Legend of the Gu Demon

Light rain falls and clouds gather,

Above the Huanglong River,

It was as if the rain curtain in the sky was torn apart by big hands, and the raindrops were scattered on the river.

The raindrops hit the surface of the river and splashed with water. It was so noisy!

Ningchen walked quietly by the river, leisurely holding an oil-paper umbrella, and slowly walked along the Huanglong River.

The raindrops fell on the umbrella cover, making a thumping sound, but it did not disturb Lingchen's mood at all.

The black eyes were still so plain, but a few thoughts flashed from time to time.

"My next stop should be the Thunder Mountains!"

"It's a pity that Weijiazhai is still some distance from the Leici Mountains!"

"And there have been no merchant ships seen on the river in recent days!"

"It seems like it will still take some time to reach the Thunder Mountains!"

When Ningchen thought of this, he smiled helplessly, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, he took out a round ball like jade from his pocket.

The whole body is vermilion, flawless, and looks like a work of art!

Ningchen lowered his head, looked at the jade ball in his hand, and smiled slightly.

Then he raised his head, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach.

As soon as the round ball was in my stomach, all the fatigue from the long journey disappeared.

On the contrary, he has sharp eyesight and sharp ears, and his mouth is clear and clear!

Ningchen carefully thought about the ball he had just swallowed.

"Well...the taste of this person's soul is not as good as Wei Qingge's!"

"Presumably this person's cultivation and realm are inferior to Wei Qingge's!"

Ningchen lowered his head and looked at the countless balls in his pocket. These were the souls of the Wei family's Gu Masters...

Upon closer inspection, there are actually hundreds of them. A rough count suggests that the number may be no less than five hundred!

And most of the qualities are bright copper and vermilion jade, and only a few are bright silver!

Apparently, after Ningchen feasted for several days, he also discovered the differences in the qualities of these souls.

The quality of a first-level Gu Master's soul is bright copper.

The soul quality of a second-level Gu Master is Zhu Yu.

The quality of the soul of a third-level Gu Master is pure silver.

And the higher the level, the better the quality and the purer the color!

By analogy, the soul of a rank four Gu Master is of radiant gold quality, while the soul of a rank five Gu Master is of crystal purple quality...

However, Ningchen has never seen the soul of a fourth-level Gu Master.

Even if there is Wei Qingxiao's body, it can't be extracted with just the third level of Soul Swallowing Gu.

Unless Ningchen upgrades the soul-swallowing Gu to level four, but at the moment, I'm afraid it's still early.

This soul-swallowing Gu Ningchen has never heard of before, and it is very likely that it is one of the handiworks of the Ghost Soul Demon Lord.

The soul-swallowing Gu can only be explored slowly, otherwise once it is damaged, you will never be able to get another one!

But despite this, Ningchen still has no idea of ​​changing his life Gu.

Not to mention the many risks of replacing the life Gu, which will also affect Ningchen's future Thunder Dao practice.

Taken together, it does do more harm than good!

The more Ningchen thought about it, the more he thought about it. Before he knew it, it was raining heavily...

"Hey! Brother! It's raining so hard, why are you walking alone by the river?"

At this time, a rather concerned cry came from the distant river!

When Ningchen heard this, he went to look for fame and saw a group of passenger ships sailing quietly on the river.

Like a winding giant dragon entrenched above the river,

Next to the huge merchant ship, there are many light boats accompanying it.

At this moment, there was a light boat slowly heading towards Ningchen.

Taking a closer look, I saw who was riding this boat.

He has a tall body, rough complexion, gray beard and gray hair. He is obviously a middle-aged man!

At this moment, he was wearing a bamboo hat, leaning out of the cabin and asking questions hurriedly,

"Brother, do you want to come and sit on our merchant ship?"

"My lady said, 'You are walking alone by the river. It's raining so hard. It's not too late to get off the boat when the rain stops!' "

"I don't dare to offend our lady!"

"And it's raining so hard now, should we leave or stay, brother?"

Hearing this, Ningchen had some guesses about the young lady in his mind.

But his face remained calm, then he smiled slightly,

"Okay, it's good to warm yourself up!"

Step~

Ningchen stepped onto the middle-aged man's boat and returned to the merchant ship queue...

Ningchen stepped onto the merchant ship, raised his head, and suddenly felt a sense of splendor and splendor in his heart!

The red walls and blue pillars, the wide and tall sails, and the tight ends are very majestic. They are very different from the ships seen in Weijiazhai before!

There are countless cabins, beautiful buildings, closed doors, dark screen windows, and pavilions on the first floor, all showing elegance and splendor!

"I don't know which family's eldest lady is out doing business!"

Ningchen sighed softly in his heart and turned to look at the other merchant ships behind the stern.

Those merchant ships were naturally not as magnificent as the one at Ningchen's feet, and even their grandeur was far inferior!

Upon closer inspection, most of the doors on the merchant ships behind were closed, and the goods inside could be vaguely seen through the window screens.

Fine wines from various places, specialties from various places, natural materials and treasures, and even some wild beasts sleeping among them!

"It seems that the owner of this fleet of merchant ships is not only extremely wealthy, but at least he is rich and well-fed!"

Ningchen chuckled, feeling a little curious about this 'eldest lady'.

Thumb~thump~thump~

"I'm sorry, sir, it's a bit abrupt to invite you on board to take shelter from the rain in such a hurry. I'm sorry for bothering you..."

A rather gentle female voice came,

The sound was not loud, but it was very gentle. It passed through the layers of rain and fell into Ningchen's ears, making Ningchen seek the sound.

However, this sight stirred up a storm in Yu Ningchen's heart!

Taking a closer look, I saw a beautiful figure in blue clothes walking towards me.

Her black hair is hanging down and draped over her shoulders. It is delicate and black, very soft and beautiful.

Her eyebrows are like the light smoke of green willows, her eyes are like the bright moon and the breeze, her skin is like white snow, and her lips are pink and tender.

There is no trace of pink on her face, but it is extremely soft. She smiles lightly, pure and flawless.

Wearing an emerald green dress, so fresh and elegant!

As elegant as an orchid, as beautiful as a lotus, and as gentle as a river!

Even a thousand-year-old demon like Ning Chen was slightly stunned by her appearance when he saw this girl.

There is no doubt that even from Ningchen's perspective, this girl is a peerless beauty!

At this moment, the girl held an umbrella in one hand to cover Ningchen, and the umbrella cover also moved the raindrops aside,

She looked at Ningchen silently, then smiled slightly, took out a handkerchief from her arms,

"This young master, please use..."

When Ningchen saw this, he came back to his senses, smiled gently at the girl, took the handkerchief,

"Thank you very much..."

Ningchen had been standing on the deck just now, and his whole body was already wet from the rain. This handkerchief came just in time.

Seeing Ningchen taking the handkerchief, she smiled slightly, as gentle as water,

"This young master, my name is Zhang Xinci, and I am the deputy leader of this caravan. I haven't asked you for your name yet. Can you tell me something..."

"Haha...just call me 'Qingyue'..."

Ningchen arched his hands slightly, laughed, and said his name...
