"It's said that it's in the lower part of Wangjia Village, it's not good to knock on the door and ask someone so late, let's take a look here first."

"Okay."

Wu Nuxia found a path that led to the river.

It rained last night, but fortunately the weather has been warm recently, and one day the sun has sunshine, and the path has been dried out, and it is a light grayish white in the moonlight, and the rest of the place is black, if there are puddles or breaks, it is also black, and it is not easy to go astray.

Walking to the river by the moonlight, the river was quiet.

"How does a woman want to catch ghosts?"

"This water ghost has been rampant lately, and if anyone makes a noise by the river, whether it is bathing or laundry, it is fine during the day, but if it is night, it will surely visit." Wu Nuxia said, "It just so happened that I had a hand with someone today, I was sweating a little, and I haven't taken a bath yet, so I'll go down and seduce it." If it's a monster in the ordinary water, I'll slaughter it with a knife, if it's a ghost, hehe, I'm coming back today, just asked the butcher in Xicheng to borrow a slaughtering knife, slaughtering dozens of pigs and sheep every day, I heard that it is more useful to cut ghosts, see if it can be done. Anyway, I'll try it first, and if it doesn't work, you can go again. ”

"The woman is prepared."

"That's it!"

Song You looked at the woman by the moonlight.

Seeing that she had spread her hair and pulled out a long knife, she didn't seem to have much fear of this water ghost.

It doesn't seem like there is much thought of him making a move.

Song You found it very interesting.

It's just a little water ghost, you can fail to bewitch people, you can break free if you grab people's feet and necks, and you don't have much to do. As said before, she could have come on her own. Even if the other party is a ghost that is difficult for the Jianghu martial artists to deal with, with her ability, it is difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close, even if she can't exorcise ghosts, she will not be harmed by ghosts. And if it is an ordinary monster, as long as the knife can cut in, even if it takes advantage of the river, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the knife in her hand.

She could take the twenty taels of silver for herself.

Thinking about it, she thought that it was the same for the ghost hunting in Peach Blossom Mountain before, and then the wild goose returned to the mountain to get rid of the demon, Song You could take her with or without it, and she calculated the account in her heart, so she also called Song You this time. If it is a monster, it is equivalent to taking him for a trip, giving him ten taels of silver for nothing, and if it is a ghost, it will add a layer of insurance.

Song You smiled, didn't shirk, and asked:

"Can a woman be water-sexual?"

"When I was a child, I didn't go down the river."

"I heard that the capture came several times without any gain, and the officers and soldiers couldn't shoot it with arrows, most of them were ghosts, even if the woman brought a slaughtering knife, she had to be careful."

"Let's see."

Wu Nuxia had already jumped into the river.

After all, the moonlight is not as good as the daytime, and the figure can be seen clearly in the near distance, and when she walks farther, she can't see clearly, she can only see a dark mess, but her movements break the calm of the water, ripples in the moonlight, and silver light.

"Is the water deep?"

"It's not deep, it's chest."

"That's fine."

Song You simply sat down on the shore and waited quietly.

Sanhua Niangniang is gone again.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Nuxia's voice came from the river, and it was very low:

"I feel it."

Song You sat still and looked down.

There was only a cloud of yin qi under the water, and there was no trace of it.

As expected, it's an underwater ghost.

"It's coming!"

As soon as Wu Nuxia's voice fell, it seemed that something under her pulled her, and the person was already unstable in the water, and when she lost her balance, the whole person fell into the river.

It was not easy to regain his shape.

Then he drew his knife and cut the water.

"Whoa!"

Splashing on the surface of the water.

As far as the blade came, the river was easily cut, and it was obvious that something was scratching at his feet, but the knife cut through, but it did not cut anything obvious.

"It's a ghost."

Wu Nuxia spoke.

The long knife was thrown back to shore, and the butcher knife was drawn from his waist.

The Hundred Butcher Knife does have the effect of restraining yin and evil, in essence, it has ended too many living beings, stained with blood and evil qi, and the yin qi has also condensed in it, thus gradually becoming extraordinary. Among them, the knife that kills people is the best, and if the person killed is a master of the Tao or a martial arts master, or even a goblin and a ghost, it will be even better.

It's just that such knives are hard to find.

There are few people killed, and it is not of much use.

The slaughtering knife kills not people, but wins by quantity, slaughtering dozens of pigs and sheep every day, accumulating years and months, it also has the effect of restraining yin and evil, it is difficult to hurt the big ghost, and it is easy to kill the small ghost.

However, the butcher knife was too short, less than a foot long.

At this time, it was in the water again, and the water ghost grabbed Wu Nuxia's feet and neck and dragged it deeply, Wu Nuxia had to stabilize his body on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to use this short knife to hurt it, which was really not easy.

Song You was not in a hurry, picked up the bamboo cane beside him, and threw it into the water:

"The woman takes the cane and strikes it with the cane."

Wu Nuxia didn't look at it, she slashed with a knife in her right hand, only stretched her left hand back, and then caught the bamboo cane steadily, and then slammed the cane down.

"Poof!"

It was obvious that I had poked something.

Wu Nuxia exerted a lot of force.

According to the feedback from her hand, with her years of experience in fighting rivers and lakes, she felt as if she had stabbed a bamboo cane into the body of that thing.

"Poof! Crash! ”

The lake below suddenly seemed to boil, and tumbled violently, as if something unseen was struggling, causing the water to splash and gurgle and bubble up.

Strange, the bamboo cane has neither a blade nor a point, and even after many years of crutches, the bottom has been smoothed, how can it be easily poked in?

Could it be that the water ghost is made of tofu?

Or did it poke it somewhere?

Wu Nuxia didn't have time to use her imagination, she felt that she was going to run, and she gritted her teeth and used her strength again.

The splash in the river was even stronger, and it seemed as if the thing was struggling desperately, and occasionally a few shrill screams could be heard, until there was a slight relief in the hand, and it felt like it had been pierced.

"Bang!"

The water was like an explosion, and it was like a giant thing exhaling, and a large bubble appeared out of thin air and floated to the surface of the water.

The blisters exploded, and there was a fishy smell inside.

Wu Nuxia took out the bamboo cane, her expression was stunned, she glanced left and right, not at ease, and stabbed a few more times in the river, but she couldn't poke anything, and when the splash stopped, there was no movement in the river.

Wu Nuxia frowned slightly, and slowly swam to the shore, feeling that the water ghost might be dead, but she couldn't believe it.

"Ran away?"

"Dead." The Taoist who sat on the shore whispered, "The woman is full of divine power, and she is just a little ghost, how can she withstand the killing of the woman." ”

"This ......"

Wu Nuxia's eyes widened and she raised the bamboo cane in her hand:

"This is your magic weapon?"

"This is the bamboo cane that I took when I left Anqing County, and I walked with Jiaoguan." Song You replied honestly, "But then it followed for a long time, and gradually got the aura, although it is not suitable for demon extermination, it is suitable to take and fight some ghost ghosts, but it also depends on who uses it, and it has to be a woman." ”

"Stained with aura?"

Wu Nuxia blinked.

An ordinary bamboo cane, used for walking, just because it has been used for a long time and is stained with aura, it can fight ghosts, and it is so easy? This kind of thing, she had only heard in fairy stories.

I knew that this person was powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Before she could think about it, there was a movement in the forest.

"Who?"

Wu Nuxia hurriedly turned her head to look over.

A cat came out of the woods in the moonlight, with a bamboo rat in its mouth, walked up to them, put it down, and licked its mouth.

"Eat Rabbit ......"

"Thank you, Sanhua Niang."

Song You glanced down, then took the bamboo cane handed by the woman, looked at the woman who was soaking wet, and whispered: "The woman is all wet, won't she catch a cold?" ”

"It's warm, I'm in good health, and I'm out of the way."

"Now ......"

"I can't go back to the city, but there is a thatched shop next to the official road in front, so you can spend the night there tonight." Wu Nuxia said while twisting the water in her clothes.

"Okay." Song You said, "This time it was all up to the heroine to work hard, I didn't go into the water or catch ghosts, I only borrowed a bamboo cane, and the clothes on my body were still dry, and I really deserved ten taels of silver." ”

", it's all up to your bamboo cane."

"It's just a little more convenient for the woman."

"Less, let's go......"

Wu Nuxia wrung out the water on her clothes and brought a long knife, while the Taoist pestle held a bamboo cane, not forgetting to mention the bamboo rat on the ground, and the two and a cat left here by moonlight.

On the way, we talked about the tigers in the city.

……

The next afternoon.

Song You packed up the bamboo rats caught by Sanhua Niangniang and ate them, and they tasted very good.

I don't know if she doesn't know the bamboo rat, or she doesn't want to call such a big mouse a mouse, or she is afraid that Song You won't eat the mouse she caught, she keeps saying that it's a rabbit.

Ordinary rats Song You naturally don't eat them, and they don't eat much, but bamboo rats are different. The bamboo rat itself is as big as a rabbit, neither carries bacteria, nor has much psychological resistance, even in this year, it is also a common food for people in some areas, and it is really eaten as a rabbit. Even in the previous dynasty, bamboo rats were also regarded as a noble delicacy, and the imperial court issued a clear rule that only nobles could eat bamboo rats.

The main thing is that its meat is delicious.

"Taoist priest."

"Huh?"

"Do we run out of money again?"

"I thought Sanhua couldn't hear us when we were eating."

"I can hear you." The little girl changed back to the appearance of a three-flowered cat, with a serious face, "It's just that I don't have time to speak." ”

"And a few more."

"Is it much?"

"Not much."

Fiscal backdrop is indeed about to bottom out again.

The mountain monster who returned to the mountain first gave fifteen taels of silver, but most of it was used for the meal in Yunchun Tower. Although Peach Blossom Mountain went first, but the bounty was paid later, and the female ghosts also gave fifteen taels, but the minimum consumption of listening to the Wanjiang girl play the piano once in Hexian Tower was just so much, and there was not much left.

But Sanhua Niangniang also earned a lot.

It's hard to say that it was the money of the Sanhua Niangniang who bought the mirror ceramics yesterday, or the money of the Sanhua Niangniang who used the room expenses during this time, but it is almost the same, and it has been used a lot anyway.

"Sanhua Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it." Song You said to Sanhua Cat, "It's no problem for us to use our money for another month or two, and at the latest by the end of this month, the bounty of the monster hunting list will come down, ten taels of silver, enough for us to use it in Changjing for a few more months." ”

"yes!"

Sanhua Cat said a word and continued to play.

At this moment, a figure came in from the door, casually put the long knife in his hand on the table, and then found a stool to sit down, breathed a long sigh of relief, and did not speak.

The three-flowered cat plucked the ball with its paws, but looked up at her suspiciously.

The woman frowned, as if she was a little unhappy.

The Taoist also saw a little bit and asked:

"Woman, what's wrong?"

"It's fine."

"Is it going well today?"

"It didn't go well! Almost me off! ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

The Taoist put on a very interested look.

"When I went to hand in the list, I met another charlatan. At that time, I was unveiled at the West City Gate, and he unveiled the list at the East City Gate. We went to Wangjia Village last night, I guess he also went, but in the end the water ghost fell into our hands, he was a little unwilling, today I went to hand in the list, and he also went to hand in the list. Wu Nuxia narrowed her eyes, "I said that the water ghost was removed by us, and he also said that he was removed, I think he looked like he had just come to Changjing, and he was short of money, and he wanted to cut off a beard from us." ”

After saying that, she grinned: "Hey, interesting! ”

"That's ......"

Song You also found it interesting.

At that time, he went to Peach Blossom Mountain, and the ghost disappeared, and he thought that this kind of problem might occur.

It's okay that it's the mountain spirits and mountain monsters who are making trouble, and it's good to take the lead and receive the reward, if it's a ghost, unless there is a special tool for catching ghosts and pretending to be ghosts, as soon as they are killed, their souls will be scattered, and it will be difficult to leave a certificate.

Without credentials, there will inevitably be disputes.

There are always accidents and people in the world.

Instead, you can ask the official to accompany you, so that you can avoid disputes. It's just that sometimes it's not convenient to bring an official errand, and some folk masters don't rely on magic to catch demons and eliminate ghosts, but their own local methods, once they are seen, there is a risk of being learned, and they are not happy.

"Who do you trust more?"

"I believe in us more, we are all the third time, but that person performed a little trick on the spot, now it's hard to say who the county official trusts more, anyway, it's not sure."

"So what to do?"

"It's okay! Don't worry about it! Wu Nuxia waved her hand, "The official in the yamen asked us to go tomorrow to interrogate and say, I will deal with it then, anyway, I must not be robbed by others!" ”

"I wonder what the woman is going to do?"

"That man is a little crazy, when he came out of the county government today, I said that if he was short of money, I could let him give him a tael of silver, which was considered to be a friend, but he was too little, and said that he wanted at least half." Wu Nuxia couldn't help but laugh as she spoke, "Hey, anyway, no matter if you can get a result tomorrow, no matter how the official master decides, it will take at least a few days to get the money." That person is a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and if he wants to unveil the list to make money, he naturally wants to go out of the city, so he will be anxious, and when he goes out of the city, he will go to him and talk to him, and it will be slaughtered with a knife if it doesn't make sense. ”

“……”

Song You thought for a moment.

In fact, for him, this kind of simple monster hunting list, he was unwilling to compete with the folk gentlemen and people in Changjing, but it is one thing to be reluctant to go, but now that he has gone, someone has come up and wants to rob them of their merits and bounties, which is another matter.

After thinking about it, he said: "Outside the Changjing City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is probably a risk for a woman to use force to commit murder." ”

"I have experience, not much risk!"

"I know the truth of the rivers and lakes, but the methods of the rivers and lakes are good, and the heroine is also good at this, but it also depends on what is going on. It is not only a matter of exorcism and ghost hunting, but also a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes it may be easier to practice the methods of people in the Xuanmen. ”

"What can you do?"

"I'll go to the county office tomorrow, I'll go with the woman, just talk to him."

"What do you say?"

"Try it."

“……”

Wu Nuxia hesitated before agreeing.

I don't want to ask him to do it, but it's a good thing if there is a simpler and less troublesome way.

It's up to him to see what he does.
