Volume 1 Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 191 Water Monkey
Wu Dachuan was washing his face by the river.
In Hedi Village, he was digging a pit and burying a pot to make food, and Wu Dachuan had just finished his work and rushed to Zhulang Mountain in advance with the pioneer battalion, and he didn't stop all the way.
It was only after he could rest that he remembered to find a place to wash his face.
The water is cold and refreshing.
"The rabbit should be cooked, and I'll mix it up too."
Wu Dachuan was worried about the hare he had finally hit, shook his fat face, and was about to get up.
The moonlight was thick, and the river was exceptionally cold.
Wu Dachuan suddenly realized that his reflection in the water was a little wrong.
It seems to have lost a lot of weight.
By the moonlight, Wu Dachuan squatted by the river and took a closer look.
Reflected on the surface of the water was a thin face, with a long face that was as white as a dried corpse, unkempt hair like aquatic plants, and two eyes that flashed red.
"Ahh
Wu Dachuan let out an exclamation.
No matter how sloppy he was, he could recognize that the reflection on the water was definitely not himself, at least his eyes couldn't be red.
"Water ......"
Thump!
The water splashed everywhere, and as soon as Wu Dachuan on the shore shouted a word, he was pulled into the water by a black shadow.
Not far from the fire, the exclamations were clearly visible in the night.
Yun Que and Zhou Yuanliang immediately rushed over when they heard about it.
Except for the constantly overflowing ripples on the river, there is no trace of Wu Dachuan.
"Is it a barbarian attack?" Zhou Yuanliang said.
Dare to sneak attack under the noses of him and Yun Que, how bold is the barbarian?
"Not like the barbarians." Yun Que stared at the surface of the water without blinking.
Crash!
The surface of the river more than three feet away from the shore made a splash, Wu Dachuan's head popped out, and after spitting out a mouthful of river water, he just wanted to shout, but was dragged into the river again.
This next week, Yuanliang couldn't calm down, and his heart was cold.
He didn't see anyone dragging Wu Dachuan, and from the shore, Wu Dachuan was struggling in the water by himself, as if he was drowning.
Ordinary people may drown, but practitioners rarely drown in water, because there is an aura in their bodies.
Even a low-level cultivator like Wu Dachuan, who had just refined his qi, could surface his body as long as he used his aura with all his might, and he could swim back with a dog planer when the time came.
"Not a barbarian...... There's something in the river!" Zhou Yuanliang exclaimed.
Yun Que Edgeworth arrived at the place where Wu Dachuan was fluttering, fished it out and threw it to the shore.
During the flight, Wu Dachuan spewed out a mouthful of river water and shouted, "Water monkey!"
With a plop, Wu Dachuan fell to the shore, Zhou Yuanliang stepped forward to help him up, and asked, "What water monkey?"
"Water ghosts!" Wu Dachuan was shocked.
"What!" Zhou Yuanliang was shocked.
The two of them shook their heads at the same time and looked at the river, and they were seeing a gruesome scene.
The slender black shadows stretched out of the water like tentacles, suddenly closed, and dragged Yun Que into the river.
Zhou Yuanliang and Wu Dachuan were stunned for a moment.
"Save people!"
Zhou Yuanliang was the first to react, and he was about to urge the flying sword to go into the water.
Wu Dachuan also shouted loudly.
At this time, a bubble rolled on the surface of the river, and then a wave of air rushed into the air!
The qi wave was composed of nine flying swords, and the river in the center was actually dispersed!
Yun Que's figure jumped out, and his sword fell back to the shore.
Except for a few droplets at the ends of the hair, there were no injuries.
Seeing that Yun Que was safe and sound, the two of them were relieved, and a group of soldiers surrounded them and waited for them.
"Is there a water ghost in the river?" Zhou Yuanliang was shocked.
"That's still fake! I got entangled in the water monkeys and almost didn't come up! Fortunately, Yunhou pulled me!" Wu Dachuan had palpitations in his heart.
Cloud Shorts Head:
"It is indeed a ghost in the water, and it has been cut to pieces by me."
"I still have Yunhou, God blocks and kills God, ghosts block and kill ghosts, and strengthen my Da Yan Xiong!" Zhou Yuanliang's sycophants have always been unique.
Wu Dachuan couldn't think of too good sycophants, so he smirked.
"Let's find someone to interrogate when there will be water ghosts in the Hanshui River." Yun Que ordered to go down, and after a while, the soldiers found a nearby fisherman.
The fisherman trembled, frightened by the soldiers, and made a big move.
"Are you a local?" Zhou Yuanliang was in charge of the inquiry.
"Back to my lord! The small family of three lives near Zhulang Mountain, and they make a living from fishing, and they haven't done anything bad!"
"So, you're familiar with the Hanshui River, and you've met water ghosts in the river." Zhou Yuanliang asked.
"No, no! The little one had never seen a water ghost, but ......" The fisherman stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Langshan.
"But what! If you have something to say, dare to conceal it, and you will be punished for collaborating with the enemy!" Zhou Yuanliang said violently, like a great general.
In fact, he doesn't even have any official position, just a man who eats and drinks with the army.
"I say! I said!"
The fisherman was frightened and told the truth: "I have never seen water ghosts, but I have heard many rumors of water monkeys, and we will never go out of the boat after dark, and we usually fish in the waters ten miles away from the foot of the mountain."
"Where do you live?" The cloud is out of the air.
"At the foot of the mountain, in recent years, barbarians have often come to raid, next to the Zhushan Temple is relatively safe, the surrounding fishermen have either moved their families a long time ago, or gathered at the foot of the mountain to live." The fisherman replied.
"Since you live at the foot of the mountain, why don't you fish at the bottom of the mountain, you have to go ten miles away." Yun Que asked.
The fisherman must have a secret when he is willing to seek the near and far.
"This ......," the fisherman muttered.
Yun Que's eyes sank, and he said, "I am the vanguard officer of the left road of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and I am in a hurry, but I can cut it first and then play it, if you don't tell the truth...... ap.
Yun Tian raised his hand a little, and a sword light pierced into the water, exploding a wave.
The fisherman was frightened and hurriedly said:
"Because the waters are not peaceful! There are often cases of fishermen drowning for no reason, and none of us fishermen know how to drow, and it is certainly not water that can drown us!"
The fisherman swallowed and continued:
"Later, there were rumors that monkeys had been found near Zhulang Mountain, and fishermen were drowning one after another, so we deliberately avoided this water, and finally found that it was safe to leave for ten miles, so no fishermen in the vicinity dared to fish at the foot of the mountain."
Yun Que waved his hand to let the fishermen go back, without making things difficult for the other party.
The survival of the fittest, these fishermen, who rely on water for food, have found a way to safety.
However, it is really incomprehensible why there are water ghosts in the ten-mile waters near Zhulang Mountain.
"It shouldn't be."
Zhou Yuanliang pondered and said: "There is Zhushan Temple on Zhulang Mountain, and the incense is vigorous, it stands to reason that this water area should be the safest, why is it that there are water ghosts at the foot of Zhushan Temple, but there are no other places."
"Could it be that the old monks on the mountain are making ghosts and making water monkeys to harm people?" Wu Dachuan guessed.
"Raising ghosts in front of the temple? Those monks are crazy." Zhou Yuanliang said.
"It's not strange that there are water ghosts in the cold water river." Cloud lacks a way.
"I would like to hear Yunhou Gaozhi." Zhou Yuanliang asked for advice.
"This is the battlefield." Yun Que groaned: "The friction between the Yan Kingdom and the barbarians began ten years ago, and reached the extreme five years ago, I don't know how many bones were buried on both sides of the Hanshui River, I am afraid that many of these corpses sank to the bottom of the river, and some of the grievances will not be dispersed, and over time they will form water ghosts."
Zhou Yuanliang nodded again and again, and said, "It makes sense, in the past ten years, we have buried more than 100,000 soldiers on both sides of the Hanshui River, and there are no fewer dead on the barbarian side."
"It's not the water ghosts that are bizarre, it's why the water ghosts gather at the foot of Zhushan Temple." Yun Que said in a deep voice.
The fisherman just now seemed to have an inexplicable fear of Zhushan Temple.
"Yun Hou thinks that the gathering of water ghosts is related to Zhushan Temple?" Zhou Yuanliang became nervous, his father was in Zhushan Temple.
"I'll go into the water and see."
Yun Que said that he jumped to the surface of the water again, and at the same time sacrificed something in his hand.
Suddenly, a layer of light appeared around the body, like a transparent screen, on which there were fish and dragons circulating, beautiful in the moonlight.
Ichthyosaurus water dividing cover!
As Yun Que's body sank, the surface of the water separated on its own.
The speed of the water avoidance magic weapon was extremely fast, and after a few breaths, Yun Que stood at the bottom of the water at a depth of 100 zhang.
Through the luster of the circulation of the fish and dragon water dividing cover, you can see a radius of ten zhang away.
What catches the eye is a piece of constantly swinging aquatic plants, and between the aquatic plants, there are dry bones of white forests!
Yun Que raised his eyes and looked around, and there were nearly a hundred pairs of white bones within ten zhang.
The bones all had the same posture, their skulls lying up, their empty eyes as if looking at the water.
Looking along the eye sockets of the white bones, it is the direction of Zhu Langshan!
Controlling the fish and dragon water dividing cover, Yun Que went to the center of the river, until he walked out of a distance of several miles, and he could still see the existence of white bones at the bottom of the river.
There is no need to look further, under the water area of ten miles, it is covered with white bones!
These white bones are old and new, some are covered with seaweed that have been dead for some years, but some are very fresh, and there are small fish shuttling in the bones, pecking two bites from time to time.
There aren't many water ghosts.
Only one or two were encountered, and after crashing into the fish and dragon water dividing cover, they were twisted into a ball of gray gas.
After probing the bottom of the water, Yun Que came to a conclusion.
Someone is deliberately raising ghosts!
As soon as he landed on the shore, Yun Que ordered, "Order someone to inform all camps to be on guard tonight, and we will go up the mountain and go to Zhushan Temple."
The bottom of the river is full of bones, but there are few water ghosts.
So where did the ghosts that should have been so many go?
Most likely in Zhushan Temple!
The emperor is not dead, Yun Que doesn't care, but Yuguo Gong and Shoufu are accompanying the king.
If something happens to the head of the civil and military forces, the Northern Expedition army will become a group of dragons without a leader.
Zhou Yuanliang and Wu Dachuan had a premonition that the situation was urgent, so they didn't dare to ask more, and followed Yun Que into Zhushan Temple.
The temple was quiet, and the temple doors were wide open.
Under the corridor, an old abbot was smiling and waiting for the visitors.
