The potential underwater retreat for a month was the longest period of cultivation in Li Ge's life. In the past, he would meditate and practice at night every time, and even if he sometimes practiced during the day, it would only take three days at most.

During the period when Li Ge was potentially cultivating underwater, it also happened to be the seventh month of the world.

In July, the temperature of the hot summer was like a scorching temperature, and at the edge of a small city called Kangning Town on the border of Sichuan and Shu, three people hurriedly walked to the town. These three people are Wu Youqiu, Mao Eighteen and Jingchen.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you?" On the way into the town, Jingchen saw Mao Shibai walking beside him with a depressed face, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"No~ nothing, let's go into town quickly and find a place to go to the summer. Mao 18 shook his head and responded in a slightly sad tone.

"Third brother, if you have anything on your mind, just tell us about it, and see if Jingchen and I can help you think of a way. Glancing back at the red-clothed young man who was following behind him, Wu Youqiu said with concern.

"I'm with you every day, and I really don't have anything to worry about. Mao 18 shook his head helplessly, and then said, "It's just that this place makes me a little sad." ”

"Sad, third brother, have you been here before?" Hearing Mao Shiba's words, Wu Youqiu hurriedly asked.

"I've never been here, it's not far from here, and I went to Montenegro County more than two years ago. Mao Eighteen said in a quiet tone.

"Montenegro County? I see. Wu Youqiu sighed when he heard this, and then buried his head in leading the way.

Hearing the conversation between Wu Youqiu and Mao Eighteen, Jingchen was puzzled. I saw him touching his bare round head with one hand, looking at the eldest brother walking in front of him from time to time, and looking at the third brother walking beside him from time to time, after a while, he asked puzzledly, "Big brother, third brother, what's wrong with Montenegro County?"

"There's nothing to clean up, let's get into town. Wu Youqiu glanced back at the little monk behind him, shook his head at him, and motioned for him not to ask.

Jingchen saw his eldest brother's movements, and nodded along with it. After that, the three of them silently entered the town of Corning.

After entering the town, the three of them saw that the town was full of ruins and empty, but they did not show too surprised expressions. Because they knew what was going on here before they came.

Since the beginning of June this year, the town's residents have begun to die mysteriously for no apparent reason. Later, the magistrate of this town served the matter to the town of Yisi, and then Wu Youqiu and the three of them came here.

"The second brother has only been away for more than three months, and suddenly there are demons dancing in this world, and I don't know what happened to him in Penglai. Walking on the streets of the abandoned town, Wu Youqiu said with reminiscence.

"Yes, the second brother has been to Penglai for more than three months, and I don't know how he is doing. When Mao Eighteen heard this, he temporarily put the past aside, and echoed it with reminiscence.

"Amitabha, eldest brother, third brother, you don't have to worry, with the cultivation of the second brother, it should be fine. Jingchen heard the conversation between the two and comforted him.

"With the cultivation of the second brother, not to mention in our thaumaturgy pavilion, even in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are few people who can compare. But the place he went to was Penglai, although I didn't go to the legendary fairy island, but since the world calls it fairy island, we can't measure that place with our eyes. Wu Youqiu sighed bitterly, and then suddenly felt as if he had said the wrong thing, and then said, "Yes, he should be fine." ”

"Yes, the second brother's cultivation is profound, it will definitely be fine, I think I believe that in ten years, he will definitely come back to join us. Mao 18 nodded in agreement.

For Mao Shiba, Wu Youqiu and Jingchen are like his own brothers, and Li Ge is a person who is even closer to him than his own brothers. He can't say the truth about this, maybe it's a preconceived relationship, Li Ge and Lin Yurou are the closest people in his mind except for his master.

It's a pity that now one of the two of them is gone, and the other has gone to an ethereal place.

The three brothers felt cherished Li Ge, and after reminiscing, the three walked down the street to the middle of the town. At this moment, the footsteps of the three stopped at the same time.

After stopping, Wu Youqiu took two steps back, stood with his two younger brothers, and then whispered, "Have you found it?"

"He's been following us ever since we entered town. Mao Eighteen also whispered.

"Amitabha, eldest brother, third brother, what should we do now?" Obviously, Jingchen also noticed the strangeness behind him, and he also lowered his voice and asked the two brothers beside him.

"Don't panic, let's keep moving forward and ignore him for now. After Wu Youqiu replied, he glanced at Mao Shibai and Jingchen, and then laughed and said, "Jingchen, I know you're hot, this summer, we've been walking for so long, can you not be hot? Not to mention a little fat man like you." ”

"Amitabha, big brother, I'm not only hot, I'm hungry, let's find someone to sit down and eat." Hearing Wu Youqiu's words, Jingchen cleverly spoke.

"Why don't we go there and get some rest. Hearing this, Mao Eighteen deliberately amplified his voice, raised his hand and pointed to a house with a wide open door not far from them.

"Okay, let's go there and get some rest. Wu Youqiu nodded, and then the three brothers walked towards the house that Mao Shibai pointed to.

The house that the three of them entered was a very ordinary house, and there was a wooden fence about two zhang high outside the floor, and there was a small courtyard inside the fence, and behind the courtyard was a simple house.

Pushing open a wooden door in the fence, the three of them walked through the courtyard and went straight to the wide open house, where they sat down.

"What are you saying has been following us since we entered the town?"

"That thing can go up the tree, and it's extremely fast, I deliberately looked back, but I didn't see the figure of that thing, I think it should be a demon. Mao Eighteen thought about it and told what he knew in his heart.

"Well, I also agree with the third brother's statement, only a demon can do this. Jingchen nodded in agreement, and then said, "If it's not a demon, it's a ghost thing with extremely high cultivation." ”

"Yes, that's how it should be. Wu Youqiu nodded, and then asked, "Are you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of, we cultivators deal with ghosts and evil things as if it's commonplace. Mao Eighteen replied, and then asked the little monk beside him, "Jingchen, are you afraid?"

"The little monk is not afraid, it's just that the little monk is really hungry now. Jingchen shook his head and put one hand on his stomach, looking really hungry.

"Come on, eat something first, rest a little bit, we'll go out and meet that thing." Hearing Jingchen's words, Wu Youqiu hurriedly took off the burden behind him and took out some food from it. Then the three of them ate in the hall.
