In the living room of his sister's villa.
Zhong Yun sat on the sofa and looked at the ancient key wrapped in a yellow talisman, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Little Sister and Tuan Tuan were staring at him, their eyes full of questions.
"Little Dough, ask him what's going on?”Little Sister whispered.
Tuan Tuan looked at Zhong Yun's solemn face and scratched his head awkwardly." Why didn't you ask?”
"Aren't I afraid that he'll scold me? You don't know that this little fraud has a very bad temper.”Dai Xiaomei said with lingering fear.
Tuan Tuan rolled his eyes at his little sister." You're afraid of being scolded, but I'm not?”
"It's okay, he's not that close to you, so he definitely won't scold you."”
"Aiya, stop hesitating. Don't you want to know what happened today?”
"Let me remind you that today's matter is all aimed at you. If you don't ask clearly, you might encounter danger.”
" I…" Tuan Tuan hesitated. She really wanted to know what had happened today.
Also, was that locksmith here to open his Life Spirit Lock?
"Alright, I…"
Just as Tuan Tuan was about to speak, Zhong Yun raised his head. He looked at the two people who wanted to say something but hesitated and said calmly,""Ask whatever you want to ask. Don't make it sound like you're constipated.”
Hearing Zhong Yun's words, Tuan Tuan blushed instantly.
The silly girl glared at Zhong Yun angrily." Can't you use another adjective? We're girls. How can you say that?”
"A girl?" Zhong Yun couldn't help but laugh." Hehe, old woman, you really can't see yourself clearly. You're a girl?”
"Forget about Tuan Tuan, you're already a Gold Saint. Don't you know that?”
"You've gone too far!" Daai Xiaomei jumped up in anger.
"Alright, alright." Tuan Tuan hurriedly stopped his little sister." Are you still going to let me ask?”
"Humph!" " Hmph!" The little girl snorted." I'll settle the score with you later."”
Tuan Tuan was really speechless when he saw Little Sister Dai huffing and puffing.
Little Sister Dai usually had a good temper. Why was she so angry when she was with Zhong Yun?
He really had to hand it to these two people.
Tuan Tuan sighed helplessly, then looked at Zhong Yun and asked,""Zhong Yun, what happened today? Was it a coincidence, or was it premeditated?”
"Of course it was premeditated." Zhong Yun said in a deep voice," If I'm not wrong, the incident just now was done by the mastermind.”
"Him again?" Tuan Tuan was shocked." What is he trying to do? Didn't he already get the Styx River Jade? Why are you still holding on to me?”
"Although he has the Styx River Jade, you are very important to him," explained Zhong Yun.”
"Or rather, after you obtain the ability of a ferry officer, you are very important to him.”
"If my guess is correct, his ultimate goal is to take you away and then use the locksmith to unlock your Life Spirit Lock and control you.”
"In this way, the ferry officer is on his side.”
" That…" At this moment, Dai Xiaomei raised her hand. She looked at Zhong Yun and said carefully," Can I ask you something?"”
Zhong Yun rolled his eyes at her." Ask! But let me remind you, it's best to ask something useful. If you ask those stupid questions, you can go upstairs and sleep!”
"If you knew that, I would definitely ask an idiot question.”The little girl grumbled unhappily, but she did not refute Zhong Yun directly.
"Little Fraud, if your guess is correct, why didn't the mastermind capture Tuan Tuan before we arrived?”
"When we arrive and save Tuan Tuan, wouldn't we be looking for trouble if we carry out the plan?”
Upon hearing Little Sister Dai's question, Tuan Tuan looked at her with admiration and even gave her a thumbs up." Daidai, that's a good question. It's not an idiot's question!”
The little girl looked pleased." Of course, my intelligence is amazing."”
Zhong Yun looked at her with disdain." You're really panting just because I say you're fat!”
"Since you're so smart, analyze your problem.”
" I..." The little girl was speechless." How would I know? If I knew, why would I ask you?"”
Zhong Yun rolled his eyes." Don't be so arrogant if you don't know."”
Tuan Tuan saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again and quickly stopped them." Zhong Yun, you've seen and experienced a lot. Although we have some Underworld official positions, we're just noobs.”
"I still have to rely on you to explain this kind of thing.”
Hearing this, Zhong Yun rolled his eyes at the little sister before regaining his composure.
He looked at the ancient key in his hand and said in a deep voice,""I guess it has something to do with the locksmith.”
"Eh?" Little Sister Dai and Tuan Tuan were stunned at the same time, not understanding what was going on.
Zhong Yun didn't waste any time and explained directly,""You don't understand. Locksmiths are very special existences in the underworld.”
"Normally, he wouldn't move around easily, much less appear in the human world.”
"His main responsibility is actually to guard Truth Listener.”
"Di Ting?" Little Sister Dai was stunned." Are you talking about the monster that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised?”
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know this.”Zhong Yun chuckled.
The little girl pouted." Who are you looking down on? Didn't you play the plot of Journey to the West before?"”
"That's true." Zhong Yun nodded and continued," Locksmiths are very special in the netherworld. They are even very useful in the world of the living.”
"It's just like when an emperor or general appears in the Yang Realm, they will do their best to find a locksmith and unlock their locks at all costs.”
"Because of this, locksmiths were tainted by a lot of karma, causing them to be plagued by misfortune.”
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva experienced the suffering of the locksmith, so he summoned the locksmith to his side and used the Buddhist Dharma to resolve the locksmith's misfortune.”
"In order to repay Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's kindness, the locksmith was willing to watch over Diting for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. From then on, he no longer cared about the affairs of the world.”
Hearing Zhong Yun's words, Tuan Tuan was puzzled." In that case, why did the locksmith come out again?”
"This might have something to do with the locksmith asking for your help." Zhong Yun's eyes narrowed as he said in a deep voice.”
"Actually, I have another guess."
"According to legend, there are two people in the underworld who can hire a locksmith because the locksmith owes them a favor.”
"One of them…"
Halfway through his sentence, Zhong Yun suddenly stood up, his expression turning grave.
Daai Xiaomei and Tuan Tuan jumped in shock and hurriedly asked,""What's wrong?"
"Not good, Jie Kong is in danger!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
