one of my alchemist friends

Kong freed up one hand, pressed his temple and gently rubbed it: "You... are you still alive? Can you talk?" There was a bit of joy in his tone.He once suspected that this was just a dream, but the pain in his chest made him believe that it was all real.

"My death has nothing to do with you, you can't save me." The ghost girl floated in the air, her face was no longer ferocious, but became soft and peaceful.She floated in front of Mo Chengkong, stretched out her fingers and tapped his forehead, and said with a smile, "But I want to help you, why are you ignoring me?"

Mo Chengkong pulled off her hand and held it tightly to prevent her from slipping away. He asked eagerly, "Tell me, who is behind the scenes?"

"Didn't I tell you clearly and clearly a long time ago." The hand slipped away from him lightly, and the ghost girl went around behind him, straightened his head and looked forward, "Look." He covered his chest with his hand: "Look."

"Now that you can talk, why don't you just tell me?"

"Because this is a dream, this is just your dream, you should wake up." Her body began to burn into ashes, dissipating into the air bit by bit.Mo Chengkong stretched out his hand to grab it, but only touched a piece of nothingness.

A crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground woke him up.

Mo Chengkong got up in a daze, stretched out his hand to his chest, there was no blood hole, but the piercing pain was so real.He took out the blueprint hidden in his chest, unfolded it, and it was smeared wantonly by the ghost girl.

"Look..." The words that the ghost girl repeated before she disappeared seemed to be echoing in her ears.

What are you looking at?He looked up and saw the waiter standing there at some point, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Guest officer, this is already the second broken teapot. Look at the compensation..."

After a tossing all night last night, everyone didn't sleep well, but they checked out early.The stalkers that Bairan noticed seemed to be those ghost clan members.Although all of them have been killed by the brothers in black, all their words and words before revealed a message: the three of them have been targeted.It's not a threat, but their lives.

If just because of meddling in the two incidents is "offending someone who shouldn't be offended", then the three of them are far more than the ones involved.

A big river stood in front of it, and there was a bridge across the river. There were all kinds of vendors scattered on both sides of the bridge, and there was an endless stream of shouting and selling.Pedestrians came and went intensively, and the three of them had to walk across the bridge with their horses.

Suddenly a group of Taoist priests appeared in the crowd, pushing a little girl forward, followed by an old couple, who knelt down and begged bitterly: "I beg you all, give us back the girl!"

The Taoist was impatient with the noise, turned around and kicked the old man in the heart, and spat: "You scumbag is covering up evildoers. I am merciful and don't blame you. You don't know how to get out of here. Ouch!" He was hit hard with a sap stick, his beard stood on end in pain, and he said angrily, "Who is plotting against me?"

Gao Jian picked up the stick and replied unceremoniously: "Master, I beat you, what's the matter? If you have the ability to beat others, don't you have the ability to be beaten?"

"You...you..." The old Taoist was so angry that he quickly greeted left and right, and said, "Fellow daoists, quickly tie up this little monster and send it away together. This little thing is so powerful, I'm afraid it won't be able to do so well." Qian, don't let him escape."

Several Taoist priests responded and surrounded Gao Jian, holding mahogany swords and talisman papers, chanting words in their mouths.Gao Jian didn't have the patience to listen to their babble, so he swung his stick, swept away the area, and knocked over some pedestrian stalls.

Bai and Mo lost money and laughed and were busy dealing with the aftermath.Mo Chengkong accused: "What's the matter with you? There are so many people here, do you want to tear down the whole bridge?"

"Master, I'm a chivalrous man, don't hinder me." Before he finished speaking, Gao Jian's whole body was tied tightly with fairy ropes. "You don't know right from wrong! Let me go!"

Mo Chengkong threatened: "One more word of nonsense, and I'll shut you up." Then he put on a smiling face, cupped his hands at the group of Taoist priests, and said with a smile: "You fellow Taoists, are you sure you've admitted your mistake? My little brother is a bit irritable, and he is not some evildoer."

The old Taoist refused to let go, and cursed and said: "If you say no, then you are not. What are you?"

Mo Chengkong just felt it was funny, waved his hands again and again, and said: "The next unknown person, of course, can't get into the eyes of the Taoist priest. But my two companions are both great figures, so I hope the Taoist priest thinks twice."

Only then did the old Daoer take a closer look at the three of them: the little boy was not good at all; the tall one was extremely handsome, but he couldn't resist the murderous aura rising from his body; Standing up, ignoring the crowds around him, he stretched out his hand to caress Mo Chengkong's cheek, and said with a frivolous tone, "It's an unforgivable crime for you, brother, to hurt our people. However, if you are willing to return with me This matter will be written off. I will guarantee that the two of them will leave safely..."

He couldn't speak anymore, his eyes drooped weakly with a crisp sound on his wrist.Then came the overwhelming pain.

Bairan had a gloomy face, as if he broke the old Daoer's wrist with a light touch, ignoring Mo Chengkong's astonished expression, he said coldly, "What more compensation do you want?"

"No, there's no need." The group of Taoist priests knew that they were not easy to mess with, and hurriedly dragged the old Taoist away.

Mo Chengkong threw the fairy and tripped one person, saying: "Don't rush away. You hurt someone, you should leave some compensation."

"This, my lord, what do you want? Magical artifacts, spells, money? Just ask."

"I want—the girl you tied up."

This group of Taoist priests put away their flattering faces, all of them looked nervous, and said: "Absolutely not! You don't know, this girl is a remnant of the ghost clan. If she is let go, how many people will be harmed."

"Don't you fake Taoist priests also harm the people?" Gao Jian was uncomfortable being tied up, and it was even more uncomfortable not to let him speak.

The old couple supported each other and squeezed into the crowd, retorting: "No, no, my girl is just bewitched... She, she is not a demon!"

"Where is it not?" In order to prove their remarks, they twisted the girl in front of everyone, and pushed her messy hair away, revealing a half-rotten face.Roll up her sleeves again, so that everyone can see her pale knuckles and pitch-black nails like dead wood.

The little girl's eyes were dull, and she didn't resist, letting them play with her.Regardless of the obstruction, the old couple rushed to her frantically, patted her cheeks, and tried to bring her back to her senses.She was stunned for a while, her expression was still numb, but she said: "Ah...mother...it hurts..."

The old woman wept with joy, hugged her tightly in her arms, and said: "Yu'er is good, Mom and Dad will find a way to take you home, ah."

The old Taoist shouted at the top of his voice: "Pull it away quickly, don't let this evildoer fool you." Bai Ran glanced at him and was too frightened to make a sound.

Mo Chengkong stepped forward and probed her wrist, knowing it in his heart, he turned to everyone and announced: "This girl is indeed an ordinary person, but—" He pulled down her collar a few inches, revealing a tooth mark on the back of her neck , "It's an ordinary person who was bitten and infected by a ghost."

And to a group of Taoist priests: "How do you priests plan to deal with her?"

"Naturally, this evil thing cannot be tolerated. Naturally, we should send her on the road as soon as possible." One person stroked his beard.

"That makes sense." Mo Chengkong pulled this person over, and said in a low voice, "To tell the truth, this fellow Taoist, I am a famous alchemist, and I studied under the people of Yunshenghai..."

"Wow."

"That ball of rope is the young master of Lingchuan Gao's family..."

"Wow."

"The young master who hurt you fellow Taoist is a clan member of the Cuiwangbai clan..."

"Wow."

"Therefore..." Mo Chengkong grinned, "Can we discuss this and let this girl be rescued by us? It's just a small merit, and you have practiced for a long time, and this time is not bad."

"But... why should I believe what you say?" The man took a step back to distance himself from him.

It's not easy to fool.Mo Chengkong also took a step back, looked left and right, and said, "Brothers, bright guy!" The fan who held the fan, the sword who drew the sword, Gao Jian jumped up and down, protesting: "You forgot to untie me! "

"You, what do you want to do?" The man made a gesture to escape.

"Don't get me wrong. This is not asking you to judge whether what I said is true or not."

The man reluctantly circled around the three of them "appreciating", humming and saying, "I've never met the real master, who knows if you're just pretending."

"Then...try?"

Sui Shuang let go of her hand, flew past her, and swept up the bright white sword light, cutting off the bondage of the girl's hands and feet with three strokes and two strokes.

"No, there's no need. A little girl's film, take it away if you want it." The man with a black face urged the brothers to leave.Everyone didn't know what happened and couldn't help asking questions. "Let's go, don't ask! What are you fussing about with these juniors?"

Mo Chengkong said with a smile: "I just reported my family name, I don't know if he understands or not."

The old couple and the girl thanked each other for their kindness, and Mo Chengkong hurriedly helped the three of them up, saying: "This girl can't be kept at all, but I can't bear to see you still not seeing each other before parting. Saving is not in vain, tell me it is What's going on?" Pointing to the back of the neck.

ferry girl

There used to be only one Luoshui River here, nourishing the people on both sides of the river.Later, a bridge was built over the Luoshui River for the convenience of commuting, and it was named "Luo Bridge".The population on the river bank is becoming more and more dense, and the scale of living is taking shape, gradually developing into today's Luoqiao Town.

Luoshui passes through the town, and residents in the town often use waterways to travel, so the ferry business has been prosperous for a long time.Most of these people live near the water, with their own boats tied in front of the door.This old couple's family is doing this kind of business.

The girl's name is Xiaoyu, she is fifteen years old, she is beautiful and graceful, very dexterous and capable.During the day when my father went out to pick up guests, she followed my mother to keep the house in order, and occasionally advised my father to stay home and take the pole.
