Jing Jiu left Green Mountain with Nan Wang and the white cat, and spent a whole
summer looking for Nan Qü; and they had finally found this ruined temple on a barren
mountain.
When he saw the red lantern outside the ruined temple and the black coffin in it, it only
took Jing Jiu a few seconds to make up his mind; he sent out the Thoughtless Sword to
inform Green Mountain and Liu Ci of his decision.
According to his calculation, Nan Qü's sword ghost might go to Green Mountain, and it
might also go to the West Ocean. Under either circumstance, the Green Mountain Sect
had to be fully prepared for it.
It was his and Nan Wang's task to deal with the dried-up corpse in the black coffin. And
it happened that they were the most suitable persons to do so.
Unexpectedly, Nan Qü had developed a method of sword ghost and tempered his own
body into a sword, which posed a brand new problem for them.
