Chapter 418: Chapter 86 Thunder Realm Walker (Seeking Monthly Votes) _2

"This place is quite nice," said Bai Lu as she looked up at the gingko trees and murmured softly, "Safe."

Safe?

Bai Chen was slightly startled.

"Gu Shen had done a divination for me," Miss Bai said as she stretched her limbs, drank some water, and then sat down again spreading her book open. "He told me that misfortune clings to me in the days to come and to reduce travel as much as possible."

Listening to this... Bai Chen’s expression turned slightly odd.

He could hardly hold back a laugh.

Although Gu Shen was a disciple of Master Qianye,

what she said... somehow sounded offhanded?

Nevertheless, if his sister believed it, it was a good thing.

These past few days, he had been overwhelmingly busy in the prison, and with the absence of this witch’s troubles, he could also relax a lot more.

"So... you’ve decided to stay in the temple hall? Don’t you want to go out and look around?" Bai Chen pondered aloud, probing.

"Mmm..."

Bai Lu spoke indifferently, "No need to go out. Changye has looked the same for over a decade. What’s there to see?"

"Is that so..."

Bai Chen’s smile grew warm, making a light-hearted remark, "Little Xiuzi came back today, are you sure you don’t want to go see?"

At that very moment, he withdrew his spiritual power.

A breeze swept past.

The gingko leaves rustled as they fell.

Bai Lu looked utterly surprised...

Little Xiuzi is back?

Such news had arrived quietly! Absolutely no one was prepared!

Even she had just found out!

...

...

"As for how exactly to dissolve these two array patterns... I am not very clear about that..."

In the courtyard of Hidden Dragon Temple, the stone table was covered with papers.

Tomb Ghost sat on a stone stool, scratching his head and looking at these sheets.

The papers were filled with drawings that resembled "ghostly symbols."

These were ancient text array patterns scribed by Gu Shen from his memory. After returning to the villa area, he had purposely called over Tomb Ghost, who had been responsible for the construction work of Qingzhong Array Patterns and successfully interpreted all two thousand six hundred fifty array patterns!

"You’re not clear?"

Gu Shen didn’t believe him at all and spat out, "It might be possible if you said you weren’t clear about one or two... ’not clear’ about all of them, how did you manage to construct ’Qingzhong’?"

Indeed.

Tomb Ghost had a very high success rate!

In a sense, the Qingzhong Array Patterns he had disassembled were 100% successful; every pattern could operate... and each was meticulously reversed.

If there were an exam paper, filled with correct answers written upside down,

could that person... really know nothing?

To Gu Shen, this answer seemed a bit like a provocation.

"It’s strange... when I see those drawings, I become immersed in them by myself," Tomb Ghost’s face was full of worry as he hugged his knees and looked up seriously, "As to why this happens, I don’t know."

Gu Shen fell into thought.

It shouldn’t be... according to Master Qianye, the ancient text array patterns of Qingzhong were supposed to be passive.

Or rather, there wasn’t supposed to be an active and passive distinction at all.

If the spiritual power or the triggering conditions were sufficient, then anyone could initiate "contemplation"!

If that was the case, then he had to admit, in the task of interpreting ancient texts, Tomb Ghost had more talent than himself... Gu Shen still needed to examine them meticulously to complete the first step of Dream Interpretation.

Whereas Tomb Ghost had swiftly completed the disassembling.

Although... it was in reverse.

"Don’t worry... I can’t lie."

Tomb Ghost looked at Gu Shen helplessly, spreading his hands, "Do you think you’re the only one with this question? Ten years ago, the Gu family and the Flower Banner had already taken preemptive action by investigating me; they gained nothing."

At that, the man’s face showed a proud smile, "If you absolutely need an explanation... it could only be that my body harbors an extraordinary bloodline that awakened upon encountering those texts."

Gu Shen stroked his chin, gazing meaningfully at Tomb Ghost.

Tomb Ghost flinched and shrank back, "You’re not going to take that seriously, are you... I have no such bloodline; I was just saying it, please don’t bleed me again."

"Again..."

Gu Shen couldn’t help but laugh, "From the sound of it, it seems you have been bled quite often, huh?"

Neither the Gu family nor the Flower Banner were lenient masters.

Having caught "Tomb Ghost," they would not let him go easily.

These years, the poor fellow must have endured experiments and investigations that restarted every few days.

"Another bloodletting, and there’ll be nothing left of me!"

Tomb Ghost exclaimed angrily, "That bastard Cui Zhongcheng, he tricks me every time saying it’s for a physical examination, then takes 400cc of blood! Who draws blood like that! The Flower Banner are vampires! Not a single one of them is good!"

Having just finished speaking, he then lowered his voice guiltily, "That... madwoman next door didn’t hear that, did she?"

"I’ll convey that exactly as you said."

Gu Shen had just spoken.

Tomb Ghost’s complexion changed drastically, he hadn’t even had time to beg for mercy.

Suddenly, a strand of brilliant blue wind surged from Fenglai Temple, shooting into the sky and falling majestically.

This wooden sword wrapped in whirlwinds, after landing, slowed abruptly and targeted Tomb Ghost’s cheek delivering a crisp slap on each side.

"Slap!"

"Slap!"

The wooden sword flew back.

The whole event transpired at lightning speed... in merely three to four seconds.

Tomb Ghost was still dazed; the two hilt slaps were not painful but were extremely loud.

Very humiliating indeed.

This time, he learned and pointed a resentful middle finger at the swaying wooden sword as it departed.
