Chapter 14: The Water Ghost of the Midyear Festival

Later, Leng Xi learned that in some cases, the human world and the underworld are connected, and when the ghost door is opened, there are some places in the human world that can directly lead to the underworld, such as wells, such as some cemeteries, and bridges.

But not everyone can get in, and not every ghost can come out, and the evil ghost who ran out of the eighteenth layer of hell took advantage of the connection between the human world and the underworld to open his ghost mouth on the bridge, and some people looked like they had walked across the bridge, but in fact they had been swallowed by the ghost.

The bridge was so unusual, some children disappeared while walking, so there were many people looking for people in that area, Leng Xi remembered the cry he heard when he was on the bridge, those children were not gone, but were swallowed alive by the evil ghost, and the unknowing parents were still anxiously looking everywhere.

After discovering the strangeness there, the Xuankong Daoist turned around and found that Leng Xi was gone, but he didn't care so much at the time, he had to let Leng Fangxuan put talismans around him, and the evil ghost became more and more presumptuous after discovering the Suspended Dao Chief, and directly began to swallow it by adults and children, and the bridge also collapsed in an instant, but I don't know what happened The evil ghost began to feel uncomfortable, and before the Xuankong Dao Chief could make a move after the bridge collapsed, the evil ghost spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes.

After the bridge collapsed, the people on the bridge died and wounded, Leng Xi also appeared after the evil ghost turned into ashes, but there was no breath, Leng Fangxuan thought that Leng Xi was dead, so there was the scene that Leng Xi saw when he opened his eyes.

There were still a lot of cries around, and Leng Xi's body was shaken, and the crying ......

His thoughts returned to reality again, and there was indeed a cry in front of him, not a memory, it was true, several people walked quickly to the place where the crowd gathered, those people all stared at the river, only to see that the boat on the river had capsized, and the other boats were also in tatters, and they looked like they had been directly hit by something, and the lanterns were also extinguished, floating miserably on the water, several people were crying next to them, and one of the women kowtowed to the people around her.

"Everyone, let's save our family, I can't live without him. ”

"O my child!

......

The cries one after another, as well as the voices of the people around them, turned out to be those people who were playing on a boat for some reason, one of the boats was suddenly hit in half by something, the people on the boat fell, and the people on the other boats immediately rescued people, but the people who fell down were pulled down by something before they could struggle, and then the others did not dare to move, but there was something under the water that was circling the boat, and the people who fell into the water did not reappear.

The people on the boat did not dare to act rashly, and some people wanted to jump on the case, but as soon as they jumped up, they screamed and were dragged down by something, and the thing began to hit the boat again, and the people on the shore did not dare to approach, and the people on the boat, including the boatman, were gone after a while, and the people on the shore did not dare to mess around, for fear that the next person to be pulled down was himself.

A swarthy hand slowly reached up, and the people on the other side of the river began to scream:

"Water ghosts, water ghosts!"

Only then did the people here find that a hand appeared, and it suddenly grabbed the leg of the crying woman who was near the river, and the woman lay on the ground screaming, and grabbed the stone slab on the ground, some screamed and retreated, and some stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand.

Leng Xi's flying sword cut off the black thing that looked like a hand at once. The woman was saved, but her leg was almost broken.

"That thing doesn't dare to go ashore, everyone stay away from the water. ”

The crowd didn't know who shouted like this, and those people tacitly got some distance from the water, and the few people who had lost their relatives knelt down in front of Leng Xi as if they had found a savior, begging him to save their husbands and children......

Leng Xi shook his head, indicating that there was no help, even if there was no such thing that didn't know what it was, ordinary people couldn't be saved after being underwater for so long.

The people cried even more sadly, and Leng Xi picked up the half-arm-like thing, which was still bleeding, red, and it seemed to be ...... Not a ghost.

The crowd unconsciously began to make trouble again, everyone's attention was on Leng Xi, and they didn't notice the other side at all, at this time, the other side leaned on the shore and looked into the water, and the other bank disappeared in an instant.

Someone screamed, someone snored, a child was ripped off, and a few people found out that the other side was gone, and the red that flashed on the bank just now was the other side, and she jumped down without hesitation after pushing Jiayu to Lang Shao, and at the same time jumped down Lengxi.

Jiayu exclaimed that her sister wanted to get close to the shore, but was grabbed by Lang Shao and pulled back, and comforted her that she was okay.

The sight under the water is very poor, and when she looks up, she can see the light on the water because of those lanterns, she can feel that something is swimming around quickly, and with a bang, Leng Xi came to her side, both of them were holding swords in their hands, back to back, and the fire spirit snake also appeared, and some could be seen underwater.

The people on the shore exclaimed when they saw two snake-like fires under the water, but Lang Shao and Jiayu were relieved when they saw the light, there was a fire spirit snake, and there would be nothing wrong with Sisi and Leng Xi.

The two people under the water looked around for a week and didn't find the figure on the other side, only those things of unknown origin swam quickly, so fast that they could only see a black shadow, the two looked at each other and decided to look separately, the two fire spirit snakes also followed the two separately, one upstream, one downstream, after a while, both of them were out of the water for ventilation, and the two people in the distance shook their heads at each other, and the people on the shore were relieved to see that the two were okay.

But in an instant, both of them were pulled down, and the crowd screamed again, and the two fire spirit snakes overtook the downstream at the same time to catch up, and Leng Xi was pulled to the point that when he was about to catch up with Ji Si, he happened to hit the fire spirit snake that was chasing Ji Si, and the thing was startled and let go of Leng Xi and fled.

Leng Xi and the two fire spirit snakes chased after the dragged away at the same time, Leng Xi appeared in the water again for a while to ventilate, but he couldn't see the people on the shore anymore, and he didn't know how far he swam, he seemed to have fainted a little because he had been underwater for too long, and now he was struggling very slowly, and finally a fire spirit snake caught up, and the black thing ran away again, Leng Xi could see that it was the appearance of a person.

The fire spirit snake took the silk on its body and rushed out of the water at once, looking back at the silk with some concern, the silk coughed a few times and coughed up some water and gradually regained consciousness, and touched the head of the fire spirit snake gratefully.

Soon, Leng Xi and another fire spirit snake also caught up.

"It's okay. ”

She shook her head and pushed the wet hair stuck to her face behind her ears, "I saw it, like a human, but not a human, like a monkey to be exact." ”

"It seems that I am right, the monkey in the water is commonly known as the water ghost. ”

"Let's go downstream, I feel like the other side is downstream. ”

Leng Xi nodded, and this time the two of them rode directly on the Fire Spirit Snake and rushed into the water.
