Chapter 13: Underwater Corpse The sun is shining in the sky and the yang energy is strong. Beside Xiaoyun River and Baishi Bridge, Zhang Jiuyang and the master stood side by side. "My Yin-seeking disk shows that this is the place with the heaviest Yin energy. It seems that you are right. This Baishi Bridge is not simple. I guess the body of the female ghost should be under the bridge, so she often appears here!" The expert put away the compass and looked at the river with a serious look. Although it was noon and the sun was scorching, the waters near Baishi Bridge still had an inexplicable chill. Looking down, the sunlight could only penetrate a few feet into the water surface, and it was pitch black below. "If we want to completely destroy her, we must first find her body, bring it back to shore, and burn it with true fire. In this way, even if she has ten lives, she will definitely disappear into thin air!" Hit the snake seven inches. For ghosts, the corpse is actually a vital weapon. Even if it becomes a monster, once the corpse is burned, its soul will inevitably be scattered. Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "Brother Gao, what you said makes a lot of sense. There is only one thing I don't understand." After a pause, he pointed at his nose and asked, "Why was it me who went into the water to retrieve the body instead of you?"

"Of course, I'm not afraid, but the water is relatively cold." He looked at the master with a fake smile, his eyes even more sinister than those of a female ghost. Damn it, I agreed to kill that female ghost, but I didn't agree to do a job like underwater corpse recovery, which sounds like I would be cannon fodder! Is it a meat bun to hit a dog? The master smiled bitterly and said, "I would like to go into the water, but can you protect me on the shore?" Zhang Jiuyang was stunned. "I have a spell that can help you restrain her and control the situation on the shore in an emergency. I will not let you go into the water without any preparation." A look of pain appeared in the master's eyes, and he took out two things. It is also a small blue bead, only the size of a thumb, crystal clear, with a wave-like luster rippling in the sun, very beautiful. "This is a water-repellent bead, mixed with the inner elixir powder of the East China Sea mermaids. If you hold it in your mouth, you can breathe freely underwater." Zhang Jiuyang's eyes lit up. In his previous life, he had heard about the rumors about mermaids. The so-called mermaids were mermaids who lived at the bottom of the sea and whose tears could turn into pearls. This world indeed hides many extraordinary powers. Zhang Jiuyang felt that a bizarre and magical world was slowly opening up to him. "And this string of Buddhist beads. Wear it on your hand first. When you find Yunniang's body underwater, put it on her wrist. It can suppress her for a while." After a pause, the master couldn't help but give a warning. "This is a treasured item from a high-ranking monk at Baiyun Temple. He has worn it for more than 30 years. It contains Buddhist power and is considered extremely precious among all the instruments." "Ahem, anyway...be careful, it's quite expensive...you have to pay it back." Zhang Jiuyang put the Buddhist beads on his hand, and immediately felt a warm power surging into his body, like a breeze on his face, or like the warm sun in winter. What a baby! Zhang Jiuyang walked to the water's edge and took off his shirt. His body in the sun showed smooth muscles, distinct abdominal muscles, and was full of masculine beauty. The master tied a special black rope around his waist and tied the other end to a willow tree on the shore.

The rope was long enough for Zhang Jiuyang to dive to the bottom of the water. "This is a special rope made by my Imperial Observatory. It is very tough and is specially used to tie up monsters. No matter what happens later, I will pull you up immediately after this incense burns out!" The master took out the incense burner, inserted a stick of incense, and lit it. As a wisp of smoke rose, Zhang Jiuyang knew that he was going to have to put an end to the female ghost once and for all. He remembered Aunt Wang's desperate and collapsed look before she died, and remembered Ali's sweet smile when he passed by the steamed bun shop every day, and the steamed buns wrapped in oil paper that were given to him for free. Damn, free is the most expensive! Zhang Jiuyang took a deep breath, put the water-repellent bead in his mouth, and then suddenly jumped into the water. … Pfft! It was midsummer, but the water in Xiaoyun River was icy cold. If Zhang Jiuyang had not been so strong and energetic, he would have had calf cramps. Time was running out, so he dived quickly. wow~ There was the sound of flowing water in my ears, and the light became dimmer and dimmer, until finally there was total darkness all around, as if I was exiled to another world. There was a frightening silence. Fortunately, Zhang Jiuyang has special eyes and can see clearly even in the dark. At the beginning, you could still vaguely see the silhouettes of fish, but as you dive deeper, soon not even a single fish could be seen. The water-repellent beads were very magical. Zhang Jiuyang did not feel like he was holding his breath at all. All the pores on his body opened up, allowing him to take in a whiff of air from the water. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped swimming. wrong! Xiaoyun River is not that deep, how is it possible that there is no bottom yet? Ghost hits the wall! Zhang Jiuyang reacted instantly and realized that he had encountered a mysterious wall underwater. It seemed that he had been swimming around in the same place just now. At the same time, he also realized that Yunniang's body was indeed under the Baishi Bridge! The other party obviously didn't want him to touch his vital points, so he tried every means to cast a spell to block it. The experts said that it was noon now, the Yang energy was strong, and the power of the ghosts was greatly weakened. But even so, Yunniang was able to make him, who had cultivated magical powers, fall into the illusion without knowing it. What a ferocious ghost! A sneer appeared on Zhang Jiuyang's face. He formed a magic seal with his hands and silently recited Zhong Kui's ghost-killing spell in his heart. In an instant, a majestic aura rose from his body, and under the pitch-black water, his eyes actually glowed with a faint divine light, like two fireflies. The surrounding water flow suddenly began to twist, and finally returned to calm with a splash. Zhang Jiuyang released the seal, and the darkness in front of him was no longer there. Looking up, he could vaguely see the figure of the master on the shore. It turned out that he had not dived very far. Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly, feeling more confident. Zhong Kui's Ghost Killing Curse was put to the test for the first time, and the effect was amazing. It is worthy of being the magical power for killing ghosts passed down by the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui! He continued to dive, and this time he reached the bottom of the water soon. The mud was very soft and the water plants easily entangled his feet. Fortunately, he could breathe underwater, otherwise he would have suffocated to death sooner or later. Looking around, I could vaguely see a white bridge pile in front of me. Zhang Jiuyang suddenly remembered that when he swallowed the ghost eye, he experienced the scene of the female ghost falling into the river from her memory. At that time, it seemed that he saw a white bridge underwater. It seems that Yunniang’s body is just ahead! Zhang Jiuyang was cheered up. He had a premonition that he was about to see the truth of this water ghost murder case. Yunniang's burial place must be hiding a major secret.

But just as he was about to swim over, several pale arms suddenly stretched out from under the mud and grabbed his feet. When Zhang Jiuyang lowered his head, he met a pair of rotten eyes. There were actually corpses buried in the mud! What's even more bizarre is that at this moment, these corpses all started moving, grabbing Zhang Jiuyang's feet tightly, and even trying to climb up. However, before Zhang Jiuyang could perform the Zhong Kui Ghost Killing Curse, a warm and mellow power came from the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and there seemed to be Buddhist sounds ringing in his ears. In an instant, those who were holding his body loosened their hands as if they were on fire. Zhang Jiuyang swam forward quickly and finally saw the white bridge pile clearly. The next moment, his pupils shocked and a chill ran down his spine. The white bridge piles at the bottom of the water had become bumpy, and a skeleton was faintly visible in the bridge. The flesh and blood had already rotted away, and from the size of the body, it looked like a child. Yunniang's body was lying under the small skeleton. Even though she had been dead for many years, she still stretched out one arm, as if she wanted to touch the cheek of the skeleton. …… (End of this chapter)
