Originally, the old man said that he wanted to hit the living pile, which scared Principal Zhao and me a lot.

But before we could speak, the old man said that I was the best fit for the living stake.

I'll just say that you know that I'm a boy and haven't enjoyed it yet, so do you think I'm going to be your living stake.

"Child, have you ever heard that there is a righteous way in the world? You really think this righteous way, it came out of thin air, it's not the sacrifice of many people a long time ago, sacrifice you, happy thousands of students, the merit is immeasurable, otherwise Running Huling here is originally an evil place, and now Feng Shui has been destroyed, even if it is solved this time, who knows what moths will come out next time, and hit the living pile, this is the best policy. ”

The old man said a lot of things in his mouth, and a cigarette burned to his fingers, and he threw the cigarette butt out with a groan.

My heart says how can I not burn you!

Principal Zhao, who had not spoken, finally expressed his position at this time.

"Old man, we were supposed to do good deeds, if we hit the living stake, it would be a sin, this easy and fast way, I, Zhao, will never go."

When the old man heard this, he got up, and the rice bowl rolled to the ground with a bang.

"Since Leader Zhao said so, then I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and go all the way to the dark with you, no matter what ghosts and evil things are here in the future, it is my duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons!"

Principal Zhao said, "Okay, in the future, if I have a bite to eat, there will be a bite for you."

The old man looked at Principal Zhao and said that the yin qi came from that puddle, what happened, you tell me, let's solve this matter first.

Principal Zhao told the old man about the matter.

The old man said that if it was a water ghost, it would be easy to do, but he was afraid that in the puddle, there would be water monkeys.

I interjected and asked the old man which was more powerful, the water ghost or the water monkey.

"Although the water monkey is terrifying, but in the final analysis, it is also a creature, it can be seen and touched, and its IQ is not stronger than that of humans, but the water ghost is different, even if the corpse is still there, it can be separated from the corpse and wander in the water, it may not be caught, and it is not stupid than a human, so it is difficult to solve."

When I heard this, I felt a little wrong.

But I was so dazed by the old man that my mind didn't turn around for a while, and I never understood what was wrong.

Principal Zhao said: "Since the old gentleman said that water monkeys are easier to solve than water ghosts, why is it more troublesome if there are water monkeys in the puddle?" ”

I finally thought that something was wrong, and echoed Principal Zhao and said, yes, what's going on.

"I'm not sure about this yet, I'll tell you when I'm sure, anyway, you just have to believe that I'm not lying."

"Since you know it in your heart, then I won't ask more, what should we do now?"

From Principal Zhao's words, I can hear that he is really a leader, as Xu Da said, and now he has no doubts about this old man of unknown origin.

The old man burped and pointed outside.

"Now, of course, let's go into the water to find out if it's a water ghost or a water monkey."

"Sir, I haven't asked you for your name yet." Principal Zhao said with a smile.

"I forgot my surname Xu, my name." After the old man finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.

Principal Zhao and I glanced at each other, and we both knew that Old Man Xu was deliberately concealing his name, but the temper of the master was different from that of ordinary people, and Principal Zhao and I didn't care.

Old man Xu said that he should prepare a rope for entering the water, and Principal Zhao carried the nylon rope on his back.

"The nylon rope is strong, but we are not a tug-of-war, we can't use this kind of lifeless thing, I think the straw rope over there is good."

What the old thief said was a pile of straw ropes tied with foam, which looked thick and broke when he pulled it.

I said this is not strong, can it work?

Old man Xu said that it was not strong, but as long as it passed through my hands, even if the black and white impermanence bull head and horse face came, he would not be able to pull it, not to mention the water monkeys and water ghosts.

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he took the straw rope to the kitchen, and Principal Zhao and I hurriedly followed.

Old man Xu filled a large pot of water, took out a small bag from his sack, and poured everything that seemed to be grass ash into the pot.

Then he turned on the gas stove again.

It turned out that what Old Man Xu put into the pot was the incense ash in front of the statue.

He said that when he cooked like this, the aura of the incense ash seeped into the straw rope, and the yin thing didn't want to be broken.

"Connoisseur, connoisseur!" Principal Zhao gave a thumbs up.

"Leader Zhao, I stayed with the child to deal with the things in the puddle, you have an old cold disease, don't stay here, the province is contaminated with yin qi and the condition is aggravated, you can go back now, you will come back tomorrow at dawn, and you can return to work then." The old man said with confidence.

Principal Zhao led me outside with a worried look on his face.

"Xiao Huang, this matter is a bit dangerous, I really can't stay, you tell me the truth, can you do it? If you can't, you can go now, I don't want you to risk it. ”

To be honest, if the water ghost wasn't in the water, no matter how powerful he was, could he be more powerful than Shan Biao?

Besides, I still have the mountain spirit in my trouser pocket, the mountain spirit has eaten the mountain biao's brain, and it has been reborn, although it is not as powerful as the mountain biao, but to keep me safe, this is still no problem.

Thinking of this, I patted my chest and said no problem, I can do it.

"If he can't do it, there won't be anyone around here, Leader Zhao, as I said, he has a clear skeleton, and he is born to be a good material for catching ghosts, you can go with confidence." The old man also said.

Principal Zhao gritted his teeth and said Xiao Huang, if something happens to you, I promise you won't live.

Then he pulled out his wallet and gave me thousands of dollars in cash.

"The money is kept for you to eat, it's not enough for me to give it to you tomorrow, I will report to the above today, include you in the official treatment, complete with five insurances and one housing fund, and pay you a salary every month."

I nodded and said that you can do this, I am not in a hurry.

"Mr. Xu, this is the future security captain of our school, Comrade Xiao Huang, I will leave him behind to cooperate with your old man, I hope your old man will pay attention to his safety, please!"

After Principal Zhao finished speaking, he was still worried about my safety, so he never moved outside.

Old man Xu said Leader Zhao, don't worry, I don't want him to go into the water, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I can't fight the things below after I get into the water, Captain Huang is standing on the shore, and he can run at any time when he sees something wrong!

Principal Zhao heard that I didn't want to go into the water, so he left with confidence.

Old man Xu saw that the pot was boiling, fished out all the straw ropes, tied them together to form a long rope, picked up the rope and strangled it on me, and tied a dead knot.

I said no, Old Man Xu, didn't you say that you went into the water, how can you tie a rope for me.

"Why don't children know how to respect the elderly, you see I've lost weight like this, old arms and legs, no strength at all, and I haven't been eaten by the things below when I go into the water!"

I said, why did you just say to Principal Zhao that you wouldn't let me go into the water?

"Seeing that it's not early, I won't send him away, wait until it gets dark, in case there is a water ghost below, without the help of the sun, how can we deal with him, hurry up, the sunset is infinitely good, let's go into the water."

I said don't get close to me, what kind of master are I and you, we've only known each other for a long time.

"Hurry up, boy, you help me this time, when you are eighteen years old, I will help you, and then you will recover your divine power and pinch a water ghost to death, just like playing."

After Old Man Xu finished speaking, he also looked at my teeth, and it looked like the mystery was here.

I suddenly remembered that the iceberg beauty had told me that I would have a chance to regain my divine power and become the overlord of the mountain at the age of eighteen.

Could it be that after I turn eighteen, the mana and divine power of the mountain yellow will return to me?

It should be about the same!

Since Old Man Xu has a vision and can see the supernatural powers on my body, I think he should have a certain degree of certainty in letting me go into the water.

Besides, I don't worry about Old Man Xu going into the water.

What if he is dragged away by the water ghost, and I am alone, even if the water ghost can't hurt me, but I can't find the water ghost?

If the corpse of the water ghost is not hung up for public display, the panicked construction site will not be able to start.

Old man Xu and I walked to the edge of the puddle.

The water suddenly became clear, but there was no bottom in sight, and it was much deeper than I thought.

I was embarrassed and said, Lao Xu, I can't swim.
