Grudge Breaker

Chapter 366: Golden Immortal Divination
"Master Jinxian has a good strategy."

"Master Xuanwu, you flatter me."

Deep in the narrow path behind the second cave of the Ghost Market, Qin Che sat in the main seat in Lord Jinxian's house, picking and choosing the delicacies on the table.

Lord Jinxian, who had disappeared for many days, sat below to accompany him. Although there were chopsticks and plates in front of him, they were white and clean, and it was obvious that they had not been touched. Only the wine cup was empty and full, full and empty again.

Only very few people know that Qin Che is "Xuanwu", one of the four bosses in the Ghost Market. Although the two caves run by Lord Jinxian belong to the property of the boss Baihu, they are all bosses after all. Even for the famous Lord Jinxian, moderate respect and humility are necessary.

Seeing that Qin Che had almost finished eating, Lord Jinxian stood up, limped, took out a glass bottle full of red liquid from the shabby chest beside him, and presented it to him respectfully.

Qin Che took it and raised his eyebrows, "What is this?"

"The deer antler blood was just collected at three o'clock yesterday morning, and I just arrived at the ghost market this morning."

Qin Che's eyes lit up and he was obviously interested.

"(xì xì)? Is this the antler blood of the sacred deer from the Kongmei Xiwangmu Mountain?"

"That's right, Master Xuanwu has good vision."

"That's really good stuff!"

Qin Che took a closer look and saw a circle of candle dragon wax on the mouth of the glass bottle, which showed that it was sealed very carefully.

The blood of deer antlers in ordinary empty sleep is already a holy product for replenishing yang. Drinking it with realgar wine while it is fresh can make men powerful and brave, and one can fight against a hundred. This is a divine product among deer. Not to mention drinking its blood, even eating a bite of meat can get several times the effect of ordinary deer antler blood. You can imagine the exquisiteness of the liquid in this bottle.

"Hurry, hurry, realgar wine!"

Qin Che was so overjoyed that he quickly opened the seal and drank the deer antler blood mixed with realgar wine in the glass bottle three times. Immediately, his energy was filled as if the heaven and earth were first separated, and the momentum there was like thousands of dragons leaping and tens of thousands of horses roaring.

Speaking of which, Qin Che has been indulging in flowers for years. Although he is in his prime, he occasionally feels powerless. Now that he has drank this blood, he has the capital to remain vigorous for thousands of years and can do whatever he wants.

Now he can only sigh that he is not like the emperor in the world who has three thousand concubines in the harem. Otherwise, he would have to be the only one to guard the pass, enjoy himself every day, and dominate the entire harem!
Qin Che rarely stood up and bowed deeply to Lord Jinxian.

"Master Jinxian is truly an immortal! From now on, you can command all the strange caves and strange people under Xuanwu's seat at will."

"Oh, no! Master Xuanwu, you are embarrassing me!"

Lord Jinxian hurriedly stood up to help, and almost stumbled due to his limp. Instead, Qin Che supported him. The two looked at each other and laughed, then politely made way for each other to sit down.

"Master Jinxian, please call me Little Marquis from now on. The name Xuanwu is too sensitive."

Qin Che smiled naively, just like the silly prince he usually was, but a cold gleam flashed in his eyes occasionally, which made people intimidated.

"I would like to ask Master Jinxian, how did you get the news about the man in the hero's tomb? And how did you know that he would come today?"

"My Lord, I have lived in the Ghost Market for my entire life. I cannot say that I remember the appearance of every rock around the Ghost Market, but it is not difficult to find that there are people living in the mountains for a long time. In addition, thanks to the influence of the White Tiger boss, I have some connections in the Dark Pavilion. It is only a matter of time to find out Jing Zhe's background."

"As for when he will come back, I have observed him for a long time. He will come back at most after being away for five days. It seems that there is some special aura in that cave that can suppress the evil in him. In short, it has never changed in all these years. He has been away for three days this time. Calculating the time, he will definitely appear within two days."

Qin Che narrowed his eyes and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with Lord Jinxian's answer.

He didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Lord Jinxian had any real ability to tell fortunes. Those seemingly plausible predictions were just posturing after he got the news from the Dark Pavilion, the largest intelligence organization in the world.

Therefore, if Master Jinxian said that he knew that all these were calculated by himself, Qin Che would definitely think that he was very defensive against him and was not telling the truth. But obviously, Master Jinxian's answer satisfied Qin Che, so he had to ask the next question.

"How did Lord Jinxian know the whereabouts of the missing girl from the Ruan family? How could he get it from this person in the cave?"

In fact, Qin Che didn't care about Ruan Mianmian's life or death or whereabouts at all. She was just of average appearance, so he could play with her, but he really didn't like her if he really wanted to marry her into the mansion.

If it weren't for his cousin Qin Xueying who cared about him and repeatedly asked him to look for people secretly, Qin Che would have been extremely reluctant to take Ruan's mother on this trip.

When Qin Che thought about the expression on Ruan's mother's face towards him in the past two days, he became even more annoyed. A poor man dared to act so arrogantly in front of him. It was obvious that he was using his cousin Zhuang Yuheng's identity to pressure him!
Humph, just wait, it will be soon. Before long, even the identity of the Lord of Sikong will belong to him, Qin Che. Then he will see how the Ruan family will curry favor with him.

……

Seeing Qin Che's uncertain expression, Lord Jinxian did not rush to speak, but just kept pouring wine for him, and waited for the right moment to speak.

"My young master, do you remember the word that the princess asked you to bring last time? As for what you just asked, I know everything from the word."

"You mean the word 'Ruan'?" "Exactly."

After this reminder, Qin Che indeed remembered that Qin Xueying cut a "Ruan" character from the letter that Ruan Mianmian had written to her in the past, and asked him to bring it to Lord Jinxian to tell Ruan Mianmian's fortune, one to predict her whereabouts, and the other to predict good or bad luck.

"This king would like to hear the details."

Qin Che raised his eyebrows slightly, clearly not believing that the person in front of him could really tell fortunes. Instead, he wanted to hear how he would make up a story.

Lord Jinxian did not refuse. He took out the word "Ruan" from his pocket and pointed at it with his finger like a dry branch.

"Let's talk about finding someone first. Ruan belongs to the wood element in the five elements. The '阝' on the left symbolizes hills and highlands, suggesting that we should go to a place with undulating terrain and lush vegetation to find Noble Ruan."

"Shuowen Jiezi says, 'Ruan is the Wuruan Pass of Dai County', and its original meaning is related to dangerous border areas. Looking at the Meijie, the border area with abundant vegetation and many caves and hills must be Pingyang."

"Where exactly is it in Pingyang? Allow me to continue to analyze it. 'Yuan' contains 'Er', which belongs to the metal element, and is the metal in the wood. However, this metal does not overcome the wood, so it is mostly gold in the cave, either metal minerals or weapons and iron tools absorbed by the soil. There is no such place in the ghost market, but there is one halfway up the mountain outside the cave, which is the hero's tomb."

"But whether Lady Ruan is in Pingyang or in the Hero's Tomb, even though I am not powerful, I can still find out this information. Since the lady is not here, I have to further analyze the word 'Ruan'."

"'Yuan' is the same as 'source'. There is a secret to fortune-telling, 'Yuan means beginning, so to find someone, one should trace their source'. This means that to find Noble Lady Ruan, one should start from her family roots, such as ancestors."

"That is why I dare to send a message to you, my Lord. Please go to the cave and wait. Everything will be answered."

"As for good or bad luck, the word 'yuan' is not 'complete'. As the saying goes, 'good or bad luck is hard to tell until things are revealed'. Please forgive my incompetence."

"So that's how it is! Wonderful, wonderful! Master Jinxian, I offer you a toast!"

Qin Che's praise disappeared completely when he raised his head to drink, and his eyes were shining brightly - he didn't understand fortune-telling, nor did he understand the value of Lord Jinxian's words. He just intuitively felt that although the latter's words made sense, there was obviously another hidden story, and this hidden story must be related to the power behind him, the "Dark Pavilion"!
Thinking of the Dark Pavilion, Qin Che snorted in his heart. In today's ghost market, the one with the most income is the second cave "Luoyang Jinkou" managed by Lord Jinxian. But if it weren't for the boss Baihu who monopolized the information source of the Dark Pavilion, how could a little girl like her have the turn to monopolize this business!

Thinking about how he had lost the profits from the thirteenth and fourteenth caves of "Female Ash and Male Medicine" because of that little bitch Sang Pu, Qin Che felt even more itchy. He was thinking about how to tie the Dark Pavilion to himself - preferably, to find a breakthrough from Lord Jinxian.

Thinking of this, Qin Che took out a key from his inner pocket and handed it to Lord Jinxian.

"By the way, my cousin asked me to thank you for finding the news about Mianmian. This is a token of my gratitude to Master Jinxian from the king."

"This is……?"

Lord Jinxian took it carefully.

"This is the key to Jin Fulai's warehouse. My cousin has said that you can take whatever you want from the warehouse. If you like, it's all yours."

"Jin Fu Lai" is one of the largest gambling houses in the world of Mei. In addition to gold and silver, the warehouse also has various rare items that can be exchanged for gambling money, and countless rare treasures such as calligraphy and paintings by famous artists. Qin Che believes that no one can refuse this key, and Lord Jin Xian is no exception.

Sure enough, the key made Master Jinxian's cloudy eyes brighten again and again. He asked "How can I do this" while trembling and taking it.

"The Princess and the young Marquis are so kind to me. If you need me in the future, please let me know. I will repay you with my life!"

"We are all family, no problem, no problem!"

Qin Che helped Lord Jinxian up. He couldn't tell him about the secret chamber right now. As long as he got the key, it would be easy. With enough bait, there was no need to worry about this cunning loach not taking the bait.

He stood up and said goodbye. He calculated the time. Jing Lan and Jing Zheng should also finish their old relationship. Moreover, since he drank the deer antler blood, he was anxious! He was anxious to send Ruan's mother back to the mansion to find those boundless happiness. Thinking of this, Qin Che's whole body was almost hard as a stone.

Lord Jin Xian was still waiting at the door, bowing his head and respectfully seeing Qin Che off before returning to the house, closing the door, taking out the key of "Jin Fu Lai" from his arms, rubbing it for a few times, but suddenly with a look of contempt, he limped open the dilapidated chest and threw it in, discarding it like a worn-out shoe.

"If you can't control your desires, you won't accomplish anything; if you can't calm your anger, you won't be able to make up your mind. If your body is not calm, your energy is not solid, and your mind is not clear, it will be difficult for a person who can't even keep his lower body steady to survive the catastrophe of the belt! Only those who can win over themselves are worthy of winning their lives."

Lord Jinxian's sigh would naturally not be heard by Qin Che. At present, the young marquis was still useful to his master, so he had to give him the favor.

To be honest, Qin Che's intuition was not that dull. Lord Jin Xian had indeed buried a large part of the truth.

He knew very well where Ruan Mianmian was at the moment.

He naturally knew who Jing Zheng had signed the "sealed contract" with - of course it wasn't his master, Jing Zheng was not worthy. But the one who followed his master was the real king of beasts, and Jing Zheng was tamed by him, which was also a blessing for this former brave man.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sharp, rat-like voice in Master Jinxian's mind sounded again.
"Is it done?"

"My Lord, it's done. They've all taken the bait."

"Jin Er, you did a great job. It looks like there will be a good show on Shennv Peak soon!"
