The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 3 Plan
The boat sailed on the rushing river.

Li Zhen, feeling a little uncomfortable in his abdomen, curled up at the back of the boat to rest.

Wong Kam Sun and Somchai stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the turbulent river.

Songchai glanced back and whispered, "What he said is not entirely true. There are too many coincidences."

Huang Jinshen was not surprised: "The clothes he wore were made of very fine material. I might not even be able to afford such clothes with my monthly salary. It is very strange for a person to appear alone in Nanyang."

"then you……"

"No matter what his purpose is, it's better to keep an eye on him than to let him do something behind our backs."

"You still need to be cautious. Nanyang is different from your Hong Kong Island. There are deadly dangers everywhere. If you are careless, you will die without knowing how you died."

"I know."

Huang Jinshen turned around and nodded to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen also knew that his words could not stand up to scrutiny, but he did not care.

It does not matter.

He just needs to push things forward at the critical moment and complete his task. He does not need to gain Huang Jinshen's complete trust.

The coat he had been wearing was thrown next to Li Zhen, with the whip woven from palm leaves inside. There was also a wet stain on the back of the coat.

In Southeast Asia, danger is everywhere and you never know when you might fall into someone's trap.

Li Zhen didn't dare touch the palm whip, so he could only carry it with him.

The bloating and pain in his abdomen made Li Zhen's face even paler.

More than ten minutes later, several people got off the boat and got into a car.

Driving on the bumpy and wet road was a very bad experience.

Huang Jinshen tentatively chatted with Li Zhen for a few sentences and found that Li Zhen was very familiar with the geography and customs of Hong Kong Island. Except for a few mistakes in some details that should not have been wrong, which made him feel a little weird, there was no problem with anything else he said.

However, Li Zhen claimed that he was from the coastal area and had only lived in Hong Kong for one or two years.

This is consistent with the actual situation shown by Li Zhen.

As for Li Zhen's origins, Huang Jinshen does not think it is fake.

Just from the way he talks, it's clear that Li Zhen is no ordinary person.

So why did someone suddenly approach him? Was it really just for the black magic?
Two hours later, they finally found the temple where Master Wenda Mamo was.

After knocking on the door and telling the inside story, the tall and majestic Master Wenda Mamo immediately received them.

Wen Damo claimed to be from Teochew and could talk directly to several people.

After hearing Huang Jinshen's account of what happened, without asking for any reward, Wendamo said, "I can help you remove the black magic, but as the old saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the devil. The outcome is unpredictable. Do you still want to try?"

Huang Jinshen said: "I want to try."

Wenda Mamo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best. Please give me the name and birth date of the person who was hit by the black magic."

"Thank you, Master." Huang Jinshen handed the paper with his birth date to Wen Damo.

Wenda Mamo glanced at the sky and said, "I need to spend some time trying to remove the black magic cast on your friend. Whether it succeeds or not will take a day or two to see."

After a day or two, the daylilies will be cold...

Li Zhen, who was standing behind him, suddenly interrupted and said, "If we can kill the sorcerer directly, then can the sorcery be lifted directly?"

These words were full of murderous intent.

Huang Jinshen was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Li Zhen together with Wen Damo.

Wenda Mamo put his hands together and nodded slightly to Li Zhen: "Kill the sorcerer, and the sorcery will be broken."

Li Zhen asked again: "Master, if you could see that sorcerer, could you kill him directly?"

He remembered that in the original plot, it was this master who had the ability to deal with the sorcerer.

After gazing at Li Zhen for a moment, Wenda Mamo explained, "I have the altar and the Buddha's protection here. My magical powers are far stronger than when I left the temple. Even if that sorcerer is ferocious, I can still put up a fight."

"If I didn't have these aids, and instead fought him in his lair... that sorcerer was no ordinary sorcerer. He had the altar to help him. Even if I were to achieve my golden body, I'm afraid I wouldn't be his match."

"I see," Li Zhen continued, "If they realize Master is performing a ritual to remove the black magic, they will definitely engage in a life-and-death battle. During this process, they should be unable to take care of other things. If we find them, can we kill them?"

Hearing this, Wendamo didn't react, which scared Huang Jinshen again.

Does this guy really have an irreconcilable feud with that sorcerer?
Wenda Mamo nodded and said, "If the opponent's magic power is not far stronger than mine, then he will definitely have no time to care about other things. That will be the best opportunity to kill him."

"Of course, even so, it is very dangerous for ordinary people."

Li Zhen looked up and asked, "When is the best time to open the altar and remove the curse?"

"Noon is the best time, Master Mo Xiao."

"Then why don't you postpone the removal of the curse until tomorrow noon? By then we should have found the sorcerer. If we both attack together, the sorcerer will surely be killed!"

Although this plan is crude, it is very feasible. The only drawback is...

Wenda Mamo couldn't help but remind him, "Black magic practitioners are extremely dangerous. Any kind of black magic is an evil that ordinary people cannot resist. And as I said just now, the outcome is unpredictable. If I lose, the consequences are unimaginable."

Li Zhen lowered his head in pain: "The sorcerer killed my best friend. I don't want to see this happen again."

"If we don't get rid of this sorcerer, he will probably continue to harm people soon."

Wendamo clasped his hands together and looked apologetic.

He thought that Wong Kam Sun and Li Zhen were in the same group, so he was not surprised by what Li Zhen said.

But Huang Jinshen, the person involved, felt very strange. Before, he only suspected that the sorcerer who killed your friend was the same person who committed the tragedy. Now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, why are you going to kill people?

Huang Jinshen was about to correct Li Zhen's words, but before he could say anything, he saw Li Zhen pushing Master Wenda Mamo into the temple.

"Master, is there any treasure in the temple that can resist the sorcerer's black magic? We are all ordinary people. If we are killed by the sorcerer as soon as we meet him, it can't be said that we have eliminated the sorcerer."

Huang Jinshen and Songchai looked at each other in confusion as Li Zhen and the honest Master Wenma walked into the temple.

Songchai said, "He didn't tell the truth. He might have already found out that the person who killed his friend was the sorcerer you're looking for."

Huang Jinshen frowned and said, "What's the point of telling this lie?"

"No matter what the reason, it's very dangerous to go to a sorcerer."

"I'll try to persuade him again when he comes out."

"Did he just say 'we'? Does he want us to go together?"

"It's his decision, it has nothing to do with us."

A few minutes later, Li Zhen happily walked out of the temple and casually handed two golden oval leaves the size of three fingers to Huang Jinshen and Songchai.

"This is the golden leaf from the lotus seat in front of the Buddha. It was just taken from the golden lotus under the Buddha statue. The master said that this thing may save our lives at a critical moment."

Huang Jinshen looked at the golden petals in his hand and was about to speak when he heard Li Zhen say, "Officer Huang, do you think this matter has nothing to do with you? Regardless of whether the master can successfully remove the black magic, Officer Huang can just return to Hong Kong and escape the trouble here?"

Huang Jinshen looked at Li Zhen, waiting for Li Zhen to explain.

Detective Li sighed and continued, "Officer Huang has been involved in this matter since he came to Nanyang. It's impossible for him to get out of it so easily."

"You have to know that once a sorcerer's spell is broken, it will be a very serious blow to the sorcerer, and he may even die."

"Even though Master Wendamo had a mortal enemy with that sorcerer after his ritual, Officer Huang thought he could get away with it?"

"Also, since Officer Huang came to Nanyang, he might have already found the person who ordered the sorcerer to cast a spell on that person, right?"

"That person originally wanted to use a black magic spell to kill the guy he hated, but Officer Huang came to Nanyang to help him break the spell. Officer Huang, do you think others don't hate you?"

"Leaving Nanyang, thousands of miles away, will you be safe and secure? Officer Huang, think about that poor little girl who was nailed to death. You have family too. If you are targeted..."

Huang Jinshen was shocked when he heard this.

He seemed to be taking things too simply.

If things really develop as Li Zhen said, then...

Huang Jinshen's throat churned, and he said in a low voice, "Will this implicate my family? Is this what you meant by the sorcerer might harm someone soon?"

Li Zhen said, "Officer Huang might think I'm exaggerating. So why don't we go find the person who ordered the sorcerer to cast the spell and see what he's thinking? If we're looking for the sorcerer, we have to find this person."

After a moment of silence, Huang Jinshen suddenly asked, "Why did you insist on killing that sorcerer? You said before that you didn't know which sorcerer killed your friend."

Li Zhen replied, "I'm not sure, but I said before, I don't want to see a sorcerer harming people anymore, so the best way is of course to get rid of that sorcerer."

"Why didn't you tell me that on the way?"

"I just realized the seriousness of this matter. Didn't Officer Huang himself realize it before?"

"When to set off?"

"No rush, wait a few minutes."

About ten minutes later, Wenda Mamo came out of the temple holding a whip woven from palm leaves. He said to Li Zhen, "I've seen this thing. It has a very strong negative energy. I placed it on the altar and cleaned it, but it didn't remove much of the negative energy. It must be a special magical tool. It's harmless to ordinary people, but if you keep touching it, it will have some effects."

Seeing that Wenda Mamo was holding the whip and there was nothing unusual about it, Li Zhen reached out and picked up the whip, and suddenly felt a cool touch in his heart.

The whip was wet and a little slippery in the hand.

The water on it never seems to dry up, it's always wet and is still dripping.

“How does this affect ordinary people?”

"It can lead to restlessness during the week and nightmares at night."

"What's the use of this thing?" Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Vegetable Basket God did not lay a mine for him.

"It can cause some damage to ghost-like beings. I don't know the details yet. I need more experiments."

Huang Jinshen looked at the palm whip silently, feeling that it looked familiar...

He suddenly asked, "Master, if you saw a sorcerer, could you tell right away if he was a sorcerer?"

Wenda Mamo replied: "Of course, a sorcerer has a sinister aura and is easy to identify."

Huang Jinshen nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Wenda Mamo pulled out a magical instrument from his wide sleeve and said to Li Zhen, "You want to kill that sorcerer, and I can't stop you."

"The sorcerer is merely a mortal being. If killed, he dies. He's not difficult to deal with. What's difficult to kill is the evil spirit behind the sorcerer. If you encounter something you find difficult to fight, this should be able to help you."

This magical weapon is pitch black all over, and looks like a small harpoon, only twenty to thirty centimeters long, with three triangular spikes at the bottom. There is nothing unusual about it.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Zhen solemnly took the magic weapon.

This Master Wenda Mamo is really a good person.

Not only did he borrow the lotus seat and gold leaf, he also gave me such a good thing.

Wenda Mamo clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "Black magicians are extremely vicious and cruel. Any black magician who can achieve success has shed the blood of countless innocent people on his hands. If you can eliminate a black magician, I will be happy to see it happen."

"I will do my best to hold the sorcerer back. Please be careful about your own safety. If you find that there is no chance, do not force it."
