The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 149: The Passing of Xiangjiang: The Mysterious Book (asking for monthly tickets)

Xu Shu was always conscious, and there was no mystery in the womb:
[In 2055, you were born in a small inland town north of Hong Kong. ]

[Your father's name is Chen Jinnan. When he was young, he was involved in gangs. With his ruthlessness, he rose from a small fry to a place where he had his leg broken.] (Note 1)

[After Chen Jinnan became lame, he went around looking for bosses but was rejected because he was not only a bad fighter but also had a foul mouth. After a while, he probably couldn't make it in the underworld anymore.]

[He had no choice but to change his career and started selling pancakes. He married Wang Xiaohuan, the daughter of Pancake Master Wang who couldn't get married because of his uneven legs. She is your mother.]

[It was snowing heavily when you were born. He pushed a cart and dragged your mother to the clinic. Later, he became lame and got arthritis. He was in excruciating pain every time it rained. His wife was lame, and he was also lame. In a fit of anger, he named you Chen Que, but you were not actually lame.]

[Your father is not kind. His whole life was marked by failure. He often told your mother that he would sell 500 million pancakes in the future. Your mother nicknamed him the Pancake King.]

[This is very appropriate, because you are the big cake prince, you have been very good at drawing cakes since you were a child. ]

[When you were in elementary school, you relied on your good looks to cheat girls out of their pocket money, claiming that you would marry them when you grew up. Your childhood sweethearts were in all grades.]

[When you were in middle school, you started to get worse. You claimed that you had extraordinary martial arts skills, gathered a bunch of younger brothers, and started causing trouble everywhere, fighting with the hooligans on the street.]

[In this era where it is difficult to realize one's ambitions and achieve one's goals, it is extremely difficult to gain a foothold, and it is even more difficult to stand out from the crowd - but you are different. You can do what others cannot do. ]

[You often stand out at a young age. Every week, the old principal criticizes you in front of all the teachers and students in the school. You have received more punishments than the certificates of honor that the top student in your grade has received.]

[You don't like studying, but you are physically strong. You look for people to teach you martial arts, but you are deceived many times. Your physical education teacher can't stand it anymore. She introduced you to a famous local martial arts class. The price is that you have to perform martial arts for her every weekend night.]

[You have a unique body and are a natural martial artist. You start touring around town with your martial arts class. Everyone thinks you are a future action star.]

[Nana, the most beautiful girl in your class during your school days, liked you because of this. When you graduated, you sang and danced in a new KTV. She pulled you aside and confessed her love to you. You...]

[You refused. You are still just an ordinary person. Your goal is to become a true "martial artist" who is superior to ordinary people. Women will only affect the speed of your sword drawing.]

[She left crying, and then a few drunk men passed by, took a fancy to her, and tried to tease her.]

[You are a real man, full of vigor and blood, you can fight four people alone and beat them down. ]

[The other party sued you, saying that you intentionally injured someone, and you asked the class beauty to come forward to testify that you were acting bravely and in self-defense.]

[Unexpectedly, she was scared when the time came. She said she knew nothing and saw nothing.]

[The person was caught red-handed, and there was no way to defend herself. Afterwards, she even told you hypocritically that she would wait for you, but you sneered and said nothing. A man should not worry about not having a wife. So you were sentenced to three years in prison. ]

[You have turned evil. You swear that when you get out, you will make her pay with blood.]

[As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. This is exactly the case. You didn't expect that this jail time would bring some changes to your life.]

[You met a hermit who was sentenced to life imprisonment in prison. He claimed to be the head of Liuhe Sect. When you arrived, he took a liking to you. He said he was willing to teach you martial arts, but you had to help him do something after you got out.]

[You agreed. Under his instruction, you learned the ancient martial arts tradition "Liuhe Youshen Palm". You practiced hard every day. There were often conflicts in the prison. Whenever the prison guards couldn't control you, you would fight back. You beat more than a dozen people by yourself. You were often evaluated as an excellent prisoner in labor reform.]

[Your parents have never come to see you, but it doesn’t matter, you are doing well on your own. ]

[Time flies, years pass by, and in a blink of an eye, you are released from prison after serving your sentence. ]

[“A Que, this is the address of my Liuhe Gate. After you go out…”]

[“Don’t worry, Master. The task of revitalizing the sect and avenging Master will be left to me!”]

[“Ah? Uh… I’m glad you have this intention.”]

[Your master gave you an address, you accepted it solemnly, this is an agreement between men.]

[“Damn Zhang Nana, you made me spend three years in prison, allowing my reputation to be destroyed and my family to be laughed at. Now that the three-year period is up, I will take back everything that belongs to me!” You swore bitterly at the prison gate. ]

[Strangely, no one came to pick you up, and you only had a few dozen dollars on you, so you could only take a taxi to your hometown, Qili Town.]

[You return home and find that both your parents have passed away in the past three years, as well as your neighbor.]

[It turns out that a fire broke out in the residential building where you lived more than two years ago, killing dozens of people. You escaped the disaster by going to jail, which made you not know what to say for a while.]

【You are 22 years old and officially an orphan. 】

[After you went to the cemetery to pay respect to your parents, you decided to seek revenge on Nana. She is now married. When you arrived, she was feeding her child. You went up to her and covered her mouth tightly, saying to the child, "Call me uncle, otherwise I won't feed you." At the same time, you asked her if she regretted everything she had done.]

[After she recognized you, she cried and threw herself into your arms, telling you her troubles.]

[It turns out that she has had a hard time these years. Her family business failed and went bankrupt. Her husband is a businessman with no skills. He often beats and scolds her when he is drunk. Now she regrets not standing up for you.]

[In fact, your hatred has faded at this moment. After all, you have gained a lot in prison over the years. In a sense, you have escaped a disaster. And she seems to have been punished by fate invisibly. She hugged you and told you about her unhappiness over the years. That night, you two were deeply in love and had sex.]

[There are three good qualities of a wife: a good mouth, no blame, and a full stomach. ]

[Afterwards, Nana asked you if you still hated her, and she hoped to maintain a lover relationship with you in the future. However, you were no longer concerned, and you said that the world was so big, you wanted to go out and explore. You smiled and said:——

[“After going through all the hardships, I have to pay off my debts. When we meet again, all grudges will be wiped out with one shot.”]

[You packed your bags and left this backward town. ]

【In 2077, you came to Hong Kong. 】

【In this era, Hong Kong is extremely rich, but the chaos is still not over. Every year, countless people come here from all over the world to make a living. There are human traffickers, smugglers, wanted criminals, casinos, brothels, and brothels. There are all kinds of demons and gangs, and a hundred flowers bloom.】

[You are new here, you have nothing but your hands, so you naturally follow your cheap father's old path and become a thug.]

[Sometimes you don’t even know who the boss you’re following is, but you just go because he pays you. Gradually, you become famous based on your skills.]

[It seems that you have gradually understood the true meaning of your fate. You will be thrown into the sword and kill people in the world! You will rely on a pair of iron fists to conquer the world. ]

[You are different from your father. You are good at fighting and loyal. You quickly gained a foothold. With the introduction of a noble person, you began to enter the official boxing ring to fight. You won every time and were nicknamed "Chen Boxing King".]

[Relying on your fame, you quickly blended into the upper class society, and your main target was those wealthy and lonely young women. ]

[Your Liuheyou Palm is fast, accurate, and ruthless, and you beat them without any resistance. You gradually accumulated a lot of wealth.]

[In 2088, you are 33 years old. You are already a veteran in the love field. You have countless lovers all over the country, in-depth in various fields. You have become the real wolf of Hong Kong - the wolf of Shi. ]

【? 】

[You weirdo, I want you to be in the sword, not to escape to the day! Wandering in the world! ]

"Tsk, why not?"

Xu Shu curled his lips.

He didn't want to either.

But the problem is that this world has not yet demonstrated extraordinary powers.

He originally thought that he could just fight according to the "Throwing oneself into the white blades" method and that he might be able to break through to become a "martial artist" among the extraordinary professions.

But it turns out that it doesn’t work.

Although he is very powerful, he is just an ordinary person and is still a long way from being extraordinary.

What happened to the promise that I would have more opportunities than others to get involved in extraordinary mysteries?
Not at all.

If a mortal's life goes on like this, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good blue quality fate? It would be funny if a blue fate was drawn and a white or green reward was drawn.

Therefore, Xu Shu had no choice but to take a radical approach in the fifth year.

But at present, it seems that this method also does not work.

"I have thrown myself into the sword and killed people in the mortal world... I have done it. Could it be that I need to escape from the mortal world to complete it?"

Thinking of this, Xu Shu was not sure, but he decided to give it a try.

If it really doesn't work, just live your life as an ordinary person. There's nothing else you can do.

He continued the legend:
[Your mentality gradually changes, and you realize that there may not be any extraordinary martial arts in this world, so now that you are a millionaire, you decide to retire and enjoy life, and find another way. ]

[The sisters and aunts you made friends with cried and tried to keep you, but you were determined to leave.]

[During this period, you went to the headquarters of Liuhemen and left a large sum of money for your master's wife. Because her appearance was average, you didn't have many stories with her. In this way, you have repaid your master's kindness.]

[Afterwards, you chartered a cruise ship and took the six concubines who were still willing to follow you to travel abroad, bought a luxurious villa abroad, and lived a shameless life.]

[Your life in seclusion is very boring. Every day you just walk the dog, play with birds, take a walk, and play cards.]

[During this period, you encountered an assassination attempt. A real cripple came from afar and crossed the ocean to kill you. He was a little neurotic and shouted something like "Kung Fu is a killing skill" and "It's a matter of life and death", and he insisted on fighting you. ]

[You had neglected martial arts for a long time and were almost killed by him. In the end, you chose to use the newly learned American Iai skill to shoot him to death, and taught him with blood what it means to be able to shoot quickly from seven steps away.]

【There was no more trouble after that. 】

[Ten years passed, twenty years passed...]

[You were determined to retire from the secular world, so you had many pairs of children, and your children had their own children. You successfully spread your bloodline in the new country.]

[As the passion fades, your wives follow the local customs and join the church when they get older. You don’t mind going to church to attend mass every week. You just want to get in touch with the extraordinary mystery now.]

[In 2121, you are 66 years old and still energetic and strong. Looking at the vast and dreamy meteor shower in the sky, you wish to touch the extraordinary mysteries in your lifetime, but perhaps, ordinary death is also an option. ]

[On the second night, you heard a strange voice calling you for the first time in your dream: ****~***]

[You can't hear clearly what the voice is saying, it seems to come from underground, but you know that the extraordinary mystery is approaching.]

[After this, your family began to suffer unrest, and some family members began to encounter misfortunes, such as car accidents or other disasters, but no one was killed.]

[There is a basement under your house. In addition to some sundries, your grandchildren play there. You occasionally enter and find a strange book.]

[The cover of this book is dark red, with words you can't understand written on it, and various bloody and horrifying images of evil spirits eating people carved on it.]

[At the same time, it cannot be opened. It has a lock that looks like the fangs of a beast, and it looks very slanted. ]

[A normal person would definitely burn this horrific book if they saw it.]

[However, you are very courageous. In pursuit of the extraordinary, you took the risk and took this evil book away.]

【Considering that it might be dangerous, you dispersed your family and asked them to live in the city, while you conducted research here alone.】

[For several months, you heard a faint call every night, as if coming from underground.]

[So you drilled into the soil in the basement every day, and you drilled dozens of meters, but you still couldn't find its true appearance. ]

[They seem to be coming from the book, but they also seem to be still underground.]

[You suddenly realize that the underground you thought was actually not here, but on the other side of the planet.]

[You ignored your family's objections and returned to your hometown alone with your books. That was your hometown where you were born and raised, a small town in the north of Hong Kong.]

[My hometown is still there, but no one lives there anymore and the houses are dilapidated. ]

【You have arrived alone. 】

[Your guess was correct. As expected, you heard very obvious rustling and chanting sounds at night.]

[You look closely and find that the book that cannot be opened is turning pages, and the chanting sound is echoing in the room like a strong wind.]

[The sound is getting closer and clearer, you quickly stand up and hold down the flipping book.]

[It freezes on a page: a blurry, distorted figure. Written in words you can't understand, but Taichujuan has translated them for you. Her name is: Suki Herrera.]

[Suddenly, your door is knocked open, it's coming! ]

[You got what you wanted, you saw its true appearance:

[It was a tall, human figure that looked like a woman, wearing strange clothes that looked like priest's clothes and monk's robes.]

[You can't make out her detailed features. You only see her sunken eye sockets and two scarlet eyes staring straight at you.]

[She said to you in a low, vague voice that sounded like countless mouthparts chewing repeatedly: "Sa loves Sa... TVB!"]

[In the strong light, your brain is occupied and you stop thinking. ]

[In your life, from being thrown into the sword to escaping from the daylight, from rolling into the world of mortals to escaping from the world of mortals, you have always been pursuing the secret of the extraordinary, but you have never glimpsed a single bit. ]

[Until the end of your life, you finally get what you want, but you also pay the price with your life. ]

[Perhaps, if you don't come here to seek death, you can enjoy your old age. ]

[However, life is like chess, and you should never regret your moves. This is what you pursue in your life after all. Perhaps one day in the future, you will be able to unveil her mysterious veil. Who knows?]

"The legendary achievement is being calculated for you..."

"You have failed to enter the extraordinary realm this time. You have not accomplished anything."

"Final evaluation: You have never been content with mediocrity in your life, but you are still just an ordinary person. However, you finally saw the mysterious light. No matter whether it is white or black, you will die without regrets."

"You have been awarded the title: Light Chaser (Excellent)!"

“Light Chaser (Excellent): If there is no light in the world, then let yourself become the light. When wearing this title, you will gain the skill [Blessing of the Kingdom of Light], and you can shine by yourself.”

[Number of times opened today: 0/3]

……

"?"

The chaos around me dissipated and I returned to reality.

Xu Shu slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

God damn TVB!

He actually killed me instantly...Mortals are really nothing in front of the extraordinary...
