I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 46: Enlightenment and Ascension
“Achieve the Tao and ascend to heaven. The whole wall is written with ‘Achieve the Tao and ascend to heaven’. No, no, no, they are distorted and deformed. It should be said that there is only one sentence written on the whole wall: ‘Achieve the Tao and ascend to heaven’!”

The bald man was trembling with fear.

As if he had seen something extremely terrifying on the wall, he took several steps back and tried to escape.

In a moment.

Lin Nantong and the other detectives felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Li Ji once again carefully looked at the wall covered with scarlet scribbles, but still saw nothing and still couldn't understand.

“Only illiterate people can understand it.”

Li Ji murmured thoughtfully.

At this moment, a crazy and foolish laugh sounded nearby.

“Achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven…Achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven…”

“Tianzun, I have understood, I have understood, hahahahaha – snap – snap – snap!”

Liu San stood up tremblingly, raised his head and laughed wildly.

The flesh all over his body suddenly began to turn black and rot rapidly, and then white spots gradually appeared all over, as if it had experienced countless years.

Then it quickly peeled off, scattered, and condensed into a ball of thick black gas, which rushed out of the narrow thatched hut and shot into the mountains and forests.

There was a crisp sound of bones crackling on the spot, and the white skeletons fell down one by one. Before they hit the ground, they had already turned into bone powder and turned into ashes.

"Walk……"

Li Ji didn't think twice and was about to rush out of the thatched hut when something unexpected happened next to him, causing him to stop.

"No no no!"

"I still have children, I still have a wife, I still have an old mother to support..."

"Tianzun, I don't want to ascend, I don't want to ascend!!!"

The screams of fear gradually turned into muffled roars.

The bald man fell to his knees with a thud, grabbing his head with both hands, his face distorted and ferocious, and he slammed the ground hard again and again.

The forehead was smashed until it was bloody and horrible.

"Laoba!"

Lin Nantong's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the bald man's shoulders, trying to stop his self-harming behavior.

Upon seeing this, the other detectives also rushed forward, some holding down the wrists, some holding down the head, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Li Ji looked at the black air in the sky that was gradually becoming unclear, then looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his face looking somewhat gloomy and uncertain.

Roar.

Urn sound.

Still going on.

"Goddess, let me go, I don't want to ascend..."

"Nannan, wife, mother, why are you here..."

"I...I...I..."

Gradually the sound weakened until it was silent.

Only the suppressed heavy breathing of the detectives echoed around.

next second!
Bang!
A horrific explosion came from the center, with gusts of air. The detectives were knocked to the ground before they could react. Covered in blood, they slowly stood up, dazed and at a loss, obviously not yet able to react to the sudden change.

Li Ji tilted his head, a piece of meat passed by him, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked up at the first moment.

I saw.

Lin Nantong knelt on the ground in a daze, his body covered in blood. The shoulder he was holding was safe and sound, and the bald man's upper body was safe and sound, but his abdomen was empty and bloody.

Exploding belly!

"Demon...Demon!!!"

Lin Nantong murmured.

The blank look was gradually replaced by ferocity.

"I swear I won't be a human being if I don't kill you!"

Lin Nantong was helpless and furious. He drew out the huge sword on his back with both hands, then suddenly stood up and slashed at the crimson ghostly talismans that covered the wall.

boom!
The wall made of mud and bamboo strips was smashed to pieces on the spot. Large pieces of thin broken wall fell to the ground, and the fragmented crimson runes slowly turned into ashes. "Let's go up the mountain!"

Lin Nantong shouted angrily, holding the huge sword in both hands, with a determined look on his face, he walked towards the forest step by step.

The other constables all had angry expressions on their faces. They also stepped over the big hole in the wall and followed with unwavering steps.

“Is this for show or is this genuine?”

Li Ji was a little confused.

In this strange world, most of the detectives, especially those in the Demon Suppression Division, are criminals who are to be executed in the autumn.

He didn't believe that these people who committed all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes, could have such strong empathy and loyalty.

Usually when encountering a situation like this with a bald man, basically they would kill him immediately when they found something unusual.

However, Lin Nantong and the detectives he led actually chose to...save?!
Li Ji was confused. Looking at the murderous and bloody figures walking away, he still took a step and followed them.

The mountains and forests are filled with miasma and there are countless vines and thorns.

A group of people took a different route and walked directly along the path plowed out by the mudslides in the mountains and forests. The atmosphere was solemn and silent.

Li Ji also gradually came to his senses from his initial confusion.

I vaguely understood why Lin Nantong chose to go up the mountain.

Liu San once said that on a night when it rained heavily, a group of Taoist priests with old voices came here to ask for directions and gave him a book.

Not long after those people left, a mudslide swept down the mountain, and the ancient tomb objects were washed into Lingjiang River along the mudslide. Qinglong went to investigate as usual, but died tragically in Fengguan Village...

According to various signs.

He then had a bold guess, a guess that should be consistent with Lin Nantong's action of leading the crowd up the mountain in anger.

The culprit!

Those Taoists!

Li Ji knew that the Taoists in this world were not those virtuous people who slayed demons and eliminated evil.

Instead, he glimpsed something indescribable, and being immortal, he worshipped it as his ancestor, and thereby gained all kinds of magical powers - the way of the devil.

Time passes while rushing.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night and everyone was asleep.

Everyone was already starving, so they had to stop and find a relatively flat valley to rest.

The bonfire dispels the darkness.

Some people were picking wild fruits, and some were hunting tigers and leopards.

Only Li Ji and Lin Nantong sat on the ground.

Soon, the aroma of roasted meat and the fresh fragrance of colorful wild fruits filled the air.

"Isn't it said that there are many foggy monsters in this mountain? Aren't you afraid that the people under your command will be killed?"

Li Ji picked up the fragrant wild persimmon in front of him, chewed it, and spoke with emotion.

Lin Nantong looked at Li Ji in surprise and said, "Master Qinglong, do you also believe that there are many mysteries in this world and that Dayan is trying to clarify the official path?"

"Isn't it?"

Li Ji frowned.

"Of course not. This is just a rumor spread by the court to appease the people."

Lin Nantong shook his head and laughed, "People in this world are so ignorant that they often use demons to explain things they can't understand. For example, the matter of clarifying the official roads in Dayan is originally an illusory matter. There are so many official roads in the world, and the roads are so complicated that it is difficult to succeed even with the efforts of the whole country."

"Rumors? I don't think so."

Li Ji's brows suddenly relaxed.

He saw with his own eyes the Qingshan Ferry where countless pale arms gathered to form a boat, and the old man performed his duty conscientiously, carrying people across the river.

Just because of a rumor: Three thousand laborers, digging through the mountains to build a road!
"My martial arts have reached the level you and I have. What do we fear from the fog and monsters that ordinary people talk about? We can kill them with one hand. What ordinary people see as dangerous places are as easy for us to walk on as flat ground. Your vision is too narrow after all."

Lin Nantong's words were full of determination and sigh.

Li Ji did not argue, but just chewed the wild fruit and muttered.

"Ah, yes, yes!"
