Looking at the bronze lamp in front of me, the lamp base is flat, but there are many carved figures on it, all of them prostrate on the ground, as if they are holding some kind of ritual.

The lampstand stretched out a foot high, carved with intricate, mysterious patterns, and at the top was the lampstand, on which a candle that seemed to be bloody, only a third remained.

It looks like an ordinary copper lamp, but no one knows that this is one of the forbidden items in Sanyang County, and it is even difficult to divide it into a grade.

"Zhao Lan's ability is stronger than mine, and it is more valuable for her to survive."

Hua Manlou spoke softly, and as he spoke, he took out a fire fold from his body and lit the candle.

"Poof"

The faint flames flickered, but they didn't give Hua Manlou a sense of warmth, only endless cold, and horror.

He looked at the copper lamp in front of him, stretched out his palm, held the lampstand, and slowly spoke, "I want to let Zhao Lan, the night watchman of Sanyang County, return safely." ”

"Whew"

The flames exploded in an instant, and in just a few breaths, the candle disappeared at a terrifying speed.

When the candle was burned, a strange force appeared on the copper lamp and disappeared in place.

Hua Manlou looked at the copper lamp and smiled slightly, he knew that Zhao Lan should be able to survive, although the side effects of this lamp are very great, but as long as the wish is not outrageous, it can basically be realized.

If you want to make a wish to directly become the top spirit master in the Shenzhou Continent, then it is just a wasted opportunity.

"Ahem"

Hua Manlou suddenly coughed continuously, feeling that his body suddenly weakened.

Behind him, a cyan illusory figure appeared, with a blue face and fangs, looking extremely hideous, at this time, this figure continued to get close to Hua Manlou, and a pair of hands extended into his body.

Hua Manlou's face changed slightly, and he felt a heart-rending pain coming.

The pain is not temporary, it is continuous.

He turned his head to look at the pair of cold, hideous eyes, and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect the curse to be the erosion of the Acceleration Spirit." ”

He knew that his time was running out, and in his state, he could live for at least a year, but now that the last wish had been made, he had a feeling that he would be completely eroded in ten days at most.

There is nothing he can do about this situation.

Even, even if he relied on other spiritual objects, he couldn't stop it, because this was what he voluntarily agreed to exchange, and everything gained had a corresponding price, and in the circle of spirit masters, there was nothing that was harvested in vain.

"Fortunately, there are at least ten days left, and we should be able to deal with the aftermath."

Hua Manlou muttered to himself, a different color flashed in his eyes, "Maybe you can wait until Qi Zixiao's stinky boy comes back, I guess I can't wait for the old clock." ”

At this time, in the cold lake water, Zhao Lan's body continued to sink, but in this sinking process, at a certain moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, a touch of confusion flashed in her eyes, and in her mind, the consciousness that had disappeared was pulled back from the unknown by a mysterious force.

"Am I dead or alive?"

Zhao Lan muttered to herself, her eyes rolled, she looked around, and gradually understood her situation.

Although she didn't know why her consciousness had returned, she understood that this was an opportunity for her.

At the dark, deep bottom of the lake, she looked at an object beside her, which looked like a jewel and was red, less than a foot away from her.

Zhao Lan felt as if she could gradually resume her movements, and slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed the red gem.

With the contact, the red gem suddenly dissolved in her hand, and Zhao Lan felt that a cold aura entered her body.

"It's a spirit, but it seems to have been suppressed by the lake for too long, and I can use this power at will."

Zhao Lan was overjoyed, looked in other directions, and was about to look for some more, when suddenly, a mysterious force pulled her up, and in just a few breaths, she came to the surface of the lake from the depths of the lake.

Zhao Lan showed her head from the water, looked at the embankment in the distance, and swam quickly without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, Zhao Lan vaguely noticed that something seemed to be coming towards her in the lake below, and vaguely, it seemed to be some corpses.

However, whenever those corpses approached, they seemed to be affected by some mysterious force and turned around and returned.

Zhao Lan didn't know what was going on, so she could only swim desperately towards the embankment.

At last she swam to the side of the embankment, grabbed a rock, and climbed up, soaking wet, but the water was rapidly drying when it fell on the embankment.

Zhao Lan kept spitting out the lake water in her mouth, and she didn't know how much it was poured in.

She looked at the deep, icy lake in front of her, under the surface of the lake, she didn't know how many corpses were hidden, she knew that if the things inside escaped out, it was estimated that the entire Qingzhou would be affected.

"How can I get out of a place like this alive?"

Zhao Lan was spitting water, thinking about the reason why she survived, she didn't believe in any miracles, something must have happened that she didn't know.

At this time, she felt the spiritual power in her body, which seemed to be affected by the lake, and the spiritual power in her body seemed to have broken through a certain boundary, reaching a new level, and the water spirit was also silent, and there was one more spirit.

"Riyao, this is the spiritual power of the Riyao level."

Zhao Lan's eyes were slightly in a trance, she didn't expect that she just wanted to find a way to suppress the water spirit in her body, but she let her spiritual power increase again and reach the level of a captain.

Despite this, she still felt a chill in her heart when she looked at the lake, and she knew very well that if it weren't for that mysterious power, she would never have survived.

"It's not a good place to stay long."

Zhao Lan was not greedy, and when she was almost vomited, she turned around and walked along the embankment towards the shore.

Obviously, it didn't look very far, but Zhao Lan found that she couldn't get out of the embankment.

"There is spiritual power at work."

Zhao Lan suddenly understood, she tried to use her spiritual power to leave, but this time it failed, and her spiritual power could not be used on the embankment.

"My water spirit should have a deep relationship with this lake, and the dam can stop the lake, and naturally it can also stop my spiritual power."

Zhao Lan muttered to herself.

She frowned, did she have to go back to the lake to get out of here?

At this moment, on the shore in the distance, a bright light suddenly appeared, and a faint voice came, hearing this voice, Zhao Lan's eyes were a little blurred, and she walked forward unconsciously, this time it only took about a cup of tea, and she walked out of the embankment smoothly.

Stepping on the land, Zhao Lan's eyes regained clarity, and he vaguely saw that there seemed to be an old figure in front of him, carrying an oil lamp.

She was in a daze, and hurriedly chased after her, but she never caught up.

I don't know how far she walked, Zhao Lan found that there was a faint sound of running water in front of her, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace, and the next moment, she found that a waterhole appeared in front of her, and above the waterhole, there was a waterfall, and the water fell with a bang.

Zhao Lan walked there, but the old figure disappeared.

Looking back, Zhao Lan's pupils shrank, where was there a road, there was only a void world, as if shrouded in fog.

"What did that figure bring me out of the levee, to save me?"

Zhao Lan muttered to herself.

Looking at this waterhole, she understood everything, there is no reality in that space, it should be built by some kind of spiritual power, to be honest, she can come out alive, it is definitely the ancestral tomb that smokes.

It's just that she doesn't understand the identity of that figure, whether the other party saved herself.

"Forget it, I don't want to, I'd better go back quickly, I've been out for so long, and I don't know what happened to everyone else."

Zhao Lan spoke softly and gradually left in another direction.

As she left, a vague figure suddenly appeared, watching her leave with a faint gaze.

……

Outside of Yun County, two figures appeared at this time, it was Ye Zhong and Liu Bing, in order to get here as soon as possible, they did not hesitate to consume their true qi and fly in the sky.

There were still dozens of miles away from Yunxian, and they just stopped and looked at the white mist in front of them.

"What is this?"

Liu Bing opened his mouth in surprise.

"Something really happened in Yunxian, it's still a big deal."

Yazhong opened his mouth with a solemn face.

At a glance, there was no end to this fog, thinking of the people in Yun County, the two of them were extremely nervous, it was not a matter of one person or two people.

"What's next, should I report it or do I investigate it first?"

Liu Bing said.

"You report outside, I'll go in to investigate, if I can't get out within an hour, don't hesitate, turn around and leave, tell Lao Hua directly, and ask him to ask for help from the Qingzhou Night Watch Branch."

Yazhong opened his mouth with a solemn face.

Liu Bing heard this, but did not fight with the other party to enter, as a night watchman, the most important thing is calm and judgment, in the face of unknown dangers, they must be prepared for the worst.

As he spoke, he strode forward and went directly into the mist, as for Liu Bing, he took out the mirror and reported to Hua Manlou.

In Sanyang County, hearing Liu Bing's report, Hua Manlou's face was solemn, "I'll let people check the ancient books to see if there have been similar records before." ”

"Yashige has already gone in to investigate, I'm waiting outside, and after an hour, if he doesn't come out, I'll go in and look for him."

Liu Bing said.

"It's just that when the time comes, I can only rely on you, the captain, to ask for help from the Qingzhou Night's Watch Branch, and even from the surrounding county branches."

The Night's Watch could not lose their sanity and composure, but they had no precedent for abandoning their companions.

When Hua Manlou heard this, a flash of eagerness flashed in his eyes, "You wait first, if the night is folded in it, you will only be sent to death when you go in, I will contact the surrounding night watchman team, you don't act impulsively......"

However, before he finished speaking, Liu Bing directly cut off the contact.

Liu Bing looked ahead and muttered, "I hope this matter won't be too big." ”

In the white mist, Yazhong walked slowly, and with his vision, he could only see things within a few meters, and no matter how far away, it was extremely blurry.
