Chunxiang Tavern.

Located in the middle of the bustling city.

It covers an area of more than 300 square meters and has two floors.

The tavern, which was originally a booming business, had an accident with the owner, and the customers thought that it was unlucky, and no one even came to the whole street.

Xu Xian, who had just arrived at the door of the tavern, happened to meet a team of officials coming out of it.

There were six of them, all of them dejected, with solemn faces, and it seemed that they had not received any useful news from the tavern.

Xu Xian didn't want to have anything to do with the official errand, so he waited for them to leave completely before entering the tavern.

As soon as he entered, he sensed that something was wrong.

Inside the tavern, there is a demonic atmosphere!!

Could it be that Li Gongfu's disappearance has something to do with monsters?

Bai Suzhen went to find Li Gongfu, but she didn't know how it was going, and there was no news at all.

"Guest, you ...... Are you here to shoot or stay in the hotel? ”

A young man in his twenties, who was just about to close the door, was a little surprised to see Xu Xian come in.

Dajian, which means eating and drinking.

Staying in a hotel, naturally, is accommodation.

Xu Xian frowned quietly, couldn't help but look this person up and down, and then shook his head and said: "No, Poor Dao is here to collect demons, dare to ask Xiaoyou, who are you the tavern owner?" ”

"It's a big liar in the name of a Taoist priest again, what's the demon in the tavern, get out!! Don't you think our tavern business is cold enough! ”

The young man didn't know where to take out a broom, and beat and scolded Xu Xian, which was very unwelcome.

"This person is tired, save my brother-in-law first."

Xu Xian was driven to the door of the tavern and thought secretly.

Then he found the right direction, jumped forward, looked for the demonic energy in the tavern, and shot away.

The tavern has a demonic aura and disappears in due east.

The brother-in-law also disappeared in the tavern, although he couldn't sense his breath, Xu Xian was sure that nine times out of ten he was captured by this demon.

As for the tavern boy, ordinary people can't see it, he can see it clearly.

This son is entangled with demonic energy, and he is about to enter the demonic energy, either often staying in a place where the demonic energy is extremely heavy, or being with the demon for a long time.

Xu Xian faintly felt that the tavern owner might have been murdered by the boy and the demon.

Li Gongfu took someone to investigate, maybe something went wrong with the investigation, but he was taken away by the demon.

Of course, these are all speculations.

The most important thing at the moment is to rescue Li Gongfu.

Completing the quest and rewarding the ground shrinkage is a legendary long-lost stunt.

Able to shorten a long distance of ground to an inch, and then step out in one step, and go to the other end.

Don't talk about rewards, only talk about family affection, Xu Xian is also obliged.

At night.

Xu Xian shot quickly on the roof, and his toes lightly touched the roof, which was a distance of hundreds of meters, and at one point, it was hundreds of meters.

Not for a while.

He came to the dock in Zhenjiang.

There are many boats parked here, large and small, of all kinds.

Zhenjiang is linked to the sea and is an important hub for maritime transportation.

Xu Xian looked at the calm river, and the demonic aura disappeared here.

It seems that this youkai entered the water.

He hurriedly took out talisman paper, cinnabar, and brush, and quickly drew a water-repellent talisman.

Then he packed up his things on the ground, put the water amulet on his body, and was just about to jump into the water.

Suddenly, a dull, slightly hoarse voice appeared.

"Do you want to go down and take a shower? Several children and adults have drowned here, and it is said that there are water spirits looking for a stand-in below. ”

Xu Xian turned around and saw that it was a thin young man, about twenty years old, with a smell of sea on his body.

"You're the child of a nearby fisherman, what's your name? How old are you and when was you born? Xu Xian asked.

"Li Mingran, nineteen years old, was born when he was a child." Li Mingran said honestly.

"Why don't you come home on a big night? Are you lost? ”

The corners of Xu Xian's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile, as if everything was under control.

"Yes, how do you know? You ask me my name, do you know where my home is? ”

Li Mingran nodded busily and looked at Xu Xian very excitedly.

"I know, your parents should be in a hurry, let's go see them for the last time."

Xu Xian nodded, took out eight pieces of rune paper, and folded them with each other.

Finally, it was folded into the style of Kong Ming lantern, and then his hands were sealed, and the spell was recited in his mouth, and the mana was running, and he suddenly shouted: "Get up!" ”

Impressively.

The Kong Ming lantern emitted a faint glow and began to rise slowly.

At this time, Xu Xian took out a brush and quickly wrote a row of words on Kong Ming lantern.

"Li Mingran, male, from Zhenjiang, nineteen years old, born when he was a child, his soul returned, foreseeing his relatives, guiding the way, ghosts and gods in all directions, and dodging quickly.

After seeing relatives, take the lamp as a letter, the lamp extinguishes the soul and leaves, and the lamp bursts and the soul is scattered. ”

After writing, Li Mingran, who was quite sorry for Xu Xian, said: "Follow the lamp, where the lamp stops, your home is there." ”

"Then I'll go first, you remember not to go into the water, there are really water ghosts in it."

Li Mingran didn't know for what reason, he didn't doubt Xu Xian's words, and after admonishing Xu Xian again, he followed the lamp and left.

There are indeed water ghosts in the water, and Li Mingran has a fishy smell on his body, and he must have been killed by water ghosts.

Before dying, it did not know that it had drowned in the water, so it did not become a stand-in for the water ghost.

Because he died in a daze, he didn't even know how he died, and after his death, he returned to his soul for the first seven years and became a fool.

There are also many nights of confusion and ghosts, not knowing that they are dead, and they can't find a home, they will go around the place of death.

Just like Li Mingran, if it hadn't met Xu Xian, it wouldn't have had the opportunity to see its parents for the last time.

And the Kong Ming lantern just now is one of the Maoshan spells, the soul attraction technique.

Draw souls on the road, lure souls to home, use it.

It only took a minute before and after, and it didn't take a long time.

Xu Xian took a deep breath, jumped forward, and jumped straight into the water.
