"Friend?" Bai Xiaoyun was a little confused when he heard that.
"Xiao Gui, can you show yourself?" Shen Luo asked via voice transmission.
After waiting for a while, no one responded. When Shen Luo was about to ask again, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the water beside him, and a hazy green figure emerged from it.
Shen Luo looked over and saw that he had a square face and ordinary looks. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his body was slightly hunched. He was wearing a dark-colored robe, and his hands hung at his sides, reaching his knees.
Bai Xiaoyun could tell at a glance that it was a demon soul, and his heart tightened. He was surprised at its identity, and also surprised that he had not noticed its existence at all before.
"I'm sorry, but if I move my real body, the noise will be too loud, so I have to appear in this form." The man in the black robe bowed slightly to Shen Luo.
"Who is..." Bai Xiaoyun looked at Shen Luo and asked.
"He is Fellow Daoist Shan Yuan, who was once my contracted summoned beast. It's been a thousand years since we last saw each other. This is Bai Xiaoyun, an old friend of mine." Shen Luo introduced them to each other.
"Just call me Xiaogui." The man in black robe said with a smile.
"My fellow Daoist, your magical powers are extraordinary. I was unable to detect your whereabouts." Bai Xiaoyun sighed sincerely.
"I have been resting at the bottom of the Moon Mirror Lake for many years and have not moved for more than a hundred years. My body and aura have long been integrated with this place. It is indeed not easy to find me." Xiao Gui explained.
"Xiao Gui, since you are staying here, do you know if there is an underground river passage that connects the inside and outside of Zhenhai Pass? We want to pass through here and go inside the pass." Shen Luo asked.
"Yuzhou is close to the sea, and there are quite a few underground water caves. There are many waterways connected under the Yuejing Lake, but I have never checked them, and I don't know whether there are underground rivers leading to the interior. You wait here, I will talk to my descendants and ask them to explore it first." Xiao Gui heard the words, thought for a moment, and said slowly.
"Thank you." Bai Xiaoyun thanked.
The figure in the black robe turned around and shrank into a vortex of water that appeared below him, then disappeared.
Shen Luo and Bai Xiaoyun walked on the water and returned to the small island in the middle of the lake.
The two of them talked about what happened after they separated, and a layer of gloom loomed in their hearts.
"I didn't expect the situation at Zhenhai Customs to be so tricky? Is the mountain monster really so smart and observant?" Shen Luo asked.
"I didn't dare get close to the city. I was a hundred feet away and I deliberately concealed my breath. But he still heard the noise. Then a dog demon in the Mahayana period rushed out of the city and headed straight for my hiding place. It was because I wanted to get rid of him that I failed to get back in time, allowing the Golden Falcon demon to find you." Bai Xiaoyun said indignantly.
"In that case, even if we can find the underground secret passage, we may not be able to pass through safely..." Shen Luo hammered his palm with one hand and said worriedly.
"We can't take care of this right now. Look at this small area of Yuzhou, there are so many big monsters entrenched. I'm afraid they are planning something big. If we continue to stay here, it will definitely not be a good thing." Bai Xiaoyun said with a frown.
"You're right. I have the same feeling. This time I can only take a risk and give it a try." Shen Luo nodded and said.
