I didn't want to say that I knew a fart, but my eyes were staring at the waterhole, and I was thinking back to the underwater scene just now, and I heard Liu Sanshou say, "It's the water (hui)." ”

I looked at Liu Sanshou in surprise and said How do you know, or are you here for this thing?

Liu San shook his head with his hand, pointed at the small adobe and said, "Shaodong, let's take a look at what is in here first?" ”

I shook off the water stains on my body, and walked over to the adobe in confusion, which was so low that I could only see what was inside, and it was actually a clay sculpture.

The clay sculpture was so rough that it could barely be seen to be a naked woman, holding a clay baby in her arms, and in front of her was a piece of charred clay, which should have been made of long-term worship in the earthen temple, and nothing else.

I gritted my teeth and didn't understand which god this clay woman was, I had never seen it, but when I thought of the woman under the water, I suddenly began to feel cold air behind her, and a bold speculation appeared in my mind, turned my head to look at Liu Sanshou, and said incredulously: "It can't be her in the water, right?" ”

Liu Sanshou said no, and asked me what I saw under the water, I had recovered from the panic at that time, so I recounted the process, Liu Sanshou muttered, "That's right, the water fly has robbed the incense of Nuwa Temple, and it is about to turn into a Jiao." ”

Jiao?

And this earth temple is Nuwa Temple?

I am no stranger to the Nuwa Temple, and there are many places in the Central Plains and the Yellow River Valley that worship the goddess Nuwa.

Legend has it that the stone of the god of heaven is picked up by the Yellow River, and after refining, the sky is made to control the flood, and the black dragon that makes waves in the Yellow River is cut to protect the peace of the earth, and then catches the 10,000-year-old giant turtle in the river and cuts off its four legs, which is used to support the sky and form the four directions of heaven and earth.

Every year on the 18th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, it is the birthday of the great god Nuwa, and at that time, my grandfather will take me to the market to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

But when I heard him say this, I suddenly felt that the thing in the water was a little similar, but it was less dignified than Nuwa, and a little more cold and weird.

"The water fly is transformed by a poisonous snake, five hundred years into a dragon, a thousand years into a dragon, just a water pool prison dragon, it is here even if it cultivates for five hundred years into a Jiao, it is only a submersible, losing the qualification to turn into a dragon, and this Yujia Temple has been here to worship the great god of Nuwa, Nuwa is the head of the snake body, the god of the half snake, the water dragon hides in the Nuwa Temple all the year round to seize that point of worship, can be cultivated against the sky into a Jiao, just wait for the river into the sea, you can turn into a dragon."

"Then how did she change into a woman?" I asked.

"Although the water is not enlightened, it is a full lower spirit, plus its cultivation is not complete, it will not easily show its original form, it can confuse people's minds, it has been with the statue of Nuwa all year round, so what you see is an illusion."

I saw what Liu Sanshou said, and sneered: "It seems that you have been prepared, so why don't you go into the water to pen the sheep yourself?" ”

Liu Sanshou's old face turned red, and he smiled: "The old man can do anything, but he can't swim, and he has studied for a long time, and he has not drunk much water, but he can't learn it." ”

I stared at Liu Sanshou without saying a word, I always felt that his words were half true and false, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything else, the sky has gradually darkened, and the most important thing at the moment is to catch the dog spirit and spend tonight.

Liu Sanshou sensed my thoughts, beckoned to me and walked into a dense forest next to me.

The mountain was originally very refreshing, but as soon as I entered the forest, the air immediately became stuffy, as if there was a fishy smell, the air was very turbid, and the smoke hurt a little, I covered my nose and looked at Liu Sanshou suspiciously, he glanced at me, and then the cat was behind a big tree, and gently "shh

I followed in confusion, looked ahead, and saw that five or six meters away in front, there seemed to be a black shadow shaking, vaguely unable to see clearly, I stretched my head forward to see a little more clearly, but was dragged back by Liu San's hand.

"The dog spirit is trapped, and it will be available in another 5 hours."

Liu Sanshou said and pulled me back to the same place, I found that he didn't know what was on his hands, black and mushy, exuding the previous fishy shame, all stained on my clothes, I twisted my eyebrows and asked what the hell this is, my head was confused.

Liu San glanced at his own hand and smiled, this is tiger dung.

Tiger dung?

"You can get this too?"

Liu Sanshou pursed his lips, "There is something I can't get, the tigers in the zoo pull so much every day, what am I doing, and the things under the sky, brine and tofu, one thing and one thing, that dog spirit, don't look weird, but as soon as you smell the smell of tiger dung, you don't dare to move, the whole body is paralyzed, and when the time comes, it will show its original form, and then we will do whatever we want." ”

The thought of having to suffer this kind of torture after the death of the dog spirit made me feel a little selfish, even a little cruel.

Liu Sanshou disagreed, and glanced at me: "Let me tell you, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, and shrimp eat thin mud, this is the way." What is the Tao? Going with the flow is the way. I can't say that it's cruel or not, it's cruel, and I haven't seen you usually eat less pork, so you still shake off your cheeks and make it hard. Don't be like a girl, you can eat meat when others kill pigs, and you will shed tears when you kill pigs yourself, and they are useless. ”

I thought what he said made sense, nodded, looked at the waterhole and asked, what next?

"The two wild sheep were all encircled, and they waited for the evening to lead the sheep."

From the time when Liu Sanshou circled the dog spirit, it should be more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and the time when the unjust soul of Sanchawan appeared was after twelve o'clock, and the time was considered in time, the two of us were on the edge of the waterhole, Liu Sanshou explained to me some things to pay attention to at night, until about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, Liu Sanshou said to me: "I want to wronged you Shaodong, take off your clothes." ”

Without saying a word, I stripped myself naked, Liu San took out a glass bottle from the deerskin bag, handed it to me, and said, "This is willow sap mixed with egg whites, and you can spread it evenly on your body, and even mosquitoes will fall on it when you step on it." ”

Hold the bottle in your hand, it is filled with transparent unknown mucus, and when you dip it in your hand, it is still sticking to the thread.

At the same time as I wiped it, he found three sticks of incense and lit them for me to hold in my hands, took me to the waterhole and squatted down, and dug a circular pit around my body with his hands, which was limited in width than the palm of my hand, but very deep, which reminded me of the circle that Sun Wukong drew for Tang Seng with a golden hoop stick in Journey to the West.

After all this was done, Liu Sanshou looked up at the stars, said that it was almost done, and plunged into the dense forest next to him, and the whole valley suddenly fell silent.

I squatted by the water with incense in my hands and bare buttocks, and said in my heart that it was fortunate that it was in this deep mountain and old forest, if it was outside, I guess I wouldn't have to be a person in the future.

Liu Sanshou just told me what to do, but he didn't say that it would appear, because he himself couldn't figure out what the body of the water fly under the water looked like, but told me not to make the same mistake in the water before, at this time, the water fly is very aggressive, and the egg white can cover my breath, but if I act rashly, I will die at that time.

At that time, the moon had risen high, reflected in the water and the moon shadow was mottled, I was staring at the full moon, and vaguely saw a very small green point of light swimming under the water, circling around the moon shadow again and again, and finally stopped in the very center of the moon in the water, and suddenly shook, making a circle of ripples, as if something was about to come out.

Immediately afterward, a strange cry came from that direction.

"Woo... Woo..."

The voice was deep and muffled, like someone wrapped in a quilt and crying, and it was deeper and clearer in the middle of the night.

Liu Sanshou asked me to go into the water to lead the sheep before, in order to let the water fly eat the thousand-year-old luminous sand, so that I could find its position in the middle of the night, I slapped the luminous sand into the woman's mouth in a panic, the green light in the water, it should be the luminous sand at work, but this cry ......

My head buzzed, and the face of the woman in the water came to mind again, and my legs began to swing unconsciously.

"Woo... Woo..."

The voice has not stopped since it appeared, and it has become louder and louder as time goes by, from muffled crying to howling and crying, I can't help it anymore, I glanced towards the dense forest, Liu Sanshou disappeared, there was no trace at all, and my heart said that this fucking squatting is still six, hurry up and run.

Just as he was about to get up, he saw that in the center of the water pattern, a small white head suddenly appeared, a bit like the head of a snake, white and shiny, with an open mouth, and a bulging cheek, calling from time to time.

Not the woman in the water?

After seeing the little white head, my heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and in this misguided effort, the white head and the whole body floated out, and by the moonlight, it turned out to be a white-headed little Wang Ba!

The dark green shell, the limbs and the head are white, floating on the water, the mouth is wide open, the head is facing the sky, the long neck is shrinking back and forth, it is actually spitting at the moon!

I was stunned at the time, don't say it's me anymore, even my grandfather must not have seen it, and he will vomit, this is about to become a sperm, right?

The little Wang Ba seemed to have discovered me, and his head was stagnant, twisting his long neck, and he looked in my direction.

I was panicking in my heart, and I saw that the four paws of the king were shaken, and they disappeared into the water.

I can't help but feel a sigh of regret in my heart, it's a pity, if this is caught and sold on the market, maybe how much it can be sold, but what about the water fly, won't it be found that we can't come out?

Just as I was thinking, I heard a sound of "hula la" from the water's edge, and following the sound, I found that the little Wang Ba had crawled out of the water, and it was coming straight to me.

The king crawled much faster than I usually saw, and I was squatting at the water's edge, and in the blink of an eye I was close to it, stretching my long neck, growing my mouth, and running fast with my four paws, like a vicious dog pounced, and looked very strange.

In this situation, if it weren't for the numbness of my legs, I would have run away a long time ago!

But when it came to my feet, it suddenly stopped moving.

I lowered my head and saw that its turtle shell was stuck in the pit dug by Liu Sanshou in advance, with its head out, and its four claws waving desperately in the air, unable to move at all.

It seems that this Liu Sanshou has already arrived.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at this white-headed little Wang Ba with great interest, and said in my heart that it was almost the same, this stretch of hand can be grasped, and it is better than nothing, so I am ready to call Liu Sanshou out.

But at this moment, the little Wang Ba was like crazy, the two little green eyes suddenly became red, opened his mouth wide and let out a strange scream, an extremely ominous premonition rose in his heart, and before I could make any reaction, I heard a sound of "Woo Slip", the Wang Ba actually drilled out of the shell and turned into a white lizard with solid white scales shining brightly!
