"This Qinhuai River is full of people coming and going, and it is very lively, so it shouldn't have given birth to this thing. Shen Luo heard the words and wondered.

"I also think this is strange, but the world is unpredictable, and some unexpected things are not unusual. Besides, there are many resentful couples on the Qinhuai River, and there are many people who have died by throwing themselves into the water over the years, and the evil spirit may not be less. Soul Hook Ma Mian said disapprerovingly.

"But isn't this town river beast originally used to block evil, how could it become a water demon by itself?" Shen Luo asked again.

"Yes, this thing was originally used to ward off the disaster, there are twenty-four bridgeheads in Jianye City, each of them has one, but the others are all right, only Zhenhuai Bridge has a problem here. The water in the body of this town river beast is entrenched, and it actually devours the Qinhuai water ghosts on a large scale, and even controls them to tempt people to throw water, disturbing the two worlds of yin and yang, which is really damned. As he spoke, the anger came up, and he poured a large sip of wine.

"Unfortunately, in the end, it was allowed to escape somewhat. Shen Luo sighed and said.

When Ma Mian heard this, his expression was slightly strange, but he suddenly said:

"Tomorrow after sunset, you come here again to find me, I will ask you to do something for me, and there will be a thank you when the time comes. ”

"I don't know what it's doing?" Shen Luo asked with a move in his heart.

"Tomorrow is coming, and you will know. Soul Hook Ma Mian didn't plan to explain more, and after saying a word, he stuffed the wine gourd in his hand into his sleeve, got up and left first.

Shen Luo rushed back to the Bai family full of doubts, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "A thousand years later, the reason why Soul Hook Ma Mian will recognize me is probably because of today's events, right?"

"What else did he say at the time, I can't be alive, what's going on?" This thought, he couldn't help but become more and more scared the more he thought about it, and he only felt a cold sweat on his back.

"No! now that I know in advance, I won't let this happen again!" Shen Luo clenched his fists heavily, and made up his mind in his heart.

......

On the evening of the second day, Shen Luo finished his day's practice and came to the secluded pavilion as he said.

When he arrived, the sun had not completely set, and he did not see the figure of the horse in the pavilion, and after waiting for a long time, the other party was late, and he still looked like a white-faced scholar.

"Yes, it's punctual. Ma Mian's eyes swept at Shen Luo, and he said.

"What my predecessors asked me to do, I can always say it now. Shen Luo said.

"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous thing to subdue demons and eliminate demons, I just want you to sneak into the City God Pavilion and fetch three pillars of incense for me. Ma Mian waved his hand at Shen Luo and said seriously.

"Go to the City God Pavilion to steal incense?" Shen Luo thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask.

"What a thief, how ugly it sounds, it's to take! Let you go to the City God's Pavilion to get three old incense sticks that have been infected by the smell of incense. Ma Mian coughed lightly and said.

Shen Luo frowned, looking at the horse face with a puzzled face.

"To tell you the truth, the day before yesterday I was in a battle with the water and suffered some dark injuries. But right now, in Jianye City, there are still things to do that the underworld has to do, and there is no way to return to recuperate for the time being, so you can only steal some incense from the city god to recuperate your injuries. Ma Mian hesitated slightly, but still explained.

"I see. It's just that why don't the seniors borrow it themselves, but ask the juniors to pick it up?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully, but after a turn of thought, he thought of something and asked.

"Nonsense! I am a yin body, and the city god is a rank higher, so it is naturally not convenient. Ma Mian rolled his eyes and said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he was still a little hesitant.

"Don't worry, you are the body of the Yang world, but you are just taking three incense sticks that have received incense, which is nothing to the City God, it is a big deal to go to the incense and pray with logistics, there will be no problem. As long as you get this done, I will be grateful. Seeing Shen Luo's hesitation, Ma Mian urged a little impatiently.

Hearing the word "heavy thanks", Shen Luo's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and the two terms magic weapon and immortal jade couldn't help but appear in his mind.

These are the two things he wants most at the moment.

"Okay, I'll help you once. Shen Luo no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded and said.

"Remember, it's the darkest old incense in the incense tube on the table, so don't take it wrong. Ma Mian breathed a sigh of relief and admonished again.

"Got it. Shen Luo agreed, and ran out in small steps.

The City God's Temple in Jianye City covers an area of quite a wide area, and there are many believers who come and go, and the incense is vigorous all the years.

When Shen Luo rushed to the temple, the sky was completely dark, and an elderly temple priest was about to close the temple gate, but he stopped him, saying that he had come from afar, so he threw incense money for a pillar of incense for the city god.

Seeing that he was earnest, Miaozhu let him in.

Shen fell into the hall, saw the merit box in front of him, and without saying a word, took out ten taels of silver from his arms and threw it in.

The temple on the side also rarely saw such a generous pilgrim, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly took the initiative to get incense for him.

"Burning incense should be taken for yourself, and you can prove your sincerity. Seeing this, Shen Luo hurriedly stopped and said.

When Miao Zhu heard this, he seemed to feel reasonable, so he retreated and let Shen Luo go to get the incense by himself.

Shen Luo rummaged in the incense tube slightly, and finally twisted out three dark-colored old incense sticks from it, quietly put it into the sleeve, and then picked out three bright red heart incense, and stepped forward to light it.

When he entered the incense, he didn't make a wish in his heart, but just confessed his guilt repeatedly, so that the city god would not worry about him.

After that, he left the temple and returned to the pavilion.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Ma Mian took three Chen incense sticks from Shen Luo's hand, and smiled like a treasure.

With that, he took three sticks of incense and put them in front of his nose and sniffed them deeply.

Shen Luo saw that the three Chen incense were clearly not ignited, but each of them lit a scarlet light at the top, and with the action of the horse's inhalation, it quickly burned towards the incense tail.

Smoke came out of the three incense sticks, and he was inhaled into his nose by the horse's face at all, and his face immediately glowed with a ruddy luster, and his expression became very comfortable.

It's just that the incense sticks after the fire immediately turned into ashes and drifted away.

"Could it be that the immortals eating incense are like this?" Shen Luo stared at this scene with wide eyes, and also felt very surprised.

"It's a good job, that's your reward, take it. Ma Mian looked very satisfied, and slowly reached into his sleeve, took out a black scroll more than three inches long, and handed it to Shen Luo.

"It's not an immortal jade ......" The moment Shen Luo's gaze fell on the scroll, a sigh sounded in his heart.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that this scroll would be a magic weapon.

Shen Luo received it in his hand, slowly opened the letter suspiciously, and saw a black silk book unfolded in front of him, with crooked and bright red seal script handwriting written on it, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Psychic contract?" When he saw the words on the top of the scroll, there was no longer a look of disappointment in his eyes.
