Unsurpassed Spirits

Chapter 3 River Ghost
After days of traveling, her body was covered in dust. Originally, a dust-removing spell could solve the problem, but Luo Qingli didn't pay much attention to it. After all, no traveler with a dusty life would be clean.

Luo Qingli wandered on the river bank for a while, but did not see the ferry.

The rain was getting heavier and the road was starting to become muddy.

She didn't know how to swim. The river was several feet wide and there was no bridge nearby, so she couldn't cross it at all.

As the water vapor dispersed, Luo Qingli saw a woman holding an umbrella standing at the entrance of the village on the other side. She waved her hands and shouted: "Sister, is there a ferry?"

The woman raised her head. Through the heavy rain, Luo Qingli couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. He could only see her shaking her head and waving her hands with excitement. Her mouth opened and closed as if she was saying something, but the rain was too loud. , can't hear clearly.

Luo Qingli took a few steps closer to the shore and vaguely heard the woman saying "walk quickly" and "don't get close". Before she could react, she felt the air fluctuations change suddenly.

A black thing like hair climbed up silently along the river bank and quickly wrapped around her ankle. The next moment, Luo Qingli felt a strong force trying to pull her into the river.

Even though she had some theoretical knowledge, she had little practical experience. Luo Qingli was shocked when she was unexpectedly attacked.

A woman's scream came from the shore. Luo Qingli took out two bamboo knives. He dug the knife deeply into the soil with one hand and let his body hang on the bank. He waved down the other hand to try to cut off the black hair. .

The bamboo knife was just a mortal thing after all. Not only did she not cut off the black hair, she even offended the other party. Several more balls of black hair came out of the river, entangled her legs, and bound her right hand.

Luo Qingli held on tightly to the bamboo knife embedded in the soil, but the soil was soft due to the rain, and the force of the hair pulling her became stronger and stronger. Luo Qingli was eventually pulled into the water.

The cold river water poured into her mouth and nose. Luo Qingli's eyes were sore and astringent. She couldn't see clearly in the water. She could only see dense hair rushing towards her, wrapping her into a big cocoon.

These hairs strangled her tightly, as if they were about to cut her skin, but this seemingly thin skin was actually very tough.

The movement of the hair paused slightly, and then used more force.

Although he has been on the road these days, Luo Qingli would allocate an hour or two every day to practice the Jade Bone Ice Muscle Technique. The first layer of skin refining has begun to show results, but it can only resist the hair for a while. That’s all.

The faint smell of blood spread in the water, and the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. Luo Qingli was unable to move, almost thinking that he was going to die here.

People who have died once may not necessarily panic when facing death again, but she is not willing to end like this.

The strong desire to survive made her calm down quickly. Luo Qingli mobilized the spiritual power stored in her meridians to condense a fireball and attack the big black-haired cocoon.

In the water, the power of the fireball was greatly reduced, but it was still better than nothing. Luo Qingli heard a miserable scream, and then the restraints on his body suddenly loosened.

She was overjoyed.

As soon as her hair entangled her, she felt a chill. Thinking that she had heard people talking about things like water ghosts and river ghosts before, she guessed that this might also be some kind of evil thing, and thunder and fire were specially designed to restrain it. This kind of evil thing is really effective now.

Luo Qingli condensed a few more fireballs, all his hair retreated, and the surrounding river water became turbulent.

Although Shui Zui retreated temporarily, she couldn't swim. The struggle in the water caused her physical strength to drain quickly, and her body sank involuntarily.

After drinking several more sips of water, Luo Qingli's consciousness was a little blurry. At this moment, she felt the clothes on the back of her neck suddenly tighten, as if someone grabbed her by the back of the collar and pulled her out of the water.

After being exposed to the air again, Luo Qingli coughed violently. Big raindrops fell, but she thought it was a very beautiful sound.saved……

She is still alive!

After taking a few breaths, Luo Qingli looked up and saw a handsome young man in white and blue shirt standing on a flying sword, still holding her back collar with one hand to steady her figure.The young man's body was covered with a thin protective shield. Even if it was raining heavily at the moment, his clothes were not stained by dust.

Not far away there were two companions of the young man, a man and a woman, wearing the same clothes, and they seemed to be from the same sect.

"Brother Ning?"

The two flew towards the young man. The young man nodded slightly to them, and then took Luo Qingli down from the flying sword.

The woman at the entrance of the village hurriedly came over with a frightened look on her face. She looked at the young girls and she was quite at a loss, "A few immortal masters..."

The young man handed Luo Qingli to her, looked back at the calm water, and said calmly: "Find a clean place first."

"Yes, yes, immortal masters, please follow me."

The woman nodded repeatedly and supported Luo Qingli to welcome them all to her home.

Luo Qing left the cubicle and changed into clean clothes. When he returned to the main room, he happened to hear what the woman and several boys and girls were saying.

"Two months ago, Lao Li, who was in charge of the ferry, fell into the water in the middle of the river. Lao Li's water quality was very good, and the river was not rushing. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. But after a while, no one saw Lao Li floating up. , everyone felt something was wrong, and a young man who was familiar with water jumped into the river to look for Lao Li, but he also disappeared."

"Everyone was aware of the problem and did not dare to go into the water anymore. They just watched helplessly from the shore. Until an hour later, the bodies of Lao Li and the young man floated up. Their whole bodies were shriveled, as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry. , only skin and bones were left, and the look on his face was horrified..."

The three of them looked at each other in confusion, and the only girl among them asked in confusion: "According to your statement, the water in this river should be water ghosts, but since the incident happened two months ago, and your place falls under the jurisdiction of Jin Xuanzong, Why don’t you find someone from Jin Xuanzong to solve it?”

"Why didn't you look for it?" The woman looked helpless. "The day after that incident, the village chief sent someone to deliver a letter to the state capital, asking the immortals to come and remove the evil spirits, but there was no reply for a long time. Later, the village chief I went to the state capital in person to ask, and the people there said that our village did not pay enough silver this year, and the immortal masters were too lazy to take care of this mess."

The woman shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Our place is already remote, and this year's harvest is not good... It was just fine in previous years, but something happened this year. Now no one dares to go near the river, and everyone has to walk to get water. Go to another village more than ten miles away."

"That's unreasonable! Jin Xuanzong went too far!" The girl was so angry that she started clapping the table with a sullen look on her face, "The lower three sects are the lower third sects. The moral principles of the Immortal family have been eaten by dogs!"

"Junior Sister Han."

The young man surnamed Ning glanced at her, and the girl snorted, then sat back down with a pout.

The young man surnamed Ning turned to look at Luo Qingli who was standing aside. Luo Qingli came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Thank you so much for saving my life, young master."

"Hands up."

The young man surnamed Ning smiled slightly, looking at Yun Danfengqing, and looked her up and down for a moment.
