Chapter 44 Water Ghost

Heishui Village is a very small village with only a few dozen families. The dilapidated thatched huts and wooden houses are sparsely located around the banks of the Heishui River.

The Heishui River turns a corner here and forms an open river surface. The turbid river water turns light black, probably the origin of the name Heishui River.

Several small fishing boats were stranded on the river beach, with some dried fish and broken nets drying on wooden racks, looking bleak.

Several fishermen led Zhang Luochen and others to the bank of the river and pointed to the river, "Immortal Master, the water ghost is hiding in this section of the river. Whenever a pedestrian passes by, he drags people down the river and drowns. Now several people have died. If they encounter fishing boats, they will overturn them with the people and the boats."

Zhang Luochen looked at the river for a while and thought to himself that he was really helpless in this situation, but fortunately there was the Yellow Turban Strongman.

Just recite the mantra.

"The Supreme Emperor has granted the title, and the response will never stop. The Yellow Turban Strongman, please respect my order. The heavenly soldiers are recruited, hurry up and follow the law!"

A golden light flashed, and the figure of the Yellow Turban Strongman appeared in front of everyone.

"The Yellow Turban Strongman Gong Feng came to his post and asked the Immortal Master to give an order."

As expected, an expert knew if there was any one. As soon as the Yellow Turban Strongman summoned him, he immediately calmed the fishermen present. This thing had never been seen by anyone. They all looked at Zhang Luochen with the eyes of the gods.

Zhang Luochen maintained a masterful look and pointed to the Heishi River, "Gong Feng, there is a water ghost in the river that harms people. Go down and catch it for me."

The Yellow Turban Strongman clasped his fists and walked directly towards the river. The Yellow Turban Strongman hesitated that he belonged to the Yin God and could ignore the physical collision volume and drill into the water directly.

After a short while, the river surface not far away suddenly surged, and then a black humanoid monster suddenly emerged from the river and swam rapidly on the river surface, as if flying close to the water surface.

The Yellow Turban Strongman followed behind and chased him all the way, but the monster swam rapidly in the water and threw the Yellow Turban Strongman away.

Oh, I actually want to run away, you can run away.

However, Zhang Luochen drew the Shui Sword in his hand and pinched the sword technique with his left hand - "Flying Sword Technique!"

The three flying sword phantoms immediately appeared around him.

Skills like Spirit Fire and Flying Sword are all locked attack skills.

"Go!" As Zhang Luochen raised his hand and pointed, the three flying swords immediately shot towards the water ghost like a guided missile. The water ghost wanted to drill into the water, but it was too late. He was pierced by three swords and six holes, and his speed suddenly slowed down.

The Yellow Turbans rushed forward and caught the water ghost in one go. Zhang Luochen was about to order to kill the water ghost directly, but suddenly, a cry came from a thatched hut in the distance.

"Show mercy to the master, show mercy to the master, that water ghost is not a bad person." A man with a bruised face struggled to run from the hut, with a broken rope tied to his hand, obviously he had just been freed from the bondage.

The fishermen before changed their faces when they saw this. The old man who led the team glared at the two fishermen beside him, "What did you two do? Why did you get him out? Why don't you drag him down quickly."

The two fishermen were about to step forward, and the man with a bruised face was also about to fight for his life, but Zhang Luochen yelled hurriedly.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The immortal master gave the order and it worked so well, and the few people were frozen in place.

Zhang Luochen waved to the Yellow Turban Strongman.

"Gong Feng, quickly catch the water ghost and wait for me to fall."

The Yellow Turban Strongman received the order and dragged the water ghost to the shore.

He put the water ghost on the ground and threw it into a firm shape.

The people of this association could finally see clearly the appearance of the water ghost. This thing looks a bit like a human, with limbs and facial features, but the palms and soles of the feet are webbed, the skin is fine scales, the eyes are round and big, the mouth is covered with sharp teeth, and the fins are like fish behind the head, which looks like a strange feeling of a Cthulhu cult monster.

Even though he was shot by a few holes by the flying sword, his wound was still grinning and not honest at all.

Zhang Luochen felt a little nauseous when he saw it, thinking that this thing is still a good person? What a joke.

He glanced at it with the Sky Eye Technique and said it was a red-known monster.

But it is not called a water ghost, but is called [Water Monkey (Shui Ghost): Level 9.]

"That man, get up and talk. What's going on? Why are you tied up and why did you let me spare the life of this monster? Let me tell you one by one."

The man with a bruised face bent down and bowed, "Report to the immortal master, the youngest is called Xu Laoshi. This matter will start a few months ago. This is the matter--" Then he told the story one by one.

Xu Laoshi was a fisherman from Heishui Village. That day, he accidentally caught two big fish in the river, so he went to the town to sell some money and bought a pot of wine. He sat alone on the bow of the boat and drank a few sips. When he was halfway through, he felt drunk and accidentally dropped the pot into the river.

For a fisherman, this half bottle of wine is also a good thing. It was a pity that he could not help but mutter a few words to the river.

The general idea is, "Ghosts drowned in the river, I treat this wine as a treat for you. I will bless me to catch more fish in the future."

Originally, it was just a casual word, but after a moment, a half-human and half-ghost monster came out of the river. The monster actually spoke, "I was the wronged soul who died of falling into the water. I loved drinking the most during my lifetime. If you invited me to drink this half pot of wine today, I will definitely repay you. When you fish again, you will know."

Xu Laoshi was almost frightened and couldn't even speak. He watched the water ghost crawl back into the water.

The next day, Xu Laoshi didn't even dare to go fishing, but as a fisherman, he had to starve to death without fishing. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go down the river to catch fish. It's strange that since that day, Xu Laoshi's harvest has been surprisingly good and he returns with a full load every time.

Xu Laoshi knew what was going on, so he brought a pot of wine every now and then drank half of it himself, throwing the remaining half into the river, and even saying a few words casually.

This was originally a blessing for him, but the luck of some people was the misfortune of others. There were only so many fish caught in the river. As he got more, others naturally beat less. Moreover, whenever Xu Laoshi did some secret things, he would pay attention to the people in the village.

Once when he was pouring wine by the river, the water ghost came out to meet him again, but he asked a child in the village to see it. When he went back, he told his parents and elders at home.

As soon as the people in the village decided how could this good thing be taken by Xu Laoshi alone? He found an opportunity to get Xu Laoshi drunk and then took him to throw the wine pot into the river.

When the water ghost came out, the people who had been ambushed rushed up and used a fishing net to drag the water ghost to the shore.

Although this water ghost has a physical body, it is still a ghost after all and cannot be ashore for a long time. Everyone threatens the water ghost and must drive away the fish for everyone to increase the fish catch, otherwise it will be allowed to die alive.

The water ghost was also afraid of death, so he naturally had to agree.

But the people in the village were still worried, so they tied it with a chain to prevent it from escaping.

After Xu Laoshi sobered up, he was very regretful. Later, he found an opportunity to release the water ghost.

Although everyone was disappointed, they had no choice but to beat Xu Hushi.

I originally thought that the matter was over, but I didn’t know that not long after, the people in the village began to disappear one by one. People would fall into the water and drown every now and then never float up again. Later, the people in the village found something was wrong and finally started asking for help outside.

Xu Laoshi was also locked up by the people in the village because he let the water ghost go.

At this point, the story finally became clear.

Xu honestly said indignantly, "Immortal Master, tell me if they did this wrong? This water ghost was originally in peace with us and was a good monster who was grateful for his kindness, but was caught by these greedy ghosts who were blinded by money. The water ghost also did the murders for revenge. The people who killed them were the people who caught it, so I asked the immortal master to be the leader and let it go."

But the fishermen also shouted, "There are only so many fish catches in the river, and the water ghost has rushed into the net for you. Would we starve to death?"
