Chapter 36: The Water Ghost Conjures 2
Before anyone could get closer, they could hear the sound of a woman crying from the edge of the reservoir, and after so many days, Sha Xuansheng's family had no hope of his survival, and only wanted to find his body. It's a pity that the eight people even rented a small wooden boat and used a pull net, but they didn't get anything.
At this time, it was almost evening, and Sha Xuansheng's five classmates, as well as his younger brother Sha Xuanmin, who was trawling on a wooden boat with a person from the same village, had no choice but to sit on the shore to rest. Because of another day of fruitless searching, Sha Xuansheng's mother cried sadly again on the shore.
After Li Feng and the others passed, Sha's father gave them a brief introduction.
Li Feng observed this water, the shallow water area is very narrow and steep, after all, it is the edge of the reservoir, it is the former hillside. When I asked several of Sha Xuansheng's classmates about the situation at that time, what they said was not different from what Sha's father said before, but a thinner classmate added uncertainly, "When Sha Xuansheng went into the water, I glanced at him and felt that his spirit was a little wrong... It seems to be a little trance-like, looking at the lake and smiling a little strangely. ”
"Do you think there's any strange feeling, can you describe it specifically?"
"It's like... It's like having a loved one wave at him, yes, that's the kind of laughter. ”
When several young people around heard this, they all turned their heads to look at him, and they all swept their arms with their hands, giving them goosebumps.
"Where did you go into the water?" Li Feng asked again.
"Even when we go down to play here now, we haven't swam far, it's probably within a radius of more than ten meters, and the water is too deep to dare to go too out. We were all having water fights or diving until we got ashore and realized that there was one person missing. One of the fatter classmates said.
Li Feng looked at the dark waters outside, and he was sure that Sha Xuansheng did not die in this position, because there was neither a fierce aura nor a resentful soul in this position.
The barbarian took out his compass and turned around nearby, tested it according to the method taught by Li Feng, and found no abnormality, and when he saw Li Feng looking over, he shook his head lightly and said softly: "No response." ”
"Normal, there's nothing unusual here, it's not that people don't exist here." Li Feng motioned for him to look at a position more than two hundred meters away on the right, "Do you see there?" There is a telephone pole not far from the shore, and there is a problem with the water there nearby. ”
The students were next to Li Feng, and the thinner classmate suddenly said, "I remember, when we arrived here, Sha Xuansheng looked over there and said a word, he said, 'Huh? We're not the only ones who come to play in the water. ’”
"I remembered, I did, but I didn't see anything, so I took it as a joke about his nonsense." Other students added.
At this time, the old man who had been attracted by the compass in the barbarian's hand for a while helped to pull the net spoke nervously: "You young people are really not afraid of death, he was probably the hell at that time." That place is a haunted place, since more than ten years ago after drowning a child, this time of year will flood one, there are many things that are famous, and then people in the neighborhood are strictly forbidden to their children to play there, this is stopped. The old man shook his head again and again and said in a chattering voice: "I can't imagine that something has happened so far away, it's terrible." ”
Li Feng walked over there after hearing this, and the barbarian also quickly followed. In fact, there is no obvious topographical difference between the place with the telephone pole and other places, but Li Feng noticed that there are many fewer insects here than elsewhere, and the wires erected on the telephone poles pass by, which greatly affects the magnetic field of this small place.
At this time, Li Feng felt that under the water not far from the shore, there were two clouds of yin qi lurking, and there was still the breath emitted by the corpse in that position, according to the blood breath, it was closely related to Sha Xuansheng's parents, and it seemed that he was undoubted.
The barbarian saw that Li Feng was silently looking at the place in front of the telephone pole, and he also took out his compass to look at it, but the pointer of the compass turned around.
"There are two water ghosts at the bottom of the water about eight meters away, and the weaker one of them should be the flooded Sha Xuansheng. You walk around here and watch the compass change. Since the barbarian was interested, Li Feng also let him practice how to use the compass.
After a while, the two walked back, "This is a water ghost looking for a stand-in, right?" How could you run so far. The brute asked.
"Yes, in fact, when he first arrived at the reservoir, he was already confused by the water ghost, and after entering the water, he was more affected by the water ghost, and under the influence of the water ghost's power, he swam there by himself, which is also called the water ghost conjuring spirit, which is very dangerous for people who are thin and afraid of water."
After a while, the two walked up to Shafu, "It should be on the side of the telephone pole." Li Feng said.
"But it's so far away from here, and it's not a river, so you can't rush over there, right?"
"Did you find anything here?"
The old man on the side couldn't help but ask: "In the past, the children who had accidents over there would have surfaced the next day, but why haven't I seen them for a few days this time?" ”
Hearing this, Sha Father also looked at Li Feng eagerly, wondering the answer, "He was restrained by a water ghost, did you put something like a talisman on him?" ”
"Yes, since listening to the words of Wu Lao (the fortune teller who gave Sha Xuansheng eight characters), our husband and wife were very worried about him, and after his uncle found out, he asked someone to build a small silver lock pendant for him to wear, and he didn't take it off until he became an adult."
"The person who played the silver lock has a bit of skill, and the lock also played a certain role, although it didn't allow him to resist the confusion of the water ghost, but it also temporarily stabilized and protected your son's soul from the erosion of the water ghost, so the water ghost harmed your son, but he couldn't fill the place with his soul immediately, so he could only hold his body until his soul was controlled."
In fact, Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in ancient China, has a record of relevant silver in his "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that it has the effects of calming the five internal organs and the mind, stopping palpitations, and removing evil spirits. In ancient times, silver was also used as a tool for testing poison.
The old man nodded as if he understood, "I see, it seems that our ancestors' practice of wearing silver locks for children is very good." ”
"This..."Sha Father immediately woke up, "Please ask Master Li to tell me what to do." ”
"You go back and find an item that Sha Xuansheng likes, clothes or accessories are fine, and then buy a small clay pot, it doesn't need to be good, it can have a lid that can be covered tightly, if you don't have it, you can also buy an ordinary ceramic stew cup, and you also need a kerosene lamp with a windshield and kerosene."
"Okay, Master Li, please wait a minute, I'll go and prepare." After Sha's father finished speaking, he walked quickly to his younger son's side and left after explaining a few words.
