Chapter 772: There Is Hope in the Midst of Danger

This rain didn't seem to be normal rain, but no matter what, when the heavy rain started, the water vapor in the clouds found an outlet, and the whole Chengtian City was in heavy rain.

In Chengtian City, there were ghosts and gods looking up at the sky. The city god's divine light was restrained, as if he was a mortal on the roof and rain, but the rain couldn't touch his body.

"If you want to destroy him, make him crazy first."

Da Yong's fate is not over, but if he keeps tossing like this, sooner or later he will ruin his ancestors' foundation, but this monster is really rampant.

"Lord City God, the monsters are making trouble tonight, and the wandering gods have arrested and killed many of them. There are still demons gathering near the capital, which is really rampant and hateful!"

"Just do your duty."

"Yes!"

The city god disappeared as soon as he finished speaking. He was not just looking at the appearance of the rain, and the remaining ghosts and gods frowned slightly and looked at the sky.

In the Zhenjun Temple outside the north city, the sleepy Yan Shouyun seemed to be awakened by the sound of rain. I don’t know why the temple keeper is so easy to talk to. Anyway, he allowed Yan Shouyun and the old man to live in the Fumo Hall.

He had met Tan Yuanchang in the past few days, and the other party also invited Yan Shouyun to live with him temporarily, but he still declined the other party and chose to live with Shao Zhen in the Zhenjun Temple temporarily.

Of course, through Tan Yuanchang, Yan Shouyun also knew a lot of things.

At this moment, Yan Shouyun looked at his side. Shao Zhen, who was sleeping soundly on the floor, stuffed the old quilt for the old man, and sat wrapped in the quilt himself. There was an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

In the past, or before coming to the capital, Yan Shouyun would mostly ignore this feeling, but now it is different. He gradually understands that his spiritual perception is different.

Yan Shouyun opened the backpack given to him by the Zhenjun Temple keeper and took out a stack of scrolls from it. The gods on it were vivid. He reached out and touched each scroll, as if asking the gods.

Summoning the gods is not just about casting a spell, it is actually a spell that requires a long-term bond, and these statues of gods painted by Yan Shouyun himself seem to give him some special power, making his spiritual perception more acute.

Yan Shouyun took out a few copper coins and threw them lightly, "dingling bang bang" sounded, and the front and back of the copper coins gave a certain feedback.

"Danger is by the water. There is order in chaos"

After hesitating for a while, Yan Shouyun stood up and opened the door of the Demon Subduing Hall, revealing a gap.

Suddenly, the wind and rain felt like pouring back, so Yan Shouyun hurriedly closed the door, but when he lowered his head, with the help of the light of the ever-burning lamp in the hall, he saw a statue of gods flying out of the box.

Yan Shouyun walked over and saw that it was the portrait of the great god Lu Xin. At this moment, two raindrops actually fell into the eyes of the statue of Lu Xin, which was stained with ink, as if the statue was crying.

"Hiss"

Yan Shouyun's scalp suddenly numbed, and a strong feeling rose in his heart. He suddenly looked up at the statue of Lu Xin in the hall, but compared with the scroll, the statue in the hall seemed to be normal.

At this moment, Yan Shouyun's thoughts were particularly agile. He suddenly recalled something that Tan Yuanchang said. Chief Constable Xiao was originally the last disciple of the great god Lu Xin.

Not good! The chief constable is in danger!

It seems ridiculous that a master of the innate realm is in danger, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Now almost all the evildoers in Chengtian Prefecture who are protected by the imperial power regard Xiao Yuzhi as a thorn in their eyes and flesh, and sooner or later they will find a way to deal with him.

It's just that Yan Shouyun thought that Xiao Yuzhi's presence could at least stabilize the situation until the Lantern Festival, but he didn't expect that something would happen today!

Yan Shouyun rushed to the box almost immediately and stuffed the statue into the box. When he was about to leave, he looked at the statue in the hall, then carried the box to the statues of the Demon Subduing Emperor and others, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yan's practice is still shallow, I beg all the gods to help me!"

"Dong Dong Dong"

Although I know that the old Taoist priest may still be in Chengtian Mansion, I shouldn't put all my hopes on it.

Yan Shouyun kowtowed three times, but saw some dust on the two statues on the left and right of the Demon Subduing Emperor. The next moment, a chain slipped from the hand of the statue of Lu Xin, and a pen slipped from the hand of the great god Yun Lai.

The chain is just an ordinary thin iron chain, and the pen is also an ordinary wooden pen painted with gold paint. They are all things put on the statue when the clay is made.

But for Yan Shouyun at this moment, whether it is a coincidence or not, these two items are the magic tools given by God!

"Thank you, God!"

Yan Shouyun picked up the chain and pen, then opened the door and closed it again, took out the raincoat from the backpack, put on the hat and rushed into the rain. He couldn't enter the city now, so he could only go around the river.

——

In the Chengtianfu County Office, a baby's cry startled Xiao Yuzhi, who was sitting cross-legged in the classroom. He opened his eyes. The room was quiet, and there was rain outside. How could he hear a baby crying?

"Woo wow."

Another cry, Xiao Yuzhi, who had not taken off his clothes, immediately got up from the bed, put on his shoes and opened the door. He frowned and looked at the heavy rain in the night, convinced that the sound came strangely.

"Help!"

A cry seemed to come from the night, and it seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. Xiao Yuzhi hesitated for a moment, but chose to rush out immediately. He had absolute confidence in his martial arts, and no one could stop him even if he encountered danger.

After rushing far out of the county government office and onto a deserted street, Xiao Yuzhi frowned. Why did he rush out so impulsively? This was not right.

In a corner outside the city, a man dressed as a mage gradually showed an evil spirit. In front of him was a magic platform, and there was a little man on the altar, which was smoked with various colors of smoke. The little man also had Xiao Yuzhi's birth date and seals on his body.

The heavy rain seemed to avoid the altar in this area, but the mage was still soaked because he was sweating.

"Quick, lead him out, I can't hold on anymore. The soul of the innate realm is no longer a mortal. Quick."

The mage trembled and whispered, and suddenly there were evil spirits flying around.

All the detectives have a habit. If they meet a suspicious person running away at night, they will chase him. Xiao Yuzhi is also like this at this moment. Although he has doubts in his heart in the city, he finally chases out of the city after discovering the suspicious person, and directly falls over the city wall to the outside of the city.

This is the direction of Kaiyang River. Xiao Yuzhi's people have already shot darts forward in the air.

"Uh" "Ah"

The two people running away in front groaned, and a burst of black air appeared on their bodies. Xiao Yuzhi immediately realized that these two people might be evil spirits. After all, they had dealt with them many times during this period.

At this moment, Xiao Yuzhi actually shook his sleeves forward, and a thin chain suddenly flew out from his sleeves, instantly wrapped around the person in front, and then suddenly pulled.

"Ah!" The person in front exclaimed, but the person had already arrived in front of Xiao Yuzhi, and the latter did not allow the other party to explain anything, and directly slapped the back of his heart.

"Bang~"

The soft touch should have hit the flesh, and the other "person" seemed to have escaped far away in the heavy rain.

Xiao Yuzhi fell to the ground outside the city. In the distance, he could vaguely see the lights of the Thirteenth Floor and the pier. He looked at his hands, and the wide clothes slipped off. The chain was wrapped around a skin-wrapped skeleton.

What is this!

Xiao Yuzhi shook the dry bones in his hand and threw them on the ground. Looking around, there was rain everywhere, but there seemed to be no wind.

No, there is wind!

"Ah."

A gust of black wind suddenly rose, sweeping the surrounding grass and trees. Xiao Yuzhi quickly retreated to avoid it, but he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. Several cold lights flashed across his shoulders. He ducked to avoid them, but blood also appeared on his shoulders.

Xiao Yuzhi looked forward. It was a man with a beast face and claws. Looking around, a dark shadow seemed to emerge in the rain and smoke.

"Monster."

"Master Xiao, we don't want to fight you either, but who let you block our way to success!"

As he spoke, the beast-faced man disappeared directly, but there were many evil figures around him. ,

The beast-faced man went directly to a distant corner and sprinkled Xiao Yuzhi's blood on a corner that seemed to have nothing. As a result, a straw man appeared there and caught Xiao Yuzhi's blood.

At this moment, a steel nail was immediately nailed into the knee of the straw man.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yuzhi felt a piercing pain in his left knee, and the surrounding black shadows all rushed over at once.

"Xiao Yuzhi, you have entered the formation we set up!" "You will die here tonight, hahahaha--"

"Very good, let's see if you monsters are capable enough. In fact, I have long wanted to kill them."

Xiao Yuzhi roared, and his innate true energy was completely released. When General Duan was still there, he told him that once you enter the innate realm, you need to have absolute confidence in yourself, and you can defeat the so-called monsters!

The burst of innate true energy immediately shocked the person casting the spell in the altar over there. After the whole person fell to the ground, blood gushed out wildly, and the surrounding guardians were stunned.

"Roar--"

A roar like a tiger's roar seemed to come from the formation.

"Boom boom, the whole formation seemed to be shaking slightly"

On the other side, Yan Shouyun used the magic walking technique and rushed to the Kaiyang River after a long detour, but no matter how long he searched near the dock and the Thirteenth Floor, he could not detect any abnormality.

Yan Shouyun rushed to a river bank and shouted in the heavy rain.

"Chief Constable - Chief Constable -"

But no one responded.

"Hua La La La"

The rain was very loud, but the sound of the water seemed to become more rapid. Yan Shouyun subconsciously looked at the river surface, and it seemed that the Kaiyang River was rising.

That's right!

Yan Shouyun suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly towards the river surface.

"Boatman - boatman, come quickly, boatman -"

After shouting a few times, there was a wave on the river surface, and there was actually a boat rolling out of the water and quickly reaching the shore. On the boat was a boatman wearing a straw raincoat.

"Immortal, do you want to use a boat?"

Yan Shouyun showed surprise on his face, and almost jumped on the boat without waiting for it to dock, and also made the boat sway to the center of the river again.

"Boatman, do you know where Chief Constable Xiao is?"

The boatman on the boat shook his head.

"I don't know, but a patrolman said tonight that there was an evil spirit on the river bank. We can go and see!"

"Take me there quickly!"

Yan Shouyun spoke eagerly. The boatman didn't say much. After saying "Sit tight, Immortal", he pushed the bamboo pole and the whole boat broke through the waves and rushed forward, scaring Yan Shouyun to sit on the boat.

When the boat passed a certain position, the chain in Yan Shouyun's hand made a noise. This sound made the boatman seem to notice the Taoist's hand for the first time, and his face showed a trace of surprise.

Yan Shouyun seemed to understand in his heart and immediately looked at the shore, which was a little far from the river bank, close to the city wall and with trees.

"There, there, dock——"

The boat then headed towards the shore, but when it reached the shore, the boatman spoke.

"Master Immortal, someone seems to have imposed a restriction here, and the spiritual energy is not penetrated!"

Prohibition?

Yan Shouyun reacted immediately, but how to break it? He thought for a while and looked at the pen in his hand. He held the pen like a knife, sharply moved it forward and then made a horizontal stroke!

Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared in the air. Yan Shouyun didn't know how to break the restriction, so he simply wrote the word "open" in the air, which meant he could do whatever he wanted.

As soon as the word fell, it turned into golden light and shot straight ahead. A hole suddenly opened in the heavy rain and fog, and a fishy smell floated out, revealing a scene dripping with blood.

Xiao Yuzhi stood under a tree, holding the head of an unknown beast in his hand, and slowly turned back to look at the river.

Yan Shouyun was stunned for a moment, and then saw Xiao Yuzhi fall down.

"The chief catcher——"

After exclaiming in surprise, Yan Shouyun threw out the chain in his hand. The chain seemed to extend infinitely, flying directly to Xiao Yuzhi and wrapping it around him. After Yan Shouyun pulled it, he slid over with Xiao Yuzhi.

With a "pop", Xiao Yuzhi fell into the river dragging blood stains, and the river turned red.

Yan Shouyun quickly pulled Xiao Yuzhi up. The boatman helped with the pole and finally dragged Xiao Yuzhi onto the boat.

The boatman on the boat looked at Xiao Yuzhi in shock, who was almost a bloody man on the boat.

"Is this Xiao Yuzhi, the chief instructor of the Criminal Department?"

Yan Shouyun was still grieving, but at this time there was a strong demonic aura coming over him, at least that's what he felt, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Come on - the monster is coming!"

The boatman frowned slightly, then thought about punting the boat and submerging the boat and people directly into the river.

Yan Shouyun immediately covered his mouth, but found that there was no water around him. He immediately looked at Xiao Yuzhi again, seeing that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"What should I do, boatman, do you have any way to save people?"

The boatman was in trouble.

"Master Immortal, with my little magic power, how can I bring the dead back to life?"

Return from the dead? Yan Shouyun was stunned for a moment. The chief catcher was already dead? He stood there blankly and slowly fell to his knees.

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault."

However, Yan Shouyun didn't notice that the boatman had a look of surprise on his face and was saluting to one side. Outside the boat, there was a figure crossing the water waves and getting onto the boat.

"Taoist Master, the time has not come yet for Xiao to arrest the head!"

Yan Shouyun slowly raised his head after hearing the words, and then stared blankly at the person in front of him. He was not the Kaiyang Water God as he imagined, but an old man with a white beard wearing a green shirt.

However, if Yan Shouyun could not recognize the old man in the past, now he knew who he was at a glance, so much so that his eyes widened and his pupils dilated slightly.

——

On the river bank over there, the restriction had gradually collapsed, and several figures fell into the forest belt that was almost a Shura field. Even they shuddered a little when they saw the place where corpses were scattered everywhere.

"All dead?" "It looks like there are no survivors."

Even the evil mage, who was originally a human warlock, was already bleeding to death.

Several figures arrived at the riverside and saw the blood stains and the blood on the river surface.

"It seems like he fell into the river?"

Someone picked up the little straw man over there and felt it.

"It seems that he is no longer alive."
