Ichthyosaur

Gouzi yelled several times in a row but didn't hear Longchi's answer, and didn't see Longchi's figure.

The rushing water pushed him down, and the waves were thrown down from time to time.He found that not only the ghost boat had disappeared, but even old man He's fishing boat was gone.Taking advantage of his physical strength and no corpses around, he quickly swam to the river bank.

In order to reduce the load, he threw away all the iron plates stuffed on his chest and the cowhide tied to his arms and arms, and swam barebacked.The paint on his face and sticky moustache were washed away by the river water, revealing a fair face of a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He is like a flying fish, swimming fast in the river.

Longchi surfaced, and no corpses were seen, so he swam towards the river bank in peace.Er Gouzi has good water skills, as long as he is not dragged by a wandering corpse, he can swim ashore no matter what.

When she swam ashore, she found herself washed downstream from the tidal flat village.

Not long after she ran up the river bank, she suddenly heard a heavy panting sound like pulling a bellows.She followed the sound and saw a man lying on the bank of the river, half of his body soaked in the water, his chest heaving violently.

She walked over and recognized at a glance that it was the old man on the ghost ship.

Just as she was about to leave, the old man grabbed her leg and followed the old man hoarsely said two words: "Help me."

Longchi looked back in confusion, and she looked closer, only to find that the old man seemed to be seriously injured and couldn't get up.

She couldn't do nothing but hang the sword behind her back on her waist, carried the old man on her back and rushed home.

She helped the old man sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals in the main hall, and went to find a fire pocket to light the oil lamp.

Under the light, the old man's face was livid, his seal was black, and his lips were black and purple. It was obvious that he had been poisoned by the corpse.

She went back to her room, took out the detoxification pill that she had always prepared, took out one and handed it to the old man, saying: "This is the Qingxin pill, it can temporarily relieve the corpse poison in you."

The old man put the pill in his nose, sniffed it, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and said to Longchi, "Thank you."

Long Chi lifted off the tattered clothes of the old man, and there were four long wounds on his back, as if scratched by the nails of a living corpse.The wound was dark purple, and black blood was oozing out.She asked the old man, "Do you have any silver?"

There was a gleam in the old man's eyes, and he said calmly: "There is as much money as you want, but you don't have it with you."

Long Chi held up two fingers and asked, "Two taels of silver, do you have any?"

The old man took off the silver pouch from his waist and handed it to Long Chi, saying, "This is all I have on my body."

Longchi weighed it down, it was quite heavy.She took out a small piece of silver weighing about two taels, returned the rest of the money to the old man, and said: "I can't cure the corpse poison in you, so I have to send you to the Jishi Medical Center in the town overnight to find a miracle doctor. You use it yourself." Protect your heart with true energy, now I will go to the village chief to borrow an ox cart to take you there. After you arrive at the Jishi Medical Center, you will say that Longchi from Shitanzi introduced you, and go to Beitang Weiji."

The old man nodded and replied, "Yes."

Holding the sword, Longchi hurried out, rushed all the way to the village chief's house, knocked on the door hard, and shouted: "Village chief, village chief."

Not long after, footsteps sounded, the door opened, and an old man with gray hair opened the door. He held an oil lamp in his hand, and looked behind Longchi. He saw no one else, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Long Chi said: "An old man rushed down from the river, was scratched by the wandering corpse, and he is still alive. Please let the big strong man put on the bullock cart and take him to the Jishi Medical Center in the town." She said and handed the money to the old man , Said: "This is hard work."

The village chief scolded: "That water bandit will be punished by the sky sooner or later! Was there another ghost screaming in Shitanzi just now? It's a crime!" He shouted again: "Big strong man, big strong man, don't sleep!"

A woman's vicious voice came from the house: "In the middle of the night, people are not allowed to sleep! Doing good deeds is not like this! It is not easy to raise cattle..."

A man's scolding voice came out: "Don't worry!"

Longchi replied, "Two taels of silver."

The woman's tone changed immediately, she kept urging: "Go quickly."

A child's drowsy voice sounded: "Mother, I'm going too."

The woman scolded again: "What are you going to do? How unlucky! Sleep!"

A middle-aged man opened the door curtain and came out. He put on his shoes as he walked, and said, "I'll leave when I put on the ox cart."

Long Chi returned home in Da Zhuangzi's ox cart, helped the old man into the car, and said to him, "I have to go to the water village to see, so I won't see you off, Da Zhuangzi will take you there."

Big Zhuangzi heard the words and said to Longchi: "Little Chizi, be careful, don't play tricks with those water bandits again."

Longchi responded with a full mouth.

The old man was sitting on the cart, and the corpse poison made him weak. He said to Longchi: "Little girl, old man Sha Cangfeng, thank you!" , the old man wrote it down. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever, and there will be a period later."

Da Zhuangzi was suddenly curious: "Hey, are you always running around?" He thought about it and said, "That's right. If you don't have any skills, how can you escape from that water bandit?"

Sha Cangfeng silently glanced at Da Zhuangzi, then bowed his hands towards Longchi, and left in Da Zhuangzi's ox cart.

Long Chixin said: "Whoever runs the rivers and lakes is a water mouse." She didn't delay any longer, and rushed to the water village upstream.

The upstream water village is called Bamen Village, not far from the tidal flat village.From Bamenzhai, you can get to the tidal flat village in half a day.

The eight gates of Bamen Village are Qimen Dunjia's eight gates of opening, resting, life, injury, Du, scene, death and shock. The whole water village is a large array of eight gates, like a giant beast entrenched on the river. , If the passing ships have not paid enough fares, or if there are things they like on board, the ship will often be destroyed.

They not only robbed pedestrian boats, but also robbed ghost burial boats in the past.

There are many evil spirits and ghosts in this section of the river, but those who can make the ghost howl just now and scare the bronze ghost ship away must be more powerful.

She didn't know if the ghost burial boat later fought with Bamenzhai, but she could watch the excitement, anyway, it's all things that harm people, dogs eat dogs, and their mouths are full of hair.

She has been running fast since she was a child, and what she is best at is running on mountain roads. Even on narrow trails on cliffs, she runs like flat ground, faster than sailing with the wind and the water.

Bamen Village is built on a wide river, with steep cliffs on both sides of the river bank.The water village is built in the shape of the eight trigrams, and is formed by connecting large ships with strong fences.

There are all kinds of boats, big and small, in the water village. The small ones are small boats that can only carry one or two people. They are shaped like shuttles and travel across the river quickly. This kind of boat is specially used for chasing and fleeing Used by travelers in boats or diving for their lives.The big one is a three-storey building with carved and painted buildings, resplendent and magnificent.The lights are brightly lit at night, looking from a distance, it looks like a fairy palace.

Tonight the wind is calm and the full moon is shining brightly, but the river where Bamenzhai is located is covered with thick fog.Bamenzhai is shrouded in thick fog, half hidden and half visible, and the sound of chant from the water village can be heard even if it is far away.

"One, two, three, pull..."

"One, two, three, pull..."

The neat and clear voice seemed to be shouted by hundreds of people at the same time.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind him.

Longchi was startled suddenly, he drew his sword abruptly, stared at the bushes behind him vigilantly, and listened intently to the sounds coming from the bushes.It was the sound of plants and trees shaking slightly, as if something was stepping on these plants and approaching her quickly.

As the sound approached, suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the grass.

Long Chi stabbed towards the sword, her sword tip was pressed against the hilt of a sword that was approaching, and the hilt was engraved with words: Santu.

Santu Lihun Sword, the sword of her master Santu Taoist.

She quickly retracted her sword and called out: "Master."

Taoist Santu said "hmm", then leaned over to the edge of the cliff and looked towards Bamen Village on the river.

Long Chi looked at her master curiously, and asked, "Did you also hear that ghost howling?"

Taoist Santu said "hmm" again, staring intently at the surface of the river.

Longchi often suspects that her master is a mountain mouse.

Mouse is a general term for tomb robbers. There are many schools of tomb robbers, and laymen can't tell them apart, so they are divided into mountain mice and water mice.

Water rats walk in the waters where boat burials are customary all the year round, mainly stealing ship burial coffins, not only stealing ghost burial boats, but also stealing water burial boats.Shanmozi robbed and dug mountain tombs.The mountain tombs are different from the boat coffins. The boat coffins drift with the current and their positions are not fixed. After the mountain tombs are buried, they will not move again. In order to prevent the tombs from being robbed by mountain rats, they are usually buried very concealed.Therefore, the mountain mouse circles the mountains all year round, looking for traces of mountain tombs.

Her master, Santu Taoist, since she can remember, has often carried his Santu Lihun Sword on his back, holding a big compass in his hand, wandering all over the mountains and plains.

The reason why he is suspicious but not sure is because his master is handsome, Mr. Li Tang, a fortune teller in the town, can read his face, and when he talked to her about her master's face, he said a lot of good things, saying that her master is a man of integrity. people.

Her master taught her swordsmanship, taught her to stand upright, and to behave properly. He never taught her how to be a mountain rat. He also told her that dead people's wealth is partial wealth and evil wealth. Most of them died so violently that they didn't end well, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to use the money from the corpses on the corpse beach to buy her favorite candy cake.

There was a thick fog on the river, and she couldn't see clearly, so she chatted with her master and asked, "Master, where have you been for the past half month?"

Taoist Santu stared intently at the river, "Walk around."

Longchi said: "The river is full of fog. I can't see anything clearly. What is there to see? Master, I met a bronze burial boat for raising ghosts today. The boat was three feet three feet long and it was very small. Corpse..." In the middle of her words, her master suddenly turned his head, as if he had heard some great news.She said, "You know?"

Taoist Santu asked, "Have you gone up?"

Long Chi said: "Er Gouzi was caught by a group of water mice, I will rescue him."

Taoist Santu carefully looked at Longchi, but he didn't see her injured, nor did he mention that Er Gouzi was injured, so he nodded lightly and said, "Tell me in detail what kind of boat it is? Besides, there are eighteen corpse monsters and Dingshui shark beads?"

Longchi exclaimed in surprise: "Master, do you know this boat? Have you encountered it before?"

Taoist Santu's expression suddenly became heavy, and he confirmed again: "How many boats are you on?"

Longchi nodded.

Taoist Santu asked again, "Who is the water mouse on the boat?"

"Among them is an old man whose surname is Sha, named Sha Cangfeng. He is the only one who survived the group of water mice who boarded the boat. Do you know him?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it." Taoist Santu said, staring at the river with a more serious expression, and said: "That boat is the boat of Taisui Ghost King's family, and the only daughter Xiya, ghost Taisui's only daughter, was buried on board."

Long Chi said "Oh" and said, "I don't know you." She asked, "Master, you keep staring at Bamenzhai, is there something wrong?"

Taoist Santu took a deep look at Longchi, and said in a deep voice, "Bamenzhai probably got into trouble with the Seventh Burial Ship this time."
