Paper Maker

Chapter 151 Water Monster
Looking at the tree demon that was on fire in front of me, I took out two potatoes and ate them. Cao Qilong was only happy to see the tree demon dancing, and from time to time, he asked two paper figurines to burn them with fire talismans.

The whole willow tree is relatively big, as thick as one person's arms. Borrowing a ray of heavenly fire from Huode Xingjun, it will burn endlessly. With Cao Qilong adding fuel to the fire, all the branches will be burnt up soon. The bare tree trunk next to it was crackling and crackling in the raging fire.

Cao Qilong made a fuss for a while, feeling bored, so he sat down and ate a potato, and asked me vaguely: "It's bad luck for eight lifetimes for this tree demon to meet us. It will really become a spirit, and it is very likely to be the same as the old black mountain demon in A Chinese Ghost Story, by the way, Wang Zuxian's Nie Xiaoqian is really beautiful!"

The potatoes were already roasted yesterday, and they taste cold when eaten cold. Seeing Cao Qilong joking heartlessly, I said, "Stop making trouble. After I find Lin Xiaoqi and go back, I will introduce you to a beautiful woman." .”

Cao Qilong was only happy when he heard that, and quickly asked me if I was amusing him. At this moment, the tree demon was burnt to charcoal because of driving the fire.

Cao Qilong was about to use the Lihuo Talisman to burn it again, I pulled him to sit down: "The tree demon's Taoism has been burned long ago, and the corpse poison has also been dissipated long ago, don't waste mana."

Cao Qilong just sat down, and after eating the potatoes, he poured a few sips of water into the bucket Cao Qilong made out of a bamboo tube, and washed the potatoes down his throat, I clapped my hands and stood up: "Let's go and see that tree demon! "

Walking within the attack range of the tree demon, I found that there was not a single grass on the ground. It was obvious that the tree demon had taken over the place, and now it was being burned to charcoal, and a branch more than half a foot long was lying on the ground with smoke. , The place that was burnt to carbon is still red.

I kicked on the tree trunk: "You willow, now you can be regarded as good and evil will be rewarded!"

After tidying up, Cao Qilong and I walked to the foot of the mountain. The whole cave was a bit like a culvert, half submerged by water, revealing a round top, and there was no way to get in except for swimming.

Cao Qilong immediately unbuttoned his pants, and I asked, "What are you doing?"

Cao Qilong said: "Swim in!"

I rolled my eyes, and was about to scold him, but he "hush", it turned out he was peeing.I told him not to pee in the river, your sister, if we go in and get wet, it won't make me sick, Cao Qilong told me with a smile, he is still a boy, this is a boy peeing, it's okay.

I didn't bother to talk to Cao Qilong, the key was to find a way to get into the cave, and when I turned around, I saw the half-trunk of the willow tree, and I was overjoyed that there was a way.

I asked Cao Qilong to lift up the trunk of the willow tree, and went to the city to find a few beams and tied them together to form a simple boat. The willow tree is shaded, so it will not sink in the water, and it will be fine without going through big waves. Cao Qilong went again Retrieved the Tianzi sword.

Cao Qilong and I tied a few bamboo poles to the boat, hung candles and lanterns, pushed the boat into the Santu River, jumped into the boat, jumped, no problem.

Cao Qilong held a bamboo pole and stood in the water at the back. The boat started slowly, and I held the Tianzi sword in front to watch the surroundings. After being clouded a few times, I really dare not mess around.

After finally entering the cave, I saw that the entire cave was one or two feet wide, and the inside was full of smooth rock walls. After thousands of years of water washing, it looked extremely clean, without any bryophytes.

Xiaozhou walked tens of meters, everything was very calm, nothing happened, but it made me pay more attention, because the Nine Palaces Formation cast a shadow in my heart, when I was concentrating on looking ahead, Cao Qilong was called out from behind.

I asked Cao Qilong: "What's wrong?"

Cao Qilong said loudly: "Damn it, something in the water is pulling my bamboo pole!"

I quickly turned around, and saw Cao Qilong holding a bamboo pole with both hands, tug-of-war with something in the water. I stuck the Tianzi sword into a willow and went to help Cao Qilong. As a result, Cao Qilong and I used as much strength as we could in the water. With so much strength, I can't lift the bamboo pole used as a boat support, so what the hell happened to me?

If you want to say what the paper maker is most afraid of, it is in the water, because the paper does not work at all in the water. Although there are waterproof paper figurines in Yin Cheng's Daoist scriptures, the paper making method is too troublesome. , the material is too harsh, neither Cao Qilong nor I did it, and there is no way to do it.

Our small boat has no ability to sail in the water, and it depends on this bamboo pole to support the water. If there is no bamboo pole, then we can only float in the water along with the small boat, let alone where we are, at least the slow speed of the water can Starve us.

I looked at Cao Qilong with my eyes, and Cao Qilong understood.I yelled softly: "One, two, three!" After shouting, Cao Qilong and I pulled the bamboo pole hard together, but the end of the bamboo pole loosened, and Cao Qilong and I fell on the boat.

Cao Qilong got up and cursed loudly, and stabbed into the water with the Tianzi sword.I got up and looked into the water by the light of the lantern. The originally clear water has now become extremely turbid, and the mud at the bottom of the water has been stirred up. I don’t know what is causing trouble in the water. Anyway, it can’t be what I expected. I have to tell Cao Qilong to be careful.

I don’t know something in the water kept moving around the boat, and the water became more and more turbid. There was something under the boat scraping the bottom of the boat with its claws, making the sound of claws scratching wood. It was extremely terrifying in the quiet cave. My scalp is numb.

Listening to the sound, Cao Qilong stabbed down with the Tianzi sword along the gap of the boat, and the whole boat trembled, apparently he had stabbed something underneath, which was struggling in pain.

Cao Qilong raised his sword and stabbed down again, but this time he missed the stab. A little bit of blood slowly emerged from the entire water surface. It seemed that it should be an animal, and it could not be a ghost. This made me feel relieved.

The animal below was stabbed by Cao Qilong, holding a grudge, and raised up around the boat, the whole boat was jolted up, and the boat, which was tied with a few hemp ropes randomly, was thrown into pieces by him, and it was about to flash As soon as I grabbed the sword, I stabbed hard at the blood stain in front of the boat. I tightened my hand, and I exerted a little more force, feeling that the sword penetrated into the animal's body.

Then there was a huge force in my hand, and I held the bamboo-shaped hilt with both hands tightly. We only have such a sharp weapon in our hands. If we lose it, we can only fight with our fists!I held on to the sword tightly, the other end of the sword was the tip of the sword, and the animal in the water let out the pain. Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, a paw leaned against the side of the boat.

There are four fingers on the paw, but it is more than twice as long as a human's. The tip of the paw is four pitch-black nails. The nails are thick and conical. There are duck-like webs between the five fingers. The meat is iron-blue in color with a thick layer of rough scales on the surface.I lifted the sword and was about to chop off that palm, but before the sword fell, the other palm also stood up, and a head appeared in the water, the top of the head was covered with scales, and two eyes appeared on the face compared with a picture. The wide mouth came, and the wide mouth opened to reveal a row of fine and sharp teeth, about to bite me.

It's a water monkey!I couldn't wait to think about it, so I swung my sword and chopped it off. It hit the water monkey's shoulder right on the thick scales. Because of my strength, I chopped off one layer of the scales and hit the meat directly. .The water monkey grinned and let out a cry of pain, then dived down again.

I yelled to Cao Qilong: "Hurry up and go, this is a water monkey! It's hard to deal with."

Water monkeys have always existed in my childhood memory. Whenever my friends and I went swimming in the river, my grandpa would tell me that there were water monkeys in the river that would eat children. I was timid when I was young, so I had to sit in front of the door and watch my friends. go swimming.

Water monkeys, commonly known as "water ghosts" in the folk, have different names in different places, but they are not good anyway. It is said that water monkeys usually live in water, catch people who fall into the water, drag them to the bottom of the water, and cover the victim's seven orifices with mud , causing death by suffocation.I don't know if this thing is considered a monster among the mountain spirits and water monsters, and whether it can be killed with magic, but this thing looks hard to clean up, so it's better to change to a water ghost to clean it up.

Cao Qilong desperately supported the bamboo pole in the back, I carried the Tianzi sword and looked around, the water monkey was stabbed by me and Cao Qilong, and a lot of blood flowed, and the stained boat was all around, I saw the water monkey swimming in front of me However, I stabbed again with the Tianzi sword, but Cao Qilong also shouted from behind: "The water monkey came from behind."

What should I do without a water monkey?At this time, the boat started to shake again, and the water monkey kept bumping against the boat with great strength, and the hemp rope was broken within two strokes. root willow.

The lanterns were also separated, leaving only a lantern sticking on the willow wood. Cao Qilong made a sound in the back. I turned my head and found that the water monkey had bitten off the bamboo pole. Only a piece of bamboo pole was left in Cao Qilong's hand. He was beating the water monkey in the water with a piece of bamboo pole in his hand.

Because the willow is round, it is not stable in the water. I dare not move around, so I can only squat on the willow, holding the Tianzi sword and looking around vigilantly. I will stab any water monkey showing its head. The thorn failed. According to the old man, the water monkey can only do evil in the water and cannot leave the water. I looked around for a place to stay, but the result was that there were bare caves all around, and I couldn’t get a foot at all.

After the water monkeys stirred a few times in the water, they showed their heads one by one. Cao Qilong and I had to stand back to back. I was holding a sword, and Cao Qilong was only holding half of a bamboo pole. I counted them, and there were five in total. One of the water monkeys was stabbed in one eye, and the other was cut off from the shoulder, staring at me and Cao Qilong with their mouths open.

I waved my sword to scare off the water monkeys, but none of them were afraid to stretch out their claws to grab me and Cao Qilong.After finally repelling the water monkeys, Cao Qilong and I were both gasping for breath. Before we could rest for half a minute, the willows under our buttocks started to spin, and Cao Qilong and I fell into the icy water together.
