Chapter 8: Look Upstream

Gao Sheng said with a crying voice: "That's a ghost soldier!" ”

Mei Xin'er laughed: "Don't you see that he has no divine sense?" If it were the ghost soldiers from last night, they would have already burst out and hurt people. ”

Xie Bangui fiddled with the bottle and said, "We beheaded the chief officer of the ghost soldiers, and the ghost soldiers lost control and all turned into glowing fire. If you go into the water, you will see that the cracks in the stones at the bottom of the river are full of this kind of glowing fire. ”

"No, I'm not interested." Gao Sheng waved his hand and said, "You mean that Wang Huchen is the chief officer who controls these ghost soldiers?" So who controls Wang Huchen? Is it a torture table? ”

"It's not!" Xie Bangui shook his head and said: "The torture table was originally a dead thing, if it can control the ghosts, at least it must reach the level of becoming a spirit and turning into a demon." If such a large torture table turned into a monster, a few of us would have become its nourishment long ago. ”

A young official interjected, "Maybe it's the river god!" ”

An old official scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of the river god's blame." ”

The young official stiffened his neck and said, "Tell me what?" Liu Tou'er said good things three thousand six, and he knocked his head all day, and he was not bled out? Tell me, maybe these adults can save our lives? ”

Xie Bangui nodded and said, "If you continue, maybe you can really help us." ”

The young official was encouraged and immediately opened the conversation: "I heard from the older generation that the river god who lives in the Zhenshui River. Every autumn, we have to go out of the water to collect people, and we have to collect those unscrupulous bastards. Later, somehow, everyone took it, so that the people of Zhenshui County did not dare to live by the river. ”

Xie Bangui frowned and said, "The river god always appears in one place? ”

"No, in the past, the river gods were all upstream, but later, it seems that they have only come downstream since last year."

Xie Bangui said to himself: "Could it be that this is the reason why the Zhenshui County Ya has moved four times?" We'll have to go upstream. Are there still people living upstream? ”

"Yes, it's far from the river."

Xie Bangui stood up: "Sleep well tonight, and tomorrow we will go upstream." ”

A group of officials looked at Xie Bangui with blank eyes: "My lord, what should we do?" ”

Mei Xin'er hurriedly said: "Before we leave, we will set up a magic circle in the county office, you can accommodate yourself in the magic circle first, and wait for us to come back." ”

Someone whispered, "What if the magic circle can't stop the river god, or if you can't come back?" ”

Xie Bangui stared at the man who spoke: "Just like you said, there is a possibility that we will not be able to come back, and the magic circle may be broken before we come back." Whether you can survive or not depends on luck. Trust us, we can get you off the beach after dawn. You can go where you feel safe, or you can take refuge with someone you trust. ”

A group of officials, you look at me, I look at you, and they have no idea for a while.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Xie Bangui continued: "It's a matter of life and death, you should think about it carefully." Give me an answer after dawn. ”

Mei Xin'er Huo stood up: "Why don't you take them with you, it's dangerous to leave them here." ”

Xie Bangui looked at the angry apprentice and said helplessly: "It is more dangerous to bring them, the future is uncertain, we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and then bring a group of people who are not born in martial arts, do not know Taoism at all, and have no magic weapons to defend themselves, do you think we have the energy to take care of them?" ”

Lao Qian also persuaded: "Xie Bangui is right, it is more dangerous to bring them than to let them stay here." Even we almost missed last night. Not to mention ordinary people who have seen ghosts, their legs and stomachs are tendoning. ”

At the end, Lao Qian added: "Besides, we still have a dead fat man to take care of, so don't be kind indiscriminately!" ”

"What do you mean I need care?" The tall fat man almost jumped up.

"What do you mean by me being kind to me? You are cold-blooded! Mei Xin'er cried aggrievedly.

Three men, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Xie Bangui shrugged his shoulders helplessly and walked to Mei Xin'er's side: "Don't cry." ”

"Leave me alone!" Mei Xin'er didn't appreciate it at all.

Xie Bangui sat down beside her, regardless of whether Mei Xin'er listened to him or not: "A long time ago, I was as enthusiastic as you, and I always thought that as a ghost hunter, I should protect everyone. It wasn't until I broke through with a village of men, women, and children in the Devil's Pass that I realized how much of a mistake I had made. I watched them being torn to pieces in front of my eyes, but I couldn't do anything about it, and I was almost cut out by the ghosts. If it weren't for my master's timely arrival, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost by now. ”

Xie Bangui opened his clothes, revealing the scar on his left abdomen that he had begun to know from his throat, although it was an old wound, there were still pink tender flesh in some places, which showed how badly injured he was at that time.

Xie Bangui sighed and said, "My master said that the village was once set up by a master of feng shui, as long as the villagers can withstand the fear and don't run out by themselves, it will be fine." However, I forced a breakthrough with them and sent them all to Huangquan Road, and sometimes the price of overestimating our own abilities is often beyond our means. Do you see what I mean? ”

Mei Xin'er wiped her tears and said, "But, can they really guard until we come back?" ”

"It's just luck." Xie Bangui shook his head and said, "Even if we are fighting for luck, as the secret of the secret, it is impossible for us to know in advance what we will encounter." Each mission may be a ghost, a demon, or even a demon or a god. Therefore, in our ghost office, we will leave a suicide note before each mission, so as not to be wiped out before we have time to explain the aftermath. Hehe...... Little girl, when you experience more, you will know. ”

Mei Xin'er's eyes widened: "Then you are still a secretary?" ”

"Hehe......" Xie Bangui smiled bitterly: "The son inherits his father's business, I can't do anything but catch ghosts, or what should I do?" When I can't do it anymore, maybe I'll do some small business like those two old guys in the ghost. What about you, why do you want to be a secret catcher? ”

"Can I have fun lifting it?" Mei Xin'er pouted and turned her head: "Why don't people tell you?" ”

Xie Bangui cried and laughed: "Okay, I won't ask." Rest early, I'll have to go tomorrow morning! ”

Gao Sheng held back a smile and said, "Brother, I should ask her, who is the family?" The old girl will definitely be so angry that she puffs out her cheeks and tells you that people are people! A sucker! ”

"Have you tried?"

"Of course I did." Gao Sheng got carried away and said: "Back then, your brother and I also claimed to be 'in the midst of a hundred flowers, and the leaves do not stick to the body', and the various customs of the beauties have all been appreciated, and the fun is wonderful!" Haha-ha-"

Mei Xin'er jumped up and shouted: "If you dare to haha, be careful that the old lady recruits a female ghost to come out and have a thousand charms with you." ”

The old fat man almost cried in fright: "My little aunt and grandmother, don't play like this." ”

Mei Xin'er smiled, as if she had never cried, and ran to set up the formation before the tears on her face were wiped away.

Xie Bangui's eyes almost didn't pop out: "Tough!" ”

Lao Qian sighed: "No heart and no lungs! ”
