Leaning against the tree trunk, Li Huowang fell into deep thought. "Elder Chen, could you tell me in detail everything that happened when you first came here?"
"After all, I'm new to this place. I need to figure out the exact situation before making any plans. You know how it is—every time we from the Ao Jing Sect use our methods, the cost is considerable."
Chen the Blind nodded in agreement, poking at the muddy ground with his bamboo staff. He slowly began to speak, "Sigh, it was a job. I was told there was something strange going on and to come take a look, so I disguised myself as a fortune-teller and came to Ganyuan Village."
"For the first few days, I read plenty of faces. But on the third day, believe it or not, one of those things from inside the wall actually came over and asked me to read its bones!"
"They thought just because Chen the Blind can't see, I could be fooled. Ha! My eyes might be useless, but my ears are sharper than anyone's."
