Chapter Ninety-Five: There Are People Underwater......
Shimoyanagi Village.
A name that you must pronounce correctly, or you are likely to cause trouble.
This is all strange for a stout willow tree that has developed for hundreds of years, looking like a strong man in women's clothes, standing majestically and vigorously at the bend of the Liuhua River.
With this big willow tree as a landmark, the villages in the upper reaches are named Shangliu Village, and the villages in the downstream are named Xialiu Village.
The Liuhua River is one of the more famous rivers in Hangzhou.
First, because the river is wide and the waterway is long, which runs through the capital of Hangzhou and leads directly to the East China Sea, and there is only a small section of the river in Yuhang County.
The second is because the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, with spring flowers and autumn moons, summer willows and winter plums, and the scenery of the four seasons is new.
Therefore, there are often big households in Hangzhou to take a small boat and a painting boat to play here in the beautiful weather.
Like other villages in Yuhang County, most of the villagers in Xialiu depend on fishing for their livelihood, and a small part of them farm.
This can be seen in the layout of their village.
Most of the houses are built along the riverbank, with only a small part on the opposite side, closer to the farmland.
As soon as Li Chu came back from the sea, he came here with the fox girl and the villagers, but it was still getting dark.
This time, he still took the fox girl with him, because Li Chu found that it was very convenient to take her out.
His appearance is too easy to attract bees and butterflies, and he is easy to attract crowds everywhere. And his personality is too elegant and easy-going, and it is not easy to get out.
At this time, if there is a fox girl standing next to her with a big tail wagging, even if her appearance is not terrible, people will be a little jealous.
The fox girl doesn't know when she'll be fully transformed.
While she still has access to it, use it a few more times.
There are about twenty or thirty villagers in Xialiu Village who go to Deyun Temple, and that's not all, there are at least eighty or ninety people in the village who have dreamed of the woman, covering men, women, and children.
In Deyun Guan, Yu Qi'an asked carefully, and their answers were very consistent.
Everyone dreams of the same scene, all of them are eerie, and they can't see the environment clearly.
Then a wet woman, with her water-stained hair long and heavy, draped down and covered her face.
In a particularly dark and cold voice, it said only one sentence.
"There are ...... people underwater"
For Li Chu today, the difficulty of exorcising evil is not how to kill it, but how to find it.
This woman has been dreaming for a few days, and no villagers have been harmed, so thinking about it, its purpose should not be to harm people.
It seems to be ...... I just want to tell the villagers something.
There are many people who have this dream, and they have nothing in common except that they are all in Shimoyanagi Village.
Do the same thing...... Go to the same place......
None of these.
The information it reveals is only these four words, and there is not much room for imagination.
The underwater scope is too broad, and in places like Xialiu Village, there are several wells in the village alone, as well as lakes, large rivers, streams, paddy fields, and water tanks......
If you are not sure of the location, you can look for them one by one, and you may have to find next year.
Even a carpet search with your heart and eye takes a lot of effort.
Because there were too many people who had this dream, Li Chu did not visit them one by one.
I thought about it for a moment.
He decided to ask people who didn't have this dream.
There are only about twenty villagers in the village who have not had this dream. The village chief soon called them over one by one and questioned them at his house.
The villagers are very cooperative, because now in this village, they are the more panicked group......
When everyone has experienced something, but you have not experienced it, you will inevitably murmur in your heart......
It's just that these villagers are also men, women, and children, and they have no characteristics.
Li Chu casually asked a few basic questions, and then let them leave.
But......
When they came, they all came in twos and threes, and Li Chu hadn't found out yet. As they were leaving, a large group of people left together, and he noticed.
These villagers are all going in the same direction.
"They live very close?" Li Chu asked.
The village chief thought for a while and said, "Yes, they all farm on the other side of the village. ”
Li Chu nodded.
It turned out that things were simple......
It's just that the villagers may not have experienced such a thing, and they panicked for a while, so they didn't think of it.
All those who dreamed of that woman lived by the river of flowers.
None of them who dreamed of the woman dwelt by the river.
In this way, it can be locked, and the appearance of the woman is related to the Liuhua River.
The underwater it says is very likely to be under the Liuhua River!
Tonight the stars and the moon are gone.
Li Chu took the fox girl to the Liuhua River, and no villager dared to follow.
He closed his eyes quietly.
The range of the heart eye technique covers a section of the river, slowly penetrating downward.
But Li Chu was not disturbed too much, and quickly locked on to the bottom of the riverbed, a somewhat depressed cloud of yin qi.
This yin qi is not very strong, but the surroundings are very clean, and only here is there a possibility of some dirty things.
Li Chuxing was there, and suddenly wanted to try the newly started water beads.
The bead happened to be on him, and there was no need to prepare anything else, just hand over the money bag to the fox girl to take care of carefully.
Jumping into the water.
Li Chu entered the water, but there was no popping sound or splashing.
It was as if the water had voluntarily parted and welcomed him in.
And the feeling after entering the water is even more magical.
If it really blocked all the water, then Li Chu should have fallen all the way.
But that's not the case.
That feels...... It's like inserting yourself into some soft existence, being softly wrapped, and you can feel the water sliding and licking along the perimeter.
Gentle, tickling.
Gurg, coo.
You can walk with your feet and move your body freely. The name "water repellent" doesn't seem to be appropriate, it should be called water control beads. It's as if all the currents of water have become your friends all at once.
Hold you up when you need it and keep your distance when you don't.
Li Chu felt the magic of the water beads while slowly descending.
And then......
In the position of the gloomy qi, I saw an existence that might produce a yin spirit.
A corpse.
A female corpse with long flowing hair and brocade, even after soaking in the water for an unknown amount of time, still did not rise, and there was almost no change.
You can even see that this woman had a good face and a bumpy figure before her death.
Imagine the scene, in the dark of the night, under the silent water, facing a lifelike corpse, as if it would open its eyes at any moment......
Immediately, Li Chu leaned forward and went up to hug a princess......
He picked up the woman's corpse, turned and walked back, quickly parting from the water and rediscovering her form.
"The hosts. The fox girl barked.
"It went well. Li Chu replied.
When he saw the little Taoist priest walking into his house in the middle of the night with a female corpse, the village chief's face turned green.
Although Li Chu said very calmly, there is no need to be afraid.
But at this time...... Who is not afraid is the grandson.
"I think she may have drowned in the Liuhua River because of some accident, and she didn't want to be buried here, so she will give you a dream. Li Chu explained: "Now as long as this corpse is sent away, it should be fine." ”
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon, and many people who die will have this kind of "ghost" situation.
This kind of ghost doesn't have much ability, it all depends on an obsession, as long as its body is properly placed, it will disperse.
The villagers wanted to bury the body quickly, but it was not that simple.
If a person dies out of thin air, he must report it to the yamen to know, and the body must also be sent to the mortuary of the yamen.
Determine the cause of death, confirm identity, and search for family members...... There's still a lot of process to do.
So a few bold villagers, together with Li Chu, sent the female corpse to the yamen overnight.
That's the end of the matter.
Fish up its corpse, and the woman's ghost should be dispersed.
......
Who knows, early the next morning, Chow Tai Fook came to the door.
"My little Daoist Li, I beg you to do well, dispose of that female corpse. ”
Chow Tai Fook had dark circles under the eyes of the two bosses, his eyes were blank, and his face was frightened.
Li Chu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chow Tai Fook said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, I had a nightmare yesterday and woke up on the spot, and then when I asked, I found that all the brothers in our class had the same dream." ”
"I dreamed of a woman who was wet and said to you in a gloomy manner......"
"There are still people ...... underwater"
