I looked at the old fairy beside me with a confused face.

"The new ghost I haven't seen has opened a ghost door to scare you! Huang Jianjian took these ghosts to report to the underworld. The thin old fairy had a disdainful expression on her face.

"Tell you, don't make a fuss for a while, scare my disciples and grandchildren, listen?"

Anyway, they're already ghosts, and they've died so many times tonight, what's there to be afraid of? Lao Tzu's heart was horizontal, and he threw a sentence to the thin old fairy

"Rest assured, I'm numb. Whatever you want. ”

The thin old fairy nodded in satisfaction. Ring your index finger and thumb, stuff it into your mouth and blow it.

This is a typical whistle posture, and I remember when I was in elementary school, I practiced for a long time but didn't get the hang of it, and every time I made a hissing sound of a flat tire.

This old fairy's level is not much higher than mine, and after blowing for a long time, I didn't even hear a fart sound. Even though I can't blow it, I still mocked him a few times in my heart: If you can't whistle, don't be cool!

Life is like this, slaps in the face always come so quickly. The old fairy's whistle obviously didn't make a sound, but not long after he put his hand down, he heard a sound of "rustling" around him. Then dozens of big rats poured in all around!

Some of these rats emerged from the roofs of the side halls and crawled down the pillars, some came out of dark corners, some came out of the holes in the doors. It's spectacular.

Dozens of rats entered the yard and ran to the old fairy, squeaking at the old fairy.

I haven't seen so many mice once when I'm so big, I glanced at the old fairy, and said secretly in my heart, obediently, this old fairy must be a rat!

Seeing that the rats had gathered, the old fairy nodded and said in a sharp voice:

"Children, do something for the old fairy!"

As soon as he spoke, the rats stopped their commotion and looked at the old fairy motionlessly.

The old fairy pulled the rope in his hand, and I was pulled by him and staggered in front of the group of mice. With a little more effort on his hands, I involuntarily bent down and turned my face to the rats.

"Have you seen this little ghost? You go to Qibaojiang to investigate and see where this little devil's body has been washed away? ”

A bunch of rats staring at me in unison, and I glared at dozens of rats, which must have been very comical.

"Also, just now on the edge of the Qibaojiang Bridge, there was a kid with a stick and a charm, and he beat Lizheng, you go to the bottom and see what kind of road it is. Go ahead! ”

After the old fairy said this, the rats gathered in the yard dispersed in a hurry, and the upper room of the upper room, the drill of the hole, ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the matter was done, the old fairy sat down on the steps of the side hall and pulled the string in his hand

"Sit down, I guess I'll be back tomorrow."

I was dragged by him, and almost fell into the mud, so I quickly put my hands on the ground and sat down.

He looked at my embarrassed face and laughed

"Haha, little ghost, do you know who I am?"

I said in my heart, this old man must be a mouse! But how dare you say it

"You are... Lord Chenghuang? ”

The old fairy raised her eyebrows and glared

"Don't be! The City God is over there! ”

The old fairy pointed in the direction of the main hall.

"I am an immortal who has attained the Tao - Zhao Jiazi."

Zhao Jiazi, it seems that his name was taken according to the sexagenary land. Zi Mouse, the immortal family who has attained the Tao?

I suddenly remembered that I heard my grandmother talk about the five wild immortals in the Northeast - fox yellow, white willow gray. They are foxes, yellowskins, hedgehogs, snakes, and rats.

The ranking of fox yellow and white willow gray is ranked according to the forces behind them, the most powerful is the Hu family, the fox has the highest intelligence, and it has taken a great advantage in cultivation, so it has the greatest power

Could it be that this rat spirit is the wild fairy of the gray family?

"You are the great fairy of the Gray Family?"

"Yoh? How young do you still know the Gray family? That's right, the old fairy, I am the gray family, and on the ground in Jiqing City, there is no fairy who is higher than the old fairy. ”

What an eye-opener tonight! I saw a water ghost, I saw a ghost, and I saw a gray wild fairy!

Zhao Jiazi's expression was very proud. I took out a pack of cigarettes from my arms, took out one, put it in my mouth and took two puffs. Before I saw him light the fire, smoke came out.

Watching the old fairy smoking, I hooked up my greed, this night, I really need to be shocked, I want to ask him, but I don't dare.

I saw Zhao Jiazi spit out a smoke ring, his expression suddenly became serious, and he muttered

"Eighty-one, it's not easy for Li Helin, huh...... This kid can't figure it out, and he'll be in the immortal class. ”

Hearing him mention Li Helin, I leaned over:

"Do you know Li Helin for a long time?"

Zhao Jiazi looked at me and threw the pack of cigarettes to me:

"Boy, after returning to the yang, remember to return a few packs to me. Just come up here, burn the cigarette, and throw it into the censer. Also, I don't smoke less than twenty yuan! ”

"Okay, okay."

I hurriedly agreed, picking up the pack of cigarettes, there was quite a few left. I took one out and put it in my mouth and inhaled it, which was strange to say, I didn't need to light a fire at all, and it just smoked.

"Do you know what happened when you fell into the place where the horse gourd was?"

"I don't know, I know that place is Caiheqiao Street in Jiqing City."

"Well, the neighborhood where you live is named after the Caihe Bridge......"

The old fairy smoked a cigarette and told me a piece of history.

My city is Jiqing City, Liaoning Province, and the location where I fell into the horse gourd is called Caiheqiao Street.

Before the urban renovation, it was a river called the Cai River. The neighborhood got its name from a bridge over the river.

The Cai River originates from Dashishan in the north of Jiqing City and runs through the entire Jiqing City. Later, a reservoir was built upstream and the river was diverted, leaving only one tributary in the city.

Later, the city renovated and simply built the remaining tributary into a drainage canal, buried under the street, connected to the city's drainage system, and became an underground river.

The Caihe Bridge was also demolished immediately, but the name of Caihe Bridge Street was retained.

Lao Li, named Li Helin, was originally a talent in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The family background is not bad, and it belongs to the type of "the family has a house and a field, and the life is boundless".

The Li family told him a family affair, and the girl was a childhood sweetheart with him, and the two had no guesses.

I was going to get married in the spring. Unexpectedly, Li and Lin had an accident on the fifteenth day of the first month.

During the Kangxi period, this generation belonged to Caiqiao County, and the population was quite large. The local yamen held the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month along the river, and the entertainment and nightlife in that era were far less abundant than now.

On the same day, the Caihe River was very lively, Li and Lin tied up a Kong Ming lantern, took his fiancée, and prepared to put it on the Caihe Bridge.

The two of them finally squeezed onto the bridge, Li and Lin lit the light, leaned out of the bridge railing to put it, and a young man behind him suddenly squeezed over and hit Li Helin's waist eye, Li and Lin fell into the river as soon as they turned over.

In fact, there were so many people at that time, it was said that they could be saved. It happened that there was a water ghost in the river, and he immediately caught him as a stand-in and pressed him to death in the water.

By the time people found him and fished him up, it was already a corpse.

From that day on, Li and Lin became the new water ghosts in Caihe. After so many years, there are many people on the Caihe River who have fallen into the water, normally he would have been able to catch a stand-in a long time ago, but Li Helin has good intentions and refuses to do so when he has the opportunity.

Until the transformation of Caihe, finding a stand-in has become an almost impossible task.

First of all, no one comes, unless the work requires it, who has nothing to do with the horse hoist?

Secondly, the water storage capacity of this sewer is usually only one meter deep, and it is too difficult to drown people.

So Li and Lin have been water ghosts in Caihe for more than 200 years. has survived one term of Lizheng, and Huang Jian is the second.

After listening to Zhao Jiazi, I couldn't help grinning.

"Then I'm quite unlucky, such a coincidence can let me catch up, when the water is soaring, come to drill the horse gourd, who doesn't pull me? Should! ”

Zhao Jiazi laughed when he heard me.

"Don't underestimate this pull, the stand-in who was pulled by the water ghost can't move at all, and only after completing the 'handover' with the ghost can you restore your freedom of action."

No wonder when I first died, I couldn't move at all, it was like I was in a nightmare.

"Normally, the handover will be completed during the soul separation period of the 'stand-in'. This is to prevent the 'stand-in' from creating evil spirits because of the resentment of the water ghosts who caught him. You're a good kid, you don't have a soul leaving period. ”

"Old fairy, what do you say I'm doing?"

"Well, you kid is very strange, ordinary people go back and forth so many times, and the soul has long been fragmented, you are good, like a person who has nothing to do"

When he mentioned this, I would think of the incident on the Qibao River, choking on a puff of smoke into my lungs and coughing violently!

I only heard Zhao Lao Xian'er say:

"Well, I haven't seen such a resistant soul, I haven't seen an old fairy."

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Jiazi seemed to have discovered something, his face changed, and he suddenly stood up and threw the cigarette butt into the ground.

"Don't talk about it yet, let's buy and sell. Worryless things, rush to this moment. ”
