I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong Chapter 288 288: 252

Huilong Village experienced several villager deaths as soon as they arrived, and Elder Ran initially ca to demand an explanation from the temple priest Wu.

However, unexpectedly, the temple priest Wu's presence was even more imposing, causing Elder Ran's anger to be instantly suppressed.

"Fine, I won't stay in Gongming Village, I'll take my people and go back."

Elder Ran knew that temple priest Wu was in the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, and this place was under the jurisdiction of Wuliang Mountain.

Asking him for justice was bound to be futile.

But no sooner had he stepped out of the temple gate than he heard the cold laughter of temple priest Wu:

"After worshipping the Gongming God, did you think you could co and go as you please? I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, as long as you don't offer incense to Gongming God, he will find you one day."

Seeing Elder Ran turn around and glare at him, temple priest Wu sighed and softened his tone, "Elder Ran, listen to my advice. For your own safety and that of the villagers, it's better to stay."

Elder Ran angrily replied: "Stay for what, stay to die? How many days can our people feed those Walking Corpses?"

"As long as you offer incense daily and pay tribute with pigs and sheep, Gongming God will not harm you."

After saying this, temple priest Wu said, "Whether you believe it or not, I can only say that what happened this early morning was an accident."

Elder Ran certainly did not believe the words of temple priest Wu, but he also feared that leaving Gongming Village would only worsen the situation.

Caught in this dilemma, Tian Lin spoke up, "Temple priest Wu, you have always been in this temple, have you seen how Gongming God ca out of this big sedan?"

Tian Lin rembered that the sedan was well-sealed. Logically, it would be difficult for the Walking Corpse to escape from inside it.

Yet, the reality was, although the Array Patterns on the big sedan were still intact, the iron chains binding it had snapped.

If it wasn't soone untying the ropes from the outside, how much strength would the Walking Corpse need to break through the Sealing Array Patterns and snap the iron chains?

"Actually, there's no need to hide anything about this matter."

Temple priest Wu looked at Tian Lin and asked him, "Tian, do you know how the old Clan Leader of our Wu family died?"

Tian Lin shook his head. Outsiders all knew the old Clan Leader was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and his death was sowhat mysterious.

But the Wu family insisted that the old Clan Leader died a natural death, so outsiders dared not speculate wildly.

"Our old Clan Leader was actually killed by the Wuliang God."

He revealed to Tian Lin and Elder Ran:

"Thousands of years ago, my Wu family was even more wretched than the people of Gongming Village nowadays. At that ti, our Clan Leader was just a twelfth-tier Qi Refining cultivator, and we didn't even bear the Wu surna then."

He finished speaking and took out the iron chains from his Storage Bag and began wrapping them around the big sedan.

Tian Lin and Elder Ran watched temple priest Wu's back and listened as he continued:

"The real Wu surna belonged to the Wuliang God. He wasn't highly cultivated in life, only at the level of early-stage Foundation Establishnt.

However, a small-scale cultivator nad Huahua Lang was nothing significant in the Great Qi dynasty, but in the countryside, he was conniving and a local bully.

This local bully, Landlord Wu, abused his cultivation to commit all kinds of evil, bullying n and won alike. In a very short ti, he seized spirit fields, stole wives, and had lots of dutiful children and grandchildren."

Although temple priest Wu spoke of Landlord Wu's evil deeds, he held no resentnt towards him.

Don't even ntion him, Tian Lin and Elder Ran could not harbor any hatred towards Landlord Wu either.

After all, Landlord Wu from a thousand years ago was no different from those flashy lads today.

Everyone had seen too much and had grown accustod to the oddities.

"However, the moon has its phases, and people have their fortune and misfortune. In this world, who can remain successful forever?"

At this point, the temple priest had already tied up the sedan chair, and not only that, he had also affixed talisman paper and placed nurous seals on it.

"Just when Landlord Wu was at the height of his pride, a young hero suddenly arrived at the Wu Family Village. This young hero, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, killed Landlord Wu after a fierce battle.

Had the family of Landlord Wu not arrived in ti, his body would have been completely reduced to ashes. By then, even becoming a dried corpse would have been impossible."

Hearing this, Tian Lin suddenly interrupted the temple priest and asked him, "Landlord Wu had Early-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation, did his family mbers also possess cultivation of the Foundation Establishnt Realm?"

While lighting incense, the temple priest explained: "The temple priest was the highest cultivator in the Wu family at that ti, his family mbers were all Qi Refining cultivators."

Tian Lin said: "That's strange then! That young hero who killed Landlord Wu must have been a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Even if he was seriously injured from the fierce battle with Landlord Wu, it should have been impossible for him to be challenged by Qi Refining cultivators.

How could Landlord Wu's family have stopped that young hero from burning the corpse?"

Elder Ran also agreed at this point: "Exactly, Foundation Establishnt and Qi Refinent are like a great chasm. Even if a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator is heavily injured, they cannot be trifled with by a Qi Refining cultivator.

Temple priest, your story is full of holes, you must think us fools."

The temple priest turned around, scoffed, and said:

"A Foundation Establishnt Cultivator heavily wounded indeed can't be trifled with by a Qi Refining cultivator. However, that young hero had only a twelfth-tier Qi Refining cultivation at that ti. His killing of Landlord Wu was a death-exchange tactic.

If he couldn't save himself in ti, that young hero might not have been able to save his own life, let alone fight with Landlord Wu's family."

Elder Ran exclaid, "That's even more impossible! How could a Qi Refining cultivator possibly kill a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator? It's as absurd as an ant killing a giant tiger."

After thinking for a mont, Tian Lin asked the temple priest, "Could it be that the young hero used so Magical Treasure or so cunning strategy?"

The temple priest shook his head, "That young hero only used an iron sword, he didn't use any Magical Treasures."

Tian Lin smiled and remained silent.

He achieved Foundation Establishnt through the Five Elents, having cultivated multiple spells during his Qi Refinent stage, and had never feared anyone of the sa realm.

Even so, he had never thought of challenging a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator during his Qi Refinent stage because that was an impossible task.

"Could it be that the cultivators from a thousand years ago were different from today's cultivators?"

The temple priest didn't respond to Tian Lin's comnt and continued:

"After that young hero killed Landlord Wu, Wu's family encased his body in a coffin and handed it over to a group of Crying Spirits to manage."

Elder Ran said, "Are you suggesting that the people of Wu Family Village today are the descendants of those Crying Spirits?"

The temple priest nodded and said: "Indeed, actually our Wu Family Village took over the wealth from the Wu family at that ti, promising to guard the spirit of Landlord Wu through generations.

Over ti, as we guarded the spirit for long, Landlord Wu gradually beca a deity, and our ancestors simply changed their surna to 'Wu', thus creating the current land of mass burial Wu family and the present Wuliang Mountain!"

The temple priest said to Elder Ran, "Elder Ran, what's so bad about guarding a spirit? Our Wu Family has gained our current strength because of it.

If your Ran Family continues to guard spirits, who knows if you might beco a Golden Core lineage in the future."
