Chapter 188 - Feel Pain (5) (1/2)

Chapter 188 Feel Pain (5)Although the array looks rather simple, Gao Ge still has a feeling of achievement after cracking it.

“Yeah, you are right. The stairs are set in a series. Each series has nine stairs. If the wide stairs show up before a turn, then you should only step on the wide ones; if the narrow stairs appear before a turn, then you should only step on the narrow ones likewise. The array method is rather simple, but since you can figure it out without any basic knowledge, you are sort of talented.” Master Guanshan says with a smile.

Gao Ge laughs.

“Do you think it is quite fun?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Then do you want to try something else?”

Gao Ge shakes his head heavily, “No, I don’t.”

“Fine. After all, there are plenty of opportunities. You are quite talented. Let me ask you. If I teach you array methods, will you accept it?” Master Guanshan asks.

“If you are willing to teach me, I am more than happy to learn. As a saying goes, more skills, greater chances of survival.”

Master Guanshan feels a bit unhappy about Gao Ge’s calling it as a skill.

Then a screen appears in front of Gao Ge. He walks past the screen and sees a table and chair.

On the other side of screen is a wooden bed, on which there is an old man in a black coat. The man is leaning against the bedrail with a pale face as sere as dried bark. His eyes are turbid. He is smiling at Gao Ge, except that his smile appears quite rigid.

“Boy, are you sure that you can heal me?” The old man stares at Gao Ge with his eyes half narrowed.

Gao Ge walks to him and frowns.

On approaching the old man, he smells a rancid smell.

It is like there’s something dead under the bed.

“Don’t look around. It’s me.” While saying that, the old man raises his clothes. A large part of his flesh at the chest has festered.

“This is…” Gao Ge is astounded.

Some green liquid is oozing from the festered skin. It looks so terrifying.

Whoever sees this will feel his blood freeze.

“I’ve become like this after being hit by a palm.”

“A palm?” Gao Ge says in surprise, “You must be poisoned.”

“The world is so big that nothing is to be surprised at. What made me become like this is called Deadwood Palm. Hit by the palm, even a huge tree will quickly wither. Luckily, I’ve reached the realm of Master. That’s why I can live until now.” The old man shakes his head, saying, “Boy, do you think you can save me?”

“I can have a shot anyway.” Gao Ge grins and says, “Sir, at the moment, even if I don’t think I can save you, I must make it anyway. Otherwise, the sovereign and the honorable elders must kill me.”

Master Guanshan laughs, “I agree, but as long as you agree to learn the array method from me, I can promise you that no one dares to lay a finger on you.”

“Even the people of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect are included?” Gao Ge asks deliberately.

Master Guanshan gets angry, “Can’t I exaggerate a bit? Generally, no one dares to pick on the Xiaoshan Sword Sect. It has two strong cultivators at the realm of Master, both of whom are more capable than me. I am talking about their cultivation before I was injured. I have no idea what level of cultivation they have reached by now.”

Gao Ge pulls a chair over and sits by the bed. He stares at the wound for a while, saying, “The one who practices the Deadwood Palm is really brutal.”

“If you have a chance to learn, will you do it?” Master Guanshan asks.

Gao Ge thinks for a while and says grinningly, “Of course I will. After all, someone has to be brutal. I would like to be the brutal one.”

Master Guanshan bursts into laughter again, but this time, his laughing seems to affect his injury. He starts to cough heavily. Finally, he stops coughing and inhales. He nods his head at Gao Ge, saying in a nice tone, “I like your honesty. You are much better than the hypocrites. At least, you will say out what you are actually thinking.”

Gao Ge pulls a long face.

Master Guanshan’ words don’t sound a compliment at all!

The old man does have a unique way of complimenting others!

“It is not a bad thing. At least, I think so. Generally, vile characters can live longer than hypocrites.” Master Guanshan says.

Gao Ge reaches out his hand to grab Master Guanshan’s arm.
