Qingyue Temple

Fang Shanshui went back to the house to read the scriptures and sat down in meditation.

Absorbing the spiritual energy diffused by the two spiritual roots in the house, Fang Shanshui continued to condense his primordial water with difficulty.

The figure master didn't bother him this time, but was thinking about his own body.

It threw it to the black cat and retrieved it, as if it wanted to find a way to retrain the body back into its soul.

However, without the flash of inspiration when he obtained the golden light of merit, he tried to make the master for a long time without success.

Jishen watched the figurine master busy in front of him, leaning his head on the side of Fang Shanshui's coiled legs, and gnawed on the nearly gone yarn balls very calmly.

Two hours later, the figurine of the master rested his chin, looked at his body expressionlessly, and suddenly remembered Fang Shanshui's question of "Have you eaten?" 'if.

seem……

Is it not impossible to consider?

In the stomach, it can be regarded as a way of integration.

If Fang Shanshui asks where it has gone, it can be said that it has found a new way to fit together...

Jishen, who was gnawing on the wool, was connected with the figure master in some respects. He felt that the main body's thoughts were a little dangerous, so he couldn't help but stop chewing, and stared at the figure master with red eyes.

"Meow, ouch!"

At this time, the black cat, which had been lying on the ground and seemed to be asleep, suddenly jumped up with a jerk and began to scream sharply.

The cry of the black cat, as if it had discovered some enemy or some danger, was long and scary, interrupting the staring of the figurine master and Jishen.

Fang Shanshui was also alarmed by the black cat's cry, he regained his senses from the trance, and paid off his efforts to look at the black cat.

The black cat jumped onto the window sill at this time and was barking non-stop towards the window.

In the dark night, the sharp sound of the black cat also woke up the other small animals around. All of a sudden, all kinds of screams came and went.

This is probably what Yuan Pei said, the sound of suspecting that the black cat was in heat.

Hearing it with his own ears, Fang Shanshui realized how pitiful Yuan Pei's feeling was. The black cat looked fierce now, as if it was about to go up and bite someone's neck off at any time, and it didn't look like spring had arrived.

Fang Shanshui called it: "Dahei, what's wrong?"

In the dark night, the big black eyes seem to be glowing, the black pupils form a straight line, and the golden eyeballs feel icy cold, as if they are patrolling their prey, with dangerous snoring in their throats, and when Fang Shanshui screams, it is also He yelled out several more times before slowly stopping.

"Meow, oh..." Dahei glanced at Fang Shanshui, then looked out of the window for a while, as if he wanted to say something to Fang Shanshui, but after meowing for a while, it stopped by itself, with a puzzled expression, stretched out The paw scratched his ears, as if he had just heard something strange, but it seemed that he had heard it wrong.

Fang Shanshui walked to the window sill, followed Dahei's line of sight to look out, and didn't feel anything unusual.

The cats and dogs who were awakened by the screams outside the window also gradually quieted down, and the various screams gradually faded away, as if they were awakened by Dahei's long and harsh screams, and went back to sleep in a daze after a false alarm up.

Fang Shanshui patted the dazed black cat squatting on the window sill, and turned to ask Zhai Ling who appeared on the wall: "Zhai Ling, do you feel anything unusual?"

【abnormal?No hey...] Zhai Ling had just played with Yuan Pei until the end of the game, when he heard the cat meowing from Fang Shanshui's room, and heard Fang Shanshui's question, he couldn't help but think back, and said, "Before you come back today, little master, Dahei also Falling asleep and falling asleep suddenly jumped up and screamed like this, as if there was some danger, and then it got better soon. I was still vigilant at first, but Dahei repeated this several times. Yuan Pei said that it was probably just in heat, so I didn’t care it's gone. 】

Fang Shanshui: "How many times? About when?"

Zhai Ling: [It started in the afternoon, and then when it was dark, it would happen almost every two or three hours. When you came back, little master, it had just stopped for an hour. It has not barked for a while, I thought Well, I didn't expect it to start again now. 】

Fang Shanshui: "Dahei seems to have been affected by some external influence, but none of us felt it, only it felt it."

Fang Shanshui decided to temporarily stop practicing, and wait to observe Dahei's situation later.

The black cat jumped down from the window sill a little limply, and lay down at Fang Shanshui's feet, with its eyelids half drooping, and didn't fall asleep anymore.

Cats have always been anti-sleeping animals, resting during the day and wandering at night, and because of their high activity, most of them like to sleep late.

Today, when the black cat was sleeping during the day, it was inexplicably woken up repeatedly, so it was very sleepy, and it didn't have energy at night. It wanted to catch up on sleep, but was woken up again. No wonder it looked like this.

Fang Shanshui waited and waited, and about 15 minutes later, the sleepy black cat lying at Fang Shanshui's feet suddenly jumped up reflexively, jumped up on the window sill, and screamed at the window sill .

As soon as the black cat barked, countless small animals were awakened during the night, and they once again made meowing and meowing sounds like chickens and dogs jumping around.

These small animals don't know whether they were awakened by the black cat, or they were awakened by inexplicable perception just like the black cat.

The quiet city became a little noisy after a while. Fang Shanshui even heard the faint curses of people in the wind, which seemed to be the owners who were also woken up by the animals.

Fang Shanshui looked at the night sky, he had already opened his eyes, his pupils turned completely golden, but when he glanced outside, he saw nothing.

The black cat looked up at Fang Shanshui expectantly, but after observing it, Fang Shanshui couldn't find anything, so he could only shake his head at it.

"Meow, oh..." The black cat seemed a little disappointed, and jumped off the window sill, passing by the black tortoise who was sound asleep and didn't respond, and pushed the tortoise dissatisfied, with a look of envy and hatred.

Fang Shanshui saw the black cat bullying the tortoise, only to find that the tortoise was in good condition and was not affected in any way.

So is it a question of hearing difference?

Turtles have no outer ears but only inner ears. They have extremely poor hearing and are only sensitive to vibrations. Cats and dogs are different, and their hearing is several times that of humans.

Fang Shanshui squatted down and patted the black cat, asking it, "What did you hear?"

"Meow, ow~" the black cat tilted its head and yelled, and the other party Shanshui shook his head, as if he couldn't express it, or maybe he didn't know it clearly.

Another 15 minutes later, the black cat pricked up its ears and pupils again. This time, it didn't fall asleep, and didn't react violently reflexively again. It just looked up and looked out of the window. After a while, it seemed that the outside of the window was as it expected. After calming down, he lay down and went back.

This night, the black cat did not sleep well. Although accompanied by Fang Shanshui, it gradually adapted to not jumping up and screaming, but it was still awakened in a daze from time to time. After a while, it would be inexplicably calm again down.

Fang Shanshui observed for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he gave up, and found a piece of cotton for the black cat to plug its ears, and closed the window, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

·

Yuan Pei kicked on his slippers and walked out of the room in a daze to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Halfway through washing, the phone in my pocket rang, and I picked it up to see that it was Pan Ruo.

Yuan Pei: "Pan Zi, what's the matter?"

While wiping his face, Yuan Pei listened to what Pan Ruo said, before he finished listening, he asked in surprise, "What? Something happened to your brother again?"

Just at this time, Fang Shanshui had just finished his morning class and came back from school. Fang Shanshui opened the door and offered Yuan Pei his favorite breakfast.

Yuan Pei, who was on the phone with Pan Ruo, saw Fang Shanshui coming in, and hurriedly said to Pan Ruo, "Wait a minute, I'll turn on the speakerphone, and Fang Fang is back, please tell me what happened just now."

Fang Shanshui put down his breakfast and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Yuan Pei's hands-free was turned on, Pan Ruo's crying voice came from the other side: "Brother Fang! Help!"

Fang Shanshui pushed the breakfast to Yuan Pei, and opened the fish bought for Dahei to comfort him, put it on the table, and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me slowly."

Pan Ruo seemed to take a breath, and then she started from the beginning, "I just found out about this. If I knew about it earlier, I would definitely not let Pan Ting run around with those boys! There is a small river in the countryside here, so it's not too much. Deep, some villagers often wash things nearby, and the water is quite clear. Although I know there is a river, but the river is shallow, Pan Ting can swim again, and there are a group of children accompanying him every day, so I didn’t pay much attention. I just found out , What a problem with this river!"

Yuan Pei opened his own breakfast and ate while listening to Pan Ruo's voice from the phone, echoing from time to time, urging Pan Ruo to continue.

The black cat smelled the smell of fish, stared at the face that stayed up late, shrugged its shoulders and came out of the room lightly to look at it. When it jumped to the table, it almost didn't jump up and was about to fall. Fortunately, Fang Shanshui stroked it with quick eyes and hands. a handful.

Yuan Pei glanced at the black cat, thinking that it must have gone out at night and indulged too much.

Pan Ruo continued: "Not long ago, a girl who was washing clothes suddenly sank into the water, as if she was being dragged down by something. The person who went with the girl who fell into the water said that when she looked up , I saw her sinking, without even a little struggle..."

……

Xiao Hua was using a mallet on the stones by the river, beating the clothes she wanted to wash, and there were five or six girls beside her, all of whom were busy with her, some of whom she was familiar with, raised their heads to chat with each other from time to time.

"Pfft..."

After the sound of falling into the water, Xiaohua raised her head and saw the back of a person in the water, who seemed to have fallen into the water, and seemed to have jumped in by herself, but the strange thing was that the person just fell into the water, and then bubbled down , It fell down without stopping for a moment, it seemed to be in a coma, and it seemed to be pulled down directly by something.

"Someone has fallen into the water! Come and help!" Some people who were already vigilant began to yell and wanted to call someone who knew water to come and help.

Xiaohua didn't see who fell into the water, but when she turned around, she found that Lijuan, who was washing clothes not far away from her just now, had disappeared. The clothes and gavel were thrown there, and she went somewhere.

Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat, she quickly stood up and stretched her head to look into the water, thinking that it was her friend Lijuan who fell into the water, right?

A girl who can swim on the bank, heard that someone fell into the water, jumped down immediately, trying to catch the person, the water by the river was relatively shallow, and it didn’t reach the person’s waist, and the two girls who jumped down took two steps before starting swim forward.

Xiaohua, who is not very good at swimming, was anxious on the shore, and asked the girl who called, "Did Lijuan fall into the water? What's the matter, the shore is very shallow, and she can swim?"

The girl who was asked was also at a loss: "I don't know, maybe it's leg cramps from squatting for too long?"

This explanation makes more sense, and the girls all nodded.

"Come up, come up!"

The two water girls who went down to fish for people found that Lijuan had floated up from the bottom of the water before they sank to the bottom to find someone.

The strange thing is that her posture has not changed at all, her back is facing the river, how she fell and then floated up, she looked lifeless like a corpse, the two girls who were swimming hurriedly grabbed her and pulled her head and face He pulled her out of the water and swam back with her.

Several girls on the bank also stretched out their hands to pull people, and people from the village who heard the movement not far away also surrounded them.

"How about it?"

"Is it okay?"

Amidst the noise, Lijuan, who fell into a coma, spat and slowly woke up.

Xiaohua, who was supporting Lijuan, immediately said pleasantly: "Lijuan, are you okay? Why did you suddenly fall into the water just now?"

Lijuan was a little confused: "I don't know, it seems that someone pulled me."

Then someone called out: "Ah! Look at her feet."

Everyone bowed their heads, only to find that there was a deep and shallow black mark on the ankle exposed under Lijuan's trousers. Lijuan raised her trouser leg and completely exposed her ankle. On Lijuan's ankle , with a faint black five-fingerprint.

Everyone who saw clearly gasped.

The villager who gathered around to watch the excitement just now said in a deep voice, "This may be caused by water ghosts. I'll ask the village's immortal to take a look."

"No, if the water ghost really pulled her down, then why did she come up by herself just now?" A girl who just swam down to catch someone, wiped the water from her face, and said in a strange way.

The people who came later asked strangely, "I came up here by myself? Didn't I come up here after being rescued?"

Seeing the girls by the river shaking their heads, everyone looked at Li Juan who was sitting on the ground dripping wet.

Lijuan frowned and thought about it for a while, then said hesitantly: "After I fell into a coma just now, I felt like I fell into a place, and there were four people below..."

When everyone heard it, their spirits were shaken, and they asked: "Who is it?"

Li Juan said with an absurd expression: "I don't know. The four people were playing mahjong around the square table. When they saw me fall, one of them raised his head and said, 'No charge, no charge. Come again when you are missing three times.' Then the person turned towards me. As I waved my hand, I felt my body lighten suddenly, as if I was retreating, so... retreated?"

All the people listening around looked at each other in blank dismay.

Play majiang?

This is really unheard of.

Li Juan said again: "I thought I was dreaming, but then I heard you calling me and woke up."

Xiao Hua, who was supporting Lijuan, had an incredulous expression on her face, and so did those around her who had little knowledge of this kind of thing.

An old man said with experience: "Girl, you'd better go back and call your parents to take you to the Great Immortal. Everyone should leave, it's time to go home, don't hang around here."

Xiaohua and another girl helped up Lijuan who was drenched all over, and the others packed up their things, including the three of them, since they didn't dare to stay by the river anyway.

Xiaohua couldn't help but asked Lijuan again: "Juan, did you really see someone playing mahjong?"

Several other girls also stretched their heads to hear.

Li Juan nodded affirmatively: "Really."

Xiao Hua asked again: "Then have you seen what they all look like?"

Just as Lijuan was about to recall, a girl tidying up her clothes hurriedly interrupted them: "Don't ask, don't ask, don't talk about this kind of thing all the time, and don't think about them, you will be noticed. You go down."

Xiaohua and Lijuan immediately quieted down, and the girls who poked their heads out also shrank their heads.

After a while, everyone couldn't help but turned back to look at the water behind them. They wondered if it was windy, but suddenly there was a circle of ripples on the water, as if something was looking at them from below.

Frightened, the girls ran away in a hurry.

……

The story of Lijuan falling into the water spread in the village, and because it was relatively rare, it became the talk of the villagers after dinner.

Lijuan's parents also took her to look at the famous fairy in the village. They didn't know what she said, but it was all right, but the parents with children in the village began to tell them not to go to the river for the time being. go.

In those few days, I could still see the half-immortal in the village wandering by the river, muttering something from time to time, or throwing some rice into the river.

Slowly, the turmoil in Xiaohe faded away.

However, after hearing Lijuan's "miraculous" experience, many curious boys in the village were a little eager to move.

……

Pan Ruo said in a tone like a sun-kissed dog: "After my younger brother came here, he met a group of boys. They play together every day, go up the mountain to hunt and fish in the water. I originally thought that Pan Ting would follow along. They run and jump, they can also be lively and outgoing, at least they can learn a lot, so I didn’t stop them. I just warned them to pay attention to safety and not to go to dangerous places.”

Fang Shanshui was a little weird when he heard Pan Ruo's words just now, and it was the first time he heard such an entertaining ghost.

Fang Shanshui asked Pan Ruo: "Did your brother go into the water with those boys? Didn't you go to the half-immortal in the village?"

"It's just that Banxian just left the village. Those boys didn't dare to go down when they saw that she wasn't there and that there was no one by the river. Five of them went down, three of them woke up, and two of them passed out. I didn’t know that Pan Ting had an accident, but my parents called me and scolded me, but he was in a coma for two days.”

"Brother Fang Yuanzi, do you know what those boys who woke up said? They said they had never seen a ghost playing mahjong, and wanted to see it. Anyway, sister Lijuan came back safely, and they will be fine. I @#￥% " Pan Ruo was so angry that he let out a series of unidentified curses.

Yuan Pei also sighed: "It's true that you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and you are not afraid of death."

Fang Shanshui asked: "Three are awake, two are in a coma? How did the three wake up? Did they say what they saw down there?"

Pan Ruo: "No, the three of them are in a daze, and they can't answer any questions. I also want to find the half-immortal who has left, but I can't contact her. Brother Fang, come and help me, this kid I have been in a coma, no matter how I scream, I can’t wake up, it seems like I won’t wake up, and my breathing is getting weaker and weaker, I am really worried now.”

Fang Shanshui said in a deep voice, "I'll go right away."

Without much delay, Yuan Pei bought two tickets and boarded the car with Fang Shanshui.

Because Dahei didn't have a good rest in the city, he was always startled. Fang Shanshui thought about it, and stuffed it into the gift bag, leaving a vent to keep it from making noise.

Dahei seemed to know Fang Shanshui's intentions, so he shrank obediently into his bag and nodded.

Just when Fang Shanshui wanted to pat the black cat's head to comfort him, the little hand of the figurine master suddenly pointed to the zipper of the backpack. Immediately, the zipper seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and it closed by itself, covering the black cat. The cat had big and pitiful eyes, and then the figurine master looked at Yuan Pei who was going to go together.

Yuan Pei blinked, quickly comprehended what the uncle meant, and ignored Fang Shanshui's objection, brought the bag over, saying that I would come and get it.

Fang Shanshui glanced at the master with a smile, and the figurine master and Fang Shanshui looked at each other calmly, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.
