Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 147 The Rotten Bones in the Deep Pool

Creaking, creaking——

In the early morning, the wind blew raindrops and hit the windows, making a slight sound from the old windows.

In the inn room, Jiang Yi was lying on the bed with a rosy face, sleeping as sweetly as a baby; her hands were placed on Zuo Lingquan's chest, and her legs were also placed on Zuo Lingquan's waist. Her nightgown was pulled apart, and her soft armor outlined the The graceful curves are still on display, and the soft armor is made of snake scales, looking like a beautiful snake coiled around the body.

Jiang Yi lived alone in the past and liked to sleep with Leng Zhu. Obviously, she did not expect that she would behave in such an inappropriate manner after falling asleep.

Zuo Lingquan actually didn't expect it. He had been paying attention to the movements outside, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yi started to do it in the middle of the night - first she rolled in front of him, touched him a few times, and stayed on his chest. He seemed to be wondering why Leng Zhu's breasts were gone; then he rubbed them here and there dishonestly while sleeping, and even breathed like a blue, which almost made him unable to control himself.

Fortunately, after staying up all night, it finally dawned.

Zuo Lingquan tilted his head and tapped Jiang Yi's lips.

"Hmm~..."

Jiang Yi's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She looked around blankly at first. After realizing that her posture was wrong, her eyes widened and she quickly retreated to the wall. She hugged the quilt and said in panic:

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

It seems that he hasn't woken up yet.

Zuo Lingquan lay still without moving, his eyes helpless:

"I'm still lying in the same place as last night. I didn't even move my butt. What can I do to the princess?"

"..."

Jiang Yi blinked and realized that she seemed to be the one who made the first move, and her face suddenly turned red. However, she quickly regained her composure, quickly turned over Zuo Lingquan, stood on the ground, and changed the subject:

"Get up quickly, we still have to investigate the case. What if another citizen disappears..."

As he spoke, he ran behind the screen and began to change his skirt.

Zuo Lingquan laughed twice and did not tease Jiang Yi. He stood up and put on clean clothes. He also hung the talisman, sword and other items on his body, took out bird food and insect food, and fed the two little pets breakfast.

The little beetle has eaten a lot of split-vein centipedes, and now it looks a bit like a spiritual pet. The appearance has not changed, but the toxicity is obviously stronger. As for how to tell, it's simple - the dumplings have grown in size, and now they can eat small beetles in one bite. However, after taking a bite, they found that the taste was not right, so they threw it aside with a "Bah~".

The little black beetle was not angry at all. It dragged the dried centipede into the porcelain vase, and stole a piece of dried fruit back while Tuanzi was not paying attention. When Tuanzi found out, it had already got into the porcelain vase. Tuanzi was so angry that he couldn't get in, and put it back. The porcelain bottle was kicked all over the table.

Jiang Yi also needs to eat, but the Xianjia Market sells 'Bigu Pills', which can make Qi Refining monks not eat for a short period of time. Eating out is troublesome, so Jiang Yi takes one, so she doesn't have to bother her fiancé to go downstairs to buy breakfast. .

After preparing for a while in the inn, they both packed 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 had frightened the two of them last night, was sitting at the door in a daze. There were more people on the street, and there were also some Jianghu people driving horses and horses, coming from the west and heading towards the county town.

Zuo Lingquan took Jiang Yi to the town to inquire about news from Dahuang Ridge. It's just that the two of them walked around in a circle, but they didn't hear any rumors of ferocious beasts outside the county town. Instead, they met many market ladies talking about hauntings, and they heard that there was also a person who ran away from a ghost.

Based on the news, Zuo Lingquan came to a house in the county. A ritual was being done to summon spirits in the house. He sneaked in and took a look. The person being summoned was unconscious and was being treated by a doctor. He couldn't ask for anything.

After searching in the city to no avail, Zuo Lingquan had no choice but to take a stupid approach and go to Dahuang Ridge with Jiang Yi to look for clues on his own.

Dahuangling is on the north side of Pengyu County. There are about 40 miles of mountain roads. There are a few villages on the road. The rest of the area is deserted and only a few pieces of land can be seen on the hillside. The so-called "Dahuang Ridge" is just a relatively large mountain ridge among the mountains. There is a small river between the mountains, and the river water turns muddy yellow under heavy rain.

Jiang Yi was clean and fair last night, but when she got near Dahuang Ridge, she turned into a drowned phoenix again. Tuanzi's white hair was wet and stuck to his body, and he seemed to have lost weight.

Although a little embarrassed, Jiang Yi looked very serious. She held a wooden stick in her hand and searched among the trees, occasionally looking at the marks on the tree trunks.

The deep mountains are not without human traces. Occasionally, you can encounter trails carved out by woodcutters. Unfortunately, the rain has washed away most of the traces.

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

"What are you looking for?"

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

"Looking for shit."

"Well……?"

"What's so weird? Whether ferocious beasts or spiritual beasts, their habits are not much different from ordinary birds and beasts; just like dumplings, like ordinary sparrows, they like to eat seeds and sleep in a safe and soft place. They can cause trouble. Most of the ferocious beasts are transformed by ferocious beasts eating spiritual grass by mistake. The ferocious beasts have their own territory and will enclose the territory with their excrement. If you find it, you can determine the type and approximate range of activities."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking seriously, he hummed:

"This kind of dirty and tiring work is often done by police officers. It's normal for a rich young man like you who comes from a wealthy family not to know this."

Zuo Lingquan knew this knowledge, but he really didn’t expect to be able to track the beast in such a reverse direction. He chuckled and said:

"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, and knew that this method would not work. She asked Zuo Lingquan to take out the treasure hunting compass and take it for a spin in the mountains:

"Wherever the ferocious beasts roam, there must be treasures of heaven and earth. No matter how bad things are, there are still 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 many good things. I... Turned over to the national treasury..."

Zuo Lingquan smiled at the corner of 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.

Unfortunately, even if Jiang Yi had experience in tracking ferocious beasts and had the help of a treasure hunter's compass, it was impossible to find traces of ferocious beasts in places where there were no ferocious beasts.

Jiang Yi took the compass and searched all the corners of 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 "whirr--" sound.

The two of them searched carefully all day long, until it was completely dark, and then they discovered something strange on the mountainside of Dahuang Ridge.

Jiang Yi took the lighting bead from Zuo Lingquan's hand, looked at the slope next to the winding path, used a stick to push away 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 looked up - the hillside was about four to five feet high, and there should be flat ground going up. He first let Tuanzi fly up to take a look, and after making sure there was nothing unusual, 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 from 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.

Hurrah——

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 moved her eyes to the side - the mountain god stone statue lying on the ground, 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 the eyes of the stone statue were slowly dripping with dark red blood...

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 rain dripping from above, 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.

In the mountain temple, the wind is blowing, and only the sound of rain can be heard.

Jiang Yi's body froze slightly, and Tuanzi got into Jiang Yi's sleeve in fright, and the mountain temple fell into dead silence, as if there was no one else, 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:

"Don't turn around."

Jiang Yi paused. Although she didn't look back, she clearly saw a faint shadow moving on the wall of the mountain temple, and a voice sounded in her mind:

"Ah~~it hurts~~~mother..."

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

Jiang Yi's back felt chills, she felt that thing approaching, she gritted her teeth, and said in a loud voice:

"I am a majestic princess of a country, a descendant of a real dragon, how can I be afraid of lonely ghosts, scaring me, right?"

While speaking, she took out a Five Thunder Talisman from the talisman folder, injected it into True Qi, raised her hand and threw it behind her.

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

Boom boom boom boom——

Five deafening thunderclaps sounded in the dilapidated mountain temple, and the glaring white light turned the temple into snow white.

Thunder method is the head of all laws, and it is the most powerful and the most powerful. Even monks with physical protection can be smashed to death when they encounter Thunder Tribulation, and there is nowhere to hide from the ghosts and monsters in the world.

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

Jiang Yi quickly turned her head and looked outside the temple: "How is it? Have you been hacked to death?"

Zuo Lingquan had sharp eyes and pulled Jiang Yi out of the mountain temple:

"Scared away. I met someone here last time, and we met again. They must be hiding nearby."

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

"It's just a little devil who confuses the mind. Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. We can't do anything to us. If we don't find it and kill it, there will definitely be people who will be harmed."

The little ghost was much weaker than the fire bird in the ground last time, Zuo Lingquan was taken aback, but he didn't intend to quit. He took out a handful of lighting beads, illuminated the surroundings brightly, and leaned against Jiang Yi's back:

"You look, I pay attention to the surroundings, don't panic if you really see something, 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 folder, and walked slowly along the hillside. Within a short while, she found a mountain stream near the mountain temple.

The mountain stream flows along the hillside to the small stream between the depressions. The source is a half-person-high cave entrance. If you smell it carefully, 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 was paying attention to the rear, and obviously felt that the cold air in the cave behind was threatening, or that the yin air was heavy, so 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 is only half a person high. It looks like it was washed out by water. It seems that no one has set foot in it. The smelly water reaches up to the ankles, and there is a faint black mist in the air. It is extremely pungent, and Zuo Lingquan does not dare to breathe.

Wow~~

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 was 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 small beetle could have such an effect. He slowed down and followed, letting the small beetle fly in front; but within a moment, the black mist in the cave was sucked away, and the two of them arrived at an open cave. Inside.

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 a high point in 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 saw the underwater scene, which made their hair stand on end!

I saw countless skeletons piled densely at the bottom of the pool, almost none of them 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.

Tread Tread——

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, took a few steps back, 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 High 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 broken in reverse. 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. Raise your hands and quickly pinch:

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

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

The two of them were in tandem, but the figure in Tsing Yi's cultivation level was obviously much higher, and his kneading speed 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!"

bang——

A strong wind blew up in the empty cave, and the black and cyan True Qi turned into torrents and impacted together.

Jiang Yi quickly backed away and looked up to see two nine-story towers appearing out of thin air!

The shadow of the tower, one black and one green, with exactly the same shape, fell from above and landed on the heads of the two people who were far apart.

Boom boom——

? !

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

There were cracks on the stone ground under Zuo Lingquan's feet. He was forced to kneel on one knee on the ground. He relied on his sword to support his body and kept himself from falling down. He could not hide the shock in his eyes.

The shock in the eyes of the figure in green was also not small. When he came out, he was hit on the head by the nine-story Demon Suppression Tower and was directly pressed into the pool of green corpses. His feet were buried in bones.

The figure in Tsing Yi reacted very quickly, and the glove on his left arm exploded, revealing a white jade-like arm, with light flashing on it, and a thunderbolt as thick as the mouth of a bowl exploded the water in the pool, hitting Zuo Lingquan's door directly.

thunderbolt--

Zuo Lingquan's mind was stretched to the extreme, facing an unrivaled opponent, how could he wait to be beaten, when the pagoda was pressed down, the sleeve robe on his left arm burst, and he unfolded the phoenix armguard in front of his body in advance.

bang——

Earth-shaking thunder struck the Phoenix Shield, causing the entire cave to tremble.

Although he failed to break through the Phoenix Shield, it still shook Zuo Lingquan so much that he was almost knocked down by the nine-story tower.

Zuo Lingquan was not idle when he opened his armguard to block, and quickly threw nine long swords with his right hand. Each sword was attached with ten white jade bahts in advance, and they were inserted above the pool, and the last one was inserted in the middle .

As soon as the lightning strike passed, Zuo Lingquan held the tower on his back and raised his hand to quickly say:

"Yutang's edict, Bahuang's court ceremony..."

The young man in Tsing Yi was crushed under the pool and found that the lightning strike was ineffective, so he quickly raised his hand to make a tactic, True Qi poured out from his body, forming a thundercloud above the pool in the cave.

Crackling——

The blue and purple lightning flashed within the thunder cloud, and its power was terrifying. If it broke out, it would be impossible to blow the entire cave into ruins.

Seeing the thunder clouds gathering, Zuo Lingquan also finished the spell, sprinkled the blood beads on his hand on the long sword at the top, and said in a deep voice:

"town!"

"Gulu——"

There was a sound coming from underwater immediately, and it didn't take much guessing to know that it was a "shock".

However, as the young man in green robe spoke, the thundercloud above did not explode. Instead, it quickly collapsed and was pressed toward the pool.

Buzz buzz——

The nine swords trembled rapidly, suppressing 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 Prison Formation and was unable to escape. After realizing that the spell had failed, his eyes showed disbelief and he raised his hand to perform the seal again.

However, under the Demon Sealing Sword Formation, no matter whether it was spells or talismans, or even the few Law Weapons thrown out, they all lost control and sank to the bottom of the water without any surprise.

But in just a short moment, there was a lot of noise in the cave, and the surging energy made Jiang Yi stick to the stone wall.

Jiang Yi knew that Zuo Lingquan maintained the Dragon Prison Formation and the Demon-Sealing Sword Formation at the same time. Even if there were white jade baht to support the sword formation, the consumption would be like a flood, and it would not last long. She quickly took out the white jade baht, crushed it and threw it on the long line around the pool. On the sword.

Zuo Lingquan saw that the person below was definitely not an Independent Cultivator. He looked young and could only be an inner sect of the Nine Sects with these Spirit Ascension methods. He said urgently:

"Who are you, brothers? There is no natural talent or earthly treasure here. Don't fucking beat your own people."

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

"Gulu gulu..."

Depend on!

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 teacher, please don't bother me."

The young man in green robe underwater was suppressed by the Demon Sealing Sword Formation and was unable to use his Divine Ability. How could he dare to retreat from the Dragon Prison Formation that had already taken action?

His eyes were slightly cold, and he forcibly activated the prison dragon formation, and the green nine-story tower pressing on Zuo Lingquan exploded with light.

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

"you wanna die."

After saying that, he held the hilt of Mo Yuan's sword, and the Sword Intent rose into the sky.

The unparalleled penetrating power swept through the entire cave, even the blue tower that was pressing on Zuo Lingquan shook.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the young man in robes as if looking at a dead person.

The green-robed young man's eyes once again showed astonishment. He probably didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan really had a killing move hidden, and the power of his attack was so astonishing.

Without the slightest hesitation, he let go of his hands.

"Gulu!"

The next moment, the nine-story tower on Zuo Lingquan disappeared into thin air.

Zuo Lingquan couldn't draw his sword at all just now, it was just a bluff; the True Qi he had left could only barely throw a sword, and when he turned around and ran away, he probably couldn't outrun the guy in front of him, so he could only remove the formation to retain True Qi and block it with his arm guards. In front of him, holding a sword ready to go.

Wow——

As soon as the formation disappeared, the green-robed young man jumped out of the pool of corpses, and he retched when he fell on the stone on the ground:

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

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

"Exactly, your Excellency?"

The young man in the green robe knew this. The only one in this world who can seal the Demon Sword Formation and the Prisoner Dragon Formation at the same time is the direct descendant of the Iron Arrow Mansion. His eyes were filled with annoyance:

"I'm Xu Mo from Fulong Mountain. I'm number eight on the young dragon list. I'm right in front of you. You haven't seen me, and you haven't heard of this arm?"

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

"..."

How could Zuo Lingquan have time to find out the list of good people, and he was not Shangguan Jiulong.

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

Although the nine southern sects are not monolithic in private, and there are constant small-scale frictions, monks like 'Qing Kui', 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 it cannot be beaten 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 before the winner is decided, the ancestor will speak in the sky, and it is still necessary to stop honestly when the time comes.

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 his name at this time, cupping his hands and saying:

"It turned out to be Brother Xu. I'm sorry. I just came out of the mountain not long ago. I have devoted myself to practicing in the past. I really didn't understand 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 exceeded Zuo Lingquan by a lot. 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 disagrees 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, so she said softly:

"My young master has always been like this. Xu Xian is relieved."

Zuo Lingquan also raised his hand and arched it: "I'm offended. 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 has no doubt about this - 'Qing Kui' is the apple of the eye of the Nine Sects and has an exaggerated amount of training resources. No matter how crazy Xu Mo gets, he can't kill people for fun in the ravines. If he comes here, In order to subjugate demons, that makes sense.

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

"The fierce ghost just now appeared in the mountain temple, and we beat it away. I don't know where it was hidden, 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 wanted to ask how to find it, but then he thought about it - Qingkui, a powerful man from the Iron Head Mansion, would definitely reveal his secrets by asking such an idiotic question. So he put away his sword and said with a smile:

"Since Brother Xu is 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, and 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, frowned and said:

"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 animals in human skin. The reason why Yin objects can appear here is that too much Yin Qi has accumulated over time, which led to the death of the souls of those with heavy obsessions. 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. He 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 after hearing this.

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

"Then what should we do? To get rid of this ghost or not to get rid of it?"

Xu Mo's face was a little sad, but he didn't stop putting on 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 scared Aunt Li to death, and she still refused to rest in peace.”

Xu Mo finished pasting the talisman, and sat cross-legged by 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 for a while, and felt that this made sense.

Zuo Lingquan thought for a while and said: "We must get rid of the roots. Otherwise, if we send these lonely ghosts away, new ones will appear later. Can Brother Xu find out the source?"

Xu Mo took out the 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 Iron Mansion. It should not be difficult to find it with Brother Shangguan's methods."

?

I have a hammer means...

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly, cupped his fists 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 speaking, he took Jiang Yi out of the cave.

Just as Xu Mo was about to do something, he looked down at Chi Shui again:

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

Zuo Lingquan paused before remembering 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 looked up at the dumpling, a little 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, feeling a little unhappy, but 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.

jingle--

jingle--

But after shaking twice, the bell rang again.

"White jade chicken... sounds 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 or2!
