Chapter 114 He Bo’s Past

"Look at you, you look so stupid and easy to deceive!" Wang Shen reached out and flicked Black Snake on the head. Black Snake looked up at him, confused.

Wang Shen and Black Snake ate this sheep in one meal. In addition to drinking, the black snake also seems to like mutton soup.

After eating, it’s time to practice.

In the blacksmith shop in Lanhe County, the man's words woke him up.

You can't just practice moves with a sword, nor can you just cut flowing water. You have to cut something else. This is just like when he practiced the palm technique, he has to implement it in practice.

Naturally, it is not appropriate to chop the stone first, so chop the wood first. The chopped wood can be used to burn firewood.

In the afternoon, Wang Shen began to chop wood, using the sword to break the formation, cutting it into two pieces.

What I am looking for is this feeling, this kind of momentum, whether it is wood, stone, or running water, everything can be cut.

Cultivation usually means repeating several things over and over again, but it is not a simple repetition, it is a repetition of constant thinking and enlightenment.

Cultivation is not boring for Wang Shen. He finds unique pleasure in these repetitions.

Summer rain always comes quickly, sometimes without any warning.

It was clear just a moment ago, but suddenly it became overcast with clouds and heavy rain poured down.

Just like today, when he went up the mountain, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. When he came down, there was lightning and thunder, and raindrops fell from the sky like pea particles, crackling.

"It's raining a lot!"

It was raining so heavily that when Wang Shen went down the mountain, he saw a small boat floating on the Qinghe River from a distance, and a person could be vaguely seen on the boat.

"Here we go again. This guy's spirit of not giving up is really incredible."

Wang Shen thought for a while and quietly approached Qinghe in the wind and rain.

On the rolling green river, a small boat rose and fell with the waves. The boat was empty. The people who were still on the boat just now had already entered the water.

Wang Shen waited quietly in the rain. After a while, the man emerged from the water and got on the boat.

At this time, Wang Shen saw clearly the face of the man wearing a bamboo hat through the rain curtain.

There was a strange green color on his face, which started from his neck and spread to his cheeks. It was not a birthmark but a piece of fine scaly skin that looked like fish scales.

Seeing that man's appearance, Wang Shen immediately thought of the water ghost he killed and the He Bo in the water mansion.

"He should have come into contact with the HeBoyin before, but he couldn't get it for some reason. He was affected by the HeBoYin and produced this change." Wang Shen thought to himself.

Not finding what he wanted, the man could only drive the boat away again.

After he left, Wang Shen entered the Qinghe River and practiced water control in the water while walking back to his residence.

A few days later, the weather was still hot.

When Wang Shen was going down the mountain, he saw a man wandering by the Qinghe River from a distance.

"Why is there another one?"

After going down the mountain and getting closer, Wang Shen could clearly see the appearance of the man. He was seven feet tall, about thirty years old, wearing a robe, carrying a sword behind his back, and holding a compass-like object in his hand. Something that looks like a Taoist priest.

"Taoist, what are the cultivators doing here? Is it also to find He Bo's water house?"

"At the foot of Dragon Scale Mountain, it's almost here."

The cultivator put away the compass, looked around, then came to the water's edge, muttered something, and then jumped into the water.

After about a cup of tea, Wang Shen saw the man coming out of the water. His body was wet and his face was not very good-looking. It was obvious that he had not been found.

The position where he entered the water was some distance away from the crack, and the crack itself was actually not conspicuous, being covered by thick water plants.

If it wasn't a coincidence last time, Wang Shen wouldn't have been so easy to find.

"It seems we have to find another way!" the man whispered.

"What can be done?" Wang Shen thought, and then he turned around and was five or six feet away. Like a wisp of breeze, he was gone in an instant.

In the abandoned mountain village, the small courtyard was filled with firewood near the wall. These were split by Wang Shen when he was practicing Taoism.

After returning from the mountains and resting for a while, Wang Shen began to study ink and write.

There is only one word on the paper, "mountain". He wrote the character in the Mountain God's Cave, and he had to practice it almost every day.

This word is very simple, but writing it is not simple.

Wang Shen wrote very slowly. After finishing the pen, he looked at the word on the paper.

Judging from the appearance alone, this character is very similar to the character in the Mountain God Cave. And not only are they similar in appearance, there is also a rich charm in this word.

"It's still far behind." Wang Shen shook his head. He was still not satisfied with the word. He still couldn't fully understand the true meaning of the word and couldn't make it his own.

He picked up another piece of paper and started writing seriously.

The time for practice always passes quickly, and more than twenty days passed before I knew it.

On this day, the sun set and there were red clouds on the horizon. Wang Shen came down from the mountain and subconsciously looked towards the Qinghe River at the foot of Longji Mountain. He did not see the boat, but saw two people.

"here we go again!"

There were two people standing by the river. One was wearing coarse cloth and carrying a bamboo hat, and the other was wearing a long robe and carrying a sword.

"This is it. I went down to take a look. There is a crack under the river bottom. Through that crack, you may be able to reach the water house under the Qinghe River." The man wearing a bamboo hat pointed to the Qinghe River not far in front of him.

The man in the robe looked back at the Dragon Scale Mountain behind him.

"Yes, this should be the place. Have you ever entered the water house?" "The water is too deep." The man wearing a bamboo hat shook his head.

"What about He Boyin?"

"Never seen it."

"You are still lying to me at this time. If you had not gone down and encountered He Boyin, how could you have become like this?" said the man in Taoist robes.

"Is this He Bo's curse, innate?"

"You!"

The man in the robe took out a small bell from his sleeve. As soon as he saw the bell, the face of the man wearing a bamboo hat changed drastically.

"Only if you tell the truth can I save you."

"I told the truth, I really didn't lie to you!"

Hey, with a sigh, the man in the robe gently rang the bell in his hand. After a while, the man in the bamboo hat suddenly fell to the ground holding his stomach, looking very painful.

As the bell became louder and louder, the man became more painful and screamed.

"Don't shake it, don't shake it, I really haven't gone down there."

"As dishonest as your ancestors, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" The man in a robe said coldly.

"Lin He, I was able to find you naturally because I have enough accurate information. Your real surname is not Lin but Li.

I know very well about your ancestor. Your ancestor is called Li Kui. He was the river patrol envoy appointed by the Qinghe River Bo.

Later, he was discovered by Hebo for stealing the treasures of Shuifu Mansion, and the order to patrol the river was withdrawn, but he was spared a small life.

Because of this, he held a grudge, betrayed He Bo, and joined forces with outsiders to try to snatch He Bo's treasures. He Bo was so angry that he fled back to his hometown in fright.

Li Kui divorced a concubine. The concubine was already pregnant with his flesh and blood when he left. The child she gave birth to was your great-grandfather, so you should call her Li He.

You are not honest! "The man in the robe rang the bell violently several times, and Lin He screamed twice.

"Stop shaking, stop shaking, I beg you, I said, I said, I said it all!" Lin He's face was covered with sweat in pain, and he knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Say!" the man in the robe said coldly.

The conversation between the two of them was clearly heard by Wang Shen who was not far away.

"Oh, it turns out there is such a story!" Wang Shen was quite surprised when he heard the conversation between the two.

Li Kui naturally knew that Wang Shen had personally handled his body and burned it to ashes.

He also knew about Lin He. He had asked Chen Zheng to investigate Li Kui's descendants earlier. Chen Zheng mentioned Lin He's name to him at that time, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

Unexpectedly, Lin He was actually a descendant of Li Kui.

"That little bell is quite interesting. Why does Lin He look like that when he shakes it? Is it because I gave him something to eat beforehand?" Wang Shen looked at the bell in the hand of the man in the robe, and then looked at it again. Lin He was kneeling on the ground.

"Is it a living creature like a poisonous insect that moves and bites in its stomach when it hears the sound of a bell?"

"Well, there is indeed He Bo's water palace under the water, but it has collapsed."

"Where's the Hebo Divine Seal?"

"It was indeed in the water mansion at the beginning. I saw it too. I almost died in it just by touching it." Lin He told the truth this time.

"That kind of treasure can actually be touched by a mortal like you. What happened next?"

"Later, when I went down again, the Hebo Divine Seal was gone."

"It's gone. How come it's gone?" The man in the robe asked in surprise.

"It's really missing. I went down to look for it several times. Could it be that it was swallowed by some fish?"

"That's nonsense. Those treasure-like fish and turtles don't dare to get close at all. Even if they become monsters in some years, they can only get close to them. Swallow? That's asking for death!"

"Then, that means it was taken away?"

"How deep and far is the water house from the river?"

"At least dozens of feet deep, hundreds of feet away."

"How can anyone enter such a deep distance?" the man in the robe asked.

"What if, what if that person has a river patrol order in his hand?" Lin He asked rhetorically.

"Huh, you still know about the Jiang Patrol Order. You really didn't tell the truth just now. What do you know?"

"I, I really don't know anymore." Lin He said hurriedly.

"If you lie again, whatever you eat will bite your internal organs alive and come out of your stomach. You will be painfully alive by then," the man said coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Lin He said hurriedly.

"You go down and look for it."

"Yes, but I went down several times!"

Um? The man in the robe snorted coldly.

"Okay, okay, I'll go down, I'll go down!" Lin He stood up and came to the river helplessly, and then jumped into the water.
