032 White-Haired Monster
As soon as I heard this, I was scared to death, I was so unlucky, why did I meet the water ray on the bamboo raft?
The water monkey lifted me up and shouted, "Don't look at the water." ”。
"He's learning from you, and if you don't pay attention, he'll hook your soul. With that, the water monkey picked up a harpoon and thrust it into the water.
There was a 'poof' and the harpoon seemed to be stuck in top of something, and a hint of crimson came out of the water.
I admire water monkeys in my heart, but anyone with a little common sense knows that water has refraction, so the position we see on the surface of the water is actually very different from the position in the water.
And the water monkey didn't look into the water at all, so he just plugged in.
I felt dizzy in my head for no reason, and I sat on the bamboo raft gasping for air.
The water monkey threw down the harpoon and cursed, "I actually let him run away." ”。
"Are you alright?".
I gasped for a while, looked up and said, "Thank you, big brother, if it wasn't for you just now, I might have been finished." ”。
"It's okay, I heard my master say, you are a bone picker, the things in the water are indeed different from those in the mountains, this gourd bay looks ordinary, but in fact there is a hidden mystery, and its danger is not much weaker than the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The water monkey waved his hand, not taking my gaffe to heart.
I have a crush on this big brother, who is not only very capable, but also kind.
"Remember, don't look at the water, the mandrill is the best at imitating humans, and one look at him can transform into you, and then seduce your soul, and more likely to pull you into the water. ”
The water monkey explained.
I said that it was the first time I had encountered this thing, and that it was like I had lost my mind, and I just looked at the water.
"Huh...... The evil animals in this water smell the breath of the living, so they come out to make trouble, but don't worry, with me, I will never let you make any mistakes. ”。 The water monkey smiled and walked on the raft for a while.
I said, "Big brother, since you're a corpse digger, why don't you go to the corpse?"
"Water doesn't wade through the mountains, the terrain of Hulu Bay is half mountains and half water, so I can't go, and you can't go. ”。
Water does not wade into the mountains, and mountains do not care about water, this is the rule of bone pickers and corpse diggers.
It's probably that you take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge.
"Then is your master Xie Sanye?" I asked again, I had never heard of Xie Sanye and the names of the water monkey.
If it weren't for Liu Ye leading me into this industry, I guess I would never have intersected with strange people like them.
The water monkey nodded and said, "Yes, Third Master Xie is my master." ”。
I said that's no wonder, he came to Liu Ye and asked Liu Ye to come forward to pick up the bones.
"Master said that the mountain has a mountain god, and the water has a water official, and today is the day when the water official relieves misfortune, so the spirits in this river are still somewhat restrained. ”。
The words of the water monkey are the same as what Liu Ye said, it turns out that today is the day when the water official relieves his misfortune, no wonder Xie Chengfeng wants us to pick up the bones today.
"No, shouldn't the river be a dragon king or a river god?" I never knew that there was such a thing as a water official to solve misfortune, only the river god and the dragon king.
The water monkey explained: "It doesn't mean that he manages rivers, seas and lakes, but the day of the Xia Yuan Festival is the day when the water official solves the misfortune, and it is the most suitable for going into the water." ”。
"As for the dragon king and the river god you mentioned, I've been wandering around Hulu Bay for almost ten years, and I haven't seen them yet. ”。
I barely understood now.
"Big brother, have you ever seen a dragon fish in Hulu Bay for so many years?"
"The dragon fish, not everyone can see it, it generally does not hurt people, so it rarely comes out, it is naturally cautious, and it does not dare to show its face at will. The water monkey floated on the bamboo raft for another while.
I thought to myself that the water monkey had never seen a dragon fish, so it was difficult to tell whether the dragon fish was real or fake.
"Sit tight, we have passed twelve whirlpools, this thirteenth whirlpool is the most powerful, it's not me bragging, no one can cross Hulu Bay in the Daning River except me. "The water monkey told me that I was in good spirits when I spoke.
I couldn't help but hold on to the hoops on the bamboo raft.
Actually, I don't know exactly what happened, but after a whirlwind, we approached Hulu Bay.
Looking towards the shore, the lively people were still pointing at the bamboo raft.
The water monkey was tired and sweating naked, he took a sip of the gourd on his waist, smashed his mouth and said: "There is something under the bamboo raft just now, it seems that the things in this water don't want us to approach Huluwan." ”。
When I got here, I could basically see the appearance of Hulu Bay completely, similar to the legend, the gourd vine didn't know how thick, and the gourd leaves alone climbed the entire mountain wall.
There are countless gourds hanging on it, and the branches and vines spread out from the water, intertwined with the aquatic plants.
And on top of the gourd leaves, there is indeed a prostrated corpse.
Because the corpse was upside down, and the gourd leaves were too lush, it was impossible to see who the corpse was.
But the closer I got to Huluwan, the more uneasy I felt.
And the water monkey didn't say a word after the thirteenth whirlpool, and his face was even more serious and didn't dare to let people look at it directly.
I panicked and couldn't help but say, "Big brother...... Is there really a Kumaguchi King in Huluwan?".
"I haven't seen King Kusaguchi, but I've seen water ghosts. The water monkey slowly leaned the raft to the shore, as if the current here happened to be cut off by this lonely mountain.
And above this lonely mountain is the view of the four seas.
The place where the three mountains divide the water is also called the three mountains polar region.
Huluwan was quiet and terrible, there was not even a single insect cry, a layer of cold sweat broke out unnaturally on my face, and the ghost whip in my hand did not dare to slack off.
"Come ashore!" the water monkey took the lead in Hulu Bay.
Because the gourd vines are so luxuriant, I hardly have a place to put my feet, and the water monkeys seem to have been to Hulu Bay and know that there is a hidden road under the gourd vines and aquatic plants.
With the ghost whip in my hand, I followed the steps of the water monkey and walked inside.
The aquatic plants were so lush that I was completely submerged in them after taking two steps, and the water monkey in front of me was invisible.
This startled me a lot, and I shouted, "Big brother, where are you?".
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something in the grass enter, and then a white-haired monster appeared in front of me.
The monster looked like a humanoid, with its feet erect, but covered in white hair, including its head.
I was already nervous, and the sudden appearance of this thing naturally scared me half to death.
I didn't even think about it, and the ghost-beating whip in my hand swept towards the white-haired monster.
These days, Liu Ye's cultivation is quite effective, and if I go down with this whip, even if it is a cow, the skin will be opened.
The white-haired monster didn't shy away from it, so he let the ghost whip slam on his body, thinking that I would leave a scar on him.
But in fact, the ghost whip didn't even knock off a handful of its white hair, and the white-haired monster snorted at me, and I didn't understand a word.
Then I saw it jump, jump past me, and fall into the water with a thud.
I'm stunned, what kind of monster is this, I'm not afraid of beating ghosts, is it human?
Hu Yelai said when he gave me the ghost whip that the ghost whip was originally a weapon for the mountain god to drive away spirits, and although this one in my hand is an imitation, it is more than enough to deal with unjust ghosts.
In this way, the white-haired monster is neither a ghost nor a demon.
Since it jumped into the water, I didn't have to hold on to it.
At this time, the water monkey appeared in front of me again and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you leave?".
I said I just called you, but you didn't answer.
The water monkey was also confused, and said with a strange expression: "Impossible, just at such a distance, I will definitely hear you calling me." ”。
"And I didn't see you coming, and when I turned back to you, I couldn't find your people. ”。
My body trembled for a moment, remembering that Liu Shenquan had intercepted me and Liu Ye halfway before, and said, "It can't be that some spirit deliberately separated us just now, right?"
The water monkey nodded and said it was very likely.
"Don't worry about it so much, Huluwan has a lot of yin qi and bones, it's normal to encounter unclean things, let's go get that corpse back first." "The water monkey urged me.
I quickly followed him, and only walked about a few dozen meters before we saw the body.
