At noon the next day, by the Wujiang Gorge.
It was mid-June, the sun was scorching hot, and the weather was unusually hot.
On the top of a towering stone peak on the right side of the river, between the bluestones that stretched out, Wang Yan sat like a pine, looking down at everything below.
His Taoist robe is not thick, but it is not thin, but in the face of such hot weather, he did not even sweat a drop, which is really miraculous.
He came here early, just to save the next life.
Wang Yan had already dispelled the ghostly energy in Xu Saburo's body. As long as the water ghost didn't come to him again, there would be no more problems in the future.
Regarding the water ghost substitute, Wang Yan didn't say it directly last night. After all, it was about whether he could be reincarnated or not. Stopping the ghost's reincarnation was like killing a parent. The troubles that should be avoided should always be avoided.
As long as he secretly lends a helping hand to prevent that person from dying, as for the future, he can't control it, and he can't control it.
Although this one is saved, there may be another person who will die here and become Wang Liulang's substitute, but that is under the circumstances of his ignorance. Now that he knows, he must control it.
As the saying goes: saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda!
It was now three quarters of noon, everything was normal, no one crossed the river, but a person appeared on the bank opposite Wang Yan, which immediately caught his attention. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the fisherman Xu Saburo.
He also came to have a look because of Wang Liulang's stand-in.
"Huhuhu..."
Waiting like this until six quarters of noon, on the river in the distance, the shadow of a sailboat appeared faintly, the giant sail was facing the wind, and the sound of hunting.
The scale of this sailboat is extremely large. The white sails are unfolded. It is a passenger ship. Wang Yan can't help but feel a little strange as he watches.
Because this sailboat was the one he took yesterday.
It stands to reason that they should have left early this morning, but why did they wait until noon to arrive here, and I don't know what happened.
But these are not what he should worry about. What he cares about is the woman who is about to become a water ghost substitute. It's just that according to what Wang Liulang said last night, the boat his substitute was riding on would capsize in the middle of the river.
And such a big sailboat in front of me is stable and stable when driving. I don’t know how many times I have walked this road along the river, and I can even pass the middle of the most turbulent Wujiang Gorge. How could it capsize here
Doubts turned into doubts, but Wang Yan still did not dare to be careless.
He always pays attention to the movement of the sailboat and is ready to take action at any time.
Because the sailboat was traveling along the current, and the wind helped the boat, the speed was not very fast. In a blink of an eye, it had already reached Wang Yan.
Wang Yan was condescending, watching the sailboat pass by, and calmed down. It seemed that there was obviously no substitute for Wang Liulang on this sailboat.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a loud noise came, and the originally calm river surface exploded for no reason, causing thousands of waves, and water columns splashed around.
At the same time, almost at the moment when the loud noise just happened, Wang Yan suddenly sensed an extremely strong abnormal aura.
Looking around, I saw not far behind, where the sailboat was at the moment, a turbulent wave, the powerful waves caused by the explosion, directly pushed the sailboat to the left side of the rocky mountain, and the sailboat was shaky after a collision.
The rocks rolled down, the mast was broken, the sails collapsed, and at the same time, the hull on the left was knocked out of a big hole, and rivers streamed in.
Directly in front of the sailboat, a water monkey with a body taller than the sailboat, covered with black hair and a red face, was directly blocked between the two mountains.
He opened his bloody mouth and roared, and the river surface exploded.
"Water demon, it's a water demon! Everyone, run away!"
"Help! I don't want to die yet!"
"The boat is about to capsize, big guy, jump into the water and escape!"
…
The people on the sailboat suddenly changed, and when they saw such a huge monster blocking the front, they were frightened and screamed.
In a hurry, some people jumped directly into the river.
In the front and middle part of Wujiang Gorge, the water depth is fifteen to sixty feet deep, and there are mountains on both sides, and the distance between them is not very wide.
Estimated, it will be seven or eight feet at most.
Coupled with the relatively gentle water, there is still great hope for jumping off and swimming to the shore, which is why those people are so bold.
Most of the water monkey's body is immersed in the water, and its muscles are knotted all over its body, like a giant giant ape, and a strong demonic energy permeates the body.
The water potential in the center of Wujiang Gorge is exactly level with his chest. If he can step on the bottom, then his height can be imagined.
But to be honest, Wang Yan has never seen a demon of fifteen or sixty feet long, and looking at his figure, it is the size of a sailboat, which obviously does not match his height, and the demonic aura on his body is even more incompatible. .
But then again, the water monkey is very good at water, moves in the water like walking on the ground, then the only explanation is that he is suspended in the water.
The moment he saw this water monkey, Wang Yan instantly thought of the one from last night, how similar the two were.
The only difference is the one in front of him, that is truly a monster, and his morality is not low, there is no doubt about that.
If the water monkey yesterday was not good enough, the demonic energy was not obvious, and Wang Yan couldn't sense it beforehand, he could still make sense.
But on this side of today, the demonic energy is so strong, if it had been entrenched here long ago, more or less, he would have been able to perceive it.
But it wasn't until just now that the demon openly appeared to do evil, and he sensed it, which was enough to conclude that the water demon should have just arrived.
He wants to save a person's life, let alone a boatload of people
As soon as the water demon appeared, Wang Yan's entire body bounced up instantly, and a faint golden light filled his body, just like an arrow from the string, rushing over quickly, with a flick of the dust in his hand, a burst of vitality was shot first.
"The evildoer is so mad, and the poor way is here, An dare to do evil?"
A rebuke, the sound is like thunder, very deterrent.
"boom… "
The water demon was unprepared, but when he saw a golden light coming, his reaction was extremely fast, he raised his hand to block it, and directly blocked the golden light.
With a sound of explosion, the water demon has rough skin and thick flesh, and its defense is amazing. Wang Yan's attack hit him without pain or itching, and did no harm.
The water demon found Wang Yan and seemed to understand something. His eyes widened, his teeth grinned, and there was a roar in the direction of Wang Yan.
Ignoring the sailboat, the water demon waved its palms with great momentum, and immediately shot at Wang Yan, as if he had some deep hatred with him, vowing to crush him into pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
