He did not look for a Buddha statue that represented death among the Buddha statues.

Gu Xi came here not to find the Mirror Buddha, but to find the rules of death in this world.

The absence of Buddha statues representing death does not mean that death does not exist in this world, but rather that death and the eerie have become intertwined, forming the twelve demonic statues before us.

Gu Xi, who understood this, was about to approach the golem for a closer look when a voice prompted him.

"Please do not come too close, believer."

Gu Xi turned his head and saw that a Faceless Monk was standing in the direction from which the sound came.

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

"The Seven People Workshop were formed by burning the ashes of seven different corpses of monks—men, women, children, the sick, and the disabled—into the same crematorium."

Hearing what the Seven People Workshop said, Gu Xi was also a little surprised. This was the first time he had encountered a strange creature that would reveal its origins since he came to this world.

"Believers need not worry. I am responsible for cleaning up the eerie things inside this Guanyin Hall. I will not go out, so whether you know it or not is actually meaningless to me."

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

Gu Xi knew that the supernatural could communicate, but usually communicating with the supernatural was the job of the Order Mage of Autumn Wind City. Faced with such a communicative supernatural, Gu Xi didn't know how to start the conversation.

Finally, Gu Xi said, "I want to observe these twelve demon statues, but I don't know where to begin?"

"What believers want to observe is the rule of death, isn't it?"

Seven People Workshop immediately saw through Gu Xi's thoughts and shook his head.

"No, believers cannot get too close."

Although the Seven People Workshop rejected Gu Xi's request, Gu Xi found that their rejection was not so firm.

"What if I donate?"

Gu Xi suddenly asked a question.

"Ten yuan will let you get a close look, but don't even think about anything else."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi didn't say much. He decisively took out the ten million yuan in cash he had obtained from opening the Weird Treasure Chest and poured it all into the incense box next to the golem.

Then he rang the hanging bells heavily.

Seven People Workshop looked at the money in the incense box, then glanced at Gu Xi.

He quickly walked up to Gu Xi and said, "My believer, let me tell you about these twelve demon statues. Please don't stray too far from me; I can protect you if you stay by my side."

Then, the Seven People Workshop began to explain the situation of the twelve demon statues to Gu Xi.

Just as Gu Xi had thought, these twelve golems represented the rules of death.

Moreover, the death rule is calculated by month.

Every month there are stories about how to die elegantly and how to die beautifully.

Like the golem representing December, it records how to be buried on the snow-capped peak, watching the Snow White cover you.

Then, the March Golem walks down the Yellow Springs Road amidst cherry blossoms.

There's always something going on every month.

Gu Xi heard this, but it wasn't like that at all.

In addition to this information, he was constantly receiving notifications.

[You listened to "The Song of Snow Covering the Body," which has increased your Undead Knowledge, enhanced your Undead Domination, improved your Undead Enhancement, and boosted your Soul Knowledge.]

[You listened to "Cherry Blossom Underworld Excerpt," which increased your Undead Knowledge, bringing your Undead Knowledge level to 7. Your ability to Undead Domination has also improved, and you have gradually come to understand the ability to enhance souls, Soul Knowledge level 1.]

[You listened to "The Deep Sea Chart Under the Blazing Sun," and your Undead Knowledge has increased to a certain extent. Your undead...]

[You listened to the Autumn Wind Like a Knife Poem,"your Undead Knowledge...]

You listened to "Bitter Wine Lyrics," and you...

[...]

The Seven People Workshop' explanation was very detailed, and they even quoted some relevant information during their explanation.

These poems and other information enriched Gu Xi's knowledge base.

After slowly circling the golems once, Gu Xi seemed to have undergone a spiritual transformation, as if he understood many things.

Gu Xi looked down and realized that he had gained a lot this time.

Many of the Undead Knowledge and abilities, and also learned many things they had not learned at first.

[Passive Skills: Undead Knowledge Level 8, Undead Pact Level 3, Magic Knowledge Level 6, Basic Science Level 4, Basic Reading Level 2, Basic Writing Level 2, Undead Domination Level 5, Enlightenment Level 1, War Machine Mastery 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 Construction Level 1, Soul Knowledge Level 2, Soul Research Level 1, Whisper of Death Level 1.]

[Soul Knowledge Level 2: Passive skill. Provides knowledge of the soul; a foundational condition for abilities such as soul extraction and soul modification.]

[Soul Research Level 1: Passive skill. Grants the ability to research souls, allowing for certain modifications and adjustments to living beings and their souls.]

[Whisper of Death Level 1: Advanced Passive Skill. Can be learned after mastering the three skills of Undead Research, Corpse Bone Research, and Soul Research. After learning it, one can communicate with death, and death will have a different meaning for them. It is also the foundation for many advanced skills.]

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

At this moment, the Seven People Workshop had returned to their original positions.

"Believers, I have explained almost everything to you. Now please leave."

Gu Xi wanted to add another complaint: all they're talking about is this much for ten million.

I'm still very energetic and can still hear things at night.

But looking at the Seven People Workshop's Quarters, Gu Xi knew that some things couldn't be forced.

He's already made a huge profit this time, there's no need for him to be his enemy here anymore.

"Thank you, Master."

After going through this round, Gu Xi also knew the abilities and strength of the Seven People Workshop, and he deserved to be called a master.

Despite Gu Xi's flattery, Seven People Workshop remained expressionless, neither sad nor happy. As Gu Xi left, he slowly retreated to his original position and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After exiting the Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin, Gu Xi looked up at the sky outside.

"What happened? Where did the time go?"

It was getting dark, and the Security Uncle at the entrance had begun clearing the area. Some strange figures started walking towards the Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin.

Standing before the Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to participate in tonight's hunt.

No matter how great the night's harvest may be, it cannot compare to the importance of the Aryadovi City.

The Weird Mirror Space is now the main focus of Aryadovi City; the demons in the city can't be killed off in a day or two.
