I Can’t Be a Sword God

When the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the mountains, the sound of the flute of the shepherd boy returning late sounds.

Li Chu stood up from the futon as usual, moved his body, and straightened the folds of his robe.

Another day when no pilgrims came to visit.

From this day until now, Li Chu's spirit and body are completely his own, and he has become a truly free person.

In other words, he is off work.

Although he did nothing all day.

The life of a little Taoist priest is so plain and boring.

He turned back to the backyard and started preparing dinner.

After the master and apprentice had dinner, he got up and said to Yu Qi'an: "Master, this disciple wants to go out for a while."

Yu Qi'an nodded lightly: "Be careful."

"yes."

After saying hello, Li Chu walked out of the gate.

This time I went out a little earlier than usual, it was still dark, and the ghosts from Shilipo hadn't come out yet. The direction he was going was also different from before.

He was walking towards the river.

Yuhang Town is close to the mouth of the East China Sea, surrounded by many river systems, including the Heishui River.

Among the surrounding rivers, the Heishui River is not outstanding in width and depth, but it is quite special, and no one has ever dared to approach it.

Because there are water ghosts in the river.

In fact, there are legends of water ghosts in all major rivers, but this one in Heishuijiang is particularly powerful.

It is said that because of the huge flood more than a hundred years ago, many people died in the Heishui River. This water ghost sucked many ghosts, and it rose to a very high level.

If other places are haunted by water ghosts, at most they should not enter the water. As for the Heishui River, even if you stand on the shore, you may be fascinated just by looking at the river.

Over time, the entire banks of the Heishui River became forbidden areas.

It had been a long time since no one had had an accident, but last year someone’s kid didn’t like it and ran to the river to play, only to be fascinated by water ghosts.

It happened that Brother Niu from the next village saw it, and couldn't bear it for a while, so he went into the water to rescue him.

Brother Niu is a good sailor who goes fishing all the year round. Even with his hands and feet tied, he can flop faster than fish.

But after he pushed the child up, he didn't come up.

Moreover, after Niu Erge's death, his body was as heavy as a rock, sinking into the middle of the river and unable to float up, no one dared to salvage his body.

Brother Niu's family had nowhere to ask, so they had to listen to the villagers' advice and invited Taoist priests to build a shrine and sincerely worship the water ghosts in the river.

Only then did the water ghost let the corpse float to the surface, and the second brother Niu was able to rest in the ground.

So overbearing!

Li Chu traveled through before this sacrifice, so this water ghost left a deep impression on him.

Or rather, a bad impression.

At that time, some people also asked why the cultivator was not invited to kill the water ghost. The old people in the village said that they had been invited in the early years.

But this water ghost has already become a climate, and its Taoism is very high. Ordinary cultivators will die when they come, and those with higher cultivation bases can't do anything about it.

Because it has almost merged with the Heishui River, it can come and go freely in the river, invisible and traceless, how to eliminate it?

Unless someone is really capable, but such a person, it is impossible for a small fishing village to invite them.

We can only wait for a few more decades, maybe it will become the river god of the Heishui River, and there will be no need to harm people by then.

But Li Chu felt that this was unreasonable.

Brother Niu is undoubtedly a good man.

This water ghost is undoubtedly an evil ghost.

Then why do evil spirits still have a chance to complete their merits and virtues after killing people, but good people have to be threatened with corpses even after death?

This incident made him feel a little angry.

The master said that everyone has his own destiny.

But he felt that the fate of a good person should not be like this.

The fate of evil spirits should not be like this.

So he kept it in his heart, including the anger.

After reaching level 71 last night, he immediately wanted to come here for a walk.

The riverside is full of red flowers, willows and green, lush grass, and warblers flying and dancing in it. It is a beautiful scene in the sunset.

Li Chu walked along the scene.

So the picture is even more beautiful.

As he walked, he felt a cool breeze blowing from the river, causing ripples in the water.

He turned his head to look at the river.

But what he saw was not a handsome face.

On the contrary, what is reflected in the water is a big face with blue face and fangs, ferocious, terrifying and ugly.

Li Chu smiled slightly.

Finally you are here.

Before he laughed, the ghost in the water smiled, it was a greedy grin.

One person and one ghost, smiling at each other.

Immediately, the scene in Li Chu's eyes changed.

Under the water is no longer a ghost face, but a pile of golden gold, just within reach, as if you can pick up the priceless property just by bending down!

He didn't move.

As soon as the light and shadow turned, another dragon chair appeared under the water, and a large jade seal was placed on the dragon chair. There was a voice in his ear telling him, sit on that seat, and the whole world will be yours.

He still didn't move.

The light and shadow changed again, this time they turned into a group of beauties. They are all as beautiful as flowers and jade, but they refuse to dress properly. This one shows a touch of breasts, the other shows two long legs, and the deeper part is looming. It seemed that as long as one stretched out his hand, the thin gauze skirt could be torn off.

Li Chu finally moved.

He pulled out the iron sword behind him and swung it forward.

laugh--

The tip of the sword pierced the air.

Immediately afterwards, the flowing river stagnated.

boom--

Against the current of the river!

Suddenly, the river that had been flowing slowly was cut off in the middle! In an instant, water walls several feet high were erected on both sides! And it soared at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At the place where he swung his sword, a vacuum zone nearly ten feet wide appeared, exposing the dry and messy riverbed in an instant. Many unlucky swimming fish suddenly appeared in the air from the water, their eyes widened.

His eyes were full of doubt and innocence.

On this river bed, there is also a green and empty shadow exposed, which is the true body of the water ghost. As time went on, he had lost his human form, but his eyes were still vaguely recognizable.

The emotion in its eyes is not too different from that of a fish.

But the intelligence of the water ghost is still stronger than that of the fish. In addition to widening its eyes, it also produced a series of rapid mental activities.

This is your horse...

What is it……

Fairy?

Shui Gui looked up at the handsome young man on the shore who waved his sword casually, feeling a little dazed.

He held up the water?

No……

He cut off Jiang!

In this way, he forced himself out of the river water!

This kid is coming for me!

Not going to talk? Why?

etc!

danger!

That's right, Li Chu came for him. He thought about the meal time before he came up with this method.

Since you can come and go freely in the river, invisible and without trace, then I will cut off the river first.

The water ghost has no water, what is it?

ghost?

No.

It's a ghost!

Li Chu raised his hand slightly, and the second sword fell.

laugh--

The shattered shadow suddenly shattered, carrying his great dream of more than a hundred years of Taoism and becoming a river god, and was washed away by the heavily falling water of the great river.

His ghostly last thought was only two words.

play tricks...

Li Chu put away his sword indifferently and put it back into its sheath.

Cut the river with one sword.

Kill ghosts with one sword.

There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with a sword.

If so, then two swords.

In the blink of an eye, the fish in the air returned to the bottom of the water. This short gap is not even long enough for them to decide whether they are birds or fish. But it doesn't matter, after seven seconds, they will forget about this thrilling journey.

A burst of intense white light melted into his body, and Li Chu let out a long breath. As expected of a century-old water ghost, the experience points given are really a lot.

However, the reward was equal to the risk, and it was also the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation—if the water ghost's illusion was a thousand times stronger, it might really fascinate him.

Thinking of this, Li Chu couldn't help feeling a little scared.
