casket of old days

Chapter 605 Deep Sea
The front of the big ship.

A large thick fog suddenly dissipated, and everyone saw more than a dozen fishing boats floating on the river.

Standing on the boat were all ordinary people in shabby gowns with vicissitudes of life. They looked like fishermen from both sides of the strait.

In the center of their surroundings, a young girl was tied to a small red-painted fishing boat.

In front of the girl, the old man with a rough face was stroking the girl's head while whispering something softly.

On the surrounding fishing boats, the fishermen each lit a candle and chanted some kind of prayer along with the old man.

"The sea of ​​learning, rivers and lakes, deep and boundless, can accommodate everything."

"Enter the river! Enter the river! Cry with me."

"Enter the river! Enter the river! Share my sorrow."

"Water is the screen, the river is the belt, sinking things, listen to my call!"

With the ritual going on, the girl was hoisted up and moved to the middle of the river bit by bit.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Tianshi Sect immediately stepped forward to stop them.

Seeing the logo of Tianshijiao, the fishermen couldn't bear the slightest resistance, and were escorted to the boat one by one.

The old man at the head fell to his knees and lamented: "Masters, this is a custom in our village. Someone must go down the river to feed the river god in order to ensure peace in the coming year."

"Otherwise there will be floods, and merchant ships will be attacked by water ghosts."

"Only by completing the rituals can one year be safe."

"Recently there have been hauntings, but this time the ceremony was delayed."

Xuancheng shouted: "Where is the river god? It is clear that there are evil spirits breeding at the bottom of the river. You should report to the temple and let the demon-subduing mage in the temple come to save the dead souls."

Hearing these words, the old man sighed and said, "The price charged by the Taoist priest in the temple is too high, we and the ordinary people really can't afford it, so we made such a bad move."

Someone shouted again: "The government doesn't care, and the Taoist temple doesn't care, so we can't let us wait to die?"

"Xiao Cui was originally an abandoned baby that no one wanted. We have raised her for more than ten years, and now it is only natural for her to sacrifice for the village."

Just as the villagers were defending, the female Taoist priest Yunxiu came to the girl who had been sacrificed.

She looked at the other party's uneasy gaze, loosened the rope on the other party's body, and comforted: "Don't worry, you're fine, we're here to save you."

The girl murmured: "If you don't complete the ceremony, something will happen to the village."

Yunxiu comforted her with a smile: "Master is a well-known immortal in the world, with him around, no ghost can do evil, you're fine now..."

On the other side, Wang Zhishan's gaze towards the villagers gradually turned cold, and he said indifferently, "How dare you make excuses for prostitution and evil sacrifices?"

"Today, I will kill the demons and ghosts first, and then send you back to the government for justice."

Hearing that he was going to be sent to the government, the faces of the villagers present all changed. In their opinion, this was more terrible than the flood.

After Wang Zhishan finished speaking, he was dressed in a purple Taoist robe without wind, and his whole body flew up like a fairy.

As he stepped forward step by step, pieces of talisman paper lit up around him.

Wang Zhishan opened his mouth slightly, and a mantra came out of his mouth: "The deep perishing one, the resting place of the sea..."

On the deck, incense candles ignited spontaneously without fire, and the statue of Taoist Xuanyuan trembled slightly.

The disciples of Tianshijiao waited intently, knowing that it was Wang Zhishan who started to save the souls of the dead.

But as the incantation sounded, Chu Qiguang immediately felt something was wrong: "This is not the incantation taught by the heavenly master." '

Wang Zhishan didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the mantra.

He listened to the whispering voice in his ear, and continued to chant fervently: "Enlighten us, guide us with the stars, and take the sea as our cradle..."

Chu Qiguang frowned and asked, "Yu Li!Does this spell have something to do with "Soul Refining Record"?Why do people taught by Tianshi know?Yu Li? '

Amidst Chu Qiguang's call, Yu Li did not respond for a long time.

Instead, there was a bang in the box, as if something was knocking on the box from the inside, trying to open it.

Chu Qiguang grabbed the box violently and suppressed the struggling force coming from it.

At the same time, there was another splashing sound of water all around, and countless ghost hands began to shake the hull.

Xuancheng shouted: "All disciples follow me to protect the Dharma for Master!"

The female Taoist Yunxiu pulled the girl who was being sacrificed to Chu Qiguang's side, looked at him and said, "You guys hide in the cabin! Don't come out!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't have time to say anything more, so she ran to the side of the boat to disperse the ghosts with other disciples of the Heavenly Master.

Xiaolan's voice sounded: "Brother Chu, look at those villagers!"

Chu Qiguang turned his head and saw the villagers screaming heart-piercingly.

Their eyes began to bulge, their bodies grew scales, secreted mucus, and they all gradually turned into fish.

Only Xiao Cui, who was the sacrifice, was still standing beside Chu Qiguang at this moment, without any abnormal changes in her body.

And when Chu Qiguang looked at the alienated villagers, the lines of writing in his eyes also changed.

"Family of the deep sea."

"Knowledge and the ocean, symbolizing sinking at the same time."

"If you eat the gift from the deep sea, you will have the opportunity to become its follower and obtain a body that surpasses that of human beings."

"It is said that in the deep sea, there once lived servants of the stars."

"The ancient humans killed it, trying to find the enlightenment from the starry sky."

"But the stars are far away from humans for a reason."

"Ignorant exploration will inevitably lead to madness and tragedy."

Chu Qiguang, who watched this scene, was slightly taken aback.

On the other side, the disciples of the Tianshi Sect had already swung their swords and beheaded the mutated villagers one by one.

Amidst the screams, the heads of the villagers' fish were chopped off, and each of them let out a mournful sound.

In the sky, Wang Zhishan finished reciting the last incantation and slowly fell back to the deck.

Above the river, the thick fog gradually dissipated.

The ghosts in the water also lost their shape amidst the screams, and disappeared like puffs of smoke.

The entire river surface seemed to have returned to normal, and there was no ghost image anymore.

Many disciples taught by Tianshi relaxed, and some even cheered.

Then they boarded the fishing boat and found some strange fish and belongings.

The bodies of those fish were deformed, covered with weird barbs, and the two pure white eyes were also bulging out, exuding a kind of madness.

Among them, several fish were placed on the dining table, all of which looked like they were half-eaten.

In addition, there are some jade pendants and silk, which are not property owned by fishermen.

"This fine jade pendant, and this kind of silk, how can these fishermen have it?"

Xuancheng said: "Perhaps they were all bewitched by the evil spirits, who killed the merchants, and then salvaged the property from the river and gave it to the fishermen."

Just as the Taoist priests were guessing, Yunxiu came to Chu Qiguang's side: "Why didn't you hide?"

Yunxiu said helplessly: "You are lucky to have met us this time. If you are so reckless by yourself, you will get into trouble sooner or later."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "You hide."

Yunxiu was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Chu Qiguang looked at the ignorant Taoist nun in front of him, sighed and said, "It's not over yet."

"That ghost, come up."

Yunxiu looked in the direction of Chu Qiguang's gaze, and saw a pair of wet footprints appearing on the deck beside the ship.

Accompanied by clear footsteps, wet footprints were approaching Wang Zhishan's position.

　Today I fell down a bit, and I ate fried chicken, cola, milk tea and ice cream, and I felt much better all of a sudden.Next, I will work hard to update more!
