When Chai Lao heard me say that he would fulfill the promise he had made to him, he was very happy to ask me when I would cross the river, because when he wanted to come, as long as I was sent across the river, I would fulfill my original promise and let him get out of the river and go to reincarnation.

I thought about it, it's better to cross the river now, and then solve the trouble of reincarnation for Chai Lao, and go to the Shuifu Division of the Netherworld Mansion.

Thinking of this, I said to Chai Lao: "If you are free now, then cross the river with us now!" ”

Chai Lao immediately nodded yes, and then led us out of the courtyard and walked towards the Yellow River.

Not long after, we came to the Yellow River, and Chai Lao pointed to the front and said, "The disciple's boat is there." ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Chai Lao, sure enough, there was a small wooden boat on the side of the Yellow River, which was attached to a wooden stake on the shore with an iron chain. Walking over, this small wooden boat is no different from an ordinary ferry, the only difference is that at the bow of the ferry, a small god tower is made of wooden planks.

This small god building is not big, seven or eight inches wide, less than one foot high, the appearance is similar to the immortal building of the Northeast people who worship the immortal family, the workmanship is almost the same as the real temple, there are ridges, overflow corridors, etc., there are 4 doors in front. At the bottom of the small god building, a wooden tray was also made, on which food offerings were placed.

Seeing me looking at the small god tower on the bow of the ship, Chai Lao said to me, that is the statue of the god you carved in the previous life, and I made a fairy with a wooden plank.

With that, he got into the boat, and then reached out and took a wooden statue from the small god building, and handed it to me.

When I took the statue, I saw that the wooden statue was carved to resemble me, but this statue was an old man, and I was a young man now, otherwise outsiders would definitely think that it was carved according to my current appearance.

"The plague god stepped on the boat, and the gods and ghosts retreated! Over the years, the reason why I have been able to safely cross the passerby to the other side safely is because of your idol in the bow of the boat, which makes those ghosts and evil spirits dare not make trouble! It's better that I'm helping the people cross the river, but it's better that you're keeping the peace of this side. Chai Lao pointed to the wooden statue and said.

The old Liu Tou and Xiao Xu who were traveling with me were also very curious about the wooden statue, took it and looked at it, then looked at me again, and then exclaimed, "Mr. Chen, this is ...... Originally, I didn't believe the so-called past and present lives that you talked about, but now I have to believe it, it turns out that you are really a plague god. ”

I smiled wryly, what's so good about the plague god, I wish I was just a mortal.

At this time, I was about to complain to Lao Liu, but when I was about to open my mouth, I saw his sudden sadness, so I asked him what was wrong?

Old Liu Tou sighed and said, "If all this you said is true, then wouldn't my nephew have to be a water ghost for the rest of his life and not be reincarnated?" ”

As soon as I heard this, I reacted, and I felt that this old Liu Tou remembered his nephew Xiao Liu again. This is also true, if Xiao Liu falls into the water, he will definitely be a water ghost, and in addition to finding a replacement for the dead ghost, the water ghost is really not so easy to reincarnate. For example, the current Chai Lao is the best example, he has been a water ghost for more than 100 years.

However, this is all fate, and there must be a reason why Xiao Liu fell into the water, because everyone's life and death are predestined in the morning, and the reason why Xiao Liu will be a water ghost in this life is also the cause and effect planted in his previous life! Since everything is cause and effect, what can I do?

Seeing that I sighed and didn't speak, Lao Liu knelt in front of me with a snap, startled me, hurriedly helped him up, and asked me what was wrong, how could I afford to bow down to you.

Old Liu Tou didn't want to get up, he said: "You are a god in the heavens, if you can save Chai Lao, you will definitely be able to save my nephew, I beg you to have mercy to save my nephew, he died so pitiful, woo......"

Seeing the sadness of Lao Liu's crying, I don't know how to comfort him, as the old saying goes, there is more than enough heart and not enough strength, although I want to help Xiao Liu who falls into the water, but everything in this world has a fixed number, Xiao Liu has his own reasons for being a ghost in the water, there are thousands of ghosts in this world, who can I help? Just talking about this Chai Lao, I don't know how to fulfill the promise I made in my previous life, if the Shui Fu Division refuses to help, I really have to be Chai Lao's substitute for the dead.

Now that I myself have crossed the river as a mud bodhisattva, I can't protect myself, how can I have the heart to help another water ghost?

I sighed and said to Lao Liu: "Lao Liutou, it's not that I don't want to help Xiao Liu, but I can't help." This water ghost is destined to be unable to be reincarnated, how can I make him jump out of the rules of heaven? You'd better get up, it's really powerless down there. ”

When Lao Liu heard me say this, he cried even more sadly, he recognized that I could save his nephew, and thought that I deliberately did not help him, so he said to me: "Mr. Chen, I know that you are not an ordinary person, you are superb, as long as you are willing to help my nephew, I will definitely repay you." ”

At this time, Xiao Xu on the side also helped me and begged, saying, "Mr. Chen, for the sake of your acquaintance with Xiao Liu, please help him." If you can find a way to reincarnate Chai Lao, you will definitely be able to save Xiao Liu, so you can be kind! ”

Hearing the begging of Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu, I had to smile bitterly and sigh. I don't know how to explain it to them, could it be that I told them that the way I let Chai Lao be reincarnated is to be his substitute ghost?

sighed, and finally I had to shake my head helplessly and refused: "Xiao Liu's death must be the cause planted in the previous life, everything is karma, don't embarrass me anymore, and don't embarrass yourself anymore." Because you can't be blamed for Xiao Liu's death, everything is destined by God. ”

Where would Lao Liu Tou believe what I said, he said: "This is impossible, Xiao Liu has always been honest and has never done evil things, why would God let him be a water ghost, don't good people deserve to be rewarded?" Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, you died so miserably, come out quickly, let me take you home, woo......"

Old Liu Tou cried like this, crying while shouting Xiao Liu's name......

What I didn't expect was that Lao Liu's shout really called Xiao Liu's soul.

Here's the thing, just when Lao Liu was crying and shouting Xiao Liu's name, I suddenly felt the yin wind blowing on the river, and I secretly screamed at the moment, knowing that there was a yin spirit invading my body, I hurriedly opened the eye of the sky, and then I looked at it and found that the person who came was Xiao Liu who fell into the water the day before and disappeared.

Of course, this time it was only Xiao Liu's ghost. His face was pale, his whole body was drenched, his hair was sticking to his head, and he was constantly dripping with water, which looked a little scary.

This relative shouted the soul, and he could have called the dead lonely soul back, but he didn't expect Lao Liu to cry this time, and really called Xiao Liu back.

Of course, Lao Liu didn't know that Xiao Liu was coming, and he was still crying and shouting Xiao Liu's name there.

Seeing this, I asked Lao Liu: "Do you want to see Xiao Liu?" If you really saw him, would you be willing? ”

Old Liu Tou slowly looked up at me and said, "Sir, can you help me call him up?" If you can let me meet him, I will thank you. ”

I sighed, since I can't agree to help him save Xiao Liu, then I'll meet his request!

Thinking of this, I pointed a few meters away from him and said, "Xiao Liu is there." ”

"What?" At this time, Lao Liu Tou and Xiao Xu were both startled, and they looked at the place I was pointing at, but they couldn't see anything. So he asked me where there was Xiao Liu and why I couldn't see it.

I didn't speak, I spit on the palm of my hand, and then smeared saliva on the eyes of both of them. Although it looked a little disgusting, the two of them didn't resist, and when they were done, I said, "Now you can take a look." ”

The two of them looked at me again in disbelief, and then their faces changed, and Xiao Xu was so frightened that he screamed behind me, shouting that there was a ghost. Although Lao Liu Tou was also shocked at first, he quickly stabilized his mind, and then cried out with a wow, asking Xiao Liu what was wrong and why was this so?

Xiao Liu saw Lao Liu Tou beckoning to him, so he slowly floated over on the surface of the river, standing a few meters in front of Lao Liu Tou and standing like this, without speaking.

Lao Liu said: "Xiao Liu, come home with me, I'll take you home......"

As soon as Xiao Liu heard Lao Liu Tou calling him home, he finally spoke, he shook his head and said, "Uncle, I can't go back." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Liu Tou cried again, and said My little Liu, come here, come home with me, don't stay here anymore, go home with my uncle.

However, no matter how Lao Liu called him, Xiao Liu couldn't get by, so he could only stay in the Yellow River, as if he was trapped.

At this moment, Chai Lao on the side stared at Xiao Liu deadly, and then suddenly shouted: "It turned out to be you!"
