The cold moonlight fell, covering the entire Yangcheng like frost.
Two figures bathed in the moonlight, walking on the street.
It was Luo Xiu and Jiao Sai who came out to perform the mission.
Luo Xiu was carrying the black cat Qiqi on his shoulders, and was wearing a white robe with cloud patterns. His handsome appearance had a faint smile, and he was chatting with Jiao Sai about tonight's mission.
Different from the last mission in the Taiyin Mountains, this time the mission is in Yangcheng, and there will basically be no risks. Even if an accident does occur, people can be shaken, so whether it is Jiao Sai or Luo Xiu
It's all very easy.
"Brother Jiao, aren't there imitations of Jiuding in Yangcheng to suppress it? How could there be ghosts?"
Luo Xiu asked curiously.
Hearing this, Jiao Sai explained: "Although there are Jiuding imitation devices in Yang City to suppress luck and prevent all kinds of evil things, it is impossible to cover every corner of such a large city, especially some special nodes, such as heavy Yin Qi.
Or maybe in a place connected to the outside world, it is normal for evil things to be born by chance.
However, most of these evil creatures are of average strength and only dare to come out at night.
The banshee we have to deal with this time is over at Crescent Lake. According to the clues investigated by the spiritual officers, it seems that a young lady refused to be forced by her family and committed suicide by jumping into the river."
"So miserable?"
Luo Xiu was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect the plot to be so bloody.
"It is said that the young lady was pregnant. Her parents pressed her, but she refused to tell the man's name, which led to this tragedy."
Jiao Sai curled his lips and said with some disdain.
"The man never showed up?"
Luo Xiu asked.
"If it had happened, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Poor little lady is blind and was deceived in vain."
Jiao Sai sighed softly and complained for this little lady.
Scumbag... Luo Xiu commented in his heart, but continued to ask: "Didn't you find out the man's identity?"
"There is no proof of death, how to investigate? By the time our spiritual government intervened, the little lady had already turned into a ghost."
"After a woman dies, she turns into a ghost. Although she still has some sense and memory, most of them are filled with hatred for the people who forced her to death. It is really difficult to learn the truth from a ghost. Generally speaking, most ghosts are...
The deceased were transformed by their obsession and resentment. In other words, they are all dead-headed and have difficulty communicating."
Jiao Sai spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.
understood.
Luo Xiu nodded and roughly sorted it out in his mind: An ignorant girl was tricked into becoming pregnant by a scumbag, and her parents forced her to reveal the man's name. She would rather die than do so and committed suicide by jumping into the river.
This plot seems very stupid and silly, but love is not always like this, especially for women in ancient times who have never read books or surfed the Internet. When they encounter love, they feel that they have encountered everything and are harmed by scumbags.
I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage, and I even hate my parents.
In fact, this is the same whether it is modern or ancient times.
Love is something that never makes sense.
It's a pity that I couldn't experience it even if I wanted to... Luo Xiu sighed in his heart, but asked: "How will we deal with that female ghost later?"
"Kill them immediately, because of this female ghost, several people died in the Crescent Lake area."
Jiao Sai's eyes flashed slightly and he said calmly.
It is natural for ghosts to harm people, because most of them were harmed by people during their lives, so after turning into ghosts, they will instinctively harm people instead of directly seeking revenge. There are very few people who have reason after turning into ghosts.
"……understood."
Luo Xiu nodded and responded.
…
Crescent Lake.
A lake in the south of Yangcheng is named Crescent Lake because its shape resembles a crescent moon.
The scenery around it is beautiful, especially at night.
I don’t know whether it is the moon in the sky or the moon in the water.
There have been many humans and monsters coming here in the past, but recently, this place has seemed a bit lonely and desolate. Just because ghosts appeared in this lake, many children were dragged in one after another, causing this area to become a restricted area. , controlled by the border troops and spiritual officials in the city.
Sure enough, the city is still safe.
When Luo Xiu saw this scene, he muttered in his heart.
Comparing the Taiyin Mountains, Yangcheng obviously pays more attention to this matter, so it is not without reason that the housing prices in Yangcheng are high, and the closer to Lingfu, the higher the prices.
Fortunately, Luo Xiu doesn't need to worry about this. After detecting his spiritual roots, he can just check in with his bags.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included.
If you want to marry a wife in the future, Daqian can also arrange the allocation, but the allocated wife will generally not be a monk.
"Junior brothers, please keep an eye on the surrounding area."
After Jiao Sai arrived, he made skillful arrangements, asking his junior disciples who were incapable of fighting to carry formation flags and talismans to seal off the area around Crescent Lake, while he took Luo Xiu directly towards Crescent Lake.
Soon, the two came to the lake.
The silent lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the moon in the sky.
"What's next?"
Luo Xiu looked at Jiao Sai and asked inexperiencedly.
Jiao Sai looked at Luo Xiu, raised his head slightly, and motioned Luo Xiu to extend his head towards the lake, and explained: "This female ghost seems to hate handsome men very much."
"...Brother Jiao, are you using me to fish?"
Luo Xiu couldn't help but glance at Jiao Sai and said with some dissatisfaction.
"If I could, I would have done it a long time ago. Are you still waiting for you?"
Jiao Sai looked at Luo Xiu with some envy. As a man, he was quite jealous of Luo Xiu's face. He was a native of Yangcheng and had a slightly rough appearance.
I believed you... Luo Xiu stretched out his face and faced the calm lake. His handsome face appeared directly on the lake. He nodded slightly for a while. Although Jiao Sai was sometimes unreliable, But there is still a sense of appreciation for beauty.
"Brother Jiao, is it useful if I just face the lake like this?"
"A dead horse is a living doctor. You can't just jump into the water to find it. It would be fine if Sister Ling is here. Let's just forget it. Don't jump in and die directly. It will be a big loss."
"All right."
Luo Xiu responded helplessly and sat cross-legged on the shore with his head facing the lake. He casually pulled out a piece of dogtail grass from the ground and held it in the corner of his mouth. He chewed the end with his teeth. The slightly bitter taste gradually focused his attention. He was also curious about what this female ghost looked like.
Jiao Sai leaned on a tree trunk nearby, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the ghost to appear.
Time passes minute by minute.
Luo Xiu gradually stopped admiring his beauty, and at the same time, he also doubted whether Jiao Sai's words were reliable.
Can a female ghost really catch fish like this?
"Meow~"
Suddenly, Qiqi, who was quiet on her shoulders, became hairy and shouted towards the center of the lake.
The moment the sound fell.
Luo Xiu and Jiao Sai also looked over and immediately spotted a figure in a bright red dress floating in the middle of the lake.
Her face was covered with black hair, her feet were dangling in the air, and her delicate body was wrapped in wet clothes, but there was no sense of charm at all. Instead, there was an indescribable spooky and strange feeling.
"Is it her?"
Luo Xiu stared at the opponent and asked without looking back. At the same time, the sword in his hand had appeared in his palm. He had been trained by Luan Peiyun to have a stress response, and he would draw the sword first when in danger.
"should be."
Jiao Sai has never seen one before, but the one in front of him must be a ghost, and a female ghost.
You can’t fake your figure.
"Do ghosts also have shadows?"
Luo Xiu was a little curious and looked at the shadow of the female ghost reflected on the lake. According to what the elderly said when he was young, ghosts have no shadow.
"??"
Jiao Sai thinks Luo Xiu's brain circuit is a bit weird.
But something even weirder happened soon. The female ghost figure reflected in the lake actually floated up from the water, causing ripples on the silent lake surface.
As the female ghost emerged, the female ghost who was standing on the lake stepped back slightly. A cold aura spread out, and even the surface of Crescent Lake was filled with white mist.
Damn it!
When Luo Xiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Jiao Sai couldn't help but say: "Brother, you are so charming, even an old man like this is attracted to you." This chapter has been completed!
