Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Water Demon

Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Feng sighed, turned his head to look at the fish pond in the corner of Nanhu, and said with some fear: "Huang Lao's leg is just a normal fracture, but the strange thing is that there is not the slightest wound outside, not like a blunt force injury, but like, like..."

"It's like it was directly screwed off by force." Zhao Xian stood up and gestured with his hand, he estimated that he could do it if he broke a leg alive, but it was cruel to think about, and who had nothing to do to go to the bottom of the water to twist someone's leg to play, this injury was definitely not made by a person.

"Exactly." The Imperial Doctor glanced at Zhao Xian unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that this young man, who was not too young and not big, could also see it, and was about to open his mouth to praise her, but saw that Zhao Xianli ignored her, turned his head and ran directly to the fish pond.

"This girl, in Xia Lin Zhiping, dare to ask..."The scholar obviously came with the imperial doctor, and was about to interject, but when he saw Yi Junli following Zhao Xian, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Xian walked to the lake, and when he saw that Yijun wanted to run to the water's edge to take a look, he was surprised and grabbed her and glanced at her reproachfully. There is obviously something strange in this lake, and if there is something unclean in it, it will fall into it.

Dare to murder me, Yijun glanced at Zhao Xian with dissatisfaction, but his body did not resist and let Zhao Xian pull behind him.

At this time, in the clear water of the fish pond, a small boat appeared, floating alone in the middle of the vast fish pond.

The green-robed Taoist priest stood above, with a peach wood sword in his left hand and a yellow talisman in his right hand, and an incense case in front of him, on which he held the incense burner and the soul bell and other utensils.

Zhao Xian watched it for a long time, and said to Yijun with great interest: "This trick is good, I will also give you a performance another day." ”

"Will you too?" Yijun frowned suspiciously, obviously not believing it, but thinking of Zhao Xian's usual appearance of having a lot of ghost ideas, he faintly believed it a little.

Zhao Xian said confidently: "Of course, it's just a little trick, what's magical." ”

The Feng Imperial Doctor who came over and the magistrate were a little displeased when they heard the words, this is a master who was finally invited, how could he make a teasing remark.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiping ran up and said: "This brother, you can't talk nonsense, Wang Lao Immortal is a famous Taoist in Baling, he is trying to eliminate demons and demons for the people of Baling, how can you say that this is an ordinary trick." ”

Zhao Xian shook his head, the Taoist priest industry in this era is really open, and you can come to Mengren with a little trick, but Mengren is a Mengren after all, and the things in the water are not something that can be sprayed off by a few mouthfuls of fire.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhao Xian said seriously: "Zhao is definitely not talking nonsense, this old Taoist priest is shallow, and he can't get rid of this goblin in the water." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone laughed, and a man with five big and three thick came to say that he had been famous for a long time, and Wang Lao was shallow, and he didn't look at how many catties and taels he had.

Yijun also pulled his sleeve and said: "Zhao Xian, don't talk nonsense, these things would rather be believed or not, or be less careful." ”

Zhao Xian twisted his neck, made a 'gurgling' sound of bone friction, and said confidently: "You wait and see, that old way will definitely not be able to get rid of this goblin." ”

The boat in the lake was still, and the old Taoist priest danced his hands and lips faster and faster, and kept sprinkling something into the water, and within a moment some dead fish floated up.

Poisoning? Zhao Xian was surprised for a while, this old Taoist priest is quite smart, but unfortunately if the things in this water can be removed with poison, it will not scare these residents like this.

Time passed by seconds, and a layer of sweat appeared on the old Taoist's face, seeing that there had been no movement in the lake, he thought that the trouble should have been removed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to call it a day and go back to the shore, when his pupils suddenly shrank sharply, and he saw a black shadow appear in the water, and slowly moved towards the boat.

"Bang!"

The people by the lake still didn't know why, so they saw that Ye Xiaozhou was slammed by something, and the whole boat was a stumbling boat, and all the incense utensils on it fell into the lake.

The old Taoist priest was shocked, and he was so frightened that he lay down in the cabin and yelled, his face turned pale, and he trembled and cried for help.

The crowd of onlookers around screamed, and the timid even sat on the ground, even the imperial doctor and the magistrate of Nafeng were as pale as earth, and they retreated again and again, and Lin Zhiping was even more afraid to withdraw from the distance.

"Get the boat back." Zhao Xian shuddered violently, ran over and frantically pulled the rope that was tied to the boat and the shore, and his heart was pounding. What the is this, so strong, that it almost knocked over the entire ship.

The people also came to their senses, and hurriedly ran over to pull the rope, and hurriedly pulled the boat back.

The boat moved quickly to the shore, and was bumped into it a few times, but there was no sign of the thing.

Fortunately, the old Taoist priest grabbed a wooden pole on the boat and did not fall off, and when he returned to the shore and was dragged down, his eyes were already white and he fainted with fright.

"W-what is this?" The county magistrate was frightened enough, and hurriedly drove everyone away from the lake to prevent being dragged down by the dirty thing.

Many fishermen are also as earth-colored, they all rely on water to eat, there is an unknown thing in the water, how can you get it, for a while everyone knelt down for the county magistrate, let him remove this thing.

The county master doesn't know how to spell, so the way to get rid of the monsters in the water is obviously not good, he was sweating profusely, turned around a few times, and suddenly thought of the young man who was full of confidence just now.

"Childe, Childe, don't go!" The county magistrate was overjoyed, and was busy looking for Zhao Xian's figure, since Zhao Xian knew that the old Taoist priest couldn't get rid of the things in the water, he must know what was in the water, and he must have a way to solve it.

Zhao Xian, who had just pulled Yijun out of the crowd, stiffened slightly when he heard the sound, and continued to walk out as if he didn't hear it.

The thing in the water is too strong, but it is not something that people can deal with, if he is accidentally dragged off the boat, there is still his life, Zhao Xian is not stunned, and it is naturally best to be able to slip away.

"Yijun, you let that son wait." Seeing the people kneeling on the ground, Imperial Doctor Feng couldn't bear to leave after all, and stopped Yijun with his mouth.

Yijun felt that Zhao Xian was confident just now, and there must be a way, so he grabbed him and said: "Zhao Xian, if you have a way, you can help these people, they all live on fish ponds, and there is such a terrible thing in the water, but how can you get it." ”

Yijun sighed faintly, obviously pitying these fishermen.

When everyone saw that someone could 'get rid of the demon', they all pounced, and even grabbed Zhao Xian with a begging drag, and the 'fairy master' kept shouting, so they almost pushed Zhao Xian into the lake.

"Zhao has been in retirement for many years, and his mana has disappeared, so he has long stopped doing this business of eliminating demons and destroying ghosts." Zhao Xian hurriedly broke free, and if he was really thrown down, he probably wouldn't be able to get up.

The county magistrate hurriedly shook his head, and ran over enthusiastically and said: "Don't be modest, no matter whether you succeed or not, you have to give it a try, and my Baling folks will thank you if you succeed or not." ”

"Yes, yes," the crowd echoed one after another.

Zhao Xian was stopped by everyone, and he couldn't help but feel helpless, he knew that he wouldn't wade into this troubled water.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiping glanced at the Imperial Doctor Feng and Yijun, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly shook his head and snorted: "If you don't have the ability, don't talk nonsense, let the people rejoice, since you can't get rid of the ghosts in the water, then Ben Gongzi will contribute money and efforts to go to Kyoto to invite a master to come, why bother him." ”

"Really?" Everyone was overjoyed, and when they saw that someone was willing to pay to help the surrounding people, they immediately ran to Lin Zhiping and thanked him loudly.

Seeing this, the Feng Imperial Doctor also nodded slightly in approval to Lin Zhiping, and glanced at Zhao Xian with some dislike.

"I know you have a way, if you don't want to help, forget it." Yijun pushed Zhao Xian depressedly, with a look of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Of course I have a way, but that method is very dangerous, Zhao Xian saw that Yijun was a little angry, and smiled for the Pomeranian, he could only sigh helplessly, turned around and smiled at everyone inscrutablely: "Since all the villagers and elders look up to Zhao so much, and then shirk it will seem that they don't know how to lift, Zhao will show one or two hands, try to test the way of this monster in the water, if you can't get rid of me, don't blame me." ”

"Childe, don't worry, we are not ungrateful people." Everyone saw that Zhao Xian was confident, and he seemed to have some tricks, so they all looked at it.

"Nothing." Before Zhao Xian waited for everyone to be happy, he waved his hand, walked to Lin Zhiping, and said with a smile: "Just now, this brother Tai seems to say that Zhao can't get rid of the demons in the water, so how about I make a bet with you?" ”

Seeing this, Lin Zhiping didn't panic at all, chuckled and looked directly at the people around him and said: "I can work for the welfare of the people, and I am willing to lose, as long as you can get rid of the ghosts in the water, I will admit defeat." ”

Good boy, your brain is spinning fast enough, so you won't be ashamed to win or lose.

Zhao Xian smiled unexpectedly and continued: "I've never done anything unprofitable, why don't you add some color?" ”

"Oh?" Lin Zhiping looked at Zhao Xian a few times, but he didn't look like a noble son with a lot of money, so he smiled and said: "Since Brother Tai is interested, I will naturally accompany him, I don't know how big a prize Brother Tai wants." ”

"It's actually quite simple." Zhao Xian shook his long flowing hair and looked at the beautiful Nanhu: "Whoever loses, take off your clothes and run around this Nanhu." ”
