After drinking that bowl of forgetful medicine soup, Shen Gong once again became a disciple of the Qingling Sect in his consciousness. Dressed in a bamboo vest and a half-cut grass skirt, he rode a boat down the Takijiang River in a majestic and high-spirited manner......

When he was about to cross the strict monitoring area of Lingyun Terrace, the few people who accompanied him halfway withdrew, and now only Shen Gong was left alone on the boat to continue walking. The boat was moving fast in the middle of the Takijiang River, and Shen Gong, who was sitting on the side of the boat, had nothing to do for a while, so he just stared at the turbulent water beside the boat.

Suddenly, he noticed an empty scabbard floating on the water...... After taking a closer look, Shen Gong also found that what was engraved on the scabbard was some strange and unrecognizable characters! Driven by curiosity, Shen Gong couldn't help but stretch out his arm and grabbed the empty scabbard with one hand.

Seeing this, the captain who was holding the boat unconsciously stretched his neck, wanting to see the new thing. Who knew that when he looked at it, he immediately said "huh", and then kept silent knowingly.

Shen Gong knew that the captain must have seen something strange, but since he was immediately pretending to be deaf and dumb, it was no longer appropriate to force him to say something. Because people in all walks of life who walk on the rivers and lakes actually have their own things that must be taboo - they can't find the root of those things, which is also part of the rules of the rivers and lakes.

In fact, what Shen Gong didn't know was that the seemingly simple captain on the boat actually had a hidden identity: the river patrol ghost of the Grimace Division. The empty scabbard that seemed to float down the river just now was a means of throwing stones and asking for directions by the Grimace Division, called "drifting the sheath to ask for directions".

Anyone with a grimace would recognize such an empty scabbard at a glance, and would not be curious at all—let alone bothered to bother with it. On the contrary, a person who behaves like Shen Gong is obviously not "his own person".

This grimace is a dark organization evolved from the original number one killer gang in the rivers and lakes, "Kill No Forgiveness", and every aspect of its actions and actions is actually soaked in many tricks of the underworld. Just after entering the jurisdiction of the Grimace Division, they had easily learned Shen Gong's approximate identity with a little skill!

A young disciple of Qingling Sect actually stayed away from Qingcheng Mountain and came to the "most storyful" mountainous area in the south of the Yangtze River - Mangcang Mountain. Such an unusual thing certainly first attracted the attention of the patrol ghosts of the Grimace Division.

Soon, this news was recently transmitted to the Shipai Village Post Station at the northern foot of Mangcang Mountain. Just yesterday, this small post station had just moved into the small official passing by, Hu Sandao, the "Hu Judge" of the Grimace Division.

Because the Grimace Division took refuge in the North Pavilion, all the minions of that group were transformed into "court officials" with a little face. Therefore, Hu Sandao, the "Judge Hu" who passed through here, also enjoyed the right to live in the official post station.

This Hu Sandao was originally an old man who had become a fine man, and he was very good at controlling and winning people's hearts, so as soon as he settled in the remote Shipai Village Station, there was immediately a ghost-faced little ghost who heard the news and came to serve. Even the news that an uninvited guest had broken into Mangcang Mountain was sent to Hu Sandao as soon as possible.

The trouble that Shen Gong made in Jiaxing City a few days ago not only alarmed Hu Sandao, but also made Qiu Di and others in the Northern Underworld Pavilion suspicious. Qiu Di, who is good at association, immediately had a thought: Could it be that this group of people who are doing things is related to the previous Ni family extermination case?

So, Qiu Di immediately ordered Hu Sandao to quickly take the most powerful measures to find out what kind of people are those who make "ghost stories" out of the city? I didn't expect Grimace to pretend to be a ghost on weekdays, but in the end, he couldn't help those haunting nasty ghosts - this is really a great irony!

Since Shangfeng issued a strict order, Hu Sandao, who was helpless, had to bite the bullet and lead a group of subordinates to pretend to "pull" to the Shipai Village Post Station. So, this Hu Sandao, who has become a master, will he do his best to investigate the case? About this, it should be only the ghosts who know.

……

So, why did Shen Gong, who was alone, go to Mangcang Mountain, where strange things have been frequent recently? Of course, it is for his sweetheart, Ni Ying.

More than a month ago, on his way south to his post, Shen Yixi also made a special detour to Jiaxing City to visit his cousin Ni Liang. As the intimate confidant of his father-in-law, Shen Gong also came to the Ni family in Jiaxing together.

Shen Gong looks like a talent, and he talks elegantly, which makes the young lady Ni family who is just starting to fall in love quite favorable. Ni Ying, the young lady of the Ni family, belongs to the kind of sweet girl who is loved by everyone, with a gentle temperament and ice and snow intelligence, and the handsome and dashing Shen Gong is simply a pair of beautiful people made in heaven.

In this way, when both parties are good looking and are in the prime of flowers, Shen Gong and Ni Ying fell in love with each other and fell in love at first sight. Seeing that a pair of good sons and daughters are about to achieve a good marriage, the elders of both sides are also happy to see it come to fruition, and they are very willing to promote good things for them.

However, unfortunately, a letter of arrival with a deadline sent in the early morning of the next day made Shen Yixi have to set off for the south in a hurry, and the originally agreed date of engagement had to be postponed. From this point of view, although Shen Gong and Ni Ying are affectionate, they cannot be regarded as having a marriage contract.

This time, when he was shocked to hear that there had been a major change in the Ni family, Shen Gong suddenly felt anxious. On the way to Jiaxing on the orders of his father, Shen Gong had already made a decision: this trip must find Ni Ying's whereabouts, whether she is alive or dead.

After saying goodbye to Bi Yunkai, Shen Gong spent an ingot of gold and took out a crucial news from Lao Bu Shen's mouth: Ni Ying is still alive! This good news suddenly made Shen Gong smile from ear to ear, the question is: Where is she now?

Regarding this issue, even if Shen Gong stuffed ten more ingots of gold, it would be useless - because Lao Bu Shen couldn't help at all. The little bit of useful information he could provide, that is, after hearing about the Ni family's disaster, the Ghost Face Division then pressed his heavy troops towards Mangcang Mountain - in other words, Mangcang Mountain has now become a ghost domain ghost city!

Mangcang Mountain? When Shen Gong heard this, his heart couldn't help but ache - in an instant, he suddenly returned to the year he was ten years old......

After leaving Lingyuntai, Shen Gong was still dressed as a disciple of the Qingling Sect, Shi Shiran took a boat down the river and arrived at the dock of Qingfeng Town in a few days. After going ashore, Shen Gong went straight to Wenda Hostel and asked for an upper room on the second floor facing the river.

Shen Gong took out three soul-awakening incense sticks from a soft leather case he carried with him, and then burned incense and prayed facing the west. After a while, after the incense burning and prayer ceremony, Shen Gong sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed......

After a while, his thoughts had gradually drifted to a place where his soul was haunting - the Qinglong Yuan under a thousand cliffs!
