The dilapidated village looked rather eerie and frightening in the dim Divine Realm, wreathed in wisps of mist.
Su Mo was just about to walk toward the eerie, ruined village, but the moment he lifted his foot, he drew it back. After a moment's thought, he turned and walked away...
...I came to find the Flower of the Other Shore. There's no need to seek out danger I can avoid.
A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall!
"Wait!" Great Calamity's voice sounded in Su Mo's mind again.
"What is it?" Su Mo paused.
"Go over there!" Great Calamity was brief and to the point.
"No! There's no Flower of the Other Shore there. Why should I go?" Su Mo refused.
Great Calamity drew a deep breath, seemingly in a foul temper. "There's something useful to you outside the third house!"
Su Mo froze, but looking at that eerie, frightening, ruined village shrouded in mist, he really did not want to go.
"What is it?" Su Mo scrutinized the space before the village's third doorway, but unfortunately, the mist blocked his view, and he could not make it out.
"A stone tablet..." Great Calamity said.
"???" Su Mo looked utterly puzzled.
"...There's a strand of hair on it!" Great Calamity finished after a long pause.
Su Mo was even more puzzled. "What would I want a strand of hair for?"
Great Calamity sighed. "It's a strand of the Confucian Sage's hair! Some of his will remains on it. It'll be useful to you!"
Su Mo's expression grew grave... Why had the Confucian Sage left a strand of hair here?
Su Mo cautiously approached the ruined village. Nothing happened along the way, but the closer he got, the stranger the village felt.
This village seemed to have been very peaceful
