The next day, I woke up early, glanced at the seal on my left arm, and walked out of the bedroom without noticing anything unusual.

"Grandpa, it's so early!" I called out with a hippie smile as I gave my grandfather incense in the hall.

Grandpa glanced back at me when he heard the sound and said, "The way to maintain health is to go to bed early and get up early." ”

"Here we go again. "In order to prevent my grandfather's verbosous teachings, I quickly walked out of his sight.

After a long walk around and around, I simply returned to my room with nothing to do, picked up the black book and read it carefully. Just as I was fascinated by it, a crisp voice sounded in my ears, it was Grandpa's voice.

"I can't imagine that the boy who used to be cynical can now seriously devote himself to cultivating Taoism. Grandpa said to me with a smile.

"Grandpa, why is this book always a fragment when it comes to a critical moment?"

There are indeed too many fragments in the book, and the content is not detailed enough, so I always feel that something is wrong, but the exorcism is enough.

"I don't know!"

Grandpa's expression was very cold at the moment, but why was he so cold?

"Don't know?"

"I don't know it, I don't know, it's passed down from my ancestors, and when I got this book as a child, it was already like this. Grandpa replied angrily, and then turned away, probably because he thought that I didn't want to learn the content of the book, and deliberately made excuses.

After Grandpa left, I let out a long sigh. What a bullshit family secretary, in vain I spent months memorizing it, although there are some places that I can't understand, but I can count it as some research on this book.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a rapid woman's roar pulled me back from the book to reality!

"Dog Baby••••••Dog Baby••••••" is the name of the Zhang family's sister-in-law calling Wang Xingyang of the Wang family.

Wang Xingyang, who was in the distance, heard the voice and responded: "What are you doing?"

"Hurry up, your Wang Zhengen, I was flooded in the bath (swimming) in Shuangyan Pond, I wanted to pull it, but I didn't pull it up. ”

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family was very anxious to convey this information to Wang Xingyang.

This shout completely broke the tranquility of the whole small village, and the women who did needlework at home and the men who worked in the geography all rushed straight to Shuangyantang. Of course, I am no exception, I don't want to save people, I just hope that Wang Xingyang's son Wang Zhengen was really drowned in the water! Because I have no parents since I was a child, and the people in the village have bullied me, a poor orphan, I am so narrow-minded, and it is also my character to take revenge, and Wang Zhengen's fall into the water seems to me to be God helping me punish these wicked people.

When I came to Shuangyan Pond, there were already seven or eight people watching the excitement on the shore, and there were also a few men in the water groping for Wang Zhengen's body.

"Have you seen where Xiao En fell into the water?" Li Xiang of the Li family anxiously asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family, who was panting.

"A little bit ahead, just that area. The sister-in-law of the Zhang family pointed to the muddy water surface that had been made by these men, and said breathlessly.

With a plop, Wang Xingyang didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he jumped directly into the water, and began to grope like crazy, after all, he was the son he had raised for many years, and I can understand his feelings.

At this time, the villagers came from all directions one after another, there were old and young, men and women, and the shore of Shuangyan Pond was full of people watching the excitement in a moment. The most conspicuous is Wang Zhengen's mother, she sat on the ground and cried bitterly, and I was excited to see her crying. Because I can't forget that when I was eight years old, she said in public that I was a wild seed with a mother and a mother, and I have always been haunted by this matter, so her painful appearance brought me an unprecedented sense of excitement.

Time passed minute by minute, and Shuangyan Pond was full of young and strong men, who were groping back and forth in the water, and it was estimated that even if Wang Zhengen could be found, it would be just a cold corpse. Some women on the shore also found some props such as tree branches and bamboo poles, and stirred them back and forth in the water.

Looking at all this, I have no reason to continue to watch coldly, and I am ready to go into the water to follow the salvage, I don't want to save people, but I want to show the people in the village, after all, it is a village, and it is always a little unreasonable to stand by and watch.

As soon as I got into the water with my front feet, my grandfather called me to the shore, and he meowed his eyes behind me and motioned for me to go with him.

"The area of Shuangyan Pond is only 500 square meters, as far as I know, the deepest water in this pond is only three meters, so many people have been stirring in the water for several hours without seeing the body, what can it mean?"

When my grandfather told me this, his face was full of mystery, and my intuition told me that he must have seen something!

"Is there something unclean in this water?"

Grandpa nodded silently.

"It doesn't make sense, isn't it normal for children to drown while playing in the water?"

"If, according to Zhang's sister-in-law, Wang Zhengen drowned on the shore, how far could his body float?

Grandpa pointed to his head, suggesting that I need to use my brain more.

was asked by my grandfather, and I couldn't find a more suitable reason to refute it, anyway, in the world of the gods, everything will be associated with ghosts.

"You go back and prepare, I'm right or not, we'll see when it's dark. Grandpa added.

I answered casually and left Shuangyantang and walked in the direction of home. When I got home, I took out a pile of yellow paper that I had cut, sharpened the cinnabar, drew some charms, and packed up some of the magic weapons, and when everything was ready, it was almost dark the day after tomorrow. The cry of a woman came from the path in front of the door, it was Wang Zhengen's mother, who was being helped home with tears in her eyes.

"Are you ready?"

I greeted my grandfather, who had returned home with the salvage team, and he was stomping the mud on his feet vigorously.

"Grandpa, I'm ready, has Wang Zhengen's body been salvaged ashore?"

"No, dozens of people have been salvaged in the fart area for an afternoon, and none of the ghosts have been seen. ”

Grandpa sighed, his forehead wrinkled, and a mysterious look appeared on his face again, it seems that there is really something wrong with this pair of double weir ponds!

I pouted with some regret.

"I don't know how many people have drowned in Shuangyantang over the years, evil, evil!, I didn't take it seriously before, but now it doesn't seem so simple. Grandpa said to himself.

"With your ability, grandpa, it's not a problem to destroy such a small ghost, why wait until today?"

"Every summer, no one has a child who doesn't swim in the river, and it's not uncommon for him to drown, and I only found out today that there is a problem with this double weir pond!"

Between the words, Grandpa's forehead was full of suspicion, although he was stomping the mud and sand on his feet at this moment, it was estimated that all he was thinking about was Wang Zhengen's abnormal cause of death, because Wang Zhengen's body was indeed gone, at least the sister-in-law of the Zhang family had no reason to lie!

"Then you see when we will set out to destroy this little ghost, so that he can harm others again!"

I couldn't wait to rub my palms because I had another chance to show off my ghost-hunting skills.

"It's you, not us, it's harvest, not destruction. Grandpa gave me a blank look and said.

"Why don't you go, grandpa?"

Although I have recently learned a little bit of ghost hunting, I still feel insecure when my grandfather is not by my side, and I am accompanied by two ghosts with deep resentment.

"Don't rely on me for everything, your life will be long in the future, and there are some roads that you must walk on your own. ”

I let out a bored oh and turned around to continue preparing my ghost-hunting props.

When it was completely dark, my grandfather came to my door, handed me a fist-sized ceramic jar, and said, "You put the ghosts of Shuangyantang into this jar, and I don't need to teach you what kind of charm to use to seal it!"

"No!" After answering my grandfather's words, I took the ghost-hunting props I had prepared in advance and walked in the direction of Shuangyan Pond.

When I first arrived at the shore of Shuangyan Pond, a black gas burst out of my left arm, and it was a faceless ghost. He landed in the light of my flashlight, and looked back at me with his cape. He didn't have a face, and in the hazy moonlight light, there was a chilling feeling at a glance.

"I'll go to your uncle, if you want to come out, can you say hello to me in advance, you want to scare Lao Tzu to death in the middle of the night, right? ”

I scolded the faceless ghost for a stink, the faceless ghost really scared me, but I didn't scold him because it scared me, I just wanted to stand up in front of him, after all, I was his master, and if I couldn't beat his master, I could only suppress his majesty in momentum.

"Young master, be careful, this place is not ordinary, there is an atmosphere of fear of people and ghosts. A double tone came to my ears.

"Don't fool me, master, I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that the little ghost in this water won't succeed! Also, don't keep coming out with a face like a big ass, okay?"

As soon as my voice fell, the faceless ghost was divided into two, the male transformed into Zuo Yingqiu, and the female transformed into Xu Siqing.

After the transformation, Xu Siqing was dressed in a white dress, her body was floating in the air, her facial features were delicate, and she was an antique beauty;

"That's right, it's much better looking, listen to me, if you two reappear to see me in the future, it must be like this, don't be a monster who is neither male nor female, and your face is not so ugly, isn't it?" I said to the two ghosts with some sarcasm.

"Little master, don't blame, you and the old master are kind to me and my husband, and I should obey your words. ”

It's really hard to talk to this facial paralysis, I wanted to ease the atmosphere, but I didn't expect him to always make a serious appearance, and always put the word grace on his lips.

I just cared about chatting with Zuo Yingqiu and his wife, and I almost forgot the purpose of my trip. When I looked at the surface of the water again, the moonlight reflected in the pond water fluctuated irregularly, and then a whirlpool kept spinning on the surface of the water.

"Little Lord be careful, this ghost is by no means an ordinary water ghost, and his breath is abnormal. ”

Zuo Yingqiu's face was paralyzed, and at this time, he had completely turned his gaze to the water, showing a vigilant look.

"You're underestimating my schemes. ”

I lit the candle in a hurry, took out a few exorcism charms, lit them, threw them into the pond, pulled out my peachwood sword, picked up a string of charms connected to the rope, and waved them along the shore to cast a spell. The burning fire talisman was like a fire dragon whistling in the wind, and when the last fire talisman was extinguished, I stabbed the peachwood sword directly into the water.

In an instant, the pond of water seemed to be boiling, emitting bubbles and a trace of white smoke, and it was my charm that had taken effect! I took the opportunity to take out four copper coins, and bounced them into the water one by one, and in an instant a golden light covered the entire surface of the water.

In a moment, with a bang, a ghost figure rushed out of the water from the bottom of the water, suspended in midair.

Zuo Yingqiu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was not idle at this time, and turned into black gas and flew to the soles of my feet, and I actually flew in front of the water ghost out of thin air, floating face to face with the water ghost. Xu Siqing also rushed directly to my side with a flash, and she looked vigilantly at the water ghost in front of her, which was still dripping with water droplets on her body.

"You forced me to show up?" the water ghost asked me in a wicked voice.

"It's just a little ghost, since you know that the master is coming, you don't want to be caught. ”

Although I don't have much experience in ghost hunting, but now I have Zuo Yingqiu and Xu Siqing, two powerful ghosts with deep resentment, to help, and I have a lot of confidence, so I naturally don't take this water ghost in my eyes.

The water ghost glanced at me with disdain, and came to preemptively! He pulled out several water jets from the surface of the water and attacked me, and the left shadow at my feet felt that the water ghost would be the first to attack me, and easily avoided it. I couldn't bear the desire to fight, so I flew with a kick and kicked straight towards the water ghost, but this kick had no attack power at all, and it actually penetrated through the body of the water ghost, causing me to kick into the air!

For a time, the water surface of Shuangyan Pond rolled up a shocking wave, and the ghost qi and the water splash crisscrossed and collided with each other, making bursts of explosions.

What kind of ghost couple with deep resentment, it's so hard to catch a water ghost, of course I'm the most useless person!

"Push him to the shore and hand him over to me. I yelled at Zuo Yingqiu and Xu Siqing, who were fighting fiercely.

After I silently recited a few incantations, the peachwood sword inserted in the water flew directly back into my hand, and then I took out the copper coin I carried with me again, just waiting for Zuo Yingqiu and Xu Siqing to force this ghost to the shore.

Soon, the water ghost was defeated by Zuo Yingqiu and his wife and was forced to the shore, I quickly threw the copper coin in my hand at the water ghost, and after the water ghost was hit by the copper coin, it turned into a puddle of water and fell into the water. In less than a second, he was bounced back into the water and turned into a human form, and the spells and copper coins in the water were still exerting residual heat, which was how I used to force him to the surface of the water just now.

Then, I brandished the peachwood sword in my hand and beat the water ghost violently, because my grandfather said that I should subdue the ghost instead of destroying it directly, so I didn't give him a fatal blow.

Every time I hit the water ghost, a soul would fly out of the water ghost's body, and these souls were not the water ghost's, but the unprovoked villagers who had been killed by him for a long time, there were as many as eight souls.

When the water ghost was dying by me, I took out the ceramic jar that my grandfather gave me, and lit a charm at the mouth of the jar, the porcelain jar instantly seemed to have suction, emitting three golden lights, and went straight to Zuo Yingqiu and his wife and the dying water ghost, Zuo Yingqiu and his wife were also sensitive, and cleverly avoided the golden light, but the water ghost was not so lucky, and was instantly sucked into the porcelain jar, and I took out the charm and sealed it directly in the jar.

After being sealed, the water ghost shouted in the jar: "Everyone is a ghost, why do you want to help this stinky Taoist priest, let me out, let me out." After some struggle, the water ghost was silent.

The eight souls that were beaten out by me felt a sense of relief, but they looked at me and Zuo Yingqiu and his wife with trepidation.

"Brother Sword Officer. ”

This voice is Wang Zhengen's, but at this time he is no longer the voice of the immature boy that I can hear on a daily basis. After hearing this knife officer's brother, my heart seemed to be pinched, although I hate the people in the village, but after all, Wang Zhengen is young, and I don't have any grudges, although I am narrow-minded and vindictive, but I will not anger a child about ten years old.

"Zhengen, people can't be resurrected after death, what Brother Daoguan can do for you is not to let you become a substitute for this water ghost, but only to let you be reincarnated as soon as possible. ”

I looked at this teenager who was still carrying a schoolbag and jumping up and down to school a few days ago, and I didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so I could only tell him the truth.

"I know, Brother Daoguan, thank you. ”

After speaking, Wang Zhengen and the other seven souls walked into the dark area hand in hand, and finally disappeared without a trace.

I patted the sealed porcelain jar and scolded: "You little king and eight lambs, you killed eight people." ”

Maybe I was too heavy, and the water ghost was too weak by the peachwood sword, and he didn't give me any response.

Just as I was about to turn around and go home to ask my grandfather for credit, Zuo Yingqiu said with a solemn face: "Young master, there is a special aura in this water, at first I thought it was emitted by the water ghost, but now the water ghost has been sealed, but the breath in the water is still there, which proves that it is not the reason for this water ghost." ”

"And a special aura?"

"Yes, there's a problem in this water. Zuo Yingqiu looked at the calm water with a wary expression, and said to me.

"What's the problem, could it be that there are water ghosts?

Actually, I have some doubts about the true mana of this ghost couple at the moment, and even catching a water ghost has to waste so much effort, whether it is as powerful as grandpa said, I am skeptical.

"Young master, your Taoism is still shallow, and when you cultivate to a certain realm, you can feel the aura of ghosts and monsters. ”

"Oh, okay, good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, come and come, I'm doing it, so as not to keep nagging. ”

I used the rest of the charm to open the altar again, but there was no movement on the water. It didn't seem like there were any more ghosts, and I shrugged my shoulders at Zuo Yingqiu in vain, but just as I looked down to pack up my things and prepare to leave, I suddenly noticed that there was a small golden dot in the water that was constantly shining, and it was still moving slowly.

I had a curious heart when I was a child, and in order to figure out what this golden light was, I quickly undressed, jumped into the water with a thud, and swam towards the golden point of light. Just as I was about to reach the golden point of light, the golden point of light began to scurry around and slowly sink to the bottom of the water. I continued to dive to the bottom of the water, and when I reached the bottom, I found that the golden light was emitting from the scales of a fish! The fish was not afraid of me at all, and slowly swam towards me.

"Boy, your blood is different from ordinary people, and the underworld has already arranged it, I have been waiting for a long time, and this treasure originally belonged to you. ”

A thought came to my brain, was it the message that the fish had sent to me?

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with my blood? Is it a disease? What kind of treasure has been arranged by the prefecture for a long time? What treasure is originally mine? What is the use of your treasure? Is it valuable?" Countless question marks flashed in my mind.

"This thing is the thing that is transformed by the gills of the underworld, you can call it the remnant soul of the gills, you can use this power to subdue demons and subdue demons, and you can also help you obtain three artifacts. But you have to remember that if this power falls into the hands of good people, it can benefit one party, and if it falls into the hands of evil people, it will do infinite harm! You have to promise me that after this thing is returned to you, you must not mention it like anyone, remember that it is anyone, otherwise there will be great trouble. "A thought came to my brain again.

"Then I still don't want it, hey, wait, okay, I promise you, only I know about this, and there will be no second person in the world who knows. "My mood at the moment is a little complicated, but I still can't wait to get this treasure, hoping to exchange it for a good price, after all, how could I, who is from a poor family, let go of such an excellent opportunity to get rich.

With that, the scales of the fish that emitted golden light began to fall off the body of the fish, slowly drifted towards me, and finally completely merged into my body. The moment the scales melted into my body, I was able to breathe freely in the water, and I was really surprised by what I saw.

"Remember, boy, you must not tell others about this thing I give you, otherwise you will be punished by the underworld, remember not to show it at will, this thing can make you go further on the road in the future, but it will also cause a lot of trouble, everything you can do yourself. With that, the fish instantly dimmed and disappeared into the dark deep water.

What, I thought I could exchange it for a good price to relieve my already poor family environment, but it ended up running into my body.

As soon as I returned to the shore, Xu Siqing came to me in a flash, and asked with concern: "I just saw you sink to the bottom of the water for a long time, you haven't surfaced, you have no breath, I have searched back and forth in the water many times and I can't see you, young master, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine. Then he stretched out his left arm, signaling that he and his wife could live in my arm.

Zuo Yingqiu and his wife comprehended and turned into a black shadow and rushed into my arm. I didn't let the water ghosts come back to my body because they helped me catch them, but I wanted to know if the scales of the fish that had been integrated into my body would be noticed by them, because I didn't know if it was true or false that the fish was telling me that it would cause me trouble and punishment, after all, I had the spur of the moment to ask for this treasure, and I was responsible for it.

The Faceling lodged on my left arm, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and I was able to take the water ghost home with peace of mind.

When I got home, I proudly threw the porcelain jar to my grandfather and went to bed. In the middle of the night, I was awakened from my dream by a terrible ghost cry in the hall, it was the voice of the water ghost, it was estimated that my grandfather was overtaking his undead, and I continued to sleep peacefully without thinking about it.

The next day, when I got up, I saw my grandfather walking out of the hall with a tired face, his body was extremely weak. Looking at the scene in front of me, my heart was sour, my grandfather was almost seventy years old, and he was still working so hard to maintain the peace of the party, but I couldn't help anything.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"

"The water ghost has too much resentment, I spent the night over, and my body is a little unbearable, but now it's okay, the water ghost has been sent to hell by me, and he deserves to be punished. "Grandpa responded to me with a weak voice against his weak body.

"Grandpa, grandchildren can also do these things in the future, you can rest assured that I will study hard and inherit your mantle. ”

Actually, I don't know how deep my attainments will be in the future, but at this time I am completely to comfort my grandfather.

"Well, grandpa believes in you. With that, Grandpa turned and walked in the direction of the bedroom.

"By the way, Knife Officer, did you get anything special when you subdued this ghost last night?" Grandpa asked me when he turned to me after walking a few steps.

"No, grandpa, what's wrong?"

I knew that Grandpa was asking about fish scales, but the fish repeatedly explained that he must not let others know, otherwise there would be a big disaster, and for Grandpa's safety, I had to panic.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that yesterday when I was in Shuangyan Pond, I felt a special breath in the water, and I thought it was emitted by this water ghost, and when I overtook the water ghost last night, I didn't feel any special breath of the water ghost, just a little ghost. With that, Grandpa turned and stepped into the door.

Looking at the back of my grandfather leaving, I was filled with emotion, because I knew that all major events would start from the moment I got the remnant soul of the gills.
