Chapter 30: Water Ghosts

"The water ghost worships the ghost king!" Village Chief Luo said, "The river demon is most afraid of the ghost king, and only with the help of the ghost king's power can the river demon be expelled." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Such a cow!" Fat Bao said, "Is there a god who doesn't worship, who worships a ghost?" ”

"We don't know much about water ghosts, because although water ghosts have been circulating in our village for hundreds or even thousands of years, water ghosts have behaved very strangely since ancient times and rarely interact with the villagers. I've only heard a lot of things from the older generation. Water ghosts generally have no children and no daughters, they are all hereditary! The master taught the secret method of exorcism to the apprentice. ”

"Legend has it that water spirits eat water corpses from time to time, so they exude corpse qi all over their bodies. Only then can they approach the water and get it out of the water. And the water ghost also practiced a good light skill, and never had to land on the sole of his feet, so he walked and even ran close to silence, so he would not be easily followed home by the water! ”

"Who would eat a corpse? You eat, eat! Fei Bao said, "What light skills do you still practice, Jin Yong's martial arts films!" ”

"It's all legends!" Village Chief Luo said, "But every time I pass by the water ghost's house, I will smell a faint smell of corpses, and the water ghost really doesn't make any sound when he walks."

The water ghost will also keep a black dog at home and put a bronze mirror. If his black dog barks wildly or finds blood in the mirror after he returns home after doing the exorcism, it proves that the river demon is very powerful this time and has not been driven away. If you don't hurry up and do the exorcism again, the water ghost will be in danger of life. But if it still doesn't work again, you can only ask the master of the water ghost to go out of the mountain. ”

"The water ghost has to charge money for salvaging the water demon, and the price is not low. The money is usually paid by the village committee. ”

"That's why this profession has survived until now! Right! "I said, after listening to Village Chief Luo for so long, I only believe that there is a profession of water ghosts in their village, and I basically think that he is a remnant of the feudal forces, and when he talks nonsense.

"That's one of the reasons!" "Another reason is that our villagers are very superstitious about this aspect, so the profession of water ghosts has to continue to exist. ”

"Hmm!"

"There are two reasons why I will take you to meet the water ghosts now! First, he can prove what I just said, that the water brake really keeps walking in the water! He's a witness! ”

I thought to myself: That's sure, how can you sell flowers and say that flowers are ugly! No matter how ugly you are, you have to cover your conscience and say that you are beautiful!

"Second, the water ghost is not only a corpse digger, but also the guardian of our village's history! Master would pass on all the traditional legends of our village to his disciples through books and dictation, so that they would be passed down from generation to generation. So he probably knows more details about the legend of the falling dragon! ”

"That's pretty much it!" I whispered to myself, I still wondered that I had forced out Village Chief Luo's secret just now because of pretending, and later I found out that these ghostly little secrets had nothing to do with our investigation of Shu Shensuo, thinking that it would be a waste of time, but I had to continue to pretend to be this force. But now that I know that the water ghost is still a little useful, my heart is a little better.

Soon we came to a hut by the river. This is the only house by the river.

There was a large courtyard in front of the house, and the outer edge was surrounded by a wall half a meter higher than a person, and we could only look inside through the gate.

On the right side of the yard is a simple wooden shed made of wood, with some vines and plants entwined around the wooden shed, and an old Jialing brand black motorcycle is placed in the wooden shed. On the left is a large lychee tree. Other than that, the rest of the yard was full of vegetables, leaving only one road leading to the house.

Next to the lychee tree was a thin but fierce-looking black dog on a chain. As soon as we appeared, it barked incessantly. He kept pulling the chains, as if he wanted to break free from the chains and pounced. I also noticed that there was a bronze mirror hanging from the lychee tree.

The house is a two-storey old bungalow, and the walls have a lot of creepers, and the walls are blackened by different impurities because of age.

It seems that although the water ghost charges a high fee, it is not every day that there is a water brake to salvage, and the village chief Luo said that a water ghost would only appear a year or two years ago. So the water ghosts are not necessarily very rich.

As we approached the yard, we could smell a faint stench. The taste is not strong, but it does not smell very good. I frowned slightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a strong figure and a dark complexion walked out of the house. He looked at us and said in a very cold tone, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ah Hua, the money for salvaging the water demons and exorcism is now for you!" Village Chief Luo said.

The water ghost named Ah Hua waved his hand at the black dog a few times, and it stopped barking.

"I didn't bring much cash, is it okay to pay with Alipay?" Village Chief Luo said.

"Yes, I'll go into the house and get my phone!" Ah Hua said and walked into the room.

"No, it won't! Now even those who salvage corpses can pay with Alipay! Fei Bao said, "I really admire Ma Yun, its technology can be combined with traditional Chinese feudal forces!" It's remarkable!

Ke Shao, you said that if I accompanied my mother to the temple to burn incense and donate incense oil, I asked the abbot to take the Alipay account and transfer it directly to him by Alipay, do you say okay? No, it's still a bit of a waste of time. Just ask the abbot of the temple to seal the box containing the sesame oil money, and then paste an Alipay QR code on the box! ”

I patted Fat Bao on the head and said, "Your boss, you pig's head only thinks about these things." ”

Qixing smiled softly. I didn't expect to smile at Qixing, who has been very cold to us lately. I'm getting used to her coldness. She smiled like that now, and I remembered that she still had that expression.

Ah Hua came out of the house again, his phone in his hand. I've been observing him, and it's really as Village Chief Luo said, it seems that he really didn't land on the soles of his feet when he walked, but this movement was very slight, and it wasn't deliberately observed, and I couldn't find it at all. And he really didn't make much noise when he walked. My brow furrowed, and suddenly, a thought welled up in my mind.

"No, it won't!" I whispered to myself.

"It's true!" Fei Bao whispered in my ear, "I saw that Village Chief Luo lost 8888 on his phone. His boss's, it is better to grab a corpse and collect more than 8,000, it is better to rob it! ”

Obviously, I didn't say the same thing as Fei Bao. The doubts in my mind made me want to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible, but I was not sure if my inference was correct or not, so I had to wait for an opportunity.

"Who are they?" Ah Hua still asked Village Chief Luo with a cold expression.

"They're experts sent by the city to search for artifacts! They heard that there is a legend of a falling dragon in our village since ancient times, so they came to investigate whether there are any cultural relics. I brought them here to prove that the water is in a walking posture in the water, and at the same time ......," said Village Chief Luo.

I know that Village Chief Luo wants to tell the investigation of the water sha. But we didn't plan to meddle in this matter, so I stopped Village Chief Luo and said, "At the same time, we heard that you water ghosts who are professional in salvaging water demons are the guardians of the village's history, and we want to come and ask for advice." ”

Village Chief Luo looked at me with a puzzled expression, he didn't know why I didn't let him continue. At this point, I only nodded to him and did not speak.
