Confucian Sword Immortal: After studying for ten years, his majesty reaches the sky

The target of the bounty released by the Demon Town Division this time is a half-snake water ghost who drowned in the Guishui River, and the bounty price is as high as one hundred taels.

Among the ghosts, water ghosts are often regarded as one of the weakest low-level ghosts.

But the object of this bounty order is somewhat special.

This half-snake water ghost was a mother before her death, so after being drowned, she developed a great obsession with children.

She wanders in the Guishui River all year round, snatching and dragging passing children into the water.

At first, not many people cared about this weak water ghost.

But as more and more children's souls were dragged down, her strength also grew at a terrifying rate.

Her strong obsession led her to launch an indiscriminate attack on all the people who passed by with their children in their arms.

In the past three years alone, nearly 100 children have been dragged into the water by her and drowned.

And after each crime, the half-snake water ghost will immediately lurk back into the water, so that the demon hunter who arrived late is completely helpless against her.

"Child?"

Thinking of the stand-in puppet supernatural power he had just obtained, Chen Ning had a flash of inspiration, and he had an idea in an instant.

At this time, looking at the clothes in the wooden box, Qing Yan asked softly and shyly:

"By the way, young master, young master wants to ...... When will you see me wearing this dress?"

Chen Ning said: "I just have something urgent, so let's wait until I come back in the evening." "

Okay young master!"

This happened to coincide with Qing Yan's thoughts.

The first time I wore such beautiful clothes, I had to take a fragrant hot bath before I was willing to

give up! I still took a bath and waited for the young master to come back!

......

Before leaving, Chen Ning made some preparations and cut out two small paper figures with the magic power of a stand-in puppet.

After that, he went to the Guishui River alone.

It was early spring, and the spring scene was thick, and the green buds were sprouting near the riverside, and the buds were blooming.

Only the location of the Demon Commander card is completely different.

In the vicinity of the location where the half-snake water ghost often haunts, dark clouds continued in the sky, and the howling yin wind carried the cold of the forest, which did not belong to spring at all.

Sweeping his gaze over the grass near the riverside, Chen Ning saw several bald heads lurking nearby.

These people are the monks of Ming Lin Temple.

The monk with the Zen staff at the head also saw Chen Ning.

When he saw the Demon Suppression Commander card hanging on Chen Ning's waist, his gaze suddenly froze for a moment, and then he hurried forward.

"This token ......

Yesterday, two disciples of my Ming Shan Temple were killed by a headless female ghost in Xitun Mountain, and when we arrived, we found that the headless female ghost had been killed.

Could it be that it was the Daoist friend who did it?"

"Are you their fellow senior brother?"

Chen Ning nodded: "Well, it's a pity that I went a step late and couldn't save those two little monks." The

monk sighed, but he was still grateful:

"Fellow Daoists don't need to care, my two junior disciples went to Xitun Mountain without permission for the bounty, and they can only be said to be blinded by greed and take the blame."

The little monk Buddha was empty, and on behalf of the two junior brothers, he thanked the Taoist friends here to avenge them. Although

this monk is burly and tall, his personality makes Chen Ning feel good.

So the two exchanged names and intentions.

"We are also here because of the half-snake water ghost like Master Chen, but ......"

looked at the Guishui River, and his face looked a little dignified.

"We've been here for a full hour, but to no avail.

The half-snake water ghost was extremely vigilant, and since he felt that he was being targeted, he had been hiding in the water and had never appeared.

The water is the domain of water ghosts, as long as she doesn't go ashore, I'm afraid that even if there are many people, there is nothing to do with her. "

As Jingkong said, this half-snake water ghost hiding in the Guishui River to do evil has actually been ordered by the Demon Suppression Division once.

However, due to her timid and cunning temperament, as long as she senses the aura of a cultivator, she will not easily appear even if there are children nearby.

Therefore, even if someone went to the Guishui River many times to crusade, they failed to catch the traces of the water ghosts.

Staring at the undulating water, Chen Ning quickly smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I have a way."

"Brother Chen has a way?"

"Well, it's very simple, you only need to use a small paper figure ......"

After hearing this, Jingkong was taken aback:

"Paper man? Brother Chen is sure that the child pretending to be a paper figure can fool that water ghost?"

"Of course, my paper figure is different from ordinary stand-in puppets. "

Although Taoism and other sects also have spells similar to stand-in puppets, the degree of realism is completely different from the supernatural powers that Chen Ning has mastered.

As long as he wants, the stand-in puppet can not only disguise himself in any form, but even the breath can be completely consistent.

Not to mention water ghosts, I'm afraid even humans will find it difficult to discern the difference.

......

"Stand-in puppets. Taking

out a piece of paper figure, Chen Ning turned it into the appearance of a one-year-old child.

After holding this vivid child in front of Guishui River, he retreated a few hundred meters away with Jingkong and the others.

The puppet baby was conjured up by Chen Ning according to the appearance in the photo when he was a child, with delicate facial features and a pair of big watery eyes, which are extremely cute from any angle.

But the half-snake water ghost really had a strong sense of vigilance as the rumored ones, even if there was no longer the breath of Chen Ning and the others near the riverside, she still did not show up.

For more than ten minutes, there was no movement in the river, as if the water ghost had not noticed the children on the shore at all.

But as time went by, the Guishui River gradually began to look strange.

Not only is there a wave on the surface of the water, but there is also a howling wind sweeping through from time to time.

It seems that there is a pair of eyes buried in the depths, staring at the children on the shore inch by inch.

"Child, such a beautiful child!" Finally

, the half-snake water ghost hiding in the depths of the Guishui River could no longer suppress the desire in his heart.

Dozens of water columns converged towards the air at the same time, condensing into a huge body.

Her lower body is a snake tail, and although her head and upper body are human bodies, the hair on her head has turned into a snake head spitting snake letters.

"Lovely child, how can anyone bear to abandon such a lovely child as you, let me be your mother.

She looked at the puppet baby lying on the shore, and although her eyes radiated a little maternal tenderness, the depths revealed a heart-chilling greed.

She wanted to take the baby for herself, just like the more than a hundred sunken corpses in the deep water!

However, the moment she touched the puppet baby's skin, her expression instantly stiffened.

Even if the appearance and breath are imitated without flaws, the paper puppet is just a puppet after all, and the skin is just a cold and lifeless white paper.

"You lied to me! You're not my child, you've lied to me!" the

half-snake water ghost let out an angry roar, and the snake head on his head also angrily spat out snake letters.

She can't tolerate anyone taking away her own children.

"Dare to deceive me, I'm going to kill you!" "

The giant water claw tore down, screaming to tear the puppet baby to pieces.

"Children don't love when they grow up, you are like this, but you are not worthy of being a competent mother. The

voice came through the curtain of water.

The puppet baby had disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by Chen Ning, who was standing on the surface of the water with a sword!
