The chill was bone-deep, yet the Peddler, dressed in only a blue cotton vest, drilled a hole in the ice and dove in headfirst.
Over two minutes later, the Peddler emerged from the ice hole, grabbed a towel to wipe his face, and said to the "Local Deity," "The entrance at the bottom of the lake is blocked. All other entrances are blocked too. Only Liu Xia Hui's entrance remains open."
Liu Xia Hui—Liu Xia with the character "Hui."
Li Banfeng was quite startled. "Who came up with such a creative entrance?"
The Peddler replied, "Murong Gui thought of it. After he became the Local Deity, he left this entrance. He said the method to open the door shouldn't be too complicated, for fear he wouldn't remember it, nor too simple, lest others guess it. So, he took the name Liu Xia Hui and changed one character—easy for him to come up with, but hard for others to guess."
Li Banfeng looked at the Judge's Pen and praised, "Ah Gui, you are so talented!"
