Chapter 176 - The River Banshee
I sank into the deep, deep water, looking at the sky from the bottom, and everything was swimming in the waves.

"Write, write—"

The soft female voice whispered in my ear like an echo. I wanted to open my mouth to respond, but was poured into a river.The river water is turbid, with the fishy smell of river sediment and fish and shrimp.I paddled my limbs to float to the surface, but suddenly found that my limbs were entangled by aquatic plants.

No, it's not aquatic plants, it's hair strands.

Long black hair grew densely from the river, binding my limbs and waist.A pale woman's face suddenly swam in front of me through the muddy river.

"Don't worry, you can't drown."

"I know because I'm in a dream."

I didn't speak, the sound seemed to come from my navel, and it vibrated with the water waves.

"You are in my dream, not your own."

"Why do you want to meet me in your dream?"

"We all want to meet each other in familiar places."

"If you are my guest, you should come to my office as a guest. Even if I am in your dream, why do you need to bind me into a rice dumpling? Are you violating etiquette in terms of hospitality?"

"Most of the things you did and said were against etiquette. Now it's time to challenge me for such pedantic things."

The girl in the river said so, but the hair wrapped around my limbs receded.I straightened my body in the water, hanging cross-legged in the center.

"In the water, I don't have a pen and paper to record, it's really difficult."

"You will remember everything that happened in this dream. Write it down after you wake up, just like recalling your previous life. Isn't it more interesting to write dreams?"

"What should I call you?"

"People call me the River Banshee, and my name is Eswa."

"Okay, Yisiwa. Why are you looking for me today?"

"Before I was alive, I was poisoned by my husband's family. After being drugged, I fell unconscious. I was tied into a straw mat, and a big stone was placed in the straw mat. Finally, I fell into the river."

Yisiwa pointed to the turbid water bottom, where the light couldn't reach: "The straw mat is still there. A hundred years later, it has been covered with aquatic plants. The crucian carp laid eggs and settled in it, and it has become a part of the bottom.

I also became a part of the bottom, imprisoned here, unable to leave. "

"Why can't you leave?"

"A total of three big stones were placed in the straw mat, and each stone was engraved with a spell written by a Taoist priest. My husband and family were afraid that I would turn into a ghost and leave the water to retaliate against them, so they pressed me on the ground with three spell stones. In the water, you can never leave here.

I can't touch these three stones. If I touch them, my whole body will burn in the water.If you want to move it forcefully, you will end up with your soul flying away.Hundreds of years have passed, and I have been looking for opportunities to help me remove these stones, but I have never encountered a good opportunity. "

"You mean, you want me to help you remove these stones?"

"Sir, it is."

"inappropriate."

"Why not!"

"Can't move."

"These boulders are like nemesis to me. But to the clergy and officials, they are just playthings in the hands of a child, like pebbles in the hands of a child. They are not worth mentioning at all."

"What will happen to you if I don't move?"

"I won't do anything, just live like this for a hundred years."

"I'm not the opportunity you've been waiting for. The opportunity has yet to come."

"How do you know!"

"Your karma has nothing to do with me, and I shouldn't be able to undo the spell of the stone. You'd better stay calm and wait a little longer."

"But I'm so deserted in this river! I've been alone for hundreds of years, and I'm not responding every day, and the earth is not working.

Sir, can you imagine!Only myself for hundreds of years. "

"What are you going to do after you leave this river?"

"I want to find out the truth of the year."

"What truth?"

"Who poisoned me, and who threw me into the river?"

"and then?"

"There is no more, as long as I know it. After I know it, I feel at ease."

"Why do you feel at ease after knowing it?"

"The person who kills me, I don't need to retaliate immediately, but I need to keep this person in my heart."

"Keep it in your heart for what?"

"But when it's time to survive, let him taste the pain I have endured for hundreds of years."

"If the person who kills you is also the person who cast your spell, what should you do?"

Yi Siwa was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Kill to kill, grace to grace, one yard to one yard."

"Okay, I'm ready to wake up."

"You can't wake up without my permission."

I ignored her remarks, closed my eyes in the water, and felt that the spirit body was gradually disappearing in this space.

"Wait! Wait! I have more questions to ask!"

"the last one."

"My lord, when will the good opportunity come?"

"When you're ready."

Yisiwa's hair rushed towards me, but penetrated my spiritual body, as if touching nothing.She burst into piercing screams on the spot: "Don't leave! Don't leave! Ah!"

The smell of the river water has faded from the whole body, and the fishy smell is gone.I opened my eyes, and I was sitting cross-legged on the floor.The clothes on her body were dry, and Yisiwa's screams still echoed in her eardrums.

I rubbed my ears and sat back on the wooden chair behind the desk.
