Chapter 95 There are still people underwater...
Xialiu Village.
A name that you must pronounce correctly or else you might get into trouble.
This is all because of a sturdy willow tree that has grown for hundreds of years. It looks like a strong man in women's clothes with loose hair, standing at the bend of Liuhua River with a proud and confident look.
Taking this big willow tree as a landmark, the village upstream was named Shangliu Village, and the village downstream was named Xialiu Village.
Liuhua River is one of the more famous rivers in Hangzhou.
One reason is that the river is wide and the waterway is long, running across the city of Hangzhou and directly leading to the East China Sea. Only a small section of the river is within the territory of Yuhang County.
The second reason is that the scenery on both sides of the river is beautiful, with spring flowers, autumn moon, summer willows and winter plum blossoms, and the scenery is new in all four seasons.
Therefore, wealthy families in Hangzhou often come here for fun on small boats or pleasure boats on sunny days.
Like the villagers in other villages in Yuhang County, most of the villagers in Xialiu Village rely on fishing for their livelihood, and a small number of them engage in farming.
This can be seen from the layout of their village.
Most of the houses are built along the river bank, with only a small number on the opposite side, closer to farmland.
Li Chu had just returned from the sea, and he came here with the fox girl and the villagers, but it was almost dark.
He brought the fox girl with him again this time because Li Chu found that it was very convenient to take her out.
His appearance was so attractive that he could easily attract crowds wherever he went, but his personality was too gentle and easy-going, so it was difficult for him to get away.
At this time, if there is a fox girl with a big tail shaking standing next to you, people will be a little afraid even if her appearance is not scary.
It is unknown when the fox girl will fully transform.
Use it more often while she can still use it.
There were probably twenty or thirty villagers from Xialiu Village who went to Deyun Temple, and that was not all. There were at least eighty or ninety people in the village who had dreamed of that woman, including men, women, young and old.
In Deyun Temple, Yu Qian'an asked carefully and their answers were very consistent.
Everyone dreams of the same scene, which is eerie and the environment is not very clear.
Then a wet woman appeared, with her long and heavy wet hair falling down, covering her face.
It said only that one sentence in a particularly gloomy and cold voice.
"There are people underwater..."
For Li Chu today, the difficulty in exorcising evil spirits does not lie in how to kill it, but in how to find it.
This woman has been appearing in dreams for several days, and no villagers have been harmed. So, her purpose should not be to harm anyone.
It seemed like... he simply wanted to tell the villagers something.
Many people have this dream, and apart from the fact that they are all in Xialiu Village, they have nothing in common.
Doing the same things...going to the same places...
None of these.
The only information it reveals are these four words, leaving little room for imagination.
The scope of underwater is too broad. In a place like Xialiu Village, there are several wells in the village, as well as lakes, rivers, streams, paddy fields, water tanks...
If you are not sure of the location, you may have to wait until next year to look for it one by one.
Even if you use the mind's eye technique to conduct a thorough search, it will still take a lot of effort.
Because so many people had had this dream, Li Chu did not visit them one by one.
Thought about it.
He decided to ask people who had not had this dream.
There were only about twenty villagers in the village who had not had this dream. The village chief quickly called them all over and questioned them in his home.
The villagers were very cooperative, because they were the most panicked group in the village right now...
When everyone has experienced something but you haven’t, you will inevitably feel suspicious…
But these villagers include men, women, young and old, and they don’t have any special features.
Li Chu asked a few basic questions and let them leave.
but……
When they came, they came in twos and threes, and Li Chu hadn't noticed it. When they left, a large group of people left together, and he noticed it.
These villagers were all walking in the same direction.
"Do they live close to each other?" Li Chu asked.
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Yes, they all farm on that side of the village."
Li Chu nodded.
It turns out that things are very simple...
It’s just that the villagers may not have experienced such a thing, and they were panicked for a moment and didn’t think about it.
All those who dreamed of that woman lived by the Liuhua River.
Those who have not dreamed of that woman do not live by the river.
In this way, it can be confirmed that the appearance of the woman is related to Liuhua River.
The underwater it mentioned is most likely the Liuhua River!
Tonight the stars and the moon are shining.
Li Chu brought the fox girl to the Liuhua River, and no villagers dared to follow them.
He closed his eyes quietly.
The range of the mind's eye technique covered a section of the river and slowly seeped downwards.
But Li Chu was not disturbed too much and quickly locked onto the bottom of the riverbed, where there was a group of stagnant and gloomy energy.
This group of negative energy is not strong, but the surroundings are very clean, and only here may some dirty things be produced.
Li Chuxing was so excited that he suddenly wanted to try out the water-repellent beads he had recently purchased.
The bead happened to be on him, so he didn't need to prepare anything else. He just gave the purse to the fox girl to take good care of.
He leaped into the water.
Li Chu entered the water, but there was no splashing sound or splashing.
It was as if the water automatically parted to welcome him in.
And the feeling after entering the water is even more magical.
If all the water was really blocked, then Li Chu should have fallen all the way.
But the reality is not so.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Your feet can use the force to walk, and your body can move freely. The name "water-repelling" doesn't seem quite appropriate, it should be called water-controlling beads. It's like all the water flows have suddenly become your friends.
Support you when you need it, keep your distance when you don't.
Li Chu slowly moved down while feeling the magic of the water-repellent beads.
Then……
In the place where the negative energy was gathered, there was indeed an existence that might produce ghosts.
A dead body.
A female corpse with long flowing hair and dressed in brocade, which had not floated up and had hardly changed even after being underwater for an unknown period of time.
You can even see that this woman had a beautiful face and a curvy figure when she was alive.
Imagine the scene: in the dark night, at the bottom of the water, facing a lifelike corpse that seems to be about to open its eyes at any moment...
Then, Li Chu leaned forward and gave her a princess hug...
He picked up the female corpse, turned around and walked back, quickly breaking through the water and reappearing.
"Master." The fox girl called out.
"It went smoothly." Li Chu replied.
When the village chief saw the young Taoist priest carrying a female corpse into his home in the middle of the night, his face turned green.
Although Li Chu said calmly that there was no need to be afraid.
But at a time like this...whoever is not afraid is a grandson.
"I think she may have drowned in Liuhua River due to some accident, and she didn't want her body to be exposed here, so she came to you in a dream." Li Chu explained: "Now as long as we send this body away, everything should be fine."
This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. Many people who die suddenly will have this kind of "lingering ghost" condition.
This kind of ghost doesn't have any special abilities, it survives only by an obsession. As long as its body is properly placed, it will dissipate on its own.
The villagers wanted to bury the body quickly and properly, but it was not that simple.
If a person dies out of nowhere, it must be reported to the government office and the body must be sent to the morgue in the government office.
Determining the cause of death, confirming the identity, finding family members... there are still many processes to be done.
So a few brave villagers, together with Li Chu, sent the female corpse to the yamen at night.
The matter is settled here.
Once its body is fished out, the ghost of this woman will be gone.
…
Unexpectedly, Chow Tai Fook came to the door early the next morning.
"My little Taoist priest Li, I beg you to be kind and deal with that female corpse."
Zhou Dafu had two dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were lifeless and he looked terrified.
Li Chu frowned and asked, "What happened again?"
Zhou Dafu said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it. I had a nightmare yesterday and woke up in shock. Then I asked and found that all the brothers in our room had the same dream."
"I dreamed of a woman who was soaking wet and said to me in a sinister voice..."
"There are still people underwater..."
Why are the recommendation votes declining day by day in the past two days? Is it because I updated too late... I'll try early today.
Thanks to "Zi Ziweiwei" for the reward of 5,000, thanks to "Starry Sky Baron" for the reward of 5,000, thanks to "Qinglian Jianjun a" for the reward of 500 for posting pictures, and thanks to "Genius De Duxiu" for the reward of 500.
