61: Chapter 61 Behind the Scenes (5 Updates) 61: Chapter 61 Behind the Scenes (5 Updates) “…If a husband does not govern his wife, his dignity will be compromised; if a wife does not serve her husband, the principles of righteousness will collapse…”

“…Yin and Yang are distinct in nature, men and women follow different paths.

Yang is characterized by its strength as virtue, Yin by its softness as application, men are esteemed for their strength, and women are considered beautiful for their gentleness…”

“…A husband has the right to remarry, but a wife has no such privilege written in the codes; thus it is said: The husband is like heaven…”

What appeared before Lin Xing was the sound of a young girl reading aloud.

Since she was a child, she had learned to weave, embroider, and studied the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

In addition to this, her parents had even hired a tutor to guide her.

Apart from poetry and literature, the books she read most were all related to women’s virtues and female education.

Whether in the eyes of her parents and brothers, or those of her teachers and servants, she was always the obedient young lady of the household, adhering to the teachings passed down by the sages with the goal of becoming a qualified daughter, wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.

But suddenly, terrible news arrived: the man to whom she was engaged died at the hands of bandits.

Her father looked at her with expectation, “What do you wish to do now?”

Her brother advised her, “This is a great opportunity to maintain your chastity.

If you make up your mind, I will have mother come and bid you farewell today.”

Her father expected it of her, her brother persuaded her, and her teacher had also taught her from a young age…

The girl knew that what they said was not wrong.

So, having just turned fifteen, she made up her mind to do something that would make her name live on through history.

After leaving behind a letter, the girl threw herself into a well.

Feeling the oncoming gusts of cool air and the endless darkness, the girl seemed already to see how, after her death in loyalty to her husband, countless people would praise her virtue.

Her family would shine gloriously because of her, a memorial arch would be erected in her town, and she might even be recorded in the history books like many of the virtuous women before her…

Bang!

…

Lin Xing came to his senses, looked at the relic of the evil spirit in his hand, and sighed lightly, “So it was.”

Having stowed the relic in his backpack, Lin Xing then disappeared in a flash, heading in the direction of the Zhou Mansion.

Based on the memories transmitted from the relic of the Evil God, and the clues Lin Xing had gathered through repeated battles with the female corpse, he knew the matter was far from over.

On the other side, those present were shocked to witness Lin Xing eliminate the female ghost.

They had not anticipated that such a formidable ghost could be so easily subdued by Lin Xing.

Especially the elder, who felt a deep sense of worry surge within him.

“His talismanic powers seem stronger than the last time.”

“This rate of improvement is simply too rapid.”

“If we do not get rid of this boy today, he will become an endless threat, and I will never have my day of revenge.”

Thinking of his age, he had gradually made up his mind.

Elsewhere, the Zhao-named Martial Artist seemed to be contemplating retreat, “Has Lin Xing truly not completed his skill progression?

The power of his talismans is shockingly impressive.”

The elder assured them multiple times that Lin Xing had not completed his skill progression, “How old is he?

If he had completed his progression, then have we all been training for nothing?”

“He was able to subdue the ghost this time surely because his talisman art coincidentally restrained this particular ghost…”

Seeing that the three men still seemed hesitant, the elder, with a determined heart, offered an additional 600 silvers to Situ Fu upon success, and an additional 300 silvers each to Fang and Zhao.

This was almost the entirety of his savings.

Situ Fu, however, shook his head, “I’m afraid that by that time, I might have money but no life to spend it.

Let’s say our goodbyes for now, gentlemen.”

With that, he bowed his hands and turned to leave without a trace of hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Zhao and Fang, who were originally filled with greed, felt a chill in their hearts and, after making some polite refusals to the Elder, they left.

Watching the retreat of the three great experts startled by Lin Xing in an instant, the Elder’s face turned from red to white, trembling with rage.

He looked up to the heavens and let out a long sigh, “Why is my son dead, while his murderer can still roam free?

Oh, heavens!

How unjust you are!”

After a long while, a subordinate by his side asked, “Village Chief, what should we do next?”

The Elder took a deep breath, and in that moment, he seemed to age ten years, his voice hoarse as he said, “Prepare to go back.”

…

Elsewhere, Lin Xing had already arrived at the dry well in the backyard of the Zhou family.

Based on his experience of being repeatedly teleported into this well and dying, he knew this well was an evil place, the source of the malevolent entity that had emerged this time.

He approached the well, already clenching 3 Evil Suppression Talismans in his hand.

His previous Evil Suppression Talismans had not worked, likely because their power wasn’t strong enough.

Now that Lin Xing had attained the elevated skills of the Endless Fu Sea, he planned to use multiple pieces of talisman paper to boost the effects.

Fortunately, he had many unused Evil Suppression Talismans stored away, and knowing he would be confronting evil spirits, he had brought them all with him.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached from outside the courtyard, and an old man looked at him and sighed, “Since you’ve already eliminated the malevolent entity, why don’t you escape quickly instead of rushing to your death?”

Lin Xing turned his head and his gaze swept over the old man, who was none other than the tutor who had taught the Zhou family’s daughter for many years.

Lin Xing remembered the yellow papers that the man had burned; he now finally understood what was drawn on those papers.

Because he had seen the same yellow papers in his multiple falls into the depths of the dry well, they were talisman papers exuding a sinister power.

And similar talisman papers had already covered the entire interior of the dry well.

At this moment, Lin Xing looked at the tutor and asked, “Are you the one who has been nurturing this land of evil for years, and brainwashing the Zhou family’s daughter year after year, until she chose to die to maintain her chastity as a widow?”

The tutor suddenly let out a laugh, “I nurtured this land of evil?”

“Since ancient times, where there is land of evil, there is also resentment that reaches to the heavens.”

“Do you know how many maids condemned to death by the Zhou family were thrown into this well, how many miscarried fetuses were discarded, and how many baby girls were killed?”

“This land of evil has never been my creation; it is all a result of the Zhou family’s own terrible deeds.”

Lin Xing nodded thoughtfully, “But you made use of this land of evil to bring about the birth of the malevolent entity.”

The tutor sighed, speaking slowly, “When I was young, I too sought immortality and enlightenment, following my master into the mountains to cultivate for many years.”

“Unfortunately, after years of arduous cultivation, I only achieved a minor improvement.”

“My master said my potential was exhausted, and in this lifetime, I would not make any further progress, so he decided to send me down the mountain.”

“At that time, I had already grown weary of the harsh life in the mountains, and upon hearing his words, a sense of relief actually surged within me.

I only thought about hurrying back home to care for my parents and look after my siblings, to end my life simply.”

“But when I returned, I discovered that my parents had already died of illness wrought by worry because I had left without saying goodbye.”

“My younger brother, who had ventured south to do business in order to support the family, was eaten by a ferocious tiger, dying in a foreign land.”

“My younger sister was taken in by the Zhou family as a maid, but because she served Old Master Zhou, she was envied by jealous women and at the age of twelve, was pushed into this dry well.”

“When I returned to my hometown, I found myself completely alone; I had no family left in this world.”
