Looking at Wang Qilin's smiling face, the boss asked in surprise: "Aren't you scared by me?"

Wang Qilin said, "Look back."

The shopkeeper turned around in a daze and saw a black cat standing on the wine rack behind him holding a dark sword.

The tip of the sword was originally pointed at the back of his head, but now he turned around and pointed the tip of the sword on his forehead.

This dagger is made of strange material, neither iron nor wood nor stone. It looks ordinary, like a toy played by a child.

But the black cat was very strange. It stood there with its tail on its ground and held the dagger with its front paws and its eyes were bright, and its mouth seemed to be smiling evilly.

Crooked Mouth Cat King!

He turned around in shock and immediately took a breath:

Five flying swords were right in front of him.

The shopkeeper shouted in panic: "Good man, please spare me, the villain is just joking with you and wants to scare you."

Wang Qilin said: "People are scary, scary, have you heard this?"

He took out the bronze seal of the Tingtianjian from his arms and slapped it on the table, "Fortunately, you met me and I could identify demons and people, otherwise you would have been dead now! I was scaring people in the middle of the night, this is seeking death!"

The shopkeeper is fine, he is really just joking, which makes him feel deeply regretful.

The bronze lieutenant seal flashed beside the flames of the oil lamp. The shopkeeper's face changed. He hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be an adult from the Heavenly Bureau. The small one had no eyes but could not recognize Mount Tai, and the small one..."

"Okay, you are a human being and not a ghost, don't be afraid of me."

Wang Qilin put away his sword and the bronze seal, and he shook his head for Ba Miao. Ba Miao changed to open his mouth and holding the Thunder God Sword in his mouth, and then ran to his arms happily.

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Sir, this is a divine cat."

Ba Miao licked her paws and pursed her beard, secretly despised the shopkeeper: I don’t know!

Then it thought again that it was indeed a god cat, as if the shopkeeper was right...

Wang Qilin inquired about it and found out about information related to Chenyi Village, which was a surprise.

Unfortunately, I didn't find out the ghost that I could catch that night.

He said to Xie Hama: "Go to Dawei River to take a walk?"

Xie Hata nodded and the two left together.

The shopkeeper reached out to touch the wine jar and wanted to pour wine, sighed: "Where is such a young Tongwei from Tingtianjian? Huh, where is the wine?"

Not only was the wine gone, but his braised tofu seeds were gone!

"Damn, I became a corrupt official at a young age!"

In the stable behind the inn, two strong and burly green mules were happily shaking their tails, one added wine from the jar, and the other was chewing dried tofu.

They seemed to hear something and stopped eating, drinking, tilted their heads and shook their ears, and then continued to lower their heads and drink and eat dried beans.

Scam eating and drinking.

For the strength of Wang Qilin and Xie Hama, the distance between ten miles is very close. After running wildly, I saw a long and wide river.

The moonlight is like water at night? It shines on the river surface, like there is another river flowing on the river.

A small boat was floating in the river in the distance? After the two walked to the river, the boat sailed towards them from afar.

Wang Qilin prayed in his heart: God bless you, the ancestors of the Wang family bless you? This must be a water ghost, let me, Wang, kill it to protect the people.

The boat is approaching? Is an old man on the boat? The old man looks quite evil: there is a talisman on his forehead, several talismans hanging on his body, a small black dog squatting on the boat, a small flagpole erected, and a painting on the flagpole sways in the wind.

Wang Qilin thought that the ancestors of the Wang family had presented him with a rice dumpling? But when he looked closely, he saw Zhong Kui wielding his sword to kill ghosts!

Although the old man had a talisman on his forehead, he should not be a zombie who was killed by Taoist priests and corpse-driver. The zombie would not carry the image of Zhong Kui.

But the old man's outfit made him laugh. He happened to ask what the old man was doing. The other party had already shouted first: "Farther away from the river? It's dark and the road is slippery, so be careful to slide into the water and drown!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Boss? You..."

"What are you? Go back! What are you doing when you come to Daweihe tonight?" the old man said irritably.

Wang Qilin smiled and explained: "Oh, I..."

"What do you think I am? Let you retreat! Say? What do you do when you come to Dawei River tonight? Two big men are resting at home honestly. What do you do when you come to the river?" The old man shouted again.

But the little black dog was wagging its tail? It saw Jiuliu following Wang Qilin.

Wang Qilin was convinced? He had to take two steps back.

Xie Hata came forward? The old man saw his dress clearly in the moonlight and quickly crossed his hands and bowed to him: "Ah, where did Taoist Master come from?"

"The Emperor Wuliang Tianzun." Xie Hamao took the posture of becoming a master, "It's too late, why is the donor still on this river?"

The old man said, "The Taoist priest doesn't know that our Dawei River has always been a little evil. In recent days, I am afraid that people will be drowned again. It was the official of the Tendering School who hired us river workers and fishermen to let us work in the river at night and block people near the river."

Wang Qilin asked curiously: "Hey, Daweihe is going to drown people again recently? Why? I mean, how do you know this?"

The old man looked at the two of them with a wary look without answering, but said, "I heard that you are a foreigner, hurry up and stay away from this river. This river is quite evil. Don't cause trouble and lose your life. It's a tragic thing to die in a foreign land."

Wang Qilin nodded to Xie Hata and said, "Master Dao, take wine and meat, and find out some news from him."

Xie Hata smiled bitterly: "Master Qi, Master Dao didn't prepare so much wine and meat, so he gave the shopkeeper all the inventory."

But he immediately said confidently: "Why do you need to drink and meat when you find out about the news from this father-in-law? Look at the old Taoist's methods."

He reached out and threw out a talisman from his sleeve. The talisman entered the water and then the river surging, and an old turtle as big as a millstone floated out of the water.

The little black dog was so scared that he urinated.

The old man on the boat was still brave enough to pull out a wooden sword from somewhere and shouted: "I have the Nanshan peach wood sword, but the demons and monsters have not retreated quickly. The Emperor Taishang was as anxious as the law!"

Xie Mao stepped on the old turtle on the boat, and the old turtle disappeared on the water.

Seeing this, the old man understood that it was his supernatural power and immediately admired him: "The old master of God, it turned out that the old master of God entered the mortal world. Ordinary people do not know about the old master's Dharma. Please forgive me."

Xie Hama helped him up and smiled and said, "Immortal Save the Debauchery Taiyi Tianzun, I would like to ask you, your words were so serious just now, don't you know that you are Gui Geng this year?"

The old man said, "I'm older, I'm about to be fifty! Where are you, Master God?"

Xie Hata was stunned: "Life is fun, I don't know how many years urge it. After a year of spring, I sent apricot flowers back. There is no time in the mountains, so who knows how old I am?"

Wang Qilin sighed that this guy is pretending well, it turns out that Dao Ye is a brand-name underwear.

The old man was frightened by his final poem and said repeatedly: "Old immortal, old immortal."

Xie Hama asked him, "You just said that Dawei River is about to drown people again recently. What's going on? Oh, the old Taoist priest came to Zhending Mansion this time to solve a strange thing, and this strange thing should be related to Dawei River."

In order to maintain his stature, he threw his hand behind him and another talisman flew out.

The talisman burned and turned into a firebird. It stretched its wings in the dark and made a crisp cry, thundering straight into the nine-level sky.

Now let alone the old man on the fishing boat, even the dog knew that the Taoist priest in front of him was a paranormal, so he was scared down on the spot.

Eight cats often express contempt: You can’t even kowtow? You are an ordinary person!

The old man was convinced by Xie Hata, and his knees were trembling and he wanted to kneel down. He did not kneel down because the boat was not spaced enough and it was difficult to kneel down.

As for Xie Hama's question, he must have known everything. The old man said, "I heard from the Tianjian who came to visit us the day before yesterday. It must be that the officials and the officials knew that they were going to drown again, but the person was rescued, just in case we were asked to patrol the river to stop those who would jump into the river to seek death in the future."

"You don't know that our Dawei River is so strange. It often drowns foreigners, and not drowns a single person, but often a group of pedestrians drown them."

"Occasionally, it will also drown people in the city. It will not drown alone, it will drown several people together, and sometimes even the adults in the family will drown, leaving only children, and it is pitiful!"

The inn shopkeeper didn't say this, and Wang Qilin thought it was a breakthrough.

Xie Hama also noticed the details and asked: "How many people have drowned at one time? Why? What do these people have in common?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything in common with them. Anyway, things are very evil. They often die one by one. One drowns today and one drowns tomorrow and one drowns after a few days."

"Anyway, once these people are targeted by the evil spirits in the Dawei River, the person will not be able to escape. No matter whether they escape from Zhending Mansion or what, they will come back sooner or later and jump into the river by themselves."

Speaking of this, the old man showed a look of panic on his face: "Do you think this is strange? People are like being possessed by evil spirits. No matter where they go, they will eventually return to the river and jump into the river."

"I can't stop them at all. I only have a thousand days to be a thief. How can I defend against thieves for a thousand days? The same principle is that some people want to jump into the river and commit suicide. How can we stop them by patrolling us? We have to take care of such a long river section alone!"

The old man shook his head in frustration.

Listening to his introduction, Wang Qilin remembered the encounter of an insect in his dream: a mantis parasitized by iron nematodes!

Once mantis is parasitized by iron nematodes, they will take the initiative to go to the river in the final stage of their life. At that time, iron nematodes drill out of their belly and they will die soon. As long as they do not go to the river, iron nematodes cannot leave their bodies.

But at that time, the mantis had no intelligence and could not control their bodies.

The same seems to be true for these people who jumped into the river to commit suicide.

So, has the iron nematode become a sperm?

The old man who was patrolling the river did not know more about it. Like other river patrollers in the river section, he was just hired by Tingtianjian to pay money to work.

No wonder he had a talisman on his body, a picture of Zhong Kui hanging on it, a black dog and a peach wood sword, and it turned out that he wanted to use this to fight against the evil spirits in the river.

Wang Qilin released the Thunder God Sword and stepped on it, and the imperial envoy flew across the river.

Seeing this, the old man's eyes were straight: "Hiss, Shushan Flying Sword Immortal?"

Xie Hama smiled and said, "He doesn't come from Shushan, but he is much more powerful than the flying sword immortals in Shushan."

The old man said in panic: "I really don't know Mount Tai. I'm really blind. I dared to offend such a living god just now."

Xie Hama said, "Young brother, don't worry. He is magnanimous and will not care about your scolding of him just now."

Wang Qilin flew a lot in the river with his sword. The grass was lush and the water was turbulent. Some sections of the Dawei River were wide and the water was gentle, while others were narrow and turbulent.

But he did not find any evil spirits.

However, there are big fish in the river. This fish must have been cultivated in some ways, and it emerged from the water in the middle of the night to swallow the moonlight flowing into the water.

When Wang Qilin passed by it, he still stared at him with his eyes on the dead fish, but he stared at Ba Meow, one fish and one meow looked at each other. The atmosphere was quite awkward at the time, and then the big fish quickly sinks into the water.

At this moment, Wang Qilin inexplicably thought of the Feng Shui fish taken away by his father. The fish was actually quite interesting. It was the earliest spiritual object he had taken to his hands. Unfortunately, he could not take the Feng Shui fish out.

No abnormalities were found along the way. He shook his head and went back to find Xie Hama: "It's useless, everything in the river is as usual."

Xie Hama said: "Go to listen to Tianjian tomorrow to find out the news?"

Wang Qilin didn't want to go directly to the local Tingtianjian. The experience of Chenyi Village was quite shocking and a whole village was destroyed. This was simply unimaginable in a peaceful era.
