Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

What he saw was a three-story Taoist temple with green tiles that had collapsed.

The tiles were covered in dust, and the bells on the eaves were rusted.

The red paint on the pillars of the building peeled off, revealing the gray and white interior.

One of the two stone lions standing in front of the door fell to the ground and shattered.

The other was missing half of its head, leaving only a broken eye. It was coldly watching the outside world.

He looked at the group of uninvited guests.

Su Mo and the others stood on the grassy stone slabs.

Facing the dilapidated Taoist temple that was so close to them, they only felt a faint chill in their hearts.

According to the initial plan, they were the only ones closest to the team.

From the moment they found the signal to the moment they arrived, they had not wasted any time.

Even that short encounter was resolved in a relatively short period of time.

They should be the first batch of reinforcements to arrive at the scene.

But now, it was completely silent.

There were no sounds of battle, no angry roars, no hurt screams.

It felt like everything had been settled.

This immediately gave everyone a bad feeling.

“No matter what, we have to go in and take a look.”

Zhang Zhenyu took a deep breath, loosened his blue polka dot tie, and led the way inside.

Chu Qingwu’s eyes narrowed slightly. She took out both pistols and followed him forward.

Xue Qiaoqiao looked at the gloomy and cold Taoist temple and guiltily moved her feet closer to Su Mo.

Su Mo flicked his sword away and held it in his hand, finally calming down a little.

He looked at Xue Qiaoqiao and said,”

“Let’s go too.”

“Tsk, I’m not afraid at all.”

“Did I say you were afraid?”

“..”

They stepped over the green stone slabs hidden by the weeds, climbed the meticulously polished and neat stone steps, and entered the collapsed Taoist temple.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple stood a huge statue with a short bun on its head and a ruler in its hand.

Affected by the collapse of the house, half of the clay statue’s body was smashed into pieces, and its right arm and left leg were missing.

His broken body was covered in dust, and there were even many spider webs on his head. One could vaguely see his solemn expression.

Passing by the statue and the collapsed bricks around it, everyone’s eyes fell on the messy footprints on the ground.

“According to the footprints, there are four people.”

Zhang Zhenyu quickly came to a conclusion.

Hence, the problem became-

Where were they now?

How was the situation?

Everyone followed the footprints and looked at the passage on the left.

He went around the huge statue in front of him and entered the back hall.

What he saw was a backyard overgrown with weeds.

The courtyard was surrounded by neat dilapidated houses on three sides.

Although there were no footprints on the grass, the broken grass still pointed the way.

When he arrived at the house on the left, there were traces of battle everywhere.

Some were broken railings, some were broken walls, and some were broken floors.

Everyone immediately imagined the battle scene at that time.

All of this continued until the end of a vast house

This house was more spacious than the other houses.

It seemed to be the master’s room, with three rooms inside and outside.

The first room had many saber marks.

There were messy footprints in the second room.

When he reached the third room, there was nothing.

In the clean quiet room, there was only a red table.

There was also a thin corpse lying prone in front of the table.

Seeing the dried corpse in a bright yellow Daoist robe, everyone could not help but be shocked.

Xue Qiaoqiao jumped behind Su Mo like a rabbit, her face filled with panic as she wished she could turn around and run.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll use my [warlock] profession as a guarantee. This guy has been dead for many years.”

As Zhang Zhenyu’s voice fell, everyone relaxed a little.

Then, the group of people walked forward warily and came to a large table.

Looking down, the dried corpse was shriveled like rotten wood, and there was a fist-sized black tumor on its right shoulder.

From the terrifying face that was enough to give people nightmares at night, it was possible to vaguely recognize that he was a middle-aged man when he was alive.

The most serious injury on his body was a sword wound that pierced through his chest and back.

Moreover, judging from the marks on the table, it was obvious that the sword had pierced through from behind.

There was a high chance that he was ambushed from behind and died on the spot.

Su Mo was very curious about how this guy’s corpse had been preserved until now.

Even for Trascendent like them, if their strength did not reach the Advanced Level, they would definitely be left with dry bones after death. It was impossible to keep their corpses for a long time.

From the looks of it, this person was killed by a sneak attack. Clearly, he wasn’t a very powerful expert.

Then it was very puzzling that the corpse could be preserved in the state of a dried corpse until now.

At this moment, Xue Qiaoqiao, who was standing furthest away, stuck her head out and asked curiously,”

“There are words written on the jade letter on the table.”

Everyone looked at the jade slip that was pressed to the side by the dried corpse.

It was filled with small seal characters, but it was not any language they were familiar with.

Su Mo knew that this was the Origin World Language, the language that was commonly used in the Origin World.

It was rumored that before reaching Tier 5 and entering the border, the society would specially teach rookies the the Origin World Language.

This was not just to let them understand the Origin World better.

At the same time, it was also to prevent them from missing out on some treasures in the Origin World Battlefield.

“This is a letter of inquiry.”

Chu Qingwu said after she had roughly identified it.

Everyone was surprised.

“Qingwu, you actually know the Origin World Language?”

Xue Qiaoqiao’s eyes widened in curiosity.

“I’ve learned a little,”

Chu Qingwu nodded her head and skipped this part. She translated,

“This is a letter written by the head of the Cloudy Mountain Monastery to his junior brother Zhang Yan.

It mentioned that the Devil Tribulation was coming and the world was going to be in chaos. Yunshan Temple was located in a desolate mountain in the wild, but it was still affected.

In just twenty days and nights, seventy percent of the disciples in the temple had changed.

He had no choice but to wipe them all out and chase away the remaining disciples, leaving only two legacy disciples behind.

However, after only five days, the second disciple of the legacy disciple still inevitably fell into a mutation.

He had exhausted all means to save him, but he could not bear to kill him.

Finally, he used the Blood Seal Spell and the Array Seal Spell to forcefully seal it, waiting to see if he could save it in the future.

The purpose of writing this letter was to ask the eldest disciple to bring the letter to his junior brother, Tianxuan Zhenren, Zhang Yan.

He tried to obtain some precious medicine from Tianxuan Zhenren to clear his mind and get rid of his dirty thoughts.

In addition, he also used this letter to ask about the whereabouts of his teacher, Hundred Kalpa Supreme Zhao Wuji.

It was roughly the content above.”

He listened to Chu Qingwu’s complete interpretation of the jade scroll.

Everyone could not help but frown.
