The cold wind was howling, and a person with the strength of the distraction period felt a little cold at the moment, so Li Xiuping pulled the mink fur on his body and said bitterly: "I didn't expect that it would be such a situation for me to wear such good clothes for the first time." ”

The Qingming monk smiled helplessly and said, "It's good to go south, otherwise I'm afraid it will snow." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, but said: "Actually, it's okay to snow, although it's cold to go north, but it won't hurt the roots, this winter in the south is the most frightening people." ”

The Qingming monk was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I have long forgotten the change of seasons, and I have forgotten the difference between the north and the south, but now I can feel it." ”

After speaking, he directly dispersed the true qi defense around his body, felt the changes in heaven and earth in an ordinary state, and then sighed: "It's really a feeling that I haven't seen for a long time." ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Maybe if you feel it, your predecessors will be able to enter the Tribulation Period." ”

Of course, this is a joke, and the Qingying monk will not take it seriously, but the blue water unicorn took it seriously, and even removed the defense on his body.

The "Fire Spirit Real Man" just listened, but didn't take it to heart.

Originally, Li Xiuping asked him to stay in the Lingxiao Sect, but he said that he wanted to follow Li Xiuping, saying that even if he couldn't help much, he could still do it for him, so Li Xiuping obeyed his will and took him with him.

So this time to the south, in addition to Li Xiuping and the Qingming Layman, it was the blue water unicorn and this "Fire Spirit Real Man".

It had been a while since the three of them left the Lingxiao Sect, but they hadn't gone far.

According to the wine fairy, Li Xiuping has to walk all the way, not only can he not control the sky, but he can't even control the spirit boat, and even rest and sleep, he can only stick to the ground, but it is a cold winter, so at night, it is really not human.

But no matter how painful it is, he can only insist on doing it, after all, it is important to save his life.

Now his strength is no longer one in ten, and what he is most afraid of is to meet the strong of the demon race, and he is even more afraid of encountering the interception and killing of those human monks who practice the secret methods of the demon race, so everyone on this road is not going directly to the south, but to the southwest, just to ensure that they can always walk within the rules of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Qingming monk glanced at the sky, and then said, "It's not early, let's find a place to rest first." ”

The "Fire Spirit True Man" stepped forward and said, "I'll go ahead and explore the way." ”

After saying that, he walked briskly forward.

Li Xiuping said: "Along the way, I'm afraid I will have to work hard for my predecessors. ”

The Qing Ming monk smiled and said: "If it weren't for the matter of the demon race, I would also be running around, I only wanted to find the information of the Soul Melting Pill before, but in fact, I haven't relaxed much in the past thousand years, and now I have this opportunity, so you don't have to be so polite at all." ”

Li Xiuping nodded lightly and said, "I'm used to the high-level cultivation life, and now I'm really not used to returning to ordinary people." ”

As he spoke, he exhaled with his hands in front of his mouth, and then kept rubbing his hands back and forth, obviously really cold.

The Qing Ming monk frowned and asked, "You really don't have any strength at all now?" ”

Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "That's not it, there is still sword intent in the body, and it can also be driven, it's just a little troublesome, but there is no big problem in dealing with some Jindan stage monks." ”

The Qingming Monk nodded and stopped talking.

The two of them and the beast continued to move forward for a while, and the "Fire Spirit True Man" went back and said, "There is a small town five miles ahead, where you can rest, but it seems that something strange has happened in the town, and many cultivators have gathered. ”

The Qingming monk looked at Li Xiuping.

Li Xiuping asked, "What realm are they?" ”

"Fire Spirit Zhenren" replied: "They are all ordinary monks, and the strongest one is in the Jindan stage, of course, there may be stronger ones, but I can't find them in my current realm." ”

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look first." ”

After saying that, he took off the flask around his waist, poured a sip of wine, and then hung the flask back on his waist.

After approaching the town, the Qingming monk investigated and made sure that there was no danger, and then everyone entered the town.

After entering the town, Li Xiuping had a familiar feeling, similar to the situation in Baishi Town, the whole town seemed a little gloomy, obviously the strange thing that the "Fire Spirit Zhenren" said before should be some kind of evil and evil.

You don't have to care about this kind of thing, not to mention that there is a sword cultivator in the merger period among them, and a blue water unicorn in the god transformation stage, what kind of demons and monsters, it is too late to hide when encountered, and besides, Li Xiuping has now obtained almost all the inheritance of the Night Walking Division, and he is the best at dealing with this kind of thing.

Not long after the few people entered the town, a middle-aged man greeted them and asked, "How many of them are also here to exorcise evil spirits?" ”

Neither the Qingying Monk nor the "Fire Spirit True Person" spoke, so the task of answering this question fell to Li Xiuping.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiuping nodded, "Yes." ”

Seeing Li Xiuping answer, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned, because in his opinion, among the four people, this young man with white hair was the most incompetent, and he looked sick, it was difficult to even walk, and he was said to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts.

However, the few people around this young man have extraordinary bearing, especially the old man with the long sword on his back and the old man wearing a Taoist robe.

If it weren't for the existence of these two people, he wouldn't have stepped forward to ask, after all, whether it was Li Xiuping or the blue water unicorn that turned into a human form, it didn't look like an immortal who could catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits.

Li Xiuping followed behind this person and asked casually, "Can you tell us about the situation in this town?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded while leading the way in front: "This is called Lotus Township, it is a necessary place to travel from south to north, and it was originally rich, but half a year ago, it was suddenly haunted, as long as there are outsiders passing by, they will die mysteriously the next day, and gradually, no one comes." ”

Li Xiuping frowned and said, "It's been half a year?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded.

Li Xiuping then asked, "Except for the outsiders, are the people in the town okay?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The people in the town are fine, but this incident has caused panic, and with the matter of the demon clan, many people have been scared away." The people who stayed behind were some old and weak women and children, and my master really couldn't give up this huge family business, so he chose to stay. But Lotus Township originally relied on merchants from the south to the north to make a living, and now no one wants to come, so it is not a way to do it. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man led everyone to a house and said: "This is my master's mansion, there are many mages who came to exorcise evil spirits today, as long as anyone can get rid of that evil spirit, my master will be grateful, even if it is not successful, it will naturally not treat you badly." ”

Li Xiuping asked, "Haven't you invited other mages before?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, obviously a little unspeakable, and said with a smile: "It's not early, you still have to meet my master first, and after dinner, we will discuss." ”

After speaking, he led everyone into the house.

After entering the mansion, Li Xiuping glanced left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Senior, what might you see?" ”

The Qingming monk nodded and said, "The whole town is filled with an aura of resentment, which will not go away for a long time, but I am afraid that it is not an ordinary evil." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, and just at this time, the middle-aged man led everyone to a hall.

In the hall, in addition to a richly dressed middle-aged man, there were several maids, and then there were countless mages who came but were evil, there were Taoists of various schools that could not be traced, and some monks wearing different robes, as well as some loose cultivators, and in the corner, there was actually a polite scholar.

A scholar also came to exorcise ghosts, this is the first time Li Xiuping has seen it, and he can't help but be a little curious, so he looked at the scholar twice, and he didn't see any clues.

As soon as the four of them entered the hall, all eyes were cast, and then all of them frowned.

At this time, four more people came, and four more people divided the reward, and these people were naturally a little dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man who led Li Xiuping and others came saluted the richly dressed man and said, "Master, these are the last mages of the day. ”

The man on the throne nodded and said, "Go down." ”

Then he smiled at Li Xiuping and said, "A few mages, please take a seat, eat first, and then talk in detail after eating." ”

A burly man said at this time: "A tuberculosis ghost can also exorcise ghosts? In recent years, there have been more people swaggering and cheating, and the owner of Yang Zhuang should not deceive others. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Li Xiuping, and the meaning was self-evident.

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Even if you can't exorcise ghosts in Xia, these two seniors around you are both authentic old immortals of Xuanmen, and they are amazing, what demons and monsters will inevitably reveal their original form when they see them, and there is nowhere to hide." ”

Everyone then looked at the Qing Ming Monk and the "Fire Spirit True Person" with a somewhat skeptical attitude.

Li Xiuping continued: "Besides, exorcism and ghost hunting are based on ability, not stronger than anyone. ”

The man suddenly said coldly: "What do you mean, saying that I have no ability?" ”

Li Xiuping smiled and said, "I didn't say that. ”

The man was about to have a seizure, and the lord of Zhao Zhuang hurriedly made a round and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, after dinner, all the mages can show their powers, as long as anyone can catch or get rid of the evil spirit, the good thirty gold is his." Of course, everyone else will be paid as well. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously they had known about the thirty gold bounty for a long time, or they were all coming for the thirty gold bounty, only Li Xiuping frowned slightly.

Thirty gold, this is not a small amount, according to common sense, even if it is really a fierce god and evil spirit, it will not reach this amount, I am afraid that there is some unknown secret.

However, Li Xiuping just wanted to come over for a meal, and he didn't have much interest in rewarding money or anything, and he didn't care about any unknown secrets in it.

At this time, someone sent the wine and food and placed them on the table in turn, although it was not a mountain delicacy, but it could be called a sumptuous meal.

After walking for a day, Li Xiuping was already tired and hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, so he just feasted.

At this time, the burly man said again: "Some people not only have a big mouth, but also eat a lot of food, so they are not here to cheat and eat and drink, right?" ”

Being said, Rao is Li Xiuping is thick-skinned, and he is a little embarrassed at the moment, but fortunately, his face is already pale, but he can't see it.

Before Li Xiuping was full, a female cultivator got up and said: "I'm not here to eat and chat, I'm looking for the owner to tell me the specific situation, I'll wait for the evil spirit, and I have to go back to restore my life." ”

Immediately, someone chimed in: "Fairy Wang is right, I will go down the mountain on the orders of my master this time, but I don't have time to delay my efforts with these rabble." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present were not very good-looking, but the person who spoke either had real skills or had a strong backer behind him, so no one dared to refute it.

The owner of Zhao Zhuang smiled and said: "Immortal Master Wu is a little restless, this evil is not easy to deal with, many mages have been invited before, not only failed to get rid of the evil, but also lost their lives in vain, it is only in the next that this reward was issued, hoping to find more capable people, just to avoid the recurrence of the previous situation." ”

"Capable people? Just these people? ”

The young man snorted coldly, looking at everyone's eyes full of disdain, especially looking at Li Xiupin more often, with a kind of contempt and disgust, a posture of shame and companionship.

At this time, an old man coughed and said: "It's a good thing for young people to have momentum, but if you think very highly of yourself and have empty eyes, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss. ”

Someone immediately chimed in: "It's still reasonable for Senior Chen, some people rely on the glory of their master, and others sell him a little face, and they feel that they are invincible in the world, even if it is that Li Gongzi, I'm afraid he is not so arrogant." ”

Li Xiuping watched and listened while eating, and thought it was quite interesting.

Obviously, these guys basically know each other, and they all have a lot of conflicts between them, as for this time together, some people may be for money, some may be for fame, anyway, no matter what the reason, they don't want to cooperate with others.

The owner of Zhao Zhuang smiled and said: "You are really all temperamental people, and you can also see that you all have real skills, since this is the case, then you will say it directly." ”

Hearing this, everyone quieted down and looked at the owner of Zhao Zhuang.

The owner of Zhao Zhuang continued: "Half a year ago, a group of strangers came here, mutilated a woman, the woman turned into a ghost after death, as long as a foreigner arrived in Lotus Township, within a day, it will die mysteriously, before doing a few rituals, and also invited a lot of mages to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, but they have not been able to subdue the ghost, but many mages have given their lives in vain, many of them are famous figures in the rivers and lakes. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Of course, these should all of you also know, and if you know that you are still coming, you must be sure, just to be on the safe side, I still hope that you can work together, as long as everything else is easy to say except for this powerful ghost." ”

The nun who spoke earlier asked directly, "Where can I find that ghost?" ”

The owner of Zhao Zhuang said bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know this below, but you are all foreigners, I think that terrible ghost should come to look for you, so you only need to go outside for a walk, and you should be able to meet him." ”

The nun nodded and said, "In that case, I'll take the first step." ”

As soon as the words fell, many monks from the same door got up and followed, and walked directly out of the hall.

Some people left first, and the rest of them got up and walked out of the hall one after another, obviously afraid of being preempted.

Li Xiuping was not in a hurry, he was still eating, with Li Xiuping and the others, and the reader in the corner, but at this moment, the scholar also got up and walked out.

It should be that everyone is gone, and Li Xiuping is embarrassed to stay, so he grabbed the two oranges on the table, smiled at the Zhao Zhuang owner, and walked out.

After walking out of the Zhao Mansion, Li Xiuping found that the scholar did not leave, but stood in front of the Zhao Mansion, as if he was deliberately waiting for Li Xiuping and others.

Li Xiuping could see that this scholar did not have any cultivation, and from beginning to end, Li Xiuping could feel a kind of fear in him.

Li Xiuping smiled and asked, "This gentleman is also here to hunt ghosts?" ”

The scholar shook his head and said, "How can I have that ability, it's just that I have a brother who is also a cultivator, and when he came here a month ago, there was no news, so I thought about coming over to see what was going on, and I didn't want him to die like this." ”

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "I see." ”

He then asked, "With us?" ”

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and then saluted: "Then thank you very much." ”

Li Xiuping smiled slightly, stuffed the freshly peeled orange directly into his mouth, and then said vaguely: "This Zhao Zhuang master is not simple." ”

The Qing Ming monk nodded and said, "It should be a ghost cultivator, with the strength of the Yuan Infant Stage." ”

Li Xiuping nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”

The scholar frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "This Zhao Zhuang master raised a ghost, and then the thief shouted to catch the thief, deceived countless monks, and after killing them, he obtained their cultivation, and improved his own cultivation with the secret method of the ghost path, but unfortunately these people rushed over to die, but they didn't even know what the situation was." ”

He looked at the scholar and continued, "Your brother is afraid that he has also become the nourishment of this farmer." ”

"Fire Spirit Zhenren" frowned and said, "Then why don't you just kill him?" ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "If he wants to play, let's play with him." Isn't he going to find someone to catch the ghost, let's arrest him and see what he does when the time comes. ”

Both the "Fire Spirit True Person" and the blue water unicorn were a little puzzled, because in their understanding, this Li Gongzi was not such a person.

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It's boring to be in a hurry all the time, since there is fun to be found, I can't refute the face of this Zhao Zhuang master, and I have only heard of ghost cultivation before, and I have never really seen it, but now I just know about it." ”

"Fire Spirit Zhenren" smiled a little helplessly, this Zhao Zhuang owner was really bad luck, but he met this Li Gongzi, and the other party took the initiative to invite him over.

But when he thought about what happened afterwards, he thought it was quite funny......

Some people died, but not completely......
