Chapter Seventy-Five: The Witch's Magical Powers
I only saw a face covered with fish scales, which suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
I was taken aback, at this time, my outstretched hand was immediately pulled, I pulled up hard, Li Chuntian was pulled up by me, we took a few steps back, Daoist Qiu quickly felt out a piece of yellow paper, pasted it to the well, and the well became quiet again.
After Li Chuntian came up, he said: "The old man almost couldn't come up." ”
Although Li Chuntian said this, his expression was still relatively calm. I asked Li Chuntian, "What was that just now?" ”
Li Chuntian said, isn't it the water demon that everyone is talking about.
Cao Tianshi answered, there is really a water demon, what kind of spirit is it? Li Chuntian said that if the old man was not mistaken, he should be a young dragon. In its territory, the old man is really not its opponent, if it can get it out, it should be easier to deal with.
I walked back towards the well, and Xiao Wanwan reminded me to be careful.
I said yes, I looked inside, the flashlight shone in, and the water was quiet again.
Daoist Qiu also stepped forward to take a look at it and said, "It will come out, but the time has not come." ”
I asked when the time would come? Daoist Qiu pinched his fingers and calculated, saying that it would be just in the past few days.
Daoist Qiu turned to General Tianwei and said, "You stay here and keep an eye on it, if there is anything, go to the Hefeng Hotel to find us." After these words fell, General Tianwei's face suddenly became ugly, and General Tianwei said: "Dao Chief, don't you make such a joke, you let me stay here, didn't you let me wait here to die?" ”
I said to him, "Don't you have more than a hundred years to live, where is it so easy to die?" ”
General Tianwei's face became more and more difficult to look at, and there was a grievance of suffering.
Li Chuntian smiled and said: "According to the old man's opinion, it's useless to stay here and watch, this dragon will definitely not come out in the next few days, several princes and princesses of the East China Sea Dragon Palace have come out, and it doesn't dare to touch this mold." ”
When Wang Chunlai heard someone talking for me, he was immediately grateful, and echoed Li Chuntian's words, saying that he was right.
Daoist Qiu didn't say much, and pasted a piece of yellow paper at the mouth of the well, and only now did I see a faint light on the yellow paper, but the light disappeared quickly, and after a while, it was gone.
After doing all this, we began to walk outside, and Wang Chunlai did not go out with us, but stayed in his thatched hut.
For Wang Chun, I told him not to mess around with any tricks in the future, otherwise he would be escorted to the underworld for trial at any time. Wang Chunlai also said with a smile that he promised to make meritorious contributions in the future.
When I returned to the hotel, I found that Xiao Wanwan hadn't woken up yet, so I washed up and went to sleep. When I got up the next day, I found that Ruan Xiu had not returned.
Xiao Wanwan changed into a skirt today, a bit like a student uniform, her long black hair was draped down, with good-looking facial features, making her look delicate and cute, I was stunned for a few seconds, Xiao Wanwan's tender white hand pinched the skirt, and asked me, Zhang Yan, what are you looking at?
I said to Xiao Wanwan, when did you buy this dress?
Xiao Wanwan said, I've been buying it for a long time, it's old clothes, isn't it good-looking? It's not good-looking, I'm going to change it now.
Xiao Wanwan spoke, turned around and was about to run into the room, cute look, cute, I stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Wanwan's hand, and said It looks good, you look good in whatever you wear.
Xiao Wanwan rolled my eyes and said when did you become so flamboyant.
Xiao Wanwan and I were talking, and suddenly there was a cough behind me, and when I saw that it was Daoist Qiu, Xiao Wanwan hurriedly withdrew his hand from my hand.
Daoist Qiu said, you go on, Poor Dao didn't see anything. As Daoist Qiu spoke, he walked past us, and I caught up with Daoist Qiu, and Daoist Qiu said, Daoist, where are you going? Daoist Qiu said to go down for a walk and see what to see in this town.
I said to go with Daoist Qiu and buy something for Xiao Wanwan by the way.
When I got out of the hotel, I found that there were more people on the street today, and I said to Xiao Wanwan, I will take you to buy clothes now.
Xiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed and said, I have clothes now, just enough to wear, don't waste money.
I said money can be earned.
At this moment, I heard someone shouting, "Let me go, let you all let go." ”
I pulled Xiao Wanwan and retreated to the side, and I saw someone carrying a bamboo pole chair, and an old woman sitting on it, the old woman with her hands folded, looking chattering.
The onlookers next to him said: "I heard that two days ago, there were dead people in the town, and a female baby died, and this water demon is really becoming more and more rampant." ”
When he said this, I suddenly remembered that night when we went to Artemisia Meadow, I did hear a woman screaming.
I couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, who is that old woman?" ”
The eldest brother said to me: "Now the people in the town are panicking, and the days are almost unbearable, this old woman is not an ordinary person, she is a witch invited by the town to raise money, go up to the heavens, go down to the underworld, and have great ability, this time she was invited to subdue the water demon." ”
Someone else answered: "I hope it will work out this time, the woman who tore the notice two days ago may be dead." ”
Someone sighed, let's all go over and have a look.
Everyone gathered around and chased after the goddess, and I said to Xiao Wanwan and Taoist Qiu, "Why don't we go and see it too." ”
Daoist Qiu said two words: it doesn't matter.
We followed and came to an open space in the town, where we formed a circle and watched the inscrutable witch. I also stared, looking at what I should be in my sixties and seventies, with wrinkles on my face and a little crazy.
The mayor of the town personally stepped out this time, stood beside the witch and said: "Fellow villagers, this water demon has made the people of our town miserable and uneasy in the past few years, everyone says, should we solve this problem?" ”
"Yes!" There was almost no thought, and everyone answered in unison.
The mayor said well, since everyone has this desire and determination, so this time I invited the famous witch old fairy to help us solve this problem. Now let's listen to what the witch old fairy has to do. Everyone applauded and welcomed.
Soon applause erupted.
As the witch coughed, the applause went out. It was quiet again.
The witch's eyes didn't seem to be open, and she spoke, and her voice was so old that it sounded like her teeth rubbing against sand.
She opened her mouth and said: "Thank you for your trust, the old body will definitely help you solve the problem when you come here, and now the old body wants to do this, you need your cooperation, will you support the old body?" ”
"Of course I do!"
"Needless to say, if the old fairy can help us subdue the water demon, we won't be able to thank it, so the old fairy can help you even if you say how you want us to help you."
"That's right! Old fairy, you just say. ”
Everyone scrambled to speak.
The witch then said, "Well, with your enthusiasm, solving the matter of the water demon is also determined to be successful."
The witch adjusted her tone and said, "The old body now asks you to do two things, the first thing is to rebuild the Dragon King Temple, and the second thing is to sacrifice a pair of boys and girls who are about three years old. ”
Hearing about the rebuilding of the Dragon King Temple, everyone was in an uproar, and the people here called the Dragon King the Faint Dragon King, so the construction of the Dragon King Temple should not be so smooth.
All of a sudden, everyone started talking.
Others asked, "What do you want a boy and a girl for?" ”
The mayor told everyone to stop arguing, listen to the witch first, and then discuss. The old witch said: "Dozens of people die at the hands of the water demon in our town every year, if we hand over a pair of boys and girls a year, the water demon will not make trouble, and stay in the water peacefully, and build a dragon king temple, the dragon king is back, how can he suppress the water demon." ”
The matter of sacrificing boys and girls to the water demon made everyone question loudly, saying that if this is not possible, whose children will be willing to give it away.
The scene became a little chaotic, and the mayor raised his voice and shouted, don't make any noise, we have already selected the boys and girls this time, so you don't have to worry about this.
Perhaps because they heard that they didn't want their own children, some people began to speak out in support of this method.
The old witch began to have a faint smile on her face, and I stared at the old witch for a few seconds, and then suddenly thought of something else.
