......

The Taoist scriptures say that the human soul belongs to water, the water is black, and the main wealth is the main wealth, so the human soul declines when it encounters fire, and prospers when it encounters water. It is precisely because of this that the water ghost has always been one of the most difficult ghosts to deal with, first, it is easy to hide in the water, and secondly, it is troubled in the water, using water as a medium, with boundless mana, especially the kind of water ghost who is particularly resentful.

Ao Yan issued an edict from the aquarium and summoned most of the fish and shrimp in Xiangliu Lake.

The first to appear were the water slaves, the green turtles, the crab big, and the four Daolang, and after asking, these four went to the river outside the big ditch last night to feed, so I don't know about it.

Next came the green jade.

Qingyu led a whole array of orderly shrimp soldiers, swimming from the big ditch, Ao Yan saw that he must be training, and praised it twice to let it disperse.

As for Xiao Hei and Xiaobai, they are not in Xiangliu Lake at this time, and they must have gone to fight somewhere else.

"Where's Ao Qing?" Ao Yan didn't see the little water snake.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound from the reeds, and a large black water snake with a length of three meters and extremely thick swam over.

The water snake swam up to Ao Yan and rubbed his ankle meekly and affectionately.

Looking at Ao Qing, who was already fat and couldn't tell whether it was a snake or a pig, Ao Yan was helpless for a while, this little guy only knew how to eat all day long, and didn't think about cultivation, seeing that it came from the reeds, he asked: "What did you see at dusk last night?"

"Shhh...... Hiss...... Hiss ......"

Ao Yan listened, his brows stretched and furrowed, and finally nodded: "So that's the case, you go, eat less, and practice more." ”

Hiss......

The fat pig-like water snake swayed and swam into the water again.

"I see. Feeling Changming's eager eyes, Ao Yan pinched her nose and said, "Say it while walking." ”

On the way, Ao Yan told Changming about the information Ao Qing had gotten.

It turned out that Ao Qing happened to be resting in the reeds yesterday, and at that time he happened to see a person enter the village. The man kept saying something, his tone sounded very low and indignant, and when he passed by the lake, his body was stunned, as if he was stopped by something, and his eyes became confused and walked towards the lake, Ao Qing happened to see it.

Later, as the villagers had said, he sat on the shore and talked to himself, as if he were talking to someone.

As he spoke, he walked towards the lake, getting deeper and deeper, and when he was halfway through, his body suddenly seemed to be pulled forward by a rope around his waist, and rushed straight to the center of the lake.

The man seemed to come to his senses, struggling for his life. During the struggle, Ao Qing only saw a hairy thing like a woman's head float up and down, disappearing. As the thing disappeared, the man's struggle changed from fierce to weak, and finally he was dragged deep into the duckweed where it was, and after a while, the body remained motionless and floated to the shore.

Last night, under the moonlight, after the last violent struggle of the man, Ao Qing saw a phantom float out and escaped, and there was an undercurrent surging under the water.

"Changming, what do you think?"

Ao Yan asked, at this point, everything was obvious.

The water ghost was not a ghost, but an aquatic demon called the water monkey.

In addition to sucking the essence of the human body, this demon also has to suck the soul of the human spirit.

It's just that for some reason, Xin Shi's soul was able to get out of his body at the last moment, so as to escape the fate of his soul being scattered.

Now that his body is dead, even if his soul is found, it can't help him return to yang, and now in broad daylight, let alone ordinary yin spirits, even powerful ghosts can't exist.

After discussing it with Changming, he came to a conclusion.

On the whole, Xin Shi was able to escape from his body, and he must have a strange treasure or means on his body, so he should have found a habitat to live at this time, and then reappeared at night to ask for his life from the water demon.

As for the water monkey who escaped a dinner, he certainly wouldn't give up, and this kind of thing is the most easily irritated.

Changming guessed that a real water ghost and a water demon would definitely have a fight tonight.

Of course, all this has long been seen through by Lord Hubo, and he knows it in his heart. After listening to what Changming said, Uncle Hu said: "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought." ”

I returned to the temple, had dinner, watched the moonlight hours, and cautiously came to ambush in the reeds by Xiangliu Lake. At the same time, Ao Yan has all his subordinates who have been ignited have lurked in the lake, on the surface and under the water, waiting for an opportunity to move.

In the middle of the night, the lake was unrippling and the moonlight was shining.

Just when Ao Yan thought that neither of them would come, suddenly, a miserable wind blew, blowing through countless reeds, water and grass, setting off the sound of a person rushing away, and went straight to a thick place of duckweed in the middle of the lake.

Wow!

A splash suddenly erupted from the duckweed, and a round rumbling thing was carried by the water and rushed towards the wind.

Boom!

The invisible wall of wind collided with it, and there was a bang.

The whirlwind retreated a few meters, drawing a white mark on the surface of the water, and the ball rolled down to the surface, bounced a few times, and disappeared under the water with a loud bang.

To the naked eye, it was just a wall of wind, but Ao Yan could see that it was a burly man with a height of 1.9 meters, with a meager red steam all over his body, and a meager machete in his hand that seemed to be made of cold mist.

Ao Yan recognized this man...... No, this ghost is Xin Shi, Xin Laohan.

I saw Xin Shiti walking on the water, full of murderous aura, and his eyes were blazing and vigilant.

"Thief! You beast karma get out of Lao Tzu! Yesterday you dared to ask for Lao Tzu's life, don't you still want to eat Lao Tzu's soul tonight?!"

After speaking, he took the knife and ran on the water, jumped up, and slashed at a duckweed bush with both hands with his knife.

"Whew, until when?!"

When the knife went down, a ravine was immediately cut out of the water, and only a large bubble appeared under the duckweed bush, but there was no trace.

He looked around, and the murderous aura and anger on his body were even worse, and suddenly his thoughts turned, and he played a clever trick, and he turned around and was about to leave Xiangliu Lake. The water monkey hidden in the depths felt that this ghost was very tight, and he didn't dare to touch it, so he wanted to consume him, but he didn't want him to leave his territory.

Shout!

Break through the water and shoot at Xin Shi's vest.

"Hehe!" Xin Shi, who was running back, lowered his head and suddenly sneered, but he still pretended not to know on the surface, and when the ball got closer and closer, his ears moved slightly, and a murderous light flashed from his eyes, Huo Ran turned around, and slashed the knife round.

At the same time, in the moonlight, Xin Shi also saw the appearance of the water ghost clearly—it was a ball covered with green hair and pitch black.

"Kill!"

The blade was like frost, and as it was about to split the thing in half, it suddenly let out a strange crow-like cry from inside.

"Gah!"

Suddenly, all the wet green hairs on the black ball were as straight as steel needles.
