Chapter 354: Chapter 275 Contact with the Local Natives

"You all climbed over the city wall and entered the town, where the dark, damp alleyways exuded a rotting, sickly air."

Pan Hao pointed to the ground, signaling you not to step on the medicinal residue on the road.

Your eyelids twitched twice as you thought of certain tacky things back on Earth.

In this high-level idealistic world, you dared not breach any taboos; a simple little thing might bizarrely lead to a major mishap.

A low house hung with red lanterns had a woman stretching out her pale, thick legs, kicking them at you, while holding a crying baby in her arms.

Your heart skipped a beat, and you left that place.

Pan Hao laughed at you for being a fledgling, suggesting that you might go back and see if there was a unique charm to the Mountain and Sea Realm in that low house? Yes/No

No.

After Wang Hao clicked "No," he immediately regretted it, "Why did I choose No!"

He began to wonder what would have happened if he had clicked "Yes," whether Comrade Li Qingshan, from the light of the Righteous Path, would actually have gone to experience the unique charm of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Just thinking about it, it’s not butter, cut it out, old Wang."

Soon, your idle wandering caught the attention of the locals.

An old woman with white hair and a face pocked like the back of a toad, claiming to be the Great Witch of Qingshi Town, stopped you and asked where you were from.

She held a grayish-green snake-headed cane, looking like a tough customer. [Seize]

Fortunately, the great Demon God had granted you basic communication abilities, and you easily understood their language.

Stranger, she seemed quite suspicious of you because of your unique ominous aura, leaving only Pan Hao to step forward and talk.

"Is it because I didn’t eat that pus sore?" Wang Hao wondered alarmed.

He was slightly confused about what exactly the worldview of the Mountain and Sea Realm was.

Weird cultivation? Normal cultivation? Magical medicine cultivation? From what he saw now, it seemed to slowly lean towards the category of magical medicine cultivation.

Also, that [Seize] option, was it suggesting that one could go up and rob things?

After pondering for a moment, old Wang still held back his curiosity, considering the continuous timeline of the Mountain and Sea Realm. If he robbed something and even after rejuvenation was eternally hunted, that would be troublesome.

Pan Hao claimed that you had fled from the far East where it was war-torn and drought-stricken for years, with widespread famine and people resorting to cannibalism.

You had traveled through the grasslands to this place, hoping to stay temporarily in Qingshi Town, offering your labor in exchange for food.

The witch pondered for a while and seemed to believe Pan Hao’s explanation, nodding in agreement.

She arranged for you a small house. Its original owner had long passed away, and the room was empty without any furniture.

Fortunately, you finally had a place to rest.

In your conversation with the witch, you initially grasped the worldview of this realm. Throughout the ancient history of the Mountain and Sea Realm, great Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had emerged protecting human existence. The most recent Great Bodhisattva was called Ksitigarbha.

However, fifty years ago, after the "Heavenly Dog Devours the Sun" phenomenon, Ksitigarbha’s divine power faded, and no one knew what had become of this deity. After that, demonic spirits ran rampant. Qingshi Town had an outbreak of evil possession forty years ago where the possessed, like mad demons, would bite people and eventually die turning into a pool of thick liquid. Over forty years, the population had dwindled to less than one-tenth its original size.

Stranger, a sudden thought arose in your heart: If you could successfully resolve this evil possession catastrophe, then the great Demon God would surely focus on this small town, scattering the light of the Righteous Path here.

As dusk fell, the witch left.

What do you choose?

The screen popped up with quite a number of options: [Ambush her] [Help carry corpses] [Investigate the true nature of the disaster] [Inform the witch of the white-haired monster outside the village] [Offer some food in exchange for information] [Continue exploring the town] [Go straight to sleep] [Flee Qingshi Town]—a full screen of choices that made Wang Hao’s head spin.

Wang Hao swallowed his saliva, pondering for a moment, he hesitated on what seemed like the safer option of [Continue exploring the town].

"This crappy game, playing it safe is sure to kill!"

"Better play it safe anyway!"

[Go straight to sleep]

It was getting late, you felt tired and lay on the floor, chatting with Pan Hao about the information of the Mountain and Sea Realm, discussing the hardships of life here.

Since you spoke in Chinese, not the local language, you didn’t need to worry about being overheard.

Who knows how long it was before you drifted off into a deep sleep.

...

...

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... how is there still a Ksitigarbha?"

Lying on the ground with his legs crossed, Pan Hao said, "That old witch, she definitely hasn’t told us everything. She might not even be a good person, we need to be careful. As for prostitutes in brothels, there have been pitiful people throughout the ages, let’s take care of our own business first before thinking about others."

"Do you think you can be a savior, do you have the ability?"

"I certainly know that," Li Qingshan said irritably.

"I thought you might be moved by the sight..."

Pan Hao hummed.

These young ones, they see bizarre and terrifying creatures and can muster the courage to fight desperately.

But when they see the tragic states of human children, they easily become sympathetic, which could jeopardize big plans.

However, being a trainee of the Black-clothed Guard, Li Qingshan didn’t make the mistakes Pan Hao had anticipated... Conversely, it could be said, Pan Hao in his youth wasn’t as good as young Li.
