"Tonghai City Night Watchman?" Ling Jiang had never heard of this identity, and it seemed that there was no such position in the imperial court. He walked in the darkness for a while, and the watchman beside him suddenly disappeared at some point.

When he looked back, he was walking downstairs in the inn, the night light was still two, and Xiao Er, who was sitting on the counter, was also snoring. Ling Jiang knew that he was returning to the yang world, and this familiar feeling would only be noticed from the bottom of his heart when he returned to his hometown.

"I don't know if Da Bai has come back ......" Ling Jiang thought to himself, and was thinking about going down the stairs back to the inn, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, and looked through the window, and he had already seen the bright torches blocking the door of the inn.

Squirt bang bang!

The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the knock on the door also sounded at the same time, Ling Jiang noticed that something was not quite right, and immediately rushed to the door of the inn leading to the backyard, and he didn't know if the other party was outflanking him before and after, Ling Jiang didn't dare to act rashly, just hid behind the curtain and waited.

The sleeping shopkeeper was quickly woken up by the rapid knock on the door, he asked who it was in a daze, and opened the door with a hazy sleepiness. The dense torches in front of him, as well as the shocking swords and guns, immediately made him sober up.

"Gentlemen...... Ladies and gentlemen, it's so late...... I don't know what's going on in the big shop?" the shopkeeper was stunned and asked hesitantly.

One of the officers at the head shouted: "I received a report from the officer that there are people here who are picking quarrels and provoking trouble, disrupting the curfew, and this officer is now going to conduct a comprehensive search of your inn, do you have any opinions?"

When Xiao Er heard this, he glanced at the officer's eyes, and was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground again, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "My lord, even if you search, the little one doesn't dare to have an opinion." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of the officer's mouth, and he waved his hand lightly and said, "Whoosh!"

As soon as his words fell, thirty soldiers behind him rushed in with torches, searching the inn inside and out.

Ling Jiang secretly said that it was not good, and was thinking about how to leave, when suddenly someone pulled him violently behind him, and before he could speak, he saw Da Bai raise an index finger and make a silent posture, "Follow me." ”

Da Bai didn't take Ling Jiang quietly through the backyard, and came to a wall less than a zhang high, Da Bai half-squatted and motioned for Ling Jiang to turn over. The first time Ling Jiang climbed the wall, he was somewhat timid, twisted his knees, and climbed over the wall with both hands, but when he landed, he still fell miserably. Now he is no longer the thin scholar he was half a year ago, and climbing this wall is nothing, but he is too timid to be so embarrassed.

Da Bai then easily climbed over the wall and pulled Ling Jiang into an alley in front of him. At the moment when they left, the gate of the backyard was also broken open by a soldier who held a torch to illuminate the courtyard.

"Da Bai, what the hell is going on?" Ling Jiang followed behind Da Bai and asked, "What about Ya'er?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two walked around the corner, and a familiar figure immediately rushed out and hugged Ling Jiang, "Childe, it's really good that you're okay." ”

Ya'er and Chen Baohan had already packed their bags and hid in the depths of this alley, Ling Jiang was relieved to see that his bags had also been brought out, although there were no valuable things in his baggage, they were all valuables, the books given by Mr. Su, the Qingping leaves and bamboo flutes left by Miss Xi Yao were all inside.

"I was careless, and I blamed it for this. Without waiting for everyone to speak, Da Bai took the lead in blaming himself.

"Brother Dabai, it's not your fault. Ya'er shook her head and said, "If you hadn't informed us in advance, we would have been taken away by those officers and soldiers." ”

Chen Baohan also asked: "Brother Bai, why are the officers and soldiers chasing us?"

"It's not just officers and soldiers. Da Bai shook his head solemnly, "Now there are no less than three forces in the entire Tonghai City staring at us, just because I killed that river demon." ”

Chen Baohan was puzzled, "Brother Bai, you didn't do anything wrong by killing demons and eliminating harm for the people, how did you offend them." ”

"Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty. Da Bai only said such a sentence, and Ling Jiang immediately understood, no wonder the strange man and woman with lanterns in the underworld and the two elders of Yinshan couldn't wait to swallow themselves alive.

Da Bai shook his head, "I'm only a cultivator in the Three Realms, but I can kill the little demon who has been in the Ning Dan stage with one sword, and I must have thought that they were carrying an incredible treasure on my body." Now that the government of Haicheng has been dispatched, I finally understand why no one has killed that river demon for ten years. ”

"Why?" asked Ya'er.

Dabai didn't explain, he pondered alone, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ling Jiang replied, "That river demon is bait, and we are fish, a big fish. ”

"Understood!" Chen Baohan was dumbfounded, "These people are too much, why should they rob other people's things?"

"It's not easy to practice. Da Bai looked at Chen Baohan and explained, "Tonghai City is remote, and if you want to get more resources, you can only start from passers-by. But if someone kills the river demon, once he has no family background, he will be like a piece of meat on the side of his mouth, sleeping with meat on his pillow, who can sleep?"

"Then what should we do?" Ya'er said distressedly, "Now the city gate must be heavily guarded, we can't get out at all, if we wait until tomorrow morning, maybe the wanted notice will be plastered all over the city, anyway, that's what the book says, in fact, we should not leave." ”

"That's true......" Ling Jiang smiled bitterly, he had seen the strength of the two elders of Yinshan, not to mention Dabai, even the two of them may not be his opponents, let alone the Tonghai City Government that holds the military power? Although it is a violation of the law to transfer troops privately, this Tonghai City is far away, and Chang'an's hand can't be stretched so long, and he doesn't bother to stretch it here.

"Don't worry, someone will take us out of the city, but after we get out of the city, ......" Da Bai paused and looked towards Ling Jiang, "I need you to do something." ”

"What's the matter?" Ling Jiang asked suspiciously.

"I'll tell you when I get out of town. Da Bai said, and couldn't help but glance at Ya'er, and Ling Jiang nodded understandingly.

This will keep the eyes of the Haicheng government focused on the inn, and the streets will naturally be much safer, of course, the closer to the city gate, the more dangerous it will be. The four of them trotted all the way in the night, and soon came to the gate of Tonghai City.

The two fires on the left and right sides of the city pass illuminate the surroundings brightly, but whenever there is any wind and grass, the crossbowmen on the city tower can immediately shoot an arrow.

But when everyone came to the city gate, the soldiers defending the city fell to the ground in confusion and fell asleep, and even the crossbowman was lying on the city wall, unconscious. The most surprising thing is that the gates, which should have been closed, were pushed open a small gap, as if they had been prepared for them in advance.

Da Bai walked at the end, urging everyone to quickly pass through the city pass. Under the moonlight, the four of them did not dare to blatantly take the official road, but walked along the country road on the side for nearly a cup of tea, and Dabai stopped.

He looked at the panting Ya'er and Chen Baohan, and said softly, "You guys can rest here for a while, Ling Jiang, you come with me." ”

Da Bai said, leading Ling Jiang to detour along the hill to the other end, just blocking the sight of Ya'er and the others.

"Da Bai, what is going on?" Ling Jiang looked at Da Bai and asked.

I saw him look around and say to the darkness in front of him, "There's no one else here, come out." ”

Da Bai said, only to see a wedding dress woman search flashed behind Ling Jiang for a moment, and she had a very cold cold air on her body, which made Ling Jiang shiver. Ling Jiang looked back and found that the woman in the wedding dress was actually floating in the air, with her hair scattered, although she had a small face with a logo, it gave people an inexplicable fear.

"Ghost?" Ling Jiang said in surprise in his heart, the woman in the wedding dress had a crimson blood mark on her neck, obviously strangled to death.

"Is he the scholar you said?" asked the woman in the wedding dress as she looked at Ling Jiang with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

"Hmm. Da Bai nodded, turned on the revenge and began to rummage for something.

The woman in the wedding dress was a little dissatisfied and said, "It's true that he has a bit of a scholarly spirit, but it's a pity that he has stepped on the martial arts, unlike him." ”

"This ...... What are they?" Ling Jiang was confused when he heard this, his heart was empty, and he always felt as if he had been sold.

Da Bai got up from the ground, held a talisman in his hand, looked at the female ghost and asked, "Did you bring something?"

"Brought. The female ghost said, throwing out of thin air a piece of clothing and throwing it on the ground, at first glance, it was clearly a shroud.

Da Bai picked up the shroud and pasted the talisman paper in his hand on it, then turned around and handed it to Ling Jiang and said, "Put it on, and then send her on the last ride." ”

"What?" Ling Jiang exclaimed, what kind of fuss is Da Bai?

Just when Ling Jiang was uneasy, the female ghost in the wedding dress floating behind him suddenly fell to the ground, approached Ling Jiang's ear and whispered: "Childe, my name is Qinghe, I was originally sent into reincarnation by Daoist Bai Daochang, but I still have residual thoughts in my heart, and I asked Gongzi to help me fulfill this wish." ”

Dabai said: "She is the woman who hanged herself upstairs in the inn, and I made a deal with her." She sent us out of the city, and I sent her into reincarnation. ”

"Deal?" Ling Jiang muttered, recalling the attitude of Da Bai when he first entered the inn, and now he finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter. If it was a normal guest room, it would never make Ling Jiang feel uneasy, it was obvious that the dead man's guest room was not clean. And the reason why Da Bai didn't do it to exorcise evil spirits must have reached a consensus with the female ghost a long time ago.

"How do I send it?" Although he understood the cause of the incident, Ling Jiang was still a little flustered, he held the cold and dazzling shroud in his hand, and asked softly.

Dabai explained: "She will tell you, after sending her away, she will keep going north, there is a town five miles away, and we will meet there early tomorrow morning." Pay attention to safety on the road, sooner or later we will be discovered when we dig out of the city, but with your current skills, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a few officers and soldiers. ”

"This ......" Da Bai has already said this, what else does Ling Jiang have to say? After all, he was able to get out of the city safely because of the help of this female ghost, and sooner or later he would have to pay it back when he came out to mingle. It's just that in the middle of the night, he was asked to walk with a female ghost, which is still a bit creepy.

Under the urging of Dabai, Ling Jiang honestly put on a shroud. I don't know if this shroud doesn't fit, he always feels that his neck is tightened, after all, this is a dress for the dead, and the living will inevitably be a little uncomfortable to wear it.

Da Bai then took out the fire fold and a piece of rune paper and stuffed it into Ling Jiang's hand, "After sending it away, light this rune paper in its place, and you can come back by walking in the direction of the smoke, remember, you must not turn back along the way, if someone calls your name, you can't agree." ”

"Hmm. Ling Jiang nodded and said, it was nothing if Da Bai didn't say this, but the more he continued to speak, the more panicked he felt.

"Childe, let's hit the road. Qing He didn't know when he held up an oil-paper umbrella and whispered next to Ling Jiang.
