For the next few days, Jin Ling walked around town, buying scrolls and trying to get people to believe in himself. One day, Jin Ling was on his way back to his temple, when he saw a cow wagon riding towards him. Jin Ling quickly waved the driver down so he could get on as well and save some energy.
"Hmm. This one is about gossips about gods. Anecdotes of ghosts. Interesting." Jin Ling said.
Suddenly, the wagon hit a rock and knocked over some of Jin Ling scrolls. One of them unfolded and revealed the words, "Jin Ling."
"Huh? It also mentioned me?" Jin Ling said.
Jin Ling, courtesy name Rulan. Lanling Jin Sect's last leader. Ascended two times, both as martial gods. First ascension at 18 years old. Second ascension at 21 years old.
"Eh, screw it. Doesn't matter if I ascend once or five hundred times." Jin Ling replied.
"Agreed." a voice said.
Jin Ling immediately turned his head to see a young man, dressed in light blue and white robes. He was handsome, almost in a devilish way.
"Thanks." Jin Ling replied.
"Shi Wudu, the water master, is in charge of money and wealth." Jin Ling read from the scroll. "How could a water god be in control of money and wealth."
"Since businessmen often ship goods by water, they're pray to him before going out to sea. Gradually, he'll be in charge of money as well." the boy replied.
"Huh, this person must be powerful then." Jin Ling commented.
"Yeah, a real water tyrant." the boy added.
"Haha, you know quite a lot for you age." Jin Ling complimented.
"Haha, I just have a lot of time to kill." the boy replied.
"You seem to know a lot about gods. What about ghosts?" Jin Ling asked.
"Which one?" the boy asked back.
"Crimson Rain Sought Flower, Hua Lang." Jin Ling replied.
"I don't want to jinx it, but since you have already met Hua Lang, he may appear again in the mortal realm. So please remember this. Hua Lang is sly, brutal, and fickle. Maybe he was kind to you, but don't ever let your guard down. Just try to avoid him." (Ch. 10)
The boy suddenly went quiet for a while, before speaking up again. "What would you like to know?"
"I heard that the name Crimson Rain Sought Flower came to life when Hua Cheng held his umbrella for a white flower that was being drenched in bloody rain. Is that true?"
"Yeah, it is." the boy answered.
"Do you know anything about Hua Lang's past?" Jin Ling asked.
"That, I've heard that he originated from a prominent clan, before devolving into demonic cultivation." the boy answered.
"Oh. That's interesting." Jin Ling asked. "Does Hua Lang have any weak points?"
"Of course. His ashes." the boy answered.
