Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

The story of "The Seven Killings Stele" continues—

Fu Ji found the "Unbeliever" among the seven villains. His name was Liang Guan, and he was cunning and treacherous. He had someone impersonate him.

When the spear pierced through the man's body, Fu Ji realized something was wrong. Following the clue of this vengeful spirit, she found Liang Guan, who had given gold and silver to the deceased's family, and caused his death.

Finally, she went to find Song Zhang.

This is the most "rude person" in the world. Her actions are unconventional. She once slammed her fist on the table and laughed wildly at someone else's funeral. She also openly disregarded the imperial court, bringing a pheasant to court and demanding that all officials give up their positions so that this beast could govern the country on behalf of everyone. This has drawn countless criticisms and condemnations.

This person truly lives up to his reputation for being rude.

Soldiers outside the city stood ready for battle, as if a great war was imminent. Yet, this city lord, who had been demoted, actually closed her garden to watch a play.

The palace was guarded in layers upon layers.

Unable to find an opportunity to strike, Fu Ji had no choice but to hide in the tree canopy and "listen" to the whole scene.

He couldn't hear the lyrics, but he could see people coming and going. Fu Ji saw that the people in the play seemed to be fighting over a golden Buddha.

In the play, the person who has the upper hand is very arrogant. He has a domineering manner, holding a token and beating a gong and drum to order the blindfolded knight to kill all his opponents who are competing with him for the golden Buddha.

The last person the knight-errant killed, with his last breath, managed to remove the blindfold from the knight-errant's eyes.

In an instant, the scene of blood flowing like a river came into the eyes of the swordsman.

The man who banged the gong and drum to command the knights had a sinister smile on his face. He stood in the pool of blood, smug and triumphant, and became the final winner.

At the end of the play, he picked up the golden Buddha and smashed it heavily on the ground. It turned out that the pure gold Buddha statue that caused the dispute was actually fake. Upon closer inspection, the broken stone core inside bore a resemblance to the blindfolded swordsman.

After watching the play, Song Zhang slapped the table in admiration, drank three large cups of wine, and returned home drunk.

Fu Ji was pure of heart, and because she was deaf, she did not understand the true meaning of the play. Even so, this performance of "The Golden Buddha" still moved her.

But Song Zhang had already gotten up, and Fu Ji had no time to think about it.

She followed closely behind, chasing after him through the deserted street, her red-tasseled spear flying from her hand, ready to end Song Zhang's life from behind.

But then the woman in front of him suddenly turned around.

The pale, desolate white dress, like the mourning clothes she had prepared for herself, was stained with crimson flowers in the night, their petals unfurling outwards, blooming wildly, alluring and dazzling, just like the smile on Song Zhang's lips.

Under Fu Ji's slightly moved gaze, Song Zhang stretched out his palm and grabbed her hand.

It seemed as if they wanted to tear off the cloth covering her eyes.

What is Song Zhang saying?

Fu Ji's gaze froze, carefully discerning the three words she kept repeating before she died—

"Mute, deaf...blind."

A dreamlike stroll through the garden has finally come to an end.

Fu Ji sheathed her red-tasseled spear and remained silent for a long time. Because she was mute, no one knew what she was thinking.

She simply spurred her horse and galloped away into the distance.

The End

"Is this the end?!"

In front of the Ink Trace Bookstore, someone threw down a book and shouted curses, seemingly finding the article absurd and nonsensical, with no beginning and no end.

"Give me my money back! What kind of nonsense is this?!"

But some people seemed thoughtful. An old lady, holding a book, flipped through a few pages, beaming with delight. This person was none other than Master Fang, who was traveling. Upon hearing this, she smiled and said:

"As the saying goes, they're calling us blind!"

"You old woman, what nonsense are you spouting? I think you're the one who's blind. It's said that this book is absurd, but where does it say that the people are blind?"

Sect Leader Fang shook his head, gave him a pitying look, and did not want to argue with the blind man.

The Seven Killings Stele explains what the imperial court, the nation, and monarchs are, making it easy to understand.

However, in the cultivation world, such a system cannot be implemented. Since there are cultivators, it is destined that the real power holders will not be ordinary people. At most, they can only obtain a respectable position as clerks or managers through the examination and test of the city management office.

But everything is interconnected.

Even in a world where only mortals exist, there will inevitably be struggles for power, territory, and resources.

That Seven Killings Stele was the excuse used by City Lord Fu Xian to seize the treasure.

There is a hidden plot in this book, *The Seven Killings Stele*.

All the clues in the text indicate that the so-called "court" is incompetent. When the cold disaster strikes, the people suffer. The city lord is concerned about the people's livelihood but sees no help from above. He appoints an immoral person to govern the country. Just look at the unjust Wang Pang, and you can see that the factional struggle is fierce.

Even more egregiously, Song Zhang brought a pheasant to court, intending to belittle the officials' incompetence and deem them worse than animals, which ultimately led to his demotion by the emperor.

What Fu Xian wanted to do was to use the "will of Heaven" to overthrow the court he was dissatisfied with and take its place as the new monarch.

The text mentions that—

Yongzhou was originally a place of pleasure, but when Fu Ji left, the travelers looked tense and the doors were tightly shut.

While Song Zhang was watching the play in the garden, the area outside the city was also on high alert, as if something was about to happen.

All of this indicates that chaos has arisen and rebels could attack at any time.

The so-called "Seven Evils" must include some truly evil people, but most of them are just Fu Xian's side of the story. Readers can only follow Fu Ji, who cannot hear, to see this world and cannot know the whole picture.

These seven villains, whose morality is difficult to discern, are indeed all people of high rank and power.

Kings, generals, officials, city lords...

If Fu Xian were to start a rebellion, these people might become obstacles and his enemies. Therefore, he needs Fu Ji to eliminate these seven villains.

Master Fang heard someone sigh and say:

"Unable to hear, unable to speak, unable to see, and driven like an arm, this Fu Ji is not like a human being at all; he is clearly another Seven Killings Stele!"

"Just look at what purpose Fu Xian has, and you'll know what use this person and this stone tablet will be!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him.

A scholar-like man suddenly realized what was going on and said:

"That's right! The Seven Killings Stele in the book's title doesn't refer to that stone stele at all, but rather to the talismanic records within the text!"

She and it serve exactly the same purpose.

The scholar was so anxious that he paced back and forth, scratching his head and cheeks, as if he was feeling uneasy all over. He had a thousand words in his heart that he had to say.

"No, no, Fu Ji has finally come to her senses from being a stubborn, ignorant rock, and Song Zhang has finally cleared away the illusion before her. She is about to see clearly the chaotic world her brother has created..."

"How come the whole book is over already!"

"And then there's that unwise person, Aru. She's not foolish at all; she's clearly the most insightful person in the world. She saw that war was about to break out and the people would suffer. She saw that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. She also saw that Fu Ji was just a stubborn rock that had been deceived and manipulated..."

"And then there's that disbelieving Liang Guan, who actually kept his promise and sent gold and silver to the family of the person who died in his place; and that unjust Wang Pang, what did he say before he died, that he could have caused Fu Ji to miss this opportunity to be enlightened because of the difference in dialects!"

"Especially Song Zhang, she used a dream in the garden to awaken the stubborn and heartless Fu Ji. The most impolite person in the world is clearly the most unrestrained and unconventional person!"

The scholar muttered to himself as he circled the area three times, anxiously running around in circles. Finally, he stopped and said:

"no!

"I need to give 'The Seven Killings Stele' a proper ending!"
