There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 190: The River God Takes a Fancy in Lu Yue
riverside.

A group of corpse retrievers are carrying out the corpse recovery work in an orderly manner. Although the head of the 'River God' has not been found yet, many areas have been ruled out. It is only a matter of time before the head of the 'River God' is found. Everything is moving in the right direction.

Examiner Zhong on the shore had her eyes fixed on the river surface. At this moment, her eyes suddenly became stern, as if she had caught something unusual. She turned her head sharply and looked straight into the distance at the shore.

There, a figure was waving vigorously.

It was the male college student in her team.

Examiner Zhong began to feel puzzled.

Shouldn’t the other party be resting at Wang Laosan’s house?

Why does it appear here?

Did something happen to Wang Laosan's family?

She glanced at the river and saw that nothing happened, so she walked towards the other party.

However, something strange happened. When Examiner Zhong was about to approach the male college student within a hundred meters, the male college student suddenly quickened his pace and moved away from him.

Examiner Zhong stopped and the male college student stopped as well.

Even at noon, the sky was still as gloomy as ink. The cold wind blew wildly, bringing a biting chill. The figure of the male college student stood in the distance, like a puppet, repeating the waving action mechanically and stiffly.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Examiner Zhong shouted angrily, his body straightened, his shoulders slightly tilted, facing the other party, and with a flip of his left hand, an ancient recurve bow appeared out of thin air. His right index finger and thumb were firmly placed on the bowstring, and a sharp arrow appeared.

Then he pulled the bowstring hard, tightening it and horrifying energy gathered at the tip of the arrow.

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow cut through the sky.

The male college student, who was waving like a lucky cat, suddenly let out a shrill scream. The moment the sharp arrow pierced his head, he collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

Examiner Zhong put away her bow, stepped forward to check, and found that it was a shell. Just as she was thinking about the reason, her cell phone rang. It was a voice message from Lu Yue.

At the same time, at the place where the corpse catchers had previously gone into the river.

Suddenly there was a loud shout: "I found it!"

Upon hearing the sound, the other corpse lifters came out of the water and saw an elderly corpse lifter swimming towards the shore, holding something wrapped in white cloth with a special black hemp rope wrapped around it.

All the corpse lifters rushed to the shore and gathered together to look at the white cloth package curiously.

The old corpse fisherman said solemnly, "I have been fishing for corpses for forty years and have been to all the big rivers and lakes. But this head has the heaviest resentment I have ever seen. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely fall into its hands. Fortunately, I used the black dog hair hemp rope passed down from my ancestors to temporarily seal it."

Others sensed the strong resentment and gave thumbs up.

At this time, a man wearing a diving mask in the crowd suddenly said, "There are some flaws on the black dog hair hemp rope wrapped around the white cloth. Let me see it."

"What flaw? This black dog hair hemp rope passed down from my family's ancestors cannot possibly have any flaws." Although the older corpse fisherman said this, he still handed over the head for safety reasons.

"Wait, your voice sounds strange, who are you?"

"Something's wrong. Were there not twelve of us going down to the river? How come there are thirteen of us coming up?"

"Hiss... there really is one more!"

Everyone quickly took off their masks and looked at each other, and found that they were all familiar faces, except the corpse rescuer who asked the question just now, who did not take off his mask.

At this moment, Examiner Zhong's voice came from a distance, but it was too late.

The extra person curled up his lips into an evil smile, turned around and jumped into the river.

With a "plop", it disappeared without a trace.

The remaining twelve people were shocked and jumped into the water without even having time to put on their diving masks. However, they were still a step too late and ultimately returned empty-handed, landing wet.

At this time, a figure came ashore on the other side of the river, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he held his head high and waved to Examiner Zhong and the twelve corpse lifters on the other side of the river.

This is naked ridicule!

The corpse retrievers were breathing rapidly and their faces turned red in an instant. Their combined age was over 500 years old and they had retrieved countless corpses, but they did not expect that today a ghost would sneak in and take away the most important things.

This is a huge disgrace and will ruin the reputation of their industry.

Examiner Zhong, who had just arrived, had a glare of knife-like eyes. He spread his feet steadily, tilted his shoulders slightly, and the recurve bow appeared in his left hand again, and he pulled the bowstring hard.

A sharp arrow whizzed out with unstoppable energy.

Whoosh!
The figure on the other side of the river grabbed the sharp arrow and showed a scornful smile on his face, as if mocking the other side that the same method had no effect on him.

The next second, there was a loud "bang".

The figure's head was blown to pieces, and its upper body was shattered. Finally, it quickly grabbed its head and rolled and crawled away to the other side of the river. It did not notice that a fragment of the arrow's explosion had embedded itself in its body.

……

As Lu Yue galloped, the shadow of the axe was everywhere. After harvesting ten strands of source energy in succession, he suddenly realized that all the people in the rough sketch had disappeared, and his heart was hanging.

Sure enough, when he hurried to the river bank, he saw some corpse lifters clenching their fists and glaring, their chests heaving, looking angry and red-faced.

The hanging heart sank completely to the bottom.

After all, it was still a step too late.

After reuniting with Examiner Zhong, she told him what had just happened. After some careful consideration, she concluded that the figure and the male college student were undoubtedly leather painted figures, and they were not inferior drafts, but fine products similar to the counterfeit Lu Yue and the female college student.

From beginning to end, the ghost painter remained like a ghost and never revealed his true face.

Now thinking back, the clue provided by Erbi Pen Fairy was a week ago. Perhaps the ghost painter was indeed in Kuhai Village at that time, but he left quietly after setting up this series of back-up plans.

Even if Lu Yue and his companions had not intervened, the ghost painter would have already considered the corpse of the "River God" as his own.

Lu Yue sighed repeatedly in his heart. He missed the opportunity this time. Considering the ghost painter's cunning and cowardly nature and methods, it would be a long time before he could find him again.

But at this time, examiner Zhong said, "I have already planted a mark on that leather painter. It can't escape. Maybe we can follow this line and go straight to the lair of the ghost painter."

Lu Yue's eyes lit up.

There are always people who better than you.

As expected of a member of the Demon Suppression Division, he actually has such means.

"What are we waiting for? The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. We should kill him by surprise and clear out his leather painting inventory. This will bring peace to the world and brightness to the people!" Lu Yue was eager to try and couldn't wait.

Examiner Zhong nodded, believing that speed is of the essence in war, and he agreed with this idea.

Just as they were preparing to act, suddenly, the sky darkened and a strong, cold wind blew up from the river, chilling and biting, making people's backs cold, their ears buzzing, and their eyes unable to see.

"What's going on? Why is the wind so strong all of a sudden?"

"This cold wind makes me feel like the spiritual energy in my body has frozen."

"Me too."

The bodies retrievers on the shore were horrified. One of them pointed at the river surface and shouted in fear: "Oh no! We have brought up the head of the 'River God'. Now it can go ashore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pungent fishy smell came to his nose. When Lu Yue turned around, he saw the river was surging, and the waves hit the river bank again and again.

In the distance, a wet head with long hair slowly emerged from the water. It was Xiaohong, who had been struggling in the pseudo-sea of ​​suffering for fifty years and was revered by the villagers as the "River God".

At this moment, Xiaohong's figure gradually appeared. She was wearing thin summer clothes and had a thin figure.

It was coming toward the shore.

This is the first time it has set foot on the ground in fifty years.

"It is recorded in the files of the Demon Suppression Division that generally speaking, when these ghosts who died with grudges come to the world, they will vent their grudges at the nearest place, especially when the other party has experienced fifty years of reincarnation in the sea of ​​suffering, and their bodies have been stolen. After coming ashore, they will definitely choose to take revenge on the living."

Examiner Zhong's whole body was tense, and even she found it difficult to remain calm.

Myths and legends throughout history record that when gods get angry, natural disasters occur constantly.

From a certain perspective, Xiaohong is the "river god" of this river.

The twelve corpse lifters and examiner Zhong at the scene were all facing a formidable enemy, except Lu Yue, who suddenly felt a burning sensation on his back, as if something foreign was hot. He hurriedly took off his backpack and discovered that the hot object was actually the Good Marriage Token.

Before he had time to think about why the token changed, there was suddenly no one around him. The twelve corpse lifters avoided him from afar, and even Examiner Zhong looked shocked and bit his lips tightly.

"What are you doing..." Lu Yue was at a loss.

“Lu... Lu Yue, the river god has set his sights on you.” A corpse retriever said in a trembling voice.

Lu Yue turned his head and looked straight ahead.

Just happened to meet the other person's dead eyes.

Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, I couldn't help myself.

The good marriage token in my hand is like taking Viagra.

It was piping hot.
