Hongye Town is thirty miles south of Jianye City, and it only takes an hour to get there with all your strength.
This town is not large in area, similar to Tuji Town near Chunqiu Guan, but it is much more prosperous than Tuji Town. As its name suggests, this town is covered with maple leaves inside and outside the town. It is late autumn at this moment, and the maple leaves are everywhere. Red as flame, extremely beautiful.
A large river flows past the town. This river is called Lishui River, which leads directly to the East China Sea. It is an important water transportation channel for building Ye City. A large number of ships pass by here every day, creating the red leaves. The prosperity of the town.
However, when Shen Luo arrived, the whole town was not very lively. The streets in the town were very deserted. Although the shops on both sides were open, there were not many customers. The shop owners also looked very thoughtful. look.
The whole town felt heavy, and even some wild cats and dogs on the street were frightened and ran past in a hurry.
Shen Luo did not stop on the street. After asking someone for a while, he went straight to a courtyard at the east end of the town and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
"Aren't you at home?" He frowned slightly and continued to knock on the door.
"Who is it? There has been a lot of trouble outside, aren't you troubled enough?" An irritated voice came from inside the house, the door opened with a bang, and an old man with gray hair was angry. After walking out, he was startled when he saw Shen Luo outside.
"Who are you?" The old man looked at Shen Luo and asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, are you the mayor of the town? Here is Shen Luo, the guest of the Bai family in Jianye City, who has taken over your mission." Shen Luo took out his identity token and waved it in front of the old man. I was secretly happy.
Looking at this situation, he is the first person to arrive in Hongye Town. If he can find out the reason for the haunting before others arrive, he can be the first to rush over and kill the ghost. So as not to attract attention.
"Ah, is this the guest of the Bai family? You are finally here! My surname is Sun. You can just call me Suntou. Master Shen Xian, hurry up and invite me!" The old man said in surprise, facing Shen Luoxing. A gift.
"You're welcome, Mr. Sun, Mr. Shen is here to find out the whole story about the haunting..." Shen Luo said.
"Hey, it's rare that someone arrived earlier than us." At this moment, a voice came over.
There was a sound of footsteps, and three men in green robes walked over from a distance with three swaying steps, looking quite proud.
Shen Luo turned around and glanced at the three of them, especially lingering on the cyan tokens hanging around their waists.
The green wood mark on the cyan token is the mark of the Lin family.
"Hey, it's the guest of the Bai family, what a strange face!" The leader of the three men in green robes was a short, skinny and ugly man. He looked at Shen Luo and said in surprise.
One of the other two is short and fat, the other is hunchbacked. The three of them have similar faces and are all extremely ugly. They seem to be from the same mother.
"The Bai family is Shenluo." Shenluo nodded slightly.
"Shen Luo? I seem to have heard of this name, ah! I remembered it. Recently I heard that a country boy came to the Bai family. Through his relationship with Bai Xiaotian, the eldest son of the Bai family, he became the guest minister of the Bai family. That person is you." The skinny and ugly man said with disdain.
"Tsk, tsk, the guy at the bottom dares to take on such a task. Is he tired of living? Haha!" The short, fat and ugly man glanced sideways at Shen Luo and laughed wantonly.
Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and felt quite uncomfortable.
A group of guests from the Bai family had belittled him many times before. Although he didn't take it to heart, he still felt a little resentful. But here he was ridiculed again. He really thought he was incapable of getting angry. Not a Bodhisattva?
"Boy, we Ouyang Sanjie have taken over this Hongye Town mission. If you want to save a dog's life, get out of here." The skinny and ugly man waved his hand and scolded.
"My elder brother told you to get out of here. Are you deaf or dumb?" Seeing that Shen Luo was motionless, the ugly man with a hunchback raised his hand and slapped her down with a fierce look.
A green light shot out of his hand and instantly condensed into the shadow of a tiger claw. In a flash, it arrived in front of Shen Luo. At an alarming speed, it fiercely grabbed Shen Luo's cheek.
But before the claw shadow fell, Shen Luo's figure swayed from side to side, white light flashed above his feet, and the person turned into four or five afterimages and disappeared out of thin air. In a flash, he rushed towards the ugly man. In front of three people.
The three of them did not expect that the Shen Sheng Technique would be so fast, and they were surprised. However, they were not ordinary people, and their bodies immediately lit up with green light, forming a faint green tiger shadow.
But before the tiger shadow could completely appear, Shen Luo's sleeves flashed with lightning, and three white lightnings shot out from them, hitting the three of them with lightning speed, and the dazzling white lightning flashed. put.
The protective tiger shadows of the three ugly men let out a mournful cry, as if they had encountered a nemesis, and collapsed under the dazzling electric light.
Not only that, the remaining white arcs spread across their bodies, causing the three people's movements to freeze.
Shen Luo's right palm followed the thunder and suddenly became almost twice as thick. It drew a semicircle in the air, and the fierce palm wind enveloped the three of them, and struck out hard.
Bang bang bang!
The bodies of the three people were like fallen leaves in the strong wind, and they were knocked upside down and fell heavily to the ground.
"You..." The skinny and ugly man turned over and tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his bones had been shattered.
The other two people looked the same, with a hint of panic flashing in their eyes as they looked at Shen Luo.
The expression on Shen Luo's face did not change, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
In the past month, while practicing the nameless technique, he has also been practicing the slanting moon step. With the experience in the dream, he has reached the state of small success. Today's small test, it is really useful.
In terms of cultivation level, none of the three people in front of him is below him, but their speed is far behind him.Combined with the small thunder talisman, the effect is indeed quite good.
This was his first mission, and he was a little worried because he had too little actual combat experience. Now that he was testing the waters with these three guests from the Lin family, it gave him a little more confidence.
"Chief Sun, do you know where that ghost is causing trouble now?" Shen Luo clapped his hands, ignored the three ugly men, turned around and walked back to the somewhat dull old Sun Tou, and asked road.
"Ah, yes, yes! The ghost haunts the Bailudang area outside the town. It cannot come out during the day, but it will wander around on the river at night and attack passing ships. It has already injured many people. There are few people. Now no one dares to go into the water at night, and the business during the day has been greatly affected." Old Suntou then came back to his senses and said anxiously.
"It will only appear at night... Don't worry, Mr. Sun, our Bai family will handle this matter properly." Shen Luo frowned, then said with a smile.
"Then please leave it to Master Shen Xian." Lao Suntou glanced at the three Lin family guests who had just climbed up in the distance, and said enthusiastically to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo immediately asked where Bailudang was, and left without staying any longer.
"Brother, should we follow?" the hunchbacked ugly man asked in a deep voice.
"This kid is a bit evil! I heard that his cultivation level is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, so why is his movement so fast?" The short, fat man said with a grin as he touched his sore back.
"Hmph! The three of us were not careful this time and fell into this kid's path. Let's go and follow him! You'll be smarter for a while." The skinny and ugly man snorted and said.
