Chapter 87: The Land Temple

A ferry boat passed through the morning fog and docked on the shore, the crowd waiting on the shore suddenly became restless, and rushed to the ferry, Shi and Jin'er followed the crowd to get on the ferry, and the stone waved his hand at Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhen stood in place and also waved.

The boatman propped up the penny, and the ferry pierced through the water and headed south, leaving behind the docks and streets on the shore.

Stone and Jin'er were crowded aside by the crowd, standing next to the boat, many people were shocked by Jin'er's beauty, carrying the stone and Jin'er to point and smile, Jin'er was not moved at all, but next to the stone, wanting to appear close.

Shi remembered that Qingqiu Island that Jin'er said that day, because it involved the ghost road, he was afraid of scaring Yuan Zhen, so he didn't ask in front of Yuan Zhen, but now he might as well ask, so he said: "Jin'er, the Qingqiu Island you mentioned last time, but Qingqiu Island, one of the three islands outside the Fangwai?"

Jin'er's face leaned to the stone's ear, and the stone smelled a fragrance, but she was a little embarrassed, Jin'er whispered: "Hey, you actually know the origin of Qingqiu Island?"

Shi didn't dare to look at Jin'er's face, lowered his head and said, "I heard that it is in the East China Sea, and it is the ancestral land of the fox demon. He didn't know if he had guessed that the eldest sister next to him was really from the country of fox demons? Then naturally she was too? Shi didn't dare to think about it, his hands and feet were at a loss, and his body was a little trembling.

"You're right. Jin'er stretched out his hand to hold the stone's arm, the stone heard the words, looked up at Jin'er's eyes, looked at each other, Jin'er confessed his intentions, without the slightest concealment, his smiling face was like spring, the stone was a little panicked at first, but when he saw Jin'er's quiet eyes like seven-colored sweet spring water, his heart settled down, and he whispered: "Even if you are a fox demon, you are better than them for me." ”

Liyang Wharf.

Early the next morning, there was a lively scene in the porter team on the dock, and someone told the public about Liu Dianzong's failure to catch ghosts yesterday, and the old porter was also in the crowd, saying: "I don't think those two young people are like working all year round, maybe they are some masters." ”

A tall porter said disdainfully: "What kind of master? It's not that he has been defeated by the water ghost, how many monks and Taoists who claim to be masters have died in this place!"

"yes, yes. There was a burst of laughter and disdain for the old footman.

Liu Dianzong and Wu Yiming happened to come to work, and Wang San also followed behind, pointing at the porters and shouting: "What are you doing here, drink the wind! Get on the boat, hurry up and work!"

When several porters saw Liu and Wu, they all showed disdain, glanced at each other, and muttered in a low voice.

"I also learn to catch ghosts, be careful that you become a ghost!"

"Pretending to be a ghost must not be a good person. ”

Liu and Wu couldn't say their bitterness, how could they not bow their heads when they were under the low eaves? They wanted to leave but they didn't entangle, and they didn't see the beggar coming to them, and they muttered in their hearts that she didn't take the opportunity to run away, right? What if she really ran out of entanglement?

Holding his breath, he worked from morning to lunch, and before evening, the wharf was crowded with people, a busy scene, the porters loading and unloading the ships came and went endlessly, the ships coming and going from the north and south, and even the streets on the shore had many people coming and going.

The sun was full of eyes, the water surface was rippling, and a few waterfowl flew down on the water not far from the boat to feed, light and comfortable, and suddenly, several birds fell into the water like arrows, without even struggling, and the rest of their companions flew away in shock, and the busy people did not seem to notice the movement in the water.

The water not far away was no longer calm, a ripple swelled, swinging around, slowly, from the bottom of the water rose a huge green mussel shell, as big as a roof, green as jade, the whole body was covered with ribbon-like lines, the giant clam "hulala" emerged from the water, attracting people on the boat and on the shore to watch, screaming, not knowing what it was.

When everyone was full of doubts and at a loss, the mussel shell floated on the surface of the water and stood still, and a wisp of black smoke came out of a hole in the mussel shell, which grew in the wind, and in a moment, the black smoke turned into fog, and the fog gradually became a cloud, covering the sun, and the sky suddenly darkened, like night coming suddenly.

Liu Dianzong, who was crowded in the group of porters on the boat, saw this river mussel coming out of the water, using the ghost path to cover the sky, and covering the sunlight with ghost mist, which was clearly to open the way for the ghosts who could not see the three lights, and he was shocked, could it be that the water ghost is going to come out now?

Liu Dianzong guessed correctly, this giant mussel is the millennium river mussel monster called Emperor Chen by the Four Yakshas, came here from Taihu Lake seven years ago, relying on the Four Yaksha to hunt live people on the shore at night, to nourish the heart, and even refined the eight-inch Tongtiankou, boasting that soon after, it can take off the mussel shell, turn into a human body, and will become a ghost fairy, the Four Yaksha is even more diligent and flattering, offering blood food in the morning and evening, looking forward to asking Emperor Chen to continue to shelter the four ghosts, Emperor Chen naturally agreed, I don't want to take it long, the four ghosts met Liu Dianzong, although they defeated Liu Dianzong that night, but the Four Yaksha was resentful in his heart, and still wanted to give the people of Liyang City a dismount, but the Four Yaksha is refining in the water, although it is a yaksha in the ghost class, still could not see the daylight, and at night, the dock was empty again, so Emperor Chen went out of the water during the day to cover the daylight, so that the four yaksha could come out to take revenge on the people.

Liu Dianzong saw that something was wrong, and shouted, "It's not good, everyone go quickly, the water ghost is coming!" Several porters turned pale with fright, and Wang San squeezed in front of everyone and said, "Don't talk nonsense! The water ghost has never appeared in the daytime before?"

Everyone also nodded, looking at Liu Dianzong suspiciously, Liu Dianzong pointed to the black clouds in the sky, and said: "The water ghosts didn't dare to come out before, because they couldn't see the daylight, but now the daylight has been covered by the black fog of the river mussel monster, they can come out!"

"Run!"

I don't know who took the lead, the porters threw down their goods with a bang, and ran to the shore, and the planks between the boat and the shore were not very wide, and the people panicked and shoved and squeezed the planks, and soon several porters who walked in front fell into the water, including the tall man, who fluttered in the water, stirring up a burst of white waves.

Emperor Nachen had already released the black smoke, completely obscuring the daylight, and then sank into the water and disappeared, shrouded in black fog around the dock, like the night before dawn, and it would be bright.

Someone lit a torch on the shore and lit up the pier.

The people who fell into the water have not been saved, but the people on the shore saw a green shadow coming straight towards several people who fell into the water, the situation was critical, and they shouted at several people, hoping that they would avoid it quickly, where can the people who fell into the water hear, and they struggled to climb the bluestone wall to go ashore, but the bluestone was too slippery and almost impossible to focus.

When Emperor Chen's figure arrived, the five people who fell into the water felt a strong suction force coming from under them, and their bodies sank involuntarily, and they never showed their heads again!

This stimulated the crowd even more, and began to flee in a panic, and after falling into the water, the green shadow flashed, and the person disappeared, and finally after losing a dozen people, all the people on the boat went to the shore, and some of the people who escaped the death were paralyzed on the ground, some cried for the loss of their loved ones, and some ran towards the street, vowing never to step on the board of the boat again in this life!
