strongest partner

To be honest, Fang Shaoyan has not had a good impression of those so-called ascetics since what happened in Qingluo Mountain last time. Of course, people can’t take it out of context and beat a group of people to death with a stick. There are still many good people among ascetics. , For example, the student I met on the bus last time, and Qingli...

Just as he was thinking, those two people had already walked up to Qingli and Fang Shaoyan, clasped their fists together, and asked, "Two fellow daoists, where are you from?"

Qingli made an inscrutable gesture, and said with a smile, "Naturally, he came from where he should have come."

The two people were obviously choked by Qingli's words, and their expressions twitched a little. Fang Shaoyan secretly laughed, his apprentice also played cards out of common sense.

The faces of the two people froze for a moment, then they said with a smile: "We are guests from afar, since the two fellow Taoists are here, how about having a cup of tea in the house?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Fang Shaoyan and Qingli followed the two middle-aged Taoists, crossed the stone bridge, and came to the antique house. When they opened the door, a scent of sandalwood rushed towards them.

The furnishings in the house are also modeled after ancient scenes and objects, such as the pear wood Eight Immortals table, mahogany carved railings and windows, and calligraphy and paintings hanging in the lobby. Any object is of great value no matter whether it is placed in ancient times or in modern times.

After Qingli entered the house, she smiled, "It seems that the two fellow Taoists are very fond of antiques and the like. Every scene and everything in this house has a quaint taste. To build such a I'm afraid the house is not easy, right?"

The two Taoists smiled awkwardly, invited them to sit down, and said with a smile: "This is not our place to live, but a young master specially asked someone to build it. We are just entrusted by someone to help him guard it. That's all!"

Two well-cultivated Taoist priests helped people look at the courtyard. Who would believe this? !

Maybe they didn't even believe it themselves, so they explained: "Well, the young master said that this place is not clean, let us help get rid of those things..."

Qingli suddenly became interested, and said: "Before, I also felt that the river here was very dark. Presumably there should be ghosts and ghosts haunting this area? I want to know, what is the reason for this?"

When the two Taoists heard this, their faces were a little unnatural, "This...we are also investigating...haven't found out the reason yet..." "Oh, is that so..." Qingli rolled his eyes a few times, Said: "If you don't dislike it, how about letting us stay and investigate together? Speaking of which, I also came out to practice with the master, so I just took this opportunity to test my ability!"

The corner of Fang Shaoyan's mouth twitched a few times. This kid's acting level is really comparable to Qi Mu's!

Those two people obviously showed some hesitation on their faces, "This... This place is indeed a bit mysterious... With the ability of the two of us, we haven't figured out the reason yet, I think you two are young, I'm afraid... I'm afraid ..."

"Hehehe, the two fellow Taoists are judging people by their appearance. You can't judge a person's true cultivation base just by looking at his appearance. If you don't give it a try, why do you two think we can't do it?"

"I'm ashamed and ashamed! It's true that we are superficial! If you two want to stay and help, we will be more than happy to do so. In this case, I will arrange a place for you two. Please come with me!" One of the older ones The old man came in from outside the door. When the two middle-aged Taoists saw the old man coming in, their attitude immediately became respectful, "Uncle!"

The old man who came in had a white beard and white hair, and was wearing a robe of the same style as the two of them. age people.And hearing those two people call him Senior Brother, the seniority of this old man must be a generation higher than them!

After the old man came in, he took a look at Fang Shaoyan and Qingli, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, young people, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Do you know the consequences of staying here?"

Hearing the old man speak so seriously, the two of them were at a loss. They didn't know whether the old man was making alarmist talk or there was something hidden in it.

Qingli smiled, and said: "Well, we also broke into here by mistake. We don't know the situation here, but feel that this place is very dark, please tell me what's going on here, senior?"

"What's the matter with Ha Neng, it's haunted! There are so many ghosts here! Too many ghosts can't be wiped out!" The old man snorted coldly, his attitude was a little cold, "I'll tell you first, there are too many ghosts here, There are also monsters who have gone on to Taoism, which are not something ordinary people can deal with. If you encounter danger, we have no confidence in your safety!"

"Don't worry, everyone! We will never implicate you! If we are really in danger, even if we are not good at learning, we deserve our lives if we lose our lives!" Qingli vowed.

"Okay." The old man seemed to be waiting for this sentence, "Since this is the case, life and death are fate. If the two of you are in danger, don't blame the old man for not reminding you!" The old man walked out the door, turned his head and said to the two: "I'll take the two of you to familiarize yourself with the environment here. At night, it's not so peaceful here!"

Fang Shaoyan and Qingli looked at each other, and followed behind them.

The entire courtyard was built according to the ancient pattern. The courtyard is very large, with four or five attics. There are rockery and ponds in the garden, and it is full of poetic and picturesque atmosphere.

When the old man led the two of them through the pond, he said, "The water here is connected to the river outside. At night, there will be many water ghosts coming out of it!"

"Water Ghost?" Fang Shaoyan exclaimed, "Is it any different from Water Ghost?"

"Master, have you seen Shui Mei?" Qing Li asked nervously, "Where did you see it? Have you...were you wet?"

Fang Shaoyan shook his head, "I'm fine. What happened last night, Ah Hao and the others were attacked by the water charm by the moat, and because of Huang Ruo, the water charm attached to Ah Hao was forced out of his body! Well... not bad..."

Hearing this, Qingli finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Speaking of water ghosts, they are people who once died in the water. Wronged souls cannot live without water, and cannot be reincarnated. The resentment lingers and eventually becomes a water ghost! Rumor has it Water ghosts will pull people playing by the river to become scapegoats, so that they can have a chance to reincarnate, and those who are regarded as scapegoats must find another scapegoat, and the cycle repeats. People who die in the water every day are ignored. Count! The water charm is actually a monster that has accumulated the resentment in the water for a long time and turned into a monster. It has attack power but has no substance. It is very difficult to transform into an entity, so they can only obtain their own bodies by devouring other people's bodies!"

Fang Shaoyan lowered his head, as if thinking of something, "Really?"

"Well. What's the matter, master?"

"In this way, then... is it the same for Yingmei?" Fang Shaoyan remembered that Mo Xiangyang once mentioned Qi Mu's past, saying that he was transformed into Yingmei by his own divine power, and that in the wilderness, the weak cannibalize the strong. Place is just a lowly Shadow Charm, how did it become so strong today?

"The same is true for Yingmei! Yingmei is like Shuimei, it is very difficult to cultivate into a real body, but if they swallow other people's bodies, they will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Fang Shaoyan was horrified, and there was a faint thought in his mind. Qi Mu was able to cultivate from a low-level Yingmei to a half-god and half-demon monster in a short period of time. Also devoured other people's bodies? ?

Thinking of this, Fang Shaoyan felt a little chilly in his heart, he knew, he knew that Qi Mu was not a kind person, but when he had such speculations in his heart, he still felt a little uncomfortable...

"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Qingli noticed that his expression was not quite right, and hurriedly supported his slightly shaking body.

Fang Shaoyan's face was pale, and he forced a smile, "No... nothing..."

The old man walked in front, pointed to the small attic on the far side, and said: "Did you see that, in that attic, there are beautiful witches singing and dancing there every night, if you don't have enough concentration , will be confused by them!"

Qing Li narrowed her eyes and laughed, "Ah. Could it be that senior was also bewitched?"

When the old man heard this, there was a hint of anger on his face, "Is this old man that kind of superficial layman?"

"Just kidding! Senior, of course you are not that kind of person, but why is your face so red, senior?"

"The old man was exposed to the sun!" The old man shook his sleeves and said angrily: "The old man has something to do, so let's go first! You can go shopping slowly by yourself! When you want to rest at night, walk straight ahead until You can take a nap in the third attic, but you can't sleep after twelve o'clock!"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Fang Shaoyan hurriedly stopped him, "Senior, I want to ask, will the owner of this house come back tonight?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said: "This place is so haunted by ghosts, how could that young master come back? He said that when all the ghosts here are wiped out, he will come back to live!"

"Oh." What a wayward rich man!

The old man left Zhihu, leaving only two people standing in the courtyard.

The breeze gently brushed the hair ends of the two of them, Qingli looked around, and chuckled, "This is indeed a strange place..." Fang Shaoyan seemed to be preoccupied, and did not say a word.

Qingli noticed something was wrong with Fang Shaoyan, and asked, "Master, are you... not feeling well?"

Fang Shaoyan came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I was just thinking about something, Qingli, what did you just say?"

Qingli sighed helplessly, "Hey, forget it, let's talk about it later, master, what's on your mind, tell me, maybe I can help you solve it?"
