Chapter 120 The Map

Although Chen Shuyu was smiling as she looked at Ye Yang, her eyes were like a child waiting for a teacher to praise them, full of anticipation.

Ye Yang nodded expressionlessly, "Not bad!"

Chen Shuyu pouted and muttered softly, "Couldn't praise people in the last life, and it's still the same in this life. Some things, even reincarnation can't change."

"Cough, cough..." I coughed twice and said, "Shouldn't we be heading back to Yunyin Village now?"

Chen Shuyu said, "Fake Zuan Shan Bao has already transmitted what he saw back to Yunyin Village using a secret method. Let's take a detour back to Yunyin Village. Otherwise, we'll easily run into people from the Thief Sect."

I turned to look at Cao He and said, "Is this place real or fake?"

"Real!" Chen Shuyu said, "Everything I said on the road is real. Anyone with the mind to investigate can easily find the source."

"If the Thief Sect hadn't been plotting against Zuan Shan Bao for a long time, Master Liu wouldn't have come up with the plan to use Zuan Shan Bao to lure the Thief Sect away."

I asked in confusion, "Why did Zuan Shan Bao bury himself in the underground river?"

Chen Shuyu explained, "This is indeed the place where the shaman sent the Qinghe City water ghosts away. They opened a Yin-Yang passage at the end of the underground river, sending the water ghosts into the Yellow Springs. This place was also disturbed by the aura of the Yellow Springs, and Yellow Springs grass grew in the Yang world."

"Back then, the older generation of Zuan Shan Bao, after returning from the Ninth Mountain, was planning to bury himself on the edge of the River of the Underworld."

"However, he didn't explain why he wanted to do this. Even my subordinate didn't understand his grandfather's true purpose."

"However, he knew that Old Zuan Shan Bao had left behind a map that led directly to the Ninth Mountain."

I turned to look at Chen Shuyu and said, "Where is that map?"

"In Yunyin Village!" Chen Shuyu said, "I think Master Liu and Lin Zhao should have found the map by now, right?"

As we quietly left Cao He's secret burial site, Old Liu was pulling Lin Zhao to play chess in Yunyin Village.

Old Liu looked at Lin Zhao with a smile, but Lin Zhao, who was sitting across from him, was pouting, "I said I don't know how to play, but you still insist on dragging me to play, and you won't even let me win a single game. Is there any fun in playing chess like this?"

"Being able to win easily is also a kind of happiness!" Old Liu shook his fan and said, "The real confrontation between chess players is not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard."

Old Liu pointed at the chessboard with his fan and said, "You secretly changed the chess pieces three times, but you still can't beat me. That's because you only see the victory or defeat between us as a game of chess."

Lin Zhao said inexplicably, "Old Liu, I don't understand what you're saying."

Old Liu said with a smile, "I'm saying that although you didn't win on the chessboard, you won the entire Thief Sect off the chessboard."

"Me?" Lin Zhao didn't react for a long time.

Old Liu could only explain, "Now, the only map in the entire Yunyin Village that leads directly to the Ninth Mountain is in your hands. Think carefully about what happened during the day, starting from when you fought with someone."

"What?" After hearing this, Lin Zhao's first reaction was to look at the trash can in the room.

Shopping is a girl's nature, so Lin Zhao had been wandering around Yunyin Village all afternoon, visiting all the stalls. Later, she didn't know how, but she was tricked into buying a map that led directly to the Ninth Mountain of Yunlin.

When she was eating with the map in her hand, the restaurant owner told her that the map had been in Yunyin Village for decades and was not even worth a piece of waste paper.

Everyone knew that it was a fake map, and suddenly hundreds of copies of that fake map were distributed in Yunyin Village. Almost everyone in Yunyin Village had one.

Some busybodies had even gone to verify the fake map. As a result, either they were left on the mountain, or they ran down with their faces covered in dirt, carrying knives and searching the whole village for the person who distributed the map, wanting to tear him to pieces.

This map hadn't been sold in Yunyin Village for decades, but it finally opened for business today.

The most outrageous thing was that the owner also said: Today, it's probably a Thief Sect disciple who is about to graduate. The task his master gave him was to trick people into believing the fake map was real.

Lin Zhao was immediately furious and didn't even finish her meal. She took the map and went outside to find someone.

According to Jianghu rules: In this kind of place, buying things depends entirely on your eyesight. If you make a mistake, you can only blame yourself for not being skilled enough. There's no saying of going back to find someone to settle the score.

But Lin Zhao didn't care about that. She directly dragged the person who had tricked her out of the tavern and slapped him in the face without saying a word.

Now, half the street was in an uproar.

Lin Zhao had not only broken the taboo, but was also challenging the rules of the Thief Sect.

At that time, there were no fewer than ten Thief Sect experts who stood up and wanted to teach Lin Zhao some manners.

After hitting someone, Lin Zhao also knew that she had committed a great taboo in the Jianghu. For a moment, she stood there, not knowing whether to fight or not.

At this time, Old Liu separated the crowd and walked in. He stood beside Lin Zhao, looked around at everyone, and asked in a cold voice, "Who is in charge here? Step forward and speak."

A burly man stood in the crowd and sneered, "You broke the rules, you are provoking the Thief Sect, provoking the Jianghu rules. Everyone here is in charge. Everyone has the right to speak."
