Chapter 56: Water Ghost
The direction in which Ma Ji Fei ran was Mingjing Lake, and the lake had been surrounded by a "cordon" with strips of cloth, and the students were all staying away, so there were not many people near the lake.
Ma Jifei went the opposite way, ran to the lake, crossed the cloth without saying a word, and jumped into the lake with a "poof".
"Help!" Ling Gu hurriedly shouted, he remembered that Ma Jifei didn't know water.
As he spoke, Mu Ying had already swept out of the ground like a gust of wind, and floated to the surface of the lake as light as a swallow.
Ma Jifei fell into the lake, not fluttering at all, like a stone smashed into the lake, falling straight to the bottom of the lake. Mu Ying just flicked her fingers to the surface of the lake, and when she looked down from above, she could see Ma Jifei's face that had not been completely covered by the lake. His face was full of horror, his mouth and nose were wide open, and a large number of bubbles came out of his mouth and nose, distorting his face through the lake, making his expression look particularly hideous.
Mu Ying didn't hesitate, she stretched out her hand to pull the horse and fly up, but when she stretched out her hand, she felt a resistance, as if something was competing with her, she pulled up, and the thing dragged down.
Mu Ying frowned slightly, at this moment, she felt the change in the flow of water, she quickly let go of her hand, and a faint light suddenly flashed in the lake, which was the light of the fish scales refracting the sunlight.
Immediately after, a pale human face emerged from behind Ma Jifei's waist. The face was extremely strange, with no eyebrows, eyes like apricots, eyeballs filled the entire socket, the bridge of the nose seemed to have been cut from the nasal bone, and the lips were so thin that only a white line remained. Rumo's long hair drifted away with the current behind the face, which was very weird.
Mu Ying was startled for a moment, but instead of retreating, she pointed five fingers, sharp wooden thorns emerged from her fingertips, and when they encountered the water, the spikes broke and attacked the "water ghost" flexibly and quickly. The "water ghost" was also a clever man, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately threw away his horse and flew as a shield, and with a swing of his lower body - Mu Ying saw that his lower body was actually a long fishtail - and disappeared into the lake.
Mu Ying frowned, scattered the wooden thorns, picked up the horse and threw it ashore.
At this time, Bai Yu had just arrived at the shore with Ling Gu.
Two of Mu Ying's wooden thorns were rooted in Ma Jifei's body, and the rest were on the fishtail of the "water ghost", although Mu Ying was sure that she was pierced by the "water ghost", but because she didn't expect the other party to have a fishtail and covered with scales, I am afraid that the wooden thorns also deviated from the original track and did not hurt the other party much.
Ling Gu squatted down, wanting to give Ma Jifei cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but when he looked down, Ma Jifei's eyes were bulging, his lips were purple, and his face was innocent, obviously dead.
Ling Gu frowned and stood up, staring at Ma Jifei's unusually purple lips and said, "Poisoned? ”
Mu Ying pulled out the wooden thorns on Ma Jifei's body, looked at them twice and threw them into the lake, nodded and said, "It is indeed poisoned, and it is very poisonous, my thorns have withered a little." ”
Ling Gu was a little strange: "With such a heavy poison, does that mean that the other party's methods are not limited to drowning?" ”
If so, it is a little different from the previous idea of revenge for the An brothers.
"No, there was a water ghost in the water who wanted to drown him just now, and I beat him away~" Mu Ying invited credit.
Ling Gu was shocked: "Water ghost? ”
Mu Ying described the "water ghost" she saw just now, and she listened to it very deliciously.
When she finished speaking, Bai Yu said lightly: "It's a wild beast." ”
The mysterious illusion in Ling Gu's head shattered in response, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly returned to seriousness. He said, "Beasts...... Could it really be Anhe? If he also entered that secret realm, entered the Taiyuan from the teleportation array of the secret realm, and then dived into the lake as a wild beast and waited for the opportunity, it was not impossible. ”
Bai Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to Mu Ying and asked, "Is the wood thorn planted?" ”
Mu Ying looked up proudly: "Of course." ”
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Then let Boyan guard the secret realm for Meng Yu, and Meng Yu will take people to guard the Huancheng River." If Qin Qian came back, he would also ask him to help Meng Yu. As for Ma Jifei, let the Ma family at the door call someone to get it. ”
"Yes." Mu Ying took the order and ran away.
"The Ring River?" Ling Gu turned his head and asked Bai Yu: "Is it the big river outside the city gate?" ”
"Well, there are also quite a few ditch rivers in the city, and several of the main ones are called the Ring River." Bai Yu pointed to the Mirror Lake and said, "What you just said reminded me that although this lake is natural, it was not so big at the beginning. The back head was artificially expanded, and the water inlet in and out was left, and the bottom of the lake was also connected to the dark river. To enter and exit the Taiyuan, there is not only a way to teleport the array. ”
Ling Gu suddenly, no wonder no one noticed that the horse was drowning, if it could be accessed from the bottom of the lake, it would indeed be difficult for people to find out.
"If the murderer is caught, will it be handed over to the Ma family?" Ling Gu asked. He hasn't forgotten the cattiness of these families, even if it is really Anhe's revenge, but when the Ma family and the people of the Wan family settle in the Taiyuan, things are no longer simple.
"No, let's ask first. It's a bit weird. Bai Yu said.
"What's weird?" Ling Gu blinked, very curious.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yu smiled and said, "Although Ma Jihao is a bully, his cultivation is very good. So, one, it's not easy to poison him; Second, it is even more difficult to lure him into the lake after being poisoned. Third, Ma Jihao's body showed no signs of struggle. Ma Jihao is a martial cultivator, even if his spiritual power is sealed, his force does not reduce his power, so it is not easy to subdue him with one move. And An He dropped out of school not long after he entered school, plus if he really had the bloodline of a wild beast, then his spiritual cultivation must be very low. So, in the face of such a weak peace and harmony, why didn't Ma Jihao resist? And if An He can really subdue Ma Jihao with one move, why did he poison Ma Jifei, who is much weaker? ”
"What do you mean......" Ling Gu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "If it was really An He's doing, then An He should also have a helper?" ”
"It's still in a courtyard. The area around Lake Myeongjing is full of places where students often move, and the view is relatively broad. If Ann was alone, it would be difficult for him to go ashore without being discovered. Moreover, if he can really do it alone, then why should he wait for five years, five years ago, the cultivation of the Ma family brothers was still very low. ”
Ling Gu understood, and immediately felt foggy. Is it the other three families who helped Anhe?
"Let's go back first." Bai Yu took Ling Gu's hand and walked outside the courtyard.
"Don't wait for the Ma family to come? What about this corpse? Ling Gu turned his head and gestured to Ma Jifei lying by the lake.
Bai Yu said lightly: "Someone has come to clean it up." How's your cultivation going? ”
Ling Gu was immediately changed the topic, and his eyes were shining: "It's fast, and it's smooth." It's a good feeling, but it's going to take some time to get to the next stage. To be honest, is it because of your soul contract that my cultivation has improved so quickly? ”
"Partial." Bai Yu smiled: "The rest is your talent." ”
Ling Gu raised his eyebrows, although he knew that Bai Yu had the ingredient of patting him, but he still felt very happy to hear it. Ling Gu smiled and shook Bai Yu's hand back, and said with a smile: "Let's go back." ”
A smile slipped across the corner of Bai Yu's mouth, he hugged Ling Gu at the waist, and with a light tap of his feet, he flew up to the eaves and went away against the wind.
