When Xi'er came back from outside, she happened to be carrying water by the well, and the clear and cold well water was brought up by the bucket. The big man on the side patted his chest and said that the well has been around for more than a hundred years, and it was grooved out when his great-grandfather was there. The water is sweet and delicious, and it is a good well. Many years ago, there was a drought in the town, and the river outside the town was thirsty, and there was no way to fetch water from other wells, but this well still had enough water. The water became the lifesaver of the town.

Dalang scooped up the well water with a scoop of water, drank the water in one sip, and drove away the heat on his body. Shui Sheng scooped up a bowl of water to his nose and asked gently, took a sip and poured it out, saying, "This water can't be drunk." Poisonous. ”

The word poison startled Da Lang, and he looked at Shui Sheng with frightened eyes, hoping for an explanation.

Cuilan said: "Childe is really joking, we use this well water for cooking and washing vegetables, and there is no problem." It's you who care. ”

Shui Sheng shook his head and said, "That's not the case, can Da Lang help do something?"

"Childe has something to do, just tell me. ”

Shui Sheng smiled: "It's not a big deal, you go to the river outside the town to fetch a bucket of water, I want to check if the river water is also poisonous." ”

Da Lang, who was walking out with a bucket, happened to bump into Xi'er who entered the door, and exclaimed: "The girl is really good." ”

Xi'er said slightly: "You have won the prize." ”

"How's Xi'er going?" asked Shui Sheng as he took out a pill from his bosom and poured it into the well water.

Xi'er shook her head and said, "Sir, I found the cave behind the altar, the cave is covered in mist, and there is no scene ten steps away from the mist. I don't dare to use demon magic to find out the situation. However, a strange phenomenon was discovered, the mist echoed the town, and if you looked down from the air, it formed a huge yin and yang array. ”

"Oh!" said the slightly surprised water life Xi'er drew the image she saw. The map centered on the town and the altar is presented in the eyes of the water, which is a huge gossip map, with mountains and rivers facing each other, and the wind and thunder are fierce. The altar was a place where the yin qi was extremely deep and the corpse was raised. Shui Sheng pointed to the small river channel outside the town on the map: "Did the river flow through the altar?"

Xi'er nodded solemnly.

"It's no wonder. There is no need for Da Lang to fetch the river water back, it is certain that the river water has been polluted by corpse poison. The dose of corpse poison is very weak and does not affect the normal life of a person. It would take a very clever method of poisoning to keep the dose at a level that does not affect the movement of the living, but also makes the townspeople feel uncomfortable and eventually die a normal death after leaving. Shui Sheng folded the map and put it in his arms, quietly waiting for Da Lang to come back with water.

Just a cup of tea, Da Lang came back from outside, carrying a bucket of clear river water in his hand. "Childe, the water you asked for was brought back to you. Da Lang said with a bucket of water.

Shui Sheng smiled: "Don't worry, Da Lang, you call your sister-in-law out, but don't alarm the old woman." I have a few things to say to you privately. ”

Seeing that Shui Sheng was solemn, Xi'er closed the door, as if it didn't seem to be heard by people outside the door. called her daughter-in-law, Cuilan, who was serving her mother-in-law.

The husband and wife came to the front of the water with trepidation. Shui Sheng is telling Xi'er about things. “...... Got it?" Shui Sheng ordered.

"Yes, Xi'er understands. Xi'er saw Zhou Dalang and his wife coming over, bowed slightly, and went back to the room.

"Da Lang, I heard that your daughter-in-law said that she has a son who is fostered in Cuilan's mother's house, right?" asked Shui Sheng.

Da Lang said: "What the son said is right, just because I am going to be sacrificed, I am afraid that there will be no one at home to take care of my daughter-in-law, so I took him home to my parents' house." ”

Shui Sheng said: "I don't know how far away the town is?"

"It's the town of Begonia, fifty miles away. ”

"What?!" Shui Sheng exclaimed, "Have you been away from home for three days?"

"Yes, yes. Da Lang said: "Today is exactly three days. ”

Shui Sheng was shocked: "Da Lang quickly went to Haitang Town to bring his son home, if it is too late, I am afraid that your son's life will not be guaranteed." ”

"Don't laugh at the child, my son was still alive when he brought it over. How could something happen. Cuilan said with some displeasure.

Shui Sheng shook his head and said: "Your town has long been infected by corpse poison, but this corpse poison will not explode when it is hidden in the body, and it relies on the demonic energy in the air to neutralize the poisonous gas in the body." If you leave the town, there is no demonic energy, and the corpse poison is suppressed, I am afraid that you will have to worry about your life. Listen to me and bring my son home quickly. If it is delayed, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed, and even if the gods descend to earth at that time, it will not help. ”

Cuilan didn't care whether it was true or false when she heard this, and pulled Da Lang in a panic and said, "Da Lang, go with me to pick up my son back." ”

Seeing that the sun was in the west, she couldn't stop Cuilan from going to her parents' house. didn't have time to ask her mother-in-law for this trip, so the two of them rushed to Haitang Town with a fan.

Yuehua was born, and Zhou, who had been sleeping for a long time, woke up from the door, shouted a few times and Cuilan didn't see anyone answer. I had to get up on my own. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Shui Sheng walk in with a meal and said, "Old woman, I'll send you food." ”

"Wu Gongzi, have you ever seen my son and daughter-in-law?" asked Zhou.

Shui Sheng said: "You always have some food first, Da Lang and Cuilan will go to pick up your grandson from their mother's house." ”

"That's right. After listening to Shui Sheng's words, Zhou relieved himself and said: "The Zhou family is a single seedling for three generations, and I have a son under my knees, but I didn't hurt him in vain, and I am filial to me." A few days ago, I heard the news that he was going to be sacrificed, it was like five thunderbolts, and I was afraid that my grandson would be frightened, so Cuilan took my grandson back to her parents' house. ”

Shui Sheng said considerately: "Aiko's heart, I can understand your feelings." Come on, eat the dishes I made to suit your appetite. ”

Eating aquatic raw and cooking food, even though it is green vegetables and radishes, it is also delicious. Zhou, who ate a bowl of rice, wiped his lips and said, "I can't see Son's Si Wenwen." It is also very good at cooking. ”

"You're always laughing. ”

Shui Sheng was just about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks when he was stopped by Zhou and said, "How dare you bother my son to do such a crude thing, let me, an old woman, do it." ”

couldn't resist Zhou's stubbornness, just waiting to tie his hands to the side. Zhou, who had packed up the dishes and chopsticks, walked in with a bowl of fragrant lotus seed soup and said, "Son, come on, this is the lotus seed soup made by the old woman." Tomorrow I will go to the sacrifice on my son's behalf, and my heart is not good. It's the same life, and I can't bear it. ”

Shui Sheng smiled: "Tomorrow I will also go to die, and the one who dies may also be the so-called god in your mouth." He took the lotus seed soup and tasted it lightly and said, "It's really a good soup." It's a pity that you can't drink the lotus seed soup you boiled. ”

"You live in my house forever. As he spoke, Zhou was already yawning. Shui Sheng got up and said, "I won't disturb your rest." ”

"I make you smile, I just woke up and went to sleep when I got old. Zhou said apologetically.

"Well, well. Shui Sheng got up and took his leave. When I came to the house, I saw the moonlight hazy, as if bringing a layer of tulle to the moon to give people a hazy beauty.

The strong man outside the door had his eyes wide open, staring at the Zhou family's every move vigorously. I'm afraid something will go wrong. As soon as Shui Sheng pushed open the door, he was stopped by the big man and said, "The town elder has ordered, you must not take half a step out of the Zhou family." Otherwise, it's considered that you want to escape. Seeing that he couldn't go out, he had to return to the room and lay on the bed boredly and thought: "Now this Xi'er should be in the mountain behind the altar, and the fog has spread to the town." There should be a clear place inside the altar. It is the right time to spy on the inside, and there is no fog that does not dissipate. Just look at the right timing. I hope Xi'er has a lot of gains this time. ”

The haze of the night in the town was caused by the fog behind the altar. The night is mysterious and daunting. The night can cover up countless ugliness, and the night can also cover the ugliest side of human nature, so people with a conscience love the night.

Shortly after dawn the next day, the door of Zhou's house was brutally slammed open. Shui Sheng was sitting on the table in the courtyard with a fragrant tea, and the slight fragrance was particularly fragrant in the early morning. A dozen stout men guarded the gate, and the mayor of the town was surrounded by people like stars and moons. Seeing the aquatic life, I tasted the fragrance of this high-quality tea contentedly. Anger rose from his heart: "After today, I see that you still have such leisure and leisure. ”

Shui Sheng said: "Can you be lighter, the old lady in the back room is still resting, so it is not good to disturb his old man." This is an understatement, but there is a special momentum of not being angry and arrogant. Wild men who have never seen the world naturally dare not disobey the meaning of the water. The hands and feet have become much gentler.

The rope was taken from the hand of the mayor, and there was a peculiar aura on the rope, which seemed to be something only in the fairy world, and there were three runes on the rope, which were twisted with gold thread. I was helped my body only to realize that this rope was a life-binding immortal rope in the heavenly realm. This bundle of immortal ropes is extremely powerful, and it can bind all the creatures of the three worlds of immortals, gods, people, ghosts, demons, and demons. It can also be regarded as a treasure that resounded through the Three Realms. Feel the binding force coming from the rope Shui Sheng is a little disdainful, it turns out that it seems to be a fairy rope, but it turns out to be just an impostor. I'm afraid that this pseudo-bundle fairy rope is less than one-ten-thousandth of the genuine one.

This rope binds ghosts and people, but it can't bind immortals and gods. The tightly tied aquatic creatures were pushed in front of the mayor.

The mayor said proudly, "You know how good I am." Ha ha. ”

Shui Sheng smiled: "I still don't know the surname of the town elder?"

The mayor sneered: "A person who is about to die, it doesn't hurt to tell you, my surname is Gao Mingchao." ”

Shui Sheng almost didn't laugh when he heard this name, so he pretended to be calm and said: "It turned out that it was Mayor Gao Chaogao, who was really disrespectful." For the sake of me, a powerless scholar, is it a little to raise me? ”

Gao Chao leaned into Shui Sheng's ear and whispered: "Don't pretend to be calm, what is going to eat you next is a monster who kills people without blinking, and the treasure it gave me last night made me powerless to fight back." You know, it's amazing. The voice grew louder and louder, and finally Gao Chao seemed to have lost his mind and laughed wildly.

Shui Sheng wanted to say: "If you want a person to perish, you must first make him crazy, which is really a good point." He looked at the laughing mayor with pity and said, "I already knew that thing was a goblin, shouldn't I go to the altar, don't be angry with you at that time." ”

Gao Chao said in surprise: "You're not afraid of death?"

Shui Sheng looked at Gao Chao like an idiot and said, "Death, of course I'm afraid." But the youkai you rely on are no threat to me, and I'm afraid to do so, but your position is in jeopardy. If I come back alive, where will you be?"

"You!" Gao Chao, who was squeezed and had nothing to say, snorted coldly: "Take it away, and this will be a sacrifice to the gods." ”

On the way to the altar, it is indispensable to see the lively townspeople, and I heard that someone went to sacrifice on behalf of the Zhou family, but only listened to his name, but did not see his person. Today is a sight. provoked some girls who were just starting to fall in love and pointed at them, and they had never seen such a beautiful teenager. Many people sighed.
