Chapter 24: The Water Demon
In fact, whether there are ghosts in this world is inconclusive, and I haven't really seen ghosts, but from the moment I met Deye, I believed that even if there are no ghosts in this world, there are demons, cultivating in the world.
There is good and evil, it is nothing more than to get rid of the demon body, so as to turn into a human form, according to the ancient books given by Er Mazi, the ultimate mystery of cultivation is to be human, and then to become an immortal.
In short, it is very mysterious, after entering the old street of Shuicheng, we took a closer look, and there were dilapidated old houses everywhere, without a little swelling.
The shops along the street are closed, and there are many cracks on the houses, which have been around for a long time.
Shen Liang took the two of us to the old street, when the sky had just darkened, and some high-rise buildings could be seen not far away.
"The water area where the water demon appeared is ahead, and I have people prepare nets." Shen Liang pointed ahead, there was a small river, and a few guys were guarding there, holding a large net in their hands.
"Does your old antique work?" I wondered.
Shen Liang weighed the porcelain bottle and nodded to indicate that it worked, but I was still a little worried, I always felt that this water demon was not so simple, otherwise with Shen Liang's temperament, he would have done it a long time ago.
When I came to the river, I stared at the dark river, dead and silent, and the muddy water emitted a foul smell, as if it smelled of corpses.
The river water was even green, and the biting stench was permeating, I took a look, I didn't believe there were water demons in this place, damn it, this is too tasteless, so I have to find a place with clear waters, or big rivers and lakes or something.
Shen Liang calculated the time, and after determining the point, he nodded to a few guys next to him.
I saw a few men carrying a basket, taking out rice from it, pouring it into the water, and putting some chicken in it.
Meng Yun'er and I were confused, but we didn't talk much, and after waiting for about an hour, we saw that in the originally dead and silent river, there was suddenly a movement, and blisters emerged from a distance, walking along here.
The water blisters reached the place where the rice and chicken were thrown, and began to swirl, and then the chicken and other chickens were caught in it.
I looked at the scene in front of me in amazement, could there really be a water demon?
But Shen Liang was not in a hurry, but stared at me, and at the same time made a silent gesture towards me, and I immediately became nervous.
In the depths of the whirlpool, something seemed to be swimming, but it did not emerge from the water, and a pair of green eyes could be faintly seen.
Is it a water ghost, I often hear of water monkeys in the countryside, but most of those things are in shallow water, and this small river is very long, so it can't exist.
The whirlpool did not stop, and a few of us did not move, so after observing it for about ten minutes, suddenly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the whirlpool, a green hand, as if it was spread by moss, which was deeply terrifying.
The green hand fumbled around, as if he was waiting for something, Shen Liang smiled and ignored it.
"Why don't you give an antique?" I asked.
"This thing isn't a water demon, it's just confusing." Shen Liang said.
Sure enough, a guy next to him took a scrap metal and threw it down, and the green hand grabbed it violently, sank into the water, and swam away into the distance.
Meng Yun'er and I were very curious, and watched it escape, and later I realized that in fact, the water demon had harmed a lot of people, and also controlled a lot of corpses, refining them into puppets, and Shen Liang was deceived into the bronze yin-yang fish in the first place.
The water calmed down again, and this time, the guys around Shen Liang began to rearrange the trap, cast the big net into the water, and finally tied the celadon bottle with a red rope and threw it into the net.
After everything was ready, about a few minutes later, a vortex appeared again in the distance, this time even larger than before, and the blisters spread out like flying fish.
In the water, a huge figure loomed in sight, like a fish and a man, plunging headlong into a big net.
The red rope in Shen Liang's hand immediately tightened, and he shouted, "Catch!" ”
At the sound of an order, the big net rose up instantly, but the water demon was so powerful that several guys couldn't hold it down at all, and one of them was pulled into the water by inertia.
"Young Master, help!" The guy yelled.
As soon as I saw it, I hurriedly rushed up and took the man's hand, but there was a scream, the blood spread on the water, the man wailed in pain, and his upper body separated.
I looked at the half-cut guy blankly, a little frightened in my heart, Meng Yun'er screamed, covered her face and didn't dare to look.
On the other end, Shen Liang scolded: "Kill my buddy, I can't spare you." ”
As he spoke, a crossbow arrow appeared in his hand and stabbed into the water, and the crossbow arrow hit the body of the water demon, and a huge tail was exposed during the rolling.
It was as if the body of a crocodile was hard and not like words, Shen Liang was also on fire, and the water demon was even more stinging and struggling.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow erupted from the water, stabbing towards Shen Liang, I secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly reminded, but it was too late, that thing was a bone spur, very sharp, like a knife, which hit Shen Liang's shoulder, he stumbled, and the whole person fell into the water.
"Young Master!" The guys around shouted and hurried to jump down.
"Don't come down, you guys hold me back." Shen Liang stopped.
In the water, the water demon rushed towards Shen Liang, he immediately swam away and dodged, but after all, the water is the world of the water demon, and no matter how good the water is, it can't work.
Shen Liang was in crisis for a while, I was anxious to watch from the shore, Meng Yun'er said: "Don't you save him, if he dies, I'm afraid even Prince Chen won't be able to track him down." ”
As soon as I heard it, this is the reason, this guy can't die, and I still expect him to find Prince Chen to take revenge.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked at it squarely and wanted to find some guys to help, but at this moment, Shen Liang was injured again, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't wait, gritted my teeth, and began to take off my clothes and pants, Meng Yun'er screamed: "What are you doing, rascal!" ”
I glanced at it angrily, what time is it, how can Lao Tzu be in the mood to play hooligan, and then picked up the grandmaster sword and jumped into the river.
Underwater, cold and biting, this is not summer, the cold in the water makes people shiver, and the pungent smell is permeated.
Under the turbulent water, it seemed that a giant dragon was rolling, Shen Liang was struggling to dodge, trying to climb up, I saw the right time, I saw a long thing at a glance, and then pounced.
The babies in the mountains are all watery, and this jump happened to fall on the water demon's body, and I can't figure out what this thing looks like, and I always feel that the skin is very rough.
The water demon rolled violently, and the strength was very great, if it wasn't for Master De to give me that thing, I would have been finished long ago.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Liang hurriedly climbed up, and I clung to it in the water, and the Grandmaster Sword stabbed into his body fiercely.
The river was suddenly muddy, the water demon was in pain, and immediately dived into the water, I held my breath, and the whole person sank into it, tossing under the undercurrent.
The water demon seemed to be very angry, and kept dragging me into the water, and at the same time slammed into the wall in the water, and for a while the whole person was a little confused, and my body hurt badly.
But I understand that once I break free, this water demon will inevitably fight back, and it will be over when the time comes, and under the gritting of my teeth, my heart is ruthless, and the sword in my hand has been stabbed more than ten times in succession.
Eventually, the water demon was stabbed in the abdomen, and suddenly struggled much less.
At the same time, Shen Liang and a few guys on the shore hurriedly pulled the big net and broke out of the water in an instant.
I hurriedly rolled over and landed on the shore, the whole person was lying on the ground panting, and Meng Yun'er on the side hurriedly came over: "Jiang Sheng, are you okay?" ”
I felt like my whole body was about to fall apart, coughed, spit out the water in my mouth, and looked back at the same time, and the whole person was immediately shocked.
In the middle of the river, a huge water demon appeared, the body of a crocodile, a face similar to that of a monkey, and if you look closely, the green face and fangs are a bit like a human, and the green eyes are staring at me.
The body is more than three meters long, very burly, with a sword in his abdomen, is this a water demon, I was stunned for a while.
Shen Liang walked over and stared at the water demon with a solemn expression: "It's this water demon, it seems that we have succeeded." ”
After I got dressed, I looked at the water demon carefully, and the more I looked, the more frightened I became, and it was really weird and terrifying.
But this thing seemed to be staring at me, and its eyes were full of hatred, and I didn't think so, but stepped forward and said, "I don't care if you are smart or not, hand over the bronze yin-yang fish and let you live." ”
The water demon didn't reply, and when I thought about it, I estimated that he was a dumb person, and he didn't understand human intelligence, so I was a little speechless.
But at this moment, the water demon suddenly moved, and its mouth was open.
