At that moment, I saw it. I'm sure of it. The secret of the Mortal Law. When I used Grand-master Mingzi Jiang's talisman, I realized it for the first time. The true nature of power. In all these years...
Page 3 Transcriptions
Master's teachings were wrong. Or rather, his understanding of magic is inaccurate. His power and his talismans are incomplete. This is the reason why I've always had difficulty using them. This is not because the school's teachings are wrong, It's because he lacks the talent. but... although it may be somewhat cruel to say this... It's hard for him to grasp the truth of our world...
Page 4 Transcriptions
The truth of all mortal creatures. that everything is connected in some shape or form.
Page 5 Transcriptions
And the key to influencing and controlling all of this... But... I was only able to scratch the surface of it. is magic. Ah, as I thought... becoming a farmer would've been much simpler.
Page 6 Transcriptions
But because of what happened yesterday, I was able to experience power that I could never dream of... and I was able to glimpse the true face of this world. That might not be a good thing. I may become indifferent to the trivial things in life. I'm afraid...
Page 7 Transcriptions
there may be nothing in this world that will interest me anymore... I'm coming! Are you still not up? It's time for breakfast, Haoguang! Wait for me! I hope there aren't any carrots today.
Page 8 Transcriptions
To think the Word of Tongyue had such mysterious powers! And you're saying that aside from the chosen one... other people won't be able to use it? Why? Chao Ma's second disciple Erguo Huang (19) In terms of talent, wealth and looks, is Haoguang even a match for me? Why was I not chosen? Maybe your skin is too thick? Alright, let's return the Word to Haoguang, shall we? It belongs to him now. Master, I have very thin skin!
Page 9 Transcriptions
Hoi! Your gold hand is so cool, Master! Can you make one for me too? Hao- guang, did you really see Grand-master Mingzi Jiang? That's what he called himself. How am I supposed to know if he was real or not? He must have been real. There's no way that sword talisman was fake. Although I would like to know, Then why're you asking? why does the Word even exist? As if you don't know!
Page 10 Transcriptions
It's because, ah... I've forgotten, of course! I am getting old, after all! ...... Bluffing Although it is the first time that I've heard of it having powers! Stop that! You cheeky disciple! How dare you look at your own master with those judging eyes? Ah, that's right! There should be records in the study! Breakfast is ready!
Page 11 Transcriptions
Eh? Ehh?! No way! You're lying! I swear to God, everything I said is the truth. Where did Master go? Yeah, right, like you even believe in God. Mm, his injury relapsed. He's just passed into Nirvana. Chao Ma's first disciple Qingqing Miao (16) Oh~ Master... Why did you have to leave us? Amen! Is Master a Buddhist? Now you're Christian? Ma... Had enough? Yeah. Masteeer...! Uwaah!
Page 12 Transcriptions
He's just messing with you, Sister! Come on, apologize to Sister! Hey! You were part of it too! What?! How could you joke about Master's death like that? Master isn't dead. It was a joke. No lunch for you, Guang! How wise of you, Sister! Eh? Where's the Word? I was just holding onto it... That damn fatty... Over here, little disciple.
Page 13 Transcriptions
Let's continue our talk... 525 A.D. Your name is Haoguang, correct? I'll call you "Little Grey" from now on, hm? Of course, if my name is Haoguang, then naturally my nickname would be "Little Grey"! "Naturally", my ass!
Page 14 Transcriptions
Don't be alarmed... Are you nervous, seeing the all-powerful grand-master of your school? Ah wah wah! Buggy! Get it away from me! Ahh! I hate buggies the most! Save me! The Sage of... the Mortal Law...? I forgot to bring incense with me... Ugh!
Page 15 Transcriptions
Right, what was I saying? Do not be alarmed! The undead from before was a lone wolf. There will not be any of its comrades coming to avenge it. Do not lose face for our school. Am I supposed to forget about what just happened? Good thing I held back my laughter... Do you know what I'm doing right now, Little Grey? Ahem! Don't you dare laugh! Everybody hates buggies!
Page 16 Transcriptions
I am... building the Third Court where you are living right now, in accordance with the events of history. What's up with Guang? Was I too harsh on him? It was his fault in the first place. Of course, we must also act in accordance with our destiny. Do you understand?
Page 17 Transcriptions
The fact that you are standing there is also proof that you are following the path of your destiny. So what? Can't I just disobey it? ...... Has nobody explained to you the purpose of the Word? Master went to look it up. Just now. Tsk!
Page 18 Transcriptions
That the best school in the world, the School of Sanzhen, has fallen to such a degree! Look at you all! You're just a bunch of trash! I left you so many good things and you didn't properly preserve them? Do you know what I'm reminded of when I look at you idiots? ...... Oh, what a travesty! Dumb animals! Fodder for the undead! Lucky for you, those guys don't leave any waste after eating! A great big pile of poop! Otherwise you'd all be poop! You girly sage. ......
Page 19 Transcriptions
What did you just call me? My master thought you were a majestic, nine-foot-tall hero. But it turns out you're just a small and bitter man! Just because you helped us before doesn't mean you can insult us however you want! Boy... You... ?
Page 20 Transcriptions
How did you know about my other, "feminine" identity? Because of my skill in transformation magic, I actually spent a third of my life as a young maiden! Teehee! I'll have you know, I'm the dream girl of many young men from all over the world!
Page 21 Transcriptions
You'd best keep this a secret, Little Grey~ ...... What the heck? Are all the legendary figures of Sanzhen this weird? And he's actually proud of it? Uh... Alright, no more messing around. The Word isn't without its limits, after all. Listen to me carefully. Your master and siblings may not be able to see or hear me, but you can serve as my mouthpiece. Call them over. ......
Page 22 Transcriptions
There won't be any need for that. ? That geezer is getting on in his years. He probably has a bit of dementia already. We should just save him the worry. Sister's personality is far too kind (it always makes me want to tease her). She's not suited to conflict. I've been alone since I was a kid, and I don't have any attachments. That's why... And that fatty is crafty, but he's not bad at heart. He's also carrying the expectations of his whole family as the only child.
Page 23 Transcriptions
Tell me what it is you want me to do, and leave them out of it. I won't discuss anything with you otherwise. It sounds like you are very sure of yourself. Hn. Ugh... Well, I actually quite like it. Fine. Listen carefully, Little Grey.
Page 24 Transcriptions
Let me tell you the reason for the Word of Tongyue's existence... Hey! I found the records on the Word! It was probably passed down from one of the grand-masters! Ah, master really is alive! Since ancient times, the war between the living and the undead has never ceased. Though a countless number of our people laid down their lives in battle, we had no way of completely eradicating the enemy. This was because...
Page 25 Transcriptions
of the existence of the Immortal Lord, otherwise known as the Corpse Sage or the King of the Undead. This so-called king is the reason for the birth of the undead. But he is different from the "immortal" undead that can be destroyed. It's written here that Tongyue's existence... was connected to the King himself. He is a monster that transcends that natural laws of cause and effect.
Page 26 Transcriptions
He exists simultaneously within the past, present and future. He was a hardworking and meticulous fellow. That's why... He cannot be destroyed at any singular moment in time. But of course, that was before the appearance of the Word. His ability to recover without limit will render all your efforts as pointless as drawing water with a holed bucket. "The night that a girl called Tongyue Sun appeared beneath the eaves, Finally, a way had revealed itself to us. The man named Wang, who was already feeling hot and bothered, finally..." A way to destroy the enemy for good.
Page 27 Transcriptions
Many of the Sanzhen elders realized, That the Word of Tongyue would select three people at three different points in time, and that the three chosen ones could then defeat the King of the Undead simultaneously. Three people at three different points in time? He and I, and someone else...? "Yes, and a third woman, who joined in with a twist of her slim waist. Her pearly white hands caressed up and down, as Wang repeatedly begged for mercy..." This is getting exciting... There is still one person left, but I am certain that he will appear in the near future. "Wang was not content with being under- estimated..." Hao- guang, "The two women felt that something was amiss,"
Page 28 Transcriptions
I need you to become strong, so that one day, you can help me bring an end to... "Oh, Lord Wang, you are so strong! So powerful!" Suddenly shouting the King of the Undead. "Your concubine's body won't be able to take this much longer!" ...... ......
Page 29 Transcriptions
It's time to retire, old man. Good thing I held back my laughter. What an idiot. Hoho! Not bad, not bad! Let's move on to the next page.
Page 30 Transcriptions
* What the hell are you saying in front of the children, you nitwit?! Listen to what I'm about to tell you, if you don't want to involve them in danger. Dig up the ground under your feet. There is a treasure there that will keep them safe.
Page 31 Transcriptions
Leap Yes. Under my feet? Here? What a pain. Heheh. Brat, can't you be a little more grateful?
Page 32 Transcriptions
Thud! W-Was the grand-master there... this whole time...? He was, wasn't he... Guang? Did Grand-master Jiang appear again? I better be on my best behavior! Being good Whoosh! Thud! Go!
Page 33 Transcriptions
Is this it? A scroll?
Page 34 Transcriptions
Yes! It's a letter. Pick it up. It contains a way to help you to avoid a disaster like what happened yesterday. Hehehe! It's a lie, little boy! That is a treasure that I've been imbuing for many years. Once someone touches it, it will take all those who are nearby... to a place full of danger! You won't be able to refuse. You want to bargain with me? You're a thousand years too early for that! Even if we are separated by time, you are merely... my puppet. Hm?
Page 35 Transcriptions
Why is there a book at the bottom? A book? How is that possible? I didn't put anything but the scroll in there. Is this a diary? Yours? *Record of Mingzi
Page 36 Transcriptions
? Eh? ......
Page 37 Transcriptions
What? Is? Going? On? That diary... Hello? Earth to grand- master? Hello?
Page 38 Transcriptions
Aren't I holding onto it right now? But, That one is indeed genuine. Does this mean I will put the diary in there for some reason in the future? No, impossible! I'm opening it... I can't let anybody else see the contents of that book! Wait!
Page 39 Transcriptions
Do you have no manners, child? True. This is hugely disrespectful to your grand- master... But, If you didn't want anyone to see it, you should've just burned it. Don't try to blame me. aren't you clearly hiding something me? Now I'm curious. This brat...
Page 40 Transcriptions
How interesting. Difficult to control, and stubborn as an ass. It seems like my only option is to stop writing, or switch to a different book. I can't modify what's already been written.
Page 41 Transcriptions
What's already happened can't be changed, after all. This scroll... it's a letter? Dummy! Don't touch it! Heh! VOOM...
Page 42 Transcriptions
W-W-What's happening?! VMMM... What... Guang? Brother? You learned how to fly? magic is that?
Page 43 Transcriptions
Guang! What about breakfast? Where the hell are you taking us, you dumb sage? Watch your mouth, you brat!
Page 44 Transcriptions
Good! The first step is complete. Now, it's time to see... what this brat is capable of.
Page 45 Transcriptions
And that diary... why was it inside that box? I suppose I will find out sooner or later. That kid won't be able to understand what's written in there for the time being anyway. I can't let him know the contents of that book for now. 2020 A.D.
Page 46 Transcriptions
The Word of Tongyue is in here, and also... a book? Should I take a look? No, No! No! No! this is a diary... That would be a huge disrespect to the grand- master.
Page 47 Transcriptions
But... it might be able to tell me how to use the Word... I'll... just take one look! One look! *Record of Haoguang And then I'll go memorize some English vocab! I'll forget everything I read, just like I'll forget the vocab! Yes... that will work! Grand-master Haoguang. Then, please excuse my rudeness,
