Lin Zhizhao, who was in the water, trembled, his face was snow-white, and his lips were purple, not because he was frozen, but because of the fear in his heart, and people who did not have this kind of psychological shadow would not understand the fear.

It's like the fear that people who don't know heights don't know that people who are afraid of heights are in the air, it's a sense of fear that is enough to make people lose all their strength, let alone fight, and it's difficult to maintain even basic activities.

"Uncle Shi, let me come up..."

Lin Zhizhao's voice was broken, it was already his luck to be able to lie on the side of the boat, he used all his strength, he only felt that his whole body was surrounded by fear at the moment, and only the boat was the brightest place.

"Yes, but you've thought about it, if you come up, then this time I'll judge you as a failure."

"Why, Uncle Shi, why..."

"I know what you want to say, you were flooded when you were a child, and you almost died, so you have a psychological shadow, why can't I understand you, why do you force you, right?

Do you want to say this, yes, I can understand you, but can your enemies understand you, Lin Zhizhao, you must know that the rivers and lakes are not child's play, and it is not a joke to pin your head to the waistband of your pants, do you know how cunning and vicious your enemies are, you don't understand anything.

Such an obvious Achilles heel, if you can't overcome it, then no matter how strong your cultivation is, you can easily be killed, just a small trick, instead of wasting time cultivating a master to be beaten to death and brushing up on others' achievements, it's better to quit early, how about it, think clearly, do you want to come up?"

Xu Haitao said lightly, he didn't expect Lin Zhizhao to have such an obvious weakness before, but when he knew, he knew that this weakness had to be overcome.

Although he is only a senior uncle, he will also have this thought, he doesn't want Lin Zhizhao to die in vain in the future, so he made this decision to see if he can force him to overcome this psychological obstacle.

Looking around him, whether it is Liu Jinyang, who is at the top of his cultivation, or Li Yifan, who is a little weaker, including himself, in fact, his comprehensive quality is very average, there may be shortcomings, but there will never be fatal shortcomings, otherwise he will suffer when facing some phantom arrays, and he will be killed a long time ago.

"Uncle..."

Lin Zhizhao screamed sadly, like a wounded beast, he couldn't understand Xu Haitao's kindness at this time, he couldn't listen to it, what he felt and understood was that Xu Haitao was deliberately embarrassing him and pushing him into the abyss.

In his thoughts, even if he wants to overcome this psychological barrier, he can take his time, why take this drastic medicine today, everyone knows that this actual battle is important to him, and he can't afford any failure.

"When you think about it, make a decision, whether you want to come up or not"

"No..."

Xu Haitao looked extremely ruthless at this time, even if he knew that Lin Zhizhao was resentful, he was not afraid, although he also wanted to get a good relationship, but being a good man was not the way to get a good relationship.

Lin Zhizhao still has a trace of reason, naturally he will not agree to come up, once he comes up, it is equivalent to admitting defeat, and his master has already said that he will not let him die, let Xu Haitao and them watch, just to save their lives.

"Okay, that's what you said, hehe..."

"Uncle Shi, what do you want to do?"

When Xu Haitao laughed, Lin Zhizhao felt that something was wrong, but he still found out too late, he saw Xu Haitao kick the bait on the fishing rod with one kick.

The sculpture was broken and fell into the water, and the chicken blood inside flowed out, Lin Zhizhao was a little stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't know what was going on.

But he soon knew what was going on, the sculpture was used by him to simulate a living person, used to catch the bait of the water ghost, and now the sculpture was broken, indicating that the camouflage was invalid, and the water ghost knew that this was the bait that fished him, and at this time it was his most painful, the most angry, the most irrational, think about it, what would happen?

"Ahh

In just a dozen seconds, Lin Zhizhao felt that his foot and neck were grabbed by a hand, and his strength was very strong, and he almost pulled him into the water at once.

"Uncle Shi, save me, the water ghost has appeared"

"What to do to save you, fishing for water ghosts, how to do it without being ruthless, reluctant to let the child not be able to trap the wolf, untie the chain, and fight with the water ghost"

"What"

"Untie the chains and fight the water ghosts, or I'll loosen you here, hurry up"

Xu Haitao sneered, pointed to the iron chain on the boat and said, it would be miserable for him to untie Lin Zhizhao here, he had to hang a chain weighing seven or eight catties, which was completely an act of looking for death.

"Uncle Shi, I'll die"

"It's not going to die, hurry up"

Xu Haitao threw down a dagger, and there was a small net, the dagger was a magic weapon he carried, but it was much better than the one in his hand, and as for the small net, it was specially made for this operation.

In Xu Haitao's cold gaze, Lin Zhizhao succumbed, he knew that there was no room for negotiation in this matter, so he could only do it, otherwise it would be a failure.

So he unfastened the buckle, grabbed the dagger and the small net in an instant, took a deep breath, and was immediately dragged into the water by the water ghost.

As soon as he entered the water, countless long heads immediately spread up from his feet and necks, and a miserable white face appeared in front of him, and there was a trace of a smug and strange smile on that face, which was a smile that was about to win and was about to get rid of pain.

However, Lin Zhizhao was also ruthless, and the dagger was desperately wielded, cutting off those long hairs one by one, Xu Haitao's magic weapon was naturally unusual, and those long hairs were no different from tofu in front of the dagger.

This frightened the miserable white face, and soon he also realized that this time the stand-in was not easy to handle, and his long hair was desperately entangled, trying to entangle Lin Zhizhao's body.

Lin Zhizhao knew that he was in the water, and he couldn't hold his breath for long, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he didn't care about it, and directly stabbed the face with a dagger, again and again, and soon, that face showed a painful look, and he turned around and was about to run.

Where could Lin Zhizhao let him run, grabbed his long hair and followed at once, the dagger kept stabbing violently, and the water ghost actually let out a wailing sound.

Lin Zhizhao felt that his breath was about to run out, so he hurriedly used the net in his hand to trap the water ghost, and then floated.

"Uncle Shi, I..."

Lin Zhizhao wanted to tell Xu Haitao that he had succeeded, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the water gurgled into his mouth, almost choking him to death.

Xu Haitao, who was not far away, shook his head, and then the whole person rose from the ground, fell high, jumped to Lin Zhizhao's side, grabbed him with one hand, and then got him to the boat, Lin Zhizhao was still clutching the net in his hand.

"Vomit..."

Lin Zhizhao was desperately spitting water, just now he choked several times and drank a lot of water, the water around here, tsk.

"If you don't die, if you don't die, you will be silent"

"I'm fine, Uncle Shi, I succeeded"

"Successful fart, look at what you got there"

"What..."

Lin Zhizhao looked down and almost fainted, because there was nothing but a few dead fish and stinky shrimp in his net.

"What about the water ghosts, what about the water ghosts..."

"You ask me, how do I know"

"No, I can't fail, I can't fail..."

Lin Zhizhao was going crazy, and immediately prepared to go into the water again, paying such a big price, if he failed, he couldn't accept it anyway.

"Get back, do you want to die"

Xu Haitao caught him, he was forced to go into the water just now, it was already like this, now that the courage has retreated, Lin Zhizhao will really die if he goes into the water again.

"Uncle Shi, I want to go down, I can't fail..."

"I didn't say you lost, in fact you already won"

"Ahh

"Don't lie to you, the water ghost has been seriously injured by you, and he has to come out to absorb the essence of the moon to heal his injuries, but does he dare to come out now, he doesn't dare at all.

Then drag it out, compete with patience, and wait until dawn, in his current state, he can't see tomorrow's moon, unless he can find another stand-in tonight, do you think it's possible?"

"Impossible, people in a radius of dozens of miles tonight know what we are doing, and none of them will appear"

"That's right, I can't wait for a few hours."

"I can wait, but uncle, I'm afraid that the night will be long and I will have too many dreams."

"Then stand up, summon the spirit, and force him to appear"

"Good"

Lin Zhizhao nodded, he spent an hour calming down and recovering his strength, in the tense atmosphere, in the tense nerves, in fact, he didn't know that his psychological barrier had been overcome for the most part, of course, this state is not common, under normal circumstances, tomorrow will return to the way it was before.

But it doesn't matter, it's enough today, this is also one of Xu Haitao's purposes, in fact, after what happened just now, Xu Haitao has already recognized Lin Zhizhao, after all, the three of them were selected by Lin Bai, maybe not so perfect, but it is definitely outstanding, Liu Jinyang's apprenticeship quota is very precious, and he will not send idiots over.

Lin Zhizhao regained a little strength, fiddled with it on a boat, and began to practice soul summoning, soul conjuring is not a very difficult Taoist technique, many rural gods and goddesses will, Lin Zhizhao naturally has also learned, and practiced it once or twice.

"The Soul Returns..."

In Lin Zhizhao's repeated conjuring voices, some whirlpools slowly rose on the surface of the river, and on one of the largest whirlpools, a figure slowly emerged, with angry eyes on his pale face.

Because Xu Haitao is right, he is already seriously injured, unless he comes out to heal, or finds a stand-in immediately, otherwise he will not be able to see the moon tomorrow, which makes him not angry.

"Come here, I have no ill intentions, I just want to overtake you and save you from suffering..."

At this time, Lin Zhizhao completely turned into a magic stick, his voice was loud, his face was resolute, and his expression was full of compassion, and he said slowly to the water ghost.
