Shen Luo left the town and soon came to the bank of Lishui River.
The Lishui River is very open, several miles wide, winding towards the lower reaches. At a glance, the mist is vast and the water is turbulent, like a huge dragon crawling on the ground.
He walked downstream along the surging river for a while, and a patch of reeds appeared in front of him.
The reed marsh is not large, only seven or eight miles long. It is extremely tall and dense, but now it has turned yellow.
The river wind blows, and the reeds roll like water waves, making a loud splashing sound.
At this time, the sun has begun to set, the river has begun to become dim, and there is no boat. It seems that it is really scared by the ghost.
Shen Luo's eyes wandered around, and after a moment of thought, he used the Water-Treading Technique and explored the reed swamp, but found no trace of Yin Qi.
He was unwilling to give in. After putting a ghost-expelling charm on his body, he walked around a few times, but still found nothing.
"It seems that this ghost is quite hidden." Shen Luo thought to himself. After leaving the river, he found a dry place on the bank and sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for nightfall. .
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from a distance. Shen Luo turned his eyes and saw that the three guests from the Lin family had also arrived.
The skinny and ugly man in the lead saw that Shen Luo's face was a bit unnatural, so he did not come up to provoke him. Instead, he led the two people behind him around Shen Luo and explored the reed swamp.
Shen Luo ignored the three of them and just closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, the three of them came back with disappointed expressions. Like Shen Luo, they found a place on the shore to sit down and wait.
As the sun was about to set, another man and a woman came to Bailudang. The man was in his twenties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is twenty-eight years old, wearing a goose-yellow short shirt, with a graceful figure and a delicate appearance.
The two wore a gray-white token around their waists with the word "Du" written on it.
"Three heroes Ouyang! I didn't expect them to come too." The dark-skinned young man saw the three guests from the Lin family from a distance, his face darkened, and he murmured to himself.
"Are they famous?" The girl in yellow shirt blinked and asked.
"The eldest brother Ouyang Tian is at the seventh level of Qi refining, and his two brothers are at the sixth level of Qi refining like you, but these three are practicing the evil tiger technique of the famous black stone mountain cultivator Sha Hu Zhenren. It's a bit tricky to work together," the young man explained softly to the girl.
At this time, Ouyang Sanjie also noticed the man and woman from the Du family.
"It turns out to be Lan Bingshou Qi Yuan of the Du family, so this little girl must be Master Huangshan's disciple Yan Li. It's better to hear once than to see once, what a little beauty. "The skinny and ugly man Ouyang Tian stared at the young woman, and the evil light flashed away.
"No wonder Lan Bingshou, who is in the Bigu stage, is also fascinated by it. The little girl is really good-looking. I feel pity for her!" The short, fat and ugly manSwallowed and spit.
A trace of anger appeared on Yan Li's pretty face. He was about to say something, but Qi Yuan raised his hand to stop him.
"The three of them are considered famous people, so please respect yourself so as not to disgrace the reputation of the Lin family." Qi Yuan's face darkened and he said calmly.
"Lan Bing's words are serious. The relationship between you and Lin and Du is irreversible. What my brother just said as a joke must not be taken seriously!" Ouyang Tianchong raised his hand to Qi Yuan and said haha.
Qi Yuan ignored Ouyang Sanjie and glanced around casually. Only then did he notice the lonely Shen Luo nearby. He glanced at the guest token on his waist and thought to himself: "Young guest from the Bai family, you have a face I've never seen before."
"Brother Qi, according to what Mr. Sun said, ghosts are haunting this area. Should we go and investigate?" Yan Li There was an eagerness to try in his eyes, and he asked softly.
"They arrived before us. They must have explored it. Most likely they couldn't find any trace of the ghost. It would be in vain for us to continue exploring. Let's wait until dark." Qi Yuan explained with a smile, and then took the girl with him Find a place to sit down.
Not long after, two more figures appeared at the mouth of the reed marsh, but they were Baishui Taoist and Wu Tong.
"Three Ouyang heroes! Blue Bingshou Qiyuan!" Taoist Bai Shui saw a trace of solemnity in his eyes when he saw everyone present.
Ouyang Sanjie and Qi Yuan naturally saw Taoist Baishui, but they only glanced at them and obviously did not take them seriously.
Wu Tong touched Taoist Master Baishui with his arm and raised his chin somewhere.
Taoist Baishui looked in the direction pointed by Wu Tong and saw Shen Luo sitting there quietly. He sneered in a low voice: "This ignorant boy came quite early."< /p>
"He really thought that by currying favor with the eldest young master, he would become a figure. Once they start fighting, he would realize how ignorant he is." Wu Tong immediately agreed.
While the two were talking, they found another open space away from the river bank and sat down cross-legged.
"Why don't the two new people from the Bai family sit with the previous people?" Yan Li asked a little strangely.
"The guests of the Bai family have always liked fighting among themselves, so there is nothing strange about it." Qi Yuan smiled and said.
The girl suddenly understood, glanced at the three members of the Bai family with disdain, closed her eyes, and rested.
"Taoist Master, I didn't expect that this mission in Hongye Town would be so popular that it would attract Ouyang Sanjie and Qi Yuan. With the two of us, I'm afraid we can't compete with them." After sitting down, Wu Tong whispered in a voice that could only be heard by two people.
"It's good to have more people. When something happens to Shen Luo, it will be easy to find an excuse." Taoist Baishui said with a low smile.
"What the Taoist Master said is absolutely true!" Wu Tong rubbed his hands and smiled after hearing this.
Shen Luo sat there quietly with his eyes closed, never opening his eyes, seemingly unaware that two more groups of people came around.
After about half an hour, night finally fell.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, covering the crescent moon that had just risen.
The wind on the river gradually became stronger, causing rolling waves. The sound from the reeds also became louder, mixing with the sound of the waves, making it seem a bit noisy.
At this moment, everyone by the river opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the center of the river.
A series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the river water there. Each bubble was filled with black yin energy, and a piece of black yin energy about ten feet in size quickly condensed on the river surface.
A shadow slowly emerges from the black air, but it is the figure of a woman wearing a red robe. Thick black air surrounds her body, and the forest can be clearly felt even from a distance. The evil spirit.
"What a fierce ghost. Looking at this posture, I am afraid it is very close to the inescapable stage! Li'er, prepare the evil-proof beads, pay attention to safety, and take action as soon as I lure this ghost ashore." Qi Yuan Staring at the female ghost in red, she took a slight breath and stood up as soon as she moved.
A blue light flashed on his hand, and an ice-blue flying claw weapon appeared.
Yan Li quickly stood up, chanting a spell in his mouth, and yellow light emitted from his sleeves.
