Chapter 110: Ghost Claws in the Water (I)

"In the grave?" The master frowned, slowly put his hands behind his back, first walked to the door of the hall, looked up at the bright moonlight, and after a long time, the master said lightly: "Anyway, when the tomb is opened at noon tomorrow, everything will be understood." Well, Qingxuan, we're going to start preparing a few things tonight in case we encounter the Drought Devil tomorrow! ”

Hu Qingxuan looked at the master in a daze, and nodded first: "Senior Brother Yang, things need to be prepared, but I think you seem to have other ideas, why don't you say them together, and we will discuss it?" "Not only did Hu Qingxuan notice Master's abnormality, but even I felt that Master had something in his heart, because whenever Master had a crucity that he couldn't solve, he habitually faced the vast void alone.

Master shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm not sure yet, so let's not talk about it for now." Why are Ergou and Wujin still stunned here, why don't you go to Grandma Wei's house soon? Hearing Master's reprimand, I pouted, in fact, I really wanted to hear what they had to say, but after all, I still had my own task, so I had to agree, and hurriedly pulled five catties out of the hall.

When I came to Grandma Wei's house again, I found that Grandma Wei's door had been closed. Wujin looked at me and said, "Brother Ergou, Grandma Wei may have fallen asleep, so what should we do now?" ”

"What to do? Of course, we are guarding here, and we can't let that drought ghost come back and disturb Grandma Wei's life. Although the drought ghost carries water for Grandma Wei out of filial piety, it is a drought ghost after all, and the water that comes back is all ghostly, and Grandma Wei can't eat it. At this point, I hurriedly glanced at the small kitchen and said, "Let's go and see if there is any water in the water tank, it stands to reason that the water in the water tank has been poured out by you!" ”

When the words fell, I had already arrived at the door of the small kitchen, but I reached out and lifted the lid of the water tank, but I was shocked! looked at the full tank of water with a sluggish face, and the flat pole was also the same, placed on the side of the water tank, which was obviously ...... I slapped the back of the head and said, "I remember that the flat dan was carried by Liu Xueyin's soul pretending to be a drought ghost, and then I seriously injured Liu Xueyin's soul, when the flat dan and the wooden barrel fell at the foot of Longtouling Mountain, and they were not taken back. Why is it that now the flat pole is not only left here as it is, but the wooden barrel has also returned, and there is a full tank of water, which is ......"

Wujin said dumbfoundedly: "This shows that the drought ghost has carried water for Grandma Wei again!" ”

"Nonsense!" I frowned, and then said: "The water is full, of course I carry the water, but I don't think about this, you should know that my master and your master used the method of sealing the mountain and breaking the veins in this courtyard of Grandma Wei to arrange a magic circle before, just to prevent the drought ghost from coming back." I'm wondering, since the drought ghost has returned, did he come back before the circle was arranged, or did he come back after the arrangement? ”

Wujin scratched the back of his head, and said at a loss: "I don't know this, if it is the magic circle that comes back after it is arranged, that means that this magic circle can't stop the drought ghost at all!" ”

"No!" I denied the conjecture of five catties, thought about it, and hurriedly said: "At that time, we all ran out to chase Liu Xueyin's soul, and Grandma Wei disappeared after that, and the breath of a drought ghost appeared in the yard again...... Later, Grandma Wei returned, and before Grandma Wei returned, my master and your master worked together to set up a magic circle using the method of sealing the mountain and breaking the veins, in order to prevent the drought ghosts from returning home. But at that time, we all forgot to check if there was any water in the tank, and it was only now that the two of us opened the lid on the tank. During this period...... During this period, the drought ghost must have returned, I think, it must have come back with water after we all went to Longtou Ridge, and when we all came back, it disappeared again! ”

After hearing what I said, Wujin trembled, and said with a slightly knotted mouth: "Brother Ergou, listening to you say this, that drought ghost is too elusive, right?" I'm really worried that it will come back suddenly, and with the way of the two of us, I definitely can't deal with it! Before the words fell, Wujin hurriedly turned his head and glanced outside the courtyard, and then slowly hid behind me.

I pushed five pounds angrily, and then said, "What are you afraid of?" As I said, the Drought Devil came back before the magic circle was arranged, and now there is a magic circle in the courtyard to protect it, plus the two of us, even if the Drought Ghost runs back again, we can at least deal with it. Besides, the water is back, and the droughts will definitely not come back, at least not tonight. Well, let's pour out this water first, and then before dawn, we will refill Grandma Wei with some water! ”

"Dumping again?" Five pounds' eyes widened.

"Of course you have to dump it!" I said seriously: "Grandma Wei eats the water brought back by this drought ghost all day long, and her consciousness is not clear, I know and understand that the drought ghost is kind to Grandma Wei, but the water it carries back will harm Grandma Wei." Now Grandma Wei is deeply infected with the spirit of ghosts, and I don't know how serious it is, my master also said, let us be optimistic about Grandma Wei, and don't let her eat the little water that the drought ghost got anymore. Don't talk about it, hurry up and pour it out! ”

Five catties of honest promises, busy with the water scoop, scooping water outside. I was touching Grandma Wei's thatched house, beware of being found by Grandma Wei that we were pouring her water, about half an hour later, Wujin finally stopped sweating, and said: "Brother Ergou, I have poured out the water in the water tank, there is nothing left, what should I do next?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and immediately said, "We're going out again!" ”

"Get out?" Wujin looked at me in surprise, looked down at the water tank again, and then said, "Could it be that Brother Ergou means that we will fill a tank of water for Grandma Wei again?" But it's a long way to get water! ”

I grinned and said, "So, you know where the water is?" Don't worry, I won't let you go alone, I'll go with you, but not now, we have to fetch water when the sky is just getting bright, and at that time, we can be sure that the drought ghost will not come back. After that, Wujin and I came to lie down under the grass shed for a while, and when the sky was about to dawn, we got up and carried two wooden barrels out of Grandma Wei's yard.

Wujin turned his head to look at Grandma Wei's yard, and then smiled happily: "I've been worried about it for so long, but in the end I still haven't seen the drought ghost, so it's the best, we can't deal with it anyway!" ”

"By the way, where is the place to draw water?" As soon as we left the village, I scanned the endless mountains and fields, and asked with a dull face: "Don't tell me how many miles and miles you have to walk, you kid, it will tire people to death!" ”

Wujin pursed his lips and said: "It's not far, it's not far, walk seven or eight miles to the southeast, there is a living water ditch, which is a branch of the river in the north." The locals know it, and the people in this area also go to that place to fetch water. "Hearing the explanation of five catties, I was stunned, I didn't expect it to be so far, I only felt tired after one run, then the villagers here almost every other day have to run to fetch water, aren't they even more tired?

Alas, drought, drought, you are really a sin!

I talked and laughed with Wujin along the way, and carried two empty buckets to walk fast, when I came to this so-called living water ditch, the sky was just a little cloudy, I looked around, the light is not very strong, in addition to the deep path that was stepped out by people, it is extremely desolate. To the west were the fields, and to the east were a row of low hills, on which were planted with many trees, and at this time the cold wind, half blowing down from the upper reaches of the living ditch, and half sweeping out of the woods, was cool and tight.

Inexplicably, I couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly frowned, and asked, "Wujin, why do I feel weird about this place?" Is it so cool and windy on weekdays? ”

Wujin was picking up a wooden bucket and putting it into the living water ditch, and said casually when he heard the words: "I rarely come here, my master and I live in the west of Yunju Mountain, and we usually go west to get water. But I also think this place is eerie and uncomfortable...... Oh! I only heard Wujin's words before I finished speaking, I suddenly saw that Wujin was actually hit hard by the water in the barrel, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed Wujin's outstretched hand, and pulled Wujin up hard.

Not to mention, this living ditch looks narrow, but it is quite deep inside. As soon as the five catties were dropped into the wooden barrel, half of his body was soaked at once, and soon it reached his neck, and I hurriedly pulled the five catties out along with the wooden barrel with all my might. However, at the same time as the five catties came up, I felt more and more that the weight of the barrel was getting heavier and heavier...... But I don't believe in this evil, just a wooden barrel, even if it is filled with water, how heavy can it be!

I gritted my teeth, and at the same time that I was angrily pulling the wooden barrel in my hand out of the water, my heart tightened, and the eye of heaven opened. Cold, I was shocked to see a pair of black ghost claws, holding the base of the barrel, I was shocked, I couldn't help but take out a rune paper from my arms, and slammed out a fire trick, the rune paper was still quite angry, and a wisp of flame burst out, and I took advantage of the situation to hit the burning rune paper at the pair of black ghost claws......
