Chapter 133 The water monster
"Really, really killed it?"
You Yuwei was stunned, she felt it was too psychedelic.
How could Sister Hong, who was transformed into Jiang Sha, be killed by Liu Hou so easily?
Just now, Liu Hou clearly cast a holding spell on the piece of land next to Sister Hong, but what was fixed was Sister Hong's body.
What is the principle of this?
Liu Hou put away his sword, grabbed You Yuwei, and ran away in the direction he came from: "Let's go."
You Yuwei didn't understand: "Sister Hong is dead, where are we going?"
"Who said it was dead? All that died was its human skin. Its true body is right under our feet!"
Liu Hou said hastily.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening rumble under his feet.
It was like an earthquake, and Liu Hou and You Yuwei couldn't stand firm.
A dull voice from the ground, like a thunderbolt from the blue, came out: "You actually destroyed my skin, I want you to die!"
That voice was filled with hatred.
Apparently he hated Liu Hou for destroying his hard-won human body.
"What is this!"
You Yuwei was horrified, as if something huge was about to burst out of the ground.
That big thing is probably dozens of meters long.
"We were all wrong, wrong from the beginning."
Liu Hou dragged You Yuwei and said while desperately trying to escape from the bulge of the underground giant:
"Sister Hong's true identity is not a river evil spirit, but a water vein."
"Water veins?"
You Yuwei had never heard of this thing: "What is water veins?"
"Uncle Jing of the Southern Dynasties compiled a book called Yiyuan.
There is a description of water veins.
In the eighth year of Chiwu reign of Wu Sunquan, he sent the captain Chen Xun to Cao Jurong to cut through the Yao on the middle road and unearthed a black object.
It has no head or tail, looks like hundreds of Dendrobium boats, is tens of feet long, and moves clumsily.
After a while, the liquid melted and turned into juice. No one at that time could recognize this.
Later, a spring source, or water vein, was found. Every time there was a severe drought, all the remaining water was exhausted, but this huge stream remained.
This is the earliest record of water veins."
Liu Hou explained.
But there is another version of this story.
The water vein mentioned in "Yiyuan" appeared in 238 AD, that is, 1,728 years ago.
Sun Quan sent his captains Chen Xun and Cao Jurong to dig a river channel to widen it for transporting troops. However, they dug out a dark object on the river bank.
It's actually a living creature, and you can't tell clearly where the head is and where the tail is.
It was as big as a hundred-year-old boat, about sixty meters long, and was about to move in the mud at the bottom of the river.
Everyone was shocked, and they all said that it was no wonder that there were frequent floods in this river. It turned out that this evil was at work.
As soon as the monster revealed its body, several pitch-black tentacles were raised high and slapped down, turning the many workers cleaning the river silt into a pulp.
Chen Xun, the captain of the school, was so frightened that Cao Jurong ran back to report.
In the end, the imperial court sent the Demon Master and many Taoist priests to subdue the monster. That day of the battle, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, many real people died, and the monster called Water Veins was eliminated.
The dead water veins melted into black juice and blended into the soil.
The Demon Master also ordered the Taoist priests to build a barrier with red threads and copper coins where the water veins died, so as to prevent evil spirits from breeding in that land again.
Liu Hou speculated that the place where the water veins were cut was mentioned in "Yiyuan", which was located in Linjiang, above the red building where he was now.
However, the Taoist priests of Xiao Mo Division one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight years ago still miscalculated.
The water vein that died more than a thousand years ago finally gave birth to another water vein hundreds of years later, and that was the prototype of Sister Hong.
Because the water vein was trapped by the barrier of copper coins and red threads, it never came out and harmed the world.
The place where it is located has also become a backwater harboring dirt and evil because of the influence of water veins.
Shuimai spent more than a thousand years alone in this way, trapped in that small square inch of land.
In the end, Duan Cun and Duan Shun accidentally broke in, breaking Sister Hong's loneliness.
Sister Hong longs for excitement, longs for recognition from other creatures, and longs for a sense of existence.
Whether those creatures are alive or dead.
So in order to no longer be lonely, it simply killed everyone in Duan Village. It made the corpses into mummies and dragged them back to the shore of Huishui.
They dug out the huge space deep underground and arranged these mummies into dolls.
Stay with it every day.
Sister Hong's worldview is distorted, and her emotions are also distorted.
The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and more than a hundred years have passed.
The backwaters were leveled and the Red Building was built.
Coincidentally, the Red Building is built on the nest dug out by the water veins.
Shuimai, who calls herself Sister Hong, is lurking in the Red Mansion. No wonder rumors that the Red Mansion is haunted soon spread.
There are no ghosts here, but there are monsters.
A monster with a twisted personality that is more terrifying than a ghost!
After reasoning here, many things can be explained.
The tentacles that took away the eyes of the residents in the Red Mansion were the tentacles on Sister Hong's body, Shuimai.
Sister Hong's skin is just a puppet, usually placed on the tentacles of the water veins, pretending to be human.
Attacking that skin sac is useless.
Only by attacking the body of the water vein can it be harmed.
Clues of the huge Hong Sister’s true identity underground have already been revealed.
Tentacles emerged from the soil, grabbing at Liu Hou and You Yuwei who were constantly escaping. The situation was precarious for a while.
The water vein more than 1,700 years ago was more than 60 meters long, and although Sister Hong was smaller, she was no less generous.
At least thirty meters in length.
There are more tentacles on the body, which are constantly breaking out of the ground. No matter where the two of them flee, there will be tentacles blocking their way.
The two of them kept blasting with talismans and slashing with peach wood swords.
This bloody road is so hopeless that it seems like a dead end.
Every time Sister Hong's tentacles are cut off, they will grow back.
The water veins were born from the evil energy of the neighboring river and turned into spirits.
If the evil spirit of Huishui Dang is not cleared away, Sister Hong's body's tentacles will not be able to cut them all.
Liu Hou smiled bitterly in his heart.
Fellow Taoist Hongyun, I didn’t expect that after going around and around, the matter I was dealing with turned into an issue left over from the history of your Xiao Mo Division.
If we don't break the backwater and let the water from the neighboring river change its course.
I can't hold it any longer!

At the same time, outside the Red Mansion.
After Hongyuntianxin reported the matter of the Red Mansion to Xiao Mo Si, Xiao Mo Si took it very seriously.
He also agreed to the plan given by Liu Hou.
All the manpower of Xiaomo Division near Spring City has been deployed, and a large number of bombs have been deployed.
The Demon Division also asked several old monsters to help deduce the explosion location given by Liu Hou.
After some deductions, even the old monsters of Xiaomo Division were impressed by Liu Hou's ingenious deductions.
Is this really a method that a fourth-level red-fire apprentice Taoist priest can deduce in a short period of time?
If that's true, then Liu Hou is definitely a genius.
Those old monsters all had their index fingers twitching, and they all started thinking of recruiting disciples.
Don't mention this, it's all for the future.
Hongyun held a walkie-talkie in his hand and kept directing everyone to get in place, and even Tianxin became unusually serious.
Because several old monsters from the Demon Division have deduced other things.
After the divination, their expressions changed drastically, and they ran into the Demon Division's Collection Pavilion to search for it.
I dug out ancient books from that year and discovered that a water vein once appeared in this area.
Water veins are rare and extremely rare.
But every time it appears, it will cause great natural and man-made disasters.
It's a big disaster.
Although I can't say for sure whether what happened in the Red Mansion this time was caused by Shui Mei.
But Xiaomaoshi didn't dare to gamble.
Because this possibility is extremely high.
"Friend Liu Hou, I hope you can come out alive."
Hongyun's eyes were fixed on the red building.
The red building stood quietly, its dilapidated floors glowing blood red in the moonlight.
