Chapter 5 The First Glimpse

The water ghost's face was horrified, and there was a terrifying look in his eyes, and I stood behind Yuan Zhen, and I felt his momentum, and my body couldn't help but tremble.

The water ghost stepped back, coughed a few times, and said, "Who the hell are you?" Dare to make trouble in the territory of the river god. ”

Yuan Zhen clapped his palms and said lightly, my patience is not good, if you don't say it again, I will let your soul fly away.

The water ghost estimated that it was the hard stubble it encountered, turned around and jumped towards the raging river, the water splashed and exploded, I thought it was over, let it run, but Yuan Zhen took three steps and two steps, and the speed was surprisingly fast to the river, and he reached out to the river to fish, and the water ghost was actually lifted up by it.

The picture is weird, and it completely subverts my concept.

Yuan Zhen threw the water ghost to the shore, and the water ghost fell to the ground. Yuan Zhen stepped closer, and the frightened voice of the water ghost stammered, "You...... How did you do that? ”

"To say or not to say?" Yuan Zhen didn't talk nonsense, he was full of momentum.

I've already gotten around behind Yuan Zhen.

The water ghost trembled and said, "I said, a few days ago, there was indeed a girl who fell into the water and died, and I went to collect the soul as usual, but I did not find the soul, and the body was also fished away. ”

I couldn't help but interject and asked: "Is it my grandfather Zhang Guode who fished out the corpse?" "I was afraid that the water ghost would not know my grandfather, so I described my grandfather's appearance.

The water ghost thought for a while, and said that it seemed that such an old man had fished out the corpse.

It seems that the widow did not lie to me, and grandpa did fish up her daughter's body a few days ago.

Yuan Zhen's gaze was withdrawn from the river, and he continued to ask about the soul, and the water ghost didn't know anything. In the end, Yuan Zhen let him go.

I asked Yuan Zhen, "Master, if the girl's soul is not taken away by the water ghost, who will take it away?" And shouldn't the soul of a person after death be under the control of the earth? ”

Yuan Zhen shook his head and said, your grandfather is unconscious now, and the girl's body is missing, so it is unknown where her soul is. Zhang Yan, you have lived by the Yellow River for so long, don't you know that water ghosts also collect souls? So many people drown in the river every year, so each river gathers countless souls, and these souls can't reach the underworld, so they are under the control of the river god.

I still want to continue to ask, Yuan Zhenshen looked at me and said, you will understand in the future.

I hummed and didn't ask deeply.

I asked Yuan Zhen, what should I do now? He said to go back and see my grandfather first.

When we got home, the second grandfather was dozing off in the house, I called softly, and the second grandfather opened his eyes and saw that it was us, so he let down his vigilance and asked us, "How are things going?" ”

I glanced at Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen suddenly said, "Do you have any enemies in your family?" Or did your grandfather offend someone? ”

When I heard this, my first reaction was to deny, grandpa did such a good thing, it is impossible to offend anyone.

But the second grandfather did not answer immediately, and said after a deep sigh: "In the early years of the Yellow River flood, our village was seriously affected, when Xiaoyan was also born, her mother's milk was insufficient, the child was crying and noisy, and there was nothing to eat around, so as a last resort, his grandfather ventured to row a boat to the river to catch fish, but that day it was strange to say, for half a day, I didn't catch a fish, only caught a Wang Ba, but this Wang Ba seemed to have some spirituality, and he bit his grandfather's trousers on the boat, as if begging his grandfather to let it go." But at that time, how could he put it, the child was bigger than the sky, and finally gave Wang Ba stewed soup to Xiaoyan to drink, otherwise how could he live to this day. ”

The second grandfather said this for a while, and Yuan Zhen motioned for the second grandfather to continue.

The second grandfather sighed and said, strange is strange in the future, in the few days after Wang Ba was stewed, his grandfather has been restless, muttering that he is wrong and wrong. I asked him what was wrong, and he said that when he killed Wang Ba, Wang Ba did not shrink his head, but shed tears, and Wang Ba shed tears. It's not strange when you say it's strange. His grandfather was worried that Wang Bacheng would come to find trouble. But after so many years, nothing has gone wrong. We forgot about it. But now there is a dead king in the family for no reason, which makes me think about it.

"Do you mean to say that the eight kings who died back then are now coming to take revenge?" Yuan Zhen asked at the right time.

I was amazed at things I had never thought of before.

The second grandfather said, I just guessed that Wang Bachengjing's matter is a little unrealistic no matter how you look at it, and after so many years, it may be that I think too much. The second grandfather said and waved his hand.

Yuan Zhen said that it may not be, Zhang Yan ate Wang Ba back then, and now Wang Ba has come to retaliate, which also makes sense.

The second grandfather hurriedly spoke, no matter what? Please ask the master to help my brother and the small banquet.

Yuan Zhen said do his best.

I was in a complicated mood, and the time was very late, and the second grandfather was too old to stay up late, so I asked the second grandfather to go back to rest. After the second grandfather left, I was full of doubts. If I hadn't seen the water ghost with my own eyes, I might not have believed in Wang Bachengjing's matter, but now, my mentality has changed, and I opened my mouth to ask Yuan Zhen, Master, is what my second grandfather said just now true?

Yuan Zhen looked at me, and then said, "Do you know who this river god is usually to be? ”

I shook my head to say I didn't know. Yuan Zhen said: "This river god is generally appointed by the old dragon king, and there is a turtle prime minister in front of the dragon king, so if this king becomes a jing, he is qualified to be a river god." ”

I didn't understand for a while, I came back to my senses after chewing, and at the same time I felt a little afraid, I asked Yuan Zhen and said, could it be that I ate the river god back then?

Yuan Zhen booed and asked me not to talk nonsense, otherwise some people would be caught by listening. I hurriedly shut up.

Yuan Zhen and I went into the house to see my grandfather, who was still in the same state as before, and nothing had changed.

I asked Yuan Zhen, what should I do next?

Yuan Zhen said, I'm afraid someone has played a big game of chess against you. In the past, there were widows crying and mourning, but it was deliberately done by someone, and the widow itself was unlucky, so the widow would not be allowed to attend the ordinary red and white ceremonies. Your grandfather is obviously not dead, why does she cry when she enters your house?

Yuan Zhen's eyes also changed when he looked at me, and I was a little weak-hearted.

After a pause, Yuan Zhen said: "It's not too early, there is something to say tomorrow." ”

After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he walked out, and soon disappeared into the night, I couldn't sleep for a while, so I sat on the side of my grandfather's bed for a while and talked to my grandfather.

My grandfather had told me to find the girl, and now the girl's body has disappeared.

After a few words, sleepiness hit, and I went back to my room and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, I suddenly felt a little cold, I reached out to grab the quilt to cover myself, but what I caught was a soft lump, and there was some ice, I couldn't help but feel a spirit, and when I opened my eyes, I was scared of three souls and two souls.

I saw an extra person at the head of my bed.

The sky had just been polished outside, I suppressed the fear in my heart, jumped out of bed, turned on the light, and after seeing the person on the bed clearly, I felt a chill hit my back, isn't this Xiao Wanwan? Why did she lie in my bed?

I was so confused that I didn't know what to do. At the same time, I didn't dare to stay in this room for fear of accidents.

I went out of the bedroom, I wanted to find Yuan Zhen, but Yuan Zhen didn't tell me, where did he stay at night? As a last resort, I had to go to my second grandfather's house and tell my second grandfather about it, and the second grandfather rushed to my house after hearing it. After seeing Xiao Wanwan on the bed, his complexion became so ugly and ugly.

"Where's your master?" The second grandfather asked me.

I said I don't know.

The second grandfather had a gloomy face, stood at the door and yelled outside the house: "Which bastard who has no children and grandchildren, if he has a beam with our old Zhang family, if he has the ability, he will come blatantly, don't sneak behind his back to play tricks, what kind of dog thing." ”

The second grandfather coaxed a few times in a row, but he didn't respond, but instead asked the people in the village to watch the excitement.

There are more female corpses in the unprovoked home, and you say that the mad is not a mad person.

I suddenly thought of the black bracelet, and wanted to go into the house to see if Xiao Wanwan had it on her hand?

I turned around and walked towards the house, but was grabbed by the second grandfather, who shook his head at me and said, don't move yet, wait for your master to come.

The sky outside gradually brightened, and at about eight o'clock, my master Yuan Zhen walked towards us with a black umbrella, probably dressed strangely, so he quickly caught everyone's attention and caused them to gossip.
