Chapter 19: Water Ghosts
Duan Mo was bound by several tentacles similar to octopus claws, he struggled desperately, but in vain, one by one the young women and children with floating hair walked slowly towards him, their faces were pale, their faces were hideous, like underwater ghosts, what frightened Duan Mo the most was the black shadows around him, what the hell were those ghosts?
Although the Spirit Core Realm can hold its breath underwater for more than ten minutes, it also has time, and it is impossible to stay underwater all the time, even if it is a spiritual power, it cannot stay underwater for more than a day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially with these dead people who had obviously drowned but were still powerful, Duan Mo was even more anxious, desperately trying to find a chance to escape.
"Ahh
Duan Mo roared angrily, the spiritual power in the spirit core rushed out of the body, and exploded violently, the water in the cylinder around the small dozens of centimeters was exploded, and a small waterless area appeared, and those tentacles were also blown off, Duan Mo was able to breathe, and the soles of his feet stomped on the wet ground and rose to the sky, just about to rush out of the water, one palm grabbed his ankle, and Duan Mo suddenly changed color.
It's that young man again!
An unimaginable force came, Duan Mo was dragged down, the glowing water surface was clearly visible, but at this moment, it was getting farther and farther away, a sense of powerlessness and despair spread from Duan Mo's heart, he was already a little short of breath and urgently needed oxygen.
Suddenly, an extremely cold feeling came from his back, as if it was some kind of 10,000-year-old Xuan Bing, Duan Mo turned his head with difficulty, his pupils dilated suddenly, and a terrifying face with blue fangs appeared behind him, sharp fingers grabbed his shoulder, the fangs grew, and bit down on his throat.
Kelpie!
"Get out!"
Duan Mo's hands danced rapidly in the water, his spiritual power was surging, and his wild palm was exerted, and he palmed it towards the face behind him.
"Peng ......"
A column of water rose into the sky, as if a bomb had exploded in the water, and the water ghost roared miserably, and the green blood mixed in the water, and quickly retreated.
"Wow!"
The angry screams of the water ghosts spread underwater, like sound waves, and those people walking under the water floated up one by one, rushing towards Duan Mo, a thick tentacle rushed out from the ground, and quickly wrapped around Duan Mo's neck, slowly exerting force, Duan Mo's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Damn, old beggar, if you don't make a move, I'll confess here!"
Duan Mo only felt that his eyes were black, and he couldn't help but roar in his heart, the old beggar seemed to hear the roar in his heart, and the flat voice echoed in Duan Mo's ears: "Buddha beads." ”
"Buddha beads?"
Duan Mo's mind was blank, where to find the Buddha beads at this time? Those people had already pounced, grabbing Duan Mo's body one by one, pulling, the strength was still great, Duan Mo could even hear the crunching of his bones.
Suddenly, a back flashed through his mind.
Folded his palms and turned around the monk's robe, dissipating his anger.
The storage bracelet flashed slightly, and several broken Buddha beads appeared in the water, slowly sinking, and those people quickly pushed them away as if they had touched something terrible, frightened.
"Wow! Phew! ”
The water ghosts and the black shadows shuttling around quickly retreated, the sound of fear spread through the water, and the tentacles quickly retracted as if they were electrocuted, hiding under the water.
Duan Mo's body fell without restraint, he tried his last breath, grabbed those sinking Buddha beads, jumped out of the water, stumbled to the shore, and finally threw himself on the grass on the shore, breathing in the air, with fear still in his eyes.
"Young Master!"
Chunhua Chuncao hurriedly ran over to help Duan Mo, the latter gasped and looked at the old beggar, who poured a sip of bad wine, looked at Qinghuangjiang, and didn't pay attention to Duan Mo's meaning.
"Awesome, old man, it's the first time I've seen someone pulled into the water by a water ghost and come up alive."
The thin black old man walked over and looked at the Buddha beads that Duan Mo was holding tightly in his hand, and there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.
Duan Mo's face was slightly gloomy, he stood up, if it was according to his previous temper, I am afraid that today he would have to cut off this Qinghuang River, let people drain this broken river, and then stone these water ghosts alive with gold coins!
"Let's go!"
Duan Mo walked into the small shed and changed into a dry brand new black shirt, his face turned black, and walked towards the bridge ten miles away, the black and thin old man hesitated for a moment, and suddenly stopped Duan Mo.
"Boy, since you have the ability to get out of the water safely, why don't you help the people around the Qinghuang River and destroy these water ghosts."
The thin black old man sighed as he leaned on his hoe.
Duan Mo pointed at the Qinghuang River and said, "There are dozens of corpses down here, as well as countless tentacles and wandering water ghosts, I am already lucky that I can come up, and destroy them?" ”
The old man's eyes were a little gloomy, and he staggered towards the shed.
Duan Mo didn't say anything, he walked forward with the spring flowers and spring grass, and the next moment, he stopped and looked at the old beggar who was still parked in place, who was still looking at Qinghuang Jiang in a daze.
"Old beggar?"
Duan Mo shouted, the latter turned his head, looked at Duan Mo, and said softly after a moment: "You go down again." ”
"What? Still down? ”
Duan Mo's eyes widened suddenly.
The old beggar nodded slightly, stared at Qinghuangjiang, and said slowly: "There are strange things down there, very strange, maybe there will be strange treasures." ”
He ignored Duan Mo's reaction, looked at the black thin old man, and asked, "You should have gone into the water, I noticed the breath of a water ghost on you." ”
The black and thin old man suddenly changed color, he looked at the old beggar in shock, and only after a moment did he restrain his emotions and said, "Indeed, I have been in the water and tried to save people. ”
"Black dog, living alone, small shed, you are what the secular people call a water ghost man."
The old beggar nodded and said.
Water ghosts are water ghosts, and water ghost people are water ghost people, the former are ghosts, and the latter are people.
"What is a water ghost man?"
Duan Mo frowned, and Chuncao on the side said uncertainly: "I seem to have seen this kind of person in a book of strange stories, they are corpse fishers by the river, whenever someone drowns, they go into the water to carry and fish up corpses, and ordinary people also call them water ghost people." ”
The thin black man sighed and nodded.
"There must be a reason for everything, there will be so many water ghosts here, you should know the reason."
The old beggar poured a sip of bad wine.
Hearing this, the black and thin old man's eyes were a little evasive, he swallowed and vomited for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, I have no wife and no children in my life, and I am not afraid of any revenge." ”
The thin black old man picked up the cigarette stick and took a hard puff, coughed a few times before saying: "It all started a month ago, in the middle of the night, a group of rich servants who looked like they were from a big family came here and woke me up, and then threw me a cloth bag and told me to tie this cloth bag to a stone and dive into the middle of the river to bury it in the underwater soil. ”
The black thin old man paused, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "I didn't care at first, after all, over the years, people have often asked me to throw the corpse, I scooped up the corpse, and also buried the corpse in water, and waited until Jiang Center threw the cloth bag down, and then dived down to dig a pit, and when the cloth bag was almost half buried, I found that the cloth bag actually moved!" ”
"When this happened in the middle of the night, I was so frightened that I fled in a hurry, and it was only when I returned to the boat in horror that I realized that the person in the bag was probably still alive!"
The old man's face was full of remorse, and he said: "I hurriedly jumped down again but it was too late, the bag was already silent, I cut the bag, and inside was a young thin girl, naked, with scars all over her body, some iron, some knives, and all kinds of tooth marks, I saw a palpitation, what kind of beast would be so poisonous to such a delicate little girl." ”
A ripple rippled on the calm surface of the river, spreading with the wind.
The thin black old man continued: "I regretted the abnormality at the time, just wanted to carry the little girl ashore, a water ghost suddenly appeared and choked my neck, fortunately I stayed by the river all the year round, the water is very good, plus Wangcai is also on the boat, I noticed the abnormality and jumped into the water to scare away the water ghost I did not die, but the body of the dead little girl was taken away by the water ghost. ”
"Since that day, there have been accidents in this area of the Qinghuang River, and many people have seen a large number of water ghosts, and until now, no one dares to go into the water."
After listening, the old beggar nodded slightly, and said slowly: "That little girl was bullied, and was drowned alive, and her resentment is very heavy, once this kind of person turns into a water ghost, it must be the most evil among the water ghosts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the water ghost king, so many water ghosts will be gathered here to explain the past, and if you want to give birth to such a water ghost king, it also needs a great opportunity, I am afraid that there is really some treasure underwater." ”
Duan Mo blinked, and when he saw the old beggar's gaze, he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "No matter how good the treasure is, you have to have a life to enjoy, let me go into the water and fight those things again, and I won't do it." ”
Just kidding, those water ghosts are enough for Duan Mo to drink a pot, and another water ghost king will be weird if he doesn't throw his life there.
The old beggar retracted his gaze, walked forward, and said lightly: "Since you have no intention, then let's go." ”
Looking at the old beggar who was getting farther and farther away, Duan Mo shrugged his shoulders and raised his heels, Chunhua Chuncao hurriedly followed behind him, and the group walked forward, leaving the black and thin old man leaning on the pole of the small shed and sighing.
Suddenly, the old beggar in front of him turned around sharply and shouted, "Be careful! ”
There was no wind on the Qinghuang River, but there were big waves, and many people came out of the water's edge and pounced on Duan Mo and the three of them, and at the same time, several huge tentacles broke out of the water and smashed into Duan Mo and the others.
"Damn it!"
Duan Mo's face changed wildly, he scolded angrily, kicked away the person in front of him, and the old beggar made a sword with two fingers and waved it at those huge tentacles, the tentacles broke apart, and the blood stained the river red.
"Spring flowers!"
Duan Mo grabbed the spring grass beside him and stayed away from those people, but the spring flower was grabbed by the ankles of several people and thrown into the river, the panic screams echoed, Duan Mo's face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at, and those tentacles and people quickly retracted into the river after they succeeded.
The sudden attack caught Duan Mo off guard, he watched the spring flowers fall into the river and splash a splash, he had suffered a loss below, knowing the danger there, with his strength was still so embarrassed, the spring flowers fell into the water, it must be more than lucky.
This group of turtle grandsons, I don't come to trouble you, but you think Lao Tzu is easy to bully?
A touch of scarlet climbed up Duan Mo's pitch-black pupils, and those calm eyes that were as calm as ancient springs ignited a monstrous anger at this moment, he turned over his hand and took out the Qingfeng Sword in the storage bracelet, clenched the Buddha beads in his hand, and jumped directly into the Qinghuang River, the water splashed, and the roar of rage went straight to the sky.
"She's going to have an accident, Lao Tzu filled in this Qinghuang River today!"
