The space where the Dragon Map and Bagua are located.
Xiaotu was sleeping soundly when suddenly a faint golden light emerged from the void. Just as it was about to enter Su Rui's soul, it was suddenly pulled by a strange force and disappeared into the Dragon Map Bagua.
Among the dense cracks of the Dragon Diagram Bagua, a tiny crack at the very edge suddenly flashed with golden light and slowly healed.
This scene did not alarm anyone. Even Xiaotu just muttered something in his dream and continued to sleep soundly.
…
Outside Tongqu County, in a deep cave deep in the mountains, a huge palace complex mysteriously appeared.
Although this palace complex also has red walls and green tiles, it is shrouded in black fog. Occasionally, there is a flash of light, which is also red and green ghost fire.
In the central shrine of the palace complex, a throne constructed from countless human and animal bones sat atop a high platform directly behind the temple. Strangely, no one sat on the throne, only a shrine glowing green. However, the shrine was empty, seemingly devoid of any offerings.
Beneath the temple stood two rows of black stone sculptures, each with a different shape, but all bearing unusually ferocious expressions. These sculptures were the size of an adult, but upon closer inspection, one could see that most of them resembled fanged demons and monsters!
"Chimu, have you found out the whereabouts of the divine seal?" A sinister voice suddenly came from inside the shrine.
A stone sculpture on the right side of the lower temple, the one that looked most like a human, but also had a green face and fangs, stepped forward upon hearing this. He bowed his head and replied, "Reporting to the Divine Lord, we have preliminarily confirmed that the Divine Seal is in Tongqu County in the Western Tang Yang World."
"Then why haven't you taken it back yet?" the sinister voice asked again.
"God, please allow me to report. The City God of Tongqu County seems to have noticed something and has set up a checkpoint on the road between the Yang World and the Mountain Realm. The children are blocked outside the road and are still trying to find a way to break through the Yang World's defenses!"
After the stone statue with a green face and fangs finished speaking, the temple suddenly fell silent.
Sensing the uneasy atmosphere in the temple, the stone sculpture with a green face and fangs lowered its head even more.
"I'll give you another month!" After a moment, the sinister voice sounded again.
"I obey your command!"
The green-faced, fang-toothed stone sculpture breathed a sigh of relief and responded hurriedly.
…
However, after Su Rui dealt with the two young men, he came to the yard of Captain Wu's house feeling refreshed.
Wu Qianqian is practicing the Chaos Cape Demon-Suppressing Stick Technique taught to her by Captain Wu.
Seeing that although her stick techniques were weak, she was able to perform a complete set of moves, Su Rui couldn't help but admire Wu Qianqian as a truly talented person.
Even with the Dragon Chart Bagua cheating, he didn't dare look down on warriors like Wu Qianqian. You know, most powerful martial arts were conceived by these talented warriors! Dragon Chart Bagua didn't have such strange ideas.
"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid a monster might suddenly jump out and kidnap you?" Wu Qianqian said to Su Rui after she finished practicing a set of stick techniques. Obviously, she must have heard about Su Rui's encounter with the wolf monster.
"Is it this kind of monster?" Su Rui took out the evil ghost mask and put it on, then asked Wu Qianqian with his fangs and claws bared.
"Ah..." Wu Qianqian screamed, but she didn't look like she was scared. After all, who would have blue eyes when scared?
Sure enough, Wu Qianqian threw away the wooden stick in her hand the next second and reached out to snatch the Nuo opera mask from Su Rui's hand.
"It's so beautiful!" she exclaimed as she examined it carefully. "I've wanted a Nuo opera mask for a long time, but unfortunately my father won't buy me one! He always says girls shouldn't play with such crude and scary things!"
Su Rui's brain suddenly short-circuited. Was Wu Qianqian's brain circuit really different from that of ordinary girls? She actually thought this evil ghost with a green face and fangs was beautiful?
But on second thought, it seemed normal. There weren't many entertainment activities in this world, and it was normal for children to like Nuo opera masks. Her aesthetic sense was just a little bit distorted.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Su Rui said generously.
"But I have one request. You can't tell your father that this is a gift from me! Otherwise he will blame me!!" Su Rui continued.
"Haha, no problem! I'm a trustworthy person and will keep my mouth shut!" Wu Qianqian narrowed her eyes with joy when she heard that.
"Qianqian, put the mask away first, so your father won't see it!" Su Rui stopped Wu Qianqian when he saw her eagerly putting on the evil ghost mask to play around. He then said to her, "Let's find Shi Tou later and go to the temple fair together... By the way, is he still copying books?"
"Yes, he came here yesterday and was scolded by my father. He must still be copying books in the county school now!" Wu Qianqian nodded and said with sympathy.
Su Rui heard this and looked sympathetic: "Why don't we go to the county school to visit this poor kid?"
Wu Qianqian became interested when she heard this: "Okay, didn't you just say you wanted to take us to the City God Temple Fair? Let's go to the county school and call him out!"
Su Rui shook his head. It was obvious that this girl was thinking about the City God Temple Fair!
Afterwards, Wu Qianqian brought Su Rui to meet the Wu family's grandmother and proposed to go to the county school to play with Shi Yi. Seeing that it was Su Rui and his servants, and that the county school was located in a prosperous area, the grandmother agreed to Wu Qianqian's request, but only reminded her to return before dark.
Being able to go out was already good enough, and Wu Qianqian naturally agreed to all the old man's instructions.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Wu, the two walked out of the Wu family yard.
For safety reasons, Su Rui asked Wu Qianqian to carry the wooden stick for practicing martial arts before going out.
The county school in Tongqu County is actually not far from the City God Temple, but its location is a bit remote.
