After waiting for about half an hour, Gu Changqing saw that the sky had completely darkened, so he slowly approached Hujiagou.

If you want to find out the truth about the murder of the water ghost, you must at least know her identity first.

Xiaohu River is leaning on the edge of Hujiagou, this woman died in the river, maybe she is from Hujiagou, Gu Changqing's first reaction to this matter is to ask Hu Changshun, the village chief of Hujiagou.

But he wasn't sure if this matter had anything to do with Hu Changshun, so he didn't take the liberty to ask directly.

He planned to go to Hu Changshun's house first to find out.

Hu Changshun's house was at the head of Hujiagou village, and Gu Changqing came to his window in the dark.

I saw the figures in the house shaking, the smell of food was fragrant, and a female voice said: "Boss, our son hasn't been home for a few days, will you go to Mount Emei tomorrow to ask?"

"What is there to ask? He is concentrating on learning Taoism on Mount Emei, the two of us had better not be easily disturbed, he will become a Taoist priest one day, and it can be regarded as a glorious lintel." ”

It turned out that Hu Changshun's son was learning Taoism in Mount Emei, but when the water ghosts made trouble, why couldn't he invite the Taoist priests from Mount Emei?

Gu Changqing felt that there seemed to be another hidden meaning in this.

At this time, Hu's wife said again: "Hu Sanxiao came over at noon, let me ask you if you can dig a well next month?"

When Hu Changshun heard this, he wondered: "What are you doing digging a well? The water in the Xiaohu River can't be eaten?"

"You don't know, but yesterday someone drank water from the river and started vomiting and diarrhea. ”

Hu Changshun was silent for a moment and said, "Isn't the water ghost who is making trouble in the river being accepted?"

"Yes, everyone can't figure it out, there have been too many strange things these years. ”

Gu Changqing was also quite puzzled when he heard this, the water ghosts were all collected by himself, there is still a problem with this Xiaohu River?

He thought about it, left Hu Changshun's house, and came to the edge of the Xiaohu River.

The moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, with a dappled light, Gu Changqing stood by the river, and suddenly felt a gust of cloudy wind.

He recited a mantra and put his finger on his forehead to open his eyes.

The Eye of Heaven is a basic spell, which does not enter the rank, and only needs to consume four points of mana.

This technique can make the naked eye and the mortal fetus psychic, and the eyes can see evil things.

He observed the Xiaohu River with the eye of heaven and found that everything in the river was as usual, and there was no problem.

"It's strange, there's no problem with the river!"

Gu Changqing slowly squatted down, stretched his hands into the river, and was ready to hold some water and taste it himself.

At this moment, a white shadow rushed in front of his eyes, and suddenly disappeared into the water, causing ripples.

Before Gu Changqing could see what it was, suddenly a shout came from afar.

"Oh no, the mother-in-law of the Hu San family has fallen into the water!"

"Help!"

Gu Changqing heard the voice, but it was Hu Changshun's wife shouting.

He was startled.

Was it just a person?

Gu Changqing Fox was skeptical.

At this time, Hu Changshun had already come to the river, holding a torch, and when he saw Gu Changqing, he immediately exclaimed, "It's you?"

Gu Changqing shrugged his shoulders and said, "What happened?"

"Didn't you see it? someone fell overboard!"

Gu Changqing shook his head.

Although he did see a white shadow jumping into the water just now, he could be sure that it was not a person, because the white shadow was small, about the size of a chicken and duck.

Not long after, Hujiagou was brightly lit, and almost all the villagers ran out.

A man lay on his stomach by the river and cried bitterly, if it weren't for several strong men pulling him, I'm afraid he would have jumped into the river to find someone.

Only then did Gu Changqing understand what was happening.

The man's name was Hu San, and after eating at home with his wife half an hour ago, he came to Hu Changshun's house alone and asked about digging a well.

Before Hu San walked into Hu Changshun's house, he saw his wife suddenly running by.

He hurriedly called his wife, but she turned a deaf ear.

Hu Changshun's wife ran out after her, and she also wanted to stop her.

But the evil thing is that Hu San's wife doesn't pay attention to anyone, just cares about running.

ran all the way, and finally jumped into the Xiaohu River, and there was no movement again.

Gu Changqing looked at Xiaohu River again with his heavenly eyes, and suddenly found that the surface of the river was very evil, and there were faint evil things in the water.

It was similar to what he had seen the last time he came to Xiaohuhe.

In other words, a new water ghost was born in this Xiaohu River.

However, what Gu Changqing couldn't understand was that what he saw was not a person falling into the water, but why did Hu San and Hu Changshun insist that it was Hu San's wife who fell into the water?

The Xiaohu River is bottomless, and even people from Hujiagou rarely go down to the river.

However, Gu Changqing felt that he should go into the water, no matter what fell into the water, there were always corpses, and finding the corpse might solve the doubts.

Hu Changshun heard that Gu Changqing wanted to go down the river, and immediately stopped him.

"Layman, no one knows how deep this Xiaohu River is, and besides, it's night, so let's wait until dawn. ”

Gu Changqing thought about it and felt that there was no need to be in a hurry, so he gave up.

He turned his head and asked, "Have you drowned in this river recently?"

He didn't directly ask if the water ghost had recently drowned.

Hu Changshun shook his head and said, "It was more than ten years ago that people drowned in the river. ”

"Is there anyone missing in the village lately?"

"Haven't heard of it. ”

Gu Changqing thought to himself, if it was really as Hu Changshun said, there were no drowned people in Xiaohu River, and no one was missing in the village, then where are the water ghosts?

How did you become a water ghost in the Xiaohu River?

"It's a pity, it's not a Taoist priest yet, if there is a Taoist priest, you can use that spell to trace the source. ”

In the "Shangqing Taoist Sutra", there is a nine-grade spell called "Soul Chasing", which can be used to investigate the scene before death for ghosts.

Although this technique is only nine grades, it can only be performed if you have a Dao Urn.

The pity that Gu Changqing said is this.

Hu Changshun said to Gu Changqing: "Layman, do you say that there is something strange in this river? First there were water ghosts, and then there were living people who fell into the water, and until now the river water cannot be drunk, I have never heard of such strange things." ”

Gu Changqing said: "I can't say clearly, I have to go into the water for everything." ”

After Hu San's wife fell into the water, others thought that she couldn't survive, and after appeasing Hu San, they all went home separately, and they didn't even dare to salvage the body.

Hu Changshun originally intended to let Gu Changqing go to his house for one night, but Gu Changqing planned to go to Hu San's house to spend the night.

He always felt that it was not Hu San's wife who fell into the water, he trusted his instincts and eyes.

Maybe you will find something when you go to Hu San's house.

Hu San's whole body lost his vitality, like a walking corpse.

In the end, it was Gu Changqing who carried him home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Hu San's house, Gu Changqing heard a smell of blood, and he hurriedly put down Hu San and ran into the courtyard.

The scene in front of him shocked him.
