Water ghosts are cannibals. They will come ashore and grab people from the water, then share and eat them. Therefore, on every full moon night, people in the Wujiang River basin lock their doors and tie the doors and windows with iron chains to prevent water ghosts from breaking in.
This incident was originally a rumor, just like the custom of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. At first, everyone just treated it as a festival. However, as the full moon nights continued to appear in the Wujiang River Basin over the past few months, some people who stayed at home were attacked by water ghosts at night and dragged into the Wujiang River and disappeared.
As the number of cases increased, each county quickly reported them to the court, which attracted the attention of the Seven Star Supervisor, who then sent people to investigate the situation.
However, unexpectedly, before the situation was fully investigated, this group of people disappeared inexplicably. Only then did the court send people to inform Qin Yuesheng to investigate the cause and effect.
The big ship was sailing down the Wujiang River. Feng Nan stood on the deck and looked at the dead White Lotus Sect members and demons with a serious face. He admired and feared Qin Yuesheng's methods.
"Master Feng, we suffered a lot of casualties this time. Thirty-six believers died." Feng Nan's confidant walked up to him and said.
"It's a blessing for these people to die at the hands of the White Lotus Saint Envoy. Just throw their bodies into the river. We haven't finished the job yet, so it's not advisable to bring them along. Otherwise, if they get rotten and stink, it will anger the Saint Envoy, which will be bad."
"I understand."
Feng Nan asked, "We've traveled hundreds of miles on the Wu River. How long will it take to reach the Great Buddha Cave?"
"According to the old farmer I captured, the Great Buddha Cave is located in the middle reaches of the Wujiang River. Master Feng, we will be able to arrive there by daybreak."
Feng Nan patted his belly and said, "Tell the boatman to row faster and try to get there as early as possible."
"I understand."
After the White Lotus Sect members threw all the corpses on the deck into the river, they took rags and buckets to wash away the blood stains on the deck. Soon, the ship returned to its previous appearance. It was estimated that if the river breeze blew for another hour and a half, even the smell of blood would not be smelled.
