outside, and the streets and alleys looked exactly the same as when he fell asleep.
The clear view came into his eyes, making him feel somewhat dazed.
Those three months of life-or-death torment and bizarre experiences seemed like a fleeting dream.
But the residual magical power within the body, the residual magical energy in the fingertips, the activated acupoints within the body, and...
A finger traced a faint line in the air, and a nearly transparent talisman appeared. With a light touch of the fingertip, the talisman transformed into a beam of light, and then...
"Buzz!"
a bolt from the blue!
A bolt of lightning, brighter than the setting sun and as thick as a spear of divine punishment, ripped through the air and tore through the sky. To Lu Mingfei's astonishment, the lightning struck a tree in the distance.
He could even see the wounds on the tree trunk caused by the lightning strikes!
"I...go..." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth wide, his throat felt like it was being squeezed, and he could only squeeze out two dry syllables. He shrank his neck, as if the lightning would strike his head at any moment.
Almost simultaneously, the middle-aged woman downstairs couldn't hold back any longer. Amidst the child's cries, she roared in a powerful voice, "Which heartless little brat is setting off firecrackers downstairs in the community? Do they want to die?!"
Lu Mingfei hissed and slammed the window shut, not daring to expose himself. The grandson of that old lady downstairs was notoriously mischievous, and it would take half a day just to coax him. He dared not touch that unlucky fellow.
"Didi didi"
Lu Mingfei had just turned on his desktop computer when the QQ notification sound rang out. The avatar of the girl wearing a baseball cap was flashing at the top of the message box, making Lu Mingfei's heart skip a beat.
"Chen Wenwen?"
Even though it had only been three months, Lu Mingfei felt as if he hadn't seen the name for a year. It was both strange and familiar, and for a moment he didn't even dare to open the chat box.
"Beep... beep"
Lu Mingfei was so startled that his hands trembled, and he immediately opened the chat box. Chen Wenwen's message appeared in his field of vision.
Chen Wenwen: "Will you be attending the Literature Department's event in two days?"
What should Lu Mingfei say now?
He said he would participate?
If it were Lu Mingfei before he joined the Three Truths Sect, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now... facing Chen Wenwen's invitation, he felt not even a ripple in his heart.
Could it be that the heart-refining trial of that bastard immortal lord turned him into a monk?
But he's only been practicing for three months! Is it really necessary to see results so quickly?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei simply stopped thinking about it, neither answering nor looking at it. He clicked back to the QQ message bar, wanting to open the message that had disturbed him and divert his attention.
"Let me see who sent this message..." Lu Mingfei was stunned before he even opened it, not because of the message, but because a surge of energy entered his senses.
It was eerie, violent, and unlike any other human aura.
"That damned immortal has brought something back again, wait a minute!" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he was back now, and the damned immortal was not here.
"A Dharma Corpse!? No... wait, how could there be a Dharma Corpse in this world!?" Lu Mingfei frowned. Under the tutelage of that bastard Immortal Lord, the fearless Lu Mingfei had suffered countless hardships, and he would never mistake this aura.
Only someone who has eaten humans would possess such a violent aura.
"Could it be related to the abnormality in my body?" Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of a possibility: even if he was tired and exerted a lot during that bastard immortal's training, he could recover his mobility in a short time.
At first, he thought that the immortal was secretly helping him, after all, he was a well-known good-for-nothing who couldn't even pull three people on a single bar, so how could he have so much strength?
until.........
"This immortal lord did nothing. Wasn't it all due to your own abilities, you good-for-nothing?"
It wasn't until he sought help from the immortal lord that the other party pointed out Lu Mingfei's abnormality: "Isn't this abnormal physical ability something you, loser, were born with? You have a kind of power in your body that even this immortal lord can't discern its origin, and you don't even know it?"
How could he possibly know? Only someone in that world would experience such an anomaly. He even thought it was brought about by that bastard Immortal Lord.
You can't exactly tell him that someone has locked his body in the normal world, can you?
That's utter nonsense.
But now... perhaps it's not him who's absurd, but the world he's lived in for 17 years!?
Is it a vampire or a werewolf? Or perhaps a man-eating monster? This isn't Tokyo, after all.
I can't worry about that anymore.
Thinking it over at home was of no use. Lu Mingfei put on his shoes, flung open the door, and dashed out like an arrow!
He wanted to see what kind of creature was roaming outside, and dared to eat people.
Do you know how many cannibals he's killed recently? It seems we really need to taste the iron fist of this successor of the Three Truths Dharma.
What Lu Mingfei didn't see was that right outside the door he rushed out of, the camera on the computer started flashing red, a sign that the old camera had been turned on.
That was a cheap one that came with it from the factory; the resolution was low, and it was incredibly laggy due to network issues.
But none of that is the key point....
The key point is that Lu Mingfei has never used this camera! He doesn't have anyone he can video call, so he simply doesn't need it!
