The cicadas sing lightly, and the shadows of the trees are lingering.

Shigang Village is a small village at the mouth of Ziwu Valley.

The village is surrounded by mountains and is located in a small valley. Only one side carved out a winding path leading to the outside world.

Chen Budu called He Taixu, who had just recovered from his wounds, and came with Mingyue to explore the suspected haunted village.

“Where did the villagers you met live at that time?”

Mingyue thought about it a little, glanced at the village, and pointed to a family near the well.

“Tu tu tu tu tu ~”

He Taixu went up and knocked on the door, and the door opened with a creaking sound. A haggard peasant woman opened the door. She was obviously a little malnourished and was a little distorted.

The peasant woman rubbed her rough hands crampedly and asked, "Are you guys doing anything?"

"Does this sister still remember me?"

The peasant woman's eyes were a little red and swollen. Her eyes flashed with hesitation. She asked in disbelief: "You, are you the immortal master who passed by before?"

"It's me."

The peasant woman looked very excited and subconsciously wanted to hold Mingyue's hand, but looking at her rough and dirty hands, she immediately shrank back.

Mingyue noticed this little move. In order not to make the peasant woman look embarrassed, she took the initiative to ask: "Is the baby at home better? "

"It's better, better. I'll ask the immortal master to cut the pills into fine cutting, and take them with water for a few days. The skin will not continue to ulcerate."

"I brought a monk, let's go in and take a look."

The peasant woman moved away from her body blocking the door and took a few people in.

There is no oil lamp in the house, and it is also in the valley. Even in summer, it feels a bit gloomy.

Chen Budu simply looked around the peasant woman's home, a stove made of stones, and a broken iron pot, wooden bed, and straw mat that had been repaired many times. All the details showed that this home was not rich, and it could even be said to be extremely poor.

A small figure shrank on the wooden bed. Mingyue used magic to make light. Chen Budu saw clearly that this was a skinny little boy with most of his body festering and foul smell.

The peasant woman used a barely polished knife to carry her son's rotten flesh and fanned the palm-leaf fan to drive away the flies and insects coming from the smell, but the little boy was unconscious.

The little boy's breath was very weak, and only the slight ups and downs in his chest showed that he was still living tenaciously.

"Plop!"

The peasant woman suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to the people, and said wailingly: "Several Immortal Masters, please save my son!"

Chen Budu helped her up. As the most skilled in medicine among the few, he was quite helpless about the situation in front of him.

The body of a mortal cannot bear the infusion of his spiritual energy at all, and the ordinary elixir of curing diseases, Mingyue has already given it, so it can only curb the ulcer.

It is certain that by looking, smelling, cutting, sinking and not sank. This is not a simple skin disease or infection, and the situation involved is very complicated.

"Tell me about the specific situation, how did I get the disease?"

"The wells in our village have a bad taste and are rustic. They have been haunted before. Usually, people don't need to go to the streams in the mountains to get water. Recently, there was a turmoil in the south of the mountain (Hanzhong Mansion), and many people ran over. The streams in the mountains even drifted down the corpses of many people and monsters. They did not go to the streams to get water. The village did not allow people to enter the mountains again. Instead, they discussed going east together to avoid the branches of the same tribe in Lantian County."

"But before leaving, my son and a few dolls in the village went to the tree hole next to the stream to dig the toys they hid. There was a baby who didn't know the importance of it. The adults refused to let him enter the mountain or drink the stream water. He insisted on competing with whom he was more courageous. The children all drank the stream water, and soon after they got home, they coughed up blood and died of more than two people. The villagers were so scared that they didn't dare to move."

Mingyue suddenly asked, "But when I came, I saw that the whole village was empty."

A bitter smile appeared on the peasant woman's face.

"Originally, my child was about to die, and he couldn't hold on to the immortal master. That night, I was desperate. I remembered the story told by the old man in the village, so I went to the well to drown the old hen at home. It was strange that the well water boiled. Then I took a bowl and fed it to the baby. The baby stopped coughing up blood, but his body began to ulcerate. The people in the village were frightened and said that they didn't dare to stay any longer. They picked up the village and went to Lantian County."

Chen Budu concluded: "So, the symptom of drinking stream water is coughing up blood. You drink well water for the baby and stop coughing up blood, but the skin begins to ulcerate."

The peasant woman nodded sadly, Shen Buduodu applied medicine to the child, and then performed acupuncture, saying to He Taixu.

"You stay here, the little monk and Mingyue go to the village to have a look."

He Taixu nodded. He was a miserable person on the Weibei Plateau and was quite sympathetic to the experience of the mother and son.

When I arrived in the village, the well was covered with dust, and the mouth of the well was sealed by a huge stone mill. It was obviously done by the villagers before they left.

There was a wild dog's body next to the well, as if it was burned, and its fur became scarred and leprosy.

Chen Budu had a simple check and the symptoms were very similar to those of the little boy.

He asked Mingyue to retreat slightly and smashed hundreds of kilograms of stone mill with one punch. Then, this suspected haunted well appeared in front of them.

"Things from the well, come out."

The well did not respond.

It was neither too heavy nor too slow, and a golden light lit up on its fists.

The next second,

A shadow of a water ghost floated out of the well.

"Monkey, show mercy!"

The water ghost's face was blurred, but it could be seen that he was also in the same state of festering.

Since they turned into ghosts, they all looked like this, and they obviously died of this disease during their lifetime.

"Why give that woman water?"

"She offered me a sacrifice and asked me to save her son's life. I can't save him, so I can only let him live for a while."

"Who are you?"

Hearing this question, the originally calm water ghost began to look ferocious.

"Who am I? Ho...w. Who am I?!"

He signaled that Mingyue temporarily closed his hearing and began to chant mantras.

"Sentient beings are all troubles, and all troubles are suffering. Troubles are neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing. Those with shapes are born in the formless, incapable of being born, and existence returns to nothing. The environment is born from the mind, if you recite mantras..."

After the Great Compassion Mantra of the Heaven and Earth,

The water ghost completely calmed down.

It was as calm as if a mentally ill patient had his forehead lobe removed.

"Think about it now, who are you?"

"I can't remember who I am, but I remember that I was drowned in the well when the villagers quarreled, because I encountered something unclean in the mountains and got sick, and they were afraid that I would harm the village."

The water ghost's expression is unwavering, and his voice is as plain as water.

Chen Budu frowned slightly, and then asked again: "What unclean thing did you encounter?"

"I don't know, but I feel that it has awakened..."

The water ghost looked at Ziwu Valley, his voice trembled, but his face was particularly calm under the action of the Great Compassion Mantra of the Heaven and Earth, forming a strange contrast.

And the next second, the water ghost screamed.

"It has noticed me, it has noticed you too! Those who have been noticed by it have to die!"

As if responding to the words of the water ghost, a rumbling sound came from Ziwu Valley.

Shen Budui clasped his hands together and looked into the distance.
