Chapter 37: The Water Ghost and the Flying Sword
At night, the girl lit a lamp in the bow of the boat to attract the fish underwater, and then cast the net, but the method that usually works well did not work today, and she was busy for half the night, and there were no fish in the net at all.
The girl was still busy, but the old man was more sure of something, put away a few bamboo tubes, and then said.
"Don't be busy, put the boat on the shore, and stop fishing today. ”
Maybe it was from the old man's tone that he heard something, Qinghe didn't speak, and he was about to turn the bow of the boat obediently, but who would have thought that the originally light penny didn't move, as if it was entangled in something, this feeling was very strange, it didn't look like it was entangled in aquatic plants at all, it didn't look like it was a broken fishing net, and there was a fog on the water surface, which made Qinghe couldn't help but shiver.
Stab!
As if pouring water into a pot of oil, the old man put away the bamboo tube, looked at the mist rising from the water, and said with a somewhat solemn face.
"Boating!"
Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, and then mentioned the penny, sure enough, it was as easy as usual, although she didn't understand what was happening, but she still hurriedly rowed the boat to the shore, because the river that would only bring her kindness on weekdays suddenly became strange.
The old man just poured into the water was nothing else, but the pure water left by the empty on the altar, this water blessed the Buddha power, although it will soon dissipate, but it also takes time, so pouring into the water naturally has a violent reaction.
It's a pity that the things in the water don't intend to let go of the prey that comes to the mouth, a trace of wet and slimy aquatic weeds began to crawl to the boat from all directions, and when the lights shine, I found that this is aquatic weeds, which are simply human hair, but whose hair can grow so long and enclose the whole boat.
Qinghe was almost frightened and screamed, and hurriedly wanted to speed up the rowing, but he didn't expect the penny to be entangled again and couldn't move at all.
"Don't stop!" The old man reacted very quickly, his anger sank into the dantian, and the internal force of decades of refinement was poured into the penny, and he pulled out the penny at once, and then opened the bamboo tube with one hand, poured the black dog blood inside on the penny, and let Qinghe continue rowing, and the old man smeared the remaining black dog blood on his palms, and cut off the hair that wanted to trap the boat one by one.
But the old man still underestimated the determination of the underwater thing, and countless strands of hair burst out of the water like poisonous snakes, covering most of the boat in an instant, if it weren't for the agility of the two of them, I am afraid that they would have been tied up and dragged into the water.
The old man took out two bamboo tubes from his arms, smashed them with one palm, and a large handful of black dog blood was sprinkled along the palm wind, and fell on the hair of the boat like sulfuric acid, and those hairs were also like life, and they were stimulated to retreat into the water, and the black dog blood was washed away with river water.
"Draw your sword. The old man took a breath, after all, he was getting older, although his internal strength was getting more and more behind, but after all, he was old, but this time he also got a chance to breathe, so he said to Qinghe.
Qinghe took out a short sword more than a foot long from behind him, the red scabbard of this short sword was extraordinary, and even the hilt was carved from expensive high-quality red coral, not at all like a fishing girl could take it.
However, although this sword girl has been with her all the year round, the old man never let her pull out the sword, she herself has tried many times in private, no matter how she pulls it out, she is allowed today, even if the situation is not right at the moment, the girl is also full of excitement.
The old man took out a small porcelain bottle from his belt with a solemn face, poured out the blood taken out of the cockscomb on the hilt of the coral sword, only to see that the blood seeped into it, and after a rooster crow, the sword automatically popped out an inch, flashing a firelight, the old man flashed slowly, the sleeve was cut off in half by the sword light, and the break reached out and pinched, one hand was black ash, it can be seen that the sword light also contains high temperature.
Qinghe excitedly pulled out the short sword, only to see that the short sword was no more than nine inches long, and the red light of the Dao Dao spread out from the sword body to both sides, and the layers were like feather fans, but it was not as slender as the ordinary sword light was like a spear.
As soon as this sword light came out, all the hairs of the boat shrank into the water, and all the slower ones turned into black ashes, emitting an unpleasant smell.
Qinghe's confidence increased greatly, jumped to the bow of the boat, and pointed the short sword into the water, which immediately illuminated a side of the water, revealing a white and swollen human face hidden in the water.
"The monk really only pretended to be a ghost, and lied to people that he would overkill all the water ghosts here, and the next time I saw him, I must hit two bags on his head. Qinghe was startled at first, and then saw that the water ghost was fleeing in a hurry, and suddenly said triumphantly.
"Don't be careless, hurry up and get to the shore!" the old man didn't think that the monk was lying, so the only explanation was that these water ghosts had another origin.
"Don't be afraid, grandpa, with the sword in hand, these water ghosts can't help us at all!" Qinghe waved his short sword majestically, frightening many water ghosts to run around, and turned his head proudly to the old man.
"Watch out for underwater!" the old man immediately reminded when he saw a different black figure in the water move.
Qinghe was just scared half to death, at this time he was finally scared of those water ghosts and fled, naturally proud, neglected to take precautions, and when he heard the old man's warning, he was already half a minute slower, and was stabbed in the shoulder by a black short fork with a fishy smell, and suddenly the sword was taken out of his hand, and he spit out a mouthful of black blood and fell softly on the boat.
Fortunately, after the short sword fell into the water, the power did not decrease, but the threat increased greatly, even the black shadow who succeeded in the sneak attack had to temporarily retreat, and when the short sword was sealed with a secret method, the old man had already abandoned the ship and disappeared.
"It turned out to be a flying sword, whose disciple is this woman?, why is there no trace of cultivation?" When the water surface returned to darkness, a short old man holding a stone box appeared on the water, standing there steadily, as if standing on the flat ground, looking at the direction of the old girl and the girl's escape, touching his beard and contemplating.
But this old man is too short, but he is still wearing a pitch-black robe, looking from behind, he looks like a hedgehog, now his face is gloomy and uncertain, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
"No, you can't let the tiger return to the mountain, the old man will make an exception to go ashore once today, and he will come back within an hour. ”
Having made up his mind, the old man opened the black stone box that had been beating, which contained the short sword in Qinghe's hand, and at this moment the short sword was nailed into the box by two short forks with black light, but it was very reluctant, every time the short sword struggled, it would leave a little scorch mark on the short fork, and I was afraid that it would not take long to destroy these two short forks.
"Such a powerful flying sword, if it is not controlled by no one, or even refined, the old man is afraid that it will take some effort to hold that girl. ”
But the more so the old man will not let go of those two, after all, he was banned in his early years and was not allowed to leave the waters, in case he was provoked by that girl and brought a powerful opponent, wouldn't he be unlucky.
