The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things

Chapter 39: The Night Watchman's Funeral

Translated into plain language, this oath means: Let the gold stay in the mountains and let the pearls be hidden in the abyss.

Do not seek gain from wealth, do not approach riches,

Do not be proud of longevity, nor be sad about short life.

Do not take prosperity as glory, and do not take poverty as shame.

Do not seek the interests of the world as personal gain, and do not use being the king of the world as capital for fame.

To show off is to show your weaknesses outwardly.

All things in this world will eventually return to one, life and death are the same, there is no difference.

This is simply an alien version of the Night's Watch oath in Game of Thrones.

Although Yang Qing was at the end of the team at the moment, he still felt a tingling sensation in his spine when he heard it.

Somehow, there seemed to be a throbbing feeling touching my heart.

I didn't travel to this different world voluntarily, but since I'm here, and I came with the so-called golden finger, I have to do something in this world.

At this moment, Yang Qing seemed to have found a clue to his goal.

A frivolous, immature, and young goal.

The oath was over, but the crowd did not disperse.

The leader suddenly became covered in golden light. He pointed to the sky and a ray of golden light turned into a sword shape, shooting straight into the sky and lingering for a long time.

This person was none other than Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Night Patrol. Judging from the sword light, the three-headed dog of hell should have been killed by him.

Then, the other Night Watchmen displayed their skills and shot their best moves magnificently into the sky.

The long sword in Xing Hu's hand rolled up into fire, transformed into various shapes and swept towards the sky, and then exploded into fireworks in the night sky.

Someone created a hurricane out of thin air, which rolled up the burning sparks and smoke, and painted the sky like a river of stars.

Some people even raised icicles, which looked as beautiful as colored glaze under the light of the fire.

For a moment, fireflies flew across the sky, meteors streaked across the sky, and all kinds of fireworks and flying swords complemented each other, which was a very beautiful sight.

This was everyone's final farewell to Xu Wangbei in their own way.

About a quarter of an hour later, the funeral was over.

Guo Huaiyi sent someone to wrap up Xu Wangbei's body and prepare to take it back to the Martyrs' Shrine for burial.

Then everyone went their separate ways.

When most people had dispersed, Xing Hu discovered Yang Qing still standing aside.

“This is our night watchman’s funeral.

Only those heroes who died in a tragic way and were admired by other Night's Watchmen would be qualified to do so.

I wish I could have a funeral like this."

Xing Hu looked a little lonely.

"Benefited a lot." Yang Qing didn't know how to comfort him.

"I have to tell you something. When you join the Night's Watch, show me some nice moves.

If I need you to attend my funeral someday, please help me make it grand.

If that doesn't work, fireworks are also acceptable.

Hahaha! Go ahead, and be careful!"

Xing Hu patted Yang Qing on the shoulder, indicating that it was time to continue patrolling.

During the whole process, Yang Qing was the only night watchman who attended the night watchman's funeral. The other night watchmen were afraid to avoid such things.

The next morning, after checking in and explaining yesterday's situation, Yang Qing rushed to the Martyrs' Shrine to look for the old man.

As soon as they met, the old man asked about what happened last night. Such a magnificent scene could be seen from a distance.

Yang Qing truthfully recounted what he had seen and heard last night, as well as his feelings about the oath and the funeral.

"This oath comes from Zhuangzi. Heaven and Earth. The first time I recited it was when I first joined the Night's Watch.

Thinking back to when I read it, I felt a lot of emotion.

But unfortunately, in the end, I still couldn’t break through the level of “All things are one, life and death are the same.”

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you came here today, I think you want to learn some Taoist hand seals from me.

In that case, let’s stop talking nonsense and get started.”

After saying that, he began to explain some knowledge about Taoist hand seals to Yang Qing.

Seeing that the old man was more enthusiastic than himself, Yang Qing was deeply moved.

I have not been in this world for long, and I have met many good and bad people, but this old man is the first person who truly treats me as a disciple or nephew.

Without further ado, Yang Qing kowtowed again to become his disciple, then knelt down and kowtowed to the old man.

"Thank you, Master."

"Get up. I've said before that you should forget about these empty formalities when you are about to die."

"It doesn't count. Master, you gave me the soul weapon first, and now you are teaching me skills. Yang Qing has no way to repay you. Disciple Yang Qing, I pay my respects to the master."

"what ever!"

The old man was stubborn but remained noncommittal on the surface, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"The disciple has already met the master, but I don't know the master's surname. May I ask the master's name?"

"Don't ask me about this. I teach you the art and you learn from me. Don't ask me anything else.

All I have left in my life is a reputation that is like a joke. It is not good to ask, and I will be ridiculed by others in the future."

“That won’t happen. Once a teacher, always a father.

If anyone dares to laugh at the master in the future, I will definitely teach him a lesson.

I hope the master can tell me his name. Otherwise, if I don’t even know the master’s name, what kind of disciple am I?

If the disciple succeeds in his studies one day, he will surely bring fame to the master."

This sentence seemed to have touched the old man's inner core. It was true that he was a disgrace when he was alive, but if his disciples could live up to his reputation in the future, it would be a good thing.

After a moment of silence, the old man said, "Then remember this, I am from Jinguan City, and Nie...Nie Wugu in Jinguan City is timid."

As soon as Yang Qing heard it, he knew that the three words "Nie Wudan" were probably not his real name, but they definitely represented a past that the old man could not get over.

Yang Qing's guess was not wrong. The old man's original name was Nie Wujiu. After the battle of Wukong Mountain, his mental state became problematic and he developed inner demons. From then on, he could no longer participate in any affairs of the Night Watch.

As a result, he was ridiculed by his former colleagues and was jokingly called Nie Wudu.

The old man, feeling guilty about his teammates' death, could not face the word "Wujiu" in his name, so he accepted the derogatory name "Nie Wudan".

Afterwards, he fled to another place under an assumed name and became a tomb keeper in the Martyrs' Shrine in Hengzhou Prefecture.

Out of guilt, he even built several cenotaphs for his teammates.

"Disciple Yang Qing, greetings to Master Nie." Yang Qing bowed to the ground.

Afterwards, Yang Qing began to learn the knowledge of Taoist hand seals under the guidance of Nie Wudan.

When he learned that Yang Qing planned to attack the first soul point, he carefully explained to Yang Qing many details that needed attention.

The two asked and answered each other. After understanding Yang Qing's specific situation, Nie Wudan suggested that Yang Qing should attack Yingpo first.

The reason is that Yang Qing can quickly master the Taoist hand seal of the Nine-Character Mantra.

In fact, Yang Qing had no other choice. In order to impact the soul point, he must first master a method to train the soul point.

This nine-word mantra is a seal used to activate and develop human potential. Yang Qing is able to master it now, so it seems that he must be talented in activating his own potential.

The Heroic Spirit is used to stimulate the potential of the human body, so it shouldn't be a problem to make this the first target of attack.

As for other soul-related skills, Yang Qing doesn't know them now.

After communicating for an hour, the old man became tired.

After that, he explained to Yang Qing a hand seal called the Lingguan Finger Seal and sent Yang Qing back.

This shows that the old man’s health is indeed not very good now.

In order to hand over Genhu and Zishen to Yang Qing, he destroyed his own soul soldier. The frustration of his soul accelerated the decline of his body.
