It took Li Ling a lot of effort to explain clearly to the girl who fell into the water and the girl with the bow, saying that he was not a kappa, and explained the principle of artificial respiration to save people, which proved his "innocence." ”

Misunderstanding solved!

This is a fishing village called Sanxingji, as the saying goes, the villagers have been fishing for a living for generations, living a dull life of sunrise and sunset.

But ten years ago, a monster appeared in the river and disturbed people's peaceful lives.

At first, two women who were washing clothes by the river mysteriously disappeared, and everyone thought that they had fallen into the river, because the river was fast, and the bodies were not found.

Then fishermen disappeared one after another when they went out to sea to fish, and everyone knew that there were monsters in the river.

The monster stirred up waves in the river, killing more than a dozen villagers every year.

So far, the villagers still dare to go down to the river to fish, but they can't fish, which naturally cuts off everyone's source of livelihood.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the village chief stood up and said that the river demon had given him a dream that as long as a pair of boys and girls and a young girl were paid every year, this monster would no longer cause trouble.

The people in the village were divided into two groups, some agreed with this matter, some disagreed, and the villagers who disagreed said that it was a monster, and suggested that everyone pool money to hire a mage to get rid of this evil.

As a result, several villages pooled money together and invited a few mages in a row, but the monster was not eliminated, but it was angered, and it actually went to the village at night and injured several people one after another.

In desperation, the villagers had to pay tribute to a pair of boys and girls and a flower girl, and sure enough, the monster did not come out to harm anyone.

This has been going on for five years in a row, and this year it's time to pay tribute,

The girl who was paid tribute was called Liu Qing, today it was her, and tomorrow it would be the pair of boys and girls, but who knew that it was destroyed by Li Ling.

"It's really unreasonable, it's just ignorance, but since this thing has happened to me, I will definitely get rid of this evil for your village. Xu Qingqing, the girl with the bow, was furious after hearing this, and turned her head to look at Li Ling, "Young man, I see that you have good skills, it seems that you have practiced, that, you can mix with me in the future, and today we will go down to the river to kill that monster." ”

Li Ling was a little funny, it looked like this little girl didn't know where she ran out, she had no experience in the world, she was typical and brainless, and she still wanted to go down to the river to get rid of demons with her three-legged cat's kung fu, isn't this a fool's dream?

Thinking back to the monster I encountered in the river before, I don't know if it's the monster Liu Qing said, or if it's another monster, with the speed of that monster in the water, it's really difficult to catch it, and you have to find a way to lure it to the shore.

Besides, he didn't have much interest in this matter, and there was no benefit, and in terms of his actual age, it was earlier than the time when he was hotly impulsive, after all, in this world, good people are not necessarily rewarded.

"What, boy, no guts? coward. Xu Qingqing saw that Li Ling did not answer his question, and was immediately a little annoyed.

"Hehe..." Li Ling glanced at him lightly, smiled, didn't bother to argue with this brainless girl, he rolled up his trouser legs, and observed a few purple and blue marks on his ankles, which were left by the monster in the water.

Liu Qing next to him suddenly screamed and pointed to the marks on Li Ling's legs, "This is the paw prints of the kappa, and the people killed in our village have such paw prints..."

Li Ling's heart moved, took out a package from his arms, took out the book "Records of Strange Beasts in Shenzhou" left by his master, and looked through it carefully.

"Oh, it should be. ”

Li Ling turned to a page, looked at it carefully for a while, and probably determined what kind of monster the monster in the water was.

If the book is not wrong, the monster's name is Water Monkey.

It is a kind of monster born of yin qi in the water, likes to eat children's brain marrow, can intercourse with women, absorb women's Yuan Yin, can turn into a human form in two hundred years, give birth to wings in five hundred years, fly to the sky and escape to the earth, harm one side, is a very powerful monster.

The water monkey in this river should not be deep, and there are only a few decades of cultivation, otherwise, Li Ling was afraid that he would not be able to come up from the river just now.

The current water monkey is easy to deal with.

"Well, we will get rid of this evil and benefit the people. ”

Li Ling made a decision.

The reason why he changed his decision was not because he had a strong sense of justice, nor because he was provoked by Xu Qingqing, but because this water monkey was a treasure.

To be precise, the objects in the body of this water monkey are of great use to people in the cultivation world.

The water monkey is a monster that gathers the yin qi in the river, belongs to the yin, there are three bone beads in the vertebrae of this monster, which can be refined into a magic weapon, and the cultivator wears it all the year round, with the extraordinary effect of clearing the heart and concentrating the mind and dispelling the demons.

The pursuit of immortality by cultivators is a violation of the laws of nature and going against the sky, which is easy to arouse the jealousy of the yin demons in heaven and earth.

With this thing by your side, you can avoid this situation very well, and for cultivation, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Such a treasure, how could Li Ling not be moved, even if it was a little dangerous, it was worth it, after all, such an opportunity could be said to be unavoidable.

"That's pretty much it. ”

Hearing Li Ling's promise, Xu Qingqing was greatly satisfied.

Looking at Xu Qingqing, who had one eye turned into a panda eye, Li Ling was amused and ready to tease her, "Miss Xu, do you have any good way to get rid of this monster?"

Xu Qingqing replied hesitantly.

"I have a solution, but I'll have to make you make some sacrifices, are you willing?"

"How sure are you?" Xu Qingqing looked at Li Ling suspiciously, not believing that the little kid in front of him had any good idea.

"I don't dare to say that you are 100% sure, but as long as you are willing to cooperate, you are still 8 or 9 points sure. ”

"Okay, you say, as long as I can get rid of this monster, if I can do it, I will obey it. ”

"Really?"

"Don't be verbose, how can you be a man's mother-in-law, hurry up. ”

Li Ling smiled, and said in the expectant eyes of Xu Qingqing and Liu Qing: "It's not troublesome, it's just that I'm hiding aside, you go down to the river and lure it up, this monster likes to suck the virgin's brain the most..."

He didn't care about Xu Qingqing, whose face had changed greatly, and continued: "When this guy got carried away, I came up and stabbed it and it happened, well, you can rest assured, everyone will remember you in the future, I will burn more paper money for you during the New Year's Festival, or build an ancestral hall for you, often worship you, thank you for your contribution to the collection of the three surnames, you will always live in the hearts of all of us..."

"By the way, are you still a virgin?" Li Ling's words changed, "If you weren't a virgin, the temptation effect would be greatly reduced." ”

"You... You little fart... Children know a lot. Xu Qingqing's face was red, and she was a little incoherent, "Why don't you go and seduce that monster?"

"I'm a man! It's not interested in me. Li Ling smiled, "If I were a daughter, I would definitely be duty-bound, why did you shirk it again? Didn't you pat your chest and promise just now, and still say that my mother-in-law and mother did? Now that I have a way, you hesitate again?"

"I... You... I don't agree with your bad idea, you are trying to harm me. Xu Qingqing was annoyed, with an expression that always had Diao Min wanting to harm me.

"Well, kidding, I'm not really going to do that, although it's a good idea. Li Ling's face pale, "How far do you give me, I will capture this monster myself, you are so stupid, it will get in the way here, when you are caught by this monster and taken to the river to be your wife, don't blame me for not saving me when I see death." ”
