Feng Yi said with an almost pleading tone of voice: ”Senior, let's try to harmonize it a bit. I reckon that this warrior's necklace is of no use to you, but I really need this necklace.”
”Fine, return the pill to me. You can take the necklace!” The white robed old man said in an unmoved manner.
Feng Yi clenched his teeth, ”There's no room for negotiation at all?”
The white robed old man squinted at him, and said with a smile that was not a smile: ”What, you want to fight with me? It just so happens that I haven't fought with anyone for a long time. As long as you can force me to stand up, even if you win, you can take away the necklace and pills, right? ”
”Then junior will respectfully accept your request!” After Feng Yi finished speaking, he shouted loudly, ”Senior, be careful!”
”Hehe, you should be careful!” The white robed old man gently waved his sleeves, and a sharp gust of wind forced Feng Yi to take two big steps back.
Feng Yi calmed his breath, knowing that if it was just based on martial arts alone, he was far from being this elder's match. However, if it was just forcing him to sit up, he could give it a try.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi used a footwork technique and started to circle around the white robed old man.
”An insignificant skill!” The old man didn't budge and just sneered.
Feng Yi's figure became faster and faster, and when he arrived behind the old man, he suddenly threw out a palm strike.
It was almost impossible to see how the old man had turned his body, but Feng Yi's palm had already collided with the old man's palm.
With a dull thud, Feng Yi was pushed back a few steps before he managed to stabilize himself.
Feng Yi's face paled, he knew that this palm of the old man had already shown mercy, if not he would have definitely suffered internal injuries, and it was just that his breathing was not good right now.
Feng Yi cupped his fists, ”I lost! I thank senior for showing mercy. ”
The old man smiled, ”You still have a chance to choose. Pills and necklace, you choose them yourself!”
Feng Yi's expression changed, and he resolutely turned and walked out.
”You stubborn brat! What good is it for you to save this old man? If you can't get the necklace, you'll fail your mission, you understand? ” The old man shouted angrily from behind.
Feng Yi turned around and smiled indifferently: ”Even though this junior isn't some good man or woman, I know that I have been entrusted with the task of being loyal to others. If I can't get the necklace, then it will just be a mission failure. If I give up on the pill, then I will have failed.
After he finished speaking, Feng Yi laughed towards the sky, then casually turned around and left.
When Feng Yi returned to the black-robed old man's room once again, he discovered that the black-robed old man had already fainted once again. Feng Yi hurriedly put the Great Channel Opening Pill into the old man's mouth. After that, he immediately dissolved the medicinal energy into his dantian and began to open up his acupoints for him.
After a moment, the old man let out a long sigh and sat up.
”Young man, please protect me for a moment.”
”Senior, you just need to rest assured and heal your injuries. Junior will protect you.”
Chu Yunge carefully walked along the passageway for around a hundred and fifty meters, before reaching the end of the passageway. A stone door blocked her path.
After a light knock on the door, a pleasant female voice came from inside, ”Please enter.”
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely gentle.
Chu Yunge pushed the door and entered, the room was around a hundred metres wide and the four walls had all sorts of diagrams. The picture was filled with lines that Chu Yunge could not understand, and two round points, black and white, were distributed within it.
A woman around the age of forty was holding a horsetail whisk while deep in thought while looking at a picture.
Chu Yunge stood there for a long time, but the lady did not seem to notice her at all, as she stared intently at the picture in a daze.
”Junior Chu Yunge greets senior.” Chu Yunge bowed in a rare manner.
However, the girl merely gave a soft ”hmm” before continuing to look at her drawing.
”This junior is here to obtain the Warrior's Necklace. Would senior be able to tell me his whereabouts?” Chu Yunge was angered and raised her voice.
The woman slowly turned her head and sized her up, ”The necklace is with me, but why should I give it to you?”
Only now did Chu Yunge understand that she wasn't the only one who was unreasonable in this world, all of the women here were unreasonable.
”This item is extremely important to junior. I wonder how senior will be able to give it to junior.” Chu Yunge asked patiently.
The woman pondered for a moment before pointing at a map. ”Can you understand this?”
Chu Yunge walked to the wall and looked up.
There were many black and white dots on the picture, arranged in a regular pattern. Chu Yunge suddenly remembered that she had seen this map before. After thinking hard for a while, Chu Yunge suddenly remembered that this map was the prototype of the River Turtle Book.
According to legend, during the ancient Fuxi era, a dragon horse had appeared in the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of the Luo River. It was said that the Dragon Horse had carried the 'River Diagram' and was dedicated to Fuxi. A godly tortoise emerged from the Luo River in the Luo Yang region during the Yu Dynasty, carrying Luo Shu on its back and offering it to Yu. Yu in turn succeeded in controlling the water, the world was established as the Nine Prefectures, and then set the law of nine chapters, governance of the society.
That's right! The Hutu Book!
Chu Yunge nodded, ”Junior recognizes this map. However, we do not know the name of this map. ”
