The monster was so fast that the old man and the rest of the people present at the time did not see it clearly, only its yellow fluffy body and monkey-like body, but it had no tail. Ma Shiping recalled the appearance of the monster in the wooden coffin before, and said with a frightened face.

"Dressed in yellow fluff, still like a monkey?" Wu Youqiu muttered the words of the old county official, and lowered his head and became silent.

"Since Lord Ma and everyone present at the time had seen that monster, I guess it shouldn't be a ghost. When Mao Eighteen heard this, he whispered to Wu Youqiu beside him, "I think it may be a monster that manifests its form." ”

The little monk agreed with the third brother's statement. Holding a steamed bun in his hand and nibbling a few bites, Jingchen echoed on the side.

"Well, third brother, Jingchen, let's go to Beach Town now. Wu Youqiu nodded, got up and said to the old county official, "Master Ma, can you send someone to lead us to Beach Town?"

"Three masters, it's going to get dark soon, I think you will rest in my yakou for one night, and tomorrow I will personally take you there?" Ma Shiping replied with concern when he heard this.

"No need, Master Ma, we've been comfortable for a long time, so you can find someone to take us to Nabich Town today. ”

"Alright then, the three masters are here for a while, and I'll order someone to arrange the carriage. Ma Shiping listened, and then walked out of the hall.

"Big brother, you can eat a steamed bun first. After the old county official left, Mao Shibai picked up a steamed bun on the table and handed it to Wu Youqiu.

After the three of them sat in the hall for a while, Ma Shiping returned to the hall and led them to the entrance of the palace. After that, the three of them got into the carriage arranged by the old county magistrate and went to Beach Town.

After galloping for a while to the west of the county seat, the carriage came to a large river, which was about twenty or thirty zhang wide, and there was a smooth path beside the river. The car followed the path by the river until it was dark, and finally came to the town of Beach Town.

"Three masters, Beach Town has arrived, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go and arrange an inn for you. The carriage stopped at the side of the road on the edge of the Wei River, and the coachman pulled the carriage to stop, and then ran briskly to an inn built by the river.

The inn was built on the edge of the town, there is an old tree in front of the inn, and there is a square wooden sign hanging on the tree, which is engraved with the four big characters of 'Wei'an Inn'. After the coachman ran into the inn, he ran out of it again after a while, and beckoned Wu Youqiu and the three people in the carriage into the inn, "Three masters, you will stay in this inn tonight." ”

"Thank you!" After entering the inn, Wu Youqiu raised his hand to the coachman and gave a salute.

"You're welcome, it's all our lordship's orders. The coachman nodded and smiled back, and then shouted at Xiao Er in the store, "Xiao Er, you can bring the three masters into the room, and ah, they have been traveling all the way, you can quickly prepare dinner for them." ”

"Got it, sir. The shopkeeper nodded in response, and then eagerly led Wu Youqiu and the three into the room.

After setting up Xingli in the Wei'an Inn, Wu Youqiu and the three of them had another dinner, and at this time, the sky outside the inn was already dark. They discussed it at the dinner table, and then walked out of the inn.

"Three, our Beechcraft Town hasn't been peaceful lately, so don't go out on this big night. When the three of them walked to the door of the inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, we came to Beachtown to see what monsters are doing in the Wei River, you don't have to worry about us. Mao 18 and Wu Youqiu glanced at each other, and then smiled and explained to the shopkeeper.

"That's not what Xie said about the three masters. The shopkeeper stared at the three of them up and down, looked at the dark outside of the house, and said, "Looking at the clothes of the three of you, you should also be cultivators, but you are young, it is better not to lie down in the muddy water." Do you know that a few days ago, the county magistrate invited the most famous Taoist priest in Guifeng County to come here, and the Taoist priest ......"

"As a result, the Taoist priest died here, right? Wu Youqiu's tone was full of kindness, and he smiled and said, "Little second brother, you don't need to worry about me, I think you still close the store and rest early, if we come back, you can open the door for us." ”

After talking to Xiao Er, the three of them walked out of the house and stepped into the night. Although there are stars tonight, the moon at the beginning of this month is like a thin eyebrow, and there is no brilliance.

The inn was only more than ten zhang away from the Wei River, and when he came to the river, Wu Youqiu picked up a trick and lit a torch in his hand. Immediately, by the light of the torches, a stone jumping platform by the river that stretched diagonally down to the middle of the river appeared in the eyes of the three people.

"Third brother, Jingchen, we don't know what this monster in the Wei River is, we have to be careful tonight. Holding the torch and shaking it, Wu Youqiu walked directly down the jumping platform to the river.

Due to the current water potential in the river, the stone jumping platform is not long at the moment, and it touches the river after about two zhang long. This jumping platform is mainly used for loading and unloading goods and going back and forth to and from the ship.

After walking along the jumping platform to the river, Wu Youqiu squatted down and touched the river, and then held a torch to look carefully in the gentle Wei River for a while, and then turned back to the path by the river.

"This Beech Town is located on both sides of this Wei River, big brother, I think we should find out this town first. Looking at the dark river, Mao 18 suggested.

"Okay~ Then let's go. Wu Youqiu nodded, and then led Mao Eighteen and Jingchen to the path in front of the town with a torch.

After some inspection, they found that there were more than 100 residential houses on both sides of the river in Beachtown. The Wei'an Inn where they live is on the south side of the river, and there are more than 70 houses in this row in the south. In the middle of the town, there is a bridge, along the bridge to the north side of the river, there are also more than 60 houses standing in a row more than ten zhang away from the river.

After turning around the towns on the north and south sides of the Wei River, the three of them finally stopped on the bridge in the middle of the town. The bridge is only a few feet wide, and the deck is slightly arched. Under the 30-zhang bridge connecting the two banks of the river, it is supported by more than 20 stone bridge pillars.

"Big brother, third brother, the old county official said that the monsters here have yellow fluff and look like monkeys, are there any animals living in the water like this?" Standing in the middle of the bridge, Jingchen asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, since I was a child, I lived in Tsing Yi Town with my master, there are no big rivers and lakes there, I have lived in Luofu Mountain for the past two years, and there are no these nearby, and I know very little about the monsters in the water. Mao 18 stared at the dark Weihe River and shook his head.

"I've never heard of a water monster like this. Wu Youqiu sighed and said bitterly, "It seems that only when this monster in the Wei River appears, can we know what it is." ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go. Jingchen and Mao 18 nodded, and then followed Wu Youqiu to the bridge on the south bank of the river.
