Xianmen boss is actually my ex-boyfriend

"You mean, the monster in the sea that you met on the site of Zhongzhangzong?" Yu Ziframe was shocked.

Cheng Yuzhi pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Look, there are holes in the chest and abdomen, and the flood is approaching the village. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a sea guard, unless there is a new monster that we don't know about."

While talking, he opened the communication jade slip, and sent a message to Gu Yan at a speed that Lu Mingxi was caught off guard.

Lu Mingxi was startled.

It seemed that there was a terrifyingly huge spiritual pressure overflowing from his body, and he intercepted the message for two seconds before forcing the communication jade slip in his arms to ring.

Ding.

Mr. Cheng and Senior Brother Yu looked over in unison. They didn't feel the spiritual pressure half a meter away, but looked at the jade slip in his arms.

Mr. Cheng said kindly: "Fellow Daoist Xiaolu, if anyone is looking for you, go and answer the communication first."

Lu Mingxi looked down at the ground, and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Just as he was talking, Cheng Yuzhi sent two more messages in succession. There was no pause, and the two of them heard Lu Mingxi's communication jade slip ringing again.

Fellow Daoist Xiaolu couldn't stand this time, he nodded to them, and left the house with windy feet, probably going to the back room.

Cheng: Gu Xianjun, I have many things to ask you.

Cheng: Did Zhongzhang get rid of those huge sea guards before you did the shitty thing?

Cheng: Urgent, hurry back.

Gu: Zhongzhang sent people to clean up the sea guards, and most of them should have been cleaned up.

Cheng: In the past, you would come back right away. How can you wait so long today?

Gu: ...

Gu: After finishing the task, Yunzhi came back earlier and prepared some gifts for you.

Another gift?I'm afraid it's not another room full of natural treasures?

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and decided not to tease him on purpose.

He put the communication jade slip back into his Qiankun bag, and happened to see Lu Mingxi who had finished receiving the communication rushing in from the outside, gasping for breath, and looking over with his eyes open.

Fellow Daoist Xiaolu said, "Any news?"

Cheng Yuzhi narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Reliable sources say that some sea guards may have escaped from the arrests of the sky and earth nets, and may spread out along the waterway."

After listening to his words, Yu Ziframe also thought: "Then there are a few of them here."

Cheng Yunzhi's eyes fell on Lu Mingxi, and he let go of his frowning eyebrows.

He knows what kind of virtue Gu Yan is; but fellow Daoist Xiaolu's current performance doesn't look like the upper body of a fairy at all.

Cheng Yunzhi quickly bowed his head and sent another message.

He said in his mouth, "Then I'll ask again."

Hearing the voice of the communication jade slip coming from Lu Mingxi's arms again, he took out the jade slip, his face was too stiff to look at it.

He sneaked a glance at Cheng Yunzhi and said, "Yuzhi..."

Cheng Yunzhi said generously, "It's okay, you can pick it up again."

The fellow Daoist Xiaolu beside him obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and trotted to the back room again, his pace was hurried and flustered, as if there were a dozen water ghosts chasing him behind him.

Yu Ziframe looked over suspiciously: "Brother Cheng?"

Cheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just discovered a little secret that I didn't know about."

After Lu Mingxi came back from "sending the newsletter", they agreed to rest first, recharge their batteries, and go into the water in the afternoon to see the situation.

Cheng Yuzhi didn't expect to be able to see Haiwei's old lair from the river, after all, there might only be one or two Haiwei who came here, otherwise it wouldn't be three or two weeks before one person died.

The traces it left in the water are estimated to be extremely small.

The most feared thing now is to collide with the sea guard head-on.

Although the water is ruled by sea monsters, the monks are also able to pass through water. Cheng Yuzhi is confident that he can fight against the sea guards.

——What's more, there is a "little undercover agent" ambushing beside him.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yunzhi almost laughed out loud.

Lu Mingxi, who was still eating with chopsticks upright, stopped and looked over suspiciously.

Cheng Yuzhi just patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Xiao Lu, do a good job, and the road exploration in the afternoon depends on you."

Xiaolu was confused, but he didn't dare to speak out because he had ghosts in his heart.

After the three finished their lunch and reported the itinerary to the village chief, the old man with the white beard was really worried.

He anxiously grabbed two beards: "The river is in a hurry, if there are monsters in it, it is really dangerous for the immortal master to go here."

Yu Zijia coughed, and said seriously: "We are here this time because we are not afraid of hardships and dangers." Otherwise, we wouldn't take on such jobs without spirit stones.

Cheng Yuzhi: "That's right, the village chief, don't be afraid, we have been trained and will not be easily defeated."

The village head said: "Then let the interest follow you, so that we can have a care."

Lin Xingzhi came back from outside, and saluted them one by one: "Hello, Master Immortal, hello, Immortal Master, hello Immortal Master."

Cheng Yuzhi said: "It just so happens that we don't know the way, so we can let Brother Xingzhi take us around."

The way to the riverside happened to pass by the sacrificial altar that had already been completed.

No one is there now, only the ashes of the burnt paper fell on the ground, floating up and down with the breeze, and the tablet of Xiangling God was cast on the platform, silent.

Behind it is the Xiangling River, which is almost invisible at a glance.

Standing on the shore, the wind-blown sand is everywhere, and the vegetation is getting scarcer and scarcer on the shore, almost invisible.

If they had come a few months ago, they would still have seen a boatman struggling to row people from one end of the river to the other.

But now, there is nothing but rushing water and flying dust.

Cheng Yunzhi and the others walked to the shore, but nothing changed around them.

And when Lin Xingzhi walked out, a blue light flashed all over his body.

According to him, Qingguang is the privilege given to him by the official, allowing him to enter and exit the barrier freely.

Lin Xingzhi said: "This is the Xiangling River."

Several people listened to him, and suddenly Yu Ziframe glanced back, as if he keenly sensed the malicious gaze.

Cheng Yuzhi immediately reacted: "Is there someone behind?"

Yu Ziframe said in a deep voice, "Yes."

But when they rushed back and searched everywhere, they found no trace of anyone.

Lin Xingzhi said, "It may be someone who is curious in the village."

Cheng Yuzhi nodded, and deal with the matter here for the time being: "Okay then, let's go down first, you wait on the shore, we will come up soon."

The second time I went into the water to check for the traces of the sea guards, I was much more familiar with it than the first time.

However, there is more mud and sand in the river, even if Cheng Yuzhi used spiritual power to protect his eyes, his field of vision was firmly limited to within one meter.

He couldn't see his senior brother, fellow Daoist Xiaolu, and couldn't speak, so he was naturally a little anxious.

But soon, a hand stretched out, tightly grasping his fingers, not relaxing at all.

Someone passed through the turbulent water, broke through the barrier that could not be reached by sight, and appeared in front of him.

Cheng Yun's heart relaxed.

Lu Mingxi frowned tightly, pursed his lips, and straightened his back to grab him.

The posture is ridiculously stiff and clumsy. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to the rushing water, or because it's a strange body.

He straightened his arms and upper body, only his fingers were bent, his long hair was disheveled by the impact of the water, and it was thrown back.

From such a close distance, Cheng Yuzhi could even find the expression on his face that belonged to Gu Yan alone.

After sinking a little more, the water finally calmed down and no longer engulfed them downstream.

Cheng Yunzhi also found a high flat ground, and stepped on it carefully.

Just about to sigh, I remembered that I was in the water.

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Yu Zijian also broke through with all his strength, and swam down from above, unexpectedly faster and more neatly than the two of them.

He swam to the vicinity of Cheng Yunzhi, and returned to a standing posture.

The three signed signs silently, and finally decided to explore from another direction.

Finally, Cheng Yunzhi picked up a small piece of scale in the sand.

The three floated up together, and when their heads came out of the water, they breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the shore.

Cheng Yuzhi smiled, and Yu Ziframe also laughed, asking, "Have you found a clue?"

"A piece of scale," Cheng Yunzhi said, put the scale under the sun to check, and you can still see a few faint lines, "My guess is right, it is indeed it."

Lu Mingxi reminded them: "Let's talk when we go ashore."

As soon as he landed, Lin Xingzhi greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Have the fairy masters found any clues?"

Cheng Yunzhi nodded and took out the scale.

Lin Xingzhi looked at the scale, and stretched out his hand to touch it, but because the scale was in Cheng Yunzhi's hand, he finally withdrew his hand.

Cheng Yunzhi said solemnly: "In this way, we can be sure that there must be sea guards in Xiangling Village. Every time they go ashore, it is when they are hungry and want to eat people."

Lin Xingzhi: "The immortal master is right."

Cheng Yuzhi: "So we just need to block the sea guards at the beach before the next cycle, and kill them in one fell swoop."

Yu Ziframe nodded, touched his chin, and felt that the current simple and crude method is not bad.

Lu Mingxi naturally had no objection.

They told this conclusion to the village chief, and the white-bearded old man jumped up excitedly from his chair, wiping his tears and saying it was great.

"It's great that no one needs to be killed..." he said, "Don't worry, immortal masters, I will arrange guards, and the monster will be found as soon as it lands!"

He turned around and said, "Xingxing, you go and call them."

Lin Xingzhi lowered his head and said, "Okay, Grandpa Village Chief."

Manpower patrols were gathered here, and the immortal masters also used the excuse of practicing "killer moves" to return to the house to deal with unknown sea monsters.

After returning to the place where they were staying, Lu Mingxi closed the doors and windows to prevent anyone outside from hearing their voices.

Yu Ziframe also became alert all of a sudden, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Cheng Yuzhi said: "No, I just asked the village chief a question: where did the former immortal master live?"

Yu Ziframe suddenly realized: "This is what you just stayed and said secretly to the village chief? Is there any use in asking this?"

Cheng Yunzhi thought: "The residence of the former immortal master is not far from us, tell me, how about we go there to find clues?"

Since the former immortal master has already begun to summarize the rules, he already has a lot of evidence after all.

These evidences are undoubtedly crucial to the three immortal masters now.

So the big guy had to sneak out of the rear window like a thief again, and fumbled to the other side.

Yu Ziframe whispered: "Why are we so sneaky?"

Cheng Yuzhi signaled him to keep silent: "I doubt that someone will overhear us."

Lu Mingxi followed Cheng Yun, silently following the brothers.

Cheng Yunzhi turned around and realized that he was a little behind, so he immediately pulled the man over and stood between him and Yu Ziframe.

Lu Mingxi was taken aback, feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't make any adjustments.

After some hard work, they reached the back door of the former immortal master's house.

Probably because no one has lived in it for a long time, the weeds in front of the door are almost as tall as a person, and the door lock is even more rotten, and Cheng Yuzhi only needs to twist it lightly——

The doorknob just fell off.

Xiao Cheng was frightened: "I really used very little strength!"

The other two quickly pulled him into the room and closed the door softly.

I turned around and found nothing else, but found a few hairs in the bedding on the bed. It seems that after the former immortal master left, the people in the village didn't intend to come in to clean it.

Lu Mingxi said: "Yuzhi, come and take a look at this."

After hearing the news, Cheng Yuzhi rushed over and took the paper from Lu Mingxi.

He read it word by word in a low voice, and Yu Ziframe also put down the object in his hand, and leaned over to listen to him.

"... I initially suspected that it was a creature in the sea, because I could always smell a stench of fish, which really suffocated me to death."

"Maybe it's really a fish monster. The village is sealed off and needs water, so why go crazy in the village? Of course, it's just my little guess. How can there be an invisible fish monster? It's unheard of."

This is what Lu Mingxi found from the notebook under the corner of the table.

I don't know what strange places the trails turn.

"The way to die is a big hole in the chest. I dared to measure it and found that the size of the inner space is about the same. It's like a hiding place for something."

"Hey, those people said that I am a magic stick, here, there is really no place to use fairy arts!"

"I would like to perform fairy art, but I don't know how to tell divination, so what can I know!"

"I think there is a problem. That thing must be hiding around us."

"Where is it hiding, in the water of the fish school, or...in the blood of the dead villagers?"

Cheng Yuzhi closed the paper and came to a conclusion in disbelief: "It will hide among the villagers and take human form."

Those dead villagers are just the skins that it has emptied long ago.

When you're done eating, throw it away and replace it with someone else.

In other words, among the villagers who are still alive, at least one person is a monster wearing human skin.
