Chapter 845: Water Ghosts
The fat man is the mayor of the town, has the right, and is good at talking. "Dao Chief, come and take a look, the five members of my third uncle's family were all bitten to death by monsters."
"Don't be in a hurry, let the poor road see." Lu Hao squatted down and lifted the covering cloth, only to find that the flesh and blood of the corpse were blurred, and some places had been bitten, leaving bloody flesh and skin.
Lu Hao checked the corpses and found that there was a strange smell on them, and there was a green object left on a female corpse.
Lu Hao took it out and looked at it and asked, "What is this?" ”
The mayor said, "This is algae?" ”
"Is there a good place in your town where these plants can grow?" Lu Hao felt that this algae was the key to solving the case.
The mayor pondered for a moment, and said, "There is a pond five miles to the west, where these plants grow all year round. ”
"I suspect that this man-eating monster is in the pond, if you don't mind, let's go and have a look." Lu Hao found a clue.
The mayor and the police captain discussed it for a while and agreed to the request.
The group left Leshan Town and found the pond. The pond is large in size and covered with a layer of green plants.
Lu Hao found some footprints in the open space at the edge of the pond. The footprint was as deep as a human foot, but only four fingers.
Lu Hao followed the footprints and found that the footprints had disappeared all the way to the pond.
He crouched at the edge of the pond and said, "I suspect that this man-eating monster is in the pond, which of you has the guts to go down and take a look?" ”
As soon as they heard this, the police all became dumb. The police captain smiled: "You Taoist priests are more suitable for catching monsters." ”
"Yes! As a Maoshan Taoist priest, I have the responsibility to catch monsters, but I don't know how to be water-based, once I go in, I won't be eaten by monsters, and I will be drowned in water. Lu Hao continued to lie.
"What then?" The mayor of the town looked anxious, if he couldn't catch the monster, wouldn't my third uncle die in vain.
The police captain came up with a bad idea and said, "This monster is hiding in the pond, we don't dare to go down, we can scare the monster out, and when the time comes, this Taoist chief can catch the monster." ”
The mayor asked, "How do you scare it?" ”
"With explosives, blast it out." The police captain was shocked.
Lu Hao persuaded: "This pond is so big, you don't know where the monster is hiding, and you don't know the depth of the water, how to blast out the monster with explosives?" ”
The police captain grimaced and asked, "With the meaning of the Taoist chief, this monster cannot be destroyed?" ”
Lu Hao said: "This monster is greedy and will come out to look for food at night. You stay here until the monster comes out, and you shoot him. ”
Mayor Mare nodded, "Good idea." ”
The police captain looked displeased and snorted coldly: "It's dark at night, what if the monster attacks us?" ”
"You are the people's police, and you will never give up serving the people." Yang Yifeng smiled, "I'm sick to my stomach, go back to the inn to rest for a while, and I'll come over to help you catch monsters at night." ”
After the words fell, Lu Hao left the pond and returned to Leshan Town.
Lan Ruoxi was waiting anxiously at the inn, and saw that the senior brother came back safe and sound, so he asked, "Brother Lu, has the monster been caught?" ”
"Nope." Lu Hao said.
"You didn't catch the monster, what are you doing here?"
"Is the monster so easy to catch, let those policemen suffer a little loss, and I'll do it again." Lu Hao planned everything and was not in a hurry.
In the evening, Lu Hao had dinner, returned to the guest room, and looked into the distance. The pond is more than five miles away from the inn, and if a monster appears, the police will shoot it, and when the time comes, they can do it themselves.
Outside the room, the night was deep, and a cold moon hung in the sky, exuding a cold glow. Lu Hao stood at the window and looked outside.
It's already late at night, why didn't there be gunshots in the direction of the pond, didn't the monster appear? Lu Hao felt strange, could it be that the police were asleep.
Not far from the inn is a peach orchard, where pink peach blossoms drift in the cold wind. Lu Hao frowned and was silent, and suddenly, a long neighing came from the direction of the stable.
A ghostly aura drifted in the cold wind, and Lu Hao subconsciously picked up the ghost-catching magic weapon and jumped down.
Inside the stable, a greenish monster opened its bloody mouth, bit the horse's neck, and sucked blood. The monster had a single horn on its head and was covered with turquoise plants.
Lu Hao slowly approached the past, and while it was unprepared, he took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it over. The yellow rune paper fluttered in the wind, and suddenly stuck to the monster's body.
Lu Hao silently recited the incantation, urging the spiritual power on the rune paper, only to hear the sound of "whew", and the rune paper ignited a raging flame.
The monster screamed and jumped to its feet. As if sensing danger, it swooped and fled into the darkness.
Lu Hao smiled in his heart and chased after him. The monster was fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yang Yifeng chased after him and found that the place where the monster disappeared was a huge pond.
Lu Hao stopped, looked carefully, and found that there was no one near the pond. Damn, where did those stupid cops go?
Lu Hao scolded angrily, in recent years, the police have bullied the common people like tigers, and they are all cowards who catch monsters. Lu Hao realized that the police were timid and afraid of death, so they had already gone back.
Lu Hao pondered for a moment and jumped into the pond. In fact, Lu Hao has practiced water since he was a child, and his breath-holding kung fu is first-class. What he said during the day was to deceive the police.
Lu Hao went down alone, even if he caught the monster, the credit would be snatched by the police. Now that the police are gone, the credit is all their own.
Underneath the pond, there are many bones buried, both human and beastly. Lu Hao dived under the water and found that far away, there was an object shining brightly.
Lu Hao swam over and found that the glowing object was a big night pearl. The upper part of the night pearl leaks outside, and the lower part is buried in the silt.
Lu Hao was ecstatic in his heart, realizing that he had made a fortune. He reached out and grabbed the pearl of the night, and pulled it upwards with all his might, but it was difficult to move at all.
Lu Hao was shocked, took a closer look, and found that there was a huge object under the Night Pearl.
Lu Hao cleaned up the mud around the Night Pearl and found that a piece of bronze had leaked underneath. With all the strength of the milk, he swept away all the silt that covered the bronze. Underneath the water, a huge bronze coffin appeared.
I don't know how old this coffin is, and patina has grown on it.
On the lid of the coffin, a ** beauty is carved. Strangely, her eyes were bleeding. The night pearl is inlaid on the bronze coffin, which is completely integrated.
Lu Hao pushed the lid of the coffin hard, but it was difficult to open. He was so anxious that when it came to the fat in his mouth, he couldn't let it fly.
Just as Lu Hao was trying to open the coffin, the green monster that sucked the horse's blood suddenly rushed out.
Its pair of sharp claws, like a sickle, grabbed towards Lu Hao's body. Lu Hao didn't see it well, and quickly retreated. His Dao skills could not be used in the water, and when he encountered a water monster, he could only temporarily avoid the edge.
The green monster is less than a meter tall and covered in greenery. It had dark green eyes, staring straight at humans.
Lu Hao remembered that his master once said that there was a kind of ghost called a water ghost, also known as a water monster, that lived in the water and fed on the blood of fish and small animals.
Lu Hao suspected that this green monster was the water ghost mentioned by the master. With Lu Hao's Maoshan Dao Technique, he was naturally not afraid of it on the ground, but in the water, his Dao Technique was greatly reduced, and it was not enough to harm the water ghosts.
The water ghost lay on top of the bronze coffin, watching the human wary.
Lu Hao took a step forward, and it would make a strange sound. Like a ghost crying, more like a baby crying.
Lu Hao understood that this water ghost was guarding the bronze coffin. Although the Night Pearl has a strong attraction to him, this water ghost is not easy to deal with.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Hao chose to give up the Night Pearl and leave the pond.
Lu Hao grimaced at the water ghost and swam out of the water. He popped his head out of the water and breathed deeply, the air outside was so fresh.
Lu Hao left the pond and lay on the grass, looking up at the night sky. In the sky, the stars are shining brightly and charmingly. The bronze coffin beneath the water came to his mind, and he felt very suspicious.
As far as I know, after a person dies, the coffin burial will choose a feng shui treasure place. It was the first time I had seen a coffin buried under the water.
Lu Hao couldn't deal with the water ghosts underwater, so he had to wait for the opportunity. This water ghost will inevitably go to Changle Town to eat people, as long as you wait patiently, you will definitely be able to eradicate it.
