I nodded, and took out some equipment from my bag, then told the boatsman, "Remember, you can't go out later. I've set up a seal to seal the water ghost, but you have to stop them if they wake up. After I lure the water ghost away, you guys should be safe, you can float to a safe place, and when that happens, you'll have to rely on yourselves."
The boatsman looked at me in astonishment. "You mean that you want to jump down? But if that's the case, you'll definitely die. There are a lot of ghosts below, and no matter how strong you are, it won't do any good even if you're in the water! "Although I want to be saved, young lad, I can't do that either!"
I couldn't help but laugh when I heard him call me a different person, and I could tell that I had guessed wrongly earlier. It seemed that this was the first time he had done something like this, otherwise he wouldn't be so soft-hearted.
Ignoring him, I walked out of the boat. In the end, no one turned around and said, "Just remember to be a good person, and if anyone comes looking for me, just say I'm not here. Ah, forget it. Just say that I've never been here before."
Who knows if I'll make it back alive.
With this determination to die, I stood up and jumped into the water. In that instant, many people's faces passed by me, but only Fatty, the kind heart, and my mother were engraved in my memory.
As soon as I entered the water, these images disappeared from my sight. From the first misty mist to the second, I could see that countless of my water ghosts were swimming towards me.
I covered my nose with one hand and kept swinging my feet. With the other hand, I took out a net from the equipment I had prepared. This was no ordinary net.
The power of these incantations lies in the fact that they are extremely powerful. I heard that Zhong Kui had used this net to trap more than 1000 wraiths a long time ago. Therefore, its reputation as a floating net.
Of course, if it's as easy as the legend says, I don't have to worry. The power of this Thousand Net is based on the user's own ability. Although I'm a descendant of Zhong Kui, I've only been doing this for the past few years, so I don't have much confidence in my own cultivation.
Following the method of Zhong Kui's secret technique, I forcefully scattered the Thousand Net onto the surface. Coincidentally, there was a drop of blood on the wound just now, and it scattered uniformly all over the Thousand Net.
The next step I really did was to brace myself. In the secret technique, I must completely relax my body and mind and integrate with the net in order to bring out its greatest effect.
As I floated in the middle of the water, I really didn't know how I could relax my body and mind. Although the Thousand Net was beginning to glow red as it floated around me, it was still an empty shelf. If I couldn't do it, I would really die in this desolate place.
I'm going to go all out just like that. I took a deep breath in my heart and slowly let go of my hand. My entire body started to float with the water, but water started to continuously rush into my mouth and nose. I felt as if my lungs were about to explode.
However, I still didn't dare to continue covering my nose. I desperately tried to think of a way to divert my attention, thinking that I didn't know why, but I suddenly thought of the month before my benevolence came to my home.
At that time, I spent every day with my mother, and the benevolence in my heart took care of my life very meticulously. Occasionally, when I was bored, the fatty would come and find me to play. It was truly an uncomfortable period of time.
As I was thinking this, I couldn't help laughing out loud, and then my mother's smiling face began to move past me, one by one. I wanted to catch them, but I couldn't, and I thought that this might be the last time I would see them.
After that, there was a flash of white light, piercing my eyes to the point that I couldn't open them at all. I could feel something continuously massaging my body, as though it was a massage.
When I came to, I was in the bed of an ordinary farmhouse.
I feel like I just had a good sleep. I can't remember what happened after I jumped into the water.
Since I can't remember, I might as well not think about it. I open the door and walk out.
Once I was outside, I was blinded by the intense light outside. I used my hand to cover my eyes for a while before reopening the scene in front of me, which gradually became clear. At this moment, I saw a little girl who was curiously looking at me, looking to be in her early teens.
She cleared her throat like an adult and said, "Cough cough, since you're awake, then you should eat something. The congee is already in the kitchen, I won't help you if you go get it. If it wasn't for my grandfather who was too naive and saved you, I wouldn't have saved someone who looks like a bad person!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I watched the little girl minding her own business as she planned to head to the kitchen to find something to eat. I didn't know how long I had slept for.
But as I said, after searching in the kitchen for a long time, I was sure I didn't see anything to eat other than the chilies hanging on the pillar. Didn't this little girl say there was food?
Just as I was thinking about it, the little girl jumped in front of me and stuck her hands on her waist, looking full of energy. "Look, I was guessing that you must be very stupid and couldn't have guessed it."
"…"
"Little sister, can you tell me where the food is?"
"Hmph, beg me!"
"Mm, I beg of you."
The little girl glared at me in disappointment, "You actually gave in just like that. You're really useless. Forget it, forget it. I'll give you something to eat if you're pitiful."
Then I followed the little girl to a simple room with a bed, probably a bedroom, and when I opened the door I saw the little girl slip under the bed and bring out a bowl of porridge.
Fortunately, she was still rational, at least covered by something. She walked straight over as if she was handing over something extremely important to me.
He opened it and saw a bowl of green vegetable porridge. Even if the rice was not too much, it would barely count as a bowl of porridge. From this, he could tell how poor the family was.
I took the cup and started gulping down the alcohol because I was too hungry. As I drank, I saw the little girl's black and white eyes staring at me.
I handed it over. "Want some?"
She hurriedly shook her head. "No, I don't want to drink it. Grandfather said that he would leave it for you because your body is injured so I won't snatch it away from those who are worse off."
I smiled and touched her head. If such a poor family could raise such a good child, then her grandfather must be a very good person.
I put down the bowl, "Alright, I'm full now, so I can't eat anymore. If you don't eat it, then I'll throw it away. Do you want it?"
The little girl shouted, "What a waste of food!" and hurriedly reported the porridge back.
I smiled and was about to go out to take a look at the surroundings, but I didn't expect to see an old man who had fainted at the door. I quickly picked him up and carried him into the house, but as soon as I entered, I heard the sound of a bowl shattering.
I was stunned for a moment and knew that he was my savior. Actually, I had guessed that I had won the battle underwater, but I had expended too much energy so I was forced to come here. If this grandfather hadn't saved me, I would have definitely died.
Since I was the one who saved my life, I took the little girl even more seriously. I held her in my arms and carefully showed her to the old man before letting out a sigh of relief. Luckily, there were too many water ghosts in the water, so the yin aura was still very thick.
I found a bowl of Yang Returning Water that was made from talismans and gave it to him to drink. As expected, his complexion seemed much better.
About 10 minutes later, the grandpa woke up. The little girl who was holding onto me immediately let go of me.
When the old grandpa saw me stunned, I immediately explained it to him. He smiled and nodded his head, thanking me again and again.
It made me feel embarrassed. In the evening, I had a rare and lively dinner here.
After we finished eating and rested for a while, I chatted with Grandpa and said that I would probably leave tomorrow because it was an urgent matter that couldn't be delayed.
The old man nodded in understanding and told me where there would be a car. We talked until about midnight before we went back to rest. However, I wasn't tired at all. Instead, I rested very well and slept very comfortably.
When I arrived at the station, I found the station so packed that I couldn't see the license plates at all. It was possible that I had encountered the "rush hour" when cars and people were coming and going, with heads all over the place.
I was walking through a sea of people, and it was crowded inside, and then I got out of the station and was about to turn to the high-speed rail station when a black limousine stopped me by the side of the road.
The window gradually rolled down and a head popped out. It was a middle-aged man, but he looked very energetic.
"Hey!" Young man! If you don't get on the bus, we'll send you off the entire journey! " The owner of the car smiled at me.
"I took a closer look at his car. This is most likely the legendary 'black car'!" "I'm sorry, but I'm not sitting." I replied coldly.
"When he saw that I had no luggage, he asked me to get in the car directly. I turned around and rejected him." Young man, it's very hard for you to take a taxi now. It seems like you didn't buy a good ticket in advance! Come in my car and I'll give you a bargain. " He was clearly trying to seduce me. Although I didn't have much money on me, the amount of money I spent to pay for a round trip was still sufficient. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with me.
Thus, I leaned forward in preparation to test him.
