Luojiawan in the upper reaches of the Kowloon River.

This place is about 40 kilometers away from the city, and there are few people in the past, and the cruise ship tragedy that occurred 20 years ago makes this place even more ominous, so compared with the middle and lower reaches of the Jiulong River near the sea, the ecological environment here is more good.

Zhang Jiao walked on the old embankment by the river, overgrown with weeds under his feet, mixed with dotted wildflowers, and the sound of insects and frogs was endless.

It's just that every time he walks by, there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants on the grass and muddy ground at his feet, and they escape one after another, as if they have encountered some natural enemy.

He didn't care much about it, looking at the Jiulong River, the blood in his eyes was filled with twelve big characters representing the image of the twelve earthly branches, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

The handwriting in his eyes kept changing, and he looked at the scenery of the lake, corresponding to the direction in front of him, and kept searching for the possible reality of the ghost city of Xudu.

After Lin Baiying learned that the ghost town of Xudu might be here, Zhang Jiao immediately rushed over, and he has been looking for it on the edge of Luojiawan for the past few days.

It's just that the river is vast, and relying on other manpower to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so he can only use the ability of the pen fairy to help the person to divination, and speculate on the location where Xudu may appear according to the terrain.

The river is wide and sparkling, and a large number of water birds float on the surface of the water, and from time to time they bow their heads, pick up a tail of silver scales from the river, raise their heads and swallow them, and let out bursts of excited chirps.

Zhang Jiao cruised up along the riverside, the river was mighty in his eyes, and for a while, the knot in his chest seemed to be much lighter, and his lifeless face was a little more angry.

The sun is blazing and the sun is scorching.

The riverside is slowly getting a little hotter and hotter, coupled with the lush weeds on both sides, the humidity is very heavy, and the heat is steaming, and it is even more sultry.

Zhang Jiao didn't seem to know, and the whole person seemed to be unaffected, walking along the river embankment mechanically, and he heard the roar of the motorcycle mixed with bursts of low cursing from afar.

He looked up and saw two motorcycles slowly riding along the dirt road in front of the embankment.

On each of the two motorcycles were men in their thirties, all of whom were round-faced, slightly fat, and amiable. It's just that they don't look very good now, not to mention the stumps covered in a lot of mud and weeds, and their faces are red and swollen and look like they have been beaten up.

"Damn, why don't these turtle grandchildren fucking die, a group of turtle grandchildren, all the fuck

The goods that should go out and were hit by a car and died. The man who rode first scolded all the way, cursing frantically, obviously angry.

"Okay, Lao Xu, don't be angry, it's unlucky that you didn't see the yellow calendar when you go out today, don't invite that group of guys, this wilderness, no one knows if we really sink the river, just be punched twice by a drunkard, it doesn't matter." ”

The other man on the side kept persuading, and during this time, he cautiously turned his head back to look twice, for fear that there would be someone behind him.

"Am I angry that I was beaten up? I'm angry that I broke my pole, these plagued boys, you just chase people, what are you doing with breaking my pole? Do you know how much my pole costs?"

In order to save this money, I haven't played cards or gambled on horses for more than two years, and I am calculating and calculating at home every day, and I am afraid that the place where the money is hidden will be discovered by my mother-in-law, do you say I am easy?"

"And my nesting materials, I finally got the recipe from Aban, I prepared it for almost a week, and I just played it today before I threw it ......."

The man in front vented his grievances, and his bruised face revealed a look of despair that he had no love.

It's just that when they saw Zhang Jiao coming not far away, they all immediately closed their mouths, slammed the accelerator in their hands, and drove quickly past him far away.

Zhang Jiao glanced at the fishing rods and fishing supplies placed on the two fishing guys' cars, and continued to walk forward, not paying any attention to the strange boys that they might have in front of them.

Now he only has in mind to find the location of the ghost city of Xudu, and complete task one first

The idea.

Zhang Jiao felt that he was really about to be unable to hold on, if it weren't for the thoughts in his heart that he might solve his own problems after completing the task, he would have given up a long time ago.

In the past five or six days, he didn't even dare to squint for a while, for fear that it would not be him who would wake up again as soon as he closed his eyes.

So, don't say that there is an ancient boy in front of you, that is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and you have to go through it yourself.

The sun shines on the surface of the river, and from time to time a few fish jump out of the water, and the scales on their bodies reflect layers of light like mirrors.

It's a great place to fish.

Zhang Jiao seemed to walk slowly and quickly by the river, the blood-colored characters representing the elephant of the twelve earthly branches in his left eye kept changing, and his right eye was closed, not allowing the pen fairy to take the opportunity to wantonly cause chaos to himself.

After traveling more than ten miles, an off-road vehicle and three small breads appeared in front of him, not far ahead, twenty or so fierce and vicious, fleshy strong men centered on the two people who were by the river, scattered far away, while whispering and laughing while wandering casually, from time to time picking up a thin stone from the side of the road and drifting to the river.

"Batmaster, that's what you said was a good place. The big man who was surrounded by the crowd looked at the lake, looked at his freshly shaved head, and asked with some puzzlement.

He looked around the place, but he didn't see anything special about it.

The bat master laughed twice like a crow, stretched out his skinny fingers from under the black robe, pointed at the green skin and pointed at the river and asked, "Master Ding, do you know what happened in this place?"

Without waiting for Qingpi to speak, he asked himself and replied, "This is the place where the Jianglun had a ship accident twenty years ago, and more than 400 people fed the fish and shrimp here, otherwise the fish here would not have grown so big." ”

"Don't you feel a little colder standing here than any other place?"

The bat master's tone was calm, and even with the green skin, he felt that the place was much colder.

He instinctively touched the two big exposed flower arms, feeling a little cold, "Then what kind of good place is this, Bat Master, what do you mean by this?"

Between speaking, there was already some displeasure in Qingpi's tone, and there was already a bit of fierceness in the eyes of the guy who was still wearing a black robe in the big summer in front of him.

Master Bat smiled, didn't care about the threat in his tone, and explained directly, "Didn't Master Ding ask me to help you find a good place for Lao Dou? This is the best place for you, the old man may suffer a little after he dies, but you will ascend to the sky in one step, and glorify your ancestors!"

Hearing this, Qingpi suddenly felt a little interested, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"

The batmaster smiled smugly, touched the goatee on his chin, and explained.

"This place is indeed a dead place and a Jedi for ordinary people, but for Ding Ye, you are different, you are a fisherman, you are a gangster, the more fierce this place is, the better it is for you. ”

"You were born on the fifth day of the first month, the eight characters and four pillars have lost neutralization, the five elements of the Japanese lord are too prosperous, and you are born with a strong natal life. is the saying that life is hard, so you have died with a big brother in the past ten years, but you can often escape from death, but you have become a big man sitting in the hall. ”

Hearing this, Qingpi's oily face was full of joy, he habitually touched his head, and snorted smugly, "That is, our Lao Chen is hard-working, back then, he dared to cut with a person on the street of Dexing Society, and if he tried it else, he would have been cut into mud a long time ago." ”

The bat master didn't interject, and after he finished boasting, Fang continued, "

But your life can only be like this, the big guy in the south corner is afraid that it is your limit, and it is impossible to go further, but if you do what I say, seal the old man's coffin and sink it at the bottom of the river, I will make a formation again, turn the evil into auspicious help you change your fortune, maybe you have no chance to sit on the leading position of the Donghongmen. ”

Qingpi's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, and the breath on the tip of his nose was a little thicker, and he said with red eyes, "Really, bury my old bean at the bottom of this river, and I can be the head of the dragon?"

The bat master nodded silently and whispered, "It's just that if Ling Zun is buried at the bottom of the river, he may not live in peace after death." ”

Hearing this, a hint of fierceness flashed in Qingpi's eyes, and a fierce smile appeared on the horizontal flesh on his face.

"My old bean has eaten and drunk mine over the years, so let him help my son once, and he is willing to come to his old man's house. ”

As he spoke, he thought about it, and simply pulled out the oxygen tube when he went back, so that he could save hundreds of treatment fees every day, and let him make some contributions to his son as soon as possible.

Now that he had made up his mind, Qingpi immediately said to the bat master next to him, "Then please ask the bat master to help me take a good look." ”

The bat master hurriedly answered, but at this moment, the little brothers who were far away found Zhang Jiao who walked straight over, and someone immediately walked over with a scolding.

"Well, get away, don't you see anyone here. ”

Zhang Jiao walked over directly, and several younger brothers greeted him horizontally. "Are you blind or deaf, didn't you hear what Lao Tzu said?"

As he spoke, the little brother at the head was about to give him a slap.

It's just that before he could make a move, Zhang Jiao had already turned his head to stare at him, and in the left eye he opened, the handwriting of the blood-colored representative of the earth branch was constantly changing, and finally condensed together, and the direction pointed to the river in front of him.

"You've discovered the location of the ghost town, and you've completed your mission. ”

Zhang Jiao listened to the voice in his ears, a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and walked straight to the river.

Behind him, the four old boys who had just come over suddenly froze in place, wisps of gray-white breath quietly penetrated from their mouths and noses, and in an instant, their eyes rolled up, their pupils contracted and only the whites of their eyes remained, and then followed closely behind Zhang Jiao, and walked forward mechanically.
