Celestial masters don't count

Mao Jiu turned around to look for something, and suddenly his eyes settled on the basket next to the leg of an upturned old woman. Inside the basket was a red firecracker, a red candle, a box of paint, and a bottle of white wine.Going around the crowd in a few steps, he quickly grabbed the bag and said, "Mother-in-law, lend me something."

Before the old woman could react, he grabbed the rope and put it around his waist, took a few steps, ran to the side of the ship, stepped on the protruding railing, jumped onto the side of the boat neatly, and asked the crew member who was pulling the rope: "Where's the lighter?"

"Ah?" The crew didn't react, but reflexively looked at the left breast pocket of the jacket.

Mao Jiuyi's hands were as fast as lightning, and the crew took the lighter from their pockets before they saw what was going on.When he looked up again, he saw Mao Jiu grabbing the rope and leaping forward, his figure looked like a peerless master.To the surprise of the crew, he found that Mao Jiu was holding on to the rope, but the rope did not add any weight...

Mao Jiu stepped on the bow of the rubber boat, and the big men were startled.Looking back at the young man who looked like a frail scholar, I couldn't help being a little annoyed.They were worrying about how to save the boy, because when they poked down with steel pipes or harpoons or something and found nothing, it made the boy yell even louder.

The boy's face turned pale from the pain, and the whites of his eyes rolled up.It felt as though their behavior had angered the thing under the water and increased its strength to rip off the boy's leg.

They poked the steel pipe down, and the boy suffered more pain, which made them constrained in both hands and feet, and they didn't know what to do.

Now looking at the frail Mao Jiu standing on the bow of the boat, not taking anything—if the firecrackers and candles in the basket can save the child—it seems like he is here to play.

"Youth, these things are not fun, don't get in the way here."

Mao Jiu glanced at the man who spoke, and said out of good intentions, "You guys have offended that thing down there, so there's nothing you can do now."

"Dong, Dongxi? Xu, Xu is a big fish."

Mao Jiu didn't speak, and stared straight at the water surface, which was muddy for some reason.Obviously the water quality is very clear, but strangely nothing can be seen, giving the impression that the waters are very deep.

The Ruyu youth in front of him just stared at the water surface silently after saying that weird and scary words, looking very unfathomable.In addition, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that since the youth came, the strength to hold the boy has become weaker.The boy's expression was not so painful anymore.

Looking up at the young man again, it was like a pool of deep water, even more unfathomable.Looking at his attire from the century, he looks like an outsider on TV.Could it be that he is really an unfathomable expert?

The men on the rubber boat are not atheists like the female students just now, they are science-oriented or something. They grew up in this water area and heard that there are unclean things in the river since they were young. They have to find substitutes every year. People do drown every year, too.

Thinking of this, they felt a chill.There was a layer of awe in the sight of Mao Jiu.

At this moment, Mao Jiu didn't pay attention to the changes in the perception of the people around him, but stared at the things under the water with a straight face.That thing was so bold that he wouldn't give up his stand-in.He half-kneeled on the ship's side, took out the firecrackers and put them beside him, then lit the candle. After a few random moves, the candle stood firmly on the rubber boat.

Mao Jiu reached out and grabbed the boy's shoulder, turned to the captain and said, "Let go first, come up."

The captain hesitated, he didn't trust Mao Jiu who was too young.

"Trust me, that thing." Mao Jiu nodded his chin and pointed to the bottom of the water: "You are here, I am not easy to deal with."

The captain gritted his teeth, thinking about the stalemate now, maybe the young man in front of him could really save the child.He tentatively let go of his hand slowly, and when he let go, he was secretly taken aback.Only by holding on to the child can one know how strong the thing holding the child under the water is. If it weren't for the people on the shore pulling him, he might have to be dragged into the water together.

And the young man in front of him can fight against the underwater thing with just one hand, how strong is this strength?

The owner of the boat was surprised, but he quickly climbed onto the rubber boat.The people on the boat didn't know what happened, and they were all talking about it.Although he didn't know what he was doing, but it looked like he was about to give up saving the child who fell into the water, and the cause was the young man who jumped suddenly.

The child's mother almost went crazy and wanted to disembark after making a fuss.The crowd also began to commotion, and the female student who spoke just now also said that she wanted to go down to help. The crew was a little embarrassed, after all, there was only one rubber boat on board.

"Nonsense!" Suddenly an old scolded voice came, "If you continue to make noise and disturb that young man, you will really delay saving the child!"

The child's mother suddenly turned her head to look at the old woman who spoke. The old woman was the one who had borrowed the son just now.

"Grandma, what do you mean? I, my child is really saved?"

"That young man is a celestial exorcist. Now he is driving away water ghosts."

"Exorcism, exorcism... Celestial Master?" The female student doesn't believe it. She believes in science and the last thing she believes in is ghosts and gods: "It's obviously a big fish in the river biting a person's leg! Your superstition will kill people!"

Female students don't believe it, but others do.The child's mother was also skeptical, and the old woman said, "Didn't you see that the child didn't sink? If a big fish bit the child's leg, how could there be no blood on the river? Girl, how many years has my mother-in-law lived by the river? I have passed more fish than what is described in your book. My mother-in-law knows whether it is a fish or something weird."

Only then did everyone notice the strangeness. If it was really a big fish, there would be splashes.No matter how bad it was, blood flowed out and dyed the surface of the river red. It was too weird that dozens of men were pulling the rope without any splash.

The female student was speechless: "Maybe, maybe it's some undiscovered big fish—"

Xiaoshan interrupted her coldly: "Whether it's a fish or a water ghost, only my ninth brother can save people now. If it were you, even if it was a big fish, would you be able to save it?"

The female student was speechless, unable to speak.

Xiao Shan ignored her, and looked back down.

The child's mother stopped crying and looked down nervously, expecting a miracle.

Mao Jiu held the boy's shoulder with one hand, lit the firecracker with the other hand, and threw it into the air after the first firecracker went off.Grabbing the boy's hand, he forcefully brought him onto the bed, got up and turned around, grabbed a steel fork from a man's hand to catch the falling firecrackers, and they hung on the water and crackled loudly.

After the boy boarded the boat, several men quickly covered him with big towels.Everyone on board cheered, including the child's mother who laughed through tears.But they were not happy yet. Just as they were paddling the rubber boat back after the firecrackers were lit, the water below the river suddenly formed a vortex and flipped quickly, as if it was going to turn the rubber boat upside down.

The people on the boat exclaimed, and the men on the rubber boat were also taken aback. The captain quickly asked Mao Jiu, "Master, what should we do?"

Mao Jiu grabbed the edge of the rubber boat, looked at the eyes under the water as cold as ice: "If you want to toast, don't eat the fine wine!"

He picked up the shochu, took out the shochu inside, opened the bottle cap, raised his head and took a sip, then grabbed the still burning candle and put it by his mouth to stare at the river.Others couldn't see it clearly, but the captain was close to the water surface, and at a glance, he saw something black floating on the turbid water surface. It looked like hair, hair as long as a woman's.

The rubber boat shook violently, and suddenly a man yelled in surprise and almost fell off the rubber boat. Seeing this, Mao Jiu stretched out his foot and hooked the man's belt to stabilize him, but he almost fell and quickly lay down on the rubber boat Stay in shape.

Suddenly someone on board exclaimed: "Children!"

Mao Jiu looked over, and there was a poof of hair that quietly climbed up and wrapped around the feet of the newly rescued child, trying to drag him into the water again.

Mao Jiu frowned: How stubborn!

Stepping forward, the candle blocked the front and sprayed forward, the wine burst out through the fire and the fire burned the poked hair.For some reason, everyone seemed to hear a shrill scream coming from under the water.After this, the rubber boat stabilized and the water became calm again.

The captain leaned over: "Master..."

Mao Jiu put his index finger to his lips to signal silence, leaned forward, lay down, and hid under the rubber boat, his shadow could not be seen on the water.The captain was right next to him, his eyes widened suddenly and he saw a strand of hair emerging from the bottom of the water, and the strand of hair crawled up quietly, it was testing.

The captain wanted to call, but Mao Jiu stopped him, then shook his head to signal him not to move.

Raising his hand to take a sip of the wine, he watched coldly as the hair-poking creep climbed up little by little, and it was even more impossible for the thing under the water to let the boy go without seeing Mao Jiu's shadow.When it started to feel safe and accelerated suddenly, Mao Jiu spewed out flames and quickly grabbed the poked hair and tied it to the rubber boat. The violent struggle of the thing under the water caused the rubber boat to shake to and fro.

Mao Jiu quickly took out a piece of white cloth from the basket, opened the paint, and it turned out to be cinnabar.Put the index finger and middle finger together, put a small piece of cinnabar into a small cymbal, pour in the white wine and mix well, dip the index finger and middle finger together with the ink-like liquid made of cinnabar white wine, quickly draw a symbol on the white cloth, and pinch it after finishing quickly Place the wick on the lower candlestick between two fingers together.

He rushed to the side of the boat, poured liquor onto the river, shook his wrist lightly, the wick fell into the water, a burst of fire spread instantly, there was a shrill scream, and something jumped out extremely quickly.Mao Jiu was faster than it, and raised the white cloth with cinnabar talismans in his hand, covered the thing and quickly packed it, and finally wrapped it into a fist-sized stuffed bag.

He stood up and said to the captain, "It's all right, let's go back."

Captain Leng Leng: Really, really master! !
