However, this short syllable was like a life-saving straw that fell from the sky for me and the water elementalists.
I couldn't help but feel happy. I looked at the water elementalist and he smiled before pulling me into his embrace.。
"But don't be happy too early. Whether or not you can cure the girl's illness depends on your luck.”Looking at us hugging each other, Boss Zhao smiled and walked towards his shop.
What did he mean? Water elementalists and I followed Boss Zhao to the paper shop.
When I entered, I glanced at the door gods on both sides. When Boss Zhao went over, the two of them were obviously submissive. However, when it came to me and the water elementalist, their eyes instantly widened in anger. Their faces were so ferocious that they looked like they wanted to eat us up.
I was shocked and quickly followed the water elementalist. I took the initiative to hold his hand, afraid that they would rush over if I wasn't careful.
I've been to the paper shop once, and the scene of me buying my own dowry is still vivid in my mind. Looking at those paper figurines and palanquins, it seems like the water elementalist had proposed marriage to me not too long ago.
After passing the paper shop, they should be able to reach Boss Zhao's residence. Looking at the courtyard in front of me that revealed its true appearance from Moonlight Star, I couldn't help but sigh at my own shortsightedness.
If water elementalists 'haunted houses were elegant and Concubine Xi's mausoleum was gorgeous, then Boss Zhao's residence could only be described as towering. It was only a small room on the outside, but the inside seemed to be connected to another space. As we continued to enter the depths of the residence, the omnipresent pressure made it difficult for me to breathe.
As soon as he entered the door, a pair of boys and girls who looked like they were from a painting came forward to welcome him with lanterns. The girl took Boss Zhao's coat and retreated to the side respectfully with the boy. However, the strange thing was that their seemingly lively eyes did not have any luster. Their smiling faces also seemed numb, and their eyes were empty.
Soon after, we arrived at a place that looked like a garden. I call it a garden, but it's just a subjective judgment of what I see through my own eyes. Because those flowers and plants are really different from what we usually see. A black crystal-like tree, a fiery red flower that was about to burn, and every single thing emitted a soul-stirring aura.
Along the way, I didn't dare to look at those things carefully. I could only grab the water elementalist and follow behind Boss Zhao.
After walking for a long time, Boss Zhao finally stopped. Unable to contain my curiosity, I poked my head out from behind the water elementalist and carefully examined the room.
The only difference between God Dao Zi and Boss Zhao was that he was a charlatan while Boss Zhao was a god. He was half-baked, while the other party was orthodox. What he collected was at most scrap metal, while what others collected was obviously rare treasures.
For example, if they were all amulets, they would be crumpled up in God Dao Zi's hands. However, the amulets in Boss Zhao's hands were all neatly placed in sandalwood carved boxes. Another example was the same horsetail whisk. Shen Daozi's horsetail whisk was a bare rod without a single strand of hair left, while Boss Zhao's horsetail whisk was a high-grade horsetail whisk that was neatly hung on the wall and emitted fluorescent light.
The more I looked at the things in the room, the more I felt sorry for God.
The water elementalist wasn't as curious as I was." Boss Zhao, what you meant just now was…" He was still concerned about my condition.
Boss Zhao didn't immediately answer the water elementalist's question. Instead, he sat down on a yellow pearwood chair in the middle of the room and took a sip of the tea that the girl handed him.
"Have a seat." Boss Zhao put down the teacup in his hand and signaled with his eyes. A cup of steaming tea appeared on the table in front of me and the water elementalist.
However, we didn't have the leisure to drink tea now. The two of us only looked at Boss Zhao, hoping that he could solve our predicament as soon as possible.
"Do you know that I'm in business?”Boss Zhao picked up a paper fan from the table and played with it.
"Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you.”The water elementalist immediately understood the meaning behind Boss Zhao's words and answered without hesitation.
"You're just a water ghost. What can you have that I'm interested in?”Boss Zhao glanced at the water elementalist." The most valuable thing on you is probably your inner core.”
"No!" Thinking about the outcome of losing the inner core, I stood up from my chair and blocked the water. I said righteously," I'd rather die than let the water elementalist take out his inner core!”
Even if my body has recovered, without his company, I would still wish I were dead.
"Girl, don't be agitated. I was just joking.”As if amused by me, Boss Zhao stretched out his hand to me and gestured for me to sit down.
I sat down again with a heart full of worry. I thought to myself, could it be that I brought water elementalists into a den of thieves? If Boss Zhao were to harm water elementalists here, we would really be in a hopeless situation.
"I don't want anything from you, but I want you to do three things for me. It can be considered a test for you. As long as you can complete these few tasks, I will point out the way to save this girl for you.”
Boss Zhao put down his fan and looked at us with an enigmatic smile.
"Deal!" Before I could say anything, the water elementalist stood up and agreed to Boss Zhao's conditions.
I say, you didn't even listen to what the other party proposed and just agreed? I sat on the chair and tried my best to glare daggers at the water elementalist, who looked like he was unafraid of death.
However, my words were like water that had been poured out. Ignoring my silent protest, Boss Zhao stood up from his chair. His stern expression had changed, and he walked over to the water elementalist's side with a smile.
As if sensing that his decision had been a little rushed, the water elementalist frowned slightly when he saw the unfathomable smile on Boss Zhao's face. However, he still asked resolutely,
"Then, what are the three things you want me to do?”
"Sure enough, it's straightforward!" The smile on Boss Zhao's face gradually deepened. Then, he approached us and lowered his voice." Do you know the Mountain God Temple at the back of the mountain in Qinshui Bay?”
When I heard about the Mountain God Temple at the back of the mountain, I felt a chill down my spine. A chill instantly spread throughout my entire body.
Speaking of the mountain temple at the back of Qinshui Bay, it was a creepy place since I was born.
It was said that a long time ago, the mountain god really lived in the temple. At that time, people still went to burn incense in an endless stream to pray for the mountain god to bless the weather. Later on, whenever there was a full moon, the cries of women would come from the temple. This was because a woman who went to worship on the night of the full moon had never come out after entering. Some people said that the person living in the temple was not a mountain god but a demon. He had harmed an innocent woman and turned her into a malicious ghost.
Later on, if there were children or women of the same age in the village who approached the Mountain God Temple, they would disappear without exception. In the past, the ancestors of Qin Shui Wan had organized Taoist priests with magical power and brave young people to crusade against this "monster", but they were all thrown out of the back mountain by a powerful barrier around the temple.
The Taoist priests fled in fear, and the remaining villagers no longer dared to go to the back of the mountain to have any ideas about the Mountain God Temple.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:0131201912:42PM
