Can it restore youth?
When Luo Tianhe and I heard what Master Jin said, we were overjoyed.
At this moment, what could be more important to us than regaining our youth?
The feeling is like an old woman, her beauty fading, lamenting in front of the mirror, suddenly hearing about a miraculous way to regain her youth and beautiful appearance. The excitement and longing surge into her heart instantly, and she can't wait to grab this lifeline, even willing to pay any price for it.
"You old codger, are you really that kind?"
Luo Tianhe stared intently at Master Jin, his gaze seemingly trying to see right through him.
He found it hard to believe what Master Jin said, after all, that old fox was always cunning.
Jin looked down at his disheveled appearance, then glanced at the pliers that Luo Tianhe was still holding, his eyes reddened, and he was about to cry.
"To tell you the truth, I want you dead from the bottom of my heart, but do I have the ability to do so now? My life is in your hands. If you die, how can I live on my own?"
Hearing this, we knew in our hearts that since he was afraid of death, we had something to hold against him.
What I fear most are those fearless and impervious people.
But this old man is cunning; what he says is half true and half false, making it difficult to believe or not believe, which is truly a headache.
"Tell me, how do you want us to turn back!"
I stared intently into his eyes, trying to catch any sign of his shifty gaze in his next words, not wanting to miss any detail that might expose a lie.
Master Jin answered readily, blurting out, "It's simple, just destroy the Mysterious Female Furnace!"
"How do you destroy it?" I pressed.
Jin Ye took a deep breath and slowly said, "You must enter the core of the Mysterious Female Furnace on the night of the full moon, when the corpse demons are most active."
“There is an ancient bronze bell there. You must use a peach wood mallet soaked in pure black dog blood to strike the bronze bell forty-nine times. Each strike will cause the Xuanpin Furnace to vibrate. When the bell stops, the Xuanpin Furnace will begin to collapse.”
As soon as Jin Ye finished speaking, Luo Tianhe suddenly tightened the pliers.
"Ah!" A bloodcurdling scream rang out, and Jin Ye's body instantly curled up like a shrimp, his eyes wide open, then rolled back in his head as he fainted from the pain.
But his body was still trembling violently and uncontrollably.
I stared blankly at Luo Tianhe, my mouth slightly agape, and it took me a long time to finally manage to utter a single sentence: "You...you really did it?"
"Otherwise what?"
Luo Tianhe's face was filled with murderous intent: "This old man clearly wants us to go and die. How can I tolerate him?"
Upon careful consideration, I realized that Luo Tianhe's words made perfect sense.
The method that Master Jin just mentioned seems simple, but it is actually extremely dangerous.
We've already experienced firsthand how eerie Sanjiapo is; any random zombie that jumps out could easily kill us.
Now, on the night of the full moon, when hundreds of corpse demons are at their most active and roaming, we are to delve into the core of the Mysterious Female Furnace and destroy it in such an inconceivable way. How is this any different from directly forcing us to our deaths?
I frowned, pondered for a while, and then asked, "What if the method he suggested is the only way?"
Luo Tianhe fell silent, and the room fell into a deathly silence, as if time had frozen.
After a long pause, he spoke softly, "He's only missing one lychee, it's not a big deal, is it?"
This sounds rather sarcastic and cryptic.
However, upon closer reflection, it seems...
It shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Jin Ye is already quite old, so he probably doesn't have much hope of having children.
Looking at the unconscious Jin Ye on the ground, I figured I still had to get some useful information out of this old fox. So I quickly walked to the side, picked up the half bowl of cold water on the table, and splashed it on Jin Ye's face without hesitation.
With a "splash," cold water splashed out, and Jin Ye jolted awake, slowly opening his eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and yelled at the top of his lungs, "You two bastards, you deserve to die a horrible death! How dare you treat me like this, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Luo Tianhe picked up the pliers and gently placed them beside Jin Ye's legs.
"Keep cursing, there's one more!"
Jin Ye stared at the gleaming pliers in Luo Tianhe's hand, his facial muscles twitching instantly. His angry expression froze, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed the words back, his face full of resentment and helplessness.
I knew in my heart that he wished he could tear us to pieces, but under Luo Tianhe's intimidation, he could only obediently admit defeat.
I crouched down and asked, "Is there any other way?"
Jin Ye, panting heavily, remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Yes, there are still six months until the next full moon. During these six months, you will join the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations."
Upon hearing the words "Strange News Investigation Bureau," the image of the man and woman I had encountered earlier immediately came to mind.
Their skills still impress me to this day.
I couldn't help but think that if I had their abilities, destroying the Xuanpin Furnace might not be too difficult.
"You mean, we should become powerful within six months, and then destroy the Mysterious Female Furnace?"
I pressed for an answer.
Master Jin nodded: "This is the best way. Otherwise, with your current strength, going there would be no different from sending yourselves to your deaths. The Xuanpin Furnace is surrounded by dangers, with many corpses and ghosts, as well as various strange mechanisms and restrictions. Without sufficient ability, you can't even get close to it, let alone now that you have opened the Xuanpin Furnace, which is even more dangerous."
