"The Qinhuai River is bustling with people coming and going. It shouldn't have given birth to something like this," Shen Luo said doubtfully.
"I also find this strange, but the world is unpredictable. It's not strange to have some unexpected things. Moreover, there are many resentful couples on the Qinhuai River. Many people have drowned in the past, so there's no lack of Yin Qi, "Horse-Face said unconcernedly.
"But isn't this Subduing River Beast used to block Yin Qi? How did it turn into Yin Qi?" Shen Luo asked again.
"That's right. This thing was originally used to block Yin Qi. There's one on each of the twenty-four bridges in Jianye City. However, there's nothing wrong with the others. Only the Zhenhuai Bridge has a problem. The Yin Qi in this Subduing River Beast is entrenched. It actually dares to wantonly devour the Qinhuai Water Ghosts and even control them to throw themselves into the water, disrupting the Yin Qi and Yang Realms. It really deserves to die, "Horse-Face said. His anger surged as he took another big gulp of wine.
"It's a pity that a portion of it managed to escape in the end," Shen Luo said with a sigh.
Horse-Face's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He suddenly said, "Come find me after sunset tomorrow. I'll ask you to do something for me. You'll naturally repay me then."
"What is it?" Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat and he asked.
"You'll naturally know when you come tomorrow." Horse-Face didn't intend to explain further. After saying this, he stuffed the wine gourd into his sleeve and left first.
Shen Luo was full of doubts as he rushed back to the Bai Family. Suddenly, he thought of something and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "A thousand years later, the reason why the Soul Reaping Horse-Face recognized me, could it be because of today's matter?"
"What did he say back then? It's impossible for me to still be alive. What's going on?" The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He felt cold sweat break out on his back.
"No! Since I know in advance, I won't let this happen again! "Shen Luo clenched his fists and made up his mind.
… …
On the evening of the second day, Shen Luo finished his practice for the day and went to the secluded pavilion as he was told.
When he arrived, the sun had not completely set. He did not see Horse-Face's figure in the pavilion. After waiting for a long time, Horse-Face finally arrived. He still looked like a pale-faced scholar.
"Not bad. You're rather punctual." Horse-face glanced at Shen Luo and nodded.
"Senior, what do you want me to do? You can tell me now, right?" Shen Luo said.
"Don't worry, it's not some dangerous matter of vanquishing demons. I just want you to sneak into the Shing Wong Pavilion and bring me three sticks of incense," Horse-face waved his hand at Shen Luo and said seriously.
"Go to the City God Pavilion to steal incense?" Shen Luo thought that he had misheard and could not help but ask.
"What do you mean by 'steal'? That's a horrible name. He wants you to go to the City God Pavilion and retrieve three old incense sticks that have been tainted by the scent of incense, "Horse-face coughed softly and said.
Shen Luo frowned and looked at Horse-face in confusion.
"To tell you the truth, I suffered some internal injuries in a battle with the Water Fiend a few days ago. However, I still have some matters to take care of in Jian Ye City. I can't return to recuperate for the time being. I can only steal some incense from Lord Shing Wong to recuperate. "Horse-face hesitated for a moment before explaining.
"So that's how it is. But why don't you go and borrow it yourself, senior? Why do you want me to go and retrieve it? "Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully. However, he thought of something and asked.
"Nonsense! I have an underworld body, and the City God is a rank higher than me. It's naturally inconvenient, "Horse-face rolled his eyes and said.
Shen Luo was still hesitant when he heard this.
"Don't worry. You have a Yang body. It's just taking three incense sticks that have been tainted by the scent of incense. It's nothing to Lord Shing Wong. At the very most, I'll send someone to offer incense and pray. There won't be any problems. As long as you do this, I'll definitely reward you greatly, "Horse-face urged impatiently when he saw Shen Luo hesitate.
Hearing the words' greatly reward ', Shen Luo's heart couldn't help but tremble. He couldn't help but think of magic tools and celestial jades.
These were the two things that he wanted to receive the most.
"Alright, I'll help you this time," Shen Luo didn't hesitate and immediately nodded.
"Remember, it's the darkest old incense in the incense tube on the offering table. Don't take the wrong one." Horse-face let out a sigh of relief and reminded him.
"I know," Shen Luo replied and ran out with small steps.
The City God Temple in Jian Ye City occupied a large area. There were many visitors and incense offerings throughout the years.
When Shen Luo arrived at the temple, the sky was already completely dark. When an elderly temple attendant was about to close the temple doors, he was stopped by Shen Luo. He said that he had come from afar to burn a stick of incense for Lord Shing Wong and donate money for the incense.
The temple attendant saw that his words were sincere and let him in.
Shen Luo entered the temple and saw the Merit Box in front of him. He didn't say anything and took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and threw them in.
The temple attendant on the side had rarely seen such a generous pilgrim. He immediately beamed with joy and took the initiative to take the incense for him.
"You should take the incense yourself to prove your sincerity," Shen Luo saw this and quickly stopped him and said.
The temple attendant seemed to think that this was reasonable and retreated, allowing Shen Luo to take the incense himself.
Shen Luo rummaged through the incense tube for a while, and with great difficulty, he pulled out three dark-colored incense sticks. He quietly put them into his sleeve, and then picked out three bright-red heart incense sticks, and stepped forward to light them.
When he was offering the incense, he didn't make any vows in his heart. He only repeatedly apologized and asked Lord Shing Wong not to bicker with him.
Then, he left the Shing Wong Temple and returned to the pavilion.
"That's right, that's right," Horse-face took the three incense sticks from Shen Luo's hand and said with a smile as if he had received a treasure.
Then, he took the three incense sticks and took a deep sniff.
Shen Luo saw that the three incense sticks hadn't been lit, but there was a scarlet light at the tip of each incense stick. As Horse-face inhaled, it quickly burned towards the end of the incense stick.
The smoke from the three incense sticks was completely sucked into Horse-face's nose. A layer of rosy luster appeared on his face and his expression became very comfortable.
However, the incense sticks that had been overheated immediately turned into ashes and scattered.
"Could it be that this is the scene of an immortal eating incense sticks?" Shen Luo opened his eyes wide and looked at this scene. He also felt very surprised.
"You've done well. This is your reward. Take it." Horse-face looked very satisfied. He slowly reached his hand into his sleeve and took out a three-inch long black scroll. He handed it to Shen Luo.
"It's not immortal jade …" Shen Luo sighed in his heart when his gaze fell on the scroll.
However, he still had a trace of hope. He hoped that this scroll was a magic tool.
Shen Luo received it and slowly opened it with suspicion. He saw a black silk book in front of him. There were crooked bright red seal scripts written on it. His heart couldn't help but sink.
"Psychic contract?" When he saw the few words at the top of the scroll clearly, a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
