Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan shook his head and said, "Innocent? The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, how can there be innocence? All forms, smells, sounds, tastes, touches, and laws are empty. The seven emotions and six desires are karmic entanglements. Life, death, shock, and injury are nothing but shackles. Only if you can see through them can you return to your sacred land of compassion. If you cannot see through them, you will be forever trapped in this mortal world!"

"You can take your time to think it over. Make your decision within three days!"

After saying that, Li Lan flicked his finger, releasing part of her cultivation, and then disappeared.

The long-lost spiritual power flowed through her body again, but at this moment, Cihang Saintess Miao Wuyu was stunned and frightened, feeling at a loss.

He killed Sister-in-law Xiang.

Kill Lele.

Did they kill all the children in her school?

At that moment, a chill ran through her, and she felt the spiritual energy flowing within her body was like the whisper of a demon…

"elder sister!"

Just then, Lele's voice came from outside the door. Miao Wuyu went over and saw Sister Xiang, Lele, and a group of poor people standing outside the door with their children.

"Mr. Wu, everyone heard that you're waiving tuition fees this year so your children can audit your classes, and they all want to thank you..."

Sister-in-law A-Xiang spoke with a complicated expression.

"Teacher Wu Yu, thank you. These are eggs laid by my chickens. There aren't many, but please accept them!"

An older woman handed over a basket of eggs.

"Teacher Wu, these are pumpkins I grew myself. They're very sweet when cooked. I'm giving them to you..."

A child of about six years old brought over a pumpkin.

"Mr. Wu Yu, thank you so much. I really have nothing to thank you with, so I'll just kowtow to you. You are truly a Bodhisattva incarnate, so kind-hearted!"

An elderly man, covered in patches, staggered to his knees, tears welling in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Yu was overwhelmed with emotions. Her eyes inexplicably reddened, and she quickly helped the old man up, saying, "Old man, don't do this... Wu Yu doesn't deserve your kneeling. These are just small favors."

"I appreciate everyone's kind intentions, but really, it's not necessary..."

She declined.

"Teacher Wu, please accept this!"

“Yes, Teacher Wu, you’ve been so good to us, and you still won’t accept our money. We’re heartbroken.”

A group of impoverished people began to speak up.

Sister Xiang also had tears in her eyes, saying, "Sister, please accept it. This is everyone's heartfelt gift..."

Wu Yu could no longer refuse, so they put all the things in the yard. Sister Xiang said, "Sister, you are such a good person. I knew you were a good person."

Sister-in-law Xiang was extremely gratified, realizing she hadn't helped the wrong person.

But Wu Yu remained silent.

Everyone had left, but the yard was far from empty. Eggs, peanuts, pumpkins... these things filled the yard, and filled her heart as well.

For the first time, she felt that her heart was too narrow, so narrow that after these unexpected events, she could no longer let go of anything, not even a Buddhist scripture or a Zen principle.

……

Day three.

"What? Aren't you going to make a move?"

Li Lan's calm voice, like an allure from the netherworld, rang out once more.

Miao Wuyu remained silent.

"Alright, how about we try a different approach?"

Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "Tonight, a band of bandits will come to plunder this town. As the Holy Maiden of Cihang, you should be able to see that life and death are meaningless. You just need to watch quietly, without moving, getting angry, or taking any action. If you do that, I will consider you the winner, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Wuyu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him!

……

That night.

"kill!"

"Brothers, this town has no cultivators left, it's all ours!"

"rush!"

A hundred bandits shattered the town's tranquility. Led by a low-level cultivator, they stormed into the town, and immediately, cries of agony filled the air.

"Ah, no!"

"Spare your life!"

"I'll give you money, please don't kill us..."

The townspeople were crying and pleading, but the bandits were vicious and cruel. The leader grinned and said, "Leave only the women, and wipe out the rest. Kill them all!"

With each swift stroke of the blade, one person after another was killed.

In the courtyard!

Miao Wuyu suddenly stood up, instinctively about to rush out, but Li Lan's voice rang out like a thunderclap:

"Think it through, and if you rush out, you will never be able to return to the Cihang Holy Land again, and you will never be the Cihang Holy Maiden again. For the rest of your life, you will only be a schoolteacher trapped by the mundane necessities of life here!"

"Think carefully whether you want to be the Holy Maiden Cihang or Teacher Wu Yu."

Her body was trembling, and an unprecedented hatred surged in her heart. She wished she could kill Li Lan immediately!

How could such a devil exist in this world?!

Pain... She felt pain she had never felt before, and her body was trembling slightly.

"Sister Wu Yu, run! Run! Bandits are coming!"

There was a rapid knocking at the door; Lele and Sister-in-law Xiang were calling her.

"stop!"

A rough, loud curse came from above; the bandits had arrived.

Wu Yu rushed forward and opened the door. Lele and Sister Xiang ran in, their faces filled with terror. They tried to close the door, but the two bandits had already kicked it open!

"Such a beautiful woman! Haha, guys, we're rich! I spotted her first, everyone line up!"

The bandit leader saw Miao Wuyu and his eyes lit up with joy.

Sister-in-law Xiang's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "No... she's a schoolteacher, Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

She stood before Wu Yu, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go with you. Please release my daughter and Mr. Wu Yu..."

"Who do you think you are!"

But the bandit suddenly stepped forward, stabbing Ah Xiang's sister-in-law in the chest with a knife, kicking her aside, and his lustful gaze fell on Miao Wuyu.

"Wu Yu...run...ah..."

Sister-in-law Xiang spoke pitifully, reaching out with difficulty to grab the bandit's foot, but the bandit swung his knife again, aiming to slash at her head!

However, before the blade could fall, the bandit was sent flying backward with a loud crash, his fate unknown...

At this moment, Miao Wuyu was trembling, her eyes filled with tears, staring at the bandits and saying, "You will all die, you will all die!"

She completely lost control, her figure approaching like a ghost, and the two bandits with knives were killed instantly!

She rushed into the street, and the hundreds of bandits in front of her were like chickens and dogs, being slaughtered instead!

"How could there possibly be cultivators in this place..."

The bandit leader let out a scream as she snapped his neck!

She was covered in blood, like a blood-soaked Bodhisattva. She turned around, looked at Li Lan standing in the shadows, and said, "Save them...save them!!"

"I know you can save them... I give up, I give up, I give up!"

She wept bitterly, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, the children who had brought her pumpkins and peanuts, the old man who had knelt before her... Tears streamed down her face, and she was filled with extreme regret. She shouldn't have hesitated, she shouldn't have acted so late!

"Kneel down."

Li Lan's voice, however, was extremely cold.

Without even hesitating, she knelt down before Li Lan and said, "Please... save them. I surrender. From now on, I will no longer be the Holy Maiden of Cihang. I am willing to fall into eternal damnation. I am willing to die in the mortal world—please, save them!"

Zhuanxu (颛顼), to prevent some students from not recognizing it, I'll type its pinyin.

Another day where I can't go fishing and can only stay home and update my blog.

Ugh, when will the weather clear up?! Damn it!
