Chapter 2249 - Convincing the Head Priest to do Good (2/2)

The monk could tell this guy was more of an emotional person. He could start from his close ones!

“Human flesh can only last for a hundred years at most, but a soul exists forever. Have you ever thought of the possibility that humans are actually trapped in their flesh? Billions of people are trapped in their flesh in this world!” Wu Ku began his teachings.

“I can think of this world as a virtual world. The real us are actually playing a game or fighting a dungeon in these bodies. Is that what you are saying?” Zhao Manyan said.

“Exactly, you are very wise. The truth is, Master Salan is only trying to free the people of this world from their cages, so they can achieve real freedom,” Wu Ku preached.

“Is this how you justify yourself?” Zhao Manyan smirked.

“No, it’s real. If you are a sincere believer and devoted to our church, you can see the real you instead of your physical body. Our world is just one cage inside another. The bonds from our family, work, school… Think about it, a prisoner who has forgotten about the outside world might think they belong in the cage, but they will only realize what they want when they are truly free!” Wu Ku pontificated.

“So the people who died should thank you for freeing them?’ Zhao Manyan said.

“They don’t have to thank us, as we are family in the afterworld. Our efforts are worth it if we can free our brothers and sisters from their cages!” Wu Ku said piously.

“Do you have a brochure or something for me to refer to? I’m struggling to understand what you are telling me all at once,” Zhao Manyan went on.

“We don’t have a brochure. It might be hard to digest. I can explain it to you in a different way. Brother, you have a family, right? If I read your face and palm correctly… you must have a brother. Your father… mm, something bad must have happened to him,” Wu Ku said.

“Say, aren’t you a monk? Since when did you become a fortune-teller? And how are you so accurate?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in surprise.

“Monks do fortune-telling too! Since you have a brother, there’s a strong bond by blood between you two, since he’s part of your family. Therefore, you are willing to do a lot of things for him without any reason,” Wu Ku said.

“I had sex with my brother’s fiancée recently,” Zhao Manyan admitted calmly.

Wu Ku was stunned. How reckless were young people nowadays? How could he lay his hands on his sister-in-law…

“Let’s talk about your father. I believe your father is the person whom you respect the most…” Wu Ku quickly switched the topic.

“I last met my father in the hospital. He passed away because I removed his oxygen mask,” Zhao Manyan cut him off.

Wu Ku immediately swallowed the words he had just come up with.

Killing his father and hooking up with his sister-in-law! Yet the man was trying to convince him to do good!

He just needed to give the man a form to fill in his name, and he would already be qualified as a member of the Black Vatican in two hours!

“What I was trying to say is, your family is only bound to you by flesh, yet you are obliged to respect and treat them kindly. What about the others in the Black Vatican who will forever be your family after death? Shouldn’t you treat them better? Ugh, your situation is a little unique. You might have crossed the line with your family in your current life, so you shouldn’t treat your brothers and sisters in the next life the same way. It’s not too late for you to repent. There is salvation in repentance, young man!” Wu Ku berated him.

“Speaking of which, I have something to ask you. My brother and I are enemies of life and death now. It’s either he dies, or I die. However, if I kill him, my mother will be overwhelmed by grief. After all, she’s the only family member I have. It doesn’t matter what my brother did to me; if I kill him, I’m responsible for taking his life. My mother might follow my father’s path when she finds out about it. Do you think I should kill my brother or not?” Zhao Manyan asked sincerely.

“Why is your family so complicated? That’s a really tough question.. Please give me some time to think about it,” Wu Ku answered, scratching his bald head.
