Chapter 68 Killing the Water Ghost
  Wang Shen, who was standing on the rock, slightly bent his body and moved Qi in his palms. When the water ghost came close, he stretched out both palms. He moved up and down, opened the claws of the water ghost with one palm, and shot it out diagonally with the other palm. .

The wind from the palm was so sharp that it stung the water ghost and subconsciously closed his eyes in mid-air.

Just at this moment, Wang Shen's palm arrived and landed firmly on its body. The force of his palm was fierce and domineering.

With Qi's blessing, the strength of this palm is more than a thousand pounds.

When the water ghost's body was neutral, there was a crisp sound, which was the sound of broken bones, and his chest instantly sunk.

The water ghost's body trembled and he let out a piercing scream, just like a night owl. The severe pain made him lose consciousness instantly.

This sound reminded Wang Shen of the strange sound he heard at night in a warehouse outside Wuyang County.

It turns out that this water ghost was calling at night in those days.

When the water ghost was lost in thought, Wang Shen grabbed the arm of the water ghost and swung it to the cliff not far away. It fell onto the rock wall with a loud bang. The violent impact immediately made it crumble. white.

At the same time that the water ghost was thrown away, Wang Shen also followed it and flew over. He touched the rock with his soles and landed on the ground with force. He was like a flying arrow.

The moment the water ghost fell on the rock wall, Wang Shen followed him.

Both palms were shot out instantly and landed on the water ghost.

The head, neck, chest, and abdomen received severe injuries one after another, with continuous crisp sounds, like a heavy hammer hitting it.

Shaoqing Wang Shen fell down, but the water ghost stuck to the rock, and blood continued to flow down the rock wall.

After Wang Shen fell, he stepped on the rock and jumped up again. He slapped the water ghost several times in a row, causing it to bleed from all its orifices. Its head collapsed, its neck was broken, its chest was sunken, and its whole body was deformed. Only then did it breathe a sigh of relief. , fell on the stone aside.

Looking up at this moment, the water ghost looked like a piece of skin hanging on the cliff, with blood flowing downwards along the stone wall.

This should be dead!
  Wang Shen quickly looked around.

There are no boats on the Qinghe River; there are no pedestrians in the mountains and forests.

very good!
  He suddenly rose up from the ground, rushed up the cliff, raised his hand and tore the water ghost off.

He held the water ghost with one hand, and grabbed the stone with the other. He lifted it hard, kicked off his feet, and shot straight up three feet. In an instant, he rushed up the cliff and sank deep into the forest.

Arriving deep in the forest, Wang Shen found the water ghost's body still on the ground and studied it carefully.

"Water ghost, He Bo's patrolling envoy, what kind of species is this? It looks like a monkey, with fine scales growing on the outside of its body. Does it also have fish gills?"

Wang Shen discovered a special organ similar to fish gills behind the ears of the water ghost.

Looking at the water ghost in front of him, it was beyond Wang Shen's knowledge. There was no aquatic creature that looked like this in his impression.

Wang Shen took out a knife and cut open the water ghost's outer skin along the damaged wound.

"The skin is very tough, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to break through it with ordinary people's strength."

He took a general look at the internal organs that had already been deformed.

"It looks very similar to the structure of the human body. There is no so-called inner elixir of a monster. This couldn't have been originally a human. What kind of influence did it have on the body later?" Wang Shen looked at the body of the water ghost in front of him. .

"Does this have anything to do with the Jiang Patrol Order? Will it have any impact on the body if worn for a long time?" Wang Shen lowered his head and glanced at the River Patrol Order on his body.

He thought again of the deceitful river patrol officer Li Kui. He should have worn the river patrol order on his body for several years. Judging from his biography, the river patrol order did not have a negative impact on him. , On the contrary, it made his body very healthy.

But unlike Wang Shen, Li Kui spent most of his time on land and only occasionally went into the water.

"You need to confirm this again. After all, it is related to your own safety!"

After some research, Wang Shen lit a fire in the forest and burned the water ghost into dregs. During the burning process, the water ghost gave off a unique fishy smell. Afterwards, Wang Shen went to the river again and saw the blood stains on the cliff, which was very eye-catching.

"It's a bit sloppy, but it should be better after a few heavy rains to wash it away, and not many people come here on weekdays, but I'm not sure now. Is this water ghost one or a nest?"

From that day on, Wang Shen paid a lot of attention when practicing in the water.

In the next two days, Wang Shen went to Li Kui's hometown to inquire about this person.

After some exploration, he actually found out about Li Kui from an old man.

That Li Kui once served as the village magistrate and created a huge family business. It is recorded in the village's genealogy. Under the guidance of the old man, he also came to Li Kui's old abandoned house.

The house was in disrepair.

"Does he have any descendants?"

"No more." The old man shook his head.

"Then why is this house still standing and not demolished?"

"Li Kui is kind to the people in the village, so his old house is still there and has not been demolished." The old man coughed twice.

"Thank you, old man, can you tell me something?"

Well, the old man hesitated.

"I don't know much."

Under Wang Shen's repeated requests, he told some old stories.

Originally, if a stranger asked about a person in the village who had died for more than a hundred years, the old man would not tell him. But Wang Shen was different. Last year, there was heavy rain and the village was hit by disaster. Wang Shen even came to the village to deliver food.

The old man had a good impression of him.

That's the benefit of doing something good.

Although it is said that you don’t ask for anything in return for doing good deeds, you may be rewarded at some point, but it may be in a way you didn’t expect.

"It's because of He Bo. Back then, He Bo asked people in the village for human sacrifices. At that time, it was Li Kui who came forward to meet He Bo and saved the people in the village."

"Oh, so there is such a story?" This story did not appear in Li Kui's autobiography.

"What about Li Kui's descendants?"

"It is said that it was because He Bo was offended that his Li family became extinct!" When he said this, the old man sighed.

"Unparalleled, then who built Li Kui's ancient tomb for him? And he chose such a location!" Wang Shen thought to himself.

"Then Li Kui was buried in a nearby mountain after his death?"

"I don't know about this." The old man shook his head.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Wang Shenyou walked around in a circle and got another interesting news from a dying old man.

It is said that Li Kui had more than one wife and two concubines, one of which he divorced. The concubine was from Wuyang. The specific location in Wuyang is unknown.

"Wu Yang?"
