Chapter 777: Chapter 775: Seven Calabash Brothers 2
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
“No, there’s no need.”
Wan Teng’s expression darkened at once.
He watched the Peerless Young Master, who was so excited he had completely immersed himself in his own twisted amusement.
He could not help but sigh.
He began to deeply miss those days when Lin Qi had not yet become a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
How happy everyone had been back then.
Nothing like now.
The hearts of the people had scattered. The team was hard to lead.
Everyone had their own little schemes now.
So much so that sometimes Wan Teng could not help but think.
If he were Lin Qi.
With this current bunch of Dream Bubble Shadow Nine Spirits.
Why would they even need to catch any internal spy?
Executing them all might wrong a few innocents, but executing every other one, there would surely be fish that slipped through the net.
As for himself.
Wan Teng sighed inwardly, not letting himself think further.
He merely followed the Peerless Young Master in silence, watching as the Peerless Young Master directed them to hide inside the Gourd.
Next, they would become the Seven Gourd Brothers, guarding
As for that Bai Suzhen.
Snake Demon, scram. Don’t come near!
……
Mount Qingcheng.
White skirts fluttered, immortal qi drifted.
A woman of unmatched beauty knelt before the temple.
The clay Divine Statue enshrined within the temple slowly spoke.
“Bai Suzhen, you have cultivated for a thousand years. By rights, you should ascend to the Heavenly Gates and be ranked among the immortal host.”
“But your karma is entangled, and your mortal bonds are unsevered.”
“You must still go to the mortal world and pass through a tribulation of love before your merit can be complete.”
Hearing these words, Bai Suzhen immediately kowtowed. “This little immortal is foolish. I beg the Venerable to enlighten me.”
“Very well. Heavenly secrets have changed now.”
“This Venerable might as well help you to the very end.”
“You may take this Venerable’s decree and make a trip to the Underworld, reincarnate, and become the Princess of the Great Song.”
“Sixteen years later, you will naturally encounter the one undergoing tribulation.”
“Thus you will pass through this tribulation of love, sever your karmic mortal ties, and be ranked among the immortal host.”
“This Venerable will await you in the Heavenly Court.”
After the words fell, a Golden Edict drifted out from the clay Divine Statue.
Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment, then accepted it in her hand. She kowtowed once more, then headed straight for the Underworld.
After watching Bai Suzhen depart for the Underworld to reincarnate.
A figure walked out from the clay Divine Statue. After pondering briefly.
With a shift of his body, he arrived at Mount Emei.
A sweep of divine sense quickly found a Green Snake as large as a flood dragon.
The Green Snake flicked its tongue, unruly and defiant, staring fixedly at the figure that had descended before it.
“From now on, you shall be called Bai Suzhen.”
The figure paid no mind to the Green Snake’s fierce look masking cowardice. He said lightly.
He pointed a finger.
The great Green Snake’s cultivation instantly surged, its spiritual power profound, and it transformed into a thousand-year White Snake.
Amidst its bewilderment, the Green Snake was again powerless over itself. Its body changed shape, turning into a human form. It stared blankly at the figure before it.
“Memorize this book.”
“Act according to the book. As long as you serve this Venerable well.”
“In the days to come, this Venerable guarantees you will be ranked among the immortal host.”
The figure spoke coldly, tossed down a book, turned, and vanished without a trace.
The great Green Snake — no, it had now become a thousand-year White Snake.
She blankly reached out and picked up the book the mysterious figure had tossed down, poring over it carefully.
A story about the Legend of the White Snake appeared before her eyes.
……
Hangzhou, West Lake.
Xu Xian walked hurriedly across the bridge, his gaze instinctively sweeping once more over West Lake, but he quickly withdrew it.
Today was the day the results were posted.
Whether he had placed on the Golden List, whether he had passed this Autumn Examination, would soon be revealed.
He felt there should not be any problem.
After all, he was not the foolish Xu Xian from the book who could only work as an apprentice in a pharmacy.
He had the Heavenly Book to enlighten his wisdom, precocious since youth.
In scholarship and examinations, he was confident he far surpassed that Xu Xian in the book.
So this time.
“I actually failed? How can it be?!”
Xu Xian could not accept this result. He stood before the Golden List for a long time, unwilling to leave.
He could not accept that he had failed even this year’s Autumn Examination.
That also meant he had no means to participate in next year’s Spring Examination.
Let alone the Palace Examination, to earn the title of Presented Scholar.
His elder sister and brother-in-law would certainly be unwilling to let him try again.
“Can it be that Heaven’s Mandate truly cannot be defied?”
Xu Xian returned home in a daze.
On the gourd trellis in the small courtyard, seven small gourds had already vaguely formed on a single vine.
Seeing Xu Xian return in such a daze.
The Peerless Young Master and the others, waiting inside the Gourd to grow, immediately fell into discussion.
“Today seems to be the day the results are posted.”
“Looks like he failed to place on the list.”
“Isn’t failing to place only natural? In the script, he never passed anyway.”
“Ah, stupid.”
“We should have let him pass.”
“If he had passed, become the Zhuangyuan, even the Prince Consort, then where would there be room for that snake spirit?”
“Damn, why didn’t you say so earlier? Being wise after the fact is useless.”
The Peerless Young Master was instantly vexed.
Only Wan Teng spoke, his expression grave.
“It’s not being wise after the fact. I had already thought of this earlier.”
“So I secretly checked Xu Xian’s results for this examination long ago.”
“His score should have been in the top three. He should not have failed.”
At these words, everyone was stunned.
After a moment, someone finally spoke in a low voice. “Is it Heaven’s will? Heaven’s will wanted him to fail, because it wants him to follow the plot.”
“It should be.”
Wan Teng was not quite certain. He instinctively looked toward the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor.
But the Heaven-Abandoning Emperor was deeply immersed in his role. He said he would be the Sixth Gourd Brother, so he was the Sixth Gourd Brother.
He resolutely went invisible, giving Wan Teng no chance to question him.
“It’s fine. Failing is failing.”
“If he really became an official, it would be troublesome too.”
“There would definitely be plenty of people introducing wives to him.”
“This is fine too.”
“We just need to guard him, help him defeat the Snake Demon.”
“After gaining his trust, we take him to cultivate in the mountains.”
“He is a reincarnated body. Cultivation won’t succeed, and in the end he will naturally die of old age in the mountains. This lifetime will be considered passed.”
The Peerless Young Master chattered on, already having a detailed plan for this reincarnated life.
“Is there a possibility that Master reincarnated into the mortal world precisely to temper a wisp of Innate Spirit-Light amidst the red dust?”
Wan Teng could not hold back anymore.
Was this Peerless Young Master sick in the head?
Did he really think he was playing a murder mystery script!
If you do it this way, even if Lin Qi reincarnated another ninety-nine times, he would never pass this Return to Void Tribulation.
“In my opinion, why not simply take advantage of Master’s failure.”
“We find a way to incite Master to rebel.”
“The current Southern Song Emperor is trash anyway.”
“We help Master rebel.”
“It would both break the script set by Heaven’s will and let Master experience more tempering in the red dust.”
“What do you all think?”
Lord Xinling proposed.
“Right. If you transmigrate to Qing, you rebel. Ah, no. With the Wanyan Dog in power, who can say rebelling isn’t justified!”
The Peerless Young Master cheered excitedly.
“And with our abilities, if we help the Old Man become Emperor for a round. Never mind rebelling against the Wanyan Dog, unifying the world isn’t even a dream!”
“Good, good, good. We’ll go with this script!”
“Don’t get excited yet.”
Wan Teng could not help but interrupt.
“Do you really not take Heaven’s will seriously at all?”
“Stopping Master from being defiled by the Snake Demon is one thing.”
“But if we really do as you say, Heaven’s will…”
“Heaven’s will is a fart. What we’re fighting is Heaven’s will!”
The Peerless Young Master laughed wildly.
“Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise.”
“This Young Master, on behalf of the Gourd Brothers, invites the Great Song to die!”
