After graduating, I became the Dragon King

The Shenmu dragon boat is of great significance to the people of Wucheng. As soon as the news of the theft came out, there was an uproar immediately. All the members of the distraction working group were dispatched to find the whereabouts of the dragon boat, and they had no time to take care of Xue Chen and Jane Lance.

The two of them didn't care, no one was comfortable following them back and forth.

It was the first time for them to visit Yuse Lake, and it was rare for them to be free. After taking a short break, they took advantage of the time to go out to eat, and went for a walk by the lake together.

The Yuse Sea is so vast that it cannot be seen at a glance. The surface of the lake is so clean that it is almost transparent. It is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky.

At this time, it was nearly dusk, and the setting sun was slanting down, and the afterglow dyed half of the lake surface into sparkling red.

Xue Chen and Jane Lance walked slowly, and there happened to be a tour group not far in front of them. The tour guide wearing a red hat held a portable microphone, and reminded the group members to pay attention to safety while introducing the scenery.

"...We will go to the front pier to board a boat to swim in the lake later. Please be careful. Don't get down to play in the water, let alone go into the water. The average water depth of Yuse Sea is more than ten meters. If you accidentally fall is very dangerous.

Even if you can swim, don’t be careless. I’m not alarmist. It is said that there are monsters eating people in the water of Yuse Lake. Even the local fishermen dare not go down easily. In the early years, some old people did not believe in evil and secretly went swimming in the lake. , I have seen several people. "

Hearing what she said, several group members couldn't help asking curiously: "Is there a monster eating people in the water? Is it true?"

"What is it? Water monster? Water ghost?"

"I think it's a water monkey!"

"Water monkey plus one!"

"I knew you would talk about water monkeys." The tour guide was obviously very proficient, and he continued calmly, "This is not a joke. Let's not talk about it. Last year, a tourist accidentally fell, saying that he had won a medal. He was a good swimmer, but he couldn't swim up. Fortunately, a fisherman passed by at that time, and several people worked together to pull him up, but guess what?"

Speaking of this, the tour guide deliberately suppressed his tone, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued with a mysterious face, "It is said that after the tourist was rescued, there was a piece of water grass wrapped around his ankle. After wrapping it around several times, it didn't look like it was accidentally hooked. Moreover, the end of the water plant was very flat, it didn't look like it was torn off, but it seemed to be cut off by something... At that time, some people suspected that the water plant might have been deliberately cut off by the monster at the bottom of the water. cut out and used as a tool."

The tour guide is used to telling stories, and he is very good at exaggerating the atmosphere. Speaking so quietly, he successfully made the group members fearful.

Someone swallowed, "Then, did you explain why this happened later?"

"Yes, are there really monsters in the water?"

"What is it, is there any explanation?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, and the local people in Yusehai don't know either." The tour guide responded, "However, a while ago, a TV station hired experts to film a program. According to expert analysis, Yusehai has a long history and is connected to Dahuang River, there may be large aquatic animals appearing at the bottom of the lake."

The groupmates were not convinced at the time.

"No, isn't it said that aquatic plants are cut flat? Aquatic animals can cut aquatic plants?"

"That's right, it's wrapped around people's ankles several times. What kind of aquatic animal has this ability?"

"One thing to say, this expert is not as good as me. I think he is a water monkey."

"What show is this?"

The tour guide remained calm: "It's the "Out of Science" program group."

Group members: "...that's all right!"

……

Xue Chen and Jane Lance walked by the tour group and happened to hear this story.

"What the hell is a water monkey?" Jane Lance asked curiously, "I often see netizens mentioning it on the Internet."

"Don't take what netizens say seriously. When they say water monkeys, they don't really mean water monkeys." Xue Chen said.

Jane Lance was puzzled: "That's what you're talking about?"

Xue Chen had a deep meaning: "It's just molesting popular science bloggers."

Jane Lance: "..." It's a netizen.

Xue Chen smiled, and said again: "If I really want to say, there are water monkeys, but they are not a specific creature, but the fantasy of the ancients about spirits living in water."

The underwater world is deep and dark, and there are many species unknown to mortals, including all kinds of ghosts in human form.

Ancient people did not have a comprehensive understanding of nature, nor did they have sufficient technical conditions to record the visions they encountered, so they could only pass on word of mouth. Most of the ghosts were born in the wild, and people used to use land creatures to confirm underwater creatures. Over time, they regarded the water spirits with limbs as some kind of "apes" and called them "water monkeys".

Therefore, the rumors about water monkeys in various places are often very different, and even contradictory.Some water monkeys suck blood, eat people's nails and eyes, and some will rescue people who fell into the water to the shore.

This is actually the reason why different spirits have different temperaments.

However, the most well-known kind of "water monkey" is the unjust soul of human beings who died of drowning, that is, water ghosts.

"Water ghosts are a kind of ghosts, called Jiangyao." Xue Chen patiently gave Jane Ranskop.

It is said that the soul of the drowning person will be trapped in the same place, and only by finding a living person as a substitute can he break free and go to reincarnation.

Ghosts who need a substitute are called "伥", so water ghosts are also called "Jiang伥".

It wasn't the first time that Jane Lance had heard of a ghost like a "ghost". The "silver gang" ghost they helped Yang Bing solve before was a kind of ghost.

Ghosts are originally victims, but they are often trapped in the restraint after death. They need to harm others to get relief, so they become perpetrators again, and this cycle repeats, resulting in more tragedies.

Jane Lance pondered for a moment, then asked, "If you don't find a substitute, is there any other way for the water ghost to escape?"

Xue Chen replied casually: "There are, but very few, unless you are lucky enough to meet a virtuous person to help you..."

……

As the two talked and walked, the breeze came slowly from the lake and brushed past their bodies, making people relax unconsciously.

At the same time, there is a seductive aroma floating by.

Xue Chen glanced at the street vendor selling snacks, and asked Jane Lance, "Do you want roasted corn?"

Jane Lance was actually not very interested, but seeing that Xue Chen had already walked to the side of the stall, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I want one too."

There was only one roasted corn left, and it was given to Xue Chen first, and the rest had to be roasted again by the boss.

They had to wait by the side.

Jane Lance looked at the sky light in the distance, and then at the young man in front of him. With a thought, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and took a screenshot of the scenery in front of him.

"Brother, do you like this place so much?" Seeing this, Xue Chen asked teasingly. He had been to so many places with Jane Lance, but he had never seen Jane Lance take a photo before.

Jane Lance gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful."

"Really?" Xue Chen became interested, and leaned over to look at Jane Lance's mobile phone, "Let me see how you are doing."

His movements were too sudden, and it was too late for Jane Lance to hide, so she was a little embarrassed for a while.

I heard Xue Chen say "huh": "Brother's photography skills are very good."

The composition of the photo is very good. It captures the tranquility and distance of Yusehai Lake. The sunset glows red on the lake surface, and it also reflects on the figure on the left.

That figure was Xue Chen. In the photo, he just turned his head to talk to Jane Lance, holding a golden corn in his hand, with a smile on his face, his face was illuminated by the skylight, and his back was hidden in the shadows.

"You took a really good picture of me." Xue Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Send it to me later, I want the original picture."

Jane Lance laughed: "Okay."

When he smiled, Xue Chen unconsciously became agitated again.

Jane Lance was already good-looking. By such a lake, the setting sun was shining on his body, with a sweet smile on his face.

The dragon can't stand it either.

Xue Chen looked at the long eyelashes and deep eyes, and asked suddenly: "Brother, do you like water?"

Jane Lance felt that his question was a bit strange, but she still responded, "It's okay."

Xue Chen was not satisfied with this answer, thought for a while, and asked again: "Do you think Yu Sehai is beautiful?"

Jane Lance nodded: "Pretty."

Xue Chen: "If there were more beautiful waters than Yuse Sea, would you like to live in the water?"

Jane Lance: "...?"

He thought for a minute, then seriously replied, "This is not a question of willingness or not, I don't know how to breathe with my gills."

Seeing that he didn't refuse immediately, Xue Chen's eyes lit up, he looked at him and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to go into the water, I can teach you how to avoid water."

Jane Lance felt that their conversation was too weird, but Xue Chen looked extremely serious, as if they were discussing something that might really happen.

This absurd yet real feeling made him suspicious.

Speaking of which, after he had a conversation with Xue Chen by the Central River that night, he did have more guesses about Xue Chen's true identity.

Xue Chen revealed that he was resurrecting his soul from a dead body, but he did not say what kind of "soul" he was.

Jane Lance's thoughts turned, and many memories flashed in his mind, but before he could sort it out, a scream came from Yuse Sea suddenly.

"Someone fell into the water—"

"Help me, someone fell into the water—"

"Help!"

Xue Chen and Jian Lance were both stunned, and they turned their heads to look at the same time. Their eyesight was very good, and they saw a head floating and sinking on the lake in the distance.

Long's eyesight was better, Xue Chen recognized the man who fell into the water from a long distance, and said with a frown, "It's Yu Chunchun."

Yu Chunchun should be able to swim, his hands kept thumping on the water surface, but it didn't seem to be effective, and his whole body was still spinning in place.

There were two cruise ships parked around her, and the people on the boats tried to reach her with oars, but Yu Chunchun was getting farther and farther away from the boats, and they couldn't pull them at all.

"There's something under the water." Xue Chen's face darkened.

The surface of Yusehai Lake is vast, and it looks calm, but there is a huge shadow at the bottom of the water, grabbing Yu Chunchun's feet.

"I'll save her." As a knight, Jane Lance was bound to face such a thing, and she was about to go to the lake.

Xue Chen grabbed him: "No, I'll do it."

He said the formula in his hand, pointed in the direction of Yu Chuntian, the decree skimmed across the water, and fell down, the black shadow in the water trembled suddenly, let go of Yu Chunchun's ankle, quickly dived into the deeper water, and disappeared .

Yu Chunchun got rid of the shackles, and finally swam to the side of the boat, and was pulled aboard. After a while, the boat docked at the pier.

Xue Chen and Jane Lance rushed to the pier. Yu Chunchun was still in shock, his legs were still weak, and he got out of the boat with help.

The staff of the scenic spot hurried over and asked nervously, "Little girl, do you need to go to the hospital?"

Yu Chunchun shook his head: "No, I'm fine, just take a rest."

Xue Chen gave her a hand and said, "Let's take you back."

When Yu Chunchun saw it was them, he was a little surprised for a moment, but he still shook his head: "I don't need to trouble you, I can do it myself..."

"You can't." Xue Chen said, "Things at the bottom of the water will find you."

Yu Chunchun was taken aback when he heard the words: "What?"

Xue Chen looked down: "Look at your feet."

Yu Chunchun was a little puzzled. When he looked down, he saw that there was still a water plant wrapped around his ankle. When he looked closely, the water plant was neatly wrapped several times. It definitely didn't look like it was accidentally hooked.

Yu Chunchun is a local, and naturally knows all kinds of rumors about Yu Sehai, her face suddenly changed: "This is..."

Xue Chen was thoughtful: "This time it should be a water monkey."

Yu Chunchun: "..."

Jane Lance: "..."

The author has something to say:

So, what do you think this time?

I made up the origin of the water monkey, and it has no real basis!

The ghosts still refer to "Talking about Ghosts"
