The Otherworldly God

Chapter 12: Hall of Repentance

Before going to the Hall of Repentance, Yuhua went back to the dormitory to pack his bag. He looked back reluctantly. Although he had been bullied here, he was reluctant to leave now.

"I have been a Taoist apprentice for ten months. I am almost nine years old. There will be an assessment in three years. She has calculated the time right, right? No matter which world I am in, I have really received a lot of kindness from you."

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go to the Repentance Hall? You are not allowed to leave the hall for three years, and you are not allowed to study the law for three years. You will definitely not pass the test, you mediocre person."

"He is the one who bullies him most often, and he is also the one who pushes him into the water."

Le Zheng Yuhua looked at him, but he felt that Le Zheng Yuhua glared at him and pushed Le Zheng Yuhua in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you staring at me? I'm warning you, you're just a wild kid that Le Zheng picked up. I don't know if Senior Yang Yan is stupid, he actually picked up a mediocre person, ugh."

Le Zheng Yuhua clenched his fists. If it were in the past, he would have thrown a punch. Unlike Le Zheng Yuhua here, who was able to endure the pain, his endurance infected him.

Le Zheng Yuhua loosened his fist, threw the package over his shoulder and walked out. He was afraid that he would really not be able to help but punch him. At that time, Le Zhengfang probably couldn't protect himself.

The Hall of Repentance is located in the most remote place in the southwest corner. In name, it is a place to worship ancestors, but in reality it is just a gloomy and empty hall. Who would come here unless they were punished?

The road leading to the main hall alone was covered with weeds, and if you didn't look carefully you couldn't even tell there was a road.

Le Zheng Yuhua pushed aside the weeds on both sides, and soon, a huge hall appeared in front of him. Outside the hall, there stood a huge stone tablet with words engraved on it.

Le Zheng Yuhua walked over and saw that the words on it were a little blurry, it seemed that it was a few years old. The words in this world were different from those in his own world, but he had Le Zheng Yuhua's memories and knowledge here, so reading and writing were not a problem.

Touching it with his hand, Le Zheng Yuhua thought that this was not a known character. The characters used in this world now were somewhat similar to traditional Chinese characters, while the characters on this stone tablet looked like modern cursive.

He had come into contact with it in a tomb-robbing case, and Mu Xin was very interested in the Wang Xizhi calligraphy that he brought with him, so he learned modern cursive script for a period of time.

Relying on the feeling of his fingertips and the blurred strokes, Yue Zheng Yuhua read out word by word: "Confession: All the evil deeds committed in the past are caused by the endless greed, anger and ignorance, and are born from the body, speech and mind. Now I seek repentance in the temple. Sins arise from the heart, so repent with the heart. When the heart is extinguished, the sins will also disappear. When the heart is extinguished and the sins are extinguished, both are empty. This is called true repentance." There was also a signature on the side, which read: "Repent the sins of the heart by the heart."

"Wow, you actually understand this?"

Le Zheng Yuhua looked towards the top of the stone tablet following the sound, and he didn't know when a fair-skinned boy appeared lying on it, looking at him.

Seeing that the other party ignored him and walked into the hall, he quickly jumped down from the stone tablet, pointed at his back and said, "Qiming, stop this rude guy for me."

"You were the one who suddenly started talking to him, right? I won't stop you. If you want to stop him, do it yourself."

Only then did Le Zheng Yuhua realize that there was a person lying on the beam above his head. He had his hands on his head, a piece of grass in his mouth, one leg bent, and the other leg resting on top, shaking all the time.

"Break."

The beam broke and the boy fell down with it. Le Zheng Yuhua jumped back and avoided getting hurt.

"Ouch, my back, my butt."

"Hahaha, I told you not to listen to me, hum."

Le Zheng Yuhua looked over and took a closer look, only to find that it was a girl.

"You, an apprentice Taoist, used magic without permission and destroyed the Hall of Repentance, which has a history of thousands of years. Do you believe that you will lose your title of Apprentice Taoist?"

"Humph, we two no longer have any titles. As a free man, I have the right to use magic freely."

"As a member of the Lezheng tribe, you must obey."

The two of them suddenly burst into laughter and almost rolled on the ground.

"Newcomer? I've never seen you before. Whose child is he? Are you from Lezheng too?"

The girl finally turned her attention back to Le Zheng Yuhua. She didn't want to answer at first, but she still said her name out of politeness.

"Le Zheng Yuhua."

"Le Zheng Yu Hua?" She examined Le Zheng Yu Hua and said, "You are lying. I know everyone with the last name Le Zheng in Jimen Pass, but there is no one with the name Yu Hua. You don't look like you are only one or two years old. Tell the truth, or I will make you suffer."

"If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say."

"You...broken."

"Oh my aunt, are you going to kill me? Fortunately, your magic power is not high."

Le Zheng Yuhua turned sideways, and her magic just hit a man at the entrance of the hall, knocking him to the ground.

After getting up, he first brushed the dust off his body, and then was about to take a step, only to find the door was a mess. When he looked up, he didn't know what to do with his fingers.

"My dear aunt, this temple of repentance that has stood for thousands of years will be torn down sooner or later. I have told you so many times that you are not allowed to use magic. If outsiders knew that you had secretly learned so much, I would destroy you."

"You knew about it but didn't report it, so you bear joint responsibility."

"Oh, I'm really in a thankless situation." He saw Le Zheng Yuhua was stunned at first, then asked him with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"You are Master Zhi who manages the Hall of Repentance, right?"

Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since anyone had been so respectful and polite to him, and Le Zhengzhi was a little overwhelmed by it.

"Yeah."

"Le Zheng Yuhua has been sentenced to three years of reflection in the repentance hall."

"So you were also punished to come here. What did you do?"

"Leaving the city for a day and a night without permission and not returning."

"Master Zhi, this crime is much greater than mine and Qi Ming's, but he was only sentenced to three years? We were sentenced to five years, so we still have to accompany him for three years before we can get out. This is not fair."

"Whose crime is greater? You two haven't even started the apprentice Taoist examination yet, yet you sneaked into the trainee Taoist training ground to learn. If you hadn't lied and it was your first time, you would have been expelled long ago. Why would you be punished to repent here for five years?"

"But it's really boring here. It's either a bunch of incomprehensible words or something here and there. Nothing is fun."

"Don't just think about playing, go and fix it, both of you."

Le Zhengzhi knocked on their heads and pushed them.

"Me? Master Zhi, I am the victim."

“Joint liability.”

"Every time I am involved."

His ears were suddenly lifted up, and Qi Ming quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.

While the little girl was tidying up, she secretly glanced at Le Zheng Yuhua who was talking to Le Zhengzhi.

"Qiming, he actually understood the words on this stone tablet."

Le Zheng Qiming looked at her in surprise, and when he saw her nod in confirmation, he glanced at Le Zheng Yuhua.

"You understand all this? Come to think of it, I've never seen this person before."

"I don't know. Anyway, he's going to be with us for three years, so there's no need to worry about asking."

"It's all on you."

"Alas, men are unreliable."
