There are water ghosts in the Beigang River. Guo Yan and the others knew about it. As early as last year, they had received a commission about people who drowned. At that time, they encountered water ghosts during the investigation.
The water ghost at that time was not a real ghost, but a spirit facing death.
For people in ancient times, the river was a very important resource for survival, and the worship of the river god was inevitable, and the spirit was produced during the stage of worship of the gods. The existence of the spirit can maintain the lives of the local people to a large extent, and even pray for them.
But these are the past tense, modern society, these things are all classified as superstitious category.
The spirit also gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
The spirit of last year does not know that it is still alive today. Water pollution is so serious nowadays, coupled with the fact that people no longer engage in god worship, the spirit has no value for existence. This spirit can survive to this day, and it is also a rare existence.
Lu Tingnan took out the incense stick from his backpack, ignited it and inserted it in the crack of the stone, chanting a few spells in his mouth, and there was a wave of waves in the river under the bridge.
It seems that He Ling is still there.
The waves faded away, and a bright head appeared in the middle of the river, with a pale face, looking like a ghost. It looked at Lu Tingnan's eyes very badly, as if to eat people.
It floated out of the river, showing only its head, and asked coldly, "What are you looking for me?"
"Just want to ask you, have you seen him?"
Guo Yan pointed at Fei Yi and asked.
Fei Yi was really taken aback when he saw Guo Yan talking to the river channel suddenly, and saw that the other person was pointing at himself, a little confused. Who was he talking to? Could it be that there is something in the river? He stared at the river for a few moments, but there was nothing.
"Who are you... talking to?"
Guo Yan ignored Fei Yi's inquiry.
He Ling in the river glanced at Fei Yi and shook his head.
"I haven't seen it before? He came here with his classmates a few years ago to worship the hand, or ask the water ghosts in the water to see if they have seen it."
"Wait." He Ling didn't refuse Guo Yan's proposal, and slowly sank into the water.
Fei Yi asked curiously: "What were you talking to just now? There won't really be anything in the river, right?"
Guo Yan smiled, "I think it's better for you to not know."
Fei Yi swallowed and looked into the river curiously, but didn't see anything in the fart.
Three minutes later, Ha Ling resurfaced and said: "An old guy said that he and his friend had been seen ten years ago. At that time, the two of them were worshipping here, and the old guy also blessed them."
An old ghost blessed the two of them for their act of worshipping the handle? Isn't this nonsense! A ghost’s blessing has a hairy use, you treat yourself as a god.
"Let the old ghost come out."
Guo Yan was speechless, it is very likely that Gu Shenyuan's situation was caused by this old ghost's blessing.
Some ghosts may not have any malice, and they may bless them when they see beautiful things, but ghosts are ghosts after all. Even if they are blessed, there are only two results. One is invalid, just a silent blessing, and then nothing happens. happen.
The other kind is a bit scary. For example, a ghost blessed a newlyweds, wishing them to live together for a hundred years. The result is often the opposite of the blessing. It is very likely that the newlyweds will be in a few days. The quarrel is endless.
The blessings of ghosts generally do not end well, just like never taking things that ghosts hand you.
The old ghost appeared next to He Ling a short while later. The old ghost had a skull face and a lot of hair was sparsely left on his head.
Guo Yan asked, "Old ghost, did you really meet him ten years ago?"
The old ghost glanced at Fei Yi, his chin clicked, as if he was talking.
"Speaking of people!" Guo Yan said speechlessly.
He Ling translated, "He said he did meet him, it was him who came ten years ago, and there was another person."
"So when the two of them worshipped the handle, you blessed them?"
Click it, click it.
"he said yes."
Guo Yan frowned, "What kind of blessing? Is it a substantive blessing, or a silent blessing in his heart?"
Click, click...
He Ling listened for a while before translating: "It is a substantive blessing, but he said that he had no malice. He said that he had a brother who worshipped like this before he died. He felt this kind of brotherhood. It's rare, so I blessed them."
Guo Yan patted his forehead and asked, "Could you not know that the blessing of ghosts will have the opposite effect on people?"
The old ghost opened his mouth wide in surprise, his chin almost fell into the river, he clicked it several times.
He Ling said: "He said he didn't know this. He only thought about blessings at the time. He said that he can still feel the existence of blessings. If possible, he can now withdraw the original blessings."
"The blessing is still there?" Guo Yan was surprised.
"Well, it's still there." He Ling seemed to see it too.
"Then quickly remove it."
The old ghost stretched out his fingers with only bones, and pointed at Fei Yi on the edge of the river. Guo Yan saw that Fei Yi's body had a strange aura escaped and returned to the old ghost's body.
The old ghost's jaw moved, and he clicked a few times.
He Ling explained: "He has said that the blessing has been withdrawn."
Guo Yan knew that the other party didn't lie. After all, he could see clearly the situation just now, and something had indeed disappeared from Fei Yi's body. Now that the blessing is gone, Gu Shenyuan should be able to come out of Fei Yi's body.
But before doing this, Guo Yan has to confirm something.
After He Ling and the old ghost left, the three returned to the bridge.
Fei Yi felt that what happened just now was a bit inexplicable, but he didn't ask too much in the mind of not causing trouble.
Guo Yan lit a cigarette and handed Fei a cigarette by the way, and asked, "How is your relationship with Gu Shenyuan after graduating from high school?"
Fei Yi was very surprised and didn't expect the other party to ask about it.
"The relationship, in general, is mainly because I went to university. I was far away from the school he reported to, and I didn’t usually have the opportunity to communicate with each other. So the relationship faded a little bit. Later, after graduating from university and returning to Tongzhou, it was. I have contacted him a few times, but since then I have nothing to chat with him, and I don’t know why. I always feel that the relationship is much weaker than before."
"Sure enough." Guo Yan said subconsciously. The relationship between Fei Yi and Gu Shenyuan weakened, probably because of the blessing of this old ghost.
"What is it?" Fei Yi was puzzled.
Guo Yan said: "Nothing. When Gu Shenyuan comes out tonight, we should be able to help you solve it. Then Gu Shenyuan will reincarnate and you can return to your normal life."
"Really!" Fei Yi was surprised.
"Um."
