95 There’s still someone in the water

Lower Willow Village.

It was a name that one had to pronounce properly, or else it could cause trouble.

It was all because of a thick willow tree that had been growing for hundreds of years. It looked like a strong man in women’s clothing, standing valiantly and spiritedly at the turn of the Liuhua River.

With the willow tree as the landmark, the village upstream was named upper Willow Village, and the village downstream was named lower Willow Village.

The flowing flower River was one of the more famous rivers in the hang Zhou Prefecture.

The first reason was that the river was wide and the waterway was long. It went through the Hangzhou Prefecture city and directly led to the East Sea. There was only a small section of the river in Yuhang County.

The second reason was that the scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful. The flowers in spring and the moon in autumn, the Willows in summer and the plum blossoms in winter, the scenery of the Four Seasons was new all the time.

Therefore, it was common for the wealthy families of the hang Zhou Prefecture to come out and play on small boats and pleasure boats in the sunny weather.

Like the other villages in Yuhang County, the villagers of Xialiu village mostly relied on fishing for a living, while a small number of them farmed.

This could be seen from the layout of their village.

Most of the houses were built along the river bank, and only a small part was on the opposite side, closer to the farmland.

Li Chu had just returned from the sea and had brought the Fox girl and the villagers here. However, the sky was still getting dark.

Li Chu brought the Vixen along this time because he realized that it was very convenient to bring her out.

His appearance attracted bees and butterflies too easily, and it was easy for him to attract people wherever he went. And he was too elegant and easy-going, so it was not easy for him to get away.

At this time, if a fox girl with a big tail wagging was standing next to him, even if her appearance was not terrifying, people would still be a little afraid.

He didn’t know when the Fox girl would completely transform.

While she could still use it, he would use it a few more times.

There were about 20 to 30 villagers of Xialiu village who went to deyun temple, and that was not all. At least 80 to 90 people in the village had dreamed of that woman, men, women, old and young.

In deyun temple, Yu Qi ‘an had asked them in detail, and their answers were the same.

Everyone dreamed of the same scene. It was gloomy and they couldn’t see the environment clearly.

Then, a wet woman with long and heavy wet hair draped down and covered her face.

It only said that one sentence in a particularly gloomy and cold voice.

“There’s someone in the water!”

To Li Chu, the difficulty of exorcism was not how to kill it, but how to find it.

The woman had been in his dreams for a few days, and no villagers had been hurt. In that case, its purpose should not be to harm people.

It was as if Yingying simply wanted to tell the villagers something.

There were many people who had this dream. Other than being in lower Willow Village, they had nothing in common.

Do the same thing go to the same place

None of these.

The information it revealed was only these four words, and there was not much room for imagination.

The range of underwater was too wide. In a place like Xialiu village, there were a few Wells, lakes, rivers, creeks, paddy fields, and water tanks.

If he wasn’t sure of the location, he might have to wait until next year to find them one by one.

Even if he used his heart’s eye to do a carpet search, it would still take a lot of effort.

As there were too many people who had the same dream, Li Chu did not visit them one by one.

He thought for a moment.

He decided to ask those who didn’t have this dream.

There were only about twenty villagers in the village who had never had this dream. The village head quickly called them over one by one and questioned them in his house.

The villagers were very cooperative because they were the ones who were panicking more in this village.

When you’re the only one who hasn’t experienced what everyone else has gone through, it’s inevitable that you’ll be muttering in your heart.

However, there were men and women, old and young, and there was nothing special about them.

Li Chu asked a few basic questions and let them leave.

But,

When they came, they came in groups of two or three, so Li Chu did not notice them. When they left, a large group of people left together, and he only noticed it then.

The villagers were all walking in the same direction.

“They live very close to each other?” Li Chu asked.

“Yes, they’re all farmers from the other side of the village,” the village chief said after some thought.

Li Chu nodded.

It turns out that the matter is very simple.

It was just that the villagers might not have experienced such a thing before. They were in a panic and did not think of it.

All the people who dreamed of that woman lived by the flowing flower River.

Those who didn’t dream of that woman didn’t live by the river.

In this way, he could lock onto the fact that the appearance of the woman was related to the flowing flower River.

The ‘under the water’ it was referring to was most likely under the flowing flower River!

...

Tonight, the stars and moon were shining.

Li Chu brought the Fox girl to the flowing flower River, and no one dared to follow them.

He quietly closed his eyes.

The heart’s eye spell’s range covered a section of the river and slowly seeped downwards.

However, Li Chu was not affected by it. He quickly locked onto the bottom of the river, where there was a ball of Yin Qi.

This ball of Yin Qi wasn’t very strong, but the surroundings were very clean. This was the only place that could possibly produce some dirty things.

Li Chu suddenly wanted to try out the water repelling bead that he had just obtained.

The bead happened to be on him, so he didn’t need to prepare anything else. He just handed the money bag to the Fox girl to take care of it carefully.

With a leap, he jumped into the water.

Li Chu entered the water, but there was no splash or splash.

It was as if the water had automatically parted to welcome him in.

...

Moreover, the feeling of entering the water was even more magical.

If the water was blocked, Li Chu should have fallen all the way down.

However, this was not the case.

Gulp, gulp.

He could walk with his feet and move his body freely. The name “water-proof” didn’t seem appropriate. It should be called the water control bead. It was as if all the water had suddenly become your friend.

When you need it, I’ll support you. When you don’t need it, I’ll keep my distance.

Li Chu continued to feel the magical effects of the water repelling Pearl as he slowly descended.

And then,

At the location where the yin Qi was condensed, he saw an existence that could produce a Yin spirit.

A corpse.

It was a female corpse with long flowing hair and a brocade on her body. Even though she had been soaking in the water for a long time, she still did not float up, and there was almost no change in her appearance.

You can even tell that this woman had a beautiful face and a curvaceous figure when she was alive.

Imagine that scene, a dark night, a silent underwater, facing a lifelike corpse, as if it would open its eyes at any moment.

Li Chu leaned forward and gave her a Princess hug.

He picked up the female corpse, turned around, and walked away. Soon, the water separated, and his figure reappeared.

“Master.” The Fox girl called out.

“It’s going very smoothly,” Li Chu replied.

The village chief’s face turned green when he saw the little Daoist carrying a female corpse into his house in the middle of the night.

Even though Li Chu said calmly that there was no need to be afraid.

But at this time, Yingluo was afraid of anyone.

“I think she might have drowned in the flowing flower River due to some accident, but she didn’t want her corpse to be exposed here, so she appeared in your dreams.” “We just need to send the body away and everything should be fine,” Li Chu explained.

This kind of thing was actually not rare. Many people who died a violent death would have this kind of ” lingering ghost ” situation.

This kind of Yin spirit did not have any great abilities. It was only left behind by an obsession. As long as its body was properly arranged, it would dissipate on its own.

The villagers wanted to quickly bury the corpse, but it wasn’t that simple.

A person had died out of thin air, so they had to report it to the Yamen. The body had to be sent to the mortuary.

There were still many processes to be done to determine the cause of death, confirm the identity, and find the family members.

Hence, a few courageous villagers, together with Li Chu, sent the female corpse to the government office that very night.

The matter was considered over.

After fishing out its corpse, the woman’s soul should have dispersed.

......

Who knew that early the next morning, Zhou Dafu would come looking for him.

my little Daoist priest Li, I beg you to do a good deed and deal with the female corpse.

Zhou Dafu had two big dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were dull, and his face was full of fear.

“What now?” Li Chu asked with a frown.

Zhou Dafu said with a bitter face, ” don’t mention it. I had a nightmare yesterday and woke up in shock. Then, I asked around and found out that all my classmates had the same dream.

“Dream of a woman who was completely wet, and eerily told you about Huahua.”

“There’s still someone underwater, Momo.”
