Chapter 3: There is nothing that cannot be solved with sword
When the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the mountains, the sound of the flute of the shepherd boy returning home at night sounds.
Li Chu stood up from the futon with a normal expression, moved his body, and straightened the wrinkles on his Taoist robe.
Another day when no pilgrim came to the door.
From this day onwards, Li Chu’s spirit and body were completely his own, and he became a truly free person.
In layman’s terms, he’s off work.
Even though he did nothing all day.
The life of a little Taoist priest is so simple and boring.
He turned back to the backyard and started preparing dinner.
After the master and apprentice had dinner, he stood up and said to Yu Qian: “Master, this disciple needs to go out for a while.”
Yu Qian nodded lightly: “Pay attention to safety.”
”Yes.”
After saying goodbye, Li Chu walked out of the door.
This time he went out a little earlier than usual, it was not dark yet, and the ghosts and monsters in Shilipo hadn’t come out. The direction he took was also different from before.
He was walking towards the river.
Yuhang Town is close to the estuary of the East China Sea and is surrounded by many river systems, including the Heishui River.
The Heishui River is not outstanding in width or depth among the surrounding rivers, but it is quite special and no one has ever dared to approach it.
Because there are water ghosts in the river.
In fact, all major rivers have some legends about water ghosts, but this one in the Heishui River is particularly powerful.
It is said that because of the huge flood more than a hundred years ago, many people died in the Heishui River. This water ghost sucked in many ghosts and rose to a very high level.
There are water ghosts in other places, so the best thing to do is not go into the water. As for the Heishui River, even if you stand on the shore, you may be mesmerized just by taking a look at the river surface.
Over time, the entire Heishui River became a forbidden area.
It had been a long time since anyone had had an accident, but last year someone’s naughty kid didn’t take notice of it and ran to the river to play, and ended up being fascinated by the water ghost.
It happened that Brother Niu from the next village saw it and couldn’t bear it for a moment, so he went into the water to rescue him.
Brother Niu is a good sailor who goes fishing all year round. Even with his hands and feet tied, he can swim faster than the fish.
But after he pushed the child up, he didn’t come up.
Moreover, after Brother Niu’s death, his body was as heavy as a stone. He sank in the middle of the river and could not float up. No one dared to salvage his body.
Brother Niu’s family had no way to appeal, so they had no choice but to listen to the villagers’ idea and invite Taoist priests to build a shrine to worship the water ghosts in the river sincerely.
Only then did the water ghost let the body float to the surface, and Brother Niu was able to rest in peace.
So domineering!
Li Chu traveled through time before this sacrifice, so this water ghost left a deep impression on him.
In other words, a very bad impression.
At that time, some people also asked why they didn’t ask a cultivator to kill the water ghost. The elders in the village said that they had invited him in the early years.
But this water ghost has long been a habit, and its Taoism is very high. Ordinary cultivators will die when they come, and even those with higher cultivation levels can’t do anything about it.
Because it has almost integrated into the Heishui River and can come and go freely in the river without leaving a trace. How can it be eliminated?
Unless someone really powerful takes action, a small fishing village cannot hire such people.
We can only wait a few decades, maybe it will become the river god of the Heishui River, and then there will be no need to harm people.
But Li Chu felt this was unreasonable.
Brother Niu is undoubtedly a good person.
This water ghost is undoubtedly an evil ghost.
Then why do evil spirits still have a chance to achieve perfection after killing people, but good people have to be threatened with their bodies even after they die?
This incident made him feel a little angry.
The master said that everyone has his destiny.
But he felt that the fate of good people should not be like this.
The fate of evil spirits should not be like this.
So he kept this incident in mind, including the anger.
After reaching level 71 last night, he immediately wanted to come here for a walk.
The riverside is full of red flowers and green willows, and the lush grassland, with warblers and birds flying and dancing among them. It is a beautiful scene in the sunset.
Li Chu walked along this scene.
So the picture becomes even more beautiful.
As he walked, he felt a cool breeze blowing from the river, causing ripples in the water.
He turned to look at the river.
But what he saw was not a handsome face.
On the contrary, what is reflected in the water is a big face with green face and fangs, which is ferocious, terrifying and ugly.
Li Chu smiled slightly.
Finally you are here.
Before he smiled, the ghost in the water smiled first, a greedy smile.
One person and one ghost, smiling at each other.
Immediately, the scene in Li Chu’s eyes changed.
There are no longer grimaces under the water, but a pile of golden gold, just within reach, as if you can just bend down and pick up the priceless property!
He didn’t move.
As the light and shadow turned, another dragon chair appeared under the water, with a large jade seal resting on the dragon chair. There was a voice in his ear telling him, sit on it, sit on that seat, and the whole world will be yours.
He still didn’t move.
The light and shadow changed again, this time into a group of beauties. They were all as beautiful as flowers, but they refused to dress properly. One showed a hint of breasts, and the other showed two long legs, and the deeper parts were looming. It seemed that with just a stretch of hand, the thin gauze skirt could be pulled off.
Li Chu finally moved.
He pulled out the iron sword behind him and swung it forward.
Chi–
the tip of the sword cut through the air.
Immediately afterwards, the flowing river water stagnated.
Boom –
the river flows back!
Suddenly, the river that had been flowing slowly was suddenly cut in the middle! Walls of water several feet high were instantly built up on both sides! And it’s soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A vacuum zone nearly ten feet wide appeared in the area where he swung his sword, exposing the dry and messy river bed. Many unlucky fish suddenly appeared from the water in the air without knowing what was going on, and their eyes widened immediately.
Their eyes were filled with confusion and innocence.
On this river bed, there is also a green shadow that is also exposed, which is the true form of the water ghost. Over time, he has lost his human form, but his eyes are still vaguely identifiable.
The emotions in its eyes are not much different from those in fish eyes.
But the water ghost’s intelligence is still stronger than that of the fish. In addition to widening its eyes, it also produces a series of rapid psychological activities.
What are you …
a god?
The water ghost looked up at the handsome young man on the shore who waved his sword casually, feeling a little confused.
Did he hold back the water?
No…
He forced himself out of the river!
This guy is here for me!
Don’t you want to talk? Why?
Danger!
That’s right, Li Chu came for him. He thought about it for a while before he came up with this idea.
Since you can come and go freely in the river without leaving a trace, I will cut off the river first.
What is a water ghost without water?
ghost?
No.
It’s a dead ghost!
Li Chu raised his hand slightly, and the second sword fell.
Chih–
that ethereal shadow suddenly shattered, carrying his more than a hundred years of Taoism and his dream of becoming a river god, and then was washed away by the heavy falling water of the river.
His last thought in ghost life was only two words.
What a shame…
Li Chu sheathed his sword calmly.
Cut the river with one sword.
Kill the ghost with one sword.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with a sword.
If so, then two swords.
In the flash of lightning, the fish in the sky returned to the bottom of the water. This brief period of time is not even enough for them to figure out whether they are birds or fish. But it doesn’t matter, after seven seconds, they will forget about this thrilling journey.
A burst of rich white light merged into his body, and Li Chu took a long breath. As expected of a century-old water ghost, the power points he gives are really great.
However, the reward was equal to the risk. This was the first time he encountered such a dangerous situation – if the water ghost’s illusion was a thousand times stronger, it might really enchant him.
Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn’t help but feel a little scared.
