Zhong Kui's Diary
After leaving the conference room, Tang Seng led me up the stairs. Passing through several layers of branches, a breathtaking scene of a paradise suddenly appeared before my eyes.
The green grass was like a carpet, and flowers bloomed vibrantly. Deer and rabbits grazed leisurely on the meadow, showing no signs of panic upon seeing us. One deer even approached me, its nostrils twitching, and surprisingly licked my hand a few times with its tongue before slowly walking away.
In the distance, three distinct alloy houses hung from the branches. The middle one was golden, the one on the left was red, and the one on the right was blue. Tang Seng brought me to the front of the blue house and asked me to wait at the door while he pushed it open; the door then closed automatically behind him.
A few minutes later, a voice echoed from inside: “Sun Wukong, you may come in.”
Entering through the door, I found the living room empty. Just as I was taken aback, the voice called out again from a nearby room: “Come into the bedroom.”
Following the sound into the bedroom, I saw that it was quite spacious. The room was large, about thirty square meters, and aside from a bed and a bedside table, there was no other furniture. It should have felt empty, but one wall was entirely made of floor-to-ceiling glass, making the vibrant grass and flowers outside seem within reach. Thus, it felt not empty but incredibly natural.
An elderly man leaned against the bed, his face lined with wrinkles but quite friendly. His eyes were exceptionally bright; he must be the Deputy Master Flower Attacker. However, apart from him leaning on the bed, there was no one else in the room—not even Tang Seng.
“Hello, Flower Manor Master!” I greeted him boldly.
The old man acknowledged me with a grunt, indicating that he was indeed Flower Attacker. After staring at me for a moment, a smile appeared on his face as he nodded towards the window: “Come over here!”
If someone else had spoken to me like that, I would have scoffed; why should I go just because you said so? That would be quite embarrassing for me! But now that it was an elderly man leaning on a bed saying this, I could only smile wryly and walk over. I soon noticed a round stool near the head of the bed and sat down without hesitation.
“Extend your hand!” Flower Attacker said with a smile.
“Are you going to feel my bones or take my pulse?” I laughed as I extended my hand in front of him.
Flower Attacker grasped my hand and pressed on my knuckles a few times. Then he pulled out a box from under his pillow. Opening it revealed a copper coin inside—one I recognized well because it was a Yin-Yang Ancient Coin.
“Take out this Yin-Yang Ancient Coin!” Although Flower Attacker still wore a smile, there was an added seriousness in his tone along with a hint of anticipation.
I casually took out a copper coin and played with it in my hand for a while before smiling and saying, "I, the Flower Manor Master, see that this Yin-Yang Ancient Coin is of no use to you. You might as well give it to me."
"Don't even think about it!" The Flower Attacker gestured towards the box, indicating that I should put the coin inside.
"A person who achieves great things should be flexible. For someone like me, you need to entice me with something small." I shook my head and smiled as I placed the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin into the box.
"This is not just something small; there are only seven of these in the entire Underworld." The Flower Attacker tucked the box into their arms and looked at me with a half-smile.
Oh, isn't the number seven quite auspicious? The Book of Life and Death has seven pages, there are seven Yin-Yang Ancient Coins, and then there are the Big Dipper Seven Stars, Seven Fairies, Seven Dwarfs, Seven Brothers of Gourd, Dragon Balls... even hotels have seven chains.
Seeing the Flower Attacker's precious expression, I casually remarked, "How rare! I've had two of them before!"
To my surprise, upon hearing this, the Flower Attacker's expression changed dramatically. They straightened up and said sharply, "Where are those two Yin-Yang Ancient Coins? Tell me quickly!"
Oh, how could someone who is also the Deputy Master of Dominion Villa be so inexperienced? Their voice even trembled slightly; could it be that these Yin-Yang Ancient Coins are very important? That shouldn't be the case; Kong Xuan didn't seem to think much of them. I laughed and said, "One was originally in Kong Xuan's possession, and the other I took from the White Dragon Horse. Didn't you know?"
"The White Dragon Horse? Did he obtain a Yin-Yang Ancient Coin during his trip to Shacheng?" It was clear that the Flower Attacker was struggling to contain their excitement.
"I wouldn't know about that; anyway, both of those Yin-Yang Ancient Coins have been taken by someone!" I replied with a smile.
"Who?" The Flower Attacker's tone instinctively rose several notches, making their voice unusually sharp.
"A demon named Ghost Zombie. Not sure if you're familiar with him?"
"So it's him..." The Flower Attacker murmured repeatedly, gradually leaning back against the headboard.
"You know him?" I asked in surprise.
The Flower Attacker nodded and remained silent for a while before shaking their head with a bitter smile. "Forget about this; let's focus on the Rain of Swords Formation instead."
"En!"
Flower Attacker pointed to the bedside table: "There’s a box in there, can you help me get it?"
I opened the drawer, and aside from a few condoms, it was completely empty. I was momentarily taken aback; had this old man lost his mind? He still had the energy for this, impressive.
"It’s not in the drawer; it’s in the cabinet below," Flower Attacker cleared his throat.
Not sure what he meant. I chuckled to myself and opened the cabinet. Inside was a red wooden box that looked quite high-end. I bent down to take it out and placed it on the bed.
"Open it!" Flower Attacker gestured with his chin towards the wooden box.
Although the box looked quite luxurious, it only had a brass clasp casually resting on top, with no locks, so I figured there wasn’t anything valuable inside.
Upon opening it, I found a golden sphere emitting a mist of golden clouds. Hmm, this golden sphere looks familiar; it seems like there are several in my Mustard Seed Pendant. To be specific, I have four of them, which are the four Mysterious Realm Golden Spheres from Shoushan Ancient Tomb related to Restriction and Yazhi.
Is this golden sphere inside the box also from the Mystical Realm?
Seeing my astonished expression, Flower Attacker laughed and said, "This is the Rain of Swords Formation."
I was startled by his words, my hand shook, and I almost knocked over the box. I quickly steadied it and forced a laugh: "I’m Old Flower, uh, Flower Manor Master, don’t joke around like that; you’re making my heart race!"
Flower Attacker laughed heartily: "You’re racing? Hahaha, that cracks me up."
After laughing for a while, Flower Attacker finally patted his chest and gasped: "I’m not joking; this golden sphere is indeed the Rain of Swords Formation."
"You’re telling me that something capable of threatening global security is just casually left on your bedside table? Even the Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill comes with wax packaging. Stop joking around," I still didn’t believe him.
"Do I need to joke with you?" The smile on Flower Attacker's face faded as he tried to maintain a serious expression: "What’s in front of you now is a Deputy Master!"
"Alright, even if it's Rain of Swords, you owe me a favor!" I blurted out jokingly. I often made such remarks with Kong Xuan and the others, and seeing Flower Attacker being so down-to-earth made me feel relaxed, so I didn't treat him like Master Lin.
Flower Attacker was momentarily at a loss for words, and after a while, he said, "I'll teach you how to activate this magic circle now."
"Once activated, will swords rain down immediately?" I pointed at Flower Board.
"Not exactly. Activating the magic circle just opens it; it doesn't trigger the circle!" Flower Attacker chuckled.
"Opening it is the same as triggering it, right? You're making me feel empty; please be more specific!" I scratched my head.
Flower Attacker paused for a moment, then pondered before giving an example: "Think of it this way: if you want to watch TV, don't you first plug in the Power Supply and then turn on the TV? Activating the magic circle is like plugging in the Power Supply, while triggering it is like turning on the TV. After that, the work of the Control Array is similar to using a remote control to change the TV channels!"
"I understand." I nodded. "So how do I activate it?"
"It's simple. Just place your hand on the golden orb and recite a spell. At that moment, you'll feel a surge of energy rushing towards the orb. Don't be afraid; this phenomenon is temporary and will return to normal in a second or two, and then activation will be complete." Flower Attacker said with a smile, "Isn't that easy?"
"That depends on how long the spell is!"
"The spell isn't long, but it's a bit tricky. Remember this: Hongmu Naan Dachi Gongmu!"
"Hongmu... what was that again?"
"Hongmu Naan Dachi Gongmu!” Flower Attacker repeated.
"Hongmu Naan Dachi Gongmu." I recited it several times until I fully remembered it. However, I didn't feel that kind of energy fluctuation inside me; maybe I needed to touch the magic circle for that to happen, I thought naturally.
"Hold onto this magic circle for now. I know that pendant around your neck is a Spatial Bag. Just toss it in there," Flower Attacker pointed at my neck where the Mustard Seed Pendant was.
"Okay." I reached out to grab the golden orb and then asked, "If I grab it like this, will it activate immediately?"
"You can only activate it while reciting the incantation and catching it!" Flower Attacker confidently replied to me.
I casually tossed the golden ball into my Mustard Seed Pendant, feeling a surge of determination. As soon as I leave Dominion Villa, I will find an opportunity to sneak away; I absolutely won't let you install this magic circle on the Satellite.
After giving me some other precautions, Flower Attacker shooed me out like a fly. In his words, in front of me, there was no trace of Master Lin's authority left, which was quite inappropriate.
Hmph, I haven't even put on the airs of a senior brother yet!
Upon reaching the living room, I called out loudly for Master Tang. Behind me, Flower Attacker's voice came: "You don't need to call anymore; Tang Seng left a long time ago!"
Pushing the door open and walking on the grass outside for a while, I spotted a cluster of colorful flowers ahead, which looked beautiful. I thought about picking a few; these would surely impress a girl. I was also hoping Yang Mi could tell me who that person secretly helping me was.
Just as I reached out my hand, a girl in Red Clothes emerged from behind the flowers: "Hey, what are you doing... huh? It's you?"
I was taken aback because the person in front of me was actually Hua Wuqiu. How did she end up on this floor? Then it dawned on me that since the Deputy Master is Flower Attacker, and Hua Wuqiu also has the surname Hua, it's very likely she is related to Flower Attacker, or she might even be his daughter.
Seeing me, Hua Wuqiu was very happy: "Are you here to propose?"
