Chapter 45: Water Ghosts in the River
Mo Chen looked at the golden carp that kept spitting bubbles in the river, smiled knowingly, and with a wave of his big sleeves, the water flow in the river automatically converged, forming a water column in the shape of an arched bridge on the side of Mo Chen's boat, and the golden carp swam in it, constantly fluttering, very happy.
Mo Chen looked at the cheerful appearance of the golden carp, and then lay on the boat, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and when he was drowsy, a panicked female voice suddenly came from the painting boat in the distance.
"Help~ Help~ Someone has fallen overboard!"
When Mo Chen heard this, he looked over with a pair of magic eyes, and saw that under a painting boat, there was a man in white who was constantly plopping in the water, obviously that person was not water-sensitive, and would only struggle in the water with a survival instinct. And a woman on the painting boat was screaming in panic, and at this time someone had already rushed over and wanted to go into the water to save people.
"Little carp, let's go and see it too. ”
Mo Chen got up and walked on the river, the golden carp swam beside him, and one person and one carp quickly approached the painting boat.
The man in white who fell into the river was secretly sighing bad luck at this time, his name was Lin Chuan, he was a famous genius in Guangze Mansion, although the way of Jingyi was not very prominent, but he had some insights into the way of Danqing.
After the painting, the lady was extremely satisfied, gave him a lot of silver, and was happy, so she drank a few more glasses of wine, and then felt that the boat was stuffy, and came to the deck to breathe, but she didn't expect the wine to come up, and she accidentally fell into the river.
At this time, Lin Chuan in the water watched someone jump into the water to save himself in the painting boat, and his panicked heart relaxed slightly, Mo Chen stood ten meters away from here, watching the man in white being rescued by a big man, but he had no expression on his face, still staring at the underwater, in his eyes, there was a female water ghost in white lurking underwater, and he could vaguely see that his face was hesitant, as if he was struggling for something.
At this time, a big man with a big shape, holding Lin Chuan in one hand and the rope thrown from the painting boat in the other, was about to climb up, but suddenly felt that the man he was holding in his hand sank and fell down again.
"Save ...... Not...... Help ......" Lin Chuan felt as if his ankle was entangled in something, and he kept sinking with himself, and hurriedly shouted for help, but was poured a few mouthfuls of river water.
Seeing this, the big man swam into the river to rescue, but he couldn't pull Lin Chuan, in a trance, he remembered the rumors of the water ghost asking for his life, and his arm inadvertently loosened, it was this time, Lin Chuan lost his grip point, and immediately sank towards the river, and then saw the river, a figure wearing white clothes and long hair covering his face grabbed his ankle, which immediately startled him, and the struggle became more and more intense, but it was useless.
Seeing this, the people on the painting boat hurriedly shouted, telling the big man to go down to save people, but the big man grabbed the rope, his face changed, and he hesitated.
Mo Chen sighed lowly, and came to the river quietly, watching the water ghost pull the man in white and keep falling into the depths, seeing that the man in white was about to faint because of drowning, Mo Chen was about to come to the rescue, when he heard the water ghost, who seemed to be struggling, sighed, and threw the man in white to the river with both hands.
Seeing what the water ghost had done, Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, then waved his sleeves, and a mana wrapped the water ghost, and whispered: "Come with me!"
The white-clothed water ghost felt that his body was suddenly restrained by a strong mana, and his heart was shocked, and he was just about to make a move, when he heard a sound transmission, and noticed that the other party had no malicious intent, so he calmed down and followed the guidance of the breath.
When everyone on the painting boat saw Lin Chuan floating up again, they immediately shouted, and the big man also swam over, probed Lin Chuan's mouth and nose, and saw that he was still breathing, so he hurriedly climbed up along the rope that was thrown down.
Mo Chen walked all the way to the boat where he was, and then sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, holding his chin with one hand, and picking up "Travels in Mountains and Seas" with the other, looking at the female water ghost who was floating over quickly.
The female ghost in the water looked at Mr. Tsing Yi who was half-sitting on the boat in front of her, and her speed was a little faster, and she came to Mo Chen, her body floated on the surface of the river, she knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Little woman Chu Qin, meet the fairy chief." ”
Mo Chen nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "I see that you have been a water ghost for a long time, and the ghost body has been invaded by the evil and evil aura, but your spiritual platform can still maintain a trace of clarity, which is very rare, and you obviously had the opportunity to drown the man and find a substitute for yourself, but at the last moment you actually gave up again, which is enough to be called commendable, can you tell Mo your story?"
"The immortal has a life, and the little woman dare not obey. The female ghost Chu Qin agreed, still kneeling on the surface of the river, not daring to raise her head.
Mo Chen sighed and said, "You get up first, Mo won't hurt you." ”
The female ghost Chu Qin answered, stood respectfully in the water, raised her head, her long black hair was scattered behind her back, revealing a slightly gentle and unusually pale face, her eyes flashed with a look of memory, and then she slowly spoke.
"About 60 years ago, the little woman came to the Huangzhu River with her father to fish to supplement the family, a hard day, the harvest was not bad, when she wanted to leave, the fishing boat was suddenly trembling, the little woman did not stand firm under her feet, accidentally fell into the river, although there was some panic in my heart, but I had a good water nature, but I never thought that I would die in the river. ”
Speaking of this, the female ghost Chu Qin's face flashed with resentment, and the evil aura on her body increased greatly, Mo Chen frowned for a while, and the female ghost Chu Qin seemed to realize her gaffe, hurriedly reined in her breath, and continued.
"Who knew that there was a demon in the river looking for a substitute, and the little woman was dragged into the Huangzhu River and drowned, and after I regained consciousness, I had turned into a water ghost. Over the past 60 years, he has been constantly suffering from the invasion of yin and evil spirits, and the thoughts of harming others and asking for his life have become more and more serious. ”
But whenever the little woman has this thought, she always thinks of the sadness of the old father at home when she died, so she has been restrained for sixty years, but with the addition of the yin and evil qi in the river, the spiritual platform has become more and more muddy, and today, the idea of killing is about to be uncontrollable. ”
When Mo Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, you took it away, otherwise you would have become a ghost under Mo's sword tonight." ”
The dragon yin sword on the side heard the master mention himself, and immediately flew around the female ghost excitedly, and finally stood quietly beside Mo Chen, the female ghost Chu Qin looked at the fairy sword full of spiritual rhyme, and felt frightened, secretly sighing that it was fortunate that he didn't harm the person's life just now, otherwise the stand-in would not be found, and he would be completely dissolved.
"Thank you for the grace of the immortal for not killing. The female ghost Chu Qin hurriedly knelt down again and said respectfully.
Mo Chen didn't speak, the scene was quiet for a while, the female ghost Chu Qin didn't know what Mo Chen was thinking, but she didn't dare to make the slightest move, for fear that Mo Chen would be unhappy, so she drew her sword and beheaded her.
After a long time, Mo Chen looked at the female ghost, and then sighed: "Seeing that you are also a poor person, Mo will give you a creation, are you willing?"
