Grey Master, that rat demon, truly never got up early without profit.
I had helped Snake Mother before.
Yet without lamp oil, he truly had no intention of helping me.
I was somewhat speechless, but I had expected it.
Seeing that I said nothing, Grey Master smiled and said:
"Jiang Ning! Just tell me! What do you need?
Climb mountains of blades, dive into seas of fire.
I, Grey Master, will definitely brave fire and water..."
Hearing that, I spoke directly:
"Grey Master, here's the situation.
You know my Third Senior Brother, Zhuang Sheng, right?"
"Oh! Little Zhuang! I know him. What happened?"
I took a breath and continued:
"Over in Scenic Town, my Third Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng has been possessed by the Golden Spring demon. That demon has now become a Demon Buddha..."
"A Demon Buddha? A Black Monk?"
Grey Master's eyes widened in terror.
"Yeah! A Demon Buddha-class Black Monk.
Now I need you to go to the place where Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng's bones are buried and keep watch for me. Confirm their movements, and report to me immediately if anything unusual happens!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Grey Master looked utterly shocked:
"Huh? Watch... watch a Black Monk?
The Golden Spring demon—I remember that more than ten years ago, didn't your master kill it in Kun City?
Wh-what's going on?"
I continued answering:
"It's a long story. That thing wasn't completely dead.
It used some method to burrow into my senior brother's body.
During this time, it has been using the Zhen-Dui Water-Fire Formation Feng Shui at his burial site, or some other method, to make itself stronger. It has already become a Demon Buddha-class Black Monk.
We've found a way to deal with it, but for now, we need you to keep watch..."
