Day of Imprisonment

Among the Memory Retrievers present, it seemed that Luo Xi and the person with two knives stuck in him were the most unlucky.

One carried the karma of a big-headed monk, burdened and struggling to move; the other had two knives piercing his chest, like a performance artist.

This person also had a nickname, called 'The Undying'.

It seemed that the nicknames of the Memory Retrievers here corresponded to their profession cards, but whether that was actually true was unknown. For example, regarding the 'Undying' in front of him, Luo Xi didn't believe he was truly immortal.

That would be equivalent to violating the fundamental rules of the Day of Confinement.

Namely, death, cycle, and the inheritance of memory.

Although it was impossible to truly achieve immortality, he must be more 'resistant to death' than a normal person. The fact that he was still alive and kicking after being stabbed by two knives already illustrated the problem.

"Tell me, how are we so unlucky? We encountered the two worst possible sign interpretations. You're burdened with karma, and me? Heh, I can't avoid the disaster of bloodshed. I tried my best to prevent it, but I never expected to be stabbed twice. I'm truly speechless."

It was clear that the Undying was full of helplessness, his mouth filled with complaints.

"So, getting your kind of sign interpretation guarantees getting stabbed?" Luo Xi asked.

"Definitely. Sign interpretations are bound to happen, they're fate signs, meaning it's the will of fate. So, coming here has great benefits, but also great risks. Each time you worship Buddha, you have to pay with a card. If you don't make it to the final step, all the expenses are wasted." After the Undying finished speaking, he turned to look at Luo Xi: "I remember the last few times I came, I got the same sign interpretation as you have now. In the end, it exhausted me to death. I suggest you give up, at least you can cut your losses in time."

"Then, what happens if you obtain seven sign interpretations and go to the old monk?" Luo Xi asked at this moment.

He was very curious about this matter.

"Haha, you don't think you can easily obtain seven sign interpretations, do you? I see, it's your first time here, and you feel that the first few sign interpretations are easy to get, and you think that even carrying the karma monk, you can persist until you get seven sign interpretations. But I want to tell you, the truth is impossible. With the Three Bell Resonance, you probably won't even survive the first one." The Undying's eyes carried a hint of mockery, but thinking about his own situation, he guessed it was the same, and immediately sighed again.

"Three Bell Resonance?" Luo Xi knew that this might be the key point in Youzuo Temple.

"Ah, anyway, neither of us can survive it, so I'll tell you about it, consider it my act of charity." The Undying smiled, but probably because it involved his wound, his mouth twitched, and after a while, he said: "In this Youzuo Temple, there are actually only five Buddha worship points that can be directly found. In other words, under normal circumstances, you can't gather seven sign interpretations at all. And if you want to gather enough sign interpretations, you have to find some hidden Buddha worship points here. It is said that one is hidden in the Misty Mountains."

Luo Xi knew this.

He had just walked out of the Misty Mountains, and he had already triggered the Buddha worship point inside.

"And to trigger the Misty Mountains, you must have the corresponding sign interpretation, named: Moderate Luck, Clouds Part to Reveal the Path Ahead, Demons and Monsters Hide Within. However, there are many types of sign interpretations, whether you can get this one depends on luck, but even if you get it, it's not a good thing. Once you enter the Misty Mountains, it's difficult to get out."

After a pause, the Undying shifted to a more comfortable position, looking like a dying man.

"Besides the Misty Mountains, there is also a sign interpretation that can allow you to enter a hidden area, like a dry well. But I've never been there, I've only heard people say that going down is a near-death experience. Even if there is a Buddha worship point below, it's best not to go. But if you get the sign interpretation, I'm afraid you have to go."

"Then there's the Three Bell Resonance. The first bell will ring soon, and when that happens, the situation will change, and the Buddha statues in the Buddha hall will come out and forcibly exchange sign interpretations with the closest person. Remember, it's forcibly. In addition, they may also ask a question, and you must answer truthfully. So do you know why experienced people stay here during the first bell? Because this is the place of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the survival rate with this deity is relatively higher. Do you understand now?"

How could Luo Xi not understand? Moreover, he knew that this information was quite valuable.

He guessed that it was because the other party knew that both of them had completely no chance in this round, and felt a sense of shared suffering, that he said it.

"Thank you for the reminder, Undying Bro."

Luo Xi thanked him. He changed his posture, but it was clear that it didn't do much to alleviate the huge pressure on his back.

"No need to thank me. Speaking of which, I've come to this place three times, and I haven't gained any benefits. Everyone knows that Youzuo Temple can make a fortune if you do it right. It seems I heard that there are hidden profession card clues here, but I haven't seen anything. All three times were losing trades. Ah, I won't come next time."

It was clear that the Undying was a little disheartened.

"Not necessarily, maybe things will turn around," Luo Xi said at this time.

He said this based on his consistent way of doing things.

Even if the King of Hell said he wanted to kill him, Luo Xi would find a way to fight back.

He would never sit still and wait for death.

After looking at Luo Xi for three seconds, he laughed and said, "Don't mess around."

"I'm not messing around. I'm really going to exchange with you?" Luo Xi looked sincere.

This time, the Undying's expression turned serious, and then he looked at the big-headed monk behind Luo Xi: "If you use this to exchange with me, then it's meaningless. Being burdened with karma and the disaster of bloodshed are recognized as guaranteed death sign interpretations. Am I going to switch from one guaranteed death to another guaranteed death? Is there any point?"

"No need to exchange with that one, don't worry." Luo Xi then took out a fortune stick and handed it over: "I'll exchange with this one."

The Undying One's eyes lit up upon seeing it.

What Luo Xi took out was indeed not 'Burdened by Sin,' but another one. Although it was a very unlucky fortune, it wasn't the worst one recognized.

It was a very unlucky fortune: 'Dreaming of treasure, waking up with nothing; claiming to only be weeding the Southern Mountain.'

Relatively speaking, it was much better than the 'Average Fortune' on his body, which said, 'Bloody disaster is unavoidable; turn back and cultivate early.'

At least there was still a chance.

"Are you really going to exchange with me?" The Undying One was a little incredulous, thinking, 'Is this person's brain not working properly? 'Burdened by Sin' is already certain death, but this guy actually wants to take on 'Bloody Disaster' too.'

If he wasn't mentally ill, why would he be so single-mindedly courting death?

"I just want to see what happens when two of the worst fortunes are put together," Luo Xi said with a serious face, but in the eyes of the Undying One, this guy was really sick, and seriously so.

But, why not exchange?

The other party was sick, courting death, so what did that have to do with him?

Moreover, no matter how the Undying One thought about it, he felt that as long as he exchanged, he would definitely not lose, but would gain.

At least he could get rid of the annoying 'Bloody Disaster' fortune, so this cycle day, he would still have a chance.

"Okay, you said it, don't go back on your word," the Undying One nodded.

Luo Xi smiled innocently: "Come, give me a hand."

The Undying One stepped forward, helped Luo Xi climb down from the tree trunk, and then walked tremblingly towards the futon over there.

The actions of the two naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding Reminiscents.

"What are they going to do?"

"I don't know, this pair of unfortunate brothers, they're really unlucky, actually getting one of the worst fortunes each. Could it be that they agreed to commit suicide?"

"Ha, whatever it is, just watch the show."

"But that Undying One has some skill, his strength isn't weak."

Under the curious gaze of the crowd, the Undying One helped Luo Xi walk to the Buddha-worship point, and then each took out a fortune stick.

"Are they planning to exchange fortunes?" Someone immediately saw the clue.

"They're both doomed to die, what's the point of exchanging? Isn't this taking off your pants to fart?"

"Do you think they're going to exchange 'Burdened by Sin' and 'Bloody Disaster'?"

"Is there any point? Changing from one way to die to another?"

The actions of the two successfully attracted the attention of all the Reminiscents present, and everyone gathered around, curiously watching.

"No way, the Undying One really handed over 'Bloody Disaster,' so what about that person? He's not exchanging with 'Burdened by Sin'?" Old Jin was very surprised when he saw this, feeling that Luo Xi was crazy.

"Ha, I understand, the Undying One must have used other costs to make this exchange, and that young man also knows how to make up for the loss, probably reaching a compensation agreement in private. The Undying One paid more cards in exchange for the other party taking on the 'Bloody Disaster' fortune. After all, since they're both going to die anyway, what does it matter if there's one more way to die? He can still make a small profit, so he won't lose anyway," a clever person immediately thought of the most likely possibility.

"Indeed, only this explanation makes sense."

The crowd suddenly understood.

At this time, Luo Xi had already completed the exchange with the Undying One.

Luo Xi used the very unlucky fortune, 'Dreaming of treasure, waking up with nothing; claiming to only be weeding the Southern Mountain,' to exchange for the other party's 'Average Fortune,' 'Bloody disaster is unavoidable; turn back and cultivate early.'

In this way, Luo Xi's fortune sticks no longer included the very unlucky fortune, but were all 'Average Fortune' and 'Excellent Fortune.'

After the Undying One exchanged fortunes with Luo Xi, the two knives on the Undying One's body disappeared without a trace, which naturally made the Undying One ecstatic, feeling like he had escaped from death.

"Brother, no matter what, I acknowledge you as a friend. If you need help next time, just say it," the Undying One said happily, and Luo Xi was also very satisfied: "You said that, in front of the Buddha, you can't lie."

"Ha, of course, of course." The Undying One was just being polite, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously. However, he also knew that he couldn't casually agree to other people's matters in this place, otherwise, he might really shoot himself in the foot.

In the next moment, Luo Xi was affected by the 'Bloody Disaster' fortune.

Two knives suddenly appeared from behind him, and then stabbed down fiercely.

The effect of the fortune stick cannot be avoided, nor can it be dodged.

Of course, Luo Xi didn't think about dodging either.

With two '噗嗤' sounds, the knives pierced into the body.

It's just that they didn't stab Luo Xi, but stabbed the Sin of the Big-Headed Monk.

Because this Big-Headed Monk was lying on Luo Xi's back.

In addition, this guy had a big head and a thick neck, and his stomach wasn't small either. Because of the position, these two knives directly stabbed the other party's head and stomach.

But neither of them pierced through.

The knives were not long.

Luo Xi had carefully observed just now, and estimated that they were two short knives, and the blade length would not exceed one foot.

As for the Sin of the Big-Headed Monk, with his big head and thick neck, Luo Xi estimated that even if he could pierce through the other party's body, the knife body that could stab himself would not exceed a few centimeters, so it wasn't a big problem.

At worst, he could use an [Anesthetic] to relieve the pain.

For Luo Xi, adding two deadly fortunes together at the same time was an interesting experiment.

He wanted to know if the knife of 'Bloody Disaster' could pierce the Sinful Big-Headed Monk, and whether the Big-Headed Monk would be stabbed to death by the knife.

Of course, there was another reason, which was because of the fortune stick he obtained at the Buddha-worship point of the Future Maitreya Buddha in the Bewitching Mist.

An Excellent Fortune: 'From adversity to prosperity is just around the corner; a spirited gentleman emerges from the mountain.'
