Chapter 8 Alone in the Lake

Yu Youwei didn't dare to believe if what he saw was true, so he had to follow Wei Ran back to the hotel step by step.

But she always felt very uneasy, and Wei Ran called her several times but she didn't hear it.

"A good woman?" Wei Ran raised her palm and waved it in front of Yu Youwei's eyes, and she realized that she was thinking too much about the scene just now.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I've found the location of the bones." Wei Ran was good-natured and repeated what he had just said but was ignored by Yu Youwei.

Yu Youwei still felt very flustered, she felt that she had to tell Wei Ran what she had just seen, "When you came out of the water, I saw a black shadow go into the water, it couldn't be the soul of the demon monkey, right?" ”

Wei Ran was stunned, "It's also predictable that it will follow our whereabouts, but I just added an invisibility charm, at least it can last until night." ”

"At night?"

"That's right, I need to draw a few destruction talismans, this talisman requires great spiritual power, so the Dao Master failed to refine the soul of this monster back then, after he sank the root bones at the bottom of the lake, I'm afraid ...... And so he died. ”

"You mean that what is recorded in the county records is not true?"

Wei Ran nodded, "I look at the halo around the box that leads me there, it is clearly the cultivation of the Dao Chief, he can not rest assured that he can't go down Sizhou Mountain, and he ordered someone to transport the body back to Sizhou Mountain, and the soul is also left there." He also deeply admired the compassion of his predecessors, and only by doing his best to eradicate this monster for his predecessors, so that his predecessors could be reincarnated as soon as possible, and with his life's cultivation, he could live a good life in the next life.

Yu You slightly remembered the last hearty smile of the Taoist chief, he didn't seem to feel that it was very hard to stick to it for a hundred years, and his greatest wish was still to kill demons and keep one side safe. Sure enough, once a person has faith, he becomes indestructible.

Wei Ran felt funny when he saw Yu You's slightly moved face, and he was ready to sacrifice his life for righteousness, so he waved his hand at her and concentrated on drawing the talisman.

Yu Youwei didn't bother Wei Ran, and sat quietly on his bed, recalling what happened a long time ago.

From the time she can remember, she knows that she is a child who lives in someone else's house, living in the house of two uncles in turn, and her aunt and uncle can't treat her badly, and she will have new clothes and stationery, but no one loves her. Having seen how they treated their children, she knew very well that they didn't love her.

Of course, they have no reason to love her, a stubborn child with nothing and both parents are dead, it is not very likable. But she is a child after all, and she also wants to cry in a warm embrace, so she always studies hard, does a lot of housework, and hopes to get a hug once in a while.

She has been living in school since elementary school, and once she forgot to bring a change of clothes back to her uncle's house to pick them up, and heard her aunt arguing with her uncle.

My aunt shouted hysterically, "You know better than me about her, how dare you keep her for so long?" "I can't take risks with my child, I can't sleep all night as long as she comes home and stays, she's in the fourth grade, we can pay more to send her to a private secondary school, as long as she doesn't come to our house anymore."

That was the first time she clearly knew that she was not welcomed by the few relatives in this world, and maybe even a terrible existence in their eyes. Since then she has given up her illusions and devoted all her energy to studying, and what she can't get from others, she can give herself herself.

She didn't know why she suddenly thought of this, maybe it was the persistence of the Taoist who made her feel some resonance, and at this time, whether it was for herself or for the sake of the Taoist Chief, she wanted to do something to get rid of the demon monkey.

Yu Youwei went from sitting and thinking, to being distraught and slumping to the bed, and then to waking up after sleeping for a while, Wei Ran finally drew the dashing charm.

Wei Ran's short hair seemed to have just been washed, and seeing the beads of sweat on his forehead, Yu Youwei knew that it would take so much effort to draw talismans, and he couldn't help but worry, "I still think that demon monkey is at the bottom of the lake, and you are so weak now......"

Wei Ran was obviously stunned by Yu Youwei's words, "It's not weak, it's just a little tired, just take a short rest, besides, the demon monkey still has a large part of the soul attached to Xu Bo's body, and half a wisp of remnant soul is not to be feared." ”

Although Wei Ran said this, the uneasiness in Yu Youwei's heart could not be dissipated.

The sky was getting darker, and it was time for Wei Ran to prepare to leave.

Yu Youwei was like a great enemy, she checked her backpack again, she also prepared some weapons for herself, knowing that it was useless to deal with demon monkeys, but it was better than bare-handed.

Wei Ran blusced and watched Yu Youwei put things into her backpack - a strong flashlight, a mini baseball bat, and in order to find someone for help when she couldn't beat it, she also brought a high-decibel alarm.

"Good faith in women." Wei Ran stopped Yu Youwei, who was still stuffing things into his bag, "You wait for me here, it's enough for me to go alone." ”

"What are you talking about, this matter started because of me, how could I let you go on a risk alone at the most critical time, this is not a gentleman's doing." Yu You puffed up his chest slightly, and hurriedly argued for himself.

Wei Ran took off a small ornament around his neck and handed it to Yu Youwei, "Master said, this is what I wore when he picked me up, although I can't find the source, but it can be regarded as a treasure, if a person like you who has no spiritual power wants to use it, you must use blood as a guide, it will turn into a normal-sized sword when it encounters blood, and ordinary evil spirits will be killed by you." ”

"You gave me this, what about you?" Yu You looked at the small wooden sword in her hand, the wooden sword was no more than the size of a pendant, and she even suspected that Wei Ran was fooling her in order to keep her from being too afraid.

"It's not an adventure for me." Wei Ran said lightly. This is the first time he has dealt with evil spirits alone in the true sense of the word, and he thinks he has made enough preparations, "If it is a complete spirit of the demon monkey, it may be a little tricky, but now there is really no need to worry, if you come with me, I will protect you, that is the real danger." ”

Yu Youwei wanted to continue to fight, but thinking that the old Taoist chief described Wei Ran as a "once-in-a-century Taoist wizard", and he really couldn't help much, he forcibly endured the uneasiness in his heart, and let Wei Ran put a talisman on the door again, and watched him walk out of the door.

Wei Ran walked all the way very easily, although he couldn't go to Uncle Shi's city to train with him this time, but it was worth the trip to be able to solve a hundred-year-old monster alone, and he could go back to the mountain next month, thinking of these happy things, his steps were more brisk.

As soon as he walked to the edge of Azure Lake, Wei Ran was keenly aware of a trace of demonic aura, and the calm lake was covered with purple-black mist. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, the surface of the lake is no different from usual, and only a cultivator like him can find it.

Without hesitation, he rowed a small boat alone to the center of the lake and dived.

His plan is very simple, only he can find the root bone of the demon monkey, even if the demon monkey is in the lake, as long as he moves faster, opens the wooden box and sticks the destruction charm on the root bone, the demon monkey will not be able to come back to life again, and then slowly deal with the demon monkey and beat it to the soul There are many ways.

But the underwater situation was very different from when he dived in the middle of the day.

The visibility under the water was very low, and he could only see a dozen centimeters in front of him, but when he entered the water again, Wei Ran's vision was wide.

He effortlessly found the wooden box where the bones were sealed, but before his fingers could touch the wooden box, a few strands of algae wrapped around his feet, and before he could cut them, more algae rushed in the direction of his hands.

Wei Ran took out a dagger from his diving suit, cut off the algae on his feet, and narrowly escaped.

Before he dodged the algae, there was a sharp pain in his arm, it was a snapping turtle more than a meter long, his sharp teeth bit Wei Ran's big arm, and the blood flowed out with the snapping turtle's bite, Wei Ran endured the pain, raised the dagger and poked it fiercely at the snapping turtle's eyes.

The snapping turtle's mouth did not loosen, and it was torn off with Wei Ran's flesh and skin, and a large ball of blood-colored flowers bloomed in the water, Wei Ran gritted his teeth and swam to the wooden box again.

Before Wei Ran could swim near the wooden box, the black-pressed fish rushed towards him, Wei Ran stopped in place, pinching the trick with one hand, ready to kill a way for himself when the fish approached him.

Unexpectedly, the endless school of fish burst one after another a few meters away from him, dyeing the lake blood red in an instant.

In an instant, Wei Ran's eyes were only blood-red, and he immediately understood that it was the demon monkey's soul that controlled the creatures at the bottom of the lake, but he didn't expect that half of the soul could have such great strength, and he didn't admit defeat and planned to go forward again.

The blood red in the water did not dissipate with the flow of the lake, but became more and more intense, Wei Ran silently recited a Qingming mantra, and swam in the direction of the wooden box with a faint light. It wasn't until I suddenly found that my right leg couldn't exert my strength, and I looked at it with difficulty, only to find that there were a few wounds on my leg that were more than two inches long, and the skin and flesh turned outward, and it seemed that the wound had been soaked in the lake for a while, and I focused on what was in front of me, but I didn't find it, and I didn't notice it until I lost too much blood at this time.

Wei Ran began to feel a little chilled, he knew that he had shed too much blood.

But having come here, he was unwilling to leave like this, so he simply sacrificed a dashing talisman, and in an instant, the water was clear.

Yu Youwei walked around the room, she felt that the small space could no longer accommodate her heavy breathing, as if the whole room was filled with carbon dioxide, which made her a little dizzy.

She could only keep persuading herself, wait another ten minutes, wait another ten minutes, Wei Ran will definitely be able to do it.

The sudden ringing of the mobile phone, Yu You was so frightened that she almost screamed, but when she picked up the phone, it was Liang Yuan's phone, and she hung up the phone without thinking.

After two more turns in the room, Yu Youwei suddenly remembered that he had told Liang Yuan before going out that he had come to Xu Bo's hometown for an interview, and asked him to stay in the newspaper office to sort out the information they had collected before, maybe he had made some new discoveries.

So, Yu Youwei called the phone back, "Lao Liang, what's wrong?" ”

"It's really Xiaowei, why did you hang up on me."

Yu Youwei was in no mood to tease with Liang Yuan at this time, "I still have something to do here, you can tell me quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you, I'm going to tell you, we don't have to follow Xu Bo's case anymore."
