I don’t know what Xu Changsheng did to Xue Nan. Xue Nan refused to go with him along the way.

It wasn't until he walked out of Zian County that Xue Nan came over reluctantly.

Xu Changsheng didn't bother to pay attention, and while looking around, he walked in the direction on the Kanyu map.

…

And on the other side.

Wu Sheng and the others went to Li Mansion at dawn, while Hong Nanlan stayed in the inn to recuperate.

Sitting alone in the inn, she frowned. Except for herself, no one knew that she had deduced the origin of Xu Changsheng. She was not going to say it, after all, the result of the derivation was too shocking.

In fact, what Wu Sheng and Shui Die didn't know was that as soon as Quan Hao arrived, she had deduced his origin.

It’s just that I didn’t say it.

Because Hong Nanlan didn't feel any malice in him.

But this time it was not necessarily the case. After thinking for a long time, she took out a piece of white paper from the mustard thing and silently wrote a few words. Then she took out a paper bluebird, folded the white paper into small pieces and stuffed it into the belly of the bluebird.

, a gentle rub of his right hand ignited a flame, and the blue bird and white paper turned into ashes.

After finishing everything, she stood by the window, looking at the mountains and rivers in the north, lost in thought.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.

Wu Sheng and the others did not go directly to the Li Mansion. Instead, they found a restaurant outside and summoned a maid from the Li Mansion, but it was not Lu'e.

After some questioning, the three sent the maid back and hurried out of the city.

…

Within the Li Mansion.

After listening to Lu'e and the maid's reply, Li Yanguang pondered for a moment, then went back to the back hall and crushed a communication charm.

…

The bigger the day gets higher.

By the Qingli River, Xu Changsheng was looking around, while Xue Nan casually cast a small spell and wandered on both sides of the Qingli River.

"Old Xu, what year is the Nakan map you bought? It must be from ancient times, right?" Xue Nan floated over from the other side of the river again.

Xu Changsheng shook his head silently, Xue Nan was the only one who worried about him.

"Why don't you find someone to ask."

The boy carrying the sword looked at the wild mountains on both sides of the bank, "Looking for someone here? It would be faster to find a ghost."

"Then why don't we just call out the Qingli River God?" Xue Nan really didn't want to look for him anymore.

The vast wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see.

"Darui's rule is that only rivers in a county can have river gods. So what kind of cultivation does this river god have?" Xu Changsheng stopped and asked.

Xue Nan pondered for a moment, "The starting point of the spiritual platform is mostly due to distraction."

Xu Changsheng stopped replying and continued walking forward.

There are mostly mountains on both sides of the river, but the bank really close to the river is a green plain, and at this moment, no matter how green the land is, it has turned yellow.

"Old Xu, look ahead." Xue Nan suddenly shouted.

Turning around, I saw a few ruins on the open space by the river.

The two looked at each other and took one step to get close.

I didn't rush in and looked around at the door.

There is a path paved with bluestones in front of the broken wall, one leading to the two of them, and the other leading to the Qingli River. Two broken stone pillars can be seen in front of the vaguely discernible main entrance, and the broken wall behind is made of yellow mud.

made.

"It seems that this place is the Nahe Temple."

"Why did it become a ruins?"

"Let's go and take a look first."

The whereabouts of the statue of the river god that was originally enshrined are unknown, and even the shrine has disappeared. Only four mud walls that are about to collapse are left.

In the remote corners, there are still stubborn weeds squeezing out from the gaps.

After walking through several ruins, nothing unusual was found, so the two had no choice but to go outside again.

"Perhaps it is the ruins of the River Temple of the previous dynasty, but the locals used to call this place the River Temple, so the people who drew the map added it again."

"That's the only way to explain it. In short, it can't be the Heshen Temple in Xizhou County."

If this is true, then neither the current location nor the old location could be in such dilapidated condition.

"Can you hold your breath? The kind that really holds your breath." Xu Changsheng spoke very fast.

"able"

The young man carrying the sword grabbed him, tore off a piece of cloth from his body and threw it into the turbulent river, then dodged and entered the forest nearby.

After landing, Xue Nan put his hand into his sleeve, took out a dull bird and placed it on his head, then squatted down silently. In the blink of an eye, Xu Changsheng's breath disappeared from Xu Changsheng's perception. Instead, there was someone squatting next to him.

A little bird.

As for Xu Changsheng, the moment he landed, Xue Nan no longer sensed his presence.

"They are coming." Xu Changsheng said through a telegraph line.

I saw three figures slowly walking out on the road when the two came, it was Wu Sheng and the other three whom they had met many times.

"Why don't you see the warlock today?" Xue Nan said in a message.

"I don't know, just take a look first."

And on the bank of Qingli River.

Wu Sheng, who arrived late, frowned, "I clearly noticed the auras of those two people on the way. Why did they disappear just as soon as they came?"

"Quan Hao, Shui Die, please be careful."

After saying that, the three of them also entered the Heshen Temple ruins. Unlike Xu Changsheng and the other two, they held Zhang Fulu in their hands after entering. They walked back and forth in several ruins for a while, and they were still in each ruin.

After lighting a few pillars of green wood incense, I finally went out to the river and threw the talisman into the Qingli River.

After the talisman drawn on paper fell into the river, it did not go down the river, but sank straight down.

"Brother Wu, what is this?" Quan Hao asked in confusion.

Wu Sheng did not hide his secrets and explained: "This one is called the 'Throwing Stones to Ask for Directions' Talisman. We first burned green wood incense in the river temple, and also used this talisman to offer sacrifices, and then threw this talisman into the river."

inside."

"Then why is it called throwing stones to ask for directions?"

Wu Sheng smiled, not knowing whether he was laughing at the ignorance of the Immortal family or at his superb skills, "If the river god is still here, he will send this talisman to the river again and burn it up. If the river here

If the god changes his position, or if the river god disappears, then this talisman will sink to the bottom of the river on its own."

Quan Hao nodded, and the three of them stared at the river on the bank.

"Have you found it?" Wu Sheng said via voice message.

"The two of them went downstream along the Qingli River." The sweet voice of the water butterfly sounded in Wu Shengxin Lake.

Did they find something else in the river temple? It shouldn't be? Wu Sheng frowned.

"There's some movement." Quan Hao whispered.

I saw a talisman slowly rising from the slightly turbid Qingli River, and it began to burn the moment it came out of the water.

"It seems that the river god is still in Qingli River."

"No, Brother Wu, look." Shui Die exclaimed.

I saw the stone-throwing talisman burning after it came out of the water, but when it was half burned, it suddenly went out, fell into the water again, and flowed down the water.

"What's going on?" Quan Hao frowned and turned around to ask.

Wu Sheng remained silent.

And in the mountains and forests on the side.

Every time Wu Sheng made a move, Xue Nan explained to Xu Changsheng, even the "throw"

The origin of "Shi Wen Road Talisman" was clearly explained to him.

It is said that there was a young man in ancient times who was very good at making talismans, but he was very timid. Once while traveling in the barren mountains at night, he strayed into a natural maze and could not find his way back.

He took out the talisman paper on the spot, drew a talisman and threw it forward.

The talisman burned and showed him the way out.

After walking out of the maze, the mountain god from that place showed up and had a long conversation with him. Finally, he asked if the talisman had a name.

The young man shook his head as he walked.
