After the Full-Level Boss Entered the Infinite Game By Mistake

Chapter 148.1 - Strange Yanwang Town

“Mengpo has to sit at the head of Naihe Bridge every day, making Mengpo soup. She can’t leave even for a moment, so it can’t be her.”

“But we still need to investigate.”

Bai Lixin thought for a moment, “In that case, then I…”

“Don’t even think about it,” Dijia frowned, his tone uncompromising, “You are a living person, and although I don’t know how you entered the world of living souls, that is the limit. Don’t try to step into the underworld again, it won’t do you any good.”

Dijia: “This issue is not your concern; find your companion and get out of here.”

Bai Lixin didn’t continue to insist on seeing how strong Dijia’s attitude was, and looked back at the monk’s golden body: “What about this?”

Dijia glanced at the golden body and said, “Leave it to me.”

He moved closer to the golden body, and his eyes scanned it from top to bottom.

Although the body had shriveled up into a dry corpse, it could be seen from the facial bones that the monk used to look good.

There was a lotus mark on the monk’s brow, which should have been white but was now dull and dark because the corpse had dried out.

Bai Lixin carefully looked at the body, and his line of sight stopped at the mouth. “He seems to have something in his mouth.”

Dijia came over and also half crouched down to observe the golden thread at the corner of the monk’s mouth.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Lixin reached out and grabbed the monk’s chin, breaking the mouth with a forceful wrench and exposing the balled-up stuff in his mouth.

Dijia reached out for it, but the moment his fingers touched the object, a needle-like pain immediately assaulted his fingertips.

A golden light burst forth, instantly sending Dijia flying away.

Dijia nimbly turned mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.

Bai Lixin was surprised by the strange situation just now. Dijia came back beside him, his gaze looking more serious: “It’s the Buddha’s light shelter.”

Through the faint moonlight outside, Bai Lixin vaguely saw the full appearance of the mass. It was a golden square cloth with a delicate and blooming lotus flower embroidered on one side, and a Buddha’s seal on the other.

It was not clear whether the cloth had just been put in, or whether it had been in the monk’s mouth when he separated his soul from his body, but the cloth was very bright and thick, with that golden color unique to the Buddhist sect.

Bai Lixin stared at the golden square cloth in the monk’s mouth and asked, “What is the significance of this?”

Dijia pursed his lips and said, “There is a saying in Buddhism that if you have Buddha in your heart, then Buddha will bless you at all times. If my guess is right, this square cloth should be blessed. If you hold it in your mouth, your mouth cannot be opened even though your soul is out of its shell. Buddha will bless the lotus flower, and Buddha’s light will shine forth, sheltering the golden body.”

Bai Lixin: “You mean that although this monk’s soul is out of his body, his physical body will always be protected?”

Dijia: “Mmm.”

The man’s deep gaze was somewhat troubled as he stared at the dry corpse before him, ” Buddha’s light is our nemesis, and I cannot touch his body.”

Bai Lixin: “What a coincidence! You can’t touch it, but I can.”

With that, Bai Lixin hit the monk’s head twice, and it immediately made a muffled “bang, bang” sound.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations player! You have obtained a golden body x1. Friendly reminder: In this copy, the saint’s golden body is a great tonic; eat it, and you can live forever.]

[Another friendly reminder: This object can be placed in the system backpack.]

Dijia was just about to say something like “don’t trouble yourself” when he saw the corpse before him suddenly disappear.

The man’s handsome face was slightly dumbfounded, his mouth was slightly open in surprise, and it was two seconds before Dijia spoke hesitantly: “A spatial retrieval? You’re not an ordinary person; who are you?”

His expression grew serious, and although his gaze looked inquisitive, it was not wary.

A Taoist priest?

But he did not sense any cultivation from him.

Was he a monk?

But there was no Buddhist power in the young man either.

His whole body was clean, he was simply an ordinary person.

The system’s voice rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind.

[Ding!]

After that, the top of Bai Lixin’s taskbar had a golden task progress bar that was completely different from the other white-colored tasks.

[Keeping Secrets]: Progress 1/8.]

Bai Lixin glanced at the sharp-eyed Dijia for a moment, pretended to stretch his hand into the air, then made a light tugging motion, and in the next second, a jade tile appeared in his hand.

“I was weak and sickly as a child, and easily attracted unclean things. My family sent me to live with a Taoist priest in the mountains for several years to learn some Taoist arts.” Bai Lixin began to make things up: “But the masters said I didn’t have anything like wisdom or spiritual roots and told me I couldn’t do anything, but after years of learning, I learned to scry things with one hand.”

“Although I didn’t learn any real skills during those years, I still remember what my masters taught me after I left the mountain. They told me to punish evil and promote good, and I dare not forget!”

“If it wasn’t for this spell, I wouldn’t have known where to put all those jade tiles I received at Yama’s Temple. I really have to thank Lord Yama for his generosity.”

When he finished, he blushed and glanced at Dijia. “Do you believe me? I’m just a waste; will you look down on me?”

Dijia was already emotional. He looked at the young man, who was on the verge of tears, with tender eyes he had never used before in his life, and asked, “Is that why you disregarded your safety and tried to marry in place of that living soul? It was to punish evil and promote good.”

The man’s eyes gradually changed and became distressed.

The boy is too kind; he’s so good and fragile.

God gave him the most perfect appearance and the purest heart, but a body that could not manifest his ambitions.

Dijia put his hand on the young man’s wrist, and sure enough, the young man had no powers at all.

People are born unequal, and it was truly heartbreaking that the young man had encountered so much since birth but still managed to keep such a kind heart.

Dijia looked like he was moved to the point of tears, and Bai Lixin gave a dry laugh: “Yes, yes. That fake King Yama has done a lot of evil; although living souls are dead, they still have souls, and they will also get sad and cry when hurt. The false King Yama has gone too far by forcibly taking them away again and again.”

“And what is even more outrageous is that he takes them in King Yama’s name; how can he bring shame to King Yama? He is the refuge of all the souls of the underworld.”

‘Is all this nonsense enough?’

Would the other party believe him even if he said he was a reincarnation of the Jade Emperor?

Bai Lixin’s dry smile looked forced when it reached Dijia’s eyes, and the man was even more distressed.

Dijia’s chest warmed up as he felt the other party defend him word for word, as if there were a hot stream spilling out of it uncontrollably. His eyes blazed as he looked at Bai Lixin: “Do you really want to catch the fake King Yama?”

Bai Lixin nodded vigorously: “Yes, I really want to!”

Whether he wanted to or not, his persona was already set, so could he still say “no”?

Dijia thought about it for a while, and nodded, “Okay, then I will help you.”

Bai Lixin: “What?”

Dijia: “I will help you find out who the fake King Yama is.”

He was the king of the underworld, and although he didn’t care about the world outside it, the young man wanted it, so it wasn’t impossible to take care of it once in a while.

“This is my token.” Dijia took out a pure black, palm-sized token from his pocket and gave it to Bai Lixin. “Just call out my name to the token, and I will appear before you.”

“I am usually busy with official duties, and although I cannot protect you all the time, I will appear if you need me.”

Bai Lixin took the metallic token, which was cold to the touch and oozing with a sense of majesty.

The moment he received the token, the system prompt suddenly rang out.
