Lin Ji yawned and lay down on the recliner again.
"So since your demon hunting conference is so important, why are you two taking your time and come to my place to eat and drink?"
"Hey, the two of us have just opened the spiritual realm. We are not outstanding among many of our peers. We are somewhat self-aware that this misty forest is dangerous." Yuan Ziang said with a smile.
Yuan Yi, whose mouth was stained with oil while eating, also nodded repeatedly.
Lin Ji heard this and asked curiously: "If you juniors can come and experience it, there shouldn't be any powerful monsters in this misty forest, right?"
"There's nothing on the outside, there's something in the depths." Yuan Zi'ang said, looked at Lin Ji again, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me for my blindness, may I ask what level of monk I am?"
"guess?"
"I came from Tianjing City, and what I ate was monster meat. It was obviously of extraordinary origin... and the mountains and forests have always been dangerous. Ordinary low-level monks would not dare to approach easily, but I dared to light a fire and cook in this forest without restraint. Rou, I think you are at least in the Wisdom realm, right?"
Lin Ji was noncommittal.
Yuan Ziang thought he was right. He raised his eyebrows at his sister beside him proudly, and then said to Lin Ji, "If I'm not in a hurry, why don't you stay with us brother and sister for a few days?"
"Are you afraid of encountering danger in the forest?"
"The main thing is that I'm afraid that I'll be lonely. It's better to go out and have someone to talk to than to be alone."
"If you're scared, why do you still come?" Lin Ji asked again.
Yuan Ziang laughed twice.
"All the disciples from the aristocratic family are here, I can't shirk it. Otherwise, I will be ridiculed for the rest of my life."
Lin Ji nodded.
Having already arrived in Xuzhou, he was not in a hurry.
"Who is the most powerful in this monster hunting conference? What realm?"
"It's my Yuan family's Yuan Zisheng. Brother Zisheng has broken through to the fifth level. He is a genuine Yuan Shen monk and a popular candidate to win the Demon Hunting Conference. Anyway, I invested dozens of taels in Brother Zisheng. .”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Yi on the side was not happy.
"Huh, it's Sister Lu. Sister Lu is at the pinnacle of the fifth realm."
"So what about the peak of the fifth realm? She is a branch of the Lu family and has not been around Xuzhou for a long time. Brother Zisheng has participated in the demon hunting conference for the fifth time and knows this misty forest very well."
"That's why Sister Lu is so awesome."
"Who is Sister Lu?" Lin Ji was curious.
Yuan Ziang said with a smile: "She is a female monk from the Lu family, named Lu Zhaoer. She was originally a collateral branch of the Lu family. She served as a Youxing officer in the Supervisory Tiansi. She has some reputation, but she is still not as good as the younger generation of my Yuan family. .”
"However, my elder brother Zisheng is somewhat interested in Lu Zhaoer. I heard that the head of the family has been asked to go to the Lu family to propose marriage."
Hearing this, Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
"Lu Zhao'er? I heard about this person when I was in Beijing. I remember that Emperor Pei had granted her a marriage."
"The Qin Dynasty is gone, and Emperor Pei is dead, how can the marriage still count?" Yuan Zi'ang shook his head and said, "With Miss Lu's talent and beauty, only Pei Emperor could betroth her to the dandies in the capital. Already."
"Dandy kid? Okay."
Lin Ji patted Yuan Ziang's shoulder and lay down again.
...
In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.
Just as Yuan Ziang said, when the sky first started to darken, fog began to form in the forest.
At first, I just felt a little damp, but within half an hour, there was already a fog in front of me. It would be difficult to see clearly even three to five meters away with the naked eye.
"Brother, most of the monsters in this misty forest travel at night. We have to be more careful at night... The fire should be extinguished." Yuan Ziang was a little worried.
"No, you just need to rest, I will keep you vigil throughout the night." Lin Ji closed his eyes and waved his hand.
Hearing this, Yuan Ziang said nothing more and went to rest under a big tree with Yuan Yi.
More than two hours passed, and it was already late at night.
But the three people in the forest were still awake.
Lin Ji simply didn't want to sleep and didn't know what to do, so he lay down and stared at the stars in a daze.
The Yuan brothers and sisters did not dare to sleep for fear of something happening at night.
Suddenly, there were footsteps not far away.
"Hey, there's a fire? Whose friend is so careless?"
A voice rang in the ears of the three people. After a while, a young man appeared in the clearing.
When Yuan Ziang saw this man, he immediately stood up and said, "Jin Laoer? What a coincidence. You were too afraid to go deep, so you came out and hid."
"Hey, brother Zi'ang still understands me." Jin Laoer grinned and approached.
But as soon as he took a step, his whole body froze in place and couldn't move.
At the same time, Lin Ji's voice sounded.
"When did you die?"
In an instant, the lively look on Jin Laoer's face disappeared and became stiff and numb.
"Half a day ago."
"It took only half a day to raise you into a demon. Your monster master is very powerful. He must be a big monster at least." Lin Ji clicked his tongue.
After hearing these conversations, Yuan Ziang and Yuan Yi suddenly opened their eyes.
"Brother, he...he's dead?"
"Can't you see such a strong ghost energy?"
Yuan Ziang shrank his neck.
"The fog around... is too heavy."
"A monk who opens the spiritual realm, but doesn't open his spiritual eyes?"
Yuan Ziang slapped his forehead, as if he suddenly realized something. Spiritual energy circulated around him, and a light flashed in his eyes.
When he looked at Jin Laoer again, he saw the strong ghost energy around him, and he was just a ghost body without a physical body.
"How could this happen?" Yuan Ziang was still a little unbelievable.
"Haven't you heard of being a villain? It's just a ghost. In the past, ghosts often appeared on the official roads and harmed the people passing by. Most of them were driven by monsters in the mountains."
Lin Ji had dealt with many of these scoundrels when he was still in Qingyang County.
With a wave of his hand, a breeze blew by, and the golden old man was immediately melted by the wind and scattered between the sky and the earth.
But then, Lin Ji discovered that his soul essence was still condensed, and then he seemed to be pulled by something to the west, but disappeared in an instant.
"It's not like I was captured by a monster..."
Lin Ji suddenly realized something.
"The intersection of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, originally the Ghost King's City, is now the underworld's Yincao... So that's it."
At this moment, it was hard for him not to think of the news he heard from Mr. Jian before.
"From now on, lonely ghosts will have a place to go, and reincarnation will also have a reality."
"Sure enough, it takes such overwhelming merit to offset the karma of hundreds of millions of beings in Qingzhou and Yanzhou."
Just as Lin Ji was thinking about it, there was a sudden loud noise in the distance.
Then, the ground shook, the mountains and forests trembled, and leaves fell all over the sky.
A huge beast soared into the air.
"What kind of bastard dares to disturb my dream?!"
The roar of the beast resounded through the mountains and forests.
