35. More than one

The situation is in chaos!
The originally calm river in the Milky Way suddenly became turbulent!
The crowd in the water burst into wailing and howling, and many people had already fallen into the water!
Yun Song reacted the fastest because he was the first to discover Xun Zhenzi's anomaly.
He has also been preparing nervously.
After discovering something strange under the water, he immediately rushed down, holding Wang Lin with one hand and taking out the shell gun with the other.
Wang Lin ran back desperately.
His previous courage was long gone.
Yun Song roared angrily: "No need to go into the water! Shoot! Let all your men shoot! Shoot in the sky and shoot in the water!"
The shell gun was pointed at the sky. He pulled the trigger repeatedly, and fire sprayed from the muzzle.
Wang Lin was so frightened that he subconsciously followed his instructions and fired.
The rest of the security team heard Yunsong's order and saw their boss firing, so they followed suit and fired randomly.
All of a sudden, the riverside was in chaos.
Yun Song directed the security team to maintain order, and the people who entered the water finally climbed ashore.
Wang Youde asked them to count each other's personnel, but no one was missing.
Yunsong felt that things were not that simple.
This water ghost is very powerful and terrifying!
Xun Zhenzi is really capable, unlike himself, a rookie, Yunsong is sure of this.
But such a powerful Taoist priest only pretended to be cool when facing this water ghost, and then he was pushed away by Yi Bo Liu.
Thinking of this, Yun Song couldn't help but sigh.
What a fickle thing his mother is!
Xun Zhenzi traveled all over the country and experienced countless bloody storms and encountered countless monsters and monsters. He must have never thought that he would end up in a small mountain town!
Let's get back to the topic, although Xun Zhenzi's vitality was severely damaged today and his cultivation is not at its peak, the fact that the water ghost can push him away shows that this water ghost is very powerful and terrifying.
Would such a powerful and terrifying water ghost let go of so many people who fell into the water?
But the people are really fine.
Wang Youde led the security team to conduct a detailed investigation and found that no one was dragged into the water by the water ghost.
So Yunsong guessed: Could the water ghost be hiding in the crowd?!
He told Wang Youde and Wang Lin his guess, and asked them to keep an eye on everyone who had been in the water before.
Just as he was walking around looking for two people to talk to.
A strange feeling appeared in his heart.
Something was watching him in the river!
He turned back sharply.
The great river eastward is swept away by waves.
There was only the bright moonlight on the river, and nothing else.
But the feeling of being stared at by something is still there!
Then he guessed, didn't the water ghost come ashore? Or was it hiding in the water?
Later, Wang Youde organized the people to go home, but he did not go home, so he sat on the bank of the river.
The feeling that something was staring at him underwater still existed and never disappeared!
Yunsong held the peach wood sword in one hand and the Luotou clan's dark money in the other. He could get rid of the evil spirit just by waiting for the water ghost to show up.
Linghu Yuan continued to walk around behind him carrying the fire stick. He also dug a hole by the river where he could get in and hide at any time.
The stars move and the moonlight ends.
The morning sun rises in the east, and the clear air rises.
Its daybreak.
There was no talking all night, everything was calm in the river, and there was no trace of the water ghost.
But he just knew there was something hidden in the water.
The thing was staring at him from the dark.
As the morning sun rose from the mountains, the feeling of being stared at suddenly disappeared, and Yun Song slowly stood up.
After sitting all night, my legs are numb!
After a while, someone came to the river upstream, holding on to their straw sandals and humming a tune.
There is a pier by the river, and a boat is docked there. This man is the punter.
He saw Yun Song in the light of the rising sun and said hello warmly.
Yun Song nodded in response, but the man screamed in terror.
The screams were not directed at Yunsong.
But towards the river.
A body appeared on the river.
Wearing a blue earthen preacher's robe, a pure Yang scarf on his head, and cloud shoes on his feet...
The body of Xun Zhenzi who disappeared last night finally appeared.
Yun Song walked over with a gloomy face. Xun Zhenzi died downstream and his body could not move. So how did it come upstream against the current?
Moreover, the corpse appeared strangely floating on the water.
It seems to be stuck on the ground.
The water flow was turbulent, and it did not go down with the current, nor did it spin in circles being beaten by the waves.
It just floats on the water silently and quietly.
It's like there's something down there dragging it...
Yun Song stood on the dock and stared at the corpse.
There was something vaguely peeping at him underwater.
He then took out his rifle and fired three bursts at the water below the body!
Xun Zhenzi's body suddenly began to ripple downward with the water.
The man rocking the boat was frightened by the gunshots, but after he realized what he was doing, the gunshots emboldened him.
After all, gunshots come from the human world and are the sounds made by living people.
He approached Yunsong and asked, "Taoist Priest, is there something under the Taoist Priest's body in the water?"
Yun Song didn't answer but asked: "What did you see?"
The man scratched his head and said: "Actually, I didn't see anything. I was frightened just now. Taoist priest, you don't know something. This is the second time I saw a corpse in the river, so I was frightened."
Yun Song asked: "The second time you saw a corpse in the river?"
The man said: "Yes, the second time, the first time was when Sanluzi and his family were floating in the water - oh, the Taoist priest probably didn't know about Sanluzi..."
"I know, he used to be the ferryman here." Yun Song continued.
The man grinned and said: "Yes, rowing and ferrying was their family's ancestral livelihood in the past, but his whole family died."
"Well, people can't be greedy." The man sighed and shook his head, "I told him at that time, the things in this galaxy...ahem!"
He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, and quickly coughed to hide his guilt.
Yun Song did not press him, but said calmly: "Your mayor's life was saved by Xiaodao."
"Your young master from the Qian family's life was saved by Xiaodao."
"You are just a big family—forget it, Xiaodao will regret helping their family."
"In short, Xiaodao still wants to save the lives of the people in your old town."
"So, if you want to hide something from Xiaodao, then you can hide it."
The man waving the oar is not stupid, he understood Yun Song’s voiceover.
So he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Master Dao, it's not that the villain wants to hide something, but - well, there are rules in the town, and some things are not allowed to be said, so please don't make things difficult for the villain!"
Yun Song said: "It's okay. You don't have to be embarrassed. In a few days, you won't be embarrassed anymore. By then, you will take these things to your grave and no one can ask you."
"Of course, the premise is that not too many people die in your town, and there are still people who can dig graves and lay coffins for you."
The man waving the oar was stunned.
Then he felt wet and hot on his feet, and when he lowered his head, he saw a cockroach lifting its legs to urinate on his feet.
The man quickly backed away. He looked around and found that it was still early and no one came to the dock, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, Master Tao, I will tell you what I know."
"I think all these things in our town are related to Sanluzi. Sanluzi picked up a beautiful ceramic box in the water."
"The villain was there at that time. The villain told him that he couldn't pick up this porcelain box. The Milky Way is the place where the Dragon King was buried. The things in the water might be the Dragon King's tomb. Wouldn't picking that thing up be robbing the dragon?
The prince’s tomb?”
"But he didn't listen, and it turned out there was money in the box!"
Yun Song already knew what happened next. He didn't let the man continue, but asked:
"You said that the Milky Way is the place where the Dragon King was buried?"
The man said: "It's not what a villain said, it's a saying passed down from our ancestors, saying that a dragon fell into the Milky Way, and even said that the Milky Way was formed after a dragon fell down!"
"So you don't eat fish and shrimps in the river?" Yun Song suddenly remembered this detail——
Since coming to the old town, he has eaten various kinds of meat from poultry and livestock, but he has never eaten aquatic products such as fish, shrimp and crab.
It stands to reason that since the town relies on water for drinking water, fish should be indispensable for restaurants and wealthy households in the town.
However, he has never eaten fish.
Haven't even seen it.
The man waving the oar nodded: "Yes, we are not allowed to eat anything in the water. This is also the ancestral teaching, and it is also related to the dragon buried in the river."
"By the way, Mr. Dao, this thing should be quite reasonable. Sanluzi said that he saw Xiaolong in the river when he was a child. He said that Xiaolong came to pay homage to the old dragon..."
A sound of footsteps came faintly from a distance.
The man swaying the oar closed his mouth. Yun Song looked back and saw Wang Lin, wearing military uniform and military boots, running towards him with a group of strong men.
Seeing Yun Song holding the shell gun, Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, was it you who shot just now? I was just thinking, how could there be gunshots by the river this early in the morning?"
"Okay, as long as it's a real person shooting, we're going back."
The reason why he hurried back was because he looked up and saw the body of Xun Zhenzi floating in the water.
He was afraid that Yun Song would let him go to the water to retrieve the body.
Yun Song did have this plan: "You're here now, don't rush back, go and get the body of Taoist Master Xun Zhenzi."
Wang Lin's legs were cramping again.
He took a breath and said: "Master, look at what I'm doing, brother. I've prepared a gift for you. You wait until I go back to get it for you. I asked someone to get a box of bullets. Your box of cannons."
bullet!"
Yun Song knew that this guy was bribing him, so he said, "Okay, what are you afraid of? Why don't you just ask your brothers to fish out the body?"
Wang Lin suddenly became dejected: "Isn't that pushing my brother into the fire pit? Forget it, I'll just go down and fish him out."
That's what he said, but after stopping the body of Xun Zhenzi from floating downwards, it didn't enter the water at all.
Yun Song urged him, but he pretended not to hear.
Linghu Yun peed at him with contempt, then jumped into the water and dragged the body out.
Everyone was shocked.
Yun Song didn't expect that Linghu Yun, who always looked timid, could still have such a skill when he was so strong.
The strong men also exclaimed: "This cock is explosive!"
Linghu Yun didn't bother to answer them.
A bunch of weaklings!
There was nothing unusual while it was recovering the body.
Xun Zhenzi's body was dragged up normally.
Lifelike.
Yun Song asked Wang Lin to find a car to drag Xun Zhenzi's body back to the town. On the way, he asked, "Is there anything else happening in the town?"
Wang Lin said: "Nothing happened, it's just that Mr. and Mrs. Li Ma were heartbroken. Alas, what a sin!"
Yunsong was silent.
Two sons of the whole family are gone. This is simply killing Mr. and Mrs. Li Ma!
If the couple doesn't think too much, they may drown themselves together!
He suddenly felt heavy in his heart.
Xun Zhenzi is dead.
He is the only one left in the old town who can deal with water ghosts.
Can he do it?
He's willing to try it!
A real man will always run away if he wants to!
He went back, had breakfast, took a nap, got up at noon, had dinner, and then went to the Milky Way again.
The water ghost is still in the river.
He looked at the scorching sun above his head and stepped into the river with his mahogany sword.
He wants to catch ghosts.
He is the bait.
He knew that the water ghost was in the river, because after he entered the water, he once again felt the feeling of being peeped by something secretly.
Like a thorn in the back!
This was not his hallucination. Linghu Yun also had this perception. It had been swaying around worriedly and fidgeting.
However, the water ghost did not bite the bait, and the river was still flowing normally until the afternoon.
Then he heard footsteps again.
Yun Song walked ashore and looked along the way. He hadn't seen anyone coming yet. Linghu Yu jumped up suddenly and opened his mouth to scream behind him.
The water ghost finally takes action!
Yunsong waved his hand and struck out the peach wood sword before he could use the money. The footsteps on the shore came closer.
There was a wave on the surface of the water, and something went with it.
The blazing sunlight shone across the water, and Yunsong probably saw a dark shadow——
The black shadow flashed away in the water, and he could only see clearly that the thing seemed to have some black hair on it...
The person who came was a strong man carrying a gun, and he shouted anxiously: "Zhenzhenzhen is in trouble, something bad has happened! Damn it, someone has died again! It's Wang Meng, Wang Meng died in the water tank!"
"He drowned himself in the mansion's water tank!"
Hearing this, Yun Song's heart sank and he said, "Has the water ghost come ashore again?"
The strong man nodded with a sad face.
Yun Song subconsciously looked into the river. He clearly felt a water ghost peering at him in the river in the afternoon. How could this thing go to the shore to harm people?
A guess emerged in his mind:
Chapter completed!
