Pork Butcher - C89
Rain began to fall one by one, forming ripples on the surface of the water and spreading out slowly.
I looked at the dark clouds above us. They weren’t thick, but my heart was sinking. Isn’t this all done by that water ghost? If we were lucky, we would have a chance of survival.
“We might have to die here,” I looked back at Sun Yong, swallowing my saliva. Everyone is afraid of death, I am no exception, I have only been cultivating for less than a month, I have only just entered the cultivation realm, I do not want to die at all.
Sun Yong pouted, but he did not say a word, his pale expression was enough to explain everything, but how could he want to die?
“Let’s try it again. I can’t force it to the point that I can control the weather. If it’s like this, then even the Mage from last time won’t be able to survive. This has already reached the legendary state!”
Using a technique to control the Celestial Phenomenon is something out of the legends. I have never seen such a powerful person before, and even with Uncle’s experience, he has never seen one with such power. Therefore, no matter how powerful the water ghost is, it can’t be that powerful.
“I know that the water source in the reservoir area is rich, and now that it’s summer, it’s very easy to form a lightning shower. That water ghost is very easy to control due to its advantage, but that’s a water ghost, other than being possessed by a big catfish, the entire water source in the reservoir is the medium for her to travel back and forth. We lost,” Sun Yong said with a wry smile.
Even if the rain wasn’t caused by the water ghost, what difference did it make? In the island in the center of the lake, we are just fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered by the water ghost.
“Masters, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand you?” The Village Head recovered his breath and asked us.
“Village head, I’m sorry, this time we might have failed,” Sun Yong apologized to the village head.
“Ah! Masters, this … how could this be okay? If we don’t get rid of the water ghost, what would happen to our village?” The Village Chief cried out in alarm.
“Forget about the village. Let’s think about what we should do. We’re going to die soon!” I couldn’t help but yell. It’s not like we didn’t want to help you on purpose, but now we’re going to die here.
“Master, master, what’s going on? Think of a way!” The Village Chief was on the verge of tears. Although he had carried his death wish with him, wasn’t he trying to kill the big catfish? Why was he doing this?
“Everything is gone, there is only a bell left, Peach Wood Sword, Eight Trigrams Mirror, pui, the Eight Trigrams Mirror is useless now, all of it is water, we can’t even shoot it out, how do we play with it?” I went to collect the magical equipment, but most of them were useless, especially the talismans, they were all wet, and most of our arcane skills relied on the talismans to be the primer.
“The water surface has changed, be careful!” Suddenly, Sun Yong bellowed.
I turned my head to look and was immediately shocked, because I saw that the water surface seemed to be boiling and bubbling, and I also saw the school of fish quickly distancing themselves. Not long after, the bubbling area grew larger and larger, and a head slowly popped out.
“Ahh, Bighead, it’s you!” At this moment, the village chief shouted loudly. His entire body was trembling nonstop and even his teeth were trembling nonstop.
We immediately asked who it was, and the village chief explained that it was a person who had drowned in this reservoir. His name was Big Teeth, and when he went out to work a few years ago, he went to the reservoir to take a bath because of the hot weather.
Sun Yong and I were extremely shocked, when we looked at the big tooth once again, it was already standing on the surface of the water. Its face was jet-black, and its body was swollen and swollen, just like when it was drowning.
“Little soldier, you’re a little soldier!”
“Ah, you’re Allen …”
“Little Ye, you, you …”
Soon, the bubbles on the surface of the water began to appear one by one. The village chief recognized each one of them and called out their names. In the end, the village chief’s tongue had curled up and he was unable to say a single word.
“Bang!” Sun Yong could not bear it anymore, he used his hand to cut the village head’s neck, knocking him out. Then he took off one of the protective talismans and placed it on the village head’s body, covering him with his backpack to prevent him from getting wet.
“Zhou Yang, how about we go all out? You can still recite the incantation” Sun Yong recovered his calm face and said to me.
I slightly nodded my head. The《 Supreme Ghost Reposition Curse》 is a technique used to dispel disasters and pray for blessings, it is used for large scale magic, and the object of exorcism is given to a few burial grounds or to be used after the battlefield ends. To put it simply, ordinary spells are used to fight against one person, and this technique is used for group attacks, so the more people use it as a method of group attacks, the better it is.
And now, it’s just the two of us, who knows what we can do.
However, when I looked at the surroundings of the island, I saw that the number of people who had died was still increasing. These may not be real ghosts, but the water ghosts are borrowing their resentment.
I found a tree branch and drew a taiji pattern on the empty ground. The yin yang fish were in our position, so Sun Yong and I sat down.
“May the five great emperors behead the hundred thousand Great Generals of the Ghost Slaying General. The main objective is to unite and work together with a certain family and to subdue the evil spirits that live in the houses of Zhongliu Mo in the village.”
Ghost of the corpse’s execution …
“A second solo singing ghost …”
Repeated incantations were chanted from our mouths. The effects of the incantations exploded in the crowd, as if a string of firecrackers had been thrown into the flock of sheep. The flock of sheep exploded, and then continued to rush towards us.
Those people would rush onto us and disappear, but soon, another one would appear on the surface of the water, and every time they charged, my head would hurt a little, and I could hear the wails and howls of ghosts all around me. There were women begging for tears, children crying, old people moaning in grief, and all sorts of sounds that made me feel as if my head was pierced by needles.
But I didn’t dare stop. No matter how much it hurt, I had to keep on chanting, and that was our only chance, if it stopped, it would be death, all the way to death, all the way to the end, until my voice cracked and I couldn’t speak, and I felt as tired as if I’d run a marathon, and then I closed my eyes and lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the bed, trying to move, but my body felt like it was in disarray and my whole body ached.
“Zhou Yang, you’re awake!” Seeing me open my eyes, Su Zhi shouted loudly.
I took a deep breath, and tried my best to get up a little. Then, I saw Su Zhi holding a bowl in her hand, and looked at me happily.
“How long did I sleep?” I asked Su Zhi.
“Two days, an entire two days.” Su Zhi hurriedly came over and helped me sit up, then answered.
“It’s been two days. How did you save us for so long?” I asked. I had already seen Sun Yong in this room, but he didn’t seem to have woken up yet.
Two days ago, you left the boat to go to the middle of the reservoir, but it started to rain soon after, and then it started to rain, and we couldn’t wait for you to come back, so I called the village officials and found a boat to find you, and then I saw that big catfish in the lake, and there were a lot of dead fish floating in the water, and then you fell down on the island and moved you back. The doctor said that you were fine, just exhausted, but the village chief just came back with a fever and started blabbering, as if he had been frightened.
“Did you just bring us back without encountering anything?” It’s too weird. Logically speaking, since we were at an absolute disadvantage that day, even if we were to chant the “Supreme Dao Repository Ghost God Curse”, we should have only been able to protect ourselves. Afterwards, we lost our consciousness, so it would be extremely dangerous for Su Zhi and the others to save us.
“No, I just saw a lot of dead fish, especially that big catfish. The oldest person in the village said that he had never seen such a thing, the old man said that this reservoir was previously a lake and then converted into a reservoir,” Su Zhi replied.
After listening, I was still confused, unable to understand why.
“Oh yes, many villagers have come over to ask if the fish could be eaten, you know, the people here aren’t rich, so many people want to eat so much fish, if it wasn’t for the fact that you all still haven’t woken up, and haven’t been able to confirm, you all would have already cooked and eaten this much” Su Zhi asked.
“A lot of fish?” I asked.
Then, Su Zhi answered a lot of questions. Just from the dead fish alone, she had scooped up two boats, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
“Don’t eat, the safety is more important. If there’s a problem, we can’t cure it, tell them to dig a hole and bury it, we can’t eat it, we must not eat it, we have to bear the consequences of eating it, that’s right, that big catfish, let them bury it before it, if there’s no accident, there should be something inside it.” I thought about my Second Uncle almost turning into a pig, so I didn’t let them eat it.
“Alright, I will tell them.” Su Zhi ran out.
Not long after, Sun Yong woke up, but he was in an even worse condition, weaker than me. He did not even have the strength to crawl on the bed.
I explained the situation to Sun Yong, who was also full of questions, and couldn’t think of anything, so he said that he would go take a look after we recovered a bit.
After a few hours, Su Zhi ran into the house while covering her mouth with her hands, his face pale white. As soon as she came in, he vomited violently, so much that his face turned green, and only then did she tell us that when the big catfish’s stomach was opened, it actually found the corpse of a person, and it was not just one person, there was even half a child’s corpse and broken limbs. Everyone immediately vomited.
Digging holes, burying fish, and then reorganizing the funeral for a few people, and adding to that the village chief’s illness, not many of us will be able to take care of him anymore.
After resting for a day, under our request, we went to the reservoir again. This time, we were fully equipped, not only are there various types of tools to prevent water from leaking, but we also have weapons to deal with the big catfish.
“Did we kill him or scare him away,” I said to Sun Yong.
Sun Yong naturally did not know anything, the two of them had to deal with it first, if there were any problems, he could tell them later, but he could ask Uncle about the specific problems.
“No one answered the phone call, but Sun Yong’s face darkened as he spoke. After calling a few more calls, and seeing that there was still no answer, Sun Yong could no longer sit still, and immediately left.
