There is a small puddle on Sun Mountain, which is not a lake in size, that is, a large bubble, but it also has the name of a lake, called Lamb Lake. The name was given when the mountain was still called "Fetal Sheep Mountain". Every year, fish fry are sprinkled in this lamb lake, and a lot of fat grass carp and carp can be killed in the first net in autumn, and several families on the edge of the lake rely on this to earn some scattered silver outside the crops.

It's the height of summer in July, and although it's the dry season, the lotus flowers in the lake are blooming brightly, and it's a beautiful sight. It's just that the depth of this blister is different, because there are many fish, the silt at the bottom of the lake is heavy, and people have drowned before, so even if it is a good place to cool down in summer, they dare not have adults to allow their children to come here to play in the water.

But where will the children listen? More than half of the children in Sun Mountain Village are water-literate, and they have developed their skills in this water blister. But as the saying goes, "those who kill those who have a strong mouth will drown in water", and this is the child who played with the water blister.

Mr. Peng and Huzi stood on the shore, looking at a lotus flower, but they frowned slightly. Zhao Yueyue was also bored, so she simply took off her shoes and sat down, kicking the water to play. It was a woman standing not far behind them, and she with a teenage child looked anxious and restless.

"That...... Mr. Peng, "After waiting for a long time, the woman finally got impatient and opened her mouth, "What do you see?" How is my child? ”

This woman's surname is Dong, and she went to the Sun Temple this morning. She said that her two children secretly went to the Lamb Lake to play in the water during the day yesterday, and they were caught and beaten up when they were brought home. It was a normal thing, but after looking for it at night, the older child developed a high fever and burned unconscious. The people who bought and sold medicinal materials in the village took the side medicine, and after pouring it, it didn't look like it was getting any better.

So he took the spoon and knocked on the door frame and shouted for the child's brother to answer for him. Again and again, but to no avail, the child still did not wake up. If you burn like this, you can't be a fool?

This sister-in-law Dong was busy tossing until midnight, and she couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in a daze, but she saw her eldest son in a dream! She dreamed that her son's feet were stuck in the mud of the lake of lambs, and that he barely poked his head out of the water, crying out for help, and the woman was terrified. When she reached out to grab her son's hand, she only fished up handfuls of aquatic plants. When the aquatic plants were buried, most of her body was buried, and a thunderclap broke out, which frightened the woman to wake up and touch a layer of cold sweat on her head.

The stars outside this window are twinkling, and there is not a single cloud to be seen, where is the thunder? The child still had a fever, and his father took a towel soaked in cold water and put it on the child's head. Looking at the lamp on the table again, there was still more than half of the oil - Sister-in-law Dong hadn't slept for long at all.

This sister-in-law Dong thought about this dream, she was uneasy, she couldn't sleep all night, and as soon as the day dawned, she found the Sun Temple.

Mr. Peng thought in his heart that this Zhao Yueyue was also officially out of the horse, and the skills of this horse disciple all depend on the skills of the immortal family, there is no difference in age, and after doing it for a day, he must have to deal with this kind of thing, if he takes it together, he can help him.

The group first went to Dong's sister-in-law's house. The child was still feverish, his lips were pale, and he was making some faint sounds in his throat. Mr. Peng saw it, and it was indeed like he had lost his soul, but he was fruitless at home, so he had no choice but to go to the place where the incident occurred to take a look.

Sister-in-law Dong urged behind, Mr. Peng glanced at it, turned his head and asked Huzi, "Do you see anything?" ”

Huzi frowned and shook his head. He turned around and walked up to Sister-in-law Dong and the child, and he asked, "Child, did you and your brother fall into the water here yesterday?" As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the child's head.

The child flashed back in a panic, dodging Huzi's hand: "Don't touch me!" My mother said that you are all unlucky, don't touch it! ”

Huzi's hand just hung in the air, not when he stretched it out, and he didn't take it back. Sister-in-law Dong stretched out her hand and patted her child's back: "What are you talking about!" Then he turned his head and smiled stiffly: "Don't take it to heart, this child is small, he will be nonsense...... What's that, that's right! It was here yesterday that my family caught the two little cubs. ”

Huzi withdrew his hand and slapped each other a few times with his palms: "I didn't find it." ”

"Ah............h I'm not going to be short of your money! Aren't you all capable? How can I not find my child? Obviously, this is what I dreamed of in my dreams, so you have to look for it! ”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Mr. Peng took two steps over and pulled Huzi behind him, and said to the woman, "I can't find it now, not that I can't find it at all." There are two possibilities, one is that your head of the family came to take the child home, so that your eldest son was frightened, and his own soul was unstable, so he fell into the water and couldn't get up for a while. But my little apprentice and I searched for it, but we didn't find it, so it shouldn't be like this. ”

"And what are you telling me?" Sister-in-law Dong patted her thigh, "What's wrong with my child?" ”

Mr. Peng waved his hand: "There is also a possibility that the eldest son of your family was caught by a water ghost in the water, and it happened that the head of your family came to take the child back, and the water ghost was also frightened and hidden, but it took away a wisp of your child's soul." ”

"Water ghosts" are commonly known as "water monkeys". The water is feminine, and the ordinary soul cannot break free from the shackles of water. Legend has it that a person who commits suicide by throwing himself into the water or accidentally drowns will wander in the place where he drowns, turning into a water ghost and not being able to detach. Legend has it that the water spirits are so powerful in the water that no one can break free from them. They will wait patiently in the water, waiting for an opportunity to pull a living person to drown, and become their own substitute ghost, so that the water ghost can be freed and detached. And the unlucky guy who is innocently implicated will change into another water ghost, quietly waiting for the next person who falls into the water or frolicks in the water.

This legend is also a story that adults often use to scare children and prevent them from going to the river or lake to play. Children are familiar with it and tired of it, and most of them don't take it seriously. This time, when Mr. Peng said this, Sister-in-law Dong was also panicked: "Is there still such a water ghost to catch a stand-in?" How do you count half of the catch? Mr. Peng, I will give you enough money, you must save my child! You all have the ability to exorcise demons and subdue demons, so you must save my child! ”

"Where is it so easy," Huzi snorted dissatisfiedly, "Water ghosts are unusual, if there are really water ghosts, if we go into the water, we may all die!" ”

Mr. Peng saw that the woman was about to speak, and hurriedly rushed to the front to speak: "We masters and apprentices should do our best. I don't dare to play a package ticket, but I must have no reservations. ”

"That'...... Thank you very much. ”

Zhao Yueyue was still kicking the water with her feet, and slowly spoke: "Little tiger, did you say that the soul should be in this water?" ”

Huzi was stunned when he heard this: "It should be, but I haven't seen this shallow place." Huang girl, do you see anything? As he spoke, he turned around, and in Huzi's eyes, he saw a blue-gray python swimming out of the lake, turning into a wisp of smoke and burrowing into Zhao Yueyue's body.

Zhao Yueyue shuddered, lifted her feet out of the water, stood up and turned around, her face looked like a snake spirit. Her voice also changed into the voice of a mature woman: "This immortal wandered in the water just now, and I didn't see any water ghosts or children's spirits. You don't have to look here, there is no plan. ”

This time, not only the woman panicked, but even Mr. Peng and Huzi were stunned. Mr. Peng clenched his fists: "This immortal, but you can see it really?" That Chang Xian also replied with Zhao Yueyue's body: "Hui Dao Chang, Xiao Xian can see it clearly, the water is muddy, the mud is deep, although it seems to be a place to hide dirt and dirt, but there is nothing unclean." ”

"That! What about my children? Sister-in-law Dong asked loudly.

But no one paid any attention to her. Huzi said to Mr. Peng: "Master, if you tell me that 'water is amorphous', then the water ghost should not have an exact appearance in the water, could it be that the sky is just right now, the yang energy is vigorous, and the water ghost is hiding?" ”

"No, it won't." The one who spoke was Chang Jiaxian on Zhao Yueyue's body, "I am from Chang Python Liusi, and I know best that the spirits in the water are different from the ordinary, in broad daylight, as long as they are not out of the water, it is fine." Besides, that thing can't be hidden casually, I said no, that's a careful look. ”

Mr. Peng sighed and saluted again: "It's so hard to be immortal." That Chang Xian also returned the salute, and Zhao Yueyue was trembling again, and her face changed back to her original appearance. Then he spoke again, and the voice of the big girl said: "I'm so cold." ”

"Ordinary things," said Mr. Peng, "the immortal family is foreign in the end, the yellow immortal body is hot, the python body is cold, and the breeze is sad, you will get used to it in the future." ”

"Don't talk about it yet!" Sister-in-law Dong reached out and grabbed Mr. Peng's shoulders and twisted Mr. Peng's body back, "What should I do with my child, you have to give me a rut!" ”

Mr. Peng gently took Sister-in-law Dong's hand off his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way." I'll make a way to find the soul of your son-in-law, and you can go home now, and get something that your son usually wears, or cut off a lock of his hair and bring it to me, and we'll wait here. ”

"That's not going to work!" Hearing Mr. Peng's words, Sister-in-law Dong exploded, "You don't want to show my children, right?" Or are you incompetent? I'm leaving, you're going to follow, what will happen to my children? ”

Huzi's anger rushed directly to the door of his head, bared his teeth and said: "We have also lived in this Sun Mountain for a long time, in order to make you move your family once?" Hello big face. It's okay if we hit you, but you haven't even prepared a sip of water for us so far, and we haven't said anything bad. It's okay if you don't go, let your little cub go home and get it, and you watch us here to see if we can fly out of thin air. ”

Mr. Peng gently patted Huzi's shoulder, and then said to Sister-in-law Dong: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous, the child is small, don't take it to heart when you speak." ”

Sister-in-law Dong was stunned for a while, and three or twice wanted to open her mouth but didn't speak, so she had to turn around and tell her youngest son: "Go home quickly, go and reaming your brother's hair, hurry up." ”

The boy nodded, turned around and ran away.
