Chapter 38 Li Xin
"Are you going to eat or not? What do you want to do?" Liu Jun felt bad. This girl was also drunk. She had a small appetite and was full after a few mouthfuls. After eating, he kept staring at Liu Jun. Although Liu Jun is a bit thick-skinned, he doesn't like being stared at while eating.
"It's nothing, I'm just wondering why you are different from other Taoist priests." Li Xin continued to look at Liu Jun and said.
"What a Taoist priest, I don't understand. If you don't say anything, just sit here slowly and let's go." Liu Jun pretended to get up and leave.
"No, no, you are a person. Others are eager to chat with beautiful women, but you still dislike it. I know a place is haunted." Li Xin said quickly.
"Tell me about it," Liu Jun sat down and asked after being silent for a while. It's not that he wants to hear her ghost stories, it's just that Liu Jun can't bear to part with the delicious food on the table.
“Do you know about water ghosts? There is a water ghost in a place that has killed several people.”
Water ghosts are a kind of water ghost in Chinese folklore. It is the ghost left by a person who accidentally died in the water or committed suicide in the rivers, lakes and seas, and cannot be reincarnated to harm people. They secretly wander under the water, and then drag the living person into the water and drown him, becoming its scapegoat. It can be reincarnated and is also known as the Water Monkey.
Liu Jun knew about this water ghost, but if Li Xin was really saying that the water ghost was harming people, how could he have harmed several people? One scapegoat was enough. There must be something fishy about this.
"Is what you said true? Are you sure it's a water ghost?" Liu Jun was a little interested. He didn't know why, but now he felt like he was addicted to catching ghosts.
"Are you kidding? If I were sure, would I still be alive to talk to you?" Li Xin gave Liu Jun a big eye roll.
"Although I'm not sure, I can take you to make sure." Liu Jun felt that this was Li Xin's purpose.
"Okay, let's go when." Liu Jun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go.
"Just in the afternoon, just in time for us to finish our meal and tidy up before we can set off." Li Xin looked anxious, and Liu Jun seriously doubted whether she was arranged by the water ghost to find a substitute.
Li Xin didn’t stare at Liu Jun this time. Liu Jun took the time to finish his meal, went to the store with Fatty to get some more charms, and then took the little fox with him. After picking up Li Xin, they Drive to the place Li Xin said.
Li Xin said the place after getting in the car, and Liu Jun knew that place. There is a big river there. A section of the river was once contracted by a sand field, and large pits were dug. The pits were at least four to five meters deep. After several people died, the superiors stopped allowing sand mining to continue.
It took a full two hours of driving to see the big river. Li Xin said that he had to go up the river and drove until he reached a mountain village before stopping. This place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, feels like a paradise.
Li Xin took them towards the village and stopped when they saw an old house and knocked on the door.
"Uncle Wang, I am Li Xin, are you at home?"
After a while, an old man opened the door, looked at Liu Jun and the others, and said nothing.
"Uncle Wang, my two friends are very curious about the water ghost. Can you tell me more?" Li Xin said and handed over two big red bills.
Uncle Wang opened the door this time and motioned for them to go in. There is a wheelbarrow in the yard, and there is a lot of thatch next to it. When they walked to the back room, Uncle Wang asked them to sit down and started talking about the water ghost.
The first person to drown in the river was none other than Uncle Wang’s son, Wang Dazhuang. It is said that there were water ghosts in big rivers before, but Wang Dazhuang didn't believe it either.
It was summer, the sun was extremely poisonous, the temperature was so high that people were almost burning out from the sun. Wang Dazhuang was cleaning buckets of muddy water by the river. Suddenly he heard someone calling for help in the river. When he looked up, he saw that someone seemed to be drowning in the middle of the river. Wang Dazhuang himself is also a kind-hearted person and has good water qualities. He took off his clothes and swam towards the drowning man in the middle of the river. When he swam to that place, the drowning man disappeared. Wang Dazhuang didn't think too much and plunged in. He thought the man was drowning.
After searching carefully underwater for a while, nothing was found. When Wang Dazhuang was about to swim to the surface to take a breath, he suddenly felt something bite his leg. The river water seemed to become cold all of a sudden, so cold that it seemed that his bones were being eroded by the cold air. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. In this way, Wang Dazhuang sank to the bottom of the river. Not long after Wang Dazhuang's death, Zhang Xiaohu from the same village often came home late because he loved drinking. One night, I don't know whether Zhang Xiaohu drank too much or was possessed by ghosts. He wandered to the river and accidentally fell into the river. This scene happened to be seen by Uncle Wang who was burning paper in memory of his son. Uncle Wang hurriedly ran over to pull it, but no matter how hard he pulled it, he couldn't move it.
Uncle Wang took a closer look and found that there was a black shadow pulling Zhang Xiaohu on Zhang Xiaohu's leg. Uncle Wang was startled, and as soon as he loosened his grip, Zhang Xiaohu was dragged into the water and disappeared.
Later, someone would be lost in the village every once in a while, and the bones would be found in the river. People in the village are saying that it is a water ghost seducing souls looking for a scapegoat.
Although what Uncle Wang said was quite reasonable, Liu Jun always had a weird feeling that he couldn't explain.
It's night time. Li Xin must be very familiar with this place, and he can actually call the village chief here. When they set out to Dahe to check the situation in the evening, the village chief also brought people to help.
When we walked to the big river, the light of the torches was reflected on the sparkling river. The breeze rippled the river water, and the shadows of the torches flickered and trembled slightly. Thinking that this river has swallowed up several lives, this scene is not only not beautiful, but also a bit scary.
Liu Jun took out the cow's tears and wiped them on. After thinking about it, he asked the village chief and Uncle Wang to put it on too. Then he took out a talisman and threw it out.
"Thunder from the sky rushes to the fire from the earth, destroying the evil in the world, hurrying like a law, go" The moment the talisman flew to the river, there were ghosts and shadows. There are seven ghost figures in total, one, two and three.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, how many of us drowned in total?" Liu Jun pushed the village chief, and the old man was very frightened.
"Seven, seven." The village chief just finished speaking tremblingly. I saw Uncle Wang slumped on the ground, shouting repeatedly not to come over, I didn't mean to harm you.
Liu Jun looked up and saw that the seven ghost figures had come ashore. Five of them looked at Uncle Wang with hatred, but two ghost figures stood in front of Uncle Wang. It was Wang Dazhuang, Uncle Wang's son, and Zhang Little tiger.
Just when the five ghosts were about to tear Uncle Wang, his son and Zhang Xiaohu into pieces, Liu Jun walked up.
"Uncle Wang, tell me. If you don't tell me how you killed these five people, your son and Zhang Xiaohu may have lost their souls in order to protect you and cannot enter the reincarnation."
< br>It turns out that the day before Zhang Xiaohu’s accident, Uncle Wang dreamed of his son Wang Dazhuang who entrusted him with the dream. He said that he had become a drowned ghost and had to find a scapegoat, otherwise he would not be able to be reborn.
So Uncle Wang ran to the river the next night, the night when Zhang Xiaohu’s accident happened, and burned paper. It happened that Zhang Xiaohu lost his footing and fell into the water. Uncle Wang rescued him and encountered the black shadow. Later, Uncle Wang thought that the black shadow was his son who had become a water ghost.
On the third night after Zhang Xiaohu's accident, Uncle Wang dreamed again that his son was looking for a scapegoat. So, Uncle Wang went out at night, and when he found a lonely person, he knocked him unconscious, pushed him to the river in a cart, and fed the shadow. Just like that, five people were killed.
The village chief also slowly regained his composure and directed the villagers to tie up Uncle Wang first. Liu Jun looked at these ghost figures.
"Those who harm you will naturally be punished by law. You can reincarnate with peace of mind. As for Wang Dazhuang and Zhang Xiaohu, things in the underworld have their own way of dealing with matters in the underworld. You two can't get involved, so hurry up and reincarnate." Without waiting for their reaction, Liu Jun directly took out the Good and Evil Order and saved them.
As for why Liu Jun immediately liberated them, the reason was that the five ghosts showed signs of changing into evil ghosts after seeing Uncle Wang. If five evil ghosts were transformed, including Liu Jun himself, it is estimated that Neither can survive.
The drowned ghost is gone, but the dark shadow that Uncle Wang mentioned must still be there.
