Yang Li's senses for Wang Xiaochuan are really very poor, and even thinks that Wang Xiaochuan is a poor person must have something hateful, just now, Yang Li almost pulled out a knife to cut this Wang Xiaochuan.

First of all.

As soon as Yang Li arrived in Lotus Village, this Wang Xiaochuan jumped out to block the road, because the reason for blocking the road was excusable, so Yang Li didn't treat him well.

But.

This Wang Xiaochuan suddenly jumped out, knelt in front of him, and begged him to take him as an apprentice, saying that he wanted revenge, which made Yang Li feel ridiculous.

Why should I take you as an apprentice?

Why?!

Is it just that you have to kowtow a few times on the ground?

Or.

Want me to sympathize with what you're going through?

Or more.

Just a few words from you?

It's ridiculous.

It's naïve.

Too self-righteous.

And also.

This Wang Xiaochuan may have seen that Yang Li did not have any cruel actions, or he was lucky in his own heart, and after being silently rejected by Yang Li, not only did he not give up, but also chased after him.

At last.

He knelt in front of Yang Li under the gaze of many villagers, kowtowed to Yang Li, and begged Yang Li to accept him as an apprentice, saying that if he didn't agree, he couldn't afford to kneel.

This has a sense of coercion against Yang Li.

Then again.

If Yang Li really agreed to Wang Xiaochuan, after these villagers saw it, they would also come to kneel and kowtow to apprentice, would Yang Li also accept it?

So.

Wang Xiaochuan is not a good thing.

Soon.

The villagers dispersed.

Yang Li and the others returned to the house, and this matter passed like this.

The next time passed quickly, Yang Li and the others closed their eyes in the house of the village chief of Ma Liang, waiting for the arrival of late night time, and sometimes discussed the next plan.

The screen turns.

Breeze City.

To the east of the Nangong family's mansion, there is a magnificent courtyard, which is Nangong Qingyun's residence, and the lights in the house reflect the figures of the two.

"Gong ...... Childe ......"

Hong Qishan knelt on the ground on his knees, prostrate on the ground like a dog, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Little ...... The small ones have to be entrusted ......"

"What's going on?"

Nangong Qingyun flipped through a book under the candlelight, as if his attention was on the content of the book, and he seemed careless about Hong Qishan's words.

"That Yang Li's strength is not condensation and condensation, but the unity of condensation, the subordinates sent three subordinates, who must have died in the hands of Yang Li, and the little ones have not even been able to find their bodies."

Hong Qishan said: "Moreover, Yang Li is also extremely cunning, he didn't leave afterwards, and he was ambushed at the scene of the incident to wait for the rabbit, and when his subordinates rushed over, he took the opportunity to sneak attack his subordinates." ”

"My subordinates are invincible, so I can only flee."

"Unity of Mind!"

Nangong Qingyun put down the book in his hand, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, "No wonder this son heard that Yang Li had taken over a nightmare government-level task, and he thought he was going to die, but now it seems that this Yang Li has been hiding his true strength." ”

"Ben Gongzi underestimated him a little."

"That'...... Then we plan to ......"

Hong Qishan asked in a low voice.

Apparently.

Hong Qishan is the black-clothed cloak mysterious man who fought with Yang Li before, and the black-bearded middle-aged man is Hong Qishan's subordinate, the four-bag elder of the beggar gang.

From the beginning.

It is this Nangong Qingyun who is laying out.

"What's the hurry?"

Nangong Qingyun said lightly: "Your three subordinates don't know that you are behind this son, even if they are forced by Yang Li to ask something, it will only expose you at most." ”

"Don't worry."

Nangong Qingyun said: "Everything is under the control of this son. ”

"You go back first."

Nangong Qingyun waved his hand, "You used the forbidden technique, it will take a long time to return to normal, in the next few days, you can rest well." ”

"Yes."

Hong Qishan nodded respectfully, and then left quickly.

"What a Yang Li."

Nangong Qingyun lowered his head and pondered, "This son really underestimated you, but I didn't expect that you have already stepped into the unity of condensation, and you still have hidden strength." ”

"The plan is going to change."

"Of course."

"This has to wait until Yang Li can come back alive, although the status of the Demon Killer Guard is very high, and no one can shake the Demon Killer Division, but the mortality rate of the Demon Killer Guard is the largest."

The reason is simple.

The Demon Killer Guard takes on tasks, completes tasks, deals with all kinds of demons and evils, and often encounters various dangers, and the natural mortality rate is extremely high.

In addition, the Demon Killer Guard has the same hatred for the enemy, and the Demon Killer Division is domineering.

So.

The major forces did not dare to provoke the Demon Guard.

Late at night.

It's almost twelve o'clock.

"It's almost time."

Wan Baihu got up, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at the sky outside the window, it was already late at night, and the starlight was not bright, and even looked a little dim.

"Hmm."

Fang Ru also quickly stood up.

"Let's go."

Yuan Ning said.

"Okay."

Yang Li nodded.

Four people set off.

Left the residence of the village chief Ma Liang.

"Four...... Four adults...... you...... You have to be careful! ”

Ma Liang said.

"Hmm."

Yuan Ning glanced back, and ordered in a solemn tone: "You all stay in the village, and no matter what happens, don't leave the village." ”

"I ...... We got ......"

Ma Liang replied.

Surrounding.

The villagers all closed the door, looking out through the crack in the door, looking nervous and apprehensive, and curious in their hearts, but they did not dare to make any noise.

"In the past few days, something like this has happened, I don't dare to go to the Lotus River to fish anymore, I used to be able to sell a few dollars by fishing, or fill my stomach, but now it is even worse, alas, ......"

"I believe that this time, a few Demon Slayer Guards will definitely be able to solve the matter of the Lotus River for us and return our lives to the past."

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

"I don't want to be fed and clothed, but at least don't starve to death!"

“……”

The villagers thought to themselves.

Their aspirations are humble.

Soon.

At the entrance of the village.

Yang Li and the others had already walked out of the village, it was dark outside, and only a little starlight was sprinkled down, helping Yang Li and them slightly illuminate the way forward.

Grain

"Focus."

Yuan Ning said in a deep voice.

"Hmm."

Yang Li nodded, after he walked out of the village, he didn't know what the reason was, and a murmuring sound would suddenly sound in his ears, containing a strange power that could affect Yang Li's mind, and even affect Yang Li's mind, producing all kinds of cranky information.

To know.

Yang Li used to be in Jianglin Town, when he went out to do tasks, when he was in the wild, he had never encountered this kind of thing, let alone heard this kind of murmuring.

Other than that.

Why don't you hear this murmuring when you stay in the village, is it because there are many people in the village gathered together?

"The Lotus River is coming soon."

Yuan Ning said in a deep voice: "The stronger our strength is, the easier it is to provoke some strange and treacherous things at night in the wild. ”

"On the contrary, ordinary people, in the wild night, are not easy to provoke strange and treacherous things."

"It may be that the stronger the strength, the more difficult it is to get in touch with the reality of the world."

"I see."

Yang Li had a realization in his heart.

Before.

When Yang Li was in Jianglin Town, his strength was not strong enough, he was only at the refining level, and now, Yang Li had reached the peak of the condensation level.

Therefore.

Yang Li will be more dangerous than before if he is in the wild at night, and if he is unlucky, he will even encounter some weirdness that he is unable to resist.

In this case.

Most of the powerful masters rarely sleep in the wild, and basically return to the village or town before nightfall.

Avoid accidental death.

On the banks of the Lotus River.

Yang Li and his party arrived first, the river surface was sparkling, the water was not turbulent, and if you looked carefully, you could see the fish swimming in the water.

"Huh?"

Wan Baihu looked around, looked up at the position of the moon again, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The time should have come now, why didn't you see a floating ghost on the river?" ”

"yes."

Wei Ru nodded, "It's like there's nothing here, it's like a normal river." ”

"Haven't you two heard a word?"

Yuan Ning said in a deep voice: "Some things are too normal, but they are not normal. ”

Yuan Ning did not approach the Lotus River, but was observing the surroundings. There were a few dilapidated boats on the banks of the river, which were supposed to be the fishing boats of fishermen from nearby villages, and the boats were very clean, and there were no dead small fish and shrimp, and there were no scales or entrails on them.

Apparently.

In today's world, it's good to be able to eat, even if it's small fish and shrimp, or fish offal, it's all edible things that can fill your stomach.

"Look, that's ......"

It didn't take a while.

Wanbai Lake noticed the movement on the surface of the river, and there were waves and ripples on the surface of the river, as if something was about to come out of the bottom of the river.

Whoa......

The sound of the river flowing became a little louder, attracting Yang Li's attention.

They all looked at it.

Really.

On the surface of the river.

Suddenly, one figure after another rose from the river, and his hair was scattered, and his whole body was wet, like a water ghost.

And.

These ghosts are all floating on the surface of the river.

There are quite a few of them.

At least one or two hundred.

"Really."

Wan Baihu's expression froze, and he didn't get closer, but looked at them for a while, "Looking at them like this, they look like water ghosts who have become after being drowned in the river." ”

"That's right."

Wei Ru nodded.

"So, is this a spirit or a water ghost?"

Yang Li asked, "Moreover, we haven't seen any traces of spirits so far, but there are quite a few of these ghosts that resemble water ghosts." ”

"Yang Li."

Yuan Ning said: "Water ghosts are not so easy to produce, and besides, in such a river, after one or two hundred people die, one or two hundred ghosts similar to water ghosts appear, which is simply impossible." ”

"There is a maximum of one water ghost in a river."

"Also, if you take a closer look, is there a fish at the foot of these ghosts? The fish and the ghost are connected to form this ghost floating on the surface of the river. ”

"So."

"This is not a water ghost, but a 'fish ghost'."

"And there's that."

Yuan Ning said in a deep voice: "The water ghost is a very terrifying black grudge, it is an existence that is even more terrifying than the evil spirit, in the realm of the water ghost, the water ghost is almost invincible. ”

"The generation of water ghosts is not so easy, it needs to meet various conditions, it is very difficult, if there are really water ghosts in the Lotus River, all of us will have to die."

"This ......"

Yang Li frowned.

"This situation."

Yuan Ning pondered for a while, "It should be that a spirit called 'River Demon' was born in the Lotus River, this river demon killed a lot of fishermen, and then combined the corpses of fishermen with the fish corpses in the river to create so many 'fish ghosts', 'fish ghosts' are not evil, but a kind of monster created by the river demon." ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Ning looked at it carefully for a while and nodded, "If I didn't guess, this river demon has just become a climate and has created nearly two hundred fish ghosts, if this river demon has created thousands of fish ghosts, I'm afraid we won't be able to help him." ”

"We arrived just in time."

"Okay."

Yuan Ning retracted his gaze, "The situation can be determined, we leave now, return to Lotus Village, and wait until tomorrow morning when we come here again, lure the river demon out, kill it, and our task will be completed." ”

"I'll just say it."

Wan Baihu nodded, "The one in the Lotus River must be a spirit lair." ”

"That's right."

Wei Ru also breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's just a river demon, although it will be dangerous to clean up, it is still within the scope of our strength, and our previous inference is indeed correct." ”

"Hmm."

Yang Li nodded slightly, observed carefully, and stared at those ghosts, these ghosts seemed to be attracted by Yang Li and them, and were floating towards Yang Li.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Ning shouted: "It's not appropriate to fight with these fish ghosts at night, let's withdraw first!" ”

"Good!"

"Understood."

Wan Baihu and Wei Ru said in unison.

Brush! Brush!

Yuan Ning and the others turned around and left, speeding up their pace, Yang Li didn't stay here for long, and quickly left here after Wanbai Lake.

"That's ......"

Yang Li glanced back at the Lotus River, ghosts gathered, shadows were abundant, in the darkness and moonlight, it was like a gloomy ghost domain, which made people shudder.

"Eyes!"

Yang Li's eyes looked at the bottom of the river, and faintly, a pair of blood-colored pupils loomed, cruel and gloomy, murderous and crazy, staring at Yang Li.

In a flash.

Yang Li felt a terrifying invisible force rushing into his mind, as if he wanted to destroy Yang Li's consciousness and soul, at such a time of crisis.

Airplanes!

Yang Li's mind came up with the 'Primal Ring', which contained the mystery of 'nothingness', and the 'Primordial Ring' rotated, blocking this invisible force.

"This ......"

Yang Li quickly came back to his senses and was shocked again, "What is at the bottom of this river?" It's so wrong, is this really just a river demon? ”

Come to think of it.

Yang Li's mood was much more solemn.
