,
As long as Lu Ning is not around.
Ruan Changqing ignored everything.
He was extremely arrogant in the Lu Mansion, especially when Lu Xiu came back, he pinched Lu Xiu's nose and shouted
After he shouted for unity, he looked at Lu Xiu who looked calm and shouted: "I said so much, you didn't listen, did you?"
"Go quickly and get the money, fifty taels of silver... no, at least one hundred taels."
Full of confidence.
Lu Qing snorted coldly: "Brother, don't give it to him. Who are these people? Do they owe him anything?"
Ruan Changqing was very unhappy when he heard this. He pointed at Lu Qing's nose and said: "I am talking to your elder brother, how can you, a little girl, interrupt?"
"Besides, when eldest brother you married Ruan Shuting, how much gift did you give him? Do you think he owed it?"
Lu Qing curled his lips: "You are a bastard, right!? Why didn't your Ruan family want you in the first place? Now you've come to the Lu Mansion to act like a rogue. Do you believe I can report you to the official?"
Ruan Changqing was a little scared when he heard the news. After all, he had just come out of the dark cell and he didn't want to go back in even if he was beaten to death.
Ruan Changqing suddenly glared: "Lu Changwen, listen to this, does this sound like what a family is talking about?"
"If you report it to the official at every turn, who are you trying to scare?"
"I can tell you that Ruan Ping is working as an errand in the Qin Mansion."
"Do you know where the Qin Mansion is? The residence of Mr. Qin Ge, the chief minister of the dynasty..."
Just as he was talking, Ruan Changqing couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine and looked back.
He saw a young man wearing a majestic official robe standing behind him, staring at him with bright black eyes.
For a moment, Ruan Changqing was so frightened that his body trembled: "Are you a ghost?"
Lu Ning said coldly: "Do you still want to go to the dark prison?"
Ruan Changqing turned pale, shook his head repeatedly, and spoke softly: "No, Chang'an, I'm here today just to say goodbye to your sister-in-law, and I'm going back to Ruanhe Village."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
"Oh! Shuting, your uncle and aunt are always talking about you at home, always saying why Ting girl doesn't come back to see you?" Ruan Changqing sighed deeply and said with emotion.
Ruan Shuting, who was standing in front of the main hall, holding her daughter, felt uncomfortable when she heard this.
When I think of my uncles and aunts, I also think of my own parents.
"Changwen, I'm going to see off cousin Changqing."
Ruan Shuting pulled her daughter to Lu Xiu, handed her daughter to him, and walked towards Ruan Changqing.
Ruan Changqing saw that Ruan Shuting had not taken anything. His face did not change, but he was extremely anxious: If you want to give it to me, don't forget the one hundred taels of silver!
Lu Ning frowned: "Aren't you going to leave? My sister-in-law has already walked to the gate, why are you still stunned?"
"I, I...!"
Ruan Changqing looked at Lu Ning fearfully and opened his mouth without saying anything.
"My one hundred taels of silver, right?" Lu Ning's lips curled up coldly.
"Uh uh... no." Ruan Changqing shook his head hurriedly.
"Kong Rong, go get some steamed buns and give him a bag of noodles."
"I, I... no need!"
When Ruan Changqing heard this, he gritted his teeth secretly in anger, turned around and walked towards the outside of Lu Mansion.
When Lu Qing saw it, he burst into laughter.
Only Lu Xiu didn't laugh. He pulled his daughter, stared at Ruan Changqing's slightly hunched back, and sighed softly.
Ruan Changqing was born in a rural area and had little knowledge or experience. He was better off when he was young, but now that he is older, he has become more and more greedy.
Maybe Ruan Changqing is not the only one who is changing, but everyone is changing.
For example, his second brother, who was a junior jailer in the Heavenly Prison half a year ago, is now the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department half a year later.
He himself was also highly regarded by the dean.
My younger sister also became a disciple of a famous teacher.
The direction of change in the heart is different, and the words and deeds of people are different.
Outside Lu Mansion.
Ruan Shuting gave Ruan Changqing ten taels of silver. Ruan Changqing grabbed it in his hand, glared at Ruan Shuting angrily, and walked away.
Looking at Ruan Changqing's retreating figure, Ruan Shuting said nothing and silently turned around and walked into the house.
Seeing the three brothers and sisters chatting in the main hall, Ruan Shuting personally took Qiulan and others to the kitchen to cook.
"Dean Su has been doing well lately, but he keeps asking you when are you going to the academy for tea?"
"Second brother, my master is the Soldier Saint. He is very powerful. He can move mountains and seas with just a wave of his hand. Tsk tsk, you have no idea... My master said that I can be as powerful as him in the future."
Listening to the elder brother and younger sister talking, Lu Ning kept smiling and nodding.
"Brother, I'm going to travel far tomorrow, so let's move my birthday to tonight." Lu Ning said with a smile.
"You're traveling far, second brother, where are you going?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Yongzhou, Sangzhou and other places, the task of suppressing the Demon Division." Lu Ning said.
"Those two places have been very chaotic recently." Lu Xiu frowned.
"I'm the deputy director, nothing will happen." Lu Ning smiled.
Night falls.
In the main hall, Lu Ning's family gathered around a large round table to have a reunion dinner.
But just after eating half of it, Kong Rong hurried in.
Whisper in Lu Ning's ear: "Young master, Ruan Changqing, is dead!"
"What?"
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, and Lu Xiu and others all looked up at him.
"Second brother, what's going on?" Lu Qing asked curiously,
Lu Ning looked at his sister-in-law with a serious look on his face and said, "Ruan Changqing, he's dead!"
"ah!?"
Ruan Shuting stood up in surprise.
Lu Xiu and Lu Qing also looked surprised. Wasn't the person half an hour ago still fine?
Lu Ning stood up with a serious face and followed Kong Rong as he walked: "Where is he?"
Lu Xiu and Ruan Shuting also quickly followed.
I just heard Kong Rong say: "At the corner of Jingyang Street, someone has reported it to the police, and there are also demon suppressors investigating."
Lu Ning and others hurried to the south end of Jingyang Street. At the corner, they saw a group of people surrounding them.
"Give way!"
Lu Ning said, and everyone moved out of the way.
The officers, policemen, and demon-suppressing officers standing in the crowd saw that it was the deputy director of demon-suppressing, and they all saluted: "See you, sir."
Lu Ning waved his hand and led Lu Xiu and the others to the side of the deceased.
The lantern flames shone brightly, and the dead man lying on the ground was none other than Ruan Changqing, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Ruan Changqing was lying on his stomach, with a silver ingot pressed on his chest, his eyes wide with fear.
"Cousin!"
After Ruan Shuting saw it clearly, she cried out in pain.
Lu Ning frowned and ordered a demon-suppressor: "Go to the Qin Mansion and find a man named Ruan Ping and bring him over."
"It's my lord."
A demon-suppressor responded and walked away.
Lu Ning knelt down, touched the bloody hole on Ruan Changqing's back, and then turned Ruan Changqing's body over. There was blood on the chest and robe.
Lu Ning made a gesture and saw that the blood hole on Ruan Changqing's chest was as thick as an adult's arm.
A blow to the heart is fatal.
Activating his Qi-gazing eyes, Lu Ning discovered that the aura left on Ruan Changqing's chest was not a human aura, but a black demonic aura.
Demon's claws?
Lu Ning frowned. When Ruan Changqing left, it was still dark. It only took a moment to walk from Lu Mansion to the corner of the street.
It was not dark at that time, so someone should have seen the murderer.
He immediately looked at the other two demon suppressors beside him and said, "Has anyone seen the murderer?"
"Sir, yes!"
A demon-suppressor nodded and waved to a witness.
The witness was a middle-aged man, wearing medium-grade fabrics, and his family should be relatively well-to-do.
"Did you see the murderer?"
"Returning to your Excellency, the common people saw a figure from behind. He was wearing a black cloak with a hood covering his head. Judging from his body shape, he should be a man. He bumped into this man and he fell to the ground and died.
.”
The middle-aged man said submissively in front of Lu Ning: "I was scared at the time and didn't dare to say anything. When I saw the man in black walking as fast as the wind and disappearing in the blink of an eye, I hurried to report it to the official."
Lu Ning frowned slightly, was the man in black also possessed by a demon?
Randomly killing people, or did you kill someone intentionally when you saw Ruan Changqing leaving his house?
Before, his attention was focused on Ruan Changqing, but he didn't notice any suspicious looks outside the Lu Mansion.
If it was intentional murder, then someone would have been watching him from the moment he entered the Lu Mansion.
After Lu Ning waved to the witnesses, he squatted down again and checked the breath left on Ruan Changqing's body.
Just listen to the Chilong demon soul in your arms say: "This is the breath of the river monster. I guessed it right, it should be a crab spirit that has become a spirit through Taoism."
Lu Ning remained calm, but was surprised in her heart.
A crab spirit is so courageous that he dares to go to the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty, or to kill people in the inner city?
The point is to keep an eye on the people who come out of his house, with the intention of targeting him.
"Dad, dad...!"
Just then, a loud cry came.
I saw Ruan Ping wearing a dark blue servant uniform, pushing through the crowd and rushing towards Ruan Changqing.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who harmed you..."
Ruan Ping hugged Ruan Changqing and shook him.
Ruan Shuting went to comfort him, but was pushed away by Ruan Ping: "Go away, go away! Wuwu...!"
"It's all you who killed my father!"
Lu Ning glanced at Ruan Ping with a frown, seeing that Ruan Changqing was dead and the latter lost control of his emotions, so he would not care about Ruan Ping.
He immediately grabbed Ruan Changqing's chest, and the remaining traces of dark demonic energy on his chest were caught in his palm.
The expressions of the demon suppressor, the policeman and others changed slightly: "This, is this demonic energy?"
Ruan Ping had never seen such a scene before, and he stared at the demonic aura in Lu Ning's hand.
Lu Ning stared at the demonic aura in his palm with a frown, and whispered: "Judging from the demonic aura, the lowest level is a third-grade demon king."
He immediately looked at the demon-suppressing man and said, "Watch the scene."
Before the Demon Suppressor could reply, Lu Ning disappeared like a gust of wind.
Lu Xiu, Ruan Shuting, Lu Qing and others' eyes widened instantly.
Ruan Ping's eyes widened and he said: "Monster, demon...!"
The demon-suppressing man glanced at Ruan Ping: "What kind of monster? Mr. Lu is a strong martial artist. His movement speed is too fast, and ordinary people's eyes can't keep up, and they don't have any knowledge."
Ruan Ping hugged his father and remained silent.
The Demon-Suppressing Division.
Gu Fengtang was about to leave his shift when a figure suddenly appeared in the Hall of Justice, blowing candlelight swaying.
"Chang'an?"
Gu Fengtang was slightly stunned.
Lu Ning said quickly: "Sir, activate the city defense formation and capture the demon king!"
Gu Fengtang raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Lu Ning calmed down and told the story about Ruan Changqing being killed by the Crab Demon King on Jingyang Street in the inner city.
Hearing this, Gu Fengtang frowned slightly: "River Crab Demon King? How did it come to Beijing and Zhou Dynasty?"
Lu Ning was slightly stunned and said: "Sir, do you know the River Crab Demon King?"
Gu Fengtang frowned and said: "The River Crab Demon King is a river crab in the lower reaches of the Tianhe River, passing through Yangui Lake in Qingzhou. He has practiced Taoism for thousands of years. That river crab lives at the bottom of Yangui Lake, in his cave."
"I rarely come out on weekdays, and even if I do, it won't hurt anyone."
"So, the Demon Suppressing Division only made an agreement with him and did not suppress him."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly: "Is this okay?"
Gu Fengtang nodded: "Strictly speaking, within the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, demons have not bewitched or harmed humans, and the Demon Suppression Division will not suppress them."
"After all, we have to give them a living space."
"The River Crab Demon King is like this. He even helped the local government solve a case. I have been in contact with him and he is not a vicious-hearted demon."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "It may not be him, but the one who killed people was a demon, and it was a river crab demon. Sir, you see!"
With that said, he took out the sealed demonic aura and showed it to Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang felt it carefully and said: "It's not the aura of the River Crab Demon King. However, it is indeed a River Crab Spirit."
After the voice fell, Gu Fengtang turned around and walked into the inner hall, entered the underground secret room, and opened a thick stone door, which was a large underground stone room.
In the middle of the stone chamber, there is a formation platform.
Gu Fengtang held an object with a triangular shape at both ends and a round handle-like object in the middle. At first glance, it looked like a three-sided vajra.
Go to the formation platform and insert the object into the hole depicting the formation round platform.
Wow!
In an instant, a dazzling light lit up from the formation platform, then rushed out of the hollow dome, and the light instantly illuminated the night sky.
Then, a mask of light that could not be seen by ordinary people's naked eyes quickly expanded, covering the inner and outer cities of Beijing and Zhouzhou in the blink of an eye.
in this way.
If the River Crab Spirit has not left Jingzhou City, he can only go through the eight main entrances.
Lu Ning looked slightly stunned. It wasn't until Gu Fengtang turned around that he said, "Sir, what kind of formation is this?"
Gu Fengtang said: "The city protection formation is the ten-direction killing formation in the "Great Divine Conferment Technique"."
"What I just took was the formation eye. The formation eye was inserted into the hole, and the formation began to operate."
"When the formation is in operation, it not only has a strong defensive effect on the imperial city, but also if anyone wants to break through the formation and escape, they will be killed in the formation."
Lu Ning was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Sir, can't you escape even if you are a grade one?"
Gu Fengtang shook his head: "Don't talk about the first level, even if you are above the first level, you can't break the formation and escape."
"Hiss!"
Lu Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air. This ten-directional killing formation was really powerful!
I saw Gu Fengtang shaking his head and sighing: "It's a pity that the inheritance of the Ten Directions Ultimate Killing Formation has been discontinued, and now this Ten Directions Ultimate Killing Formation can only be used every time."
Lu Ning's expression condensed and she said, "Sir, how many more times can I use it?"
Gu Fengtang took a deep breath and said: "It can still be used seven times. If you weren't here tonight, I would never activate this ten-direction killing formation."
"Seven times?"
Lu Ning murmured, it must be used with caution.
Immediately he and Gu Fengtang came to open the stone chamber and returned to the main hall.
Lu Ning did not hesitate, left the Hall of Justice and returned to Beizhengsi, and asked people to immediately notify Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, Sheng Xuan, Sui Yun and others to quickly dispatch to guard the eight city gates.
Here, Gu Fengtang also informed Zuo Hongchen and Zhang Chong to assist Lu Ning in guarding the eight city gates.
Three thousand demon-suppressing men were dispatched to begin a blanket search for the river crab spirit.
Unless the river crab spirit has fled Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Ning appeared on Jingtai Street, and County Lord Liu of Antaifang also arrived and was investigating the situation.
"No need to check, it's a river crab spirit. This matter will be handled by the Demon Suppression Division. County Master Liu asked people to carry Ruan Changqing's body to the Yamen first, and let him do an autopsy first."
When County Chief Liu saw that it was Lu Ning, he couldn't help but nodded respectfully and asked the officials to carry out Ruan Changqing's body.
Lu Ning asked his eldest brother, Lu Xiu, and the others to go back to the house. Lan Yunhui was guarding the house, and the river crab spirit would be able to deal with it for a while even if it appeared in the Lu house.
Ruan Shuting went to pull Ruan Ping away, but Ruan Ping refused to go. She said with great courage: "Your Lu Mansion, I, Ruan Ping, will never go there again."
With that said, he was about to leave with County Lord Liu.
Lu Ning said coldly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Qin Mansion, you are not allowed to go back, otherwise your life will come to an end soon."
Hearing this, Ruan Ping turned around and stared at Lu Ning coldly.
He remained silent and followed County Lord Liu away.
Lu Ning ignored it and asked the three elder brothers to go back to the house. He would personally find out the river crab essence.
After leaving Lu Mansion, he took out the sealed demonic energy from his arms and began to search the inner city.
After a while, the curfew began.
The streets were cleared of pedestrians.
Only the demon suppressors and government agents were searching house to house.
Even the official residences were not spared and all were searched.
Although many officials felt unhappy, after all, a demon king appeared in the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou to kill people. It would be really scary if he hid in the mansion.
Lu Ning's consciousness spread out and directly enveloped the entire inner city.
All kinds of noises are introduced into the spiritual consciousness, causing chaos. The sounds are immediately blocked and the demonic energy is felt.
Until late at night, we searched everything from the inner city to the outer city, southeast, northwest, and a radius of 100 miles.
Lu Ning personally went to the eight city gates to inquire. There was no response from the demonic stones at the door, indicating that no demons were coming or going.
"Have you already escaped from Jingzhou City?"
Lu Ning frowned slightly. After all, nearly half an hour passed between the time Ruan Changqing died and when he received the news.
For a demon king, half an hour is enough to escape from Jingzhou City.
The next day.
The city defense formation was still open, and the Demon Suppressor Division dispatched another three thousand Demon Suppressors to conduct a carpet search.
The governor of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty also mobilized 3,000 police officers, which were not even enough to reach the towns outside Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
No one has ever seen any river crab essence.
Three days later.
March 30th.
The Empress sent an accurate message to Gu Fengtang, the Demon Suppressor: the River Crab Spirit had long since left Beijing and Zhou City.
When Gu Fengtang got the news, he sent someone to tell Lu Ning.
The news from the Empress will definitely be correct.
When Lu Ning got the news, a coldness flashed in his eyes.
After three days of searching, no demonic energy was found. It seemed that just as he imagined, the river crab spirit left the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou after killing Ruan Changqing.
I wonder who found the river crab essence. Did you want to give him a warning?
Lu Ning went to find Gu Fengtang to remove the Shifang Killing Formation.
If the city defense array is open for one more day, more energy will be consumed.
"Sir, my subordinate is planning to go on a long journey. I hope you will take care of Bei Zhengsi," Lu Ning said.
"Go without worry." Gu Fengtang nodded.
Lu Ning turned around and left, returned to Beizhengsi, and put on the black and red robe that his sister-in-law made for him last year.
As for the fire-patterned unicorn suit, it was also wrapped and taken with him.
"It would be great if there was a bag to store things!" Lu Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the world of Xianwu demons, aren’t there any utensils such as Qiankun bags and storage rings?
Walking out of the inner hall, Lu Ning found that Gu Wushuang and the other two people had put on different clothes, and saw that they were only holding a winter thunder knife in their hands.
"Where's your baggage?"
The three of them patted a small dark gold bag on their waists and looked at Lu Ning in astonishment: "Sir, don't you have a Qiankun bag?"
Lu Ning: "...Should I have one?"
Damn you, why do you all have Qiankun bags?
Why don’t I have one?
Pei Tianbei said: "Sir, more than a thousand households in the Demon Suppression Division have Qiankun bags!"
Lu Ning glared at Gu Wushuang angrily: "Why haven't I heard you say that?"
Gu Wushuang curled his lips: "My subordinates thought that adults are omnipotent, so they didn't say anything."
You bastard!
Lu Ning glared at Gu Wushuang: "Why don't you go and get one for me."
"It's my lord!"
Gu Wushuang turned around and left quickly.
After a pot of tea, Gu Wushuang came back with a jade belt in his hand and handed it to Lu Ning with envy and hatred.
Lu Ning blinked: "This is also a storage item."
Gu Wushuang curled his lips and said, "Sir, this Jade Dragon Universe Belt was given by Emperor Xingwu to the previous generation, Lord Sizheng. Lord Sizheng asked me to give it to you."
At the end of the sentence, he whispered:
"Master Si Zheng, I'm so kind to you!"
Pei Tianbei, Sheng Xuan, Sui Yun and others also looked at Lu Ning with envy.
Lu Ning took the Jade Dragon Universe Belt, untied the leather jade belt around his waist, looked at Gu Wushuang and said, "How do you use this thing?"
Gu Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, you can try it with some blood."
"Recognize the Lord by shedding blood?"
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows, this officer knew.
Immediately, he held the Qiankun Belt in one hand and forced out the blood essence from the tip of his finger, which dripped onto the Jade Dragon Qiankun Belt.
Buzz!
The blood containing golden light dripped on the jade belt, and the light suddenly became bright.
Immediately after the sound of "Ang", a dragon-shaped air flow rolled out on the jade belt, circled around the jade belt and disappeared into the jade belt.
Everyone looked at Lu Ning with great envy. The Jade Dragon Universe Belt was the best storage item in the Demon Suppression Division. It not only had a large space, but also had a strong defensive effect.
It has always been a standard item for Mr. Si Zheng.
It can be seen that Master Si Zheng is determined to cultivate Lu Ning as the successor of the Demon Suppression Division.
Lu Ning's consciousness fell on the jade belt. There were fifteen pieces of dragon jade in total, the middle was the largest, and there were seven small pieces of dragon jade on both sides, forming the entire belt.
The largest dragon jade has thirty-two cubic meters of storage space, and the small dragon jade has sixteen cubic meters of storage space.
After some investigation, Lu Ning's consciousness moved and he took control of the baggage and entered it into the jade belt.
A magical scene appears.
I saw an object larger than the jade belt. It suddenly became smaller when it rushed in front of the jade belt, and then was sucked away by the jade belt and disappeared before my eyes.
Seeing that it was quite fun, Lu Ning tried it several times in front of everyone until he became proficient in it, and then tied the Jade Dragon Universe Belt around his waist.
"Set off!"
After walking out of the hall, Lu Ning was about to get on his horse.
Wu Kuishan, who was heading to Beimang, was riding back on a fast horse. When he saw Lu Ning and others were about to leave in plain clothes, Wu Kuishan got off his horse and saluted Lu Ning.
Lu Ning approached him and said, "What did Prince Beimang say?"
Wu Kuishan lowered his voice and said: "Sir, Prince Beimang asked his subordinates to reply to you in five words: I will live up to my trust."
Lu Ning nodded, got on his horse and said, "I've been running around a lot recently. I'll allow you to rest for two days. You'll be on duty in two days. If you have a mission, Lord Si Zheng will give you instructions."
"Thank you, sir."
Wu Kuishan responded respectfully and watched Lu Ning lead Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei and Sheng Xuan away.
…
He galloped out of the Demon Suppression Division.
Lu Ning looked back at Gu Wushuang and said, "Where is the Heavenly Master's Way?"
Without waiting for Gu Wushuang's reply, Pei Tian cried out sadly: "Brother Lu, I know that Tianshi Dao is located in the Longdao Mountain at the junction of southeast Yunzhou and Qingzhou."
"Isn't it the opposite direction to Yongzhou and Sangzhou?" Lu Ning frowned.
Yongzhou is in the southwest and Sangzhou is in the due west.
But Yunzhou was in the center of the Zhou Dynasty, while Qingzhou was to the southeast.
Gu Wushuang raised his long eyebrows and said slowly: "Sir, feel free to go, my subordinate has prepared a map."
Lu Ning nodded: "My wife is still attentive!"
Two people: "...!?"
Gu Wushuang "...!!"
The four of them immediately ran out of the south gate of the city and along the official road towards Hongjia Town.
Go to Maicheng, Hongni Village and Zhuxian City.
The horse galloped wildly and arrived at Zhuxian City in two days and one night.
"In Zhuxian City, rest for three hours." Lu Ning said with a frown.
Of course the three of them had no objection.
He rode into the city and looked for a restaurant.
After a long journey, the four of them washed up first, then ordered some food and drinks, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The ugly moment was over, and the four of them set off on their way.
Cross the Tianhe Ferry and rush all the way to Wolong City.
Continue along the official road, heading south to Yeju, and heading southeast to Gyeongju.
On the official road, there are road signs engraved on the stone tablets standing at the intersection.
Lu Ning and the four of them took one look at each other and headed southeast.
April 3rd.
Experience: 174.63 million points.
It is still 130 million short of the target of 300 million.
According to the current rate of 5.56 million experience points per day, it will take more than twenty days to accumulate enough experience.
By then, it will be almost May.
Because the time it took to kill a three-headed demon snake and reach the second level of cultivation was much faster than Lu Ning imagined.
At noon that day, four people came to Longji Town.
Longji Town is not far from Longdao Mountain, and it only takes half an hour to ride a fast horse.
The four of them, Lu Ning and others, were not in a hurry. They looked for a jelly stall in Longji Town and drank two large bowls of mung bean jelly each.
"Brother Lu, the weather is muggy and it looks like it's going to rain!"
"There's definitely going to be a storm tonight."
"Yes, we still have to rush to Longdao Mountain early."
Pei Tianbei, Gu Wushuang, and Sheng Xuan each said a word.
Only Lu Ning was sitting there, counting the pieces of silver in his hands.
After a while, he took out a bunch of copper coins and threw them to the jelly boss.
The boss smiled and found him a handful of copper coins, and asked with a smile:
"Four guests, are you going to the Tianshi Dao in Longdao Mountain?"
Lu Ning and the others looked up at the boss. Lu Ning said, "That's right. What does the store have to say?"
The boss looked around, bent over and said to the four of them: "Longdao Mountain is haunted. It's very fierce. It's an evil spirit. I advise the four guests not to go up there."
Hearing this, Lu Ning and the others were stunned: "When did it happen?"
The boss calculated the date and said, "It's almost ten days."
Gu Wushuang frowned: "Although the Celestial Master Dao is not as good as the five major immortal sects, its Taoism is also extremely superb. It is good at Yin and Yang Bagua, Five Thunder Zhengfa, and ghost catching techniques. A mere evil ghost can be difficult for the old Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Dao.
?”
The boss smiled bitterly and said: "Girl, don't you believe it? After the accident, the government personally sent people to check, and no one came back alive."
"Three days ago, some of the surrounding Jianghu sects went to Longdao Mountain to check on the government's call. So far, no one has come out alive."
"Do you think that evil ghost is powerful?"
Gu Wushuang blinked: Do I look like a girl? Why do you call me girl when you open your mouth?
Pei Tianbei and Sheng Xuan also stared at Gu Wushuang in surprise, girl?
This one with thin skin, tender flesh, and fair skin does look a bit like a girl!
Gu Wushuang cleared his throat and asked, "No one comes back alive, so how do you know there are evil spirits on the mountain?"
The boss said: "Girl, the Taoists of Tianshi Tao are the ones who catch ghosts. If the little ghosts catch too many, the ghost king will come to your door."
Four people: "...!"
Gu Wushuang stood up and said, "I want to see who is more powerful, the Ghost King or the sword in my hand."
As she said that, she glanced at the store owner and said, "I am the young master!"
boss:"……?!"
He seems to be the girl’s son-in-law!
Lu Ning stood up and said, "Seller, have any evil spirits come down from the mountain?"
The boss said: "I heard that the villagers along both sides of the Longjiang River were captured by evil spirits."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, immediately untied the horse's reins, got on his horse, and headed towards Longdao Mountain.
Gu Wushuang and the other three quickly followed.
As soon as they left, the boss shook his head secretly: "Four young people, at first glance, they have no experience in the world of martial arts. They know that there are ghosts in the mountains, but they choose to go to the ghost mountains. What a shame!"
"Shopkeeper, bring me a big bowl of jelly!"
A young man with a stubble on his face but not very old put his sword on the table, stepped on the bench and shouted.
"coming!"
The boss responded and soon brought a large bowl of prepared mung bean jelly.
"Sir, please use it slowly."
"Store."
The young swordsman shouted after holding the chopsticks.
The boss quickly turned around and asked with a smile: "Sir, what are your orders?"
The young swordsman said while eating: "Who are those four people just now?"
The boss was stunned: "Sir, I didn't ask in detail!"
"Are you going to Longdao Mountain?"
"Yes."
The young swordsman waved his hands and continued eating jelly.
…
"This is Longjiang."
The four of them, Lu Ning and others, reined in their horses and stood on the big stone bridge, looking at the rolling river water under the stone bridge.
Then he looked far away and looked at some village households on both sides of the Longjiang River.
Village households live relatively scatteredly.
Divine consciousness swept across and soon enveloped a farmer's household.
The door of the farmer's house was closed, and a native dog was lying at the door of the main hall.
On the bed in the room, a young brother and sister were hiding under the quilt, sleeping soundly next to each other.
No adults were seen.
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank, and his consciousness enveloped the next farmer.
The door of this farmer's house was open, and there was no one there. The chickens, ducks and geese were wandering around in the yard hungry.
Then he scanned several farmers' households in succession, some with people in them and some without people.
In one family, an old lady took care of a young man with a dark complexion, calling her grandson.
Judging from the young man's dark complexion, he looked like he had been poisoned.
Lu Ning quickly withdrew his consciousness and looked at Longdao Mountain shrouded in black clouds: "Let's go and take a look at the mountain first."
After saying that, he rode across the river.
"The sky is high and the sky is high, and we are home all over the world. One sword can cut off the ends of the earth. People in the world don't know how good I am with my sword. Uh-huh~~~"
Not long after the four people left, the young man with a stubble on his face came over with a long sword on his back and hummed a song. Maybe he didn't realize how unpleasant his singing was.
At that moment, the river paused.
The young man stopped for a while on the stone bridge and slowly walked towards Longdao Mountain.
"The world doesn't know how good I am with my sword. I can cut off the ends of the earth with one strike of my sword. I am home all over the world. I can see the rise and fall of people's heads, ahhhh~~~"
…
At the foot of Longdao Mountain.
Four horses came on horseback, it was Lu Ning and the others.
I saw clouds and mist rolling over the mountain, including black clouds and thick white clouds, so I couldn't see clearly what was going on on the mountain.
Look at the many horses tied around, they should be the horses left by the official officials who came to Longdao Mountain before, as well as the horses from people in the world.
The fact that the horses are still there means that the people investigating on the mountain have not come down yet.
Seeing this, Lu Ning and the others dismounted, tied their horses to a tree, and walked along the mountain road with their winter thunder knives.
Just after climbing 300 meters, a ten-meter-long giant centipede emerged from the road and roared ferociously at the four people.
Lu Ning frowned, and saw Pei Tianbei shout loudly, the winter thunder knife in his hand was unsheathed, the sharp sword flashed past, and slashed at the big centipede, sparks erupting.
What a strong defense!
The giant centipede roared ferociously and pounced towards Lu Ning and the others.
Sheng Xuan's cold eyebrows flashed, and the Winter Thunder Sword was unsheathed, slashing open the sky and the earth with one strike. The giant centipede that rushed forward was instantly chopped into two pieces.
Poof!
The disgusting man's blood spattered out. After the severed centipede fell to the ground, it struggled on the ground for a moment before turning into two thick black mist and disappearing.
The four of them looked at each other solemnly and continued to move forward.
It was obviously still noon and sweltering, but it was cold and cold on the mountain road of Longdao Mountain.
It has nothing to do with the cold air, it's just cold, like walking in a cold tomb.
"Really the King of Ghosts?"
Lu Ning activated his Qi-gazing eyes and stared at the aura flowing on the mountain road. There was indeed a sinister and ghostly aura.
