He did not look for a Buddha statue representing death inside the Buddha statues.

And this time Gu Xi came not to find the Mirror Buddha, but to search for the Death Rule of this world.

The lack of a Buddha statue representing death doesn’t mean there is no death in this world; rather, death is intertwined with the eerie, forming the twelve golems in front of him.

Understanding this, Gu Xi was about to approach the golems for a closer look when a voice prompted him.

"Dear follower, please do not get too close."

Gu Xi turned his head to find that, at some unknown time, a Faceless Monk was standing in the direction the voice came from.

Seeing Gu Xi looking at him, the Faceless Monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Gu Xi.

"This monk is from the Seven People’s Workshop, formed after seven different corpses of men, women, old, young, sick, and disabled monks were burned to ash in the same cremation furnace."

Hearing the words of the Seven People’s Workshop, Gu Xi was a bit surprised. Since coming to this world, it was the first time he encountered an entity that would reveal its origins.

"Follower, do not worry. I am the eerie responsible for cleaning the inside of this Guanyin Hall. I will not go out, so whether you know or not does not matter to me."

Seeing Gu Xi’s reaction, the Seven People’s Workshop spoke quite calmly.

Gu Xi knew that the eerie could communicate, but generally speaking with such entities was the job of Order Mages from Qiufeng City. Facing such communicable entities, Gu Xi instead didn’t know how to start.

Finally, Gu Xi said: "I want to observe these twelve golems. I wonder where to start?"

"The follower wishes to observe the Death Rule, correct?"

The Seven People’s Workshop immediately saw through Gu Xi’s thoughts and shook its head.

"It’s not possible; the follower cannot get too close."

Although the Seven People’s Workshop refused Gu Xi’s request, Gu Xi noticed that the refusal wasn’t very resolute.

"What if I donate?"

Gu Xi suddenly asked.

"Ten yuan allows you a closer look; other thoughts shouldn’t even cross your mind."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi didn’t say much, decisively taking out the ten million yuan in cash obtained from opening a Mysterious Treasure Chest, pouring it all into the incense box near the golems.

Then he heavily rang the hanging bell.

The Seven People’s Workshop glanced at the money in the incense box, then at Gu Xi.

He swiftly came before Gu Xi, "Dear follower, let me introduce the situation of these twelve golems. Please do not wander too far from me; while nearby, I can ensure your safety."

With that, the Seven People’s Workshop began explaining the situation of these twelve golems to Gu Xi.

These twelve golems, as Gu Xi thought, represent the Death Rules.

Moreover, they are calculated according to months in the Death Rules.

Each month has its own talk on how to die gracefully, how to die beautifully.

For example, the golem representing December records information on being buried at the snow peak top, watching the snow cover oneself.

Another, the March golem, involves walking into the Yellow Springs amidst cherry blossoms.

Each month has a scenario.

But in Gu Xi’s ears, it wasn’t just that.

Besides hearing this information, prompts kept appearing in his ear.

[You listened to the "Song of Snow Covering the Body", your Undead Knowledge increased to some extent, your Undead Domination improved to some extent, your Undead Enhancement improved to some extent, your Soul Knowledge improved to some extent.]

[You listened to the "Sakura Netherworld Copy", your Undead Knowledge increased to some extent, reaching Level 7, your Undead Domination methods improved to some extent, and you slowly comprehended the Soul Enhancement Ability, Soul Knowledge Level 1.]

[You listened to the "Deep Sea Map Under the Fierce Sun", your Undead Knowledge increased to some extent, your Undead...]

[You listened to the "Poem of Autumn Wind", your Undead Knowledge...]

[You listened to the "Bitter Wine Words", you...]

[...]

The Seven People’s Workshop explained in great detail and would refer to some things especially during the explanation.

These poems or other information enriched Gu Xi’s knowledge base precisely.

After slowly making a round around these golems, Gu Xi seemed to transcend, as if understanding many things.

He looked down to see his gains were massive this time.

Many Undead Knowledge and abilities had been enhanced, and he had learned many things he hadn’t at first.

[Passive Skills: Undead Knowledge Level 8, Undead Contract Level 3, Magic Knowledge Level 6, Basic Science Level 4, Basic Reading Level 2, Basic Copying Level 2, Undead Domination Level 5, Enlightenment Level 1, War Machinery Level 1, Dark Knowledge Level 3, Undead Enhancement Level 4, Undead Research Level 3, Soul Whisper Level 3, Corpse Bone Research Level 3, Basic Curse Level 2, Corpse Structure Level 1, Soul Knowledge Level 2, Soul Research Level 1, Death Whisper Level 1.]

[Soul Knowledge Level 2: Passive Skill, mastering knowledge of the soul, basic conditions for abilities like soul extraction and soul modification.]

[Soul Research Level 1: Passive Skill, mastering the ability to research souls, enabling certain modifications and adjustments to living beings and souls.]

[Death Whisper Level 1: Advanced Passive Skill, can be learned after mastering Undead Research, Corpse Bone Research, and Soul Research. Once learned, it allows communication with death, giving death a different meaning for him, and also forms the basis of many advanced skills.]

Looking at this harvest, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Gu Xi’s eyes.

By this time, the Seven People’s Workshop had returned to its original position.

"Follower, I have explained enough for you. Now, please leave."

Gu Xi wanted to complain, a million just for this explanation.

I still feel energetic and can listen through the night.

But seeing the expression of the Seven People’s Workshop, Gu Xi knew some things cannot be forced.

He had already gained a lot this time, no need to turn against it here.

"Thank you, Master."

After this round, Gu Xi knew the skills and abilities of the Seven People’s Workshop, and it was deserving of being called Master.

The Seven People’s Workshop remained expressionless, neither happy nor sad, and as Gu Xi left, it slowly withdrew to its original position, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

After stepping out of the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue, Gu Xi looked up at the sky outside.

"What’s going on, where has the time gone?"

It turned out it was already almost dark, and the security uncle at the door had started clearing the field, and some of the eerie had also begun moving towards the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin.

Standing at the front door of the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, finally deciding not to join the night’s hunting.

No matter how great the night’s harvest, it cannot compare to the importance of Yalidu City.

Now, the Mysterious Mirror Image Space is the focus of Yalidu City, and the demons in the city cannot be slaughtered in just a day or two.
