Chapter 57: Grimace Bodhisattva
After a day of traveling, Kiki and I were so tired that we didn't want to go.
But I also know that this time I am here to do business, so it is better to go early and not later, and go to investigate first.
While relying on his memory, the drunkard Qi followed the sound, and took us from the county to the waterside of the Wei River.
The Wenshui River in our town is relatively gentle. The Wei River is different, galloping and vast. The river is relatively muddier and more dangerous.
Looking at the spectacular Wei River, I sighed for a while, and the tiredness on my body was less.
The drunkard continued to walk along the riverbank, keeping his eyes fixed on the water, squatting down to look at the terrain for a while, and putting his hand into the water for a while, looking for the location of the water cave.
As he walked, a figure came in front of him.
Kiki found out first. He whispered: "There is a person in front of him, he has a very heavy evil spirit on his body, and he is not a good person. "
The ability of psychic has advantages that are rare for ordinary people, and they can see the problem at a glance.
We stopped. Look at the people in front of you.
She was not tall, she was bowed, she looked like she was not young, she was an old woman, and she was carrying a lantern in her hand, a white lantern.
Walking slowly along the riverbank feels like a walk.
It's weird everywhere.
After we met, she looked up and glanced at us, and sang softly in her mouth: "People come from the west by the west river, the west opens to peel off the bones, and lights the soul lamp to shine on the west; People came from the east by the east side of the east river, and the east side opened to twitch off the tendons, and the soul lamp lit up the east. "
The tune is also very strange, it should be a local tune here in Shaanxi, and I haven't heard of it before.
She sang past us and did not speak to us.
After walking away, the voice still came.
I looked at her and said, "This old woman is so weird." "
Qi drunkard said: "She should also be on the road, but we are not familiar with the situation here, so let's not get into trouble, as long as we don't bully the head, don't be nosy." "
After walking for a while, Kiki suddenly stopped, with a frightened look on her face, looking at the river in front of her and not daring to move. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had seen something terrible.
"What's wrong?"
The drunkard came over and said in a deep voice, "Is there anything by the river?" "
She nodded: "On the water, there is no water, but it seems to have been eyeing us, and it has followed us from just now." "
"What's that?"
"I don't know, it's strange to see only its head and face... Be... It is a bodhisattva with a grimace. "
The face of the drunkard changed: "Grimace Bodhisattva? "
The Bodhisattva is benevolent, but the grimace is vicious, the two are together, awkward and weird, and it is scary to think about.
"At the beginning, I saw a stone statue of a ghost-faced Bodhisattva in the water cave, and I was almost killed by it, did it come out? We just got into an accident, so coincidentally? "
We are here for the mermaid beads, and no one else knows about this except a few of us.
Besides, this evil thing under the water is thousands of miles away from us, and we have just arrived here, so it is impossible for it to know about it and come to harm us early.
There must be some other reason.
I said, "Don't think too much, maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's something else." "
Qi drunkard said: "No matter what, the Weihe River is not peaceful. This place is even more dangerous than the Wenshui River, you two go back first, I will find the specific location of the water cave, and then go back to the hotel to find you. "
Looking at Kiki's appearance, I also know that she can't go. Staring at something like that, you're sure to be scared.
It's okay we can't see it.
"Okay, let's go back first, you be careful."
I answered, and I returned with Kiki.
Walking back, Kiki was much better, her eyes were looking around, but she didn't stop, it should be that thing didn't continue to stare at us.
We turned back the way we had come.
As we walked past a place with reeds and grass, Kiki walked in front and I followed.
Suddenly, something covered my mouth from behind, and before I could scream, it was dark in front of me, and I fell unconscious without knowing anything.
When I woke up, I heard the sound of sharpening knives.
Come to think of it. Finding that his limbs were tied up and unable to move at all, he looked around, it was in a small dark room with no windows. There was only dim light.
It's just that I'm bound, and I can't see who the person who sharpens the knife is, only his shadow.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Boom." A sinister laugh, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what I want to do." I want to pluck your skin, make a lantern, and then use your soul to light a fire and shine it to the west of the Wei River. "
A smiling face with an extremely terrifying face appeared in front of my eyes.
It turned out to be the old woman I met just now.
"Old woman. It's you! "
"What do you want to do! I'm telling you, my friend is not a vegetarian, and if you hurt me, you're going to have to pay for your life. "
This is not the Wenshui River, no one has heard of the backer behind me, and no one will be afraid of me as an outsider.
She carried a strange scimitar that glittered with cold light, and made two gestures at me.
"Hehe, who doesn't know that October 10 is the day when Granny Meng and I patrol the river, and no one dares to come to the river at night, since I have met you. No matter where you come from, you can only slaughter one of you to make a lantern, that's the rule. "
As she spoke, she had already sliced my clothes open with her scimitar.
Threats are useless, I can only say good ones.
"Old woman, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, we really don't know your rules, please let me go, I will definitely not commit it in the future."
"It's late."
She didn't want to talk nonsense with me, and after saying that, she aimed her cutlass at my right rib.
Just as I was about to go under the knife.
Found the black card around my neck.
"Hey, what is this, it doesn't look like an ordinary thing."
It was given to me by Xiao Jiu before leaving.
She lowered her cutlass and unhooked the black card pendant.
The moment he held it in his hand, he let out a scream.
I caught a glimpse of the old woman holding the black card in her hand, and both hands were pressed to the ground, and she knelt down with her entire knee, half-lying on the ground.
