Seeing Shi Liuli gritting his teeth, Chen Guanshui also sighed inwardly.

Why do they all like to take risks and then test their identities by whether they will come to the rescue?

Wouldn't it hurt your heart to take advantage of the pure and innocent love between us?

Of course, after what happened with An Zhisu, Chen Guanshui had already made a corresponding plan. He immediately laughed and explained:

"After all, you are from the Orthodox sect of Penglai. If I don't help you, I'm afraid I will become enemies with you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shi Liuli staring at him, and suddenly tears as big as pearls fell from her eyes.

Chen Guanshui was slightly startled and continued to use the excuses he had prepared, but no matter how he explained, Shi Liuli did not refute. She just bit her lower lip, stared at him with red eyes, and tears kept falling.

This is really too unfair, because women's tears are the best attack on men, especially when you know exactly why the tears are falling - of course, scumbag men are immune to this attack.

Chen Guanshui had undoubtedly not yet reached the state of perfection as a scumbag, so he was soon overwhelmed by endless self-blame and self-shame.

After a long silence, he sighed and said:

"Fellow Daoist, your tears seem to make it seem as if I didn't save you just now, but rather bullied you..."

"You are bullying me!" Shi Liuli said gritting his teeth.

What an unreasonable lady of Liuli! This sentence is quite reminiscent of the unruly temperament of the first generation version.

Chen Guanshui calmed down, his expression turned cold, and he said slowly:

"If your Daoist heart is unstable, I suggest you find a place to sit quietly and consolidate your state of mind."

"I have something else to do, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

He turned and walked towards the depths of the yamen, while Shi Liuli wiped away her tears vigorously and continued to chase him.

I want to see how long you can continue to act stupid!

If An Zhisu was here, she wouldn't care about anything and would just draw her sword and chop the bastard to death. But Miss Liuli is a reasonable person after all... She wants Chen Guanshui to admit with his own mouth that he is Luo Yan, and then settle the account with him for betraying the sect, running away from home, and keeping concubines. There is a priority in this.

Chen Guanshui entered the government office and quickly found the garrison commander's residence.

This guard residence has three bedrooms and a living room, as well as a beautiful courtyard with a pond, and is very easy to spot.

After checking every room, he did not find any useful clues. Chen Guanshui was just thinking hard about where the senior from Yuting Sect had gone when he heard Shi Liuli coldly say behind him:

"Maybe he committed suicide out of guilt for abandoning his wife and children!"

No, I'm just doing something serious! What are you doing here being so sarcastic?

Chen Guanshui did not dare to refute. He just pretended not to understand and not to argue with him, and continued to walk around the courtyard a few more times.

Looking at the design of the wing rooms in the east, south, west and north, they are in line with the theory of the five elements.

The east is associated with wood, so the east wing is the bedroom and has mostly wooden furniture; the west is associated with gold, so the west wing contains flying swords and magic weapons; the north is associated with water, so the pond courtyard is located in the north; the south is associated with fire, so the south wing has a furnace... Although all these designs do not constitute any formation, they fully reflect the designer's obsessive-compulsive disorder and perfectionism.

That’s right! If the center is earth, then there should be something in the center that represents the earth element.

But when Chen Guanshui looked carefully, he found that sandwiched between the western, southern and eastern wing rooms and the northern courtyard was just an empty, spacious open-air corridor connecting the courtyard and the wing rooms.

"It must be a tunnel without a doubt." Shi Liuli suddenly said.

Underground? Chen Guanshui thought about it carefully and there seemed to be no other possibility.

He stared at the ground beneath his feet, wondering where the trigger switch of the tunnel would be, only to hear Shi Liuli say again:

"What? Can't you release the Five Elements Divine Light? Do you want me to step aside for a while and come back after you use your magic?"

"Fellow Daoist." Chen Guanshui could no longer bear it. "Can you stop saying these incomprehensible words? What is the Five Elements Divine Light? Why don't I understand?"

"Heh." Shi Liuli just sneered, "You swore in front of my father's grave that you would be loyal to me for the rest of your life, but now you've swallowed all those vows and taken them to the toilet? Aren't you afraid that breaking your vow will anger the heavens, and that they'll send down a bolt of lightning to kill you when they pass through the tribulation?"

Chen Guanshui subconsciously wanted to retort, "When the hell did I swear an oath in front of my master's grave?", but he quickly reacted.

Cunning! Really cunning! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have almost fallen into your trap!

"Daoyou." He showed a helpless expression, spread his hands and said, "I am flattered by your favor. But I have made up my mind that I have nothing else to ask for in this life except longevity, freedom and great ease, so I can only let you down."

"Eternal life, freedom, great freedom?" Shi Liuli said coldly, "I don't think that's possible. Do you know? Shushan Jiangxiao has already come with a sword in hand. When she finds you here, that will be the day you, a bastard, surrender!"

Chen Guanshui was suddenly shocked: What, Senior Sister An is here too!

"Stop pretending?" Shi Liuli said sarcastically, "Why don't you continue to perform the same thing: 'Daoyou, I don't know what you are talking about, who is Shushan Jiangxiao'?"

"Ahem." Chen Guanshui knew that he had accidentally revealed a trace of fear just now, which was keenly caught by Miss Liuli, so he quickly said to make amends, "That Shushan Jiangxiao is also a lunatic! The last time I met him in the jungle of southern Xinjiang, I don't know why he identified me as a cultivator of the Eastern Emperor Dao, and he insisted on drawing his sword to kill me!"

Here he used the statement of nine falsehoods and one truth. Except for "identifying me as a cultivator of Donghuang Dao", all other contents were true. It also explained why he was frightened just now. Not to mention that his expression, tone and reaction were extremely natural, without any pause or hesitation, and naturally there was no flaw.

But he didn't know that Shi Liuli had already used magic to calculate and figured out that he and the Master of Shushan Taiyin Sword were the same person.

Hearing him admit that he was being hunted by Shushan Jiangxiao, she believed even more in her judgment that "this man is her husband". Moreover, he could lie to her in front of her, her own wife, with gritted teeth. She could not help but burst into tears. Her tears rolled down like a falling pearl curtain, and she sobbed intermittently.

Even though Chen Guanshui was reluctant, he had just been tricked before, so he didn't dare to hesitate again. He just showed an embarrassed and puzzled look and persuaded:

"I am really confused as to why you are crying like this... Let's put it this way, are you looking for your Taoist partner? What's his/her name, Taoist name, sect he/she comes from, and what are his/her characteristics? Please tell me, and I will ask my relatives and friends to help you find him/her, how about that?"

"My dead man's surname is Luo Mingyan!" Shi Liuli was originally filled with sorrow, but seeing that Chen Guanshui was still pretending, he immediately became furious and said viciously, "His Taoist name is Jingyun, but I don't know his real name!"

"He was born in Yuqing Penglai Temple, but no one knows where he had worshipped before that! His characteristics are that he is unforgivable and sinful. I wish he would be struck by thunder and burned by fire. He is hated by both humans and gods. One day he will have no choice but to flee back to Yuqing Temple, crying and kneeling and begging me to take him in and protect him!"

She said this with gritted teeth, which made Chen Guanshui secretly frightened.

Why is it so, why is it so! What have I done to make you treat me as an enemy?

"Master Sword Master." Taiyin Suming Sword reminded quietly, "The last half of her sentence probably means that she hopes you can turn back and return home to reunite with her as soon as possible."

"Nonsense, if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly!" Chen Guanshui complained, "What do you mean by returning to the right path after straying? And she just said that she hoped I would 'escape back and beg her', but she didn't say that she would agree! Su Ming, you fell for such a simple trap? If Ah Jing were here, he would never say such stupid things!"

Su Mingjian laughed and thought, then you should go find the Kunlun Mirror as your lifeblood!

Seeing that Chen Guanshui was speechless, Shi Liuli finally calmed down and suppressed his anger, just staring at him coldly.

stare!

Judging from the current evidence, it is not possible to confirm with 100% certainty that this Daoist Fellow Wangshan is Luo Yan’s identity panel.

But with her unique female intuition, she could already tell that the man in front of her was Luo Yan in disguise. Otherwise, if it was another strange man, how could he tolerate her unreasonable behavior? And how could he come to her aid when she was in danger?

It’s Luo Yan, it’s Luo Yan!

Shi Liuli became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He also thought about how he had pressed the matter, but the other party had just feigned ignorance. He suddenly wanted to just draw his sword and kill this unfaithful man, to see if he would use the Five Elements Divine Light to hit him.

Then he realized that with his weak strength, he would not be able to force him to reveal his trump card even if he tried his best. He felt discouraged and desperate for a moment.

Chen Guanshui also walked around silently, facing his wife's angry and murderous look.

Under the floor, under the floor...

He pulled out the Fire Dragon's Roar and then chopped it hard on the stone slab.

There was a loud bang, sparks flew, but the stone slab did not move at all, not even a crack was left.

Hearing Shi Liuli's chuckle behind him, Chen Guanshui turned around immediately and saw the young lady pursing her lips hard to hold back her laughter, glancing at him provocatively.

He was too weak to complain and turned his gaze back again. He had already confirmed two things in his mind:

First, there must be a secret passage under the floor. After all, ordinary stone slabs cannot withstand the cutting of flying swords, and this stone slab has obviously been specially treated.

Secondly, the special treatment means that it is highly unlikely that the stone slab can be destroyed by force. One has to either find the correct way to open it, or use the Five Elements Divine Light or the Tianji Divine Shuttle to cheat...but the latter cannot be exposed to Shi Liuli, as it is Luo Yan's unique ability and magic weapon.

Do I really have to ask her to step aside for a moment? Just saying that I have a secret method that cannot be easily revealed... That would be admitting it, okay?

Seeing Chen Guanshui at a loss, Shi Liuli continued to watch coldly, thinking to himself:

This stone slab is definitely protected by restrictions. It is impossible for you to break it open violently from the outside unless you use the Five Elements Divine Light.

I'll just see what you do!

Thinking of this, she felt a spontaneous sense of revenge, but also some nervousness and anxiety about seeing the truth.

On the other side, An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian walked in silence. When they met a lone Niweiluo on the road, they attacked together, first smashing the opponent into pieces (this would slow down the opponent's regeneration speed as much as possible), and then leaving quickly before the opponent recovered.

"How long will it take to find the object if we keep searching aimlessly like this?" An Zhisu became annoyed.

Xu Yinglian didn't say anything, thinking to himself, if you have a good idea, just use it. What's the point of getting angry when you don't have any idea? I'm not the Taiyin Sword Master. I won't fall for your petty temper!

However, An Zhisu naturally had no intention of blaming her. She just vented her anger by slashing at the nearby buildings with her flying sword.

"Strange." Xu Yinglian suddenly said, "Have you noticed... that there seem to be very few Niveluo in this city?"

"No." An Zhisu said with a cold face, "We killed two when we came in just now."

She insisted on calling "cutting the opponent into pieces" "killing", and Xu Yinglian did not care about this statement, but just said:

"Along the way, every time I pass through a city, I will count the number of Niveluo I encounter and their distribution locations."

"It seems that, unless affected by some special circumstances, most of the Niveluo will intentionally keep their distance from their own kind, which results in a very even distribution of Niveluo in each urban area."

"But only in this urban area, the Niveluo are particularly scattered..." Seeing An Zhisu getting impatient, Xu Yinglian went straight to the point, "In other words, there is something around here that attracted the nearby Niveluo away, or killed them."

"So what?" An Zhisu asked puzzledly.

"No reason." Xu Yinglian said helplessly, "I was just discussing with you to see what you think... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
