At this moment, a man pointed to the struggling figure in the river and shouted, but he did not have the slightest intention of saving people.

Fang Zhi ran to the stream first, and the swarthy man who had gone to the village chief's house for help also followed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"What are you doing! Hurry up and save people! ”

Fang Zhi hurriedly took off his shoes and socks on his feet, pulled up the corners of his shirt, rolled up his trousers, and was about to wade across the stream to save people, but was pulled by the man on the side.

"You ......"

Fang Zhi looked at the swarthy man on the side suspiciously, but the man just lowered his head and shed tears, but one hand pulled him to prevent him from going into the water to save people.

"Do you know what you're doing! That's your own daughter! It's not you ......"

Fang Zhi was about to speak, he looked at the other people around him, everyone had the same expression on their faces as the swarthy man, and some even showed disgust at his action of going into the water to save people.

"That's a human life, you know! That kid was only four years old! ”

No one paid attention to Fang Zhi's impulsive words, just watched coldly.

The village chief knocked on his crutches, sighed, and said:

"Immortal Master Fang, don't worry about it, we know that you did your best, don't worry, we won't lose a cent of your reward."

Fang Zhi struggled to break free from the swarthy man's shackles, but he was greeted by several other people.

At this moment, a figure swept across the stream, tapped the surface of the stream with both feet, hugged the little girl in the water, and came to several people.

put the little girl down, and Wei Zigeng was greeted not by thanks, but by countless questions and gloomy eyes.

The young man smiled coldly, pointed at the little girl with both hands, forced the water in her chest and abdomen out, and then said:

"When is the time for retribution, you have only delayed the curse once every six years, and if it is not completely resolved, in the end, all of you here will die!"

"So what? At least we escaped, didn't we? There are still six years to live, maybe it won't be me who will die next time? ”

A thin man in the crowd said timidly.

Xu Yue and Liang Qiu brothers and sisters also came to Wei Zigeng's side, and greeted everyone's unfriendly eyes with him, Liang Qiu talked to the dagger behind him, if there was any conflict, as the assassination of the head of the underworld, he would kill everyone present mercilessly.

"Escaped? In fact, you may have escaped a long time ago, but you didn't know it, and pushed yourself into the abyss again and again. ”

Fang Zhi also came to Wei Zigeng's side at this moment, and after what happened just now, Xu Yue had nothing to do with his previous behavior.

"Brother Wei, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Zigeng glanced at him, and then looked around at everyone, and his cold gaze shocked everyone's hearts and made them fearful.

"What's the explanation? Where is Liu San! Where is Liu San! ”

"Liu San?"

After listening to Wei Zigeng's name, everyone looked at a man in the crowd who looked honest and simple, and the man also stood up with a puzzled face, pointed to himself, and said:

"This immortal master, what do you call so?"

Wei Zigeng looked at him with interest, and said lightly to Xu Yue:

"Xu Yue, nail his hands to the ground! I have something to talk to this Brother Liu. ”

For Wei Zigeng, Xu Yue did not have any doubts, wiped the gourd on his waist with his hand, and said lightly in his mouth:

"Please turn around!"

Three throwing knives flew out of the treasure swallowing gourd, and before the man could react, two throwing knives pinned his two hands to the ground, and one hovered in the middle of his forehead.

Liu San wailed in pain, everyone was shocked, and they all stepped back, leaving a vacuum for a few people, and the swarthy man hugged the unconscious little girl on the ground to the side.

Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment when he saw the three Immortal Slashing Flying Knives, then came to his senses, stopped Wei Zigeng and the others from advancing, and said:

"Fang Mou has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and he can't see the depth of a few people, but what did this person do, to make a few people like this?"

Wei Zigeng patted Fang Zhi with a smile and said:

"Brother Fang, don't worry, a few of us are not that vicious, then you will know why."

Coming to Liu San, Wei Zigeng squatted down and said:

"The female ghost in the river is your wife?"

Liu San was already sweating profusely in pain at the moment, seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Yue pinched his hand, and the flying knife nailed into Liu San's palm spun a few points, and he let out a painful roar again, and then tried his best to say:

"Yes, it's my wife, but the immortal master is treating me like this because of this, isn't it a bit too much!"

Wei Zigeng stood up and said to him:

"If it were just that, I wouldn't be like this, but what if you sent this little girl here to ask for the life of the female ghost?!"

"What!"

The swarthy man walked out of the crowd with his daughter in his arms and confronted Liu San on the ground.

"Liu San, what this immortal master said is true?"

Liu San smiled bitterly and said:

"There is no evidence, what a big basin deducted by the immortal master!"

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin!"

For his defense, Wei Zigeng had already been prepared, his fingers brushed the delicate gourd on his waist, and a yellow paper talisman flew out of it, clamped it between his fingers, ignited the qi, and said nothing in his mouth.

"The heaven and earth are too clear, the sun and the moon are too bright, the four mountains and five lakes, the edict is to move forward, and I am ordered to be specially detained, and I come to the seat to obey the order!"

The ashes burned out, Wei Zigeng casually sprinkled it into the stream, and within a moment, a stream of water gradually surged up, slowly turning into a transparent figure.

"Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! ”

Liu San on the ground tried his best to break free from the Immortal Slashing Flying Knife and stand up, but how could this flying knife be something that he could break free from as an ordinary man?

Wei Zigeng didn't look at Liu San, and said to the flow of people's hearts:

"Do you just say it yourself, or will I kill your husband right now?"

"Kill me, kill me, and I'll be reunited with my wife!"

"Reunion?"

Wei Zigeng sneered again:

"She is trapped in a landscape so she needs to replace the dead ghost, so she has not dissipated until now, and you don't have such good luck if you die."

This sentence made Liu San no longer have the slightest hope, and tilted his head to the side in decadence.

The figure said slowly:

"Liu San, don't be wrong again and again, don't you still think I'm not enough?"

Liu San looked at his wife hard, and the water ghost at this moment said:

"Hurt you? Daughter-in-law, when did I hurt you, it's been six years, I'm just afraid that you won't find a stand-in, and you can't be reincarnated, so I made this decision! ”

When the swarthy man heard this, he went up and kicked Liu San in the stomach, and said viciously:

"You beast, I can't stand you at all, why do you want to harm my daughter!"

Liu San, who had eaten a kick, spit out a mouthful of blood, sneered and said:

"Yes, as far as you love your daughter the most, don't think I don't know, you knew when I took the three girls away, it's not because you have always wanted a son, but the family has given birth to four daughters in a row, and I am afraid that I will not be able to raise a son, so I will default to taking the three girls? I can comfort myself in my heart, the three girls were taken away by the water ghost, no wonder themselves? ”

The swarthy man became angry and kicked Liu San a few more times.

"You talk nonsense! I...... I've never thought like that! I also...... I didn't see you take away the three girls! ”

The matter has come to this point, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong, who is true and who is false, Wei Zigeng separated the two and said to the water ghost:

"You go on."

The water ghost continued to tell the story of what had happened.

Twelve years ago, there was a beggar who passed by Guilao Village and came to the stream to drink water, but he didn't want to be accidentally pushed down the river by Liu San, who was still a teenager at the time, and was finally used as a substitute for the dead ghost by the water ghost.

Five years later, Liu San got married, and he was very affectionate with his wife, and every time he walked over the stream, he was remembered by the beggar who was killed by him. Six years ago, Liu's third daughter-in-law was washing clothes by the stream, and was pulled into the water by the ghost who held a grudge in her heart, and became the beggar's substitute ghost, trapped in the stream all day long, unable to extricate.

In the blink of an eye, in the sixth year, seeing that no one had drowned, and seeing that six years were about to pass, he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would never be able to free himself from reincarnation, so he had to make this decision.

After listening to what the water ghost's daughter-in-law said, Liu San spit out a mouthful of blood and said with a sneer:

"Didn't Zhang Gengniu just want a son and was afraid that his children would not be able to support him? We're both good, aren't we? Farm cattle? ”

The man's eyes were a little dodgy, and when he saw his appearance, Fang Zhi also understood that everything Liu San said was true.

He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Gengniu's collar, furious.

"She's a girl, it's not her fault, and it's not a reason why you can abandon her at will! If you really don't want the third girl, please hand her over to me, and I will take her back to Qiaoyue Mountain to practice, and she will never have anything to do with you in the future! ”

Fang Zhi still remembers that when he first came to this village that day, no one treated him well, only that he was a charlatan from nowhere, this child, holding a piece of rice cake and handing it to Fang Zhi, who was so hungry that he could only drink stream water to satisfy his hunger.

Later, with some subtle Taoism, he summoned a few mountain spirits and ghosts, reached an agreement with two incense sticks, and performed a drama with him to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, which made the villagers respect him.

"Put away the knives."

Xu Yue whispered silently:

"Please swallow the treasure gourd."

When Liu San stood up, Wei Zigeng opened his mouth and said:

"In fact, your wife has long lost her intention to harm others, she is all in order to repay your debts and accumulate yin virtue for you, but you have been obsessed, do you know that if this little girl dies in this stream today, everything she has done for so many years will be wasted, not only can she not be freed, but she may even be scattered!"

Liu Sanyi grabbed Wei Zigeng, looked at his wife again, and said:

"Impossible, as long as the third girl dies, my daughter-in-law will have a stand-in, and she will be able to reincarnate, you lie!"

Liang Qiu stood up at this moment and said:

"This person was not taken away by her, so she is not her stand-in, and because your wife has not only not had any harmful intentions in the past six years, but has even used her own slight way to control the flow of water to help the villagers many times, so that the essence of Kwai water in the water is getting thicker and stronger, and she is expected to become a river woman who controls water transportation. But because of a human life, she shattered her avenue as much as possible, and her soul was scattered. ”

Hearing this, Liu San knelt on the ground and cried.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!"

The cry rang out in the night sky of Ghost Fishing Village all night and did not disperse for a long time.

At the end of the night, after a night of repairing, Wei Zigeng led the horses and continued to set off, heading towards Kuizhou, which is the junction of Jiangnan Road and Jiannan Road, and the only way to Jiannan Road.

"Brother Wei! Brother Wei! ”

Behind him, Fang Zhi's voice came, and several people turned their heads, only to see him leading a little girl and coming to several people.

"You, you really took the three girls away."

Liang Qiu squatted down, pinched the swarthy face of the three girls, took out the osmanthus cake wrapped in oiled paper from the backpack on the side of the saddle, and handed it to the three girls.

"Three girls, thank you for this beautiful sister."

The little girl, who was only four years old, timidly took the oil paper bag, then bowed and said:

"Thank you, pretty sister."

Liang Qiu painted and pinched the face of the three girls dotingly.

Fang Zhi smiled bitterly and said:

"Even if the third girl escaped yesterday, she will inevitably suffer if she stays in the village in the future, and her father even acquiesces...... Hey, although my cultivation in Qiaoyue Mountain is a little harder, no one will definitely bully her. ”

When saying goodbye to a few people, Xu Yue insisted on giving Fang Zhi broken silver as a coil on the road, but Fang Zhi refused, and in the end it was Liang Qiu who painted and said:

"You can't bear to let the third girl suffer all the way with you, and then you take him to abduct and deceive him?"

Fang Zhi only then broke the silver, and just like that, he took the three girls to Cangzhou Qiaoyue Mountain.

"Big brother, I don't want to be called the third girl anymore, you can name me again."

Fang Zhi thought as he walked, and after a while, he said with a smile:

"Well, how about calling you Zhang Chanjuan? I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

The third girl shook her head and said in a childish tone:

"Dad doesn't want me anymore, from today onwards I won't be surnamed Zhang, my surname is Fang with my eldest brother, my name is Fang Chanjuan!"

Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Okay, just call Fang Chanjuan, as long as the eldest brother lives, Chanjuan you won't be bullied in the future!"

Seeing the two backs of one big and one small gradually moving away, Wei Zigeng and the others also turned over and walked towards the other side.

"You gave Fang Zhi the invitation card from the Fulong Palace?"

The heart is as meticulous as Liangqiu's painting, and when Xu Yue handed over the broken silver to Fang Zhi, he found that Wei Zigeng had put a golden invitation engraved with Wolong into it.

"Well, it's useless for us to keep that thing on us, and it may be an opportunity in their hands."

Wei Zigeng would never have thought that his unintentional actions now would make a peerless sword immortal in the future.

In the near future, in the battle to ascend to the sky that decided the life and death of countless living beings, Fang Chanjuan will become the brightest moon in the hearts of countless monks.

When passing by the bank of the stream, Xu Yue stopped with his horse and said to the stream:

"As long as you benefit the people and don't do anything killing, although this Guiluo River can't flow into a river, it will definitely not be difficult to protect you as a river woman."

Falling Whale Mountain, in the center of the Heavenly Palace.

A huge tower towered over it, and a stream of white air slowly converged into the bead at the very top.

Inside the tower, a pitch-black limbless humanoid statue, a pair of eyes blazing, and the strange cross pupils revealed a colorful light that people dare not look at directly, and it flashed away in those eyes, and a sense of oppression shocked the heavenly palace.

An ancient voice came from the statue of the man.

"Then give you a chance, and you don't let me down."

It seems that this sentence made him lose all his power, and the statue was completely lifeless, becoming the most ordinary dead thing, and the sense of oppression was completely devoid.

At this moment, in Guiluo Creek, a stream of water gradually formed a human figure, and the facial features gradually changed from blur to clear, and it was Zhang San's wife.

"Jiang Ming is here to thank the immortal master for the edict."

Wei Zigeng and Liang Qiu's brothers and sisters looked at Xu Yue who was stunned on the side.

"You can enshrine a river woman?"

When the old village chief Deng saw this scene from afar, he immediately called his eldest son.

"Go to the town and let people burn out the pottery and gold body of the river woman overnight, and make it according to the appearance of Zhang San's daughter-in-law, and our village will be blessed by the river woman in the future!"

Although the eldest son was confused, he did not dare to disobey his father's orders, and hurriedly went to the town.

However, when Wei Zigeng thought of Xu Yue's open mouth, it seemed that everything could be explained.
