Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 418: Spirit of the Spiritual River

In the City God’s Palace.

Feng Qingyan has already learned that the Youdu ghost general is about to be captured.

However, he did not care too much about it, after all, it was within his expectations.

In fact, Youdu had only just sent out the ghost generals to investigate the land gods at this time, which was already later than he had guessed, otherwise each land god would not have been given a soul-catching chain.

It is impossible for Youdu to remain indifferent to the appearance of the Land God Temple...

As long as Emperor Tubo had not returned, he was not afraid of Youdu at all.

Now if the Ghost King of Youdu dares to come, he will dare to kill him. No matter how many come, he will kill them all.

He has enough incense now.

He left the matter of the Ghost General of Youdu to Tuyang, and he himself transformed himself into a scholar, carrying a box on his back and headed north.

In the box, there is a black pottery flowerpot.

The bud of the red spider lily in the flowerpot is slightly tilted to the north...

In the month since the arrival of the Demon Night, he has been studying the black pottery flower pot, although he has not found anything. However, he found that the buds of the red spider lily always seem to lean in one direction. Even if he puts the black pottery flower pot in one direction, the buds still lean to the north...

This may indicate that the second "taboo" of birth is hidden in the north.

Besides, he also needs to go back to the Burial Mountain to take a look.

Look at the funeral palace.

After a day, he walked out of Qingshan Territory.

The buds of the red spider lilies in the cage were still leaning towards the north, and Feng Qingyan continued to head north.

After more than ten days of travel, Feng Qingyan finally returned to the Burial Mountain, but he did not show up. Instead, he quietly returned to the Burial Palace.

On the gate of the funeral palace.

Still only two "taboo" patterns appear...

Not long after, Feng Qingyan left the Burial Palace and continued heading north with the boxes on his back. However, after leaving the Burial Mountain, he found that the buds of the red spider lily were leaning towards the south.

"Could it be that the mountain ghost is hiding near the burial mountain?"

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised.

At this time, he was carrying the red spider lily and constantly testing the direction of the flower buds. He was surprised to find that the mountain ghost was really hiding near the burial mountain.

Could it be that the mountain ghost was born in the Burial Mountain?
Why is there no movement at all?

Moreover, the mountain ghost has been keeping silent, so that people in the world cannot feel its existence at all.

Not long after, Feng Qingyan came to Bocheng and discovered through the red spider lily that the mountain ghost was not hiding in Bocheng.

Then he went down the Lingshui River.

But after he walked more than two hundred miles, he suddenly stopped by a river.

He vaguely felt that this Lingshui River seemed a little different, so he stared at it carefully, and then some surprise appeared in his eyes.

The breath of the soul.

He vaguely felt that the Lingshui River was emitting the breath of soul.

Mountains have mountain souls, and rivers have river souls.

It seems that a river soul has been born in Lingshui River.

"I see……"

After a while, Feng Qingyan sat cross-legged by the river, took the red spider lily out of the box and placed it on the grass by the river.

At this time, the flower buds of the red spider lily leaned downstream, but soon leaned upstream.

Although the red spider lily sometimes moves left and sometimes right, it is centered on the Lingshui River, which means that the hidden mountain ghost is hiding in the Lingshui River...

"Mountain ghosts devour souls for food..."

Feng Qingyan said calmly, then picked up the black pottery flowerpot in one hand and went downstream.

Although it was difficult for the mountain ghost to find the exact location of the river soul, since Feng Qingyan already knew of its existence, it would not be too difficult to find it.

Break the void with one glance.

He can see through everything in Lingshui River.

Feng Qingyan walked about thirty kilometers and sat down on a stone by the river with a black pottery flowerpot beside him.

He looked at the river quietly.

The river soul is hidden in this river.

Although the river soul can merge with the Spirit River, it has its own consciousness. With its own consciousness, it will have a soul body different from the river...

Feng Qingyan ignored the river soul and just waited quietly.

Soon after, the river soul moved to another location, and Feng Qingyan frowned. If he continued to follow, the river soul would definitely notice him...

"Hold on."

Feng Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke. But Hehun ignored him, and didn't think he could find him...

"Hold on."

Feng Qingyan said again.

At this time, his voice, with a hint of divine power, just fell on the river soul.

This made the river soul tremble all over, as if it couldn't believe it, and it immediately became one with the Lingshui River vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm to you."

Feng Qingyan Road.

The river soul did not respond, but hid itself more carefully, and instantly moved itself more than two hundred miles away.

"The second taboo is that the mountain ghost has come to the world and feeds on souls. These souls are not just ghosts, but also mountain souls, river souls, etc. It is now hiding near the Lingshui River, looking for your exact location. If you are found by the mountain ghost, show up here immediately. I can save you and suppress the mountain ghost..."

Feng Qingyan looked at the Lingshui River.

Although he knew that the river soul had left, he was sure that he could hear his voice.

"Are you Mr. Baiyi?"

After a while, a line of words transformed from river water appeared in the river water in front of Feng Qingyan.

"If the Lord in White you are talking about is the man in white who appeared in the sky and carried the coffin when the Blood Queen came to the world, then it must be me."

Feng Qingyan said with a smile.

"What about the bronze coffin?"

Another line of text appeared in the river.

"Since you are the Lord in White, why don't you carry a coffin? Instead, why do you carry a flower pot?"

Before Feng Qingyan could answer, the third line of text appeared in the river.

"This is the bronze coffin. Do you believe it?"

Feng Qingyan gestured to the black pottery flowerpot.

"Do not believe."

The river spirit responded.

But it really didn't sense any malice from Feng Qingyan, otherwise it wouldn't have responded.

"Is the mountain ghost near the Lingshui River? You are the soul of the Lingshui River, so you should be able to hide and sense the existence of the mountain ghost? Otherwise, you would have been swallowed by the mountain ghost long ago..."

Feng Qingyan Road.

"The mountain ghost is indeed near the Lingshui River..."

The river spirit responded.

At this time Feng Qingyan didn't say anything else, just closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

"Are you really Mr. White?"

Seeing that Feng Qingyan didn't say anything, He Hun couldn't help but ask again.

It did feel a strong sense of danger, otherwise it would not have responded to Feng Qingyan, nor would it have expected that Feng Qingyan was the famous White-Robed King.

The main reason why it can survive to this day is that it is integrated with the Lingshui River.

Can transfer position instantly.

But there will always be a day when the mountain ghost appears exactly where it is, and then it will have no chance to escape.

There is another very important reason, which is that the mountain ghost does not want to attract attention, does not want people to know about its birth, and even more does not want to attract the "Mr. in White".

Otherwise, the river soul would not have been swallowed until now.

"Where is your Qingshan coffin?"

"If you let me take a look at the bronze coffin, I will believe that you are the Lord in White..."

"Mr. Bai Yi, can you really suppress the taboo?"

"Can you really save me?"

"Mr. Bai Yi, are you really Mr. Bai Yi?"

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Speak, why don't you speak? I am so lonely, no one has ever spoken to me..."

"Oh, no, it seems someone has spoken to me, but I don't remember what he said. He seemed to be able to see me..."

Although Feng Qingyan closed his eyes, he could still sense it.

At this time, he was a little surprised. Someone had discovered the existence of the River Soul a long time ago? However, it was not surprising that a great sage could discover the River Soul...
