The ancients said that "July is a fire", and a humid and sultry city like Q City is already on fire in June. The June sun is really like dipped in chili water, and there is no shady place on the open road.

In the exam room, I stayed in the exam room for a few days, and my two eggs were almost baked, and I didn't want to do anything, so I missed the clear springs and reservoirs in the mountains of Jiuxian Village.

On the day I came back, the old man was not in the Taoist temple, I dropped my bag and ran directly to Ergou's house, Liu Ergou and several of them did not go to school after finishing junior high school, and a few of them still stayed in the village to farm. Call him and a few other good friends, and then go straight to the reservoir.

Before I even got to the reservoir, I had already stripped myself of myself. Before coming to the embankment, I plunged into the water, and there was nothing else in the countryside except that the water was very clear and cool, and swimming in summer was the most comfortable thing. Those who fish in small water and catch bullfrogs in the ravine have also practiced good water skills.

Young people want to compare everything to a high or low, including swimming, diving, speed, and so on. This time was no exception, so I shouted: "How about the second dog come to the competition, see who swims to the opposite side of the reservoir first, and the loser goes to Uncle Wang's house at night to steal a chicken and come out to make a flower chicken." ”

Before Ergou could reply, Liu Dazhuang next to him shouted: "Count me in, damn it, you haven't been in the village since you went to school, you haven't eaten for a long time, you are greedy when you think about it." ”

We started to go into the water from the embankment, after all, Ergou and I had practiced martial arts, and our strength was relatively good, and we quickly threw Da Zhuang ten meters away, and suddenly heard another person shout: "Da Zhuang, what's wrong with you:"

I hurried back to look. I saw Da Zhuang's hands waving constantly, as if he was struggling, choking on several mouthfuls of water. Ergou and I hurriedly swam back, and when we arrived at the position of Da Zhuang just now, his body had sunk, and I took a suck and dived down.

After diving down, I saw that the big strong foot was grabbed by a pale one, and looked down, if it wasn't for the water, I would have burst into a foul mouth, only to see the dark bottom, a swollen blister appeared in front of my eyes, and two godless and empty eyes stared at me.

I didn't know that I had met a water ghost, I had heard from the people in the village before, someone was dragged down by the water ghost and drowned, but we haven't met it many times, and I thought it was just a rumor.

For a while, I was also stunned, I didn't know what to do, at this time the second dog also dived down, of course, he also saw the water ghost, he was a temper tantrum and didn't think much about it, a punch smashed into the water ghost's face, I also came back to my senses, after learning Taoism for so many years, I was almost scared by a small water ghost.

Coming back to my senses, I thought about what I had learned from the old man before. I didn't care about it much, my fingers pinched the sword, and on the fingers of the aura condensed, I silently recited the ghost killing spell in my heart, "Taishang Laojun taught me to kill ghosts, and I am a god." Calling the jade girl, the collection is ominous....... Hurry as a law" After reading the sword finger, he poked at the center of the water ghost's eyebrows, and then there was a miserable scream, and a burst of smoked water bubbles appeared, and the water ghost sank and disappeared.

We hurriedly pulled Da Zhuang upstream to the embankment, and when we arrived at the shore, Da Zhuang was also frightened, and I asked, "What happened just now, why did you hit that thing, obviously we passed in front of you"

"I don't know, just swim and suddenly my feet were pulled by something, desperately dragging me into the water, I can't break free if I want to" Da Zhuang said with a pale face.

We weren't in the mood to swim anymore, and they didn't dare to go into the water, so they hurried back to the village. I just returned to the Taoist temple, and the old man happened to be there, so I told him in detail about the matter, but it didn't work out, and he complained about it.

"Why did you directly use the ghost killing spell, you must know that you are also a second-grade layman's cultivation now, and when dealing with a small water ghost, you can use your own aura to surrender it casually, and you can't kill him directly. After surrendering, the good life can also accumulate yin virtue, and we cultivators can not kill as much as possible when we encounter cultivators, do you know? The old man said to me solemnly.

"This TMD is the first time I have encountered a ghost, and I still have to kill people to find a stand-in, not to mention my friend, how can I think so much, I killed a hundred in a hurry, and you haven't told me before, besides, if I don't do it, it's hard to watch Da Zhuang be killed." I looked at the old man with disdain and said.

"Just remember it later," said the old man.

After that, I went to draw an amulet and sent it to Da Zhuang, after all, he was more or less contaminated and frightened by that thing.

Time passed day by day, and I was unsurprisingly admitted to the metaphysics major of Fuzhou University, and now I am only waiting for the admission letter.

There is nothing to do during this time, so I help people choose auspicious days when they have nothing to do, and occasionally go to the ravine to touch a bullfrog to make a tooth sacrifice.

More than a month passed like this, until one day the old man called me and said, "Boy, you have been with me for many years, and you are eighteen this year, and you were not allowed to go home for some reasons, and you know that it is time to go back to see the old father and mother at home." ”

"Old man, won't you go back with me, it's not a problem for you to stay here alone, it's better to go back with me, you have someone to take care of me when I go to school," I said.

"No need, I'm used to living here, I don't want to toss, you go back and have a look first, school is going to start in a while, you stay at home for a while and accompany your parents." The old man said nonchalantly.

"What are you used to, it's reluctant to live with that widow, it's been peeping for several years," I thought in my heart.

In fact, the old man is really good to me, and he always leaves me with any delicious food, and I also regard him as my dearest.

The next day, I simply packed up my schoolbag and prepared to go home, and when I left, the old man gave me a bank card and said that I should go home and buy something for my family, and then go and buy a few sets of clothes. Because I have followed the old man in the past few years, in addition to wearing school uniforms, it is a Taoist robe, and I can't run around the street in a Taoist robe when I go out. I don't know how much money is in the card, anyway, no matter what he is, the old man hasn't made any money over the years, and the people in the village came to ask him to help and also wanted to collect some living expenses, and all the things on the day were all exempted, and it was estimated that there were a few hundred dollars in it, which was a lot, so I didn't think much about it.

Before leaving, I said to the old man, "I will come back to see you before I go to school." ”

The old man just said whatever you want, and then went into the house.

It was not far from the Taoist temple to go home, it was only a hundred kilometers away, and I bought a bus ticket to the town and sat and waited for the bus to leave. I haven't been home for so many years, and I don't know what is going on at home.
