Chapter 375: Cruise

The scenery of the Li River is known as the "four victories" of mountain green, water show, cave and stone beauty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This section of Yangshuo County is the essence of the Li River, there is no lack of "deep pools, dangerous shoals, flowing springs, waterfalls" of the good scene, is the karst terrain development typical, rich and concentrated area, if you raft on it, there will be "the boat on the blue waves, people in the middle of the painting" feeling.

Xu Zhuo came to this section of the river, although the scenery is magnificent, but it is relatively remote, and in the past six months, there are frequent rumors of water ghosts, so there are few tourists, which can be said to have greatly affected the tourism of the Li River.

Of course, this book has little to do with the Lijiang Sword School, but the head of the Lijiang Sword School was born in the Lijiang River, which is her hometown, and the old man is plain and old-fashioned, so he issued a task to his subordinates, which is also regarded as one of the experiences. She believes that Xu Zhuo has the ability to complete this task. Because, she is also a master, and she can see the kind of powerful qi that Xu Zhuo invisibly exudes.

Xu Zhuo is not weaker than her, and he came to learn from the teacher, probably for the legendary swordsmanship! And the swordsmanship is almost a fairy method, and it is not allowed to be taught by those who have both ability and political integrity, so after discussion, the high-level of the Lijiang Sword Sect decided to test Xu Zhuo ten times and increase the difficulty. As long as Xu Zhuo can complete it, he can teach him the art of swordsmanship at any time.

In the subsequent call with Song Ya, the high-level leaders of the Lijiang Sword Sect also confirmed this.

Xu Zhuo came to the remote section of the Li River, and after getting out of the car, he sent the taxi driver back, and then summoned the Yan' ghost peony and the little ghost boy Yuanyuan. Because the "water ghost" may also be a real ghost, although Xu Zhuo is not afraid of ghosts, but he is not sure that he can kill the ghosts in the water, in case he escapes to the bottom of the river and hides, it will be inconvenient. Therefore, if you release two powerful ghosts as helpers, you will be foolproof.

"Water ghost" in folklore, commonly known as "water monkey", refers to the person who committed suicide or died accidentally by throwing himself into the water, will wander in the place of drowning, become a water ghost, and then wait patiently in the water, lure, or force people to fall into the water and die, to act as their own substitute ghost, for thousands of years, the water ghost carefree reincarnation by this method, get rid of the suffering from hell.

In addition to the country, in fact, there are many foreign countries have legends about "water ghosts", such as in Scotland there is a kind of "water ghost", the locals call it "Kelpie", this legendary "water ghost", the whole body is as black as ink, half horse and half cow shape, with two sharp horns on the head. It often transforms into a beautiful white horse, and once someone rides it, it will run wild until it throws a person into the water and drowns him, and then feasts on the flesh and blood of his victim. Sometimes this water ghost will also take on the form of a handsome little man, and unwitting young women will be easily tempted to pursue it, and end up in a self-dug water grave, but if you look closely, you will find that this "handsome little man" has always wet hair with algae in between.

In Japan, there is a similar legend called "kappa".

Nowadays, science is advanced, and some people believe that water ghosts are some kind of animal in the water, such as otters, and some people say that there are real water monkeys. This kind of water monkey has infinite strength in the water, and on the shore it is weak in all fours, and likes to lead people into the water with its cry, taking the opportunity to catch the water, suck blood, eat eyeballs, nails, etc., which is quite amazing.

Of course, there are many similar news topics, but most of them are rumors, for example, a few years ago, there was a news that "a certain river found a water ghost", which became a hot topic on Weibo and WeChat Moments for a while, and many netizens were taken aback by the "water ghost" photo. In this regard, an official Weibo of a public security once published a popular science post saying that the so-called "water ghost" is just a Malay bear that unfortunately "lost its hair", and the location of this photo is not in China, but in Malaysia.

"You two, act separately, one upstream, one downstream, if you find anything, you must notify me in time before you fight!" After Xu Zhuo summoned the two powerful ghosts, he stretched out his hand and commanded. The reason why I want to let the other party inform is that I am afraid that the water ghost is too powerful, and the two-headed ghost is not an opponent when it comes alone, and it is not good if there is a loss.

However, no matter how powerful the "water ghost" is, whether it is a drowning lonely soul and a wild ghost, or a rare beast in the water, Xu Zhuo feels that he should always be able to take it down if he is besieged by one person and two powerful ghosts.

"Okay, master. The two powerful ghosts plunged into the water respectively, and the little ghost Tong Yuanyuan held a bronze steel fork in his hand, and disappeared into the rolling river without saying a word. But after the Yan's ghost peony dived, she suddenly jumped out of the water, and came to ********** only to see her green silk like a waterfall, her delicate face was wet with water, and it was even more white and tender, and the skirt that was as thin as a cicada's wings became translucent because it was wet, sticking to the body, showing the front 'convex' and the back' warped, outlining the fiery figure to the fullest.

"What are you going to do?" asked Xu Zhuo angrily. Because, although the ghost peony is delicate, but it is a ghost, her clothes are all conjured with ghost power, where will it be wet by this kind of mortal water? Obviously, the other party is deliberate, he wants to do something, he wants to seduce himself!

This peony, how many times have I said it, I'm not interested in female ghosts, but she doesn't listen. Xu Zhuo was a little "bored".

"Master, you're too hypocritical, aren't you?

"Okay, okay, you're beautiful, you can go!" Xu Zhuo shouted with a straight face, but he felt two waves of anger surging into his nose, and said in his heart, if you don't leave, if you continue to tease me, it won't be good if I lose face and have a nosebleed.

"Hehe, that slave family can go!Try to do things that can make the master happy!" Yan's ghost peony is a veteran of reading all men, and naturally knows that Xu Zhuo has been teased at this moment, compared to before, Peony is already very satisfied. She didn't want to go overboard, because if Xu Zhuo became angry and punished her, it would be very uneconomical. She thinks that things have to come little by little, and now it is very good to be able to stir up a little ambiguous atmosphere and make the owner feel a little bit excited. Hmph, this tsundere master, the slave family will take you down sooner or later!

The glamorous ghost peony is like a mermaid in the water, showing its proud posture to the fullest, and then it hides its body and submerges into the deep water.

Xu Zhuo, on the other hand, did not go into the water, he was walking along the shore, using his eyes, trying his best to see the world under the water.

It's a pity that although he has clairvoyance, clairvoyance and other magical powers, the distance of clairvoyance is limited. When penetrating solid matter, it can now reach twenty or thirty meters underground, and the water body can be deeper, like the Li River, where the water quality is clear, Xu Zhuo can see through the place where the water is more than 100 meters underwater, but unfortunately, this Li River is extremely deep, and this section of the river where Xu Zhuo is located, it is estimated that the deepest place is 150 or 60 meters.

In other words, with Xu Zhuo's Wanhua Heavenly Eye alone, he can't have a full view of the situation in the water on the shore, unless he dives underwater. However, if he is in the water, his combat power is greatly reduced, and he may not be able to take down the water ghost alone. Only when Yan's ghost peony or the little ghost boy Yuanyuan finds the whereabouts of the water ghost, and then the two ghosts act together with one person, can they be completely sure.

The riverbed along the Li River is almost all pebbles, there is no sediment, the water quality is quite clear, Xu Zhuo took off his shoes, walked barefoot by the river, enjoyed the scenery along the way, and was in a good mood. However, he did not let his guard down and knew the task of his trip.

"Huh, there's a cruise ship coming?" Xu Zhuo looked back and saw a cruise ship appear at the corner of the upstream mountain, and there was a guide wearing a red hat on the deck, holding a small flag to explain to the tourists.

Xu Zhuo waited for the ship to get closer, and then shouted loudly: "Go back quickly! There are water ghosts in this section of water, which is quite dangerous!"

As soon as these words came out, the people on the cruise ship didn't react at first, knowing that Xu Zhuo shouted twice in a row, and those people understood, and then it caused a burst of laughter.

At this time, the cruise ship also drove closer, and it is estimated that the cruise master saw that it was rare to meet such a "funny" person, so he deliberately drove the boat over to let everyone have fun.

"Brother, you're really funny, what age is this, and you're still a water ghost? Are you a native here?" shouted a man in his thirties wearing a peaked cap on the boat. Again, everyone burst into laughter.

Especially on the boat, there are many beautiful women, and a few children, those beauties are smiling and leaning forwards and backwards, while several children clapped their hands again and again, and excited: "That uncle is so funny, he actually lied to us that there are water ghosts." ”

"Hehe, I've heard my mother say that water ghosts specialize in pulling people into the water as substitutes for dead ghosts, but that's feudal superstition! It's very likely to be an aquatic animal like an otter!"

"If the water ghost really wants to pull someone into the water, then someone has to swim in the water or wash clothes by the river, we are all on a high boat now, I don't know how much safety it is!"

"Yes, the big uncle is in danger, he walks barefoot by the river, maybe the water ghost will come and grab his foot. ”

"You are stupid, the water by the river is so shallow, so clear, the real water ghost is coming, won't you jump ashore immediately?"

"You're stupid, if there are ghosts, then ghosts have no shadows, how can you see them?"

The words of a few children made the adults around laugh again, and they all asked Xu Zhuo about it, it is estimated that the tourists are from other places, and they want to find the locals to understand the customs.

It's a pity that Xu Zhuo's Mandarin is too standard to be standard, and he is a man, so the result naturally disappointed them.

"Let's go, let's go, continue down the river, and set off!"

"Hey, listen to me, let's go back, there are really water ghosts here!" The information sent by the Lijiang Sword could not be fake, Xu Zhuo persuaded again.

Someone on the boat smiled and said: "Little brother, thank you for your kindness, we are not afraid of water ghosts, if there are really water ghosts, I can't wait!"

"Me too, my DSLR camera has been hungry for a long time!" "Someone is ready to take a snapshot at any time, if you can take a clear picture of the water ghost and post it on the Internet, it will definitely cause a sensation, maybe even make headlines!

"Alas~, you people, why don't you listen to persuasion?" Xu Zhuo shook his head and sighed, but the people had already gone away.

The sun is shining, the river is sparkling, the scenery on both sides of the Li River is picturesque, the mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, the air is fresh, Xu Zhuo said in his heart, perhaps, he is too worried, even if there are water ghosts, they may not just come out, besides, the other party has a boat.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw a black shadow haunting the river, and it disappeared in a flash.
