In this way, I and Fei Barge together, Xiaoxiao and Meng Changqing together, our soldiers divided into two roads, each went its own way, in order to be able to contact, each prepared a communication tool before.

We went east, Meng Changqing and they went southeast.

After walking for a while, I asked Fei Fei, "Why don't you meet with Yang Yun?" ”

Fei retorted: "If we meet, he won't struggle." ”

I was a little speechless, and I only got: "Two wonderful! ”

Fei Fei was immune to my remarks, and didn't pay much attention to them, but just said, "What do you need to do to travel?" I haven't been there. ”

I haven't traveled either, but since all cultivators have to travel, it must have its meaning, and thinking about it is nothing more than increasing knowledge and appreciating the various states of the world in order to perfect one's own path. Craftsman Zhuangba.

I told Fei Barge about this, and now Fei Barge is also a cultivator. Meng Weiye left her behind, but now she has become Meng Weiye's apprentice. The world is impermanent, and Meng Weiye didn't even think of this.

In the first few days of the trip, all I saw in front of me was the sunrise in the countryside and the day in and out, everything was in order, and I felt that this was calm in front of me, and I felt that it was boring to see this scenery for several days in a row.

On the third day, when I passed through a dilapidated mountain village with a hat, we saw a middle-aged woman washing clothes by a pond, and next to her, a little girl of about eight years old was playing in the water.

The woman kept telling the little girl, "Don't stand by the water, I won't catch you if you fall down for a while." ”

I stood and looked at it twice, feeling a little bored, so I said to it, "How about we make a bet?" ”

"Huh?"

"I bet it won't take five minutes, and the woman will offer us to come to her house to rest." I say.

Fei Fei shook his head: "She doesn't know us, why did she take the initiative to invite us." ”

"What if I lose?" I asked. Just as she agreed to bet with me.

Fei replied: "Boring! ”

I smiled: "I won, in the future, in front of outsiders, you have to call me senior brother." ”

Fei Fei gave me a playful look: "I'm going to win?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I'll call you Auntie." ”

"Call me Senior Sister." Fei said again.

I nodded and said yes, and then I looked at the pond quietly with her, and after about three minutes, I said, "More than half of the time has passed, and she hasn't even seen us, so call me Senior Sister." ”

"Don't worry." I say.

After waiting for about 30 seconds, the little girl who was playing in the water on the side called a slip and fell directly into the water, the water in this pond is relatively deep, and the woman does not understand the nature of water, so she hurriedly threw the sheet in her hand into the middle of the pond: "Yanyan, grab the sheet." ”

The little girl who was called Glamorous was about to stretch out her hand, when she suddenly sank vertically into the water like a stone.

I looked at the barge: "You lost." ”

After speaking, he stepped on Gangbu and jumped into the water, and before sinking, he silently recited the Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra in his heart, dispelled the black shadow that had dragged the little girl into the water just now, and carried the little girl to the shore.

Because of the special treatment, the woman was able to see me and thanked me.

I smiled and patted the little girl choking on the water in her lungs, and the little girl coughed.

Rural people are poor and poor, as long as they are okay at the time, and they don't need to go to the hospital, seeing that the little girl is relieved, the woman even wants to scold her for being disobedient.

But when he saw me here, he didn't scold her, but said, "You are not from our village." ”

I said, "We're here to play, passing through here." ”

Then the woman said, "It is getting dark, and there is such a village nearby, so don't walk at night, but go to my house for a meal, rest for the night, and go out tomorrow." ”

This was heard by the flyer who had just rushed over, and I turned my head and glanced at the flyer playfully.

Fei Fei said helplessly: "I heard it, senior brother!" ”

can make a woman like her as cold as ice call her brother, and she has a great sense of accomplishment.

After returning to the house, she let us sit for a while, and she changed the little girl's clothes before coming out, and said: "The man went out to earn money, and I was alone in the house with the doll, and I couldn't manage so many things, and the four empty walls in the house were embarrassed to say." ”

We said yes, and she went into the house to cook, and I called the little girl over, lifted her trousers, and saw a clear black handprint at her ankle.

Fei Fei was well-informed, and immediately saw what was going on, and said, "The mark left by the water ghost, I'm afraid I will come to find this little girl tonight." How don't you get rid of it under the pond. ”

I said: "The water ghost is generally eighty centimeters tall, but today this one is one meter eight high, the water is very soft, and it has a strong obstruction effect on the Tao, and I can't even beat you now, so it's okay to scare the water ghost, and I don't dare to do it lightly." ”

Fei Fu was dissatisfied and said: "You know that even I can't beat me, and you still want me to call you senior brother?" ”

I explained to her: "My master once said that when you go out to travel, you generally can't reveal your name or faction, because when you travel, you will meet many people and things, and you will inevitably have grudges and grudges, and leaving hidden dangers will lead to disaster. ”

Flying refuge oh, no longer pursue this matter.

The symbolic two bites at dinner were nothing more than a trick to make them think we had eaten.

After dinner we talked for a while, and then we pretended to go into the house and went to sleep, and when they were asleep, we got up and kept watch.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, I saw a black shadow crawling over like a dog next to the thatched house, and the water ghost generally can't go ashore, this water ghost has become a climate, not only can go ashore, but even the size is much bigger than the average water ghost.

"One person is not its opponent, the two of us join forces."

Fei Fei said: "How do I feel that something is wrong, it sees us, not even slow, even faster, it shows that it is not afraid of us at all." ”

I also felt a little strange, deliberately revealing the Dao cultivation at the peak of my mountain dwelling, and after the water ghost felt it, his speed became even faster.

I was startled and hurriedly said, "Senior sister, enter the house!" ”

The first time I called her that, she didn't react for a while, and I forcibly pulled her into the house.

When I entered the house, the water ghost immediately ran to the door, but stopped in front of the threshold, and I looked at his face, which looked a little like a tiger, but it was a human body, but it was not like a human walking upright, and could only crawl.

"It doesn't seem to dare to come in." I say.

After that, we stood at close proximity to him for a while, and the water ghost kept staring at us, but never entered the house, and this stalemate lasted for more than an hour before it turned and crawled away.

I breathed a sigh of relief with Fei Jie, this water ghost is really powerful, the yin qi is very heavy, I have a self-aware name, and teaming up is not its opponent.

I didn't expect the first ghost I encountered during my trip to be so powerful.

After the water ghost left, the woman came out with a flashlight, lowered her voice and said, "Oh, you two don't sleep at night, why don't you get up, don't you see anything?" ”

Apparently the woman knew something, so she told the truth, and told her about the little girl who had been dragged into the water by the water spirit, and who had made a mark.

When the women heard that the two of us were ghost catchers, there was some adoration on their faces; When she heard that her daughter had been marked, her face changed to fear. finally said: "The water tiger wants to eat Yanyan, I'm afraid I won't be able to save her." ”

"Water Tiger?"

"We know that thing in our village, it looks a bit like a tiger, we call it the water tiger, it was in the village when I was a child, it used to eat livestock, but now it has started to eat people." The woman said, "Yanyan has been looked down upon by it, and I'm afraid I can't save it." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can help remove the mark made by the water tiger and lead it out of the village." ”

The woman pouted and said, "What do you do?" ”

"Turn the mark on me, and the water tiger will always chase me, and it will stop harming the people and livestock in the village."

As soon as I said it, the woman quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, we used to spend money to hire a lot of ghost catchers, and every time they were eaten by the water tiger, they look much older than you, and their ability must be older than you, you are still young, and if you don't get it, you will be eaten by the water tiger." ”

I didn't think anything of it, and asked, "Why didn't the water tiger come in when he came to the door?" ”

When the woman heard this, she said, "You ask this, I was not born at that time, and I heard from the people here after I got married." Said that a few years before the commune, the water tiger came to the village, and killed a lot of people in the village, and then a young man came to the village, about twenty years old, he said that he wanted to help solve the water tiger, so he borrowed a room at night, and waited for the water tiger with the door open, and when the water tiger entered the house at night, I don't know what method he used, and directly gave the water tiger a layer of skin. The next day, the water tiger came again, and he peeled another layer of skin for the water tiger, and he made it for half a month, and the water tiger never dared to cross the threshold again, nor did he dare to eat people again. I just don't know why it's eating people again. ”

"That young man is so powerful, why don't you kill the water tiger?" I asked.

The woman shook her head and said, "I don't know, I have to ask the old man in the village to find out." ”
