Chapter 10: Surrender the Water Ghost
Zhou Chu saw that he was lying on a fishing boat, at this time the wind stopped raining, the sun could not be seen in the sky, only the clouds were floating, Baishui Lake was calm and waveless, the fishing boat did not move at all and stopped in the middle of the lake, the two white-clothed "immortals" were sitting on the wooden box on the fishing boat and were talking, and when they saw him wake up, both of them were happy.
Zhou Chu walked around the ghost gate, but fortunately he was rescued by these two people in time, and he took another Immortal Sect third-level elixir Xuemei Soul Returning Pill to pick up his life. At this time, his face was pale, he had no strength in his body, his shirt was torn by the water ghost, and he was naked, and the blood-red scars on his chest and neck that were scratched by the water ghost were faintly painful.
Thinking that he was lying naked and lying in embarrassment like this, Zhou Chuchu felt very ashamed, and tried to sit up but failed, and there was a sharp pain all over his body, especially the place on his ankle that was caught by the water ghost was even more painful, as if he had broken a bone, and the slightest movement made him break out in a cold sweat.
However, Zhou Nian thought about it again, judging from the clothes and bearing of the two of them, that kind of radiant and chic attitude was absolutely extraordinary, so he decided that they must be immortals, and since they were immortals, they naturally would not laugh at the embarrassment of the world.
In fact, these two young Taoists have not yet cultivated to the highest immortals, both of them are Taoist level cultivators, and they both belong to the Qingxuan Dao sect, so both of them are wearing gray-white Taoist robes, Qingxuandao's Taoist robes are sewn with soft gray-white gauze, the texture is light, and the edges of the Taoist robes are edged with ink-black gauze, so the gray-white Taoist robes are faintly visible in the silky ink black, like ink paintings, adding a lot of elegance as if there is a fairy lingering......
The young female Taoist is Lin Yuwei, the youngest junior sister in the Qingxuan Dao Immortal Sect, seventeen or eighteen years old, with smart and beautiful eyebrows, clear and beautiful bones, and very dignified, she has just reached the third layer of the Taoist level, and has not yet been able to break through to the fourth layer.
With her is her sixth senior brother Baili Mufeng, who is two or three years older than Lin Yuwei, with fair skin and delicate face, quite the demeanor of a rich young master, and his cultivation has just reached the fifth layer of the Taoist master. It's all because he has a gentle personality, acts casually, doesn't like to chase fame and fortune, and usually spends most of his time cultivating pills and other things.
"Now that the little junior sister has spoken, I will let it out today, a second-level pill plus a third-grade pill is enough for me to work for half a month......" Baili Mufeng said as he took out a splendid and gorgeous bag from his waist, and took out another pearl-sized pill with a white light from the bag and handed it to Lin Yuwei.
Lin Yuwei took the pill, thanked him for Zhou Chu with a smile on her face, then leaned down and said softly to Zhou Chu: "This Baicao Morning Pill is the most nourishing vitality, you will soon recover the vitality in your body if you eat it, today fortunately it is with the sixth senior brother, and only he will carry such a complete set of pills with him." β
Zhou Chu saw Lin Yuwei's smile like a spring breeze, her eyes were full of concern and pity, and she smelled the intoxicating fragrance of gardenia wafting from her body, and her heart was moved and ashamed, her nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. Seeing this, Lin Yuwei took out a white handkerchief of her own, and did not dislike Zhou Chu's face full of mud and gently wiped his tears for him, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we will protect you, and we will send you home in a while." β
Zhou Chu nodded, and wanted to say thank you to them, but he couldn't say anything, so he simply closed it and let the tears roll down.
Lin Yuwei did not persuade Zhou Chu, and waited silently on the side until he held back his tears, and then sent the Baicao Chendan to Zhou Chu's mouth, and suddenly thought of something, and quickly used her fingernails to gently cut down a small piece of Baicao Chendan, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it aside, and then gently pushed the most of the Baicao Chendan into Zhou Chu's mouth and slid it into his mouth.
Baicao Chendan is a kind of second-level pill unique to Qingxuandao, the character is mild and beneficial to the tonic, all humane people can take it, it is a mixture of more than a dozen kinds of fairy grass seedlings on the shore of Qinghu Lake in the mountain behind Qingxuandao, and then used the lake water of the day of the Qinghu rainwater season to refine it in the furnace for 7749 days, compared to those precious third-level and fourth-grade pills, it is not complicated, it is a kind of pill that the disciples of Qingxuandao always have for self-cultivation and nourishment.
After Baicao Chendan entered Zhou Chu's mouth, it immediately melted into a warm and sweet juice like sugar, and slowly flowed into his stomach, Zhou Chu suddenly felt as if there was a heat wave spreading from his stomach, and soon passed to the whole body, like summer, the whole body became hot, Zhou Chu couldn't help but shiver, and spit out a few breaths in his mouth, this gas is also hot, the heat wave is getting hotter and hotter, and Zhou Chu feels that his whole body is burning like a fire.
This kind of immortal pill is naturally unbearable on a mortal, Lin Yuwei moved Zhou Chu to sit up, then sat cross-legged behind him, closed his eyes and exercised, stretched out his right hand and gestured a semicircle and patted it on Zhou Chu's back to gently exercise his pranayama to help him breathe, and guided the department that Zhou Chu could not bear to himself, after a while, the scorching heat wave in Zhou Chu's body gradually subsided, and he only felt as if Meimei had just woken up from a long sleep, refreshed, Zhou Chu moved his arms and neck, and the pain and fatigue just now were all gone, and even the scratches on his chest and neck were all healed, but only the wounds on his ankles were burningγ
Lin Yuwei was relieved to see that Zhou Chu had improved, and said with a smile: "It seems that it should be fine, your ankle was caught too hard by the water ghost and it was a bit troublesome, but don't be afraid." β
Lin Yuwei said as she took out the handkerchief that helped Zhou Chu wipe her tears just now, gently crushed the piece of Baicao Chendan wrapped in the handkerchief into fine powder with her fingers, and then gently sprinkled it on the wound on Zhou Chu's ankle, and then used the handkerchief to tie it up, she was afraid of hurting Zhou Chu's wound, so she moved as gently and slowly as possible, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was done, and said to Zhou Chu: "You get up and try, you should be able to stand and walk in front of you, and you can heal in two or three hours." β
Baili Mufeng stepped forward and stood up with Zhou Chu, Zhou Chu tried it and really felt better, Lin Yuwei finally showed a bright smile on her face when she saw this.
"Little junior sister, you are the most naughty and willful on weekdays, and you order us to help you do that all day long, why are you so careful and gentle today" Baili Mufeng pretended to be jealous and sighed at Lin Yuwei.
Lin Yuwei didn't answer his words, she made a grimace at Baili Mufeng, and said with a smile: "Sixth Senior Brother, the effect of the pill demon medicine you refined is really good, he was just pulled back by the ghost gate, I was afraid that one pill of Baicao Chen Pill would not be enough, I didn't expect it to overflow so much, it is amazing, no wonder the master said that your ability to refine pills is the first, it seems that I really have time to study and learn alchemy with you......"
"As long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you at any time, but I am afraid that when you go back to the mountain, you will pester the fourth senior brother all day long and ask him to call you those fancy spells such as Qimen Dunjia......" Baili Mufeng said with a hint of vinegar, and suddenly thought that Zhou Chu was still on the side, and was a little embarrassed, so he quickly stopped talking, turned to Zhou Chu and asked, "Little brother, what is your name, is it a child in this village?"
"My name is Zhou ...... Beginning...... It is the ...... of the water village facing the north "Although he has recovered his vitality, Zhou Chu is nervous and shy, and his voice is very weak.
Zhou Chu's personality is introverted, he has been in this village since he was a child, he hasn't even been to the town a few times, he hasn't seen much of the world, and he doesn't dare to talk to these two "immortals" for a while, but he is not a person who doesn't know how to be a person, and he remembers the truth that his grandfather taught him to be a man, he understands that he should solemnly say thank you to the two of them at this time, but his mouth shook a few times, and the word thank you still couldn't be spit out.
"It's okay, it's okay, why did you run into the lake alone, don't run around anymore in the future, it's very dangerous. Lin Yuwei said softly.
Lin Yuwei saw Zhou Chu's embarrassment, so she got up and forcibly took off Baili Mufeng's coat, and then draped it on Zhou Chu with her own hands.
Baili Mufeng had no objection, and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, do you think of your brother to care so much about him." β
"I only remembered when you said that, if my brother didn't have a ...... back then Hey, it's time to be so old......" Lin Yuwei thought of her sad past, and her face suddenly became sad.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter, I made you sad, I should have beaten ......" Baili Mufeng saw that the little junior sister was sad, and her heart was remorse and anxious, and her face was flushed.
"Hmph, I'm not that fragile......" Lin Yuwei restrained her sadness and laughed.
Zhou Chu saw Lin Yuwei grieving for her brother, and thought in his heart how good it would be if he could have such a sister.
"I came to find my grandfather's ......" Zhou Chu thought of his grandfather again, and his heart became anxious and quickly wanted to beg them to help him find his grandfather, but he didn't know how to speak, and his face was red for a while.
Lin Yuwei saw that Zhou Chu was anxious, so she took the initiative to ask: "Zhou Chu, you don't have to worry, we are not bad people, if you have anything to say, we will help you." β
Zhou Chu's mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to explain it clearly, and he was afraid that he would delay the time, so he hurriedly said: "There are several people in our village who have been ...... by the water ghosts in this lake Water God...... Killed ...... My grandfather was the head of the village, and he didn't want to offend the god of water...... But the villagers disagreed, and everyone pooled money to invite a Taoist to come to the lake to subdue demons...... Today, the Taoist chief came, and the grandfather drank a lot of wine with the Taoist chief, and the Taoist drank too much wine and slept in the ancestral hall...... I don't know why, grandpa and Taoist are gone...... I thought to myself that the two of them must have come to the lake to subdue demons, so I ran here but couldn't find my grandfather...... I'm worried about what danger Grandpa will have......"
Zhou Chu said all the words that were holding in his mouth in one go, and he didn't know if the two of them could understand it.
"Little junior sister, did you hear, it turns out that these Taoist priests under the mountain are going to collect cash, haha......" Baili Mufeng couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhou Chu's words.
Lin Yuwei glanced at him and said, "Speaking of business, you are messing around again, sixth senior brother, no wonder the master teacher taught you to be more steady......"
Baili Mufeng saw that the little junior sister blamed himself so much, and he was a little aggrieved in his heart, he just wanted to make everyone happy, but he couldn't explain it.
"A Taoist priest, is he very fat with a fat head and big ears?"
"Yes, he is a very fat Taoist priest, very tall and carrying two swords, have you seen him?" Zhou Chu hurriedly asked.
"On the way here just now, we saw a well-dressed Taoist priest hurrying along the woods on the mountain forest path in the north, it should be the Taoist priest you said. β
"Then is my grandfather with him?" Zhou Chu's eyes lit up.
Lin Yuwei shook her head, and Zhou Chu saw her shaking her head, and her heart was mixed.
"Did the Taoist go back after the spell, and Grandpa also went back to the village. Zhou Chu muttered quietly to comfort himself.
"That fat Taoist priest definitely didn't do itβor he didn't do it with any effect, otherwise how could you be entangled by the water ghost just now?" Baili Mufeng's words and expression showed disdain for that fat Taoist priest.
"Then my grandfather ......," Zhou Chu muttered.
"Oh, I remembered, no wonder we ...... when we came just now" Baili Mufeng suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth to say, Lin Yuwei quickly glanced at him fiercely to make him stop talking, and then handed over a look, Baili Mufeng looked at the little junior sister and immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "It must be that fat Taoist who ran away, but you don't have to worry, although he ran away with the silver, but I and the little junior sister came, we came here to subdue those water ghosts, and we don't want the silver ......"
Speaking of this, Baili Mufeng knew that he was speechless, and he was afraid that the little junior sister would blame him, so he stopped talking, and held his breath in his mouth to show that he did not speak, Lin Yuwei couldn't help but be amused by him when she saw him like this.
Zhou Chuxin didn't care about subduing the water ghost, he just wanted to know what happened to his grandfather, and when he saw the two of them talking, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Did something happen to my grandfather?" Zhou Chu's words were sad, and his expression became sad.
"We only saw the fat Taoist priest leaving alone just now, and we didn't see your grandfather, so we can't judge how your grandfather is now, maybe he has already gone back to the village, it's better to wait for us to send you back to the village after we subdue the water ghost, and you'll know when you go back." β
Zhou Chu nodded helplessly, very worried.
"Yes, after working for so long, it's time to do something serious, my hands are itching. Baili Mufeng got up and moved his muscles and bones, preparing to subdue the demon.
"Sixth Senior Brother, be careful, there are many water ghosts in this water, I will study like you today. Lin Yuwei took Zhou Chu's hand and sat on the board box together.
Baili Mufeng already wanted to show his hand in front of the little junior sister, and responded with a smile: "I can't even deal with this kind of little ghost, so I can just go home and farm in the future." β
"Don't talk too much, just subdue them first. Lin Yuwei put her fingers on her face with a shy expression, and joked at him, don't talk big about it first.
Baili Mufeng stopped talking and walked to the bow of the boat, took out a small black pill from the bag on his waist, threw it into the water in front of the bow, and then began to stand still and close his eyes luck, although the words in his mouth just now were not impressed with these water ghosts, but at this time he was very focused, with a serious and serious look, and the handsome boy who was playing around just now was like two people.
Baili Mufeng focused on luck, and after a moment, a faint white light began to shine between his hands.
Zhou Chu felt very surprised, and suddenly felt that the board under his feet began to tremble rapidly, and then even the entire fishing boat began to shake violently, Lin Yuwei gently exercised, her feet suddenly lifted and fell, the shaking of the fishing boat was much smoother, Baili Mufeng smiled and looked at Lin Yuwei to express her gratitude.
The entire whitewater lake is crystal clear and looks like a glass in the sunlight.
For a while, it became calm, Zhou Chu was puzzled, and suddenly saw a large area of pitch-black under the water surface rushing towards the fishing boat they were on, and after a while, the entire lake surface became jet-black like a stinky ditch, and those jet-black things under the water surface were surging rapidly around the fishing boat, which was very terrifying, and it could be clearly felt that there were many water ghosts under the board of the boat who were trying to knock the fishing boat over, but Lin Yuwei used his feet to suppress it, they couldn't get out, Zhou Chu had never seen such a battle, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and reached out and grabbed Lin Yuwei's arm, Lin Yuwei smiled at him Don't be afraid, Zhou Chu nodded, but trembled.
"Sixth Senior Brother, your Soul Horror Pill is really powerful, it has attracted so many water ghosts at once, it seems that you have to spend a little more effort. Lin Yuwei said with a smile.
"We are here to introduce these elixirs, the more the better, I can't ask for it. β
Baili Mufeng didn't seem to expect that there would be so many water ghosts, but he didn't panic, and even had some surprise, and continued to concentrate on his luck, the white light in his hands was getting brighter and brighter, as if it had turned into a ball of light.
Suddenly, there was a swishing sound on the surface of the water, and a puddle of black turbidity jumped up from the water, and then rushed straight towards Lin Yuwei and Zhou Chu.
Zhou Chuxin thought that this must be the harmful water ghost in the lake, and he finally saw the appearance of the water ghost clearly, like a skinned monkey wrapped in a large piece of rotten cloth, two thin claws open, the beast claws are very sharp, the water ghost is all jet black, like a puddle of silt, only a pair of fierce eyes are blood red flashing......
Baili Mufeng was not afraid to stretch out his hand, and the white ball of light in his palm immediately conjured up a dagger and stabbed towards the water ghost.
The water ghost was struck by the flying sword less than a foot away from the two of them, and let out a miserable roar, and a black mass exploded into many pieces like mud and fell into the water. Zhou Chu stretched out his head to look, and the black mud floating on the water slowly turned into a clear lake and disappeared......
Then another water ghost jumped out, Baili Mufeng continued to wave, and another lightsaber stabbed over, and the water ghost also turned into a puddle of mud and fell into the water.
A few more came up one after another, and all of them were killed by the lightsabers played by Baili Mufeng.
Baili Mufeng showed a smug look on his face, and he was about to show off to Lin Yuwei, but two water ghosts suddenly jumped out behind him, ready to sneak attack, faster than the first water ghost, and pounced towards Baili Mufeng like a flying sword. Baili Mufeng was only proud and didn't find out, at the moment of danger, Lin Yuwei got up and hurriedly played two light knives, knocking down the two water ghosts on the board, because they were in a hurry, the skills were not enough, so they did not kill the two water ghosts, they fell on the board and convulsed and made a piercing sound......
The fishing boat had been suppressed by Lin Yuwei just now, but now she stood up suddenly, and the water ghosts on the surface of the water struggled to push it up, and the stern of the fishing boat was immediately pushed high, and the fishing boat lost its balance and was about to capsize......
