Chapter Forty-Three: Corpses in the Water
Is that... Floating corpse ground.
The location where I saw Shan Yu Fei pointing was the reed swing that the people at the mouth of the gourd called the floating corpse land. Because the tributaries of the Yangtze River always float down a few people who are drowned in the water every year, and when they reach the mouth of the sea, they will be swept to the reed pond, so it was given such a name.
Before the third uncle came to Hulukou, the floating corpse land was also a very evil place.
A few swimmers drown each year, and some are fine when they go out in the morning, but are found floating on the reeds at night.
Later, after the third uncle came, the affairs of the evil sect gradually decreased. I guessed in my heart that it should be the third uncle who did something, but no one ever knew.
On the way to the floating corpse land, Shan Yufei became more and more sure of his conjecture after listening to my description: "The evil qi in the vicinity are all converging there, the Qi of the sky is used to nourish the spirit, and the essence of the water is used to nourish the corpse, and that place is a place to raise corpses." ”
The time we went was close to noon, at this time the yang energy between heaven and earth was the strongest and the yin energy was the least, if there were water ghosts, it was also the weakest time, and Shan Yufei was like borrowing the pure yang qi of the sun to collect ghosts.
There is no one on the edge of the reeds, and you can only vaguely see the third uncle's house.
Shan Yufei began to stare at the compass again to find a place, but he kept frowning and looking around, and I leaned over to take a look to understand what was going on.
It turned out that the needle of the compass had been spinning wildly, and it couldn't stop at all, so there was no way to determine where the water ghost might be hiding.
"I'll try." As I spoke, I took out three paper butterflies folded from my satchel, which are ghost-seeking items in a piece of paper and are only used when you take the initiative to find ghosts.
I bit my fingertips and dropped a few drops of blood on the three paper butterflies.
The color of blood quickly penetrated the paper butterflies, and they seemed to come to life in the blink of an eye, vibrating their wings and flying. Shan Yufei's eyes were full of novelty, obviously there was no such means in the black-clothed door.
"The things of the Hades Gate are really magical."
The three paper butterflies danced above our heads for two minutes, and then they all flew in the same direction.
"Wait." I trotted to the third uncle's house, loosened the rope, and held the third uncle's small wooden boat over. Shan Yufei sighed and flew on the boat, like a martial arts master on TV.
We followed the paper butterflies into the lush reed pond in the small boat, and not long after entering, a rancid smell began to fill the air.
"Do you smell it?" I asked a little nervously.
Shan Yufei nodded, looking around vigilantly, at this time the three paper butterflies stopped and began to wander and fly on the water, the scene looked very good, but the meaning of the representation made both of us look solemn.
This means... There are ghosts beneath the water.
"I'll see." Shan Yufei looked down, and I also looked over from the side. The surface of the water was a little muddy and green, and the roots of the reeds seemed to be entangled in something.
There was a black mass floating in the water, but it was not possible to see clearly.
"Water ghosts?" I subconsciously lowered my voice, as if it was too loud to wake up the thing under the water.
Shan Yufei pulled out the peachwood sword, held it in his hand, stared at the black shadow under the water, and said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten, there is a very strong resentment under the water." Water is separated by yin and yang, and in this corpse raising place, even if you are not a water ghost, you will have a problem sooner or later. ”
I was just about to speak, when suddenly the thing in the water slowly moved, as if it was being driven by the current, revealing a blistered white face, and... Only half of it, and the other half is Sensen's white bones!
"It's him!" I screamed in shock, this water ghost was actually the evil ghost when the evil ghost broke into the shop that night!
"Who?" Shan Yufei was puzzled, and at this moment, I was horrified to see that the water ghost suddenly opened his eyes, and the eye sockets of half of the skeletons also lit up with a faint red light, and looked at us on the boat with a sneer.
"Be careful! It's awake! I yelled to remind Shan Yufei.
At this time, the boat banged, as if it had hit a rock, and then the water waves shook, and there was no wind around the boat to set off waves more than four meters high!
"! This thing is guarded! Shan Yufei shouted when he saw this, his fingers wiped on the peachwood sword, and a sword slashed out, "Nine Heavens Ying Yuan, Lei Zun subdued the demon!" Chop! ”
The lightning flowed around the peachwood sword body, and it seemed to extend the sword body several times at once, and the waves were cut off with a single sword.
However, the river still took a picture, and with a bang, the crumbling boat overturned, and Shan Yufei and I were caught off guard and fell into the water.
I grew up near the water, and I was pretty good at the water, but I subconsciously held my breath when I fell into the water. But obviously, I could feel a cold gaze staring at me, and though it was uncomfortable, I forced myself to open my eyes in the water.
The water ghost sneered at me not far away, but instead of coming at me, he flew towards the single feather struggling in the water.
Damn it!
I know that he can see that Shan Yufei is the one who can really threaten him, as long as he kills Shan Yufei first, I can only become a turtle in the urn with the remaining one!
In a hurry, I immediately took out a piece of purple paper from my satchel, which is also a divine product for the immortals, and it is more advanced than the altar for the gods, and it needs to be used to urge it.
I desperately followed the method that Shan Yufei had taught me before, and transported my Qi into the purple divine seal, and I didn't care to think about whether this thing was waterproof or not.
Finally, before the water ghost pounced on Shan Yufei, the purple divine seal trembled, then flew out of my hand, quickly changed from paper to entity, and then magnified tenfold, and smashed on the water ghost's back.
"Ah——! You're looking for death! "The water ghost didn't expect that I would have the power of a backhand, and I was caught off guard, and roared in anger, and wisps of terrible black water emerged from my eyes, ears, mouth, and nose!
At this time, I felt that my chest was about to run out of breath, and I hurriedly floated to the water, and when I saw that I was about to reach the water, my feet and necks suddenly cooled, as if a cold hand grabbed my ankles and dragged me to the bottom of the water.
!
I looked down and saw that the water ghost had not yet reached my side, but the river around me seemed to give birth to arms, dragging me towards the bottom of the river, and I could not break free at all.
"Last time, I was stopped by that terrible imp, and today, you dare to send it to the door yourself!" The rotten half of the water ghost's face was blurred with flesh and blood, and his mouth was full of fangs, and he sneered cruelly and greedily, "This time, I'll see who can save you!" ”
Staying in the water for too long, the feeling of lack of oxygen made my chest feel so tight that I just wanted to open my mouth to breathe. Until now, when you are in the water, opening your mouth will only make the water rush into your mouth and choke into your lungs, and then you will really be hopeless.
Damn it......
At this time, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shan Yufei returning to the water with his hands and feet, and I was thinking that he could free his hands to save me, when I suddenly heard him shouting: "Thunder Talisman!" ”
?!!!
Rumble!
A thunderbolt exploded in the reeds, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens God fell, and the strong electric current rushed in the water, almost causing me to be directly electrocuted into cardiac arrest, and my ears were buzzing.
I vaguely heard the water ghost let out a terrible scream, several times worse than when it was hit by my purple divine seal.
At that moment, a hand grabbed me and dragged me to the surface.
A breath of fresh air rushed into my lungs, and finally made me feel alive again, and at the same time I saw Shan Yufei with wet hair, floating on the water, shouting in front of me, maybe to see that I didn't react, and shook my hand and slapped me twice: "Stupid? ”
I was stunned by these two slaps, but I was relieved, and suddenly a burst of anger jumped into my head, grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Why are you sick?" Hack me with a lightning charm? ”
"Do you have any other way?" Shan Yufei also glared at me, while struggling to swim towards the flipped boat, "The water is its home field!" If I rush down to save you, I may have to get in myself! ”
Although my hands and feet were numb from the lightning run, I had to admit that his words made sense, the power of the water ghost in the water would increase several times, even in the daytime, it would be just as terrifying.
"It's catching up again!" At this time, I felt the feeling of being dragged by my foot and neck, and I quickly held my breath before being dragged into the water.
The water ghost had already recovered from the lightning talisman just now, and rushed up from the bottom of the water in a rage.
I hurriedly sensed the purple divine seal that had been sacrificed before, and with an inexplicable and wonderful connection, I summoned the purple divine seal back and smashed it into the water ghost rushing up from the side.
Suddenly, a beam of blood light burst up from the bottom of the river, and when I was caught off guard, it directly pierced the purple divine seal, causing the divine seal to turn back into a piece of purple-colored paper, completely shattered!
At this time, my collar was grabbed, and with a sudden force, my whole body was dragged out of the water by a single feather fly, and I fell on the boat.
"Damn, sure enough, there is a helper, I wonder how the water ghost can be guarded, knowing that we are going to come and collect it!" Shan Yufei stared at the red and black mixed air mass in the air, and couldn't help but scold his mouth.
"That's... The Wisp? "I also recognize it, isn't that air mass the demon spirit that ran out of Li Laosan's corpse? It's actually hiding here, and it's colluding with the water ghosts.
"That's it..."Shan Yufei was on guard against his peachwood sword, and the cold river water dripped down from his bun, but those eyes didn't blink, "Although there is no entity, I'm afraid that thing's Taoism is no worse than the water ghost below." ”
"Hmph, you're stupid, but you have good eyesight." Mori Leng's voice sounded, and the water ghost floated up from the water, revealing the disgusting grimace that was half rotten.
When a demon spirit appeared, he seemed to be more confident, and he was not in a hurry to make another move on us: "Since you know our strength, you should also know that you are going to die today." If you are captured, I can consider giving your souls a chance to be reincarnated. ”
"Their souls are mine." The demon spirit spoke, and the voice was unknown whether it was a man or a woman or some kind of beast, and its aura-like body kept changing shape, ready to attack.
"Hehehe, you hear? Your flesh and soul are ours today. The water ghost Sen Sen sneered and surrounded him with the demon spirit.
