Some survivors said that they saw something strange in the river. The strange person called himself the River God. The River God told them that if they wanted to cross the river, they needed to pay a toll and sacrifice to him. The way to sacrifice was to use humans to sacrifice. Only by sacrificing to him would he be able to survive.
He will protect the safety of passing ships. Any ship or person passing by without offering sacrifices will be attacked by him.
The strange incident in the Jiulong River soon alerted the nearby military, so the military sent people to the Jiulong River to investigate and found that the person causing harm in the Jiulong River turned out to be a strange god.
The Guilty God is so powerful that the military suffered heavy losses in their first battle with it.
Shi Shan felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with. Not to mention the strength of the Jiulong River God, it was difficult to deal with the opponent just in the water.
First, the opponent is strong. Since he claims to be the River God, his strength is self-evident. Shi Shan is probably no weaker than the Mountain God of Fuyun Mountain. Second, the opponent is in the water. The Jiulong River is nearly a hundred miles long. If we fight the opponent in the water,
I'm not even sure about Shishan, mainly because Shishan doesn't know how to use water.
Why not try some strange or ghostly things in the water to practice your skills first, maybe you will gain something.
Shishan thought about it and decided to do it. It seems that he doesn't have any water magic skills at the moment. If he really falls into the water in the future, wouldn't it be over? Just like the monkey, he will lose control as soon as he encounters the monster in the water.
It is not good to be helpless and seriously partial to one subject. It must be developed in an all-round way.
There are still a few days left, so I should be able to find some weird ghosts in the water and practice my skills in the next few days.
At night, there were only a few stars in the sky. Shi Shan stood in front of the window, feeling the gentle summer breeze blowing in. It was very comfortable.
As soon as I thought about it, Shi Shan was summoning Shi Gandang.
As Shi Gandang's secret master, Shi Shan and Shi Gandang have a subtle connection and can summon each other anytime, anywhere, no matter where they are or how far away they are.
Shi Gandang has been in Xidu for a while, and Shi Shan believed that he should know something about the strange world of Xidu during this period, so he summoned Shi Gandang back to see if it knew about any strange ghosts in the water in Xidu. By the way,
Some things also need to be explained to it.
Phoenix Mountain in Western Metropolitan Area.
In the Phoenix Mountain, there is a huge stone cave. In the cave, a stone man more than two meters high is sitting on a stone bench. Opposite the stone man stands a stone man half a meter high.
Cut off the wooden pile and find a ginseng plant, also called ginseng.
I saw the wooden pile dancing and gesticulating in front of the stone man.
The stone man is Shi Gandang. He is like a mountain king, sitting on a stone bench and listening to the speech of a wooden pile.
To communicate among weird people, it is not necessary to speak like a human being. There are weird words among weird people.
The wooden stakes, ginseng and the half-meter stone man are all Shi Gandang's subordinates. Among them, the half-meter stone man was built by Shi Gandang himself. The wooden stakes and the strange ginseng are the strange subordinates accepted by Shi Gandang.
A strange wooden stake and a strange ginseng are all strange.
At this time, Wooden Zhuangzi was saying to Shi Gandang: "He saw an evil ghost in the mountains yesterday. He was so fierce and fierce. The evil ghost almost found him."
Since Shi GanDang came to the Western Capital, he has been secretly inquiring about the mountain king, but there are no connections, and Shi GanDang found that the strange and ghosts did not seem to be so friendly.
Later, Shi Gandang came to Fenghuang Mountain to settle down. He found some strange wooden piles and some strange ginseng in the mountain, so he took him in as his younger brother.
While the tricky wooden pile was still dancing, Shi Gandang suddenly stood up.
Immediately, Shi Gandang turned back to Sangui and said, "Just stay well in the mountains and wait for me to come back."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Shi Gandang strode out of the cave and walked through the mountains at night.
Half an hour later, outside Shishan's window sill, a little stone man jumped in.
After the stone man jumped into the house, his body seemed to expand, grow bigger, and finally turned into a stone man more than one meter tall.
The stone man bowed respectfully in front of Shishan, "Greetings to my lord!"
Shi Shan nodded and said to Shi Gan: "Tell me about your recent situation in Xidu."
"Obey my lord!"
Therefore, Shi Gandang gave a brief and concise account of his situation in Xidu after he left Shishan.
After listening to Shi Gandang's report, Shi Shan was very impressed, "You have done a good job. Next, you will continue to increase your strength in Phoenix Mountain secretly, and at the same time explore the branches of powerful and strange ghosts in the Western Capital..."
Shi Shan told Shi Gandang about the mountain king. The other party might be in Yashan and asked Shi Gandang to pay attention.
After some explanations, Shi Shan asked: "In the Western Capital, do you know where there are weird ghosts in the water?"
Shi Gandang thought for a while and said, "Reporting to my lord, I heard that there is a powerful water ghost in the Pearl River and a strange man who calls himself the Dragon God."
"In the Pearl River."
Shi Shan thought for a moment, but decided to give up. Not to mention that the Pearl River was so big that he would not be able to find the opponent. Furthermore, since he could run rampant in the Pearl River, his strength would naturally not be weak. If the opponent was on the ground, Shi Shan would not be afraid, but
Once in the water, Shishan really couldn't deal with it.
"What about the ponds or reservoirs within Xidu? Are there any weird ghosts?"
"Master, maybe you can go to Baishan Lake Reservoir. I passed by there once and felt that there was something under the water."
"Oh, Baishan Lake Reservoir!"
Shishan had gone fishing in Baishan Lake Reservoir before, and someone had caught treacherous rocks in the reservoir at that time.
When he thought of the strange rocks, Shi Shan was almost certain that there was something strange in the Baishan Lake Reservoir.
If Shi Gandang hadn't mentioned it, Shi Shan would have forgotten about the Baishan Lake Reservoir. Shi Shan had thought about going to the Baishan Lake Reservoir after getting the strange stone before, but in the end he was busy with the Weitian Coffin under the Xingang Bridge.
Time forgotten.
Shi Gandang left in the middle of the night, and Shi Shan asked him to develop secretly in Xidu and accumulate strength.
At dawn the next day, Shishan drove to Baishan Lake Reservoir.
This time when we went to Baishan Lake Reservoir, Shishan brought all the fishing equipment with him in case of emergency.
Two hours later, Shi Shan arrived at the Baishan Lake Reservoir. It was only about ten o'clock in the morning and there were many fishermen in the reservoir.
After parking the car, Shishan wandered around the reservoir. Judging from the situation at the scene, there seemed to be nothing strange in the Baishan Lake Reservoir. Otherwise, how could there be so many fishermen here.
However, Shi Shan did not draw a conclusion immediately. He would take a look first and then talk about it. The Baishan Lake Reservoir may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Wow!
"Whoa whoa!"
“What a big fish!”
"I estimate it weighs thirty or forty pounds."
Not far away, a fisherman was pulling hard on his fishing rod. It was easy to tell that he must have caught a big fish.
When people around saw it, they all exclaimed.
Luo Bingbiao was very excited. The boss grinned excitedly. It felt so good to pull the fish. He used all his strength to suck the fish. He was definitely a big deal.
It's like a tug-of-war, loosening and tightening. This is called walking the fish. When the fish is pulling hard, you can't use force. You have to obey with a small force. After the fish struggles for a while, you can use force again. After a few rounds,
The fish will tire quickly, and once the fish is tired it can be easily pulled ashore.
Finally, ten minutes later, Luo Bingbiao pulled the big fish out of the water. You can see that it is a carp, more than half a meter long.
Many fishing friends have gathered around, and it is rare to see big carp more than half a meter long.
At this time, the carp seemed to be exhausted and allowed Luo Bingbiao to pull it, motionless as if dead.
After Luo Bingbiao pulled the carp up, he found that the carp was really dead. There was a scratch on the carp's belly, as if it had been cut by a knife.
"A dead fish speaks for itself!" a fishing friend said jokingly.
Luo Bingbiao was furious immediately, "If you can't speak, just shut up. No one will treat you as a mute."
There is a saying circulating in the fishing world, "If a fish is dead, just stop talking and leave!"
In the past, people were superstitious and believed that dead fish were caught by water monkeys in the water, so there was such a saying. At the same time, it was also considered unlucky to catch dead fish.
"It must have been scratched by rocks on the bottom of the water. It's okay," said a fishing friend who was watching.
The fishing friends around said one after another: "The fish that were still alive and kicking just now are not considered dead fish. Don't be afraid, brother."
Luo Bingbiao snorted: "I will be afraid!"
After taking off the carp, Luo Bingbiao immediately weighed it and found it was forty-seven pounds and six taels.
"If this fish hadn't died, it would have been sold for thousands of yuan. You can see that the tail has turned gold. It's incredible. It's a big carp that's over ten years old. It's almost a sperm!"
"In ancient times, only emperors could eat this. The golden tail was a symbol of dragon transformation."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity."
Hearing everyone saying it was a pity, Luo Bingbiao completely lost his previous joy and could only blame himself for being unlucky. He pulled the fish too hard just now and actually pulled the fish to death.
"Brother, do you want to sell this big carp?" Someone wants to buy it. The wild golden carp must taste good.
Luo Bingbiao shook his head, "I won't sell it."
"Brother, I'll give you one thousand yuan." The young man didn't give up and was ready to throw money at him, offering a high price of one thousand yuan.
Luo Bingbiao shook his head, "I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it. I'll keep it for myself."
The young man continued: "I will give you two thousand, brother, will you sell it?"
Luo Bingbiao hesitated for a moment, and a woman beside him repeatedly said: "Sell, sell..."
The young man was very happy and immediately paid two thousand yuan and left carrying the big carp. The carp was already dead, so he had to rush back to deal with it as soon as possible.
Shi Shan did not see this scene. When he came here, the young man had already left with the big golden carp, and many people were still talking about it.
After walking around Baishan Lake, Shishan found nothing. He didn't hear any rumors about anything strange or ghostly in Baishan Lake. Shishan simply took out his fishing rod and joined in.
An hour later, Shi Shan looked at the man next to him and said, "Brother, how are you doing? How much did you catch?"
"Only about a dozen, not a lot." Luo Bingbiao said with a smile.
Next door to Shishan is Luo Bingbiao, the one who just caught the golden carp.
"Little brother, I just came here. Don't worry. There are a lot of big products here. Maybe they will be available soon." Luo Bingbiao thought that Shi Shan was impatient. After all, no one took the bait for more than an hour. Anyone would be anxious.
.
In fact, Luo Bingbiao didn't notice that he hadn't caught a fish for more than an hour. Although there were always fish biting the hook, he didn't catch any fish for more than an hour.
"Oh haha!"
At a certain moment, Luo Bingbiao felt a strong force coming towards him. It was so heavy that he couldn't even lift it.
"Did you catch fish?"
"Well, it looks like a big fish." Luo Bingbiao smiled brightly. This feeling was exactly the same as the big carp he caught just now. He estimated that it would definitely be no smaller than the carp just now.
Luo Bingbiao learned from the experience last time. This time he pulled very carefully, for fear of killing or injuring the fish again.
Shi Shan looked at it curiously. He didn't know what kind of fish it was. It seemed to have been at the bottom of the water for ten minutes, but the big brother hadn't come up to the surface yet.
"Could it be a turtle?" Luo Bingbiao also felt strange. Logically speaking, after walking for so long, he should have been tired long ago and should have surfaced. Why not?
Some fishing friends from around came over to join in the fun. Just now Luo Bingbiao caught a big carp weighing more than 40 kilograms. Now this one seems to be quite big.
"Brother, you are so lucky today."
"I'm going to buy a lottery ticket later. I'm sure I'll win the first prize."
Hearing what everyone said, Luo Bingbiao was very happy, and the joy of fishing was fully reflected at this moment.
As he got closer and closer, Luo Bingbiao felt something was wrong. At this time, he could faintly see that what he caught seemed to be a group of black algae. If he looked closer, it looked more like a piece of clothing. When he got closer,
Luo Bingbiao sat on the ground with a horrified look on his face.
"Dead man, dead man!"
"Alert patrol!"
"Someone died in Baishan Lake Reservoir."
The scene suddenly became chaotic. Some ladies turned pale with fright and ran away, not daring to get close.
Some bold men were watching from the sidelines.
Luo Bingbiao's legs are a little weak now. He caught a dead man and a corpse. It is estimated that this shadow will be difficult to erase in his lifetime.
"Just now, I was just talking about dead fish. If I had definitely stopped fishing and left, now I've caught a dead man." said the fishing friend who was scolded by Luo Bingbiao before.
Other fishing friends also agreed and felt that what he said was reasonable.
Luo Bingbiao had no intention of paying attention to this now. He gingerly took out his mobile phone and dialed the patrol station number to report to the patrol.
When Shi Shan came closer, he saw that there was indeed a corpse at the bottom of the water, with a fishhook hanging on his clothes.
After careful observation for a while, there was nothing unusual about the body, and there were no traces of strange ghosts. It seemed like it had died of natural causes.
Picking up the fishing rod, Shi Shan pulled the body up little by little. Finally, a few brave people came over and worked together to drag the body out of the water.
This is the body of a man. His body is swollen and he has been dead for more than two days. What is strange is that this body is facing the ground.
Generally speaking, when a corpse is in the water, the man faces the sky and the woman faces the ground. But now this male corpse faces the ground.
"It's him!" one person said in shock.
"you know?"
"He was the one who just bought the dead carp that this elder brother caught, weighing forty-seven pounds and six taels!"
Other fishing friends took a closer look and realized that it was really that young man.
"Weren't you fine just now? Why did you die?"
"It looks like he has been dead for several days."
Everyone present felt a chill in their backs, and a fishing friend whispered: "Isn't what we saw just now a ghost?"
"Don't be scary. Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?"
"What time has it been? It's not normal to see ghosts in broad daylight."
"Maybe it really is a ghost!"
"Come on, come on, it's too evil, I won't dare come here to fish again."
