Chapter 156: The Water Ghost Emerges
Chen Chu took out a pair of sneakers and gave them to Hou Junji, Hou Junji had already noticed the shoes worn by the two princesses, Chen Chu and Su Dingfang, and he did not hesitate at this time to feel the extraordinary features of these shoes.
When he put it on, Hou Junji breathed a sigh of relief, this is much lighter than boots, it is simply an all-round hanging boot!
So light, so warm and tight, he walked like he was stepping on cotton, and he felt like he could fly when he ran, it was so refreshing.
If you can further get along with Lord Chen, and then get an official membership card, haha, Hou Junji laughed in his heart, and he will always be by his side in such a good life in the future.
"These flashlights are also very important props, and its principle is to consume an energy called electricity, and then convert it into light, which has a special effect on lighting."
Chen Chu took out a total of twenty flashlights and handed them to Hou Junji, Jiujiang and the others, and asked them to distribute them by themselves.
"What you have to pay attention to is that this thing must not be lost to the people, either destroyed in a bad situation, or brought back in its entirety, it can only be broken, not less."
Chen Chu reminded, and several people nodded their heads in memory.
Hou Junji turned on the light with a click, and he was not calm on the spot, the flashlight was boiling in the court, but he had heard of it a lot, and he had really played and seen it, and he was definitely one of the lucky ones.
After the group was sorted out, they went straight to the Wei River north of Chang'an, the haunted area had been explored in advance, and the people who arrived first handed over to them, and designated a section of the river about ten miles long.
They had already dismounted, set up these conspicuous things, and walked to the river.
"The matter of Weishui has always been handled and handled by the local government, but there has been no result, and the suddenness of our arrival today must not cause the confusion of this person who pretends to be a ghost."
Hou Junji lowered his voice and said, to avoid everyone's worries about startling the snake.
"But this section of the river is too long, what should we do, wait for the rabbit?"
Chen Chu asked, it seems that there is only this way, is it possible to expect water ghosts to come ashore to harass them?
"There's no way around it, but we've got the ship ready, it's a medium-sized merchant ship that we bought."
Su Dingfang said: "And I specially brought some rat traps from the house that are usually ready to catch thieves, and I hope that everyone will not run around when the time comes, I will let people place them all over the ship, but if anyone dares to pretend to be a ghost, he will definitely make him look good!" ”
Chen Chu almost didn't spray, this General Su is too ruthless, I grass, there is a clip on the ship, is there anything more immoral than this?
Seeing that everyone was so capable, Chen Chu was also relieved.
Under the strong opposition of Su Hou and the others, the two women in Jiujiang did not get on the boat in the end, which is also for their safety, and secondly, there is another reason, if there is really an accident and falls into the water at that time, Chen Chu and they can save it, how can the two princesses rescue it, men and women are not kissed.
The two did not object, and arranged people to secretly monitor the water situation along the way, and Chen Chu and others had a total of fifty or sixty elite people on board.
Chen Chu noticed that each of these people was wearing a close-fitting water back in their clothes, and the clothes outside were just a cover-up, and it was obvious that they were ready to go into the water at any time.
As the rope is unhooked, the boat sets sail from this inconspicuous place, and it will travel more than ten miles upstream, stopping and stopping along the way, possibly waiting, to attract the so-called water spirits to the ship.
The ship was filled with "cargo", some real and some fake, and the two would blatantly arrange for the sergeant to patrol with torches to show that these things were of high value and were being protected by heavy troops.
In order to make the boat look more reasonable, the ship will also create some deliberate movements and play a scene from time to time, that is, the ship performance is not good.
From time to time, the soldiers urged the boatmen to move smarter, to make the situation look more realistic, and there were rockets and other items on board, in short, everything was ready and only the east wind was owed.
Chen Chu was now sitting in the cabin, with the master of the princess's mansion by his side to protect him, and he didn't know what he should do for a while, so he waited nervously while staring at the sparkling water.
His heart was beating very fast, and because there were no lights on the river, the brightness of the moonlight and stars was limited.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as a black light blind fire, and now the lights of Datang do not have a trace of lighting ability on this water surface.
No wonder this water ghost is so fierce, but the government has no way at all, obediently, this vision, it is really not an exaggeration to say that he is blind.
The cargo ship sailed all the way for several miles without any movement, which made Chen Chu a little puzzled in his heart.
Could it be that this water ghost has seen through something, or that they just happened to rest today and couldn't start work?
But don't, he made such a big fuss, if these guys don't take the bait, won't they be busy in vain?
Just as he was thinking like this, suddenly the front, or the rear, was not right, the specific direction was no longer clear, and in short, a violent and sharp flute sound came from the opposite.
The sound of this flute is not loud, but the penetration and movement are not small, which makes people feel upset for a while, and at the same time, an unknown panic suddenly jumps out of their hearts.
As the flute sounded, something strange happened.
For example, a thin layer of fog began to rise intermittently around the area.
Another example is that the hull of the ship began to sway back and forth, although the amplitude was not large, but I could feel that this was abnormal.
Then in the mist, it seemed that some figure was approaching, and the sound of the flute began to become intermittent, and the sound flickered left and right, as if it was ubiquitous and could interfere with people's emotions.
"It's supposed to be these pretending to be ghosts." Su Dingfang said in a low voice.
Hou Junji had already discussed with Su Dingfang before, and Su Dingfang only needed to be responsible for protecting Lord Chen for tonight's matter, and the main matter would be handed over to him.
Hou Junji was very thoughtful, and now he was a little excited to have such an opportunity to compete with these gods and ghosts, and if he made a great contribution to this, he would definitely get more gratitude from Lord Chen.
Su Dingfang naturally didn't say anything about this, he already has a membership card here, so it's good to give such an opportunity to Lu Guogong.
Chen Chu actually didn't think that he would completely solve the water ghost in one night, there must be some organization behind this, but now the situation is beyond his control, it depends on the ability of the two generals.
If he really wants to be able to serve it in one pot, then he is really thankful, even if he can't serve it, it will definitely expose something, and a delay of two days at most will definitely have a good result.
