"Old Yang, you hold on, let's go!" Qianqiu said to Yang Xian, while hurriedly urging the contract talisman of the blade horse in the depths of the pool.

After a puff of white smoke, the Blade Horse appeared in front of him.

"Knife, it's been a long time! It's too late to catch up, and now it's urgent to find you. Chiaki said anxiously to the knife.

The knife raised his hooves and said that he understood Qianqiu's words.

Qianqiu put Yang Xian on the back of the knife and said, "Let's go! Let's go to Wuxia Town to rest for one night, Lao Yang, I will find you some herbs when the time comes, no matter what, press this spiritual power first." ”

The mountain road is rugged, and the pace of the knife is like the wind, like walking on the ground.

Qianqiu was also rushing with all his might, and he just wanted to rush to Wuxia Town as soon as possible to treat Qianqiu.

This had just crossed two small hills when trouble came.

In front of me was an incomparably wide river, with a turbulent current.

Qianqiu thought to herself that there was no such water flow a few days ago, but how could it be now.

At this time, Yang Xian, who was crawling on the bladed horse, said: "I am afraid that the heavy rain a few days ago washed away the original river and further spread to both sides of the riverbank. ”

If it was in normal times, Qianqiu and Yang Xian would have kicked across the wide river.

However, not only is there a bladed horse, but Yang Xian is also in a state of injury, and it is impossible to cross the river directly.

"Brother Frog, can you do me a favor?" Chiaki said.

Xiu Weichi came with a sentence: "Qianqiu, there is something in the water, hurry up and detour." ”

Before Chiaki could react, she only heard the sound of water waves in her ears getting louder and louder.

"Run!" Chiaki hurriedly pulled his blade and stepped back.

The bladed horse carried Yang Xian, and he didn't run slowly, jumping out of the turbulent river in a few steps.

When Qianqiu looked back again, he found that the river in front of him was much wider.

"There must be a cat in this water!" said Qianqiuxin, "I still listen to the strange frog, let's take a detour." ”

When Qianqiu looked along the river, he didn't see the end, and he looked at Yang Xian, who was lying on the back of the horse and eating the broken fruit by mistake.

"Brother Frog, if you want to take a detour, it's too far, I'd better cross the river directly. "Chiaki sent the sound back.

The strange frog said: "That's okay, but I'm afraid that the thing in the water won't let you pass." ”

"Brother Frog, I look a little weird about what's in the water, but I don't know what it is. Chiaki asked.

The strange frog said: "Water ghost." ”

"What kind of water ghost, is it a spirit animal?" asked Chiaki excitedly.

The monster frog pondered for a moment and replied, "No, it's a monster." ”

When Qianqiu heard this, he was shocked and asked: "Is it the kind of water ghost that after he dies, his resentment is entangled, he doesn't go to the underworld, he turns into a ghost, and he harms the world?"

"Not bad. "There are at least hundreds of water ghosts in this river, and they are just waiting for you to go down the river......"

Thinking that he almost went down the river just now, Qianqiu was also a little afraid at the moment, although he said that he would subdue demons and catch demons, but he was still a little afraid of the monster that this person turned into after he died.

After calming down for a while, Qianqiu looked upstream, and said, "Brother Frog, why are there so many water ghosts who have lingering grievances?"

The strange frog said: "Then it depends on whether you are willing to take care of this matter, after all, I am not a magical spirit beast, and I can't know the affairs of the world." ”

Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, who had a very bad face, and said, "I'm just afraid that Old Yang won't be able to hold on." ”

The strange frog suggested: "It will take a day and a half to go to Wuxia Town here, there are so many water ghosts here, maybe there are many people upstream." There is no cure for the weaning grass, if you want to relieve Yang Xian's pain, you might as well try your luck upstream. ”

Qianqiu felt that there was some truth, so he said: "Old Yang, let's go upstream to see our luck." ”

He casually called out a knife, and was about to go upstream when he heard someone talking in the water.

"Little brother...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Although it is said that it is a blue sky and a white day, it is also frustrating to see people talking in this water but not seeing people, and it is cold in the back.

Yang Xian looked back at Qianqiu and said softly: "Don't pay attention to him, as long as we don't touch the water, the water ghosts can't help us." ”

Qianqiu asked, "Old Yang, how do you know it's a water ghost?"

Yang Xian's lips turned white with pain, and he said: "This river suddenly widens, making waves in the water, and it is not the water ghost who only increases the water potential?"

"It's better to read and know so much. Chiaki sighed as she walked forward.

Someone in the water spoke again: "Little brother, don't go, you can cross the river." ”

Another voice said, "That's right, you cross the river, we promise not to harm you." ”

After a while, a female voice appeared: "Little brother, don't worry, we don't harm good people." ”

Finally, a hoarse voice appeared and said, "Seeing that this little brother is a cultivator who has been cultivating for a long time, we will definitely not deceive you." ”

Yang first motioned for Qianqiu to come closer.

Chiaki nodded, moved away from the river, and walked to the knife's side.

Yang Xian whispered: "Brother Qian, I have a friend in Shengdu who specializes in the study of ghosts, and he once told me that the monsters that this person turned into after death are a little different. For example, this water ghost will lose its original humanity and become extremely treacherous, bent on finding a replacement human body. They don't care if you're a cultivator or not, as long as they can pull you into the water, it's enough. ”

Qianqiu nodded as she listened, and then asked, "Is this youkai only in the water?"

"Yes, although this monster is powerful, it can only be in the water, and it can't come to the shore. Yang Xian said.

A few people in the water looked at Qianqiu indifferent to their words, and they were a little patient at first, but then when they saw that Qianqiu didn't eat oil and salt, they began to change their faces a little.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so timid that he didn't dare to cross the river. ”

"yes, what a coward. ”

"It seems that this disciple of the Eastern Sect is not very good, he is very timid. ”

Chiaki walked some way, and instead of listening to these words, she asked, "How did you die? How did so many people die at once?"

Suddenly there was silence in the water.

After only a few moments, the water in the river seemed to boil, and bubbled continuously.

Chiaki hurriedly stepped aside, for fear that the water would splash on her.

Yang Xian smiled and said, "Brother Qian, you have angered them. ”

Qianqiu looked at the river with a puzzled expression, and said with a wry smile: "I was wronged, I just asked why they were killed." ”

Yang Xian explained: "I told you earlier, these water ghosts are unyielding, and the cause of their death should be drowning. ”

Only then did Qianqiu come to his senses and said, "I'm also confused, the water ghost didn't drown, otherwise how could he turn into a water ghost." ”

Qianqiu glanced at the river again and said, "Don't get excited, I'll go to the place where you live to find out why." ”

The sound of water in my ears was a little quieter.

Chiaki continued to move forward.

At this time, someone in the water spoke again.

"Boy, don't look for death! if you want to die, you might as well come down and be a stand-in for us!"

"It's not like no one helped us out, it's just that one by one dies!"

"I don't know which sin caused it. ”

"Boy, what about you! We told you to stop! Come down to the river with the boy on the stinky horse. ”

The sound of the water came and went.

Qianqiu said without turning his head: "Even if I can't help you, I have to find a village first, my brother is in urgent need of medicinal herbs to heal." ”

The water ghosts continued to pick up the stubble.

"Boy, you have to die sooner or later, you might as well come down and help us get free. ”

"I don't know where our village is for a long time, where do you go to find it?"

"This kid probably only brags, and he won't live long like the sick boy on horseback. ”

Chiaki was a little angry when she heard this, and said, "You are the sick boys, you are all damned ghosts!"

As soon as these words came out, these water ghosts in the water stopped doing it, and began to make waves again, speaking ill of Qianqiu.

"You say I can, but you can't say my brother. Chiaki scolded angrily.

Yishui Ghost said happily: "Boy, don't be hypocritical, this is what you humans are best at." ”

Chiaki smiled, "Speak as if you weren't human before." ”

"I used to be a human, but now I'm a ghost. The water ghost argued.

At this moment, Chiaki saw a small village not far away.

Qianqiu smiled happily and said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, there is a village in front, I will go to find some herbs and press the aura of the cut grass for you." ”

"Thank you Brother Qian, I'm much better. Yang first looked up and thanked him.

Qianqiu couldn't help glaring at Yang Xian, and scolded with a smile: "Old Yang, if it weren't for the fact that you were sick, I would definitely teach you a good lesson." I said it earlier, you and my brother, what's the use of thanking you?"

Yang Xian nodded and said no more.

After taking a few steps forward, Qianqiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Old Yang, have you noticed that the water ghost is gone." ”

Yang Xian propped himself up and said, "Since we saw that village, the water ghosts seem to be gone. ”

"Could it be that their deaths have something to do with that village?" Chiaki guessed.

Yang Xian said: "Although they say that they want you to go into the water as a stand-in, why do they mention that you went to the village to seek death? ”

"Hmm. Chiaki said yes and walked forward.

The two of them stood at the entrance of the village.

I saw that the village in front of me was dilapidated, with piles of weeds placed haphazardly, and a village did not even have a decent village card. Looking towards the village from the door, you can see that there are a lot of filthy things in front of many people's doors. 、

Chiaki covered her mouth and nose and looked around, and found that there was no water source around the village, and the source of the river was on another mountain.

Qianqiu said to Yang Xian: "I can't imagine that this person's outstanding Dongfang Mountain has such a place that is so dilapidated. ”

Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, why don't we go in, I can still stand up, go around Wuxia Town." ”

Qianqiu asked, "Old Yang, let me ask you, when have you ever seen so many water ghosts in the water?"

Yang Xian replied: "I really haven't seen this. Generally speaking, water ghosts resentful of entering the river, they are all murdered and killed, I can understand one or two, but it is the first time I have seen so many. ”

Chiaki said, "That's right. So many people were killed at the same time, and these water ghosts seemed to be very scared and disdainful to mention the reason for the murder, don't you have to worry about this? But these are not really important, the most important thing at this moment is to get you some herbs first. ”

Yang Xian thought for a while and said, "Well, it's hard work, a thousand brothers. ”

Chiaki waved her hand and walked inside.

Bypassing some filth, Chiaki walked into this small village.

Compared to the dilapidated outside, the inside of the village is obviously much better, and the houses and the like look relatively new, but there are a lot of blood stains on the ground.
