Huang Quan's companion

Chapter 67

Dead man's ditch is not far away, and the magic stick can rush there in a short while, but Shi Tianning and Wan Niang are always on the mind along the way.The two of them clearly said that they would look for them after Ruyi and his party left, but they haven't seen their shadow until now.

Could it be that he went to Zhu's house?

He thought about it, feeling very uneasy, and decided to go to Jishan County first.

The county town seemed to be the same as usual, the god stick frowned faintly all the way, how could this county town be so peaceful?The sky after the snow is dark blue, with a few thin clouds floating, and the full moon hanging high in the sky—a rare clear winter night.Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Zhu family stood quietly in the county town covered with white snow. The red mist in the air had long since dissipated, and there was not even a trace of bloody smell.

The god stick entered Zhu's house, but found that there was no body here, only messy footprints and blood stains remained on the ground.He walked around Zhu's house for a few times, still a little inexplicable, when he left the house, he found the seal on the door - it turned out that people from the government had been there.

There was a bloody case here, Zhu's family was wiped out, the government sent people to collect the corpses, and the case will be started in the future, but the Zhu family is involved with ghosts, and the Yamen may have a headache.

Since Shi Tianning and Wan Niang were not found, the magic stick didn't stay any longer, and turned to the Dead Man's Valley.But he kept an eye out and released a spirit-seeking talisman to let it find the traces of Shi Tianning and Wan Niang.

The spirit-seeking talisman is a small spell handed down from the underworld. It is similar to the talisman that Yang Jinshu cast on Fu Lan that day, but this kind of spirit-seeking talisman can find specific spirits and is often used for tracking.

After releasing the spirit-seeking talisman, he went straight to the ditch of the dead.Standing by the river for a long time, he suddenly remembered one thing - the hill beside the river is the mass grave, they made such a big commotion before, why didn't the ghosts of the mass grave come to see the commotion?He retracted the leg that was about to step into the river, and turned up the mountain to find Lao Liu.

Old Liu is a know-it-all at Mass Burial Mound, so maybe he knows more about Dead Man’s Ditch.

The mass grave has lost its previous bustle, and there are a few ghosts floating here and there, most of them are lying on their own graves basking in the moonlight, and some ghosts with weak mana can't even get out of their graves, lying in the soil with themselves. corpse for company.

Because Lao Liu's wooden monument was destroyed, it took Shengu a lot of effort to find him among the many graves. As expected, he hid in the coffin and took a nap. Didn't you get caught by your apprentice?"

"What do you mean by taking it back? I'm..." Shen stick didn't intend to explain, but squatted in his coffin and asked him, "Why are you hiding here?"

"Oh, you don't know, something happened in the Dead Man's Ditch in the middle of the night!" Old Liu approached mysteriously, "I heard from some ghosts that they saw the water in the Dead Man's Ditch swallowing ghosts passing by! My God, even the dead man's ditch The water has been cultivated to become fine, and there is no way to stay in this mass grave... I was thinking, hide in the coffin first, and if the water demon really wants to eat ghosts, eat other ghosts first!"

"..." The corner of Shengun's mouth twitched, "Uncle Liu, the devoured ghosts you mentioned are He Tang and Jin Shu."

"..." Old Liu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?"

"You heard me right, they are those two little enemies." Shenzhu sighed and stood up, "I thought you had been in the mass grave for a long time, so you might know about the dead man's ditch, it seems... I can only take a risk Take a trip by yourself."

Old Liu was still lying on his shriveled bones and asked, "Where are you going? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to jump into the dead man's ditch to see where I will be taken." The magic stick said, "I don't believe they will just disappear."

"You...what are you thinking?" Old Liu couldn't help but stand up, "Dead Man's Valley is very dark, but it's an evil place after all, if you go there and never return..."

"Then what can we do? We can't just leave them alone, can we?" The magic stick sighed, "I can't just sit idly by when we're friends. Even if they really want to end up, it's time for them to go through hell. How can you be harmed by the dirty things in the dead man's ditch after reincarnation?"

Old Liu looked at him and said with a smile, "You have a good relationship with them."

The magic stick smiled: "I just think that people like me can't die well, they are both good boys, or... go through the last journey well, so... it's worthwhile to come to this world. "

"If you are willing to go to the underworld to reincarnate, why can't you die well?" Old Liu strongly disagreed with what he said, "You have never harmed anyone, let alone killed anyone, and you were killed by your own disciples. The underworld treats you like this." It is best to plant a ghost, and you can cast a good fetus in your next life."

The magic stick teased: "So I'm still a good person?"

"of course."

Shenzhu smiled softly, but said: "How can I be considered a good person..."

Lao Liu's persuasion was ineffective, so he could only sigh: "Are you really going?"

"Ah."

"Then I will accompany you."

The magic stick was surprised: "You are an old man, why don't you sleep in the coffin, why are you walking around with me? This is not easy, you have been a good person for so many years, are you addicted?"

Lao Liu was ridiculed by him, and annoyed: "Could it be possible that you treat them as friends? I welcome you little devils!"

"Yes, old man." The magic stick laughed, "I'm afraid that your body is weak and you won't be able to endure the pain of hell."

"Oh, don't look down on the old man, I have lived in this mass grave for hundreds of years, and I know more than you little devils!"

hundreds of years?Shen stick's heart moved, and he asked: "Uncle Liu, since you have lived here for so long, have you heard of other legends about Dead Man's Valley?"

"Yes, there are, but there are too many, and I can't tell the real from the fake." After all, Lao Liu still felt that he was too aggrieved in the coffin, so he dragged him to sit on the grave outside, and said, "I heard the errand tell me However, the Dead Man’s Valley has absorbed the rotten smell of the dead for many years, and there have been many fights between new ghosts and evil ghosts, that place is no longer the boundary of the mortal world, and even the underworld can smell the stench of the river.”

"Underworld?" The magic stick raised his voice, "You mean... this dead man's ditch can lead to the underworld?"

"I don't know, but...it's very possible." Lao Liu explained, "You and I are both dead people, and we have already half-stepped into the gate of ghosts when we become ghosts, but it is not so simple to really enter the underworld. We wandered In the mortal world, the underworld doesn't accept them, if you really want to go in, I'm afraid... you won't be able to come back."

"..."

Can't come back?The magic stick is a little distracted.If he really can't come back... Will Min Yuejun chase him to the underworld?

"Wait, you... can you go?" Lao Liu stared at the flame imprint on his wrist, "Didn't your apprentice give you the spirit-strengthening formula, so you can't stay too far away from him?"

"This is used by cultivators to catch ghosts. I entered the underworld, and the Guling Jue is useless." The magic stick covered his wrist with his sleeve, "The underworld is very dark, and the little Guling Jue won't work at all. "

Old Liu came to a sudden, and after a while, he tentatively asked: "Your clothes...is it a gift from your apprentice?"

"……Um."

"Willing." Old Liu paused for a moment, but said honestly, "The clothes you used to wear were really ugly."

"...Warlocks all dress up like that, I have professionalism."

"Did you hear the term professionalism from He Tang?"

"Ah."

"I thought your apprentice's dress was considered professional."

"Uncle Liu, you can't open your eyes and talk nonsense just because he is a little more handsome than me."

"He's more than a little handsomer than you."

"..." The magic stick rolled up his sleeves, "It's time to throw you into the ditch of the dead!"

The two laughed and went down the mass grave and came to the ditch of the dead. The water in the river was still dark and there was no ripple.

The magic stick instructed: "Uncle Liu, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, tell them quickly. If you are buried here, I can do it for you."

"I don't have any last wish..." Old Liu thought it was wrong, he turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean..." the magic stick laughed dryly, "how about... would you invite me first?"

"..."

Shenzhu coughed dryly twice: "That... let me go first."

Old Liu didn't argue with him. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped into the water, followed closely by the magic stick.

Like Yang Jinshu and He Tang, they stood in the water for a long time without moving, but when they turned their heads to leave the water and land, the river suddenly swirled and entangled them.They both felt a strong suction rising from their feet, pulling them down.

Shen stick thought of the body-protecting qi that He Tang released at that time, but felt that it might not be useful, so he didn't put in much effort.Maybe they were too obedient, the gravity of the river water weakened, but they still didn't let them escape.

"Master!" A roar came from the shore.

The magic stick looked intently, and it turned out to be Min Yuejun who was supposed to be resting on the bed!

"You... why are you here?" He was a little stunned.

"Where are you going?" Min Yuejun was in a panic, coughed twice while clutching his chest, glared at him and said, "I tricked you back because I didn't want you to go through this muddy water, why did you still come?!"

"That's why you begged me to take you away...it was..." Shen stick didn't know what to say for a moment.

Min Yuejun straightened up and stretched out his hand: "Come back!"

Shenzhu looked down at his body which was half submerged in the water, and smiled wryly: "I'm like this...why?"

"I'll bring you back with Fuxue!" Min Yuejun pulled out his long sword and exerted force with his right hand. The sword instantly produced three beams of light, one disc and one disc, and they reached the middle of the river. He said anxiously, "You stepped on the sword , I will pull you back!"

His spiritual power was already damaged, so forcing the long sword is simply asking for his own death!The magic stick raised his hand to push away the sword light, and said calmly: "Yue Jun, this stagnant water leads to the underworld. I will rescue Hetang and Jinshu. Uncle Liu and I are both ghosts. It is not a problem to enter the underworld. You are a mortal. Obediently recuperate and wait for my return."

"No!" Min Yuejun didn't believe him at all, and looked at him angrily, "You never came back after you left last time! This time...do you want to abandon me again?"

"I..." Shen stick had a terrible headache, and the water had covered his shoulders, so he could only hurriedly explain, "I didn't abandon you, I went to save my friend! Wait for me to come back..."

The ending sound disappeared, and he and old Liu Qiqi submerged in the water.

The huge black vortex gradually disappeared, and the river surface became calm again.

The long sword fell to the ground, and Min Yuejun watched him disappear before his eyes, and murmured: "Go and save them...then...why don't you come and save me?"
