Shen Luo left the town and soon came to the shore of the Lishui River.
Lishui River is very open, several miles wide, winding towards the lower reaches. At a glance, the mist is vast and the water is turbulent, like a huge dragon crawling on the ground.
He walked downstream along the surging river for a while, and a reed swamp appeared in front of him.
The reed marsh is not large, only seven or eight miles long. It is extremely tall and dense, but now it has become withered and yellow.
The river wind blows, and the reeds roll like water waves, making a loud swishing sound.
At this time, the sun had begun to set, the river began to become dim, and there was not a single boat. It seemed that the ghost was really frightened.
Shen Luo's eyes wandered around, he thought for a moment, then picked up Water-Treading Art, and explored the reed swamp, but found no trace of Yin Qi.
Unwilling to give in, he put a Ghost-Expelling Talisman on his body and walked around a few times, but still found nothing.
"It seems that this ghost is quite hidden." Shen Luo thought to himself. After leaving the river, he found a dry place on the bank and sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for nightfall.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from a distance, Shen Luo looked away, but the three Lin Family guests also came here.
The skinny and ugly man in the lead saw that Shen Luo looked a little unnatural, so he did not come up to provoke him. Instead, he led the two people behind him around Shen Luo and started exploring the reed swamp.
Shen Luo ignored the three of them and just closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, the three of them came back with disappointed expressions. Like Shen Luo, they found a place on the shore to sit down and wait.
As the sun was about to set, another man and a woman came to the vicinity of White Reed Marsh. The man was in his twenties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat heroic look between his eyebrows. The woman was only twenty-eight years old, wearing a goose-yellow short shirt, with a graceful figure and a delicate appearance.
The two of them wore a gray and white token around their waists with the word "Du" written on it.
"Ouyang Three Heroes! I didn't expect them to come too." The dark-skinned young man saw Lin Family's three guests from a distance, his face darkened, and he murmured to himself.
"Are they famous?" the girl in yellow shirt blinked and asked.
"Eldest brother Ouyang Tian is at the seventh level of Qi cultivation, and his two brothers are at the sixth level of Qi cultivation like you, but these three are practicing the evil tiger technique of Master Shahu, a famous casual cultivator in Black Rock Mountain back then. It's a bit tricky to work together." The young man explained softly to the girl.
At this time Ouyang Three Heroes also noticed the man and woman from the Du Family.
"It turns out to be Blue-Ice Hand Qi Yuan of the Du Family. Then this little girl must be Yan Li, Yellow Mountain Abbess's apprentice. It's better to hear than to see. She is such a little beauty." The skinny and ugly man Ouyang Tian stared at the girl as the evil light flashed away.
"No wonder Fasting Stage Blue-Ice Hand is also fascinated by Divine Soul. The little girl is indeed pretty, I feel pity for her!" The short, fat and ugly man swallowed and spit.
Yan Li's pretty face showed a trace of anger, and he was about to say something, but Qi Yuan raised his hand to stop him.
"The three of them are considered famous people. They should respect themselves so as not to disgrace Lin Family's reputation." Qi Yuan's face darkened and he said calmly.
"Blue-Ice Hand is serious. You and I Lin and Du Families have an irreconcilable relationship. What my brother said just now as a joke should not be taken seriously!" Ouyang Tian raised his hand to Qi Yuan and said haha.
Qi Yuan ignored Ouyang Three Heroes and glanced around casually. Then he noticed Shen Luo who was alone nearby. He glanced at Guest Minister Token at his waist and thought to himself, "My dear guest, Bai Family, this is a face I have never seen before."
"Brother Qi, according to what Chief Sun said, ghosts are haunting this area. Do we want to go and investigate?" Yan Li asked softly with an eager look in his eyes.
"They arrived before us, and they must have searched. Most likely they couldn't find any trace of the ghost. It would be in vain for us to search again. Let's wait until dark." Qi Yuan explained with a smile, and then took the girl to find a place to sit down.
Not long after, two more figures appeared at the mouth of the reed swamp, but they were Whitewater Daoist and Wu Tong.
"Ouyang Three Heroes! Blue-Ice Hand Qi Yuan!" Whitewater Daoist saw a trace of solemnity in his eyes when he saw everyone present.
Ouyang Three Heroes and Qi Yuan naturally saw Whitewater Daoist, but their eyes only glanced at them, obviously not taking them seriously.
Wu Tong's arm touched Daoist Bai Shui, and his chin twitched somewhere.
Whitewater Daoist looked in the direction pointed by Wu Tong, and saw Shen Luo sitting there quietly, sneering in a low voice, "This ignorant boy came quite early."
"He really thinks that by currying favor with the eldest young master, he will become a figure. Once they start fighting, he will realize how ignorant he is." Wu Tong immediately agreed.
While the two were talking, they found another open space away from the river bank and sat down cross-legged.
"Bai Family The two new people, why don't they sit with the previous people?" Yan Li asked a little strangely.
"Bai Family Ke Qing always likes to fight among himself, so there's nothing strange about it." Qi Yuan said with a smile.
The girl suddenly realized, glanced at the Bai Family and the others with disdain, closed her eyes, and rested her mind.
"Daoist Master, I didn't expect this Red Leaf Town mission to be so popular that it attracted both Ouyang Three Heroes and Qi Yuan. With the two of us, I'm afraid we can't compete with them." After sitting down, Wu Tong whispered in a voice that could only be heard by two people.
"It's good to have more people. If something happens to Shen Luo, it will be easy to find an excuse." Whitewater Daoist said with a low laugh.
"What the Daoist Master said is absolutely true!" Wu Tong rubbed his hands after hearing this and smiled.
Shen Luo sat there quietly with his eyes closed, never opening his eyes, and seemed not to notice that two more groups of people came around.
After about half an hour, night finally fell.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, covering the crescent moon that had just risen.
The wind on the river gradually became stronger, causing rolling waves. The sound from the reeds also became louder, mixing with the sound of the waves, making it seem a bit noisy.
At this moment, everyone by the river opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the center of the river.
The river water there suddenly burst into a series of bubbles, each bubble was filled with black yin energy, and a piece of black yin energy about ten feet in size quickly condensed on the river surface.
A shadow slowly emerges from the black air, but it is the figure of a woman wearing a red robe. Thick black air surrounds her body, and the denseness can be clearly felt even from a distance Yin Baleful Qi.
"What a fierce ghost, look at this posture, I'm afraid it's very close to Fasting Stage! Li'er, get ready Evil-Repelling Pearl, pay attention to safety, and take action as soon as I lure this ghost to the shore." Qi Yuan stared at the female ghost in red, took a slight breath, and stood up as soon as she moved.
A blue light flashed on his hand, and an ice-blue Flying Claw Talisman Artifact emerged.
Yan Li stood up quickly, chanting a spell in his mouth, and yellow light emitted from his sleeves.
