"A water ghost with a lingering soul?!"

Hearing that the invisible ghost was in front of him, Song Ci suddenly stood up, fixed his eyes on the one-eyed man who called himself Shi Wu, and hissed, "Is there really a ghost in this world?"

It’s not that she made a fuss over a molehill, but she has never been lucky enough to come across any evidence that can prove that this world has magical powers. No matter how wonderful the gentleman in the teahouse said, it was just a picture book.

Now that things have happened, who would have thought that just because he rescued an old farmer who was dying at the beginning, he would have achieved a turning point that can be called a bright future without any effort.

Could it be that this is the so-called providence in the dark?

Song Ci was so happy that the daughter-in-law of the Shi family who was still struggling to support her was immediately frightened to death by the ferocious snake head that suddenly appeared in front of her. Even Shi Erlang, who thought he was used to seeing blood, couldn't help but shed cold sweat. Said Shi Dalang, who was already timid.

"Oh, what a hassle!"

Song Cichao took a few steps back, and asked Xiao Hong to grab a few vermilion pills and send them over, "These health pills are just an apology for bumping into the family."

Da Lang and Er Lang hurriedly thanked the pale-faced wives and fed them into their mouths. Seeing that their breathing was smooth and their cheeks flushed, they gave the remaining two pills to Old Man Shi to save his life later.

The old man Shi took the pills and did not forget to take the peach, "Hurry up and send the two daughters-in-law to the house, I will take care of you in front of your benefactor."

After a lot of fuss, Song Ci asked only when there were only three Shi family father and son left in the house, "Erlang, tell me about the Shihe water ghost in detail, and you must not hide or cheat."

"The villain is still waiting for benefactor to save his life, how can he deliberately deceive him."

Shi Erlang was sitting with a sullen face, telling all the strange things since he returned to his hometown, "My benefactor doesn't know, although my family has lived in Dashi Village for generations, but on the other side of the Shihe River, there are people from the same family. It is Xiaoshi Village of the Shi surname clan. It stands to reason that the two villages, big and small, are descended from the same ancestor, and they should have lived in harmony. With their protection, the two villages will inevitably be involved in the issue of corvee and taxation. In addition, in every disaster year, the middle-aged young people of the two villages will inevitably go to war for the water source. The young people have no importance, and the hatred will naturally become more and more serious. The deeper the knot."

Speaking of this matter, the old man Shi, who was streaming with muddy tears, couldn't help but said sadly: "If it wasn't for the tribal elders of Xiaoshi Village who made a trip, my son wouldn't have to be sent to serve in the military. Fortunately, he was blind in one eye and survived. "

Is it lucky to be blind?

Song Ci originally wanted their father and son to get to the point quickly, but he couldn't bear to interrupt when he heard this.

Suo Xing Shi Erlang is not a person without winks, and immediately said the part that benefactor is most concerned about, "This time I returned home due to an injury, and I brought back another relic of a brother named Shi. Although that brother lives in Xiaoshi Village But he was the one who had no relatives, no reason, and no one to rely on, so he was forced to go to the battlefield just like me. I was worried about his family and had no one to take care of him, so I went to the other side of the river as soon as I returned home. Brother Shi's wife and children kept silent, and some people said that she ran away with the salesman with the child in her arms. Although the lady is not a daughter of a wealthy family, she is deeply in love with my brother and has a son. How could she do such a thing? It is a matter of immorality. Recalling that my brother once said that when he left home, he was afraid that their orphans and widows would be bullied by the clansmen. Home. Who would have known that when we got there, the lady of the Shi family had died more than a month ago!"

"died?"

Song Ci turned his head to look, "Did she commit suicide after hearing the news of her husband's death, or was she murdered?"

"Neither."

Shi Erlang sighed and said: "The lady of the Shi family drowned alive."

"Drown?"

Song Ci spat out the snake-spitting letter, "Could this be the origin of the stone river water ghost?"

Recalling the hard-fated mother and son, Shi Erlang punched the table bitterly, "It's all the fault of those Shi family members who are like snakes and scorpions. If I came back half a month earlier, I wouldn't be able to bother my benefactor! The Shi family members received After the news of Brother Shi's death, Madam Shi was forced to hand over a few acres of Susukida in the family, and told her to live on the support of the clan in the future. They said it was support, but no one knew that they just wanted to occupy the family property, and they really wanted to succeed. There is no need to care about orphans and widowed mothers. In order to avoid the entanglement of her tribe, Shi Niangzi ran out of Xiaoshi Village with her baby in her arms, and wanted to cross the river and return to her natal family to take refuge. You know, the reason why the river was named Shihe is because the river The bottom is covered with moss-covered boulders, and it is easy to slippery when walking carefully on weekdays, not to mention the situation of Shi Niangzi at that time."

"Oh, it can be seen that Shi Niangzi must not survive."

Song Ci couldn't bear to ask anymore, but there was a hint of expectation, "That kid?"

Shi Erlang's one eye turned red, "Before she fell into the water, Lady Shi threw her child to the shore with all her strength, and begged the desperate Shi family members in the ups and downs, begging them to give the child a way out. Those beasts The promise was good at the time, but the child still died half a month later. It is said that when he fell to the ground, he injured his inner abdomen and was frightened and had a high fever.

"It really is worse than a beast!"

Song Ci, furious in his heart, flicked his tail, stirring up the dust in the room, "Although we are beasts, we are ashamed to be with such villains!"

"Don't be annoyed, benefactor!"

Shi Erlang vented his anger and said sadly: "Those wicked people think they are ignorant of the gods and ghosts when they do evil things, but they don't know that the law of heaven is good for reincarnation, and their own creditors will come to punish them! No one would have thought that it would be the night of the child's burial. Well, the lady from the Shi family, who could not be salvaged in Xiaoshi Village, actually crawled out of the water to look for them! This is a family scandal. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on Xiaoshi Village, I wouldn't have known about it from those swindling monks and Taoists. The truth. From that night onwards, every day at dawn, a member of the Shi family will be found drowned on the bed, and the family of the dead will also have a young child taken away by the water ghost."

"According to what you said, it has been more than half a month now, isn't it true that there are more than a dozen children who don't know whether they are alive or dead?"

Song Ci didn't know whether to say that Lady Shi was cruel or that her life was bitter, "The government never asked?"

"Why didn't the government send someone to inquire, and even Wu Zuo has come here many times."

Shi Erlang just sighed, "How can the dirty things in the village be hidden from the eyes of the old man? Knowing that it was the ghost who claimed his life, those yamen servants ran faster than the Taoist priests, and no one cares about the murder case in Xiaoshi Village. In my opinion, the people in Xiaoshi Village are immortal, and Shi Niangzi is unwilling to stop. The reason why Erlang dared to ask his benefactor for help is firstly to pity those innocent children, no matter how evil their parents do, the children are always unaware; secondly It's because I don't want to watch Shi Niangzi end up filled with grievances and lose her soul!"

Since there are fake Taoists in this world, they will naturally have the power to master the profound Taoism, and it will fall into their hands. Even if Shi Niangzi is full of grievances, so what?

Unlike benefactor who is a different kind but still has kind thoughts, if Mrs. Shi is willing to stop at this point, she may still be able to keep her chance to be reborn as a human being.

"Yes, no matter what, children are always innocent."

Song Ci looked up at the sky, "When do water ghosts usually appear?"

Seeing that the benefactor is willing to rescue, Shi Erlang said happily: "Every day is around the third watch, no matter how the people in Xiaoshi Village take precautions, they will fall asleep without knowing anything about it."

"Since that's the case, let's go there tonight and see how that water ghost drowns a living person on the bed."

After she finished speaking, she looked down at Shi Jiazi, who was tall and straight, "Do you dare to walk with me?"

"I am obliged to do so!"

Shi Erlang stood up and saluted, "Boy, there are still relics left by the brothers of the Shi family here. Maybe Lady Shi will be able to bring back a trace of clarity when she sees it."

After setting the departure time, Song Ci lay back on the mat and closed his eyes to rest.

It is not difficult for her to trap Shi Niangzi. Even if she can't use the clarinet to drive away the evil spirits, there are still many charms in the ring that she bought from Ma Xiaoling.

At least her decades of service to the people of Hong Kong were not in vain. Whether it was a sharp weapon for catching ghosts or a magic weapon for eliminating zombies, she had saved enough money.

Now we only need to see whether the children who have been taken away are dead or alive. If Mrs. Shi did not do her best, she can be given a chance to be saved; if the child cannot be saved, even if Song Ci is willing to spare her, the ghost The eighteen levels of hell in the mansion are no joke.

It's better to just lose your soul and lose your soul, rather than being in a frying pan for life after life.

Song Ci, who was crooked in the main room, was closing his eyes and contemplating what to do with Mrs. Shi, and the daughter-in-law of the Shi family in the kitchen was also busy with vigor.

Especially the second daughter-in-law of the Shi family. When she was pregnant and gave birth, she was worried that her husband would suffer from many illnesses. This time, she took the elixir bestowed by her benefactor and felt that her body became more relaxed and refreshed than when she was a girl in her natal family.

Although the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family didn't have the deep feelings of her younger siblings, she also felt that she couldn't treat her benefactor slowly just because she was only focusing on catching ghosts, and she tried every means to cook a few pots of good meals from the few ingredients.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's not enough to feed my benefactor by relying on the food at home."

The second daughter-in-law Wang asked while cleaning the pot, "Why don't we discuss with father-in-law and kill that fat sheep?"

The eldest daughter-in-law Yang stretched out her arms and pulled out the old man, and said quietly: "You didn't see Engong's figure, I'm afraid you and I can't fit it between our teeth!"

"My God, stop talking!"

Empress Wang patted her chest in fear, "My heart is still pounding! Such a fairy, why did my father-in-law meet him!"

"This is the good fortune of father-in-law, and also the good fortune of our Shi family!"

Yang's eyes narrowed with a smile, "As long as you serve your benefactor well, even if you don't seek glory and wealth, you can have a safe home!"

"What are you talking about if you don't cook well!"

The old man Shi walked in with his hands behind his back, and knocked on purpose: "You must not let outsiders know about your benefactor, not even your natal family! If you let me know that someone leaked the news and made a scandal of revenge, don't talk about benevolence. No, our Shi family alone would not dare to have such a daughter-in-law!"

The old saying goes that misfortune and good fortune depend on each other, and he can't let these careless wives spoil the family's fortune.

"Father, don't worry, I know the importance!"

Yang asked again in a blink of an eye: "It's just how should benefactor's meals be taken care of? My brother and sister just said that they would slaughter chickens and goats as treats. I don't know father..."

"No need."

Old man Shi turned around and dragged a cart in from outside the door, "Grandfather has brought his own meals, you just have to prepare them with your heart."

Yang Shi and Wang Shi followed to see that the sack contained not only half a piece of pork, but also two beef legs and some wild fungus, which was enough for stewing or roasting.

The two were not polite, but they stewed two big pots full of Zhu Shanzhen and Niu Shanzhen with the ingredients, and instructed their husbands to send them to the main room with a cart.

Rao Song Ci has a lot of appetite nowadays, and he was a little speechless when he saw the two big pots like a washtub.

She pushed the pot of pork aside, and used the large rice spoon that someone left behind to roll up some beef evenly, "Add some food for the child."

The ancient clans paid attention to grouping together. Shi’s family stewed so much meat that the whole village was full of fragrance.

She can't eat it anyway, so it's better to let them decide for themselves.

Old man Shi didn't expect a snake to think so much for his family, but he felt more and more that benefactor is worthy of being a benevolent little dragon king, and from now on, three sticks of incense a day would be worthy of this offering.

Not wanting to let people see him eating with his bloody mouth open, Song Ci drove old man Shi out of the main room who was still waiting for the meal, and had dinner with Xiaohong who begged for a lot of pine nuts.

After eating, drinking and sleeping, it was almost the second watch.

Afraid that Xiaohong would be in danger if he followed her secretly, Song Ci locked her in a cage shaped like a tree hole and handed it to Erlang's daughter-in-law to take care of her.

The village was extremely quiet, and the smell of the big snake could be smelled from a distance, and even the native dog who guarded the house did not dare to disturb it.

One person and one snake soon came to the edge of the stone river, knowing that there are water ghosts haunting here, Song Ci, who didn't want to get wet, was even more reluctant to go into the water.

She wrapped her tail around Shi Erlang's waist, and sent him to the opposite bank with a light flick, and then used the second half of her tail to bounce up, and she also flew over.

Song Ci put a breath-holding talisman on the ground, and motioned Shi Erlang to pick it up, "Put the talisman paper on your chest, and don't touch it. The water ghost won't be able to see you if it's there."

This was done to prevent Shi Niangzi from being red-eyed and accidentally injuring people who appeared in Xiaoshi Village.

When Shi Erlang heard that there was such a talisman, he hurriedly pasted it on the position that En Gong said, and even used his arms to protect it faintly.

They didn't go far, just climbed up to the ancestral hall of Xiaoshi Village, where the sight line was enough to see the surrounding residents clearly.

Not long after lying on the tiles of the eaves, Song Ci saw a wet trace of water meandering out from the side of the Stone River, heading straight for Xiaoshi Village.

Shi Erlang's eyesight was far inferior to hers, but he also saw the windless and automatic door, "Grandfather! Lady Shi is here!"

"Don't make noise, come with me."

Song Ci slowly climbed down from the roof, and followed the trail of Shi Niangzi to a courtyard that was obviously richer than others.

She was still lying on the eaves, but this time she lifted a thick tile ahead of time.

In the fist-sized hole, Song Ci first saw a strange wind blowing in the room, and then a woman who looked like soaked green onion, dripping rancid mucus, walked towards the man who was unconscious on the bed.

With just one pounce forward, she tightly blocked the man's seven orifices, and the viscous liquid flowed in through the orifices.

When the mucus overflowed from the seven orifices again, Shi Niangzi straightened up in a daze, and turned to the child's room.

After holding back until the female ghost left, Shi Erlang asked anxiously: "Gongong, why didn't you save him?!"

The man could have been saved by benefactor's means, so why did he have to watch him die.

"Why should I save him?"

Song Ci raised his round pupils coldly, "He owed Shi Niangzi's life and should have died."

If it wasn't for those innocent young children, who would care about the life and death of these villains.

Shi Erlang was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Engong to think so in his heart.

Song Ci ignored him, turned around and followed Shi Niangzi who was leaving with the child in her arms. Seeing this, Shi Erlang had no choice but to follow along.

Back to the stone river again, there were two people, a snake and a ghost.

Seeing that the female ghost was about to go into the water again, Shi Erlang hurriedly called her to stop, "Miss Shi! Your family has something to say!"

His voice was not low, but the female ghost in front ignored it.

Song Ci shook his head helplessly, spit out the snake letter and pointed to the spell on his chest.

Once reminded, Shi Erlang hurriedly tore off the charm, "Miss Shi, I am your husband's comrade, and he has something to say to you!"

Only then did the female ghost standing by the water slowly turn her head, revealing her white face covered in mucus so that the facial features could not be seen clearly.

"Stone Lady..."

Enduring the fear in his heart, Shi Erlang stepped forward and handed out the object in his hand, "Your family official said before he died that he wants you to take the child to live a good life. If you can go further, don't wrong yourself, just be sure to pick it up." Good family, so you don't get angry when you marry."

"Officer..."

Shi Niangzi murmured indistinctly, her bulging eyes, whether it was tears or water, were fixed on the peach hairpin carved by her beloved.

"Officer, baby...Officer, baby..."

The whimpering in Shi Niangzi's mouth became louder and louder, and finally turned into an uncontrollable cry.

"Don't talk anymore, don't look back."

Song Ci wagged his tail and walked forward, "Miss Shi, where are the children you took away?"

Shi Niangzi didn't seem to understand why a snake could talk to her, and looked at the water surface in a daze.

Song Ci followed her gaze, only to find that there were more than a dozen fish-bubble-like air pockets squeezed among the large rocks under the water, and the missing children were all curled up inside and fell asleep peacefully with their eyes closed.

"Goodness is goodness, God has the virtue of loving life."

Song Ci took out a magic talisman that was exchanged for a lot of money, "Mrs. Shi, you return the child, and I will help your family reunite, okay?"

"Reunion..."

Hearing this sentence of extremely eager expectation, Lady Shi puffed her cheeks and exhaled into the water without the slightest hesitation, a bigger fish bubble slowly fell, enveloping the previous small fish bubble and surfaced.

When more than a dozen children landed on the shore together, Song Ci tapped the talisman on her celestial cap according to the agreement, "Go, there may be someone waiting for you by the Naihe bridge."

"Thank you benefactor..."

Shi Niangzi gave a light gift, which turned into little stars and melted into the void.

After solving the female ghost who died of injustice, Song Ci turned to Shi Erlang who was still taking care of the young children, "Leave these children to you to deal with. You can explain it whatever you want, as long as you don't mention my name."

She jumped to the other side of the Stone River as she had come here, intending to go to Old Man Shi's house to take Xiaohong away, and rush back to the canyon to catch up on sleep at night.

Unexpectedly, I met an old man with white beard and white hair on the only way, always standing in front of her impartially.

Song Ci paused slightly, knowing that this was definitely not the fake Taoist priest Shi Erlang was talking about.

Since she had nowhere to go, she simply stayed where she was, just waiting to see who the person in front of her was.

Song Ci didn't leave, neither did the old man, and he turned around and smiled at her.

Seeing that he was not malicious, Song Ci bowed his head and said, "I don't know your honorable name?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The old man shook the cane in his hand, "The little old man is the land of this world."

"It turned out to be the father-in-law of the land!"

Song Ci opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Yinhuan's naked eyes don't know the true God, so I hope the land father will not be offended!"

The land lord didn't make fun of her foolishness, instead he stroked his beard and smiled and said, "You girl is more knowledgeable and kind-hearted than ordinary people. In fact, I knew about you when you entered Dashi Village. I just wanted to see What will you, a young snake with just enlightened wisdom, do? I never thought that you would help the little old man solve a small trouble. The little old man has already reported the grievances of the Shi family lady to Grandpa Chenghuang. But the old man is in charge of the souls of the underworld, and he won't be able to take care of the trouble caused by Xiaoshicun himself for a while, but he has added a merit to you!"

"Yinhuan dare not take credit for it!"

Song Ci shook his head and begged for mercy, "I just hope that Father Land and Grandpa City God don't blame Yinhuan for being new to the world and not knowing the rules."

"Don't worry, don't be afraid."

Landlord waved, "Come here."

Song Ci thought to himself, if you can't run away, let's go obediently, anyway, you can't die.

Besides, she hasn't done any evil since she was born of a snake, even a piece of land can't kill snakes at will.

Thinking of this made her feel a lot more at ease, Song Ci lowered her head, and swam to the Land Lord like a daughter-in-law wagging her tail.

Comparing the two of them like this, it seems that the real god is as vulnerable as a little dwarf.

The Lord of Earth pointed at him, "At the foot of Mount Qingcheng, there is a white snake who has practiced for thousands of years. I was fortunate enough to worship under the door of my mother in Lishan and be enlightened by her. If you want to break the secret, you can go to Shuzhong thousands of miles away to find her."

"Thank you, Father Land, for pointing out the maze!"

I never expected to have such unexpected joy, Song Ci really bowed down willingly this time, "If Yinhuan can fulfill his wish, he will definitely remember the kindness of God today!"

"go Go!"

The father-in-law of the land turned into green smoke and escaped into the soil, "I don't expect you to repay me, I just hope you will remember the word 'good', and don't go astray and waste your fortune!"

The author has something to say:

Song Ci: Little Yinhuan is going to see Lady Bai~~

In addition, the story of Shi Niangzi is an original plot, and Liaozhai has not yet started.

It's so fate, okay~~
