Huang Yicong was so terrified that he couldn't speak. After so many years, the nightmare of his childhood once again enveloped him. Li Xianyu could understand his roommate's fear. It was like when he was secretly rummaging through his sister's underwear in the closet and was caught red-handed. At that time, Li Xianyu was still in elementary school. His fear was no less than Huang Yicong's.
His friend died on the third night. On the fourth morning, his body was found with almost all of his internal organs eaten. The houses in the countryside had almost no concept of soundproofing. His parents in the next room didn't hear anything.
The incident was strange. It was even listed as one of the strange deaths in Chongming.
Huang Yicong, who knew part of the truth, didn't reveal it to anyone. He buried the truth and fear deep in his heart. He studied hard and tried to suppress the strangeness through the core values of socialism. Who would have thought that after more than ten years, that thing would find him.
Li Xianyu returned the thumb ring to Huang Yicong. Huang Yicong shrank back as if he had been electrocuted. He shook his head with a pale face and refused to take it back.
He could only keep the thumb ring for the time being. He played with it and studied it again. If everything happened because of this thing, it must be a good treasure. At least, it wasn't as ordinary as it looked.
Li Xianyu opened the Ancient Demon chat software and described the appearance of the water monkey and Huang Yicong's story in detail to the group.
Vulcan: "Huh, a strong sense of déjà vu. I should know this thing."
The first one to reply was the very experienced Vulcan.
Li Bai: "I'm confused. What kind of monster is this? Only a text description? Salted fish, why don't you use the computer to draw a simple illustration? "
Walking pile driver: "… I know nothing about that kind of thing. I can't even imagine it."
Li Bai: "Useless thing. You might as well hang yourself on the southeast branch."
Walking pile driver: "Li Bai, you want to compete with me in poetry?"
Li Bai: "Goodbye."
At this moment, Vulcan sent a shocked emoji. "Kappa, it's Kappa. I remember now."
Walking pile driver: "What's a Kappa? Is it fierce?"
Vulcan: "Kappa is a relatively docile alien race. They are mainly distributed in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins of China and the coastal areas of Japan. When I was young, Kappa was very common. Kappa was the prototype of a water monkey. Twenty years after the founding of the People's Republic, for some reason, there was a rumor that eating Kappa could enhance one's beauty and vigor. In just a few short years, the Kappa in our country became extinct. It's been thirty years since I last saw Kappa. "
His fingers were very similar to Takashi Kato. "The younger generation has never seen something like Kappa."
Li Bai: "+ 1"
Thunder Zhanhime: "Really? Really? Can Kappa really beautify one's face? [Perverted] "
The Walking Pile Driver: "Can it really nourish the kidneys and boost Yang energy?"
System Notification: [The Walking Pile Driver has retracted a message.]
Walking Pile Driver: "Zhanhime, don't change the topic. Fire God, is Kappa fierce?"
Vulcan: "Kappa are docile and omnivores. They often drown children swimming alone in the water, but that's because they are playful. They don't kill people on purpose. They usually don't eat people, but in your friend's story, they even climbed ashore and ate people … If I'm not wrong, that Kappa should be domesticated, not wild. "
God of Cookery: "Fire God, do you mean that after the extinction of wild Kappa, they have shamefully turned to domestication? I can't wait. [Drooling emoji] "
Fire God: "No, in fact, this is not good news. Wild Kappa are docile, but domesticated ones are different. No one will raise these things for the sake of food, but if they are raised, there must be a purpose. I heard that some families in Japan raise Kappa and train them into retainers. "
King Kong: "Aren't retainers a way to control resentful spirits?"
[Archives Manager] Murphy: "King Kong, you really need to read more books. Is your understanding of Japan only limited to adult novels?"
King Kong: "In fact, I can't recognize Japanese women in clothes."
Walking Pile Driver: "+ 1"
Vulcan: "Some retainers use talismans to control resentful spirits, and some use living creatures as carriers. Kappa is a common retainer in Japan. "
[Archives Manager] Murphy: "I just checked the information. In 2007, there was indeed an incident of an unknown creature eating a person in Chongming. The victim was a child, only ten years old at the time. All his internal organs were eaten, but there was no expression of pain on his face. Instead, he looked very peaceful. The police determined that it was done by an unknown creature and included the case in the mysterious incident file.
"At that time, the law enforcement was still the Buddhist Taoist Association. A monk from the Jingxin Temple in Shanghai was responsible for investigating the case. He immediately determined that the unknown creature was a Kappa. He stayed in Chongming for two days, then followed the river into the sea. After a week of searching, he didn't find any trace of the Kappa. It must have passed by this place by chance and committed the crime out of passion. In the end, the case was left unsettled. "
The finger technique was similar to Takashi Kato. "Now it seems that this was obviously not the so-called murder out of passion. After so many years, the Kappa appeared again. Why did it stare at Salted Fish's friend? Also, the Kappa in our country has been eaten to extinction. The Kappa in the story is more like a retainer. Does this mean that this incident has something to do with the Japanese? "
Thunder Zhanhime: "A walking pile driver. In the story, the Kappa gave the child something. Do you still have that thing? Can you take a picture of it and send it to the group? "
Li Xianyu's gaze fell on the jade ring. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. This thing was probably some kind of Dharma Artifact. It might even be a good thing from Japan.
Any Dharma Artifact would change as long as spiritual energy was injected into it. With this thought in mind, Li Xianyu quietly injected some spiritual energy into the ring. The ring didn't change at all.
Wasn't it a Dharma Artifact?
The ring was obviously an item worn by someone. If it wasn't a Dharma Artifact, it might be a keepsake.
Li Xianyu imagined that someone once wore it and used it as a keepsake to command the world … Oh no, to command the Japanese and control thousands of people. For some strange reason, he put the ring on his thumb.
"Rumble!"
The moment he put on the ring, there seemed to be a thunderous sound in his head, followed by a sudden dizziness. It was a little like the dizziness when he suddenly stood up after squatting for too long.
His five senses and six senses seemed to be far away from him. Li Xianyu felt as if his soul was being pulled out of his body and sunk into endless darkness.
But in the next moment, a bright light suddenly tore open in front of him.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you are slacking again."
A crisp voice like that of an oriole rang in his ears.
Li Xianyu opened his eyes in the warm afternoon sun. Looking around, he realized that he was in an unfamiliar environment. Above him was a hundred-year-old pine tree. Lying on top of a huge rock was a young and handsome Daoist priest. Below the rock was a beautiful girl dressed in a blue Daoist robe with an ebony hairpin in her hair.
He stood on the rock beside the young Taoist priest. Looking up, the mountains and rivers were beautiful and majestic. A Taoist courtyard with green bricks and black tiles was hidden in the shadows of the trees. The sun shone brightly and the birds chirped happily.
"Junior Sister, life is short. Don't disturb the handsome Senior Brother's sleep." The young man turned around and said lazily.
"Senior Martial Brother, it's fine if you slack off during your practice, but today is the gathering day for us Quanzhen disciples to go down the mountain and travel. In another hour, Master will be worried about the other disciples. If he finds out that you've slipped out to sleep, he'll break your legs." The girl put her hands on her hips and complained angrily, "In the past, when the warlords were fighting at the foot of the mountain, Master told us to cultivate in seclusion and not participate. Now that the country and the people are working together to resist the Japanese, it is time for us Taoist disciples to enter the world and help the people. "
"A monk does not care about the mortal world. He lives in seclusion in the mountains and understands nature. Only then can he forget his emotions and become one with nature." The young man was indifferent, "Even if Master was here, I would say the same."
"Then, then …" The girl stamped her feet and said angrily, "Then I will tell Master about the erotic pictures under your bed."
"I lent them to Senior Brother Yuan Qing last month. Go tell him."
"Oh, last year you peeped at Senior Sister Taisu bathing. "Fragrant skin like snow, slowly unraveling the spring light. How much wind and moon. "Tsk tsk, Senior Sister Taisu must not know that Senior Brother Wang Chen is so charming."
"Junior Sister, life is short. How can you waste it in your dreams."
"Hmph, it's too late."
"Hey, Junior Sister, come back. Give me another chance."
The two of them chased each other. Their shadows and voices went far away.
Li Xianyu stood under the pine tree in a daze. He felt that the word "Wang Chen" was very familiar, but he could not remember it.
He had experienced this strange memory reversal once. Because he had further interacted with Great-grandmother, he saw some of the past. Was the scene in front of him also from Great-grandmother's memory?
The war between the warlords, the country and the people resisting the Japanese. This should be the Republic Era.
If it was Great-grandmother's memory, could this young Taoist be his ancestor?
However, Li Xianyu quickly realized that something was wrong. First, he did not see Great-grandmother. Obviously, it could not be Great-grandmother's memory. Secondly, according to the timeline, the Li family's descendant in this life should be the one at the peak.
That's right, if it was not a woman, then it was a woman's path.
That ancestor took care of thousands of chickens every day. How could he have the time to become a Taoist?
Quanzhen, Wang Chen.
Quanzhen, Wang Chen …
Republic Era …
