Chapter 20: Fishing for the Water
Because he is very familiar with the voice in the mouth of the white bones, except for the water girls who used to spend Spring Festival in their hibiscus tents, who else?
The dog county commander was suddenly frightened and unconscious, and he fell headlong into the boat.
The others were also scared and cried for their fathers and mothers.
As soon as the water girls saw that their true bodies were exposed, they were going to pounce and eat those people with their teeth and claws, and those water ghosts were scary and scary, and they were going to drag the people on the dog county order boat into the water.
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded in the sky.
A bolt of lightning swept from west to east, illuminating the entire Feixian Bridge.
At the same time, a majestic voice scolded: "You can't be presumptuous, this is the land of the eldest lady, and the immortals, Buddhas, gods and ghosts are not allowed to infringe!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the Feixian Bridge collapsed.
Those water girls with teeth and claws were all pressed into the water, and the dog county ordered the group to escape.
Later, although the dog county order picked up a life and did not die, because he changed a pair of dog eyes, he often said that dog eyes look at yin and yang, and often see unclean things.
In addition, he had killed a lot of people when he was an official in other places before, originally because he had a county order that the golden seal could not be approached, but now that he knew that he had a dog's eye, they all came to the door to entangle him.
He was disturbed, a little delirious with fright, and often babbled gibberish.
After knowing about it, the above removed him from his position as a county magistrate and told him to go back to the countryside of Huayin to retire, but he died on the road before he was halfway through.
It is said that because he lost the gold seal, he was killed by a ghost who came to ask for his life.
Since then, the river has been making trouble with the water, and no one dares to go to the water's edge for two days around the fifteenth day, let alone go down the river or walk around the river.
Because many people used to accidentally bump into the river on the fifteenth day, and never came up alive again.
On December 15 last year, a young man went to the river to wash green onions and was dragged away by a pair of hands, and now he has not found it.
"Little Master."
The old man at the mouth of the fire came to this and asked me: "You said that you pulled Long Fangrong and his party into the water, killed and divided it into two, is it the water lady?" ”
"Probably that's it!"
When others heard this, they echoed it: "For more than 100 years in our Shenlongba, in addition to the charming water lady of the county order, what other moths have there been?" ”
I heard it strange.
Didn't you say that every fifteenth water lady came out to harm people? It's only the tenth day of the new year.
asked the old man at the fire mouth: "The legendary water lady, has she ever harmed people in recent years?" ”
"Why not?!"
The old man at the fire mouth had a look on his face that you actually questioned me: "A year ago, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a one-eyed dragon man took his daughter back from the market on the opposite street, and his daughter somehow fell into the river. ”
The man also hurriedly jumped down with a thud, seeing that he was fishing for his daughter.
"But suddenly there was a whirlpool in the river, and the man and his daughter were swept into the water, and they never came up again, and no one died, and no body was seen!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The others also remembered when they heard it: "A child who was less than ten years old saw that there was a beautiful aunt in the whirlpool, and dragged the father and daughter to death. ”
"Underwater beauty, what is it that is not a water lady?!"
"Here we are! In addition to the water lady, she has never made any other strange things. ”
Due to the previous incident of the dog county order, the villagers insisted that the evil who had recently dragged pedestrians down the Tianguan Bridge and killed the evil who was still divided into two was Shui Niangniang, and they were indignant one by one: "Little Master, Gao Changsheng believes in you, we all believe in you!" You've got to help us catch those harmful!! ”
"No!"
"How many years have plagued us!!"
"When you catch those dead girls, you have to let them thunder."
I saw that Shenlongba and his party were full of indignation, and they couldn't listen to it at all, so I had to promise to let me and Jiang Sichen go under the Tianguan Bridge first.
In fact, we both have a question in our hearts: since the legend says that the water lady only comes out every fifteenth, and this statement is supported by the experience of the old man who saw the dog county order when he was a child, it must be reliable.
At the beginning of the year, the corpses found under the Tianguan Bridge were all dead from the second to the sixth day of the first month, and they had nothing to do with the days when the water lady was haunted.
How could the water lady come out at any other time?
However, the villagers have not made any evil in the Shenlong River except for Shui Niangniang, so go and take a look.
When we arrived at the bridge, Gao Changsheng and his party didn't dare to go down, so they waited for us on the shore, so Jiang Sichen and I climbed under the trees by the river and walked slowly along the edge of the river to the bridge hole of Tianguan Bridge.
I just looked at it from a distance, and the qi under the bridge and cave was different from the usual water vapor, it was very sharp, and when I looked at it suddenly, it was like the snow light reflected by a generation of famous swords.
I looked at the bridge hole, but Jiang Sichen dodged left and right along the way, as if he was hiding something, blocking my vision from time to time.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I scolded and asked Jiang Sichen: "What the hell are you doing?" ”
Jiang Sichen's words almost scared me to death: "There are a lot of dead people buried by this river, and a few of them are now standing on this road to watch us!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at my right again, and said lightly: "There is a high school student who died in a drag racing car under the rustling tree, and his body was hit and torn apart." His parents thought he was a big-grown man, and it was unlucky to pull him back, so they dug a pit at the scene of the accident and buried it, and you stepped on someone else's scalp. ”
it!
I was so frightened that I hurriedly rushed towards Jiang Sichen, and I followed him wherever he went in the future, and at the same time slapped Jiang Sichen and said in surprise: "Yes, you!" Yin and Yang eyes? ”
After all, you can see dead people without using things such as cow tears, sunsets, etc., not yin and yang eyes.
"No,"
Jiang Sichen was even more awesome than I thought: "Tianyan." ”
I'm going to go!
Divine eye!
Among the various otherworldly eyes in ancient Chinese mythology, the heavenly eye grows on the forehead and is the most powerful kind of eye, which is not a little bit more powerful than the yin and yang eyes.
Yin and Yang eyes can only see ghosts, and ordinary people don't live long if they have Yin and Yang eyes.
Tianyan is different.
Not only can you see things thousands of meters away, but you can also see the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, in short, it belongs to the level of the awesome Klaas in the eyes of various abilities.
In my memory, it seems that Yang Yang also gave birth to a pair of eyes similar to the eyes of the heavens, which can observe the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms, and I don't know if they are the same thing.
In short, he can see everything that mortals can't see.
Although I don't know what level Jiang Sichen has in this Tianyan, he is very good.
Jiang Sichen saw my envy at a glance, and said, "Don't think about it, there is a price." ”
I asked what it would cost, but he wouldn't say anything.
All right.
I also know that nothing in the world is perfect, and the person you seem to envy is not sure what kind of wind and frost sword he is undergoing behind his back.
asked Jiang Sichen: "That's right!" I estimate that the water lady is a kind of spirit called the water charm. Why don't you ask them, is the matter of Tianguan Bridge the water lady harming people? ”
Jiang Sichen walked to the big rustling tree on my right, and a person muttered nonsense to the air, and came back after a while without saying a word to me.
I asked him what he meant.
He thought thoughtfully: "There is an evil thing called Shui Niang Niang in this river, but that high school student has only been dead for less than a year, and he is a new ghost, so he doesn't dare to reveal Shui Niang's affairs." ”
In other words, I didn't ask: "Then you change to an old ghost and ask?" ”
Jiang Sichen's face was expressionless: "The high school student said that a few days ago, some powerful evil things came nearby, and I guess it was the demon you released from the white volcano..."
When I heard it, I couldn't help but want to argue that I didn't let it out.
It's obviously bad luck, so it's right to be a backstabber.
But it was not good to interrupt Jiang Sichen's words, so he had to listen to him continue: "The high school student said that he didn't dare to reveal the matter of Shui Niangniang, and asked us to go to Shui Niangniang to ask for clarification." ”
After speaking, he pointed to the end of the Shenlong River as far as our eyes could see: "He said that Shui Niangniang would come out of the water to worship the moon tonight, and asked us to wait there." ”
That's all there is to it.
Jiang Sichen and I climbed up again, asked Gao Changsheng and Fang Ping to take the villagers back to Shenlongba first, and then went around the neighborhood to familiarize ourselves with the terrain.
At about one o'clock in the evening, Jiang Sichen and I went down to the river again.
The moon on the tenth day of the first month hung high in the sky, the silver was discharged, and the entire Shenlong River was sparkling, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the river could be seen clearly.
Just as we were looking for a place to hide, I suddenly noticed a man sitting near the water's edge not far in front of me.
Looks like a young man.
With his back to us, he was wearing a mulan cloth dress, and a big bald head glittered under the white moon.
Holding a fishing rod in one hand and a rod line in the other hand is about to be put into the water, a middle-aged and elderly angler.
I'm hairy.
Will someone be fishing in this haunted place in the middle of the night?
The puzzled Chaojiang Sichen glanced at it, as if he knew my thoughts, and squeezed out a mouth shape at me: "People." ”
It's really heart-wrenching.
Ahh
Who has a heart for this thing, it's almost the same as Qingqiu.
But it's okay, the bald head is human.
But what the are you doing by the water in the middle of the night?
At this time, Jiang Sichen patted me again and motioned for me to look at that person.
I saw that in the silver-like river, a pair of hands were slowly approaching the place where the bald head was sitting from far and near.
That hand is not an ordinary hand, it is like the lime fell to the ground and cracked after it was done, and there are large and small cracks on the hand, and it is not a human hand at first glance.
How can there be only one pair of hands swimming in the river in the middle of the night?
And the appearance of this hand is exactly the same as what the people of Shenlongba described dragging Long Fangrong and his party into the water and dividing them into two.
Evil things!
The lime hand got closer and closer to the big bald head, but the big bald head didn't realize it, and still sat upright, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Seeing that the lime hand was about to grab the big bald head and drag him down with his bare feet immersed in the river, I yelled to be careful, and rushed up to grab his clothes.
In the flash of lightning, he turned his head and pushed me back, and at the same time, his face was terrified, as if he didn't expect someone to appear: "Don't come here, this is the water lady who wants to hurt someone." ”
wtf?
What the do you know there's a water lady here who hurts people, and why do you sit here with a fishing rod in the middle of the night? Fishing for the water?
I thought so, and reached out to grab the big bald head.
But it was too late.
The big bald head was hugged by the lime hand sticking out of the river and submerged under the water. At the same time, a pair of pincer-like hands grabbed both of my ankles and dragged me down.
I choked on saliva as the hands dragged me deeper and deeper.
During the struggle, I saw Jiang Sichen also plop down and jump into the water and chase after me, and when I saw that the broken copper and iron in his hand were about to hook the waistband of my trousers, countless lime white hands poured out of nowhere, covering me tightly.
Jiang Sichen and I couldn't see each other for a moment.
The big bald head below was also dragged by the neck with his white hand, and he dragged it deeper into the water. The white hand next to me dragged me, and it was like lifting a doll.
Damn, don't pull anymore.
Pull down again, Lao Tzu will be choked to death.
