Discussing The Correct Posture To Enjoy Dog Food

Translated by Hua Li ^_~

Honestly had to research some stuff to translate this chapter….Lot of taoist terms.🫠

As a strand of hair burned out and the water in the cup seemed to vanish, Gou Liang’s expression became somewhat grim.

Bi Xia emerged from the soul-nurturing jade and looked at him with concern. Gou Liang shook his head to indicate that he was fine. He Hao pinched his sister’s philtrum to wake her up. Despite the fear, Mrs. He tried to maintain composure and asked, “Master Meng, what should we do to make the black cat forgive Xiao Jia’s wrongdoing?”

“Auntie, please have a seat.”

He asked Bi Xia to return to the soul-nurturing jade. Then, he pointed at the foreheads of He Hao, Mrs. He, and He Jia, instructing them not to make a sound or move without his permission, no matter what they saw.

Subsequently, Gou Liang took out the tools for drawing talismans from his shoulder bag and quickly drew three soul-summoning talismans on the spot, silently reciting incantations. As the three talismans burned out, the sound of bells approached from a distance. The room suddenly became heavy, and He Hao and his family felt paralyzed, unable to move or speak. The surroundings turned pitch black, with only Gou Liang’s open brow chakra still able to perceive things.

A black cat with two tails stepped out of the void, disdainfully ignoring He Hao’s family. Its golden vertical pupils stared fiercely at Gou Liang, and unexpectedly, it spoke human language, “Human cultivator, now that you’ve become a celestial master, you should know the cycle of cause and effect and retribution. Why do you hinder me?”

Observing a soul-guiding bell tied around the cat’s neck, indicating it was close to achieving enlightenment, Gou Liang couldn’t help but feel regret, “Your cultivation path has been arduous, enduring a hundred years to become an Earth Immortal. There was no need to commit such heinous acts. Now that you’ve already killed the mastermind, why trouble innocent people and ruin the merits accumulated over several lifetimes?”

The black cat replied, “This couple has no conscience! The wife feels no guilt for killing my child, and the husband is morally corrupt, having killed countless stray cats and dogs since childhood. Due to the family’s ancestral worship of the land god, they enjoyed merits, and their sins did not accumulate. He never faced the consequences and has long developed a penchant for killing animals callously. I only wanted him to apologize for killing my child, but he unexpectedly struck me.”

“This villain enjoys his parents’ blessings, and even in the afterlife, he won’t suffer for his crimes. What entitlement does he have?”

“I want him to suffer eternal damnation and never be reincarnated!”

Gou Liang understood its sentiments, but with the task given by others, he advised, “Now that Gao Jiazhen is dead, and his soul has scattered, you have achieved your goal. Why not stop here?”

The black cat remained defiant, although its resistance was evident.

Gou Liang continued, “He Jia is different from her husband. She originally had a blessed life, but now, not only has she become a widow, her son’s soul has been frightened away by you, and she will live with nightmares for the rest of her life. Her blessings have diminished as she pays for her mistakes. Your continued killings will only drag yourself into eternal reincarnation, preventing you from ascending.”

The black cat said, “My cultivation is ruined. Even if I’m reborn, I’ll have to start afresh for ten lifetimes. Now, I no longer wish to become an immortal. Instead, I want to use my current cultivation to avenge my child.”

Gou Liang looked at He Jia and said, “You brought this upon yourself; you must atone for your mistakes.”

Listening to their conversation, He Jia had tears streaming down her face. Now that she regained her mobility, she immediately knelt down and apologized profusely, “I’m sorry, truly sorry. It was my fault for being distracted while driving. It was my mistake to kill your child, and later, I failed to stop my husband. But&#k2026; none of this has anything to do with my son. Please spare him; you can take my life if you want. I beg you, don’t kill him.”

“He’s only five years old and doesn’t understand anything. He’s a good child, with a personality like his grandmother’s. He loves small animals and is very compassionate. Normally, he wouldn’t even harm a mosquito and willingly donates all his New Year’s money to the Hope Project.”

“Please, whatever you want to do to me, just spare him. I beg you…”

He Jia’s head knocked against the ground loudly, and Mrs. He watched in tears, pleadingly looking at the black cat.

The black cat asked her coldly, “As a mother, why do you lack compassion for someone else’s child?”

He Jia cried out, “I was wrong, it was all my fault!”

The black cat, agitated, swayed its tail. Gou Liang saw that it was wavering and seized the opportunity, “Madam He has made many charitable contributions and established good karma with animals. If she’s willing to transfer her merits to your child, they might have a better life in the next reincarnation, avoiding the suffering of being livestock for several lifetimes. Isn’t this more beneficial than you killing a few people?”

The black cat, now moved, looked at Mrs. He. “Are you willing?”

Mrs. He, freed from the restriction, knelt down and said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not raising my daughter well. If there’s anything on me that can help your child, please take it. I’m really sorry…”

She hugged her daughter, crying softly.

The black cat watched as streams of golden light poured out from Mrs. He’s body. This woman was sincerely apologizing, trying to make amends for something.

Before long, two tender meows echoed, and two small black cats appeared at the black cat’s feet. It licked them affectionately, and its two tails individually enveloped each of them. Originally, the black cat couldn’t have offspring, but as it was about to ascend to become an Earth Immortal and still needed someone to manage the graveyard, it prayed to the underworld for blessings, resulting in these two children.

It hoped they would inherit its legacy and successfully cultivate. However, it never expected such an unexpected turn of events.

Gou Liang squatted down, caressing the two young cats.

“Meow, meow~”

The two kittens affectionately rubbed against his palm.

Gou Liang smiled, closed his five fingers, gently scratched, and removed the black aura surrounding them, crushing it in his palm.

“Thank you.”

The black cat looked at Gou Liang with gratitude.

Due to its stubbornness, its two children had also acquired negative karma, and even if they were reborn as humans, their fate would be full of hardships. Yet, with a simple effort from Gou Liang, he had bestowed great blessings upon the three of them. The vengeful aura around the black cat dissipated, and the ghostly aura on He Jia’s family vanished. In the distance, the black cats surrounding the white car scattered.

The soul-guiding bell around the black cat’s neck rang, indicating it was time for it to leave.

The black cat looked at Gou Liang one last time. “I see a mark of a fierce ghost on your face. With my hundred years of cultivation, I can erase it for you. This way, we owe each other nothing—”

“No, I’m fine like this.”

Gou Liang hurriedly refused.

The black cat looked at him with confusion, but it didn’t forcefully try to eliminate the cause and effect for him. A golden light emanated from the black cat’s soul, entering Gou Liang’s palm. The black cat thanked him once again.

It was also stubborn and insisted on bestowing its hundred years of merits upon Gou Liang.

Gou Liang smiled and gently enveloped the three cats with a tender spiritual force, sending them on their final journey. “By the decree of the heavens, I guide your lonely souls. Depart from the sea of suffering and be reborn as humans!”

As the words fell, the crisp sound of the soul-guiding bell gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard.

The cold room suddenly brightened, and Ming Ming, who had been blocked outside the door, finally managed to push it open. Due to exerting too much force, he staggered a few steps before steadying himself. “He Hao, is the door broken… Oh, why are you and Auntie crying? What happened to Sister?”

—

The tenth day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Before setting out, Gou Liang calmly gave this journey a divination

The tortoise shell cracked.

Gou Liang: …

He looked at Bi Xia and smiled, “Is this a major misfortune, or is it a major disaster?”

Bi Xia patted his face, comforting him, “Don’t worry, even if something happens to others, you won’t be affected.”

The most suitable place for reshaping the soul was in the capital, where there were few places with abundant yin energy. They chose the best location for their vigilance. Although they believed that the vengeful ghost wouldn’t settle for less, they cautiously made arrangements in other places as well. In order to deal with this ghost, almost all the organizations came out.

Zhang Dou also participated in this operation, armed with a gun for logistical defense. When he saw Gou Liang this time, he didn’t dare to approach.

He had experienced extremely bad luck in the past few days, almost choking on water and having his life flash before his eyes. After seeking advice from a master, he spent a few days eating vegetarian meals at a temple and donated his entire year’s salary. Only then did his streak of bad luck end.

Gou Liang saw the golden light on him return to its previous strength, and he chuckled, patting the soul-nurturing jade.

Liu Yiyi said, “Xiao Meng is here. These are Master Chen and Daoist Lin, who have come to assist us.”

Gu Liang consulted the monk and Taoist, and although their cultivation was slightly lower than Liu Yi and the others, they were still half a step away from being Heavenly Masters. They were genuinely skilled individuals. Yuan Qing held a miniature Spirit compass in her palm, and the Spirit compass was spinning rapidly under the drive of spiritual power. Fang Yunshu sat on the ground, reciting scriptures with a calm mind, and played with the Bodhi bead in his hand.

The mark on Gu Liang’s face began to heat up. He looked up at the stars and said, “The time is approaching. I have a formation here that might be able to trap him. However, my cultivation is limited, and I need the help of all of you to maximize the power of the formation.”

The others exchanged glances, and Yuan Qing said, “Xiao Meng is young, but he managed to control that vengeful ghost on his own last time. I don’t think he’ll speak up if he’s not confident.” Then she looked at Gou Liang, “What do you need me to do?”

Gou Liang set up the Bagua formation. With six practitioners, they were still two short, so he called Zhang Dou.

“Me?”
