Originally, I planned to go directly to find the next fragment of the Soul Refining Pot, but Bai Ze and Hu Zihua suddenly received a family task, and it took a period of time.

Without these two right-hand men, I thought I would encounter a lot of difficulties, so I stayed at the Wutang headquarters for the time being, waiting for the task of the two to be completed.

It just so happened that I also took advantage of this time to pester Third Master Hu and ask him to teach me some pinching techniques and formation techniques, so that my strength has also been improved to a certain extent.

In addition, after this period of observation, I thought that Ah Kang was also a brave and resourceful person worthy of training, so together with Lonnie, he began to teach him some techniques to exorcise evil spirits and subdue ghosts.

Ah Kang studied very seriously, but in half a month, he learned to draw talismans and some simple exorcism techniques, which made me feel very gratified.

At this time, Hu Zihua and Bai Ze also completed their respective family tasks and rushed over to join me, and after everything was ready, we were ready to go.

Before leaving, I invited Ban Erbo and asked him about the location of the next fragment of the Soul Refining Pot.

"Second uncle, I remember you said before that fifty miles south of Shantou Village, there is the breath of soul refining pot fragments, can you tell me the specific location?"

After listening to my question, Ban Xiaoyue, who has always been cold and serious, has a touch of embarrassment on his face.

"Cheng Yi, the place I told you last time was wrong, and there was a little deviation."

I didn't care and said: "What's this, what's the matter, why not deviate a little, second uncle, tell me quickly." ”

Only then did Ban Xiaoyue say, "That fragment is not fifty miles south of Shantou Village, but five thousand miles away!" ”

What, what?

When I heard this, I was stunned.

Five thousand miles away, isn't that to the south?

My face was full of depression: "Second uncle, the difference between these fifty miles and five thousand miles is too much, aren't you kidding me?" ”

"What is it?"

I asked, looking at Madara Xiaoyue.

"Ghost town, Xudu, a place called Meng Pozhuang."

Ban Xiaoyue said in a deep voice.

Ghost town? I've heard of this place, and it's said to be the closest place to the underworld, full of ghosts, gloomy and unsightly, and there is no sunlight all year round.

Unexpectedly, the fourth fragment of the Soul Refining Pot would actually be scattered in that place!

"Cheng Yi, you have to be prepared, this time in the south, it's best to find a way to solve the problem yourself, we may not be able to help you much."

Madara said solemnly to me.

I was puzzled and asked, "Second uncle, what do you mean by this, can't I invite immortals when I get there?" ”

Ban Xiaoyue said: "Yes, yes, we may not be able to receive your information, after all, there is an old saying, the five immortals do not go out of the Shanhaiguan, I think you should have heard of it." ”

I nodded: "I've heard of it, but I don't quite understand, why can't the five immortals go out of Shanhaiguan?" ”

Ban Xiaoyue sighed: "Because there are relatively few people in the south who believe in the Ma family, and Wutang can't get enough offerings, it is difficult to receive the information that Brother Ma invites immortals. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and after listening to Ban Xiaoyue's explanation, I understood.

However, my own current strength has also been greatly improved, and with the help of Hu Zihua and Bai Ze, I think that I can still cope with the general situation.

So I told Madara that I would try my best to solve the difficulties on my own, and that I would not invite them out of the mountain unless I had to.

Ban Xiaoyue nodded, and then asked: "Cheng Yi, there are many sects in the Southern Yin and Yang Realm, what corpse movers, Maoshan Taoists, ghost craftsmen and the like, to name a few, many of these sects have prejudices against our Ma family in the north, so you'd better keep a low profile and try not to conflict with them." ”

I originally wanted to ask Ban Xiaoyue why these southern sects had prejudices against the Ma family, but looking at Ban Xiaoyue's expression, I didn't seem to want to explain too much, so I didn't ask more.

After some advice, Madara Xiaodake left, and we went straight to the nearest town, took a car, and rushed to S City.

Coming to S City, the group took the train again, and after two days and one night, they reached Jincheng, the closest to Xudu, and then walked for another day, and finally reached Xudu on the third night!

Before I came, I had always imagined that it should be a ghostly and sparsely populated place, but when we arrived here, we found that this place was completely different from what I had imagined.

The wide roads, towering buildings, the traffic, the endless stream, full of fireworks in the world, where is there a trace of the shadow of a ghost town?

"We're not in the wrong place, are we?"

Looking at the bustle in front of me, I couldn't help but ask with some hesitation.

"That's right, this is Xudu."

Hu Zihua said: "Cheng Yi, don't be confused by the superficial phenomena here, it's not as simple as you think. ”

Hu Zihua's sentence seems to have something in his words, but I didn't ask too much, if it comes, it will be safe, anyway, as soon as we find the fragment of the soul refining pot, we will leave here immediately.

That night, we checked into a hotel and prepared to go to Meng Po Zhuang the next morning!

The next morning, I got up early, ran to the shop near the hotel, bought a map of Xudu, and finally found the location of Meng Pozhuang.

Before, I thought that this Meng Po Zhuang was a remote village and town, but when we arrived at the destination, we found that this Meng Po Zhuang was actually a bustling commercial street!

Whether it is Xudu or Meng Po Zhuang, they are all and I imagined that I was very surprised, I once wondered if I was looking for the wrong place, but I asked a few pedestrians nearby, and they all said that this is Meng Po Village, so I had to give up.

"In this kind of place, how can there be fragments of the Soul Refining Pot?"

Looking at the rows of shops on both sides of the street and the streets full of tourists, Bai Ze also muttered.

Bai Ze's suspicions were not unreasonable, because the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot were already possessed of spirituality, and for their own safety, they were generally scattered to some barren mountains and mountains, or remote villages that were inaccessible and other extremely shady places.

In a commercial street like this, the probability of finding the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot is indeed too small.

"Don't worry about it so much, let's go around first."

As I spoke, I took the lead and walked towards the depths of Meng Po Village.

The street is quite wide, lined with some specialty shops, all kinds of food, drink and play, dazzling.

After a short time of walking, Cortana, Tranquility, and Lonnie were already holding hands and starting to wander around, having completely dismissed this trip as a shopping distraction.

I smiled helplessly, continued to walk along the middle of the road, and after a while, I came to the end, and there were no surprises in the whole process.
