Ch 8: Great Clarity?

The blood on the ground has seeped into the floor, which is difficult to handle.

Xun Xie thought for a while, then turned and walked to the stove, took out the ashes from the bottom of the pot, and sprinkled it on the blood-stained floor.

The ash at the bottom of the pot quickly absorbed the blood and became damp.

Xun Xie swept it with a broom, it wasn’t sparkly clean or not visible, but it was much cleaner, and it wasn't so bloody.

Afterward, Xun Xie fetched water and scrubbed the floor once, until it was clean and no traces were visible, and then he stopped.

As for mosquito nets and quilts, there are no substitutes for the time being.

Xun Xie was so tired that he wanted to rest for a while, but suddenly he heard a donkey braying again. The animal seemed to be hungry.

"I'm a little hungry too."

Xun Xie walked towards the donkey with the sickle and found that he was thin, with little meat on his body, and he couldn't help sighing.

"This donkey can be used as a mount, so let's keep it first." Xun Xie turned around and walked towards the grass, cut the grass with a sickle, and brought it back to feed the donkey.

With grass, the donkey really stopped being noisy.

Xun Xie also started cooking, ate a full meal, then locked the door and fell asleep.

At night.

I don't know what dream he had, Xun Xie was sweating all over his body, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat.

At a certain moment, he woke up.

It was dark in the temple, and it was already late at night.

Sitting in the dark, Xun Xie heard the humming of a donkey in the distance, and suddenly he didn't feel so lonely anymore.

After a long time, he slowly lay down and fell asleep again, this time he slept more peacefully.

Three days later.

After two days of landing on the empty slots, if he didn’t ‘win’ this time he might burst a blood vessel.

Xun Xie finished his meal, cut the grass to feed the donkey, and then spun the wheel.

whi!

whi!

“You spun the lottery wheel and won Great Clarity."

“Duration: 1 day.”

“Critical activated: Double critical obtained.”

“Great Clarity is doubled in effectiveness.”

It's this broken ability again. Clarity? What’s supposed to be clear, greatness?

And double critical? Why not ten thousand? How poor pah!

It stands to reason that Treasure Seeker is fully functional, what’s the issue with this one?

Thinking of this, Xun Xie sighed and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's think about it in the future."

After these few days of living, he has gained a firm foothold and accumulated a lot of survival materials.

Next, you can further expand the scope of life, contact more people, and explore and understand the reality of this world. His food was also running low, he could eat what was there, but he came from the 21st century after all, no internet was punishment enough, no meat was a ten thousand critical! He refused not to eat meat.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Especially when he’s probably rich. Should he just leave the money to look at when he’s bored? He wasn’t a giant dragon!

"A world with a man-eating bodhisattva is absolutely wonderful." Xun Xie quickly became energetic.

The next exploration goal:

Walk out of Novice Village and head to Blue Grain Town.

Get Meat. Meat. Meat.

Thoughts become actions; Xun Xie cleans up.

He dug a pit and buried valuables such as silver liangs, wild ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum. He only carried copper coins divided into bags and hidden out of plain sight, a bamboo basket, and a sickle. There was no alternative, if their efficacy suffered it was out of his hands.

Close the gate of the temple.

Xun Xie looked at his own land temple, his first real estate, and turned around and left without hesitation, mounted a donkey, and walked along the mountain road.

He had resolved himself in these few days. He couldn't stay cooped up forever. His cheats might also be effective with people so he needed them for testing. The world was always dangerous even back on earth you could be robbed or meet a very unlucky accident.

Xun Xie shivered remembering the time he was curious and followed the crowd to an accident scene, the loose eyeball, peeled-off face, bones poking through the skin on the damaged bike...

What a horrible way to go!

Xun Xie regained his bearings and once again continued on his donkey.

There is only one path out of this valley.

Xun Xie was looking at it as he walked. After walking about seven or eight miles, three roads suddenly appeared in front of him, causing him to be in trouble.

"Well, this road is the widest..."

Based on common sense, Xun Xie judged that this wide road should lead to a place with many people.

"Little donkey, go here." Xun Xie clamped his legs together, and the donkey started to move.

But the situation ahead made Xun Xie extremely speechless.

After walking for less than a few miles, there were three fork roads ahead again, and two of them were about the same width.

"What's the situation, why are there crossroads everywhere?" Xun Xie looked left and right. Which idiot, no which group of idiots was responsible for this?

Soon.

Xun Xie's eyes narrowed, and he saw a middle-aged man with dark complexion, wearing a bamboo hat, a pole on his shoulders, carrying two bundles of firewood, walking down the north road.

Xun Xie held the sickle subconsciously, with a smile on his face, got off the back of the donkey, and waved, "This uncle, I'm lost, can I ask you for directions?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Xun Xie, wiped his sweat, and finally stopped.

"Young man, which village do you belong to? This place is known as the 'nine turns and eighteen bends'. Those who are not familiar with the road conditions will inevitably get lost." The middle-aged man took off his hat and fanned some wind.

"I'm going to Blue Grain Town, I came from the village over there." Xun Xie said.

The middle-aged man followed Xun Xie's finger and looked at the circuit, and suddenly said: "So you came from 'Yin Village', that village is the most sheltered place in the ten miles and eight villages."

Afterward, he gestured with both hands for a while, turning left, right, right, then left, and at the end was Blue Grain Town.

Xun Xie listened carefully, a map gradually appeared in his mind.

Then, Xun Xie passed the middle-aged man and rode a donkey onto a wide road.

Later, he met three more people, an old hunchback man and a pair of husband and wife, who came from "Rattle Village".

Xun Xie asked them for directions, and the answer he got was basically the same as that of the middle-aged man, and the map in his mind became clearer.

Just like that, Xun Xie accelerated his pace.

About an hour and a half later, Xun Xie looked up and saw a group of buildings in front of him, with white walls and grey tiles, and a wide street could be seen from a distance, with many figures standing there and moving around.

"There are so many voices, this is like a town."

Xun Xie's eyes lit up, he got off the donkey's back and led the donkey into the town on foot. There were no walls and tolls.

He was a young man with a bamboo basket on his back, a sickle on his waist, and a donkey on his back. He entered the street without standing out in the crowd.

Pah! Child labour, what's so special about this? Children are for the fields and valleys!

On the street, there are many shops, grain shops, oil shops, salt merchants, medicine shops, and so on.

There are also many small vendors who set up stalls on both sides of the street.

Xun Xie also saw a few fortune-tellers and people selling candied haws, but when these people saw his poor and sour look, they wouldn't give him a second look.

Truly, although this was an ancient world, the equivalent period back on Earth was definitely more miserable for the masses. Salt was very very precious at one time.

Bang!

As he was walking, there was a muffled sound in front of him.

"Someone is fighting!" Someone shouted, and the people on the street quickly dispersed.

Everyone seemed to know where they should run, and the people in front of Xun Xie were scurrying around, making him stunned.

When the crowd dispersed, the street suddenly opened up.

Xun Xie looked up and saw two people confronting each other on the street, each taking a stance.

The next moment, they rushed towards each other, punching and kicking each other.

Xun Xie has always been curious about what martial arts in this world look like, so he just took a closer look.

The two men moved very quickly, but Xun Xie could clearly see their punches and kicks. Compared with the fights of those martial arts people in movies and TV, there was no sense of flamboyance in their moves.

They moved as they fought, from the center of the street to the curb.

At this time, one of them punched out, the opponent dodged, and his fist hit the stone lion behind him.

Boom!

The stone lion's head was broken.

"Fuck!" Xun Xie was taken aback quickly realizing the reason the crowd dispersed so fast.
