The cold wind rustled, and the night was dark.
Lanruo Temple, the forest in the backyard.
"Brother Liu?"
Bu Feifan looked at Liu Yanchang, who was walking down from Jin Yun, and asked in surprise," Why are you here?!”
Liu Yanchang didn't answer Bu Feifan's question. Instead, he gave him a meaningful look. Then, he glanced at the thousand-year-old tree demon that was still lying in the giant pit. He looked at Master Pushan and asked," Master, how is the situation?"!”
"Amitabha!"
Master Pushan pressed his palms together and said in a deep voice," The people from the Shu Mountain Faction were rescued by the Sect Master of the Profound Heart Orthodox Sect…However, I managed to obtain some clues from the people of the Shu Mountain Faction using the Buddhist Heavenly Voice. From this, I deduced that the Shu Mountain Faction and the Profound Heart Orthodox Sect should have other plans on this trip and not have discovered the secret of Lanruo Temple…"
"Oh? What clues did Grandmaster get?"
Liu Yanchang's eyes narrowed as he asked curiously.
Master Pushan replied in a low voice,"Seven generations of resentful couples…"
"Seven generations of bitter lovers? What is that?"
Liu Yanchang was slightly stunned and looked at Master Pushan with confusion.
"This old monk has only heard a little about this 'Seven Lifetimes Unhappy Company'. For more detailed information, I'll have to return to the Heavenly Chord Temple to read the ancient books.”
A strange light flashed in Master Pushan's eyes as he replied in a deep voice.
"It seems that I have to go to the Heavenly Chord Temple with Master!”
Liu Yanchang's eyes flashed as he said thoughtfully.
Then, he looked up at Bu Feifan and said with a mocking smile," However, before that, I should end the karma between Brother Bu and me!”
" Huh?!"
Hearing this, Bu Feifan's pupils constricted, and his expression froze.
Because he could hear a trace of abnormality in Liu Yanchang's tone.
Liu Yanchang did not respond to his question.
For a moment, Bu Feifan couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. He secretly became vigilant.
"What does Brother Liu mean by this?!”
Bu Feifan stared at Liu Yanchang and asked in a deep voice.
Liu Yanchang smiled and said," Brother Bu, do you know that you ruined my plans at Mount Hua?!”
" Ruining your plans?!"
Bu Feifan was slightly stunned.
He had only woken up in Huashan North Park yesterday evening. After that, he had only had a conversation with Liu Yanchang. In his memory, he did not have any recollection of Liu Yanchang's words of 'ruining his events'!
For a moment, Bu Feifan was confused. He stared at Liu Yanchang in confusion and asked in a deep voice," What is the big thing that Brother Liu is talking about? When did I ruin your plan?!”
When Liu Yanchang saw this, his eyes flickered as he chuckled." It seems like Brother Bu has unintentionally ruined my plans."”
As he spoke, he suddenly changed the topic and continued," However, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, Brother Bu has ruined my plan. This karma needs to be settled!”
" Huh?!"
Bu Feifan's heart sank when he heard that. He stared at Liu Yanchang and asked in a deep voice," How do you want to end this, Brother Liu?"!”
"I have put in a lot of effort for this great matter…"
Liu Yanchang's expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes revealed a fierce expression. He said," I was about to reap some benefits, but you accidentally messed it up. Not only did you make my painstaking plan go to waste, but you also delayed my master's time to prove his Divine Path…If I don't kill you, how can I end this karma?!”
"Amitabha!"
At this moment, Master Pushan suddenly spoke in a low voice and suggested," Venerable One, that seventh-grade holy poem just now was written by this person. It's a pity to kill such a great talent. Why don't we take him as a 'literary slave' to help Venerable One's path of cultivation?!”
" Huh?!"
Liu Yanchang's eyes lit up when he heard that. His eyes were filled with greed as he stared at Bu Feifan. He said happily," I didn't expect Brother Bu to be so talented!"”
"Since that's the case, I'll give Brother Bu a chance. As long as you consume this Buddhist Gu and become my slave, I can let bygones be bygones!”
As he spoke, Liu Yanchang flipped his right hand, and a strange white worm shrouded in a layer of golden light was hovering on his palm.
"Wen Nu? Buddha Gu?"
Hearing this, Bu Feifan's brows furrowed in confusion.
When Liu Yanchang saw this, he seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly laughed and said," I forgot that Brother Bu wasn't a Confucian cultivator and didn't know about these things.”
"Let me explain it to Brother Bu.”
As he spoke, Liu Yanchang began to explain the 'Wen Nu' and 'Buddha Gu.'
A moment later, after Liu Yanchang's explanation, Bu Feifan learned that this Buddha Gu was a Gu worm that had gained intelligence after listening to the recitation of scriptures by an eminent monk. If he consumed it, he would have to listen to the recitation of scriptures by the eminent monk once a month. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat or sleep. His body would be weak and painful, and his internal organs would be eaten by it. It would be a fate worse than death…
And this Wen Nu was actually a slave.
In this world, some Confucians would secretly use some methods to control some talented scholars or Confucians, making their literary talent work for them.
These controlled scholars or Confucians were known as 'literary slaves'.
As for how the Confucians could make use of the literary talent of the controlled scholars or Confucians, it was actually very simple.
For example, in the field of poetry, the Confucians could control the scholars or Confucians to break down the 'poems' they thought of into words and point them out word by word in the dictionary. Then, the controller would connect the words together and steal the poems they created through writing or reading.
The other arts such as zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were similar. They could also use some special methods to steal the works of controlled scholars or Confucian cultivators and make them their first works.
On the whole, a 'literary slave' was a slave who continuously provided poetry, songs, and other works to its 'master'!
And this 'Buddha Gu' was obviously Liu Yanchang's way of controlling Bu Feifan to become his 'literary slave'.
