Both of them were disciples of Ghost Valley, one was the Elder of Hengxiang Hall, and the other was the Elder of Hengming Hall.
Seemingly due to a catastrophic hit on Ghost Valley, both escaped together. Unexpectedly, the elder from Hengming Hall took advantage of the ti when the Elder of Hengxiang Hall was healing, and launched a deadly attack!
The Elder of Hengxiang Hall fought to the death to break the enemy’s neck, and eventually died from severe injuries.
Before his death, he had written down the events in blood, instructing whoever inherited his mantle to carry forward Hengxiang Hall and to relentlessly seek the hidden perpetrator responsible for the destruction of Ghost Valley.
And to vindicate the na of Ghost Valley!
Su Pan’er briefly scanned the scene and found that the martial arts she studied in her later life happened to be the sa as that of the Master of Hengxiang Hall.
She couldn’t help but feel emotional, there must be a preordained destiny in all of this!
"Master? You’re saying this is your master?"
Qin Yi thought he had heard wrong, and looked puzzled.
Su Pan’er glanced at him but didn’t respond.
Only after carefully burying the two skeletons, she pulled Qin Yi to kneel down, kowtowed three tis towards the mound of soil, before she stood up again.
"Pan’er you just said..."
"You heard right, he is our Master, the leader of Hengxiang Hall, Ma Huifeng." Su Pan’er’s expression was solemn.
"What? You an... you just said... no, I want to say..."
Qin Yi tried to articulate a few tis, and in the end, he fell silent, unsure of what to say next.
After a while, he knelt down again in front of the mound and kowtowed three more tis: "Master, forgive your disciple for his ignorance. If the opportunity arises in the future, I will definitely build a new tomb for you!"
Having said that, he stood up.
"Why didn’t you say that was our Master’s body earlier? Otherwise, I would have buried them separately!" He seed a bit distressed.
"Why separate them?"
"Didn’t they...didn’t we just deduce that they died killing each other? Now, why still..."
"They were both from Ghost Valley, and initially, I didn’t recognize who they were."
After a person dies and their body weathered, the skin and flesh evaporate. This skeleton was just a layer of skin covering the bones, even if the person was reborn, they wouldn’t be able to recognize their own bones.
Su Pan’er looked a bit gloomy: "They were disciples of the sa sect when they were alive, and they died from fighting each other, and in death, they share the sa grave. There’s a reason for this! If fate has destined them to be buried together, there’s no need to move them."
Her words left Qin Yi deep in thought, and he couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up.
"Well said! You caught off guard!"
The two of them gathered their belongings, planning to leave.
However, as soon as they moved, the rascal pig started creating a fuss!
"You promised to help find the treasure, and now that you’re almost there, you’re running away. You guys are just not right! I’m not okay with this! Not okay!"
So saying, it lay on the ground, its short pig legs kicking and flailing.
Seeing the rascal pig making a fuss, Su Pan’er felt a headache coming on: "What are you fussing about? There’s only this much space around here, where do you want us to look for the treasure?"
"Right here! There’s treasure behind this stone wall, you can’t go, I won’t let you go!"
"Behind this stone wall? Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
The rascal pig nodded earnestly.
Grandfather Pi had directly injected the map into its head, how could it get the location wrong?
But what’s strange is, even though it knew there was a treasure hiding spot behind the stone wall, it was never able to get in, curious!
Just thinking about Grandfather Pi gets on his nerves!
Although he knew there was a treasure trove, he couldn’t get in, and every ti he asked Grandfather Pi, he would only get mocked and ridiculed!
Just thinking about it makes him feel exasperated!
"Is that so!"
Su Pan’er squinted at the stone wall, even walking around it.
If it were soone else who talked about this, she might not believe them, but based on her past experiences with this rascal pig, it was highly likely that it indeed sensed sothing valuable behind the stone wall.
But how do you get in?
Seeing Su Pan’er repeatedly scrutinizing the stone wall, Qin Yi also started to inspect the Nine Halls-Eight Trigrams Array Formation.
"Pan’er, who do you think set up this large array in the deep mountains and old forests? What were the intentions of the person who set up the array, and what was their purpose?"
Purpose?
An array is set up in a cave in the deep mountains and old forests, added with the two skeletons they just buried, and the note written in blood saying that the sect was ruined and they fled here. If this place is as ordinary as it appears, there’s no reason for them to co here.
Could it be...
Su Pan’er frowned and looked up at the Nine Halls-Eight Trigrams Array Formation.
"You’re saying that this formation is the breakthrough point?"
"Mmm, that’s what I think."
Qin Yi nodded: "I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, but if there’s anything special here, it would be this Nine Halls-Eight Trigrams Array Formation. And this formation is just like the one Master Uncle Cheng used to teach us, the only difference are those water-avoiding beads placed on the key points of the array."
The function of the water-avoiding beads is evident, it must be the reason this place has stayed so dry despite being situated in a sunken spot for so many years.
To destroy this Nine Halls-Eight Trigrams Array Formation, you need to take away the water-avoiding beads.
But doing so, the accumulated water and mud in the swamp will undoubtedly pour into the entire cave!
It’s really hard to imagine what the result would be!
While Su Pan’er hesitated, Qin Yi was watching her. Seeing her not taking action and not speaking, he simply patted her on the shoulder.
"The person with such a profound setup must have a profound aning, and will not trap us. Shall we give it a try?"
The rascal pig’s eyes lit up at these words. It turned out that taking away the water-avoiding beads was the key! Why didn’t I think of it? Grandfather Pi promised to give the treasure, he wouldn’t trick . There’s nothing in other places, this must be the only way to open the treasure. Yes, yes, it must be like this!
"If we take away the water-avoiding beads from the points of this Nine Halls-Eight Trigrams Array Formation, the consequences are unpredictable!"
Su Pan’er shook her head.
"Pan’er, Pan’er, take away the water-avoiding beads; it will definitely be fine. I suddenly rembered that this is the only thod to open the treasure."
"Oh, you’re sure? Why didn’t you say it earlier?"
Su Pan’er was skeptical.
"Really, really, more real than pearls. I just forgot for a mont, this is indeed the only thod."
The rascal pig looked sincere, blinking its adorable piggy eyes.
