Chapter 263: Take Care, Vow to Attract Ghosts
But she did have the ability to say so. Eleventh Lady's father was the water god of the E'nu River. She had been in front of Lady Lingxiao since she was a child. With two big mountains behind her, it was really not difficult for her to become a righteous god.
But for Chen Xi, it was far from being as easy as he had imagined.
Fortunately, Chen Xi did not take her words seriously. This round-faced and round-eyed dragon girl was a rough person. She was not stupid, but she was really naive.
Eleventh Lady and Fu Luo said goodbye first and flew away on the water-laden wind.
Lei Boyang grabbed Chen Jiayu by the scruff of the neck and came back, saying, "Brother Jiayu, you've caught enough fish to eat. Why kill more?"
Chen Jiayu waved his claws and said, "I just caught them for fun! I won't do anything to them!"
Not all monsters in the water need to be killed. Many of the monsters attracted by the blood of the disaster demon are originally under the command of the fish, which he calls water monsters.
Those monsters that have not been recruited by the fish as water demons do not need to be killed indiscriminately and can be given a chance to live.
Chen Jiayu was having so much fun that he didn't control his mind, so Lei Boyang grabbed his neck and brought him back.
Gong Mengbi said: "Brother Chenxi, Tangxi is relying on you."
Chen Xi said: "I am going to settle down here, how can I not devote myself to it."
He laughed and said, "I'll go look underwater first and find a suitable place to build a water palace for my shelter."
Gong Mengbi watched him jump off the cliff, fall into the water, and then turn into a slender black shadow and disappear.
Lei Boyang said, "Without the demons blocking our way, there will be no obstacles to building the dam. Furthermore, with the help of your friend, it seems the flood will soon cease."
Lei Boyang bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Mingfu, for your help."
Gong Mengbi helped him up and said, "Where justice lies, there is no need to say more. Brother Boyang broke the door and apostatized for the victims. What a righteous act! Compared to that, I just walked an extra mile."
Gong Mengbi didn't take it seriously, which made Lei Boyang admire him even more.
The matter of disasters and demons is obviously complicated. Someone has made the arrangements, but who would be willing to wade into this muddy water?
This matter had nothing to do with Gong Mengbi. The matter of the Rat King might have happened at the right time, but he could have refused the matter of catching fish. However, he went there knowing that there was a tiger there.
Lei Boyang said no more, but he remembered it clearly in his heart.
Wen Xiu landed on Gong Mengbi's shoulder and asked, "Should we go back now, or wait a while?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Wait a moment. Let's wait until Chen Xi finds a place to stay before we leave. I need to go back to the city first."
After arriving in the county town, Gong Mengbi naturally went to look for the inn where Chenshan stayed.
Shen Shan knew that he was here to exorcise demons, so he smiled and said, "Congratulations to the Fox Fairy for returning victoriously."
Gong Mengbi asked, "You know I won?"
Shen Shan pointed to the sky, where the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky: "I don't know, God knows."
Gong Mengbi smiled and shook his head, saying, "The demon has been slain. When I entered the city, I saw the people celebrating the Dragon King's victory. Now that the dragon has settled in Tangxi, it may one day be called the Water God."
Shen Shan was overjoyed: "With the protection of the water god, the flood will surely subside."
Gong Mengbi said, "I'm waiting for a guest and will be leaving soon. Do your best. I'll be watching you the whole time."
Shen Shan said, "I dare not disappoint the fox fairy."
Gong Mengbi wanted to wait for someone, so Chen Shan didn't stay long.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came into the inn, followed by a thin and a tall follower.
Seeing Gong Mengbi, he quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Immortal, for saving Tangxi from the dire straits."
Gong Mengbi said, "You're welcome. Please take a seat, Lord City God."
The City God said, "The demons have retreated. I am going to the city to escort the dead souls. I will not sit here any longer."
He winked behind him, and the judges on his left and right took out a yellow cloth bag and placed it respectfully in front of Gong Mengbi.
The City God said, "Thank you for your kindness, Immortal. I only have a few valuables to offer you as a reward. It is truly embarrassing. Please accept them."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "No need for reward, but I have something to ask of the City God."
The City God, on the other hand, showed a delighted expression and said, "Please speak."
Gong Mengbi said, "I've invited a friend to exorcise demons, and I'm sure you've already seen him. The flood in Tangxi hasn't subsided yet, and we need a water god to take charge. So I've invited him to stay in Tangxi. I hope the City God will forgive me and take good care of me in the future."
The City God said, "Of course I should. Even if the Immortal Master didn't tell me, I would still take care of it."
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you very much, Lord City God."
As he spoke, Gong Mengbi disappeared like smoke, and the yellow cloth bag on the table remained untouched.
The City God said with great emotion, "What a master! Keep it. If the Immortal Master doesn't want it, we can keep it to manage the affairs of the upper and lower classes and avoid being reprimanded by the county officials."
When he returned to the cliff, Chen Jiayu had already calmed down and turned into a young man sitting on a rock basking in the sun.
Wen Xiu felt more at ease when he saw him back. He was somewhat worried when he was beside Chen Jiayu. If Lei Boyang hadn't been meditating nearby, he might have flown away to play.
Several people were waiting on the cliff. Gong Mengbi had nothing to do, so he took out a wooden box and took out the frozen severed finger.
Wen Xiu asked, "What are you doing?"
Gong Mengbi used the severed finger to perform a spell of exorcism and said, "This evil ghost nearly dragged Shenshan into the water. I want to see if he is still alive."
When the method of exorcism was used, the severed finger responded.
Gong Mengbi exclaimed softly, "You actually escaped a disaster and are still alive and well."
Gong Mengbi held the severed finger and exhaled a breath of white air, which was like a silk string tied to it. He pulled the white air as if it were a thread and said, "Come! Come! Come!"
Wen Xiu looked around and said, "He's not here yet."
Gong Mengbi said, "Wait a moment."
After waiting for a while, I saw a black shadow swimming in the water.
The dark figure swam to the edge of the cliff and tried to climb up, but as soon as it emerged from the water, it was burned by the sun and cried out in pain. It was as if it had just woken up from a dream and wondered, "How did I get here?"
Gong Mengbi walked to the edge of the cliff with an ice cube, threw it in front of him, and asked, "Your severed finger?"
The water ghost immediately hid his right arm with the broken palm and said with a flattering smile: "It's not mine, it's not mine."
Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes and said, "How audacious! You still dare to quibble. Arrest him."
Wen Xiu spread his wings and was about to catch the water ghost.
The water ghost immediately prostrated himself and kowtowed, shouting, "Goddess, I plead guilty and am willing to atone for my sins!"
Gong Mengbi stretched out his arm, and Wenxiu landed on his arm to trim the feathers.
Gong Mengbi asked, "What can you do to atone for your sins?"
The water ghost suppressed his heartache and said in a tearful voice, "I know where the water palace of the fish is hidden. There must be treasures in it."
Lei Boyang opened his eyes and walked to Gong Mengbi. The two looked at each other and said, "Lead the way."
The water ghost didn't dare to say anything extra. He turned around and dived into the water, leading the way.
Gong Mengbi and Lei Boyang followed closely behind. Chen Jiayu said, "I won't go into the water. I'll wait for you on the shore!"
Wen Xiu also jumped up and said, "I'm not going either."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand, and Lei Boyang turned around and said, "Brother, don't run around. Wait for us to come back."
Chen Jiayu said, "Go quickly."
Lei Boyang shook his head and sighed, "Senior brother is so naughty, he always makes me worried."
Comparing Chen Jiayu's performance before and after Lei Boyang appeared, Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I think Brother Jiayu is very clever."
He waved his sleeves and the wind blew up. He used the wind as a screen to wrap himself and Lei Boyang in it, and then dived into the water.
