Narcissus was very worried about Li Huaiyun. Carrying nearly a hundred kilograms of corpses against the current, it was difficult to leave the river. .
"Sir, why don't you put the body at the bottom of the lake!" She didn't want Li Huaiyun to encounter something unexpected because of this body. Good people should be rewarded!
Li Huaiyun waved his arms and continued to swim upstream. He was washed down by the fast current several times. "I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it the second time I come down!"
"How could it be! This body has been in this river before."
"It was because of the meat ball that the body was not affected by the water flow. Now that the meat ball has escaped, the body will naturally be carried away by the water flow."
Li Huaiyun lowered his head and glanced at the dark river bottom, "There must be something else under this river! It must be something quite terrifying that has been staring at us!"
"Ah!" The spirit body of Narcissus emerged from the scroll. She was naked, her hands wrapped around Li Huaiyun's waist, and then looked at the water droplets, "Ah! Is there something at the bottom of the river?"
"Yes, otherwise, why did you want to go down to the bottom of the river, but was stopped by a force and did not dive to the bottom?"
"I thought there was some talisman down there! So..." Narcissus suddenly closed his mouth, moved closer to Li Huaiyun, and shouted in a panic, "Yes! There is something... coming up! Very fast!"
She pointed down, "What is that?"
Li Huaiyun glanced down and was suddenly startled. At this time, at the bottom of the dark lake, there was a pair of slightly shining red eyes, staring at him. Although it was pitch black below, the water on all sides was constantly changing its direction. , the body of this thing is very huge.
He gathered all his energy again and swam upward desperately. At this time, he could feel the river water piercing his body like silver needles.
He felt a sharp stabbing pain in every part of his body. Several times, he was unable to move his arms and legs.
"Master! Why don't you throw the body away!"
"Shut up! Don't affect me!" Li Huaiyun was already at this time. When he saw a well hole on the stone wall, he increased the frequency of waving again.
The water under his feet was getting faster and faster, as if it was trying to pull him down! Once this is pulled down, I'm afraid it will never be able to come up again!
Li Huaiyun swam upward with all his strength, and the darkness seemed to rise from the bottom of the river, opening its huge mouth to swallow him.
He quickly entered the narrow well from the river, and with a crash, his body jumped out of the well water.
Li Huaiyu pressed his hands on the well wall and crawled towards the wellhead with all his strength. The wellhead above was covered quite tightly, and no light came through.
The water surface in the well also suddenly exploded. It seemed that the unknown creature also passed through the well tunnel and emerged from the well water. It made a thumping sound and chased him along the wall of the well.
Li Huaiyun had already climbed to the top of the well. He directly waved his supreme fist and used his fist force to knock away the things covering the well. A light suddenly lit up at the wellhead.
He used his last strength to climb out of the well, then rolled around on the ground several times with the body on his back. Lying on the ground, he saw a burst of black mist pouring out of the well, then quickly closing in and returning to the dark place. In the well
Li Huaiyun gasped for air and untied the rope around his body. He sat on the ground and looked around with a blank expression, and found that the location of the well was actually the temple.
The demon hunters who were guarding the temple heard the noise and immediately hurried out into the courtyard. They were startled at first, and then ran directly to Li Huaiyun. After seeing the token on his waist, they felt relieved, thinking that this was the place. Some monster came out.
"Isn't this Li Huaiyun?"
"It's me!" Li Huaiyun wiped the water and mud from his face. He just emerged from the water and picked up a lot of mud from the well wall, which just happened to splash him in the face.
One of the demon hunters looked at the corpse wearing red Hanfu next to Li Huaiyun, "This woman is..."
"The widow who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well! She was taken advantage of and turned into a resentful spirit to commit another murder!"
"Then why are you here?"
Li Huaiyun said slowly, "I went down to the well to find out what was going on. I didn't expect that the water flow down there was too fast and I couldn't go back to the original well. I accidentally found another well."
"That's right! I heard that Sikyong sent several people down from the well in that house to look for you."
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun suddenly raised his head and looked at the inquiring demon hunter, "Did Sikyong really send someone down?"
"yes!"
"It's over! It's dangerous!"
"What?"
"The well is connected to the river, and there are terrible creatures there."
Li Huaiyong put his hands on the ground and stood up with great effort, "Whoever has faster feet should go to the house quickly and inform the Sikyong to ask those who went down the well to come up quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous!"
"Okay! I'll go right away." One of the monster hunters immediately turned around and ran towards the gate.
"What is there under this well?" A demon hunter asked, looking at the retreating figure.
"I don't know either! Fortunately, I just ran out of the well, otherwise, my body would have sunk to the bottom of the lake."
The demon catcher turned his gaze to the ground, looking at the beautiful corpse covered in water drops and with a graceful figure.
This corpse seems to exude a special temperament, which makes people fascinated.
He glanced at Li Huaiyun with doubtful eyes, "How did you carry this body out of the river?"
"It's a long story! This corpse has been controlled by a human spell. When I went into the river, it was trying to suck out my essence."
"Fortunately, I have good martial arts skills, so I subdued this resentful spirit. I thought that if the corpse was left in the river, the resentment of the resentful spirit would become more and more violent, and it would be difficult to control it in the end, so I thought of taking the corpse with me. Come out and let Sikyong find someone to take charge of his salvation."
"The salvation is over, what are you going to do?" the demon catcher asked quickly.
Li Huaiyong glanced at him with a surprised look, wondering if this guy had any ideas, "Brother, what do you have in mind? Manipulating corpses is not something that Taoists can do."
The demon catcher immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Brother, you are overthinking! I don't mean that, but this corpse is very valuable!"
"I advise you not to think about that! You should be clear about the rules and regulations of the Demon Slayer Division. Besides, Sikyong will never allow such things to deviate from the Taoist sect. If you are discovered, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the Demon Slayer Division!"
The demon catcher immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "What my brother said is true. I have no such idea. I still have to go outside and guard!"
He immediately turned around and left the scene, but when he left, he still took a second look at the body lying on the ground.
Li Huaiyun murmured in his heart, it seemed that Sikyong had to take care of the corpse, otherwise, if it was not preserved, some people would fall into evil ways.
Not long after, Qin Gang brought the four helmsmen to the temple.
When they saw Li Huaiyun, they felt much more relaxed. They were all afraid that this talented guy would die in the river.
Li Huaiyun stepped forward and asked in a concerned tone, "Sikyong, have all the people who went down the well come up?"
Qin Gang looked solemn and sighed, "Jingang Pavilion is responsible for going down into the well. After we left, everyone basically came up!"
"That's good! I'll still..."
"Lost some people!"
"They were brought to the bottom of the river by the undercurrent!" Wang Xing took a step forward, raised his fist, and shouted angrily, "I didn't expect that the river would be so dangerous!"
Nothing of this magnitude has happened since he joined the Demon Slayer Division, so it was hard for him to accept it when it happened around him.
Wang Xing said loudly, "In addition to being taken away by the undercurrent, he also disappeared inexplicably, leaving only damaged clothes and tokens!"
His eyes widened with anger, and the muscles on his body tensed, as if he wanted to fight with someone at any time, "I must personally dig out the monster in the river and avenge my dead brother!"
Li Huaiyun also said, "Indeed, when I wanted to leave the river, I also felt the monster approaching. Fortunately, I escaped from the well in time, otherwise I would have let the thing drag it to the bottom of the river."
Qin Gang pondered for a long time, but he did not expect that there would be monsters hiding in the river below the well! He looked at Li Huaiyun and said, "By the way! What is the situation of this case? Please tell me in detail quickly."
Li Huaiyun told Qin Gang all the details of what happened when he investigated the case.
"It's the man in black robe again!" Qin Gang gently twirled his beard.
"Yes! This case is older than the water prison case!"
Qin Gang frowned and immediately realized the problem, "I'm afraid this man in black robes has already laid out his plan in Kyoto! We have been a step behind others!"
"Yes!" Li Huaiyun responded confidently, "Fortunately, there is still a chance. As long as this game is not over, we still have a chance."
Qin Gang looked at Li Huaiyun with gratified eyes, extremely grateful to himself for getting this man out of the cell.
"One more thing!"
"explain!"
Li Huaiyun told Qin Gang what he saw in the cave in the river.
"I have never seen a wall with nine dragon heads carved on it during my years as Sikyong! It seems that there are many secrets hidden in this river that we don't know about! We need to find time to go inside and find out!"
Li Huaiyun said to Qin Gang, "Sikyong, is it possible that the target of the man in black robe is this Nine Dragons Wall?"
Qin Gang looked solemn and glanced at the well near the wall not far away. "It is possible, otherwise the stone statues and resentful spirits would not be allowed to guard the river."
"Sikyong might go to the palace to ask. Maybe someone can know."
"The history of Kyoto in the Great Zhou Dynasty is relatively long. Before the establishment of the Demon Slayer Division, there were several experts in martial arts and spiritual power who protected Kyoto Zhouquan."
"And the cave under this river has been there since I don't know when, so few people know about it!"
Li Huaiyun suddenly realized a problem, "Sikyong! I remember Mu Yuan told me that this dragon is exclusive to the emperor's family, so could the wall of the cave also be related to the imperial city, maybe some kind of mausoleum or something like that. "
"Yeah! That's possible!"
Li Huaiyun came up with an idea, "It's best to ask the craftsmen who built the imperial city. They may have more knowledge! If we can confirm that the black-robed man's target is this Nine Dragons Wall, we will have a lot to do now!" "
Qin Gang nodded, "That's right!"
Behind Qin Gang, several helmsmen looked at Li Huaiyun with admiration. He convinced several helmsmen with his series of reasoning. Except for Yuan Xiu, the other three helmsmen were all envious of him. Meng Hulu is actually able to possess such a capable talent.
After Li Huaiyun finished his report, he pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "Tell Sikyong that this is the corpse I brought back from the river. It is the widow who was exploited by the man in black robe."
