On the afternoon of the day turn, on a street in Ningshan County, a flowing young man in a white robe walked forward briskly with a jar of wine in his hand. After a while, he walked to a shop and stopped.

"Wu Ji Cookcake. The young man looked at the plaque outside the door and muttered to himself, and then walked into the cake shop. Two steps through the door was a wooden counter, and inside the counter stood a rather beautiful woman.

"Sister-in-law Xinghua, give me two cooking cakes. The young man stood outside the counter and shouted to the woman.

"It's Brother Lige. Hearing this, the woman at the counter glanced up at the young man, and hurriedly took out two pieces of oiled paper, wrapped several cakes, and handed them to the young man, "Did you and your master move away?"

"yes. Li Ge took out a few copper coins from his waist and put them on the counter, and then took the cooking cake, "You're busy, I'm leaving." ”

"Wait!" The woman at the counter hurriedly chased out with the money, "If you hadn't made a move on my family's Piao'er the previous winter, she might have ...... by now At that time, you left in a hurry, and we didn't have time to thank you, and today we can collect your money from this cake. With that, she stuffed the copper coin into the Qiankun bag on Li Ge's side.

"This~ Well, thank you sister-in-law Xinghua. Li Ge thought about it, but didn't push back, and left with the wine and baked cakes.

In the misty Guilin in the foggy mountains, except for a small tomb at the edge of the forest, the others are still the same as before. Li Ge twisted the wine in one hand and the cooking cake in the other, walked to the grave and knelt directly on the ground.

"Master, you have been taking care of me for more than ten years since I came here, and I didn't need to worry about doing anything before, but now that you are gone, I will be independent in the future. At this point, Li Ge sprinkled the wine from the jar on the grave.

"You often say that the most important thing in cultivating is to cultivate a normal mind, and I will keep it in mind for the rest of my life. Li Ge paused, and then smiled bitterly, "By the way, Master, yesterday I found that I don't need a talisman to practice magic now. Half a year ago, in the tomb under Shuanghuai Lake, since that little red fish got into the spiritual platform, I meditated with the set of cultivation mantras you passed on me, and many spells that I couldn't use before can now be cast......"

After muttering to himself, the night unconsciously covered the world, Li Ge knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed a few times, and went back to the bamboo building alone.

Three days later, in Jiangning, in a living room in the Thaumaturgical Pavilion, an old man lowered his head and was secretly sad, and Li Ge sat beside him and looked out of the house, his face full of sadness.

"Pavilion Master Jiang, although my master is gone, I will stay in the Thaumaturgy Pavilion in the future, if something strange happens, I will not give up my opinion. After a long time, Lige broke the silence in the room with a word.

"Okay~ Master Xiao Li, if you are willing to stay, the old man will thank you on behalf of the court today. Jiang Haotian raised his hand and saluted, and then said, "There is indeed a strange incident happening right now, I think this matter, maybe Master Li will know a thing or two." ”

"Something strange?" Li Ge hurriedly asked when he heard this, "What's the matter, Pavilion Master Jiang, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jiang Haotian hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master Li, do you still remember the strange incident that you and Lai Lao went to Pujiang Town to deal with at the end of last year?"

"Pujiang Town, I remember, I don't know what the Jiang Pavilion Master meant?" Li Ge asked suspiciously.

"That's right, a strange incident happened in Gusu County under Datong Prefecture more than a month ago, which is almost the same as what happened in Pujiang Town last year. Jiang Haotian sighed, got up and took two steps in the house, and continued, "A month ago, Master Nan of the Laoshan Sect took his apprentice to Gusu, but so far no reason has been found, so I think Master Xiao Li may know something about this." ”

"This ......" Li Ge heard this, and recalled in his mind what he and Master met in Pujiang Town, and after a moment of silence, he remembered what Master said: This matter is not so simple.

"Master Xiao Li, what did you and Lai Lao meet in Pujiang Town at that time?" Seeing that Li Ge spit out a word, he was silent for a long time and didn't speak, Jiang Haotian asked curiously.

"At that time, Master and I just killed a ghost creature in Pujiang Town, and then the matter calmed down. Li Ge responded, thought for a while, and said, "Then how is the situation now?"

"A few days ago, Master Nan sent a letter, saying that he and his apprentice couldn't find out the reason at all in Gusu City, so now they went to two more masters. ”

"Master said at the time that things are not that simple, but if you think about it carefully, if the current Gusu City is consistent with what happened in Pujiang Town at that time, it must be related. Li Ge secretly thought about it in his heart, and then got up and said, "Master Jiang, why don't you prepare a carriage for me to go to Gusu tomorrow, and I'll go and see if the things there are consistent with the things in Pujiang Town at that time." ”

"Okay~" Jiang Haotian nodded, glanced at the dark night outside the house, and then said, "Master Xiao Li, it's not early, you are tired of traveling, take a good rest tonight." ”

"Hmm~" Li Ge nodded, and under Jiang Haotian's greeting, he returned to the wooden building where he lived with his master before.

In the dead of night, the lights were dim, and Li Ge sat alone in the room where Lai Changsheng had lived before, recalling the scenes that had happened when he first came to this thaumaturgical pavilion with his master at the beginning of last year.

"Master, Yu Rou said that there are many small circles in this thaumaturgical pavilion, and now she and Aunt Xuanying are not here, nor are Qingxu seniors, nor are Eighteen, I didn't want to stay here. But you brought me here last year, and you probably want me to stay here. Li Ge stared at the oil lamp and whispered to himself.

Recalling the past in his mind, when the moon was empty outside the house, the young man fell asleep on the bed where his master slept before his death, and the dim oil lamp was silently extinguished with the sound of the young man's breathing.

Halfway through the ugly hour, in the dark room, the sleeping young man opened his eyes suddenly, took a deep breath, and then got up and sat cross-legged on the bed. Since he came out of the cemetery under Shuanghuai Lake half a year ago, he found that he had less time to sleep, and he only needed to sleep for one hour a day to be full of spirits.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Li Ge pondered, feeling his own spiritual platform, the dry lake before, at this time there was already a shallow small half-bend lake, and in the lake, there was a small red fish swimming happily. After perceiving it for a moment, he retracted his mind and silently recited the cultivation mantra of the cloth cloth sect. Then, one after another invisible, warm gas drilled into his body, condensed in his spiritual platform, and turned into a thick mist. Eventually, the fog grew thicker and thicker, turning into a little raindrop and falling into the lake.

After a few hours of practice, there was a knock on the door outside the wooden building, "Master Xiao Li, are you there?"

"Here comes the Jiang Pavilion Lord. Li Ge on the bed heard the sound, got out of bed and walked out of the hall and opened the door.

"Master Xiao Li, the carriage to Gusu is ready, you see when it will start. ”

"I'll leave now. Li Ge went back to the house to clean up the line, and then got into the carriage and left Jiangning.
