On the bank of the Yellow River, deep in the forest, there was no one.
This was obviously a place that had never been developed by humans. There was not even a road around it, nor was there any trace of human life. However, strangely, there was a house where humans lived.
What was even stranger was that there were not two stone lions or other auspicious objects standing at the door of the house. Instead, there were two ferocious ghosts with green faces and fangs.
At this moment, a mysterious man wearing a straw hat came to the door.
The malevolent ghost at the door actually lowered its head meekly and retracted the fangs on its face. Its attitude was extremely respectful.
"Master, you're back."
The mysterious man gave a faint hum, pushed open the door, and walked in.
The mysterious man did not close the door, but not long after he entered, the ghost at the door raised its head again and returned to its previous appearance.
The courtyard door was also closed.
The mysterious man went around the barricade in front of the courtyard and entered the courtyard.
The courtyard was very large. The ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and there was an armchair in the middle.
Not far from the armchair, there was an old locust tree. Under the locust tree, there was a large vat.
The large vat was emitting wisps of black cold air that could be seen with the naked eye. Even the old locust tree was stained with this layer of black cold air, looking extremely sinister.
However, after the mysterious person entered, the cold air in the large vat actually trembled for a moment. Then, it faintly transformed into a willful appearance and bowed to the mysterious person, as if welcoming his arrival.
The mysterious man walked straight to the armchair and sat down. He took off his straw hat and revealed a handsome face.
He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and a high nose bridge. He was none other than the person who had rescued Peng Peng, Hu Zhenlong!
He sighed slightly, and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
"What, are you in trouble again?"
Suddenly, a man's muffled voice came from the direction of the vat.
This voice was a little strange, as if it was muffled by something. It was also different from the voice of an ordinary man. It seemed to have a cold aura, and it made one's heart feel cold.
However, Hu Zhenlong's expression did not change at all. It was as if he had long been used to this voice. He casually replied,"I met a rather troublesome female corpse today. That thing has a strong resentment and seems to have stayed in the Yellow River for a long time.”
" Even you find it troublesome. It seems that it's a tough one." The man's voice could not help but become excited." Such a powerful thing, the resentment in its body must be greatly replenished!"”
" Heh, don't even think about it." Hu Zhenlong sneered and rudely poured cold water on it." This thing is much stronger than you and smarter than you. Not to mention that you can't control it, even if I help you catch it and throw it into your body, you still don't know who will be eaten in the end. I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."”
The man's voice sounded a little discouraged." What nonsense are you spouting? Chief Long, can't you let me have a thought?”
Hu Zhenlong said coldly," It's better to extinguish hopeless thoughts as soon as possible so that you won't be disappointed in the end.”
"Forget it. You've always been like this.”
The man quickly felt relieved and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the topic and said in a gloating tone," I've never seen you fail before. Why? Did you finally fail once this time?"”
" Actually, I could have handled it," Hu Zhenlong sighed helplessly." But then a few living people suddenly appeared. These living people hooked the thing and made it excited. In addition, someone risked his life to provoke the thing and was dragged into the water. I had to save it first. I couldn't care less about the thing at the moment. The thing ran away when it saw that the situation was not good.”
"Oh, that person was saved by you. You can be considered to have cultivated in your previous life. Only you can save him. If it was anyone else, I'm afraid they could only wait for death.”
The man actually put away his gloating tone from before and flattered Hu Zhenlong in a very serious and unobtrusive manner.
Unfortunately, this slap landed on the horse's hooves.
Hu Zhenlong said calmly," I didn't save him. I just fished him out of the river.”
"Then why don't you put him aside and focus on dealing with that female corpse? You might even be able to destroy it.”The man sounded incredulous.
"That won't do. I took the money from those people to fish out the corpse, so I have to fish this person out for them.”Hu Zhenlong's tone was very serious.
"But just fishing him up won't completely eradicate him. This person will still be in trouble in the future. I reckon he won't have many days to live.”The man's tone was somewhat regretful.
Hu Zhenlong did not answer. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused.
Seeing this, the man also quieted down.
After about fifteen minutes, the man seemed to have thought of something and spoke again," Chief Long, since you've already rescued her, why didn't you save her all the way? Saving a life was a good thing.”
Hu Zhenlong suddenly opened his eyes. His expression was unprecedentedly serious." The rules cannot be broken. Their money is only enough to get that kid out of the river. It's not enough for other things.”
