Chapter 58: The River Monster

Just a few miles away from Luanfeng County, I saw a river in front of me from a distance, and on the embankment, a group of people in Wuyang Wuyang were crowded together, looking at something on stilts, and it seemed that there was a very lively place to watch.

Seeing this scene, the road is not complete, Shui Lingyu is quite curious, seeing that there is a lively scene, she can no longer take a step under her feet, she took Chu Ping's hand, and leaned forward vigorously. Chu Ping had no choice but to obey her, he didn't think about it, but he was crooked, and solved the big trouble for the people on this side, how the matter is, and see the following detailed statement:

When I came to the front of the people, I saw a shrine set up on the bank of the river, and there was a witch who was about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a purple-black windbreaker, a golden ribbon tied in front of her forehead, a goose yellow silk handkerchief on her head, and a gray hair, pouring down like a coax, covering her neck with her back hair, and her front hair reaching her eyebrows, and her face was smeared with a lot of lake paint, just like a big flower face on the stage, and she was very perverse.

I saw the witch holding a three-foot-long peachwood sword, standing on the altar, dipping the tip of the sword in water, dipping it in water, dipping it into a piece of pale yellow beaded sand rune paper placed on the table, taking the candle, burning it in front of the table, "woo woo woo" in her mouth, reciting the spell that even she herself couldn't understand at all, and her hands and feet kept dancing up and down, as if she was spasmed, which made everyone want to laugh in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh easily.

Seeing this ridiculous scene, Shui Lingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Brother Chu Ping, look at that old witch, with her teeth and claws, it's so funny!"

"Yes!" Chu Ping smiled slightly: "The old witch dares to pretend to be a ghost and fool people here, it's really hateful!"

"Hmph! I really want to rush over and kick her off the stage, so that she can make a fool of herself in public!" Shui Lingyu pouted and muttered.

Hearing the two of them talking nonsense here, an old man suddenly became angry in his heart, turned his head, and rebuked them all: "What an ignorant descendant, he dares to speak disrespectfully and blasphemous here, what a bold life! Hurry up and get out of here, don't hinder us from inviting God to catch monsters!"

Chu Ping was not annoyed, he bowed to the old man and said: "Don't blame the old man, just because the two of us really don't know what happened here, so they will talk nonsense and be reckless, please forgive the old man!"

Seeing Chu Ping's sincere admitting of his mistake, the old man's anger in his heart eased slightly, and he waved his hand again and again: "That's it, that's it! Those who don't know are not guilty, and the old man won't care about you." ”

Chu Ping saluted and said: "Thank you for your tolerance, I don't know, you please ask the goddess, why do you come here to do the law?

"Ahem! It's hard to put it into words!" the old man sighed: "It's just that a few months ago, in our river, there was an inexplicable more water monster, which often haunted the water, injuring the boaters on the water∪ it was the brothers of the Hua family who were killed here, and the bones were gone.

In the following days, many merchant ships were attacked by river monsters one after another, and although they were lucky enough not to hurt people, they also lost a lot of property. The people of the village were so frightened that they no longer dared to sail here!

But most of the people in our area make a living by doing water farming, and if they don't go out of the boat, can they drink the northwest wind?

Therefore, the big guys got together, discussed it carefully, and finally decided that the big guys would raise funds and invite the goddess You to sacrifice one or two here, so that the god of the river can show his magic powers, drive away the spirits in the water, and let the people in our village return to their normal lives!"

"Ahem!" Shui Lingyu couldn't help but sneer: "Don't invite a strong man with the ability to catch monsters, but ask for some gods, you people are really ignorant enough!"

"You ......" The old man was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Shui Lingyu and shouted: "You girl, you are too presumptuous to be heard by the river monster, but I can't spare you." ”

Shui Lingyu disagreed, pinched her waist with both hands, and said with a smile: "That's just right! If it dares to come, my Brother Chu Ping will definitely not let it go." ”

The old man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Cough! Ignorant girl, I really don't know how thick the sky is!"

Shui Lingyu quietly leaned into Chu Ping's ear and said with a smile: "Brother Chu Ping, you might as well show your magic and catch the river monster for them! ”

Chu Ping couldn't help but want to laugh, and said, "Lingyu, Hugh is going to lift me up! I am also a human, not a god, how can I fight monsters." Okay, don't delay any longer, it's better to hurry. "Pull Shui Lingyu and leave here.

Seeing Chu Ping's "cowardice", Shui Lingyu's account folded his eyes, and he had a plan, so he made a radical general, and sighed: "Oh! I really can't imagine it, I can't imagine that Chu Daxia, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, will also be afraid to retreat, it's really unbelievable!"

"Who said I was scared?" Chu Ping couldn't wipe his face, knowing that it was to provoke him, but he still insisted: "Lingyu, look at it, I, I will definitely prove it to you, I, Chu Ping, am definitely not a bad seed." ”

"That's good!" Shui Lingyu smiled: "But Brother Chu Ping, you must be careful, we don't have to act recklessly, let's find out the details of the river monster first!"

"Okay!" Chu Ping smiled: "Lingyu, what do you think I should do?"

"Then how do I know wow!" Shui Lingyu frowned slightly, feeling embarrassed, and muttered softly: "Brother Chu Ping, let's take a look at the situation......!

"But what?" asked Chu Ping.

Shui Lingyu said: "I always feel that the matter of the river monster is not simple, it is not good, someone is doing ghosts from behind!"

"Lingyu, you mean, someone is pretending to be a river monster?" Chu Ping boldly guessed.

"Not bad!" Shui Lingyu clapped her hand and said, "Brother Chu Ping, just imagine, it's common sense for the river monster to hurt people, but is the river monster also short of money to spend?"

"Yes!" Chu Ping said in a trance: "It is indeed contrary to common sense for river monsters to attack merchant ships and only take property, but not easily hurt people's lives. It seems that the river monster is not really weird, but someone is doing it. In that case, then I have to expose this guy's tricks. ”

"Then we might as well stay here for a while, right?" said Shui Lingyu with a smile.

"Okay!" Chu Ping pinched Shui Lingyu's face and said with a smile: "It's okay to teach my Lingyu to rest." ”

Shui Lingyu was quite unconvinced, pinched her waist with both hands, pouted, and muttered: "Hmph! Who said that people are tired? My Shui Lingyu is not so squeamish!"

"Okay...... not squeamish, not squeamish!" Chu Ping smiled: "Lingyu, if you want to catch the person who is pretending to be a water monster, I'm afraid I can't do it alone, I have to find someone to help!"

"Why?" asked Shui Lingyu.

Chu Ping was embarrassed, scratched his head, and said ashamedly: "Because, because I don't know water!"

Hearing this, Shui Lingyu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, my Brother Chu Ping is a landlubber∫ although the water is not bad, but he doesn't know kung fu, and he can't help at all!"

Chu Ping held Shui Lingyu's fragrant shoulders with both hands, and said, "Don't worry, I'm reluctant to teach my Lingyu to take risks! I'm going to ask the village chief to help ∵, let's go to the village chief!"

"Okay!" the two walked hand in hand to the village chief's house. After inquiring about the people in the village, and when I came to the door of the village chief's house, only the village chief's wife was at home—knowing the intention of the two, the village chief's wife shook her head again and again: "Although the two of you are kind, but this matter is too dangerous, the little woman is sure that my husband will not agree, and it is better for the two of you to leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble!"

Chu Ping said: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to, if you are not very sure, you will definitely not be reckless ≮ I think that the matter of the river monster is that someone is making a ghost behind the scenes, so it is not that there are really monsters." ”

The village chief's wife was quite embarrassed, nodded reluctantly, and said, "That being the case, please come to the house first, and when my husband comes home, it will not be too late to discuss with him!"

"Thank you!"

Entering the inner room, Chu and Shui sat down in turn, the village chief's wife brought tea to the two of them, and Chlorine sat opposite, and said with a smile: "The little woman looks at the two of them Although they are young, they are born with a warm heart and the courage to take responsibility, which is really rare!"

Chu Ping was quite shy, smiled, and said: "Sister-in-law has praised it falsely! People in the rivers and lakes, when they see people with bad intentions, pretending to be means, and acting recklessly, how can they stay out of the matter and stand idly by?"

"Admire, admire!"

After chatting for a long time, the village chief walked into the house, heard the voice of someone in the house, coughed lightly, and shouted: "Hey, son, are there any guests in our house?"

The village chief's wife hurriedly responded: "Yes, the baby and his father's family just came to the house, a man and a woman, and said that they came to you specifically, and I specially let him into the house for you, waiting for you to come back to discuss things." ”

"Okay, let me see what kind of people are looking for me. The village chief walked into the house, looked at Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu, didn't know each other, was puzzled, and asked, "It's not me who I said, you are ......."

Chu Ping stepped forward and gave a salute and said: "The village chief, I am a disciple of the Tianshan Sect, surnamed Chu Mingping, because of the strange matter of the water and river, I specially came to ask the village chief for help, but I didn't have time to inform him, I took the liberty to come to disturb, there are many inconsiderate, and I ask the village chief to forgive me!"

"Oh! it turned out to be a chivalrous man from the Tianshan Mountains, quick, please take a seat!"

"Thank you!"

Several people sat down, the village chief drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, patted his legs with his hand, and sighed: "Cough! Shaoxia doesn't know, this river in front of my village was very calm before, I never thought that a few months ago, a river monster suddenly appeared, first swallowed the Hua family brothers alive, not to mention, in the recent days, and many times have been murderous and injured, overturning boats, making the whole people in our village panic, who dares to easily approach the river bank?"

Chu Ping and Shui Lingyu looked at each other and glanced at each other, and Shui Lingyu asked, "Village Chief, I don't know if anyone has seen it clearly, what does the river monster look like?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's not it" I heard from those who came back from escaping their lives that when the river monster attacked the boat, he had heard it with his own ears, and something in the water was screaming in vomit, and the cry was very loud! Immediately afterwards, the river churned so violently that people could not stand firm at all, and the people who supported the boat could not control the boat pulp at all, and they were so frightened that they all jumped out of the boat and fled. Oops, that's scared to death!"

"May I ask the village chief, has that river monster ever chased someone?" asked Shui Lingyu.

The village chief shook his head and said, "There has never been a ∷ jumping boat to escape, the river monster just capsized the boat, and did not chase people. ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyu was even more convinced that someone was pretending to be a river monster to hijack a boat to get money, and asked, "I wonder if when the Hua family brother died, did anyone ever see it with their own eyes, and they were indeed eaten by the river monster?"

"Then there can be a fake!" said the village chief, "At that time, many people saw with their own eyes that when the Hua brothers came back from the boat, the boat had just reached the middle of the river, and a large whirlpool suddenly appeared on the water, which instantly swallowed the boat, and then a large area of blood red appeared on the water, and neither of the brothers came back alive. It's a pity that these two brothers, who are young, have not yet started a family, so they died like this, which is a pity!"

"Then why does this river monster only eat the two of them, but not the others?

"Who taught them to be dead-eyed and give up their lives and money! When the river monster came, they didn't jump off the boat and escape, they deserved to be eaten by the river monster. The village chief said.

When Chu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be a little shaken, and said to Shui Lingyu: "Lingyu, could it be that we are thinking wrong, in the river of Shui Shui, there are really monsters?"

Shui Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chu Ping, don't worry, if you want to know if there are any monsters in the Huanshui River, you only need to find the two brothers of the Hua family to find out." ”

The village chief couldn't help laughing and said, "The girl is really good at laughing, the brothers of the Hua family have taught the river monster to eat it, and there are no bones left, where can I find it?"

"Go to his house!" Shui Lingyu smiled.

The village chief smiled: "Look at this girl, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes∷ They are all dead, the courtyard of the Hua family has long been deserted, what else can I find out there?"

Chu Ping knew that Shui Lingyu had many ideas, and said to the village chief: "Don't work hard for the village chief, dare to ask the village chief, Brother Hua, where did he live before his death?"

"The second courtyard at the east end of the village is the residence of the Hua brothers□ do you have to go?" asked the village chief.

"Not bad!" Shui Lingyu smiled: "Anyway, there is nothing to do, so you should go there to go there!"

The village chief shook his head slightly, and said, "Since the two of you insist on going, then let them go!" It's just that when you come back, don't be too late, the people in our village are used to resting early, and when the time comes, don't shut the two of you out of the door, then it's a little unacceptable!"

"Don't worry, village chief, I'll be back soon. Chu Ping said.

In the evening, after dinner, the two went to Hua's house hand in hand, and when they couldn't see the two of them, the village chief and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and said: "These little couples are really a pair of dead eyes." After a little laughing, he turned back to the house.

When I came to the door of the Hua family, I saw that the courtyard door was closed, the lock was already rusty, and the courtyard was overgrown with artemisia grass, it seemed that the Hua family had indeed been uninhabited for a long time.

Shui Lingyu still didn't give up, and said to Chu Ping: "Brother Chu Ping, let's go to the house and take a look, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries!"

"Okay!" Chu Ping hugged Shui Lingyu's waist, and with a lot of luck, the two jumped into the courtyard, pushed open the door and entered the house, it was pitch black in front of them, and they couldn't see a little bit of light illuminated by thousands of miles of fire, groping their way forward.

After a while, when I came to the inner room, I saw a table next to the wall, and there was a slight residue on the table, and if I looked closely, it was actually some chicken bones, fish bones and the like, and there were two empty wine jars, seeing these, Shui Lingyu was excited: "Brother Chu Ping, if this house is really uninhabited, then how should these things be explained?"

When I came to the counter, I gently wiped the table with my hand, and there was no dust, and I was even more convinced that this room was indeed inhabited. Chu Ping was puzzled: "What a strange thing! The outside of the courtyard is so desolate, but the house is so neat, could it really be that someone lives here?"

Let's say that Chu Ping was suspicious, and suddenly saw a figure shaking outside the house, he was startled, and quickly raised his feet to chase out of the house, and by the bright moonlight, he saw someone in front of him, and accelerated his pace and chased straight forward.

Gradually, chasing closer, Chu Ping suddenly jumped in front of the man, and shouted: "Who are you? Why did you come to the Hua family at night?"

"Alas!" the person in front of him laughed and said, "You are so lazy, it is obvious that you have entered my house privately, but now you are questioning me instead." I'm going to ask you, who are you? Why did you enter my house without my permission? What do you want to do? Could it be that you are trying to steal something?"

Chu Ping couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "Oh! It turns out that Zunjia is the master of Washington ≈ Taiwan, let me ask you, I don't know which of the two brothers of the Hua family are you, is it the eldest of Hua, or the second of Hua?"

This person was stunned for a moment, and the governor leaked his feelings, and ran away. Chu Ping was unwilling to let him escape, raised his foot and chased straight after him, and in three or two steps he rushed to the front, and with one hand, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted: "Boy, why are you pretending to be a water monster and hijacking ships and injuring people? Also, who is the instigation and who are the accomplices? Say it quickly! If you don't tell me the truth, be careful that I will kill you immediately!"

"Don't ......! I said, I said it!"

If you want to know what the truth of the river monster is, let's break it down below.
