Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Who Will Perform Soul Search? Waiting Online
Feng Jun used the Sweet Dew Talisman without any restrictions, and since it was raining at the moment, he didn't even have to worry about leaving any traces behind.
He used five talismans at each of the two burial sites for commoners, totaling ten talismans.
A significant amount of resentment was dissolved, the effect was very good, although not completely resolved, but in a year and a half, it would be almost naturally cleansed. If he really wanted to completely resolve the resentment, another twenty talismans wouldn't be enough.
However, the most important thing was that he had broken the Mother-Child Yin Yang Formation and also dismantled the Trapped Dragon Formation, hence the resentful souls were no longer confined by the formation, and no new resentments would arise.
After dealing with these two locations, they arrived at the burial pit for the soldiers who died in the national war.
At this time, Feng Jun had made his judgment known, then turned to Gao Qiang, “How do you suggest we handle this place?”
Gao Qiang pondered for a moment and replied, “If possible, I hope to exhume the skeletons and send them to the Martyrs' Cemetery. The heroic spirits who died for the nation should be honored with people's offerings.”
“Brother Qiang, I support that,” Gazi responded promptly. However, he then frowned, “My only concern is whether the workload will be too large. Brother Jun, can you handle it?”
“That's not really an issue,” Feng Jun didn't think the workload was a big problem–would a cultivator at the Ascension Realm care about that?
What he really needed to consider was, opening such a large pit, how things would be concluded.
But thinking of the numerous heroic corpses still silently lying here unbeknownst to anyone, he felt that his slight self-interest calculations were indeed too trivial.
He has always been a person with strong personal desires, but when he first met Xu Lei, he was also impulsive and generously lent Xu Lei forty million–simply because he disliked how certain compradors suppressed domestic products.
So, when it's time to be crazy, he didn't mind going wild once more; if he didn't, he would just be old.
The next moment, he coughed lightly, “Everyone, step back, I'm going to make a move.”
The area of the burial pit was only a little over a hundred square meters, but first of all, he had to deal with more than ten pines and cypresses on the ground.
In fact, once he put all his effort into it, it was much more powerful than when he was digging at the entrance of Kunlun Gate.
Feng Jun drew out a longsword and started slashing left and right on the ground, then with a flick of his wrist, he forcibly pulled out a pine complete with a large clump of square earth.
Actually, he didn't exert much force, and simply sent the pine tree to the mobile phone dimension.
Everyone was used to the pine tree disappearing from his hands, only Feng Jing's eyebrows slightly lifted, she vaguely guessed that he might have thrown the tree… over there?
Very quickly, Feng Jun had uprooted eighteen pines and cypresses, there were still four or five left, but they no longer obstructed their excavation of the skeletons.
However, there was some unfortunate news, which was… the corpses were buried quite deep, about four to five meters from the surface.
By this time, even Zhang Caixin jumped into the pit and started digging with a shovel, leaving only Feng Jing to keep watch on the ground.
Yet, the digging speed was still a bit slow, as it was nearly 4 o'clock in the morning when they initiated the task, and they were careful not to damage the underground skeletons, so they did not dare to dig at full capacity.
As dawn was about to break, Feng Jun first unearthed an area of ten square meters, revealing the piled-up white bones underground.
Besides the bones, there were also broken gun parts and some unrotted clothes.
The postures of two of the skeletons caught their attention; one skeleton, whose leg was broken, was propping itself onto another, and that skeleton's bones were noticeably much smaller.
Live burial of prisoners of war! A scene suddenly flashed in Feng Jun's mind: an old soldier with a broken leg, protecting a young soldier under him, hoping to use his body to provide some breathing space for the young soldier.
As for whether they could crawl out after being buried alive–he believed the old soldier at that time did not have the luxury to consider that much.
Perhaps his only hope was… for the young soldier to die a bit later?
Feng Jun stood there in a daze, Zhang Caixin glanced curiously and was also stunned, “Is this… a live burial?”
“We need to speed up now,” seeing they were chatting, Gao Qiang couldn't help but interject a reminder, “It's almost dawn.”
“We can't finish digging today,” Feng Jun said expressionlessly, “but I can set up an Obstructing Vision Array to prevent others from noticing anything unusual. When night comes, let's continue and finish digging through the night.”
After digging for over an hour, Zhang Caixin was also covered in mud and water, and she spoke a bit displeased, “Since it definitely can't be done in a short while, Gao Qiang could also come over and take a look.”
Brother Qiang came over for a look and was also stunned, “This is… simply beastly.”
Gazi also came over and seeing the situation, he spoke, “How about… we stop digging? This is clearly a patriotism education base, suitable for elementary and middle school students to visit.”
“It's unlikely,” Feng Jing who was on the lookout said, “Forget about the fact that this is Ni Hong's factory, even if such a scene emerged in a normal place, officials generally wouldn't publicize it to avoid accusations and claims of intentionally stirring up conflict.”
“Exactly,” Brother Qiang nodded in deep agreement. Having worked in the special forces, he understood all too well the various confidentiality clauses, “Things like this which can clearly incite ethnic hatred and exacerbate international conflicts, are generally kept from public knowledge.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun couldn't help but let out another cold snort, “Wait until there's a need for civilian power to apply pressure from outside, then release the news… So, that's what a big-picture understanding is, not to mention the city of Shanghai is quite friendly towards Ni Hong.”
Zhang Caixin moved her lips, as a native of Shanghai she really wanted to explain a thing or two about the city, but in the end, she just sighed softly, “You can set up an Obstructing Vision Array here, but… can you really hide the disappearance of Tempura Hiro today?”
Brother Qiang was silent then after a long while, he slowly squatted down, covering his face as he spoke, “It seems… we really can't move these bones after all.”
Feng Jun glanced at him, pondered for a moment, then leaped out of the pit, grabbing Feng Jing, “Looks like it's going to be tough on you again.”
The next moment, he took her, heading straight to the Mobile Phone Realm.
In the Mobile Phone Realm, it was still the time when thick snow sealed the mountains, yet Feng Jun and Feng Jing were dressed as if it were already spring.
However, these were minor issues–changing into a set of clothes would do.
Feng Jun let Teacher Mei cultivate in the Spirit Gathering Array while he went to find Huang Fu Flawless, “I want to buy a set of Soul-searching Cultivation Techniques.”
“Soul-searching Cultivation Technique?” Chairman Huang Fu blinked at him, “This technique is not cheap, and there's no guarantee it's without risks… Soul Searching Technique carries heavy karmic repercussions and strong backlash, and the effects of the same technique can vary from person to person.”
“I know all that,” Feng Jun spoke impatiently, “I want a better technique, something like the enforcement techniques used by the Four Sects of Wutai.”
The Four Sects of Wutai also use Soul Searching Techniques, mainly mastered by the enforcement disciples to investigate treachery and eradicate evil. As it's a legitimate major power with a long heritage, the Soul Searching Techniques they use have relatively minor side effects.
“That would start at least at a hundred thousand Spirit Stones,” Huang Fu Flawless looked at him, speaking with interest, “At least half an estate of Sorrowful Duke… By the way, is your Sorrowful Duke estate ready for auction?”
“Sorrowful Duke? Let's wait a bit longer,” Feng Jun responded with a smile, “You promote it a bit more, the auction could drive the price up, which is beneficial for both of us… Find me a set of Soul-searching Techniques as soon as possible, and don't price it too high.”
“As soon as possible?” Chairman Huang Fu blinked again, “Mr. Feng, there's something off with your idea. Where are you going to find Soul-searching Techniques that you can master right away? The safer the Soul-searching Techniques, the more time it takes to cultivate.”
“Of course, I know that,” Feng Jun was indeed aware of these things, but he didn't have other choices. He glanced at her disdainfully, “You're not thinking about finding someone to perform soul searching for me, are you?”
Huang Fu Flawless did have this intention because she saw too many secrets in Feng Jun. However, since he mentioned it, she could only smile, “You think too much, I wanted to ask you… are Soul-searching Talismans okay?”
“Soul-searching Talisman?” Feng Jun's mouth gaped open, even his little tongue could be seen, “This thing can also be a talisman?”
“Talismans are meant for people to use,” Chairman Huang Fu answered with a smile, “Where there's demand, there can be talismans… I only have Qi Refinement Realm talismans, which can perform soul searching among the same class, interested?”
“Yes,” Feng Jun nodded decisively, “How many Spirit Stones?”
“Five thousand per piece,” Huang Fu Flawless smiled as if she had just returned from sweeping the streets, “The effect is guaranteed, but it's not absolute.”
“What?” Feng Jun frowned upon hearing this, “That's enough to buy me an ordinary Magical Treasure… and you still can't guarantee the effect?”
“The efficacy of soul searching is inherently difficult to guarantee, and during the Qi Refinement level, it's even more unstable,” answered Huang Fu Flawless leisurely.
“Even if I brought those used in the higher stages of cultivation, you really might not be able to afford them–starting at twenty thousand Spirit Stones… Don't complain about the price, without me, you couldn't even buy it.”
A Talisman costing twenty thousand Spirit Stones was definitely not something Feng Jun would consider buying–at least not for a long foreseeable time as all his endeavors in the Earth Realm were finally running smoothly, and it was the time to spend Spirit Stones.
After hesitating, he sighed, “But even five thousand per piece is too expensive.”
“You see, even five thousand you find expensive,” Huang Fu Flawless looked at the accomplished practitioner in front of her with a hint of disdain and a face full of the superiority of a pay-to-win player, “To be honest, these are my own hidden stock, given by my family's old patriarch, Tiantong doesn't even have current stock…”
“From a friend's point of view, I wouldn't mind giving them to you as a gift, but I can't mess with the market. Business is business.”
“How about this, I brought a lot of Soul-searching Talismans, buy two get one free then. This thing can't be discounted.”
Feng Jun couldn't help but remember when Dou Jiahui opened his lamp store, the lamp manufacturers for the sake of brand considerations also didn't offer discounts, but could give away free items based on the quantity bought.
However, what he couldn't figure out was: Why did you carry so many Soul-searching Talismans with you upon leaving?
