Chapter 313: Chapter 313: There’s a water ghost in the West River. Is it time to vanquish demons?
In the morning, Ning Fei was playing with the little ones.
Yesterday, he had fed the little fox some monkey wine. The Little Fox had always liked to eat fruits, and this kind of hundred-fruit wine made it unable to put it down. After drinking the monkey wine, it drifted off and fell asleep.
However, there was only a gourd of monkey wine. Ning Fei planned to keep it for himself and drink it slowly.
At this moment, village Chief Qin Zheng suddenly knocked on the door of Qingfeng Temple.
Ning Fei opened the door and saw village chief frowning. A trace of doubt appeared on his face.
One had to know that in Qinshan village, Village Chief Qin Zheng was the sky of Qinshan village. There was no problem that village chief could not solve.
Now, his expression was solemn as if he had encountered a knot in his heart that could not be untied.
At this moment, Ning Fei was still broadcasting live, and the netizens were also watching silently.
“Village chief, did something happen?”
There was a stone table and chair in the courtyard. Ning Fei poured a cup of mountain shade tea for Qin Zheng and asked at the same time.
…
Qin zheng sighed and nodded, saying, “Something did happen.”
“Yesterday, Liu Dabao’s child was swimming in the West River and almost drowned. He is still in the hospital being treated.”
Hearing Qin Zheng’s words, Ning Fei could not help but frown.
“Liu Dabao’s child? Liu Xiaobao? That can’t be.”
Qin Zheng nodded again and confirmed, “That’s right.”
“Liu Xiaobao’s swimming ability is the best among the children in the village, right? I remember that two years ago, there was a swimming competition among the children in the village. Wasn’t he first place?”
Qin Zheng took a sip of tea and seemed to be thinking about something. He said, “Yes, Liu Xiaobao’s swimming ability is very good. After swimming in the river for so many years, nothing happened. But yesterday, something happened.”
“If Liu Dabao hadn’t gone to look for him, this kid might have lost his life.”
Ning fei asked in puzzlement, “It’s that serious? What’s the situation?”
Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Ning Fei was still broadcasting, he immediately felt that it was nothing. He said, “Liu Dabao said that he saw a black shadow under the water. It was about the same size as a child, and it swam very fast.”
“There were bruises on Liu Xiaobao’s ankles. It was obvious that something was holding him tightly. It wanted to drag Liu Xiaobao into the water so that he couldn’t struggle out.”
When he heard Qin Zheng’s words, Ning FEI’s expression gradually became serious.
He whispered, “Water Ghost?”
The Legend of water ghost was extremely popular in the countryside.
Legend had it that there was a creature that lived under the water. It looked like an ape and was commonly seen in wild water sources such as mountain ponds and reservoirs.
In water, water ghosts were several times stronger than humans. They would grab a person who fell into the water and drag them into the water, suffocating them to death.
Many adults in villages liked to use the legend of water ghosts to scare children.
However, they did not expect this to really happen.
When the netizens saw this scene, they also felt a little nervous.
“What is a water ghost?”
Doubts arose in their hearts.
Qin Zheng nodded and said,
“Yeah, now this matter has spread throughout the village. Everyone says that this is an ominous sign, causing people to be anxious.”
“I’ve already sealed the West River, and I’m not letting children go over now.”
“Sigh.”
Ning Fei also understood the village chief’s difficulties.
West River was considered the mother river of Qin Mountain Village. Many people here relied on West River to live.
“You came to me to get rid of the Water Ghost?”Ning Fei asked again.
“How is that possible? If that thing really exists, it would be very dangerous to go into the water. Am I the kind of person who would let others take risks?”Hearing Ning Fei’s words, Qin Zheng retorted.
Qin Zheng’s words were not wrong. If there was anything dangerous in the village, he would always go first. He would never say that he came to find someone to let others handle it.
“I’m Looking for you because I want to hold a ritual by the West River. There’s no one in our village who can dance like a god. After thinking about it, you’re the most suitable. “After all, this is an orthodox Taoist temple. The inheritance is here, and everyone believes it,”Qin Zheng said.
So it was about this.
Ning Fei understood.
It couldn’t be said that the village was feudal and superstitious. Some rituals and some things could be considered Chinese traditions.
For example, the difference between traditions and superstitions like offering sacrifices to rivers and lakes was that the tradition was to throw chicken, duck, fish, meat, and pig heads into the river, and then do a ritual worship on the shore.
Superstition was to send a boy and a girl to the lake and give them to the Dragon King.
“Village chief, I’ll go and take a look first. I don’t believe in water ghosts,”said Ning Fei after thinking for a while.
“Okay, I’ll just talk to you. Don’t go into the water. I’ve seen Liu Xiaobao’s condition. The bruise on his ankle is very deep. Whatever dragged him into the water was very strong.”
When Qin Zheng reached the key point, he wanted to take a puff of his pipe. Then he remembered that he was in a Taoist temple, so he put down his pipe.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Ning Fei answered with a smile.
Then, Qin Zheng finished his tea and left in a hurry.
“Water Ghost, also known as water monkey. Many people have seen this kind of creature, but few have really found it.”
“There is actually a water monkey in the West River. No wonder the village chief is so nervous.”
Ning Fei stood up and chatted with the netizens. It seemed that he was also planning to go to the West River to take a look.
“Abbey Dean Ning, does the water monkey really exist?”A netizen could not help but ask.
“Don’t go, that thing is too scary!”
“You can think about it. When you were swimming in the river or the lake, a monster with great strength dragged you into the water desperately…”
“Stop it. You’re making my back turn cold.”
“What era is it now? Why do you still believe in this?”
Ning Fei stood up. This time, he took out the sharp sword that was attached to the Taiji Sun and moon robe.
It was a treasure sword. It had been sharpened and was very sharp.
In this era, the use of the sword was more like a performance or exercise. The offensive nature of the sword had gradually been forgotten by people.
There were too many better tools to replace it.
For example, if he encountered a wild boar, Ning Fei could use the Su Mu bow. He was good at archery and could kill it from a long distance.
However, in the water, the effect of the bow and arrow would be greatly reduced.
When the netizens saw Ning Fei take out his sharp sword, they could not help but be excited.
“It has appeared. The Taoist priest is going to vanquish demons and devils!”
“Don’t tell me, it really has that flavor.”
“Abbey Dean Ning is awesome!”
“This scene makes my blood boil.”
“Where did this monster come from? How dare he offend My Qin Mountain Village? Come Out and face your death!”
This scene was indeed very cool.
Ning Fei, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a sharp sword, walked out of the gate of Qingfeng Temple and headed straight for the West River.
The Little Dog stood at the gate as if it wanted to follow Ning Fei, but Ning Fei let it play by itself.
The water monkey might really exist, and Ning Fei was also worried that the puppy would be in danger.
The West River was not far.
In early spring, the West River should be very lively. There would be many people fishing and playing here.
But now it was much quieter. There were only a few adults standing on the shore as if they were looking for something, but they did not dare to go into the river.
Village Chief Qin Zheng was also there.
Qin Zheng saw Ning Fei and said, “You’re here too. We searched for a long time on the shore, but we did not find anything. Just now, Old Zhang and the others took care of each other and went into the water to take a look, but there was still nothing.”
Ning fei said, “Village chief, let me try. I have a way.”
As he said that, Ning Fei took out a live broadcast submarine. It was a bionic carp.
When the village chief saw Ning Fei take out a carp, his eyes were full of doubt. He was smoking a cigarette, showing a rare look of not having seen the world.
Then, Ning Fei directly threw the bionic submarine into the West River.
The submarine immediately began to swim.
“This is…”Qin Zheng was dumbfounded. A few villagers also surrounded him.
“It’s the biomimetic carp that I use to livestream underwater. It can observe the situation underwater, and it swims quite fast.”
Ning Fei brought up the video interface. Qin Zheng could also see that the video was showing the situation in the West River.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zheng’s eyes lit up.
“What a treasure.”
The West River was very clear, and the visibility was very high.
The underwater world was another world. Looking down, there were water plants, rocks, and embankments everywhere. The terrain was more complicated, so it was no wonder that the villagers could not find the water ghost.
The netizens also saw the underwater scene.
“Is there really a water ghost? Isn’t it too ridiculous?”
“That child might have cramped in the water, so he felt someone pulling him.”
“That’s also possible.”
“Didn’t the village chief say that the kid had bruises on his ankles?”
“Maybe he hit a rock after cramping.”
Everyone was chatting idly, feeling that the existence of water ghosts wasn’t very realistic.
But then, something unexpected happened.
When the bionic submarine went around a bank and turned right, everyone could clearly see a black shadow in the crevice of a riverbank underwater.
Its body seemed to be covered with aquatic plants, and many tentacle-like things were swaying in its hands.
“F * ck!”
The scene was a little strange. When a few netizens saw this scene, they were so scared that they immediately threw their phones out.
“Found it!”
Ning Fei immediately said.
Village Chief Qin Zheng also saw this scene and hurriedly said, “Where is it?”
However, in the next second, the water ghost realized that something was wrong with the bionic submarine in front of it. It actually came out from the gap and quickly fled upstream!
“You want to run?”
Ning Fei knew the location of the water ghost. At the same time, he rushed toward it along the riverbank.
Qin Zheng did not hesitate and quickly followed.
Of course, for men, they were older and lacked speed and endurance.
Therefore, Qin Zheng was soon pulled away by Ning Fei.
The netizens were still in a daze.
“What was that just now?”
“Is there really a water ghost?”
“A water ghost is a water monkey. The water monkeys should be real, but there are very few of them.”
“Good Heavens, it gave me goosebumps.”
“At that moment, I thought I had met Shiva from the shipwreck!”
Everyone recalled the scene just now and felt a little scared. They looked at the live broadcast again and saw that Ning Fei was still running at full speed.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts could not help but become excited.
