Wanbao Lady

She touched Qiao'er's head lovingly.

"Since you trust us, and I happen to like Qiao'er very much, I agree, so let her stay here!"

The ghost woman was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, leaving the proprietress at a loss for a moment.

"Hey, hey, get up, stop doing this, I can't stand it!"

The ghost woman shook her head and said sadly: "After this farewell, we will never see each other again. Since you are willing to take her in, you are my lifelong benefactor, and I should kowtow to you."

The proprietress subconsciously tried to support her, but felt a pair of cold hands.

So icy!

But she didn't think much about it and just thought it was because of the cold night wind.

After the ghost woman stood up, she looked at her daughter deeply again and kissed her on the head tenderly.

Tears of blood flowed silently.

Under the horrified gazes of the proprietress and the old woman, the figure of the woman in front of them gradually dimmed.

"From now on, mother will not be by your side. You must take good care of yourself... Mother is gone..."

As the last words fell in the night wind, the ghost woman completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only a shrill cry and two pairs of terrified eyes were left.

-

In the land temple.

Chongfan was playing with a white, round pearl.

To talk about where this pearl came from, we have to start from more than an hour ago.

At that time, she was still visiting the night market during the Spring Festival.

In ancient times, people rarely opened night markets unless there were major festivals.

In the night market, there are countless lanterns and flower lanterns painted with various flowers.

Some people buy lanterns, write their wishes on them, and then put them in the Hulu River nearby.

To pray for good luck.

On Hulu River, countless lanterns swayed with the waves and gradually drifted away into the distance.

Chongfan also followed local customs and bought a lantern.

She bought a large, beautiful lotus lantern with half-closed petals.

But she didn't write anything in the lantern, she just quietly put it into the water.

Watching the lanterns drifting away, Chongfan stood there for a while before turning around and leaving.

But suddenly, his attention was attracted by Chongxue's voice.

"Master, look, our lanterns are floating back again!"

Ok?

Chongfan looked back and saw that, sure enough, among the lanterns floating downstream, one lantern floating upstream stood out so conspicuously.

Isn't that the one she bought?

Some people who were releasing lanterns also saw this scene and their eyes widened.

"Strange! How come this lantern floated back upside down?"

Some people were amazed.

When the lantern returned to Chongfan, she squatted down and looked, only to see a pearl lying quietly in the center of the lantern.

The pearl was round and full, and its diameter was estimated to be ten centimeters.

It is simply the best of the best.

She took out the pearl.

【Green-grade material mirage beads detected. 】

[Description: Mirage Pearl has a certain affinity with water veins. Can be used to refine equipment.]

Hmm? It's actually a green-level material!

Who sent it?

At this moment, a divine thought came out from the pearl.

The voice sounds a little old.

"Thank you for saving my people. Is there anything you want? Please write it on this lamp. Also, this pearl is for you."

Huh? So generous! Not only did he give her the pearls for free, but he also gave her something extra?

She had guessed it in her mind.

If she had saved any existence, it was related to Hulu River and Pearl...

Then it can only be the little clam monster during the day.

That little guy must have some background.

Judging from the quality of this pearl, it is impossible for it to be produced by a clam monster of a lower level.

I guess it would take a clam monster in the Jindan stage to do that.

In other words, there is actually an old clam monster in the Jindan stage in this Hulu River!

She took this to heart.

Then he asked Chongxue to get some pen and ink from the stall owner, and half-jokingly wrote on the lantern:

Sword skills secrets.

Now I have the Hanqu Sword, but I have no sword skills to practice. It is not good after all.

Although the Hanqu Sword itself is very powerful, its power will surely be even greater if it is combined with superb swordsmanship.

Of course, she didn't expect the old clam monster to give it to her.

Just talking.

After all, do you expect a clam monster that has difficulty moving to have swordsmanship?

After writing the words, she placed the lantern on the water again and watched it drift away again.

When the lantern drifted to the end of sight, something flew out of the water and happened to fall into the lantern.

The lanterns floated back upstream.

Huh? There's something there?

When the lantern floated in front of her again, she saw a jade slip as long as a finger lying quietly inside.

Chongfan bent down and took it out. After observing it for a while, he probed his spiritual sense into it.

"I have no use for this thing, and it will just sit there anyway, so I'll give it to you, young lady."

It’s actually a secret book!

Is this old clam monster so honest?

But this is not the place to look closely.

Because some people have already noticed this place and are pointing fingers at it.

"Let's go back."

After Chongfan left with Chongbing and Chongxue, several people rushed to release their lanterns at the place where she was standing.

Some even salvaged the lanterns she had released.

But after looking at them for a long time, I realized that the lanterns were just ordinary lanterns, nothing special.

"Just now, that person released a lantern and got a pearl and a jade slip. Let's try it too."

As the lanterns disappeared from sight, they waited and waited, but nothing happened.

I could only leave in shame.

Only a strange story or legend remains.

-

After Chongfan returned to the land temple, he used his spiritual sense to carefully look through the records inside again.

"The Eighteen General Principles of Military Path?"

The jade slip records that this is the unique skill of the Qinglong Mountain Bixiao Sect, a sect of immortal cultivation.

It not only records sword techniques, but also the usage of seventeen other weapons and exquisite techniques.

No wonder there is so much content in it!

Chongfan glanced through it briefly.

Just one word: wonderful!

I don’t know how the old clam monster got it.

She asked the Earth God about the so-called Qinglong Mountain Bixiao Sect, but learned that this sect had been destroyed in the war between humans and demons thousands of years ago.

Back then, the Bixiao Sect was also a well-known human cultivation sect that specialized in various weapons.

The most famous sword cultivator is just a branch of them.

But the war between humans and demons that year was extremely brutal, and countless sects and geniuses died.

Finally, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement with great difficulty.

So much time has passed that the land god of Luoxia Town has been replaced several times.

No matter how brilliant and talented it was in the past, it is nothing but a handful of earth now.

Information about the Bixiao Sect was found by the God of Land in books passed down from generation to generation.

When he asked Chongfan why he suddenly asked about this sect, Chongfan just smiled and said that he learned the name of this sect by chance.

The God of Land then stopped asking questions.

As for the old clam monster in Hulu River, Chongfan also learned from the Earth God that he was actually the previous lord of Mo River.

But later on, his position was usurped by the black snake demon.

Under the suppression of the black snake demon, they had no choice but to retreat to Hulu River.

-

The time has come now.

The time has come.

The ghost woman was summoned back by Chongfan, took off her paper body, and restored her ghost body.

After telling Chongfan about his experience, a ghost arrived.

However, they did not come here to capture the soul directly, but instead they appealed to the land:

"We just passed Luohua Town and heard that a ghost appeared there, but then it disappeared. Some people said that the ghost came from Luoxia Town. Does Mr. Xu know the inside story?"

"This..." The God of Land's eyes flickered.

But he still answered truthfully: "It is true, but it is a long story."
