Chapter 16: The Death of the Dao Chief
I choked a few mouthfuls of water under the water and immediately wanted to swim up, and everywhere there were shouts and screams from the villagers.
As soon as I surfaced, a black shadow slammed into me, it was the village chief.
The village chief threw me into the river again, and I hurriedly grabbed the village chief's waist, but the village chief did not move, but put one hand around my neck, and I swam out of the water in three or five strokes.
I wiped a handful of water from my face, and suddenly I heard a miserable scream from the Jiuyang Dao Chief.
I yelled, "Lingling, stop! ”
Ling Ling threw the Jiuyang Daoist to the ground, held a dagger in his right hand, and slammed it into the right eye of the Jiuyang Daoist......
The water in front of me turned red, and the Jiuyang Daoist had a dagger stuck in his eyes, and half of his body fell on the boat, and his head just fell on the water.
The next moment, the red-clothed spirit violently pulled the dagger away, blood spurted, and the spirit grinned at me and jumped into the water on the right......
My heart is trembling, the Jiuyang Dao Elder is dead, and he was killed by Lingling!
"Lingling, Lingling!" I shouted in the direction of Lingling's fall, and in the dim moonlight, Lingling's figure was no longer visible.
"Get on board, get on board!"
"Ning Que, you and the village chief hurry up!"
The surface of the water quickly returned to calm, and the four boats had already run away, and the remaining eighteen people got on the remaining two boats.
Except for the Jiuyang Dao Chief, everyone else was fine, and everyone's faces were full of horror, and they didn't dare to approach the Jiuyang Dao Chief's body.
As soon as the village chief and I got on the boat, the boat had already started and was heading quickly into the distance, the boat had just started, the hull of the boat shook, and the body of the Jiuyang Taoist turned over from the boat gang and fell into the water.
"Which of you has seen the spirit? Where did the spirit go? What do I ask you? "I'm in a hurry.
"Ning Que, didn't you see it? It was Lingling who killed the Jiuyang Dao Chief! ”
"Tonight, we all saw the river demon, a white snake."
"Lingling is really a little river demon, she killed someone, jumped into the water, and disappeared."
The villagers panicked, and the village chief was soft on the side, old tears and trembling.
Except for me, no one is worried about Lingling, Jiuyang Dao Elder is dead, they don't even care about the corpse, I understand, the villagers are frightened, and they just want to get out of this ghost place quickly.
I can't believe that it was Lingling who killed the Jiuyang Daoist, but just now I did see that it was Lingling who killed people, dressed in red, there is absolutely nothing wrong, it is Lingling.
The first two times, he dragged me down to the river, and the spirit I saw in the bottom of the river was white, which was different from the spirit of the spirit's clothes, but this time, the clothes were exactly the same.
I heard a villager say, just now I saw me and Lingling being beaten by the river demon and falling into the water, in the chaos, the river demon appeared again and knocked down the Jiuyang Daoist on the boat, and then, Lingling came out of the river, as if he could fly, and pounced on the body of the Jiuyang Daoist and killed the Jiuyang Daoist.
Everyone was very nervous, talking about tonight's events, everyone's voices were trembling, and the appearance of the river demon had already caused the villagers to fall into despair.
The village chief spoke at this time, "This time, the Jiuyang Daoist priest sacrificed the river demon, in fact, the purpose was not to burn the spirit spirit, but to use the spirit spirit to lure the river demon out, deal with the river demon, burn the spirit spirit, just acting......"
"The Taoist chief said, Lingling is a human, not a demon at all, a demon has a demonic spirit, and a human being has no demonic energy......"
Everyone's faces were filled with consternation.
Acting, it turned out to be acting, everyone was stunned, I should have thought of it earlier, the Taoist chief is Director Zhang's person, but everything that happened at night was too sudden, and the Taoist gave an order, and the villagers did not hesitate to burn the spirit.
"Why? Why not tell us in advance? ”
"Yes, village chief, why didn't you tell everyone in advance about such a big matter? You and the Nine Yang Dao Elders have hidden it from all of us. ”
"If you tell Ling Ling in advance, then Ling Ling won't kill Jiuyang Dao Master at all, right?"
The village chief sighed, "I told you in advance, I was afraid that you would be a goof, and the Taoist chief said that he must not tell anyone, so that he can lure the river demon out." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Since the Dao Leader said that Lingling is not a river demon, why did he burn Lingling and the river demon appear?" What are these grounds? ”
The village chief said, "The Taoist chief said, Lingling is not a demon, but all the people who died are inextricably linked with Lingling, so many people have died over the years, all of them are Lingling at the scene, or they fall into the water with Lingling, only Lingling comes down, according to these, it can be inferred that the river demon does not want to kill Lingling, but only wants to kill other people." ”
"So, if we kill the spirit spirit, the river demon will appear to protect the spirit spirit, sure enough, the Dao Chief's inference is very correct, but it's a pity ......"
"Lingling...... Ling Ling mistakenly thought that the Dao Elder was really going to burn him to death, and killed the Dao Chief......"
Was it really just manslaughter?
Jiuyang Daoist arranged so much, he was a very powerful person, but in the end, he died in the river.
People are not as good as heaven, and the only gain is that the river demon really appeared, and everyone saw it.
After the boat docked, many villagers surrounded the port, and everyone was discussing something around Fang Shenpo, and when they saw our boat docking, they all surrounded us.
The village chief told everyone the ins and outs of everything, and when the villagers confirmed that there was a real river demon, everyone's face was full of fear.
"Self-inflicted!" Fang Shenpo said: "Jiuyang Dao Chang is dead, it's his own fault!" ”
"If this method worked, I would have used it a long time ago, and would I have waited twelve years? As a last resort, the last step is to burn the spirit, you actually deceived the river demon, this is playing with fire and self-immolation! ”
Hearing Mrs. Fang's words, I was a little angry, "Mrs. Fang, the Dao Chiefs of Jiuyang are all dead, and you are still here to fall into the well!" ”
"The head of the Jiuyang Dao came all the way to Shangnan Village for the safety of the whole village, and sacrificed his life for everyone, and you are still here to say that the head of the Jiuyang Dao is not!"
"Are you going too far!"
Mrs. Fang stared at me coldly, "Isn't what I said wrong?" I'm just telling the truth, I said twelve years ago that there are demons in the river, and some people just don't believe it, saying that they have never seen a demon. ”
"Tonight, everyone saw it, right? Are you satisfied? ”
"When the river demon is furious, it will reveal its true body!"
"I'm afraid that our village will be in trouble in the future!"
Mrs. Fang's words were harsh, scolding the villagers, and the villagers were even more panicked when they heard Mrs. Fang's words.
"Goddess ......" The village chief knelt in front of the goddess Fang, "It's our fault, it's all me, it's all blame that I hurt the Jiuyang Daoist, it's all blame that I didn't listen to your arrangement......"
"Please, please call the shots, save everyone, save the whole village."
Soon, the villagers knelt in front of the goddess one by one, each looking sincere, begging for the goddess.
"Goddess, save our village."
"Goddess, please, you must save everyone......"
I was the only one on the scene who didn't kneel.
From the beginning, I hated the goddess of the house a little, I never believed in gods and ghosts, and I saw the real demon tonight, but I always had some doubts in my heart.
"I can answer your begging for me, but don't ask outsiders for help in the future." ”
"Starting tomorrow, everyone will go all out to find the spirit, first find the spirit, live to see people, dead to see corpses!"
"Let's disperse!"
I helped the village chief to leave, the village chief is old, after tonight's events, he has been frightened and does not possess his body, muttering to himself along the way, muttering about the river demon.
I was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, calling Lingling, Lingling's phone couldn't get through, where did Lingling go?
I called my dad, who hadn't slept yet, had been waiting for my call, and I had a detailed report on everything.
After listening to this, my father said in a solemn tone, "It seems that our father and son saw that white snake last time, and it was really a river demon." ”
I reminisced carefully and said: "The last time we saw seven or eight meters long, this time, just a tail is seven or eight meters long, much larger than the last time we saw it, I can be sure that the two white snakes are not the same one." ”
My dad was very surprised and said, "Two? How can there be two? Could it be a demon that can be ever-changing? ”
Ever changing? My dad's explanation seems to be quite reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong, why did the river demon make such a big noise tonight and show his true body, why didn't he kill anyone?
"Did you really see with your own eyes that it was the spirit that killed someone?" My dad seemed a little skeptical.
"Yes." I said: "Many villagers have seen that it was Lingling who killed people, and after killing the Jiuyang Dao Chief, he dived into the water and disappeared. ”
My dad said, "Director Zhang said, Jiuyang Daoist is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, has practiced martial arts for 20 years, is well-known in the Longhu Mountain area, and the Taoism is extremely powerful, Lingling, a seventeen-year-old girl, how could she kill Jiuyang Daochang?" ”
