Chapter 2 The snake spits beads
"The water ghost in the Sun River, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with! Please bless the goddess Heyou, don't let this kid be choked to death and become the next unjust ghost. Uncle Meng looked at the night and prayed worriedly.
His worries are not unreasonable, few people have seen the true face of water ghosts, some say they have fangs, and they pull people into the water and suck people's blood.
It is also said that this kind of creature is changed by the soul of a person after death, and when they are still human, where they die, they must find an innocent person to die in the same water area, only then can their soul be liberated, and the soul can enter reincarnation.
But in any case, one thing is for sure, the water ghost is by no means a good stubble.
......
In the wilderness, the frogs are loud.
The white moonlight allows people to clearly see the scenery of the wilderness. The dense and extremely vast weeds swayed slightly in the wind, like a large grassland with no end in sight.
Yi Shaocheng came all the way to the vicinity of the riverbank.
On the winding river, the water surface is neither narrow nor wide, and water lilies float.
A few cooing waterfowl are foraging among the lotus leaves and water lilies, occasionally emerging from the water, revealing their jet-black heads, and their spiritual eyes are vigilantly looking around.
"This is the Sun River. Yi Shaocheng looked at the river and thought: "This water area is also the place where the haunters drowned the villagers, obviously no one has come here to wash rice and vegetables these days." The road is impassable, and the thatch on both sides of the path is even more dense because of the scarcity of people. ”
Yi Shaocheng glanced around cautiously, and then hid in the thatched pile, staring at the water, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, thinking that as long as the water ghosts appeared, he swore that he would shoot them to a thousand holes.
Time passes little by little......
However, after looking at it for a long time, Yi Shaocheng's neck began to stiffen and ache.
"Damn it, I waited all night and didn't see any movement. Yi Shaocheng was a little anxious.
Grit your teeth and wait!
And so it went on for another hour.
But there was still no movement on the surface of the water.
Yi Shaocheng's patience was gradually worn out.
This made his attention not only focus on the slowly flowing water, but also pay attention to the few waterfowl that were having fun on the water, and secretly thought that this kind of thing called "Water Aunt" in his hometown must taste good, whether it is dry roasted or made into "called flower chicken" on the spot, it should have a chewy head.
The more Yi Shaocheng thought about it, the hungrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more distracted he became. He wanted to take a sip of wine to keep warm, but he couldn't help it, the most taboo thing to survive in the wild is that there is a peculiar smell on his body, and once the smell of wine appears, it will definitely fall short.
At this time, Yi Shaocheng raised his eyes to look at the moon and judged that it should be ugly, and it would be dawn in a while.
Suddenly, there was an uproar on the surface of the water.
"Finally there's movement!"
Yi Shaocheng suddenly came to his senses, he spit out the dog tail grass in his mouth at once, and swallowed his saliva eagerly.
It stands to reason that Yi Shaocheng's eyesight is not bad in the night, and he saw from a distance that there was a surge of ripples sliding towards him from the surface of the water upstream, obviously, this means that something is moving under the water, and it is a big guy, he can see it with his head held high, but he can't see what it is.
Yi Shaocheng trembled all over, this was really because he was too excited, and slowly pulled the bow body very full, his eyes stared, and he was united in spirit. Now this half-kneeling posture is very uncomfortable, but once he stands up, he can shoot the bow and arrow in an instant, if he uses the sect's peerless "one-word long cloud arrow", Yi Shaocheng can completely fire three arrows at once, and each arrow can hit the big thing in the water.
However......
Quietly, the thing suddenly dived to the bottom, and the surface of the water quickly returned to calm.
"Damn!" Yi Shaocheng scolded in his heart, and it could be seen that the thing seemed to know that there were people on the shore for a long time.
For Yi Shaocheng, this feeling is the most unpleasant, and the addiction that he just picked up suddenly disappeared before it came up, which is really disappointing.
The moon is like practice, the air contains a unique breath of aquatic plants, the river seems empty and lonely, and it is most appropriate to describe the current scenery with desolation.
A condensed dew bead rolled down from Yi Shaocheng's eyebrows, along the bridge of his straight nose, brushed across his thin and angular lips, and on the slightly shaggy chin, the dew stopped for a moment, but finally slid down.
"I don't believe you can hold it underwater for long. I'll wait a little longer, sir. ”
Almost at the same time as the subtle movement of the "dewdrops", there was a fierce sound on the surface of the water.
It turned out that after a brief lull, the black shadow that had disappeared quickly floated from under the water again.
This time, Yi Shaocheng stared his two eyes like copper bells, he saw clearly, "whoosh", in the shadow of the water under a lotus leaf, a column of water jumped out of the water, only to see a stout water snake, from the bottom up, biting the sole of a water bird, "roar"...... Swallowed it instantly.
This big snake turned out to be a master of predation, and between the lightning and flint, he swallowed a "water aunt".
Several other waterfowl swooped and fled.
On the shore, Yi Shaocheng's little heart trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted, but then his heart was cold!
He thought it was a water ghost, and he thought that the time had come to show his skills, but he didn't expect it to be a big water snake.
"Oh my God, why do you torture me like this every time!" Yi Shaocheng was already extremely helpless.
Looking at the sky that was gradually brightening, Yi Shaocheng's chest was difficult to get out, so he aimed his bow and crossbow at the giant snake, thinking that if he really couldn't kill this guy, it would be regarded as eliminating harm to the people, so as not to cause this attack on the villagers in the future.
But things took a turn for the better.
The anaconda, which is thicker than an adult's thigh, does not seem to be very hungry, and after swallowing the water bird, it slowly swims towards the shore.
After coming ashore, the serpent twisted its body lazily and coiled together to form a colorful pancake shape, with its huge head standing tall and hissing and spitting snake hyacinth at the moonlight.
But after a while, the snake's belly squirmed, and it seemed that something round was surging upward.
"Roaring ......"
The serpent made a sound, and with a choking of its throat, its mouth opened wider and wider, and the cocked snake tail swayed rapidly and painfully, and a whirlwind of white smoke like light and mist drifted out of its mouth, and then this smoke suddenly gushed out in a cloud and floated in the air. Between the serpent and the smoke, there seems to be a thread of smoke condensed.
But it didn't take long for the smoke to dissipate, and at the same time, the contents of the smoke began to reveal itself.
It was a white bead that emitted a mild, cool blue light, the color of which was exactly the same as the moon in the sky.
Yi Shaocheng had never seen such a strange and wonderful scene, and he was holding his breath, not daring to blink his eyes. Although he was a few feet away, he was also illuminated by white light. Under this kind of light, he only felt as if there was a layer of warm jade water washing his skin, and all the strange points in his body were quietly opened at this time, and he was being pulled by a strange force.
"Could this be the legendary ......?"
