The autumn sun is shining.

But it didn't feel much warmth.

Xu Changsheng walked a few streets with his sword and visited several wine shops until he scattered twenty-six taels of silver.

I finally found out the secrets of the dilapidated river temple of Qingli River in Zi'an County.

It stands to reason that this mountain and river god has to be found in a county, and in fact, it is exactly the case, including the river temple in Zi'an County.

This river temple was originally the earthly residence of the river god of Quansai River in Xizhou County, this life, and the reason for the dilapidation is because the owner of the temple is the previous river god.

The canonization and removal of a mountain and water deity is by no means an easy task. It contains the implication of a dynasty and a country, which not only requires the arrangement of a large array of mountains and rivers to cover the heavens, but also requires the emperor to use the country's heavy weapons.

Therefore, it is not that when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the golden body of the gods is broken, or the roots and feet are rotten, and the court generally does not use the gods.

It's just that I don't know why this spring and river god has been changed, and I can't tell why I ask these civilian monks. I don't even know the specific time, but I know that it was three or five hundred years ago, and the imperial court suddenly announced Xizhou County, saying that the water god had changed.

Even the temple was moved from Zi'an County to the vicinity of Xizhou County.

Naturally, there are a lot of internal struggles, but the imperial court has not announced it.

After finding out the news, Xu Changsheng didn't stay long, bought some wine and meat and went back to the inn.

As soon as he walked to the door of the room, the young man with the sword noticed that something was wrong.

frowned slightly, withdrew the wine and food, and the fist was looming on the surface of the body.

I just opened the door with one step.

Xue Nan rarely sat at the head of the bed.

In the place where Xu Changsheng often sits by the window, there is a woman in a long black dress.

It's her?

The warlock woman in the group of four.

What did she come to do?

Hearing the movement of opening the door, Xue Nan also turned around, his face was pale, and he was crying and mourning.

"Lao Xu, this girl has given me a trick and harmed Lao Tzu. Xue Nan said.

Xu Changsheng ignored it, but set his eyes on the woman in the black dress sitting by the window.

"How can I let him go?" said the young man with the sword said calmly, his hand unconsciously touching the Fu Lu on his waist.

"You've got to come with me. The woman said without raising her head.

"Where are you going?"

"I can't say it, you will know if you go with me. ”

Xu Changsheng was silent, his right hand habitually rubbed Fu Lu, "What are you going to do?"

"Save people. ”

Xu Changsheng was puzzled, "Why did you find us? You must be a warlock who can mobilize a greater force than a martial artist like me." ”

Hong Nanlan would never say that she could even calculate one or two traces of roots and feet in the Divine Control Realm, and she couldn't calculate Xu Changsheng's origin, and she was still a giant who was calculated.

That's why she came to "invite" Xu Changsheng in this way.

After all kinds of reasons were exported, it became two words.

"Intuition. ”

Xu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then looked back at the sloppy young man sitting at the head of the bed, shrugging his head.

"Good. ”

As soon as the words came out, Hong Nanlan finally raised his head, his fair face full of surprise. It was only at this time that Xu Changsheng saw that although the woman in the black dress looked slightly older than him, her appearance was beautiful, and her watery eyes looked extremely beautiful.

No wonder Xue Nan, this kid, is able to talk.

The sloppy boy behind him raised his head excitedly, but after a moment, he shrugged his head again, but this time, his head was lowered deeply.

He thought that Xu Changsheng would save him, and even more thought that he would not save him, after all, although he was a fellow Daoist, he was still a fellow Daoist. But in his opinion, it is far from the point of exchanging life and death.

So he didn't expect Xu Changsheng to agree so refreshedly.

After a little consideration, I agreed.

"He fell for my Dream Soul Gu, and he has to be raised by me every three days, otherwise he will die in his sleep. Hong Nanlan looked at Xue Nan and said softly.

Xu Changsheng nodded, "When will you leave?"

"See you at the north gate tomorrow morning. ”

The woman stepped on the door without looking back.

After confirming that the woman had left, Xu Changsheng got up and went to close the door. He put the food and drinks on the table, grabbed the jug of wine, and sat down on the windowsill.

"We can't control this matter of the Li Mansion, unless we use the talisman given to you by Mr., otherwise it is very likely to die, you and I will. The boy said as he took a sip of his drink.

"Then we don't care. ”

A deep voice came from behind him.

"Well, that's what I thought too. The sword-bearer nodded.

Li Yanguang didn't tell the truth, he had already found the person who kidnapped his daughter before, and he had already fought him. However, the other party is very strong, and according to him, he killed two of them in front of him. ”

The boy shook his head as he spoke.

"I'm not sure, I can't win. ”

Xue Nan didn't speak again, and neither did Xu Changsheng. Suddenly, all that was left in the room was the aroma of wine and meat and the sound of drinking in small sips.

Until the dish is cold and the drinks are gone.

Xue Nancai raised his head, opened his bloodshot eyes, and asked bitterly: "Old Xu, why don't you blame me? ”

"Is it useful to scold you? No. Moreover, what is there to scold this, you are not my son, how you behave, how you behave in the world, it is completely your own will. It's like you messed with the warlock because you wanted to take advantage of it, and that's your business.

Your business, I'm sure you can handle it. And helping you is my business. So you don't have to have that much burden. The boy sat on the windowsill and stretched.

Looking at Xue Nan, there was still a little bitter expression, "And it's boring on the road anyway, it's better to go and see what the warlock is looking for us, right?"

Xue Nan knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just silently wrote it down.

In this world, in addition to his father and Mr. Yu, he has one more brother, who is a brother recognized by Xue Nan.

It's not because Xu Changsheng promised to save him tonight, and it's not because Xu Changsheng can always speak according to his heart on weekdays. But in this world, there are always some things that are more intoxicating than old wine and scraping bones than beauty.

That thing, not in the book, not in the belly, just lying in this human world, but few people can look at it, and they are often discarded.

"Lao Xu, drink, I'll go and heat up the dishes. Xue Nan slapped the bed, wiped his face, and said loudly.

......

Early the next morning, the two left the room and headed north.

Out of the North Gate.

Sure enough, I saw a female warlock in a black dress standing at the intersection. There were a few Mortal Realm monks standing on the side, chatting, but their eyes couldn't stop glancing at the woman.

Seeing Xu Changsheng and the two coming, the woman turned around and went north without saying a word.

It wasn't until the two of them came that she said lightly.

"Hong Nanlan"

Xue Nan's eyes slipped, as if he thought of something, but he didn't say anything.

"Xu Changsheng, Xue Nan. ”

The young man with the sword took a look at the scenery around him and spoke.

"Your name is Xue Nan?" Hong Nanlan turned his head to stare at Xu Changsheng and asked.

The corners of the sword-bearing young man's mouth twitched, "Xue Nan is him, and my name is Xu Changsheng." ”

Hong Nanlan nodded and didn't speak again.

Xue Nan deliberately pulled back, and then went around to Xu Changsheng's side, and said casually: "Old Xu, I suspect that this woman is from the Dark Stream. ”

The sword-bearing boy's face was normal, but his heart was shocked.

Although he didn't have much to walk, he had also heard of the name of this dark stream dock, which was not comparable to ordinary Taoyuan Cave and White Fog Gate. It is the first sect in a state, and there are only ten such forces in Da Rui.

One case in one state, for Da Rui is also for the Xia family to guard a landscape. If you really go to the Imperial City of Amyang, you can have tea to drink.

The young man with the negative sword condensed the line and said, "Where to start?"

Xue Nan first glanced at Hong Nanlan before he said, "Because of her surname." ”

Surname?

Xue Nan seemed to be organizing the language, and it wasn't until he walked out a few steps that he said: "The Dark Stream Dock is actually divided into two veins, but the world generally only knows one vein, that is, the main sect based on Taoist cultivation, and it is also the real ruler of the Dark Stream Dock. But in addition to this, there is actually another vein. That is, the hidden vein of the dark stream. ”

One recalled carefully, one listened attentively, and didn't notice that the woman in the black dress who was walking in front quietly pricked up her ears.

"The difference between the hidden vein and the main sect is that it is a family inheritance, and all the warlocks in the family are without exception, and that family is surnamed Hong. Speaking of this, Xue Nan glanced at Hong Nanlan vaguely, meaning something.

Xu Changsheng nodded secretly, according to Xue Nan's analysis, it is still very possible, after all, this is Xizhou County, and a little further up is the northernmost state of Darui, Sichuan Prefecture.

And the dark stream dock is also the first case in Sichuanzhou.

It's just that along the way, the two of them have also heard some rumors, saying that the Dark Stream Dock has rebelled and has been wiped out by the Wind Phase, and even the sect of the Dark Stream Dock has been occupied by the Great Rui God and Demon Guard.

But no one can confirm it, and the court has not made an announcement, so the rumors have always been rumors.

But now that I think about it, it's really possible.

It's just that this is very likely to be a woman in a black dress with a hidden vein in the dark stream, and she wants to save people by herself, and she doesn't make it clear.

Do you really want to go to Da Rui's men to rob people by yourself?

Xu Changsheng hurriedly took a few deep breaths and suppressed the resentment in his heart. I haven't even arrived at the triple level of refining my body, and someone is planning to fight with the second-level forces of the entire human world, which is really worthy of myself!

No, this matter must be made clear, it really can't be done, even if you use those two talismans to force Hong Nanlan to solve this Gu technique, or find a way to go back to Huangliang County to ask Mr. Yu for help, it is better than sending him to death here.

"And it is said that the hidden vein and the current dock owner of the dark stream dock are also inextricably linked. Some people say that the dock master is an abandoned son of the hidden vein, and after all kinds of tribulations, he ascended to the position of the dock master of the dark stream in order to take revenge on the hidden vein, so there was this turmoil.

Some people also say that the people of the hidden vein have coveted the position of the master of the dock for a long time, so they took advantage of this turmoil to prepare to bring down the sect, and their people with the hidden vein will take over the dark stream dock. Tsk, I have to say that this big force is different, there are so many scenes. Xue Nan continued to explain, and did not forget to mock.

Unexpectedly, Xu Changsheng didn't have time to speak, but Hong Nanlan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, his face was like frost, and he turned his hand and hit a spell.

directly flipped Xue Nan to the side of the road, and at the same time shouted angrily: "You fart!"
