Great Swordsman

Amidst the heavy traffic, Li Mu followed Sha Luo through the bustling streets and came to the gate of a huge mansion.

"Master Shi Jianxian, this is Lord Hal's residence." Sha Luo said.

Hal is the minister of the Giant Elephant Kingdom. Although he cannot be said to be under one person or above ten thousand people, he is not far away. Otherwise, he would not be able to represent the Giant Elephant Kingdom as an envoy.

Therefore, Hal's mansion is extremely luxurious. The red sandalwood gate alone is worth thousands of gold. The rivets and copper rings on the gate are also made of red gold. Even the town house lions on both sides of the gate are also made of white jade. Withered!
And standing outside the gate of the mansion, standing on tiptoe, you can see the pavilions behind the wall courtyard.

How luxurious is this mansion!
Naturally, this is also related to the style of Nanyang. Here, the more luxurious your mansion is, the more face you will have on the outside, and the more respected you will be!

Sha Luo stepped forward to knock on the door, and not long after the transmission, he saw a fat figure rushing out of the door: "Poetry Sword Immortal! Is it really Poetry Sword Immortal?!"

After not seeing him for several months, Hal seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, until he saw Li Mu, his eyes burst into brilliance!

"I've been looking forward to it day and night, and I'm finally looking forward to your old man's arrival." Hal excitedly grabbed Li Mu's hand.

Li Mu dodged it in disgust, and said, "Master Hal specially wrote a letter to invite me, so naturally I have to go."

"Thousands of mountains and rivers, Shi Jianxian has traveled all the way, come into the house quickly, I will give you a bath immediately, no, I will wash you!" Hal excitedly invited Li Mu in.

As for Shaluo, Hal put his hands behind his hands, raised his chin, and said, "Good job, go back and receive the reward."

"Thank you, Mr. Hal." Sha Luo smiled, cupped his hands, and left.

After entering the mansion, Li Mu found that the luxury of Hal's mansion exceeded his imagination.

Behind the red sandalwood gate is a transparent Lingbi that is two feet long and one foot high. In the Lingbi, a snake-like aura swims around like a living thing, it is extremely miraculous!
Bypassing the shadow wall, there is a bluestone road behind, no, the ground is not paved with bluestone, but blue jade!

On both sides of Qingyu Road, there are spiritual bamboos planted on one side, and a small fish pond on the other. The water in the pond is as clear as ice, and it is obviously some kind of spiritual water. The koi in the water shake their heads and tails, and their eyes are vivid. It seems that they are spiritual fish with cultivation base!
Going forward, along the corridor to the left, there is a garden full of exotic flowers and plants.

Turning another corner, I saw another yard where monsters were raised. Li Mu looked inside and saw a dragon-scaled horse, a red fire eagle...

He felt that two lemons grew in his eyes, and everything he saw was sour.

This fat man Hal is so fucking rich!

"Shi Jianxian, my house is a bit poor, and Shi Jianxian made a joke." Hal said a little embarrassedly.

I joke?
What your mother said was a joke, right?

Li Mu looked at him expressionlessly, and after confirming that he was not showing off, he sighed: "Master Hal, how could I laugh at you, I..."

I'm so envious that it's too late!

"Just don't make jokes. I'm still worried that Sword Immortal Shi thinks my family is poor and won't make friends with me!" Hal laughed and said, "Sword Immortal Shi can call me Hal from now on!" …

Li Mu looked at this luxurious mansion, and was speechless for a moment.

After half the salary, he said: "Brother Hal, then don't call me Shijianxian from now on, it's a bit of a birthright."

"Haha, Brother Li, be refreshing!" Hal happily took Li Mu to the main hall to sit down. Naturally, some servants offered spiritual tea and spiritual fruit. In the sound, dance lightly.

These dancers are all well-cultivated. They sing and dance in the hall, and even rise up against the wind, dancing in the air like a goddess, which is too beautiful to behold.

You really know how to play... Li Mu can swallow... It's amazing!
The baby was bulging at the side, looking at the melons and fruits on the table, and stuffed them into Li Mu's arms.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two got down to business.

"Brother Hal, let's talk about the elephant demon." Li Mu asked while sipping tea.

Hal also put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "To tell the truth, Brother Li, this time, the disaster of the elephant and demon has intensified."

Hal told Li Mu that there is a blessed land called Tianxiang in the Giant Elephant Kingdom. It is the inner cave and the outer blessed land, and the two are connected by a stone bridge.

Some time ago, a group of elephant demons suddenly rushed out of the cave, killed anyone they saw in the blessed land, occupied the blessed land in a very short period of time, and blocked the entrance to the cave.

The King of the Giant Elephant sent people to attack several times in an attempt to take back the blessed land, but unfortunately, he was defeated repeatedly.

This is not over yet, the group of elephant demons kept singing day and night in the blessed land, and after a long time, they actually summoned a large number of birds and monsters to guard the blessed land together with the elephant demons.

Today, this blessed land called Tianxiang is already a paradise for monsters and beasts!
Even in the past few days, those birds and monsters in the blessed land have been attacking human monks everywhere, and they seem to invade the whole island!
Li Mu asked curiously: "Brother Hal, can you tell me about the cave first?"

"Naturally no problem!" Hal said enthusiastically, "The celestial cave in my Giant Elephant Kingdom was originally an elephant forest covering a huge area. Later, when the aura revived, this elephant forest was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, separating the inside and the outside. The bridge can be entered. And the other side of this stone bridge is the blessed land, so if you want to enter the heavenly cave, you must occupy the blessed land! Brother Li, I have no choice but to write to you for help. Please brother Li, you must Help me!"

"Brother Hal, don't worry, I will try my best." Li Mu said.

Then, the two chatted about the strength of the Elephant Demon in the Heavenly Elephant Cave.

"Elephant demons are strong and weak, but Brother Li, don't worry, the strongest elephant demon will never exceed the eighteen earth evil spirits!" Hal vowed, because there are only eighteen earth evil spirits in that blessed land!
Eighteen?
Li Mu was startled, Nanke's Kunlu Peak only had six earth-shattering spirits, this is a blessed land of celestial phenomena, it is three times that of Kunlu Peak!
Moreover, Li Mu is only at the 34th realm of Disha, if he can go to this blessed land to practice, he will be directly at the [-]th realm of Disha when he returns to Daqian!

"However..." Hal told Li Mu with a serious expression. Although the elephant monsters are difficult to deal with, the most terrifying thing is the group of bird monsters. These bird monsters do not know where they came from. Yaoqiang, six days ago, a bird demon with an extremely terrifying aura appeared, which shocked the monks of the Giant Elephant Kingdom to withdraw from the Tianxiang Paradise for ten miles overnight!
"Brother Hal." Li Mu asked deeply, "What do you think the elephant and bird demons are planning to do?" …

"This group of beasts must want to occupy the Paradise!" Hal plausibly said.

That's right, monsters have spirits, such a blessed place, how could they just sit back and watch them be occupied by humans?
As for the leopards in China, this is the case in the giant elephant country, so the monsters in other countries are probably the same.

Li Mu's expression was solemn. He had a hunch that there would probably be more and more battles between humans and monsters in the future!

"Brother Li, what are you thinking?" Hal asked.

Li Mu came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, Brother Hal, it's still early, take me to see that blessed land first."

"Brother Li, why don't you rest for a night first?" Hal rubbed his hands a little greasy, and said shyly, "I will also do my best to let Brother Li experience the happiness like a fairy!"

Is your happiness serious?
Li Mu looked at the nose and the heart, and said solemnly: "Brother Hal, you misunderstood me, I am not that kind of person!"

"Ah, I was being reckless." Hal corrected his mistake and hurriedly said, "Why don't I take Brother Li to meet the ruler of the Giant Elephant Kingdom? There will be a state banquet!"

Li Mu squinted his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Hal, you invited me here to solve the disaster of the elephant demon, but now that I am here, you are making excuses three times and four times, why is that?"

Hal turned pale, and said, "Brother Li, I don't, I just..."

Hal seemed to have something to hide, his hesitant appearance made Li Mu wish he could poke his mouth open with a hot dog.

Hal finally said, "Brother Li, it's actually because of the ghost ship."

Ghost ship?

Li Mu recalled the ghost ship that Sha Luo had mentioned to him, and couldn't help but move in his heart: "Could it be that the ghost ship appeared in the blessed land?"

"It didn't appear in the blessed land, but it appeared in..." Hal sighed, and he told Li Mu that this place is seventy miles away from the blessed land of astronomical phenomena, and there is a big river in the middle. The ghost ship appeared on this road. In the big river!

"Brother Li, this matter is top secret, you must not spread it out! Otherwise, everyone in the Giant Elephant Kingdom will be in danger." Hal said in a low voice.

It really appeared... Li Mu was really curious about the ghost ship, he asked: "Since the ghost ship appeared in the river, shouldn't it be enough for Yufeng to fly over?"

"It's useless, no matter how high you fly, you can't avoid the ghost ship." Hal said anxiously: "So Brother Li, I'm really doing it for your own good. If you encounter a ghost ship, you really have to die !"

Li Mu smiled, and said: "Brother Hal, I have a great spirit, and most importantly, I am not afraid of ghosts, just take me there."

Seeing his constipated expression, Li Mu knew that this fat man must be afraid of death so he didn't dare to go, so he said, "If Brother Hal is inconvenient, just ask someone to guide me."

"Ah, convenient, convenient!" Hal said in surprise.

"It's convenient to take me there?" Li Mu frowned, secretly thinking that I misunderstood Brother Hal!

"Of course...not." Hal's fat face blushed, and although he was ashamed, he shook his head quickly, and his face was streaked, and he said, "I mean, I, I can tell someone to tell Li Brother go."

"..." Li Mu was speechless to this fat man. …

Soon, Hal arranged for a monk named Shi Lei in his mansion to lead the way.

Shi Lei obviously doesn't know about the ghost ship, he only knows that Li Mu is Lord Hal's important guest, if he takes good care of Li Mu, the road to practice in the future will be smooth!
"Brother Li, take care all the way." Hal sent Li Mu to the gate of the mansion, and held his hand affectionately, hoping to use his affection to move Li Mu and make him change his mind.

But the joy of human beings is not connected, Li Mu just shook his hand with some disgust, and said, "Brother Hal, farewell!"

Leaving the mansion, Li Mu first threw the doll into the wooden bowl, then followed Shi Lei on the dragon-scale horse prepared by Hal, galloped all the way, left the capital, and then galloped towards the southwest.

On the way, Shi Lei introduced the local customs here and there from time to time, but he never asked about the relationship between Li Mu and Hal, knowing how to measure.

Moreover, from Shi Lei's mouth, he learned that his ancestors were still Dagan people, but later he went to Nanyang for some reason, and settled down in the Giant Elephant Country after going through many twists and turns.

"My lord, further ahead is the largest river in the Giant Elephant Kingdom, called the Chu River!" Shi Lei reined in his horse and pointed to the rapids hundreds of meters away that crashed against the shore.
"Chu River?" Li Mu's heart twitched, could this be the big river where ghost ships haunted?

Li Mu stretched out his hand to signal Shi Lei to stop.

He thinks Shi Lei is a nice guy, just to be on the safe side, don't let him take risks with him.

"My lord, is this?" Shi Lei was puzzled.

"You wait here." Li Mu said as he rode his horse forward.

The dragon-scaled horse stepped on the soft grass and slowly approached the Chu River, but at a distance of 50 meters, the dragon-scaled horse suddenly neighed uncomfortably and hesitated. No matter how Li Mu flattered it, it would not go any further. Take half a step forward.

Li Mu didn't force himself, and rose directly against the wind, slowly drifting towards the Chu River.

Looking down from a high place, Li Mu found that the Chu River was more than [-] meters wide, the river was rushing, and the waves were blooming.

But other than that, there are no other abnormalities.

However, when Li Mu entered the water of the Chu River, the rushing water suddenly suffocated. Immediately afterwards, overcast clouds covered, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and then a huge pointed-headed double-sail sea boat appeared strangely on the Chu River!
This ship is very old and ancient, the sails are worn out, full of big holes and small holes, the sides of the ship are also full of cracks, dark green moss, the anchor hanging on the right side of the ship is also rusty, at first glance it looks like It grew together with the hull.

Moreover, there was no one on board, and the silence seemed to be the end of the world.

The Chu River was rushing, but this boat sailed quietly on the river at an extremely slow speed.

This is the ghost ship?
At this moment, Li Mu's heart was beating like a drum, and his whole body was trembling. A thought called terror was quickly occupying his mind like a spark that started a prairie fire.

Something is wrong!
Li Mu's complexion changed, and he quickly recited the Bing Xin Jue silently, while circulating the awe-inspiring energy of heaven and earth.

Golden ripples overflowed from his body, and in the void, streaks of black smoke were like ice meeting fire, turning into nothingness amidst the whistling sound.

Li Mu held his mind tightly and dispelled the fear in his heart. At the same time, golden ripples overflowed from his child's hole. Looking at the ghost ship again, he saw that the ghost ship that was empty just now was full of...'people'!
Some have disheveled hair, hideous faces, missing arms and legs, one-eyed iron hooks, or faces as pale as snow, as if they have sunk into the sea for a hundred years!

These 'people' were densely packed on both sides of the deck of the ship, because there were too many 'people', the sides of the ship creaked and creaked, as if the next moment, the side of the ship would be squeezed by these 'people'!
So many ghosts? !
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Li Mu was still terrified when he saw it at this moment!
Especially, when he met the eyes of these ghosts, it was as if he was staring straight into the abyss, and his soul seemed to be sucked away!
and many more!

wrong!

At this moment, Li Mu suddenly realized that it wasn't as if he was about to be sucked away, but...his body seemed to be really being sucked away by the ghost ship!
