Start from miscellaneous fish to gain experience and cultivate immortality

Chapter 67 The water ghost appears
  Outside Wuyang City, in a manor.

"What a pity, it ran away!" Lei Liang said with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity, but there are also gains. At least we already know the general place where this water ghost often hangs out. It probably knows where the water house is. If we catch it, we may find the water house hidden under the Qinghe River."

"That thing is as nimble as a fish in the water and very alert. It was frightened this time and it will be difficult to catch it again." Lei Liang took a sip of tea.

"Have you ever thought about it, gang leader, since the Hebo in the water has a water mansion, then should the mountain god on the mountain also have a cave mansion?"

"I have also thought about what Mr. Wu said. The mountains outside Wuyang City stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are mountain monsters and beasts in them. It is not easy to find a cave here!"

"Don't the gang leader still have a few disciples?"

After hearing this, Lei Liang was silent for a while before slowly nodding his head.

Two days later, Wang Shen's home in Lanhe County.

"Mountain demon?" Wang Shen looked at Chen Zheng in surprise.

A few days ago, Chen Zheng came to him and told him the news. He had just received a letter from the master in Wuyang County, asking him to search for traces of mountain demons in the mountains of Lanhe.

"The last time the mountain demon appeared was outside Wuyang County. Lanhe is hundreds of miles away from Wuyang. How could you think of asking you to find the mountain demon? Did the mountain demon come to the mountains outside Lanhe City? Do you want to transfer you back to Wuyang?"

"There are Senior Brother An and Senior Brother Lu on the Wuyang side. Master asked me to search the mountains on the Lanhe side to see if I can find any clues about the mountain demon. You also know that the mountains here are connected to the mountains in Wuyang. together."

"Soushan, that requires a lot of people." Wang Shen said.

"Naturally, we have to do our best to do what Master arranges. We can't make a big deal about it yet. We have to find some reliable people. It's just that the disciples in the gang are very afraid of the mountain demon."

"Of course we are afraid. After all, the last time we went up the mountain to round up the mountain demon, dozens of people died." Wang Shen said.

If Lei Liang hadn't appeared in time that time, all of them might have died on the mountain.

When they are asked to go find the mountain demon, they must be resisting in their hearts. Even if they are forced to go due to gang rules, it will be a waste of time and effort. You can't always follow them and supervise them in real time, right?
  "I don't want to tell them on the surface to go find the mountain demon, but to go find the treasure in the mountains."

"Looking for baby?"

"I'm going to find a few trustworthy people and ask them to search for ancient tombs in the mountains to see if they can find any traces of the mountain demon." Chen Zheng expressed his thoughts.

"Ancient tomb? This is a suitable reason." Wang Shen nodded.

"I won't let them pass through the mountains where they usually go."

Wang Shen often went to the mountains to practice and had told Chen Zheng about this.

"There is indeed no trace of the mountain monster in that mountain." Wang Shen said truthfully. He did not want his peaceful practice life to be disturbed.

"You always go to the mountains. What's so good about them?"

"The mountains are clean and no one disturbs me when I practice. Also, the word "人" plus the word "山" combined make up the word "immortal"." Wang Shen said with a smile.

"Xian, do you still want to become an immortal?"

"Anyway, it's good to go for a walk in the mountains from time to time."

Two days later, Chen Zheng began to arrange for people to go up the mountain to search for treasures.

When I heard that there might be an ancient tomb in Shangzhong, and there might be treasures in it, those individuals were very tempted. It is true that money and silk can move people's hearts.

Wang Shen continued to practice in the mountains and rivers.

It had just rained that day and the river was a little turbid. Wang Shen was practicing in the Qinghe River when he suddenly saw a black spot exposed on the river in the distance. He paused for a moment and quickly sank.

"what?"

Wang Shen immediately went ashore and looked down from a high place. He could vaguely see a black shadow moving in the river like a big fish. The black shadow stopped some distance away from the water where Wang Shen practiced and circled twice. Soon, Just disappeared.

He did not go into the water, but stayed on the shore for a while, but no trace of the black shadow was seen again.

The next day, when Wang Shen was practicing in the water, he vaguely saw the black shadow again. The black shadow appeared far away from him and slowly approached. After Wang Shen discovered it, he immediately returned to the shore.

"Are you targeting me? Or are you here for this?" Wang Shen subconsciously glanced at the river patrol order hanging on his body.

On the third day, the water in Qinghe River became clear.

Wang Shen was practicing in the river when he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing across the river not far away.

"Here we go again, what is it?"

He came here today just to see what that black shadow was and why it was suddenly targeting him!
  In the river, a black shadow quickly approached Wang Shen. This time, the black shadow did not circle far away, but suddenly appeared in the shallow water and rushed towards Wang Shen quickly.

At first Wang Shen thought it was just a big fish.

But when the black shadow came closer, he saw that the black shadow actually had a human-like head and a long snake-like tail vaguely held behind it. Two words suddenly flashed in his mind - "Water Ghost" .

He hurriedly mobilized the surrounding river water to form a rotating vortex in front of him.

The water ghost rushed in without hesitation and spun around in the water. He opened his hands and used his sharp claws like knives to break through the whirlpool. He kicked his legs like a frog and swung his tail to get out of the whirlpool. Come to Wang Shen.

Wang Shen could clearly see the water ghost's yellow-white eyes and ferocious expression.

Gulu, wow, Wang Shen hugged his hands, and a spinning water ball suddenly appeared in the water not far in front of him. After the water ghost entered, he was immediately trapped. He raised his claws and made a horizontal stroke, just like he had broken through the water whirlpool just now.

But he didn't expect that the water ball suddenly burst, causing it to deform for a moment. At this moment, Wang Shen's palm arrived, pushed it horizontally, hit the chest directly, and knocked it out, spinning several times in the water. .

After being hit with a palm, Wang Shen did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. He was deeply impressed by the flexible movements of the water ghost in the water just now.

Even if he had the blessing of the river patrol order, he might not be able to defeat this water ghost in this water.

And although the palm just hit the target, he also felt that the water ghost's body was extremely tough and slippery, so that palm might not be able to seriously injure it.

So instead of advancing, he retreated toward the shore, retreating sharply.

The water ghost circled in the river a few times, then turned around and found that Wang Shen was almost ashore, so he hurriedly chased after him, moving very fast in the water.

Wang Shen stepped on the stone at the bottom of the river, and his strength exploded. His body suddenly broke out of the water, and flew towards the rocks on the shore.

When he landed on the stone, he heard a splash of water behind him. He turned around and saw that the water ghost also jumped out of the water and rushed directly towards Wang Shen.

Looking at the water ghost at this time, it looked like a monkey covered with fine scales, with teeth and claws.
