Everyone looked at Ye Qing, who was montarily stunned and said, "I... I help out? Help with what?"
"Don't ask what you need to help with first, just say if you're willing or not?" Shijia said, "For everyone's safety, to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, to maintain world peace, are you willing to make a little sacrifice?"
If soone else said this, Ye Qing would definitely agree without hesitation. But coming from Shijia, it made him particularly uneasy. This old guy surely has no good intentions!
"Hey, are you gonna help or not?" Shijia called out to Ye Qing, "Everyone's waiting for your answer. Are you helping or not? Give us a definite answer. If not, then forget it, we'll just wait to die, no need to keep everyone waiting on you!"
Ye Qing cursed Shijia madly in his heart. This old guy is obviously settling a personal vendetta, deliberately putting Ye Qing in a difficult spot. Everyone was staring at Ye Qing, he couldn't refuse. But the things this old guy asked — were they humanly possible?
"Help... help with what?" Ye Qing asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry about that, just say if you'll help or not!" Shijia said.
"This..." Ye Qing was utterly helpless, and finally could only nod and say, "Tell , if it's doable, I'll definitely do it!"
"That's what you said!" Shijia laughed, "This task, you'll definitely be able to do it, it's a piece of cake for you!"
This old guy, going to the Northeast once, learned quite a bit of the dialect there.
"What exactly is it?" Shen Tianjun asked, "Is it very difficult? Can't we do it?"
"You guys are not very suitable." Shijia shook his head, took out a tattered piece of cloth from his body, and said, "This is a map. With this map, you can find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma entered nirvana. Once you find the place, you'll definitely find a way to deal with him!"
"You... you didn't find Patriarch Bodhidharma's place of nirvana?" Everyone asked in shock.
"Nonsense, how could I have found it?" Shijia glared, "We squeezed into a train back to Xiaolin Temple, took ti to find this map. Then squeezed back on a train, two days and nights were gone, how would we have had ti to find the place? If we went to find the place, by the ti we got back, you might all be dead!"
Though Shijia's words weren't pleasant, everyone had to admit the old guy was right. If he didn't co back in ti, they really wouldn't be able to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon this ti.
"Why didn't you take a plane?" Ning Qianshu suddenly asked.
"That's a funny question!" Shijia glared at him, "It's hard enough to skip fare on a train, how could you skip fare on a plane?"
"..." Everyone shut their mouths, indeed, never heard of skipping plane fare.
"You an you want to find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma entered nirvana, to find a way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Ye Qing looked at the piece of cloth, frowning slightly, "Then what about tonight? The Corpse Ghost Dragon is coming to kill tonight, if I go look for this thod now, it's too late!"
"I know it's too late, that's why I ca today." Shijia said, "You don't have to worry about the Corpse Ghost Dragon. With here, he won't break through Shenchuan City temporarily. Once you find a way to deal with him, we can destroy him completely!"
"You can hold off the Corpse Ghost Dragon?" Ye Qing's eyes widened. Didn't they say last ti that even Shijia couldn't fight him?
"What? Surprised?" Shijia looked at Ye Qing, "Don't you trust , or do you have too much faith in him?"
Ye Qing opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer.
"Master has a way to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon, that's great!" Shen Tianjun said, "Since master has a thod, why do we need to find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma entered nirvana? Can't we unite and slay the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"
"I can hold him off, that doesn't an I can kill him!" Shijia waved his hand, "You've got to separate the primary from secondary here!"
"Is there... is there a difference?" Ye Qing said speechlessly.
"Of course, there's a difference. I can stop him from killing people. But I don't have the ability to kill him!" Shijia said.
"So, no matter what, we have to find the place of Patriarch Bodhidharma's nirvana, right?" Ye Qing looked at Shijia, "Tell honestly, is there any danger where Patriarch Bodhidharma entered nirvana?"
"Why are you asking that?" Shijia said.
"Just answer , don't worry about why I'm asking!" Ye Qing said.
"Um..." Shijia scratched his head, speaking with a hint of embarrassnt, "It does have so danger, haha..."
"What do you an by 'so'?" Ye Qing imdiately widened his eyes, "You're asking to find the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma passed away, you must at least tell about its situation first. You can't just send to my death!"
"How do I explain this?" Shijia said, "Originally, there was no danger at the place where Patriarch Bodhidharma passed away. However, because Bodhidharma left behind the main Secret Technique of the Buddhist Sect there, that place was later sealed off by people from the Demon Sect. They built a Great Tomb using many evil thods to trap that location. So, to enter the place where Bodhidharma passed away, you must pass through that Great Tomb. And that tomb, it was designed by an ancient master of chanics, which... makes it sowhat dangerous!"
"Damn!" Ye Qing couldn't help but curse, as he had expected, this old geezer Shijia was asking him to do sothing far from easy.
Shijia said, "Although, your strength isn't weak now. Take this map, be careful when you go in, maybe you'll still co out alive!"
Ye Qing didn't speak, but internally he raised two middle fingers to Shijia. The words of this old geezer were not trustworthy at all. He had spoken lightly, but Ye Qing could be sure the danger inside was certainly not simple!
Huangfu Ziyu suddenly ca over, "Ye Qing, I'll go with you!"
"No way!" Ye Qing and Shijia shouted simultaneously.
"Why?" Huangfu Ziyu frowned at Shijia, "I can't just watch him go on this adventure alone."
"I know you two have a good relationship, but now isn't the ti for a little hissy fit." Shijia said, "The Great Tomb has restrictions, the strength of whoever enters it will trigger strong chanisms. To put it simply, if a person with Peak Master strength goes in, the chanisms inside target Peak Masters. If it's a Top-Level Master, the chanisms will exhibit Top Level force. Thus, the weaker one's strength, actually the better."
"Why is it like this?" Everyone wondered, this chanism was too bizarre.
"This designer was a genius; he designed this chanism with no inherent power supply. When outside people enter, it absorbs and uses their strength to power the chanisms. So the stronger you are, the stronger the chanisms beco!" Shijia waved his hand leisurely, "Now you know why I didn't go in personally, right?"
The crowd ignored him directly. Huangfu Ziyu said solemnly, "My strength isn't strong either, without the Sun Shooting Bow, I don't even have Top-Level Master strength!"
"I know, but you're a woman." Shijia said.
"Is this gender discrimination?" Huangfu Ziyu's almond eyes grew wide, clearly angered.
Shijia said, "Well, it's not gender discrimination, but the issue is, that is the place where Bodhidharma passed away, a Holy Land of the Buddhist Sect. A woman going in isn't quite appropriate!"
"Are you kidding ?" Huangfu Ziyu said urgently, "You can eat at, but you talk to about Buddhist rules?"
"My eating at is my business, I violate the Buddhist rules, but it doesn't an you can too." Shijia said, "I'm not saying anything to you, but if you go in, and any accident happens causing Ye Qing to fail to acquire Bodhidharma's Secret Technique, then we'd have no solution against the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Can you bear this responsibility?"
"You... You're just fear-mongering!" Huangfu Ziyu said anxiously.
Shijia shrugged, "Many things are better believed than not. Huangfu Ziyu, I still advise you not to go!"
Seeing Huangfu Ziyu wanted to speak, Ye Qing quickly said, "Ziyu, don't worry, I promise I'll be fine!"
Huangfu Ziyu looked at Ye Qing, eyes slightly red, but finally nodded slightly and said softly, "Make sure to be careful."
"Mm!" Ye Qing nodded vigorously, then looked at Shijia and suddenly asked, "If I bring soone weaker than myself into this Great Tomb, will it be dangerous?"
Shijia said, "No problem, as long as you two don't stand too close together, the chanism's power is separate."
"That's good!" Ye Qing nodded. He was considering bringing Handso Fatty Wang to find this place. Shijia had just ntioned that outside was a Great Tomb with many chanisms. In tomb-robbing, Handso Fatty Wang was the expert!
"If that's the case, then I'll arrange things and prepare to set off!" Ye Qing said.
"No rush," Shijia waved slowly, "Now the Corpse Ghost Dragon is watching Shenchuan City. If you run out now, it will definitely co after you first. Wait until night, after fighting it, then sneak out quietly unnoticed, he won't find you!"
Ye Qing stared at Shijia for a while, "Are you really that confident you can repel the Corpse Ghost Dragon?"
"Can't kill it, if not even repel it, what am I doing in Shenchuan City?" Shijia glared, "Do you think I ca to die?"
Everyone went speechless for a mont, Shijia's words truly had no filter. Yet, seeing his wily appearance, they actually believed him. Without full confidence, he probably wouldn't have co to die, right?
