The fairy is fierce

Creaky

In the early morning, the wind blew raindrops against the window, and the old window made a slight sound.

In the inn room, Jiang Yi lay on the bed with a rosy face, sleeping sweetly like a baby; her hand was on Zuo Lingquan's chest, her legs were also on Zuo Lingquan's waist, her nightgown was torn open a little, and the graceful curves outlined by the soft armor were still revealed. The soft armor was made of snake scales, and it looked like a beautiful snake coiled on her body.

In the past, Jiang Yi lived alone and liked to sleep with Leng Zhu. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would make such an improper move after falling asleep.

Zuo Lingquan didn't expect that he had been paying attention to the movements outside. Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, Jiang Yi started to roll in front of him, touched him a few times, and her hand stayed on his chest, as if wondering why Leng Zhu's breasts were gone; then she rubbed him in a dishonest way, and her breath was as fragrant as orchids, almost making him unable to control himself.

Fortunately, after a night of hard work, the sky finally brightened.

Zuo Lingquan leaned over and tapped Jiang Yi's lips.

"Hmm~..."

Jiang Yi's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around blankly at first, and when she realized that her posture was wrong, her eyes widened, and she quickly retreated to the wall, holding the quilt and panicked:

"You...what did you do to me?"

It seemed that she had not woken up yet.

Zuo Lingquan lay there without moving, with a helpless look in his eyes:

"I'm still lying where I was last night, and I didn't even move my butt. What can I do to the princess?"

"..."

Jiang Yi blinked her eyes, and realized that it seemed that she had moved first, and her face suddenly flushed. But she quickly regained her composure, turned over and passed Zuo Lingquan, stood on the ground, and changed the subject:

"Hurry up, we still have to investigate the case, what if another citizen is missing..."

As she spoke, she ran behind the screen and began to change her skirt.

Zuo Lingquan laughed twice, but did not tease Jiang Yi. He stood up, changed into clean clothes, hung his talisman clip, sword and other things on his body, took out bird food and insect food, and fed breakfast to the two pets.

The little beetle ate a lot of cracked centipedes, and now it looks a bit like a spiritual pet. Its appearance has not changed, but its toxicity is obviously stronger. As for how to tell, it is because Jiandan Tuanzi has grown in size and can now eat the little beetle in one bite, but after holding it in his mouth for a while, he found that the taste was not right, so he threw it aside with a "Puh~".

The black little beetle was not angry. He dragged the dried centipede into the porcelain bottle, and took advantage of Tuanzi's inattention to steal a dried fruit. When Tuanzi found it, it had already drilled into the porcelain bottle. Tuanzi was so angry that he couldn't drill in, so he kicked the porcelain bottle all over the table.

Jiang Yi also needs to eat, but the Xianjia Market sells "Bigu Pills" that can allow Qi-refining monks to not eat for a short period of time. It is troublesome to eat out, so Jiang Yi ate one, so she didn't have to bother her fiancé to go downstairs to buy breakfast.

After preparing for a while in the inn, the two of them took their equipment and walked out of the inn together.

It was still raining outside, and even though it was dawn, the town still looked gloomy.

Aunt Li, who scared the two of them last night, sat at the door in a daze; there were more people on the street, and some people from the rivers and lakes drove and rode horses, coming from the west and heading towards the county town.

Zuo Lingquan took Jiang Yi to the town to inquire about the news from Dahuangling. However, the two of them went around for a long time, and they didn't hear any rumors about ferocious beasts outside the county town. Instead, they met many women in the market talking about ghosts, and heard that there was a person who ran back after encountering a ghost.

According to the news, Zuo Lingquan came to a private house in the county town. A ritual was being performed in the courtyard to summon the soul. He sneaked in to take a look. The soul being summoned was unconscious and was being treated by a doctor. He could not get anything out of him.

After asking around in the city to no avail, Zuo Lingquan could only take a stupid approach and go to Dahuangling with Jiang Yi to look for clues on his own.

Dahuangling is on the north side of Pengyu County, and there are still about 40 miles of mountain roads. There are a few villages on the road, and other places are deserted. Only a few plots of land on the hillside can be seen. The so-called "Dahuangling" is just a relatively large mountain among the mountains. There is a small river between the valleys. The river water is muddy and yellow under heavy rain.

Jiang Yi washed himself clean last night, but when he walked to the vicinity of Dahuangling, he became a phoenix in the water again. Tuanzi's white hair was wet and stuck to his body, and he looked thinner.

Although a little embarrassed, Jiang Yi looked very serious. He held a wooden stick in his hand and searched among the bushes, and occasionally looked at the marks on the tree trunks.

The deep mountains are not without traces. Occasionally, you can see small paths opened by woodcutters, but unfortunately, the rain has washed away most of the traces.

Zuo Lingquan was also observing clues, but not as carefully as Jiang Yi. After searching for a while, he found nothing and asked:

"What are you looking for?"

Jiang Yi looked serious, looking through the haystack in the rain, and replied calmly:

"Looking for feces."

"Huh...?"

"What's so strange? Whether it's a fierce beast or a spiritual beast, its habits are not much different from ordinary birds and beasts; for example, Tuanzi, like ordinary sparrows, likes to eat seeds and sleeps in a safe and soft place. Fierce beasts that can cause trouble are mostly transformed from fierce beasts that accidentally eat spiritual herbs. Fierce beasts have their own territories and will mark the territory with excrement. If you find it, you can determine the species and approximate range of activities."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking seriously, he snorted:

"This kind of dirty and tiring work is often done by constables. It's normal for a rich young master like you who comes from a wealthy family not to know these things."

Zuo Lingquan knew this knowledge, but he really didn't expect that he could track fierce beasts in reverse. He chuckled:

"Princess is still well-informed, but it's raining heavily and we don't have a hunting dog with us. It might not be easy to find shit in the mountains."

Jiang Yi searched for a long time and found nothing. She also knew that this method would not work. She asked Zuo Lingquan to take out the treasure hunting compass and drive around the mountains with it:

"Wherever the ferocious beasts roam, there must be treasures of heaven and earth. No matter how bad things are, there are a few spiritual grasses. Most of them are near the ferocious beasts' lairs. In the past, in Dadan, the arresting department followed the clues and found a lot of good things. I... Turned over to the national treasury..."

Zuo Lingquan had a smile in his eyes, and when he saw this, he also started searching blindly. He honestly acted as the imperial guard, followed Jiang Yi, and searched in the huge mountains.

It's a pity that even if Jiang Yi has experience in tracking ferocious beasts and the help of a treasure hunter's compass, it is impossible to find traces of ferocious beasts in places where there are no ferocious beasts.

Jiang Yi took the compass and searched all the corners of the Dahuang Ridge from morning to dusk within a radius of nearly ten miles. Not to mention spiritual grass or ferocious beast excrement, not even a single hair was found.

The sky got dark quickly, the rain gradually became heavier, and thunder sounded in the sky. The mountain wind rubs against the leaves, making a "whooshing" sound.

After two days of searching carefully all day long, until it was completely dark, I discovered something strange on the mountainside of Dahuang Ridge.

Jiang Yi took the lighting bead from Zuo Lingquan, looked at the slope next to the winding path, used a stick to push aside the shrubs and weeds, and said:

"The grass poles and branches were crushed. Someone should have rolled down from them. However, the area was not large. Only one person rolled down, and there were no traces of the vicious beast chasing him."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and raised his eyes to look at the hillside above, which was about four to five feet high. There should be flat ground going up. He first let Tuanzi fly up to take a look, and after making sure there was nothing strange, he hugged Jiang Yi's waist and rushed up the hillside in a few strides.

There is an open space on the hillside. Near the mountain wall is a mountain temple that has been in disrepair for a long time. Most of the eaves have collapsed, and the tattered statues of the gods can be seen inside.

The statue fell to the ground, with one arm broken. Rainwater poured in from the holes and sprinkled on the cracked statue. The head of the statue was facing outward, and the carved eyes seemed to be staring at them.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly, first searched in the open space in front of the mountain temple, but found no trace, then came to the front of the ruined temple and pointed to a pile of black marks in front of the statue:

"Someone made a fire here, and there was a bundle of medicinal materials and dry food next to it. It must be a herb farmer who was digging medicine in the mountains. He made a fire here to cook. When he encountered something, he was so scared that he ran out and rolled down the hillside."

"Encountered something..."

Zuo Lingquan felt that something was wrong. He took out the case file of the Demon Hunting Department and read it again. After confirming that it said 'there seems to be a vicious beast', he put it away again:

"No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like a ferocious beast. It looks more like it's haunted. The rumors in the county may not be false."

Jiang Yi has been regent in the palace for several years and has developed a habit of looking more serious and steady when she is more nervous. She glanced around a few times and whispered:

"You are not even afraid of living people, how can you be afraid of dead people?"

Zuo Lingquan was not afraid, he just held the hilt of the sword and said:

"No matter how powerful my sword is, it can't deal with souls. It doesn't make any difference whether I'm afraid or not."

"You're already here. If you can still be scared away, let's take a look first."

Jiang Yi took off the talisman clip from her waist and held it in her hand. She carefully entered the ruined mountain temple and searched for clues.

Huhu

The mountain temple is ventilated from all sides, and the rain did not stop after entering, making it even more eerie.

Zuo Lingquan took out the Mo Yuan Sword and walked back to back with Jiang Yi, paying attention to the surrounding signs.

Jiang Yi forced herself to calm down and lowered her head to check various traces, but when she looked at it, she found something was wrong.

It seemed like something was watching her too!

Jiang Yi's eyes moved to the mountain god stone statue lying on the ground next to her. The hollow eyes carved out seemed to be staring at her.

Jiang Yi found it scary and wanted to poke the head of the stone statue open with a wooden stick.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he found that dark red blood was slowly flowing out of the stone statue's eyes...

thunderbolt

Another flash of lightning!

Jiang Yi stood up suddenly, her heart beating like a drum, her face turned pale, and she stared at the stone statue.

The stone statue returned to its original state, leaving only a pair of gray eyes staring at her, with rainwater dripping from it, as if it was just an illusion.

Jiang Yi leaned close to Zuo Lingquan and whispered:

"There's something wrong with this place. Did you see the stone statue's eyes bleeding?"

There was no response from behind.

Inside the mountain temple, there was a gloomy wind and only the sound of quiet rain could be heard.

Jiang Yi's body stiffened slightly, and the dumplings were so frightened that they got into Jiang Yi's sleeves. The mountain temple fell into dead silence, as if there was no one, and there seemed to be one more person.

Cold sweat rolled down Jiang Yi's forehead, and she wanted to look back, but Zuo Lingquan reminded her at this moment:

"Don't turn around."

Jiang Yi paused in her movements. Although she did not look back, she could clearly see a vague shadow moving on the wall of the mountain temple, and there was a voice in her mind:

"Ah~it hurts~mother..."

The voice was shrill but hoarse, and the throat seemed to be filled with blood foam, and it seemed to come from the bottom of the water, which made people shudder.

Jiang Yi felt a chill running down her spine and felt the thing approaching. She gritted her teeth and said loudly:

"I am the princess of a country and a descendant of a true dragon. How can I be afraid of lonely ghosts? You scare me, right?"

As she spoke, she took out a Five Thunder Talisman from her talisman holder, injected her energy into it, raised her hand, and threw it behind her back.

The talisman unfolded in mid-air after taking action, and the next moment!

Boom boom boom boom

Five deafening thunders sounded in the ruined mountain temple, and the dazzling white light turned the temple into snow-white.

The thunder method is the first of all methods. It is the most powerful and powerful. Even monks with physical protection can be smashed to pieces by lightning when they encounter a thunder disaster. The monsters in the world have no way to escape.

In just an instant, the mountain temple returned to its original state. There was no longer the strange scene, and even the sound of rain seemed to be clearer.

Jiang Yi quickly turned around and looked outside the temple: "How is it? Have you killed him?"

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were sharp, and he pulled Jiang Yi and ran out of the mountain temple:

"Scared away. Last time we met someone here, we met him again. He must be hiding nearby."

Jiang Yi's shoulders were shaking slightly, but her eyes were calm and she said in a deep voice:

"It's just a little devil who confuses his mind. If he doesn't do bad things, he won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He can't do anything to us. If he is not found and killed, there will definitely be harm to the people."

The little ghost was much weaker than the firebird underground last time. Zuo Lingquan was definitely startled, but he had no intention of retreating. He took out a handful of lighting beads, illuminated the surrounding area brightly, and leaned behind Jiang Yi:

"Look for it. I'll pay attention to the surroundings. If you really see something, don't panic. It's all an illusion."

"Just don't panic, I'll scare you."

Jiang Yi mocked, put on the silver mask, took out the remaining two Five Thunder Talismans from the talisman holder, and walked slowly along the hillside. Within a moment, she found a mountain stream near the mountain temple.

The mountain stream flows along the hillside to the small stream between the mountain cols. The source is a cave entrance half a person's height. If you smell it carefully, you will find that the stream has a foul smell.

Jiang Yi held the talisman and walked towards the entrance of the cave:

“The body must be inside.

Zuo Lingquan paid attention to the rear, and clearly felt that the cave behind was very cold, or that there was a strong yin energy, and he said:

"I'll go ahead, please watch your back."

As he spoke, Zuo Lingquan turned around and walked slowly deeper into the cave.

The cave was only half a person high. It looked like it had been washed out by water. No one had ever set foot in it. The smelly water reached up to his ankles, and there was a faint black mist in the air. It was extremely pungent, and Zuo Lingquan didn't dare to breathe.

Hua Hua

After the two of them bent down and entered the narrow cave entrance, the sound of rain outside became silent, leaving only the soft sound of water flowing under their feet, making the cave look eerie and eerie.

Jiang Yi's heartbeat was very fast. She held the talisman in one hand and grabbed Zuo Lingquan's sleeve with the other hand and whispered:

"How deep?"

"have no idea."

Zuo Lingquan walked about seven or eight feet, and the black fog in front of him was so thick that he couldn't see a few feet in front of him, and there was a "buzzing~" sound in his arms.

"What sound?!"

"The little beetles are flapping."

Zuo Lingquan looked a little confused, took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms and opened the lid.

Buzz buzz~

The black beetle flew out of the porcelain bottle and circled in the black mist. You could see that the black mist was stirred up into a vortex and quickly gathered towards the beetle.

Zuo Lingquan didn't expect that the little beetle could have such an effect. He slowed down and followed, letting the little beetle fly in front; but in a moment, the black mist in the cave was sucked away, and the two of them came to an empty space. Inside the cave.

The cave must be a natural formation and is quite large. Below it is a green pool with a fishy smell.

It had been raining for days, and the water level of the pool had overflowed the entrance of the cave, so it flowed out. There were some highlands next to it. In the farthest distance, you could see a large hole with water flowing down. The water flowing out was clear water, and the source was unknown.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and walked around the deep pool, reached the high point of the cave, and threw a lighting bead into the pool.

Boom

The lighting beads entered the water and immediately illuminated the green pool.

Zuo Lingquan and Jiang Yi looked down, and the scene under the water made their hair stand on end!

I saw countless skeletons piled densely at the bottom of the pool. Almost none of them were complete, and most of them were broken bones.

The topmost skeleton had just died at the time and was still connected to its unrotten flesh. There were many corpse insects crawling in the gaps and between the eye sockets of the skeleton. When viewed from the water, it looked like a small hell of bones.

Jiang Yirao was used to seeing people being bitten to death by ferocious beasts. Seeing this scene, her face turned pale:

"This...this place..."

Zuo Lingquan's heart inevitably beat a little faster. Just as he was about to speak, his ears suddenly moved and he quickly blocked Jiang Yi behind him, looking towards the flowing stone cave in the distance.

Tap tap tap

The sound of extremely fast footsteps came from far and near, until they stopped suddenly near the cave.

If you can hear footsteps, it means you are alive.

Jiang Yi held the hilt of the sword, stepped back a few steps, and stared at the hole cautiously.

Zuo Lingquan knew that the other party had discovered them, so he raised his hand and took out an 'earthquake talisman' and threw it towards the watery hole in the distance, hoping to blow it up.

But halfway through the flight of the talisman, a low voice was heard coming from the entrance of the cave:

"untie!"

The top-grade talisman produced in Fulong Mountain, the moment the sound came out, the light dissipated completely and fell towards the water. ? !

Zuo Lingquan's eyes were stunned. He didn't expect that the talisman could be reversed and broken. Knowing that he had encountered a rare and powerful enemy, he rushed to the entrance of the cave without hesitation, bit his finger, and sprinkled a circle of blood on the stone outside the entrance. At the same time, he raised his hands and quickly said:

"The dragon suppresses the demon, the pagoda imprisons the dragon..."

The people in the cave obviously knew what Zuo Lingquan was doing. They rushed out in an instant, wearing a blue Taoist robe and fluttering in the air. They were still in mid-air, and their hands had already begun to make seals, and a green stream of light erupted from their bodies.

The two of them were in tandem, but the figure in green was obviously much higher in cultivation, and his speed in making secrets was much faster than that of Zuo Lingquan. He obviously made the move later, but at the same time he scolded Zuo Lingquan:

"town!"

"town!"

boom

A strong wind suddenly rose in the empty stone cave, and the black and green true qi turned into a torrent and collided with each other.

Jiang Yi quickly retreated, and when he looked up, he saw two nine-story towers appearing out of thin air!

The shadows of the towers were one black and one green, and they looked exactly the same. They fell from above and landed on the heads of the two people who were far apart.

Boom?!

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

Cracks appeared on the stone ground under Zuo Lingquan's feet, and the whole person was pressed to kneel on one knee on the ground. He relied on the long sword to support his body so that he didn't fall directly. His eyes could not hide the shock.

The green-clothed figure was also shocked. He was hit on the head by the nine-story demon-suppressing tower as soon as he came out, and was directly pressed into the dark green corpse pool, with his feet sinking into piles of white bones.

The green-clothed figure reacted very quickly. The glove on his left arm exploded, revealing a white jade arm with flashing light on it. A bowl-sized thunder exploded the pool water and hit Zuo Lingquan in the face.

Thunderbolt

Zuo Lingquan was extremely nervous. Facing an unbeatable opponent, how could he wait to be beaten? As the pagoda pressed down, the sleeve of his left arm exploded, and he deployed the Phoenix Arm Guard in advance to protect himself.

Boom

The earth-shaking thunder struck the Phoenix Shield, and even the entire cave trembled.

Although he failed to break the Phoenix Shield, he also shook Zuo Lingquan so much that he was unstable and almost fell down under the nine-story tower.

When deploying the arm guard to block, Zuo Lingquan was not idle either. He quickly threw out nine long swords with his right hand, each of which was attached with ten white jade coins in advance, and inserted above the pool, and the last one was inserted in the middle.

As soon as the lightning strike passed, Zuo Lingquan, carrying the tower on his back, raised his hand and quickly made a spell:

"The Jade Hall's decree, the Eight Desolate Ceremony..."

The young man in green was pressed under the pool. He found that the lightning strike was ineffective, so he quickly raised his hand and made a spell. His whole body of true energy poured out, and a thundercloud condensed above the pool in the stone cave.

Crackling

The thundercloud flashed with purple lightning, and its power was terrifying. If it exploded, it would be possible to blow the entire stone cave into ruins.

Seeing the thundercloud condense, Zuo Lingquan also finished the spell, sprinkled the blood on the top of the long sword, and said in a deep voice:

"Suppress!"

"Gurgle"

The sound came from the water immediately afterwards, and it was known to be "shock" without guessing.

However, when the young man in green robe spoke, the thundercloud above did not explode, but quickly collapsed and was pressed towards the pool.

Buzz buzz buzz

The nine swords trembled rapidly, pressing all the chaotic gas in the cave to the surface of the water.

The young man in green clothes below was suppressed by the dragon-prisoning formation and could not get out. When he found that the magic was ineffective, he showed disbelief in his eyes and raised his hands to make a seal again.

But under the magic sword formation, whether it was magic or talismans, or even the several magic tools thrown out, they all lost control as soon as they were used, and all sank to the bottom of the water.

However, in a short moment, there was a noise in the cave, and the surging energy hit Jiang Yi and pressed him against the stone wall.

Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Lingquan was maintaining the dragon-prisoning formation and the demon-sealing sword formation at the same time. Even if there was white jade beads to support the sword formation, the consumption was like a flood, and it could not last long. He quickly took out the white jade beads, crushed them, and threw them on the long swords around the pool.

Zuo Lingquan saw that the person below was definitely not a casual cultivator. He looked young and could only be an inner disciple of the Nine Sects to have these divine means. He said in a hurry:

"Who are you, brother? This is nothing special. Don't fight your own people."

Under the pool, the young man in green robe was also forcibly controlling the Dragon Prison Formation, and at the same time trying to break through the Demon Sealing Sword Formation. The consumption was no less than Zuo Lingquan. Hearing the sound, he said:

"Gurgle Gurgle..."

Damn!

Zuo Lingquan forcibly controlled the formation and said in a deep voice:

"You withdraw the formation first, otherwise I will use my killing move and accidentally kill you. Your master, don't come to me for trouble."

The young man in green robe under the water was suppressed by the Demon Sealing Sword Formation and could not use his magical powers. How could he dare to withdraw the Dragon Prison Formation that had already been launched?

His eyes were slightly cold, and he forced the Dragon Prison Formation to activate. The green nine-story tower pressing on Zuo Lingquan burst into light.

Zuo Lingquan felt that his body suddenly became heavy and he couldn't bear it at all. He said angrily:

"You are looking for death."

After speaking, he grasped the hilt of the Mo Yuan Sword, and the sword intent soared into the sky.

The incomparable penetrating power swept the entire cave, and even the green tower pressing on Zuo Lingquan shook.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the young man in the robe as if he was looking at a dead man.

The young man in the green robe was surprised again. He probably didn't expect Zuo Lingquan to have a killer move, and his initial power was so amazing.

He didn't hesitate at all and let go of his hands.

"Gululu!"

The next moment, the nine-story tower on Zuo Lingquan's body disappeared.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't draw his sword just now, he was just bluffing; the remaining true energy he had was only enough to barely draw a sword, and he probably couldn't run faster than the guy in front of him if he turned around and ran away. He could only remove the formation to preserve his true energy, use his arm guard to block in front of him, and hold the sword ready to go.

Crash

As soon as the formation disappeared, the young man in green robe jumped out of the pool of corpse water, and he retched when he landed on the stone on the ground:

"Ugh... cough cough... are you Shangguan Jiulong?"

Zuo Lingquan is not Shangguan Jiulong, but what can he say at this time?

"That's right, Your Excellency?"

The young man in green robe knew it was so. The only one in the world who could use both the Demon Sealing Sword Formation and the Dragon Prison Formation at the same time was the direct descendant of the Tietou Mansion. His eyes were full of annoyance:

"I am Xu Mo from Fulong Mountain, eighth on the Young Dragon List, right in front of you. You haven't seen me, and you haven't heard of this arm?"

Xu Mo raised his left arm and shook the white jade arm made of rare treasures from heaven and earth.

"..."

How could Zuo Lingquan have the time to know the list of bad guys? He was not Shangguan Jiulong.

But the guy in front of him is really powerful, and he can't show any signs of it.

Although the nine southern sects are not monolithic in private, and there are constant small-scale frictions, monks like 'Qingkui', who are the heirs of the sect, will definitely not kill each other.

Because in the future, when you become a sect leader, you will have to sit at the same table to discuss things. There is no benefit in making a deadly feud in advance; and you can't beat him to death. Anyone who can become the leader of the Nine Sects is not a good enemy. It is not that easy to distinguish between life and death. It is very likely that the ancestor will speak from the sky before the winner is decided, and then we have to stop honestly.

As long as the other party mistakenly thinks that he is 'Shangguan Jiulong', it will be impossible to take action again. For the sake of safety, Zuo Lingquan can only pretend to be someone else at this time, cupping his hands and saying:

"It turns out to be Brother Xu. Sorry, I just came out of the mountain not long ago. I have been practicing hard in the past, but I really haven't understood this."

Xu Mo, a white jade-armed man, was twenty years old and was at the sixth level of the Spiritual Valley. He was also a Qingkui, and his physical strength was much greater than that of Zuo Lingquan. He was caught off guard and was suppressed by two immortals. He felt angry in his heart and said again:

"I saw the Demon-Sealing Sword Formation and didn't kill me. Otherwise, do you think you can suppress me? You just cultivated your combat power without cultivating your vision. If you met a bad-tempered person, you just died."

Zuo Lingquan disagreed with this statement:

"Brother Xu just struck by lightning. If I couldn't stop it, I would die. Do you call this a killer?"

"The Demon-Sealing Sword Formation has not come out. How would I know what kind of technique you are performing? You are doing it outside without saying a word. When you come up, it is a killing move. I don't fight back and just stand there and let you hit me?"

Xu Mo was all sticky. He looked down and felt disgusting. He raised his hands and chanted sutras to wash away the messy water stains all over his body.

Jiang Yi saw that this fool really believed that Zuo Lingquan was 'Shangguan Jiulong', so naturally she would not expose it. She said softly:

"My young master has always been like this. Xu Xian will take some time to calm down."

Zuo Lingquan also raised his hand and said, "I'm guilty of this. Why is Senior Brother Xu here? I thought that Senior Brother Xu was hiding harm to the people here, so I struck first."

After Xu Mo vented his anger, he calmed down and pointed to the pool with his eyes:

"I heard that there are ghosts here, and I came here to drive them away. You think that's why you came here. Just now I was looking for lonely ghosts in the cave, and I heard something moving outside, so I came out to have a look, and the result was good..."

Zuo Lingquan had no doubt about this statement that 'Qingkui' was the apple of the eye of the Nine Sects and had an exaggerated amount of training resources. Even if Xu Mo lost his temper, he would not kill people for fun in the ravines. If he came here for It makes sense to subjugate demons and eliminate demons.

Jiang Yi also felt that Xu Mo was not telling lies. She thought for a while and said:

"The fierce ghost just appeared in the mountain temple, and we beat it away. It is hidden somewhere, but Xu Xianchang has found it."

"The yin energy here is too strong, and the yin things are hidden very deep. I couldn't find them during the day."

Xu Mo gestured to the entrance of the cave where water was flowing: "I just came out from there. If you came in from the mountain temple and didn't see it, the little devil must still be hiding here."

Hearing this, Zuo Lingquan looked around the empty cave and then looked at the bottom of the pool. He originally wanted to ask how to find it, but then he thought about Qing Kui, a dignified man from the Iron Head Mansion. Asking such an idiotic question would definitely reveal the truth. So he put away his sword and said with a smile:

"Since Brother Xu came here first, I won't compete with Brother Xu for the power of subduing the demon. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he was ready to leave with Jiang Yi.

However, Xu Mo had no intention of letting the two of them leave. He took out a stack of talismans, pasted them on the surrounding stone walls one by one, and said:

"It is impossible for a little ghost to harm so many people. Moreover, ghosts usually harm people by bewitching their minds and inducing people to seek their own death, such as falling into a pool and drowning. However, the corpses in the pool are incomplete, so it cannot be the work of evil spirits."

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan could only stop and look down.

Jiang Yi also came to the pool, carefully looked at the corpses below, and frowned:

"The bones have been bitten. Judging from the tooth marks, they are not too big. The severely bitten parts are all on the lower limbs. It looks like they were dragged into the water and drowned before the flesh and blood was eaten away. Water anaconda and four-cornered soil The dragon will chop people to pieces, unlike these two common ferocious beasts..."

When Xu Mo heard these words, he looked back slightly surprised:

"I didn't realize that the little fairy is still an expert."

Jiang Yi used to be in charge of the arrest department and saw many corpses bitten by ferocious beasts. She said softly:

"There are cracks on the wrists of some of the skeletons, which should be caused by their wrists being tied and struggling desperately before death; these people were tied and deliberately thrown into the water and fed something."

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he felt a chill in his heart and said:

"These skeletons should be those of people who have disappeared in recent years. Could it be that some crazy person is raising ferocious beasts with living people?"

Xu Mo was not surprised by this: "There are many disasters in the world that hide the hearts of beasts in human skin. The reason why Yin objects can appear here should be because too much Yin Qi has accumulated over time, which leads to those with heavy obsessions. After their souls die, If it doesn’t dissipate, it will remain in the world as a lonely ghost.”

Jiang Yi only reminded her, but she remembered something and said:

"I just vaguely heard the ghost calling 'Mother'. When we came here, we met an old woman in the county town. She was an only son. I heard she was very filial. She died an unexpected death, but her mother was lonely and helpless in the world... ""

Xu Mo went to see the farmer who scared his soul yesterday and already knew the identity of the kid. He shook his head and sighed:

"He is Aunt Li's son. He couldn't let go of his mother at home after his death. He was too obsessed with her and turned into a little ghost through the yin energy of this place."

Zuo Lingquan frowned when he heard this.

Jiang Yi also had mixed emotions. She took off the mask on her face and asked:

"Then what should we do? Should we eliminate this ghost or not?"

Xu Mo's face was a little sad, but he didn't stop pasting the talisman:

"People cannot be resurrected after death. The only way to escape is to escape from reincarnation as soon as possible."

"Then Aunt Li..."

"Ghosts are the remnants of human beings transformed into ghosts. Human emotions and even memories have long since dissipated, leaving only a trace of obsession. You can't take a ghost and run away to reunite mother and child. Even if you take it, the only possibility is It also frightened Aunt Li to death, and she still refused to rest in peace.”

Xu Mo finished pasting the talismans and sat cross-legged next to the pool:

"The cycle of life and death is endless. What we monks do to slay demons is to send things that should not exist in the world into reincarnation. Love, hate, and grudges in the world are not our business."

Jiang Yi thought about it and felt that this made sense.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and said: "The roots must be removed, otherwise if these lonely ghosts are sent away, new ones will appear later. Can Brother Xu find out the source?"

Xu Mo took out the magic bell, shook his head and said:

"Judging from the direction of Feng Shui, the underground river leads to the northwest, and the source has not yet been found. This is the boundary of your Tiedong Mansion. It should not be difficult to find it with Brother Shangguan's methods."

?

I have a hammer method...

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Then I'll go and solve the root cause. Brother Xu is here to do this. I don't think I need anyone to protect me. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he took Jiang Yi out of the cave.

Xu Mo was about to do it, then lowered his head and looked at the pool water:

"You don't want your spiritual pet anymore?"

Zuo Lingquan paused for a moment before he remembered his little insect. He turned around and saw the little beetle swimming happily in the pool with no intention of leaving.

Zuo Lingquan wanted to call the little beetle back, but he didn't know how to call it back and was a little embarrassed for a while.

Fortunately, eating the dumplings without doing anything had some effect. He flew out of Jiang Yi's sleeves, flapped his wings and flew above the pool water, catching a small beetle.

Xu Mo raised his eyes and glanced at the dumplings, slightly surprised:

"This bird is really fat. It looks like a ball. What kind is it?"

"grumble?"

Tuanzi flapped his small wings that didn't match his body shape vigorously, and was a little unhappy. However, under Zuo Lingquan's gaze, he still pretended not to understand and put them on his shoulders.

Zuo Lingquan responded casually: "White jade chicken.", turned around and walked out of the cave.

After Xu Mo watched the two people leave, he held the copper bell and shook it gently, silently reciting the incantation in his mouth, and the talismans around the cave also shimmered.

But after ringing twice, the bell rang again.

"White Jade Chicken...sounds a bit familiar..."

……——

I originally wanted to ask for a monthly pass, but I found that the ranking of the monthly pass was too low, so there was no point in asking for it. But if I don’t ask for something, it feels like it would be in vain, so...

May the God of Wealth bless our brothers and sisters with abundant wealth!
