Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Past

This nail is so ruthless, the golden blades are completely submerged, and there is nothing left. The white fox screamed, fell to the bow of the boat, its legs and feet twitched, and it looked like it was dead.

Before I could shout "yes", another scream came from the boat, and the red lantern turned into a woman in a red dress and fell from the top to the deck.

It turned out that there were people on the ship all the time, but some kind of illusion was used to make people mistake it for a lantern.

The woman had fallen badly, but she immediately got up and looked at us with fierce eyes.

The woman looked to be in her twenties, very beautiful, with very white skin, thin and long eyebrows, and a pointed chin, which looked like ...... Fox?

After looking at each other, she stood up, gritted her teeth, and said, "Who are you?" How dare you harm the life of my Hu family immortal! ”

Without waiting for me to ask, Jiang Xiaobai frowned on the side and whispered to himself: "Sure enough, it's from the Hu family in the Northeast!" ”

"What Hu family?" I don't know why.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, did not answer this question, turned to the boat that was gradually moving away, and said in a loud voice: "I didn't expect that the Hu family actually did these hurtful things, do you want to take revenge?" His name is Ding Xiaoxi, my name is Jiang Xiaobai, if you have the ability, let's play a drum in front of the gong. ”

The woman stopped talking, and looked at us gloomily, with an awl in her eyes, as if she wanted to engrave our faces into her mind.

The boat drifted farther and farther away, blurring into obscurity.

I now cast myself on the ground for the five-body body that Jiang Xiaobai admired, I thought she was just a delicate little girl, but I didn't expect that there was such a hand, the blade just now hit quickly and accurately, and without mercy, she would kill when she shot!

"You're such a treasure!" Looking at the metal mesh around her waist again, I was sincerely admired, but I thought that there was one piece missing, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity, "Find a blacksmith to help you make up for it another day." ”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at me, his eyes were shining, he teased his bangs, smiled and said "um", and then happily dragged me, "Go back first, see if Guo Jiazhu is awake." ”

Although it is not complete, killing the white fox who is a demon is also a reward. It's always been a passive beating, and I don't even know who the enemy is, but now the other party is finally showing up.

As soon as he walked to the edge of the grove, a person flashed out of it, and it turned out to be Guyue Dao Chief.

Seeing the two of us, he also seemed to be taken aback, and asked, "There seems to be a demon in this place, have you ever seen a monster?" ”

I rejoiced and said, "It's a woman with a white fox, the fox was killed by us, and the woman ran away." ”

"That's ......" Gu Yue frowned and shook her head: "It's a pity, let go of the culprit, I'm afraid that she will come back to be a demon, if I can walk away, I will not spare her!" ”

Gu Yue's words reminded me, always waiting for someone to make a move, our side will inevitably be damaged, now that we have a clue, it is better to ...... "Dao Chief, I think, I will cross the river tomorrow to find that woman, and I must catch her!" ”

Gu Yue was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "That's ...... It's okay, but I'm afraid that the demon girl is not easy to deal with, remember to be careful, don't be reckless. ”

After speaking, Gu Yue clenched her fists, turned around and walked in the direction of the village, and soon disappeared into the night.

Jiang Xiaobai kept holding on to my arm, and only then did he ask in a low voice, "Xiaoxi, are you really going to arrest that woman?" ”

I nodded and said categorically, "Instead of waiting for people to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative, which will at least reduce the damage to the innocent." ”

Jiang Xiaobai's expression was a little strange, and after he stopped talking, he finally smiled, pulled me back, and said, "You're right, then let's do it." ”

Chatting all the way, the two of us walked into the depths of the grove.

…………

When he returned home, Guo Jiazhu had already woken up, he and Wang Blind were sitting at the head of the bamboo bed, and the other was sitting at the end, staring at each other.

"Uncle Pillar." I sat down next to Guo Jiazhu and said with a pleasant face: "Now that there are so many things happening in the village, you can tell me everything, and if you keep it hidden, there will be an accident." ”

Since I knew that the Ecstasy Array had nothing to do with Guo Jiazhu, my attitude towards him had become calmer.

Although I am calm on the surface, I have set off stormy waves in my heart, and I have to dig out the secret from your mouth today no matter what, otherwise you old fellow don't want to leave!

Guo Jiazhu was very weak, he looked at me deeply, sighed, and finally opened his mouth and told a break from the past.

"Do you know the great god Gengchen?" Guo Jiazhu asked.

As a child who grew up by the Huaishui River, I am naturally familiar with the name Gengchen. It is said that he was originally a deity under the throne of the Queen Mother of the West, and later was ordered to follow Dayu to control the water and came to the Huaishui side.

At that time, it was the water god who occupied Huaishui, and often made waves to harm the people, and the gods were strong, and Dayu led his subordinates to defeat repeatedly, so he had to ask Gengchen to make a move.

The two sides fought a big battle by the Huaishui, Gengchen was mighty, and finally captured Wuzhiqi and suppressed it at the foot of Turtle Mountain.

"Actually, the legend is wrong." Guo Jiazhu fell into reminiscence, and his eyes became deep.

"In that year, there was a big war, the Huai water flowed backwards, the sky and the earth changed, and the final result was...... The great god Gengchen and the water god of Huaishui have no branches. ”

Guo Jiazhu told us eloquently, and we could all listen to it.

It is said that it is the same end, but in fact, in detail, it is still Wu Zhiqi won, although he was killed, but a wisp of dead soul is not extinguished, and he is still wandering in the Huai Shui. And Gengchen was wiped out, leaving only a huge corpse, which was buried by Dayu on the battlefield by the Huaishui.

Hearing this, the three of us woke up at the same time and exclaimed, "That snake! ”

"Yes, but the great god was already a Jiao at that time." Guo Jiazhu said abruptly: "The great god of Kunlun West Queen Mother died in battle, and King Dayu did not dare to slack off, so he was buried by the Huaishui and enshrined as the king of Huai. ”

We were all stupid, we never thought that the great god Gengchen would be an incomparably big snake!

Wang Blind interjected with a wry smile: "Myths and legends have been around for thousands of years, and they have long been unrecognizable, and it is understandable that the great witches of ancient times were canonized as gods, and the leaders of primitive tribes became emperors." ”

I nodded, I still know this knowledge, the so-called gods are actually witches, and as for the immortals, they are later Taoist products, and the so-called immortals are naturally not like the gods and monsters in the story.

"What about the feng shui bureau in the village?" I asked.

Guo Jiazhu smiled bitterly and continued to narrate.

Guo Jiazhu's ancestors were Gengchen's witch slaves back then, and he has been following by the side, after the master died in battle, according to the convention, he should be buried, but when his soul was out of his body, he found one thing - Gengchen was actually pregnant!

"One, just one snake egg." Guo Jiazhu's emotions began to get excited, "The egg is still alive, but it lost its mother and couldn't hatch, so King Dayu set up a big array, nourished it with dragon energy, and ordered my ancestors to guard it for generations until it broke out of the shell." ”

I secretly said that their family had lived here for at least 4,000 years!

Wang Blind was an insider, and when he found out that something was wrong, he asked: "What happened to the burial of people in the Tengjiao Bureau?" ”

After some embarrassment, Guo Jiazhu finally told the truth: "Gengchen is a ghost witch, and her eggs are the same as hers, with the ability to devour souls; It is only possible to hatch out by constantly devouring the soul, and dragon qi alone is far from enough. ”

At this point, the puzzle of Aconitum Village has been solved, and it turns out that this is simply a bureau, a bureau set up by Dayu thousands of years ago. It has attracted people to live here from generation to generation, and after death, it was buried on Wutougang, and the soul has all become the nourishment of Gengchen's eggs.

To be honest, this bureau is really vicious, and it really fits Dayu's temperament.

"What happened to Wuzhiqi?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

Glancing at her, Guo Jiazhu shook his head, "I don't know this very well, it is said that King Dayu put his body in Guishan back then, but his soul could not be taken away, so he was in Huaishui outside the village, and he used witchcraft to make him sleep forever; This year, the water monkey is making a lot of trouble, but I'm afraid, his soul is about to wake up......"

According to Guo Jiazhu, in fact, twenty years ago, since a woman came here, the water monkeys in Huaishui have been abnormal, but they are not as powerful as this year.

The woman, who likes to wear red clothes and a white fox, claims to be from the Hu family in the Northeast.

"That is, the year you were sent to our village." Guo Jiazhu's face began to distort, and he gritted his teeth and said: "After learning that she is the Hu family and Emperor Shun, I treated her as a guest, but I found that she actually carried me behind my back to communicate with the water monkey in Huaishui, so I beat her away, but I didn't expect that she came back after twenty years, and her mana has greatly improved!" ”

At this point, Guo Jiazhu finished speaking, and the three of us fell into silence.

In fact, his words were far from solving my doubts, but brought more questions. Who am I? Why did my mother send me here twenty years ago? Who was she locked in the water?

It's just that these questions are buried deep in my heart, and I can't tell others......

Immediately, I was relieved, the female corpse must have her reason for such an arrangement, and she will not harm me, just wait and see what happens.

Now what really needs to be solved urgently is the woman of the Hu family, after she came, the water monkeys began to make trouble, and they definitely can't get rid of it, and the dead people in the village are likely to have a direct relationship with her.

After glancing at Jiang Xiaobai, the two of us pulled the blind man aside and began to discuss in a whisper.

There is no delay in arresting people, and the longer it takes, the more difficult it becomes, and now that it is almost dawn, I plan to pack up and leave at once, and then cross the river to find her.

After listening to our account, the blind man nodded again and again, agreeing with our plan. The old guy has always been timid, but this time he did not hesitate at all, and his fighting spirit was even higher than that of us.

After the discussion, I turned to Guo Jiazhu, and I sent the guest directly, "Uncle Zhuzi, you go home to recuperate, we still have to do something." ”

Guo Jiazhu nodded with a lonely expression, got off the bamboo bed, and staggered out to leave, their family has been the guardian for thousands of years, and it is estimated that they are tired enough......
