Chapter 3: There is nothing that cannot be solved by a sword [New book, please collect it! ]
As the last rays of the setting sun cast their rays over the mountains, the sound of a shepherd boy's flute could be heard as he returned home late.
Li Chu stood up from the cushion with a normal expression, stretched his body, and straightened the wrinkles on his Taoist robe.
It's another day without any pilgrims coming to visit.
From this day until this moment, Li Chu's spirit and body completely belonged to himself, and he became a truly free person.
In simple terms, he was off work.
Even though he did nothing all day.
The life of the little Taoist priest is so simple and boring.
He turned back to the backyard and began preparing dinner.
After the master and disciple finished their dinner, he stood up and said to Yu Qian'an, "Master, I need to go out for a while."
Yu Qian'an nodded gently: "Be careful."
"yes."
After saying hello, Li Chu walked out of the temple.
This time he went out a little earlier than usual, it was still dark, and the ghosts of Shilipu had not yet come out. The direction he went was also different from the past.
He was walking towards the river.
Yuhang Town is close to the estuary of the East China Sea and is surrounded by many river systems, including the Heishui River.
The Heishui River is not outstanding in width and depth among the surrounding rivers, but it is quite special and no one has ever dared to approach it.
Because there is a water ghost in the river.
In fact, there are some legends about water ghosts in all big rivers, but the one in Heishui River is particularly powerful.
It is said that because of the huge flood more than a hundred years ago, many people died in the Heishui River. This water ghost sucked many souls and suddenly became very powerful.
In other places, if there are water ghosts, the most you can do is not go into the water. But in the Black River, even if you stand on the shore, as long as you take a look at the river surface, you may be fascinated.
Over time, the entire banks of the Heishui River became a forbidden area.
No one had been in trouble for a long time, but last year, some naughty kid wasn't watched carefully and went to play by the river, where he was bewitched by a water ghost.
By chance, Brother Niu from the next village saw it and couldn't bear it, so he jumped into the water to rescue him.
Brother Niu is a good sailor who goes fishing at sea all year round. Even with his hands and feet tied, he can flap his wings faster than the fish.
But after he pushed the child up, he didn't come up himself.
Moreover, after Brother Niu died, his body was as heavy as a rock and sank into the middle of the river without being able to float up. No one dared to salvage his body.
Niu Erge's family had nowhere to turn to, so they had to listen to the villagers' advice and invite a Taoist priest to build an altar and sincerely offer sacrifices to the water ghost in the river.
The water ghost then made the body float to the surface, and Brother Niu was able to rest in peace.
So domineering!
Li Chu traveled through time just before this sacrifice, so this water ghost left a deep impression on him.
In other words, a very bad impression.
At that time, some people asked why they didn't ask a cultivator to kill the water ghost. The old people in the village said that they had asked for help in the early years.
However, this water ghost has already become a powerful figure with a very high level of cultivation. If ordinary cultivators come here, they will die. Those with higher cultivation levels cannot do anything to it.
Because it has almost merged with the Black Water River, coming and going freely in the river, without leaving any trace. How can it be eliminated?
Unless there is really a powerful person who can take action, but such a person cannot be invited by a small fishing village.
We can only wait for a few decades. Maybe it will become the river god of the Black Water River, and then it will no longer need to harm people.
But Li Chu thought this was unreasonable.
Brother Niu is undoubtedly a good man.
This water ghost is undoubtedly an evil ghost.
Then why is it that evil ghosts have the opportunity to complete their merits after killing people, but good people have their bodies held hostage even after they die?
This incident made him feel a little angry.
The master said that everyone has his own destiny.
But he felt that good people shouldn't have such a fate.
This is not the fate of an evil spirit.
So he kept this incident in his heart, including the anger.
After reaching level 71 last night, the first thing he wanted to do was come here for a walk.
The riverside is full of red flowers and green willows, lush grass, and warblers flying and dancing among them. It is a very beautiful scene in the sunset.
Li Chu strolled along the scene.
So the picture becomes even more beautiful.
As he walked, he felt a cool breeze blowing from the river, causing ripples on the water.
He turned his head and looked towards the river.
But what he saw was not a handsome face.
On the contrary, what was reflected in the water was a huge face with green face and fangs, which was ferocious, terrifying and ugly.
Li Chu smiled slightly.
Finally waited for you.
Before he laughed, the ghost in the water smiled first, a greedy and hideous smile.
A man and a ghost, smiling at each other.
Immediately, the scene in Li Chu's eyes changed.
There was no longer a ghost face under the water, but a pile of golden gold, right within reach, as if you could pick up the priceless treasure by just bending down!
He didn't move.
The light and shadow changed, and a dragon throne appeared under the water, with a large jade seal on it. A voice in his ear told him to sit on it, sit on that seat, and the whole world will be his.
He still didn't move.
The light and shadow changed again, this time it became a group of beautiful women. They were all as pretty as flowers, but they refused to wear clothes properly. One showed a bit of breasts, another showed two long legs, and the deeper part was vaguely visible. It seemed that as long as you stretched out your hand, you could tear off the thin gauze skirt.
Li Chu finally moved.
He drew out the iron sword behind him and swung it forward.
laugh--
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The tip of the sword cut through the air.
Immediately afterwards, the flowing river water stagnated.
boom--
The river flows upstream!
Suddenly, the river water that had been flowing slowly suddenly split in the middle! Water walls several feet high instantly formed on both sides! And they surged at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Where he swung his sword, a vacuum zone nearly ten feet wide appeared, instantly exposing the dry and messy riverbed. Many unlucky fish didn't know what was going on, and suddenly appeared in the air from the water, their eyes widened.
His eyes were full of confusion and innocence.
On the riverbed, there was also a faint green shadow, which was the true form of the water ghost. Over the years, it had lost its human form, but its eyes were still vaguely recognizable.
The emotions in its eyes are not much different from those in fish eyes.
But the water ghost is still more intelligent than the fish. In addition to widening its eyes, it also produces a series of rapid psychological activities.
This is you...
What is...
Is it a god?
The water ghost looked up at the handsome young man on the shore who casually swung a sword, feeling a little confused.
He stopped the water?
No……
He cut the river in half!
In this way, he forced himself out of the river!
This guy is coming for me!
You don't want to talk? Why?
etc!
Danger!
That's right, Li Chu came for him. He thought about it for a whole meal before coming up with this idea.
Since you can come and go freely in the river without leaving any trace, I will cut the river off first.
What happens to a water ghost without water?
ghost?
No.
It’s a dead ghost!
Li Chu raised his hand slightly and the second sword fell.
laugh--
The vague shadow suddenly shattered, carrying with it his hundred years of cultivation and his dream of becoming a river god, and was then washed away by the falling river water.
His last thoughts in this ghostly life were just two words.
Playing tricks...
Li Chu calmly put the sword back into its sheath.
Cut the river with one sword.
Kill the ghost with one sword.
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with a sword.
If so, then two swords.
In a flash, the fish in the air returned to the bottom of the water. This brief gap was not even enough for them to figure out whether they were birds or fish. But it didn't matter, after seven seconds, they would forget about this thrilling journey.
A burst of rich white light merged into his body, and Li Chu let out a long breath. As expected of a hundred-year-old water ghost, the experience points given were really high.
However, the rewards were commensurate with the risks, and it was also the first time he encountered such a dangerous situation - if the water ghost's illusion was a thousand times stronger, he might have really been bewitched.
Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
