Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

Lu Xiang has also heard of the river monster of the Wanyang River.

Wanyang River passes through a bend in the Jinshan Canyon, and the current is fast. When fishing boats pass by here, they often capsize.When the river surges in summer, the spiritual power of the river monster will increase greatly. It will take advantage of this opportunity to make troubles and kill more people, and its spiritual power will become stronger.

This river monster has been haunting Meng's land for almost a hundred years. Meng has been fighting against this river monster for many years, but he has not been able to completely eliminate this river monster. But every person who dies in this Wanyang River , this river demon can hang his life.

The river monster was hard to kill, so the Meng family adopted the method of suppression. On the cliff beside the river bend, a small suspended temple was built according to the upright mountain wall.This temple enshrines the three saints of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and then uses spiritual weapons as an array to suppress the river monster in this river bend.Strict precautions during the summer flood season can reduce the harm caused by the river monster.

Over the years, the Meng family has paid a very heavy price to suppress the river monster, but correspondingly, it has also been respected by the people who rely on the Wanyang River for their livelihood.

This situation lasted for decades and was broken by two people who appeared suddenly.

Yu Yunshan, Ji Nanhong and his wife.

Although Yu Yunshan failed to completely kill the river demon, he was still half-dead, while Ji Nanhong recreated the formation in the Xuankong Temple, which more effectively suppressed the half-dead river demon.

So for several years, this river demon has been honest and responsible.Even last year, more than ten years had passed since the Battle of Killing Demons, and the river monster hadn't caused trouble anymore.

Of course, this incident was also the original source of the tension between Mengshi and Yumen.

Meng Chengyan didn't shy away from this matter, but said bluntly: "Ji Nanhong's spiritual weapon is unparalleled in the world. Since that year, this river demon has never been able to come out of the water. But during the spring flood this year, there were several storms. , the river surged, so the river monster appeared again and overturned several fishing boats. Xi'an and I took our disciples to go there once, but the river monster is really evil...it is not an entity, it can also transform into illusions There are countless avatars, and every unjust soul who died in the Wanyang River may be a avatar of it. I am ashamed to say that my ability is limited, and my disciples have not yet mastered their cultivation. Xi'an deals with the river alone. The monster, it is really difficult. Now that Mr. Lu and Lord Sijun are here, it will be great. This time, the river monster will definitely be suppressed. If possible, it would be better to strangle it completely. This will solve the problem of the past hundred years. scourge."

"I'm actually not very good at subjugating demons. It depends on Sijun." Lu Xiang turned to look at Sijun as he spoke, afraid that he would be unhappy and say "it's none of my business".

But at this glance, Lu Xiang was a little surprised.Because Sijun was looking at Meng Xi'an intently, and immediately replied: "Okay."

Meng Xi'an also stared at Sijun, there seemed to be sparks flickering between the two.

Lu Xiang suddenly grasped his cuffs tightly, alarm bells rang in his heart, the way he looked at Meng Xi'an changed in an instant, and then his whole body became anxious.

Why is Sijun staring at Meng Xi'an so much!Could it be that Meng Xi'an is the person Sijun is looking for? !

Afterwards, Sijun and the Meng brothers talked about the river monster again.Last time, Meng Xi'an mainly relied on Meng Xi'an to suppress demons, so Si Jun asked many questions, and Meng Xi'an was the one who answered them.

Lu Xiang didn't listen to what they said, and was full of grievances, so he kept silent until they finished talking, Meng Chengyan stood up, and asked Lu Xiang and Sijun to rest early, and get up early tomorrow to go to Wanyang River.

Lu Xiang stood up and saluted, and Meng Chengyan went on to say: "A guest room has been arranged for the two of you, and the bedding and washing utensils are all ready. If there are other needs..."

"Why one room?" Lu Xiang suddenly said, interrupted Meng Chengyan angrily, and said, "We don't sleep in one room."

Sijun frowned slightly, squinted at Lu Xiang, but didn't make a sound.

Meng Chengyan was startled, and said hesitantly: "It's really impolite, but...don't everyone say that Mr. Lu and Lord Sijun are..."

Meng Chengyan didn't say anything later, he smiled, and said, "It's nothing, the courtyards on the left and right are allocated to Mr. Lu and Lord Sijun. I'll send someone to tidy up another room and come out. Morning, both of you." Some rest, more specific matters, we will discuss on the road tomorrow."

Seemingly knowing that the two were having an awkward relationship, Meng Chengyan didn't want to participate, so she quickly sent them away.

After leaving the main courtyard, a disciple led the two of them to the small courtyard where they lived. As soon as Lu Xiang went out, he began to act like a demon. After leaving the courtyard and sending the disciple away, Lu Xiang listlessly said "Sleep" to Si Jun and was about to go back to his room.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed past, and Sijun had quickly arrived in front of Lu Xiang, blocking Lu Xiang's way.

"What's going on?" Sijun stared at Lu Xiang with lowered eyebrows.

Lu Xiang took a quick glance at Sijun and quickly lowered his head, wanting to ask Sijun why he paid so much attention to Meng Xi'an.

In fact, Lu Xiang is also very clear that Sijun has been invincible for too long, and every time he meets someone who is stronger, he will be particularly interested.Just now he was dazzled by jealousy, but now that he has calmed down, he knows that Sijun's attention to Meng Xi'an has no other motives at all.

But Lu Xiang was still very upset, after all Meng Xi'an was really outstanding, Si Jun paid attention to Meng Xi'an, Lu Xiang felt very upset.

Thinking about it, Lenovo Sijun still has someone to look for... What if he is as good as Meng Xi'an...

It's over, it's over, I can't calm down, and I'm still jealous.Jealousy makes people ugly... Lu Xiang feels very ugly now.

Sijun reached out and knocked on Lu Xiang's forehead, and said, "Why don't you speak?"

Lu Xiang didn't want Sijun to discover his ugly face, so he immediately changed the subject: "I'm thinking about the Meng family...that...how about we go into the house and set up a barrier, who knows that the Meng family can Can't be trusted."

Sijun pondered for a moment, but didn't say much, and followed what Lu Xiang said, entering the house and setting up a barrier.

The two sat down at the table, Lu Xiang said: "I observed carefully just now, and I think the two brothers of the Meng family should have a good relationship. Meng Xi'an respects his elder brother very much, and the other disciples of the Meng family also seem to be very open-minded. .Maybe...they really didn't do anything bad, maybe it was really the previous Patriarch who did something, and they didn't even know about it."

Sijun nodded, and said: "Don't worry, after reading the letter in a few days, we may know the truth, if not, we will investigate slowly. In short, solve the matter of the river demon first, and the Meng family will be better. Cooperate."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "That river monster... sounds very powerful. No one has completely strangled it for 100 years. I..."

Lu Xiang wanted to say that he was worried about Sijun, but he didn't say it in the end.Recently, I have a ghost in my heart. If I say anything casually, I am afraid that Sijun will guess his thoughts and swallow the words when they reach my lips.

It's just that he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes, looking at Sijun, he frowned involuntarily.

"Nothing." Sijun was still very calm, paused, and then said, "It doesn't matter how powerful the river monster is, there is still a spiritual weapon made by Ji Nanhong in the Xuankong Temple. Besides, Meng Xi'an is pretty good , should be of great help."

Lu Xiang asked a little sourly: "Is he really good? How good is it?"

Sijun thought for a while and said, "He seems to have been seriously underestimated. Of course, it's also possible that he didn't want to show off too much, embarrassing Meng Chengyan. But in my opinion, he is better than Ming Zhao and Ran Lingxiao. and."

"That...that's really..." Lu Xiang murmured, feeling ugly and jealous again, and couldn't help thinking that such a person is suitable to stand beside Sijun.Unlike myself, Sijun has to be distracted to protect him every time he is in danger, and he can't even fly, so he has to hug Sijun.

The more Lu Xiang thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and his whole face collapsed.

Sijun was silent for a moment, then said again: "What's the matter? You've been acting strange recently."

Lu Xiang's heart tightened, and he quickly raised his head and smirked: "Why? I've been normal recently... I'm just a little tired from the journey... How about...you go to your room, I want to rest... "

After finishing speaking, there was another silence. Now that Xingyuan is not smoothing things over for them, there are many embarrassing situations between these two.Lu Xiang was so restless that he didn't dare to look at Sijun's face for a long time.After a while, Sijun left a sentence of "have a good rest" and quickly walked out of the room.

Sijun walked into the courtyard, stopped again, and looked back, only to see the people in the room frantically lighting up a few more lamps.

Sijun frowned slightly, but still didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the opposite room.

That night, neither of them slept well.

Day two.

Early in the morning, Meng Chengyan arranged for his disciples to bring breakfast to the courtyard, and not long after, he and Meng Xi'an went to greet him in person, and soon packed up and set off.

In addition to the two Meng brothers, Meng Chengyan also brought a dozen or so disciples to follow.Although there are many disciples of the Meng family, there are only a dozen or so who are capable of parrying the river monster.A group of people rode horses and headed for Wanyang River at a leisurely pace.

On the way, Sijun and Meng Xi'an started discussing about the river monster again, and then they talked about some characters they had fought against. The more they talked, the more energetic they seemed, as if they wanted to get off their horses for a fight at any time .

Lu Xiang kept peeking at the two sourly, while spurning his ugliness, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his unlucky crush.

Just like this, I walked for half a day with self-pity and self-pity. After noon, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. The group of people had already walked into the wilderness. It was almost dark.

Lu Xiang said strangely: "What's going on? It's too dark today, is it going to rain heavily?"

Meng Chengyan replied: "No. We are already approaching the territory of the river demon. It's all caused by it. It will be darker when we reach the river bend."

Lu Xiang looked a little embarrassed, and then asked: "This river monster... seems really powerful, what does it look like?"

Sijun looked sideways at Lu Xiang and said, "Didn't we talk about it yesterday?"

Lu Xiang was taken aback.

At that time, I was so jealous, how could I hear what they said?
