"Old Yang, hold on, let's set off right now!" Qianqiu said to Yang Xian while hurriedly activating the contract talisman that cultivated the blade horse deep in the pool.
After a burst of white smoke, the Blade Horse appeared in front of him.
"Xiao Dao, it's been a long time since I last saw you! There's no time to catch up on old times, and now I have something urgent to do with you." Qianqiu said to Xiao Dao anxiously.
Xiaodao raised his hoof and raised his voice, indicating that he understood Qianqiu's words.
Qianqiu put Yang Xian on Xiaodao's back and said: "Let's go! Let's go to Wuxia Town to rest for one night. Lao Yang, I will find some herbs for you then. No matter what, let's suppress this spiritual power first."
The mountain road is rugged, and the knife steps like the wind, as if walking on flat ground.
Qianqiu is also on his way with all his strength. At this time, he just wants to rush to Wuxia Town as soon as possible to treat Qianqiu.
Just after climbing over two hills, trouble started.
I saw an extremely wide river in front of me, with fast currents.
Qianqiu thought about how there was no such water flow a few days ago, but now it is.
At this time, Yang Xian, who was kneeling on the Blade Horse, said: "I am afraid that the heavy rains in the past few days have washed away the original river and further spread to both sides of the river bank."
In normal times, Qianqiu and Yang Xian would have crossed the river no matter how wide it was.
However, not only was there a sword horse, but Yang Xian was also injured, so it was impossible to cross the river directly.
"Brother Frog, can you do me a favor?" Qianqiu's voice came in.
But a message came from Xiuwei Pond: "Qianqiu, there is something in the water, please take a detour."
Before Qianqiu could react, he only heard the sound of water waves getting louder and louder in his ears.
"Run!" Qianqiu hurriedly pulled the sword horse and retreated.
The Blade Horse carried Yang Xian on its back and ran very quickly, jumping out of the raging river in a few steps.
When Qianqiu looked back, he found that the river in front of him was much wider.
"There must be something fishy in this water!" Qian Qiuxin said, "I'd better listen to the strange frog and take a detour."
When Qianqiu looked along the river but could not see the end, he looked at Yang Xian who was lying on the horse and was in a lot of pain after eating the Jue Guo by mistake.
"Brother Frog, if we have to take a detour, it's too far. I'd better cross the river directly." Qianqiu sent a message back.
The strange frog said: "That's okay, but I'm afraid that the thing in the water won't let you pass."
"Brother Frog, what is in the water? It looks a little weird to me, but I don't know what it is." Qianqiu asked.
The strange frog said: "Water ghost."
"What water ghost? Is it a spiritual beast?" Qianqiu asked excitedly.
The strange frog thought for a moment and replied: "No, it's a monster."
When Qianqiu heard this, he was shocked and asked: "Is he the kind of water ghost who is so entangled in resentment after death that he refuses to go to the underworld and turns into a ghost to cause harm to the world?"
"That's right." The strange frog said, "There are at least hundreds of water ghosts in this river. They only wait for you to get into the river..."
Thinking that he almost fell into the river just now, Qianqiu felt a little scared at the moment. Although he was said to be able to subdue monsters and catch them, he was still a little afraid of the monster that this person turned into after his death.
After calming down for a while, Qianqiu looked upstream and said through a message: "Brother Frog, there are so many outstanding people in Dongfang Mountain, why are there so many resentful water ghosts? What's more worth thinking about is why so many people died. ?”
The strange frog said: "Then it depends on whether you are willing to take care of this matter. After all, I am not some magical spiritual beast and cannot know the world's affairs."
Qianqiu looked at Xian Yang, who looked very unhappy, and said, "I'm afraid that Lao Yang won't be able to hold on."
The strange frog suggested: "It will take at least a day and a half to get to Wuxia Town from here. There are so many water ghosts here, and there may be many people upstream. There is no cure for the cut grass. If you want to relieve Mr. Yang's pain, If you feel so much pain, you might as well try your luck upstream."
Qianqiu thought it made sense, so he said, "Lao Yang, let's go upstream to see our luck."
He casually called for a knife, and just as he was about to walk upstream, he heard someone talking in the water.
"Little brother...hehehehe..."
Even though it was a clear sky and a white sun, it was very scary to see someone talking but not see anyone in the water, and it made people feel cold on their backs.
Yang Xian looked back at Qianqiu and said softly: "Ignore him. As long as we don't touch the water, the water ghost can't do anything to us."
Qianqiu asked: "Old Yang, how did you know it was a water ghost?"
Yang Xian's lips turned white with pain, and he said: "The river suddenly widened, making waves in the water, and what could it be if it wasn't a water ghost that only increased the power of the water?"
"It's better to study and know so much." Qianqiu sighed and just walked forward.
Someone spoke again in the water: "Little brother, don't go, just cross the river."
Another voice said: "Yes, you cross the river, and we promise not to harm you."
After a while, another female voice appeared: "Little brother, don't worry, we won't harm good people."
Finally, a hoarse voice appeared and said: "Seeing that this little brother is a practitioner and has been practicing for a long time, we will definitely not deceive you."
Yang Xian motioned for Qianqiu to come closer.
Qianqiu nodded, moved farther away from the river, and walked to Xiaodao's side.
Yang Xian whispered: "Brother Qian, I have a good friend in the Holy City who specializes in studying ghosts. He once told me that the monsters this person turns into after death are somewhat different. For example, these water ghosts will lose their original appearance." Some people's human nature has become extremely cunning, and they only care about finding a replacement body. They don't care whether you are a practitioner or not, as long as they can drag you into trouble, it is enough."
Qianqiu nodded while listening, and then asked: "Can this monster only live in water?"
"Yes, although this monster is powerful, it can only stay in the water and cannot come to the shore." Yang Xian said.
The few people in the water saw that Qianqiu was indifferent to their words. They were a little patient at first, but then they began to change their faces when they saw that Qianqiu was not getting enough.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so timid. He wouldn't even dare to cross a river."
"Yeah, what a coward."
"It seems that this disciple of the Eastern Sect is not very good. He is very timid."
Qianqiu walked for a while, but did not take these nagging words into his heart. Instead, he asked: "How did you die? How could so many people die at once?"
The water suddenly became quiet.
After only a moment, the water in the river seemed to be boiling, bubbling constantly.
Qianqiu hurriedly stepped aside, fearing that the water would splash on him.
Yang Xian smiled and said: "Brother Qian, you have angered them."
Qianqiu looked at the river with a puzzled face and said with a bitter smile: "I was wronged. I just asked why they were killed."
Yang Xian explained: "I told you earlier that these water ghosts are the unyielding ghosts. The cause of their death should be drowning."
Qianqiu finally came to his senses and said, "I'm confused too. The water ghost didn't die of drowning, otherwise how could he turn into a water ghost?"
Qianqiu glanced at the river again and said, "Don't be excited. I will go to where you live to find out the reason."
The sound of water in my ears became quieter.
Qianqiu continued to walk forward.
At this time, someone spoke again in the water.
"Boy, don't seek death! If you want to seek death, you might as well come down and be a substitute for us!"
"It's not like no one helped us in the past, we just wanted to kill each one of them!"
"I don't know who caused this crime."
"Boy, what about you! We told you to stop! Hurry up and get down to the river with the boy on the stupid horse."
The sounds in the water came and went.
Qianqiu said without turning his head: "Even if I can't help you, I have to find a village first. My brother is in urgent need of medical treatment."
The water ghosts continued to fight.
"Boy, you're going to die sooner or later. You might as well come down and help us out."
"I don't know where our village is for a long time. Where are you going to find it?"
"This kid probably only knows how to brag, and he won't live long like the sick kid on the horse."
Qianqiu felt a little angry and said: "You are the sick boys, you are all damn ghosts!"
As soon as these words came out, these water ghosts in the water gave up and started making trouble again, saying evil things to Qianqiu.
"You said I can, but you can't talk about my brother." Qianqiu cursed angrily.
The water ghost said cheerfully: "Boy, stop being so hypocritical. This is what you humans are best at."
Qianqiu smiled and said, "You speak as if you were not a human before."
"I used to be a human, but now I'm a ghost." The water ghost argued.
At this moment, Qianqiu saw a small village not far away.
Qianqiu smiled happily and said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, there is a village ahead. I will go find some herbs and suppress the aura of the cutting grass for you."
"Thank you so much, brother Qian, I'm much better." Yang Xian raised his head and thanked him.
Qianqiu couldn't help but glare at Yang Xian and scolded with a smile: "Old Yang, if I hadn't seen you sick, I would have taught you a lesson. I told you before, what's the use of thanking you and me, brother?"
Yang Xian nodded and said no more words.
After walking a few steps forward, Qianqiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lao Yang, have you noticed that the water ghost is gone?"
Yang Xian stood up and said, "Since we saw the village, all the water ghosts seem to have disappeared."
"Could their deaths be related to that village?" Qianqiu guessed.
Yang Xian said: "Although they said they wanted you to go into the water as a substitute, why did they mention that you went to the village to seek death? There may be problems in this village. Qian brothers should be careful."
"Yes." Qianqiu agreed and walked forward.
The two of them stood at the entrance of the village.
I saw that the village in front of me was in a dilapidated state, with piles of weeds placed randomly. There was not even a decent village sign in this village. Looking into the village from the door, we can see a lot of filthy things in front of many houses. ,
Qianqiu covered her mouth and nose, looked around and found that there was no water source around the village. The source of the river was on another mountain.
Qianqiu said to Yang Xian: "I never expected that Dongfang Mountain, a land of outstanding people, would have such a dilapidated place."
Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, why don't we go in? I can still survive and go around to Wuxia Town."
Qianqiu asked: "Lao Yang, let me ask you, when have you ever seen so many water ghosts in the water?"
Yang Xian replied: "I have never seen this before. Generally speaking, when water ghosts enter the river with resentment, they are murdered and died. I can understand one or two, but this is the first time I have seen so many. .”
Qianqiu said: "That's right. So many people were killed at the same time, and these water ghosts seemed to be very afraid and disdainful to mention the reasons for their murders. Don't we need to worry about this? But these are actually not very important. The most important thing at this moment is Let me get you some herbs first."
Yang Xian thought over and over again and said, "Well, thank you for the hard work, brother Qian."
Qianqiu waved his hand and walked in.
After bypassing some dirty things, Qianqiu walked into this small village.
Compared to the dilapidated situation outside, the inside of the village is obviously much better. The houses and the like also look relatively new, but there are a lot of blood stains on the ground.
