The wine in the underworld was anything but bland and watery. Chen Shi was rendered utterly drunk by the beekeeper, Ah Zhuo. After a short while, Ah Zhuo was also thoroughly intoxicated, walking arm in arm with Chen Shi, each calling the other brother.
"Your Highness, we've found the hiding place of the fugitive Daoist Xue."
At that moment, a Bee Officer came forward and bowed, saying, "Daoist Xue is one hundred and forty-three years old, with ninety-two years of mortal life and fifty-one years in the underworld. Logically speaking, he has been dead for fifty-one years. Fifty-one years ago, he used the Fake Death Technique to escape, but was later found by an underworld messenger, and again slipped away using the Substitute Method. After he was located once more, the messengers tried to trap him with the Seven Stars Light formation, but he escaped during the chaos. The third time he was found was twenty years ago."
Ah Zhuo, quite drunk, asked, "How did he escape that time?"
