"It turns out that Mrs. Li's surname is Li!" Xing Ruyi smiled slightly, and asked again: "Then I don't know, what is the surname of Li Gongzi's biological father?" ”

"My biological father's surname is relatively uncommon, his surname is Ji, because he was born in a fishing family since he was a child, so he didn't have a big name, just called Jiyu."

"A very special surname, a very special name." Xing Ruyi tapped lightly on the tea bowl: "What the lady and the son wanted, Ruyi has already remembered in his heart, but this exorcism is different from the side, Ruyi has to think about it carefully." ”

"It's nature!" Li Xiuxian nodded: "Actually, I didn't believe in such strange things originally, but the recent events have also made me have to be puzzled." If the girl can solve it, it is the best, if not, my mother and son will not force it. My mother and I are temporarily staying in my adoptive father's old house, which is the address, and if the girl thinks of a good idea, please let someone know, and my mother and I will come again to disturb us. ”

"Childe is polite!" Xing Ruyi said, getting up to see off the guests.

On the table, the tea bowl that was held upside down began to make a non-stop sound. Li Xiuxian heard it, turned around, glanced at it suspiciously, smiled at the punishment Ruyi, and smiled in response, and helped his mother to leave.

Seeing the mother and son leave, Xing Ruyi turned around, walked to the table, and uncovered the upside-down tea bowl. A dark cyan ghost appeared in a fluttering manner.

"If you are not afraid that you will disappear into the sun, go out." Xing Ruyi watched the ghost hurriedly float out, and said that sentence without hurrying or slowly. The ghost floated to the door, and when he heard this, he stopped in his tracks.

"I'll call you Boss Ji, can you tell me what happened twenty years ago? You should know that I am not an ordinary person, and I can see you, and I may be able to help you. ”

"Can you really help me?" Ji Yu hesitated, but there was a rush in his words: "My time is running out!" ”

"I know, three souls and seven spirits, you only gave birth to one soul, and you can stay in this world because of your son's yang energy. But even so, your time will not be more than seven days. ”

"Girl?" Ji Yu looked at Xing Ruyi in shock.

"What? I didn't expect me to be so accurate in time! Xing Ruyi said, took out a sign, and shook it in front of Ji Yu's eyes. This is the ghost card of the underworld, twenty years ago, when he was dying, he also saw it once.

"Are you a yincha? No! You're not! Ji Yu looked at Xing Ruyi suspiciously: "You are a human, not a ghost, I have never heard of it, and a living person can also be a bad person." ”

"There are no wonders in the world, as long as the living have the ability, what is so strange about doing bad things." Xing Ruyi hooked his little finger, and Ji Yu floated over involuntarily. Xing Ruyi looked at his somewhat blurred eyebrows with a smile, "Let's talk about it, what happened on that day twenty years ago?" You see, you only have seven days left, and after seven days, the last wisp of your soul will be gone. When the time comes, leave regrets, can you leave with peace of mind? ”

"Twenty years ago" Ji Yu looked up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the roof, and his thoughts passed through time.

Ji Yu clearly remembers that the weather was very good that day, and he got up early. After saying goodbye to his wife, he, as usual, took his fishing stuff and headed to the river beach. On the way, he met a Taoist priest who told him that his wife was pregnant, but as a father, he did not have the opportunity to watch the child be born. Because his seal is black, he will be killed today.

Ji Yu didn't believe this kind of remarks, especially the Taoist priest, who didn't look like a real Taoist priest, but like a swagger in the market. He scolded the Taoist priest twice, and then went to the river beach.

The Luohe beach is as calm as ever, with the occasional fishing boat passing over the river with the sound of swaying. The sound of the fishing song, although the timbre is average, and it is not very beautiful, but when you listen to it, it has a different feeling. He went to the place where he had laid the net the day before, and fished it with his hands, only to find that the net was surprisingly heavy. Ji Yu was overjoyed, so he used all his strength to drag the fishing net up. But when Ji Yu saw the things in the fishing net clearly, his face was completely bloody, and the whole person sat down in an instant.

"What are you netting? Could it be a dead body! ”

Ji Yu shook his head, although his facial features were not clear, he could still see that he was lost and depressed. It can be seen from this that the thing he netted back then was by no means unusual, otherwise it would not have been twenty years later, and he still had lingering palpitations when he mentioned it.

"If it's really a dead body, how can I, Jiyu, be afraid?"

"Yes! Madame said that you met you after the great water. At that time, there must be corpses all over the field, and you are still a fisherman's child, and you must have seen a lot of floating corpses on this river from childhood to adulthood. If it's just a corpse, it won't stagger you to the ground. ”

Ji Yu nodded: "It's not a floating corpse, but the most terrifying thing!" ”

"What?" Xing Ruyi asked.

Ji Yu looked up at her and gently spit out two words: "Water ghost!" ”

"Water ghosts?" Xing Ruyi was also stunned.

Water ghosts, also known as water tigers, are also known as river bosses. It is said that at the beginning of the Warring States Period, in this place of Ye County of the Wei Kingdom. Every year when the rainy season arrives, the river swells and floods, often claiming many lives and property, and the local witches use the excuse of Hebo's wife as an excuse to collude with officials to amass wealth, and must sacrifice young women to please Hebo. It wasn't until a new county order named Ximen Leopard came to Ye County that the superstition of Hebo marrying a wife was broken. After that, after the river was passed to the east of the Tang Dynasty, that is, later Japan, he became a household name kappa.

There are also relevant records in the ancient book Youminglu, saying that this water ghost is a naked human body, with different lengths and sizes, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and lips, wearing a basin on his head, and receiving three or five feet of water. What does that mean? That is to say, this water ghost looks very much like a person without clothes, big and small, often lurking in the water, and only in the water will he become extremely brave, and once he leaves the water, he is nothing. The existence of water ghosts can be said to be the most terrifying existence for the fishermen, so it is not difficult to understand why Ji Yu sat on the ground in fright when he saw the thing in the net.

"And what did you do after that?" Xing Ruyi asked.

"I, I'm scared, I've been watching that water ghost on the ground for a long time. Later, I found out that the water ghost was dead, and it was motionless. I don't know where I got the courage, so I got up and threw the fishing net into the river along with the water ghost. After that, I didn't want to fish anymore, so I returned home in a panic. ”

"You went straight home?"

"I went home, but on the way home, I met the Taoist priest again. He told me that I was so dead that I didn't make it to sunset. Although he knows the secret of heaven, he can't divulge it, and although he can't help me save my life, he can tell me a way to stay in this world. ”

"You believe it?"

"At that time, I was very confused, and I couldn't tell whether I believed it or not. The Taoist priest was not reluctant, but only said, if I figure it out, I will go to him with three things. ”

"What's that?"

"He gave me a round peace charm, my hair, and the rice I was eating at home."

"I understand the peace charm, but the hair and rice, could it be that he wants to do it?"

Ji Yu nodded: "It should be counted!" The Taoist priest told me that with these three things, he could help me seal my soul. ”

"Soul sealing?" Xing Ruyi thinks that he has been in the Yin and Yang worlds for half a year, but when he said this soul, it was the first time he heard it, and he felt very fresh.

"The so-called soul sealing is to seal the soul in a pre-designated object when a person dies, as if the object has become a pair of eyes left in the yang world. Dead people can observe things in the world through these eyes, and they can also see the people, things, and things they want to see. It's just that these eyes can't move at will, except for thinking and observing, whatever happens around him, he can only watch and do nothing. The fox appeared out of thin air, as chic as ever, consciously walked to Xing Ruyi's side, picked her up without arguing, put her on his lap, and then glanced at Ji Yu lightly: "A grain of rice usually indicates a year's time, how much rice you bring, how much time the Taoist priest will give you." But I think there's one thing he hasn't explained to you clearly. That is, to seal the soul, the deceased must be given to the caster as compensation. When the time for soul sealing is up, the caster will be scattered and disappear forever in this world. ”

"Nope! He told me! Ji Yu retorted: "Not only that, but he also told me that this soul sealing technique should be used with caution. ”

"Oh?" The fox raised his eyebrows: "This soul sealing technique is not a righteous path spell, but anyone who casts the spell must have something to ask for." The one you meet is rare to have a conscience. ”

"Do you remember what that Taoist priest looked like?" Xing Ruyi asked curiously.

Originally, Xing Ruyi asked questions purely because of his own curiosity. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest described in Ji Yu's mouth was very similar to a person she and the fox knew.

"Unnecessary!" Xing Ruyi couldn't help but read those three words, but the fox frowned slightly, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Does the girl recognize him?"

"I know, of course I know, he is the old immortal Taoist priest in the mouth of my fox, and the younger he gets." Xing Ruyi said casually. When Ji Yu heard this, he was only slightly stunned. The fox in Xing Ruyi's mouth, he didn't know who it was, but looking at the situation, he should refer to the handsome and handsome man in white in front of him. As for the words "old immortal", "the more you live, the younger you are", he has no way to connect with the Taoist priest back then. Because according to the calculation of time, that Taoist priest is now an old man in his sixties and seventies, no matter how immortal he is, he has nothing to do with being young.

What Ji Yu thought in his heart, naturally he wouldn't talk to Xing Ruyi, as for Xing Ruyi, he muttered two sentences, and also brought the topic back to Ji Yu. She asked, "Did you really go home and get rice for Mo Xuyou?" ”

Ji Yu nodded: "I didn't believe it, but when I thought of that water ghost, I was inexplicably flustered." ”

"No wonder, Madame recalls that at the beginning, she would say that your face was a little unattractive that day."

"In one day, after going through so many things, it is inevitable that the face will be ugly." Ji Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "When I get home, I am still confused, I am worried, worried that what the Taoist priest said is true." If I don't survive the sunset, then what will happen to my lady and the child in my mother's womb in the days to come. So, I took the lady away under the pretext, and after thinking for a long time, I took my hair and rice and went to find the Taoist priest. ”

"No wonder some people say that when they saw you bringing something, they sneakily came out of the fish farm, and a story was derived by the way. Said that you took all the silver taels in the fish village and eloped with other women! ”

"I didn't!" Ji Yu explained anxiously.

"Of course I know you didn't, because you were dead before sunset that day, when the fire broke out in the fish farm!"
