[Under the villagers’ strange and indifferent gazes, you follow the crowd’s footsteps toward the only temple in Li Family Village.]

[The temple named Pure Goodness Temple is located on a hill behind the village. To reach the temple, one must pass through the village.]

[Along the way, the women and children of every household all stand silently at their doorways, their indifferent gazes focused on you, making your back feel a little cold.]

[Only then do you notice that all those heading to the temple to worship are adult men. There is not a single woman or child among them.]

[No one in the advancing group speaks. The entire village is abnormally silent. You can only vaguely hear children whispering into each other’s ears, saying fragmented things like ‘killing sacrifice,’ ‘relief from calamity,’ and ‘brow bone.’]

[In this atmosphere of extreme oppression, you follow the villagers over the hill and arrive at Pure Goodness Temple at the top of the small mountain.]

[The vermilion gate pillars before the ancient temple have, at some point, been painted pitch black.]

[The midday sunlight is blazing and dazzling, yet the interior of the temple is extremely dim, lit only by the faint glow of scattered candle flames, allowing you to barely make out the outline of the clay idol in the deepest part.]

[Beside the temple are piled many headless livestock corpses, with flies swarming over them and a foul stench filling the air.]

[Following the village head’s footsteps, you enter the temple and step into that gloomy place untouched by sunlight.]

[The moment you step inside, a thick smell of blood surges into your nose. You look up and see that on the altar in the deepest part of the temple are neatly arranged skinned pig, cow, and sheep heads as offerings.]

[What draws the eye most is not those offerings, but the several bloody human heads placed closest to the idol.]

[The eyes of those heads still retain the boundless terror from before death, yet their expressions have been forcibly pulled into great laughter. The corners of their mouths are torn open all the way to their ears. Beyond the cruelty, it inspires only bone-deep cold.]

[The clay idol surrounded by offerings is smeared all over with still-wet blood. In its left hand it holds a Great Wisdom Sword made of human bone, and in its right hand it supports a white bone alms bowl filled with bloody filth.]

[Looking closely, you find that it is actually entrails and trembling human brains.]

[A black cloth hangs in front of the idol’s face, preventing you from seeing the ugly features of this Mother Buddha of All Evils.]

[Beneath the altar kneel three monks. Their once crimson robes have now turned black, and the lead abbot’s bright yellow kasaya has completely changed as well.]

[It wears a black pleated skirt around its waist, a ritual robe made of strips of black cloth, and a strange headdress with black feathers inserted into it. In its hand is a flat round drum.]

[That is a large drum sewn from the skin of a virgin girl who was poisoned mute and deafened before being skinned alive. The drumhead is engraved with unfamiliar scriptures, and it is now the abbot’s inseparable ritual implement.]

[Of course, this is not the abbot’s proudest ritual implement.]

[Seeing the village head bring you and the many villagers into the temple, a strange smile appears on its cold face. Stroking the string of prayer beads around its neck, it says that to verify the one hundred and eight samadhis and sever the one hundred and eight sinful afflictions of past life, present life, and future life, only this last brow bone is lacking.]

[Today, at last, merit and virtue will be complete!]

[That ritual implement hanging around its neck is strung with many beads, well over a hundred of them. The beads are flattened and rounded, with black qi swirling around them as malice gathers…]

[You discovered the Extreme Evil Abbot of Pure Goodness Temple!]

[The abbot strikes the human-skin drum in its hand, playing a soul-stirring rhythm. The two monks also blow their human-bone flutes, and a mournful melody like that from the depths of the Nine Hells echoes through the temple.]

[The villagers all kneel devoutly. Facing the idol of the Mother Buddha of All Evils, they lay both hands flat before their chests, palms upward, with the middle joints of their fingers interlocked in a seal, and worship the idol.]

[They continuously chant the eight-character true mantra Om Ami Re Hum Ga Qia Luo…]

[Along with the soul-stirring decadent music, everything before your eyes grows hazy and blurred. The abbot’s cold voice sounds by your ear…]

[Before the killing sacrifice, one must recite the Eight-Character True Mantra of Blowing Flesh to Rebirth and form the Relief from Calamity Seal.]

[By blowing breath upon the human flesh offering, all evil karma may be entirely erased, and one may become one of the Eight Seeds of Good Fruit, namely Pleasing Summons, Jishe Ni, Rescue Wisdom, Upo Jishe Ni, Light Net, Earth Wisdom Banner, Stainless Light, and Inconceivable Wisdom, and serve eternally at the Mother Buddha’s side!]

[You vaguely remember that the seal used to worship Pure Goodness Bodhisattva was absolutely not the Relief from Calamity Seal, but the Great Advancement Seal formed by clasping both hands into fists and interlocking the middle joints of the fingers, also called the Lion Mouth Seal, meaning to chew through and destroy all evil karma and heavy obstacles, thereby subduing and removing wrathful thoughts so that compassionate hearts face one another.]

[Pure Goodness Bodhisattva was a subordinate god of Great Wisdom Endless Intent Bodhisattva, the left attendant under Ancient Heavenly Enma, specializing in wisdom and teaching the world to break ignorance and cleanse karmic obstacles…]

[Now, the Relief from Calamity Seal led by the abbot is the complete opposite of the Great Advancement Seal. The hand seal that originally chewed through evil karma has changed into an evil seal that adds all manner of evil karma onto oneself!]

[No wonder the villagers have all fallen into extreme evil, their bodies wrapped in dense malice that cannot be dispersed…]

[As the abbot’s words sound at your ear, that breath mixed with a foul stench blows across your neck.]

[You know very well that you are the human flesh to be blown upon, you are that final brow bone, and you are also the most crucial sacrifice in this killing sacrifice!]

[Your soul has already become extremely powerful. Even while possessing a weak Shell, you can still display all kinds of authority powers and divine abilities.]

[You close your eyes. When you open them again, countless clear characters flash through your pupils, and all hazy illusions and all decadent music vanish completely!]

[At some point, the many villagers have already surrounded you tightly. They hold farm tools such as pitchforks, sickles, and hoes personally forged by your father, staring fixedly at you with cold gazes. They are only waiting for the abbot’s order to hack you to pieces and offer you alive before the Mother Buddha of All Evils.]

[The Bane-Repelling Sword hanging at your waist hums and trembles on its own, clearly having sensed extremely dense evil things!]

[With a strange smile on his face, the abbot says in surprise, what evil-defeating weapon is this? I didn’t expect that you brat would have a bit of wisdom-root, enough to awaken and regain clarity under the Auspicious Delight Music.]

[But even if you are clear-headed now, it will still be useless…]

[As he speaks, he steps back a few paces and loudly says to the villagers, this person is the attendant child designated by the Mother Buddha of All Evils. Sending this person onward to rebirth and returning him to the Mother Buddha’s side is boundless merit!]

[The villagers immediately begin approaching you with ill intent. Dense malice shows in their eyes, yet the corners of their mouths rise into laughter, nearly splitting to the roots of their ears in a strange, soundless cackle…]

[Do you wish to launch a counterattack?]

Lin Xun sneered. “A bunch of trash mobs.”

[You Possess the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking Primordial Ancient Dragon!]

[You swing the savage dragon lance named End Dragon’s Roar in your hand, twisting your waist and arm to unleash a sweeping strike, and a howling gale erupts inside the temple!]

[Blood bursts forth, severed limbs fly, and spraying blood splatters everywhere!]

[In the blink of an eye, the villagers who were just alive are turned into mutilated corpses…]

[You defeated the Extreme Evil Villager of Li Family Village. EXP increased slightly.]
