Lin Xiaodong stood up to return the courtesy and asked Chen Zhenfang: "Did Palace Master Chen come here for matters in the northwest?"
Chen Zhenfang blinked and said, "Yes, something strange happened in the desert of Yonglin County, Bingshan Road."
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and said: "It was late at night a few days ago, and there was a red light covering the night sky in the northwest. It is not a good sign."
Chen Zhenfang said: "The herdsmen in Yonglin County lost many cattle and sheep, leaving many bones in the desert."
"The Taoist priests on Bingshan Road suspected that there was something evil at work, so they went to the desert to check, but they never came back."
"This is strange. It is said that some herdsmen saw a red lake appearing in the desert. The Taoist priest who died was also very powerful."
Lin Xiaodong said: "This matter is dangerous. Please stop sending people to the desert. I will go there myself."
Chen Zhenfang nodded, reached out and grabbed Lin Xiaodong's wrist: "Then you have to be careful."
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "Don't worry, Palace Master Chen."
Chen Zhenfang held Lin Xiaodong's wrist without letting go and looked at him without saying a word.
Lin Xiaodong said: "After this matter is settled, I will come to visit you."
Chen Zhenfang smiled happily and said goodbye.
Lin Xiaodong returned to Ding'an Palace and did not immediately go to the desert to check. Instead, he sat in meditation in the back hall for three days.
Late that night, there was another red light rising from the northwest. Lin Xiaodong opened his eyes in the palace, and his figure flashed and disappeared.
The place where the red light shines is in the desert thirty miles northwest of Yonglin County, Longshanhui Road, Dali State.
Three rays of light fell from the sky and landed on the sand dunes. Three people emerged from them. Two of them were old Taoists and the other was a young female fairy. She was wearing a green skirt, Nana and Tingtingyu.
stand.
The three people looked under the sand dunes and saw that just as Chen Zhenfang said, there was a blood-colored lake. It was the water in the lake that glowed with a terrifying light like blood.
One of the old Taoists couldn't help frowning when he saw it: "How come such a filthy thing is born in our country of Dali?"
Another Taoist covered his mouth and nose and looked sideways: "It is definitely not the right way to be so bloody!"
The female fairy drew out her magic sword and said, "While this thing is still in its infancy, cut it to its roots and catch it all in one fell swoop!"
Just as the three of them were about to take action, they saw a golden light falling, and Lin Xiaodong appeared from it.
"who?"
The three of them each showed their weapons, shouted sharply, and looked at Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong bowed to the three of them: "The Immortals of Guanghan Qiucongling, Lin Xiaodong of Ding'an Palace in Yanxia Mountain."
The old Taoist opposite looked at Lin Xiaodong and asked, "Are you from Guanghanqiu?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded.
Another old Taoist asked rudely: "Since you are from Guanghanqiu, why are you coming to our Yantaichun territory?"
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the lake under the hill: "I came here for this matter."
The old Taoist snorted coldly: "We at Yantaichun can handle this matter ourselves, we don't need you as an outsider to do anything."
Lin Xiaodong nodded again: "Seniors, just do it."
The female immortal bowed to Lin Xiaodong: "Wu Wanqing, Taoist priest of Ningci Cave in Lunan Mountain, Yantai Chun, is a member of the Congling Immortals. How come I haven't heard of him before?"
Lin Xiaodong replied: "Lin has not been in the world for a long time."
The old Taoist curled his lips after hearing this: "You just came to the realm, and you came to Yantaichun to meddle in other people's business?"
Another old Taoist laughed and said: "I didn't understand the rules in the upper world just now. It's understandable."
Wu Wanqing introduced: "These two are fellow Taoists from Baili Mountain Shou Shen Dong Lin, and Huainan Mountain Huntian Cave Jie Muzi, and I are fellow Taoist immortals from Yantaichun Bing Mountain."
Lin Xiaodong saluted: "I have met these two seniors."
Lin Tongren said: "The things in this lake have become a climate. I'm afraid you can't deal with them. Please stand far away later so as not to affect you."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said nothing.
Jie Muzi raised his dust-sweeping sword and took the lead to walk down the hill and to the lake: "Let's see what is causing trouble here."
Lin Xiaodong stood far away on the top of the hill. Wu Wanqing nodded to him and followed him down to the lake.
The smell of blood in the air was getting stronger and sicker, Wu Wanqing turned her head to the side, covered her nose and frowned.
Jiemuzi came to the water's edge, squatted down, stretched out his index finger, dipped it in the water, picked it up and took a sip into his mouth. Suddenly his eyes widened and he spat it out on the ground.
Taoist Lin Tong and Wu Wanqing looked at him: "What?"
Jiemuzi stood up, took three steps back, pointed at the middle of the lake and said, "Blood, it's really blood."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Lin Tong and Wu Wanqing also changed their expressions and stepped back.
Wu Wanqing wondered: "Where did so much blood come from?"
Jiemuzi pursed his lips and stared, shaking his head: "Evil!"
He took off the Lingyun Whip from his waist, swung it high, made two crackling sounds, and whipped it hard into the lake water.
The calm lake surface suddenly became a mess, and the blood rose high and fell again, splashing up pieces of blood mist and emitting a strange red light.
Jie Muzi put away the Lingyun Whip. The whip in his hand was covered with blood.
The three of them waited for a while, and several black spots appeared on the lake.
The fellow Taoists shouted: "Come out!"
With a crash, the lake surface exploded, and five humanoid creatures jumped out. They were all red, tall, with horns on their heads, fangs in their mouths, and only four fingers on their hands and feet, with long claws.
Taoist Lin Tong was furious: "How could such an evil spirit be born in the territory of Dali Kingdom?"
He picked up the Yi Xin Sword and slew towards the opposite side.
The creature in the lake raised its head and roared, jumped ten feet high, and came towards Lin Tongtao to kill them.
Having practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, I have already mastered the Yixin Sword. I ducked and dodged a claw, raised my hand and slashed open the belly of the creature in the lake.
But the creature in the lake just staggered, and the sword wounds on its body glowed red and healed quickly.
Taoist Lin Tong saw it, grinned and gritted his teeth, and then attacked again. With a flash of cold light from the Yixin Sword, he cut off a giant hand of the creature in the lake.
The creature in the lake was in pain, roared angrily, and slapped Lin Tongtao with its other hand.
Lin Tongdao, a short man, walked from the armpit of the creature in the lake to behind it, looked back and cut off the head with a sword.
The headless lake creature was still able to heal its wounds. It stood and struggled for a long time before finally falling to the ground.
Wu Wanqing's beauty turned pale early in the morning and she exclaimed: "What is this?"
Jie Muzi swung his dust-sweeping sword and killed a creature in the lake.
The creature in the lake waved its hand and slapped Jie Muzi on the head.
Jie Muzi tilted his head to avoid the blow. With the wind roaring in his ears, he raised his hand and stabbed the creature in the lake in the chest with his sword.
The heart of the creature in the lake was pierced, so he stretched out his hand to grab the dust-sweeping sword and pulled it out with a pop.
Jiemuzi held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his whole body was lifted up and thrown aside.
The creature in the lake angrily threw the dust-sweeping sword on the ground and rushed towards Jiemuzi.
Jiemuzi rolled around on the ground three times before he stopped. His mouth was full of sand and his body was covered with sand. As soon as he got up, he saw that the creature in the lake had come to him and raised his hand with a claw.
The claws of the creature in the lake are as sharp as daggers. Even gods would not be able to survive if their claws were removed.
