Li Chu rolled his eyes speechlessly, "No, that's what people grow up with." ”

"Long?"

Wang Longqi was stunned for a moment, this was something outside the scope of his knowledge.

"It's the white fox from last time, the one you wanted to take home at that time. Li Chu said.

"Oh!" Wang Longqi suddenly said: "It's it, it was still on me at that time......"

As he spoke, he didn't know what picture came to mind, and a lewd smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"She's transfigured, but for some reason, now I have to take her in. Li Chu explained a few words, and then glared at Wang Longqi, "What are you here for?"

"Hey, hey. Wang Longqi sneered embarrassedly, "I really have something serious to come to you." ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and asked, "Have you ever heard of water monkeys?"

"Water monkeys?"

Li Chu thought about it, this kind of thing is very famous, almost where there is water, there will be a legend of the water monkey. But what exactly it was in its original form is a matter of opinion.

Wang Longqi looked at his expression and knew that he didn't know very well, so he began to preach mysteriously.

"You know, my family has a seafood business. The fishermen went out to sea to catch the fish, the medicinal herbs they collected, and some strange things, all of which we have a shop to collect. ”

Li Chu nodded, Yuhang Town is near the sea and has many water systems, and there are many fishing villages under its jurisdiction. The Wang family started by collecting sea goods, and although many other businesses were later derived, this is still the main body of their business.

"In the easternmost part of Yuhang County, there is Wangyu Village, which is the most seaside village in Yuhang County, a little far away from our town. Our shop has been working with their village for many years and has a close relationship. ”

"Yesterday was the fifteenth, and the people in our shop went to receive the goods as usual, but this time they didn't receive anything. Of course, the man had to ask, but the people in their village were hesitant, and finally said something very amazing. ”

"Their village is not big, and there are only two big boats that can go out to sea to fish, and there are dozens of sailors on each boat, who take turns to go to sea. ”

"The ship that went to sea this time was fine when it went out, and it was good when it came back...... But a boatload of water monkeys came back!"

"Huh?" Li Chu frowned: "A real water monkey?"

"Yes, it looks like a monkey, but it's covered in scales. You can move on land, but be sure to soak in the water every few hours. ”

Li Chu asked again: "Was the sailor killed or did the sailor become like this?"

Wang Longqi said: "It should be a sailor, you will know it when you listen to it." Some villagers thought it was some kind of spirit, and they were about to beat the guy when they picked it up, and the water monkeys began to beg for mercy and make gestures. Although he can't speak, he can understand and know the whole village. ”

"There was only one person on that boat who knew some words, and he could stand up and communicate with the villagers in writing on the ground. Write a lot of things that only the family knows, and you can confirm that these are the sailors on the ship. ”

Turn people into spirits?

Li Chu groaned, this is a strange thing.

"After a lot of exchanges, the villagers understood what happened to the people who went to sea. ”

"They went out to sea to fish this time, and the harvest was very poor, because the familiar routes were almost beaten. So they discussed a slight change of route, and sure enough, they returned with a full load. But on the way back, there was a storm. ”

"The storm was particularly violent and unusually persistent. When the rain cleared, they found that their boat had been blown near an island. ”

"There is actually a palace on this island!"

"The sailors were running out of food and water, and they were exhausted by the storm, so they wanted to go to the island and put things in order. ”

The owner of the palace welcomed them very warmly, saying that he was a down-and-out nobleman who had moved all his belongings to the island and established a paradise. ”

He also prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited beautiful maids to dance for them. After they were full of wine and food, they even asked the maid to sleep for them. The maids-in-waiting...... Gentle and proactive......"

Looking at his head and shaking his head with an ecstatic expression, he seemed to know the details very well.

Li Chu wondered: "These are all written by water monkeys?"

"Well, I made it up in my own head. Wang Longqi scratched his head and said with a smile: "But the specific process should be similar." ”

"When they were about to leave the next day, they were still reluctant. The owner said that he was willing to pay a lot of money for all the fish they caught, and that the price he paid was more than a hundred times higher than the actual price. ”

So they rejoiced, left a boatload full of fish, and went home with a great deal of gold and silver. ”

"So far, it's all a good thing. But...... Something weird happened. ”

"Not far from the island, one of the sailors became a water monkey! The rest of the sailors suddenly thought they had met a monster, but soon no one was spared, and they all became like this. ”

The sailors were terrified, but had no choice but to drive the boat back in this body and explain it to the villagers. ”

"Because this incident is so evil, the villagers of Wangyu Village dare not speak out to the outside world, for fear that outsiders will think that there is a group of monsters in their village. ”

"Their original plan was to secretly go to Hangzhou Mansion to tell the people of Chaotianque, but they were worried that if the people of the government did not dare to go to sea to find the island, they would be merciless and directly deal with all the water monkeys, so they ...... It's very tangled. ”

"My guy heard about you, hehe, I helped you promote it. Wang Longqi patted his chest, "So he told the villagers that there is a little Li Dao Chang in the town, who is very good at driving away evil spirits, maybe let him try." ”

"The villagers were very happy, and my guy came back to tell me. I think it's really better than the people who are facing the sky. ”

Wang Longqi looked at Li Chu with an earnest gaze.

Li Chu hesitated a little and said, "Unknown overseas island...... I don't know what evil it is, in fact, I think it's better to find Chaotianque, after all, Xianmen has a deep background and many masters. I've had some dealings with Miss Li, and they're not as ...... as the people in the Yamen."

He paused when he said this, and some things were not easy to say, but he understood everything.

Wang Longqi seemed to have an intention or an accident, and muttered in a low voice: "Although they have changed into water monkeys, the boatload of gold, silver and jewelry they brought back is indeed real. The villagers said that if anyone could help them save these sailors, they would rather pay for all the gold, silver and jewelry......

Li Chu held his hand: "Let's set off immediately, we can't let the villagers suffer anymore!"

"Hey, hey. Wang Longqi smiled: "Okay, but it's not that urgent." I'm going to go back and pack my bags, after all, I'll probably have to stay a few nights this time, and I'll pick you up in two hours. ”

"Good. Li Chu bowed.

His luggage was simple, a cyan robe and a white lining. Because he wears this style of clothes all year round, it often causes a misunderstanding that the little Taoist priest never changes his clothes.

But this also has the advantage of never having to think about what to wear when you go out.

As soon as he cleaned up, he saw the fox girl Xiaobai who had come back from outside rushing in, "Master, I heard that you are going out to exorcise evil spirits?"

"yes. ”

"Let me go with you. The fox girl said softly.

"Huh?" Li Chu was stunned, "What are you going to do?"

The fox girl said slowly: "I can do a lot, I can help you with chores, sleep with you, fight for you, chat with you, and I can also learn from humans to cook for you......"

Li Chuyi raised his hand: "Wait, is there something strange mixed in there?"
