Chapter 12: The Shadow of the River

"Young master," Zhou Biao saw Zhou Wenjun's soul calling for help, and hurriedly wanted to go to the rescue.

At this moment, several desolate laughter came from outside the gate, and the figure of a woman in white fluttered in.

This woman's feet do not touch the ground, her face is pale, her long tongue hangs down on her chest, her eyes are bulging, blood is flowing from her upper and lower eye sockets, her nails are sharp, and her breath is cold.

"You, you~~"

Zhou Biao saw the female ghost's appearance clearly, and immediately trembled and his teeth trembled.

At this moment, Zhou Wenjun's soul had fled to the altar, and it was only when he sensed the call here that he could temporarily free himself from the pursuit of the female ghost.

"Zhou Wenjun, you drugged my innocent body and caused me to die in vain, I want you to never be able to live beyond ......"

The female ghost approached angrily, her voice full of sorrow.

"Zheng Xiuxiu, it's not enough to kill people, I've been strangled to death by you, what else do you want? Dao Chief, help me!"

When Zhou Wenjun responded to the female ghost, he did not forget to ask Li Zhai for help.

This one?

Li Zhai is helpless, he doesn't want to participate in this cause and effect, Zhou Wenjun is his own evil and evil retribution, and Zheng Xiuxiu's transformation into a powerful ghost to ask for his life is a cycle of cause and effect.

Therefore, he just groaned and did not say anything.

"Uncle Biao, save me. ”

Seeing Zheng Xiuxiu approaching, Li Zhai had no intention of making a move, and Zhou Wenjun asked Zhou Biao for help.

"Young master, don't be afraid, I'll help you!"

Zhou Biao took out the saber at his waist and slashed at the female ghost Zheng Xiuxiu.

However, although the knife light fell from Zheng Xiuxiu's shoulder, she was very little affected, and her long tongue curled around Zhou Biao's neck, and her sharp claws pulled out his heart.

Kong Yilong wanted to make a move, but was pulled by Li Zhai: "Brother Kong, it's better not to be contaminated with some causes and effects." ”

Burst~~

The sharp nails scratched Zhou Biao's heart, his body fell on his back, and Zheng Xiuxiu laughed like a madman:

"Evil slave, I wanted to spare your life, but you had to rush to die, I will let you watch Zhou Wenjun's beast disappear today. ”

While speaking, Zheng Xiuxiu rushed towards Zhou Wenjun and scratched at him, causing him to keep screaming and wailing.

However, the other party is already a ghost, and Zheng Xiuxiu only died a little earlier than him, even if he has a grudge, he is not a high-level ghost, and he can't really be wiped out at all.

Finally, after Zhou Wenjun's figure faded a lot and was covered with scars, Zheng Xiuxiu stopped his movements, squatted on the ground and cried.

The onlookers in the hall couldn't help but sigh silently from the panic and dodge at the beginning.

This girl is so pathetic.

"Brother Li Dao, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

The truth of the case has been revealed, Zhou Wenjun's master and servant are dead, and the aftermath of the incident, he, an official, must not be able to avoid it.

The key is that there is also a female ghost Zheng Xiuxiu here, Kong Yilong looked at Li Zhai and asked.

Li Zhai waved his hand, signaling him to be calm.

After Zheng Xiuxiu cried for a while, she walked in front of her and said, "Zheng Xiuxiu, the anger in your heart is almost gone, I can send you to reincarnation, are you willing?"

"Thank you, Immortal Chief. ”

Indeed, as Li Zhai said, Zheng Xiuxiu did not kill Zhou Biao last night, but only beheaded the evil Zhou Wenjun, which shows that she is still sensible.

Now that the revenge has been avenged, the depression in her heart has almost dissipated, she doesn't want to be a lonely ghost for the rest of her life, and she is happy to thank her when she hears that she can be reincarnated as a human being.

"No," Li Zhai waved his hand and began to cast a reincarnation overdue, sending Zheng Xiuxiu into the open reincarnation channel.

"Immortal Chief, I also want to be reincarnated, can I?"

Zhou Wenjun saw that after Zheng Xiuxiu entered a mysterious passage, the passage was about to close, and hurriedly spoke.

"No, this Dao Master and you are not related, do you know how much it will cost me to cultivate the Dao by being alone?"

Li Zhai directly refused, he was not a benevolent person, and he was still very poor, even if he wanted to go beyond this, he couldn't do it in vain.

"Dao Chief, I'll give you all those silver coins, please, just help me!"

Zhou Wenjun is still very good, he pointed to the money bag on Zhou Biao's waist, and knelt down and kowtowed and begged.

The ghost who just died is very weak, according to the system, it can't even compare to the first-level ghost, and it can't pick up the real thing, otherwise Zhou Wenjun wouldn't have been hunted down so miserably.

"Well, if you are sincere, I will make an exception and do it again. ”

There were so many people around watching, and there was also the official Kong Yilong, who received the gold and silver for a while, and he would not be gossiped about, so Li Zhai agreed after a long groan.

He recited the words again: "The law of heaven is manifest, the law of the earth is dark, yin and yang are intertwined, reincarnation breeds, the soul is fierce, good and evil are clear, the road ahead is opened, and a life is passed, and it is as urgent as the law." ”

The reincarnation passage that was about to close opened, and Zhou Wenjun's soul flew into it and disappeared.

Li Zhai smiled faintly and walked over to take off the money bag from Zhou Biao's waist.

This was the end of the matter, and everyone in the inn went back to the house to rest.

Kong Yilong volunteered, put the bodies of Zhou Biao and Zhou Wenjun on the carriage, and rushed to Zhou's house in Changping County overnight.

After all, the weather at this time is not too cold, and the corpses will stink after a long time, and who would dare to stay in the inn.

Yun Ruoling thanked him for his help and asked the kitchen to prepare beef pancakes and drinking water, without taking a penny.

"Brother Li Dao, where are you going to travel next?"

Kong Yilong asked Li Zhai, he really wanted the other party to set off with him.

After all, walking at night is very dangerous, and in case you encounter evil things, you can be much safer with this Taoist master.

"I'm going to Changping County too," Li Zhai didn't hide it, he didn't mind walking with the other party.

At least there is a luxury carriage of the Zhou family to ride, so he doesn't have to walk long distances.

"Really, that's great, Brother Li Dao, let's go together. ”

Yun Ruoling heard that Li Zhai was also going to escort the corpse away, so he hurriedly instructed the back kitchen to prepare more cooked beef flatbread to drink.

In this way, the two sat in front of the carriage and left the Qiyun Inn at night, chatting while going straight to Changping County.

The night is blank and the road is rough.

Although they had already set off before dawn, it was not until the second half of the night that the two of them walked dozens of miles.

Suddenly, the horse neighed, and the horse's hooves trembled and stopped and refused to go any further.

A river appeared in front of it, with a stone arch bridge on the river, and the fog on the surface of the river was clear and the sound of water was roaring.

"Why didn't the horses leave? The forage that was only fed this afternoon shouldn't have run out of strength so soon?" Kong Yilong said suspiciously, jumping out of the carriage to check the condition of the horses.

Li Zhai stared at the river in front of him, and there was a fine light in his eyes.

"Hmm~, it's really weird. ”

Li Zhai saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow floating on the river surface under the stone arch bridge, shrouded in water vapor, and the distance was too far, what was it?

"Brother Kong, we should have encountered something demonic, it's not a problem with horses, you be careful, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Li Zhai said to Kong Yilong, and then walked towards the arch bridge more than ten meters away.

"Brother Li, you have to be more careful yourself. ”

Kong Yilong said, his face solemn and he clenched his saber at the same time.

In the dead of night, the area that can be illuminated by the starlight and moonlight is limited, Li Zhai held the peachwood sword in his hand and walked to the edge of the arched bridge.

Just as he was about to take a closer look at what those dark shadows were, the other party suddenly raised his head and let out a few eerie smirks.

Hey, hey, hey~~
