The two went north along the Luoshui River and went to the depths of Wuzhou.

Not long after leaving Wuzhou City, there was a faint sound in the wind, like the sound of the wind, and as if someone was telling something, vaguely accompanied by wisps of piano sound.

Xia Qing came to his senses, walked in front of the old shopkeeper in turn, and walked in the direction from which the voice came.

After climbing a hillside, a swamp appeared in front of me. The swamp is large and covered with maple mangroves, and the sound can be heard from within the woods. The woods are lit up, and you can faintly see the quaint pavilions, which seem to have many palaces inside. Standing on a high place and looking carefully, it seems that there is a group of women singing, dancing gently and gracefully, and someone is playing the piano accompaniment. The fog inside and outside the woods was steaming, and there was water everywhere, and it seemed that only boats could be rowed in. From a distance, it gives people a fairy breath, and it seems to have come to a fairyland.

"Old man, could it be here?"

Xia Qing became excited, and after walking for so long, he finally saw hope. wanted to continue to move forward, but was pulled by the old shopkeeper.

"Qing'er, take a closer look. The old shopkeeper reminded.

Xia Qing looked carefully and found that the inside and outside of the pavilion were not filled with fairy energy, but a poisonous mist rolling up and down, and his heart couldn't help but be stunned. The poisonous mist has eroded inside, indicating that the palace inside has been destroyed, so who will be singing and dancing inside?

"Look with the eyes of heaven. The old shopkeeper reminded again.

Xia Qing opened the Ninefold Demon Pupil, and the scene in front of him changed completely.

The singing is still the same, but the people who are dancing are no longer beautiful and charming girls, but white skeletons. Beneath the wide robes were the bones of Bai Sensen, and even these robes had rotted away, and the pavilions that looked antique were covered with moss and tattered. The singing is ethereal, and the sound of the piano is faint, but the people are no longer the same people as before, all of them are dead.

Xia Qing's eyebrows beat wildly, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The singing voice is more tactful, the sound of the piano is more beautiful, and some people even wave to Xia Qing from afar, as if calling Xia Qing in; Xia Qing's heart is cold, completely devoid of the excitement just now, and his skin is full of goosebumps.

"This is the mangrove forest that was once famous throughout Wuzhou, it is the cultivation cave of poinsettia, and it is also the only shelter within a radius of 100 miles. It's a pity that although Poinsettia is powerful, it was defeated in the end, and the entire cultivation cave was destroyed by the demons, leaving only a ruin. The old shopkeeper sighed, as if remembering some of the past. During the day, it is a barren swamp, but at night it is sometimes lively, and the mangrove forest is restored to its former glory.

"Old man, the poinsettia you said is not dead?" Xia Qing asked.

"Of course it's dead, but it's just a wisp of remnant soul, and I'm not reconciled. Alas, reappearing in the world again and again, repeating the tragedy of the past again and again, why bother? Since he is already dead, it is better to go to the immortal with peace of mind...... , Qing'er, let's go. ”

The old shopkeeper was gone, and sighed faintly, all kinds of allusions seemed to be more familiar than anyone else, but most of them were unbearable.

Xia Qing chased after him in the wind and fog and did not ask any more questions.

The two of them continued on their way, startling a huge toad. This guy has become a sperm, he is a rare lord-level toad, I don't know how the combat effectiveness is, but he looks scary, covered with pustules, and I don't know if he was born like this, or he was eroded like this by the terrible poisonous fog, and he looks like he doesn't have an inch of intact skin all over his body, and he can be as ugly as he wants, and as scary as he wants.

Xia Qing was also scared enough, and pulled this toad to Wuzhou City, which could definitely scare people into crying in broad daylight.

"After nightfall, it is not easy for a demon beast to survive in the wild, even if it is a small toad like this. If you accidentally encounter it, try to detour as much as you can, fighting in the poisonous fog is the stupidest thing, no matter whether you win or lose, there is no winner. Qing'er, remember. The old shopkeeper advised, reminding Xia Qing of some common sense. In the past, Xia Qing was hidden from Xia Qing, but now it is different, Xia Qing has grown up and learned the trick of riding the wind and holding the fog, and he has to learn how to survive in Wuzhou after the darkness falls.

"Good!"

Xia Qing kept it in mind and said, "By the way, old man, aunt and Zhao Dazui are not considered to be Wuzhou Night Wanderers, can they also walk in the poisonous fog?"

"Hehe, what's this...... , it should be regarded as a person, it depends on the individual's ability. Although the fog trick of riding the wind frame is simple, not everyone can understand it. The old shopkeeper smiled and began to speed up, and there seemed to be a lake in the distance.

Xia Qing faintly felt that the old shopkeeper had something to say, but the latter walked away all of a sudden, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly recited the exercises silently and followed. I have to say that the technique of riding the wind frame fog is very wonderful, the thicker and more terrifying the poisonous fog, the faster it flies, it is really like a big fish surfing in the sea, as long as there is strong endurance, it will naturally get faster and faster, so fast that you can hardly stop if you want to.

After a short walk, a huge freshwater lake appeared in front of the two of them, the surface of the lake was sparkling, and the surrounding scenery was very good, but unfortunately, there was nothing Xia Qing was looking for, and there was no trace of the Great Joy Valley. On the contrary, there was a faint call in the darkness, and Xia Qing looked at it, there was a long hair floating on the lake, as if someone had fallen into the water and was calling for help.

"Qing'er, has someone fallen into the water?" asked the old shopkeeper, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, no, not ......"

Xia Qing subconsciously rushed two steps to save people, and then, his heart stopped suddenly. As soon as night fell, the land of Wuzhou became a huge tomb, and those who could survive in the dark night were not ordinary people, how could they fall into the water and wait for someone to save them? This is clearly a trap!

Aunt Yu Qiniang's advice over the years echoed in Xia Qing's mind, and her palms were sweaty, and she almost committed a big taboo.

"Hehe, that's right, walking outside, no matter what situation you encounter, check whether you are safe as soon as possible. There are too many traps of all kinds, and if you are not sane and calm enough, there is always a trap for you. The old shopkeeper reminded and pointed out Xia Qing little by little. These common senses are more important than cultivating powerful exercises, and how many unbeatable masters died of pride and carelessness after entering Wuzhou.

"Help, save my ......"

"Childe, help......"

There was a terrible cry for help from the lake, and what was even more strange was that the voice sounded vaguely familiar, as if it was Shi Xuanxuan or Bai Xiaoyou and others who fell into the water.

Xia Qing knew that it couldn't be Shi Xuanxuan and the white demon, but he still couldn't help but look up and observe, and couldn't help but shudder after seeing it clearly. A long-haired woman crawled out of the water while calling, her body was only half of her body left, walking with her hands like the Wuyang Dao people, her face was covered with blood and most of her face was covered by messy hair, looking indescribably gloomy and terrifying.

"This is the unjust soul detained here, everywhere, it is pitiful to say, most of them were masters of the major sects in Wuzhou during their lifetime, and even fairies in the era of the Immortal Kingdom, but after death, their souls were tainted by demons, and they could never be detached. Qing'er, let's go, try to walk more places before dawn!"

The old shopkeeper's expression did not change, it seemed that he had long been numb, and turned around and left.

Xia Qing stubbornly glanced at the long-haired woman from a distance, followed the footsteps of the old shopkeeper, and behind her, the long-haired woman called out heartbreakingly, shouting 'Childe save me' every time she took a step. Knowing that it was a female ghost, the more she listened to the voice, the more familiar it became, and the poignant and complaining voice made Xia Qing's heart tingle.

Xia Qing hurriedly accelerated, never daring to look back.

"Childe, it's me...... , save me, childe......"

After walking for more than ten miles, the cry for help of the long-haired female ghost still came from afar, echoing in Xia Qing's ears like a dream demon. Suddenly, Xia Qing understood why Ouyang Liuchuan and other night wanderers made people so respectful and afraid, walking in Wuzhou under the cover of night not only required super cultivation, but also strong psychology. The heart is not hard enough, and when you encounter people who are not rational and calm enough, no matter how strong your cultivation is, you will not be able to bear it.

Walking alone in the dark is a grand cultivation in itself!

Xia Qing suddenly realized in his heart, knowing that he still had a long, long way to go on the path of cultivation.
