had a good time

The night before the engagement ceremony, Patriarch Gu sent all the families back to rest early, saying that he wanted to complete the decoration of Chongling Island overnight, so that it would be inconvenient for people to move around.

The guests didn't think much, they said goodbye to each other, and went back to their rooms, and no one came out.

The red candles on the island were bright and bright, reflected on the window sill of the front hall, and occasionally the attendants could hear the movement of the attendants arranging the ceremony site, rustling, the sound was not loud, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone.

Dressed in black, Wen Can blended into the night, and after confirming that there was no movement in Yunlian's room next door, she bypassed the attendants in the front hall and boarded the pier.

The surface of the river was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of the wind in the river seemed gentle, and the gentle breeze blew up his clothes.

Chongling Island is surrounded by water, and there are many river valleys around Jiangling. When night falls, there is always a light mist, so there are very few people walking around the shore, so as not to accidentally fall into the water.

And because the ceremony had to be arranged overnight and the lights were brightly lit, no one noticed that a candle lamp was inserted on each side of the pier, and the green light was reflected on the grass, which was not so conspicuous.

Wen Can pushed aside the grass, and it was no surprise that she saw the two distinctive candle lamps shining on the bank of the river.

It's a soul lamp!

The Gu family dared to use the soul-attracting lamp to attract evil spirits, this is too courageous, isn't it afraid of being backlashed by monsters?

Before the so-called evil heretics used the soul-inducing lamp to summon evil spirits, the soul-inducing lamp was created by an elder in the world of cultivating immortals. It was specially used to attract the souls of deceased people and to save mortals who died abnormally.

According to the different grievances that attract the soul, the color of the soul-inducing lamp will also change accordingly. For ordinary mortals with pure souls, the color displayed by the soul-inducing lamp will be white, which means that the soul has no grievances and can be rescued normally.

If the color of the soul-guiding lamp is red, it means that the soul is invaded by evil spirits and is in danger, until it turns completely dark green, it cannot be overthrown, and spiritual power is required to directly suppress it.

But looking at the colors of the two soul-attracting lamps on the bank of the river, Wen Can could tell that what the Gu family had attracted must be extremely evil spirits.

In the distance, the breeze blows on the surface of the river, causing waves of ripples. It looks calm on the surface, but if you look carefully, you will find that in the deepest part of the river, there seem to be circles of black objects oscillating with the fluctuations of the ripples.

Although Wen Can didn't have the Miexie Sword in his hand at this time, based on his experience in his previous life, he could sense that there were unkind things gathering and approaching.

He took a willow stick casually, took a boat into the river alone, and hung the willow stick by the side of the boat, swaying the ripples of the river.

The wicker swam out of a waterway, leading the black ripples under the water to follow unhurriedly. Wen Can leaned over to one side, the night was pitch black, half of his body was reflected on the river, as if meeting a pair of scarlet eyes His eyes almost sucked him in.

Wen Can didn't notice for a while, the wicker in his hand was dragged into the water, he turned over immediately, and then the boat began to shake from side to side, and circles of black swimmers surrounded him, almost swallowing the boat.

Seeing that even the people and the boat were about to be dragged down, Wen Can tapped the bow of the boat with her toes, and was about to pull out the bauhinia vine around her waist, soaring into the air, when suddenly a cold white sword light flashed in front of her, Wen Can only felt a tightness around his waist, and then his whole body was lifted up and landed on the Crossing Sword.

Yun Lian put an arm around Wen Can's waist, holding him steady, focused on the sword with the other hand, her eyes were cold.

Wen Can froze for a moment, before he could react from the darkness at the bottom of the water, Yun Lian asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

Wen Can tugged Yun Lian's sleeve tightly, and said with lingering fear: "There is something in this river."

In the pitch-black waters, there seemed to be countless bloody mouths coveting their blood.

Before Yun Lian could ask, the two of them heard a "grunt", and the boat that Wen Can was riding on just overturned the river, and then disappeared in an instant.

Yun Lian stared: "It's unreasonable that there are so many resentful spirits in the place where the family is stationed."

Wen Can replied: "It seems that these grievances have been entrenched here for a long time, and the Gu family couldn't have noticed it. Moreover, they wandered quietly in the river and did not attack passers-by. Obviously, they were often fed. "

Wraiths are different from ordinary monsters. They have no rules and don't understand the world. No matter where they live, as long as they are hungry, they will grab the nearby pedestrians to eat as they like. Unless someone feeds them regularly, they will not make trouble.

At least for so many years, Wen Can has never heard the news that passers-by were swallowed by water ghosts in the Jiangling area.

Yun Lian glanced sideways: "Do you doubt the Lord of Chongling Island?"

Wen Can didn't answer, but the result was obvious.This is no longer something that he can doubt whoever he wants to doubt, but the result is already in front of him, and it depends on how Chongling Island intends to explain it.

Under the dark night, the two stayed over the river for a long time. At this moment, a cloudy wind suddenly blew over the river, and the originally light mist suddenly thickened, blocking their sight.

From a distance, Wen Can saw a faint green light swaying in the deep fog, slowly disappearing in the dense fog.

Wen Can raised her finger to point there, and asked, "Look, senior brother, what is the light over there?"

After all, before the words fell, I saw several swaying boats sailing out of the mist. A green candle lamp was hung on the tall bamboo pole at the bow, which was clearly and warmly seen on both sides of the pier. The candles are exactly the same.

It wasn't until the boat was completely out of the fog that under the night, the skeletons paddling on the boat gradually appeared. There were several skeletons on each boat, and they were boating on the river like ordinary people, peaceful and comfortable.

The two were volleying above the river, the skeleton man had no eyes, so he couldn't notice them, he could only distinguish them by the smell of mortals, but Yun Lian did not know when he had set up a formation around the two of them, which did not disturb the skeleton man at all.

The skeleton man headed straight for Chongling Island, and a dozen boats approached the pier of Chongling Island, obviously attracted by the two soul-attracting lamps.

The skeleton men all landed on the island and disappeared in the mud, and then the boat disappeared under the mist.

Wen Can glanced at Yunlian with sideways eyes, and he nodded immediately: "It turned out to be a soul-inducing lamp, and the Gu family dared to use the soul-inducing lamp to attract skeletons."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yun Lian would not have believed it. As one of the four great aristocratic families, Chongling Island had always been the leader of the aristocratic family, how could he do such a detrimental thing to the immortal sect.

What's more, tomorrow is Gu Yangyang's engagement ceremony, and all the immortal families gather here, and any disturbances will not escape the eyes of these managers, what's more, it will make Chongling Island fall into injustice.

Unless Patriarch Gu is sure to catch them all and silence everyone, that old fox won't be so stupid as to set himself on fire at home.

Wen Can suddenly pondered: "If someone took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to control this group of evil spirits and surround all the rooms, it must have caused most of the loss to the Xianmen family."

In this group of celestial families who came to watch the ceremony, apart from those managers who only talk and have status but no ability, there are also Lianjiazi, even if they are caught off guard, the whole army will not be wiped out.

Patriarch Gu is really a good planner. If he really takes advantage of this opportunity and wins in one fell swoop, I'm afraid that after tomorrow, the whole world of cultivating immortals will change.

Yun Lian shook her head and said, "No, the Gu family won't be stupid enough to do it at this time."

“How come you see?”

Wen Can didn't say it directly, what he meant was how could Patriarch Gu be a smart person?

He still hasn't forgotten how this idiot put an arrow in his back in his previous life. In that case, he either took the initiative to kill himself, or was obviously used as a gun by someone.

Wen Can always believes that a truly smart hunter is not so easy to show up.

Noticing that there was no movement at the place where the skeleton man disappeared, Yun Lian slowly descended with Wen Can, and said, "Do you really think that these managers are only here to watch the ceremony?"

"No?" Wen Can asked.

"The news of the Su family's demise in Xingyang has spread throughout the Xianmen, followed by the old head of Chicheng Mountain. At this time, if any family has an accident, they will not be able to escape the fate of being involved in the "San Tong Qi". So Even at this time, no family will dare to take it lightly, you can go and see if there are magic circles around every wing room in charge."

Before coming, Yun Lian had walked around once, and he could sense the existence of the magic circle, so it was impossible for Patriarch Gu not to notice it.

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Can. In the mist, Yun Lian's voice became colder and colder: "Also, your Miexie Sword is also here, right?"

Wen Can raised his eyes suddenly, and met Shang Yunlian's probing gaze. He didn't expect that Yunlian could guess that he had been hiding it very well.

Wen Can said: "Brother, how do you know?"

Yunlian said helplessly: "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't know what happened to you at the foot of the mountain? If I don't even have this bit of vigilance, I'm afraid Liuhe Peak would have been sold by you and I wouldn't know. Besides, you seem to have forgotten Now, where did the Miexie Sword come from?"

The Sword Pavilion of Liuhe Peak...

Wen Can wrinkled the tip of his nose. How could he forget about this? Since the Miexie Sword was forged by Li Huai Xianzun, it naturally left a mark in the Jiange. I know the general whereabouts of the Miexie Sword.

This is equivalent to that, as his natal saber, the Crossing Sword has long been connected with Yun Lian's spiritual life. As long as he hooks his hand, no matter how far the Crossing Sword flies, it can return to his hand at once.

The Miexie Sword is the same as Dushi, it is a famous sword with extremely strong aura, and it is precisely because the aura is too strong, it is too strong and easy to break, and the wisdom will be hurt. The Miexie Sword has absorbed too much evil energy and turned into a sword. handle magic sword.

The Shidu Sword can find its owner on its own, as can the Miexie Sword, but it has a previous owner and has been sealed for too long, so it cannot be taken by Wen Can for his own use.

Doesn't this mean that he doesn't have a sword of his own destiny? I don't understand this.

Wen Can gave up on herself and said, "Since you already knew, you're still here watching me act like a monkey, don't you feel good?"

He really thought he could fool Yun Lian, but he didn't expect that he was the only one who was tricked in the end.

Yun Lian lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled up: "Aren't you also having fun acting?"

"Yeah, I'm very happy."

Wen Can would not say that he had been worried for a long time because he was going to act in front of Yun Lian.

He was afraid that acting would make Yun Lian angry, and he was afraid that if he didn't act, Yun Lian would discover his secret. Instead of letting Yun Lian know and hate him, it's better to push him away now, and it's over.
