Chapter 34: The Papermaker
"What's the matter, you're soft-hearted?" Naqing snorted.
"It's a little soft-hearted." I responded with a wry smile.
"Zhou You, have you ever thought that if this resentful spirit hadn't met you today, then sooner or later she would have gone on a murderous journey and gradually lost?" Nai Qing tortured.
"I understand what you say! But Naiqing, she met me today, didn't she?" I asked rhetorically.
"And what do you want to do with her?"
"I'm wondering, is there any way to get rid of the resentment in her heart?"
"Wishful thinking!" Nai Qing sneered and said, "Unless she wants to, it's impossible!"
Whether it's wishful thinking or not, I want to try it, because I can't bear to kill her like this.
After all, this Su Ya is already so miserable, how can I do it to make her soul fly?
However, it is still necessary to wait until the whereabouts of the bronze coffin are clarified.
I asked Su Ya again, "Have you noticed anything strange near this river in the past few days?"
Su Ya thought about it, stared at her eyes and kept nodding: "Yes!" I remember that strange thing did happen on that thundercloudy night. ”
I hurriedly asked, what's weird?
Suya told me that that night, she noticed a mage casting a spell on the other side of the river, and in the middle of the night, two paper figures by the river appeared from the woods dragging a bronze coffin and stopped by the river.
I quickly asked again, "And then?"
Su Ya said that during the spell casting by the mage, she hid in the river and did not dare to show her face.
The two paper figures dragged the small coffin to the river, and the mage folded out a paper boat, which grew long in the wind and soon became a black canopy paper boat.
But as soon as the boat fell into the river, it was eroded by the yin qi, and the paper boat was pulled by the whirlpool and sank to the bottom of the river.
Later, the mage gave up the method of crossing the river with the origami spirit boat, and folded a paper bridge by the river, the paper bridge spanned both sides of the river, and the two paper figures dragged the bronze coffin across the river, and finally the mage accepted the paper man and the paper bridge, and disappeared into the night with the bronze coffin.
Paper boats, paper people, paper bridges...
I frowned, this origami mage is really a trick, the paper boat and the paper bridge were not prepared earlier, but came to the river to cast spells and fold them.
It can also be seen from this that I am afraid that this mage's Taoist cultivation is not low.
I asked Su Ya again if she remembered the mage's appearance, and Su Ya shook her head and said that she didn't remember, she didn't dare to show her face at the bottom of the river at that time, and she didn't see the person's appearance.
The clue is here, and it's broken like this!
I'm unwilling, if that mage disappears without a trace, then where will Nai Qing and I go to find the bronze coffin?
"Ask her if the paper boat is still at the bottom of the river." Naqing reminded.
I repeated Naiqing's words to the female ghost.
Su Ya nodded and said, "Yes, after the mage took away the bronze coffin, he didn't care about the paper boat at the bottom of the river."
"Can you get it out?"
"Yes!"
Su Ya turned around and dived into the river and disappeared, leaving only a layer of foam gurgling on the surface of the lake.
An hour passed, and I looked at the sky, and there was something strange.
"Aren't you afraid of being cheated by her?" Nai Qing asked me funny.
"Don't be afraid! If she dares to lie to me, then I will be guilty of killing this resentful spirit at that time. I responded with a smile.
As soon as the resentful spirit entered the water, it completely disappeared, and even the yin qi on the river surface had converged a lot.
I waited quietly and waited by the river for another ten minutes or so.
Just when I felt that I had been deceived by this evil spirit, there was a sudden movement on the surface of the river, and a bubble gushed out, and after a while, I saw a pocket paper boat emerge from the water.
This paper boat is quite spiritual, and after it surfaced, it drew an arc of ripples, and the speed was very fast, and it wanted to escape along the river.
I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, how can I let this paper boat escape.
Pinching the trick in his hand, stepping on the earth, turning himself into a corpse, and instantly trapping the agile pocket paper boat by the surging of the earth's qi.
The paper boat was still struggling when it came into my hand, slippery, and I held it in my hand, but the boat kept drilling out while taking advantage of the gap between my fingers.
I pulled out a yellow talisman from the cloth bag and pasted it on the paper boat.
Suppress its spirituality with a shattering charm to ward off evil spirits!
Sure enough, after pasting the yellow talisman, the paper boat suddenly became a dead thing, lying quietly in the palm of my hand.
I looked at this paper boat, and I faintly guessed the strength of that mage in my heart, maybe that person is much stronger than me now, and even better than Master Wang Shun, and he is a master of the origami sect!
The yin qi in the river did not stop, and Su Ya also got out of the water.
At this time, I am very close to this female ghost, and if she sneaks up now, she can definitely drag me into the water while I am caught off guard.
In the water, but this is the world of the evil spirits!
Not to mention her own resentful power, just the whirlpool that entangles people at the bottom of the river, I can deal with it enough!
I was nervous, my whole body tense as I prepared for the impending unexpected.
But Su Ya had no intention of harming me at all, she took a long breath and said to me, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Su Ya saw that my face was wrong, and asked me strangely.
She couldn't understand how relieved I was at this moment, but I did misunderstand her, and Su Ya didn't mean to hurt me at all.
I looked at Su Ya, and I really didn't know what to say.
This woman is really kind, kind and even a little silly, but this stupidity touches my heart, if it weren't for this strange river, maybe she wouldn't even turn into a ghost.
Seeing that I was hesitant, Nai Qing reminded me in his mind: "The Yin soldiers of Beicun will be on night patrol at night, why don't you ask them to send Su Ya into reincarnation?" Anyway, she is already sober, and it is reasonable for you, a disciple of the lineage, to ask the Yin soldiers to do something. ”
I acquiesced, and there really is no better way.
"I'm fine, you stay awake, I'll come back tonight to send you into reincarnation and get out of this strange river."
"Thank you, Mage..."Su Ya was stunned for a moment, and immediately thanked me after reacting.
"If I don't come, there are Yin soldiers waiting by the river, don't be afraid, they are here to see you off." I waved at her and turned away.
"Thank you..."
On the quiet surface of the lake, she bowed deeply to me.
