Chapter 158: Stand-in

Although it was July and August, the water was unusually cold.

Cao Jun fell into the water coldly, was poured a mouthful, his mind had already sobered up, and when he looked at the ferry again, how could there be a young woman?

"There's something strange about this young woman."

As soon as Cao Jun's thoughts arose, his feet slipped, and the whole person sank into the water again.

The ferry is close to the shore, and the weeds at the water's edge are unusually lush due to the frequent residents who wash rice here.

Cao Jun's two feet, one foot on the mud, wet and slippery, and the other foot fell into the water and weeds, and was directly wrapped tightly.

He threw himself twice in the water, as if someone was dragging him down from below.

It looks like it's about to sink into the water.

Cao Jun desperately stretched out a hand and scooped up the stones by the ferry, trying to get up with his strength.

Unexpectedly, the surface of the stone adsorbed a layer of moss, which was very smooth, and Cao Jun fished it out, but he was empty.

And the drag under the feet is getting bigger and bigger, and the soles of the feet seem to be tied to something.

Cao Jun took a breath of effort and dived directly into the water.

His upper body curled up together, and his hands pulled the aquatic plants on his feet vigorously, only to feel that the water was pitch black, making people unable to open their eyes, and what he touched in his hands was not only the aquatic plants, but also human hair.

Cao Jun seemed to have opened his mind all of a sudden, and he already understood what the old man was referring to before.

There is indeed something under the water, but it is not a monster, but a water ghost.

But how could he have time to regret it?

The only weapon, the iron gun, was thrown on the shore, and now he had no iron in his hands, and he was in the water, and he couldn't use his strength.

More than 2 minutes have passed since entering the water, and Cao Jun's lung capacity has reached the limit, and he only feels that his chest is burning like a fire, and it is uncomfortable.

Oops...... Out of nowhere, he grabbed the hair that bound his right leg with both hands.

Bang.

Directly torn in half.

A woman's exclamation was heard in the water.

After losing the restraint, Cao Jun came out of the water with both hands and feet.

Took a deep breath on the surface of the water.

I just feel that the ordinary air in the past is so sweet.

Before he could crawl out of the water, the hair at the bottom of the water was wrapped up again, and vaguely, it seemed to touch a pair of soft upper limbs.

It's just that this upper limb has turned into an iron chain at this moment, hugging Cao Jun's legs so hard that he can't break free.

The first thing that came to Cao Jun's mind was the woman who was looking for him on the shore just now to help him enter the water to save his son.

I didn't expect this woman to be dressed as a female ghost.

In this Qinghe County, Cao Jun came alone, belonging to a foreigner who was not familiar with the place, and wearing the halo of a master, when he moved out of Liu's Mansion before, no one greeted him in advance.

I didn't expect that there were such ghosts in Qinghe County.

At this moment, Cao Jun filled half of his stomach with river water, and the remaining half was filled with bitter water.

Taishang Qi Refining Chapter, now he has only completed the first volume, and the second volume of the Qi Gathering Technique has not yet been introduced, and there is no skill to deal with ghosts on it.

But...... When Cao Jun was studying the attribute panel yesterday, he suddenly discovered the use of the positive qi value in the attribute panel.

Suddenly I can't take care of anything else, does it work?

I'll talk about it when I'm done.

Cao Jun immediately turned on the consumption function of the positive qi value, and then burrowed into the water, clenched his right fist, and slammed it forward.

Rumble!

In the dark and cold water, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded out of thin air.

The waves splashed on the water, and Cao Jun smashed a big hole under his punch.

The river was gathering from all sides, desperately trying to fill the gap in between, but under the interference of an unnatural force, it could not be forced.

Finally, a small whirlpool formed on the surface of the river.

The second exclamation of the female ghost also came out, and the exclamation was filled with screams and fear, as well as a trace of pain, and then she abandoned Cao Jun without looking back and dived deep into the river.

The downward drag vanished.

After Cao Jun poured a few more mouthfuls of water, he crawled to the shore in embarrassment.

WhewW......

He lay directly on his back on the steps by the river embankment, gasped a few times at the sky with his mouth open, and opened the attribute panel to see that the original positive qi value of more than 790 had actually consumed as many as 100 points under this punch.

Although this enchanted fist is powerful, it has become a big gold absorber.

Cao Jun's whole body belongings are only enough to punch seven or eight punches.

Although righteousness is precious, life is more precious than it.

In this wave, although Cao Jun was a little painful, he couldn't talk about regrets.

The positive qi value can be slowly accumulated, and there is only one life.

Fools know how to choose.

Cao Jun looked at it two more times and quickly turned off the consumption system of the positive qi value.

A sense of weakness ensued.

It's like an otaku who has been working all night, and after returning to the dormitory, he can't help but tempt the five girls to have an intimate contact.

I don't want to move every joint in my body.

Cao Jun rested on the steps of the shore for a while, and the boatman who had reminded him in the river finally arrived.

He put his feet on the bow of the boat, and held the bamboo pole in one hand, and strangely enough, despite the continuous current, the flat boat seemed to be nailed to the middle of the river, and it was as motionless as the ground.

He watched Cao Jun crawl out of the water, his face still in shock.

"This brother, have you met a water ghost?"

"Water ghosts?" Cao Jun grabbed the iron gun and staggered up.

I finally met a knowledgeable local.

He arched his hand to the boatman and said, "This brother, I haven't thanked you for the reminder just now, I don't know what this water ghost is?" Why does it appear in this clear river? ”

The boatman fixed the boat with a bamboo pole, and just stood on the boat and chatted with Cao Jun.

Although this Qinghe County is good, in this Qinghe River, there is a kind of poisonous weed, called Water Mangweed.

Whether it is before or after death, as long as you eat this poisonous weed by mistake, you will die immediately and become a water ghost.

This kind of ghost cannot be reincarnated, and the person who died must be found in place of him before he can be reincarnated.

The female ghost just now obviously regarded Cao Jun as a substitute for death.

As long as Cao Jun drowns by the river, where the water and grass are overgrown, Cao Jun will become her stand-in.

After that, she can go to reincarnation and reincarnate, and Cao Jun will continue her previous operation until Cao Jun also finds someone to die in her place, which can be regarded as escaping reincarnation.

The boatman spoke for a while, and suddenly stirred up a bamboo pole in the water on the shore, and then picked up a handful of weeds like kudzu, and some purple flowers bloomed on them, which looked very strange.

"This is the water mandarin."

"Generally, where there is a lot of water and grass, there must be a drowning ghost, also known as a water ghost, please be careful."

After the boatman finished speaking, Cao Jun understood the reason why the riverbank was so quiet.

Before, he was a little puzzled, this Qinghe River is rich in aquatic products, the current is not turbulent, why there is not a fisherman on the river, and there are few pedestrians on the embankment.

It turned out that it was all to avoid this water ghost.

This boatman is also a warm-hearted man, he reminded Cao Jun in advance, and helped him solve his doubts afterwards, which can be regarded as a kindness to Cao Jun.

Cao Jun immediately invited: "This eldest brother, my house is nearby, and there are two glasses of thin wine at home, in order to thank the eldest brother for his help, please go to my house for a few drinks." ”

When the boatman heard that there was wine, he was very moved.

He looked up at the sky, and saw that most of the clouds in the sky had been blown away, and the fog on the river surface had gradually dispersed.

"It's not early, you have good wine at home and prepare it first, I'll visit the door another day, now I'm begging for a living in the river, and you live by the river, we are also neighbors, and we will meet sooner or later."

"There will be a date later!"

After the boatman finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Cao Jun in a chic manner, and soon disappeared on the river with a bamboo pole.
