The weather is slightly cold, the vitality of the world is gradually shutting down, and the cold wind is strong, making it seem slightly cold even during the day.
In Dongjiang Panlong Town, the bustling city breaks the tranquility. It's not that the townspeople are not afraid of the hidden monsters causing trouble again, but that things only happen on the riverside.
The victims are either fishermen or ordinary town residents passing by. They disappear mysteriously. It is likely that the monster is lurking in the river.
Now, enter the town.
Jiang Yunyi and Lu Ningshuang were sitting under a stall next to the street, eating steaming wontons. They were surrounded by monks who came to the town from all directions.
"The mayor of this town has invited experts from the Tianling Holy Land to try and kill the monsters lurking in Dongjiang Town. I don't know if we can defeat them."
"The ones coming should be only the outer disciples. The ones with the highest strength are in the late stage of the Kailing Realm. We still have a chance." A casual cultivator said.
"Disciple Tianling! I don't know if there will be a conflict. Many people say that the disciples of the big sects are not easy to get along with. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."
Someone spoke fearfully.
"Won't."
Another casual cultivator shook his head and said: "Tianling Holy Land is extremely strict in recruiting disciples, and the sect rules are very strict. Everyone must abide by the Holy Land sect rules and are not allowed to kill indiscriminately."
"Haha, what fellow Taoist said is absolutely true."
Jiang Yunyi turned around with a smile, cupped his fists and echoed, while the three casual cultivators in the back seat also nodded in goodwill.
It's just that... before they finished talking to each other, the three casual cultivators fled away. Because of the inexplicable chill, they seemed to be facing death and did not want to stay.
"...."
Jiang Yunyi thought they were busy with something, so she didn't pay much attention. She just turned around and found that Lu Ningshuang was orderly dividing her portion of wontons into her own bowl.
"Yun Yi, eat more."
Seeing this, he asked with a grimace: "Since you don't want to eat, why do you order it?"
Jiang Yunyi is different from her in that he has not yet reached the state of complete abstinence. When he entered the town, he happened to see wontons being sold here, so he thought of coming over to try them.
It had to be said that he missed the long-lost taste.
Lu Ningshuang followed naturally and asked for a bowl, but she only took one bite and didn't touch it again.
Because of this, the old woman selling wontons almost doubted whether she was doing a good job, until she heard...
Lu Ningshuang sat across from her elegantly and upright, especially her pair of deep eyes, which made people intoxicated. She looked at Jiang Yunyi and spoke calmly:
"If you don't have enough food, I can give it; if you have enough food, I can accompany you."
Hearing this, the old woman understood that these two people were truly in love, and she couldn't help but feel relieved. If she really couldn't make wontons well, her family's ancestral business would be lost.
"call......"
On the other side, Jiang Yunyi took a deep breath and tried to control himself. It was too tempting. If this continued, he was afraid he would lose control. He glanced down at the bowl full of wontons, then looked up at Lu Ningshuang and sipped lightly. Lips.
"If you don't want to eat, give it to me."
"good."
Lu Ningshuang looked at him quietly from the opposite side, her unruffled eyes only reflecting his shadow, as if it was enough for him to be in her eyes.
Jiang Yunyi was really helpless and secretly sighed in her heart that beauty is misleading.
People around her regarded Lu Ningshuang's beauty as nothing. In their eyes, there was only a woman sitting here, ordinary and far away, not the otherworldly one in his eyes.
Then Jiang Yunyi immersed himself in eating wontons and didn't look at it any more.
.......
The next step is to solve the problem of accommodation.
Of course, given their status, they could easily solve the problem as long as they went to the mayor to declare their home and confirm their identity.
But Lu Ningshuang didn't go, but took him to stay at the inn first.
Lu Ningshuang explained that it would be convenient for investigation. If the monster had a high IQ and some power, it would have been keeping an eye on the mayor's house.
After all, everyone around the town knew that the mayor wanted to eliminate the demon in such a big way, and he even did not hesitate to reward him with spirit-breaking and barrier-breaking spirit tea from the world of cultivation.
By then, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
Don't underestimate monsters. As long as they are successful, they usually have subordinates with high IQs. Their subordinates may not be very strong, but they are better in numbers.
After a while, it became darker and darker.
They arrived at the best inn in Panlong Town. At the front desk, Jiang Yunyi's face quickly turned ugly.
“A nice guest room.”
"Two rooms!"
"Just one room is enough." Lu Ningshuang Fu Lingshi said.
"Lu Ningshuang, where do I live?"
"Live with me."
"Then where should I sleep?"
"Sleep with me."
"..."
When the shopkeeper saw Lingshi and knew that the two of them were extraordinary, he smiled and immediately led a man and a woman to a quiet independent courtyard.
There are stone tables and benches under the trees for people to enjoy the shade, but it is not necessary now that winter is approaching.
There are white walls and blue tiles, with bamboo on both sides and hidden paths. After passing through, you will find a house with exquisite white walls and blue tiles. It seems like a place that is not easy to be disturbed.
"If you need it, sir, just give me your order."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he left.
"I think you did it on purpose." Jiang Yunyi looked at her suspiciously.
As a result, Lu Ningshuang spoke in a relaxed tone, as if she didn't take his words to heart at all, and said, "It's good that you know."
Jiang Yunyi frowned deeply.
Although Jiang Yunyi had always complained about Lu Ningshuang and played against him, every time Lu Ningshuang tried to tease him, she couldn't resist. Jiang Yunyi was afraid that if she stayed alone with Lu Ningshuang for a while longer, she would become soft-hearted.
You must know that Lu Ningshuang was a woman who always cared about her feelings in her previous life, and never revealed her feelings until her death. Now she has changed after she recovered. What will happen if she falls again?
Jiang Yunyi didn't dare to think about it, and his eyes met hers.
The courtyard of the inn was quiet, and Lu Ningshuang's veil was flowing slowly in the breeze. She looked aloof and aloof, but after staying together for a long time, she always felt that there was a kind of madness hidden in her.
Jiang Yunyi actually felt that if she died again, Lu Ningshuang would definitely resurrect her.
Until he accepted reality.
Until he became numb.
Until...he never dared to die again.
Jiang Yunyi tried to see through her eyes what the madness was.
However, he failed.
Lu Ningshuang was always like this, with nothing but depth in her eyes, as if she really loved herself, but in reality?
Jiang Yunyi no longer dared to think about this.
He was afraid. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt. He was like a puppet being pulled forward by Lu Ningshuang.
a long time.
Jiang Yunyicai said: "You can live alone, I'll go find the mayor."
"Yun Yi, how do you confirm your identity?"
"Of course it's Ling..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Ningshuang took out his identity token, waved it, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"..." Jiang Yunyi was silent, almost forgetting that her identity token was still in her hand, and immediately reached out to ask for it: "Give it back to me."
"what can you give me?"
Jiang Yunyi didn't answer but asked: "What do you want?"
"you."
"I?"
"Um."
"But I don't want you." Jiang Yunyi pulled away.
Lu Ningshuang could reach out and capture him at will, leaving no room for resistance. Jiang Yunyi never doubted this.
The soft and boneless jade hands brushed up his long hair and played with it, as smooth as satin, as if they couldn't put it down.
"We belong to each other and cannot escape."
.......
Rather than being unable to escape fate, it is better to say that he is unable to escape from her grasp.
Lu Ningshuang wanted to catch her, but no one could escape.
She is Jiang Yunyi's ghostly wife and his childhood sweetheart, and vice versa. Jiang Yunyi is her ghostly husband, her sweetheart who has been with him since childhood.
Jiang Yunyi could only accept his fate and continue to live in the same house with her. Even if he didn't want to eat him, Jiang Yunyi tried his best to avoid Lu Ningshuang's eyes.
Why?
Because he felt more and more weird about Lu Ningshuang.
One day, they went to Dongjiang to observe the traces around them. After there were indeed traces left by monsters, he took Lu Ningshuang to pursue them.
On Dongjiang Street, there are only a few townspeople living here today.
"Eh? Mom, that young man is so handsome!"
"Don't make such a fuss. This young master is not a simple man. Look carefully at the patterns embroidered on the breast of his robe!"
"Tianling Holy Land?"
The woman's eyes suddenly widened when she heard this.
"Tianling Holy Land is the head of the Immortal Sect! It is said that there are countless powerful people and geniuses in it!"
"That young master is actually a disciple of Tianling Holy Land. He is really extraordinary." The woman praised, looking at Jiang Yunyi with stern eyes, as if she had discovered a treasure.
Reaching out, wanting to grab it.
When Jiang Yunyi heard the sound, he saw the mother and daughter and was about to go over to ask, but was pulled aside by Lu Ningshuang on the spot and pressed against the wall...
"Yun Yi, do you want to go find them?" Lu Ningshuang raised her snow-white neck slightly, her eyes like an abyss, dark and bottomless.
A feeling of indifference arose spontaneously, and Jiang Yunyi was a little suffocated. He struggled to say one word: "No..."
When he regained his breath, he frowned and said, "Lu Ningshuang, I just wanted to go over and ask."
"Why don't you ask me?"
Jiang Yunyi: "......"
It was unimaginable to him that he could still taste it.
But the strangest thing to him was that Lu Ningshuang seemed to be really angry. Even though her eyes were calm, the strength of her hands was no longer deceptive.
Moreover, it seemed that he was deliberately suppressing the murderous aura in his body. As for whom it was caused to, Jiang Yunyi didn't know, but he felt uneasy.
Lu Ningshuang kept her hands on his shoulders, not moving at all, not even blinking. After a moment, she squeezed his face, as if to vent, but also as a warning.
Jiang Yunyi's face was still red until he returned to the inn courtyard, and during that time he could only lower his head, not daring to look at anyone, and let her lead him.
And that night.
The woman who was sizing up Jiang Yunyi this morning found that her skirt was stained with ice crystals when she returned home. It was very cold. She touched it in confusion and cut her hand directly!
"hiss!"
She retracted her hand in pain, and a few drops of blood seeped out from her fingers, which instantly turned into frost.
When the woman heard the noise, she entered the room and saw her bleeding hands. She frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you injured?"
"Mom, I just touched the frost-covered skirt. It felt like snow or water, but it felt cold to the bone, and then I got hurt..."
"You kid, you really know how to talk nonsense."
The woman was angry and blamed her for not telling the truth, and then applied ointment to her.
"Mom, what I said is true." The woman hurriedly defended.
"Okay, okay, mom believes in you." The woman sighed and didn't care about it.
"Oh, mother, what I really said is true." The woman emphasized again: "If you don't believe me, look at the hem of my skirt..."
When the woman looked over, she saw that most of the hem of her skirt was wet. She immediately said with a dark face, "How come you still wet yourself at how old your kid is?"
"me....."
The woman cried anxiously: "I, I don't know what's going on..."
"Mom, I really didn't lie."
The woman sighed: "Forget it, hurry up and change into a clean dress."
........
The next day, all the casual cultivators in the town looked listless, because they had been searching the area for three days, but unfortunately there was no progress.
They all thought that the monster had already left Panlong Town.
"Oh, it was a waste of time."
Many casual cultivators shook their heads and sighed.
Jiang Yunyi looked at Lu Ningshuang and asked, "Did you really leave?"
Lu Ningshuang looked at the place where Dongjiang was and said calmly: "No."
"Then let's go shopping in areas where it may be haunted."
Since Lu Ningshuang said no, Jiang Yunyi would definitely not jump to conclusions like a casual cultivator.
The next day, several figures rode into the town slowly on spirit horses. The three people in front looked relatively young.
Two men and one woman, the man is brave and fat, the woman is beautiful... petite and exquisite.
On the contrary, the three at the back are more like Tian Ling's disciples.
Wearing green and white clothing, wearing long boots, with a slender figure and a sword at his waist, he has an extraordinary imposing manner, but his behavior and conversation are somewhat like that of a big family.
"I have met a few immortals." The mayor of Panlong Town spoke first, smiling and greeting him with a humble attitude.
Several people got off their horses.
"Mayor, there is no need to be polite. We are just Tianling's outer disciples. We don't deserve the title of Immortal Elder. Just call me little friend." Wu Hai said, cupping his fists.
Qin Xiaoyu glanced around. Although there were no traces left in the town, she always felt that it was dangerous and suffocating.
suddenly.
"Ah! Teacher, Mistress!"
She saw Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi all the way away. No wonder she felt they were in danger. She dared to fall in love with them because of the Holy Lord's sister.
The mayor of Panlong Town followed his gaze with confusion on his face.
teacher?
Master’s wife?
Could it be that these two are some kind of masters!
Although this possibility was extremely low, and seeing Jiang Yunyi's young face, he still saluted respectfully, and even went out of his way to help Tian Ling and others.
"I didn't know that the two masters were in the town. I didn't expect them to be welcomed from afar. No wonder. I'm hosting a special banquet tonight to entertain a few distinguished guests. I should apologize."
However, he was rejected by Jiang Yunyi: "No need. We came here a few days ago and have experienced the simplicity of the local people. We also observed in the town and found no traces of monsters, so we are ready to continue the investigation."
Hearing this, the mayor breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he didn't dislike Panlong Town, he would be relieved.
On the other hand, those watching the excitement screamed in surprise.
"That...isn't that fellow Taoist I met at the wonton shop last time!?"
"Hey, it's true!"
"It turns out that he and that... eh, the woman is from Tianling Holy Land. It seems that those who come from a big sect are not as arrogant as people often say."
When the casual cultivators nearby saw Lingju, they thought something had happened. Unexpectedly, Tianling's disciples and others arrived.
There was no need for a banquet, so the mayor of Panlong Town specially arranged the best place for them to live, while Lu Ningshuang and Jiang Yunyi still lived in separate rooms.
In the courtyard.
"Teacher, Mistress, what are you doing while we are away?" Qin Xiaoyu asked with a smile, as if he could see the subtlety between the two of them.
Master’s wife?
Jiang Yunyi glanced at Lu Ningshuang.
The latter's expression was dull, as if she was used to Qin Xiaoyu's name for her, and there was nothing strange about her.
Lu Ningshuang thought seriously for a while and then said to her calmly: "Sleep with him."
After Jiang Yunyi heard this, an exclamation point appeared above his head: "!!!"
