White Bone Evolution Guide

Inside the hotel.

Zhang Qingguan applied the medicine, while Old Wangba, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, angrily exclaimed, "Damn it! If it weren't for this little bastard dragging us down, I would have killed that son of a bitch long ago!"

"Daoist Master is holding us back? It's because you've been hiding your true intentions all along, always holding back a trick up your sleeve. You've managed to keep everyone from leaving."

Zhang Qingguan glared at the old turtle, venting his dissatisfaction.

Gu Bai crossed his legs and watched the two of them argue. He felt a little uneasy because he was also holding back.

The old turtle did indeed hold back, just like in the battle of the wine pool and meat forest, it wasn't until the White Bone Demon was killed that the old turtle's icy power of its snake tail was forced out.

If the White Bone Demon hadn't gone to her death, he wouldn't have used the power of his snake tail.

Yang Xi frowned and said, "Stop arguing. Tell me first, is the other party Zhang Qing, and what are their abilities?"

"It's that brat Zhang Qing. I've remembered what happened back then."

Zhang Qingguan frowned and said, "It doesn't seem right. Back then, when I was traveling with that old man, we were starving and happened to catch a pufferfish. In those days, we didn't know that pufferfish were poisonous."

"The old man felt sorry for us. We ate a lot, but he didn't eat much. He managed to escape with our lives and get us to the hospital. After being rescued, I woke up but lost my memory, while Zhang Qing didn't wake up."

"Pufferfish poison acts on sodium ion channels, blocking nerve impulse transmission. Acute poisoning can quickly lead to loss of consciousness. If the poisoning is severe and treatment is not timely, some memory loss may remain after recovery."

The Bodhisattva said coldly, "So, you've lost your memory, but how did Zhang Qing come back to life?"

"Actually, he didn't die. He just woke up late, and the medical conditions at the time were really poor, so they issued a death certificate."

So, they found a place to bury him, and the guy assumed the old man disliked him and deliberately poisoned him.

Zhang Qingguan sighed helplessly: "My original name was Zhang Jingguan. It was that old geezer who changed my name to Zhang Qingguan and made me live on in his place."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly," the Bodhisattva said.

"Do you think he'll believe that? He's been arrogant since he was a child. Before I could even say two words, he attacked me."

Zhang Qingguan angrily said, "He's really been spoiled rotten. Now he kills people at will. He's no longer the little brat he used to be."

Old Wangba said, "After being buried by Chen Sandao, he thinks everyone loves the little bastard. His mind has long been twisted. The only thing that hasn't been twisted is the kindness he received from the orphanage."

"The kindness of the orphanage?" Gu Qingyi suddenly realized, "No wonder he didn't kill the people at the orphanage, and taking the Yue Fei wood carving was also because of you?"

"When he was a child, Daoist Master's favorite book was 'The Legend of Yue Fei,' so of course he wanted to take it and use it to kill people," Zhang Qingguan said.

"Now that we've fought, is it possible to find him?" Yang Xi asked.

Old Wang smacked his lips: "It will take some time. Eighth Master isn't at his peak; he hasn't recovered yet."

The battle at the Wine Pool and Meat Forest was too taxing, and the old turtle hasn't fully recovered yet.

A wisp of gray energy appeared on the claw: "Eighth Master intercepted a trace of his aura. Make a note of it so it will be easier to find him later."

Gu Bai sensed the presence but remained silent.

Zhang Qingguan then took out another wooden board: "He left a wooden board for the Taoist priest to write his name on."

"Write your name? What does that mean?" the group asked, puzzled.

"He'll kill whoever the Taoist priest writes down; he's playing mind games with the Taoist priest," Zhang Qingguan said coldly. "If he doesn't write it down, he'll kill randomly."

"It seems that this name really has to be written down." The Bodhisattva pondered, "Writing down the name means you are choosing who dies; if you don't write it down, you won't know who he will target, and you won't be able to defend yourself."

"Yes, Daoist Master really has no choice but to write, and he can't even write about himself," Zhang Qingguan said.

Yanran pondered for a moment and said, "Then write about Gu Bai?"

Gu Bai retorted angrily, "What do you mean? I didn't provoke him, why are you asking him to kill me?"

Gu Qingyi looked at Yanran with displeasure: "What do you want to do? You think you can't get her to eat properly?"

Yanran pouted and said, "Didn't he say it himself that he would spare Gu Bai's life? If he wrote it down, Gu Bai wouldn't die."

Gu Bai: "..."

That makes some sense, but I'm not going to take that risk.

"Write my name. I want to see how he tries to kill me," Gu Qingyi said.

The Bodhisattva was not afraid: "With me by my side, I also want to see his abilities."

Old Wangba said solemnly, "He is indeed quite skilled. His threads are sharp, he can control puppets, and he has neurotoxins."

"I'm not afraid of any neurotoxins," the Bodhisattva said. "Let's stay together as much as possible during this time and see how he makes his move."

Zhang Qingguan cupped his hands and said, "It's my fault for getting involved. During this time, I will stay by your side and see how he makes his move."

Gu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "How about we write about Yanran instead? After all, she's not human."

"Gu Bai, I'm just a little devil." Yanran looked at him pitifully, "He said he would spare your life, that's why I thought of writing your name, I didn't mean to harm you."

"Admitting it's a low-level trick now?" the old turtle said disdainfully.

Gu Qingyi took the wooden board and wrote her name on it: "I'll wait for him to come to my door."

"Let's get ready. The police station's equipment is almost here. Have Guo Jin bring it back," Yang Xi said.

"Let's go together," Zhang Qingguan said.

"You guys go ahead, I'm sleepy and want to go to bed. Anyway, he said he'd let me off the hook, so he should keep his word." Gu Bai yawned, not wanting to bother anymore.

After the others left, Gu Xiaojiao went back to his room to sleep.

Turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Tai Sui's voice rang out: "You don't care about these reserve provisions? Aren't you coming along?"

Gu Bai: "I need to sort this out; something's not right."

Tai Sui: "What's wrong?"

Gu Bai pondered, "Look, Zhang Qing wouldn't target the orphanage. He took Qin Dayou away, but he's thinking of having us rescue him. With our current strength, can we really save him from him?"

Tai Sui: "Yes, you are fully capable of it."

Gu Bai: "He doesn't know my true form. Given the current situation, besides that old bastard, no one else has this ability. What does that prove?"

Tai Sui asked in confusion, "What?"

Gu Bai said irritably, "Idiot, he didn't want to kill Qin Dayou, he just wanted to use Qin Dayou to lure Zhang Qingguan there."

Tai Sui: "Before that, at the guesthouse, Qin Dayou's neighbor was murdered... Holy crap..."

Gu Bai said quietly, "Have you figured it out?"

Tai Sui: "It was the neighbor next door who harbored murderous intentions towards Qin Dayou; he was actually protecting Qin Dayou!"

Gu Bai rubbed his forehead: "He's just an ordinary tourist. Why would he kill Qin Dayou, someone he had no connection with? Besides, he's interested in the orphanage, would he mistake Qin Dayou's location? It definitely wasn't him, and Zhang Qing didn't use a wooden carving to kill anyone before."

Tai Sui was startled: "You mean, there's another one lurking in the shadows, taking advantage of the chaos to commit murder?"

"That's probably it. If Qin Dayou is really dead, then no one will take us to the orphanage, and naturally we won't be able to find out Zhang Qing's identity."

Gu Bai pondered, "This is probably a covert operation to erase Zhang Qing's identity so we can't find out."

"That doesn't make sense. If it's something done in the shadows, why not just wipe out the orphanage?"

"The wooden carving of Prince Yue killed a wild cat. What if this wild cat was secretly controlled by something to silence it?"

Gu Bai analyzed, "They must know each other, or even be very familiar with each other, but Zhang Qing stopped them."

Tai Sui sighed, "They're all cunning old foxes."
