Chapter 22 River Temple ([-])
Jiang Yuan held the zombie's sharp claw with one hand, and slowly lifted that claw up little by little.

The zombie's eyes were full of fierceness. With a roar, it opened its big mouth full of fangs and bit Jiang Yuan's throat.

Jiang Yuan snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the zombie's neck, then slammed his forehead against the zombie's face.

"Oh!"

With a dull sound, the zombie's face was ripped apart, and the sticky black and green color slowly flowed down.

"Roar!!!"

The zombie became more and more angry, and its sharp claws stabbed fiercely at Jiang Yuan's chest.

Its speed is very fast, but now Jiang Yuan's speed is even faster.

Before the sharp claws could pierce, Jiang Yuan had already punched hard, hitting the zombie's face fiercely.

There was only the sound of bones breaking, and one of the zombie's fangs was broken by Jiang Yuan's punch.

"Are you cool?" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "Come and bite me!"

Jiang Yuan didn't give the zombie any chance to fight back, he rushed forward and wrestled with the zombie.

The zombie roared again and again, waving its sharp claws to resist continuously.

The black air emitted by the zombies became more and more intense, and the flames on Jiang Yuan's body were also burning fiercely.But neither the corrosive black air of the zombie nor the flames of Jiang Yuan seemed to have caused serious damage to the opponent.

However, where the two fought, the plants withered first, and then were ignited by the fire.

If someone looks down from Jiuquan Mountain, he can see the foot of the mountain at night, a fire spreading, circling, twisting and revolving in the grass.

The zombie's body is extremely hard, and Jiang Yuan's healing ability is amazing. The two sides have been fighting like this for several hours, and they are still inseparable.

After a fierce battle, the zombie's entire face was completely deformed, black and green juice splashed everywhere, its eyeballs had been blown out, and there was not much carrion left on its face.And Jiang Yuan was caught with several bloodstains all over his body, and white bones could be faintly seen in some deep places.

The rushing and turbulent water of the Xuan River began to calm down, and a layer of mist spread over the surface of the river.

Somewhere in the depths of Jiuquan Mountain, the short and sharp crowing of pheasants began to sound.

The sky in the east is pale, and the sky is about to light up. It is obvious that dawn is coming soon.

Seeing that the dawn was approaching, the zombie who was fighting fiercely with Jiang Yuan began to become restless. It took a chance to escape from the battle, turned around and ran towards the forest.

"Want to run?" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "It's not that easy!"

Jiang Yuan pounced, threw the zombie from behind, and pressed it firmly to the ground.

Then he raised his fist and slammed it down hard on the zombie's head.

The zombie roared again and again, and the ground was cut open while waving its sharp claws, and the soil piled up.

Even under Jiang Yuan's constant attacks, the zombies still struggled desperately and crawled towards the forest.

Jiang Yuan simply rode on the zombie's back and pressed the zombie's head firmly into the soil. No matter how the zombie struggled, he never let go:
"Leave it to me!"

Time passed little by little, and suddenly, the vast light pierced the darkness and cast it on the earth, and everything around it began to brighten.

When the sun shines on the zombie, a large amount of white smoke can be seen coming out of the zombie.

The zombie began to hiss and writhe in pain, struggling even more desperately to escape into the dense forest.

Jiang Yuan still firmly held the zombie, he stretched out a hand to snap out the only remaining eyeball of the zombie:

"Are you happy? Are you happy!"

As the sun rises, the light spreads across the earth, and the night finally passes.

More and more white smoke came out of the zombie, and it seemed that the damage from the sun was getting stronger and stronger. The zombie finally overturned Jiang Yuan who was riding on his back. It used its hands and feet like an animal, and quickly moved towards the forest. run away.

But after Jiang Yuan got up, he grabbed the zombie's feet and dragged it away from the forest little by little.

The zombie screamed again and again, and its sharp claws kept clawing forward in the mud.But Jiang Yuan didn't let go, dragging the zombie's legs to the rocky beach, completely exposed to the sun.

Under the sun's exposure, the zombie's body was covered with white smoke, and its struggle began to become weak.

"I'm about to run away, but you just want to keep me, now it's cool!"

The white smoke rose more violently, and the zombie's struggling strength became weaker and weaker, and its originally extremely hard body showed signs of melting like ice in the sun.

"It's over!"

Jiang Yuan raised his foot and stepped on the zombie's head.

Today's zombies, after being exposed to the sun, their bodies are no longer as hard as before, but instead become dry and brittle.

Jiang Yuan crushed the zombie's head without much effort.

"This is the boundary between yin and yang." Jiang Yuan glanced at the sun peeking out from the top of the mountain, "It's also...hope?"

After a while, the zombie turned into a pile of white ash under the sunlight.

A black ghostly aura emerged from the white ash, and under the sunlight, the ghostly aura continued to melt.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to absorb the ghost energy into his body.

As the ghost energy entered his body, Jiang Yuan felt the richness and abundance of this ghost energy. It took the shadow in his body a quarter of an hour to completely swallow the ghost energy.

After killing so many ghosts last night, and now absorbing the ghost aura of zombies, after being nourished by so much ghost aura, the form of flame finally matured a bit.

And Jiang Yuan's body also began to change.

The skin all over his body began to crack, and dense cracks spread all over his body.

"Ah!"

Suffering such pain, Jiang Yuan couldn't help crying out.

But the pain came and went quickly, and as the cracking of the skin stopped, the pain also disappeared.

The cracks in the skin were red, like magma flowing in it.

As for this body, Jiang Yuan didn't feel the slightest weakening, but instead became harder.

He looked at his hands, his fingertips were as hard and sharp as tiger claws.

He looked down at his feet again, and saw that his feet had also changed. Not only did they grow pointed nails, but they also became like claws, which could be grasped and stretched.

Jiang Yuan can even use the soles of his feet to grab the soil on the ground, and these feet are not human feet at all.

"That's great! In this state, I feel...more powerful!"

The Xuanhe River has long since lost its restlessness at night, and the sparkling river surface seems to be sprinkled with a piece of gold.The river crashed against the rocky beach, and the Jiuquan Mountain behind the mountain temple became lush and lush, and a layer of haze surrounded the mountainside like a tulle.

This kind of beautiful scenery is refreshing, who would have imagined that last night, there were ghosts and monsters rampant, taking people's lives at every turn.

Not far away, Lu Junsheng was sitting on the river beach in a daze, and the female ghost had already disappeared completely.

Jiang Yuan withdrew from the form of flame, his body kept getting shorter and smaller, and soon returned to the appearance of the frail scholar.

When he came to Lu Junsheng's side, killing intent surged in his heart.

Lu Junsheng had obviously stumbled across his secret by accident, and if he was kept alive, his secret might be leaked.

But after experiencing all kinds of things last night, Jiang Yuan was a little bit unable to do anything.For a moment, he couldn't decide whether to kill or not to kill.

Lu Junsheng noticed Jiang Yuan's arrival, and he murmured:

"She left and I was going to marry her. I shouldn't be resentful when I heard that she disappeared in Xuanhe, I was already in despair. It's my luck to meet her again this time"

Jiang Yuan stood behind Lu Junsheng, raised his hand, put it down again, and raised it again. Hearing what Lu Junsheng said, he asked casually:
"what is her name?"

"Sun Xiaohe." Lu Junsheng replied, "She will always be my wife."

Jiang Yuan's hand was about to grab Lu Junsheng's neck, but when he heard the name, his heart suddenly moved:
"What's her name? Sun Xiaohe? Sun Xiaohe who works at Fengqi Restaurant? Where is she from? Who else is there in the family?"

Looking back, Lu Junsheng was puzzled, Xiao He is not a beauty, why would Jiang Yuan know?
But he still answered truthfully:
"That's right, Xiao He used to work in Fengqi Restaurant. She was originally from Taiping Town, and there is a grandfather named Sun Daming in her family."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, he didn't expect the female ghost to be Sun Xiaohe.

Immediately, he felt a little sad again. Before Sun Daming had no hope of escaping, he still missed his granddaughter and entrusted his life savings to a stranger, but he didn't know that this granddaughter had died.
When he looked at Lu Junsheng again, he was shocked again.

I saw that Lu Junsheng's eyes were empty, and his face was terribly white, with a black air faintly revealing, completely looking as if he was terminally ill and not far from death.

Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered that he had heard Lin Zhenghao say that even if demons and ghosts were wiped out, they would find living creatures to parasitize again.And last night when Yan Gudao burned the strange corpse, he also said that the mutation of the corpse was due to the entry of evil energy into the body.

In this way, what they said seems to be ghostly.

No wonder the ghost energy has an indescribable longing for the living. Come to think of it. After Sun Xiaohe passed away, her ghost energy entered Lu Junsheng's body
Only then did the murderous intent in Jiang Yuan's heart fade away completely. Since Lu Jun's life is not long, why should he be in a hurry to kill him at this time.

He turned around and went to the grass to search for a while, and finally found the lost gold ingot.

He came to Lu Junsheng with a gold ingot and said:

"Her grandfather asked me to give this to her as her dowry. But now I don't know who should give this gold."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help feeling ashamed.

Originally entrusted by others, it is ultimately a matter for others.What's more, it was Sun Daming's last wish, but he failed it himself.

"Is the world too dark?" Jiang Yuan felt depressed, "Or am I not strong enough?"

Lu Junsheng took Jiang Yuan's gold ingot, dug a hole where Sun Xiaohe disappeared with his hands, and buried the gold ingot.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, and went back to the Heshen Temple to find a piece of clothing to put on.

When he came out of the temple, Lu Junsheng was still sitting on the river beach in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, leaving only a walking corpse.

"I'm leaving," Jiang Yuan said as he passed by him, "Brother Lu, take care."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan gradually left here along the road.
