"If there is really a demon in this river, and it is the demon who captured Senior Sister Hanyan, I think the place where it lives should not be far from the edge of Yining Town. Now that I'm here, I might as well go to the village and ask if there are any rumors of evil in this river. If not, then I'll go back downstream and look for it. With his mind set up, Lige walked straight to the village.

As he walked along the river towards the village for a while, he found an old woman by the river not far from the village, who was leading a cow and grazing it by the river.

"Old man, excuse me. Walking not far from the old woman, Li Ge stopped and said hello to her.

"Young man, is there something wrong?" Seeing Li Ge greeting himself with a smile on his face, the old woman looked at him a few times and asked with a smile.

"I want to ask you, what is this place?" After thinking about it, Li Ge was inconvenient to ask the doubts in his heart directly, but opened his mouth to ask a very ordinary question.

"We are here on the border of Yahui City, fifty miles down the river, and it is the territory of Renegade City. The old woman responded to Li Ge's question very enthusiastically.

"Oh, I see. Nodding in response, Li Ge didn't know what to say next, and after thinking for a while, he asked the doubts in his heart.

"Old man, let me take the liberty of asking, are there any weird rumors in this river?"

"Strange rumors, young man, what do you mean by weird?" the old woman asked in confusion.

"Hmm!" Li Ge nodded.

"No, I've lived in this area for decades, but I've never heard of any water spirits and ghosts harming people in this river. After the old woman responded to Li Ge's question, she immediately asked, "Young man, what do you do?"

"I ......" Hearing this question, Li Ge paused hesitantly, and then replied with a smile, "I am a bookmaker, and most of my books are related to mountain spirits and demons. I happened to be passing by here today and met you, so I took the liberty of asking you. ”

"It turned out to be a bookmaker. After hearing this, the old woman nodded in amazement, and stared at Li Ge carefully. Seeing that he was handsome and polite, he looked like a knowledgeable person, so he did not doubt what Li Ge said, but moved a few steps closer to Li Ge, and said enthusiastically, "Young man, since you are a bookmaker who travels to find knowledge, passing through us, you can be regarded as a guest from afar, if you don't dislike it, you might as well follow me back to the village and go to my house for a light meal." ”

Hearing the old woman's kindness, Li Ge saluted her very politely, and then said, "Don't dare to disturb, thank you for the kindness of the old man, I say goodbye here." ”

After saluting the old woman, Li Ge didn't wait for her to say anything, but turned around and went in the direction of the lower reaches of the river.

Seeing the back of Li Ge leaving, the old woman watched for a while, and suddenly said to herself in confusion, "Didn't that young man come from the direction of Apostasy City, why did he go back again?"

With this doubt, it was not until Li Ge's figure disappeared into the distance that the old woman withdrew her gaze, and saw that her cow was full, so she led the cow back to the village.

After leaving, Li Ge walked for a while, turned around and looked back, and found that he could no longer see the figure of the old woman, and then looked around again, and found that there was no one occupied, so he immediately jumped into the river, sank to the bottom of the water and began to gallop.

Before, because he had to look for it, Li Ge's actions were slow, but now he returned to the Jiangyuan Road that had been searched once, and the speed was naturally extremely fast.

Manipulating his mind, Li Ge's body was pushed forward by the water, and he returned from upstream to downstream, fueled by the momentum of the current, at this time, Li Ge under the water was like a water ghost, and his speed was several times faster than a young man running with all his might on a stable land.

In a hurry, more than half an hour later, a squatting stone sculpture at the bottom of the lake caught his attention, and after discovering the squatting stone statue, he stopped, and then emerged from the bottom of the water.

"It's not far from the edge of Yining Town, if there is really a water demon, it should be downstream here. "When Li Ge started to search upstream, he left the edge of Yining Town not long ago, but he came across this squatting stone sculpture at the bottom of the river, and now he is encountering it, which proves that he is about to return to the original point.

Moving his eyes around, this time Li Ge did not dive underwater, but stood on the surface of the river with his hands in his hands. Controlling the water, supporting his body, he moved forward in parallel.

Since Yining Town was already empty, Li Ge was not worried that anyone would find him, and he regarded him as a demon and ghost.

After moving over the river for a while, Li Ge came to the place where he had crossed the river with Han Yan yesterday. Stopping at the origin point and taking a look, his body sank to the bottom of the lake, and slowly moved forward in a zigzag shape to search.

This time, it didn't take long to find a shell at the bottom of the river. The shell was not an ordinary shell, but a large round shell with a diameter of about a foot wide. The body of the big shell was muddy gray, and half of its body was hidden in the mud at the bottom of the river, and it would not have been possible to find the big shell if it had not been for Li Ge's extremely careful search.

"I can't imagine that there are such big shells in this world. Standing next to the big shell and stopped, Li Ge circled around it, and then stretched out his foot and lightly tapped on the cover of the shell, seeing that it did not reflect in the slightest, and he did not feel the slightest demonic aura of this shell, so he did not stop for long, and continued to search downstream.

Half a day passed, and when the light above the water gradually dimmed, Li Ge's heart was filled with disappointment and despair.

"What kind of demons are there in this river? Could it be that those monsters in the jungle are lying to me?" Thinking of this, Li Ge's already complicated heart couldn't help but ignite a nameless anger, but he thought again, "It's impossible, if they lie to me, aren't you afraid that I will seek revenge from them?" But I've been looking for it since last night, at least for a day and a half, and I haven't found the slightest strangeness at the bottom of the river. ”

After searching for so long, there was still no result, and Li Ge at the bottom of the river came out of the water with a sad face and walked towards the bank of the river.

At that time, the sun had already set, and the night was gradually beginning to wrap around the earth, and on the bank of the river, there was an occasional breeze blowing, blowing Li Ge's robe slightly swaying, reflecting a very lonely picture, and also reflecting his mood at this time.

"I've been searching along the river for so long, except for the purple water snake I encountered, which is a little weird, there is only that big shell. Aside from these two things, I really can't think of anything strange at the bottom of the river. Li Ge muttered to himself on the bank of the river, and then he made up his mind that he would go back along the river to take a closer look at the big shell.
