Chapter 275: Chapter 192 Enlightenment Scripture

The Suffering Scholar heard that the temple master had developed the idea of eliminating Gu Ling, and the expressions of kindness and calm were replaced by sternness.

He rebuked in a deep tone: "Do you know what you’re saying? If you get rid of Gu Ling, you are making enemies with the entire Bone Elder Association. You won’t even know how you died. The Music Master and Painter are still weighing over our heads, and the Saintess and Saint Heir will also awaken."

The Painter is "Si Chen," and the Music Master is "Zhong Guan," the top two divine offices of the Bone Elder, unchanged for fifty years.

"Gu Ling is not just Gu Ling, her flesh and blood are treasures of the Bone Elder Association, her body born for pain and disaster, don’t even think about making a move on her."

The Suffering Scholar rarely spoke so harshly, and the temple master, scolded, only dared to lower his head. It was not until the scholar’s mood eased a bit that he spoke again, saying,

"Dad, you misunderstood me, I don’t intend to act myself. Recently, Mingjiang Prefecture has seen the emergence of Hunger..."

"And then?"

"I’ve investigated with Qing Feng, but we couldn’t trace the source of the Hunger. However, I suspect it has a lot to do with the Alien Ghost, Shiweitian, behind the kidnapper..."

"You want to use Shiweitian’s hand to deal with Gu Ling?" the Suffering Scholar asked.

"That’s right."

"Then I advise you to abandon that thought. It’s one thing to do business with the other members of the kidnappers, but don’t even touch Shiweitian. This Alien Ghost is too unusual, the God Traveling Departments of Mingjiang Prefecture and Ping Shui Prefecture have been pursuing him for over thirty years, yet they haven’t even glimpsed his shadow."

Just hearing "Shiweitian" made the Suffering Scholar’s hair stand on end, and he said, "When an Alien Ghost exceeds ten years old, due to the deep essence of incense, it’s not easy to escape the God Traveling Department’s pursuit. Once they surpass twenty, they definitely can’t escape and can’t hide; at thirty, if the God Traveling Department still hasn’t caught them, what does that mean?

It means Shiweitian’s ambition is above the Heavenly Dome, potentially even attracting Daoists.

Cooperating with such an Alien Ghost isn’t a cooperation; it’s being a dog for Shiweitian!

Xiao Yu, my final word of advice to you... We can earn money, earn spirit bones, and Spirit Hearts, but we must maintain the last line of defense and never become a dog for the kidnapper.

Why do we have value? Because we treat the kidnapper as a dog, they fear us. But if our roles are reversed, our final value will be lost!"

The well-intentioned words of the Suffering Scholar didn’t truly sway the temple master.

The temple master looked mournfully at the Suffering Scholar and said, "Dad, I’m just a step away from the seventh incense... I need the kidnapper to provide a large amount of Spirit Blood and spirit bones to break through this final step."

The Suffering Scholar froze for a moment before letting out a long sigh.

"Xiao Yu, don’t rush at the crucial moment, let me think of a way for you."

...

Ever since borrowing Lao Yang’s gramophone, Zhou Xuan felt like he was back in his student days. Just as he was enjoying a good sleep, a loudspeaker suddenly started playing passionate music.

"I love this vast night~ and love the nightingale’s song~ and love those flowery dreams even more..."

Zhou Xuan got dressed, washed, and went downstairs, seeing Yun Ziliang looking entranced.

"Lao Yang was right; indulgence leads to ruin. Lao Yun, why don’t you collect more card fees and go play cards? You’re messing up the house every day."

Yun Ziliang: "..."

"Let’s make a deal; when others are sleeping, don’t listen to songs anymore. Have some decency, or else when the new gramophone arrives, I’ll take the mechanism out and lock it up."

After chastising Yun Ziliang, Zhou Xuan went to buy breakfast.

While waiting at the stall in front of Sister Cui’s place, he kept a close eye on Mu Hua.

During this time, Mu Hua seemed to sense Zhou Xuan’s gaze and looked up with a sincere smile.

"How can you be the Legend of the Hundred Spirits?"

Zhou Xuan couldn’t understand.

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Xuan also brought breakfast for Lv Mingkun and Little Fuzi and bought a newspaper along the way.

Back in the shop, he glanced at the newspaper and was quite pleased.

"It seems the Si Family indeed has cultured people; this newspaper is well-organized."

Yun Ziliang also came over and said, "Xiao Zhou, I got back last night. Did you get something good, something that zoomed right in front of me?"

"This."

Zhou Xuan slapped the Armored Horse on the table and handed it to Yun Ziliang, saying, "This was originally Lu Yusheng’s Magic Artifact, carrying it allows you to step over ten meters in an instant. Now modified by the Blood Well, it can teleport over a dozen meters, just like this."

Zhou Xuan grabbed the Armored Horse, focused his mind, and his form immediately disappeared, appearing on the opposite street.

In another instant, the Armored Horse lit up with Golden Light again, and Zhou Xuan returned to his original seat.

Very cool, very stylish.

"Kind of fun." Yun Ziliang picked up the Armored Horse again, wanting to play with this Magic Artifact: "Instant teleportation."

The Armored Horse didn’t flash, and naturally, he didn’t move.

Yun Ziliang was not reconciled, "Instant teleportation."

The Armored Horse still ignored Yun Ziliang.

"Instantly... instantly, I’m stuck right here." Yun Ziliang returned the Armored Horse to Zhou Xuan, saying, "The Blood Well wrote a spell on it, on one hand enhancing the artifact’s ability, on the other making it exclusive to you. Besides you, no one else can use it."

"That’s great, with this Magic Artifact, no matter how fast the kidnapper runs, it’s useless."

Zhou Xuan felt this Magic Artifact was born for cutting down the kidnapper.

The kidnapper runs quickly, with skills like "Wind under the Feet," but with this Magic Artifact, let’s see if you can run faster than my Magic Artifact can fly."

"Psh, this Magic Artifact is only good for catching kidnappers; it’s not very useful otherwise."

"How does it compare to the City God Armor?" Zhou Xuan asked.

This Armored Horse was modified by the Blood Well swallowing six Magic Artifacts plus the City God Armor.

"Pretty far off, the City God Armor is one of the four Magic Artifacts of the City God, much more advanced than this Armored Horse."

Yun Ziliang’s evaluation made the Blood Well agitated.

Blood Well raged within Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm, protesting Yun Ziliang’s insult to its "Blood Well Manufacturing." How could the City God Armor be compared to the Armored Horse it crafted?
