After some investigation, Duan Tianya felt that it must be that guy at work. He was not a river god at all. It might be transformed by monsters. The villagers who live here have been deceived by him for hundreds of years since the Ming and Qing dynasties. He cannot let him do anything wrong, and he must be eradicated. Duan Tianya plans to meet this guy tonight.

Bai Jiangzuo and the others returned to the uncle's house. Bai Jiangzuo and the uncle said: Uncle, do you believe there are monsters and monsters in this world? The uncle was very surprised when he heard Bai Jiangzuo's question. The uncle replied: I don't believe it myself, but when he was a child, he heard the old man talk about some evil things. Now I don't know if there is any of this thing. Besides, our family has lived in Xuanwu Mountain for decades, and I have never heard of any strange things.

Bai Jiangzuo continued to ask: What do you think about the loss of the old girl from the Li family last night? He thought for a long time and said: I don’t know this, maybe he was taken away by human traffickers.

Duan Tianya said: I haven't heard of the traffickers in this village. Besides, it's impossible for the traffickers to go to Lao Li's house to catch people so late. Moreover, the girl should be shouting. Besides, there are dogs in his house, and the dogs will bark when they hear the movement, so that the whole village can hear it.

But there was no movement last night, and a living person disappeared. His wife just now shouted wildly that it was the River God who captured her daughter; don’t you find it strange? The uncle looked at Bai Jiangzuo and the others in surprise.

The uncle said: Is there really a monster in this world? Bai Jiangzuo said: There are all kinds of strange things in this world. If you don’t believe it, there will be really strange things that are difficult to explain. Uncle! Let me tell you this, there is a problem with the river god in your village. That is not a river god, but it may be a monster.

My classmate is planning to go to see it tonight. It is not convenient to see it during the day, and it makes me confused. Why do I rarely see women in this village? Except for the old Li family, everyone else's family is men? The uncle replied: There have been many cases of young wives and young girls missing in the past, and the police did not solve the case, so all the women in the village left and went to relatives' houses in another place, saying that when will the place be stable and then come back.

Duan Tianya saw that the uncle didn't tell the truth just now, but in fact he had already understood what was going on. Bai Jiangzuo said: Uncle, my classmate is going to the temple tonight. I hope you don't tell anyone. The uncle nodded.

Bai Jiangzuo suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, but he didn't know what was good for a moment. He asked the uncle: Is there any fun place nearby? The uncle thought about it and said: In addition to the river outside the village, there is no other ancient charity village in the back mountain.

The fat man asked the uncle what a charity farm was. Liu Xing explained to him: This charity farm was a place where people were released from dead in ancient times to the Republic of China, or people who died in foreign lands had no place to put them there, so they were placed there. It was equivalent to the current morgue. When the fat man heard this, he seemed to be frightened and shivered all over. The fat man said: Ah? It turns out that I still won’t go to the place where people were released from, I want to stay at home.

Bai Jiangzuo and Duan Tianya went out to see each other, and Liu Xing wanted to go, but Bai Jiangzuo agreed. The others were staying at home. Before leaving, Duan Tianya took his cloth bag, all of which were equipped with ghost-catching tools and talisman paper.

Bai Jiangzuo and the other two went out to go straight to the back mountain. Liu Xing asked: Why should we go there to see? What's the good looking there? Duan Tianya said: Look for clues, maybe that guy is there; Liu Xing said: It's impossible that guy doesn't stay in the temple, can he go there? Bai Jiangzuo said: Let's listen to old Duan, let's talk about it when he gets there.

Soon the charity house arrived. The charity house covers a large area, with four large houses, and all the houses in ancient times.

After a hundred years, he still stands so strong. Although it seems broken outside, it is still quite complete. The format of this charity village is like a courtyard house. The door of the charity village is wide open and four open. Bai Jiangzuo and the other two entered the charity village. Liu Xing felt a chill behind him, and he was so terrified in broad daylight.

The courtyard is already overgrown with weeds, but there is a stone in the middle with the words "Spirit Stone" written on it, which may suppress the dead souls here. Bai Jiangzuo was afraid of some reason. He always felt something popping up here. Suddenly a piece of wall soil fell down, which scared Liu Xing. He said: This charity village is too evil, please leave quickly. Bai Jiangzuo said: What are you afraid of if you have old Duan? Old Duan is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts.

At some point, Old Duan entered the front hall, and they followed him in. The incoming was so scary that they retreated, because there were more than a dozen ancient coffins here, and in front of the coffin was a spiritual platform, which worshipped the dead souls here. The front hall was covered with spider webs and dust. Duan Tianya looked around, took out some yellow paper and threw it around. The place where the dead were placed, the strangers should not enter, so putting a few pieces of yellow paper proved that they gave the tickets to these dead people.

Duan Tianya pushed a coffin away, and a bad smell surged up. The three of them looked in. It turned out that a girl was lying inside. The girl was wearing modern clothes and seemed to have just been put in. Duan Tianya touched the girl's carotid artery and was still beating, indicating that she was still alive. Duan Tianya carried the girl out and asked Bai Jiangzuo to carry it. Duan Tianya opened all the coffins here, which were filled with mummies, from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Finally, he closed the coffins.

The three of them left the place with the girl and returned to the village. When the villagers learned that they had found a girl in Houshan Yizhuang, they all ran out to see it. When everyone saw the girl, they recognized her. The uncle said: Is this the girl from Brother Li’s family? Why did they run to the back mountain? How did you find her? Bai Jiangzuo replied: We found her in a coffin in Houshan Yizhuang. Please rest assured that she is still alive.

At this time, the old Li and his wife came and cried when they saw their daughter. However, the old Li and his wife were still very grateful to Bai Jiangzuo and the other two for finding their daughter for them. Duan Tianya said: She was fascinated by ghosts, so she went to Houshan Yizhuang. If she couldn't find it within three days, she would never come back.

When Lao Li and his wife heard that it was something in the charity village, they were very angry and angry. They wanted to go to a torch to burn the charity village, but in the end they stopped them. Since this incident, the villagers have another view of Bai Jiangzuo and the others. Many families have invited them to visit, and some villagers hope that they can help find their missing relatives. Bai Jiangzuo and the others agreed readily.

Bai Jiangzuo and the others took advantage of the day to go to the River God Temple. Before entering the temple, there was a large public hall with a strong man-like stone statue on it. This should be the River God. Duan Tianya despised the stone statue with his eyes and thought to himself: Let you show your true form tonight, and let you be proud for a while. The three of them came out of the temple and saw that there were villagers coming to the temple with tributes. When the villagers saw that it was Bai Jiangzuo and the others, they smiled and said hello.

Duan Tianya asked the villagers to wait for a while. The villagers asked him what he had. Duan Tianya wanted to borrow the tribute to see. Duan Tianya picked up the tribute while Bai Jiangzuo was talking to the villagers. He put some medicine in it. Liu Xing gave it to him, and promised that the monster would get diarrhea. After Bai Jiangzuo talked to the villagers, he left and returned to his uncle's house.

The uncle asked the old girl Li’s family how it was. Duan Tianya said it was already done. She simply did some rituals and burned three talismans. Now it’s normal. The uncle heard that Duan Tianya would do it.

When the ritual asked him what he did, Duan Tianya replied: Before he went to school, he worked as a Taoist priest for several years. Duan Tianya did not tell the truth to him, and he made up a lie and fooled him. The uncle didn't ask.

Time flies so fast. It's night in a blink of an eye. Duan Tianya changed into a night-style dress, took a black iron dagger, and the newly prepared evil-proof medicine given to him by Liu Xing. He went out and came to the gate of the temple. He saw that everything was normal in the temple. The guy had not come yet. In order not to alert the snake, Duan Tianya used his light skills and jumped to the big tree next to the temple to use invisibility techniques to secretly watch the situation in the temple.

At twelve o'clock, the temple suddenly became bright, and I saw a guy coming out of the stone statue. Duan Tianya thought to himself: I've finally waited for you, I'll clean you up today; the guy looked around, picked up the roast chicken on the table and started eating, and there was also a bottle of white wine, drinking it, after eating the roast chicken, and ate other tributes. Not long after he finished eating, Duan Tianya jumped down, took out the black iron dagger, and kicked open the door.

When the guy saw Duan Tianya breaking in, he took out his sword and shouted: Who are you? How dare you break into my territory and disturb me to enjoy the tribute; Duan Tianya replied: I am the one who came to subdue you. Today, you must eliminate you, the monster. If you harm the people here, if God doesn't eradicate you, I will do my best to heaven.

He said angrily: You crazy guy, don't be rude. You will kill you here today, look at the knife. After he said that, he raised his sword and slashed at Duan Tianya. Duan Tianya held a dagger and blocked it, and then kicked it on the guy's weakness. He covered his ribs with a scream, and this kick hurt him. He slashed Duan Tianya wildly. Duan Tianya successfully blocked it and also avoided it.

He was extremely angry and spitted out green liquid from his mouth. Duan Tianya quickly avoided it. The liquid splashed onto the platform, and a large piece of it was scalded. Duan Tianya saw the liquid that this guy sprayed out. He should be a highly poisonous monster. Duan Tianya sneered: Use it if you have any tricks. I will play with you.

He said very angrily: I'm so angry that I'm so angry. You crazy guy, let you taste something even more powerful today. Before he could finish his speech, his stomach seemed a little wrong. He screamed and covered his stomach. Duan Tianya laughed and said: You monster must have eaten unclean food. Do you have diarrhea? He rolled back and forth on the ground and said: You crazy guy must have poisoned the wine and meat. I'm so angry.

Duan Tianya said fiercely: Tell me quickly, where are the women you kidnapped? If you say it, maybe I will let you go to hell. If you don’t say it, I will let you go to hell. This guy said: What kind of woman, there is nothing at all, I didn’t do it. Duan Tianya asked again: Who did that? He replied: It was the mountain demon in the Houshan Yizhuang. He grabbed those women and sucked their yang energy and ate their flesh to increase their magic power. Duan Tianya was shocked. It turned out that there was a big guy. Duan Tianya said: With you, I know how to do it. Until today you must die.

The strong man said loudly: You crazy guy, you don’t keep your promise, it doesn’t matter if I die, there are mountain demon brothers who avenge me. Duan Tianya said fiercely: Go and die. Now, he took out Liu Xing’s potion and sprinkled it on the strong man, and then inserted the dagger into his heart. The strong man suddenly howled miserably, slowly revealing his true form, and then died. When Duan Tianya saw that it turned out to be a wild dog.

He pulled the dog's tail and was about to leave the temple gate. Suddenly the temple began to shake. Duan Tianya quickly ran out. The River God Temple collapsed and disappeared in an instant. Duan Tianya carried the dog demon and returned to the uncle's house.
