In the Portable Residence, Li Banfeng was discussing strategies with the Tang Sword.
"Er Lu, do you still rember the battle with Green Flower?"
"I’ve forgotten most things; I only have a vague impression of the minor details. I rember many people died in Beggar Bay, one wave after another. It never stopped. I didn’t know how to deal with it then. Beggar Bay, the place where the poor lived, had been hit by a natural disaster. It seed all too common, as if no one could withstand it. In the end, Green Flower and I fought to the death. My lord, you might not believe , but honestly, I wasn’t a coward in that battle."
Li Banfeng said, "I believe you. In the face of a tough battle, you were indeed not a coward."
The Tang Sword continued, "I rember I was very weak that day, feeble even before the fight, and I beca even weaker after it began. I stole so things from him, and after I did, I used the Greedy for More technique. I took his Internal Organs. I thought I could win, but I really can’t recall what happened next. All I rember is that my sword was still there; my sword kept talking to . I don’t rember what it said. When I could rember things again, I had beco the sword."
Although his mory was very vague, the Tang Sword had already provided quite a few key details.
Li Banfeng wanted to string this content into a clue, but his thoughts were in chaos. This opponent’s techniques were rather formidable, still having an aftereffect on Li Banfeng’s mind even now.
Disorder isn’t to be feared. We have a way to organize, a very intuitive way.
Li Banfeng wrote down both the descriptions from the Tang Sword and the Old Man of the Orange Orchard.
The first scene depicted Greenwater Beggar at Beggar Bay, killing with an epidemic.
During that ti, Greenwater Beggar, with a ferocious smile, squeezed the pustules on his face one by one, causing the surrounding people to die in succession.
Li Banfeng said to the Projector, "The action of squeezing pustules, make it more detailed."
The Projector explained, "I’m afraid if the image is too detailed, it will cause the audience to feel disgusted."
"No, visual shock is what this segnt needs."
SPLAT! A glob of pus splattered onto the screen. The wife shuddered, "Husband, do we really need to watch this at ho?"
Hong Ying snorted coldly, "The husband is the wife’s guide. Whatever Qi Lang wants to watch, we watch. Is it your place to talk?"
The Phonograph was furious, "You wretch, looking for a beating, are you!"
Hong Ying personally brought a wooden plank. "Go on, hit !"
The Phonograph laughed, "Ying Ying, co here. I won’t beat you today. I’ll open your eyes, let you gain so experience."
Hong Ying sneered, "If my eyes were opened, I would kill you with just a Passing Glance!"
The two continued to argue as the film rolled on.
Beggar Bay was strewn with corpses, and the Local Deity, Yuan Showu, had his combat power severely weakened.
Li Banfeng said to the Tang Sword, "Your cultivation thod should be like Elder Yao’s: not unilateral taking, but mutually supportive. I rember this should be called Living Water cultivation, with combat power fluctuating with the population. Greenwater Beggar took advantage of this, weakening your combat power by reducing the population of Beggar Bay."
After pondering for a long ti, the Tang Sword said, "I don’t rember clearly. It should be as you said, My lord, but this Yuan Showu in the film doesn’t look much like ."
The Projector said in a deep voice, "It’s the artistic conception that matters. Don’t nitpick too much."
The Tang Sword was still not convinced. "Yuan Showu is my na, but I am a human. What do you an by putting a donkey up there?"
In the battle scene between Greenwater Beggar and Yuan Showu, a beggar was fighting a frail donkey.
The wife’s laughs filled the room with steam, and Hong Ying snorted coldly, "Weren’t you just saying it was disgusting? Now you’re laughing so heartily?"
"Ying Ying, co here, your hair is done up wrong. Let fix it for you!"
Hong Ying spat, "You’d kindly fix my hair? Are you planning to use this as an excuse to hit again?"
"I really won’t hit you. Co on."
The wife did Hong Ying’s hair as, on the film screen, the beggar killed the donkey.
The Tang Sword was quite unsatisfied with this. "I battled him for a long ti, and you just gloss over it. Isn’t that inappropriate?"
The Projector ignored the Tang Sword, continuing to project the image where Greenwater Beggar sat beside the donkey’s corpse, consuming it and becoming enshrouded in layers of light halos, thus becoming the Local Deity.
"Er Lu, Greenwater Beggar should have created the Taoist Sect of Disease Cultivation after becoming the Local Deity. Is this process accurate?"
After much contemplation, the Tang Sword said, "My lord, I really can’t rember."
The Projector rewound the film a bit. "Seventh Guide, Greenwater Beggar was already spreading the epidemic before becoming the Local Deity. Disease Cultivation might have already beco a Taoist Sect at that ti."
With no evidence for the exact tiline, Li Banfeng could only consult the Phonograph. "Beloved wife, can a cultivator create a Taoist Sect after ascending to Above the Clouds?"
While doing Hong Ying’s hair, the wife responded, "There’s such a rumor, but Little Servant tried and wasn’t successful. This might be related to the cultivator’s talent."
Hong Ying cut in, "Qi Lang, I’ve also tried, and I wasn’t successful either."
The Phonograph scoffed, "All you think about is ’Fragrant Words Tales.’ What kind of Taoist Sect could you possibly create? A sect for love poems?"
Hong Ying humphed and said no more. Watching the portrayal of Greenwater Beggar spreading the epidemic, Li Banfeng felt there was a problem.
"Er Lu, Greenwater Beggar was spreading the epidemic in your territory, and you just let him do it, didn’t do anything?"
After a long thought, the Tang Sword said to Li Banfeng, "My lord, at that ti I only knew there was an epidemic. I didn’t know who was spreading it. Their cultivation level was undetectable, so I didn’t even know who Green Flower was."
