Master of Green Water
In the inner room of the top-floor office of the Ling Family Shadow Play Company, there hangs a Western oil painting depicting Ling Miaoying deep in thought by a lake.
Below the oil painting is a bed, He Jiaqing is sleeping on it.
When He Jiaqing opened his eyes at dawn, he saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed, holding two walnuts.
In the past, He Jiaqing would have thought this was a nightmare, but now he knows it's not a nightmare; it's far more terrifying than any nightmare.
Zhang Gunli's fingers trembled, and the walnut spun twice in his palm. "I've given you the lifespan, shouldn't we discuss repaying the debt now?"
He Jiaqing smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, aren't you in a bit too much of a hurry?"
Zhang Gunli produced an IOU: "This is the rule for loans of lifespan. Once the lifespan is provided, the debt must be repaid immediately. Otherwise, who am I supposed to collect from after you die?"
The rule for borrowing lives really is like this. He Jiaqing calculated that he wouldn't make it through, so he borrowed a month's worth of life from Zhang Gunli. Zhang Gunli gave He Jiaqing twenty-seven days' worth of life.
Why only 27 days?
This is also the rule in their line of work: a loan is for 30 days, but the Zhang Gunli is only 90% of the principal. This is called "Nine Out". When it is time to repay, you have to repay one month's principal, plus an additional 30% interest. This is called "Thirteen Return".
Now that the twenty-seven days of life have been paid, He Jiaqing must repay the debt immediately, because Zhang Gunli doesn't know how much longer He Jiaqing can live. Otherwise, if He Jiaqing dies and the debt is cleared, Zhang Gunli will suffer a huge loss.
He Jiaqing stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, look at my current condition. My illness has long been cured, and I can definitely pay off my debts."
Zhang Gunli looked you up and down. "I don't know how to treat illnesses, but your injuries are quite severe."
He Jiaqing was indeed seriously injured; his skull was fractured by Green Flower, and his head was somewhat deformed.
"These are just external injuries, nothing serious."
Zhang Gunli laughed and said, "I don't care whether it's a problem or not. As long as you're still alive, you'll have to pay your debts when the time comes."
He Jiaqing said, "Brother Zhang, just give me the time tonight. I'll return the principal and interest in full at 11 p. m. tonight."
After Zhang Gunli left, He Jiaqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly contacted He Haisheng.
"Third Uncle, was everything alright on the road?"
"Have a safe journey, we'll definitely arrive in Green Water City tonight."
He Jiaqing got up, picked up his clothes, and left the film company.
In the oil painting, Ling Miaoying has a melancholy expression, as if she is seeing He Jiaqing off as he leaves.
He Jiaqing arrived at Dragon Gate Road, opposite the Peace Mansion, and circled around the roadside twice.
He wore a ring on the index finger of his left hand. Its sharp lines and exquisite craftsmanship indicated that it was not just an ornament, but a ring specifically used in their line of work for unlocking.
The ring was spinning on He Jiaqing's index finger, helping He Jiaqing find the entrance to the unnamed place and the home of Green Water Bow.
How did He Jiaqing know that Green Water Bow's house was here?
When He Jiaqing impersonated Zhou Changhong and returned to Green Water City, he was caught Green Flower on Dragon Gate Road.
I almost lost my life after entering Green Flower's house.
He Jiaqing certainly remembered this house.
He bought a newspaper and appeared to be reading it as he walked, but in reality, he was constantly changing the location of his probe.
I tried changing locations more than a dozen times, but the ring still didn't register anything.
He Jiaqing was about to walk a few more steps when a woman holding a paper umbrella walked towards him. Seeing that He Jiaqing was only reading the newspaper and not paying attention to where he was going, the woman rolled her eyes at him and walked around him.
At the Auspicious Theater, Zhang Gunli was rubbing walnuts while listening to the opera. The opera being performed on stage was "Tears in the Wilderness," and the role of Zhang Huizhu was played by the famous actress Cheng Juqing.
He sang with such passion on stage that the audience was deeply moved, and Zhang Gunli's tears streamed down his face.
The Painting Cultivator, Mu Yuejuan, put away her paper umbrella, sat down next to Zhang Gunli, and handed him a handkerchief.
Zhang Gunli didn't take it, and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Mu Yuejuan frowned and said, "What do you mean? You don't like my handkerchief?"
Zhang Gunli shook his head. "It's not that I think your handkerchief is bad, it's that I'm afraid I can't afford the price."
"You shameless person!" Mu Yuejuan sneered. "Do you think I'm like you? Even if you shed a single hair, I'd demand three of them back!"
"Miss Mu, speak quickly. I paid for the tickets, and the play is currently playing a heart-wrenching part." Zhang Gunli seemed to really like the play.
"That hurts? Do you even have a heart?" Mu Yuejuan asked. "Does He Jiaqing owe you money?"
Zhang Gunli didn't answer directly, "What does this have to do with you?"
Mu Yuejuan laughed and said, "Yes, I'm going to kill him in a bit. Once he's dead, you won't be able to get the money."
Zhang Gunli nodded. "Go ahead and kill me. My little bit of money is no problem for me."
The two were talking in the theater, but no one around could hear them.
Mu Yuejuan took out a scroll and handed it to Zhang Gunli: "This is a new painting I made. What do you think of its quality?"
Zhang Gunli opened the scroll and glanced at it. "You want to pawn this? What price are you asking?"
"I don't want the money, I'll give you the painting. I just want to get some information from you: why is He Jiaqing trying to buy his lifespan from you?"
Zhang Gunli said, "Because he was infected by Green Flower's ailment."
"Are you cured now?"
"It's hard to say right now. As long as he can make it to tomorrow without dying, that would be really good."
Mu Yuejuan then asked, "Green Flower's ailment is extremely difficult to resolve. Do you think Green Flower spared him, or is there another reason?"
Zhang Gunli said, "I'm not Green Flower, so I can't say for sure what's going on here. But I haven't seen Green Flower for several days, and I don't know where he went."
Do you think Green Flower is still alive?
"It's hard to say for sure, but I think if Green Flower were still alive, He Jiaqing wouldn't dare to loiter around his house."
Mu Yuejuan was silent for a moment, then smiled sweetly, "I think I'll book this whole business. You won't try to take it from me, will you?"
Zhang Gunli unfolded the scroll again and looked at it. "Judging from this painting alone, its quality is still somewhat lacking."
Mu Yuejuan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and twirled the cigarette in her hand, turning it into a paintbrush. "Name your price. Once we've settled things here, you can't sell the Green Water City business anymore, and you can't sell He Jiaqing's information to anyone else."
The record player made some improvements to Green Water Bow's Beggar Bowl and handed it over to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng stared at the bowl for a long time.
The bowl was still filthy, speckled with spots, indistinguishable between mud and oil stains, and inside was a spoon.
It lay flat on the bottom of the bowl.
Li Banfeng looked at the direction of the spoon handle and asked his Wife, "This should be a compass, right?"
The record player exclaimed, "My lord has a good eye! This thing does indeed look like a compass, but it doesn't point south; it refers to the entrance to an unnamed place."
Li Banfeng turned the bowl around, and the spoon inside turned with it. "Wife, how do we use it to guide the way?"
"It can't guide us here; it only senses the entrance when we're within a hundred feet. Once we find the entrance, this spoon will spin around by itself. Then, my husband, push the spoon by the handle and continue spinning it, starting slowly and gradually increasing the speed until it reaches the appropriate level."
Then one can enter the unnamed land.
After his Wife had explained everything, Li Banfeng picked up his begging bowl and prepared to go to Dragon Gate Road. But then he thought that it would be easy for an ordinary person to arouse suspicion by wandering around the streets with Beggar Bowl.
The pendulum, being quite sensible, brought over a paintbrush. "Master, let me dress you up."
With just a few strokes, Li Banfeng, his face covered in mud, already had the air of a beggar.
The Wife exhaled a puff of steam that lingered around Li Banfeng's head for a moment, making his hair sticky and messy. She then sprinkled some dust on it, and his felt-like hairstyle was complete.
"My lord, bring out another set of worn-out clothes and let Little Slave help you put them away. Wearing this outfit when you go out will not arouse suspicion."
Li Banfeng looked at himself in the mirror, then reached back and took out the projector. "If we're going to do a show, let's go all the way. Since we're going to play beggars anyway, we might as well play a Green Flower!"
The projector projected Green Water Bow's image onto the wall. The Wife looked at it for a moment and said, "This is really a bit difficult. Green Flower's face is too long. We need to add an extra section for my husband. Also, with all these pustules on his face, we need to be careful."
The record player and the pendulum clock worked for over an hour before they finally let Li Banfeng leave.
Li Banfeng carried the bowl all the way to Dragon Gate Road, and the spoon in the bowl began to move.
The spoon handle pointed east. Li Banfeng walked east along the roadside, the spoon handle trembling back and forth, its direction somewhat unsteady.
As Li Banfeng was carefully observing the trend of the spoon handle, a sense of malice suddenly struck.
Looking up, Li Banfeng saw a familiar face.
He Jiaqing was standing under a street lamp, rubbing the lamp post with his right hand.
He searched for a whole day and finally found the entrance to the Unknown Land, but opening it was not so easy. He tried for an hour without any success.
The two met like this, and He Jiaqing was shocked, while Li Banfeng was also a little nervous.
What's going on?
How did I run into him?
Is he also going to visit Green Flower's house?
Should I greet him or fight him?
Li Banfeng forced a smile, shook the bowl in his hand, and silently watched He Jiaqing.
He Jiaqing saw Green Flower's face covered in pustules and shook the bowl at him.
For about a second, their eyes met.
The next second, He Jiaqing took off running and disappeared.
He Jiaqing ran to the Peace Mansion in one breath, entered his private room, took off his clothes, and began to examine his body, fearing that he might develop a rash or a boil.
Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected He Jiaqing to be able to run so fast.
Was he doing something shady just now?
Li Banfeng walked to the street lamp and looked at it carefully for a while, but he didn't find anything special. There seemed to be some movement in the bowl. Li Banfeng looked down at the bowl in his hand and saw that the spoon in the bowl had slowly turned around.
Has this been the entrance to the Unnamed Land?
Was it really that smooth?
Li Banfeng spun the spoon, first slowly, then quickly, until it reached a speed of over 500 revolutions per minute, Li Banfeng still didn't notice any change.
But the earring sensed the change. "Master, the noise around us has subsided."
Li Banfeng looked around and saw many pedestrians on Dragon Gate Road, some walking, some riding in cars, some standing and chatting, and some talking as they walked.
They had been on this road before, but now they suddenly felt that they were much farther away.
Li Banfeng patted the projector. "Shine a beam of light out."
The projector asked, "Where should we project it?"
Li Banfeng pointed to a man on the street who was hailing a rickshaw.
The projector shone its beam onto the man, but not a single spot of light remained on him.
Li Banfeng walked up to the man and waved in front of him.
The man did not react.
Li Banfeng went straight up and touched the man, his hand passing through the man's body.
This is a different space.
Li Banfeng had walked through Green Water City countless times; he knew Dragon Gate Road very well. The Peace Mansion across the street, the Admiration Tea House behind him, the Same Virtue Pharmacy to his left, and the Prosperity Textiles to his right—these buildings needed no introduction.
Li Banfeng even knew exactly how many lampposts were on the roadside.
These things can be seen but not touched because they are not in the same space.
Why does this happen?
When Li Banfeng and Green Water Bow were fighting on Suichen Road in Outer State, he was also taken into the Dark Dimension Space. There, Li Banfeng only see pitch black. But why is it that when he arrived here, the scene he saw was exactly the same as outside?
Because these are different Dark Dimension Space.
The Dark Dimension Space on Dragon Gate Road is Green Flower's home, while the Dark Dimension Space on Suichen Road is a battleground that Green Flower temporarily chose.
Li Banfeng groped around under the streetlights, unable to find the lampposts, but he seemed to touch a table.
I went to the teahouse entrance and searched around, but I couldn't find the door panel. However, I seemed to have touched an earthenware pot.
Green Flower's house is too eerie, and Li Banfeng doesn't know how to explore it.
From a visual perspective, Li Banfeng felt like his house was standing in the middle of the road; from an olfactory perspective, Li Banfeng thought he had stepped on Green Flower's chamber pot.
This kind of accidental stumble isn't going to work. Green Flower is cunning and treacherous; it's hard to say whether he might leave Li Banfeng with some surprises.
Li Banfeng took out a projector and asked him to record a circle around the area to see if he could find anything Portable Abode.
The projector was recording video when Gloves shouted, "Boss, there's treasure!"
"Where is the baby?"
"I can't explain it clearly. This place is confusing. Let me go take another look."
He Jiaqing stood on the balcony of the private room and looked down at the lampposts below.
The Green Water Bow I just bumped into by the roadside has disappeared in the short time I've been here; there's no doubt he's gone back to his place.
Why did Li Banfeng let Green Flower go? Fang Li had already used that kick and severance, so why didn't he send the Green Water Bow to the most fatal spot?
On second thought, He Jiaqing felt that something was not quite right.
When Green Water Bow and Li Banfeng were fighting, Green Water Bow kept asking Li Banfeng for the bowl.
At that time, Li Banfeng was preparing to use the A Farewell of Ten Thousand Miles Technique, but it seemed that the bowl of Green Water Bow had been lost.
But when we met just now, Green Water Bow was holding a bowl. When did he find the bowl again?
Was that person really Green Water Bow?
Green Water Bow was the last person He Jiaqing wanted to see. After much thought, He Jiaqing dared not take the risk and did not plan to show his face on Dragon Gate Road in the near future.
That evening, the buttons on his shirt trembled as He Haisheng delivered a message: he had arrived in Green Water City.
He Jiaqing prepared wine at Yideju to welcome his Third Uncle.
Looking at the table full of food and wine, He Haisheng shook his head slightly and said, "Jiaqing, let's just have a simple meal. I want to return to Yuezhou tonight."
He Jiaqing asked, "What's the matter that's so urgent?"
He Haisheng sighed and said, "Han Mingqi has been arrested by the Dark Star Bureau, and Big Head has also been imprisoned. Although Zhu Junlong and the others were transferred in time, Han Mingqi knows a lot of things. If he tells us everything, we will have to find another way to deal with him."
He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "I was worried about this too, so I think you shouldn't go back to Yuezhou. I'm worried that the Dark Star Bureau will come after you."
He Haisheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've been in Outer State for so many years, it won't be easy for you to find me. But there's one thing you have to tell me the truth: is Green Flower really dead or not?"
He Jiaqing sighed, "I'm really not sure right now."
He Haisheng's face darkened. "You brat, are you unsure, or are you not telling me the truth?"
He Jiaqing gave a wry smile and said, "Uncle, you don't even believe me? This matter concerns my life; how could I lie to you?"
He Haisheng was a little worried. "If you're not sure, try to stay away from Green Flower. Anyone who has had contact with him knows that Green Water Bow is vengeful. Unless he dies, the previous matter will definitely not be over."
The uncle and nephew drank a few cups, and He Haisheng insisted on returning to Yuezhou. He Jiaqing couldn't stop him, and the two said goodbye.
Back at the film company, He Jiaqing waited in his office. Around 11 p. m., Zhang Gunli quietly entered the room.
"Have you prepared everything?" Zhang Gunli didn't waste any words, sat down in a chair, and took out an abacus from his pocket.
If I borrow your life, what will I give in return?
The simplest solution is to repay with one's life.
Zhang Gunli borrowed He Jiaqing's life for a month, giving him 27 days' worth. Including interest, He Jiaqing has to repay him with 39 days' worth of life.
The interest rate is a bit outrageous, but Zhang Gunli has always followed this rule. The two of them have signed an IOU, and it's all agreed upon. There's nothing to be coy about between them.
"You'd better be ready, or I'll collect my debt!" Zhang Gunli rubbed the walnuts in his hands a couple of times, preparing to take He Jiaqing's life.
He Jiaqing waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I can't give you my life."
Zhang Gunli frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to renege on your debt?"
He Jiaqing laughed and said, "I can afford to pay for thirty-nine days of life, and I wouldn't renege on my debt. However, I'm injured, and repaying with my life would also deplete my vital energy. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Could we exchange something for my life?"
Zhang Gunli rubbed the walnuts together and said, "What do you want to pay with your life?"
"Use pills. Pills can be exchanged for cultivation, and cultivation can be exchanged for time. Saving time means saving your life. The price is fair."
Zhang Gunli laughed and said, "You're right. You can indeed use pills to extend your lifespan, but our method of exchanging them isn't one day for one day. Lifespan is more valuable than cultivation. Different grades of pills have different calculation methods. If we use Golden Essence Pill to exchange them, it's one for twenty."
The meaning of "one for twenty" is that if you owe someone thirty-nine days' worth of life, you will repay it with seven hundred and eighty days' worth of pills, which is equivalent to nearly eight Golden Essence Pills.
Even if you kill a seventh-level cultivator and hand him over to Red Lotus for refining, you might not be able to refine eight Golden Essence Pills. Zhang Gunli is truly ruthless.
He Jiaqing took out eight Golden Essence Pills from his pocket and placed them in front of Zhang Gunli. After examining their quality, Zhang Gunli nodded repeatedly and said, "Good stuff, the quality is impeccable. I still need to give you some change."
He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, you're being too polite with such a small amount. If I need to do business with you again in the future, please take good care of me."
Zhang Gunli laughed and said, "Great idea, Brother He. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. Here's the IOU. I'll take my leave now."
He Jiaqing verified the IOU and confirmed its authenticity before escorting Zhang Gunli to the office door.
After exchanging a few polite words, Zhang Gunli left. He Jiaqing interlaced his fingers, burned the IOU, mixed the ashes with the dust in the room, opened the window, and let the ashes drift away on the night breeze.
Rubbing his forehead at his desk, He Jiaqing felt a little sleepy and was about to go to sleep when he suddenly smelled a perfume scent.
Who is this, flirting with people in the middle of the night?
Shen Rongqing also lives in this building, but she doesn't have that kind of personality, nor does she have those methods.
He Jiaqing got up and looked around the room. His ears twitched as he vaguely heard the sound of water.
Looking up, she saw that in the Western oil painting hanging on the wall, Ling Miaoying, who was originally sitting by the river in deep thought, had become a woman holding an umbrella.
The woman closed her umbrella and walked out of the painting to stand in front of He Jiaqing: "Young Master He, it's been a long time."
He Jiaqing smiled and asked, "Senior, have we met before?"
The woman's lips curled slightly, a hint of reproach in her voice. "We were acquainted back on Sage Peak, how can you turn your back on me like this?"
He Jiaqing looked at the woman, then at the Western oil painting on the wall, and bowed to her. "If I am not mistaken, you must be the Painting Cultivator, Mu Yuejuan, Senior Mu."
Mu Yuejuan was even more displeased. "The word 'senior' already sounds jarring, and you have to add 'older' to it. Can't you just call me 'sister'?"
First look at Mu Yuejuan's appearance, then look at Mu Yuejuan figure, observe her joy and anger, listen to her smile and reproach. Ordinary people would be captivated by her if they were here.
He Jiaqing remained calm. He first clarified a fact to Mu Yuejuan: "The one you saw on Sage Peak was not me. Someone was impersonating me. I have suffered a lot of injustice because of this."
Mu Yuejuan chuckled and said, "Young Master He, there's no point in saying such things. I'm not here to ask you for the Sage's name or the Imperial Jade Seal. What's the use of bringing up these old stories with me?"
It's really not very useful.
He Jiaqing was wronged, and Mu Yuejuan, who was involved in the matter, naturally knew this.
Mu Yuejuan continued, "Sister, I've heard about it too. You and Green Water Bow had a fight over the matter at Sage Peak. That old beggar is ruthless and even wanted to kill you. I came here this time to help you settle things. I have some connection with Green Flower, so I think he'll listen to me if I offer him some advice. Why don't we go to his place now?"
He Jiaqing waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Senior, please don't scare me. Green Water Bow tried to kill me. If I went to his residence, how could I possibly come back alive?"
Mu Yuejuan said in surprise, "Oh my, Young Master He, you're afraid of something? I saw you standing at Green Flower's door for most of the day today, and judging from your expression, you weren't hiding from him."
The person I met on Dragon Gate Road was indeed Mu Yuejuan.
He Jiaqing's smile remained unchanged, and he remained silent.
Mu Yuejuan approached He Jiaqing, gently lifted He Jiaqing chin, and said softly, "Young Master He, I know what you've done. Green Flower's family must have a lot of good things. You must have reaped quite a lot this time, right?"
He Jiaqing shook his head slightly and said, "Sister thinks too highly of me. I can't possibly get into Green Water Bow's house. I really don't have that kind of ability."
Mu Yuejuan laughed and said, "Young man should be a little more arrogant. You don't have to speak so maturely. If you hadn't entered Green Flower's house, how would you have paid off Zhang Gunli's debt? That kind of Golden Essence Pill shouldn't be so easy to find, right?"
If I'm not mistaken, those Golden Essence Pills were collected by Green Flower to reward his disciples.
Don't you agree with this logic?
He Jiaqing felt a tightness in his chest. Mu Yuejuan had been in this room ever since he started paying off Zhang Gunli.
I didn't even notice.
Wait, I didn't notice, did Zhang Gunli not notice either?
He knew Mu Yuejuan was here, and he should also know why Mu Yuejuan came. Mu Yuejuan might have been brought by him!
Zhang Gunli, that bastard!
He Jiaqing, controlling his emotions, explained to Mu Yuejuan, "Senior, the eight Golden Essence Pill I gave Zhang Gunli..."
It was refined by me using the Red Lotus. The Mystic Life Crimson Lotus was once in my possession; you should have heard of it.
"I really haven't been to Green Water Bow's residence, nor have I received Green Water Bow's contract, senior. I'm truly not lying to you."
Mu Yuejuan's fingers were still tracing He Jiaqing's face. "Young Master He, can this lie fool others?"
Trying to fool me is rather boring.
"I knew all along that Mystic Life Crimson Lotus had been in the hands of Ye Song Bridge's Local Earth God. All those lies you made up, about Lu Xiaolan and Li Banfeng, are fake!"
He Jiaqing was speechless. This situation was truly absurd. He admitted that he had once possessed the Mystic Life Crimson Lotus, but Mu Yuejuan did not believe him.
Mu Yuejuan brushed a strand of He Jiaqing's hair aside. "According to the rules of Pro State, I can't just take things from the Local Earth God, but now that Green Flower is dead, it's not against the rules for me to take over."
"Good child, Green Water City is too big for you to handle, nor should you. I can give you his elixirs, his magical treasures, and all his good things, but there is one thing you cannot take: you must leave his contract with me."
After saying that, Mu Yuejuan burst into laughter.
Before the laughter subsided, Mu Yuejuan's fingertips trembled, and her fair fingers suddenly transformed into a paintbrush.
If a paintbrush were to leave a mark on He Jiaqing, it would be enough to cut open He Jiaqing's face.
He Jiaqing raised his hand first, leaving a mark of ink on Mu Yuejuan's face.
As soon as Mu Yuejuan presented her testimony, the ink stains caused Mu Yuejuan skin to crack and bleed.
"Mystical Empty Hand!" Mu Yuejuan was very surprised. She did not expect that He Jiaqing would steal her technique without her noticing.
Looking again, He Jiaqing had already jumped out of the window.
Mu Yuejuan then pressed on, "Young Master He, I'm truly doing this for your own good, but you really can't accept the territory of Green Water Bow!"
"Let's collect them slowly, don't rush!" Li Banfeng and the gloves were picking up the treasures from the Green Water Bow.
Green Water Bow's residence is very large and has many good things, but because the residence itself is not visible, Li Banfeng can only see the scene outside the residence. He has not yet figured out what the layout of the residence is.
"Master, be careful, there are quite a few traps in this house."
Sizzle!
One paper figure stepped into the trap and was torn to shreds. Another paper figure appeared and took over the investigation.
In the residence of Green Water Bow, Li Banfeng arranged a total of 372 paper figures. Through the positioning of these paper figures, Li Banfeng roughly figured out the outline of the residence.
He spent a full sixteen hours finding six Profound Essence Pills and one hundred and ninety-three Golden Essence Pill in Green Water Bow's residence. The remaining Purple Radiance Pill and Mystic Scarlet Pill were too numerous for Li Banfeng to count.
"That's strange. Why are there only pills and not even a single magic weapon?" The glove searched around and smelled something between the two paper figures.
"Master, there's a treasure down there, probably a high-level Spiritual Object."
Li Banfeng searched the room with his gloves, and touched the cold ground. While groping around, he found a hidden compartment.
The hidden compartment was locked. Although he couldn't see it, Li Banfeng could tell by feeling that there was more than one lock on it.
The man with the gloves said confidently, "Honey, don't worry, I'll be able to open this lock in less than half an hour."
At Knife Ghost Ridge, Cui Tike was still secretly observing the battle.
The tenacity of Green Water Bow shocked Cui Tike. He fought a bloody battle on Knife Ghost Ridge for several days without being harmed by the venom of DaoLao Ghost.
The number of DaoLao Ghost casualties is also staggering. If this continues, and if Green Flower can hold out for a while longer, he might actually be able to break out of Knife Ghost Ridge without being infected by DaoLao Ghost's venom.
In the blink of an eye, Green Water Bow repelled another DaoLao Ghost. Wan Jinxian had fewer and fewer DaoLao Ghost at his disposal, and many of them questioned DaoLao Ghost Fang Puxian's abilities.
"Hoo hoo hoo, ya ya hoo!" One of the DaoLao Ghost said that Wan Jinxian was not a smart person, and following Wan Jinxian would only lead to death. Everyone should choose another leader.
"Ya ya ya hoo ya!" Another DaoLao Ghost said that Wan Jinxian was not a brave person. Many DaoLao Ghost died, but he always came back alive.
Another woman DaoLao Ghost, was the most emotional. She said that Wan Jinxian was short and not a useful person!
Green Flower stood up; he seemed to be trying to break through.
After such a long battle, DaoLao Ghost's fighting spirit is almost gone. Once Green Water Bow breaks through the first encirclement, he will likely sweep through Knife Ghost Ridge with overwhelming force.
To prove his strength, Wan Puxian decides to intercept Green Water Bow alone.
The outcome of the battle was almost certain; no matter what state Wan Jinxian was in, he could never be a match for Green Water Bow, yet he still charged forward.
Bang!
Wan Jinxian crashed into Green Water Bow.
Thump!
Green Water Bow fell to the ground.
He fell to the ground?
How is that possible?
Cui Tike was extremely surprised. The weakened Green Water Bow collapsed to the ground and could not stand up.
PS: What's wrong with the Green Water Bow?
