Diji, she holds the crematorium script firmly

Chapter 5 Silent River Demon
Everyone believed that Sigu City was an absolutely neutral existence, and the eighteenth floor, as the signboard of Sigu City, was naturally neutral as well.

Under the restaurant, there are nine floors where you can buy and sell everything. The first floor sells gambling, the first floor sells jokes, the first floor sells monsters, and the next floor goes down. The eighth floor is talked about by people. It only sells information. , It is said that it is a life of selling.

The eighth floor has the best intelligence network in the world, the most reliable news, and the strictest tone.

People who come to Sigu City to look for things, it is impossible not to know the eighth floor of the [-]th floor, Shuge.

Of course, Huan Ning also came here at the first time, after all, the clues of Taotie were spread from here, but at that time there was no weight or balance.

Huan Ning exchanged a phoenix tail feather for a piece of information - Taotie disappeared in Pingnan Mountain, and gave her a demon lamp.

The radiant tail feathers are the rarest ones on the phoenix. They will only fall when they reach nirvana in adulthood. They are in heaven and earth, and only the tail feathers of those in the Nine Micro Palace are qualified to be called rare. Fetish.

Huan Ning didn't doubt the value of that tail feather at all, nor did she doubt the neutrality of the eighteenth floor, although she doubted the pavilion master's statement that Wan Ling Geng is the best delicacy on the eighteenth floor.

After the demon lamp left the city, it kept pointing to an unknown cave. At first, Huan Ning was also faintly aware of the fairy aura in it, although he blocked part of the aura in time and put on a mask before jumping down——

But who would have thought that there would be such a high-grade soul-binding silk in such a place.

After all, Taotie is not something with brains.

Huan Ning played with the pen, "Remember? You are just a bluffing pen monster, how dare you sit in the bookstore?"

The pen demon whispered, "All intelligence in the world is exchanged through letters. I am the leader of all pens, so I am naturally qualified to sit in the book pavilion. Besides... Besides, who would offend a scholar like you!"

The corners of Huan Ning's mouth rose slightly, "Oh? Then let me ask you again, who ordered you to lure the immortal officials to Naping Nanshan?"

The pen demon was furious, "What temptation? You can question my strength, but not my business ability!"

"That's it."

Huan Ning sighed, lightly pinched the two ends of the pen, exerted a slight force, and the monster immediately howled.

"and many more."

The boy who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.

Huan Ning slightly raised his eyelids, "What's the matter?"

The boy said: "It doesn't seem to be lying."

While the pen demon was suffering, he also begged Ai Ai for mercy, "Feng..."

Huan Ning glanced at it, it immediately changed its words, and its voice became softer and tenderer, "My dear sister, I am not teasing you, but the Taotie has indeed disappeared there, but none of the immortals who have gone recently survived, if Tiangong finds out, It will definitely involve me on the eighteenth floor, I did this only to stop you, not to make things difficult."

Huan Ning nodded, understood, "I see."

Just as the pen monster loosened, a moment later a sharp pain hit, it let out an "ah", the whole pen was broken into several pieces, and could no longer say anything.

Huan Ning let go of his hand, let the pen shatter on the ground, smiled softly: "But I didn't find Taotie, so what's the use of keeping you?"

She got up, grabbed the spirit stone and returned it to the boy, "Let's go."

The young man frowned slightly, and did not pick up those spirit stones. Although there was no fluctuation on his face, Huan Ning still smelled a subtle dissatisfaction.

"You killed it, how do we get out?"

The Book Pavilion is on the eighth floor. There is a beast master on the top, and a life-slayer ghost on the bottom. There is no mechanism on the eighteenth floor. How can the two of them get out?
Just after I finished speaking, hundreds of pens on the desk vibrated together, as if they were competing for something, some burst of purple light, or lingered in red light, even the huge book desk and the whole room trembled.

After a stick of incense, a purple jade pen leaped out, the tip of the pen licked the ink that had not dried up, and drew out of thin air where the scholar had disappeared, unexpectedly reproducing the exact same appearance of the scholar.

The scholar still had a long beard and chest, lowered his head, picked up the purple jade pen, and began to write articles by himself.

The maids also came back to life, playing the piano and painting, as fresh as before. A row of maids came and led them out with smiles, as if nothing had happened.

Huan Ning, who had already left the eighteenth floor, stood by the Ji River, looked at the young man, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The boy glanced at her, "You knew this earlier?"

Huan Ning tilted his head, "I don't know."

She paused, "I just don't think that the dignified eighteenth floor will let such a weak little monster and a group of puppets guard the book pavilion."

The young man beckoned, and a blue boat in the Jihe River slowly rowed over, "You're betting."

Huan Ning jumped up, "Of course, because I'm not afraid of losing."

The boy looked at her on the shore.

Huan Ning's eyes were as clear as the moon, she didn't think there was anything wrong with killing an insignificant demon.

The young man's eyes were calm and deep, he didn't know whether it was joy or anger, but he didn't look as happy as Huan Ning.

One of them is looking for Taotie, the other is looking for Mingyao, they can be regarded as the same way.After all, the boy got on the boat.

The rower was a girl in red, with a beautiful face and long black hair. Seeing the two talking as if they were bickering, she smiled sweetly, "Where are you two going?"

"The City Lord's Mansion."

Huan Ning and him were almost in unison.

Such a big event happened in Sigu City, eleven immortal officials died, and Shuge obstructed the visitors in every possible way in order to conceal the truth, and the demon slayer did not send anyone to investigate for a long time, so the Lord of Sigu City naturally couldn't get rid of it Relationship, at the very least, is a hidden and unreported crime.

This time I thought of going together.

The girl in red covered her lips, "The two immortals can sit down, and the City Lord's Mansion is still some distance away."

The young man responded, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath and stopped talking.

Huan Ning sat on the bow of the boat by himself, his skirt fluttering in the wind rose and fell like a blooming lotus in the river.The boat parted from the clear water and passed both sides of the river bank. The willow branches brushed by, disturbing the slender reflection of the goddess in the pool.

She suddenly thought of Jiangnan in the world, and it should be the time when everything is blooming in April.

The boat trembled suddenly.

The young man opened his eyes, the boat girl looked calm, stopped the boat and said, "I'm afraid it might be caught by some aquatic plants, I'll go down and have a look."

I saw Hong Yi throwing his body into the Ji River, causing only a very shallow splash, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The boat stopped on the Jihe River, and now it has left the village, and is traveling to a deserted place, drifting alone.

The girl hadn't seen her for a long time, but the boat was shaking more and more violently, Huan Ning also sensed something was wrong, leaned over to look, and saw countless aquatic plants growing in the bottom of the still clear Ji River just now, dancing black like the girl's long hair , recklessly frenzied, constantly growing against the hull.

... Another trap.

This Sigu City can't use spells, but there are many strange and evil spells. The aquatic plants don't feel spiritual power and monsters, but they grow like crazy.

The two looked at each other, knowing that if the algae were allowed to grow through the bottom of the boat, the next step would be to drag them into the water and do whatever they wanted.

Huan Ning was silent, she didn't know what happened to her poor phoenix falling into the river.

So she turned her head and looked at the boy sincerely, "I don't know how to swim."

As soon as the words fell, the hull of the boat was torn apart, and Huan Ning fell into the water.

The Ji River is not wide, but the water of the Ji River is the key to maintaining the barrier, and the suppressing curse contained in it prevents Huan Ning from releasing any spiritual power.

She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to inhale, and the algae came over, strangled her slender neck, and even penetrated into her mouth, turning into a cloud of foul air.

Huan Ning only felt a stream of fishy smell flowing into his abdomen, his eyes were blurred suddenly, his limbs felt burning pain, and his body also uncontrollably fell straight to the bottom of the river.

She thought in a daze that the water was so dirty, so she subconsciously held her breath and stepped on the bottom of the river with both feet.The moment he touched the dirty mud, a ray of clear energy hidden in the consciousness poured into the meridians, and the body relaxed accordingly.

Seeing her not moving for a long time, the water plants wrapped around her neck loosened and turned into a woman's hand, sticky and boneless, gently caressing Huan Ning's face.

The lower body of the boat girl is still covered with dark and tangled water plants, but her upper body has turned into a girl and stops beside her, looking at her obsessively, "It smells so sweet."

She leaned against Huan Ning's neck, opened her mouth slightly, and inside were two rows of fine and sharp fish teeth.

The slight pain stimulated Huan Ning to open her eyes, her eyes were calmer than ever, but after soaking for a long time, the bottom of her eyes turned slightly red, making her look a little strange.

She raised her hand to stroke the banshee's head, and said softly, "Is my blood delicious?"

The banshee felt a rush of fiery air descending down her throat, causing her stomach to turn into blood for a moment, her eyes widened involuntarily, and a strange moan came from her throat.

"Hehe-"

Huan Ning smiled innocently, "Why don't you drink more?"

As he spoke, he smeared his own blood on the banshee's face. The blood did not melt when it entered the water, but adhered tightly to the banshee's face.

In an instant, the banshee's pretty face had become unrecognizable facial features, and her nasal bone was exposed.

Huan Jing quietly looked at the banshee. The banshee was rolling silently in the water, excruciatingly painful, burning her internal organs like karmic fire, but her esophagus and vocal cords had been burned, and she couldn't make any sound at all. Dying struggle.

The water around him suddenly moved, Huan Ning looked indifferently, across the Jihe River, a snow-like shirt was scattered in the water, and the boy slowly approached her from a distance.

Huan Ning pondered for a while, then stretched out his hand to grab the banshee's throat, and with a little force, her pain was instantly ended.

She closed her eyes again, the ray of clarity receded, and she slowly fell to the bottom of the river again.

When I woke up again, it was already dusk.

The evening wind blew in from the window of the inn, maybe it was a bit cold, Huan Ning suddenly moved, and slowly opened his eyes.

Huan Ning looked out of the window, it was already late, there were only a few pedestrians in a hurry on the deserted streets, the dark blue night was eroding the city, the lights came on from the east until the city was full.

The boy had disappeared, and even the burden of the sealed magic bone was gone.

Someone knocked on the door.

Huan Ning opened the door. It was a blindfolded young man with a pale complexion, holding a blind stick in his hand, and bowed very politely, "Someone asked me to bring you a message."

The aura in this person's body belonged to mortals, and he couldn't pick out the slightest turbidity.

Huan Ning felt relieved, "What are you talking about?"

"A son said that he has something important to deal with. If the girl wants to continue the investigation, we will meet here in seven days."

Huan Ning thought about it, "What day is it today?"

The young man answered her: "The seventh day of April."

A wisp of smoke bloomed in the sky above Sigu City, circling and flying into the clouds, and finally turned into a faintly visible long feather, its tail was as gorgeous as brocade and as bright as fire.

Huan Ning watched the smoke dissipate, and murmured: "That's a coincidence, I also have something important to do."
