Is this the water ghost in folklore looking for a stand-in, and suddenly Ding Xiaolan remembered what her uncle Chen Jixian told her about the water ghost.
Some water spirits who cannot be reincarnated for a long time will turn into big fish trapped in shallow water to deceive passers-by.
If this person is not full of yang energy, or if he is too old to be at the head of the year, he will be confused by the illusion in front of him and go into the water to catch fish, but in fact, the shallow water he sees trapping the big fish is actually a place where the water is extremely deep, so deep that you can't even float a corpse.
At the same time, Ding Xiaolan also remembered that during the trip to Guta Village, Qi Lu had told her that she should not panic after drowning, and that her hands and feet should be paddled regularly, only in this way can she have a chance to live.
So Ding Xiaolan forced herself to calm down, endured the pain caused by the cramps, and kicked the water down with her hands and feet at the same time as Qi Lu taught her.
Slowly, her body floated, and in her hazy vision, she saw several people running towards the place where she had fallen into the water, and her heart suddenly relaxed a little.
At this moment, she inadvertently saw a miserable man standing on the shore, smiling at her sinisterly.
Yi Hanchuan Ding Xiaolan immediately recognized this smiling person, and he also smelled a faint demonic aura in his nose.
Now she fully understood that she and Uncle Wei were not looking for a stand-in for the water ghost, but Yi Hanchuan, a monster Ding Xiaolan became nervous again, her hands and feet kicked indisobediently, her body suddenly sank again, causing her head to be flooded, and the cold river water kept pouring into her throat, making her consciousness gradually blurred.
In a trance, Ding Xiaolan heard the sound of someone jumping into the river, but it was only a few seconds, and a big hand wrapped around her willow waist and led her towards the riverbank.
After being saved, Ding Xiaolan opened her eyes and found that the person who saved her turned out to be Lao Wu, who held Ding Xiaolan with one hand and Wei Donglin with the other, and rescued them all ashore at almost the same moment.
Ding Xiaolan, who was lying on the bank, turned pale, opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of turbid river water, feeling that her mind was much clearer.
She tried to look towards the place where Yi Hanchuan had just appeared, and found that there was not even a human figure there.
"It's Yi Hanchuan who framed us."
Ding Xiaolan was out of breath and told Lao Wu the truth.
"I expected this kid to do something to you."
Lao Wu blinked his eyes and whispered in her ear: "This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it when we go back." ” After such a toss, Ding Xiaolan had no interest in going to Wei Donglin's house for a long time.
Fortunately, her health was fine, and after she and Wei Donglin asked each other about each other's condition, they each resigned and went home.
Lao Wu drove Ding Xiaolan home, told her a few words, and then went home.
However, he did not go to the private club of the fox clan, but returned directly to the Kunlun office.
Seeing that Lao Wu's clothes were not dry, Qi Lu couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why did you fall into the water?"
"Pretty much."
Lao Wu briefly told him what had just happened.
After listening to Lao Wu's words, she said with a sad face: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend."
I don't want you to have another accident, so let's just go back to the mountains and forests with our husband and wife, we can go to Qianyehua, and he will give us a place in Qingqiu. ” Qi Lu heard that his wife was persuading him to go into hiding, so he frowned and didn't speak.
Lao Wu said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, can we get out of the way Now that the bastards of the Six Evils have been eyeing the box in your husband's hand, do you think they will give up, I'm afraid that they won't let us go if they chase us to the ends of the earth." ” "Or" Yu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and said in a cautious tone: "It's better to give them the box, and we can rest assured for the rest of our lives." ” "Confused, it's really a woman's opinion" Qi Lu blushed, this time he didn't obey his wife, but said to her in a stern tone: "Are you scared, if the bow and arrow of the gods fall into their hands, I don't know how many devastating things will be done, and then it will be your and my sin, not to mention that these demons still want to become gods, can I give them this chance?"
Hearing this, her face couldn't help but turn blue and white for a while, and she muttered after a while: "How can I be afraid of these guys, I'm worried about the god who is supporting them behind their backs." ” There was silence in the room for a while, and the words of the concubine were to the point.
With the strength of the three of them, let alone now, even at the peak, they are not the opponents of this goddess.
Sha Hua's wife was indeed quite a tricky figure, and even most of the gods of Kunlun were afraid of her and did not want to fight her head-on, because she held in her hand a Fu Xiqin that was no less than the bow of the Heavenly God Qi Lu couldn't help but think of the battle with her a long time ago, the situation was completely one-sided, not to mention that he fought back, he didn't even have a chance to make a move, if it wasn't for Hou Yi coming in time to repel her, Qi Lu would not be wronged even if he died thousands of times.
Every time he thought of that fierce battle, Qi Lu was drenched in a cold sweat, and he had to re-weigh the situation in front of him.
Just when he was retreating in his heart, he couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces with Hou Yi in his mind, which made him blush, and subconsciously stood up and said, "No matter what, I will never hand over the box to this group of demons." ” "But you are likely to die because of this, the spirits of the gods will not wake up, when there is anyone else who can control her today, am I more important than that ethereal promise?"
The disagreement made the couple quarrel over this matter, but Qi Lu did not back down, but argued with reason in persuasion.
Seeing that they were arguing, Lao Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head and sighed, and waited until they were almost arguing before he came over to persuade him and pulled Qi Lu aside.
Qi Lu gasped and said, "Zhen'er, you have changed a lot more than before."
"I think it's because you've been poisoned too deeply by Hou Yi, and you've changed to "You have a-for-tat confrontation.
Lao Wu was afraid that they would quarrel again, so he hurriedly pulled Qi Lu and said, "Don't be machismo, let's go, let's go out for a walk."
After speaking, he couldn't help but walk out with Qi Lu's arm on his shoulder.
Yu Zhen deliberately didn't look at Qi Lu and said to Lao Wu: "Wait a minute, don't go to the fox demon's side, come back early and taste the side dishes I made." ” Lao Wu knew that she was looking for herself to go down the stairs, so he nodded and agreed.
At sunset, Lao Wu and Qi Lu sat on a bench by the flower bed, both of them smoking cigarettes one after another.
It took a long time for the two to look at each other, and almost at the same moment they said, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Hearing the same words, the two of them laughed in unison.
Qi Lu, who finally calmed down, asked him first: "There is one thing I want to ask you, but I haven't said it." ” "Then ask, it's moldy if you hold it in your stomach."
"When you were in Hailong Village, you were very brave, and you didn't flinch every time you went to sea, which is not like your usual style."
Lao Wu was stunned, and a hint of surprise crossed the corners of his eyes, but he still answered Qi Lu's question.
"Actually, when the village chief and we first talked about digging through the sea eye and sending people down to the sea to see what was going on, I knew that they had encountered a sleeping dragon, and the thing that could glow and flow was the dragon ball."

"Don't tell me, you're working hard for that bead" "No way, the firm has not received any big orders during that time, our expenses are beyond our means, and getting that bead can at least maintain the company's operation for decades."
"It's not your character to die for money."
"Whatever you want, the beads were taken back by that guy anyway."
Qi Lu suddenly asked, "You didn't know that Jiaolong and Kunlun had a relationship at that time, right?"
"Haha, you're thinking too smart."
Lao Wu dodged and set his eyes on the sunset on the horizon.
Qi Lu was slightly stunned, then shook his head lightly and said, "Now it's your turn to ask me." ” Lao Wu retracted his gaze and didn't ask him anything, but said something else.
"Since Xiaoyu experienced the fire in the peach orchard, the number of surviving peach trees in the garden is less than the original 5, and the butterflies flying among the trees are almost dead."
"Do you want to say that the arsonist bastard tried to destroy the peach in the garden, so that the gods could no longer make the elixir?"
"The motive of the murderer is not what I want to discuss today, not to mention that the fire is still an eternal mystery, and no one knows who the arsonist is."
Qi Lu couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, his son died in that fire, but he couldn't kill the enemy until now.
Lao Wu continued: "A hundred years after the Pantaoyuan Rebellion, there was another big event in the garden, do you remember?"
"One hundred years, a big event" Qi Lu was stunned, he was trying to remember, but in the end he shook his head in disappointment, he really couldn't remember what happened later.
"At that time, the peach tree bloomed."
The peach only blooms once in 3,000 years, and it will take another 3,000 years to bear fruit, and the ripe peach is the main material for the Kunlun gods, including the Queen Mother of the West, to make the elixir.
In this way, the flowering of the peach tree can be regarded as a festive event, but it cannot be called a big event, and Qi Lu's eyes are even more confused.
"It's because of the peach blooming, there are two butterflies living in the garden who have been punished by the mother, you really don't remember this" "Oh, that's what you're talking about."
Qi Lu remembered, and the memories that had been sealed in his heart were pieced together little by little.
"The two butterflies not only sucked the nectar of the peach on their backs to the fairy who was guarding the garden, but also stole a lot of blooming flowers, causing the number of peaches to plummet when they were ripe.
They have caused a catastrophe, so the master suppressed them in a place that the gods and demons did not know, even if the heaven and earth were reversed, they could not return to the fairyland. ” Old Wu slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering with anger.
"Now I can be sure that this guy Yi Hanchuan is one of those two butterflies."
Qi Lu was taken aback, and he said in a lost voice: "I thought he was a butterfly demon who survived the catastrophe, but why do you think that it is a butterfly that violates the rules of heaven, you must know that with the master's profound divine power, it is impossible for a god and demon to escape from her cage." ” "Hmph, don't forget, that dragon in Hailong Village, he is suppressing evil spirits on the orders of Niangniang" "What" Lao Wu's words were no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Qi Lu stood up in a daze, he looked at Lao Wu in distraction, and muttered in his mouth: "If Yi Hanchuan is one of them, then the other one" He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Actually, you've been suspicious for a long time, haven't you" Old Wu's words pierced his heart like a needle.
"No, you can't jump to conclusions without real evidence."
Qi Lu sat back on the bench in a dejected manner, feeling the evening breeze blowing on his body unusually cold.
"Yes, I have no evidence, it's all inferences.
But I have a way to prove it, are you willing to cooperate" Lao Wu's eyes suddenly flashed.
Looking at each other, Qi Lu's heart suddenly shook heavily.
His face became paler and paler, and in the end, he nodded lightly and agreed to Lao Wu's request. i0 t1706231537:
