Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 101 Arrogant Arrogance
Li Xiuyuan was only slightly relieved when he pulled the boatman out of the water into the hand of painting the boat.

Finally arrived in time, if it was later, I am afraid that the boatman would also fall into the river.

But when Li Xiuyuan looked towards the river, he found that the other boatman had disappeared, and there was no one in sight.

"Young Master." The two guards hurried over.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hands intently: "Don't go near the river, there are foreign objects in the water."

In the blink of an eye, a boatman was pulled into the water, and there was no sign of struggling. This is definitely not a normal fall into the water. There must be something evil in the river.

"Ahem~!" The boatman coughed violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of river water.

"Boater, are you okay?" Li Xiuyuan helped him up, patted his back, and helped him breathe.

The boatman's face was pale, as if he had been frightened by something: "I, I saw a man under the water. He held my oar with his hand. Then he grabbed my neck and tried to drag me into the river. What did you say? , Your Majesty is traveling ahead, our boats must not block your way."

"Zibuyu is strange, boatman, you must be confused. How could someone pull you underwater? It may be that the oars got entangled in aquatic plants when you were rowing, so you accidentally slipped and fell into the water." Zhu Yu laughed.

"No, absolutely not. There must be water ghosts in the river. Xiao Wu was dragged into the river just now by the water ghosts. We can't move on, we have to turn back." The boatman said in panic.

"In broad daylight, there are no water ghosts. It's just a rural rumor." Zhu Yu shook his head and said, but he didn't believe it, and neither did the other scholars.

Scholars do not believe in ghosts and gods, and they have never encountered ghosts and gods.

But Li Xiuyuan frowned, neither believing nor disbelieving.

Water ghosts are unlikely, because the sky is not dark, and water ghosts can't show up. After all, ghosts are afraid of the sun.

Of course, some ghosts with high morality still have the ability to haunt for half a day.

"I believe what the boatman said about the water ghost." Wang Ping said righteously at this time.

"Oh, brother Wang, you really believe in ghosts and gods?" Zhu Yu asked in surprise.

Wang Ping smiled and said, "Recently, I have been reading a lot of books about ghosts and ghosts, but I believe that ghosts and ghosts really exist. Boatman, don't panic. If you encounter water ghosts, I have a way to cure them."

"Could it be that Brother Wang also has the ability to exorcise ghosts and catch demons? Today we have to see and see." One named Zhong Qing smiled.

"How difficult is it?" Wang Ping cupped his hands and signaled, "I only need a copybook, and I can make the water ghosts disperse."

Li Xiuyuan next to him looked at him suspiciously. This Wang Ping has changed a lot in a while, and he actually knows how to subdue water ghosts. It seems that the incident of painting skin last time stimulated him a lot. There is still time to watch Strange Stories.

"Please make room for me." Wang Ping smiled at the moment, walked to the table, spread out the paper, and rubbed the ink and brush.

"This is the method I read from a book. The book says that this method is the most effective when encountering water ghosts,"

Wang Ping wrote with ink, and wrote: "This water ghost is actually not scary, but it also has weaknesses. What the water ghost fears most is the word "Xiao". As long as I write this word and throw it into the water, the water ghost will run away immediately. Ying, so we can keep us safe, everyone, take care."

"Oh, it's so miraculous?" A few scholars next to him approached and asked.

Li Xiuyuan also asked curiously: "I don't know which word is it? If it is useful, I will learn it too."

"Brother Li, you are arrogant." Wang Ping said.

Soon a big word was written, he blew the ink dry, and then confidently took the copybook and threw it down towards the river.

"Hoo~!"

A gust of river wind blew by, and the copybook was blown by the wind, instead of falling on the river, it fell on the boat, and stuck to it when it met the water.

"." Wang Ping was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Wang, you lost your head." Zhu Yu beside him couldn't help laughing.

"I'll write it again." Wang Ping was a little annoyed, turned around and wrote a word "Xiao", and then threw it into the river.

This time he learned the lesson, instead of throwing it away, he stretched out his hand and put the copybook on the river.

"It's done." Wang Ping nodded in satisfaction.

Everyone looked at the Xiaozi floating on the river again, and fell silent for a while.

"The handwriting has changed." A scholar said.

"I see." Wang Ping said.

The river was rippling, and the words on the copybook floating on the river were washed away by the water, and then they were blurred, and the handwriting could no longer be seen clearly.

"There should be no water ghosts now, right?" Zhu Yu asked.

Wang Ping replied: "Yes, maybe, boatman, try sailing again, the water ghost should have escaped."

"I can't open it. I can't open the boat today. Xiao Wu has already fallen. I don't want to fall with him." The boatman was frightened and refused, no matter what, he would never touch the oar again.

"Brother Li, why don't you let your guards try?" Zhu Yu said, "We can't be stuck on the river forever. It's getting late now, and we have to go back to the city."

"That's right, there may be some danger in staying here." Li Xiuyuan felt the seriousness of the matter.

The boatman who fell just now was probably in danger. He motioned to a guard next to him, and then said: "Be careful."

The guard nodded in response, and then took the oars to row.

"There's something under the water." As soon as the escort oars entered the river, they immediately felt a strong pulling force coming from the water.

Fortunately, the guards were prepared and were not pulled down, but they let go, and the oars were dragged directly into the river.

"Water, the water ghost is still there." The boatman stammered in fright.

The guard was also shocked, and did not dare to continue rowing, and quickly retreated from the side of the boat, so as not to accidentally fall into the river.

"Brother Wang, your method won't work." Zhu Yu said.

Wang Ping smiled awkwardly, feeling very embarrassed.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "If you write an arrogant word, people in the river who don't know about it will think you are scolding it. I'm probably angry now, but your method has reminded me, maybe I can write a Send a letter to communicate with the thing in the river, and see if it can let us go."

After speaking, he went to the desk and started writing.

"Brother Li, you are also proficient in this matter of gods and ghosts? Could it be that you want to draw a Taoist talisman to dispel evil spirits?" Zhu Yu asked.

"I don't know how to draw symbols."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, and just wrote a line on the rice paper: "Crossing the river is blocked, can you let me go?"

After thinking about it for a while, I added another sentence at the end: Give me some face.

Zhu Yu and the other scholars next to him took a look and were stunned.

"I don't know, try it, maybe the things in the river will give me face." Li Xiuyuan said, then dried the ink and threw the paper into the river.

What is strange is that when his copybook landed on the river, it was neither blown away by the wind nor washed away by the water, but like a tile, it seemed to have weight and sank straight towards the river go down.
