Chapter 16: The Underwater Woman

I frowned, the water-splitting sword in Grandpa's mouth?

Isn't that a legend, so why do you mention this?

Liu San licked his lips and continued: "Legend has it that the water-splitting sword controls the water and kills the demon, as long as it is something in the water, even if it is cultivated to the upper spirit, you have to be afraid of it for three points, the old man just thought, if we have this treasure, not only the big demon in the back mountain can give it a knife in two, but even the heavenly spirit in the water, the old man also has the confidence to lead it." ”

I wondered, "Is there a river in this mountain?" ”

"There is no river, but there is a waterhole, the big demon and the dog spirit are guarding outside the waterhole, it is easy to solve the dog spirit, but the big demon does not have a water sword, I am afraid it can't be dealt with."

I shook my head and said no, there is just such a thing on my body, if you want to see it.

A flash of disappointment flashed across Liu Sanshou's face, and I asked him curiously, "What's in that pool?" ”

"Who do I know, but being guarded by these two things, and also causing the demon beast to be restless, is definitely not a simple thing, and the old man calculated, tonight is the time when that thing was born, it's a pity, otherwise you can lead the spirit for the first time, the eighth master and Sister Yu may not be so happy."

I was not moved by Liu Sanshou's words, but reminded me that tonight is the Erqi of the unjust soul of Sanchawan, this wilderness, if there is no dog spirit, I am afraid I will not be able to get by.

"You're so capable, do you have any means to exorcise ghosts?" I asked.

The corners of Liu Sanshou's mouth twitched, and I understood the general situation in my heart, so I asked him, "Did you get the dog spirit without alarming the big demon?" ”

"Yes, there is, but it's not foolproof, and it's difficult to do it with the old man alone, I'm afraid I need to borrow the help of the young owner."

Liu Sanshou didn't say what to do, but said that the village couldn't stay any longer, and that the tiger was active at noon and early morning, and we had to hurry into the back mountain, and there were still many things to prepare for the sheep.

On the way, I asked Liu Sanshou what the scream was before, and Liu Sanshou said that there were other people in the village.

I immediately thought of the man hiding in the house, did not make a sound, and waited until I entered the back mountain and walked deep for a long time, until noon we stopped on a half-slope, and before Liu Sanshou could speak, I heard the sound of water flowing in front of the hillside.

Follow the sound to look, a white waterfall sandwiched between the two mountain gorges, the flowing water falls, smashes on the ground to form a pool, the waterfall is not large, the waterhole is only half a basketball court size, surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, quietly secluded, but more eye-catching, is a small adobe on the edge of the pool.

The adobe was a bit like a random land temple built with a few bricks and tiles in the countryside of the Central Plains, and it was dilapidated in appearance, facing away from the waterhole, and I don't know which god was enshrined in it.

But after looking for a long time, I didn't see any trace of the big demon and the dog spirit, Liu Sanshou explained: "There is a time limit for demon animal activities, from 5 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon every day, from 3 to 5 o'clock in the morning, when it is called a sheep in the sheep gate, only some wild sheep in the wild will appear during this time period, and it is the best time to circle sheep." ”

I didn't understand much, so I asked him what I should do, and Liu Sanshou said that he was not in a hurry, he would rest first and wait until 5 o'clock to prepare.

I didn't sleep well last night by the nightmare, coupled with the high tension all the way, I lay under the shade of the tree and fell asleep in a daze, this sleep was very peaceful, and when I woke up again, Liu Sanshou was sitting next to me eating, and when I woke up, I also gave me some, all of which were coarse grains and dry cakes, and I choked and rolled my eyes, and when I was almost done, Liu Sanshou clapped his hands and said, it's time to work.

I followed Liu Sanshou behind my heart and pounded, for the first time in my life, I was still a big demon, it was a lie to say that I was not nervous, and I had already begun to sweat without doing anything, Liu Sanshou just smiled when he saw me like this, and then he stood by the waterhole and asked: "You must be good at water, right?" ”

I said that it was natural, and that the children born by the Yellow River could splash in the water for half an hour.

Liu Sanshou nodded, took out a small white particle from the deerskin bag, handed it to me, and said, You take it and dive into the water, and wait for the contents of the water to eat it before coming up.

The particles were cold to the touch, and when I took them in front of my eyes, it turned out to be Chitose Night Sand.

"You're not detoxifying?"

I looked at Liu Sanshou in surprise, only to see him smile and say: "If you don't want to alarm the big demon and take away the dog spirit, you can't do without this thing, you are the apprentice of the eighth master, and you will also be my leader in the future, so it should be regarded as a meeting gift." ”

Listening to his words, I held the Chitose Yeming Sand in my palm and said solemnly: "When I go back, I will definitely find Sister Yu for another one." ”

Liu Sanshou said that it is not in the way, but you must remember that no matter what you see in the water for a while, don't be afraid, let alone run, everything is an illusion, and after that thing eats the luminous sand in the stomach, our affairs will be nine out of nine, it will not take the initiative to attack people when the sheep are enclosed, don't worry, understand?

I nodded, Liu Sanshou looked up at the sun again, and said that it was almost over, and I plunged into the pool.

Although I have not been washed by the potion, but the perennial crawling in the Yellow River water has made me look at this kind of water that is close to transparency, and this immobile water has no feeling for me at all, and I went down a few meters with a heel, but this waterhole seems to have no bottom, and dived down for a distance, and the light and shadow on the water surface have become mottled and I can't see clearly, I dare not go down again.

The bottom of the waterhole was like a bottomless pit leading to the secluded world, and the black rumbling could not see how deep it was, like a beast's open mouth, exuding bursts of icy aura.

The body floated in the water, the depth of the light was already very faint, the line of sight was refracted by the water light into dark green, I looked left and right, did not find anything to appear, my head looked down, and I saw a white shadow slowly floating up from the deep darkness.

Although Liu Sanshou had given me a preventive injection in advance, when the white shadow gradually appeared at my feet, I felt my limbs stiffen, my scalp exploded, and I almost choked to death.

She was a woman with no clothes on.

The woman had a snake-like face, expressionless, and her empty eyes were moving closer and closer to me.

After a short period of distraction, I desperately waved my limbs towards the water, my mind was buzzing, but just at the moment of confusion, one of the woman's hands had already grasped my feet and neck, and the biting cold made me shiver, and my body climbed up towards me with the momentum, like a snake as soft as a boneless entanglement around my body, looking at each other, I found that her eyes were full of black eyes, no whites, and she was staring at me coldly.

I can't describe what the mood was at that time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the three souls are out of the body, looking at the woman in front of me has greeted Liu Sanshou's ancestors and eight generations countless times, but at the moment there is no way at all, and the woman is just pestering me like this, and there is no next step.

The previous panic had made me almost spit out the air in my mouth, although Liu Sanshou said that this thing would not take the initiative to attack people at this stage, but I couldn't hold on anymore, my mouth kept spitting blisters, the feeling of lack of oxygen made my mind more and more blurred, and the woman's face began to become distorted, and gradually opened her mouth to get closer to my face.

I don't know if she wants to eat me, but the extreme lack of oxygen in my brain makes me unable to stay in the water for a second longer, and the Chitose Luminous Sand in my hand slams it into her mouth, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one pushing her body upstream.

At that moment, the carp were all my grandsons, holding his last breath and coming out of the water directly, and when he came ashore, he saw Liu Sanshou without saying a word and punched the door in front of him, he didn't fight back, and asked me with a nosebleed if I fed the luminous sand in, I said feed your grandma a leg, are you using me as a bait to hold the treasure under the water?

Liu Sanshou didn't deny or admit it, so he asked me what was going on, and I said hey, what do you want to do?

Hearing the affirmative answer, Liu Sanshou sat on the ground with a sigh of relief, and nodded abruptly, "Shaodong, when you go back this time, Eighth Master and Sister Yu will definitely be impressed by you, do you know what that thing in the water is?" ”
