According to the agreement between the two, they left the renegade city on foot from the direction of the Eastern Outer City, a city with which Li Ge had an indissoluble bond.

After leaving the city, there is a mountain outside the city, and when Li Ge and Hanyan pass through this mountain, a large river about 30 zhang wide appears in front of them, and on the opposite side of the river, there is a vast plain area. As far as the eye can see, there is a small town in the middle of the plain across the river.

"This should be a diversion of the Chuwang River, but this river is too wide, and there are no boats in all directions, I think we are afraid that we will have to go around for a while. Standing by the river, he looked around with smoke and found that there were no boats on the river, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"There's no need to take a detour, I'll cross the river with my senior sister on my back. Hearing the light sigh of the smoke, Li Ge thought for a while and said such a sentence, but as soon as he said this, he immediately regretted it. Just because Hanyan is a woman, if you carry her across the river, I am afraid that this will make Hanyan a little embarrassed.

"You carried me over? I forgot, you have the ability to control water, okay, then trouble Senior Brother Li. Hearing Li Ge's words, Hanyan replied softly, without showing the slightest embarrassment.

"Hmm~" Seeing that Hanyan responded so generously, Li Ge nodded, and then he didn't think much about it, but put Hanyan on his back and walked towards the river.

Under this back, the distance between the two of them has never been so close, and the smoke on Li Ge's back was slightly red, and she wrapped her hands around Li Ge's body, looking at his side face up close. And Li Ge also had a hint of redness on his face after putting on Hanyan on his back, and being in such close contact with a woman was naturally quite embarrassing for him, but after thinking about it, Hanyan could be so generous, how could he think crookedly.

On the surface of the river, Li Ge silently stepped on the water with Hanyan on his back and walked towards the other side of the river, and when Hanyan saw Li Ge's slightly red face, he also knew that he must be very embarrassed in his heart, thought about it, and immediately opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassment, and said, "Senior Brother Li shouldn't know Chu Wangjiang." ”

"Chu Wangjiang?" Hearing Han Yan's words, Li Ge recalled in his mind that when he was reading books in Yangling Mountain before, he had seen the record of this river, and then said, "Is this Chu Wangjiang that Senior Sister said about the Chu Wangjiang that connects the twenty-four countries of Penglai." ”

"Well, it's this river, and I think the river we're on right now should be a diversion of that big river. After Hanyan opened the topic, the embarrassment between the two of them disappeared in an instant with the conversation.

After a few brief exchanges, Li Ge had already come to the other side of the river with the figure of Hanyan on his back, and after going ashore, Li Ge put down Hanyan.

"There is Senior Brother Lao Li. After getting off Li Ge's back, Hanyan looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky was already a little dark at this time, so he immediately looked at the town not far away, and said, "It's getting late now, why don't we go to that town to find a place to stay for the night." ”

"Hmm. After Li Ge answered, he and Hanyan walked towards the town that was still some distance away from them.

As the two of them got closer to the town, the night grew darker, and by the time they reached the edge of the town, it was completely dark.

Passing through a grove of knee-high grass, a wide road jutting out from the edge of the town appeared in front of them. As they walked down the road and looked in the direction of the road toward the town, a look of doubt appeared on their faces.

At a glance, he saw that there were no pedestrians or lights in the town, and the unusually quiet in the dark town did not make the doubts on the faces of the two of them even more intense.

"There should be no one in this town. After looking at him suspiciously for a moment, Li Ge took a few steps closer to the town, glanced back at the smoke, and continued, "I feel a thick death air. ”

"Hmm. Hearing Li Ge's words, Hanyan nodded in agreement, and then came to Li Ge's side and said to him, "Senior Brother Li, do you think we are looking for a place in this town to rest for a night tonight?"

"It's dark now, and there's nowhere else to go, so since we're here, let's stay here tonight. If it's different at night, let's look for an opportunity. Li Ge looked at Hanyan and replied, seeing that he nodded to himself, and then the two of them walked into the dark and unusually quiet town together.

After walking along the road for a while, the two found that the houses on the side of the road were overgrown with dense weeds, which showed that these houses were really uninhabited.

After walking for a while, the road under their feet forked again to form a three-way junction. And the other two roads at the intersection of the three forks, like the one they had just walked, were only more than a foot wide. In addition, on the edge side of the three-way intersection, there is also a stone tablet with the words 'Yining Town' engraved on it.

After walking to the stele and taking a look, and knowing the name of this town, Li Ge stood in the middle of the three-way road and turned around for a while, and then pointed to a house not far from the side of the road and said, "Senior Sister Hanyan, how about you think we live in that house tonight?"

Glancing at Li Ge's finger, Hanyan saw that it was an extremely ordinary house. The house is made of gray-white stone bricks, divided into two floors, and on the front side is a very strangely shaped tree.

"Okay, let's stay in that house for the night tonight. After a glance, Hanyan answered, and then walked towards the ordinary house with Li Ge.

Uninhabited for a long time, the door of this house is covered in dust and cobwebs. Walking to the door, Li Ge stretched out his hand and gently pushed the closed door, and then the door opened with a 'squeak~'.

After opening the door, there was a dark living room, and after Li Ge glanced at it, he took out the Vermilion Bird Stone from the Qiankun bag on his side, threw it into the room, and called softly, "Come out." Then, the remnant spirit of the Vermilion Bird came out and illuminated the inside of the house.

"Is this the spirit of the Vermilion Bird?" asked Hanyan with a hint of surprise after seeing the Suzaku summoned by Li Ge.

"Hmm. Li Ge nodded, and then walked into the house with both Hanyan. With the light emanating from Suzaku's body, Li Ge saw that there was a shrine platform placed against the wall in the middle of the living room of this house. And on top of the altar, there is also a dusty oil candle.

When he came to the oil candle, Li Ge blew on the oil candle, and after blowing the dust off it, he pinched a sacrificial fire and lightly clicked it, and the oil candle burned. Then he summoned the remnant of the Vermilion Bird, turned it into a Vermilion Bird Stone again, put it in the Qiankun bag, held an oil candle in one hand, and began to look at the dwelling with Smoke.
